Chapter 2197: Chapter 2197: Terrifying Power
Radiant Dao Venerable has fallen!
Everyone’s eyes were filled with horror and disbelief, unable to accept that their patriarch had perished suddenly.
He was an invincible overlord!
Even in the Origin of All Things, a mid-stage Dao Venerable was among the top few, only second to those in the late-stages of Boundless and Grand Dao Venerable.
But today, a Dao Venerable actually died.
And he was killed in an instant!
Ye Feng looked at his palm.
The five small swords had vanished, replaced by a five-colored small sword, the embodiment of the Five Elements Dao Origin Killing Formation, capable of directly slaying a Dao Venerable.
"I have finally truly risen."
Ye Feng murmured while holding the five-colored small sword, and took out the Primordial Sword Embryo, contemplating the perfect fusion of the two.
If he succeeds, beneath the Immeasurable, he is invincible!
With this thought, Ye Feng looked around.
The Dao Venerables and dozens of Dao Monarchs under Radiant Dao Venerable were trembling, not even daring to flee for their lives.
Ye Feng deduced their past.
These people were all wicked individuals. The reason they hid in the Radiant Ancient Realm was that they had offended too many in the Origin of All Things, and could no longer survive.
Thus, Ye Feng gently waved his hand.
The five-colored small sword formed by the Five Elements Dao Origin Killing Formation swept across their necks, eradicating them.
From then on, Ye Feng completely controlled this realm.
Ye Feng began to explore the area.
Apart from the various relics of Radiant Dao Venerable and those Dao Venerables and Dao Monarchs, Ye Feng also discovered many treasures, all precious spirit mines they had collected.
"I wonder if it can be fused."
Ye Feng sat cross-legged on a stone platform, holding the Primordial Sword Embryo in his left hand and the five-colored small sword in his right.
The primitive material level of the Primordial Sword Embryo was very high.
After all, it was the rare Primordial Immortal Gold.
Even the life-bound divine weapons of many Dao Venerables and Boundless Venerables were just of the same material level.
Therefore, the Primordial Sword Embryo possessed infinite potential.
Ye Feng’s plan was to integrate the Five Elements Dao Origin Killing Formation into the Primordial Sword Embryo, transforming this perpetually semi-finished divine weapon into a true divine weapon.
He would also bestow it a new name.
Primordial Divine Sword!
Ye Feng soon began deducing.
One day, two days...
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. With Ye Feng’s million-fold time acceleration, it was equivalent to over eighty thousand years of painstaking enlightenment.
That day, he abruptly opened his eyes, already having a comprehensive plan in his mind.
In the Radiant Ancient Realm, countless thunders soon shone, striking down towards the Primordial Sword Embryo below.
Simultaneously, Ye Feng decomposed the five-colored small sword into five small swords of different colors, disassembled various internal materials, and integrated them into the Primordial Sword Embryo.
This process was very slow.
It was like a "permeation" phenomenon, where the two gradually fused, each fusion drawing in a lot of Primordial Source and undergoing the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation.
If anyone was near the Radiant Ancient Realm, they would see it completely enveloped in lightning.
Its power was terrifying.
Any bolt of lightning could annihilate a Dao Venerable.
If a Grand Dao Venerable were engulfed by the center thunderstorm, it wouldn’t take long to be blasted to ashes.
Ye Feng sat quietly in the center of the storm.
He seemed not to be in this time and space, not struck by a single bolt of lightning, quietly releasing Primordial Source and various divine materials, integrating them into the Primordial Sword Embryo.
This facilitated the fusion of the sword embryo with the Five Elements Dao Origin Killing Formation.
"Hopefully, it can succeed soon!"
Ye Feng murmured.
In the past, when forging divine weapons, various Dao Patterns would be engraved on the surface and inside to enhance their power.
Nowadays, Ye Feng used a similar method.
The difference was that he directly branded the already formed Five Elements Dao Origin Killing Formation into the sword embryo.
