Chapter 361 – The Beast God's Reluctance!

“No!!”

Amidst the flames, the Beast God’s terrified cry rang out.

This Celestial Venerable’s doppelganger self-destructed once again!

A terrifying wave of energy spread out.

Mixed with the power to incinerate everything, a surge of heat erupted and gushed forth, like millennia of accumulated magma from the earth’s core being released!

The boundless high temperatures instantly melted everything in sight!

Vast stretches of mountain forest were reduced to ashes, fiery rain dripped to the ground, melting through it until even the internal ores could be seen turning into molten iron.

The ensuing fires continued to spread.

The white light reached the surface of the Blood Soul Banner.

In an instant!

The fabric made of human skin instantly ignited and burned away!

“No! My soul banner!”

Seeing this, the Beast God’s eyes nearly burst with rage, his face flushing crimson on the spot. He even ignored the scorching heat and reached directly for the burning Blood Soul Banner.

He wanted to grasp it in his hand once more.

This secret treasure, painstakingly crafted, would be an immense loss if destroyed here!!

But alas.

No matter how fast the Beast God moved, he couldn’t outpace the spreading flames.

He was still a step too late…

In the next moment.

Crack!

With a sharp, explosive sound, the Blood Soul Banner’s bone shaft burst into flames, shattering into pale white fragments that shot out in all directions. The human skin on the banner’s surface fluttered away, turning to ashes and scattering into the world.

The moment the Blood Soul Banner was destroyed.

The nether spirits and ghostly realm trapped within were released!

Instantly, countless vengeful souls and blood spirits surged out, darkening the clear skies over the Great Li Mountains for miles around!

Breaking free from their restraints, they shot straight into the sky.

An eerie, cold wind swept through the valley, and the crimson flames, affected by it, transformed into netherworld green fires, terrifying and dreadful.

Countless spirits flew out, but they had barely traveled a few steps before colliding with the residual flames in the Blood Sea.

Sizzle—

Horrifying burning sounds echoed incessantly.

After burning for several breaths, not a single vengeful soul remained.

In the end, only pale gray ashes drifted down from the sky.

“No…”

The Beast God spread his palm and made a futile grab at the sky, but in the end, he caught nothing.

The Blood Soul Banner, forged through immense effort…

After slaughtering so many cities…

This hard-won secret treasure was utterly destroyed in this moment!

“My secret treasure…”

Witnessing this, the Beast God murmured, his heart aching as if pierced by a knife. He silently clenched the ashes in his hand, feeling as though his Dao heart had shattered.

Just then.

Qin Yang’s voice rang out once more—

“Seriously, is your shabby banner that fragile? It’s already done for!?”

Qin Yang crossed his arms over his chest, coldly watching the Beast God as he taunted and delivered the final blow: “What other tricks do you have left? Go ahead and use them.”

As he spoke, he tilted his head back, patted his chest, and gestured toward the remaining doppelgangers behind him:

“Our Exploding Heavens Gang has plenty of people. Counting me, there are still nine Celestial Venerables waiting for you to make your move! No rush, we can take our time!”

As his words fell.

Boom!

The killing intent in the air soared to its peak!

The Beast God’s skin flushed blood-red, making him appear utterly terrifying. He slowly raised his head, staring fixedly at Qin Yang.

His eyes seeped blood, filled with extreme malice and hatred.

“Damn you! You dare act so insolently after destroying my secret treasure?”

He spat out each word through gritted teeth, “I will tear you to pieces! I will use your skin and bones to consecrate a new banner!”

As he spoke.

Boom! Boom!

The Blood Sea Domain expanded once again!Bearing immense fury, the Beast God Domain expanded limitlessly this time, enveloping Qin Yang and the remaining Celestial Venerables in an instant.

An endless crimson curtain rose, obscuring Qin Yang’s surroundings. Frowning slightly, he could clearly sense the Array Formation’s intensity far surpassed anything before.

“Did he use his essence blood?” Qin Yang pondered with a furrowed brow.

The next moment, the Beast God’s frenzied voice echoed in his ears, answering the question outright.

“Even if I exhaust my essence blood, I will capture every last one of you today!”

As he spoke, countless blood palms and hands emerged from the crimson curtain’s surface, terrifying as a spider’s nest.

With each fist and palm strike, mountains crumbled beneath their fingertips.

“Capture me? Hah, we’ll see who captures whom!”

A composed smile graced Qin Yang’s lips as he shed his robe and transformed into a dragon once more.

The colossal crimson-gold creature soared forth, plunging directly into the Blood Sea.

The Sword God Domain unfurled, its sharp Sword Qi scattering like a sudden downpour, assaulting the surrounding Blood Sea Domain.

Infinity clashed with infinity.

Blood palms shattered under the slicing Sword Qi, only to reform anew!

Boom! Boom! Boom—!

Heaven and earth trembled, the violent clashes altering the very terrain of the Great Li Mountains. The endless mountain ranges were affected, part of them forcibly severed.

Two peaks were cleaved apart!

Meanwhile, everyone below watched with bated breath.

This battle concerned not only Qin Yang’s life but the safety of the entire world.

If he fell, no one would remain to oppose the Beast God’s threat!

“Senior Brother, you must return safely,” Li Zixuan whispered, clasping her hands in prayer. Beside her, Li Qinghe stood pale-faced, utterly terrified.

The sky battle was too horrifying to behold.

They could no longer even discern human figures—only two streams of gold and crimson light intertwined, leaping hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye, shifting east then north, moving faster than the eye could follow!

“Everyone, look! The great array is contracting!”

Someone’s sudden shout drew all eyes outward.

Sure enough, a ring of golden inscriptions shrank inward.

In mere moments, it had reduced more than half of its range, compressing the mountains and rivers within the domain along with it.

Ancient Array Inscriptions whirred like a tightening band, gradually crushing the Beast God’s domain!

The next instant—

Swoosh!

The Blood Sea parted, and a figure rode a sword back through!

“Beast God, your end has come!!”

Seizing the moment, Qin Yang trod the Ziwei Divine Sword, riding the winds and waves as he shot out of the Blood Sea’s reach, leaving the Beast God alone in dazed confusion.

“What is this!?”

Only then did the Beast God glance at the golden light around him, his gaze piercing the Blood Sea to the barriers beyond. He finally realized he was trapped within an array.

Encircled by golden inscriptions, he stood alone…

A familiar scene played out before his eyes once more, as if repeating events from centuries past.

Was he to be sealed away again?

Despair gripped the Beast God as he stared helplessly at the Blood Soul Banner in his hand.

Who could have imagined the Exploding Heavens Gang would go to such extremes—even willing to self-destruct a Celestial Venerable Realm expert!

Otherwise, how could the soul banner have been damaged?Such arrogance was absolutely intolerable, not just to me!

Even in the Upper Realm, few major sects could withstand this!

“No, no! I absolutely refuse to be sealed again!”

The Beast God roared in fury, channeling Star Power and striking fiercely at the edges, madly hammering the Demon Sealing Formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of overlapping impacts resonated in an instant as he relentlessly launched attack after attack!

Yet it was all in vain!
