Chapter 471 - 470: Obliteration

Chapter 471: Chapter 470: Obliteration

’What is this thing? How can it possess such a technique?’ The Kunpeng Ancestor was utterly shaken. Such a method was clearly beyond that of any ordinary Weapon.

Unfortunately, the Seizing Dao Patterns contained within the Pen of Order were incomparably profound, and they quickly bound all of the Kunpeng Ancestor’s remnant soul.

Bound by the Seizing Dao Patterns, the Kunpeng Ancestor was like a creature in chains, unable to exert its strength.

It felt a wave of powerlessness.

Seize!

After the Kunpeng Ancestor’s remnant soul was bound, a deep voice sounded from Ling Fei’s lips.

The next moment, the Seizing Dao Patterns that had invaded the Kunpeng Sword pulled out the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul.

The Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul was pulled out and submerged into the Qi Vortex manifested by the Dragon Bone Pen.

The moment it entered the Qi Vortex, a profound power began to draw out the Power of Origin from the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul.

This Power was drawn out and directly refined into nothingness.

With that, the aura of the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul continuously weakened.

"No..." Feeling its Essence Qi being drawn out and refined, the Kunpeng Ancestor let out a roar.

Meanwhile, within the Sealing Demon Platform, the Kunpeng Ancestor’s true body struggled with all its might, trying to change the situation.

This wisp of its Split Soul had escaped only with great difficulty. If it were refined now, it would be incredibly difficult for another to escape.

RUMBLE!

The Sealing Demon Platform trembled. The adjacent Great Nether Sea churned, raising monstrous waves. A terrifying ripple of power swept out, accompanied by roars.

But in the end, the Kunpeng Ancestor failed to send out another wisp of its Split Soul.

"What’s happening?!"

"Has the Kunpeng Ancestor been defeated?" Seeing this, the three powerhouses from the Corpse Spirit Hall looked on with worry in their eyes.

If the Kunpeng Ancestor was defeated, there would be nothing they could do.

"Have Emperor Xi and Ling Fei won?" Yuan Huaitian and the others were filled with joy.

Then, in the Void near the Sealing Demon Platform, the Seizing Dao Patterns wrapped around the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul flashed and vanished into Ling Fei’s Dragon Bone Pen.

Inside the Dragon Bone, Ling Fei and Emperor Xi took action, manifesting Dao Patterns that continuously wore down the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul.

"No..." the Kunpeng Ancestor roared. But as its Soul Power of Origin was continuously drawn out and refined, its Split Soul grew weaker and weaker.

Outside, the Light Patterns on the Kunpeng Sword dimmed, and it fell to the ground. The Kunpeng Ancestor’s aura was gone from within it.

"Retreat!" On the North Spirit Platform, after seeing this scene, Beiming Transformation Sea’s eyes flashed, and he began to fall back.

The three powerhouses from the Corpse Spirit Hall also hastily retreated.

Now that even the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul had been destroyed, it was clear they could not turn the tide. Staying here would only put them in danger.

"Trying to escape?!" As the four of them retreated, Yuan Huaitian, Master Xuan Ji, and Sect Leader Wan immediately attacked.

Instantly, above the North Spirit Platform, Master Xuan Ji manifested the Thousand Buddha Hands and attacked the three Corpse Spirit Hall powerhouses.

Yuan Huaitian and Sect Leader Wan charged toward Beiming Transformation Sea.

"Hmph, you’re already afflicted with the Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi, and you still think you can stop us?" Seeing the three attack, the Corpse Spirit Hall powerhouse’s gaze turned sinister.

"If that’s how it is, then you can all have a taste of my Qi of Ten Thousand Corpses!"

As his words fell, a Magical Treasure shaped like a skull appeared in one of their hands.

The treasure flickered with a ghostly blue light as it flew to meet Master Xuan Ji’s Thousand Buddha Hands.

Soon, the Light Patterns on it flickered, and the treasure suddenly exploded. Ghostly blue Corpse Qi surged forward like a terrifying wave.

Under the impact of the Qi of Ten Thousand Corpses, the Thousand Buddha Hands disintegrated. A terrifying wave of Corpse Qi swept in behind it.

