Chapter 369: Chapter 32: Forsaking Darkness for the Light

"Seeking death!"

The Empress’s black hair danced wildly as she looked at the suddenly appearing white-robed figure, her face showing slight anger.

Behind the white-robed figure lay a massive, hideous creature with a withered aura, resembling a gigantic gorilla, but with dark cyan skin all over its body.

It was the Snow Ghost Emperor, but now it was covered by a faint black shield, with its aura continuously recovering.

"I didn’t expect Shen Fei’s strength to have reached this level already.

Just relying on three Summoned Beasts, he could attempt to kill a Tier Nine on his own."

"Not accurately assessing Shen Fei’s strength was indeed our oversight."

The white-robed figure looked at the Empress, with a tone filled with undisguised astonishment.

The Empress’s eyes, with heavy pupils separated, but the mask on the white-robed figure’s face had a reconnaissance-blocking effect.

The appearance was unclear.

The next moment.

Endless black light, like a river, surged toward the Empress.

Every beam of black light in the river carried extremely terrifying kinetic energy, capable of easily destroying Tier Eights.

"Bang bang bang bang——!"

Turtle shells rotated around the Empress, colliding continuously with the black river, creating a mad collision sound.

At the same time.

"Colorless Realm Divine Power!"

The world lost its color, as a dazzling light appeared on the Empress’s palm.

The entire space of the world froze.

The white-robed person’s hand immediately revealed a stick, from which silver light flickered.

Even the [Colorless Realm Divine Power] could not obscure the silver light.

Instantly.

The color of the world rapidly restored.

But the white-robed person did not launch any attack.

Instead, he grabbed the heavily injured Snow Ghost Emperor.

In an instant, they disappeared from the original place.

"Little Pu——!" The Empress shouted loudly.

"Couldn’t stop him, he used a high-tier spatial artifact to leave directly."

Upon hearing this, the Empress frowned slightly.

"Elder Sister, the Master has arrived."

The next moment.

Shen Fei’s figure appeared beside the Empress, and the Empress’s expression shifted from anger to shame.

Her tone was somewhat depressed.

"Master, I failed to keep the Snow Ghost Emperor."

In her heart, the Empress felt bad, knowing that the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable could already kill a Tier Nine alone.

Even with the aid of the Jiuli Array, this was also a testament to the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s ability.

"It’s okay."

Shen Fei shook his head. Little Pu had already told him about the situation here; if it were just a Snow Ghost Emperor, it would definitely be left behind.

But with this suddenly emergent Tier Nine, even with the Empress, Medicine Ancestor, and True Martial combined, they might not be able to take it down.

Moreover, this Tier Nine Demon seemed not to intend to continue entangling with the Empress.

Instead, it left directly using a special artifact, taking the Snow Ghost Emperor with it.

There was nothing the Empress could do about it.

"First, locate the Soul Spirit Crystal..."

Shen Fei said, feeling a bit of unease; it seemed likely that the Celestial Destiny Sect was already aware of his actions.

Shen Fei wasn’t surprised, as they had already eliminated two main array points, and even Dijon and Ning Qingyang were dead.

If there were any means of monitoring their deaths, the Celestial Destiny Sect would know that the plan was surely exposed.

But the speed was indeed too fast.

It seemed they were also well-prepared.

Jasper Pool appeared next to Shen Fei, and he said, "Find the array points nearby."

Though, as the Ice Spirit mentioned, the array points were set by various Emperors themselves, the instinct of placing them nearby remained.

Firstly, to avoid being too distant and remain manageable, and secondly, because the activation of the Soul Spirit Crystal required filling it with souls.

It needed a large number of Abyssal Creatures as the energy source, and naturally, the Abyssal Emperor’s followers wouldn’t lack Abyssal Creatures.

It’s simply about having control over where they go, so naturally, it couldn’t be too far.

Otherwise, it would take too much time and effort.

Jasper Pool nodded and fell into the Snow Ghost Emperor’s city.

And the Abyssal Creatures around had long been paralyzed and sent into the ’Nine Realms’ by the Medicine Ancestor during the Empress and Snow Ghost Emperor’s battle using ’Mafeisan’.

And of the three Abyssal Kings, one fled immediately when the Snow Ghost Emperor fell into a disadvantage, and the other two were killed by the Empress.

After finding the array within Snow Ghost City, Jasper Pool walked through the air and pointed in one direction, saying, "Master, this way."

After a moment.

Shen Fei looked at the place, now empty, where only a formation that flickered with a special light remained.

Beneath this place was also an ice surface, beneath which a layer of dark gray skin could be seen.

Even more clearly, the blood vessels upon it were visible.

"The energy source of this array was taken away, and the power has already been infused into it."

Jasper Pool examined the array, and her voice was slightly solemn.

Shen Fei thought that indeed, this array was the Demon’s primary target.

Freeing up the hands to rescue the Snow Ghost Emperor, it certainly wasn’t that they hadn’t dealt with the Soul Spirit Crystal.

"You continue to handle the remaining small array points."

Shen Fei had Little Pu escort Jasper Pool to Stabbing Immortal.

This was the reason Shen Fei wanted Stabbing Immortal and Jasper Pool together.

With Stabbing Immortal’s Void Shuttle ability, the journey was swift, otherwise, it would be difficult for Jasper Pool’s speed.

If the God of the Cold Abyss revived, even a tenth of the array points might not be covered.

After Jasper Pool vanished, Shen Fei synchronized the situation here with Wu Zhao and Gao Ya.

If such events occurred here, then there couldn’t be any assurance of the existence of the Soul Spirit Crystal elsewhere.

A moment later.

Shen Fei and the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable appeared where the Ice Dragon was.

The Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor was closest to the Ice Dragon, or rather, they had a prior relationship.

Thus, when the Ice Dragon approached directly, sensing its aura, the Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor didn’t suspect why the Ice Dragon wasn’t staying in the city to accumulate power.

Instead, he proactively asked if there was any problem with the Ice Dragon.

But the first meeting with the Ice Dragon resulted in it directly landing a punch on his shell.

The Ice Dragon, transforming into the Jiuli Army, although its power was diminished somewhat.

But it still had the upper hand against Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor, which was a gigantic Mirage Clam. Its outer shell matched the color of the Ice Abyss, snow-white with ancient veins on its surface.

Controlled countless Mirage Qi to transform into ferocious beasts charging at the Ice Dragon.

Yet, they were easily obliterated by the Ice Dragon Shadow.

Even the most robust shell of the Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor couldn’t withstand the Ice Dragon’s terrifying power.

By the time Shen Fei and the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable appeared, several large pits had already formed on the Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor’s shell.

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable instantly used the Jiuli Array to envelope the Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor.

"You—Ice Dragon, you actually sided with humans!"

When the Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor initially faced the Ice Dragon’s unspoken attack, it was filled with confusion, thinking it had offended the Ice Dragon.

Believing that enduring the Ice Dragon’s wrath would be the end, it never expected the Ice Dragon had allied with humans.

Moments later.

A young boy with a tender face smiled apologetically and said, "Brother Ice Dragon, I’ve also turned to the light."

"Where’s the array point?"

What Shen Fei was concerned about was this.
