Chapter 2158: Death of the Shenque City Young City Lord
Chapter 2158: Chapter 2158: Death of the Shenque City Young City Lord
No one knew that Ye Feng possessed the Annihilation Origin Stone.
At that moment, everyone hovered outside the giant translucent shield spanning a million miles.
"Is this shield truly unbreakable?"
Daoist Venerable Heiyan sneered.
He was one of the adversaries of the Annihilation Dao Venerable, who had, in the past, trained on other continents and became enemies with Daoist Venerable Heiyan over some disputes, leading to a fierce battle.
As a result, the Annihilation Dao Venerable was severely injured and fled.
Daoist Venerable Heiyan had learned that the Annihilation Dao Venerable had left behind a tomb, and judging by the injuries from their battle, he suspected that his foe might not be dead.
Today, he intended to kill the Annihilation Dao Venerable to eliminate any future threats, and in doing so, devour his origin.
A Dao Venerable’s origin is extremely valuable.
Should he obtain an unexpected opportunity, it might lead to insights and a breakthrough in his realm.
However, the mortality rate for Dao Venerables is exceedingly low.
Thus, opportunities to devour a Dao Venerable are rare.
This chance is truly unprecedented.
"Heiyan Dragon Roar, break!"
Daoist Venerable Heiyan shouted, forming seals with his hands. Countless black stone dragons gathered above his head, transforming into a thousand-meter long and wide treasured seal and slamming down hard.
Boom!
The tomb shield of the Annihilation Dao Venerable merely shook violently but did not shatter.
This surprised everyone.
"What an impressive formation; it’s of Dao Venerable level and can absorb the power of heaven and earth within its range as its defense origin. Even a mid-stage Dao Venerable would struggle to break it."
Daoist Venerable Heiyan said gravely.
"Let me try." Another Dao Venerable from a different continent stepped forward, thrusting a black spear at the shield’s surface, but was repelled, unable to breach the defense.
"Indeed, it’s a Dao Venerable-level heavenly formation."
The person retreated, choosing not to continue attacking.
Other Dao Monarchs stepped forward one by one, even Beauty Old Ancestor and Jade Capital Ancestor took turns attacking. However, Jade Capital Ancestor consistently revealed only peak early-stage Dao Venerable cultivation aura, without fully exposing his strength.
Few knew he had broken through and was the highest cultivation level person present.
"This formation is impressive!"
Ye Feng looked at the massive formation covering a million-mile area, feeling moved.
If the Annihilation Dao Venerable could be subdued, couldn’t this formation also become part of the Misty Holy Sect’s protective arsenal? It could be transformed into a new Sect Protection Array.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt quite hopeful.
"Let me try again." A Dao Venerable took out a spirit talisman token, attempting to pass through the shield, but was stopped.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let’s just wait patiently! The time has yet to come; even wielding a token won’t enable entry into the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb."
Jade Capital Ancestor advised.
Upon hearing this, everyone could only retreat nearby and wait.
On the second day, at noon.
Boom!
The shield of the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb suddenly radiated a layer of faint golden light; Jade Capital Ancestor loudly announced, "Everyone, you may enter now."
Then, he took out a spirit talisman.
Swoosh!
Jade Capital Ancestor boldly was the first to hold a spirit talisman and pass through the shield, entering the tomb’s range.
"We can really go in now."
Upon seeing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
"Haha, Annihilation Dao Venerable, this time, even if you hide in your tomb, you cannot survive." Daoist Venerable Heiyan sneered before entering the tomb second.
Boom boom boom!
Others holding spirit talisman tokens consecutively passed through the shield that could fend off Dao Venerable attacks, entering within.
"Sect Leader, could there be a trick? Given how formidable the tomb’s shield of the Annihilation Dao Venerable is, Dao Venerables failed to breach it, if we’re trapped inside, won’t we be stuck in danger, unable to escape?" Shi Lei worriedly asked.
Ye Feng replied: "I have a way to get out."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Ye Feng said so, then surely there was.
"Let’s go!"
Ye Feng took out a token and led everyone through the thick translucent shield, entering a lush forest sprawling a million miles. The inside was misty with abundant spiritual energy. Deer roamed and called out, imparting a fairy-like atmosphere.
"This place... could this really be the tomb?"
Shi Lei looked around, feeling surprised, having expected the inside of a tomb to be a barren wasteland!
"It’s only natural; after all, it’s the tomb of a top-tier Dao Venerable-level overlord. Everything here is incomparable to the outside world." Ye Feng explained.
Then, he scrutinized the surroundings.
Through the Annihilation Origin Stone’s senses, Ye Feng confirmed that the Annihilation Dao Venerable was indeed alive, merely hiding within the depths of this vast forest tomb.
"Sect Leader, do you know where the target is?"
Mo Ying approached Ye Feng.
Ye Feng shook his head, saying, "I only know he’s roughly in the central area; as for precisely which corner, we’ll have to see once we get there."
