Chapter 736 - 518: Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber
On the ground, divine power surged like a river bursting its banks; wherever it passed, the void shattered, the earth sank, and chains of order broke.
This was an apocalyptic scene, where even a Great Saint powerhouse might not survive.
At the very center, the place where a small cauldron and a small tower erupted, had long transformed into a black hole, devouring the essence qi from all directions and shattering the Great Dao.
"Immediately notify the family, Wei Ran is dead!" Wang Chuanqi shouted, his face flushed as he forcibly suppressed his injuries.
To maximize the power of the heavy artifact, they launched it at close range, and the destructive force unleashed also affected them.
From this scene, he did not believe Wei Ran could survive.
Having slain a strong suspect of being the successor of the Martial Emperor’s influence, their family needed to prepare for the worst, handling it as if he were a true heir of the Martial Emperor’s influence.
"Wait... something’s not right!"
Wang Chuanfeng’s pupils suddenly contracted as he saw, in the center where it was like a black hole, a figure covered in golden light slowly floating upwards.
His long hair fluttered, dancing with the wind, and his body was as if cast from gold. The dazzling golden light isolated the divine power surging around, not harming him in the slightest.
Vaguely, these golden lights seemed to form the phantom of a large bell.
"Wei Ran?" Wang Chuanqi’s eyes almost popped out, his expression changed drastically.
Two heavy artifacts struck, and yet he still survived.
"He must have an Imperial Soldier protecting him!"
Besides an Imperial Soldier, Wang Chuanfeng couldn’t think of anything else that could protect a Dharma Martial Saint from surviving the strike of a heavy artifact.
"Even with an Imperial Soldier, after resisting the strike of two heavy artifacts, he is already at the end of his strength. We, two Great Saints, plus two Dharma Martial Saints, can still kill him."
In the distance, the lagging two Dharma Martial Saints were almost there, and Wang Chuanqi roared loudly, immediately drawing the power of the Great Path to strike across the air at the figure enveloped in golden light.
The Wang Family also had Martial Emperor Divine Soldiers and knew that it couldn’t last when a Saint Realm powerhouse activated an Imperial Soldier. While the aftershocks of the heavy artifacts were still in effect, there was still a chance to kill Wei Ran.
"Wang Chuanfeng, one of the Wang Family’s Great Saint powerhouses!"
In the golden light, Wei Fan’s eyes surged, recognizing Wang Chuanfeng among them. Lu Shun’an’s intelligence included Wang Chuanfeng’s portrait; he had already surpassed eight hundred years since breaking into the Great Saint Realm.
"There indeed are hidden Great Saint powerhouses."
As for the other, Wang Chuanqi, he did not recognize him, evidently a hidden Great Saint powerhouse of the Martial Emperor Clan.
But it didn’t matter that he didn’t recognize him; the system had already provided a hint.
[Wang Chuanqi: Great Saint Realm, fallen into Demon Dao, cultivating Demon Skill]
[Kill him, and gain 500,000 years of ordinary power, 6,300 years of Martial Saint’s power]
He hadn’t moved far from the mining site, just wanting to see if the Wang Family would send experts, though he had secret artifacts made from Taiyin Divine Jade, he didn’t believe he could really hide his tracks; the Martial Emperor Family’s methods were something no one could see through.
Accumulating for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, you simply wouldn’t know how many incredible methods they had.
So, though in seclusion, he still hid the Ten Thousand Dao Bell beneath his skin to protect himself.
"Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber!"
Wang Chuanfeng shouted, his hands moving rapidly, drawing profound paths, and the Martial Emperor’s Secret Technique in his hands burst with divine radiance of tens of thousands of feet.
"Then let me see another ultimate skill of the Wang Family!"
Seeing this, Wei Fan paused his original attack on Wang Chuanfeng and Wang Chuanqi.
Because in the intelligence given by Lu Shun’an, mention was made of the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber, this Martial Emperor’s Secret Technique.
This is another important secret technique of the Wang Family, comparable to the Ancestral Emperor’s True Body. Its power exceeds even the Ancestral Emperor’s True Body.
The Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber is precisely the Imperial Soldier left by the ancestor of Wang Family’s Martial Emperor.
However, the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber is not a secret technique that summons the power of the Wang Family’s Imperial Soldier, as that has been taken by the Dragon Battle Martial Emperor and sealed up; the Wang Family can no longer use the power of the Imperial Soldier.
The Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber, this secret technique, is actually a metamorphosis through a secret technique to create an Imperial Soldier—Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber, using the phantom of the Imperial Soldier to kill the enemy.
Every Imperial Soldier once dominated the world, with the mark of law long branded between heaven and earth. If one could comprehend and display it, forming a secret technique, it was almost equivalent to wielding an Imperial Soldier.
However, such a secret technique, besides the creator of the Imperial Soldier, virtually no one could create.
Thus, such secret techniques are generally created by the powerful individuals who crafted the Imperial Soldiers, then passed down to disciples or descendants, becoming one of the clan’s secret techniques.
Of course, even Saint Realm powerhouses, even those at the extreme of the Great Saint Realm, cannot truly comprehend all the law marks of an Imperial Soldier, so its full potential can’t be unleashed by a Saint Realm powerhouse. It’s impossible to truly recreate all the law marks of an Imperial Soldier.
The power of this secret technique should be second only to secret techniques that summon the power of an Imperial Soldier.
Of course, if cultivated by an exceptionally talented prodigy, it might even allow this secret technique’s power to surpass the secret techniques that summon the power of an Imperial Soldier.