In this process, Ye Feng perfectly melted the materials used to craft the Five Elements Dao Origin Killing Formation and the Primordial Sword Embryo until they became a new alloy.
And the array pattern was preserved.
Ye Feng took out the Divine Grade Spirit-Extend Holy Liquid, calculating the time and quantity, adding it to the Primordial Sword Embryo again and again to stabilize any potentially volatile areas.
Time passed bit by bit.
A year, two years...
Five years flew by in the blink of an eye.
Ye Feng effectively refined the Primordial Sword Embryo for five million years, with Sect Disciples recruited to the thirty-eighth generation, finally completing the fusion.
Over the five years, Ye Feng also cultivated.
His cultivation level had reached late-stage Dao Venerable, and with another five years of cultivation, he could condense a Golden Dao Soul and ascend to Grand Dao Venerable.
Screech!
On this day, the Primordial Sword Embryo burst out with a clear sword cry, echoing across this ancient source of life.
All the thunder dissipated completely.
In the endless space-time, only the slender treasured sword before Ye Feng remained, two fingers wide, three feet long, appearing as if forged from platinum, flawless.
The sword surface bore no visible array pattern.
To ordinary people, this sword appeared no more than an ordinary iron sword from the Mortal Realm.
However, Ye Feng knew it was not an ordinary iron sword.
This was a peak divine weapon, formed after five million years of fusion.
Primordial Divine Sword!
This was Ye Feng’s current strongest divine weapon, refined over countless years as his life-bound divine weapon.
With one swing, it could annihilate any Grand Dao Venerable!
Screech!
As Ye Feng grasped the hilt of the Primordial Divine Sword, the sword emitted a flash of five-colored brilliance, showcasing its extraordinary nature, though it quickly returned to serenity.
"Congratulations to the Sect Leader for refining the divine weapon!"
Xue Rongqing walked over from behind, standing three meters away from Ye Feng, quietly observing his tall figure.
"And congratulations to you for ascending to Dao Venerable."
Ye Feng turned to look at Xue Rongqing.
She was still as beautiful as ever.
In the past five years, she also leveraged the million-fold time acceleration formation for enlightenment, breaking through to early-stage Dao Venerable.
Within the Sect,
Hu Feifei, Gong Qingqiu, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others also rapidly advanced.
Even Radiant Dao Venerate had reached late-stage Dao Venerable, and Annihilation Dao Venerable, who was already at the peak of mid-stage Dao Venerable, was now at the peak of Dao Venerable.
It’s just a pity...
The Misty Holy Sect still didn’t have a Grand Dao Venerable in residence.
However, Ye Feng was not worried.
Although he was only in the late-stage of Dao Venerable, he was capable of leaping a major realm to kill enemies. Even without relying on the Primordial Divine Sword, he could slay a Grand Dao Venerable.
By wielding the Primordial Divine Sword, his strength could soar, rendering him without a rival beneath the Immeasurable.
He could even confront an ordinary Immeasurable.
This is the confidence of being the Sovereign of Time and Space!
And the assurance brought by having the Primordial Divine Sword.
"Sect Leader, now that you have refined a divine weapon of your own, and I have ascended to Dao Venerable Realm, what shall we do next?"
Xue Rongqing softly inquired.
"Continue to delve deeper into the Outer Realm to gather those rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"
She added curiously.
Ye Feng gazed into the depths of the Radiant Ancient Realm, where an ancient stone tablet was inscribed with ancient text, deciphered by Ye Feng to uncover a secret.
In The Lands of Outer Realm, a Deicide Beast resides.
It resembles a Devouring Beast, wandering the vast space-time of the Outer Realm, devouring ancient sources of life it discovers, thus augmenting itself.
The potential of the Deicide Beast is tremendous.
It’s said that it can ascend to the peak of Grand Dao Venerable without bottlenecks.
And once the Deicide Beast breaks its limits and reaches the Boundless Venerable Realm, it will surely invade the Origin of All Things, becoming an extraterrestrial invader, destroying numerous continents.
This is a true threat!
