Chapter 535: Artifact
With a loud boom!
Zhao Sheng's entire body trembled violently, feeling dizzy and disoriented. In a flash of lightning, a strange invisible shockwave surged into his Purple Mansion Soul Sea from the point of contact with his Hand Mace, causing the Soul Sea to churn with surging waves. His Primordial Spirit was almost jolted out of his body.
In the next instant, Zhao Sheng was blasted backward, falling back into the defensive circle of Xie Jue Nan and the others, including the Pig Emperor.
The Pig Emperor's face changed, immediately shielding Zhao Sheng behind him while simultaneously raising the Sawtooth Tusk Blade with both hands, slashing fiercely forward...
Two arcs of Sword Light sliced through the Void, extending thousands of feet. As they passed, a fine shattering noise echoed from the space!
Bang! Bang!
Emperor Yi released the God Beating Mace, his figure flickering slightly as he dodged the Sword Light, instantly appearing above the Pig Emperor's head. His left hand's five fingers bent into a tiger claw, reaching out from afar to slash down on the Pig Emperor's forehead.
Before the claw wind arrived, five sharp, bloody, cold rays enveloped the Pig Emperor's seven orifices, sending chills throughout his body as his Demon Soul erupted!
At the same time, the God Beating Mace soared into the air, its tip trembling slightly, releasing hundreds of massive Mace Lights that shattered the Sword Light upon contact.
The Mace Lights remained undamaged, akin to a torrential downpour, covering hundreds of miles of the Void, crashing towards all the Heavenly Pillar Gods except the Pig Emperor, including the Primordial Spirit of the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord.
The true form of the Heavenly Dao Sect's ultimate treasure, the God Beating Mace, was hidden within countless Mace Lights, blurring between reality and illusion, making it difficult to discern!
Meanwhile, just as the Pig Emperor's forehead was about to be pierced, an unadorned Sword Light appeared, instantly slashing Emperor Yi's left hand. Although the Sword Light penetrated only one inch into the flesh, the tremendous impact force delayed the tiger claw's downward speed by one percent of a breath.
The nearby Great True Monarch Xie reacted swiftly, seizing this opportunity to unleash an invisible force with all his Divine Thought, pushing the Pig Emperor aside, narrowly avoiding disaster.
However, it was uncertain whether intentionally or unintentionally, this act of saving someone exposed Zhao Sheng behind the Pig Emperor.
Emperor Yi's claw missed its target, but his face showed no anger. His left hand shifted from claw to palm, striking out horizontally.
In an instant, a faint, eerie blood-red palm shadow, without a trace of smoke or fire, sliced towards Zhao Sheng's head.
If truly struck, even with Zhao Sheng's heaven-defying abilities, his head would be severed from his body.
In the nick of time, a fiery Meteor flew up from Zhao Sheng's chest, and a half-black, half-white nine-story small tower descended above his head.
The Ten Thousand Fire Tripod spun like lightning, instantly releasing dozens of Heaven and Earth True Fires. These True Fires intertwined and fused along special trajectories, weaving into a splendid, resplendent nine-colored Fire River in the blink of an eye, protecting its master.
The Nine Nether Tower released a vast, invisible suppressive force, crushing the incoming blood-red palm shadow to pieces.
Through Zhao Sheng's centuries-long nurturing and sacrificial refining, both the Ten Thousand Fire Tripod and the Nine Nether Tower had successfully crossed the most critical step, gaining initial spiritual nature and instinctual protective abilities.
At this time, Zhao Sheng barely calmed the Soul Sea's disturbance, suddenly opening his eyes with a look of shock!
"Everyone, be careful! That golden mace is the Heavenly Dao Sect's ultimate treasure, the God Beating Mace. It's already a Spiritual Treasure! Be cautious not to get hit; otherwise, even a small mistake could knock the Primordial Spirit out of your body."
After regaining clarity, Zhao Sheng immediately transmitted a message to the other Fellow Daoists while swinging his right arm to punch. Surging Mana rushed to the fist's edge, amplifying its power tenfold, releasing a torrent of light and flame with a punch that poured into the hundred-mile Void, temporarily forcing Emperor Yi back.
Ah!
Zhao Sheng's reminder ultimately missed a step. Suddenly, a scream echoed from seventy miles away.
At this moment, a Chi Demon Banner engulfed in demonic flames was struck by the God Beating Mace, causing the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord's Primordial Spirit to clutch its head and scream, slipping out of the protection of its Magical Treasure and falling into the Void.
Swish!
The golden giant mace blurred, suddenly appearing above the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord's head, crushing down like lightning.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord's Primordial Spirit was smashed into countless Light Points by the God Beating Mace, then entirely absorbed by the Treasure Mace.
Absorbing a Primordial Spirit, the God Beating Mace seemed to have consumed a powerful tonic, its golden light intensified to glaring brightness.
The treasure emitted an exuberant, long hum, spinning briskly as it again released thousands of Mace Lights, transforming into a streak of golden flowing light that merged into the glow, disappearing from sight.
Within the Three Talents Formation's barrier, the Dragon-fishing Elder's goat whiskers fluttered as he shouted, "Not good," then tossed his Dragon Head Crutch, shouting, "Sea Covering Staff, go!"
Roar!
With a dragon's cry shaking heaven and earth, the Sea Covering Staff's Divine Light soared into the sky, growing in the wind. In moments, it transformed into a massive five-clawed True Dragon, with scales and claws flying, swaying its head and tail.
Simultaneously, above the heads of the Dragon-fishing Elder, Mad Monk, and Heavenly Termination Immortal, a section of a seemingly real yet illusory azure sea emerged,
This five-clawed True Dragon was tens of thousands of feet in size, coiling and spiraling through the illusory sea, stirring winds and waves, riding clouds and mist.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Termination Immortal's eyes fixed on the scene, and she spat out a fist-sized, crystal-clear white pearl, exuding an ethereal glow.
"Cold Vagina Pearl, go!"
With a light exclamation, the Cold Vagina Pearl spun swiftly, stirring up vast icy rays and rapidly ascending into the sky, joining with the five-clawed True Dragon.
Ice and water are two sides of the same entity!
At this moment, supported by the Sea Covering Staff's power, the Cold Vagina Pearl's might soared several times over.
In the blink of an eye, countless palm-sized ice crystals descended from the sky, covering a radius of eight hundred miles, each capable of freezing an area of ten feet around them.
