This life aperture was simply the most perfect divine ability for a two-headed ogre. It allowed him to eat, eat, and eat without restraint. Constantly devouring, anything and everything—nothing was off limits. He could even taste the flavors of metals and ores. For example, red copper ore tasted like chicken meat when eaten.Crunch, crunch!Even the talisman arrows just now had been delightfully crisp and refreshing—quite delicious, in fact.
"Fire again!!"
Without hesitation, the archers drew their bows once more and launched wave after wave of arrows. This time, they unleashed not only talisman arrows, but also bolts from the divine crossbows.The barrage was far denser than before, infused with powerful true qi, greatly increasing their destructive force.
"Tasty."
The two-headed ogre once again opened his mouth wide and swallowed the overwhelming hail of arrows and bolts. The scene was terrifying to behold. Even more chilling, he let out a satisfied sigh, as if reminiscing about the flavor.
"How interesting. He really dares to eat anything. Throw the rune bombs!"
Yi Tianxing set down the war drum's mallet. His eyes sharp, he gave a resolute command.
"Throw!!"
With that shout, numerous dark rune bombs were hurled through the air.Seeing them, the two-headed ogre didn't even flinch. He opened his mouth once more and swallowed them all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions erupted in his mouth—fiery light flashing wildly as the bombs detonated in unison. The force was overwhelming; even a top-tier Sea of Divine Origin cultivator would have been blown to pieces.Yet when the ogre shut his mouth, only a slight tilt of his jaw and some drool—no, blood—escaped his lips.And that was all.
"Tastes pretty good. Just a little spicy," the ogre commented casually, smiling grimly as his eyes turned even colder.
Before they realized it, he had already drawn dangerously close to the city wall—less than a hundred meters away. At his size, it would only take a few breaths for him to reach it and begin attacking. Once that happened, the wall could very well collapse under his massive blows.
"A mere wall dares to stop me?"
The two-headed ogre let out a mocking laugh and charged forward.
"You seek death? Then I'll grant it! We of the human race will not be humiliated! You foreign beasts think you can run rampant across the world? Today, I'll use your flesh and blood to forge the might of my Xuanhuang Town. Let all alien races learn to fear us!"
Yi Tianxing's gaze turned icy as he stared at the oncoming ogre and responded without mercy.
"Yin-Yang Shears—Kill!!"
A pair of black-and-white divine shears appeared above the battlefield.On their surface, countless tiny dragon scales shimmered, giving the illusion that two divine flood dragons—one black, one white—were slumbering within.
Roar!!
With a flash of light, the shears transformed into two flood dragons, their bodies emanating pure Yin and Yang energy.Their auras were palpable.
With two thunderous roars, the black and white dragons streaked through the sky, twisting in a deadly dance. Their speed was many times faster than when they had taken the form of serpents before. Black and white divine light flickered in their wake. In a flash, they reached the ogre.
So fast, the eye could not follow.
So fast, even the ogre sensed the scent of death. It was a deep, chilling fear that gripped him instantly.
"What are these? Dragons? I'll eat you!"
Startled, the ogre didn't hesitate. He opened his massive maw, turning it into a monstrous black hole, attempting to devour the two incoming dragons.
"Trying to devour my Yin-Yang Shears? Too naive."
Yi Tianxing smiled coldly.
These shears were no longer what they had been before. After the Immortal Tomb expedition, they had evolved from a Yellow-rank to a Profound-rank divine ability—a fundamental transformation. Their power now was on an entirely different level.When they were Yellow-rank, perhaps they could have been swallowed. But now, at Profound-rank, they were deadly weapons—no longer prey, but predators.
One Yin, one Yang, tails intertwined,Primordial forge of black and white combined.Male and female in cosmic flow,Life and death in a single blow.
In the sky, a mysterious chant seemed to echo.
Crack!!
The black and white dragons crossed paths and slashed at the ogre's enormous mouth.With a crack like the splitting of heaven and earth, the mouth was severed.Blood sprayed into the air.
"Aaaah! My head!!"
The ogre screamed in agony. One of his heads had been cleanly sliced off. The brain inside was exposed—destroyed.
It was a terrifying sight.
Had he not had two heads, that single strike might have been fatal.
"What terrifying divine power. It even cut through my own power... Impressive. But you can't kill me. I am... immortal!"
The ogre sneered. A flash of blood-red light surged over his body. Before their eyes, the severed head began to regrow at a visible rate.In seconds, it was completely restored.A horrifying sight.
"If once is not enough, I'll kill you again."
Yi Tianxing frowned but launched another attack without hesitation.
The Yin-Yang Shears reappeared in the air, transforming again into black and white dragons that shot toward the ogre's waist with even greater speed.
Crack!!
They sliced across his midsection.
But suddenly, divine light erupted. A gruesome white bone armor emerged from the ogre's flesh. On its surface were lifelike images of vicious beasts and monsters. It exuded a radiant, ominous glow.The Yin-Yang Shears struck it but produced only a crisp sound—unable to penetrate.All they managed was a small crack.
"Hmph. Just a divine ability? You think you can break my Bone Armor? Break!!"
The ogre laughed and stepped forward, arriving at the city wall. He raised his massive spiked club and slammed it down.
Rumble!!
Talismans appeared along the wall, glowing gold and forming defensive barriers.But one by one, they shattered under the force of his blows.
The club struck the wall directly.
The shockwaves were immense.
A large portion of the wall shook violently. If not for the dense vines growing within the structure that gave it extra strength, it would have already collapsed into rubble.
"This isn't good. This ogre's power is insane. If he keeps attacking, the wall won't last!"
"Fall back! Scatter left and right! Use arrows and divine crossbows—kill him!"
Defenders atop the wall scrambled to the sides. Arrows and bolts rained down in response.But the ogre ignored them all. Not even his armor was scratched.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The massive club smashed into the wall again and again.Cracks spread like spiderwebs at an alarming rate.
"Die!!"
Yi Tianxing's voice rang cold and clear.
As his words fell, a mysterious ancient mirror appeared in the air—one side black, the other white—rotating in midair, swirling with Yin and Yang.
A beam of black light shot from the mirror and enveloped the ogre.
"What is this?!"
The ogre's eyes widened in shock.It was too late to dodge.
As the black light touched him, a wave of soul-freezing cold flooded his body. The chill came from deep within—from his very soul—and spread in an instant.
"Not good!!"
The thought had barely formed in his mind before he felt the life force drain from his body.Gone. Just like that.
Without another sound, the massive ogre collapsed.
Dead.No signs of life. No resistance.Just—dead.
"How... how did this happen? That was a powerful foreign race warrior! Even if he wasn't in the Life Aperture Realm, he was certainly a top-tier Sea of Divine Origin expert. With incredible talent! How did he just drop dead?!"
"It was that mirror! That black light came from the mirror, and then the ogre just... died. What is that? A divine ability or a magical treasure?"
Everyone had been considering ways to kill the ogre. No one expected him to suddenly drop dead. Quietly. Without warning.No one could even understand how he died.
"Profound-rank Yin-Yang Mirror— you didn't disappoint me," Yi Tianxing said to himself as he gazed at the lifeless corpse."Among those of the same rank, unless they have a special divine ability, they cannot withstand the power of the Yin-Yang Mirror.Even a chieftain of the ogres... must die."
