Chapter 727: One Breath Splits the Netherworld

His colossal body, covered in long black fur, was incredibly terrifying, like a primordial demon god awakened from chaos, capable of devouring the star sea.

A thunderous roar erupted, and his eyes, many times brighter and larger than the sun, glowed with terrifying golden light and killing intent. He instantly appeared beyond the solar system.

His speed was phenomenal; he moved from Earth, engaged the Devouring God Clan expert, and reached beyond the solar system all in a single instant!

The Netherworld clan’s colossal figure, a terrifying being who had truly achieved the 'Heaven-Reflecting' realm, found that even invoking laws and activating order symbols to retreat was too late.

Yaoyao's grandfather unleashed a powerful, domineering punch, as dazzling as lightning flashing in the night, tearing a rift through the cosmos!

That same fist, also covered in long black fur, emanated an intense surge of Yang energy, radiating a scorching light that incinerated the void, causing everything to warp and crumble.

The Netherworld clan expert’s eyes, though chilling, also betrayed shock. He had never imagined that a planet, in decline since ancient times and long crippled by their forces, where even the descendants of the ancient evolvers had been nearly annihilated, could still produce such a formidable individual.

He struck with an open palm, causing the stars across the cosmos to tremble and glow. Along the path of his strike, boundless symbols of order coalesced, joining him in the suppression.

Simultaneously, black mist swirled around him, transforming him into a formidable King of the Underworld, emanating boundless murderous aura.

Outside the solar system, planets exploded, a testament to their incredibly precise energy control, as they aimed solely at their foes without wasting even a single drop of power.

The tremors generated by their clash were so terrifying that they shattered nearby asteroids.

"Old ghost, who are you?!"

The Netherworld clan giant was both shocked and enraged. The punch sent him hurtling backward, shattering a massive planet in his wake. His palm was covered in blood, and his entire arm spasmed uncontrollably.

He found it difficult to comprehend that such an event could occur after merely a single exchange.

In fact, time itself seemed to freeze, as both he and Yaoyao's grandfather communicated through soul vibrations, their words transmitted instantaneously.

Indeed, those within the star sea had yet to even register Yaoyao’s grandfather’s emergence, for the movements of Heaven-Reflecting realm experts were simply too swift.

To onlookers, everything unfolded like intertwining lightning bolts or flashing immortal radiance, all within less than a single breath.

"Scum! You hunted my son and killed my granddaughter, Yaoyao! You are all mere ants, deserving of death!" Yaoyao's grandfather bellowed, his soul vibrations terrifyingly potent.

Ahead, a cluster of planets instantly cracked open, then exploded!

This spectacle was sure to shake the entire universe!

As he opened his mouth, blood stained his pristine white teeth. Inside, half a body struggled desperately, its hands bracing against his teeth, trying to prevent them from closing.

At this moment, a supreme saint, observing from a distant location with his heavenly eye, witnessed the scene and simply could not believe his own eyes.

The Celestial God clan's titan, who was almost at the Heaven-Reflecting realm, was in such a wretched state. Now, on the verge of death, he struggled desperately, his hands bracing against teeth within another being’s mouth. What an unbelievable sight!

It's important to note that even saints can employ fragments of cosmic law, wield the power of order, tear through spacetime, and instantly escape from any location.

Yet, this formidable Celestial God clan expert could not escape. His hands were bloody, with exposed bone fragments, utterly unable to prevent the teeth from closing.

Furthermore, his body had already been torn into three pieces—partially a scaled beast, partially humanoid. Though he desperately tried to reform his human shape, it made no difference.

His divine soul howled, transmitting a desperate plea across the cosmos. He sought aid from his clan's ancient ancestor, for he was utterly spent.

As the teeth began to close, he furiously swung his fists, attempting to shatter Yaoyao’s grandfather’s teeth and punch through his mouth. Alas, all his efforts were futile and useless.

His fists, capable of piercing chaos and shattering starscapes, were utterly unable to even shake Yaoyao’s grandfather’s teeth or mouth.

