Huang’er, who was dressed in a seven-colored robe, stood on the sword, looking incomparably majestic.

Huang’er in a seven-colored robe stood on the sword, looking incredibly glorious.

Meanwhile, the Yang Meng, Tan Jin, and the other two Nine Star Gods of War froze as a myriad of expressions flitted across their faces when they discovered they could not reach their respective Divine Elements, especially now that Huang’er stood in their way like an immovable mountain. Moreover, there were also Duan Ling Tian’s Five Divine Elements that were very strong as well.

“Duan Ling Tian!” Yang Meng said in a low voice, “If you’re willing to let me and my Chaos Divine Earth go, I swear that I will never be an enemy to you in this life. In the future, if I cross paths with you, I swear to retreat!”

“Duan Ling Tian, I’m willing to do the same,” Tan Jin hurriedly said.

Although Shou Huo and He Chun Li did not say anything, they were looking at Duan Ling Tian expectantly as well. If Duan Ling Tian agreed to Yang Meng and Tang Jin’s proposal, they would make the same promise. As long as they could leave with their Divine Elements, they would stay away from Duan Ling Tian, at least for now.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Yang Meng and Tan Jin as he tonelessly said, “It’s best if you make your move now. I have plotted so long to lure all of you here. Now that I have your Divine Elements, it’s impossible for me to give them up. If you want them back, you’ll have to get them back yourself. You better hurry up. I’m afraid you won’t be able to do anything but watch as my Five Divine Elements devour yours if you don’t act now.”

Duan Ling Tian’s words were like adding fuel to flames, stoking their anger. They glared at the indifferent Duan Ling Tian with eyes flashing with killing intent.

Duan Ling Tian did feel any sympathy for the four remaining Nine Stars Gods of War. After all, if he did not gain the upper hand, he would have died today. He doubted they would spare him if their roles were reversed.

“We might as well attack. We have to get back our Divine Elements even if we die trying. Otherwise, our future will be ruined,” He Chun Li said in a low voice.

Although losing their Divine Elements did not mean that they could no longer attain godhood, their chances of becoming Supreme Gods or even supreme powerhouses would be greatly reduced. How could they not feel devastated and unwilling?

He Chun Li, Shou Huo, Yang Meng, and Tan Jin were used to standing above others. How could they accept standing on equal grounds with others?

“Shou Huo, you and Yang Meng hold the artifact soul back while He Chun Li and I deal with Duan Ling Tian!” Tan Jin said in a low voice. His expression was extremely grim at this moment.

“Why must we hold that artifact spirit back?” Shou Huo asked in a deep voice, clearly dissatisfied. He had seen how terrifying Huang’er was so if it was possible, he did not want to deal with her.

“Shou Hou, I didn’t make that call on a whim. You have an army of beasts at your command, and Yang Meng has the best defenses among us. Among the four of us, both of you are the best equipped to go up against her,” Tan Jin explained in a clear manner, not surprised that Shou Huo had objections.

“Shou Huo,” Yang Meng said with a dark expression, “This isn’t the time to fight among ourselves. If we waste any more time, our Divine Elements are going to be completely devoured. I’m sure you don’t want that. Don’t worry. I’ll bear the brunt of her attacks. All you need to do is back me up when necessary.”

Shou Huo no longer voiced his objection after Yang Meng spoke. He exchanged a look with Yang Meng before they shot out with Yang Meng taking the lead toward Huang’er who stood firmly in their path.

As for Tan Jin and He Chun Li, one of them moved toward Duan Ling Tian while the other moved toward the Divine Elements.

There was no doubt the four Nine Stars Gods of War had made the right call. However, they failed to consider one factor: they were now in Duan Ling Tian’s Formation.

Duan Ling Tian had set up the Formation according to the World Cleansing Divine Water’s instructions.

The Formation needed to be powered by the Divine Elements; the Divine Elements would then become to the core of the Formation. In fact, the ones powering Duan Ling Tian’s Formation were not his Five Divine Elements, but the five Nine Stars Gods of War’s Divine Elements. As the core of the Formation, the Divine Elements would be in a sedated state as their energies were absorbed. This was the reason the Nine Stars Gods of War could not communicate with their Divine Elements.

