Chapter 2296 - 2255: Instant Annihilation

Jiangh Churan heard this and showed a worried look, saying, "Little Qiang, you're not thinking this through. If you can't get past this hurdle, don't just talk about our two sons, even we'll be killed. You can't throw your life away just for the boys…"

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen if you follow me. I'm already a Super Physical Body now, no one can easily kill me."

"The legend says the Ancient Divine Emperor's Cultivation Base is Heaven-Piercing, his Divine Sense Phantom Lake. You killed a Divine Thought, this has shaken the entire continent. He'll soon come looking for us. Even if you don't get killed, he'll definitely torment you in every way… make you wish you were dead." Jiangh Churan said.

Jiangh Churan's words were not alarmist at all, nor were they exaggerated in the slightest. If Wang Xiaoqiang ran into the Ancient Divine Emperor, he would definitely be tortured miserably. A fate worse than death.

"Think of another way. There should be some other method." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"In such a short time, how could we think of any method? If it really doesn't work, then we'll run. You said you crossed over from the Ancient Times' Great Era. Why don't you take us back there? We can't stay on this Plane, we can switch to another Plane. As long as we're with you, anywhere can be home." Jiangh Churan said with deep emotion.

Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head, then released Little Zhang, Zhou Jingzhe, and Du Lingfei from the Storage Ring. He briefed them, asking everyone to help think of a way. The more people, the greater the strength. The more people, the more ideas.

After Little Zhang came out, he thought for a moment and said, "I heard before that there's a Spell Technique called Instant Annihilation. This spell defies the heavens, but it's been lost for ages. If Brother Qiang, you can find it and cultivate it, I believe you'll be able to contend against the Ancient Divine Emperor, and further become the master of the Ancient Era."

When Little Zhang finished speaking, Zhou Jingzhe immediately shook his head. "It's been lost for so long and no one's found it. How could Little Qiang possibly find it?"

Little Zhang said, "Brother Qiang has the Heavenly Eye. The Heavenly Eye can perceive what others cannot, far more powerful than the Thousand-Mile Tracking Spell…"

Wang Xiaoqiang had also heard of this Spell Technique "Instant Annihilation." With Instant Annihilation, within a single thought one could control a person's life and death. Moreover, its killing power spreads from point to area: it can kill one, it can kill many; it can kill a single, it can slaughter ten thousand. As long as you cultivate it to a certain level of Heat Control, one thought to slaughter a million would not be impossible.

Extremely powerful.

And his Heavenly Eye indeed can perceive ten thousand miles away. If he were on Earth, with a single glance, perhaps the entire Earth would be within his sight. But this Ancient Continent is far, far too vast. To investigate the entire Ancient Continent would probably take a very long time.

Only now, he had killed a Sect Leader of a Tenth Level Great Sect, a Divine Thought, already alarming the Ancient Divine Emperor. The Ancient Divine Emperor will soon trace it back to him, and he no longer has much time.

"Even if you use the Heavenly Eye, you still need some time. I'm afraid it won't be in time." Jiangh Churan said. Although she was the mother of two Golden Blood Boys, she held to her own view and still hoped Wang Xiaoqiang would use the sons' Golden Blood to Solidify his Physical Body. Her expectations for the sons were not as high as Wang Xiaoqiang's; as long as the two boys could keep their lives, she would be content.

Little Zhang said, "The Instant Annihilation Spell Technique is so powerful, there must be many experts among the common folk searching for its traces, looking everywhere. There will be some clues. As long as we find the general location and then use the Heavenly Eye to investigate, I believe we can get twice the result with half the effort and uncover that Spell Technique completely."

What Little Zhang said was not without reason.

Just like on Earth, although some historical sites still haven't been found, there are always approximate locations: some hidden at the bottom of lakes and seas, some buried in desert forests, some concealed in glacial valleys. They haven't been found because of harsh environments or technical limitations.

This is just like how people of the Ancient Era didn't have the Heavenly Eye. They might have known the rough area where the Instant Annihilation Spell Technique was lost, but they never managed to find it. Now Wang Xiaoqiang only needs to locate that place and open the Heaven-Opening Eye, and he'll be able to discover it.

"Mm, Little Fatty is right." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "In that case, there's no time to lose. I'll start searching right now. For your safety, I'll have to ask you to suffer a bit in my Storage Ring for a few days."

None of them had any objections to this. So Wang Xiaoqiang moved his Willpower and drew them all into the Storage Ring, then began asking around everywhere about the whereabouts of this Instant Annihilation Spell Technique.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang had been on the Ancient Continent for some time, he'd always been busy with Cultivation, busy dealing with vendettas and duels, Martial World grudges, and had never calmed down to take a good look at this world and thoroughly understand this Plane.

Through these inquiries, Wang Xiaoqiang gained a deeper understanding of the Ancient Era. He learned that besides Sect forces, there were also some hidden forces and some experts who lived incognito. And these hidden forces and hidden-name experts had always been searching for the Instant Annihilation Spell Technique. They didn't deliberately pursue power, but for strength they had an obsessive pursuit.

The Instant Annihilation Spell Technique could be said to be the ultimate pursuit of all Cultivators in the Ancient Era. It's just that some, unable to obtain it, shelved this pursuit; some gave up; and some kept painstakingly and stubbornly persevering.

First of all, Instant Annihilation can kill one or slaughter millions. Its might is immense. Once mastered, killing across realms, replacing the Ancient Divine Emperor, and becoming the master of the Ancient Era wouldn't be impossible.

Furthermore, once you master the Instant Annihilation Spell Technique, you can enter a higher Plane, an even older era to Cultivation, to venture. Strictly speaking, that is the Primordial Era.

The Primordial Era is the first era of human origin, extremely ancient, and also the origin of Cultivation. Once there, you can understand all the truths of the world.

Through asking around, Wang Xiaoqiang learned that the Instant Annihilation Technique Scripture had already been lost ten thousand years ago. Back then, it was lost from the hands of Withered Lamp Monk, so people speculate the place of loss was probably the temple where Withered Lamp Monk took vows—the Lampwick Small Temple.

Only after ten thousand years and the changes of the world, the Lampwick Small Temple no longer exists. Fortunately, people, based on historical records and legends, have found the general location of the Lampwick Small Temple on the Ancient Continent. Nowadays there is no small temple there, only a stretch of Barren Mountain and Wilderness.

This place is called Yinqing Ridge.

When Wang Xiaoqiang rushed to Yinqing Ridge upon hearing the news, he discovered that Yinqing Ridge was a perilous area, with towering peaks and deep ravines. Calling it a ridge was less accurate than calling it a bottomless abyss. And upon Yinqing Ridge, chaos reigned: Cultivators constantly flew back and forth, slaughtering and dueling each other.

A scene of Bloody Winds and Rain.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't know whether these Cultivators were fighting over the Instant Annihilation Spell Technique. He had no mind to bother about them. After arriving at Yinqing Ridge, the first thing he did was open the Heavenly Eye and begin searching. After a round of investigation, he swept through an area of ten thousand miles around Yinqing Ridge, even checking underground, but found nothing. However, this search was not without gains—at the very least, he discovered a woman he'd been searching for all along: Empress Chi Yao.
