Chapter 2159: Chapter 2159: The Annihilation Dao Venerable’s Methods
"Annihilation Dao Monarch, you’re indeed still alive!"
The eighteen Dao Venerables looked around but couldn’t tell where Annihilation Dao Monarch was, their expressions grave.
It’s difficult for a Dao Venerable to kill a Dao Venerable.
But now they’re in the heart of Annihilation Dao Monarch’s burial ground, with a Heavenly Formation that even Dao Venerables find hard to break. Perhaps he’s capable of killing them, so they must be careful.
However, upon second thought, they calmed down.
After all, they’re eighteen Dao Venerables!
Even if all of them are at the early stage of the Dao Venerable Realm, their combined power is formidable, at least comparable to the mid-stage Dao Venerable, and they can completely sweep away a mere Annihilation Dao Monarch.
After all, the other party is still wounded.
"This Dao Monarch is naturally still alive... Oh no, I have already advanced to Dao Venerable; in principle, I could change my title to ’Annihilation Dao Venerable’."
Annihilation Dao Monarch’s arrogant voice resounded.
Daoist Venerable Heiyan said coldly, "A mere newly-advanced early Dao Venerable, come out to die."
"It is you who will die." Annihilation Dao Monarch said disdainfully, "I don’t need to lift a finger; this formation alone can annihilate you all."
The next moment, the formation activated.
The illusory Ancient City suddenly became solid, its inhabitants all Wooden Puppets, each with profound cultivation, moving to attack Jade Capital Ancestor and the others.
"It’s a Wood Elemental Killing Array."
"Fellow Daoists, be careful."
Jade Capital Ancestor and Beauty Old Ancestor shouted, feeling the pressure from the Ancient City, which suppressed the early stage Dao Venerable cultivation levels and law domains.
"Screech!"
A massive turret-like structure appeared in the center of the illusory Ancient City, firing Law arrows, each as thick as an arm, three meters long, with tips containing destructive laws enough to obliterate numerous divine souls.
"Be careful!"
Jade Capital Ancestor warned, making hand seals with both hands, a round shield manifested to block one arrow, only to find the aggressive force overwhelming, astonishing him.
Rumbling sounds!
The other Dao Venerables were also defending, shocked to find each arrow’s power too formidable, nearly impossible even for early Dao Venerables to withstand. Plus, the spread of the suppression effect on law domains made them feel unable to resist.
"Quick, find the center of the formation."
The Dao Venerables present had this thought.
"I am the center of the formation; can you find me within a million miles? What a delusional dream, hahaha!" Annihilation Dao Monarch sneered sinisterly.
"Then destroy the formation!"
Daoist Venerable Heiyan roared, suddenly standing still, using a treasured sword to shield his head, forming a shield to block the swiftly approaching Law arrows, then making hand seals.
Rumbling!
Countless laws condensed in the sky, forming a massive black mountain, triangular in shape, carrying an overwhelming force, crashing towards the city.
Crack!
Numerous shields appeared but were shattered by the full-force strike of the enraged Daoist Venerable Heiyan, the black mountain continued to press down, finally shattering the entire city.
"Hmph, a bunch of weaklings, still have to count on me."
Daoist Venerable Heiyan stood with hands behind his back, very arrogant.
The others looked at him, each with a displeased expression.
Of course, Daoist Venerable Heiyan is indeed strong, among early Dao Venerable, he is considered top-notch, few can suppress him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to wound Annihilation Dao Monarch severely back then, making him flee to Haizhou.
"Aren’t you getting too complacent too soon?"
A disdainful voice rang out.
Crack!
The black mountain pressed down by Daoist Venerable Heiyan was pierced by a giant fist punching upward, revealing a ten-thousand-zhang diameter fist, green in color, covered in patterns.
"Do you really think you can kill me?"
A rugged voice sounded.
The next moment.
The giant fist shattered the black mountain, amidst rolling debris, it slammed heavily on the ground, transforming into a palm to prop the body up.
Subsequently, a giant burst out of the ground.
It was entirely green, seemingly made of countless wooden materials, towering at eighteen thousand zhang, with those giant turrets from before grown all over its body.
"Die, all of you!"
Annihilation Dao Monarch’s voice came from within this colossal Wooden Man Puppet, with turrets all over its body beginning to fire Law arrows, fully suppressing everyone.
"Damn, this is freakish!"
"Even freaks must die!"
Daoist Venerable Heiyan and others hastily retreated, simultaneously being bombarded by dozens of Law arrows, their shields shattering and regrouping, unable to withstand them.
Some Dao Venerables were already injured.
"Pfft!"
The first to spit blood was Beauty Old Ancestor, followed by Jade Capital Ancestor, both beginning to flee.
Everyone thought they were genuinely injured, becoming frightened.
Little did they know, after Jade Capital Ancestor and Beauty Old Ancestor fled to a distance, they exchanged a glance, seeing the profound look in each other’s eyes.
