From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

The island had long been fragmented due to the prior battle between Jiang Ling and Xia Mo. Now, under the crushing weight of the eight-headed snake, chunks of the island rapidly split apart, tumbling into the sea from the edges.

"Roar!"

The black eight-headed snake that arrived at the island began to bellow towards the sky. Since its head had been chopped off, this was the closest it had been to its own head so far.

The massive black body released thousands of black lines that weaved through the crumbling island, searching for its ninth head.

In the sky, the human army continued to bombard it with extremely powerful cultivation techniques, while the Commander-in-Chief with the Security Team on the island tried to block thousands of black lines from entering, but all seemed to be in vain. This Void Beast was too strong; the human race had never faced such a formidable enemy before.

Having rushed to the island with troops, Bai Chaojin, observed the giant black body at the edge, his already pale complexion grew even paler.

"Has this thing... evolved?"

The pressure emanating from the black eight-headed snake instinctively made him feel despair. This black giant snake used to be a nine-headed golden python, and although he led his soldiers to drive it away back then with heavy losses, the scene was never as tragic as it was today.

This overwhelming group of Void Beasts, the black light that could destroy an island at any moment—how could this compare to the ninth-order Void Beast he faced those years ago? This black eight-headed snake must have already broken through the ninth order!

Hum—

Over a hundred black light beams swept over Central Island like thunderbolts, and the already shattered islet completely disintegrated, sinking into the ocean.

A general who followed Bai Chaojin was completely stunned by the sight.

Before leaving the island, he thought that this crisis might be comparable to the great battle that happened over a decade ago, but he never imagined that it would completely overturn his past battlefield experiences.

Bai Chaojin, looking back at a group of petrified soldiers, gritted his teeth and roared, "Over a decade ago we were able to chase it away by cutting it! Why not do it again!"

Morale was very important at this time!

And as the only commander who had reached the frontline, Bai Chaojin had to lead by example.

Having said that, Bai Chaojin himself was the first to charge into the Void Beast Group. They were positioned on the outskirts. If they wanted to approach the black eight-headed snake, they had to break through the encircling beasts.

Seeing the commander charging in, the soldiers immediately followed on either side, drawing their weapons, resolved to carve a path towards the black eight-headed snake.

As the Central Area soldiers joined the battlefield, the beasts on the periphery instantly scattered, but in the middle-level war zone, humans still remained at a severe disadvantage.

He saw that hundreds of formations had already shattered terribly, and the array masters were nearly crushed to death amidst the beast horde, with no room to catch their breath.

A massive number of beasts from the middle-level war zone began to flood into the central area, and for a time, most of the soldiers who had been bombarding the Black Eight-headed Snake had no choice but to give up their attack on the serpent and defend against the horde charging in from behind.

In the spot where Mu Huanqing stood, countless practitioners had already died, leaving only a sea strewn with numerous corpses and the surface of the water dyed red with blood.

Her own body was also covered in fresh blood, and her Life Spirit behind her was no longer as pure as before, continuously revolving in the sky, but now it was covered with chunks of the corpses of Void beasts, its white light obscured by the blood.

The strongest formation she could use had just shattered, causing even her, seasoned from countless battles, to panic inside. That was a formation comparable to the Central Area\'s Anti-Void Array, yet it didn\'t last two hours before breaking apart...

She had never seen any Void beast capable of breaking the Anti-Void Array, but the Black Snake had done it with ease, just how strong was this monster...

In a flurry of desperation, Mu Huanqing could only lead her Hundred Martial Divine Weapons into close combat.

The True Qi consumed in condensing out a formation was far too immense, she was unable to bring forth the blue Large Formation again in a short time, and now her ability in close combat was uncertain; it was hard to say if she could even reach the giant snake\'s head, especially as it was protected by many other beasts and surrounded by numerous black lines of defense, difficult to break through.

As the large number of beasts poured in, the human central battlefield\'s strength began to diminish significantly, and although they were initially able to limit certain actions of the Black Eight-headed Snake with the formations of the surrounding array masters, now those smaller formations had also been crushed by the horde, and the Black Eight-headed Snake, as if breaking free from its chains, became even more ferocious with its pitch-black energy.

The eight heads of the snake sprouted even more black light strips, half of which extended into the seabed, sweeping back and forth among the fragments of Central Island, while the other half continuously attacked the surrounding human practitioners.

Seeing this scene, Bai Chaojin, who had led the team deep into the beast horde, grew panicked.

"Quickly, get it under control! The creature is searching for its head!"

With a roar, Bai Chaojin rushed even more swiftly toward the central battlefield, well aware that if they allowed the snake to restore its nine heads, the human race would pay an even more tragic price in this war.

Upon hearing Bai Chaojin\'s command, countless human practitioners abandoned their momentary defenses and began to focus fire on the black light spewing from the sea bed by the Black Eight-headed Snake.

Thunderous booms resonated, and the force of the impact hurled seawater into the sky.

The concentrated attack momentarily shattered many of the light rays that the Black Eight-headed Snake was using in its search for its head, but due to the temporary abandonment of their defenses, the human ranks suffered thousands of casualties.

