Chapter 802: Merit Protection, The Fall of Bei Shan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the very moment Elder Chi Yan clashed with Feng Tianyun, another battle erupted as Divine Lord Furious Sea engaged Elder Yuan Feng in a fierce confrontation.

Meanwhile, Fiery Sword Emperor and Bei Shan found themselves in a collision course with Xie Xiangyao, their forces meeting in a spectacular clash.

Suddenly, the sky became a battlefield for seven formidable powers, their encounter sending shockwaves across hundreds of thousands of miles, unsettling the very fabric of the realm.

Hidden in the shadows, Jiang Chengxuan watched with a grave expression.

He was convinced that the enemy’s assault was far from a mere probe.

There was definitely something that they weren’t aware of.

BOOM!

Elder Chi Yan and Feng Tianyun, Elder Yuan Feng and Divine Lord Furious Sea, seemed evenly matched, neither side giving ground in the short term.

However, Xie Xiangyao stood out, single-handedly overpowering both Fiery Sword Emperor and Bei Shan with an unmatched prowess.

Yet, this overwhelming advantage only heightened Jiang Chengxuan’s unease.

It was common knowledge that his senior sister’s strength was unparalleled among her peers, making the idea of her losing to the likes of Fiery Sword Emperor and Bei Shan an impossibility.

The facts also proved it.

As time passed, Fiery Sword Emperor and Bei Shan found it increasingly difficult to deal with Xie Xiangyao.

There was a possibility of defeat at any time.

However, the more the situation was like this, the more Jiang Chengxuan felt that something was wrong.

“There’s definitely something I’m missing,” he muttered, furrowing his brows.

He had pushed his Heavenly Calculation Technique to their limit, yet failed to uncover any useful information.

This was also the most abnormal part.

“It seems I must resort to using some of my fate and merit to unveil the secrets before me.”

At the thought of this, a wisp of purple aura suddenly flashed across Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes.

The next moment, the Merit Golden Lotus on his body suddenly bloomed.

A stream of golden merit qi suddenly merged into his body.

“Let me take a good look at exactly what you all are hiding.”

Buzz!

As Jiang Chengxuan used merit, his Heavenly Calculation Technique was once again used to the extreme.

For the first time, amid his relentless deductions that had previously yielded nothing, a vague clue emerged.

Jiang Chengxuan intensified his efforts, integrating another strand of merit from his Golden Lotus into his calculations.

Instantaneously, at the very edge of the boundless void, he perceived an imposing figure, striking from afar at his senior sister Xie Xiangyao.

Although this scene had yet to manifest in reality, it was a revelation that could change the course of the battle.

Through his deductions, Jiang Chengxuan immediately realized that this sinister plot would soon come to fruition.

It was a curse cast from afar, an attack not from a Void Returning Divine Lord but by a true Dao Integration Saint.

“Damn it! A dignified Dao Integration Saint actually used such a despicable method.

Moreover, he also used a rare treasure to hide his aura.

If I hadn’t used my merit consecutively, it would have been impossible to deduce the other party’s existence.

Even so, the cost of revealing the other party’s identity would be more than I can bear.

But now that I’ve foreseen your scheme, you shall not succeed.

In that moment, Jiang Chengxuan held nothing back.

The Merit Golden Lotus within his sea of consciousness suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

In a silent flash, a petal transformed into a myriad of lights and shadows, seamlessly merging into Xie Xiangyao’ s body.

At this moment, an invisible barrier appeared around her.

Just as Jiang Chengxuan took action, atop a vast mountain, a figure seemingly one with the universe raised his hand.

In an instant, that hand crossed boundless distances, aiming to erase Xie Xiangyao from existence.

“Qin Shenwu, today, I shall start collecting some interest from your chief disciple.”

As these words fell, the hand transformed into a colossal star, emitting a thunderous roar audible only to the Primordial Spirit.

Everyone paused, shock painting their faces as they turned towards the direction of Xie Xiangyao and her companions.

Xie Xiangyao felt the shift around her, as if she were trapped in a vast quagmire, struggling in vain against an overwhelming force.

She sensed an immense crisis, one her current level of cultivation and power could not withstand.

Buzz!

Yet, at that critical moment, a strange energy burst forth from within her.

