One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 502: Chapter 419: New Era, Actions from All Sides

With that final word spoken,

The last breath of Emperor Wu completely vanished from the battlefield.

Everyone present at the scene knew that this time Emperor Wu had truly fallen, with no other possibilities remaining.

Yet, after realizing this, the remaining beings of Destruction Power level not only did not relax but were instead overtaken by an intense sense of crisis, their eyelids twitching uncontrollably as if something terrifying was happening.

The calamity that befell Daoist Crane at this moment was too bizarre.

He was clutching his neck, his eyes bulging as if trying desperately to control something.

...

But he did not succeed.

His muscles and blood vessels tore apart swiftly, with bright scarlet blood spilling out.

As streams of air swirled and stirred, Daoist Crane’s body uncontrollably rose into the sky. A destructive force was brewing inside him, growing more chaotic with each passing moment, and it could explode at any time.

A self-detonation of a Destruction Power level expert.

The resulting effect…

It was beyond imagination, just the thought of this possibility sent shivers down one’s spine.

"How could this happen?” The Immortal Corpse King’s pupils trembled violently, his face etched with disbelief, “We are Destruction Powers born from the Eternal Heavens; we are the origin of destruction and fear. Why are we being controlled? Is this like being possessed by a ghost?”

"Emperor Wu is already dead, and yet he still has the strength to seize the body of another at the same level?” The Silver Demon Bird also felt an incredible sense of horror.

Their clan was inherently skilled in spiritual power.

It was precisely because of their deep research in this area that the Silver Demon Bird knew how unfathomable such a feat was.

Even she, who specialized in this field, could not achieve it. She could only exert some influence on another strong being at the same realm. Yet Emperor Wu, who did not pursue this path, made it a reality. Such a method truly deserved to be described with the words “Heaven-reaching.”

"We’d better leave quickly,” said the Black Wind King coldly, “The events of today are far too disastrous, there’s no need for our group to continue to exist. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways, hoping we never have the chance to meet again.”

Whoosh!

The true form of the Black Wind King was a black bear.

Though his body seemed massive, speed was actually one of his strong suits.

His furry body shook, and his feet crossed swiftly, soon turning into a gust of black wind, whisking up the dust from the ground, intending to run towards the direction outside the city walls.

Screech!

The Silver Demon Bird transformed in a shake.

Revealing her true form, she shone brilliantly, like a phoenix crafted from silver.

Dragging a long trail of dazzling light, with a metallic ringing sound, the Silver Demon Bird flew towards the sky. Meanwhile, the Immortal Corpse King, the last of the Destruction Powers, lightly stamped his foot down, his body swiftly sinking into the firm soil. Of the remaining few individuals, only Algres made no move.

He cultivated the Dao Path of space.

He had already noticed that the space around the battlefield had been sealed.

From all the events of today, it was likely that Emperor Wu, upon realizing there was no saving himself, had prepared for this battle in advance.

And now, the final judgment was arriving.

How could he possibly allow Silver Demon Bird and the others to escape from the battlefield so easily?

Crack!

In the next instant, Algres’s guess was confirmed.

He heard the loud sound of chains, coming from the distant void, and suddenly looked upward.

He saw dark red chains, hanging from high above like pythons lying in wait, trapping the roaring and bellowing Black Wind King within and forcefully pulling him back. Then another chain retracted likewise, except inside it was the Silver Demon Bird, who constantly screamed and burst forth with dazzling white light. Subsequently, the ground rumbled, and, amidst the rolling mud, the Immortal Corpse King was also brought up.

He seemed to have anticipated what was about to happen.

He gave up struggling at that point.

Black mist enveloped him, and gradually, a coffin emerged with an ancient design, engraved with skull patterns.

The Immortal Corpse King buried himself in it, closed the lid, and the coffin was rapidly covered with Netherworld Soil emitting a decaying scent.

This was raising his defensive power to the utmost, intending to withstand the upcoming shock from the self-detonation.

Algres frowned slightly, shifting his gaze away from the Corpse King.

"It’s coming!” He spurred his Daoist charm to the extreme, desperately trying to lower his presence, subconsciously holding his breath, his whole train of thought nearly coming to a halt.

Like a drop of water blending into the sea, Algres now merged himself with the void around him.

Inside the Rule Divine Artifact, the final dark red chain stretched out in his direction.

But it did not find Algres’s exact location.

The massive chain, covered with spots of rust, looked like it was cast from iron from afar, but Algres could see clearly at this moment— it was clearly forged from the spine bones of some mighty creature.

The demons of the Eternal Heavens regarded humans in the mortal world as food.

And the human race’s experts went even further, not just devouring demons’ flesh but also imprisoning their divine souls, smelting them into instruments. This meant being condemned to never ascend to the afterlife, forever enduring torment.

"Sigh

Algres let out a long sigh.

With reluctance, the last dark red chain departed.

The remaining few with the power of destruction were locked up together, with Daoist Crane at the very center of the cage.

His body had already swollen to the limit, like a balloon on the verge of exploding. Blood lines had appeared on his skin, and from within, golden light pierced through like a sword.

Silver Demon Bird and the others felt the power coming from behind, and out of terror, they ferociously attacked the chains wrapped around them.

But now it was too late.

"I can’t accept this!” Accompanied by a final roar, Daoist He’s body finally gave way.

