Chapter 1303 - 931: A Hero’s Last Stand

The Black Impermanence, with his exceedingly high cultivation, was no longer accommodated by this era. As he utilized his magical power, the origin within him began to fade quickly, facing the three twelfth-tier Divine Spirits along with Dugu Qiu became increasingly difficult.

Finally, in a moment of negligence, Black Impermanence was struck flying, shattering a distant rockery. He rose from the dirt, covered in grime, gazing at the sky with deep sorrow, his voice filled with a heroic sadness: "It is truly like a dragon swimming in shallow waters toying with shrimp, a tiger falling from the mountains mocked by dogs. It’s not that the ancestors are inferior to you, but rather that this era cannot accommodate me. If I were in the same era as you, insignificant ants like you could be crushed by me with a mere palm!"

"Protect the ancestor!"

The countless members of the Zhang Family’s eyes flared red, Zhang Gaqi charged ahead towards Black Impermanence, intending to shield him with his body. However, one of the Divine Spirits simply pointed in the void, freezing all the Zhang Family disciples in place.

One tier to heaven, beneath the twelfth tier all are ants.

"You speak boldly, if we were in the same era, we might not be beneath you! In this End of Dharma era, we can still prove ourselves as Yang Gods. If in a flourishing era of cultivation, we could suppress you with a snap of the fingers." Dugu Qiu disputed, refusing to accept.

"A mere Yang God, in a flourishing era of cultivation it’s just a starting point, what is there to be proud of." The eyes of Black Impermanence were filled with a chill: "Remember, one day I will return! As long as Heaven and Earth remain, I have the chance to reinstate myself in the endless river of time and space."

"But even if I truly vanish in this era, I must show you what Daluo means! I must show you what true strength dignity is!" Seeing himself unable to resist the momentum of Heaven and Earth, Black Impermanence chose Extreme Realm Ascension, making one last effort.

Black Impermanence knew that the origin within him was about to deplete, it had already lost ninety percent in the Underworld, now after such vigorous conflict, it’s not far from complete depletion, it’s the momentum of Heaven and Earth, he may have a high realm but ultimately lacks defiant power, unable to reverse the situation.

Since knowing his own fate, he must never let these juniors underestimate him!

The next moment Black Impermanence ascended to Extreme Realm, his Qi Mechanism surged, madly devouring the energy of Heaven and Earth, a terrifying aura rose from his body, overwhelmingly suppressing all directions of Heaven and Earth.

"This is bad!"

The faces of the three twelfth-tier Divine Spirits and Dugu Qiu changed dramatically, facing Black Impermanence’s Extreme Realm Ascension, an all-encompassing pressure swept in, under such pressure, they felt like ants, swaying amid the storm.

"Join forces and summon the judgment quickly!" Dugu Qiu shouted in a frenzy, sensing the crisis of death.

The three twelfth-tier Divine Spirits quickly moved beside Dugu Qiu, their Divine Power surged without end, pouring into the judgment, at this point the judgment under the blessing of the four supreme warriors, its Qi Mechanism began to awaken as well, a terrifying celestial might rippled through the judgment.

"Let me show you the power of a true Daluo warrior! To think a mere Innate Spiritual Treasure could stop me? It’s sheer folly!" Black Impermanence coldly laughed, the next moment the power unique to Daluo Immortals attacked towards Dugu Qiu and the three twelfth-tier Divine Spirits: "Trying to kill me, even if I cannot survive, you will not live either!"

Zhang Chen eyed the Extreme Realm Ascended Black Impermanence, alert rising in his heart, tightly grasping the Celestial Measuring Ruler in his sleeve, not daring to be careless. He’d never imagined Black Impermanence was a powerhouse of the Daluo Realm during his life, if he knew Black Impermanence was of Daluo Realm, he wouldn’t have dared to provoke him.

Meanwhile, he felt fortunate, the three twelfth-tier Divine Spirits popped out to draw Black Impermanence’s attention, the last attack from Black Impermanence’s ascended life targeted them instead of him, otherwise Zhang Chen would have been in dire straits, perhaps only forcibly breaking through to twelfth tier could ensure survival from that attack.

Black Impermanence ignited the energy within his bones, delivering one final blow, though he’d considered attacking Zhang Chen to settle his wrath, whenever such thoughts arose, a mysterious and tremendous fear surged, causing his very spirit to tremble.

After all, he is a Daluo Immortal, his last strike could unleash Daluo-level power, yet in front of an ant who hasn’t completed Immortal Dao, his heart trembles, isn’t this strange?

He had a feeling, if he and Zhang Chen fought, it would indeed result in his death! Moreover, the kind that would be thoroughly erased from the river of destiny, never able to revive.

Being a Daluo-level warrior, his intuition has never been wrong.

Though ascending now, dead in this timeline, in a future timeline there still lies a chance to revive. But if he attacked Zhang Chen, that would be truly extinct, even the True Spirit would be erased from time and space, never to revive.

There Zhang Chen felt his heart pound, secretly raising his guard, even the Celestial Punishment Eye within his Primordial Spirit began to subtly tremble, seeming ready to open, releasing the Divine Thunder.

Daluo-level existence, Zhang Chen felt somewhat anxious.

Just as countless thoughts were swirling in Zhang Chen’s mind, the blow from Black Impermanence had already struck down towards the trio of Twelfth Tier divine beings, and the trio along with Dugu Qiu raised the Judgment, stabbing towards Black Impermanence.

