Chapter 1986: Divine Bow Injures the Enemy

Seeing this, Baohua's face remained expressionless, but she immediately made a grabbing motion in the air towards the jade plate's location.

A colossal, earth-shattering boom!

A flash of light emanated from the giant white sun in the sky. From it, an enormous hand, over a hundred zhang in size, stretched out. As its five fingers spread, white true flames fiercely burned on its palm, reaching directly for the jade plate below.

From within the jade plate, the blood light roared once more. The black-and-white Taiji pattern vibrated, detaching from the jade plate, and rapidly expanded several times over as it rushed towards the giant hand. Meanwhile, the jade plate itself hummed, and the surrounding space twisted and blurred, preparing to teleport away with another flash.

The moment the black-and-white Taiji touched the giant hand wreathed in white flames, its protective light immediately flickered wildly. As the giant hand's five fingers closed, the Taiji pattern burst open with a mournful cry.

The surging white flames instantly turned the fragments of the black-and-white Taiji into nothingness. Then, with a sweep, they somehow enveloped the jade plate below.

Even though the three blood-light avatars inside the jade plate were greatly alarmed, and different sounds of pleading and cursing emanated simultaneously, the jade plate, enveloped in furiously burning white flames, almost instantly changed from its pristine white, jade-like appearance to a scorching crimson.

Furthermore, when the giant hand's five fingers firmly grasped the jade plate, five white fire dragons flew out from its fingertips. After merely circling and dancing around the jade plate, they caused the artifact to begin melting and dissolving layer by layer.

"No!"

A cry of extreme shock and rage erupted from within the jade plate. Immediately afterward, amidst a wild flash of spiritual light, a several-inch-tall pagoda flew out from the plate. After a flicker, it transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall seven-colored illusion, which forcibly separated the five fire dragons from the plate.

Although the five fire dragons thrashed and wagged their tails, continuously spouting white flames, they seemed utterly powerless against the seven-colored giant pagoda illusion.

Not only that, but after a layer of seven-colored aura on the surface of the giant illusion rapidly rotated, it actually absorbed a considerable amount of white flames into itself, causing itself to expand even further.

But at this moment, the giant sun in the sky, under Baohua's incantation, rumbled down like a colossal mountain.

Although the seven-colored pagoda illusion was incredibly profound, in the hands of the three blood-light avatars, it couldn't unleash its full power. Under the immense pressure of the giant sun, it only lasted a few seconds before shattering and collapsing piece by piece.

The seven-colored light points flickered and converged, reforming into a several-inch-tall pagoda, which floated motionlessly in its original spot, its light dim.

And as the giant white sun descended, the great plate below had no time to react and was instantly swallowed by the giant sun.

Amidst blinding flashes of light, the jade plate melted again. But just before it completely dissolved, three streaks of blood light shot out from the jade plate. However, as soon as they were enveloped by the surging white flames, they immediately let out horrific screams and transformed into three wisps of black energy, which were then consumed by the white flames.

These three streaks of blood light were precisely the three great avatars of Blood Light!

Each of these three great avatars possessed divine abilities no weaker than a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator, yet they seemed utterly vulnerable before Baohua.

Of course, this was partly because the three were merely avatars while Baohua was in her true form. Furthermore, the Illusory Sun divine ability inherently had a miraculous restraining effect on most demonic cultivation techniques.

Otherwise, even if Baohua was once renowned in the Demon Realm, with her greatly diminished cultivation now, she could never have so easily annihilated the three great Blood Light avatars, especially when they were protected by supreme treasures.

Almost simultaneously with the demise of the Blood Light avatars, inside the great demonic tower near Tianyuan City, another red-robed young man was seated solemnly on a stone chair in the center, listening intently as several Demon Sovereigns of the Integration Stage explained the results of the recent demonic army's sweep through human territories.

Currently, the demonic forces in this region had not only completely swept through all large strongholds except for Tianyuan City, but had also largely cleared out the smaller strongholds where minor aristocratic families and sects were hiding in secret places. They had also begun planning how to completely encircle and seal off Tianyuan City.

The red-robed young man listened, completely engrossed, occasionally nodding in agreement. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, simultaneously letting out a low growl of extreme shock and rage.

"Impossible! How could something happen to all three of them, even when they were working together?!"

When the other Demon Sovereigns saw the red-robed young man's furious, twisted face, they were naturally greatly startled. For a moment, they couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

"Lord Blood Light, what has happened that causes you such shock and anger?" an elderly Demon, whose status was not low, asked cautiously after a slight hesitation.

"It's nothing," the red-robed young man said, his thoughts shifting as the anger on his face quickly receded, restoring his usual composure. "Three of my personal guards, upon whom I had planted a spiritual imprint, encountered some trouble and botched an important task I entrusted to them. But it doesn't matter; I'll send someone else later."

Seeing the red-robed young man speak like this, the other Demon Sovereigns, although still harboring some doubts, naturally dared not press for further details. Only one friendly Demon Sovereign cleared his throat twice and resumed the previous topic of discussion.

