1218 Now... Its Just the Two of You! (1/2)

The Dark Qilin was like a doomsday monster. For the Nether Prison experts, it was simply a disaster when such a terrifying quasi-divine-beast joined the battle. None of them could stand up against its attack.

A Qilin was an auspicious sign and a divine beast. However, a Dark Qilin was a mutation of it. A quasi-divine-beast that represented death and slaughter, it lived in the Abyss and was an iconic expert of the place, just like Abyssal Demons.

When the Nether Prison invaded the Abyss, it wantonly massacred Abyssal Demons, and its supreme Great Saints even banished the Dark Qilin. Without the protection of the Dark Qilin and Abyssal Demons, the Abyss was like a turtle without its shell, unable to resist the Nether Prison's invasion. In the end, the whole of Abyss became a vassal of the Nether Prison.

Many years later, after the Great Judge and the Lord of Abyss City plotted for a long time and finally found the array that banished the Dark Qilin, they decided to use the array to summon the Dark Qilin back.

This was their confidence to stand up to the Nether Prison.

As the administrator of the law enforcers, the Great Judge naturally refused to be mediocre, unwilling that the Abyss was under the rule of the Nether Prison.

The Abyss was badly weakened in the past, but now, it had its own Great Saint and was strong enough to fight against the Nether Prison. Besides, today's Nether Prison was troubled by both internal strife and foreign aggression. Internally, the forbidden lands were stirring and kept posing threats to the nine clans, while externally, formidable powers such as the Earth Prison were waiting for the right time to strike.

After running wild in this part of the world for so long and domineering over the others for so many years, there had been many powers who wanted to stand up against the Nether Prison. It had received its warning when the old Nether King, Tian Cang, attacked it with his men.

The Nether Prison had mercilessly suppressed the Earth Prison, but lately, as it was troubled, its suppression was growing weaker. Therefore, the various powers had taken the opportunity to rise and rebel against its rule.

The Abyss also took the opportunity to rise. It wanted to break free of the Nether Prison's control and become completely independent again. Once the Abyssal Demons regained their freedom, they could gain more resources to strengthen themselves by plundering the territories and small worlds around them. In time, even if all the nine clans of the Nether Prison attacked the Abyss together, they would have the resources to defend themselves.

…

The Dark Qilin gave a roar. Dreadful energy waves poured out of its mouth, sweeping across the battlefield. The terrible blow ripped and killed numerous Nether Prison experts.

The Nether Prison army was constantly losing ground.

The Dark Qilin's body was huge. Although it was not as large as the warship, it still looked like a hill, so the ship cracked and shattered under the collision. A fire broke out across it, while experts flew out and tried to flee.

Suddenly, the sound of air tearing through rang out, and in the next instant, numerous Abyssal Demons drew closer, flapping their leathern wings.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Blood sprinkled down the void as the Abyssal demons ripped these Nether Prison experts apart, turning them into a mist of blood that spread out in the air. For a moment, the whole place turned into a slaughterhouse.

Even then, the remaining two warships began to slowly retreat. The Dark Qilin's appearance made the Nether Prison experts realize that they were losing the battle. Unless the three Great Saints were with them, they couldn't change the situation. However, those three mighty experts were now fighting with the Great Judge in the boundless starry sky.

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion echoed out from Abyss City. Immediately after that, a black dog wreathed in black Earth Prison Flame flew out of the city with one of its paws pressed against the face of a young man.

While the black dog continued flying, rumbling filled the air as the man was pushed against the ground, causing the ground to keep breaking. A wave of monstrous pressure permeated the air and attracted the attention of many people.

Boom!

The Dark Qilin landed on the ground, opened its mouth, and gave a roar. Its voice was deafening, stirring up blasts that towered into the sky as it rolled toward Lord Dog.

Lord Dog's body was slim and long now. His black hair under the raging black Earth Prison Flame was smooth, and his eyes were fiery scarlet. When he heard the Dark Qilin's roar, he abruptly raised his head, looked at it, and barked. His voice was so loud that it shook the skies and seemed to almost cause the ground to break apart.

The Dark Qilin immediately felt a wave of terrible pressure come slapping at its face. It shrank back and lay prone on the ground, not daring to move.

The Lord of Abyss City flew into a black rage, and a monstrous aura abruptly broke out of his body, pushing Lord Dog away from him. The next moment, his appearance began to change, becoming more and more terrifying and savage, and he gave a sharp whistle as if he wanted to shatter the world with it. Then, he shot up with a boom and landed on the Dark Qilin's head.

His dark golden eyes shone like torches as he stared at Lord Dog. A few moments later, he looked up at the flickering starry sky and said coldly, ”Dark Qilin... Help me pin this black dog here. When I come back, we will kill it together!” He gave the Dark Qilin a pat on the head, then flapped his leathern wings and shot into the starry sky in a black stream of light.

Up above, the three Great Saints of the Nether Prison were fighting with the Great Judge.

The Great Judge was alone, and his cultivation base wasn't much stronger than the three Nether Prison Great Saints. After fighting them for a while, he was already covered in blood, and the little world above his head was so blurred that it seemed to be dying. He had almost reached his limit.

Suddenly, the Lord of Abyss City came roaring up from below and joined the fight, turning the tide in a flash. He was no ordinary Great Saint, so the three Nether Prison Great Saints were simply no match for him. In a flash, they were defeated.

Sacred blood drifted in the void. A Great Saint was torn to pieces by the City Lord. Even his soul was destroyed, resulting in his death. Of the two remaining Great Saints, one was wounded and escaped, while the other was suppressed under the stars by the City Lord and was chained through the body.

Thus the battle between the Great Saints ended.
