BOOM!
A column of flame shot out of Lord Wu Yue’s eyes and hit the Deathwraith ship.
The flame’s temperature was dozens of times higher than the Emperor-level Divine Purification Flame that Zhang Ruochen had cultivated.
Zhang Ruochen’s Divine Purification Flame was only at level 10,000, comparable to a star’s surface temperature. The fire from Lord Wu Yue’s eyes was above level 300,000.
It could be said that under such a level of fire, a Supreme Saint below the Paramount Realm would be turned into ashes instantly.
It was not that Zhang Ruochen’s Divine Purification Flame was not strong enough, but that Lord Wu Yue’s cultivation was countless times stronger than his. There were more than 100 billion Precepts of Fire in Lord Wu Yue’s body, which was ten times more than all the precepts added by Zhang Ruochen.
The 36 yin flags on the Deathwraith ship shone brightly.
The light of the inscriptions of the array on the flags interweaved and formed a defensive shield with a diameter of 500 kilometers.
Boom
Two pillars of fire hit the defensive shield. The space shook violently and showed signs of distortion.
The Deathwraith ship shook slightly.
The Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor, who stood at the bow, laughed loudly. “This is the famous top Lord of Destiny from the Fane of Destiny. I want your pair of void-devouring fire eyes now!”
Under his thousand-mile-long hair, the two ghost eyes opened, and two columns of flame light surged out.
What was different was that the flame that surged out of Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor’s eyes was the Grim Soul-devouring Flame. Its temperature was extremely low, and it was extremely evil and dark green in color.
Even standing ten thousand miles away, all the spiritual-power masters could feel the yin coldness of the Grim Soul-devouring Flame, and their bodies trembled slightly.
When Lord Xia Yu cultivated the Grim Soul-devouring Flame, compared to the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor, it was like a candle flame compared to a sea of fire.
However, when Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor’s two Grim Soul-devouring Flames collided with the flame light pillar in the eyes of Lord Wu Yue, they were instantly defeated. With no other choice, the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor could only open his third and fourth ghost eyes.
A total of seven ghost eyes were opened. Only then did the energy released by the Grim Soul-devouring Flame finally reach a stalemate with Lord Wu Yue.
Shang Yue’s gaze turned solemn. She exclaimed, “The nine ghost eyes of the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor were cultivated using the Grim Soul-devouring Flame and the nine divine planets. I didn’t expect Lord Wu Yue to be so strong. The Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor needs to use the power of the seven eyes to fight against him.”
The Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor was the leader of the League of Ourang Celeste, and he was one of the top figures in the dark forces. In Shang Yue’s eyes, such a figure could be said to be a lofty mountain.
Duan Lingfeng sneered, “You only know the superficial level of Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor’s strength. The Grim Soul-devouring Flame of Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor had long reached the ninth heaven. After he refined the nine divine planets into eyeballs, he could use the divine power contained in the divine planets to unleash the Grim Soul-devouring Flame to the level of higher knowledge.”
“There are not many Saint-level cultivators in Celestial Court and Infernal Court who can catch his nine eyes.”
Shang Yue said, “It’s said that the nine divine planets he refined are the complete star soul planets of a divine?”
Duan Lingfeng nodded and said, “That’s right. It’s precisely because the nine divine planets are of the same origin that the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor is so powerful.”
“Isn’t the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor comparable to a pseudo god?” Shang Yue said, shocked.
Duan Lingfeng shook his head. He said, “The divine power in the nine divine star souls has already been exhausted. Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor only relies on the formation, the Godstones, and his profound cultivation base to activate it. Furthermore, the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor has not refined the divine star souls of the gods that belong to the nine divine planets. Naturally, he is not considered a pseudo god.”
“How big is the gap between a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint and a pseudo god?” Shang Yue asked curiously.
Duan Lingfeng thought carefully and said, “In this world, anyone who can fight against a pseudo god in the Paramount Realm can be considered a representative figure of the Yuanhui period.
“As far as I know, in the entire Celestial Court and Infernal Court, only Wuma Jiuxing barely reached that level. As for Yuan Qianmo and Lord Dong Hua of the Celestial Court, although they are very famous, their achievements are far from Wuma Jiuxing’s glory. It is difficult to judge their actual strength.
“You only need to know that powerhouses at the level of the Ten Wraithions can’t even withstand a single strike from Wuma Jiuxing. Therefore, your current cultivation level is like an ant looking at the sky.”
The nine ghost eyes of the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor opened simultaneously. In the nine eyes, there was the sea of stars and the orbits of the sun and moon. The power that erupted forced back Lord Wu Yue.
“Destiny Halberd.”
