Chapter 1020: The Faux Nine-Tailed Divine Fox

“My son… I’ll kill you all!

“I’ll kill all of you to avenge my son!”

The Eight-Tailed Divine Fox’s aura became even more devastatingly fearsome, and a semi-transparent ninth tail began to appear as an extremely terrifying ferocious might erupted from his body.

His grief had even affected the world around him.

The light in the sky quickly dimmed as the light of the sun was engulfed by the power of death.

Amid those eight huge tails, sections of substantial white bone appeared within the semi-transparent ninth tail. Just the very sight of that tail gave onlookers a sense of asphyxiation.

An Lin’s heart thumped in his chest. He felt like facing Chen Hao now was like facing the suffocating power of the Dark Night Monarch.

Bam!

A violent boom erupted, and the Large Water Ball was swatted into the air by the Eight-Tailed Divine Fox.

No… This was the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox… or a faux Nine-Tailed Divine Fox.

An Lin put away the Large Water Ball. It no longer had any effect on Chen Hao.

“Why do enemies nowadays have so many trump cards…” His lips twitched.

Chen Hao turned to An Lin with his crimson eyes, and his claws converged slightly, as if he was preparing to tear his prey apart. A sense of terrifying sharpness erupted from his claws as the air around him began to tremor.

Chen Hao’s aura had become more ethereal and vast with the appearance of his ninth tail. He had already reached the very pinnacle of the Return to Void Stage, and it felt as if there was only a thin layer of paper between him and the Dao Integration Stage.

An Lin was getting quite tense.

Chen Hao had to pay a heavy price to elevate his power so explosively. However, that wasn’t something An Lin needed to be concerned about. All he had to think about was how he was going to survive.

His life was so precious! He couldn’t allow himself to be taken down by Chen Hao, even if Chen Hao was going to die from unleashing this mystic technique!

At the same time, on another battlefield.

Bai Ling was engaged in an earth-shattering battle with the crimson mermaid wielding the twin spears.

The crimson mermaid mighty figure had another wound inflicted upon him by Bai Ling’s spatial slicing technique.

He hurtled back in retreat while Bai Ling stepped lightly through the air before sealing the blood of this mermaid mighty figure into a bottle.

The mermaid mighty figure almost threw up a mouthful of blood upon seeing this. His scales, his blood, his hair, all of them had been collected by that woman! This wasn’t a battle; this was him being sliced into sashimi for Bai Ling’s research purposes!

Too terrifying, this woman was way too terrifying…

Chills ran down the mermaid mighty figure’s spine as the woman unleashed relentless attacks upon him while wearing a gentle and soft expression the entire time. When had a Return to Void Final Stage Spirit Fish Clan mighty figure like him ever been humiliated like this?!

Right at this moment.

A certain super mighty figure of the West Sea issued a command directly into his mind.

The mermaid mighty figure faltered initially, before a flash of joy from being able to flee the scene appeared on his face.

“Retreat!”

He roared as he led the charge by fleeing into the distance.

This place was too terrifying. He didn’t want to stay here for another second!

Bai Ling looked on as the Spirit Fish Clan mighty figure fled into the distance, and she couldn’t be bothered to give chase.

Both of them were Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures, so killing her opponent would be quite a difficult task.

She surveyed the little vial of blood in her hand with a content smile. “Screw it. I’ve already got what I need.”

Elsewhere, Hong Lin, who had split himself into three, had been brutally beaten and also commenced his retreat. In the process, he was even forced to use two life-saving treasures.

The other Spirit Fish Clan cultivators also began to flee, and they did not appear to be in a good mood.

The Four Nine Immortal Sect and White Fox Tribe cultivators were ecstatic upon seeing this.

Pain for their enemies was a joy for them!

It was clear to see that their plan had failed. Although no one knew how it had failed.

The Black Fox Tribe began to panic at the sight of the Spirit Fish Clan’s retreat.

Without their allies here to fight with them, they were going to be completely decimated by their enemies!

