Battle Through the Heavens: Harmony of Flame and Shadow

"Kill!"

A sharp shout rang out as the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor flicked his fingers, causing drops of black corpse water to shoot out, transforming into a small stream. Though that stream seemed without momentum, wherever it passed, even the void itself exuded an aura of deathly silence.

"Roar—"

Along the way, the black corpse water suddenly morphed into a gigantic skull, emanating a force that polluted the world as it surged toward the ring in the sky.

Sizzle!

The massive ring, tinted with the essence of reincarnation, collided heavily with the gigantic skull formed from the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's summoned extreme evil corpse water, under the watchful eyes of countless evil entities from outside the region.

Boom!

As they clashed, the corpse water began to invade, attempting to unleash its terrifying corrosive filth. However, just at that moment, the black-and-white ring burst forth with dazzling light, shaking with the power of reincarnation.

Under the influence of this power, it seemed even space itself was on the verge of collapsing and disintegrating!

Under the horrified gaze of numerous evil entities, the massive skull rapidly disintegrated, as though ice melting under ferocious flames, vanishing into thin air within moments.

Crack!

The colossal energy attack quickly dissipated, disappearing into the void within just a few breaths. Yet, the enormous black-and-white ring remained suspended in the sky, slowly rotating.

Boom!

The pupils of the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor suddenly contracted. Accompanied by a muffled roar, the black-and-white ring in the sky transformed into a massive yin-yang fish eye, descending to suppress him.

"How dare you!"

Repeated failures not only brought shame to the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor but also ignited his fury. Since when could a mere Supreme of Lingpin realm thwart him repeatedly?

"Deathly Ray!"

With a long howl, a whirlpool condensed within his black vortex-filled pupils. A black line shot out, emanating a annihilating aura, draining the life from everything it touched, landing heavily on the descending yin-yang fish eye.

Boom—

At this moment, the onlookers from the evil clan outside the region sighed in relief as Jiang Yun's attack finally shattered under the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's assault.

They instinctively heaved a sigh of relief, then suddenly realized how peculiar it was for a Supreme of Lingpin realm to exert such pressure on them.

"Not bad, at least you took one of my moves!" Jiang Yun chuckled softly, speaking slowly.

He didn't expect to resolve a top-tier Supreme Demon Emperor with just one move; he hadn't reached that level yet. Nevertheless, it didn't stop him from aggravating his opponent.

"You've completely angered me!" The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor roared furiously; his voice, as if echoing from the abyss of the Nine Netherworlds, was filled with intense killing intent, almost tangible, freezing to the bone.

His pupils turned ghostly white. Within mere seconds, both his eyes transformed into a deathly hue, losing their pupils.

The white eyes, like the gaze of a death god, exuded a chilling aura.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed, and his body tensed up. Their duel had now officially begun, and an enraged top-tier Demon Emperor could not be ignored by anyone in the Grand Thousand Worlds.

Boom!

Whitish currents seeped from his flesh and merged continuously with his corpse aura, forming a towering white figure behind him. This figure, crowned in black and holding a white scythe, erupted with a burst of deathly aura, heralding the true descent of the deity of death.

"Corpse God Arts·Three Bows of the Corpse God!"

The Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's voice, laced with boundless killing intent, echoed eerily throughout the world.

He bowed from afar towards Jiang Yun, and the colossal shadow behind him also knelt in submission.

Instantly, the entire world plunged into darkness, deathly cries filling the sky, instilling overwhelming dread.

"First Bow, Steal Life!"

As his cold voice resonated, a storm of indescribable deathly aura swept forth, stripping life from everything it touched, plunging the world into grayscale lifelessness.

"Retreat quickly—"

A panic-stricken shout echoed as strong entities of the evil clan began retreating rapidly, eyes filled with terror as they gazed at the seething deathly aura. The corpse clan's corpse god arts, formidable yet indiscriminate, made them fear for their own survival even before Jiang Yun fell.

"Hehe."

In an instant, Jiang Yun's skin turned ghostly pale, his flesh withering as his vitality ebbed away. Yet, the next second, he gave the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor a strange smile.

You have bizarre corpse god arts, and I have the innate divine abilities nurtured by my nine god veins.

"Supreme Divine Art, Impervious to All!"

The next second, Jiang Yun's nine god veins erupted with divine radiance, forming a mysterious pattern in his body. His skin emitted a peculiar red glow, flowing like a strange secret force over his body, restoring his withered skin to its jade-like luster and halting the loss of vitality instantly.

Swoosh!

Activating his 'cheat,' Jiang Yun ignored the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's corpse god arts and charged at him with relentless punches.

Seeing Jiang Yun unaffected by the Three Bows of the Corpse God, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's pupils shrank, witnessing an unbelievable scene.

Next moment, a golden fist enlarged rapidly in his sight.

Boom!