Not eradicating it would bring endless trouble.
"Next, go slay the Deicide Beast."
"Then, go kill Dao Venerable Jintong."
Ye Feng sheathed his sword, returning to his original appearance. Wearing a white robe fluttering in the wind, his hair carelessly tied with a red string, he resembled a graceful young swordsman.
"Alright." Xue Rongqing followed beside him.
The two looked perfectly matched, like a pair of jade figures.
Whoosh!
They tore through the air and vanished.
...
Deeper within the Ascending Dragon Star Domain.
Here lay an ancient life source place, originally nurturing countless lives, but today, it was devoured by a massive mouth, and countless beings perished in an instant.
"Damn, it’s the legendary Deicide Beast!"
Not far away, two Dao Venerables witnessed this scene, their gaze falling on the colossal beast stretching a billion miles in length, with fear filling their pupils.
"Hiss!"
The Deicide Beast fixated on the two Dao Venerables, twisting its eel-like body and lunging at them.
"Ah..."
The two Dao Venerables turned to flee, only to find themselves running merely hundreds of miles when the surrounding space-time began to reverse, realizing they were enveloped by the Deicide Beast’s Deicide Domain.
"It’s over!"
They looked back helplessly, watching as a black hole-like mouth came biting towards them.
Soon, they lost consciousness.
Their bodies, along with their origin laws, were absorbed by the Deicide Beast.
Yet, it remained unsatisfied, continuing to slay other ancient life sources.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng was also rushing over.
Hundreds of millions of light-years away.
There was a life source here.
Near its world entrance, a god temple hovered, and hundreds of figures stood at its gate, all exuding formidable auras.
The nine individuals at the forefront were all Grand Dao Venerables.
The rest were all at the Dao Venerable Realm.
The lowest among them were at the peak of the early Dao Venerable stage, not even a single Dao Monarch in sight; the formation was extremely powerful, approaching the lineup when Wuyuan Great Dao Venerable and others besieged the Horror Swordsman.
"Everyone, the Deicide Beast is coming here."
"Quickly form the array, slay the Deicide Beast!"
"Okay."
The nine Grand Dao Venerables respectively took out a divine weapon, and with the cooperation of dozens of Dao Venerables behind them, formed a killing array, comparable to an ordinary Five Elements Dao Origin Killing Formation, with an enormous shield covering billions of miles around.
Even mid-to-late stage Grand Dao Venerables could be slain.
This formation was called the "Nine Stars God Killing Formation."
Days later.
The Deicide Beast arrived here, entering the vast area of the Nine Stars God Killing Formation, its body gradually shrinking until it was only ten meters long, resembling an eel.
Its eyes, filled with intelligence, gazed at everyone.
Within its pupils, a mocking light flickered.
"You think you can trap and kill me, the great one, with just this rubbish array?" the Deicide Beast sneered.
One of the Grand Dao Venerables snorted, "Deicide Beast, you are merely at the late Grand Dao Venerable stage, far from the peak. Do you really think you can escape at this cultivation level?"
There were nine Grand Dao Venerables present.
The strongest among them was also at the late Grand Dao Venerable stage, with a cultivation level equal to the Deicide Beast’s. Among them, two were mid-stage Grand Dao Venerables, and six were at the early stage.
With the Nine Stars God Killing Formation, they were confident.
Slaying the Deicide Beast, extracting its tendons and skinning it for the precious origin inner core, could refine into a special elixir nearly akin to the Dao, boosting the chance of cultivators breaking through to the Boundless Venerable Realm by fifty percent.
Because of this, everyone gathered to hunt the Deicide Beast.
If they could refine such an elixir, perhaps a new Boundless Venerable might emerge among them.
"You’re dreaming."
The Deicide Beast shook its head, its aura originally belonging to the late Grand Dao Venerable suddenly surged, crossing into the peak of the Grand Dao Venerable stage with a destructive aura.
Far off in the void.
Ye Feng and Xue Rongqing observed coldly.
"Sect Leader, is the Deicide Beast strong?"
