Rumble!
The sword light on the Sword Sect's Spirit's blade finally descended like an indestructible cannonball and struck the center of the World Prison.
Suddenly, the heavens and earth wailed, as if the world had fallen into a deep slumber from the explosion. Countless onlookers were startled. A violent spirit tide frantically overflowed, stirring up hurricanes in the air.
Even the Domain Lords of the eight regions, who were World Realm existences, revealed expressions of fear at this moment. They all formed seals with their hands and formed multiple barriers. Their other hand held up the clouds and pulled the people of their region back a thousand meters.
Stabilizing his body, Yao Ming's eyes flashed with a strange light. He stared at the prison in disbelief, "This, this is impossible. How is this possible? How can this brat activate the Sword Sect Spirit to such an extent!"
He could not believe it, nor was he willing to believe it. He had prepared for a long time for this plan and had given up too much. He did not even mind becoming enemies with the eight regions. But now, not only had he failed to kill Qin Shi, even Fang Qing was about to break the prison. He did not want to see such an outcome, nor could he bear it.
He tightly clenched his fists. At this moment, a Sanskrit voice suddenly rang out beside his ears, causing his expression to change into shock.
"Our plan failed. Let's hide for now. We will never break our promise to you. This time, we failed. If the other eight zones make things difficult for you, we will not just stand and watch. After a while, we will send reinforcements to the Chaotic Lands."
Yao Ming heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard the Sanskrit voice. It was as if the words hidden in the darkness were enough to lift the boulder in his heart.
Buzz! Buzz!
The waves in the sky grew even more violent.
Crack!
A clear crack appeared on the World Prison. Everyone held their breaths in concentration as a few thousand strands of World Realm Heavenly Tribulation shot out like a violent dragon.
That power was unprecedented. Almost half of the Chaotic Region's inner region was turned to ashes.
Fortunately, the eight region leaders were already prepared, and had taken precautions beforehand. But even so, their faces turned pale, and even He Shuhan was no exception.
The World Realm Heavenly Tribulation was a divine punishment. It was too powerful.
"How terrifying … This, this kind of power, can someone really overcome the tribulation successfully?"
When the countless Domain Realm Elders saw the World Realm Heavenly Tribulation, their mentality collapsed. From then on, it was determined that they had no fate with the World Realm in this lifetime.
Among the eight regions, the Sword Sect was in the most pathetic state. Fang Qing was trapped in the World Prison, and no one else had the power of the World Realm to resist the World Realm Heavenly Tribulation. Even Feng Sha's eyes widened, and his body was forced back by the hurricane.
Qin Shi was the closest to it. An overflowing torrent was like the mouth of a tiger, fiercely devouring him.
"Buzz!"
Fortunately, under the influence of the Demonic Qi of the World Prison, the evil spirits acted in time. An extremely profound devouring power engulfed Qin Shi and the Sword Sect in a ball of darkness without anyone noticing.
No matter how strong the power from the outside world was, it was useless in this darkness.
Because of this, when the violent flow of energy gradually stopped, the Sword Sect had instead become the party that suffered the least losses amongst the people present here.
Xiu!
At this moment, to prevent anyone from suspecting anything, a beautiful figure leapt out with a sword in her hand. She still walked with light steps, and the Sky Crushing Sword in her hand was exceptionally dazzling.
"It's Fang Qing!"
"She still managed to escape in the end."
The people of the eight regions exclaimed. Yao Ming's eyes shone with a cold light.
Fang Qing had just broken out of the World Prison. She grabbed the Sword Sect's Spirit and landed beside Qin Shi.
"Sect Master!" Qin Shi called out softly.
"Yes."
Fang Qing nodded and gently put the Sword Sect's Spirit on Qin Shi. When she looked at Qin Shi, there was an indescribable love in her eyes.
Qin Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Qing was fine.
Fang Qing patted his shoulder gently. Then, she glared at Yao Ming with her cold eyes.
In an instant, the world froze, and the entire place became deathly silent.
Gulp …
All that was left was the sound of people's throats moving. Everyone knew that Fang Qing was fine this time, but she definitely wouldn't let it go. The real chaos was just about to begin.
At this moment, the Sword Sect's Spirit flickered again, and a gentle stream of spiritual energy wrapped around Fang Qing's wrist, stopping her movements.
"Master …!" Fang Qing was slightly startled.
"Don't fight too much. It's not suitable to fight with the Chaotic Realm today. There are people from the Puppet Group nearby." Qi Qing's voice rang out softly.
Fang Qing and Qin Shi were both shocked. "The Sea Group?"
Then, Qi Qing's voice disappeared. No matter how they called out, there was no response. Qin Shi clutched the Sword Sect's Spirit on his chest with one hand. He thought that Qi Qing must have done this because she was afraid of being detected. From the moment the Sword Sect's Spirit appeared, he could feel the strange gazes from the surroundings.
Even though Qi Qing was very strong, it would be difficult for her to remain silent in front of He Shuhan and the other old fellows.
After Qi Qing's dissuasion, Fang Qing clenched her fist, and her gaze no longer lingered on Yao Ming.