"Let Annihilation Dao Monarch reveal his trump card first, then we act, or else it’s tricky."
Jade Capital Ancestor transmitted mentally.
"No problem." Beauty Old Ancestor nodded.
Elsewhere.
Everyone looked back at the central area, only to see an eighteen-thousand-zhang Wooden Giant, with Law arrows shooting from all over, forcing other Dao Venerables to flee.
This scene was astonishing.
"Oh my, even Dao Venerables can’t withstand it!"
"Is that Annihilation Dao Monarch? He’s not of the Human Race, so gigantic."
"Foolish!"
"That’s Annihilation Dao Monarch’s puppet."
Throughout the vast burial forest, people were busy dealing with the underground sand worms, suddenly sensing the battle in the center of the burial ground, their expressions showed fright.
Ye Feng also noticed this scene.
"What an incredible technique."
His heart raced; he could see this was the formation’s internal attacking method. If Annihilation Dao Monarch could be subdued, one could acquire the formation to protect the sect’s headquarters.
"I wonder how the battle is going."
Ye Feng murmured.
"Sect Leader, the battle over there is so thrilling, I really want to go take a look." Hu Feifei trembled, eager to join the battle for a true fight.
"Go ahead, but... you’ll be overpowered."
Ye Feng did not stop her.
"Alright!" Hu Feifei laughed, carrying the Hunyuan Staff as she flew toward the center of the burial ground.
"Sect Master Ye, your sect’s protector is going to a Dao Venerable-level battlefield at a Heavenly Venerable-level; isn’t she courting death?" someone questioned.
"She won’t die. None of our Misty Holy Sect’s over ten thousand people who entered the burial ground will die. After all, they all possess undying bodies."
Ye Feng explained.
Everyone was flabbergasted upon hearing this.
What nonsense?!!
A sect with over ten thousand members possessing undying bodies, impossible to kill no matter what?
Oh my! This is... terrifying!
At the burial ground center.
The battle here was extremely intense.
The eighteen Dao Venerables were being chased and beaten, fleeing like rats, occasionally counterattacking, but unable to blow up the sturdy Wooden Giant Puppet, still being pursued and struck.
"I’ve had enough of this!"
Finally, Daoist Venerable Heiyan, beaten into rage, swallowed a black Elixir, his aura instantly surged multiple times, advancing from the early Dao Venerable to the mid-stage, finally gaining the power to resist.
"Black Rock Domain, kill!"
Daoist Venerable Heiyan shouted, soaring into the sky, extending his arms, shrouded in a layer of black light, with black vortices appearing in the void behind him, giant black mountains emerging from them, crashing towards the Wooden Giant.
Bang, bang, bang!
All the arrows shot at Daoist Venerable Heiyan were smashed by the black mountain peak. The crowd’s eyes lit up, and they all gathered around Daoist Venerable Heiyan, starting to cast spells and counterattack.
"I’m going all out too."
Another Dao Venerable took out a secret treasure. It was an ancient ginseng that he consumed, causing his entire body to grow three meters taller, covered in thick armor, and his aura soared tenfold, advancing from the early Dao Venerable stage to the mid-stage.
In the Dao Venerable realm, each minor stage differs by tenfold.
This is the same as the Heavenly Dao Realm.
However, Daoist Venerable Heiyan was already at the peak of the early Dao Venerable stage. After using a secret technique to enhance several times, he reached the mid-stage. Meanwhile, another Dao Venerable relied on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance tenfold, leaping from a freshly advanced early Dao Venerable stage to the mid-stage.
"I’m going all out too!"
Another Dao Venerable took out his bottom-line secret treasure, a damaged talisman paper, and stuck it on his forehead, increasing his aura from the early Dao Venerable stage several times, reaching the early peak.
"Did you really think we had no backup plans?"
"Annihilation Dao Venerable, we knew long ago you were laying in ambush for us, so we were well prepared."
"Kill, kill, kill!"
More than ten Dao Monarchs successively took out their bottom-line skills. Some enhanced their cultivation level, some set up formations, and some took out powerful divine weapons.
Crack!
With everyone joining forces, the wooden giant was finally cracked and forced to retreat.
"Ah ha, it’s my turn!"
A pink figure suddenly entered the scene; it was none other than Hu Feifei, who, right at the start, expanded the Hunyuan Staff to a hundred meters long and slammed it down with all her might.
Crack!
The Hunyuan Staff shattered from the recoil.
Hu Feifei’s eyes widened.
"How is this possible?"
She was incredulous. Could it be the disparity between Heavenly Venerable and Dao Venerable is this vast? The opponent didn’t even need to take action, and the Hunyuan Staff shattered.
"What insect?"
Annihilation Dao Venerable roared, controlling the wooden giant to smash Hu Feifei to pieces with one palm. Although she quickly reformed her figure in the distance, returning to her real body, her face showed disbelief, feeling the gap between the two sides was too large.
"Why would a Heavenly Dao Realm interfere?"
