Chapter 741 - 523: Charging into Guiyun Mountain
"Heavy artifact? How many heavy artifacts does your Wang family still have!"
Wei Fan surged forward like a thunderbolt, ascending against the dazzling divine light. Wang Chuanxuan had no idea that his secret technique for channeling the power of the Guiding Emperor’s Soldier was fundamentally different from typical Martial Emperor powers; the Ten Thousand Dao Bell was actually on him.
No matter how many heavy artifacts the Wang family unleashed, he remained undaunted. Even if the power of the Bell Attraction couldn’t destroy the Martial Emperor Array, at worst, he would unleash the Ten Thousand Dao Bell itself to annihilate the Wang family.
Furthermore, the Wang family’s heavy artifacts were unlikely to be abundant; crafting such items required not only a massive quantity of divine objects but also could take Great Saint powerhouses hundreds of years to refine. Even if they could sacrifice time for crafting, the Wang family needed sufficient divine objects.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
He waved his hands, guiding the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, and immediately terrifying fluctuations radiated outwards, sweeping three heavy artifacts mid-air and detonating them directly.
Divine energy surged, the destructive power shot into the sky, the mountains were submerged in divine light, ten thousand Daos boiled in the world, Dao Runes glittered brightly, and the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire were all blasted out, with Chaos Qi surging like a tide.
Even though Guiyun Mountain was at the Wang family’s ancestral land and had been infused by the Supreme Emperor’s will power, it was now sinking.
The Martial Emperor Array trembled, with ripples shimmering.
The fluctuations of the heavy artifacts and the Emperor’s Soldier clashed, once again backlashing on the Wang family, instantly draining countless Spirit Crystals of their essence, and the Wang family members frantically refilled the array with Spirit Crystals.
Of course, Wei Fan wasn’t unscathed; his heart spirit was equally shaken, almost causing the Dao Marks on his physical body to be exposed.
"How can you channel the power of the Emperor’s Soldier so quickly?"
Wang Chuanxuan’s expression was unpleasant. "Wei Ran’s" performance seemed as though he wasn’t simply channeling the Emperor’s Soldier’s power but had the Emperor’s Soldier itself on him.
Of course, he didn’t believe "Wei Ran" actually had the Emperor’s Soldier on him, as no faction would allow their disciples to casually carry such an artifact.
Moreover, if "Wei Ran" truly had the Emperor’s Soldier itself, there would be no need for such trouble. The power of the Emperor’s Soldier, even a sliver driven by a Saint Realm powerhouse, would be enough to level Guiyun Mountain.
The Wang family’s array was said to be a Martial Emperor Array, but it was laid out by an ancient ancestor tens of thousands of years ago; much of it had decayed and wasn’t a true Martial Emperor Array anymore.
"Does the Wang family have any other heavy artifacts? If you do, hurry up and use them; don’t say I didn’t give you a chance!" Wei Fan shouted.
"Killing you is enough!"
Numerous elders of the Wang family suppressed their turbulent Qi blood with unpleasant expressions; the Wang family certainly didn’t have an abundance of heavy artifacts.
Imperial Soldiers and Emperor’s Soldiers both had lifespans, so heavy artifacts were not a lasting solution, hence they couldn’t be endlessly crafted.
The Wang family’s heavy artifacts usually maintained a count of ten.
The one Wang Jinyi took to Yanggu City was killed before it could be used, Wang Chuanqi and Wang Chuanfeng used two more, and three were used just now, totaling six heavy artifacts already spent.
In their hands now, only four remained. If these four, together with the power of the Martial Emperor Array, couldn’t kill "Wei Ran", the Wang family might face extinction today.
Without hesitation, the last four heavy artifacts of the Wang family emitted terrifying fluctuations, once again blasting towards Wei Fan.
Now, it was a matter of who would endure longer. The Wang family didn’t believe Wei Fan could continuously channel the Emperor’s Soldier’s power. Once the Emperor’s Soldier’s power ceased to bolster him, without the Martial Emperor Array, any one of the Wang family’s Great Saints confidently believed they could kill him.
Wei Fan repeated his actions, once again from afar, detonating the four heavy artifacts and raising a golden shield around himself, isolating all the power outside.
"Is this the power of the Emperor’s Soldier? No wonder it allows Martial Emperor powers to dominate the world!"
All around, people marveled. The power unleashed in this battle could wipe out ten Great Saint powerhouses, yet Wei Fan, by channeling just a sliver of the Emperor’s Soldier’s power, seemed impervious, unharmed by any force.
Even the martial force strangulation of the Martial Emperor Array was bounced away by the Emperor’s Soldier’s fluctuations.
The Wang family members looked increasingly grim. Despite repeated heavy blows, Wei Ran showed no signs of fatigue, still charging forward, indicating he could still channel the Emperor’s Soldier’s power.
"This is impossible!"
Wang Chuanxuan shouted angrily. A mere Saint Realm powerhouse couldn’t possibly continuously channel the power of the Emperor’s Soldier. The Emperor’s Soldier was a supreme existence, comparable to Martial Emperor powerhouses; even a sliver of its power was enough to sweep the world.
Even if the power of the Emperor’s Soldier could be channeled because of Martial Emperor Secret Techniques, the burden was unimaginable, and multiple channelings would have destroyed an ordinary flesh and blood body by now.
Yet "Wei Ran" had channeled it three times consecutively and still appeared vigorous, as if the Emperor’s Soldier’s power hadn’t harmed his body or primordial spirit.
"Now it’s my turn!"
Wei Fan’s hair fluttered wildly, his entire body glowing, his secret technique unleashing brilliant light.
