Chapter 1433 - 1424: Xu Wu

Chapter 1433: Chapter 1424: Xu Wu

"Damn it!"

Elder Zong swept his gaze around and saw his soldiers dying and wounded in droves. Along with his fury, there was a stab of heartache.

These soldiers were the accumulation of the Tianhe Royal Family over tens of billions of years.

"Shangguan Huangji, if you’ve got any guts, come out and fight me one-on-one!"

Elder Zong suddenly raised his head, staring at Shangguan Huangji on the city wall. Blood light blazed around him, and a terrifying killing intent surged forth.

"One-on-one?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Huangji’s face showed a cold smirk. Naturally he had no reason to fear battle. He stepped out and roared, "Come fight!"

His voice boomed like thunder, exploding across heaven and earth.

In the next instant, Shangguan Huangji appeared before Elder Zong, war sword in hand, his dreadful aura soaring to the sky and sweeping over everything.

"Die!"

Elder Zong’s expression was icy and stern as he slashed out with his sword.

Boom!

A strand of Sword Qi tore through the Void, then vanished.

Dimensional power!

Reverse Space!

"Did you think dimensional power was invincible?"

Shangguan Huangji let out a cold laugh, raised his war sword high, and slashed toward the front.

Rumble!

A Sword Qi a million li long appeared, not locking onto Elder Zong, but slashing instead toward a certain patch of empty starry sky.

"He found it?"

Elder Zong’s pupils shrank violently, horror filling him.

Just as this thought surfaced—

A world-shaking explosion rang out.

The Sword Qi Shangguan Huangji had slashed down landed exactly where Elder Zong’s Sword Qi had gone, colliding and unleashing a frenzied shockwave that swept in all directions, annihilating a vast swath of Voidness.

"Surprised?"

"The cultivation method for dimensional power, which is a top absolute secret in the Tianhe Universe, is handed out to everyone in the Wan Kong Universe!"

"It’s precisely your stupidity and selfishness that have widened the gap between the Tianhe Universe and the Wan Kong Universe, and the final result will be the destruction of the Tianhe Universe!"

Shangguan Huangji said, his face full of mockery.

After he obtained the method for dimensional power from Zuoxiang, he immediately began cultivating. Although he hadn’t comprehended dimensional power, he could roughly judge the direction of an opponent’s attack.

Of course, that was limited to the first-level dimensional power!

"You’re happy too soon!"

Elder Zong’s expression returned to calm. After a brief thought, a flash of sharp light passed through his eyes. He once more swung his war sword, slashing out several strands of Sword Qi in succession.

These strands of Sword Qi appeared and then immediately vanished, yet they gave rise to endless killing intent, all locked onto Shangguan Huangji, making the hair on his body stand on end and revealing a hint of panic.

When it came down to it, he still hadn’t actually comprehended dimensional power!

Though he could sense dimensional power, it required a certain amount of time. If Elder Zong only slashed out one Sword Qi, he could lock onto its position, but if there were multiple, he simply couldn’t.

Elder Zong had seen through this point—that was why he slashed out several Sword Qi.

"Great Creation Bell!"

Shangguan Huangji let out a low roar. With a wave of his left hand, a golden light flew out of his body, transforming into a golden bell covered in countless Great Dao patterns, radiating endless Rhymes in Dao. It hung in the air, sealing the Void.

Great Creation Bell!

The clan artifact of The Shangguan Family!

An eighth-grade divine artifact!

It could seal the Void and withstand powerful attacks!

Rumble rumble!

Rumble rumble!

As the Great Creation Bell appeared, the Sword Qi Elder Zong had slashed down landed one after another. Every strand of Sword Qi had the power to split a universe in two, and now, falling all at once, they directly annihilated several light-years of Void.

To the point that the Starfield of the Immortal Forest Territory in the Ten Thousand Demons Territory turned into nothingness, as if it was about to be erased.

Fortunately, within both territories, top-tier experts were sitting in town.

Otherwise, after one battle, uncountable living beings would have died tragically.

When experts clash—

For the weak, it’s nothing short of a catastrophe.

Heaven and earth fell silent. Even the soldiers on both sides who had been fighting stopped at this moment. Every gaze turned in unison toward the site of the explosion, their expressions uneasy.

