Chapter 1413: Activation!

The Heavenly Venerable–Slaughtering Grand Array was a power Yi Tianyun could control after gaining mastery over the Five Elements Core. As its name implied, the Heavenly Venerable–Slaughtering Grand Array was an array specifically designed to slaughter Heavenly Venerables, possessing absolute, unquestionable killing power.

From the very beginning, Yi Tianyun had not wanted to use this thing. The main reason was that the Heavenly Venerable–Slaughtering Grand Array was a true trump card, and its cooldown time was terrifyingly long. After using it once, it required ten years to fully cool down before it could be used again.

Even if he used cooldown divine stones, it would be extremely difficult to erase a full ten years of cooldown time—the amount required was simply too great. Although he possessed a large amount of Frenzy Points, after smashing enough cooldown divine stones, he estimated that his Frenzy Points would be completely drained.

However, if he ever encountered a situation where it absolutely had to be used, then even if it meant exhausting all his Frenzy Points, he would still use it.

And now was precisely such a moment.

Li Tian Heavenly Venerable and the others simply could not deal with the enemy. His greatest trump card—something he had intended to save—was now forced into use.

Initially, Yi Tianyun felt that the situation was still manageable, so he did not activate it. He believed they could slowly deal with the enemies, steadily and cautiously. While it would be difficult, there was at least hope.

But now, there was no hope at all.

An upper-stage Heavenly Venerable at the mid-stage—Heavenly Venerable Shashen—possessed absolute power, more than enough to effortlessly crush and slaughter them all.

Even if Li Tian Heavenly Venerable and the others joined forces, they were still no match. Even exhausting all their energy would be futile. As for burning themselves to summon a powerful existence like the previous two upper-stage Heavenly Venerables had done…

They had never cultivated such a technique. Heavenly Venerable Haohan had strictly forbidden practicing it. And even if they had learned it, they would not have been able to successfully summon anything.

The gap in cultivation was simply too vast. They would likely be killed before the summoning could even be completed. Previously, the two upper-stage Heavenly Venerables had managed it only because their explosive power briefly formed a protective barrier, allowing the summoning to succeed.

Without an extremely solid protective grand array, they would be killed instantly.

Under these circumstances, Yi Tianyun could only use his own trump card. He had originally planned to reserve it for the Inner God Domain, as a defensive ace. Whoever dared to invade recklessly would be met with a terrifying burst of power—enough to serve as a powerful deterrent.

But now, he had no choice.

Otherwise, they would all be finished.

“Activate… the Heavenly Venerable–Slaughtering Grand Array!”

Yi Tianyun’s eyes flashed brilliantly as energy from the Five Elements Core surged forth in an instant, pouring into the grand array. As it rapidly lit up, cultivators soon noticed something strange beneath their feet, leaving them utterly stunned.

At some unknown moment, a massive grand array had appeared beneath them, leaving everyone confused as to what was happening.

Weng—weng—weng…

The Heavenly Venerable–Slaughtering Grand Array began to glow. Soon, a point of light condensed outside the planet, rapidly expanding until it grew to half the size of the planet itself, resembling a blazing sun suspended in outer space.

When the cultivators of the Three Realms God Domain saw this, they were completely shaken. They could clearly feel an unimaginably terrifying energy descending from the heavens, pressing down on them so heavily that they could barely move—let alone think of fleeing.

“Everyone, sit down and cultivate in place. Don’t panic—this is something I created!”

Yi Tianyun immediately transmitted his voice, signaling everyone to calm down and not be frightened.

Upon hearing his voice, the crowd quickly steadied themselves and followed his instructions, sitting down to cultivate. Once they did, the pressure immediately eased somewhat.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun took out a transmission jade slip and crushed it hard. The moment it shattered, the jade slip on Li Tian Heavenly Venerable’s side reacted as well—signaling that it was time to act!

At this moment, Li Tian Heavenly Venerable and the others were already covered in wounds. Their bodies were riddled with sword gashes—some rapidly healing, others so deep that bone was visible, and some even missing large chunks of flesh.

None of that mattered.

What truly mattered was the surging killing intent that had seeped into them, constantly disrupting their performance.

Yi Tianyun had only been gone for a very short time, yet they were already battered to this extent, on the verge of collapse. Being able to hold out for so long against Heavenly Venerable Shashen was already an impressive feat.

Heavenly Venerable Shashen was never easy to deal with. Once he truly unleashed his power, no one could stop him.

Finally, upon receiving Yi Tianyun’s signal, they moved at once.

“Move!”

While desperately resisting Heavenly Venerable Shashen’s ferocious assault, the three suddenly split apart, erupting with their full power in an instant. They held nothing back, releasing their maximum energy without reservation. They dared not conserve anything—if they did, they might fail to suppress Heavenly Venerable Shashen!

Boom!

A massive three-pointed star formation took shape in the void, closing in from all directions. Countless light swords rained down from above, stabbing fiercely around Heavenly Venerable Shashen, locking him within a fixed area. At the same time, a dense storm of light swords continuously struck his body.

With their full power unleashed, the trio’s strength surged dramatically, reaching something close to the mid-stage upper Heavenly Venerable level.

But no matter what, it was only reaching that level—not surpassing it.

“A desperate counterattack before death?” Heavenly Venerable Shashen sneered.

He swung his crimson sword, instantly slicing apart the incoming light swords, severing entire swathes with each strike. Their all-out attacks had virtually no effect on him.

“If this is your final struggle, then you truly disappoint me.”

His eyes burned blood-red.

“It’s time to end this. All of you—die!”

With a furious roar, Heavenly Venerable Shashen charged toward Li Tian Heavenly Venerable, sweeping his sword horizontally to clear the light swords blocking his path. Even so, the sweep only destroyed a single outer layer—the remaining layers still stood firm.

These layers were not meant to kill him, but simply to restrain him and prevent him from moving freely.

This was exactly what Yi Tianyun had instructed them to do—not to pin Heavenly Venerable Shashen completely, nor to engage in a mad battle, but to kite him and confine him within a fixed area.

At the same time, the three immediately retreated outward. Yi Tianyun had told them that once control was achieved, they were to withdraw beyond a certain distance at once.

“With such pathetic power, you think you can trap me? How naïve…”

Heavenly Venerable Shashen scoffed disdainfully. Just as he was about to destroy all the light swords imprisoning him, he suddenly turned his head to look ahead.

In that instant, he sensed a terrifying force surging from the region before him.

At first, it was merely a tiny point of light—but it rapidly expanded into a massive radiant sphere, rushing toward him!

In the end, it transformed into a colossal pillar of light, swallowing everything in its path. The outer layers of light swords were obliterated first, dissolving into countless particles before vanishing completely.

Then, the light surged straight toward Heavenly Venerable Shashen himself.

A profound sense of death flooded his being.

It was the feeling of imminent death—once again.
