Inverse Sword Mad God-Chapter 1490 - 1488: Annihilation!

In the sky, the divine power of the black flames was immense, colliding with the golden sword energy and quickly setting it ablaze.

In the next moment, the golden sword energy in the sky began to melt rapidly as if ice had met raging fire.

Suddenly, both heaven and earth seemed engulfed, and ten thousand eight hundred golden divine swords were entirely burned away within the black flames.

"What? How can this be!"

Seeing this, the people including Murong Ancestor were shocked, and Lin Xuan’s face turned grim.

There was no choice; the two-star king was truly terrifying. Although he possessed the Great Dragon Sword Soul, his cultivation was still at the Venerable Realm, unable to exert full power.

"Damn it!"

Lin Xuan’s face showed unwillingness as he retreated quickly like a flash of lightning.

The next moment, a ferocious fire dragon appeared where he had been standing, piercing through the void directly.

"Hmph, brat, you think you can fight against me?"

After repelling Lin Xuan in one move, the Heavenly Nether Bird scoffed with disdain.

He then grasped the black demon furnace in his hand and swept across the four directions. A flame among them struck towards the Eight Phases Formation.

"Not good!"

Three thousand Supreme Venerables watched this scene and their faces changed drastically, quickly activating the Eight Phases Array to resist the Heavenly Nether Bird.

However, at this moment, that black demon furnace was too terrifying. Even though the Eight Phases Formation was incredibly miraculous, it still couldn’t withstand the Heavenly Nether Bird.

The next moment, one of the light gates shattered, and the bodies of hundreds of Venerables exploded, turning into countless blood mist.

Seeing this scene, Patriarch Shen, King of Joy, and others roared wildly, wanting to rush forward.

However, the Heavenly Nether Bird swung his palm, and endless black flames surged towards them.

"Damn it!"

Patriarch Shen unleashed the golden giant, and King of Joy likewise sent out the nine lotus to oppose this black flame.

But to their shock, their attacks ignited fiercely within these black flames.

"What? How can this be!"

All kings were shocked, unable to believe it.

Patriarch Shen and King of Joy roared repeatedly, wanting to extinguish the black flames.

Yet they simply couldn’t do it, as the black flames burned hotter and even drifted towards their bodies.

Despair flickered in their eyes; they screamed frantically but to no avail.

At the critical moment, Lin Xuan moved into action, releasing a sea of black flames to counter the Nine Nether Black Flame of the Heavenly Nether Bird.

Only then did he save Patriarch Shen and King of Joy.

The kings on Lin Xuan’s side breathed a sigh of relief, while the Heavenly Nether Bird showed a shocked expression.

He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to also possess black flames with the very familiar aura of his Nine Nether Black Flame.

The next moment, he understood.

It was because Lin Xuan had once obtained one of his original feathers, containing his original flames.

It seems Lin Xuan gained the Nine Nether Black Flame by absorbing that feather.

"Brat, I didn’t expect you’d be so lucky to get my black flames!"

"But so what? This black flame can only reach its full power when paired with my bloodline power."

"You can’t exert its full force at all!"

The Heavenly Nether Bird sneered viciously, then urged the black demon furnace to strike swiftly.

Boom boom boom!

He shattered the Eight Phases Formation into pieces.

The remaining seven light gates also exploded, and three thousand Supreme Venerables vanished, all absorbed by the Heavenly Nether Bird.

His aura surged once more, and a world-shaking power emanated from within him.

"Late Stage Two-star King!"

The Dark Red Divine Dragon was stunned by this scene, his eyelids twitching wildly, his face turning ugly.

"It’s over. This bastard succeeded! He’s returned to the late stage of the two-star king!"

"Brat, we have no hope left."

Indeed, the situation was dire.

They had struggled against him when he was at the mid-stage two-star king, and now that his power increased to the late stage, it was impossible.

"Hahahahaha!"

The Heavenly Nether Bird, restored to peak condition, laughed wildly, his voice reverberating across the four directions.

His whole body was ablaze with arrogance to the extreme.

The next moment, he stopped laughing, his huge head turning, fixing his gaze on Lin Xuan and six others.

"I’ll slaughter all of you soon!"

"Brat, don’t worry. I will give you special treatment and make you unable to live or die!"

The icy gaze of the Heavenly Nether Bird was like a sharp blade cutting across Lin Xuan and the six others.

Immediately, Murong Ancestor, King of Joy, and others shivered, with a touch of fear surfacing.

Lin Xuan and the Dark Red Divine Dragon had frighteningly somber expressions.

Things were really bad now. Out of everyone they had brought, only these seven remained.

The three King Slayer Arrays and three thousand Supreme Venerables were all destroyed by the Heavenly Nether Bird.

In the entire sky, only seven kings were left.

They were the final hope.

Yet, the Dark Red Divine Dragon shook his head in despair: "It’s over, there’s no hope left."

"Brat, let’s leave quickly."

"Leave, where to?" Lin Xuan frowned.

"Return to the Southern Domain, there is no hope left in the Heavenly Martial Continent. We seven can’t contend with a late-stage two-star king."

"Unless one of us breaks through to a two-star king, there’s no hope left."

The Dark Red Divine Dragon shook his head: "The Heavenly Martial Continent is beyond hope. We could go to the Southern Domain, where the Black Soil is invincible!"

"Even the Heavenly Nether Bird as a two-star king can’t breach the Black Soil."

"Perhaps you could cultivate inside the Black Soil, wait to break through to a two-star king, then come out."

"No!"

Lin Xuan shook his head decisively, fearing that by then nothing may remain on the Heavenly Martial Continent.

Furthermore, by that time perhaps the Southern Domain would also be dragged into catastrophe.

Lin Xuan adamantly refused. His many friends and fellow disciples were all on this Heavenly Martial Continent.

Moreover, billions of life forms were on the continent.

Running away doesn’t suit his character.

Seeing Lin Xuan shake his head, the Dark Red Divine Dragon eagerly communicated: "Staying here solves nothing, only getting killed!"

"Don’t you want to go to the True Spirit Continent? Don’t you want to climb to greater Martial Arts Heights?"

"Dying here would be such a pity!"

"Rather die fighting than run away!" Lin Xuan’s eyes were resolute.

"If I can’t face this danger, how will I muster courage to enter the True Spirit World later?"

"How can I pursue greater heights on the path of martial art?"

"Enough talking, Rascal Dragon, assist me one last time!" Lin Xuan said firmly.

"What are you planning?" The Dark Red Divine Dragon worried, "Don’t be reckless."

"I have a secret technique to gather external energy. You six will transmit energy to me, and I’ll go face the Heavenly Nether Bird in battle." Lin Xuan said.

"What? That’s too dangerous!" The Dark Red Divine Dragon was shocked.

"It’s the last resort. I possess the Great Dragon Sword Soul with immense combat power; only I can directly confront the Heavenly Nether Bird head-on."

What Lin Xuan said was true, since even if seven kings worked together now, they wouldn’t be a match for the Heavenly Nether Bird.

Moreover, the others wouldn’t be able to withstand the black flames, only he could.