Lord Wu Yue summoned the Supreme Artifact of the Destiny Division and activated the Supreme Power in the halberd. Instantly, the energy of heaven and earth within tens of thousands of miles gathered toward him.
Over a thousand lightning bolts revolved around the Destiny Halberd.
The halberd stabbed out, and all the lightning bolts followed.
With a boom, the defensive formation of the Deathwraith ship was broken through. Lord Wu Yue opened up his cloak and charged toward the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor.
Duan Lingfeng frowned and said, “Not good. The Deathwraith ship’s defenses have been broken. Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor is no match for Lord Wu Yue.”
“How is that possible? I see that the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor has always had the upper hand. The power of the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor is only one of his moves. Moreover, the League of Ourang Celeste must have also brought along a Supreme Artifact.” Shang Yue was a little puzzled.
Duan Lingfeng shook his head, “You underestimate Lord Wu Yue. As far as I know, his Paramount physique is formed from 12 trillion precepts. In addition, he is at the Paramount Realm and has been cultivated for many years. His accumulation has reached a level unimaginable by ordinary Paramount Realm Supreme Saints. Otherwise, why would he be number one among the ten great Lords of Destiny?”
Shang Yue’s cultivation reached the Banshi Isshou Realm. She was already beginning to understand the mysteries of the Paramount physique.
According to what she knew, the Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint only needed to cultivate one trillion precepts to condense a Paramount physique and break through to the Paramount Realm. She had only read legends and ancient books about cultivators who cultivated twelve trillion precepts and condensed a Paramount physique.
She could not help but tremble when she thought of how Lord Wu Yue was such a legendary existence. It was a form of respect for the strong.
Lord Ironclad stood not far away with a mournful look in his eyes.
He had cultivated over one trillion precepts and was once a member of the Nether Berserkers of the Nether Hall. It was a pity that he suffered an injury that could not be healed on the Battlefield of Merits. As a result, he would never be able to form a Paramount physique and step into the Paramount Realm.
Perhaps, he would only have a chance to recover if he found the Fane of Origin.
As expected, the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor retreated immediately after dozens of rounds of fighting with Lord Wu Yue. He could barely fight against Lord Wu Yue with the array formation on the Deathwraith ship.
…
At the furnace, far from the battlefield
Gong Nanfeng opened his clear eyes and said seriously, “As expected, after another round of prediction, a variable appeared.”
“What variable?” Pan Ruo asked.
Gong Nanfeng shook his head and said, “There is a mighty existence that has deceived the heavenly secrets. I can’t predict it. I can only vaguely see a trace of destiny. ”
“Ordinary gods can’t deceive the prediction of the Overseer of Divination Destiny,” Pan Ruo said.
Gong Nanfeng let out a long sigh. “I’ve told you before that I’m too weak. I should have let Xu Rulai do it this time. He’s stronger.”
Fortune Palace’s High Priest, squinting his eyes, suddenly seemed to have woken up. He said, “I’ve also made some predictions just now and found that something has happened in Enchanton.”
He stared at the Death Palace’s High Priest and smiled. “Your people don’t seem to be reliable.”
The Anger Palace’s High Priest snorted and had a strong opinion. He said, “It’s ridiculous for the Fane of Destiny to cooperate with the Enchanteur Chamber. You should have listened to me from the beginning and sent the army to crush them. Who dares to compete with the Fane of Destiny for the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?”
“This is Hoth. Is the Fane of Destiny sending the army to ignore the presence of the Hoth Emperor?”
The Death Palace’s High Priest said coldly and asked again, “What happened?”
“Someone used a talisman and destroyed Enchanton,” Fortune Palace’s High Priest said.
Death Qi appeared in the Death Palace’s High Priest’s eyes. He suppressed his anger and asked calmly, “Who did this?”
“It seems to be the Heavenly Realm,” Fortune Palace’s High Priest said.
“Where’s Zhang Ruochen?” asked the Death Palace’s High Priest. “Where’s the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?”
Fortune Palace’s High Priest shook his head slightly. “Zhang Ruochen is a young talent favored by the Lord Reverend,” he said. “He’s being nurtured as the future pillar of the Infernal Court. He’s also the most important link between the Infernal Court and God’s Ancient Nidus. If he dies, you can’t shirk your responsibility.”
Anger Palace’s High Priest said again, “It is a big mistake to hand over such a thing as a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin to the Enchanteur Chamber.”
The Death Palace’s High Priest said, “Isn’t it enough that Zhuo Yunong is in charge of the Enchanton? Everyone agreed to it when we made the plan.”
“You swore that the Fane of Destiny could capture all the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and the top powerhouses of the ten major dark forces simultaneously. But now? Enchanton was destroyed, and Zhang Ruochen might have already fallen. It’s all because you put too much trust in that woman from the Enchanteur Chamber, and you’re too conceited,” said Anger Palace’s High Priest.