Just as they were about to break all the light rays extended by the eight-headed snake into the sea, suddenly, the eight heads began spewing a thick mystical fog, which expanded continuously until it enveloped the black light rays it had extended.

As the mystical fog wrapped around, the human practitioners\' attacks were significantly weakened in an instant, and the black light rays that had just been broken off started growing back from the serpent\'s body, continuing to stretch into the seabed, searching for the head it had lost decades before.

"What kind of energy is this? All kinds of cultivation techniques weaken when they pass through this fog!" a General gritted out in hatred.

"If this fog isn\'t dispersed, I fear it will be very hard to injure this creature!"

"Disperse? How to disperse? Even light attributed cultivation techniques are ineffective against this thing!" shouted a practitioner.

"Light and darkness counter each other, how can it be ineffective? Unless the light attributed cultivation technique isn\'t strong enough! We need a stronger practitioner with a Light Attributed Spiritual Root to handle this!"

"A strong enough Light Attributed Spiritual Root... That only leaves the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Yes! Wasn\'t it said that the Commander-in-Chief had already emerged from seclusion?"

"The Commander-in-Chief did come out, but that despicable Jiang Ling blocked him!"

"It\'s Nightfall\'s doing again! At a time like this! Are they even human!"

...

Unseen, the sins of Nightfall deepened in the hearts of the people.

On the battlefield, Mu Huaqing, burdened with hundreds of weapons, charged into the layers of demon beasts, nearing the black fog surrounding the eight-headed snake.

Hum—

Suddenly, a snake head burst out from the black fog, opening its huge maw towards the surrounding human practitioners. A jet of black burst forth, and a wave of light swept across the sea, slicing the bodies of thousands of practitioners.

At this moment, Mu Huanqing\'s True Qi was already running low, and while dealing with a large number of eighth-order beasts, it was difficult to guard against this black fog.

"Madame Xuan!"

Dozens of female soldiers from the Nine Heavens Corps quickly arrived by Mu Huanqing\'s side to help her withstand the energy shock, but even with their full strength, several soldiers still lost their lives to the beam.

Watching her own soldiers getting sliced open, Mu Huanqing\'s eyes reddened, various emotions of anger intertwined in her heart, her True Qi burning violently as she turned and charged towards the snake head that had emerged from the black fog.

As Mu Huanqing changed direction, hundreds upon thousands of high-order beasts also began to defend towards the head of the giant snake.

For a moment, the blood of Void beasts splattered across the sky. Read first on m|v|l|e|mpyr

As Mu Huanqing approached the head, black light began to sweep towards her from around the snake\'s body, while the head that had appeared from the black fog started to rapidly recoil back into it.

"Moon Wheel!"

The Hundred Martial Divine Weapon transformed into a large shield to meet the sweeping black light, and in the moment the Spirit Form blocked the shock, Mu Huanqing had already reached the snake head that was about to recoil back into the fog.

"Creation Divine Technique! Exterminate!"

The long spear in Mu Huanqing\'s hand turned into a streak of silver light, thundering onto the forehead of the snake head.

"Agh!"

Sparks flew!

The unprotected snake head, under this strike, screamed in pain as its scales were blasted off by the silver light, with black blood gushing from its forehead.

The injured snake head tried even faster to escape back into the black fog, while from within the fog, more black beams swept out towards Mu Huanqing.

"I will kill you!"

Her sisters-in-arms had been killed, and the surge of anger somewhat clouded her mind.

Faced with the sweeping blackness, Mu Huanqing didn\'t defend, instead, she condensed a purple Formation in her hand and slammed it hard onto the snake head.

With a loud rumble, from within the purple Formation, hundreds of vines extended, entangling the huge snake head, and then Mu Huanqing connected the Formation to her own Spirit Form.

Hum—

The Hundred Martial Divine Weapon flew into the sky, the connected vines forcibly keeping the head suspended in mid-air, preventing it from escaping back into the black fog for the time being.

This head was temporarily restrained, but the black beams from afar had already swept over, striking Mu Huanqing\'s silver armor and flinging her over a hundred meters away.

She had willingly given up defense to prevent the opponent from retreating into the fog.

"Cough!"

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from Mu Huanqing\'s mouth; without any pause, she flew up once more and launched a fierce attack on the restrained head.

At this very moment, Bai Chaojin had led the soldiers of the Central Area into the Middle-level War Zone. As he burst into the interior of the battlefield, the first thing he saw was the bloody Mu Huanqing desperately entangled in combat with the head of a black snake. A few traces of discomposure and bewilderment flashed across his aged face.

Such a girl who fought for her life for the Human Race, such a girl whom he had watched grow up from childhood, was he really going to destroy her happiness for the "Seed of Fire Plan"?

In Bai Chaojin\'s heart, he suddenly found it unbearable to witness such a thing happen.

But... the plan was already in motion.

"When humanity is at peace, I will come to apologize to you, Qing\'er..."

Looking at Mu Huanqing, Bai Chaojin sighed in his heart.

Then he turned and charged towards Mu Huanqing, wiping out the beasts around her to ensure her safety.