The people from the eight regions heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this scene. Just a moment ago, they were still worried about where they would stand once the Sword Sect and the Chaotic Realm clashed.
In truth, they were all enraged by Yao Ming, but they were mostly restrained by the desire to take over half of the Chaotic Realm's territory.
This was the best outcome they could have hoped for.
The Domain Master of the Blazing Domain stood up at this moment. The Domain Master of the Blazing Domain was a junior similar to Yao Ming and Fang Qing. He greeted everyone with a smile and laughed, "I say, the Puppet Group is too despicable. This time, we almost fell into their trap. Fortunately, everyone is safe in the end."
"Yes, yes, yes. The Puppet Group is too despicable."
When someone spoke, someone else immediately agreed. Looking at their disgusting faces, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"What a group of people who forget their morals at the sight of profit." Qin Shi cursed in his heart.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The path of cultivation is like this. With a lifespan of a thousand years, they have long forgotten the ways of the world. The only things left in their eyes are themselves, desire, and profit." Feng Sha's withered hand gently patted Qin Shi's shoulder.
Qin Shi also understood this. Hence, he repeatedly warned himself not to become like this no matter what.
Ling Mufeng stood up and spoke for Yao Ming. "This time, the Domain Master of the Yao Ming region is responsible and does not intend to escape. Since he has already given up half of the Chaotic Realm's territory, we should not continue to be entangled with him. He did not do it on purpose."
Everyone hurriedly nodded upon hearing this.
Ling Mufeng coldly snorted. After a slight hesitation, he said to Fang Qing, "Sect Master Fang Qing, what do you think?"
Fang Qing's eyes were bone-chilling. She snorted disdainfully, "You can divide the half of the territory among yourselves. My Sword Sect will not participate."
Her words were very obvious. She did not intend to forgive Yao Ming, but she also did not intend to continue causing trouble. This made the other regions heave a sigh of relief.
"That's fine as well. My Wind Region will temporarily take care of this territory for the Sword Sect. If there comes a day when sect master Fang Qing remembers and wants to return, just tell me. I will definitely hand it over with both hands."
"Old man Ling, what you said is wrong. Sect master Fang Qing has already made it very clear. His Sword Sect has a vast territory and does not care about such a small territory. No matter what, it should be divided equally among the six regions. What's wrong with you monopolizing it?"
However, before Fang Qing could object, the other six regions quickly voiced their objections.
A territory was not just a territory for the eight regions. What they valued more was the benefits that could be generated from that territory.
Even if half of the Chaotic Realm's territory was divided into six equal portions, each portion would have at least a thousand Spirit mines, a hundred Xuan mines, and hundreds of empires' salaries. There would also be all kinds of heavenly treasures growing within. Every year, it would be a huge amount of wealth that could rival an empire. No one would let go of it so easily.
The corner of Ling Mufeng's mouth twitched a couple of times. He had no choice but to compromise.
Yao Ming's expression became extremely gloomy as he watched his territory being divided by the six of them. Finally, he let out a cold snort and tightly clenched his fist. "Humph, do you really think that it is so easy to take the things that belong to me, Yao Ming?
Sooner or later, I will make all of you spit it out even more after taking what belongs to me! "
The resentment in Yao Ming's heart grew deeper.
Of course, the other six regions did not seem to have realized this. After dividing half of the Chaotic Realm's territory, everyone gradually returned to the main topic, the Symbol Demon Massacre. Clearly, it was no longer suitable for Yao Ming to summarize the situation. Everyone elected He Shuhan to manage the situation.
He Shuhan did not decline. She inquired for Yao Ming's opinion, "Region chief Yao Ming, you don't have any objections, right?"
"Ha ha, of course. I am a sinner. What else can I do now?
Sect master He has the greatest seniority in the eight regions. You should be the one in charge. "Yao Ming gave a superficial smile as he spoke.
Everyone could understand the thorns in Yao Ming's words. Of course, He Shuhan did not mind and gently nodded. "That is for the best."
Soon after, she stepped on the cold current and rose into the sky. She said, "After nearly a month, this Eight Region Symbol Demon Competition has finally come to an end. I believe that everyone present should be aware of just who will be the champion this time around."
"Uproar!"
An uproar broke out below. Tens of thousands of eyes gathered on Qin Shi.
Qin Shi's sudden appearance this time around had greatly broadened the horizons of the eight regions. This was especially the case for the divine symbol light at the end. Even after experiencing countless twists and turns, everyone was still unable to disperse it.
The result was already very obvious. Qin Shi was undoubtedly the champion of this competition.
Of course, they still had to wait for He Shuhan's announcement. He Shuhan softly smiled. "Our champion is from the Sword Sect, Qin Shi!"
Qin Shi's black eyes revealed a soft smile amidst the heaviness after hearing the final announcement.
Fang Qing and Feng Sha revealed gratified expressions.
"He really did it!" In the Chaotic Realm, Wu Ning, who was sitting in his seat, revealed a rare genuine smile.
Not just Wu Ning, but Purgatory and Huo Dao.
His old eyes narrowed into slits as he stroked his beard and raised his head.
"Little girl, did you see that?
He did not disappoint you. "
