Chapter 2673: Remnants_1

Leaping into the air and using the Sea God's Light to shield himself from the luminescence, Tang Wulin gazed down at the battlefield below, which had become a living hell...

His face turned extremely ugly, "Damn Ghost Emperor, to win at all costs, you're actually willing to use such dirty tricks!!"

He had noticed that whether alive or dead, anything enveloped by that light would disintegrate instantly, turning into fresh blood that soared into the sky above...

Without a doubt, it was some kind of evil secret technique!

After taking a deep breath, he burst forward at great speed towards where the blood was converging...

Ascending hundreds of meters, he finally spotted a figure within his sight, the Ghost Emperor, arms wide open, letting the blood pour into himself...

He seemed to have sensed Tang Wulin's presence, too. Icy eyes hidden beneath a mask shot a glance over...

He expressed his surprise, "Kid, I didn't expect you to escape being turned into blood by this light!"

Presumably, it was because of the Sea God's Light shimmering even more intensely all over him...

However, Tang Wulin ignored his words and accused angrily, "Ghost Emperor, for your own selfish desires, you've killed so many people, you even don't spare your own comrades. Do you have any humanity left?"

The Ghost Emperor let out a cold laugh and mocked, "Humanity? Such a thing is optional. Besides, it's not up to a greenhorn like you to lecture me!"

"Leave now, and when the Holy Spirit Cult rules over the Continent, I might spare your life!"

Tang Wulin firmly rejected the offer, "Never, as the Master of Sea God's Pavilion, how could I possibly allow you to commit such heinous acts!"

Then, gripping the Sea God's Trident, he swung it a few times...

The first move, Disorderly Storm!

But the Ghost Emperor had no intention of defending himself at all, scoffing, "Ming Emperor, handle this guy for me!"

To the naked eye, the supposed to be fallen Ming Emperor suddenly appeared in front of the Ghost Emperor...

A Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up...

An immense surge of Nether energy formed an invisible barrier, completely blocking the wave-like attacks...

Seeing his attack thwarted, Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise, "What... Ming Emperor... Halosa, hadn't you fallen under the Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

After all, the other's presence had disappeared at that time!

The Ming Emperor showed no expression, "Those two released a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill indeed, but to think it could kill me is just naïve!"

Tang Wulin, showing rare murderous intent, retorted, "Really? Then let me kill you again right here!"

Last time, the enemy had narrowly escaped. This time, he wouldn't be so lucky!

The Ming Emperor released the Netherworld Requiem, turning into an afterimage and striking directly at his opponent's face, "Save your talk until you've actually done it!"

"Buzz!!"

His speed was so fast that Tang Wulin barely managed to dodge after activating the Purple Demon Eyes...

He immediately shouted, "Ninth soul skill, Thunder God's Whip!"

The Bluesilver Emperor, flashing with lightning, coiled around the Sea God's Trident, imbuing it with another attribute...

And launched a counterattack against the Ming Emperor...

With each swing, a streak of lightning flashed...

For a moment, the battle between them reached a stalemate...

Meanwhile, the Ghost Emperor, watching this scene and seeing that neither could gain an upper hand, also closed his eyes...

Focusing entirely on controlling his Soul Power, letting the fresh blood nourish his body...

With each second, his evil aura grew stronger!

As long as he broke through that bottleneck, whether it was the powerhouses from the major forces or even the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!

They would all become entities he could easily crush with a mere gesture!

...

Tang Sect!

Zang Xin, the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, was pacing back and forth at this moment, with furrowed brows, seemingly indicating that he was deep in thought…

Finally, the concern in his heart overwhelmed reason…

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I wonder how the three Hall Masters are managing. Based on estimates, they should already be clearing the battlefield by now."

But, up to now, there has been no news at all. Could something unexpected have occurred?

He dared not imagine it, because the three Hall Masters could be said to be the strongest in the Tang Sect, apart from himself. It would not be an exaggeration to say they were the pillars holding up the entire sect from collapsing!

Just then, a Tang Sect disciple rushed in, his face fraught with urgency, and reported breathlessly, "Report... Report to the Sect Leader, something... something terrible has happened!"

Zang Xin had a bad feeling and urgently asked, "Speak, what happened?"

The disciple continued, "According to the messages from Tang Sect disciples at the front line, the entire battlefield has now been separated by an invisible barrier!"

"Inside, there seem to be numerous strands of mysterious lights, and any Soul Master or corpse shone upon by it instantly disintegrates into blood!"

Zang Xin clenched his fists. "What about the three Hall Masters? How are they?"

The other swallowed nervously, cautiously answering, "So far, we have not received a response from the three Hall Masters. Preliminary estimates... they may have already…"

Upon hearing this, Zang Xin scolded, "Shut up, do not speculate wildly without evidence. Since there has been no response, the three Hall Masters are likely still battling the powers of the Holy Spirit Cult!!"

Although he said this with a certain expectation, he still hoped it was true!

The disciple bowed his head, his tone weakening a touch, "Yes... Sect Leader, but what should we do next?"

Zang Xin forced himself to remain calm, "Is it possible to break through that invisible barrier?"

The former shook his head, giving a definite answer, "The disciples of the Tang Sect have already tried various methods, but none have had any effect!"

Zang Xin pressed further, "What about the other major forces? Is it the same with them?"

"Yes, Sect Leader, the other forces are also helpless in the face of this situation…"

...

The strange phenomenon that appeared in the sky also attracted the attention of Soul Masters…

They were seen gathering together, discussing with a mix of nervousness, fear, and curiosity…

"Everyone, look quickly... look at that patch of sky, why has it turned crimson red?"

"Hiss... It's true, and more than that, it's continuously emitting a strong aura of evil Soul Masters. Could it be that the Holy Spirit Cult won this war?"

"No... that's impossible, right? The four Dark Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult have all fallen. How could they possibly be a match for the major forces!"

"This... this feels ominous. I better leave this city as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Holy Spirit Cult counterattacks, it will be too late to escape!"

"Don't spread rumors here. Since the major forces have yet to make any declarations, everything must still be under control!!"

"If everything is under control, then why is this happening now?"

Faced with these voices, the federation naturally felt some pressure as well…

They immediately dispatched members to stabilize the emotions of the civilians and Soul Masters…

"There's no need for panic, everyone. Most of the evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult have been eliminated. Now, only a few remnants remain. It won't be long before we achieve victory!!"
