Wu Hen's voice echoed within the hall.
But Wu Hen's figure had long disappeared from Yinzhou City.
Atop the eye of the storm, there was a Dust Temple!
Inside the Dust Temple, there was a gigantic mural.
The mural depicted a thriving cityscape, with city towers, streets, shops, palace walls, and temple pavilions...
In the Dust Temple, a Yellow Robed Yin Gong stood with his hands behind his back. He was bowing his head, peering through the eye of the storm at the massive mirage of Yinzhou City below, like a Heavenly Court Wanderer, savoring the spectacle of the mortal world!
But at this moment, Yellow Robed Yin Gong felt a sudden tingling on his scalp. He abruptly turned back, looking through the symmetrical temple windows, only to see that the lofty, ethereal clouds had been obscured by a massive black sword!
"All I see is a mere sword shadow??" Yellow Robed Yin Gong was stunned and was about to roll up the entire Dust Temple and flee the sky.
However, a figure, radiating Miracle Thunder, appeared in the Dust Temple, emerging behind Yellow Robed Yin Gong.
The Death Sword in his hand, though seemingly thin and long, brought forth the chill of a glacier. As it hovered near his neck, Yellow Robed Yin Gong felt a shiver throughout his body, as if his soul would scatter!
"Never thought you were a Lord too. Apologies for my earlier rudeness." Yellow Robed Yin Gong immediately lowered his stance, his face plastered with a servile smile.
"Why aren't you laughing? Displeased?" Wu Hen coldly asked, staring at this creature that toyed with lives.
"I admit defeat. All treasures in Yinzhou City are yours for the taking. I will no longer torment the mortals you protect..." Yellow Robed Yin Gong said.
The apology came quite swiftly.
Wu Hen found it amusing; moments ago, he was exuding an air of superiority, too prideful to converse with ants. How did he change so suddenly?
Keep pretending a bit longer, my sword hasn't even warmed up!
"Initially, I thought a being of your stature would at least be reasonable. Yet, you're worse than a beast. Animals, when dying, would moan humbly, but you apologize and surrender with such ease?" Wu Hen said.
"Forgive my poor judgment; indeed, I didn't see your prowess. Venerable Desert Dust inevitably conflicts sometimes. If we always fought to the death, it would benefit neither of us, and we'd have to guard against third parties taking advantage. How can you be sure nothing's watching us as we fight?" Yellow Robed Yin Gong pointed above the Dust Temple.
"Understood, understood. The cattle and horses may die, but beings of our level should adhere to social niceties, right? You lost and offer compensation as a sign of respect?" Wu Hen countered.
"The one within you is also quite weak." Yellow Robed Yin Gong slowly smirked, still dismissive of Wu Hen.
"So you need to serve as nourishment. Stop pretending to be a grand sage, die!!" Wu Hen no longer spoke.
With a forceful swing, the Death Sword decapitated him, the blade erupting with dense lightning that instantly reduced the Dust Temple to rubble!
Yellow Robed Yin Gong was greatly alarmed but reacted swiftly.
His body disintegrated into countless golden Dust Worms, resembling locusts or flying ants. Each shone brilliantly, as if they had undergone centuries of cultivation, surpassing Mortal Spirits!
Yellow Robed Yin Gong, after fleeing far away, reformed like a streak of golden silk, quickly moving under the dark clouds, reaching the vast sand dunes in no time.
His body reassembled, then he began to command the boundless locust dunes!
The desert was made of locusts, all raised by Yellow Robed Yin Gong. With a single command, the whole desert boiled. They flew into the sky, arranging meticulously, forming countless Heavenly Pythons!
The Heavenly Pythons swarmed, writhing on the ground, soaring in the air. Yellow Robed Yin Gong stood among the hundreds of these locust Heavenly Pythons, sinister and imposing!
Wu Hen plummeted from the sky like a black meteor. As the Black Divine Material fully unleashed within him, he felt his physique surpass a hundredfold. Speed, strength, perception, all transcended human levels, like a Heavenly God embodied!!
"Not an opponent that can be defeated with one strike, is it?" Wu Hen conversed with Little Yi.
Little Yi indicated that in its full form, not even a single strike would be needed; the Sword Intent Thunder could reduce him to dust!
Wu Hen also noticed that this time, the Holy Father granted him absolute control. On one hand, he had gradually earned Little Yi's acknowledgment. On the other, he now had a true body in the Desert Dust. His physique could now harmonize with the release of the Black Divine Material!
"Understood, main course!" Wu Hen grasped the situation and focused entirely on his opponent.
The power of the Black Divine Material was immensely strong.