Hu Feifei, carrying the Hunyuan Staff, wearing a pink dress.
"Sect Leader, I’m so bored! Can you tell me where the target is? I want a fight."
As she said this, she leaned into Ye Feng’s embrace.
Ye Feng, helpless, lifted Hu Feifei up: "Coquettish Consort, so many people here; yet, you still dare to tease!"
"Sect Leader, I just twisted my ankle, how is that teasing? You’re slandering me again."
Hu Feifei said coyly.
Ye Feng was speechless.
A Heavenly Venerable, twisting an ankle?
Can’t you come up with better excuses for your lies?
Ye Feng chose not to expose Hu Feifei’s lie, surveying the area, saying: "This tomb has been isolated from the world for many years, containing numerous powerful beasts. Spread out within and train yourselves, but don’t approach the central area. There’ll be an earth-shattering battle there, it’s too dangerous. Although you won’t die, going there would be a waste of time."
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
In a moment, a team of over ten thousand had dispersed into the surroundings, quickly disappearing deep into the forest.
In situ, a group remained.
Ye Feng, Hu Feifei, Radiant Daoist, Tian Qi, Zhou Yan, Zhou Jian, Tian Heng, Soaring Sky City City Lord, Fei Hong.
"Everyone not going?" Ye Feng asked.
"The Annihilation Dao Venerable surely isn’t dead yet; the central area is a Dao Venerable-level combat zone, we can watch the battle, no need to go there seeking death."
Soaring Sky City City Lord smiled and replied.
Others also smiled wryly.
Clearly, they all opted for safety.
But...
Rumble!
The nearby earth shook, some forests began rising towards the sky as if giant worms were rapidly burrowing from subterranean zones, looking extremely spectacular.
"Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable’s peak aura."
Ye Feng looked at the constantly rising ground, within ten breaths, they encountered it.
Boom!
Soaring Sky City City Lord took action, unleashing his full Dao Monarch peak cultivation, slapping the rising ground, causing wailing sounds from within.
"What is this?"
Zhou Yan pointed at the ground.
"We’ll find out soon." Ye Feng gently raised his arm, underground emerged a shadow of a monster, about a hundred meters long, resembling an armored sandworm.
"Is this the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tactic?"
Everyone looked at the sandworm and said.
"Did the Annihilation Dao Venerable cultivate such fierce sandworms in the tomb, intending to devour those who enter?" Hu Feifei looked at Ye Feng, "Yet, it’s not strong enough!"
Ye Feng frowned and said: "What if the quantity is sufficient? Say, ten thousand."
As he said this, he turned to look into the distance.
Rumble!
In the distance, the ground kept rising, albeit not as high, but the exposed aura was at Five-turn Heavenly Venerable level, not weak.
"One, two, three... five hundred!"
Hu Feifei counted the number of raised earth around, surprisingly there were over five hundred sandworms, looking from afar, the continually rising earth was like raging waves.
"Quite a lot in number."
"The highest are at the peak of Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, the weakest are Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable, most are Seven and Eight-Turn. How did the Annihilation Dao Venerable cultivate so many sandworms here? Logically, even heavenly venerables should not be so easily cultivated, right? Could it be this place is naturally suitable for cultivation?"
The people started discussing.
They were not afraid of these sandworms.
Because, as Ye Feng drew his sword, tens of thousands of sword lights slashed out, splitting the five hundred sandworms in half, ending their lives instantly.
"Returning to the previous topic."
Ye Feng sheathed his sword, flicked a sandworm’s carcass into the air, only upon careful inspection could they discover the surface of the sandworm resembled wood grain.
"Why is it made of wood?" Zhou Yan was surprised.
Zhou Jian pointed at the sandworm’s carcass and said, "These sandworms are not real sandworms, but the wood from this large forest transformed by the formation into special guardians, hence endless and unkillable."
"I see." Zhou Yan suddenly understood.
Ye Feng swung his sword again, splitting a sandworm’s carcass, and true enough it turned into a pile of wood shavings.
"Everyone, let’s battle!"
Ye Feng suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone flew into the sky, looking into the distance, only to find the ground rapidly elevating, and more and more armored sandworms were gathering here.
The great battle was about to begin.
"Kill!"
Everyone scattered to slay the armored sandworms.
...
Shenque City, City Lord’s Mansion.
Crack!
Shenque City Young City Lord furiously threw the teacup to the ground, staring at Miaoyin Fairy’s portrait hung on the wall with eyes full of anger.
"Damn Ye Feng!"
"No, more damnable is Miaoyin Fairy, this vicious woman, who dared to betray me."
"Heh!"
Shenque City Young City Lord licked his lips, realizing the powerful of Miaoyin Square all went to Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb, leaving only Miaoyin Fairy guarding Miaoyin Square.
Isn’t this a good opportunity?
Thinking of the joy of dual cultivation with Miaoyin Fairy, Shenque City Young City Lord evilly smiled and headed out of the mansion, preparing to transport to the city where Miaoyin Square is located.
