Chapter 2072: Ruthless Slaughter, Feng Ye Sword Venerable
Chapter 2072: Chapter 2072: Ruthless Slaughter, Feng Ye Sword Venerable
Crash!
Ye Feng leaped up, causing the surrounding seawater to vaporize into a misty white fog, blowing open vast expanses of the void, clearing a path for him.
On the sea surface.
Ye Feng revealed his form, moving faster and faster.
By the seaside cottage.
The Invincible Old Man drank a bowl of fish soup, gazing into the depths of the Cosmic Sea, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
"This young man’s universe is truly miraculous. He can ignore the suppression of cultivation levels by the Cosmic Sea, unleashing battle power beyond the limit. He is indeed remarkable! Truly, he can be called the greatest of all time."
The old man praised sincerely.
Then, he squinted, feeling increasingly sleepy, and subconsciously yawned.
"Being too powerful isn’t a good thing."
The old man often felt very sleepy.
His strength was terrifying, nearly surpassing the limits of heaven and earth. The consciousness of the world feared he would cause destruction and thus hoped he would sleep as much as possible.
In this way, the world could remain at peace.
However, how could the world’s consciousness know, once these pinnacle existences fell asleep, the subconscious evil thoughts that couldn’t be severed would escape to wreak havoc.
That would truly be a disaster!
...
Twin Universe.
Crack!
Vast expanses of the void began to collapse.
The current universe had been battered by the terrifying Blood Sacrifice Killing Array into a mess of scars and void cracks. Strange energies from foreign realms poured into the universe, wreaking havoc, reducing countless splendid and prosperous star domains to dust.
Countless living beings wailed, perishing and vanishing.
At the formation center.
The Ancestor of Demons, having been fought until only half of his body remained, found the curse on him growing ever more sinister and terrifying.
The Mad Drunkard, Three-legged Golden Toad, Void Beast, Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, Old Sect Leader, Shi Youyou, and Shenzhou’s Heavenly Dao—these seven veteran Heavenly Venerables had been battered to ruins.
Crack!
The Army-Destroyer Sword Spear was fractured, no longer sharp.
The Eye of Truth was cracked and lost its former divine glow, surrounded by mist.
"What a terrifying Blood Sacrifice Killing Array!"
The Ancestor of Demons gasped, looking at his shattered body with lingering fear.
Previously, they had erupted into a bloody battle.
But even with all their might, they were still grievously wounded by the Blood Moon’s Ninth Elder and the leading elders of the Abyss Clan through the Blood Sacrifice Killing Array. Though they managed to slay more than ten Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, they were exhausted.
"Hasn’t Ye Feng returned yet? Alas, I’m afraid we can’t wait any longer." The Old Sect Leader sighed.
His body began to disintegrate.
The other Heavenly Venerables were the same.
Millions of years ago, they were killed by a terrifying enemy who attacked from afar. Although their residual souls had been nurtured in the universe for years, they hadn’t fully recovered.
After this battle, years of accumulation were exhausted.
They would die once again.
"I... can still fight!" The Three-legged Golden Toad gripped the broken Army-Destroyer Sword Spear, stepping forward, his severed leg mysteriously regrowing, transforming into the appearance of Meng Chen, a middle-aged man with stubble in a blue Dao robe.
"Kill!"
Meng Chen charged with the spear, only to be engulfed by the destructive beams of the Blood Sacrifice Killing Array, ultimately perishing and vanishing, leaving behind the almost completely shattered Army-Destroyer Sword Spear.
"Kill!"
The remaining Heavenly Venerables also charged forward.
"Hmph, if you were at peak strength, I would turn and flee, but now, I can kill you with a flick of my wrist!" sneered the Blood Moon’s Ninth Elder, extending a finger.
Pop!
A beam of blood-colored destruction shot out, piercing through the body of Shi Youyou, the Moon Heavenly Venerable. Yet, in her dying moments, she burned her soul, erupting into a brilliant moon.
Swoosh!
Countless beams of moonlight exploded, piercing through many Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, causing them to perish and vanish.
The other Heavenly Venerables of the Twin Universe marched to their deaths, ultimately all perished, but they also slew around two or three hundred Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, leaving only a little over a hundred.
"Am I going to die too?"
The Ancestor of Demons sighed, maintaining his Ancestral Demon True Body, clutching the broken giant axe, ready to burn his Heavenly Venerable body for a final blood battle.
Pop!
Suddenly, the center of the starry sky was suffused with a dazzling swirl of colorful mist, as if connecting to an ancient and vast place.
"Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments are descending!"
"That’s a true Flawless Heavenly Venerable. Could this universe still have Heavenly Venerables? That’s right, the Twin Universe has nine Great Heavenly Venerables. Which of the two are descending now?"
The Blood Moon’s Ninth Elder and others said solemnly.
"What is there to fear, just a few Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, even if they descend, what can they do?"
But the next moment.
Several figures descended, led by a handsome young man.
"Emperor Beihe!"
Upon seeing the leading Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment, the Minor Immortal Realm’s Boundary Master, Replica Ancient Saint, was stunned. It was Beihe, who had lived in the Minor Immortal Realm for many years.
"It’s me, I am late."
Emperor Beihe surveyed the surroundings, sensing that the aura of the Mad Drunkard and others had become extremely weak, clearly having burned their souls in battle, now dead once more.
"You are... the Sun Heavenly Venerable?" The shattered and severely wounded Ancestor of Demons looked at Beihe.
"It’s me, apologies for being late." Emperor Beihe sighed lightly, then looked at the Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments beside him, "Fellow Daoists, please help me slay these invaders!"
"Okay."
The corporeal entities of these Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments were all friends of Emperor Beihe, all Flawless Heavenly Venerables like Beihe. This time, they descended to aid the Twin Universe.
"You’re quite good, your corporeal form seems to be a Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable, but having entered the Cosmic Sea, your Spirit Fragment’s strength is also suppressed, dreaming of killing us?!"
The Blood Moon’s Ninth Elder sneered.
Rumble!
The Blood Sacrifice Killing Array unleashed its might once more, endlessly oppressive forces rolled in, shattering the Spirit Fragments of Emperor Beihe and several Heavenly Venerables, but they fought desperately, also slaying several Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, not without worth.
"Alas, the universe is too hard!"
Before his death, Emperor Beihe flicked a finger, infusing the remaining power of his Spirit Fragment into the body of the Ancestor of Demons, allowing his broken body to partially recover and regain combat strength.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Beihe and his friends’ Spirit Fragments all exploded and perished.
"Hmph, thinking a few Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments could obstruct us?" The Blood Moon’s Ninth Elder laughed coldly. "Once we finish dealing with the Twin Universe, we’ll issue a warrant for these Heavenly Venerables’ corporeal forms in the Origin of All Things and kill them without mercy!"
With that, they turned their gaze to the Ancestor of Demons.
"Alas, am I really going to die?" The Ancestor of Demons gripped the giant axe in both hands, his back to all beings, facing the nearly hundred Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, letting out a bitter laugh.
He had just become a Heavenly Venerable!
His foundation was not yet fully established, and he hadn’t even created his own Heavenly Venerable Divine Skills, yet he directly participated in this fierce cosmic-grade battle.
He also wanted to live.
But the enemies were too strong.
"Die!" The Blood Moon’s Ninth Elder conjured a seal with his hands, activating the Blood Sacrifice Killing Array to annihilate the Ancestor of Demons.
"Alas!"
At this moment, from the depths of the void, a sigh that invigorated everyone rang out.
"Ye Feng?"
Everyone looked toward the location of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, which had been shattered, with only a mystical cosmic passage left, surrounded by chaotic mist.
Thud!
Heavy footsteps echoed.
A tall and upright figure walked out, followed by Emperor Dragon Sovereign, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and several half-step Heavenly Venerables who had died but were now resurrected, like the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, and Six-Eyed Divine King.
"It’s really Ye Feng!"
"The Sect Leader has returned!"
"Our last hope has come back!"
The remaining beings of the universe wept, they had waited too long for this moment!
Ye Feng walked on the chaotic mist, a radiant cosmic-grade halo blooming behind him, holding the Primordial Sword Embryo in hand, an extremely sharp aura erupting from the sword edge.
He glanced around the current universe and couldn’t help but sigh.
Ultimately, he was still late!
Seven Heavenly Venerables consumed a million years’ worth of accumulated Origin Energy to revive, and were slain again. Emperor Beihe descended across realms with several Heavenly Venerable friends’ Spirit Fragments, yet still was defeated.
In the universe, countless beings were slaughtered.
Xiao Cangtian, Wu Xuan, Heavenly Venerable Lu... so many familiar faces had vanished.
This pained Ye Feng’s heart.
Moreover, signs of collapse have appeared across the universe, and there’s no way to reverse it. Even if all enemies are eliminated, the Twin Universe will still disintegrate.