Years of battle experience made the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor react swiftly, clashing his skeletal claw against the fist, producing a metallic clank and forcing both backwards.

"Impossible, impossible! How can you be unaffected?" He roared with madness, more shaken by Jiang Yun's imperviousness than the humiliation of being repelled by a Lingpin Supreme.

"Nothing is impossible!"

With a cold smile, Jiang Yun threw another punch, its golden radiance akin to ancient divine beasts' power, encompassing numerous Demon Emperors with overwhelming dominance.

"Bastard—"

"No matter how strange your divine art is, you cannot humiliate us like this!"

"Kill, kill, kill! This emperor doesn't believe such an incredible divine art can last till the end of the battle!"

"Kill him! I shall forge him into the most terrifying corpse puppet, imprisoning his soul forever!"

Jiang Yun's disdainful actions ignited the rage of the Demon Emperors, who unleashed their formidable shadows and divine arts towards Jiang Yun.

Instantly, Jiang Yun engaged in a brutal clash with the invading Demon Emperors, neither side yielding, fighting fiercely among the blood mist.

Below, the demon entities equivalent to Earth Sovereigns retreated in fear, gazing at Jiang Yun like a monster. His physically formidable body rivaled even the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, nearly invulnerable.

Coupled with the mysterious invincibility, regardless of what divine art or demon weapon the Demon Emperors used, it was all nullified, failing even to dull his red glow slightly.

On the battlefield, the Demon Emperors stared helplessly as their divine arts vanished upon touching Jiang Yun, their frustration rising. Responding to them were Jiang Yun's heavy punches.

Despite their efforts, Jiang Yun's formidable physique made him invincible, countering their powerful divine arts with ease, breaking their defense.

Boom—

As Jiang Yun's punch blasted the Blood Zombie Demon Emperor's chest, collapsing it and sending him flying into ruins, he rose swiftly, eyes bloodshot, roaring at Jiang Yun, "No, impossible! This emperor doesn't believe there's an unsolvable divine art in the world!"

"Corpse God Arts·Three Bows of the Corpse God."

"Second Bow, Devour God!"

"Third Bow, Annihilate World!"

The next moment, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's corpse aura boiled, pouring endlessly into the terrifying colossal shadow behind him. The head, once lifted, bowed again towards Jiang Yun.

With each bow, a grey light, about a meter long, shot explosively from the corpse aura shadow's eyes.

After this move, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's flesh melted, transforming into vitality and infusing into the colossal shadow behind him.

Bowing consecutively towards Jiang Yun!

Instantly, the world froze; ferocious winds ceased, spiritual energy halted, and all sounds silenced, dissipating into nothingness.

Space within hundreds of thousands of miles around Jiang Yun shattered, fragments raining down like a violent storm.

Below, the earth cracked, unseen abysses spreading endlessly in all directions.

Woo woo!

Black gales surged, emitting a putrid smell of decaying corpses. The black corpse winds annihilated all life in their path, extinguishing all living beings.

Standing supreme, Jiang Yun faced the raging corpse winds, feeling the annihilation within. Smiling slightly, he fixated on the skeletal form of the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Then, activating his impervious divine art, he advanced, disregarding the dual corpse god arts towards the Blood Zombie Demon Emperor.

"Annihilate All, Demon and God Alike!"

During flight, the destructive black wind touched Jiang Yun, only to be nullified by a mysterious force in the despairing eyes of the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, inflicting no harm.

"Emperor's Sword·Divine Slash!"

From the void came a long howl. Jiang Yun's black eyes blossomed with luminous light, summoning an ancient sword crystal in his grasp.

The Emperor's Sword, nurtured over time, now displayed its peerless prowess, regaining its peak sharpness.

As the Emperor's Sword unsheathed, a divine aura swept across, slashing mercilessly towards the demonic army from outside the region.

Swish!

Crystal light zipped through the air, piercing the hearts of demon emperors and the demonic army, striking terror in their hearts.

The sword, silent yet daunting, made the faces of many Demon Emperors pale with horror.

Within the sword's aura lay unfathomable waves, invoking the terror they felt against top-tier Demon Emperors.

Jiang Yun wasn't only defensively extraordinary but also fiercely offensive!

"Block it!"

A desperate cry blasted from the demonic clan, retreating frantically as endless demonic energy formed protective barriers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The crystal light breached layers of defense, while weaker demons paled in fear, and a dozen Demon Emperors unleashed their energy against the light.

Boom—

"Quick, the energy fluctuations ahead indicate our demon slayers are battling the evil clan. We must support them."

"Such terrifying energy waves suggest many strong invaders; the demon slayers must be suffering great losses!"

"These wretched beings, coming in force, must be prepared for their demise!"

The battle between Jiang Yun and the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, with its intense energy waves, provided direction for the approaching Grand Thousand Towers' reinforcements, urging them towards the battlefield.