Gradually, the aftershock dissipated, revealing the scene left after the clash.

Elder Zong stood with sword in hand, his long hair dancing wildly. Aside from the pallor on his face due to excessive expenditure, there wasn’t the slightest sign of injury.

In contrast, Shangguan Huangji looked incomparably miserable. The Great Creation Bell above his head had lost its luster, covered in dense cracks, ready to shatter at any moment.

Many razor-sharp strands of Sword Qi were pouring in through those cracks.

They left several sword wounds on Shangguan Huangji’s body. Blood flowed incessantly, dyeing his clothes red.

He panted heavily, a trace of lingering fear still on his face!

At this moment, Elder Zong stepped forward toward Shangguan Huangji. With each step he took, a terrifying aura rampaged, as if it wanted to destroy the universe and restart a new heaven.

In just a few steps, Elder Zong arrived right in front of Shangguan Huangji.

"Gulp!"

Facing Elder Zong at such close distance, a flicker of fear passed through Shangguan Huangji’s eyes, and the thought of retreating back to Soul Return City surfaced. But as soon as that thought came up, he crushed it.

Shangguan Huangji understood clearly: once he fled, he would never stand up again within the Wan Kong Universe.

No power likes a coward!

Especially since he had just submitted to the Wan Kong Universe!

He needed to put on a performance!

So how should he perform?

The most direct way was to fight a beautiful battle and use battle merit to secure his footing.

But right now, battle merit was out of the question. He could only rely on the spirit of not fearing danger and being willing to sacrifice himself for the Wan Kong Universe to gain recognition from the high-levels of the Voidness race.

Besides, Shangguan Huangji was gambling.

He was gambling that the Wan Kong Universe wouldn’t sit back and watch him die!

He was gambling that Zuoxiang was a master worth serving!

"Traitor, prepare to die!"

Elder Zong fixed his gaze on Shangguan Huangji, his face turning exceedingly cold. Yuan Qi flowed endlessly into his war sword, condensing a supremely sharp Sword Qi that was about to thrust forward.

The shadow of death enveloped Changkong!

"You didn’t disgrace this Minister."

At the critical moment, Zuoxiang appeared on the city wall. He gave Shangguan Huangji a single appreciative look; the light in his crystal-like eyes grew stronger as he gave a deep order: "Xu Wu, make your move!"

As his voice fell—

The Void above Shangguan Huangji’s head twisted, and a man wearing blood-colored armor and holding a chilling war spear stepped out.

Xu Wu!

The first great general under Zuoxiang’s command, his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Molding Dao Realm, and he had comprehended the second-level dimensional power, capable of reversing time.

As soon as he appeared, Elder Zong felt an immense pressure and hurriedly retreated.

"Have the Tianhe Empress come out and die!"

Xu Wu merely glanced at Elder Zong and felt no desire to attack him, speaking coldly and arrogantly.

"Impudent!"

Elder Zong’s face changed again, a fierce killing intent erupting from every inch of him.

"Stand down!"

Just then, the Void in front of Elder Zong split open, and four figures in black robes, their bodies wreathed in the aura of dusk, stepped out. One of them said, "You are not his match. Fall back."

These four were veteran elders who had followed the Tianhe Exalted Lord in earlier years, and they were also the ancestor-level elders of the Tianhe Royal Family!

"As you command!"

Elder Zong did not dare defy the ancestors’ orders. He clasped his fists in salute, then withdrew to the formation.

"Xu Wu, your power is great. You won’t mind if we four old men take action together, will you?"

One of the black-robed figures spoke with a smile.

Though he smiled, his eyes held a hint of gravity. Years of campaigning had taught him that the man before them was extremely powerful and would not be easy to deal with.

"Do as you please."

Xu Wu shrugged indifferently. Then he gripped his war spear, and boundless killing intent surged, transforming directly into an endless blood cloud that pressed down toward the four black-robed men.

Within the rolling blood clouds, a strand of spear Qi emerged.

Red to the point of black!

Formed entirely of killing intent!

Vaguely, countless departed souls could be heard wailing in misery within it, incomparably shrill, incomparably terrifying.