"Ye Feng... Brother Feng! Kill them, avenge the universe’s beings!" Emperor Dragon Sovereign roared, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent.
He looked at Ye Feng, his eyes brimming with admiration!
It’s simply because Ye Feng was too terrifying!
Just moments ago, Ye Feng officially returned to Outer Domain Battlefield One, witnessing Emperor Dragon Sovereign and others battling nearly twenty Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments of utmost refinement.
Then, Ye Feng made his move.
He directly unleashed a fierce Sword Qi, and even the mightiest Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment, even in the peak state of utmost refinement, couldn’t withstand his single strike and was instantly killed, vanishing into nothing.
Ye Feng’s power, beyond anyone’s imagination!
Emperor Dragon Sovereign believed that Ye Feng’s full-force strike could definitely explode a high-grade Great Universe!
"Are you Ye Feng? Hmph, a coward hiding behind a facemask, quickly hand over the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree!"
The Elder of the Ninth Blood Moon sneered.
They also had over a hundred Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, each one at utmost refinement, boasting formidable power, along with the Blood Sacrifice Killing Array formed by the blood and Spiritual Energy of half the universe’s beings, even trapping a Heavenly Venerable’s true body would result in slaughter.
Therefore, he was completely fearless.
Ye Feng didn’t respond to the Elder of the Ninth Blood Moon, merely slashing a Sword Qi across the space, snow-white and fierce, like a hanging radiant star river, dazzling but concealing a deadly threat.
"So fast... How is this possible?"
The Elder of the Ninth Blood Moon attempted to dodge, only to find his speed too slow, barely catching sight of the Sword Qi that brushed past his body.
Then, his entire being exploded.
A sword strike slaying a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment of utmost refinement!
"Hiss!"
"That’s the power of a Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could such power be unleashed in the Cosmic Sea? This breaks the eternal rules of the Cosmic Sea!"
The remaining ones cried out in terror.
"Kill!"
Ye Feng raised the Primordial Sword Embryo, unleashing another Sword Qi like a star river draped across the sky, obliterating the leading Elder Spirit Fragment from the Abyss Clan.
"Slay all of you outer invaders!"
Ye Feng stood in place, sending Sword Qi across half the universe, each capable of obliterating a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment of utmost refinement, his strength unparalleled.
As the Minor Universe continued refining the remaining portion of the Great Dao Golden Core, its transformation accelerated, absorbing more Void Origin Energy, strengthening the Minor Universe.
His power began to approach the Third-Turn Heavenly Venerable.
Any Sword Qi he unleashed possessed several times the power, tens to hundreds of times, compared to a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment at utmost refinement.
Slaughtering them, entirely effortlessly.
"My God, is this person a devil?"
A Fifth-Turn Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment was slain, its memories rapidly returned to the true body, leaving it stunned.
Abyss Clan, Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan.
The Elder of the Ninth Blood Moon, the leading Abyss Clan Elder, Qingyuan, White Ape, Jin Yuan, and the Heavenly Venerable true bodies all opened their eyes, accepting the returning memories from their Spirit Fragments.
Then, they trembled violently.
They sensed it clearly, the aura emanating from Ye Feng seemed infinitely close to a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, yet he hadn’t formally become one.
But, his strength was incredibly terrifying.
Just one Sword Strike almost matched a Third-Turn Heavenly Venerable.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The news of the internal war within the Twin Universe swiftly spread through the Abyss Clan and Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, even the Clan Leader and Great Elder, pinnacle of Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerables, were both shocked, summoning all members to gather at the Holy Temple.
"How could this happen?"
"That Ye Feng, he could exhibit strength approaching the Third-Turn Heavenly Venerable in the Cosmic Sea, didn’t this break the eternal, unchanging rules?"
"What does that mean? We need to pay attention to the fact that Ye Feng is only close to a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, yet already possesses such monstrous strength. If he breaks through to One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, won’t he directly rival the Seventh-Turn Heavenly Venerable?"
"Isn’t this way too frightening?"
"It can’t be calculated like this!"
"Why not?"
"Ye Feng is cultivating the Inner Universe Path, with profound foundations, like being favored by the gods, allowing him to overcome multiple realms to slay enemies at low levels, but once he formally enters the Heavenly Venerable Realm, some advantages will be lost, preventing him from skipping multiple realms to kill enemies."
"At that time, he could merely match a Fourth or Fifth-Turn Heavenly Venerable, but couldn’t directly rival the Seventh-Turn."
The surrounding Heavenly Venerables chimed in.
