Chapter 985 - 983: A Familiar Presence—The Great Battle Begins, One Sword Slays Celestial Silkworm
"You are!"
Faced with this figure who struck out so abruptly, Celestial Silkworm showed a look of surprise.
He flipped his hand and struck out with a palm, the Power of Laws like silk, endlessly continuous.
This was a Great Divine Technique of Divine Silkworm Valley, the Bone-Softening Palm.
However, that ghost-faced, white-robed masked man merely stretched out an utterly ordinary-looking palm.
Chaos Qi surged and condensed, transforming into a Chaos Hand Seal, even the palm lines clearly visible, as mysterious and profound as the trajectories of myriad heavenly stars.
Boom!
A violent tremor erupted here, the entire Ancient City humming and ringing.
If not for the layer of Divine Trace Purple Gold covering the outside of the entire Ancient City, it would likely have shattered outright under this strike.
Cough!
At the center where the Techniques collided, it was like two meteors slamming into each other, with sounds of bones cracking and blood being coughed up.
Celestial Silkworm’s figure was blasted away like a cannonball, blood splattering in midair.
"How is that possible!"
The Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian were both shocked.
Celestial Silkworm was a Seed-level Celestial Pride. After awakening from his slumber, he emerged into the world with Venerable Cultivation right from the start.
He could be counted among the top young Venerables of the Immortal Realm.
But now, he had been blasted away by a single palm.
Even if his lord came forth, to suppress Celestial Silkworm would still take three or four moves.
"With Quasi-Venerable Cultivation yet able to injure me, and combined with that Chaos Body, you are... that Chaos Body from the Exotic Realm!"
Celestial Silkworm couldn’t help the jolt in his heart, speaking in shock.
An ordinary Quasi-Supreme Venerable striking at him was undoubtedly courting death.
Yet at this moment, this mysterious man could easily injure him.
And his body was shrouded in Chaos Qi.
Who his identity was practically leapt to the eye.
The Exotic Chaos Body, War God of the War God Academy, and one of the Six Kings of Destruction!
"It really is him!"
The Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian both felt their courage turn to ice.
Although their Realm was the same as the Chaos Body before them, both being Quasi-Supreme Venerables.
They still felt that if the Chaos Body wanted to kill them, even one move would be too many.
Earlier, they had still harbored some disdain, thinking that the Exotic Chaos Body was a fake, or at best an inferior Acquired Chaos Body.
Now it seemed their thoughts were indeed laughable to the extreme.
"Hmm?"
Ji Qingyi’s clear, water-like eyes looked toward Jun Xiaoyao, her brows faintly knitting.
That figure, white robes hazy, kept unconsciously reminding her of a certain silhouette.
"How could something like that be possible?" Ji Qingyi secretly shook her head, thinking it was just an unconscious illusion of her own.
There were countless people in the world who wore white, it wasn’t exclusive to that one person.
"He is..."
Princess Long Ji, Yu Chajuan, and Yan Rumeng, the three women, were also slightly dazed.
To be honest, for a brief instant they had thought they saw that familiar figure, almost so delighted they were about to cry out.
But that hazy Chaos Qi coiling around him, along with the ghost face mask on his face, told them.
It was nothing but an illusion.
"All together!"
Celestial Silkworm’s expression became more solemn than ever before.
Never would he have thought that facing a Quasi-Supreme Venerable, he would feel such pressure.
The Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian felt the same.
On this side, beneath the mask, Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze swept over the scene.
He hadn’t expected to run into these acquaintances.
Just now, though, he had also noticed that Princess Long Ji and the others seemed to be on less than pleasant terms with Celestial Silkworm’s group.
Although Jun Xiaoyao could not openly lend them a hand, he could directly erase these troubles.
"Kill!"
Celestial Silkworm let a killing sound erupt from his mouth.
He still had his ambitions.
If he could personally slay this Chaos Body from the Exotic Realm, what kind of rewards and glory would he obtain?
If they were both in the Ultimate Venerable Realm, Celestial Silkworm wouldn’t even think about it and would simply run.
But fortunately it was only a Quasi-Supreme Venerable. Celestial Silkworm believed he still had a chance to gamble.
The Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian also attacked at the same time.
Ji Qingyi thought for a moment, then likewise made a move. There was a trace of curiosity in her heart.
As for Princess Long Ji’s side.
The three women were slightly lost in thought.
Because that indistinct figure wreathed in Chaos Qi truly did bear some resemblance to that person.
Only, just the fact he was a Chaos Body was enough to sever that absurd notion in their hearts.
"Let’s retreat first."
Yan Rumeng said softly when she saw the other two women slightly distracted.
Princess Long Ji and Yu Chajuan finally came back to themselves.
They both looked deeply at that white-robed figure, then the three women turned and withdrew, leaving the Purple Gold Ancient City.
On this side, the great battle erupted.
Sensing Princess Long Ji and the others leaving, Jun Xiaoyao also secretly let out a breath of relief.
He had truly feared that these three women, in a bout of single-mindedness, would also attack him, which would have been somewhat inconvenient.
Fortunately, they were all intelligent women who knew how to weigh the situation.
"Divine Silkworm Celestial Sealing Skill!"
Celestial Silkworm unleashed the top-tier Great Divine Technique of Divine Silkworm Valley.
Behind him, tens of thousands of strands of Power of Laws turned into threads like silkworm silk, surging toward Jun Xiaoyao like a sky-covering tide.
This Secret Technique of Divine Silkworm Valley was said to be able to seal heaven and earth, trapping the enemy within a Law Cocoon and then Refining them.
From this alone, it was clear that Celestial Silkworm’s control over the Power of Laws was already extremely exquisite.
The Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian also struck.
As followers of the Immortal Domain Chaos Body, their own talent and strength were naturally not weak, far surpassing that Star Saint Guardian.
At this moment, the two of them unleashed powerful moves, one’s fist swinging forth, radiance as brilliant as the Sun.
The other wielded a curved blade, a thousand-zhang-long moon-white blade light sweeping out, rending the Void.
Ji Qingyi also struck, her jade palm sweeping out, its might on par with the means of the two Saint Guardians.
Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao formed the Mountain Shifting Seal with his hand.
This was one of the Scattering Hands he had comprehended from the War God Atlas.
Though it wasn’t some world-shaking Great Divine Technique, in Jun Xiaoyao’s hands it could turn the mundane into the miraculous.
Not to mention the blessing of the Power of Chaos, which made this already formidable move even more overpowering.
Rumble!
With a single Seal from Jun Xiaoyao crushing down, Ji Qingyi, the Day Saint Guardian, and the Moon Saint Guardian were all blasted away.
Ji Qingyi was still fine, only the complexion beneath her veil turning slightly pale.
The Day Saint Guardian and Moon Saint Guardian both spat blood, their bones cracking, suffering heavy injuries in an instant.
At this moment, Celestial Silkworm’s Extreme Technique had already closed in.
Countless threads formed from the Power of Laws interwove around Jun Xiaoyao, shimmering with Runes, instantly turning into a Law Cocoon that wrapped Jun Xiaoyao inside.
"Refine!"
Celestial Silkworm shouted, Magical Energy surging, various Rune Divine Chains interweaving in the Void.
They even turned into Law Dao Flame, baking the Law Cocoon.
It was evident that as a Seed-level Celestial Pride of the Immortal Realm, Celestial Silkworm truly had some substance.
These Seed Level figures had their reasons for dominating the eras they belonged to.
"Heh, so what if you’re a Chaos Body." A faint trace of delight crossed Celestial Silkworm’s face.
If he could extract the Blood of Chaos and Chaos Origin from within.
Then his chances of metamorphosing into a Ten-Change Divine Silkworm would be almost ten out of ten!
However, just as Celestial Silkworm was indulging in his sweet dreams.
Rip!
A sword light that illuminated the heavens tore apart the Law Cocoon, even the Void shattering and being pierced through.
A beam of brilliant to the point of blinding, yet swift to the extreme sword light instantly pierced through Celestial Silkworm’s glabella.
Before he could even react, his Primordial Spirit had already been annihilated into nothingness.
The Immortal Domain Seed Level figure, Celestial Silkworm, fell!
