With a single thought.
The thousand zhang nine-colored Sword Qi completely penetrated the enormous liquidified alien power.
The thirty zhang body of the Netherworld King was pushed by the sword tip, flying out from within and was fiercely nailed to the Purple and Cyan Immortal Mountain thousands of miles away.
The Liquid Spiritual Energy Lake within the mountain violently shook, cascading down along the mountain body.
Some splashed onto the Netherworld King’s body, washing away the dirty blood and revealing a body full of devastating wounds.
On his vast thirty zhang body, there were nine shocking blood holes, continuously gushing fresh blood.
Especially the wound on his forehead which shattered his Original Star, piercing through his head, nearly delivering a fatal move.
Only some remnant soul remained.
"Thanks..." the Netherworld King weakly said, showing a look of release.
He reached out, tremblingly pulled from his waist a bag, opened it, and a perfectly intact soul appeared.
Jiang Fan was surprised: "Heart Demon Venerable?"
He was actually defeated, his path body destroyed? His soul was captured by the Netherworld King...
To be precise, it was protected.
In such a chaotic battlefield, a soul is hard to survive unless someone purposely shelters it.
"Use him... to exchange for Zijiang, how about it?"
It turned out, the Netherworld King had prepared his final plan for defeat long ago.
Upon discovering Heart Demon Venerable being devoured by a Four-star Giant King, he decisively rescued his soul.
Heart Demon Venerable, being of Divinity Transformation Realm in Taicang State, once fought alongside Jiang Fan.
Given Jiang Fan’s deep emotions and righteousness, there was no way he would ignore Heart Demon Venerable’s soul.
Without a shred of hesitation, Jiang Fan took out the Domain Mirror, throwing it over.
The Netherworld King caught it and then released Heart Demon Venerable’s soul.
The moment of release, he suddenly took out a Jade Talisman crafted by Inferior Sages, crushed it, and a massive gas flow enveloped him, disappearing from the spot.
He had unexpectedly escaped!
Heart Demon Venerable was extremely remorseful, saying: "Starfire Venerable, you shouldn’t have bothered with me."
Jiang Fan confirmed he was alright, slightly relieved:
"Heart Demon friend, don’t joke, ten Princess Zi Jiang wouldn’t compare to your life."
"Using her for your life is a fair trade."
Heart Demon Venerable was still guilty, looking worriedly at the dirty blood left by the Netherworld King, saying: "But letting the Netherworld King escape will become a hidden danger."
Jiang Fan said: "Rest assured, the two are already not able to cause any waves."
"After the war ends, we’ll search for the two of them."
He took out a bag, saying: "Heart Demon friend, come in first, after the war ends, I’ll reshape your path body."
Heart Demon Venerable, upon hearing, finally relaxed a little, flying into the bag.
Securely keeping the bag, Jiang Fan finally turned with a slightly somber expression towards the surroundings.
How could he not know it was like releasing a tiger back to the mountain?
The Netherworld King indeed can’t survive, but Princess Zi Jiang is not an easy one!
In heart, domain, wisdom, she is a major threat.
Though she is only a One-star Giant King, given time, she will certainly become a hidden danger!
What he said earlier was simply to not upset Heart Demon Venerable.
Later, he must find Princess Zi Jiang and eliminate her completely!
As for now.
Jiang Fan looked towards the Five-Star Kings of the Western Heavenly Realm with a cold killing intent!
Meanwhile.
In the distant Southern Heavenly Realm.
The Netherworld King, holding the Domain Mirror, crashed into a blossoming flower valley.
He lay powerlessly on the ground, using the scant power he had left to tear open the mirror.
The eight zhang tall Princess Zi Jiang was released.
She was slightly confused, but upon seeing the Netherworld King’s dire condition, she couldn’t help but scream: "Netherworld!"
She tried to cover the sword holes on his body, but covering one still left others spraying blood.
"Time Reversal!" Princess Zi Jiang triggered her origin, trying to reverse the injuries.
However, the injuries were unaffected, blood still flowing.