Within this blood-soaked maw, various divine chains of order, woven from sacred patterns, intertwined to bind him. He was like a fish caught in a net, struggling without any hope of escape.

*Crunch!*

When Yaoyao’s grandfather’s mouth finally clamped shut, blood splattered once more, and the Celestial God clan’s rising divine being, a presence nearly god-like, shrieked in agony.

This spectacle was nothing short of torture!

It was a horrifying demonstration of being devoured alive, a sight so gruesome that it sent shivers down the spines of even the supreme saints.

At this moment, not only was the dying victim experiencing unimaginable terror, but the Netherworld clan giant facing him was also chilled to the bone. He retreated at extreme speed, having no thought of rescuing the Celestial God clan member.

In truth, all these events unfolded in a flash of lightning. The battle never ceased; everything was a continuous sequence as Yaoyao's grandfather continued to hunt down the terrifying Netherworld clan entity.

Within the solar system, individuals at the Golden Body level were completely unable to perceive what was happening, much less weaker evolvers. This was because the speed of Heaven-Reflecting realm experts vastly surpassed their thought processes and reaction times.

Not even a single breath had elapsed.

Only saints could perceive the events unfolding beyond the solar system.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Outside the solar system, the Netherworld clan giant crashed through one colossal star after another as he desperately retreated, his movement speed, measured by distance, undoubtedly far exceeding that of light.

Throughout this retreat, he constantly attempted to construct wormholes, hoping to use them to escape.

Yet, each time, Yaoyao’s grandfather violently smashed him out. And every time the Netherworld clan giant reappeared in the star sea, he triggered terrifying annihilation phenomena around him.

Countless planets were shattered by his collisions, and some stars exploded, transforming into blinding bursts of light!

A battle of this magnitude far surpassed anything people could imagine!

"What's happening?"

In the depths of the universe, experts from various clans were utterly stunned.

The Celestial God clan's ancient ancestor, who had already reached the Milky Way, was particularly shaken. He had received a distress signal from his clan's "rising star" and was so shocked that he could barely believe it.

In the star sea, Yaoyao’s grandfather caught up. Enveloped in an aura of Yang energy so dense it dimmed countless stars, he surpassed all obstacles and lunged forward.

He locked onto the Netherworld clan’s Heaven-Reflecting realm expert, unleashing a punch without reservation. His surging vital energy enveloped the sun, moon, and starry sky, boiling with raw power.

This entire segment of the universe trembled.

The Netherworld clan giant’s divine soul quivered. At this moment, how could he not be wary? He even had a grim premonition, for this god-demon-like entity was terrifyingly powerful. Its potent Yang energy incinerated his physical body, causing his soul to become unstable.

He was like a snowman encountering a man of fire, naturally suppressed.

Indeed, in this second clash, he let out a muffled groan as his arm, enveloped in Yang energy, actually began to melt and burn.

"You old scoundrel, weren't you dead?!" the Netherworld clan giant roared in fury. He had, of course, already deduced Yaoyao’s grandfather’s identity from his earlier words.

Yaoyao’s grandfather leaped, pouncing down. A cluster of divine light, formed entirely of mysterious symbols, locked onto the Netherworld clan giant’s arm and tore at it with immense force.

Blood splattered as the arm ripped apart. The Netherworld clan giant opened his mouth and spewed forth a torrent of chaotic energy towards Yaoyao’s grandfather. Within this chaos, a dark light coalesced, forming the Sword of the Underworld King!

The moment this sword appeared, the galaxy dimmed, and the stars quivered violently. Its overflowing sword energy was so potent that it pulverized nearby planets, creating an overwhelming aura of deadly intent.

However, Yaoyao’s grandfather simply let out a fierce roar, exhaling a surge of Yang energy from his mouth and nose. It was like an immortal mountain of dazzling, intensely blazing light, pressing forward relentlessly.

The Sword of the Underworld King, formed from dark light, instantly disintegrated, shattering into countless fragments. As the residual dark light dispersed, the starry sky was torn asunder, and some stars disintegrated, breaking into pieces.