"Is this a moment to discuss such a problem? Currently, Ye Feng is incredibly formidable, the hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments we dispatched were all slain, and Ye Feng hides in the Cosmic Sea, leaving us utterly helpless to him."
"Don’t worry, Clan Leader. Before we died, we already detonated the blood sacrifice killing array. The Twin Universe is doomed."
"What’s the use of that? What I want is the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, not some mere Cosmic Crystal."
The Abyss Clan Chief and the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan Leader snorted coldly, both not very satisfied.
The contents of the meeting quickly spread.
Everyone around the Abyss Clan and the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan heard the news, learned that a super prodigy named Ye Feng had emerged from the Cosmic Sea, his terrifying strength allowing him to annihilate a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment with a single sword.
In private, some called Ye Feng a "young venerable," believing that he would certainly become a Boundless Venerable Realm’s super powerhouse in the future.
"Ye Feng? Maple Leaf? How about Maple Leaf Sword Venerable? Haha, the name is quite nice."
A certain Heavenly Venerable said.
"Maple Leaf Sword Venerable?"
Other Heavenly Venerables, upon hearing this title, all felt that Ye Feng was deserving of this title, after all, his combat prowess was truly terrifying, killing those of the same level as if they were ants.
"I heard the Twin Universe exploded, and Ye Feng will certainly become a wanderer, soon he should cross the Cosmic Sea and arrive at the Origin of All Things."
"At that time, it will definitely be lively."
"I’m looking forward to meeting him."
"Maple Leaf Sword Venerable? Young Boundless Venerable? Huh, what chaotic title is this, someone who cultivates the path of the inner cosmos, can’t even become a Dao Monarch, no need to keep paying attention to this person unless he can break through to Dao Monarch."
Countless voices echoed at the Origin of All Things.
Some were super strong, appreciating this junior Ye Feng. Some were super prodigies, feeling Ye Feng was not worthy to be compared to them.
After all, whether Ye Feng could advance to Dao Monarch was a question worth pondering.
The appearance of Ye Feng at the Origin of All Things sparked heated discussions, shocking countless people.
Godly Ape Clan.
A powerful group of apes resided here, considering themselves Godly Apes, with a Dao Monarch Realm holding the fort, and being the hegemon-level power in the surrounding region, very powerful.
At this moment, atop a mountain.
Xiao Fangu, hearing news about Ye Feng and the title of Maple Leaf Sword Venerable, was instantly left speechless.
"Hiss!"
"How could he have become so terrifying?"
"With just half-step Heavenly Venerable, he can show the strength of a Third-turn Heavenly Venerable. If he truly breaks through to One-turn Heavenly Venerable, wouldn’t he defy the heavens?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Fangu shivered.
Moreover, upon hearing the Old Sect Leader was once the Life Heavenly Venerable, he was further astounded.
"Alas, what did I miss?"
Xiao Fangu gritted his teeth; had he known the Misty Sect’s Old Sect Leader was a reincarnated Heavenly Venerable, how could he have ever betrayed?
But his current situation seemed better.
After all, the Old Sect Leader seemed only around the Sixth-turn to Seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable, and had fallen in battle. In contrast, he had joined the Godly Ape Clan, had a hegemon-level Dao Monarch Realm powerhouse as master.
His future looked bright.
"Ye Feng cultivates the inner cosmos path, destined to be stuck at the perilous peak of the Ninth-turn Heavenly Venerable. Even if his combat power is extremely terrifying, when I break through to Dao Monarch and Dao Venerable Realm, I can crush him just the same!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Fangu calmed down.
...
Twin Universe.
Ye Feng, after slaying hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments within the universe, discovered the blood sacrifice killing array had exploded, shaking the universe into significant collapse, beyond repair.
Then, he decisively charged into the Outer Battlefield Area Two, slaying that batch of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments entangled with Hu Feifei and others, then returned to the universe.
From then on, the battle ended.
But the Twin Universe also reached its end.
Above the Heavenly Origin Sea.
Ye Feng stood before the collapsing Great Dao Golden List, followed by Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, Ancestor of Demons, and others, all looking grim.
"Ye Feng, I’m going to explode."
The Great Dao Golden List spoke, being the manifestation of cosmic consciousness, communicating with it was akin to communicating with the Twin Universe’s consciousness, without any difference.
"If you explode, what about us?"
Ye Feng sighed.
"Fear not, aren’t you cultivating the inner cosmos path? I can grant you great fortune!" The Great Dao Golden List chuckled, seemingly relieved.
"Great fortune?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
The others were also all surprised.