"Very strong, comparable to the Horror Swordsman who once crossed worlds. It’s a peak Grand Dao Venerable and a top-tier expert within its rank, terrifyingly powerful."
"So... do you have the confidence to win?"
"Haha, of course, I am confident. Now, I am unrivaled below the Immeasurable!"
Hearing this, Xue Rongqing’s heart was shaken.
There were only about a hundred known Boundless Venerables in the Origin of All Things, and if Ye Feng claimed to be unrivaled below the Immeasurable, his rank in the Origin of All Things was near the top hundred, wasn’t it?
This... this was too terrifying!
A few years ago, he was only at the Heavenly Venerable stage!
Since he broke the curse and advanced to Dao Monarch, his strength had grown uncontrollably, frighteningly so.
Xue Rongqing’s heartbeat quickened.
She knew this man was no ordinary person.
"Look, they’re starting to fight there."
Ye Feng pointed to the distance.
Boom!
The Deicide Beast erupted with the shocking aura of a peak Grand Dao Venerable, launching an attack that shook the Nine Stars God Killing Formation violently, covering the surface of the shield with cracks.
"Fight back, give it your all!"
The leading Grand Dao Venerable shouted, and the rest mustered all their strength to activate the formation, conjuring nine God-Slaying Swords, continuously slashing at the shrunken Deicide Beast.
Clang!
Unexpectedly, the Nine Stars God-Slaying Swords hacked into the Deicide Beast’s body, getting lodged like meat interspersed with tentacles, unable to be withdrawn.
"We’re doomed!"
The leading Grand Dao Venerable, sensing the decline first, quickly patted his chest, spitting out a mouthful of old blood, using his finger to absorb it, writing a word in the air.
That word was: Suppress!
Instantly, the word transformed into Dao Patterns, which then condensed into an Xuanhuang Pagoda, restraining the Deicide Beast’s body.
"Counterattack, full force counterattack!"
The leading Grand Dao Venerable yelled.
Everyone used similar secret techniques, consuming their own blood essence to unleash Dao techniques beyond their realm, bombarding the Deicide Beast, causing its surface to crack and finally bleed purple-gold blood.
"You’ve angered me!"
The Deicide Beast roared to the heavens, its body quickly swelling to a billion miles long, knocking away the nine divine swords. The nine Grand Dao Venerables and dozens of Dao Venerables were blasted backward.
Many Dao Venerables were already spitting blood, severely injured.
The nine Grand Dao Venerables all looked grim.
"We are no match!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
They abandoned the Nine Stars God Killing Formation, activating previously prepared teleportation talismans to escape instantly.
"You shall not escape!"
The Deicide Beast roared, opening its mouth to swallow the fleeing Grand Dao Venerables and Dao Venerables, using the Deicide Domain to forcibly interrupt the effect of the teleportation talismans.
Crunch!
Several Dao Venerables were devoured, even a Grand Dao Venerable was bitten in half, and consequently, fell to the same fate of being devoured, their bodies and Dao dissipating.
The remaining people had completely lost their will to fight.
"By devouring you, I can prove the Dao in the Origin of All Things and achieve supremacy!"
The Deicide Beast laughed heartily.
But then, at the next moment.
Two figures appeared in everyone’s view.
Ye Feng, holding the Primordial Divine Sword, exuded the aura of a late-stage Dao Venerable, calmly stating:
"Deicide Beast, you won’t have the chance to prove yourself in the Boundless Venerable Realm; you’ll be slain by me and then refined into a precious ’Immeasurable Calamity Pill.’
As these words fell, everyone turned to look at Ye Feng.
Then, they were all stunned.
Late-stage Dao Venerable?
This cultivation level... is he serious?
"A mere Dao Venerable... ah!"
The Deicide Beast was about to taunt, but suddenly realized Ye Feng had already drawn his sword, slashing out a multicolored sword light so fast it couldn’t react, and its entire head was chopped off.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A single sword... killed the Deicide Beast?
Who exactly is this person?
