Chapter 906 - 266: Stealing the Celestial God’s Life
Shen Luo realized something was wrong,
His keen battle instincts frantically alarmed at this moment, prompting him to retreat without thinking.
But when he tried to pull out the sword from Han Zhan’s body, he failed!
At the wound where the sword had entered, countless blood and flesh were crazily proliferating.
The proliferating flesh wrapped Shen Luo’s sword completely, making it impossible to pull out!
Is this what Han Zhan meant by at all costs?!
Shen Luo reacted swiftly, releasing the grip on his weapon at the first sign it couldn’t be freed, and prepared to retreat.
But this momentary delay, less than a breath, made him miss the best opportunity.
Underneath Shen Luo’s feet, blackness engulfed everything, and countless golden profound texts swam beneath like tadpoles, climbing onto his body with unimaginable speed.
At the same time, Han Zhan’s deep and almost inaudible voice sounded in his ear.
"Circulation Array, activate!"
Strands of golden profound texts suddenly converged into chains, binding Shen Luo!
Shen Luo’s face contorted fiercely, his black hair moved without wind, as he unleashed terrifying wild beast strength to break the chains entangling him.
He succeeded.
The numerous golden chains simply couldn’t withstand his strength, breaking one after another.
He also failed.
Because more golden chains surged like a tide, making it impossible to worry about him breaking free.
The more he broke free, the more golden chains wound around him.
Behind Shen Luo, the Supreme Treasures [Power Gate] and [Skill Gate] had already appeared.
Yet corresponding to this, on Han Zhan’s side, [Magic Gate] and [Skill Gate] appeared simultaneously.
The four Temple’s Supreme Treasures shone brilliantly, each canceling out the other’s power.
The situation, at this moment, reached a delicate balance.
"Inlaid Gold, Dragon Trap, Ascend to Heaven."
This was what Han Zhan prepared for Shen Luo.
Inlaid Gold, also known as Sword Stealing, where a strong sword cultivator skilled in sword arts with or without a sword, makes a huge difference.
As for the method of Sword Stealing, through continuous battles with Shen Luo, Han Zhan understood that attempting to steal the sword using ordinary methods had no chance of success.
Thus, he decided to use himself as bait, with his flesh body as the cage for Inlaid Gold Sword Stealing!
This was a highly risky, high-reward, crazy decision, any deviation could result in Han Zhan’s immediate death on the spot.
However, he succeeded.
Dragon Trap was the second step, luring Shen Luo close while using the Circulation Array as a base to completely trap him within.
With Han Zhan’s current cultivation at the Divine Realm, and the support of [Magic Gate], achieving this goal wasn’t difficult.
Then, the third and final step —
Send Senior Brother Shen Luo, to ascend to heaven!
At this moment, Han Zhan could fully confirm, Senior Brother was definitely influenced by Jhin.
Whether it was his sudden breakthrough to the Divine Realm, or his certainty that he would bring disaster to Xiqi and must be erased.
The current Senior Brother Shen Luo, could not go back anymore.
His fate, at the moment of ascending to the Divine Realm, was shaped into an undying enmity with his own.
This is Jhin.
Hiding behind the scenes, just like pulling puppet strings changing a few lines of destiny, could let two destinies violently collide somewhere in the future.
But this does not mean Jhin can act recklessly, on the contrary, to interfere with other’s destinies he must find an appropriate entry point, a... destiny’s thread.
Chang Hao’s greed for worship and wish power, that’s his destiny’s thread; Bai Shang’s desire to listen to the Celestial God’s voice, that’s her destiny’s thread; Shen Luo wanting to break through the Divine Realm, then, the third Supreme Treasure is his destiny’s thread.
Back to the point.
Watching the increasingly berserk transforming, like a true fierce beast following only beast instincts Senior Brother Shen Luo, Han Zhan sighed deeply in his heart.
Unless Emperor Xin of Jhin could be found, to reset Senior Brother Shen Luo’s fate trajectory,
otherwise, between them, there should only be an undying struggle left.
Han Zhan reaffirmed this decision in his heart once more, then he acted.
Don’t forget, within him are not three Supreme Treasures, but, four!
[Magic Gate] and [Skill Gate], the Temple’s Supreme Treasures.
[Life Mark], the Quanrong’s Supreme Treasure.
However, Quanrong’s Supreme Treasures are not just one, but two!
The second Supreme Treasure, after the Old Emperor Rong was killed, was also absorbed by Han Zhan.
The reason for keeping it secret until now, was waiting for this moment!
Quanrong’s second Supreme Treasure, [Barbaric Beast Mark], can grant a person the strength comparable to an Ancient Wild Beast.
This is why, even though the Old Emperor Rong was so aged, he could still swing a two-zhang long Black Blade so quickly.
[Barbaric Mark], also perfectly aligns with Han Zhan.
Because his body itself, is among Tier Nine Ultimates, a Supreme Flesh Body honed through countless battles.
The fusion of [Barbaric Mark] allowed him to fully unlock this part of his ability.
This is his final reliance on daring Shen Luo to strike his body with a sword!
Hooom!
Han Zhan threw a punch.
The terrifying power compressed the air in front of him to an unimaginable degree, emitting a shrill explosion.
A burst of white gas exploded before him.
Han Zhan’s figure suddenly vanished.
Bound by the golden chains, Shen Luo’s eyes widened as if he saw something unbelievable.
He wanted to struggle, but the Circulation Array golden chains bound him, rendering him immobile.
The next second, Han Zhan’s form gradually became clear behind Shen Luo.
Behind him, a fist-sized hole appeared where Shen Luo’s heart should be, the heart that should have been there was completely shattered.
With Shen Luo’s death, the other two Temple’s Supreme Treasures became ownerless, seemingly attracted by something, transforming into streams of light merging into Han Zhan’s body.
The fusion of [Skill Gate] and [Power Gate] brought Han Zhan once again into a state of enlightenment.
This time, what he saw was a broader path.
[Skill Gate] and [Power Gate] fused here, actually forming the same path.
This was the first time Han Zhan saw two Supreme Treasures belonging to one Saint’s vision.
But when he saw who it was, he wasn’t surprised at all.
At the end of the path stood a sacred silhouette bearing a sword, who perceiving something turned to glance at Han Zhan.
That was the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!
Han Zhan opened his eyes, raised his right hand towards the void, and the Xuanyuan Sword was thus forcibly "grabbed" out, grasped in his hand!
Han Zhan’s power soared once more.
...
Xiqi, at the altar.
Lu Tao smiled with narrowed eyes, his right hand forming a spell, the smile on his face grew deeper.
"Auspicious, very auspicious indeed."
"Xiqi’s fate is completely disrupted, allowing me to finally find, the line of destiny that belongs to you."
"Sun God!"
As Lu Tao spoke, he fiercely tugged with his hand, an invisible thread seized in his palm.
Next, he was going to assassinate the Celestial God!