And throughout this process, Yaoyao’s grandfather never paused. With a violent tear, Netherworld blood surged and splattered across the starscape like an overflowing river.

The Netherworld clan giant shrieked in agony as his entire right arm was ripped from his body, causing him excruciating pain. How many years had passed since he last sustained an injury? Yet today, he suffered such a devastating blow.

He wailed, emitting symbols of order from his mouth and nose. His divine soul roared, unleashing a storm of psychic energy that tore apart the starry sky!

But it was still futile; nothing changed. His right arm had been ripped off!

He retreated at extreme speed, knowing he had encountered a monster he couldn't defeat. Further entanglement would surely mean death; in fact, he now doubted if he could escape at all.

Yaoyao’s grandfather, exhibiting an inexplicable footwork, traversed the star sea, his entire body glowing, his long black fur swaying. Like an unrivaled demon lord, he arrived in an instant, his foot descending to stamp down on his foe.

"How dare you!"

The Netherworld clan giant roared, unleashing mental martial arts. Laws intertwined, forming a celestial cauldron, forged from the power of all the stars and guided by his psychic energy.

*Clang!*

The massive cauldron engulfed Yaoyao’s grandfather, and its lid clanged shut.

However, the very next moment, the massive cauldron exploded. Starry radiance surged, and countless meteors streaked across the sky as numerous celestial bodies fell. Yaoyao’s grandfather’s foot had completely pierced the Netherworld clan giant’s chest, leaving a bloody, gaping wound.

In that area, dark Netherworld mist churned and billowed.

The Netherworld clan’s terrifying Heaven-Reflecting realm existence was incandescent with rage. He sensed the direness of his situation and was filled with humiliation, being trampled upon with no ability to resist.

Yaoyao’s grandfather delivered a series of kicks from high above, striking his opponent repeatedly. He severely injured the Netherworld clan giant, sending him tumbling away to shatter several celestial bodies.

"My poor children!" At that moment, blood tears streamed from Yaoyao’s grandfather’s eyes, which shone brighter than the sun. He was fully conscious, recalling the ancient past: being trapped deep within the earth’s core, powerless to change fate, his offspring slain, his prodigal granddaughter fallen. All the grief and indignation that filled his heart erupted at this instant!

"Roar!"

He seemed to transcend the speed of light, bending time as he inexplicably appeared close, seizing the Netherworld clan giant.

All of this still unfolded in a mere instant, far beyond the perception and reaction of ordinary individuals. At this point, only saints could observe their battle; regular beings remained unaware.

The Netherworld clan giant struggled and resisted, black symbols emanating from his entire body. He unleashed the power of laws to strike Yaoyao’s grandfather, but astonishingly, he couldn’t harm him!

An indestructible aura of Yang energy formed around Yaoyao’s grandfather’s body, rendering him impervious to all attacks, his defensive power unmatched through the ages.

Simultaneously, Yaoyao’s grandfather’s fist, larger than a planet, smashed down, piercing through the Netherworld clan giant’s chest, breaking an unknown number of bones and leaving a bloody mess.

"Old ghost!" the Netherworld clan giant shrieked mentally, exerting every ounce of his being. Yet, he could not break free. Various lethal techniques and glowing runes continuously erupted from him, but none could budge his opponent.

Next, Yaoyao’s grandfather delivered another punch, forcing it into the opponent’s mouth. As teeth shattered and flew, the fist pierced straight through, emerging from above the Netherworld clan expert’s nape, leaving a clear passage.

The Netherworld clan giant was truly terrified this time, his soul roaring as he struggled with every fiber of his being. He unleashed all his techniques, but the critical point was his inability to harm his opponent. This demon-god-like entity was too terrifying, leaving him with an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

Especially now, trapped in his opponent’s grasp, he couldn’t escape.

His divine soul surged from his shattered skull, attempting to flee, but a boiling wave of Yang energy forcibly crushed it back, forcing it to reintegrate with his physical body.

In an instant, the Netherworld clan giant’s left arm was also torn from his body by Yaoyao’s grandfather.