The secret techniques summoning the power of an Imperial Soldier have an upper limit, but the power of a secret technique like this one is said to have no upper limit; its power depends on the comprehension of the cultivator.
Wei Fan had never witnessed such a Secret Technique before and naturally did not want to obliterate Wang Chuanfeng instantly; he wanted to see just how powerful this evolution of the Imperial Secret Technique truly was.
"Boom...boom..."
Wang Chuanfeng’s entire body surged with Dao Power, appearing like an ocean around him, causing the heavens and earth to lose color and tremble.
As his hands danced, several Great Daos were drawn out, and radiant Dao Runes filled the sky. Within the intertwining Laws and Chains of Order, a shadow of a matchless Divine Saber appeared, woven together.
This was the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber!
Of course, this was not the true Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber, but merely an imperial soldier imprint interwoven with Laws and Dao Runes. The real Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber was still in the hands of the Dragon Battle Martial Emperor.
Wang Chuanfeng’s forehead veins bulged, and his entire body’s Dao Power poured into the shadow of the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber as if a dam had burst. For a Great Saint Powerhouse, evolving an Imperial Soldier with one’s own strength was by no means a simple task.
Wei Fan could sense a trace of Emperor’s Aura, but it was very faint. Clearly, with Wang Chuanfeng’s Comprehension, he couldn’t even evolve one ten-thousandth of the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber’s divine form.
Nonetheless, this move was terrifying. In an instant, heaven and earth collapsed, and Chaos Qi permeated the air.
"Very strong, but difficult to execute in battle!"
Wei Fan instantly saw the flaws of this Exotic Technique: it took too long to cast. If he didn’t create some distance, the imperial soldier shadow wouldn’t have evolved fully before the enemy could attack several times.
If he weren’t interested in seeing the mystery of this technique, he could have killed Wang Chuanfeng several times over by now.
At the same time, his hands were also dancing, using a Secret Technique to guide the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell. At the moment the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber took shape, he launched an attack.
"He has already guided in the Emperor’s Soldier power, how is this possible?"
Both Wang Chuanfeng and Wang Chuanqi felt their scalps tingling. Guiding the power of an Emperor’s Soldier took a long time, which was why they engaged their heavy artifacts immediately upon finding an enemy; to deny the enemy the time to summon imperial soldier power.
But in such a short time, Wei Ran had already guided in the power of an Emperor’s Soldier. The terrifying ripple collapsed heaven and earth, even causing the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber imprint they evolved to falter and nearly disintegrate, with Dao Runes dimming, and Chains of Order rapidly breaking.
"Flee!"
In shock, the only thought in their hearts was to run. How could Martial Emperor Secret Techniques contend with the power of an Emperor’s Soldier? Even a sliver of something imbued with the Martial Emperor’s essence was not something a Martial Saint could withstand.
Even though he had now cast the Martial Emperor’s strongest Secret Technique and evolved the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber, under the power of an Emperor’s Soldier, it was a dead end, incapable of contending with the Emperor’s Soldier power.
He wasn’t even thinking of using the evolved Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber because he knew it was useless; what he had evolved couldn’t contend with the power of an Emperor’s Soldier.
Space and time seemed pierced, even in the eternally dark Void World, a passage appeared. The power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell unleashed by Wei Fan, through this passage, instantly blasted onto Wang Chuanfeng and Wang Chuanqi.
"Splat..."
The two Great Saint level powerhouses had the thought to flee, but before they had time to escape, they were wiped out in an instant, erased from existence without leaving a trace.
Any law imprint of the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber also shattered instantly.
The Great Dao roared and was successively penetrated by the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, collapsing and dissipating, leaving the world in ruins.
[Slayed Wang Chuanqi, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 6,300 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Slayed Wang Chuanfeng, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 7,600 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 5,890,000 years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 13,900 years]
Wang Chuanfeng’s realm clearly surpassed Wang Chuanqi by a significant margin, with Daoist Level over ten thousand feet high. Yet under the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, they were like ants, with both Great Saint powerhouses erased in an instant.
"Boom...Boom!"
Two Dao, one over ten thousand feet high, and the other seven thousand feet high, appeared together, piercing through heaven and earth, visible even thousands of miles away as they soared into the sky.
"Wang Chuanfeng and Wang Chuanqi have been slain!"
In Yanggu City, countless people felt a chill as so many Saint Realms of the Martial Emperor Family, the Wang Family, had been killed in a day.
Wang Chuanfeng and Wang Chuanqi hadn’t been here long before falling, with both Great Saint powerhouses slain almost simultaneously.
The Saint Dao shattered, powers swept across the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, suppressing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Dao. Yanggu City was somewhat affected but not severely.
Someone tremblingly took out a Jade Token for messaging, to spread this shocking news; they all had a premonition that the Wang Family was in huge trouble, otherwise so many Saint Realm powerhouses wouldn’t have fallen consecutively.
The main thing was everyone knew the Wang Family had offended the Dragon Battle Martial Emperor, and the Martial Emperor Divine Soldier had long been taken by the Dragon Battle Martial Emperor. With such a powerhouse offended, the likelihood of the Wang Family’s annihilation was significant.
Once the Wang Family was wiped out, the power structures and resources of the Xining Continent would have to be reshuffled. Such news had to be spread quickly.
"The two ancestors have been slain, how is it possible..."
Two Martial Saints of the Wang Family’s Jin generation were still racing, only to witness the Dao Collapse of Wang Chuanfeng and Wang Chuanqi, their faces showing disbelief. Did the two not use the heavy artifact to suppress Wei Ran immediately?
"Run, if we go, it’s death!"
Without hesitation, the two turned and fled towards Yanggu City.
