If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 772 The only chance

On the altar, the Dark God standing in front of the black pillar of energy suddenly turned his head to look. Immediately afterward, thousands of followers of the Dark God Cult also turned their heads to look, witnessing a sword light rushing towards them.

As the sword light dissipated, Li Ya's figure was revealed, and he swung his sword to strike.

A sword aura struck like a startled swan, so fast that the followers of the Dark God Cult had no time to react, and the Dark God did not stop it.

boom!
The sword energy struck the black column of energy and dissipated without causing any damage.

Li Ya, dressed in black, hovered in the air. His expression remained unchanged upon seeing this scene.

"Sword God Li Ya, we meet again. You refused my offer of enlistment. Do you still wish to become my enemy this time?"

The Dark God looked at Li Ya from afar and asked, his tone indifferent and devoid of any emotion.

Li Ya calmly said, "Those who walk different paths cannot work together. You are invaders. From the moment you stepped into this vast world, you were destined to be my enemies."

The Dark God said nothing more, but simply waved his hand. In an instant, dozens of figures shot up like arrows, heading straight for Li Ya.

A great battle has broken out!
Li Ya was surrounded in an instant. These members of the Dark God Cult were all renowned cultivators and powerful demons, each with extraordinary abilities. Even with his unparalleled sword intent, Li Ya quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

As soon as the battle began, powerful figures arrived to provide support, drawing more and more members of the Dark God Cult into the fight.

Qi Tian Xian Sheng Zhen Jun looked at the chaotic battle in the sky and hesitated whether to rush up.

"If you make a move now, there will truly be no turning back later," the Demon Emperor suddenly said.

The Great Sage Qitian turned to look at him. The magical power in the sky collided and burst out with strong light, making the expressions of the two demons shift between light and shadow.

"Turn back? Why turn back? The God of Darkness is about to descend. Do you want to betray us? Isn't that courting death?" Qi Tian Xian Sheng Zhen Jun asked with a frown.

The Demon Emperor shifted his gaze to him, his eyes deep and unfathomable, making the Great Sage Equal to Heaven feel inexplicably uneasy.

"You...you wouldn't want to..." Qi Tian Xian Sheng Zhen Jun looked at the Demon Emperor in shock and asked in a trembling voice.

The Demon Emperor said expressionlessly, "Qi Tian, ​​you once had ambitions. Do you really want to become a walking corpse who endures and yields for the sake of survival?"

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven gritted his teeth and said, "Now... it's too late!"

The Demon Emperor looked at the black pillar of energy and said nothing more.

at the same time.

In the void of the universe, before the gate of the boundary.

The Heavenly Spirit God, the Immortal Lord Taiyi, the Heavenly Emperor, the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jindong, and other beings are on high alert.

“Once the Dark God descends, we must take action!” Immortal Lord Taiyi said in a deep voice.

The gods and immortals remained resolute and did not refute. They could not even fight against the Dark God, let alone stop him. But as gods and immortals, they had to step forward, even if it meant death.

Taiyi Immortal Lord stared intently at the top of the void, where a black hole appeared, filled with terrifying black energy, as if a horrific being was about to descend.

It didn't take long.

Taiyi Immortal Lord's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "They've arrived!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward first, followed closely by the other immortals and gods, each displaying their full power, as they intended to teleport directly to the front of the black hole.

However, during the maneuver, an unimaginable pressure enveloped them, causing them to stop instantly and become unable to move.

Taiyi Immortal Lord's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, his physical body exploded and turned to ashes. The other immortals and gods also perished one after another.

They were all instantly killed!

On the other side. In the human world.

The sky above the altar was covered by rolling dark clouds, the sea of ​​clouds churning and forming a vortex.

Li Ya, who was engaged in fierce battle, looked up and realized that something was wrong. He unleashed his strongest sword intent, trying to break through the encirclement, but was blocked by a golden pagoda.

This golden pagoda was hundreds of feet tall, constantly emitting soul-stirring golden light, and it also sealed off the surrounding space, preventing Li Ya from breaking through in a short period of time.

Just as he was being held back, powerful enemies attacked from all sides, forcing him to defend.

The beings fighting on the scene were all free immortals and Daoist free immortals. Their battle caused the entire world to tremble, but the altar below remained unmoved, appearing incredibly sturdy.

Tian Yao'er and Tian Bai also led Wu Shi's disciples into battle, but the number of Dark God Cult members coming to support them increased so much that they couldn't get close to the altar at all.

The Dark God, standing before the black pillar of energy, surveyed all directions, seemingly enjoying the futile resistance of the living beings.

boom--

The black column of energy behind him suddenly expanded, and a fierce wind swept through, pushing back the cultists on the altar who had not yet made a move.

The Demon Emperor and the Great Sage Qitian glided for more than ten miles before finally regaining their footing.

"coming!"

The Great Sage Qitian stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in surprise.

The other followers also looked nervously at the black pillar of energy behind the Dark God. Even though they had joined the Dark God Cult, they still felt fear and tension in the face of the impending arrival of the Dark God.

A terrifying pressure far surpassing that of the Dark God descended, instantly halting the chaotic battle in the sky. All living beings, as well as members of the Dark God Cult, stopped fighting. They turned their heads with difficulty, their gazes falling on the black pillar of energy.

At that moment, everyone felt the breath of death, a sense that they might be reduced to ashes at any moment.

Gradually, everyone began to descend; they were suppressed and forced to fall.

Li Ya gritted his teeth, trying to resist the oppressive force, but he simply couldn't.

As soon as his feet touched the altar, the oppressive force surged, causing his expression to change drastically, and his knees slammed directly onto the altar.

Not only him, but all the other beings were the same. Whether they landed on the altar or not, as long as they landed, they were all forced to kneel down, supporting themselves with their hands on the ground, staring incredulously at the black pillar of energy.

The diameter of the black column of gas continued to expand, eventually resembling a black curtain hanging between heaven and earth, making even the Dark God seem insignificant in its presence.

"call……"

A heavy breathing sound rang out, making all living beings uneasy.

The Great Sage Qitian, kneeling on the ground, stared wide-eyed, his pupils trembling, as a skeleton gradually emerged from the black pillar of energy.

This was a skeleton larger than a mountain, its enormous form visible from all over the continent. When it stepped out from the black pillar of energy, the terrifying pressure vanished instantly, and the entire world fell silent.

Li Ya tried to get up, but found that he still couldn't.

Even though there was no oppressive force enveloping his body, he was unable to stand up, as if his body no longer belonged to him. This feeling was extremely strange and made him even more terrified.

He gazed up at the towering skeleton of the God of Darkness, his heart filled with helplessness.

Such an existence is beyond his ability to contend with.

"I am giving you one chance, your only chance. Who is willing to sacrifice themselves so that this world can continue to exist?"

A cold voice rang out, clearly reaching the ears of every living being on the continent.