Wu Hen felt as if he was clumsily controlling a grand mecha, where any random move could destroy mountains and rivers. But, being symbiotic with Little Yi, he would, during the use of the power, uncover some of Little Yi's "battle memories," subtly guiding him on how to unleash the true Divine Skills of the Black Divine Death Sword!
Wu Hen landed on the undulating locust dunes, and dozens of the alien locust dunes were instantly evaporated into black mist.
He listened to the predatory Heavenly Pythons in the sky. His greatly enhanced perception seemed to grant him a "lock-on" ability.
With just a thought, hundreds of locust Heavenly Pythons' positions were all captured by Wu Hen's listening sense. The Death Sword in Wu Hen's hand began to release agitated black matter, like boiling black magma...
The locust Heavenly Pythons surged forward, like evil dragons from a primordial era. Their bodies composed of tens of thousands of alien locusts, hard as diamonds, claws and fangs sharp to an extreme, also carrying a kind of otherworldly insect venom. The Spirit Awakeners that came into contact would turn into white bones.
Facing such terrifying sight, Wu Hen, with black magma surging all over, suddenly swung his sword skyward, a seemingly simple motion, but with multiple shadows.
Immediately, streaks of black sword marks appeared in the sky, some parallel to the ground, some intersecting, some vertically splitting the heavens. Each precisely struck the Heavenly Pythons, obliterating these giant worm pythons!
None of the locked Heavenly Pythons were spared. Moments ago, the scene was filled with dreadful Pythons blocking out the sky. Now, they turned into powdered insect shells, cascading down like a yellow dust waterfall from the sky.
Yellow Robed Yin Gong was horrified, hastily commanding the sand, but the locust sands within kilometers had all been turned to shell powder by Wu Hen. The locust dunes farther away couldn't move quickly enough to reach Yellow Robed Yin Gong!
"Ignorant kid, you overstep your bounds!" Yellow Robed Yin Gong transformed into countless golden Dust Worms again, fleeing deep into the locust evil degree.
How could Wu Hen let such a feast of golden fried stinging rice escape? He listened to the sounds emitted by the Dust Worms, observing the opponent's fleeing direction, and searching for their movement patterns!
Wu Hen suddenly disappeared from his spot.
Elsewhere, Yellow Robed Yin Gong flew and burrowed deep into the Sky Sand Desert. Here, it was no longer rolling dunes, but the more magnificent Locust Mountain Range!
These mountain ranges, some towering into the clouds, some spanning tens of kilometers, were barren, devoid of any life. Only the howling wind raised white bones!
Reaching here, Yellow Robed Yin Gong felt somewhat relieved.
Here, he could freely use his secret techniques, essentially standing in his own domain, capable of handling the opponent if they pursued.
Suddenly, the sound of a sword resonated between heaven and earth.
In the next moment, Yellow Robed Yin Gong saw the figure of that Black Divine Child, seemingly traversing the void to arrive directly in front of him.
Immediately after, the majestic Locust Mountain Range began to undergo a ludicrous annihilation. From top to bottom, it was as if the thick foundation of the world was being destroyed, replaced by numerous black divine miracles. They soared into the sky, rooted into the ground, and terrifyingly approached like a tsunami, layer upon layer!
Locusts, after all, were but insects. No matter how numerous, compared to the grandeur of the Black Divine Miracle, it was the difference between a snake and a great dragon!
The Divine Miracle was boundless, both mountain and sea. They endowed the one holding the Death Sword with a godly might that surpassed deities. With Wu Hen's sword swing, the Black Divine Death Sword Intent began to crush the heavens and earth, obliterate the insect kingdom, the vast energy making the otherworldly dimension seem on the brink of rupture!
Yellow Robed Yin Gong's eyes were filled with terror. His face no longer bore any arrogance or loftiness. He tried to transform back into golden Dust Worms to escape, but each particle clung tightly together, no longer obeying his command.
Yellow Robed Yin Gong flailed his arms, like a Daoist, using the Yin Pole Technique to envelop everything controllable around him onto his body!
A massive amount of locust sand quickly gathered around Yellow Robed Yin Gong, rapidly forming a golden locust star mountain!
But as the Black Divine Mountain Sea Sword Intent crushed forward, the locust star mountain around Yin Gong disintegrated like a mud ball in a river.
"No, no, no, no, everything can be negotiated... everything!"
Yellow Robed Yin Gong, hiding inside, realized he couldn't withstand the vast Black Divine Miracle's might. He began to beg for mercy and scream, eventually humbly crawling within the locust mountain, pleading for Wu Hen to spare him.
"Tell me, do I have the power over your life and death?" Wu Hen remembered Yellow Robed Yin Gong's previous "hearty laugh."
"Yes!! Yes!!! Spare me!!" Yellow Robed Yin Gong knelt and kowtowed frantically, until his head left afterimages!