To further ensure his success, Duan Ling Tian had used the vitality energy from the Pine Willow Divine Tree to boost his Five Divine Elements and also to keep the Nine Stars Gods of War’s Divine Elements in place.

In fact, it was the method to destroy the Formation was not complex. One only needed to destroy or damage the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s Godly Phenomenon. Although the way to destroy the Formation was not complex, it did not mean it was easy. After all, the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s Godly Phenomenon was now protected by the Nine Stars Gods of War’s Divine Elements. As the core of the Formation and the source of the Formation’s energy, they were inadvertently protecting the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s Godly Phenomenon as well.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

When Yang Meng, Shou Huo, and the army of beasts led by Shou Huo rushed toward Huang’er, seven-colored sword rays began to rain down on the duo in just a blink of an eye.

Yang Meng reacted quickly. A mustard energy burst forth from his body and formed a protective barrier around him immediately, keeping the seven-colored sword rays at bay.

Although the proactive barrier shook and looked as though it was going to shatter, it withstood Huang’er’s attack. This was not surprising. Yang Meng was a Nine Star God of War, after all. How could his comprehension of the law of earth be weak? Moreover, he had help from Tang Jin as well.

“You’re just an artifact soul. Watch as I destroy you!” Shou Huo cried out as flames erupted from his body. The flames were so violent and hot that they seemed capable of burning the sky down and boiling the boundless sea. His entire body that burned with the flames was truly a sight to behold.

Roar!

As soon as Shou Huo made a move, his beasts rushed out as well. Despite the fear flashing in their eyes, they did not hesitate as they advanced. Even when those at the frontline fell, the ones behind continued marching forward as though they did not see their comrades being slaughtered.

Yang Meng and Shou Huo were aware of how important it was for them to stall Huang’er so Tan Jin and He Chun Li would have a chance to retrieve their Divine Elements. Hence, they did not hold back at all when they made their moves. Although it would be best if they could destroy Huang’er, after their first exchange, they knew it would be impossible to do so. It would be difficult just to hold her back, let alone kill her.

At this moment, Yang Meng shouted, “Tan Jin, He Chun Li, hurry up! We won’t be able to last much longer!”

On the other hand, Tan Jin who glowed with a golden light looked intimidating as he shot toward Duan Ling Tian while He Chun Li flew toward their Divine Elements as fast as she possibly could.

“Tan Jin…” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the golden figure pouncing toward him.

Tan Jin, one of the strongest Nine Stars Gods of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield, comprehended the law of metal. This meant his offensive power was very strong. Hence, it was not surprising that Duan Ling Tian began to feel slight pressure when faced with such an opponent. Nevertheless, Duan Ling Tian did not panic. Instead, his fighting spirit soared even higher than before.

When Tan Jin, who was wielding a saber ray in his hand, drew close, Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air from where he stood before reappearing above Tan Jin.

Tan Jin reacted quickly as though he had eyes on top of his head. He stomped his feet and shot up into the air like a beam of golden light. Golden lightning bolts flashed around him as he charged out accompanied by the sound of thunderous explosions.

At this time, when it seemed like there would not be enough time for Duan Ling Tian to teleport away, Duan Ling Tian cried out, “Mastery Dao!”

After casting the Mastery Dao, Duan Ling Tian cast the Space Sword Dao and mobilized his spatial energy. Although he had temporarily lost his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, he still had other mediocre divine artifacts.

‘He has another divine artifact!’

Initially, Tan Jin did not think it would be difficult to defeat Duan Ling Tian since he had a divine artifact and Duan Ling Tian had lost the Seven Orifices Sword. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to possess another divine artifact even if it was one with an artifact soul.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sword rays formed from the spatial energy were lightning fast as they shot toward Tan Jin.

Tan Jin threw his right fist that was shrouded in a boxing glove. The energy from the law of earth flashed like golden lightning bolts as he punched out.

When the two energies collided, there was a brief moment of silence before the sound of an explosion rang in the air. The entire place seemed to darken for a moment before returning to normal.

Duan Ling Tian and Tan Jin who were standing at the center of the explosion had no choice but to retreat and put some distance between them.. Both of them looked slightly disheveled at this moment.
