Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 641: Sweep, Number One In Huanggu (4)

Two hundred years ago, you attacked me. I couldn't sense you back then. Wu Yuan's gaze was ice-cold. But now?

I have even crystallized the True Intent of the Spatial Rift Dao and stepped into the Domain stage of the Law of Space. You dare lurk within a few hundred thousand li of me, thinking you're well-hidden? That's simply courting death!

Indeed, in the nearly two hundred years since the last battle, Wu Yuan had not only made tremendous progress in the Law of Life, but his comprehension of the Law of Space had also undergone a transformation.

This rate of progress was actually quite normal. After all, before the ambush at the Earth Archeldritch tribe, Wu Yuan had only been cultivating for 170 years. And he had only truly set foot on the path of immortality 150 years ago, not long after his body metamorphosed into a Dao Body.

During the nearly two hundred years of wandering through Huanggu, the souls of Wu Yuan's two true selves had grown increasingly powerful. It could be said that these two hundred years were the true period of accumulation and transformation for Wu Yuan's two true selves.

Limited by the shackles of life, the cultivation phases of Wu Yuan's two true selves remained at the ninth-stage Elysian Field phase and ninth-stage Void Refiner phase. But his Dao comprehension had reached a whole new level, no longer considered bottom-tier even among Archimmortals.

It was precisely because of this profound Dao comprehension that Wu Yuan's mastery of the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts had reached an unprecedented level, allowing his power to surge tremendously once unleashed.

The three Imperial Majesties of the immortal race? In the end, they're just three First Tribulation High Immortals who have comprehended a single Lesser Law. Wu Yuan's gaze was cold and detached.

You should have stayed hidden in your cage. Since you’ve decided to come out, today, I'll send you on your way!

...

"Wu Zong is dead? Just like that?"

"Wu Zong is dead!"

"He can perceive Space, his comprehension of the Law of Space is this profound?" Imperial Majesty Nan You, Heavenly Master Lei Guang, and Heavenly Master Jiu Zhu were all shocked.

He was targeting Wu Zong just now, not chasing me? Imperial Majesty Lei Fu also instantly understood everything.

Wu Yuan's pursuit of him earlier had merely been a feint. His real target had been High Immortal Wu Zong, who had been in hiding all along.

Not good, he's coming after me now. Imperial Majesty Lei Fu's face turned ashen as he continued to flee frantically.

In terms of burst speed, he could reach three hundred thousand li per second. But Wu Yuan could reach four hundred thousand li per second. In four seconds at most, less than a breath's time, he would catch up to him.

Boom! Boom! As one pursued and the other fled in powerful flashes of rainbow and lightning, crossing millions of li in the blink of an eye.

As for Imperial Majesty Nan You, Heavenly Master Lei Guang, and the others? They had all frantically fled in different directions, already putting hundreds of thousands of li between them, not daring to rescue Imperial Majesty Lei Fu.

Rescue? That would be pure suicide! The current Wu Yuan could completely overwhelm them. Moreover, body refiners were most adept at self-preservation.

Boom! In just two seconds, the distance between Wu Yuan and Imperial Majesty Lei Fu had shrunk to a mere two hundred thousand li.

The mountains and earth along their path all trembled, collapsed, and crumbled to dust, with shockwaves spreading in all directions. This wasn't even combat, merely the result of their flight speed.

They drew ever closer.

Am I really going to die here? Imperial Majesty Lei Fu's heart was gripped with despair.

In the past, he had relied on his speed to roam Huanggu unrivaled. But today, he had finally encountered someone whose speed completely overwhelmed his own.

...

In a part of the seemingly calm and quiet expanse of the void, space was distorted, and a pallid figure stood there. It was Imperial Majesty Da Yan.

Wu Zong is dead. He can perceive Space. I fear I cannot escape Hou Feng's perception. Imperial Majesty Da Yan realized.

He had originally been the backup, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Wu Yuan. But the power Wu Yuan had unleashed was too strong, turning this plan into a joke.

He had two choices. The first option was to remain motionless, praying Wu Yuan hadn't detected his presence. The second was to flee.

But how powerful was his predictive ability? Through the Mirror of Creation, he instantly deduced that Wu Yuan's flight speed was terrifyingly fast, and his spatial awareness even more extraordinary.

To flee meant certain death. And staying put had a ninety-nine percent chance of being a dead end as well.

Will we all perish here today? Imperial Majesty Da Yan lamented inwardly.

