Chapter 726 - 508: Shattering the Great Dao—A Disciple of the Martial Emperor Family?
"Boom..."
The moment the terrifying aura appeared, it enveloped all space.
The aura was so terrifying that even Great Saints felt their Primordial Spirits trembling. It was vast like an ocean, capable of sweeping through the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, leveling the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
The surrounding space couldn’t withstand this terrifying aura and shattered in large patches. In an instant, it was unclear whether dozens or hundreds of miles were shattered, making everyone feel as if they’d returned to the real world.
Heaven and Earth seemed to be returning to chaos, filled everywhere with surging Chaos Qi.
All notions of the Great Dao and Chains of Order were swept away by the waves stirred up by the aura, either breaking or vanishing entirely, while the aftermath of the four Great Saints’ combat dissolved rapidly, like spring snow melting.
"This is bad..."
In an instant, the Black Dragon Great Saint and the two Demon Race Great Saints showed horrified expressions. The Dao Power outside their bodies was pressed back by the terrifying waves, causing their bodies to sink.
Everyone felt the aura of death, as if targeted by an unparalleled Martial Emperor, leaving no possibility but death.
At the same time, mountains and rivers of the real world shattered in vast swathes, an entire region was sinking, like an apocalypse, everything was being erased.
Fortunately, the Great Saints’ battlefield was far from Shuiyun City, or else this terrifying aura would have been enough to instantly kill all living beings in Shuiyun City.
"This person comes from the Martial Emperor Family, possessing the secret technique of guiding the Emperor’s Soldier’s power..."
The Celestial Horned Elephant and Nine-tailed Fox were terrified and instantly "understood" what had happened. In shock, the two Demon Saints turned to flee into the distance.
Emperor’s Might!
This force, which surpasses the Ten Thousand Dao and can crush Heaven and Earth Dao, other than Emperor’s Soldiers, they could think of nothing else that could achieve this.
Imperial Soldiers have similar abilities, but unless wielding the true body of an Imperial Soldier, merely relying on secret techniques to guide it is simply impossible to have the power to crush the Great Dao.
"Escape!"
In an instant, the only thought in the minds of the Celestial Horned Elephant and Nine-tailed Fox was to flee. Even relying on secret techniques to guide just a strand of the Emperor’s Soldier’s power was enough to easily blow them apart.
This is why the Martial Emperor’s influence is so high and mighty; what does it matter if one is a Great Saint power, when someone merely at the Dharma Realm can guide a strand of the Emperor’s Soldier’s power and easily crush you, there is simply no way to contend.
Under the divine power of the Emperor’s Soldier, the Great Dao was forced to retreat.
"Can you escape?"
Wei Fan’s body overflowed with killing intent, his voice cold and merciless.
Seeing the Nine-tailed Fox and Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saints about to escape, he struggled to raise his hands and pressed them towards the two Great Saints.
"Boom!"
The void trembled, like roaring thunder, and the invisible terrifying waves instantly caught up with the retreating Nine-tailed Fox Great Saint.
The dignified body of the Great Saint, even famed for its bodily strength, stood no chance. The Demon Saint’s flesh was as fragile as paper.
There wasn’t even a scream, nor any spray of blood. The body of the Nine-tailed Fox Demon Saint was wiped away like a drawing on paper, leaving nothing behind, disappearing suddenly.
"Terrifying!"
Even Wei Fan gasped, let alone anyone else.
The Black Dragon Great Saint felt his skin crawl as he continued to retreat rapidly, distancing himself from the center of the terrifying waves.
Witnessing this scene with Heart Spirit, the Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saint nearly had his Three Souls and Seven Spirits frighten out of him and began using secret techniques to burn life for accelerated escape.
However, since Wei Fan had already made a move, he naturally wouldn’t let a single Demon Fiend escape, as they were all cultivated power.
"You stay as well!"
He once again drew upon the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, sweeping towards the back of the Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saint.
The sky trembled, Chaos Qi surged like a tide, and the terrifying waves seemed to overturn Heaven and Earth, annihilating all things, with the land surging continuously in tandem and the Great Dao vanishing from this world.
"Sputter..."
The Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saint couldn’t outpace the terrifying waves. As the waves brushed part of his body, the entire demon body disintegrated into powder, leaving nothing behind.
"Boom boom..."
Two towering Saint Daos appeared one after the other, full of dense cracks, with the connection to Heaven and Earth Dao long severed.
Wei Fan withdrew the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, his figure transformed into sword light and retreated rapidly.
The next moment, the two Great Daos shattered, and the destructive force swept through the heavens and the earth, with the entire Void World constantly rumbling.
Wei Fan originally thought he would once again experience a Primordial Spirit shock as usual, feeling discomfort for a period, but he found that this time the Ten Thousand Dao Bell isolated the influence of the Dao Collapse, and his Dao and Primordial Spirit were unaffected.
"It cannot endlessly guide the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell!"
Wei Fan felt mentally exhausted, his body ached, and even some places had fractured.
Although he is the master of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, he cannot infinitely guide the power of the bell when drawing upon its strength. The power of the bell also imposes a burden on his body.
After slaying the Celestial Horned Elephant and the Nine-tailed Fox, he was almost at his limit. If there was one more Great Saint, he could only watch as the opponent left.
"Indeed, if one could draw upon it infinitely, the Martial Emperor Family would have been invincible by now!"