It must be understood that each time his physical body was damaged, his divine soul also suffered a severe blow, for their current attacks directly targeted and destroyed the spiritual core.

Next, one of the Netherworld clan giant’s legs was deformed by a kick from Yaoyao’s grandfather, then snapped off. In agony, he arched backward, unleashing a storm of psychic energy as his soul roared in fury.

On Earth, before Purple Gold Mountain.

Chu Feng's expression changed, and he whispered, "This is bad!"

From the outset, the great battle in the cosmos had unfolded in mere instants, like intertwining lightning. But by this moment, it had already lasted longer than a single breath!

Chu Feng's face was etched with worry. He didn't know the exact situation of the battle deep in the cosmos, but the fact that Yaoyao's grandfather hadn't returned by the specified time sent a shiver down his spine!

At this moment, throughout the universe, only the supreme experts had realized that a monumental battle had erupted; ordinary beings remained oblivious.

However, there were indeed omens: platforms like Original Beast and Black Blood briefly went black. This was because the initial fierce clashes between Heaven-Reflecting realm experts directly shattered the nearby monitoring "heavenly eyes."

Fortunately, they had contingency plans; "heavenly eyes" were positioned at various cosmic coordinates and had simultaneous protection protocols.

When the major platforms were able to resume broadcasting, people were stunned by the fragmented images they saw. Subsequently, these platforms collaborated, integrating their individually captured footage.

Finally, people understood what had transpired!

Swallowing a quasi-Heaven-Reflecting realm Celestial God clan expert in one gulp? This was beyond myth, shaking the entire universe to its core!

The Netherworld clan giant, also torn to shreds?!

The entire universe shuddered in horror, and evolvers of all races could scarcely believe their eyes.

At that moment, in the star-filled sky, Yaoyao’s grandfather’s aura shifted. His eyes, once brilliantly golden, now glowed a terrifying crimson, boundless and dreadful, like two blood moons suspended high above.

Yet, the Netherworld clan’s Heaven-Reflecting realm expert still could not escape, unable to break free.

Furthermore, when Yaoyao’s grandfather reached out a hand, with a sickening *thud*, he pierced five finger-holes through the Netherworld clan giant’s skull, then with a loud *bang*, tore it clean off.

This expert of the Netherworld clan shrieked in agony. He had weathered many great storms, even participating in the siege on Yaoyao’s father that led to the demise of history’s youngest Heaven-Reflecting realm expert.

Now, he himself endured agonizing pain, on the brink of annihilation.

His divine soul suffered a devastating blow. The large, hairy hand, stained with blood, that had torn off his skull cap was now tearing at his very soul, intent on annihilating him.

"No!" he struggled, roaring into the depths of the universe, desperately sending a signal. He wanted to live; he did not want to die.

Suddenly, he sensed a presence and roared, "Great Celestial God, since you are here, why do you not act? Save me!"

On Earth, Chu Feng watched the slightly delayed feed on his optical computer, his heart leaping to his throat with intense nervousness. The allotted time had passed, yet Yaoyao’s grandfather remained in the starry sky, refusing to return!

In the star sea, a figure entirely composed of light slowly descended. Its colossal body caused the stars themselves to tremble, and its eyes glowed a brilliant golden, like two eternal, unsetting suns.

This was the ancient ancestor of the Celestial God clan, known as the Great Celestial God, whose power was unfathomable!

"My children, you may blame me..." At this moment, Yaoyao’s grandfather shed tears of blood, simultaneously emitting violent emotional fluctuations. He was losing control.

For the designated time had passed, yet he had not returned!

"I must avenge you all..." he roared skyward, his wild hair flying and blood dripping from his eyes. Then, he seized the Netherworld clan giant, wielding him like a one-legged bronze staff, and swung him around, charging directly toward the Great Celestial God.

"Kill!" Yaoyao’s grandfather roared, his cry imbued with boundless killing intent, unleashing all the regret and endless pain he had accumulated from ancient times until now. He was determined to slay the Great Celestial God.

Even if he was on the verge of complete self-destruction, he would still instinctively annihilate the executioner who had caused the death of his offspring.