Terrifying waves raged like a storm, sweeping in all directions, forcing back the forces of the Martial Emperor Array, preventing them from approaching Wei Fan.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Heaven and earth trembled; Wei Fan, as if cradling the sun, forcefully hurled forward. The terrifying fluctuation of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell pierced through the strangulation forces of the Martial Emperor Array, forming a time-space channel, instantly striking the weak spot seen by the Martial Arts Celestial Eye.
Guiyun Mountain shook violently, the land for hundreds of miles around cracked open, mountains exploded, the earth vein’s energy was seized by the Martial Emperor Array.
"Boom!"
This time, a corner of the Martial Emperor Array was torn open, and part of the Emperor’s Soldier’s power blasted into Guiyun Mountain.
A towering mountain cloaked with dense array patterns shone with dazzling Dao Runes, carved with Dao Patterns, but when swept by the wave of the Emperor’s Soldier, the mountain was sliced in half and vanished without a sound, the Dao Runes unable to resist for even a moment, erased along with the mountain.
The backlash of power caused the rest of the mountain to explode, and the disciples of the Wang Family, who were infusing power into the Grand Array atop that peak, countless died in an instant, screams echoing, rocks tumbling.
Those who were still alive screamed in terror, while the truly dead didn’t have time to cry out.
"It’s broken through, a few more hits and the Wang Family will be destroyed!"
Among those watching from afar, someone shouted excitedly. The Wang Family was so domineering, being a Martial Emperor Clan, had oppressed many in Xining Continent, and it wasn’t just one or two who hoped for their destruction. Some were even contemplating helping Wei Ran at this critical moment to annihilate the Wang Family.
"It might not withstand a few more applications of the Emperor’s Soldier’s power; even an iron body can’t take it!"
Someone shook their head, also not optimistic about Wei Ran. He had already guided the power of the Emperor’s Soldier four times, a feat even Great Saint powerhouses might not achieve. Guiding so many times with his Dharma Martial Saint cultivation was already beyond imagination.
"Brute!"
Wang Family members’ eyes were about to burst from their sockets; in an instant, at least hundreds from the Wang Family died, many more were injured by the Emperor’s Soldier’s wave.
Everyone desperately infused power into the array, piles of Spirit Crystals were crushed to serve as the energy source of the Grand Array.
"Bastard, what on earth did my Wang Family do to offend you?"
Wang Chuanxuan roared in anger, his beard and hair stood on end, harboring an obsession to find out why Wei Ran held such a deep grudge against the Wang Family.
One must understand, a family like the Wang’s, even conservatively speaking, had a population of hundreds of thousands, and there were over a hundred thousand in the ancestral land alone. What kind of hatred could make someone determined to kill so many people?
As he spoke, he waved the Big Banner, all the array’s power turned into chains of order and surged out.
Wei Fan’s eyes darted across his panel without scrutinizing how many people had lost their power. He remained silent and once again activated the Bell Attraction, guiding the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell to continue bombarding the spot previously torn open.
That spot was originally a weak point of the Martial Emperor Array; after being breached once, and with the people in that position obliterated, the array patterns vanished, enlarging the weak point further. Another hit and the Martial Emperor Array would truly break.
Countless order chains were shattered, the space-time channel was blasted open again, and the Emperor’s Soldier’s power once more surged into Guiyun Mountain.
Numerous array patterns were obliterated, Dao Runes burst, the array space trembled, and the out-of-control power surged like a wave. Countless Wang Family members were reduced to ashes on the spot, unable to scream.
This time it wasn’t just one mountain that disappeared, but several, with chasm-like holes appearing on the ground.
"So ruthless!"
People all around inhaled sharply; in an instant, at least several thousand from the Wang Family died, countless were injured, even Saint Realm powerhouses spat blood, the Martial Emperor Array nearly collapsed, the energy shield cracked densely.
"Wei Ran’s talk of extermination wasn’t a joke, with a single strike killing thousands without even a blink."
"Well done, such a family that doesn’t protect the Human Race, only sucking its blood, destroying it is actually good for us."
Few had sympathy for the Wang Family; more applauded. Only those in Xining Continent knew that several times Demon Fiends almost breached their defenses, and the Wang Family stubbornly refused to send anyone to resist. Many had long wished for the Wang Family’s demise.
They hoarded the most resources yet refused to protect the Human Race. Such a family, better to be destroyed, and the resources given to those who truly protect the Race.
"The Dragon Battle Martial Emperor doomed the Wang Family!"
Wang Chuanxuan raged; had the Clan Guardian Imperial Soldiers not been taken by the Dragon Battle Martial Emperor, even if the opponent could continuously summon the power of the Emperor’s Soldier, breaking through would have been tough. The Mountain Protection Array lacking the Eight Desolations Annihilation Saber, its power was less than one percent.
He hated, hated Wei Ran, hated the Dragon Battle Martial Emperor, hated the traitor Wang Yuan, deeply resented the Zhou Family.
But it was futile rage; as the controller of the Grand Array, the multiple backlashes left him covered in cracks, barely holding on.
Moreover, that Killing God had already charged in when the grand array was torn open.
"Run for your lives!"
Wang Chuanxuan shouted, knowing the Wang Family’s great trend had ended, and persisting only meant death for all here, urging everyone to flee.
"Too late!"
Wei Fan’s voice was icy, as calm as a still pond, with no hint of mercy. When he spoke of annihilation, he meant to spare no one.
His hands emanated endless divine light, and before Wang Chuanxuan could unravel the Martial Emperor Array, terrifying ripples swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
