Chapter 3378: Past Grudges
“Hehehe, the Way Wielding clan and the Martial God clan seem to be absolutely certain that the Source of Life will end up with you. In terms of strength, you two are indeed the strongest, but a sovereign god artifact like the Source of Life cannot be obtained through strength alone. It depends on your personal fortune too.” The Poisonous Flame Ancestor snickered. “But that’s for later. Let’s breach the formation first.”
The Martial God sneered in response to what the Poisonous Flame Ancestor said, but he did not say anything more. Instead, he wielded the Divine Spear of World Destruction and erupted with the might of the sovereign god artifact, continuing with his attacks.
The Poisonous Flame Ancestor obviously noticed the Martial God’s confidence. He thought, “Martial God, I am indeed not your opponent right now, but once the Source of Life ends up with me, do I still have to fear you?”
Both the Poisonous Flame Ancestor and the Ocean Returnance Elder were determined to obtain the Source of Life. They were willing to risk it.
That was a sovereign god artifact after all. It was far too tempting, enough to drive any late Grand Prime crazy.
Afterwards, the experts from the four organisations each took a side and attacked the protective formation around the Wood Spirits World at the same time.
A devastating storm of energy immediately erupted in this shattered space.
Under their combined attacks, the defensive formation around the Wood Spirits World grew fainter and fainter. There was not much energy left in the formation.
However, the experts from the four peak organisations completely failed to notice that an old man in a simple gown stood very far away, observing every action that they took.
The old man did not give off any presence. He seemed to have merged with the ways, becoming a part of the laws. Even the powerful senses of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime’s soul failed to notice his existence.
At this moment, the old man’s expression changed. He looked away from the experts of the Saints’ World and turned towards the Wood Spirits World.
The space around the defensive formation of the Wood Spirits World immediately collapsed and a giant, green planet immediately emerged from there.
The defensive formation was connected with the green planet, borrowing the green planet’s power to remain in operation.
“The Source of Life!”
The green planet’s appearance immediately made the peak experts quiver. Their eyes began to burn with interest.
The green planet was the sovereign god artifact of the Wood Spirits, the Source of Life!
“Divine Spear of World Destruction, Way Wielding Stone, it’s you two bastards again.” The artifact spirit’s illusionary face appeared on the Source of Life. It glared at the spear in the Martial God’s hand and the stone tablet from the Way Wielding clan resentfully as it ground its teeth.
However, it noticed something and suddenly began to laugh aloud, taking great pleasure in their misfortune. “Divine Spear of World Destruction, Way Wielding Stone, your masters in the past were all Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, lofty Saint Monarchs renowned through the Saints’ World. Look at your wielders now. Look at how weak they’ve become. They’re actually only mere Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Primes.”
“Hahahaha, I don’t know what ended up happening back then, but it looks like your two clans went into a complete decline since that battle too. Hahahahaha!”
The Martial God and the three experts from the Way Wielding clan were unfazed. They were not from that era, but their clans possessed a large number of ancient records, so they were all aware that it was since the battle with the Spiritsages that their clans entered a decline.
This decline had already lasted for who knew how many years, such that even now, they had yet to return to their peak condition.
They had always been missing a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime.
After all, experts of that cultivation were not that easy to produce.
“Hmm? Your cultivation methods actually seem slightly familiar…” At this moment, the artifact spirit turned towards the Poisonous Flame Ancestor and the Ocean Convergence Elder. After a moment of thought, it remembered something and immediately erupted with killing intent. “I remember now. You’re actually their successors. Your ancestors killed a large number of our experts in the past. You have an irreconcilable grudge with us.”
“Dammit. You’re actually all mortal enemies of our Wood Spirits.” The artifact spirit glanced past the six experts furiously and ground her teeth.
“Source of Life, who knows how many years it has been since that era. Your grievances with our predecessors have all vanished with our predecessors’ passing. It shouldn’t be passed onto us,” the ancestor of the Way Wielding clan said calmly.
“The founding ancestor of our Fire Fiend sect only obtained a supreme expert’s legacy and cultivation method accidentally. We actually have nothing to do with that supreme expert,” the Poisonous Flame Expert said firmly as well.
“Our Myriad Rivers sect’s founding ancestor also obtained a supreme expert’s cultivation method, which led him to founding the sect. Moreover, the founding ancestor passed away many years ago. He was the first generation of our Myriad Rivers sect, while I am the ninety-eighth generation,” said the Ocean Convergence Elder of the Myriad Rivers sect. He tried his best to distance himself from the creator of the cultivation method to avoid any disputes with the Source of Life.
“What’re we saying all this for? Breach the formation and only then will we have a chance at obtaining the Source of Life.” The Martial God did not try to explain anything. His presence surged as he unleashed a startling fighting will, directly thrusting out with the Divine Spear of World Destruction.
“Annihilation of the Myriad Ways!”
As he thrust out with the spear, the might of the world immediately descended. The Martial God directly used a God Tier Battle Skill through the sovereign god artifact.
The power behind a God Tier Battle Skill from a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime was obviously extremely startling. Under the thrust, the ways collapsed as the laws were thrown into disorder. It was as if this strike truly possessed the divine might to slash through the ways.
Boom!
The spear struck the formation around the Wood Spirits World, immediately causing it to dim rapidly. It did not have much energy remaining in the first place from the combined attacks of the six experts earlier, which was immediately exhausted at this moment.
Without any energy left, the defensive formation of the Wood Spirits World collapsed on itself, directly obliterated by the Martial God’s attack.
It was not just the formation. Even the Source of Life was affected.
It had only just awakened from its slumber, nowhere close to its peak condition, and it was without a master. The attack from the Divine Spear of World Destruction immediately exhausted a large amount of energy, causing the Source of Life to dim slightly as well.
“Once I reunite with the Sceptre of Life, I’ll never spare you, Divine Spear of World Destruction!” The artifact spirit of the Source of Life threatened. Its greatest damage was not from the Martial God, but the Divine Spear of World Destruction in the Martial God’s possession.
They were existences of the same level after all. Now that it was wielded by a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, not all of its powers could be unleashed, but it was still much more powerful than the Source of Life.
