An arrow infused with the power of a Universal God pierced through the space, even breaking through the various defensive measures hastily erected by Ye Tian.
The power disparity between the two sides was immense, belonging to entirely different tiers.
Moreover, the opponent launched a sudden attack and had set up an array around them, isolating all means of escape. Even with Ye Tianâs death substitution talent, it seemed unlikely he could escape.
Furthermore, Ye Tian hadnât had time to activate his death substitution talent, nor did he have a substitute clone here.
Thus, he couldnât avoid this arrow.
The arrow pierced through Ye Tianâs body and even penetrated Tianlan Giant City, striking the cityâs array.
âItâs done!â
The Universal God breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, a furious voice echoed through Tianlan Giant City.
âCourting death!â
A massive divine pillar appeared in the void, descending and smashing the Universal God into fragments.
Immediately, a giant hand grabbed the Dominator fighting with Dominator Dark, imprisoning him instantly.
A figure emergedâ a middle-aged man in a green robe, his face showing anger.
âGreetings, City Lord of Tianlan!â
Dominator Dark greeted respectfully.
The person before them was the City Lord of Tianlan Giant City, also a Dominator. However, unlike Dominator Dark, the City Lord of Tianlan was exceptionally powerful even within the Dominator realm, while Dominator Dark was an ordinary Dominator. The power difference between them was vast.
âPrince of Ten Thousand Laws!â
Dominator Dark immediately moved to Ye Tianâs side, and the City Lord of Tianlan also approached.
Ye Tianâs chest had a huge hole, pierced by the arrow shot by the Universal God, capable of instantly killing any Great God.
This represented a power gap of several major realms, impossible to bridge.
At first, Dominator Dark thought Ye Tian had fallen, feeling a pang of guilt, but then he sensed Ye Tianâs lifeforce.
âThe Prince of Ten Thousand Laws isnât dead!â The City Lord of Tianlan said.
âHowever, this attack was targeted at His Highness. Be vigilant of our surroundings!â The Tianlan City Lord cautioned.
âIâve already notified the Supreme Hall of Humanity. Soon, a Heavenly Venerable from the Supreme Hall will descend to investigate this matter!â Dominator Dark responded.
âNearly died!â Ye Tian spoke.
Though his wounds couldnât heal, his life was saved.
In reality, he couldnât withstand the arrow and would have been instantly killed, but at the critical moment, he activated his damage transfer talent, transferring the damage to the Death Flowers in the Ancient Chaos Realm.
The Death Flowers had now reached the peak Great God level, and under Ye Tianâs extensive resource cultivation, numerous Death Flowers had been nurtured, comparable to the former sea of Death Flowers.
When the Universal God shot his full-power arrow, the damage was spread across the sea of Death Flowers.
Even so, almost all the Death Flowers in the sea died, and even the Death Flower Queen was heavily injured, leaving Ye Tian severely wounded and near death.
This injury wasnât an ordinary wound and couldnât be healed by Ye Tianâs current recovery abilities alone. He needed the help of the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
Boom!!!
A Heavenly Venerable descended! The City Lord of Tianlan and Dominator Dark bowed and greeted, âGreetings, Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable!â
The Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable was one of the seventy-eight top beings of humanity and also a female Heavenly Venerable.
âWhat happened?â Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable inquired.
Dominator Dark immediately recounted the events.
Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable looked at the captured Dominator with extreme anger, her eyes flashing with purple light as she used an illusionary divine ability on him.
In an instant, the Dominator was controlled by her illusionary divine ability.
âSpeak, why did you attack the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws?â Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable demanded.
âIt was the order of the Hundred Ghosts Supreme to attack the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws.â The Dominator confessed.
âThe Hundred Ghosts Supreme!!!â
The City Lord of Tianlan and Dominator Dark exclaimed. He was the first Supreme of the Ghost Race! This meantâ¦
âAre you from the Ghost Race?â Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable asked.
âYes, I am a Dominator of the Ghost Race. I seized the body of a human and used some secret treasures to conceal my soul aura, infiltrating the human race to establish Ghost Gate!â
âSo he is⦠the master of Ghost Gate!â
The City Lord of Tianlan and Dominator Dark were shocked.
Ghost Gate was a Dominator-level force of the human race, extremely low-key and known for its dark arts. Though their cultivation methods resembled those of the Ghost Race, it wasnât uncommon.
Many great races in the universe had similar cultivation methods, and as long as they were part of the human race, no one would question them.
Unexpectedly, the master of Ghost Gate was indeed from the Ghost Race!
âDie!â
Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable willed, instantly obliterating the Ghost Raceâs Dominator.
At the moment of death, the Dominatorâs soul aura was exposed, revealing it to be of the Ghost Race.
âCity Lord of Tianlan, I order you to eradicate Ghost Gate!â Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable commanded.
âYes!â The City Lord of Tianlan obeyed.
âDominator Dark, take the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws back for treatment!â Purple-clad Heavenly Venerable instructed.
âYes!â Dominator Dark nodded, then took Ye Tian back to the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
News of the attack on Ye Tian soon reached Kunwu Supreme, who was fighting on the front lines.
