System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

175: Blood-robed pursuers, divine iron protects its master.”Those who steal the sacred object... die!”

That hoarse, cold voice was like a verdict from the Nine Nether Hell, descending with the unique rule-based pressure of the Tiangang Realm!

Before the Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member’s figure had fully solidified, a giant ghost claw, condensed from pure death rules and bloody Demonic Astral Power, had already torn through the Void Realm.

With a shrill, ghostly wail, it clawed down directly at Ye Chen!

Where the claw wind passed, even the dark red sky seemed to be stained with a layer of blood!

Fast! Ruthless! Accurate!

The power of this claw far exceeded the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Finger of the White Bone Demon General from before.

The death intent contained within was purer and more domineering, as if representing some kind of ultimate demise!

Ye Chen’s hair stood on end; the intense crisis of death caused his heart to almost stop beating!

Facing this angry strike from the Tiangang Realm, he had no time to ponder why this Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member had suddenly appeared.

All his survival instincts erupted at this moment!

Can’t dodge! Can’t block!

The only hope lay in the primal dark god iron he had just collected!

”Come out!”

Ye Chen roared in his heart.

The chaos ancestral talisman within his Qi Sea erupted with unprecedented light, forcibly driving the primal dark god iron that was floating to the side, not yet fully refined!

”Hum—!!!”

The fist-sized primal dark god iron suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chen, the dark gold patterns on its surface flowing crazily at an unprecedented speed!

It seemed to be angered by the terrifying attack from the outside, or perhaps stirred by the power of the chaos ancestral talisman.

A heavy, devouring intent, as if capable of suppressing the heavens and the myriad worlds and making all laws submit, erupted!

There was no dazzling brilliance, only an extreme ”darkness” and ”heaviness”!

The space around the divine iron seemed to solidify into substance; light twisted, and energy stagnated!

The ghost claw, condensed from death and bloody rules, upon touching the space enveloped by the divine iron’s force field, actually fell into a boundless, deep mire!

The claw’s speed plummeted, and the terrifying rule power contained within it, as if meeting its nemesis, was crazily torn and absorbed by that ”devouring” characteristic!

”Chi chi chi...”

The ghost claw became dim and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally completely collapsing and annihilating less than three feet from Ye Chen’s forehead, turning into pure energy and being completely devoured by the primal dark god iron!

Blocked?!

Even Ye Chen himself felt it was unbelievable!

This primal dark god iron was indeed miraculous, actually able to withstand a rule-based attack from the Tiangang Realm!

Although this was largely because the divine iron’s material was Heaven-Defying and the opponent’s attack was from a distance rather than a full-power strike from the main body, it was enough to prove its terror!

However, driving the divine iron to block this strike was also a huge drain on Ye Chen!

He felt that more than half of the Chaos Gang Qi in his Qi Sea had been instantly drained, and his Divine Soul also sent waves of weakness!

This divine iron was simply a bottomless pit!

”Eh? It is actually the ’primal dark god iron’?! No wonder it could block this seat’s strike!”

The Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member let out a sound of surprise, the scarlet gaze under its hood becoming even more heated and greedy.

”A mere Earth Fiend Realm ant, what right do you have to possess such a sacred object! Hand over the divine iron, and I will leave your corpse intact!”

It clearly recognized the Origin of the primal dark god iron, its killing intent growing stronger, and at the same time, it became more cautious.

It no longer attacked from a distance, its figure completely solidifying.

Taking a step, it seemed to shrink the earth into an inch, instantly crossing a distance of several hundred zhang.

A withered bone palm, wreathed in blood light and Death Qi, grabbed directly at the divine iron in Ye Chen’s hand!

The speed was to the extreme!

It wanted to seize it personally!

Ye Chen’s face turned pale; he had no time to make any reaction, only able to watch as that palm of death grabbed over!

He could even smell the thick, bloody, and decaying aura brought by the palm wind!

Just at this critical moment—

The primal dark god iron acted on its own again!

It seemed to extremely loathe the aura of the Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member.

The dark gold patterns on its surface suddenly brightened, and a more terrifying devouring power erupted.

The target was not the grabbing bone palm, but... the remaining Chaos Gang Qi in Ye Chen’s body, as well as a trace of Origin power emitted by the chaos ancestral talisman!

”Boom!”

Ye Chen only felt everything go black before his eyes, almost fainting directly!

He felt as if he had been sucked dry into a dried corpse in an instant!

All his Protective Aura, and even part of his life essence, were forcibly plundered away by the divine iron!

And having obtained the replenishment of this power, the primal dark god iron suddenly erupted with pitch-black light, its volume instantly expanding to the size of a millstone!

It no longer floated, but like an angered monarch, carrying a domineering will that suppressed everything, it actively crashed fiercely toward the bloody bone palm that was grabbing over!

