Chapter 2811: Trap
The strength of both sides is evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a winner.
Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for either side to achieve victory.
To slay the Strongest is an extremely challenging task.
Back then, the Heavenly Sect also fell into the hands of the Heaven Slayer, suffering his most powerful strike, which broke his Strongest Realm.
However, the Heaven Slayer could not kill the Heavenly Sect, only forcing him to start cultivating from scratch.
In this current chaotic battle, truly killing a Strongest is basically impossible.
This fight only serves to exhaust both sides greatly, without any substantial significance.
The Heaven Slayer originally thought that the First God would eventually stop and that the battle would end without a conclusion.
Yet, after nearly a decade of fighting and immense power depletion, the First God showed no sign of stopping. Instead, he kept urging the Guardian God’s Strongest to fight desperately, as though truly wanting a decisive battle with the Human Clan.
The Heaven Slayer couldn’t help but feel strange; logically, the First God wouldn’t do something so meaningless. Yet this time, the First God acted extremely out of character. What is going on?
Could it be that there is a trap here?
After thinking for a while, the Heaven Slayer couldn’t help but look toward the Nine Realms. The Nine Realms is the stronghold of the Human Clan. Now that all the Strongest of the Human Clan are in the Guardian Land, would these Guardian Gods take this opportunity to assault the Nine Realms?
However, it was a relief that they were still in this Great World. Therefore, the Heaven Slayer could clearly sense the situation in the Nine Realms. Over there, nothing unexpected had occurred, and the Guardian God hadn’t attacked the Nine Realms.
But if the Guardian God’s target isn’t the Nine Realms, why are they fighting so desperately?
Amidst the confusion, the Heaven Slayer suddenly noticed that something wasn’t right. The surrounding sky seemed to have suddenly darkened a bit.
"Dark Main God?" The Heaven Slayer suddenly looked at the Dark Main God in the sky. Could this be a Secret Technique of the Dark Main God?
However, the Dark Main God was battling the Human Emperor and couldn’t possibly shroud the entire field with his Secret Technique. This situation made the Heaven Slayer even more puzzled. Why did the sky suddenly darken a bit?
Moreover, as developments unfolded, the Heaven Slayer increasingly felt something was wrong. The darkness seemed to become more severe at a visible speed.
As the darkness intensified, the Heaven Slayer suddenly realized their bodies seemed to be corroding, gradually dissolving.
"Something’s wrong!" the Heaven Slayer let out a low shout.
Other Strongest of the Human Clan also felt something amiss as their bodies began to dissolve.
"What’s happening?" the Taoist Venerable exclaimed, "Why is this happening?"
No one could answer this question. The Human Emperor looked at the First God and shouted angrily, "First God, what have you done?"
"What have I done?" The First God sneered, "Didn’t I say I would completely annihilate you all? I am doing just that now!"
"What means have you used to cause this?" the Human Emperor roared angrily.
"No, the First God’s body is also dissolving!" the Demon Lord suddenly shouted.
"Strange? Why is this happening?"
"Could it be that this darkness attacks indiscriminately?"
The Heaven Slayer frowned deeply, "Even if you manage to kill us, do you think you can survive?"
"What do you think?" The First God laughed wildly into the sky.
The Heaven Slayer’s face turned cold. From the First God’s expression, he knew that the Guardian God had a way to escape. In other words, they had fallen into the Guardian God’s trap.
"Retreat!" The Heaven Slayer shouted loudly and immediately turned to flee.
The others, not daring to continue the fight, followed the Heaven Slayer in fleeing.
"No need to chase!" The First God laughed loudly, "They can’t escape!"
Indeed, the First God was correct. No sooner had the Heaven Slayer and others flown far before an unseen force stopped them.
This force wasn’t particularly strong yet they couldn’t pass through it, completely stopped within.
The Heaven Slayer dared not hesitate, brandishing the Heaven-Slaying Blade, striking forcefully to destroy the unseen force.
Yet, as if striking empty air, he hit nothing at all. But the unseen force remained, still unable to break through.
"Change direction!" the Heaven Slayer commanded in a low voice, swiftly leading the others to another direction. However, the outcome was the same. No matter which way, they were blocked by an unseen force, unable to break through.
In a moment, the Heaven Slayer discovered that they seemed trapped in a circular area, surrounded by an unseen force, unable to leave.
"What exactly is this?" the Taoist Venerable exclaimed, half of his body already decomposed.
The Heaven Slayer furrowed his brow, slowly closing his eyes to quietly sense everything around him.
Suddenly, the Heaven Slayer opened his eyes sharply, leaping out quickly with the Heaven-Slaying Blade. As if chasing something, he flew tens of thousands of miles and suddenly slashed down.
With a loud clang!
A coffin appeared in the sky, shattered by the Heaven-Slaying Blade, broken completely!
Someone flew out from the coffin, looking extremely fierce, filled with horrendous fur.
"Fifth Venerable!" the Demon Lord exclaimed, "It’s the Fifth Venerable!? Why is he here?"
The Heaven Slayer looked around, seeing five other coffins appearing and floating distantly in the sky.
"I understand now!" the Heaven Slayer gritted his teeth, "This is the black hole Su Yang spoke of, the black hole from which the Chaos Flower emerged!"
Only now did everyone recall, isn’t this what Su Yang spoke of?
Originally, there were seven coffins. Near the Tai Chi Diagram in the forest, Su Yang broke one coffin with Earth Principle, leaving six.
Now, after the Heaven Slayer shattered one more, five remained.
The coffin Su Yang shattered held the Third Heavenly Venerate. Now, the one shattered by the Heaven Slayer contained the Fifth Venerable.
This revealed that the seven coffins contained the Seven Heavenly Venerables associated with the Heavenly Dao!
This plot wasn’t devised by the First God but by the Seven Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Dao to trap all the Strongest of the Human Clan in one fell swoop!
The faces of the Human Clan’s Strongest went extremely dour; they hadn’t expected the Seven Heavenly Venerables to use such a method against them. They had fallen into this black hole trap, making escape nearly impossible!