For the rest of the time, the red-robed young man remained exceptionally calm, as if his previous outburst of rage had truly been a momentary lapse.

Deep within a strange, blood-red lake in the Ancient Demon Realm, a furious roar suddenly erupted without any warning.

The roar was shrill and piercing, causing the nearby lake water to tremble violently. But after a short while, the roar abruptly ceased, and no sound was heard again.

In the Spirit Realm, the moment the giant sun descended upon Yuancha, the crystalline light screen formed by the black ancient mirror instantly shattered, unable to withstand the force.

The white flames emanating from the giant sun mercilessly swept down as well.

Yuancha's face turned utterly pale, and she could no longer hold back, hastily opening her mouth to cry for help:

From the stone hall below, a black light suddenly flashed, and a figure shot out like a phantom. With a blur, it instantly appeared behind Yuancha, raising a slender hand and flicking it upwards.

With a "puch!" sound, a fist-sized golden orb flew out. It flashed and vanished, disappearing into the giant sun.

Immediately afterward, an earth-shattering boom resonated, and a golden halo burst open within the giant sun. It was unknown what kind of power this golden halo contained, but in the instant it exploded, it forcibly blasted a ten-zhang diameter hole in the giant sun.

This hole was naturally insignificant compared to the mountain-like colossal size of the white sun. But the black figure that had suddenly appeared swiftly twirled its body, transforming into a wisp of black light that enveloped Yuancha, and then, like a startling rainbow, vanished into the hole.

"Six Extremes!" Baohua's previously calm face changed the moment the black figure appeared; her pupils constricted, and an icy voice came from her lips. Then, both her hands simultaneously grabbed downwards into the air.

Two "swoosh" sounds emanated, and two petals from the giant flower beneath her feet detached and shot towards her hands.

As a result, a green light flashed in one hand, and one petal transformed into a crisp, verdant giant bow. The other petal, with a dazzling white light, directly transformed into a long arrow, entirely shrouded in white mist.

Baohua's movements seemed unhurried, but with just a pull of her hands, she shot the white long arrow without even aiming.

The moment the long arrow left her hand, its entire body boiled with white flames, and it transformed into a streak of crystalline light, vanishing from sight.

At this moment, the black figure had just flashed out of the hole, still enveloping Yuancha, when a deafening roar erupted next to its ear. It immediately tensed and inwardly cried, "Oh no!" Immediately afterward, a blue light flashed across its body, and eight crystalline small shields appeared simultaneously.

Each small shield was entirely pale blue and crystalline, as if forged from glacial ice, and instantly overlapped, blocking the black figure.

The piercing shriek abruptly ceased!

The white crystalline streak appeared momentarily before the eight shields, and then vanished in a flash.

The next moment, a series of crisp, extended shattering sounds resonated, as the eight small shields simultaneously burst open.

The figure in the black light stumbled, and a thumb-sized blood hole inexplicably appeared on its chest. With a "bang," a ball of white flames burst open within the blood hole, instantly engulfing the black figure in fierce flames.

Only then could the true identity of the black figure be clearly seen: a slender woman completely covered in glossy black armor. Her face was also covered by a visor, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, making her appear extremely mysterious.

Although the armored woman was instantly enveloped by white flames, her eyes showed no trace of panic. Instead, she suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a ball of vital blood, which quickly transformed into a cloud of blood mist and spread out.

An astonishing sight appeared!

Wherever the blood mist passed, the seemingly formidable white flames were astonishingly extinguished in an instant, completely annihilated in moments, leaving no trace.

But the armored woman paid no attention to her injuries. Instead, she swiftly formed an incantation with one hand, and as a black light flared on her body, she once again enveloped Yuancha and tore through space towards the distant void.

Her escape speed was so swift that in merely the blink of an eye, the black light reached the edge of the sky and vanished directly with another flicker.

At this moment, the armored woman's cold voice slowly...

Meanwhile, the stone hall in the void suddenly glowed with swirling five-colored radiance, and countless runes surged forth, converging below it into a colossal magic formation.

The stone hall was at the center of the light formation and was about to blur and directly teleport away.

"Hmph, they can leave, but you two will stay here for now," Baohua said with a low cry. Her expression was already somewhat displeased upon seeing that her arrow had not achieved complete success, and it worsened as she observed this scene.

The bow and other items in her hand vanished simultaneously, and she pointed her finger towards the distant void again!

But the giant sun in the sky instantly transformed into a layer of white fire curtain, covering the entire sky.

And with this point, radiance flickered below the stone hall, another colossal pink flower appeared out of thin air, and a streak of pink sword energy suddenly flashed out from the nearby void, striking directly onto the colossal light formation.

A corner of the light formation instantly collapsed and disintegrated, and the stone hall, which had just begun to blur, swayed and became clear and real once more.

Two low roars came from within the stone hall. It trembled and split into two from the middle, then, with a roll, transformed into two enormous grey-white stone giants.

The stone giants pounded their chests and continuously roared at Baohua and the mighty man. However, being extremely wary, they dared not truly charge forward.
