Chapter 385 - 386 Chapter 391 The God-beating Whip Shows Its Might

386: Chapter 391: The God-beating Whip Shows Its Might 386: Chapter 391: The God-beating Whip Shows Its Might The old fiends who had lived for over four thousand years without dying brought unparalleled, immense pressure to the Jiang Family.

Half-human, half-ghost, existing in the world eternally—who could suppress them?

The atmosphere deep in the Underground Palace was suffocating.

Every member of the Jiang Family wore a heavy expression, nervously watching the terrifying figures outside.

Thirteen Saint Master Level figures retreated to one side.

Their expressions were indifferent, their presence as profound and unfathomable as an abyss.

They were Heroic Lords of their domains, unafraid even when facing three terrifying undead.

Three old fiends stepped forward, occasional wisps of black mist emanating from their bodies.

The strong death aura made one’s heart palpitate, and the stench was nauseating.

“SNAP!” One of them made a probing move.

His withered, almost rotting palm struck the void.

A mass of black mist surged out, the power of the netherworld flowing as it began to obliterate Array Patterns.

“BUZZ!” Another old fiend was even more terrifying.

He shot two green beams from his hollow eyes that pierced through the void, beginning to erase the Great Emperor Array in the air.

The two green beams seemed to originate from the Nine Netherworld Hell.

They flickered eerily, carrying a flow of death’s power, much like the Yellow Springs rushing forth.

Everyone’s expression changed.

Even the sovereign Jiang Yun was astonished, saying, “Such a powerful divine scan!” They knew the three old fiends hadn’t truly exerted all their strength yet; right now, they were only probing.

If they unleashed a thunderous strike, it would surely be even more terrifying.

“Indeed, the Great Emperor Array is incomprehensible.

Even though it’s incomplete, it’s so earth-shattering!” one of the undead lamented.

“If it were slightly more complete, no one in this world could break it.

Sadly, it’s only a fragment after all, far too incomplete,” another added.

The three undead lamented thus, knowing that even with their incredibly powerful divine scans, it was impossible to comprehend it.

They could only destroy it with brute force.

Like a raging storm, as if ten thousand horses were galloping, the three defiant old fiends suddenly released an intense black mist that enveloped their entire bodies.

It was like the opening of the Gate of Hell, a ferocious baleful air covering the sky.

“BOOM!” Suddenly, their heads emitted an ocean-like ripple that shook the entire divine city.

These were three terrifyingly powerful divine scans, like a tsunami reaching the sky.

“BANG!” Instantly, the endless Underground Palace collapsed.

Rocks crumbled and soared into the high heavens, revealing the Dragon Transformation Pool beneath the Starry Sky.

The vast underground palaces all turned to dust in situ, revealing a terrifying Abyss—this was the frightening power of the three old fiends’ divine scans.

Unreservedly surging forth, it caused such a frightful outcome, astounding and making one almost unable to believe what was happening.

Not dying for four thousand years was not a vain reputation.

Anyone witnessing such a scene would feel their scalp tingle; the fiends’ divine scans crashed forth like a tide, obliterating all obstructions.

This caused every person to shiver all over, their body hair standing on end.

The Jiang Family felt as if they were falling into an ice cellar—how could they resist?

Even the thirteen Saint Master Level figures involuntarily retreated, keeping far away from the three old fiends, their hearts full of dread.

These three figures were too terrifying, making one tremble in fear.

“BOOM!” “BOOM!” “BOOM!” Three divine flames ignited, rising thousands of feet high, thick as mountains, utterly terrifying, embodying coldness, slaughter, and death!

The three old fiends emerged from the fire, surrounded by terrifying flames.

One of them was crimson as blood—this was his natal divine flame, staining the air like a volcanic eruption.

Another’s green flame reached the sky.

Flames burst forth from his body, burning the night sky green, as tall as thousands of feet, like an immense green mountain swaying.

The third old fiend was entirely pitch black.

Black flames ascended to the heavens, as if connecting the Nine Netherworld and Nine Heavens, piercing through the sky and earth.