When the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin appeared, the higher-ups of the Fane of Destiny held a meeting.
At that time, the Death Palace’s High Priest had offered to take all the superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin with the help of the Enchanteur Chamber. He had even planned to use the Tensho Compass to lure out the powerhouses of the ten major dark forces and the Celestial Court powerhouse hiding in the Infernal Court and destroy them in one fell swoop.
The Death Palace’s High Priest said, “The Avīci Pavilion killed the last Scioness in the Divine Domain of Destiny. Wuma Jiuxing of the Pneuma Hall defeated Zhuo Yunong, the number one powerhouse of the Celestial Court, and killed five Wraithions in a row. The prestige of the Fane of Destiny has suffered an unprecedented blow.
“If we don’t destroy the ten major dark forces, won’t the Fane of Destiny become the laughingstock of the Celestial Court?
“If we don’t cooperate with the Enchantuer Chamber, how can we lure out the powerhouses of the ten major dark forces?”
Pan Ruo said, “Everyone, it’s meaningless to argue now. I think we should do our best to end the battle here and rush to Enchanton. Although we must destroy the ten major dark forces, the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin is more important.”
Although Pan Ruo’s cultivation was still very weak, it was a pity that her status was there, so no one could ignore her words.
The Ominous Palace’s High Priest, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and looked at one of the directions, saying, “I sensed that someone is spying in the dark. Is he trying to be one step ahead of us?”
The high priests stopped arguing and became vigilant.
They knew that the top powerhouses of the Fane of Destiny and the ten major dark forces were here, but they still dared to approach and spy. They were definitely not weaklings.
“Could it be a cultivator of the Celestial Court hiding in the Infernal Court?” said Fortune Palace’s High Priest.
The Ominous Palace’s High Priest formed a finger seal with his hands and made a mysterious finger gesture. Instantly, the space in front of him broke open, and a ghost mask flew out. Behind the ghost mask, dense yin qi surged out and condensed into a giant ghost general that was a thousand meters tall.
“The Divine Ghost Mask. Reverend Ominous actually gave this treasure to him.”
All the cultivators present looked fearful.
“The Divine Ghost Mask was originally intended to deal with Wuma Jiuxing. Now, we can only test its power in advance.”
The Ominous Palace’s High Priest smiled and channeled his spiritual energy to the best of his ability. Immediately, the giant ghost general with the ghost mask charged into the sky and pressed its palm against the black clouds.
At this moment, all the top-notch Supreme Saints fighting could feel the terrifying power that the giant Ghost general was exuding. They were all shocked.
Just as all the cultivators thought that the clouds would be pierced through…
The dark clouds suddenly turned into seven colors. They were extremely brilliant, like a divine flower blooming.
A faint fragrance of flowers appeared within tens of thousands of miles.
It was the scent of begonias.
Zhang Ruochen, standing on Genbu’s divine corpse, was extremely shocked. He said, “How… how is this possible?”
He wasn’t the only one. Countless cultivators were stunned.
Reverend Ominous couldn’t believe it. The giant ghost general hadn’t been able to break through the clouds. It had been blocked by colorful light.
Who was it?
Who had such strong power?
Whoosh
A dazzling sword light came from the sky like the aurora.
Tens of thousands of miles of clouds were broken by the sword, forming a 100,000-mile-long sword path.
The giant divine general and the Divine Ghost Mask fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground.
A more than 20,000 meters long red stone sword pierced through its chest and abdomen, suppressing it under the sword.
The land under the sword sank with a rumble.
The top saints who were fighting were shocked and stopped one by one. They were curious about which side’s powerhouse had come?
Zhang Ruochen’s heart almost jumped out at the mountain-like stone sword. “Wordless Sword Manual.”
The Wordless Sword Manual was stored on the seventh level of the Sword Pavilion. It wasn’t a book, but a stone sword. It was as big as a mountain.
Who could activate it?
The dust dispersed.
Everyone finally saw clearly. A man with long hair stood at the top of the 20,000-meter-tall stone sword. He had a human head and a snake body. His body glowed with silver light. Evil Qi swirled around him. His gaze seemed to look down on the world.
Zhang Ruochen’s throat felt dry. “Xue Lingxian.”
The colorful clouds in the sky dispersed. An old woman with white hair stood in the air. She was dressed in red and had a hunched back. Her body exuded a powerful qi and an ancient charm as if she had lived for countless years. She was even older than a god.
With her appearance, begonia petals fell from the sky and turned into a rain of flowers.
“Granny Begonia.”
Zhang Ruochen finally understood why Xue Lingxian could use the Wordless Sword Manual as a weapon!
