Break!

The Earth Emanations Sovereign roared as the golden light from his body grew a-hundred-fold brighter. A terrifying aura spread from his body as he transformed into a blazing sun. Not only was his real body now hidden by the bright light, but even divine senses could only sense a patch of golden light.
The golden light evidently had a very strong Yang energy; the black fog on the Netherworld King’s clone was scorched speedily as it became thinner and thinner until it faded into nothing. The Netherworld Slaves far away were also scalded by the golden light as they tumbled around, and their bodies dissolved into nothing.

What kind of mystical ability is this? How terrifying!

Jiang Yi looked around him as he was stunned. However, he was slightly confused as well. If the Earth Emanations Sovereign possessed such a powerful mystical ability, why had it been trapped by the Netherworld King’s clone?

Pfff!

The golden light steadily grew weaker around the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s body as he spat out a huge amount of blood. The aura within his body also became extremely weak. He took two deep breaths as he said,
Jiang Yi, cleanse their bodies of the Netherworld Aura; I will destroy the formation first.


Alright!

Jiang Yi did not dare to probe further as he controlled the Xiaozhuan characters and shot them toward the rest of his companions. All of them woke up extremely quickly. They were first shocked and then immediately overjoyed. Although they were the top-tier formidable martial artists in the Earth Emanations Domain, they were humans as well and didn’t want to die or become Netherworld Realm lackeys. Now that they had been saved right at the brink of the gates of hell, their joy was understandable.

The Sovereign?

Mo Lingqiu saw that the Earth Emanations Sovereign had also escaped from the Netherworld King’s clone’s control and was even happier. Di Ming looked at Jiang Yi and asked curiously,
Jiang Yi, the Netherworld King’s clone had been killed by you?

All of them had been trapped just now; only Jiang Yi was in the vicinity besides them. If it wasn’t Jiang Yi, who else could have saved them?

No, the Netherworld King’s clone was killed by the Sovereign!
Jiang Yi saw that many people were looking gratefully at him as he scratched his head embarrassingly.

Jiang Yi!

The Earth Emanations Sovereign opened his mouth and said,
If it wasn’t for you, we would all have perished this time. Let’s talk about other things later on; you guys bring Jiang Yi and leave this place. I will destroy the formation first!


Alright!

The group of them immediately flew up as Di Ming brought Jiang Yi along and charged towards the surface. When they resurfaced above the Black Snow Sea, three of the skeletal giants above had already been killed; only two others were still bitterly struggling.

Die!

The eleven of them had almost been killed by the Netherworld King’s clone just now. Now that they have managed to escape, they were instantly enraged by the remaining two skeletal giants. Jiutian Wu and Mo Lingqiu flew over and combined forces to attack them, and the two skeletal giants immediately exploded into broken bones.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wave after wave of loud explosions could be heard from the bottom of the sea. Following that, the seawater tossed and turned violently as a strong force traveled from beneath upwards. Di Ming hurriedly brought Jiang Yi and flew towards the sea.
Boom! Boom!
The explosions continued to ring, growing louder and louder as the waves were roiled and exploded high up ten thousand feet into the sky. The Earth Emanations Sovereign shot out from inside the sea and resurfaced. Although the blood around his mouth was gone, his face was still exceptionally pale.
He looked at the top-tier formidable martial artists as he ordered coldly,
I have suffered injuries and will return to the Earth Emanations City first to recuperate. Lingqiu, I make you the commander-in-chief of this demon-cleansing operation; you are ordered to kill all the Netherworld Realm beings. Jiang Yi, you will be the deputy commander-in-chief. You will assist Lingqiu. Everyone else will be Jiang Yi’s deputies and be in charge of protecting his safety. If Jiang Yi dies, there is no need for you all to come back!