”Bang—!!!!!”

An indescribable loud noise exploded on the battlefield!

It was as if two stars collided!

The pitch-black divine iron and the bloody bone palm collided fiercely!

No energy shockwave spread; all power seemed to have been absorbed by the divine iron’s ”devouring” characteristic!

But the space at the center of the collision cracked inch by inch like a mirror, revealing the chaotic Void Realm turbulence behind it!

”Crack!”

A clear, teeth-aching sound of bone cracking rang out!

The Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member let out a muffled groan of pain and disbelief.

Its entire right arm that was reaching for the divine iron, along with that bloody bone palm, broke and crumbled inch by inch the moment it touched the divine iron, just like fragile porcelain!

Finally, it turned into a sky full of blood mist and bone powder, unceremoniously devoured by the divine iron!

It stumbled backward, its hood knocked off, revealing a pale face covered in strange black patterns, now written with horror and resentment!

”Impossible!!”

It roared hoarsely, blood light surging at the severed arm as it attempted to regenerate, but a pitch-black, extremely heavy intent lingered at the wound, constantly eroding its vitality and Demonic Astral Power, making the regeneration process extremely slow and difficult!

After one strike, the primal dark god iron’s light faded rapidly, and its volume shrank back to the size of a fist.

As if exhausted of power, it became somewhat withered and slowly flew back into Ye Chen’s Qi Sea, quietly floating beside the chaos ancestral talisman, no longer moving.

And Ye Chen, after paying the price of having almost all his power sucked dry, finally won this chance to breathe!

He did not dare to hesitate in the slightest, not even having time to glance at the injured Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member.

Using his last strength, he burned a trace of his life essence blood, unleashed the Chaos Limitless Steps, and his figure turned into an almost transparent blood shadow, fleeing desperately in the direction opposite to the Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member, deeper into the battlefield!

He was now weak to the extreme, even swaying while trying to maintain flight, but he knew that stopping meant death!

”Ah!! Ant! This seat will extract your soul and refine your spirit, tormenting you for eternity!!”

Behind him came the Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member’s roar of extreme fury, and a more terrifying bloody Demonic Astral Power that seemed to want to burn the firmament was gathering!

Although it had lost an arm and suffered not-insignificant injuries, its Tiangang Realm strength was still far superior to Ye Chen’s!

Ye Chen could even feel that cold killing intent, like a maggot on a tarsal bone, tightly locking onto his back and approaching rapidly!

He gritted his teeth, ignoring the tearing pain coming from his Meridians, crazily squeezing every bit of potential from his body, raising his speed to the limit.

He did not dare to fly in a straight line, but constantly weaved and changed directions between those giant god-demon corpses and broken weapons, using the complex terrain to delay time.

However, the gap in strength was too great!

In just a few breaths, that bloody Demonic Astral Power had already chased to his back!

”Blood Sea Buries Soul!”

The Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member’s cold voice rang out, and a vast phantom of a bloody ocean, as if descending from another dimension, enveloped an area of several thousand zhang!

Inside the blood sea, countless resentful souls struggled and roared, emitting a terrifying power that eroded the Physical Body and defiled the Divine Soul, wanting to completely drown and refine Ye Chen!

No way to avoid it!

A trace of despair flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

He had already exhausted all his means and was at the end of his rope; was he really going to fall here?

Just at this critical moment—

Not far in front of him, a huge corpse crawling on the ground, shaped like a Xuanwu but with a turtle shell covered in countless sharp bone spurs, seemed to be stirred by the power of that blood sea, and its giant mouth, which had been closed for countless years, suddenly opened!

”Roar—!!!”

It was not a sound, but an invisible, majestic will containing the ultimate ”heaviness,” ”defense,” and ”counter-damage” rules, like a volcano that had slept for eternity, erupting!

This will was not aimed at Ye Chen, but crashed straight into the phantom of the blood sea that was enveloping him!

”Boom—!!!”

Two powerful rule forces collided fiercely!

The blood sea churned, resentful souls wailed, but that heavy defensive will was like an eternal reef, unmoved, and even forcibly rebounded the power of the blood sea!

The Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member let out a muffled groan; it clearly hadn’t expected this long-dead corpse to be able to erupt with such power, and its offensive momentum could not help but stagnate.

As for Ye Chen, he was sent flying fiercely by the aftermath of the collision between these two forces, like a fallen leaf in a gale, falling towards the direction of the giant mouth opened by the Xuanwu corpse!

He only felt the world spinning, and the last thing that entered his vision was that bottomless dark giant mouth, which seemed to lead to another world, and the Blood-Robed Demon Clan Member’s face, which was filled with shock and anger...

Immediately, his consciousness completely plunged into darkness.
