Chapter 1278: All the Dark Devourer Devils Are Mine

The battle between the Imperial Nether Clan and Dark Devourer Clan stopped temporarily. To be safe, the Imperial Nether Clan had sent two other God Realm experts apart from Ming Cigeng for this mission. The two sealed the area, not allowing the Dark Devourer Clan to escape.

However, the Dark Devourer Clan was incredibly ruthless. They decided to collectively self-detonate. Coupled with their prior preparations, the dark devourer devils caused a terrifyingly powerful explosion. A large number of Imperial Nether Clan members despaired at the sight of the explosion. They were strong, but with the sheer amount of baleful blood poison that spread from the explosion, they couldn't escape.

Fortunately, the God Realm experts of the Imperial Nether Clan weren't pushovers. During the critical moment, they moved around and threw numerous Imperial Nether Clan members away. However, there were still some who had advanced too far and couldn't be saved in time. Among those who couldn't be saved in time were Xiang Shaoyun and several princes and princesses. They were the closest ones to the ground and couldn't escape the explosion in time.

"Damn the Dark Devourer Clan! We must exterminate them!" Ming Cigeng was furious.

He had thought that the Dark Devourer Clan survivors wouldn't be too strong, which was why he wasn't too worried about training the princes and princesses with this battle. However, the Dark Devourer Clan was well prepared, catching them by complete surprise with this explosion.

Of the 100 Imperial Nether Clan members that had participated in this mission, probably one-third of them had perished in the explosion. Several powerful dark devourer devils tore space apart and started escaping in all directions.

As Ming Cigeng and the two other God Realm experts were too busy saving their fellow clan members, they couldn't maintain the seal surrounding the area. This gave the dark devourer devils a chance to escape. Just as Ming Cigeng was about to give chase, some sort of power appeared and wrapped around the escaping dark devourer devils.

"All Dark Devourer Clan members deserve death!" A voice rang out.

Space was sealed yet again. The seal was so strong it did not seem possible that anyone could break free. Not far away, a sturdy figure appeared. It was an imposing Devil God. When he raised his palm and brought it down, it was as though the sky itself was collapsing. The palm struck a Devil God dark devourer devil, instantly slapping the devil into pieces.

From a different direction, a massive dragon appeared. With a single dragon's breath, an overbearing power crashed forth and destroyed everything in its path. The Undying Devil Clan and the Diabolic Dragon Clan had arrived.

With their addition, the Devil God dark devourer devils were completely trapped. As for those who had successfully escaped, they could only continue escaping and focus on protecting themselves.

"Kill all of them. Leave none of them alive," commanded the Undying Devil Clan expert.

"Eliminate all the dirty bastards," commanded the Diabolic Dragon Clan expert.

They were personally dealing with the strongest of the Dark Devourer Clan. Their juniors could handle the others. The Undying Devil Clan and the Diabolic Dragon Clan thus joined in on the extermination of the Dark Devourer Clan.

As for the Imperial Nether Clan, despite the considerable losses they had suffered, they couldn't shrink. They continued charging ahead bravely, not stopping until all the Dark Devourer Clan members were dead.

The Dark Devourer Clan was no easy opponent. They knew they wouldn't be able to escape death, so they fought without regard for their own lives. After all, their purpose was to die here, and they were ready to sacrifice themselves.

How about Xiang Shaoyun? Was he still alive? He had crashed into a mountain. He coughed up blood and looked incredibly sorry, but he was still breathing. He had only survived because he was wearing the Nether Soul Dragon Headband. If he had reacted even a tad bit slower, he would have died.

After having his blood changed and gaining his devil cultivation, his affinity with the Nether Soul Dragon Headband had reached 100 percent. He had learned that the headband could also warn him of incoming dangers. At the exact moment the Dark Devourer Clan members had self-detonated, the headband had throbbed, reminding him of the impending danger. He had immediately put the headband on and protected himself against the explosion.

The headband did not disappoint and proved its worth as the Imperial Nether Clan's treasure. It successfully protected him against the self-detonation of a God Realm expert. Nevertheless, Xiang Shaoyun had still suffered a grave injury. He was forced to start healing himself with his lightning liquid, which was the fastest way he could heal himself.

He had only killed one dark devourer devil thus far. He needed to kill four more to complete his mission. And without completing the mission, he would forever be stuck in the Imperial Nether Clan. While healing himself, his soul clone flew out with the Nether Soul Dragon Headband on its head and the chakram in its hand. It charged right into the chaotic battlefield.

"All the dark devourer devils are mine," like a madman, Xiang Shaoyun roared and charged a dark devourer devil surrounded by several opponents. He swung the chakram.

With his high mastery over the chakram and the advantage of a surprise attack, he was able to strike the devil's vitals with his chakram, instantly killing it. The surrounding Imperial Nether Clan members were speechless.

With great difficulty, they finally had a dark devourer devil trapped. Just as they were about to kill it, Xiang Shaoyun stole their prey. If it wasn't for the fact that he was their fellow clan member, they might have started cursing him.

After all, they also wanted to kill some dark devourer devils. Fortunately, there were still some dark devourer devils near them. There were enough targets for all of them. After killing his first target, Xiang Shaoyun focused on a different dark devourer devil. This new target was battling a diabolic dragon, but the diabolic dragon seemed incapable of substantially harming the dark devourer devil.

Without any hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun rushed over. Moving like a specter, he entered their battleground and swung his chakram. The chakram sliced through space and instantly reached the dark devourer devil. Xiang Shaoyun had thought that his attack would land, but his target avoided the attack with a surprising speed.

"Where did this human come from?" roared the diabolic dragon.

Xiang Shaoyun ignored the dragon. He used the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps, charged forth, mustered his strength, and sent a lightning bolt at the dark devourer devil.

"Die!" The dark devourer devil was a mid-stage Devil Saint, possessing an incredibly powerful strength. With a roar, his body spun. Numerous arrows formed of baleful blood poison appeared and shot toward Xiang Shaoyun and the surrounding dragons.

The dragons greatly feared the poison. They hurriedly retreated while trying to block the arrows with their energy barriers. Xiang Shaoyun was the only one that showed no fear as he slammed his foot down. Lightning wrapped around the descending leg and scattered the boundless poison. The foot slammed into the devil's head, causing his face to deform.

"Die!" The devil roared and transformed into a clump of oddly-shaped flesh, wrapping himself around Xiang Shaoyun.