The Judgment flickered with lightning, turning blue and dyeing the entirety of Kyoto in a cyan hue. Black Impermanence’s attack was accompanied by ghostly wails and divine cries, containing a power that shook the souls of all beings as if intending to seize the spirits of Heaven and Earth.

Half of the sky was pitch black, while the other half was blue. The black region seemed as if Eternal Hell had descended, with a Night Parade of Hundred Demons consuming the life essence of Kyoto, while the blue world was surrounded by thunder light, with a majestic celestial awe flowing.

"Boom~"

With the clash, the very Heaven and Earth shook, Kyoto experiencing what seemed like a massive earthquake, numerous buildings collapsing, countless Feng Shui Grand Arrays instantly shattered, creating a breach in Kyoto’s Feng Shui Grand Array, causing the Dragon Vein beneath the earth to emit mournful cries.

The Innate Spiritual Treasure, Judgment, let out a mournful cry, shattering into countless fragments, scattering across the four corners of the world, while the trio of divine beings bore the brunt of the impact, their physical bodies exploding instantly, and behind them, Dugu Qiu had no time to react, his body turning to nothingness; fortunately, at the critical moment, the fragmented Judgment bore the brunt of the power from the Daluo entity, then Dugu Qiu’s physical body exploded, his Yang God shattered into pieces, yet instantly his Yang God was reborn, but now it was dim and merely a shadow.

The trio of Twelfth Tier divine beings also regenerated, the greatness of divine power lies in its ability to remain unharmed as long as the Power of Faith persists, although reborn, their strength could not immediately recover.

Meanwhile, Black Impermanence’s eyes scanned the crowd, revealing a trace of helplessness and resolve, knowing that today life would be impossible to preserve, thus opting to leave a glimmer of vitality, keeping a hope alive for the future.

In an instant, its physical body disintegrated into tens of thousands of black threads that pierced through the void, entering the bodies of the Zhang Family’s disciples; all those with Zhang Family bloodline received Black Impermanence’s care.

Of course, Zhang Chen was an exception!

Zhang Chen was not tempted by the fortune bestowed upon the Zhang Family disciples.

Through his Dharma Eye, he could see that Black Impermanence had disintegrated its Daluo Life Chart, transmitting its only remaining Primordial Spirit Origin in the form of bloodline inheritance to the Zhang Family’s descendants. As long as the Zhang Family did not face extinction, and their bloodline proliferated, a thread of origin would be passed down, allowing a chance to defy destiny and return.

Black Impermanence dispersed its own path, Zhang Chen did not rescue nor did he obstruct; this scoundrel had previously attempted possession in the Underworld, how could Zhang Chen rescue him? It’s fortunate enough that he didn’t actively strike him down.

Those Zhang Family disciples who received blessings from Black Impermanence, at this moment, felt their bloodline power surging, their strength significantly enhanced. This is the Daluo-level power origin; even if only a sliver was attained, it brings unimaginable benefits and fortune to the Zhang Family descendants.

Even the Immortal Dao Power circulated, infusing the bloodline and spirit of the Zhang Family disciples, lessening the Dragon Qi’s suppression upon them, with a trace of Divine Techniques flowing around them.

"How is it possible! How could they break the Dragon Qi suppression and display Divine Techniques? Even if the Divine Techniques they can display are weak, it is nevertheless remarkable." A Twelfth Tier divine spirit noted the Zhang Family disciples breaking the suppression, witnessing the trace of mysterious power flowing, expressing disbelief.

Observing the transformation in the Zhang Family disciples, the trio of divine spirits revealed a hint of killing intent, divine power surged around them with an urge to act, aiming to uproot them completely.

"Everyone! The Zhang Family is one of the Eight Great Clans; consequences are significant, rash actions are not advisable. Although they have activated mysterious power, under the Dragon Qi suppression, the strength they exhibit can only affect ordinary people and does not impact Martial Dao Qi Blood cultivators; hence, you cannot act recklessly. If the Zhang Family faces extinction, the Eight Great Clans will undoubtedly be in peril, and the Great Victory Dynasty will be divided in an instant." Dugu Qiu spoke, dissuading the trio of divine beings, secretly transmitting sound:

"Besides, who knows what methods the Zhang Family still possesses? If unforeseen crises arise, we all will suffer. The Zhang Family should indeed face extinction, as should the Eight Great Clans, but before thoroughly probing their depths, our Great Victory royalty mustn’t act. The Great King has already devised a plan to pit the Eight Great Clans against each other, you must refrain from impulsively disrupting the Great King’s strategy."

Dugu Qiu stood out to dissuade the trio of divine spirits, not because the Great Victory Human King truly had absolute certainty, but rather because he believed Zhang Chen was part of the Zhang Family, and among these people, surely were Zhang Chen’s kin, who must not be slain by the trio of Twelfth Tier divine beings.

Moreover, the Zhang Family’s direct lineage indeed cannot be killed! Once the Zhang Family perishes, the Eight Great Clans will be thrown into fear, and then the Great Victory Dynasty might erupt into flames swiftly, fracturing in an instant.

The trio of divine spirits, upon hearing, coldly snorted without refuting, without further words, suddenly vanished from the void.

Because what Dugu Qiu articulated was indeed reasonable, although the strength of the Eight Great Clans is formidable, their most daunting aspect lies not in their strength alone, but in their omnipresent tentacles and the massive influence affecting everything.