The crowd was stunned, thinking Hu Feifei was out of her mind.
No matter how strong a Heavenly Dao Realm is, there’s still a gap of a Dao Monarch Realm between them and Dao Venerable, how could it be crossed?
Even Ye Feng had no confidence to fight a Dao Venerable with a Heavenly Venerable realm, at most he could tangle momentarily.
"I don’t believe it!"
Hu Feifei gritted her teeth. Loving the battle, she finally encountered such a great battle and hurriedly reassembled the Hunyuan Staff, once again slamming it towards the wooden giant.
"Ant challenging the tree!"
The wooden giant shot an arrow that easily crushed Hu Feifei into dust, without any resistance.
"Truly an idiot."
Daoist Venerable Heiyan scolded, thinking Hu Feifei dared to join the battle as a Heavenly Venerable, simply asking for death.
However, Hu Feifei wasn’t afraid at all.
She attacked repeatedly, though every time being instantly defeated by the wooden giant, she never retreated.
"Undying body?"
"No wonder you dare to participate, but once sealed, having an undying body is meaningless."
Daoist Venerable Heiyan sneered.
"Ant, scram!" The wooden giant was focused on resisting the attacks of Daoist Venerable Heiyan and others, not bothering with Hu Feifei, but seeing her attacking repeatedly, decided to suppress her.
Buzz!
An arrow shot out, instantly striking Hu Feifei, and transformed into countless law threads binding her, securing her to the ground, thoroughly suppressing her.
"Roar!"
At this moment, Brother Flathead arrived.
He glanced at the wooden giant, thinking it was just a clown, far inferior to himself, then decisively adopted the Godzilla form, expanding his body ceaselessly until reaching a million meters tall, ten times the height of the wooden giant.
Then, he stomped down.
"You miserable thing, what are you, even a Heavenly Venerable dares to come and die, are you mocking Dao Venerable?"
The wooden giant roared.
It punched out, piercing through Brother Flathead’s foot with a single blow, then condensed a wooden formation, imprisoning Brother Flathead, pinning him to the ground.
Viewed from afar, it looked like a massive mountain.
Crack!
But at that moment, Daoist Venerable Heiyan and others had already completed their joint attack, finally piercing the tattered wooden giant’s chest, accelerating their strikes.
It didn’t take long.
The wooden giant was blown apart.
Revealing a golden core inside.
This object was ten meters in diameter, comprising twelve faces, and inside was empty, occupied by an elder.
This person was Annihilation Dao Venerable.
"Didn’t expect you all could even blow up a Wooden Law Puppet, I underestimated you indeed."
Inside the golden crystal, Annihilation Dao Venerable spoke solemnly.
"However, your good days are over."
"Because, I’m going to take action personally."
"Today, I’m annihilating and devouring you eighteen early-stage Dao Venerable cultivators, helping me break through to late Dao Venerable stage, hahahaha..."
Right as the words fell, Annihilation Dao Venerable released his aura.
A violent wind swept across the scene.
Whether it was Daoist Venerable Heiyan or Miaoyin Old Ancestor, or even the pretending injured Jade Capital Ancestor and others, they were all blasted hundreds of meters away, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Mid-stage Dao Venerable peak!"
They widened their eyes, exclaiming.
Last seen, Annihilation Dao Venerable had just broken through the early Dao Venerable stage. Now, he was almost entering the late stage, breaking through too swiftly.
"Surprised, huh? I’m surprised too."
Annihilation Dao Venerable laughed heartily.
He stretched his arms, and the golden core outside his body rapidly transformed into a five-meter tall Golden Armored Giant, merging with Annihilation Dao Venerable.
His aura instantly surged to a level almost approaching the late Dao Venerable stage.
"Daoist Venerable Heiyan, die first!"
Annihilation Dao Venerable attacked viciously; the Golden Armored Giant he transformed into suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Daoist Venerable Heiyan, "slash" piercing through Daoist Venerable Heiyan’s chest with a long knife, then sliced him into two halves.
"No..."
Daoist Venerable Heiyan screamed, completely bewildered as to how Annihilation Dao Venerable could break through so rapidly.
Back then, the opponent absolutely didn’t have such means.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been severely injured by himself.
"Die!"
Annihilation Dao Venerable’s Golden Armored Giant opened its mouth, swallowing Daoist Venerable Heiyan whole, starting to refine his origin, gaining various insights.
Its aura grew stronger.
"It’s over, run!"
Jade Capital Ancestor didn’t care about anything else, burst out his true mid-Dao Venerable cultivation level, taking Beauty Old Ancestor, fleeing at the fastest speed.
"Oh, mid-Dao Venerable stage!"
Annihilation Dao Venerable sneered, "Too bad you can’t break the formation’s shield, after I digest Daoist Venerable Heiyan, I’ll devour you one by one."
The crowd heard this, filled with despair.
"Oh, really?"
But just when they were all in utter despair, a figure had already appeared in mid-air, capturing everyone’s attention.