Swish!
Two command tokens flew out from the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s hand and went to Mo Lingqiu and Jiang Yi respectively. The Earth Emanations Sovereign then flashed into a beam of light and disappeared northwards. Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
Jiang Yi was actually the deputy commander-in-chief? Even Qin Lianshan and the Xuanyuan Clan Head were not qualified for this post and had to be Jiang Yi’s deputies? If Jiang Yi died… they didn’t have to live anymore?
This was the harshest they had witnessed the Earth Emanations Sovereign become. However, after thinking things through, everyone started to understand the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s reasoning. If it wasn’t for Jiang Yi, the Earth Emanations Sovereign would have probably died; Jiang Yi was akin to his savior. It wasn’t that out of the ordinary to make him the deputy commander-in-chief. This demon-cleansing operation was also temporary; after it was over, Jiang Yi’s position would be relinquished as well.
Everyone was also very appreciative of Jiang Yi; they didn’t actually mind being his bodyguard for a while. Mo Lingqiu saw that Jiang Yi was stunned as he smiled and said,
Jiang Yi, you had done very well this time; we will celebrate your achievements when this matter is over. Now, let’s go to the Black River City first and eliminate the Netherworld Realm army!

Everyone started to fly towards the Black River City, killing many Netherworld Realm beings as they went. They did not stay in the Black Snow Mountainous Region to kill the Netherworld Race beings there; many Netherworld Realm armies were attacking various cities at the moment. Every city that was taken over meant that tens of millions of people would die. Compared to exterminating the Netherworld Race beings here, saving lives was more important.
Everyone’s expressions while flying were very serious; they didn’t speak to one another. However, they were still slightly shaken internally.
Thinking about the situation just now made them shiver; they also started to view Jiang Yi in higher regard. From Jiang Yi and the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s conversation, it was clear that the Earth Emanations Sovereign had been able to kill the Netherworld King’s clone only because of Jiang Yi’s assistance. That meant that Jiang Yi had withstood the Netherworld King’s clone’s attacks, giving the Earth Emanations Sovereign the opportunity to strike.
Withstanding a Netherworld King’s clone’s attack?
This shocked everyone even more. What treasures did Jiang Yi have? Even the Earth Emanations Sovereign had not been able to withstand it; Jiang Yi could actually stand up against such a dense amount of Netherworld Aura? Could his mysterious characters be a Primordial Spiritual Treasure?
At this moment, Jiutian Wu and some others even started to harbor thoughts of killing Jiang Yi to get this treasure.
If they had in their possession this treasure, they would be able to head to the Heaven Domain and slaughter huge numbers of Netherworld Race soldiers. They would gain a limitless supply of battle merits and divine roots and would have the opportunity to break through to the King-Ranked Realm and gain control over one domain. At the very least, they would be able to gain control of a prefecture in the Heaven Domain and rule as lords.
Of course…
Ultimately, no one dared to act rashly. Besides the fact that Di Ming and Mo Lingqiu were near Jiang Yi—even if they managed to kill Jiang Yi, the Earth Emanations Sovereign would definitely massacre their clans; he would probably even pursue them to the Heaven Domain to kill them.
Jiang Yi was also experiencing some turbulence internally. He was actually conversing with that little beast within his soul spirit consciousness, asking why it could swallow the Netherworld Aura. He ultimately could not get any answers; the little beast did not know why either. It only instinctively felt that it could swallow the Netherworld Aura.


This? Could this be the legendary Heaven-Swallowing Beast that could swallow all things?


He recalled the Netherworld King’s clone’s astonishment and its deduction as Jiang Yi’s entire soul spirit shook slightly. A beast that could swallow all things? Could this Heaven-Swallowing Beast be that powerful? Even the Netherworld King’s clone had been so stunned; could this Heaven-Swallowing Beast be very special?
Since it was so special, why did it appear in the Primitive Mystic Realm? The Primitive Mystic Realm was the lowest grade mystic realm; there were the higher-grade Dao Heaven Mystic Realm and Primordial Mystic Realm above it.

I’ll go and research this when I have the time. I want to see what this Heaven-Swallowing Beast is.

Jiang Yi made this decision internally. At this moment, a voice transmission suddenly rang out in his mind: 

Jiang Yi, since you possess such a powerful mystical ability, I personally recommend you to go and join the Demon-Buster Army. You do not even need to fight; you just have to help cleanse others’ Netherworld Aura. Every battle you fight, you would probably gain a significant amount of battle merits. If you are lucky, you could potentially earn a million battle merits in a month. At that time, you could use these battle merits to continuously enter the mystic realms to accelerate your growth.



In a month? A million battle merits?

Jiang Yi was utterly stunned. He looked at Di Ming and asked,
Where is the Demon-Buster Army? Can I join?
