Chapter 1889: Chapter 1986: Endless Night
Fang Qingye had never seen this man before, but the aura around the black-robed man bore an uncanny resemblance to Mo Shouhe, as if they originated from the same source.
No need to ponder; it was clear that this person was highly likely another Ancient Spirit Incarnation, appearing with the sole purpose of seizing the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.
"I’ll keep him occupied, you go for the pill," Mo Shouhe said to the black-robed man.
The latter nodded upon hearing this, and in a flash, headed towards the Pill Saint Palace below. Seeing this, Fang Qingye’s expression changed dramatically. He wanted to intervene but was blocked by Mo Shouhe.
"You’re already overwhelmed, and yet you still wish to meddle in other matters. That’s quite ambitious," Mo Shouhe said coldly, pointing with the Measure Heaven Ruler at Fang Qingye.
Fang Qingye snorted and once again clashed with Mo Shouhe. Though the appearance of the black-robed man surprised Fang Qingye, it was within his expectations. Even though he was held up by Mo Shouhe, someone else would go to stop the black-robed man.
After all, the Human Clan did not solely depend on Fang Qingye as the only Martial Lord.
Before the black-robed man could reach the Pill Saint Palace, he was forced back by a powerful fist imprint. The black-robed man struck with a palm, colliding with the incoming powerful fist imprint, and immediately, the sky changed color. The black-robed man’s figure slightly swayed, and his brow furrowed.
"If you want to steal the pill, you should first check if I agree," a mocking laugh echoed as Hou Yi appeared, revealing that it was he who had blocked the black-robed man.
"So it is you," the black-robed man said emotionlessly, not surprised by Hou Yi’s appearance.
Hou Yi, with the Dragon Bone Divine Bow on his back, crossed his arms disdainfully, looking at the black-robed man in the distance, and asked, "I’ve never seen you before. Where did you come from?"
The black-robed man replied coldly, "No need for nonsense. I wish to see just how much capability you, the so-called new Martial Lord of the Human Clan, actually have to stop me."
As soon as the words fell, the black-robed man struck again with a palm. Terrifying dark energy gathered above, forming a pitch-black giant hand that directly pressed toward Hou Yi.
Hou Yi stood firm and unmoved. He could not afford to move, as below him was the Pill Saint Palace, and if he dodged, the Pill Saint Palace would be destroyed in an instant.
The Dragon Bone Bow in his hand, with its bowstring made from dragon sinew, was abruptly drawn. Though there was no arrow, a brilliant stream of light formed on the Dragon Bone Bow.
Whoosh!!!
The sound of breaking through the wind echoed, accompanied by the roar of the True Dragon, shaking heaven and earth. The stream of light condensed on the Dragon Bone Bow instantly transformed into a True Dragon Phantom, steadfastly confronting the all-encompassing pitch-black hand.
Boom!!!!
The dreadful aura swept across the heavens and earth, and all living beings on the ground felt an overwhelming tremor, especially the Pill Saint Palace below Hou Yi, causing many to dramatically change their expressions.
Fortunately, the impact did not affect the Pill Saint Palace, as Hou Yi managed to block all of the residual force, preserving the Pill Saint Palace from significant harm.
"Is this all you’ve got?" The black-robed man suddenly appeared in front of Hou Yi, extending both hands. One held Yin, the other Yang, actually using the Yin Yang Two Energies to invoke the power of heaven and earth.
Hou Yi’s expression remained unchanged, as his own rampant energy surged, delivering a punch directly at the face of the black-robed man.
The black-robed man unleashed both palms, while Hou Yi stood his ground, taking the assault with his supreme physique.
The black-robed man, on the other hand, disregarded Hou Yi’s punch, allowing it to land squarely on his face.
In that moment, both suffered injuries, each being flung backward.
Blood trickled from the corner of Hou Yi’s mouth, yet he only retreated two or three zhang before stabilizing his figure, nonchalantly wiping the blood away, his expression unchanged.
However, the black-robed man was in a far worse state, his entire face reduced to a bloody mess, his features distorted and contorted into a terrifying appearance.
If the black-robed man hadn’t sensed the danger at the last moment and quickly mobilized his own power to neutralize part of Hou Yi’s punch, the blow would have shattered the black-robed man’s head entirely.
At that moment, the black-robed man truly felt Hou Yi’s might. The claim of having the first supreme physique throughout time was certainly no idle boast, for he indeed possessed an invincibly powerful body.
"You’ve had your face shattered, and still, you want to fight?" Hou Yi said contemptuously.
The black-robed man remained apathetic, his broken face healed within a few breaths, showing no sign of injury, as though untouched.
"Despite your strong physique, it’s not enough to make me cease," the black-robed man declared, spreading his arms. Darkness approached, causing the entire sky to lose its color, as if shrouded by a cloak of black.
The entire area within ten thousand miles of the Pill Saint Palace was engulfed in darkness, as though night had suddenly fallen.
Hou Yi frowned. Although he did not know what this fellow intended, he again drew the Dragon Bone Bow. A True Dragon Phantom shot forth, heading straight for the black-robed man.
Yet, the black-robed man emitted a series of laughter as his figure gradually disappeared, merging with the boundless darkness as one, indistinguishable.
The True Dragon Phantom plunged into the vast expanse of darkness, disappearing without a trace, soundlessly vanishing.
"In this moment, I am the heavens," the black-robed man’s voice echoed. Countless black arms extended outward, their numbers immeasurable, reaching toward the Pill Saint Palace.
Hou Yi shouted, stowing the Dragon Bone Bow and raising his hand with a palm strike.
The Masculine Power transformed into a golden giant hand, sweeping through and shattering all those black arms, yet more continuously appeared, seemingly endless.
Hou Yi himself was entangled by dozens of black arms, but they were impotent against him. His surrounding aura surged, shattering all the black arms.
"You claim to be the heavens? How laughable." Hou Yi stepped forward, directly charging into the boundless darkness, seeking the truth.
Yet, countless black chains shot out from the darkness, binding Hou Yi tightly. Not only that, but eerie white flames traveled along the chains, engulfing Hou Yi.
At the same time, the black-robed man emerged ghost-like from the darkness, already above the Pill Saint Palace, only a few hundred steps away.
As for the so-called Heavenly Tribulation, it had no effect on the black-robed man. Even with lightning bolts striking him, they remained inconsequential to him.
The Heavenly Mandate experts above the Pill Saint Palace saw the black-robed man at this moment, and their faces changed dramatically.
"Who is this person?" The Old Palace Master was equally shocked, his old face drained of color. He could sense the immense power of the black-robed man, an aura comparable to a Martial Lord.