The Black Fox Tribe mighty figures weren’t idiots. They knew that they would lose if the battle continued like this, so they also began to flee. Thus, all of the enemy forces began to fall back and run for their lives.

“Don’t let them get away, woof!” Da Bai gave chase elatedly.

Atop the summit of a certain mountain over fifty kilometers away.

Tang Ximen stood with his white robes flapping around him in the wind as a sense of pride welled up in his heart at the sight of the fleeing enemies.

Right at this moment, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly engulfed heaven and earth.

“Howl…”

A heart-wrenching howl erupted in the distance, directly striking into everyone’s mind.

Bai Muyu, Qing Beichen, Bai Ling, and Yue Dou all turned their eyes toward a certain direction in unison. There, heaven and earth had been transformed into a vast expanse of darkness that seemed to have engulfed everything within. Not even the light of the sun was able to pierce through the darkness.

Within the suffocating darkness, one could faintly discern the outlines of nine massive tails.

Qing Beichen’s expression shifted drastically. “Nine-Tailed Divine Fox?!”

“No… This is a faux Nine-Tailed Divine Fox form that was forcefully attained through the use of a mystic technique.” Bai Muyu refuted Qing Beichen’s statement, but her expression did not lighten up in the slightest. Instead, it became even more grave.

It was quite clear that to them, even a faux Nine-Tailed Divine Fox was very terrifying!

“An Lin is in danger!”

Bai Ling suddenly exclaimed before hurtling toward the domain of darkness.

All of the other Four Nine Immortal Sect mighty figures also flew toward the scene.

Su Qianyun, Da Bai, Xiao Hong, and Liu Qianhuan wanted to follow suit, but they were held back by Xuanyuan Cheng.

“The enemy is too powerful, let’s stay here so that we don’t weigh anyone down.” Even though Xuanyuan Cheng was quite reluctant to admit it, the power emanating from that domain of darkness was simply not something he could contend with.

Qing Beichen and Yue Dou hesitated momentarily before flying toward the domain unleashed by the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox. However, they issued a command for all of their subordinates to stay put.

In the face of such a fearsome foe, even Return to Void Stage mighty figures could easily fall.

“Should we go, Xiaolan?” Xue Zhantian trembled in fear as he stared at the unfathomably terrifying domain in the distance, and he was so fearful that he had even forgotten to speak in idioms.

A faint smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face. “No. If we go there, we’re only going to make An Lin worry.”

They were a duo consisting of one rookie Return to Void Stage mighty figure and a cultivator who wasn’t even at the Return to Void Stage yet. They wouldn’t be able to do anything even if they rushed to the scene.

Xu Xiaolan stared at the vast expanse of darkness in the distance with a sense of firm conviction on her face. “I believe that An Lin will return safely. An opponent below the Dao Integration Stage is no match for him!”

Xue Zhantian turned to look up at Xu Xiaolan’s exquisitely beautiful features, and he could tell from the unbridled confidence on her face that she was not just saying that to console herself. She was serious!

At this moment, An Lin looked around at the inky darkness around him, and he knew that he couldn’t delay any further.

The Nine-Tailed Divine Fox looked up with a pair of crimson eyes straight from the depths of hell. His nine tails turned into the darkest shade of black imaginable before converging upon An Lin and the others.

“Go, Gundam Three, Yao Ji!” An Lin immediately issued a command.

Gundam Three spread open his arms, and a purple gravitational force field proliferated forth for several kilometers in order to restrain the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox’s movements.

Yao Ji spread its pink wings of light before stepping and disappearing from the spot. In the next instant, it had appeared before the Nine-Tailed Divine Fox and slashed toward him with its purple particle sword!

Whoosh…

Time suddenly seemed to have stopped.

Gundam Three and Yao Ji were both completely immobilized by some sort of unfathomable power.

Boom!

A loud bang erupted.

Yao Ji’s chest was punctured by a white bone spike that had seemingly shot forth from nowhere!
