When the forces of the Daluo Territory entered the Thunder Magic Sect’s territory, they were surprised to not be met with a counterattack. Also a surprise, was the fact that the cities along the way had lifted all of their defenses.
This unusual situation was also puzzling to both Nine Nether and Mu Chen. However, they soon realized that the Thunder Magic Sect was not retreating out of fear, but were contracting all of their forces, so that they could then converge them to create explosive power at critical moments, just like a thunderstorm!
“Looks like they intend to have the final battle with us at the foot of Thunder Magic Mountain.” Nine Nether smiled nonchalantly, with no trace of fear in her eyes. She waved her hand gently, signaling the troops to continue advancing.
After half a day, the speed of the army’s advance finally slowed down, because the plain ahead was beginning to come to an end. What lay ahead was only a dark sky, the mountains, and the rumbles of thunder that constantly resounded in the air.
The thunder did not come from the sky, but from the depths of the earth. As it rumbled, it caused the earth to shake constantly.
A towering black mountain stood like a giant in front of it. The dark hill had such strength, it seemed to be indestructible.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Behind where the Nine Nether Troop stood quietly, vast light and shadows swept in, forming the shape of a fan and fencing in the area. These were the vassal forces of the Daluo Territory.
Mu Chen stood before the Nine Nether Troop, his eyes squinting at the massive mountain. Although there was a violent thunderous force permeating the world, he could sense faintly that there were also countless powerful spiritual energy fluctuations present. After all, this was the headquarters of the Thunder Magic Sect!
Nine Nether lifted her gaze, as her crisp, cold voice rang out. “Since you have already hidden for so long, I think there’s no point of you continuing to hide!”
“Haha, Lord Nine Nether is worthy indeed, and truly a heroine.”
Just as Nine Nether finished speaking, there was a loud rumble of thunder that reverberated in the heavens and the earth, accompanied by a sudden burst of bright thunder sparks that exploded in Thunder Magic Mountain.
Thunder poured down. Finally, in the dazzling light, countless silhouettes flashed out from mid-air. The previously suppressed spiritual energy fluctuations burst out in a barrage, causing even the heaven and the earth to dim in comparison.
More than half of the figures in the sky were incongruous with the Thunder Magic Sect. Thus, it was clearly apparent that they were not members of the sect. Looking at the scene, the Thunder Magic Sect and Nine Nether had thought of similar strategies.
As Nine Nether was gathering other vassal forces to encircle and annihilate the Thunder Magic Sect, the Thunder Magic Sect was also gathering other forces to deal a fatal blow towards Nine Nether Palace! In the battlefield in the southwest arena, seven out of the ten forces had converged here, making for a line-up that is enough to start a massive scale war!
Mu Chen looked towards the center, where the power of thunder and lightning raged the most violently in heaven and earth, only to see a figure hovering in mid-air amid the sparks of lightning and thunder. He was a burly, armored man. His arms were folded around his chest, and the entire space surrounding him was shimmering with gray and black thunder, accompanied by a strong sense of oppression, which permeated and enveloped the heavens and the earth.
The figure was none other than the Clan Leader, Qin Tiangang! Who else would possess this magnitude of power?!
Many among the Daluo Territory forces were unsettled to see this massive figure, who so closely resembled a demon god! After all, the reputation of the Thunder Magic Sect’s Qin Tiangang was quite renowned! In fact, to some extent, it had even surpassed that of Nine Nether.
“I have long heard that Lord Nine Nether was beautiful. Now that I have seen you today, you are certainly worthy of your reputation. However, battles are done by men, and with such a pretty face as yours, I couldn’t bear to lay a hand on you.” Qin Tiangang gazed at Nine Nether, as his boisterous laughter rumbled like thunder.
Upon hearing his words, Nine Nether smiled faintly, before stepping forward slowly. With every step, a crisp cry rang in the air and terrifying waves of spiritual energy permeated the heavens and the earth.
Then, the sky behind her transformed into a massive obsidian black sparrow. The clear and crisp cry rang out again, causing Qin Tiangang’s oppressive aura to dissipate.
“Nine Netherworld Bird?”
Countless gazes were directed towards the massive obsidian black sparrow. Although many knew that Nine Nether was a member of the Nine Netherbird Clan, they were not aware that she had successfully evolved into the form of a divine beast!
Qin Tiangang’s pupils contracted at the sight of the huge obsidian sparrow, his expression turning solemn. He had greatly underestimated this woman!
Nine Nether was only a Fourth Grade Sovereign, and even with the power of the Divine Beast, a Fifth Grade Sovereign would still find such a feat difficult to tackle!
“Lord Nine Nether, do you intend to clash head-on with the Thunder Magic Sect?” Qin Tiangang asked gravely. “You should know that this battle would not give you many benefits. Also, even if we clashed, there are many more targets better than us.”
“Why? Are you afraid now?” Nine Nether smiled mockingly. “If you don’t want to fight, just surrender Thunder Magic Mountain, then I will let you leave.”