An indescribably colossal and terrifying force erupted like a volcano, bursts of golden light mixed with Innate Runes exploded outward from Daoist He’s body. A giant sun appeared in the sky, sweeping away tens of thousands of meters of dark clouds.

This Destruction Level self-destruct formed sun plummeted towards the west, precisely in the direction of the Yellow Earth Fortress ruins, also the entrance to the Mythical Battlefield.

Many demons still gathered here, now facing their doomsday.

They first sensed the danger.

Subconsciously looking up, yet unaware of what had happened.

The intense light had already descended upon them, their flesh vaporized and torn away inch by inch. In the end, only skeletons stood erect on the ground, looking up at the sky. Hundreds of thousands of skeletons, various and all, looking in the same direction, truly a chilling and astonishing spectacle.

Unfortunately, such a spectacle lasted for less than a breath’s time.

The subsequent shockwave, carrying sand and gravel, swept away everything.

The battlefield was left without even a bone remaining, only a huge pit over ten kilometers in diameter, and radiating shock marks recorded everything that had transpired.

As for those far away like the Third Prince, Ji Huaxi, and others.

They too were looking up at the sky, first experiencing an extremely bright light, then the whole world dimmed.

The explosive blast reached the ancient Royal City, riddled with holes. Despite the towering city walls, streaks of white light skimmed over the battlements, rapidly streaking across the sky. The howling wind from the blast drummed in everyone’s ears, terrifying and shivering, the ground also trembling violently, causing many Cultivators to stand unsteadily, somewhat embarrassed crouching on the ground.

For the time of one incense stick.

The aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided.

Relief from a narrow escape crossed the Third Prince’s face, then slowly a great ecstasy swelled within him.

His father’s death made him sad, of course. But as the heir to the Imperial throne, he was now the rightful Emperor. The taste of power was always captivating, despite the foreseeable challenges ahead, Ji Xuance felt joy for the power that had fallen into his hands.

He straightened his Armor, reaching out to dust himself off.

Slowly he stood up from the ruins.

"I Ji Xuance lightly coughed, about to issue an order.

But at that moment, Ji Huaxi’s slightly hoarse voice came from not far away, her eyes slightly reddened, but her face was very serious, “Follow me to battle!”

She said, “There may still be some enemies wounded but not dead on the battlefield, we must not fail the late Emperor’s sacrifice!”

Swish!

Having said that, she leapt up.

Her slender and graceful body turned into a red streak, speeding forward.

The remaining Imperial Army soldiers swiftly followed, the wild wind rose abruptly, a whirlwind of dust swirling, ceaselessly slapping Ji Xuance’s face.

The once lively battlefield, in just a moment, left him alone. Surrounded by the flickering fires, in the shadows, watching Princess Ji Huaxi’s rapidly receding figure, Ji Xuance’s lips pursed, his expression gloomy.

…

Kill!

Among the three Destruction Great Power Level beings.

Black Wind King had the lowest Cultivation, the first to be captured, and suffered the most severe injuries.

The violent explosion tore through his flesh, his vitality continually draining away, and he was the first targeted by Ji Huaxi and the Imperial Army. In the ensuing battle, no matter how much the Black Wind King struggled, his fate was sealed, Ji Huaxi’s Phoenix Spear piercing through his skull. Then, flames soared, bursting out from all seven orifices, all brain tissues turning into a handful of ashes.

Screech!

The Silver Demon Bird was soaked in blood.

At this moment, it raised its head and shrieked, an invisible Spiritual Shock swept across the battlefield instantly.

The heads of several nearby Imperial Army soldiers exploded on the spot, and even Ji Huaxi, who was far away, stumbled.

Seizing this opportunity, the Silver Demon Bird beat its wings, burning its essence blood, chose a direction at random, and swiftly fled, fearing being caught and suffering the Black Wind King’s fate.

What remained was the Immortal Corpse King.

His combat strength was not as strong as the Silver Demon Bird, but his survival ability was extremely powerful.

After various methods, even facing a face-to-face self-destruction, his injuries were not too severe.

"It’s time to end some karma!” Malice erupted from the Immortal Corpse King, after this battle, he gained no benefits, instead, the wealth accumulated over the years was entirely depleted.

Moreover, his Daoist Field had been destroyed by Emperor Wu over a hundred years ago, leaving him alone in the world.

But fortunately…

He had still survived, and successfully entered this fertile land.

"Northern Border Demon Dragon, heh heh, you think hiding here will keep you safe, but you’d never expect that I would arrive in this realm so quickly,” the Immortal Corpse King thought of the avatar he had painstakingly cultivated perishing at Su Heng’s hands, an eerie smile appearing on his face.

Apart from settling old grievances.

Su Heng’s robust body was also of great use to him.

He did not continue to tangle with Ji Huaxi, after a clash of fists, the Immortal Corpse King quickly created distance.

He distinguished a direction, and then he hurried toward Jiang Er.

Swish!

Not long after the Immortal Corpse King left.

A streak of light flashed in the distance, and Algres’s figure emerged.

"I originally thought this guy was one of the weaker ones, but didn’t expect him to almost come out unscathed,” Algres mused, “Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.”

He looked in the direction the Immortal Corpse King had left, pondered for a moment, and soon a smile appeared on his face, “It’s perfect, I’ll lend you a hand, seize this opportunity to eliminate this threat!”