This Corpse Qi made Master Xuan Ji and the others look on with great apprehension.

The Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses all summoned their treasures to protect themselves and the Celestial Pill Realm Cultivators.

In addition, a Supreme Treasure summoned by Beiming Transformation Sea also exploded violently, blocking the attacks from Yuan Huaitian and Sect Leader Wan.

At the same time, he waved his large hand, which transformed into a Nether River. It swept up the people from the Beiming Sword Sect and several other sects, allowing them to Escape the Array Seal of the North Spirit Platform.

By the time the fluctuations of Corpse Qi on the North Spirit Platform subsided, the people from the Beiming Sword Sect and the Corpse Spirit Hall were long gone.

Gone with them were the people from Sects like Thousand Lakes Mountain and Wind Watching Cliff.

"They escaped!" Seeing this, the Sect Leaders of the various sects were filled with regret.

Failing to capture these people meant leaving a threat for the future.

Just as everyone was lamenting their escape, Master Xuan Ji, Yuan Huaitian, and Sect Leader Wan each spat out a mouthful of black blood. They immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to regulate their breathing. In that instant, their faces turned pale and haggard. From the looks of it, their injuries were not light.

In truth, the three of them were already spent forces. The only reason they had held on for so long was the presence of a powerful enemy, forcing them to persevere.

Now that Beiming Transformation Sea and his group had left, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief and begin to tend to their injuries.

’I hope the three Sect Leaders will be alright,’ the Cultivators from the various sects prayed silently.

If the Southern Wilderness lost these three powerhouses to watch over it, it would most likely be plunged into an age of darkness.

Thus, the safety of these three had become the most crucial matter at hand.

’I wonder if the situation in the North Spirit Ruins has truly stabilized.’ While praying, the crowd couldn’t help but worry about the situation inside the ruins.

At this moment, near the Sealing Demon Platform, the Kunpeng Sword had already fallen to the ground, and Ling Fei’s aura was gradually receding.

’I’ve finally refined the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul.’ A flash of light passed through Ling Fei’s eyes, revealing a hint of relief.

Emperor Xi’s wisp of True Spirit also floated out from Ling Fei’s body.

"Thank you for your help this time, young friend." Emperor Xi, handsome as jade and radiating a heroic aura, smiled as he thanked Ling Fei.

"An Evil Demon has emerged into the world. It is my undeniable duty to contribute what I can," Ling Fei said. "However, although the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul has been destroyed, its true body remains. I wonder if those of the Demon Dao will continue to come here, seeking a chance to free it."

Ling Fei’s face was filled with worry.

If that were the case, this matter was far from over. This... was only the beginning.

"The heavens and the earth have their own destiny. You need not worry too much. Simply do your best in all things." Emperor Xi smiled, his tone remarkably calm.

"’Simply do your best in all things?’" Ling Fei frowned.

"Mm," Emperor Xi said. "The world is vast. Above, there are Divine Demons, and below, there are peerless powerhouses. Mortals are humble. To be able to do one’s best in all things is already quite good."

Ling Fei was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected that Emperor Xi wouldn’t demand that he save the world.

"Heh," Emperor Xi chuckled. "If your strength is insufficient, worrying is useless. So, don’t overthink things. What you need to do now is improve your own strength. Only when you have reached the Martial Arts Peak of this world and possess the power to suppress demons with a turn of your hand and shelter all under heaven can you truly change fate."

’Strength!’ Ling Fei’s eyes showed a flash of understanding. ’So, when the Human Emperor told me to simply do my best, it was just to comfort me.’

It was all because his strength was insufficient.

If his strength was insufficient, he could not change fate or alter the situation.

That was why it was useless for the current Ling Fei to overthink things, and why Emperor Xi had told him not to.

Although he felt unwilling to accept it, Ling Fei knew deep down that his strength was truly not enough.

Take this time, for example. Although Ling Fei had a Supreme Treasure, his insufficient strength prevented him from wielding its true Power. He could only watch helplessly as the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul made its Escape. If not for Emperor Xi, even if Ling Fei had fought with all his might and exhausted his very last drop of Essence Blood, he would have been powerless to turn the tide.

So in the end, everything came down to strength!

Without strength, no amount of worrying was of any use.