Having grasped the full situation, his heart turned resolute, a glimmer of desperation and madness flashing in his eyes.

So be it! No matter what, I'm doomed. Big brother, Second Brother, I'll exert every ounce of my strength to try to save you.

This Hou Feng may possess power defying the heavens, but he is ultimately just an Eldritch General. Imperial Majesty Da Yan believed he had discerned Wu Yuan's fatal weakness – Dao Heart!

The Archeldritch Divine Artifacts, infused with the essence of Life, greatly enhances soul attack and defense. Though inferior to the Creation Divine Artifacts, they are equally miraculous. Imperial Majesty Da Yan understood this clearly.

But while soul defense could be improved, one’s Dao Heart and will couldn't be altered; this was the inner core of every living being.

Destroying him is too much to hope for, I merely pray that it’s enough to disrupt him for a moment, allowing my brothers to escape with their lives. Imperial Majesty Da Yan had made his decision without a shred of hesitation.

Imperial Majesty Lei Fu had left him no time to waver.

Boom! Imperial Majesty Da Yan’s vital aura erupted, growing overwhelmingly vast like a raging inferno.

Then a bronze mirror rose, emanating an inconceivable radiance. With a thunderous roar, Imperial Majesty Da Yan's vital aura surged into it like a tidal wave!

Hm? Third brother? Imperial Majesty Nan You sensed this anomaly in mid-flight. His expression instantly shifted, a flicker of sorrow crossing his face.

As someone also wielding a Creation Divine Artifact, he knew exactly what Imperial Majesty Da Yan was doing: sacrificing his life to unleash the full power of the Creation Divine Artifact!

“Big Brother, Second Brother, I can't accompany you further on the path of immortality, haha." Imperial Majesty Da Yan's voice resonated simultaneously in the minds of Imperial Majesty Nan You and Imperial Majesty Lei Fu.

This voice was utterly serene, yet it made both their hearts tremble.

Having fought side by side to reach this point, the bond of brotherhood between the three was beyond imagination. They were truly willing to lay down their lives for each other.

Boom! Imperial Majesty Da Yan's dazzlingly brilliant vital aura suddenly extinguished. He had perished.

At that instant, the Mirror of Creation's radiance illuminated its surroundings. A blinding arc of light instantly pierced through the sky. This light, imbued with unfathomable power, traversed through higher spatial dimensions, silently crossing a million li in an instant, seemingly possessing the ability to lock onto a target.

Then, it struck Wu Yuan! Everything happened too swiftly.

"Not good."

"Hou Feng, be careful." Eldritch Deity Hou Tu and High Eldritch Hou Zhi's expressions changed abruptly.

At this moment, they were attempting to intercept the fleeing Imperial Majesty Nan You and the others. They could only watch helplessly as that terrifying arc of light struck Wu Yuan.

"Is it a soul attack?"

"So fast. Eldritch Deity Hou Feng can surely withstand any other kind of assault. But a soul attack? Hard to say." Eldritch Deity Hou Tu and High Eldritch Hou Zhi were quite worried.

In their view, no matter how extraordinary Wu Yuan was, no matter how profound his Dao comprehension, his soul and Dao Heart were likely still vulnerabilities.

...

This special attack from the Mirror of Creation instantly smothered Wu Yuan, and terrifying soul fluctuations swept forth.

Roar~ It was as if countless ghosts were shrieking, or billions of spirits were roaring in rage, forming a terrifying force. It also contained a trace of an indescribably bizarre illusory fluctuation.

Soul attack! Illusory realm engulfment! Imperial Majesty Da Yan's sacrificial soul attack was potent enough to annihilate an ordinary High Eldritch.

However, an invisible, formidable wave of soul power protected Wu Yuan, a power derived from the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts.

Rumble! The soul attack collided with this defensive soul power, instantly weakening it by ninety-nine percent.

How could the remaining trace of power possibly wound Wu Yuan, who had cultivated soul defense secret arts? It was worth noting that Wu Yuan's body refiner self's soul had long since reached the Yuan Soul level. His soul could rival that of a peak-stage Earth Eldritch.

One could say that the remaining trace of power was utterly incapable of affecting Wu Yuan.

Only that wisp of illusory soul fluctuation directly bypassed the numerous soul defenses, pulling Wu Yuan's consciousness into it.

This was an extremely special technique unique to the Mirror of Creation.

Whoosh! Originally flying at high speed, Wu Yuan’s eyes suddenly became vacant, as though he had fallen into an illusion.