âDamn it! The Ghost Race dared to plant spies in the Human Race and even attacked our most monstrous genius, the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws!â Kunwu Supreme was furious.
To the Human Race, Ye Tian was not just a future Supreme but a potential seed who could surpass the Supreme-level. Once Ye Tian truly grew, the strength of the Human Race would multiply many times over.
In Kunwu Supremeâs eyes, losing a Supreme was preferable to letting anything happen to Ye Tian.
On that day, Kunwu Supreme, Primordial Supreme, and several other Supremes gathered for a meeting.
During the meeting, Kunwu Supreme said, âNot long ago, the Ghost Race sent spies to attack the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws at our Supreme Hall. Fortunately, His Highness had mysterious means to withstand the strike from a Universal God and survived. Otherwise, the loss to our Human Race would have been immense.
This time, we must annihilate the Ghost Raceâs Supremes!â
âThe Ghost Raceâs Supremes have hidden themselves. No matter how many Universal Gods and Dominators we kill, they never come out. If we hadnât blocked this area, those Supremes would have already escaped to other places. Finding these Supremes isnât an easy task!â
An ordinary Supreme spoke up.
âI will ask the Lord of Cangyu to search for the Ghost Raceâs Supremes!â
Kunwu Supreme suddenly declared.
âThe Lord of Cangyu? That Innate Deity? He possesses a wondrous great divine ability related to time, called Time Retracing. As long as he has been to a place where the Ghost Raceâs Supremes were, and if their power doesnât surpass his, the Lord of Cangyu can track them.â
âBut the Lord of Cangyu is an Innate Deity; he might not participate in racial wars,â said Divine Blade Supreme.
âAs long as we pay a certain price, with my and the Lord of Cangyuâs relationship, he will surely agree!â Kunwu Supreme assured.
âFine. Once the Lord of Cangyu takes action, Iâm confident we can kill all the Ghost Raceâs Supremes!â Primordial Supreme agreed.
âGood. I will go invite the Lord of Cangyu immediately!â Kunwu Supreme departed.
A few days later, Kunwu Supreme successfully persuaded the Lord of Cangyu and brought him along.
On that day, the Supremes of the Human Race attacked the Ghost Shrine, and the Lord of Cangyu arrived there as well.
âLord of Cangyu, itâs up to you now!â Kunwu Supreme said.
âNo problem!â
The Lord of Cangyu began to activate his time talent, using the great divine ability Time Retracing.
Boom!!!! Time began to flow backward, revealing scenes from the past.
âFreeze!â
The image froze on Hundred Ghosts Supreme.
The Lord of Cangyu extracted a thread of time laws from Hundred Ghosts Supremeâ past image. This thread of time laws then started to drift toward a distant scene.
The Lord of Cangyu repeatedly used the great divine ability of Time Retracing until he finally located Hundred Ghosts Supreme.
âHeâs right here!â
The Lord of Cangyu pointed to a dark river in the distance.
âThatâs the Ghost Raceâs Wangu River. The environment there is extremely harsh, and the yuan qi is very low. Even the Ghost Race rarely visits that place. It turns out Hundred Ghosts Supreme is hiding there!â Primordial Supreme remarked.
Immediately, Primordial Supreme and several other Supremes made their move.
Boom!!! In an instant, Wangu River was annihilated, and a figure was sent flying out of it.
âImpossible! How did you find me?â
Hundred Ghosts Supreme stared incredulously at Primordial Supreme and the others.
Upon seeing the Lord of Cangyu, he instantly understood.
âLord of Cangyu, so you joined in too!â Hundred Ghosts Supreme exclaimed in anger.
âI just took on a task to help Kunwu Supreme find someone. Iâm not participating in this war. This war has nothing to do with me!â The Lord of Cangyu replied coldly.
âKill!â Primordial Supreme acted.
Under the combined assault of multiple Supremes, Hundred Ghosts Supreme was no match. Even against Primordial Supreme alone, he wasnât an opponent, let alone so many Supremes.
In the blink of an eye, Hundred Ghosts Supreme fell completely.
In the following days, the other ordinary Supremes and Heavenly Venerables of the Ghost Race were found one by one and all were killed by the Supremes of the Human Race.
Thus, the Ghost Race was utterly wiped out.
Even though a few members of the Ghost Race escaped from the Ghost Star Fields, they would only be able to hide in the dark corners of the universe, barely surviving. They might even be wiped out by other major cosmic races.
In short, the name of the Ghost Race would likely disappear from the universe in the future.
At the Supreme Hall of Humanity.
Ye Tian was still recovering from his injuries. With the treatment from the Supreme Hall, the power of the Universal God within him was expelled, and with the help of various rare healing treasures, Ye Tian was almost fully healed.
At this time, he also learned about the annihilation of the Ghost Race, and the members of Tian Pavilion who were captured were successfully rescued by the City Lord of Tianlan.
âThis time, thanks to the Death Flower Queen and the Sea of Death Flowers, otherwise, I would have surely died!â
Ye Tian said gratefully.
To reward the Death Flower Queen, Ye Tian specifically purchased some treasures that were highly beneficial to plant life and bestowed them all to the Death Flower Queen, aiding its rapid growth in hopes of nurturing it to the Universal God realm as soon as possible.