The hand that had been poised to strike her encountered a sudden, chaotic flow of time and space.

Layers upon layers, dense and interwoven, rendered the hand’s form vague and insubstantial.

“How is that possible?”

On the mountain peak, the towering figure showed a flicker of shock in his eyes.

At the same time.

The hand, thwarted in its attempt to strike Xie Xiangyao, veered towards Bei Shan beside her.

This turn of events sent chills down the spines of both Bei Shan and Fiery Sword Emperor.

Bei Shan cried out in terror, “Senior brother, save me!”

BOOM!

As soon as his plea ended, the mysterious giant hand struck him directly.

In an instant, Bei Shan’s figure shattered.

Quickly, his figure reassembled, only to disintegrate once again before he could utter a word.

This cycle repeated until, after hundreds of iterations, Bei Shan ceased to reappear.

He had fallen.

In that moment, everyone who had been locked in battle ceased their actions, turning in shock towards the direction of Xie Xiangyao and the site of the incident.

What had just happened?

Why did Bei Shan fall so suddenly?

One had to know that the attack from afar had crossed countless space.

Unless one reached the Dao Integration, it was impossible for ordinary cultivators to notice it.

Only Xie Xiangyao, as the target of the curse, only sensed a trace of extremely dangerous aura when the curse was about to hit her.

However, even so, she did not know what had happened just now.

Why did the attack that was clearly targeted at her turn to Bei Shan.

Could it have been a mistake by the attacker?

This was simply impossible.

How could a dignified Dao Integration Saint make such a low-level mistake?

Unless someone had foreseen this event and altered its course through unknown means.

“Could it have been you, junior brother?”

Xie Xiangyao scanned her surroundings with her divine sense.

In the end, she did not find anything.

However, her intuition told her that the incident just now was definitely related to her junior brother.

Boom!

At this moment, Xie Xiangyao did not hesitate at all.

Behind her, a colossal figure of a woman emerged, crowned with a phoenix diadem and wielding a spear that radiated an intensely cold light.

There was a swish.

A cold light quickly expanded in Fiery Sword Emperor’s eyes.

He screamed as his body disintegrated into myriad specks of light, scattering into the ether.

After a while.

Reappearing thousands of miles away, Fiery Sword Emperor looked back at Xie Xiangyao, his eyes still shimmering with residual fear.

The reason for his terror was simple. In just a moment, Xie Xiangyao had shattered much of his domain.

If she were to strike a few more times like that, his domain would be completely pierced through.

Such a catastrophe would diminish his strength by at least thirty percent, and for a considerable time, he would be unable to utilize his true Seethrough domain.

Swoosh!

At this moment, Fiery Sword Emperor didn’t hesitate in the slightest.

He transformed into a streak of light, fleeing into the distance.

The situation had escalated beyond his expectations, especially after witnessing the fall of Bei Shan, which had a profound impact on him.

He even began to suspect whether the Five Elements Heavenly Sect had intentionally orchestrated these events.

On the other side, Feng Tianyun and Divine Lord Furious Sea looked equally grim.

They did not expect such an unforeseen event to happen.

During this period, something must have happened.

It was inconceivable that a Dao Integration Saint could make such a fundamental mistake.

What infuriated them even more was Fiery Sword Emperor’s actions.

Deserting the battlefield without any warning, it was a move that could be seen as cowardice or, more gravely, a blatant disrespect for their combined efforts and the authority of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.

His departure not only put them in a difficult position but also left them vulnerable to Xie Xiangyao’s overwhelming power.

Staying meant an undeniable defeat against Xie Xiangyao and her companions, while leaving would result in significant damage to their forces and reputations.

However, the development of the event was not up to them.

At that moment, several Dharma Form cultivators on Feng Tianyun, Divine Lord Furious Sea, and the others’ side suddenly exploded out of thin air.

They died on the spot.

Next was the Eternal Sword Sect.

The two Celestial Radiance stage cultivators seemed to have encountered a terrifying primordial spirit attack.

They just stood there in a daze.

It was only when a sharp sword light flashed past their bodies that they regained a trace of consciousness.

However, it was already too late.

Under that sword light, their Primordial Spirits, which had merged with the world, were utterly annihilated in a flash.