The red flame, green flame, and black flame matched the color of their decayed bodies, symbolizing bloodshed, cold slaughter, and death.

“Attack!” The three old fiends let out a low roar.

Tremors ran through the air as divine scans surged from their skulls, attacking the Great Emperor Array.

They tore the void apart, relentlessly devouring and annihilating those patterns.

“Not good, stop them!” Many of the Jiang Family Elders couldn’t sit still any longer and rushed forward to strike back.

The three undead were too powerful.

At this rate, they might be able to destroy the incomplete Great Emperor Array in a little over an hour.

Their divine scans were unparalleled, rendering the Sun and Moon dim.

However, these Elders, despite being Grand Elders of the Jiang Family, stood no chance against the three old fiends who had lived for over four thousand years; there was too vast a disparity.

Their Weapons, as soon as they were launched, were blocked by the fiends’ tangible divine scans.

They shattered inch by inch into ashes, akin to smashing eggs against stones, utterly vulnerable.

“These three undead…” From afar, the thirteen Saint Master Level figures gasped.

They truly realized that beings who had lived for over four thousand years were extremely terrifying and powerful, quite unlike the modest tone the three themselves had adopted.

These three undead could definitely threaten them.

Though their bodies had decayed, their Divine Thought Power was vast like an ocean—who could withstand it?

A group of Elders from the Jiang Family linked hands, their enormous Qi surging almost to the point of combustion.

They stepped forward, joining forces to launch dozens of sacred weapons, striking outside the Array Patterns.

“Does the light of a firefly dare to compete with the brilliance of Haoyue?” one of them sneered, striking out alone.

His entire body was crimson as blood, releasing a powerful divine scan like a sea of blood that stained the underground world red.

“BANG!” He single-handedly obliterated the sacred weapons that the group of Jiang Family Elders had poured all their effort into launching, turning them into ashes.

At the same time, an incomparable divine scan surged forth.

Like a sea of blood, it penetrated the incomplete Array Patterns, waving like a scarlet butcher’s knife.

“PUFF!

PUFF!…” Six Elders were consecutively pierced through by the scarlet divine scan, instantly torn to pieces, bones shattered and flesh torn, turning into a bloody mess on the ground, dying miserably on the spot.

These were significant figures of the Jiang Family.

Yet, under the divine scan of the defiant old fiends who hadn’t died in four thousand years, they were as vulnerable as newborn babies, unable to withstand a single blow.

“BUZZ!” Jiang Yun’s expression changed.

He moved quickly, reaching out a large hand to pull the other Elders back; otherwise, no one would survive.

Even so, it was still a bit late.

The blood-colored divine scan was as fast as lightning, piercing through two more bodies, turning them into a pool of gore.

How could this be resisted?

The undead of Jiang Taixu’s era, though their bodies were powerless, could traverse the Eastern Wastelands with such a divine scan.

Who could suppress them?

Outside, the thirteen sovereigns shivered, cold sweat forming as they grew more alert, guarding against the three astonishingly ancient fiends.

Four thousand years ago, these three undead were already sovereigns.

Despite not cultivating their bodies over such a long time, their Seas of Consciousness were shocking.

“No wonder they are senior sovereigns who entered the Undying Mountain and walked out alive!” Jiang Yun exclaimed.

Above Jiang Yun’s head hovered a simple ancient pagoda.

In his hand, he held a Battle Halberd shining with black metallic light.

He strode forward to block the three old fiends from destroying the Array Patterns.

“Jiang Family whelp, are you seeking death?

When we contended with your ancestor Jiang Taixu, your grandfather didn’t even exist yet,” one of the old fiends sneered.

Yet, they did not stop, unwilling to give Jiang Taixu more time, continuously erasing Array Patterns with their divine scans.

Jiang Yun wielded the Heavenly Spear, shaking the ancient pagoda and attacking the three undead, his body moving as fast as lightning.

“SIZZLE!

SIZZLE!

SIZZLE!…” Strands of divine scan hit the Array Patterns.

Although weakened, they could not advance much farther, yet they were still terrifying, like a deadly net enveloping Jiang Yun.