Wei Fan quickly understood the crux of the issue. After all, this was not his own power, and no matter how powerful a Divine Technique might be, it would not allow someone to disregard the power of an Emperor’s Soldier.
[Slain Celestial Horned Elephant, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 7,000 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Slain Nine-tailed Fox, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 6,000 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 2,860,000 years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 15,700 years]
Two Great Saints, with the Celestial Horned Elephant being the strongest, its Dao condensed to seven thousand feet, while the Nine-tailed Fox Great Saint had probably only recently broken through to the Great Saint Realm, with its Dao only six thousand feet.
Though exhausted, Wei Fan felt exhilarated from the kill. The only regret was that he couldn’t retain the corpse of a Great Saint-level Celestial Horned Elephant; if he could cultivate the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Skill with its body, the effect would be far better.
"Which Martial Emperor Family’s disciple is this?"
The Black Dragon Great Saint was still in shock because this was the first time he had encountered such terrifying power.
"Zhou Family? Unlikely, the Zhou Family wouldn’t interfere in Human Race affairs or make enemies of Demon Fiends, especially since the trouble started because of Wei Fan. They would be more than happy to let the Demon Fiends kill Wei Fan."
The Xuanyuan Family was also impossible because their disciples would participate in the fight against Demon Fiends, but they would never guide the power of the Emperor’s Soldier in such circumstances. Since the Emperor’s Soldier was dying, the Xuanyuan Family hoped it would live one more day.
It didn’t seem like the Mu Family either; people from the Martial Emperor Family wouldn’t guide the power of the Emperor’s Soldier unless faced with a life-and-death crisis. Moreover, the aura of the person in front of him didn’t match any of those families.
"Perhaps it’s an expert from another Great Domain’s Martial Emperor Family, maybe here for the Venerable Phoenix Body?"
As his thoughts whirled, the Black Dragon Great Saint rode the Black Dragon over, cupping his hands and saying, "Thank you, young friend, for your assistance!"
Wei Fan shook his head, "Slaying demons is the duty of Martial Artists like us."
As he spoke, he pointed into the distance and said, "Senior, let’s deal with those beasts first and talk later."
All the Demon Saints had been slain. At this moment, the Demon Army was already fleeing, pursued by the Human Race’s army and those Jianghu Martial Artists.
"Alright!"
The Black Dragon Great Saint nodded, and the three of them took a step out of the Void World. They did not break the unspoken rules to attack those below the Saint Realm but instead used their Divine Abilities to recapture the escaping demons, suppressing them with Will Power, allowing the Human Race army to move in for the kill.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, blood flowed like rivers outside Shuiyun City, turning the earth red, with demon corpses piled high like mountains.
"The Human Race has won!"
A group of Human Martial Artists shouted loudly, their voices seemingly shaking the heavens, all gazing fervently at Wei Fan.
It was he who had killed all the Demon Saints and captured one alive.
"May I ask for young friend’s name?"
The three of them landed in Shuiyun City. Wei Fan took the still-unconscious Celestial Horned Elephant from Tang Jun’s hands and casually lied with a name, "I am Wei Ran!"
Of course, it wasn’t entirely offhand. For the next period, he would use this name to roam the world, seeking revenge for "Wei Fan", slaying the powerhouses of the Xining Royal Family, and creating a powerful backing for Wei Fan.
"Thank you, Young Friend Wei, for your assistance. Otherwise, Shuiyun City would have been a river of blood today!"
The Black Dragon Great Saint searched his mind but found that there seemed to be no Martial Emperor Clan with the surname Wei in the Five Great Domains.
"Maybe it’s not a Martial Emperor Clan but a Martial Emperor Sect!"
He didn’t connect it to Wei Fan, as he wasn’t familiar with Wei Fan and didn’t know his aura. Tang Jun also didn’t connect it to Wei Fan because they hadn’t thought that the person in front was using a false name.
Wei Fan said, "No need for thanks, senior. To be honest, I am a friend of Wei Fan. He was the one who heard that demon fiends were besieging Shuiyun City and asked me to come and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Great Saint was both suspicious and uncertain. Wei Ran, Wei Fan—are they really only friends and not brothers or of the same clan?
"Could Wei Fan have some astonishing background after all? Didn’t he come from the Land of Dao Collapse?"
He couldn’t help but think of Wang Chuan Sect, who had been taken down, likely by Wei Ran. With such a loyal "friend" who could also summon the power of the Emperor’s Soldier at any time, no wonder Wei Fan had to leave the Holy City to lure out his enemies.
"So, you’re one of us!" Tang Jun laughed heartily, not thinking as much as the Black Dragon Great Saint. He only knew that he and Wei Fan were friends, and the person in front was also a friend of Wei Fan.
"Brother Tang, Senior Black Dragon, the demon fiends are dealt with. I have other matters to attend to, leaving Shuiyun City in your hands!"
Wei Fan didn’t plan to stay much longer, bidding farewell to the Black Dragon Great Saint and Tang Jun.
"Alright, young friend has things to handle, so we won’t hold you up. Until we meet again."
The Black Dragon Great Saint understood that Wei Fan was about to take revenge on the Wang Family and realized that the person before him might be Wei Fan’s backup plan, so he didn’t insist on keeping him, to avoid delaying Wei Fan’s plans.
"Both of you take care. If Shuiyun City faces any unsolvable demon fiend problem, you can notify Wei Fan. I can come back to help!"
After speaking, Wei Fan tore open the void, diving in and vanishing from Shuiyun City.
