Chapter 440 - 417: Crushing All, Death of a Golden Core
WHOOSH!
Su Ye stood with his spear, his black robes whipping in the wind!
[Divine Technique: End of Tracing Origin]
Compared to the Quasi-Technique he had used in the Crystallization Realm, the Divine Technique Su Ye unleashed after achieving his Golden Core had undergone many changes!
For example, its appearance.
The golden-red arrow that represented the Eternal Hunting Divinity had transformed into a longspear swirling with black and white light!
This was a good thing.
’The Ninefold Thunder Tribulation and the Celestial Dao Essence have purified my Golden Core!’
’The influence of the Eternal Hunting Divinity has been completely washed away. This True Technique is now entirely my own... and it conforms more closely to the rules of this world!’
However, the change in appearance was a minor matter.
HUMMM.
He activated End of Tracing Origin, conjuring the Divine Technique’s spear!
In Su Ye’s eyes, time in the entire world instantly froze!
Like a faded old photograph, everything turned to black and white!
At the same time, two souls shone with brilliant color: Chu Jiangheng’s, inside the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier, and Chu Wunian’s, not far away!
Soul Horizon!
A characteristic of soul-chasing and life-reaping!
After his initial comprehension of the Life and Death Skill, the three Divine Techniques within the same Small Triad Structure began to mutually enhance one another, sharing their characteristics while amplifying their power!
BUZZ!
The tip of the black-and-white spear in Su Ye’s hand rose. He took a simple throwing stance, aiming at the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier!
’Made purely of Bright Silver... this War Puppet is truly extravagant...’
’But unfortunately, its pilot is far too weak!’
A wild look flashed in Su Ye’s eyes!
SHIIING!
He hurled the black-and-white spear!
In an instant, it traversed the void. His End of Tracing Origin struck the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier!
A silvery light flickered across the Divine Soldier’s surface as thousands of silver threads seemed to emerge, weaving themselves into a net to intercept the black-and-white spear!
This reaction made Su Ye’s eyes light up with a flicker of interest.
The Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier could actually sense a Divine Technique and attempt to intercept it?
It seemed the Wanlong Commerce Association had invested an astonishing amount of technology and resources into this puppet... No wonder the Flame Alliance considered it their trump card!
’But in the end, it must die!’
An icy glint appeared in the depths of Su Ye’s eyes.
How could a mere inanimate object possibly block his Divine Technique?
SHIIING!
In a moment, the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier’s intercepting net was forcefully shattered!
Following the Traceability Mark, the black-and-white spear precisely struck Chu Jiangheng, annihilating both his body and soul!
—As for the mark?
Su Ye had casually placed it on Chu Jiangheng when he captured him, just in case!
VMMM!
Chu Jiangheng was dead!
The Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier lost control, and its eyes immediately dimmed!
The powerful, heavy swing of its guandao lost its focus, its might greatly diminished!
WHOOSH!
The guandao fell with its own momentum, only managing to create a ripple on the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s Array Shield!
BOOM!
The cannon on the bow of the Ghostly Flood Dragon roared!
The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s main cannon fired at point-blank range. A surging Blood Flame Streaming Light, like a roaring torrent of fire, struck the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier squarely in the chest!
In an instant.
RUMBLE!
The bloody, fiery Spiritual Light Burst!
Even its sturdy Bright Silver body groaned, unable to bear the load.
The cannonball, wreathed in terrifying Spiritual Power, became a crimson pillar of light that slammed into the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier!
Like a raging torrent, it sent the several-thousand-ton War Puppet hurtling toward the sea, all while the countless people on the city walls watched, dumbfounded.
CRASH!
Propelled by the crimson pillar of light, the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier shot downward like a meteor.
It smashed through the Gang Wind and slammed into the seabed, shaking the very earth and mountains!
SPLASH!
White froth churned into monstrous waves!
A tsunami formed with the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier at its epicenter. Waves over a hundred feet high surged outward in all directions.
"Heng’er!"
"No!"
Watching this scene unfold, Chu Wunian’s face went pale with horror. His eyes were bloodshot, looking as if they would burst from their sockets!
Chu Jiangheng held a special status as a Golden Core seed of the Chu Family. His death here felt like a knife twisting in Chu Wunian’s heart!
But what he found even harder to accept was that Chu Jiangheng, protected and piloting the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier, had been killed so easily in a mere instant!
"How is this possible?"
"The Array on the Giant Mechanical Divine Soldier is supposed to block even the power of Divine Techniques..."
"Ugh..."
A dull pain throbbed in Chu Wunian’s chest, and his face was deathly pale.
A sweet, metallic taste suddenly welled up in his throat, and he nearly vomited blood.
The injuries he had forcibly suppressed by consuming a Blast Elixir at the cost of sixty years of his lifespan were threatening to flare up again!
"Damn it!"
"Su Ye, just die!"
Chu Wunian’s face twisted with savagery as he roared in his heart!
He poured his Magical Power into the Cloud Smoke Duster as if it were free, trying to land a decisive blow!
BOOM!
The Cloud Smoke Duster slammed into the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s shield.
The impact on the black-and-red membrane of light was clear. A palm-sized but ten-foot-deep indentation appeared where the Cloud Smoke Duster had struck!
It had to be said, as a veteran Golden Core cultivator who had lived for several hundred years, Chu Wunian’s control over his Magical Power was exceptionally high. In this single strike, he had condensed enough terrifying Magical Power to sink an island into a tiny area, attempting to break the entire surface from a single point!
But unfortunately, the Ghostly Flood Dragon was already essentially a quasi-fifth-tier vessel.
Moreover, its Divine Realm had achieved a state of perfect, seamless integration—the Mixed Element Realm!
Any damage sustained by any single point on the Array could be distributed across the entire ship via the Divine Realm!
In other words, there was no localized damage, only an overall health pool.
The only way to shatter the Array was to overwhelm it with absolute power!
As for breaking the surface from a single point?
There wasn’t the slightest chance of success!