Under the black, red, and green murderous intents, Jiang Yun seemed struck by lightning.

The ancient pagoda above his head was pierced, his Battle Halberd was broken, and he retreated rapidly.

What now?

Who could stop the three old fiends?

The Jiang Family was almost in despair.

Even with all their power, at this place and time, they had no solution.

Who would have thought that even the Hengyu Holy Furnace was restrained?

Otherwise, when the Great Emperor’s Holy Weapon was unleashed, nothing could withstand it, and even the strongest invaders would meet their end.

“We can’t let them in!” The Jiang Family Elders selflessly rushed forward again, almost suicidally blocking the path.

Alas, their courage was commendable, but they were truly no match for the four-thousand-year-old fiends.

Even some of the Jiang Family’s Grand Elders were insignificant before them.

“SPLAT!

SPLAT!…” More than ten figures were consecutively smashed into pulp by the three old fiends, all killed in a single blow.

The gap in strength was too vast, like an insurmountable chasm.

“A mere grain of rice, daring to shine?” one of the old fiends sneered, shooting a green light from between his brows, piercing through one Elder after another, causing their unexpected deaths.

“Jiang Taixu, I will end your descendants, bringing your lineage to a halt!” The three undead continued their attack.

“Come back!” Jiang Yun shouted, halting the others and pulling them back in front of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Before the incomplete Great Emperor Array lay a ground of bloody mud—all corpses of Jiang Family Elders.

It was lamentable; these had been influential figures in their lives, yet they met such an end in their twilight years, defending their ancestral grounds.

The time was not very long, yet many prominent figures of the Jiang Family had already died, leaving all present Jiang Family members deeply saddened.

“CRACK!” The three dreadful undead erased one Innate Pattern after another.

At this rate, it wouldn’t even take two hours.

“Who among those three rotting corpses outside dares to fight me?” Ye Fan suddenly spoke, striding forward until he was within range of the old fiends’ attack before stopping.

“A snot-nosed brat.

Even if your grandmaster came back to life, he wouldn’t dare talk to us like that.” The three old fiends glanced at Ye Fan dismissively, disinclined to attack him.

“Young friend, come back quickly!” Jiang Yun urged in a low voice.

The other Elders also transmitted their voices, wanting to forcibly bring him back.

“Let me give it a try!” Ye Fan secretly communicated back, not retreating.

Truth be told, he was also extremely nervous, having no confidence at all.

He slowly drew out the God-beating Whip, holding it in his hand, hoping it would unleash divine might.

“Those three corpses ahead, if you’re not satisfied, come at me.

A single spit from me could drown you,” Ye Fan taunted, standing within the safe zone, not daring to cross the threshold by even half a step.

One of the old fiends snorted coldly.

Unwilling to waste words on such a junior, he attacked directly.

A strand of black divine scan pierced through space.

It was like a black tide surging fiercely, terrifying beyond measure, and reached right in front of Ye Fan in an instant.

“BUZZ!” Ye Fan wielded the God-beating Whip, striking forward vigorously.

The Wooden Whip was simple and unadorned, no different from an ordinary stick, yet it was not destroyed by the black tide.

Moreover, it split the black, roaring waves, causing the ocean-like, surging black divine scan to roll back and shatter a large portion.

But the force was still too immense.

Even though it didn’t hit Ye Fan directly, it flung him away.

Like a leaf in the ocean, he was hurled hundreds of feet by the waves, landing in front of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

However, he wasn’t injured, just a bit unsteady on his feet.

On the other side, the old fiend let out a strange cry and recoiled backward, his body wavering, nearly falling to the ground.

Everyone was stupefied.

They had all witnessed how terrifying the three undead were, yet now one of them had suffered a significant loss!

“The God-beating Whip!

It has reappeared?!” one of the old fiends exclaimed in shock, eyes wide open.

Ye Fan felt a headache.

How did this old fiend know it was the God-beating Whip?

It was a weapon from the other end of the Starry Sky, brought over by Pre-Qin Qi Refiners.

Could it be that he had seen it before?

Did he understand its secrets?
