The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 994 - 390: Wheel of Deep Red, Descend!_2

"Quack! Danger!"

The GuaGua on his shoulder, as if facing the abyss, frantically grabbed Ye Hanjun’s clothes.

Mo, who was still playing the "stacking blocks" game, suddenly stopped searching for the flesh fragments of the Nine Deaths Cicada.

An odd halo undulated above its head, within which a strange pattern of light swayed.

Seeming real yet not, like a dream within an illusion, the White Crow appeared to have opened its eyes, peering into the mortal world from a space and time beyond others’ perception.

"Rip!"

The mysterious man—tore off his own face!

No! It wasn’t just a face but an entire membrane-like material covering the surface of his skin, which he completely stripped off, as thin as a piece of gauze.

Then—the human aura vanished completely!

The Corpse Race attendants, still unable to stand up under the pressure of the lightning, felt a different kind of horror.

At first, they couldn’t articulate it, merely feeling as if a huge divine presence loomed, the sky on the verge of shattering, disaster imminent.

In the end, as the oppressive force of lightning faded away, a boiling hot breath took over with overwhelming dominance, seizing the entire appraisal hall.

"The power of a god? Divine Enthronement in person?!"

"No, that’s not right... Divine Enthronement should be stronger, could this be Half-Step Deity, the peak of Supreme Holy Completion?!"

The saints with keen vision, showing panic, stumbled away in all directions.

They all tried to get away from that breath, farther, and farther away.

However, the instigator didn’t care about this. When his true body fully emerged, Ye Hanjun was taken aback, and both Huang Baishan and Mang Hao were so shocked they couldn’t close their mouths.

"Whoosh..."

The man who removed his peculiar disguise, possessed an incredibly strong humanoid body.

He wore no clothes, his dark blue skin revealing his non-human essence.

And his face—with a sharp chin and brow with no eyes, only on the bald head, a fierce and ugly eye gleamed.

At that moment, this eye targeted the great hall.

The nearby rocky earth instantly cracked, dense fissures spreading to every corner at terrifying Speed.

"Thud!!"

When the humanoid monster took a step forward, earth and heaven trembled as though a meteor had struck, no creature able to stand firmly.

"Rumble!!!"

An endless cloud of dust spread through the air. In the space devoid of natural life, the rocks turned to a red-hot color, harder than Ironstone.

Intense heat—began to corrode flesh and skin, bringing the destruction of fate!

Ye Hanjun felt as if he had fallen into a pool of magma. Unprecedented high temperatures rapidly penetrated his internal organs, in an instant causing him to sweat profusely and become dizzy.

Suddenly, his heart felt pressured, his soul shaken, inside and out a tangled mess. On the brink of death, he felt suffocated, his desire to survive awakened to its utmost.

"Crackle and Pop!!!"

The Sword Thunder Child in his hand burst forth with golden light, and a bolt of lightning struck out toward the humanoid monster’s eye.

For a moment, Ye Hanjun felt some relief, as if he were about to escape the agony of drowning.

But then a scene that made his eyes almost burst appeared: the monster—simply raised an arm casually in front of itself.

As the lightning struck down, accompanied by blinding arcs and deafening thunder, only a very faint mark was left on its dark blue skin.

Beyond that, the skin’s defenses weren’t even broken, with no sign of flowing blood.

"Hanba! That’s a pure-blooded Hanba! Just one Divinity away from proving the Divine Enthronement of the strongest Hanba!"

"What in the world is going on? Why would the ruler of the Solar Abyss invade the West Sea, and moreover, conceal himself among us in human form?!"

Nie Qiubai shouted, his mind in utter chaos.

Guan Cunyan activated every life-saving artifact he had on him in quick succession.

Ling Yu and Ling Shi, the brother and sister, huddled in a corner, sweating profusely.

They pounded on the suddenly appeared Wheel of Deep Red barrier, but despite all their effort, they could not escape.

"Great Half-Step Deity, it’s beneath you to intrude here,"

"If you have any needs, any thoughts, we can negotiate. Why would we neglect you..."

Elder Yang took a deep breath, bowed solemnly, and earnestly pleaded.

Yet the Hanba, the center of everyone’s attention, didn’t respond. With a claw, it tore open the void behind itself, a flash of light, and a Wheel of Deep Red began to spin.

In an instant, holy corpses emitted desperate screams, their souls extinguished in a fraction of a second.

Waves of Deep Red energy continued to sweep through the appraisal hall, the super high temperatures of an ancient sun boiling everything above and below, delivering the verdict upon life.

"Swoosh—swoosh swoosh!!!"

After five breaths, the light of Deep Red suddenly ceased.

The scorching temperature quickly dropped.

Guan Cunyan, Huang Baishan, Ling Shi, Ling Yu...struggled to crawl out of the lava ruins, looking around everywhere, but there was no trace of the Hanba to be found.

"It’s gone again? What the heck?!"

Yishuo, with his hair burnt off, stood on tiptoes, eyes bulging, still unable to believe what he had seen, exclaiming in total confusion:

"The Corpse Dragon Maiden is also missing... and Mang Hao, and the grey... and their entourage..."

"Good God, what kind of bad luck is this? How did we get into such a mess?!"

"Quick! Send someone to the Xuanwu Palace, inform Emperor Hei Xuanwu right away, we have an intruder!"

"Wait!"

Ling Yu flashed over, pressing a hand on Yishuo’s shoulder:

"If I sensed it right just now, there was a fleeting distortion in space!"

"The Corpse Dragon Maiden and the others must have been taken away by the Hanba, but it spared our lives, don’t act rashly yet, calm down!"

"Calm...calm down? You’re telling me to calm down?"
