The Skull Monarch, seeing that victory was long in coming and his own strength was being depleted, leaped out of the arena. He instantly unleashed a divine ability that only Jun-tier experts could wield. The terrifying Soul Devouring Black Hole appeared like the gaping maw of a primordial beast, sending chills down one's spine. If one were truly caught by its devouring power, it would inflict immense damage to the soul, possibly even annihilating it.
Sensing the rapidly approaching terrifying devouring power, Xian Qing'er and Mo Wu Xin exchanged glances, their minds instantly in sync.
"Yin Yang Two Extremes Shield!"
As one immortal and one demon uttered this in unison with a soft shout.
In an instant, golden and red glows surged from all the immortal and demon soldiers. The immortal and demon light converged, and a colossal Taiji diagram slowly revolved before the entire immortal and demon soldier squad. The Taiji diagram exuded a sacred yet murderous aura, appearing incredibly bizarre, yet it completely blocked the devouring power released by the Soul Devouring Black Hole.
At this moment, all the immortal and demon soldiers were continuously providing power to the Taiji diagram. It was as if these immortal and demon soldiers had become a single entity, using their combined strength to resist the divine ability of the mid-Jun-tier Skull Monarch.
Witnessing this scene, Mu Ke, the priest beside the immortal and demon soldiers, was somewhat bewildered. "Wait, such an awesome skill of yours only protects you immortal and demon soldiers. What about me?"
"Immortal Demon Fusion Technique—Immortal Demon World Purification!"
Just then, all the immortal and demon soldiers let out a high-pitched chant. Following this, the immortal and demon light instantly fused, and the Taiji diagram erupted with nearly a hundred feet of radiance. The incomparably evil and terrifying devouring power immediately receded like a tide.
As the crimson-gold immortal and demon light shone upon the dark aura swirling around the Skull Monarch, it produced crackling sounds like a boiling pot. The horrifying black light melted away like snow encountering sunlight. The dazzling immortal and demon light swept through, and both the devouring power and the Soul Devouring Black Hole were almost entirely annihilated in an instant. The dark aura the Skull Monarch used for protection also vanished. Even its bone structure, which had already taken on a pale golden metallic sheen, began to melt as if encountering the flames of lava. Wisps of black smoke occasionally hissed and rose from its body.
"Urghhh!!!" The Skull Monarch let out a piercing scream, its voice trembling. Clearly, the immortal and demon light was causing it immense harm. Having been a undead creature for nearly a thousand years, this was the first time it had truly felt extreme pain. Although this unprecedented feeling was enjoyable, it was also unbearable. It could clearly feel that if it were to be exposed to this bizarre light any longer, it would turn into a pile of ashes, or even vaporize entirely, leaving nothing behind.
Furthermore, this excruciating pain did not originate from its body. Its body was merely a skeleton, devoid of flesh and blood, without nerves. Even if it were shattered piece by piece, it would feel nothing. This agony stemmed from its soul. The nascent soul fused within this skeleton was being scorched by the immortal and demon light. It was not merely a sacred power, but a chilling force filled with death and slaughter that was eroding its soul.
Immortal and demon spiritual energy, one from the highest heavens, the other from the deepest abyss. Although polar opposites, both were the bane of undead power. Under the irradiation of the immortal and demon light, its entire being was being corroded. Its body was gradually melting due to the immortal and demon light, and its soul, under the forceful erosion of the immortal and demon spiritual energy, was disintegrating bit by bit.
At this moment, the Skull Monarch felt fear for the first time. Its skeletal body was one thing; after all, scattered graves were full of bones, and it could recondense with undead power if this one were lost. But what if its soul was lost? The soul and the soul fire were the very foundation of the undead. If the soul perished and the soul fire was extinguished, even the supposedly immortal undead would die irrevocably.
The Skull Monarch, while painfully resisting the erosion of the immortal and demon spiritual energy, contemplated how to escape this predicament. All the undead creatures within the entire vicinity of the scattered graves were enveloped by the Immortal Demon World Purification light. The weaker undead creatures didn't even have a chance to scream or wail; they instantly turned to dust, their souls annihilated. In short, after the Immortal Demon World Purification light swept through, ninety-nine percent of all undead creatures had essentially disappeared. Even the bone dragon, transformed from a dark demon dragon and on the verge of entering the Jun-tier, had completely vanished under the Immortal Demon World Purification light. Its soul fire was extinguished along with it, leaving no possibility of resurrection.
However, this action indirectly helped Old Ghost escape. Previously, the Skull Monarch had imprisoned him on the back of the bone dragon, and the bone dragon had used its power to suppress him. Just as he was about to break, the bone dragon's soul was annihilated, and its body turned to ash. He finally regained his freedom. For the first time, he felt how wonderful it was to be able to breathe fresh air.
However, before he could savor this "wonderful" feeling, with a "bang," he fell directly into a pile of white bones.
"Ow! This is killing me!" Old Ghost's face contorted as he struggled to stand up from the pile of bones and stumbled out. Glancing around and seeing that no one had noticed him, he limped away cautiously, staggering as he fled the scene. The disappearance of the bone dragon pained him immensely. After all, it was a peak Spirit-tier bone dragon, on the verge of becoming Jun-tier. What a formidable combat power! Yet, the bone dragon, which he hadn't even had for long, had first been swayed by the Skull Monarch and now had been completely purified by Qian Mo's immortals and demons. He felt his heart clenching. But there was nothing he could do; saving his own life was paramount, otherwise, it would be truly disastrous.
Moreover, as long as he was alive, with his mastery of [Corpse Dissolving Water] and [Scepter of the Undead], once his territory's forces grew, he could have as many bone dragons as he wanted. Why lament the loss of this one now! Conversely, the complete demise of the bone dragon was also a cause for his庆幸. Otherwise, if he had remained firmly bound to the bone dragon's back, the Skull Monarch, Qian Mo's immortal and demon soldiers, or even the bone dragon itself, could have easily annihilated him in an instant.
But, how could Qian Mo's immortal and demon soldiers possess such monstrous strength? Despite their strength being only Spirit-tier, or even not reaching the peak of Spirit-tier, their combined efforts could cripple a mid-Jun-tier Skull Monarch like this. Someone had even claimed in the public chat that Qian Mo had at most one or two Spirit-tier soldiers. That was clearly a trap! This group of soldiers, at least two-thirds, were Spirit-tier, numbering at least a dozen! With such a lineup, which territorial force would dare to contend with the Immortal Demon Tribe now?
"The Immortal Slaying Demon Alliance is probably finished too. Tsk tsk… this old skeleton looks like it's done for!" Finally breaking free from the battlefield, Old Ghost glanced back at the battle behind him and said with schadenfreude. Then, he turned and ran, wanting to quickly leave this bone-filled graveyard. The world above was more appealing, and his own territory was even more appealing!
