Ye Liang had deployed a total of five hundred and forty Sage Clones!
Such an immense amount of power covered nearly the entire Naruto world! Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't possibly possess such a massive amount of chakra!
Looking at the countless figures falling from above, the Yomi Emperor was shocked. He quickly raised his hand and slashed a wave of death qi toward the sky, only to find tens of thousands of Fire Releases raining down on him!
Even the weakest force can become unstoppable when it grows great enough!
The Yomi Emperor wasn't a god—but his strength was still fearsome. Facing such a massive onslaught of jutsu, he simply couldn't resist. After seeing his death qi overwhelmed, he hastily dodged and rushed toward the ancient Yomi Palace.
"Boom!"
The massive ancient Yomi Palace completely collapsed!
Amidst the endless dust and rubble, one Pure Survivor after another burst forth. Some rode raging fire dragons, others surged forward on waves of water, and a few had even summoned colossal beasts into the Yomi World through Summoning techniques!
Over centuries, the Yomi Emperor had devoured no fewer than tens of millions of souls. Those who had survived until today were no weaklings by any means. This immense force was even enough to make Ye Liang hesitate to confront it head-on.
"Yomi Emperor! You've trapped me for all these years! Today I'll send you to hell!"
"Old Yomi bastard! You drained my wife's soul! I'll make you suffer endlessly!"
"Dog thief! Your life is mine!"
One ancient powerhouse after another charged toward the Yomi Emperor—some familiar to Ye Liang, others completely unknown. For example, several who charged at the front had lightning chakra-infused armor covering their bodies—the unmistakable Lightning Release armor!
They were clearly from Kumo Village—but none of their faces were familiar to Ye Liang.
Each of them had once vanished into the forgotten currents of history!
The Yomi Emperor's expression changed dramatically!
He had already recovered much of his former strength. If it were only Ye Liang, he wouldn't have feared him. But how could he possibly resist such an overwhelming number of experts?
The crowd surrounded the Yomi Emperor.
They launched a frenzied assault, raining blows on him from all sides, while the Yomi Emperor struggled desperately to fight back.
But even a dying camel is taller than a horse!
Although he was continuously wounded, quite a few powerful experts had fallen as well. It was like a storm of warriors—powerhouses charging in only to fall lifeless moments later.
Ye Liang watched from the side, his heart pounding.
So many experts launching reckless, suicidal attacks! It was like being backed into a corner with no way out!
"This Yomi Emperor sure has made a lot of enemies!"
Or maybe he understood all too well.
Centuries of hatred burned in their hearts. These experts had watched helplessly as the Yomi Emperor's tendrils drained the souls of their wives and children, vanishing into nothingness bit by bit!
That slow, torturous suffering was worse than any quick death.
"Well, of course they've nothing left to fear!"
Ye Liang raised the Chaotic Cursed Blade.
By now, the group of experts had been reduced by more than half, and the Yomi Emperor was also barely clinging to life. Judging from his labored condition, Ye Liang estimated he could barely stand.
Slowly, blade in hand, he approached.
The Yomi Emperor leaned on a crude stick he had picked up, bracing it against his waist. His remaining strength had clearly diminished.
"What's wrong? Aren't you here for revenge?!"
"This is my life right here! Let's see who dares to take it!" Gnashing his teeth, he glared at the remaining figures surrounding him.
At this moment, he noticed Ye Liang.
"Haha! You little bastard! I must have been out of my mind to trust you back then! Back when you first came to Yomi Palace, I shouldn't have let you go!
I thought you'd help me ascend to a better fate, but instead you've ruined me!"
Ye Liang's eyebrows twitched slightly.
In truth, he had already guessed long ago that during their previous encounter in Yomi Palace, the Yomi Emperor had held back. Now it was finally confirmed.
"So what? You spared me simply because you wanted to use me to help save yourself. Are you now pleading with me?" Ye Liang asked coldly.
"Hahaha! What nonsense are you spouting!" Suddenly, the Yomi Emperor roared with laughter. "Pleading? My name is Wantian Nan'gong—I've never begged anyone in my entire life!
Want to kill me? Then come get me!
Come on!" He stabbed his finger in Ye Liang's direction!
Then he spun and thrust his arm at the scoundrels around him. "You too!
All of you!
If I, Wantian Nan'gong, dare utter a single word of refusal today—may I dash my head against the canyon floor!"
Ye Liang sensed something strange.
People often did incomprehensible things when they lost control of themselves.
The Yomi Emperor had gone mad!
Instinctively, he took two steps backward.
Suddenly!
The Yomi Emperor's body rapidly swelled up, puffing up like a balloon before their stunned eyes.
And then—it exploded!
"Sh*t! He's self-destructing!" Ye Liang stood at the very back. As the explosion erupted, he immediately sidestepped to dodge.
Other experts also realized what was happening.
Minato vanished instantly using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Mikamitsu hadn't even joined the fight, and other powerful cultivators began sprinting wildly toward the exit!
Ye Liang was last in line. Originally, he could have escaped just like Minato by using Earth Release techniques. However, in the moment of the Yomi Emperor's explosion, he spotted a red glow speeding downward into the depths of the canyon.
It was a corpse release method!
Well-versed in such arcane techniques from countless novels in his past life, Ye Liang immediately recognized it.
By concentrating one's spiritual essence within a piece of flesh, as long as that flesh escapes successfully, one can reawaken by drawing upon ambient energy!
Though it would cost enormous cultivation power, for escape purposes, it was perfectly suited.
Without hesitation, Ye Liang used Earth Release to burrow underground! He had already made an enemy for life of the Yomi Emperor, so under these circumstances, there was no way he would let his opponent get away.
With one chasing and the other fleeing, both plunged deep into the earth. Chasing intensely, Ye Liang momentarily failed to watch carefully—and swallowed the Yomi Emperor's flesh whole!
"Darn it!" He painfully clutched his stomach, feeling an uncontrollable living mass thrashing wildly inside! Had it not been for the Immortal Evil Deity's power, his guts would've burst on the spot!
"You schemed against me! Now suffer what it feels like being trapped inside another man's gut!" The voice echoed from within him.
Ye Liang quickly shut his eyes tight—the physical attacks were useless now against the Yomi Emperor. Rather than letting him roam free, he decided to go all-in!
[Soul Possession]!
Earlier, he had devoured the soul of the White Bone General, simultaneously absorbing that secret technique. Since he couldn't attack the Yomi Emperor directly, he might as well completely consume him!
Time to bet everything—on whose soul proves stronger!
He walks the talk!
Ye Liang drew his spiritual energy inward, focusing it in his abdomen.
"Where do you think I am?" The Yomi Emperor gazed blankly around. No blood filled the air, no stench of organs—just an endless white void.
"You're asking where you are? Old fool!"
Ye Liang suddenly burst forth from the surface of the space. He thrust his arm forward with a quick motion! A massive chunk of flesh ripped from the Yomi Emperor's body and soared toward him.
"You brat! Daring to devour me—this is suicide!" The Yomi Emperor's eyes widened—he finally saw through everything!