Thereafter, to dual cultivate with Miaoyin Fairy.
Thinking of that mesmerizing feeling, Shenque City Young City Lord immediately fantasized infinitely.
"Kid, where are you heading?"
A cultivator in the early Dao Monarch stage, seeing Shenque City Young City Lord walk towards the Transporting Holy Temple, immediately asked.
"Uncle Twelve, I’m going to Miaoyin Square."
Shenque City Young City Lord replied.
"Oh, that’s fine, thought you were going to Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb, that is too dangerous, don’t go." Uncle Twelve patted Shenque City Young City Lord’s shoulder.
Just then.
An eerie figure appeared, wielding a sharp blood-colored scythe, with a light swing, Twelve Uncle’s neck was sliced off, and his divine soul shattered.
"Twelve Uncle... no!"
Shenque City Young City Lord exclaimed in shock, unable to fathom why a suspect Dao Monarch peak cultivator infiltrated the City Lord’s Mansion to target Twelve Uncle.
"Who are you?"
Shenque City Young City Lord furiously shouted at the intruder.
The other was cloaked, with his true face obscured, holding a blood-colored scythe looking sinister.
"Dark Night Pavilion, high-level reaper."
The intruder holding the scythe said coldly.
"Dark Night Pavilion?!"
Shenque City Young City Lord’s pupils contracted.
The high-level reaper said, "Your father, City Lord of Shenque City, sent us false information, leading to the fall of Blood Sickle Dao Monarch, today, I am here under orders to harvest you."
"No!"
Shenque City Young City Lord turned to escape, but had no chance against the Dao Monarch peak, a finger pointed at his brow, his divine soul within the knowledge sea crumbled instantly.
"No... I haven’t lived enough yet!"
Shenque City Young City Lord shouted unwillingly, then fell lifelessly, but his physical body remained quite whole.
"A decent body, should fetch a good price." The high-level reaper from Dark Night Pavilion touched Shenque City Young City Lord’s face and laughed.
"Bastard!"
At that moment, another cultivate from early Dao Monarch stage rushed from afar, was Shenque City Young City Lord’s Uncle Eleven, his strength was considerable.
But...
Slash!
The high-level reaper, being Dao Monarch peak, only swung the blood-colored scythe, separating Uncle Eleven’s corpse.
Another Dao Monarch has fallen.
"Today’s gain is decent, not only acquiring a top-tier prodigy’s body, but also two early Dao Monarch bodies, not prodigious but still sellable for their origin substances and Law comprehension crystals."
The high-level reaper chuckled evilly.
The next moment.
He wrapped the three corpses and vanished.
Wuyuan City, Laoshan.
Shenque Ancestor was facing the wall when suddenly, he felt three consecutive heart palpitations, hastily retrieved his soul plaques, his pupils contracted.
"No!"
Looking at the shattered soul plaques of Young City Lord, Uncle Eleven, and Uncle Twelve, Shenque Ancestor painfully cried out.
"Who killed my descendants!"
"I... will have you pay with your blood!"
Shenque Ancestor clenched his fist, gritting his teeth, his eyes full of murderous intent, wishing fervently to swallow his foes alive.
...
Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb.
Ye Feng swung his sword, killing hundreds of sandworms, yet his face showed no delight.
The formation covering the tomb was too formidable.
These sandworms are entirely one of the killing methods derived from transformation by the formation. Besides, there are various powerful ancient beasts, and numerous strong heavenly demons, etc.
No matter how many are killed, they are endless.
"I wonder how the central area is, why hasn’t the great battle begun yet?" Ye Feng was suspicious.
He didn’t intend to act now.
Need to wait for Daoist Venerable Heiyan and others to have a direct confrontation with Annihilation Dao Venerable and suffer mutual harm, only then should he enter with the Annihilation Origin Stone to harvest.
It was not appropriate to act now.
Of course, he could also use the Phantom God Talisman left by Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable for a sudden heavy strike on Annihilation Dao Venerable.
But, it was not necessary.
If able to view the battle from the mountain’s perspective, naturally it is best to conserve strength and avoid unnecessary expenditure.
Annihilation Dao Venerable tomb center.
Here stands a magnificent ancient city, inhabited by many ancient cultivators.
However, all are mere phantoms.
Actually, the entire ancient city is fake.
"Annihilation Dao Venerable, you despicable scoundrel, are you really not dead? Dare you dispel the illusion and reveal your true form to battle us?"
Daoist Venerable Heiyan roared.
Saying this, he gathered the black stone dragon’s roar, heavily smashing the phantom ancient city, causing the ground to shatter, yet the ancient city’s illusion remained firm.
"Annihilation Dao Venerable, come out!"
Daoist Venerable Heiyan shouted again.
"Oh oh, really want to kill me? Moreover, such a crowd, eighteen Dao Venerables, tsk tsk, you all figured out I’m not dead, right? Pity, you can’t kill me, instead, you’ll be killed by me!"
A haughty voice echoed around.
