Chapter 353: Chapter 190: The Greatest Secret of This Realm, the Book of Space-Time Changes Again
In that instant.
Everyone felt as if they were witnessing the sky itself collapse.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A fist that seemed to contain the boundless void suddenly collided with the Divine Arrow.
Under the force of the punch, the Divine Arrow let out an overwhelmed groan before exploding into motes of spiritual light and vanishing completely.
The boundless, collapsing void pressed down, crushing the light barrier of the entire Mountain Protection Array!
The ground quaked violently, and countless buildings within were flattened.
Innumerable civilians fled in all directions!
"Huuuh."
Sensing the killing intent around him dissipate, Siming Kang let out a long breath.
A divine glint shone in his eyes. He peered through the light of the Grand Array and seemed to see a figure staring back at him, standing atop a spinning black-and-white Tai Chi Diagram.
’Was he the one who shot that arrow?!’
A thick killing intent rose in Siming Kang’s heart as he stared at the blurry figure below.
However, he had no intention of fighting. He circulated the Divine Power in his body, preparing for a swift departure.
After unleashing the Shenxiao Heaven-Shaking Fist, he had almost no Divine Power left. Continuing the fight would not be worth the cost.
He might even perish here.
He would have to wait to take his revenge.
Yet, just as he was about to leave...
BUZZ!
Within the void, the spinning black-and-white Tai Chi Diagram slowly reappeared.
Immediately after, a golden Divine Arrow, as if part of a cycle of Reincarnation, shot out from the Tai Chi Diagram.
A wild, piercing killing intent instantly locked onto Siming Kang!
"How is this possible?!"
Siming Kang roared, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Hadn’t he already destroyed that arrow?!
How could it appear again!
As he reeled in shock, the Divine Arrow, once again wreathed in an unparalleled surge of Dao Charm and a terrifying mix of blood qi and Divine Will, shot toward him!
A brilliant divine glint erupted from Siming Kang’s body as he let out a savage, beast-like roar.
His bound golden hair came loose, leaving him in a wretched state.
He had been forced to use the Shenxiao Heaven-Shaking Fist to destroy the previous Divine Arrow.
Now, he had no strength to spare!
Faced with the Divine Arrow’s renewed attack, he resisted for a moment, then began to burn his Grotto Heaven, soaring into the sky in a desperate, mad dash!
However, it was all for naught.
After struggling for just a few moments, Siming Kang felt the Divine Power within him completely drain away.
"No!"
He let out a final roar as his physical body and Divine Soul trembled, and then he was pierced by the arrow!
BANG!
His body exploded like a firework, stirring up waves of clouds for ten thousand miles, leaving not a single trace behind.
Countless miles away, high above the Divine Capital of the Great Ye Kingdom...
A continuous chain of golden palaces could be faintly seen, standing high above the nine heavens.
Like a Celestial Palace, they radiated a brilliant Divine Light that illuminated the land and watched over all living beings.
Just then, inside one of the central palaces...
"Ah!"
Along with a painful groan, Siming Kang struggled to his feet, rising from a pool of golden water.
The icy pool water mixed with cold sweat as it trickled down his body.
The memory of his death washed over him like a tidal wave, giving him a splitting headache and filling his heart with terror.
He had well and truly died!
However, the core members of their Divine Race’s Direct Lineage possessed the Substitute Death God Pool, a gift from the Ancient Divine Race.
After their original body died, they could be resurrected once in this pool.
But the body that was resurrected was their original, weak one. To cultivate back to their previous Realm would take who knows how long!
Furthermore, even for the Direct Lineage of the Divine Race, they could only be resurrected once in their lifetime!
Siming Kang never would have imagined that a mere probing attack would lead to a fatal crisis!
Just who was that person who shot that heaven-shaking arrow?!
"So this is the foundation that allows your Divine Race to dominate Heaven and Earth. I wonder, how many times can you be resurrected?"
Just as Siming Kang was reeling in shock and suspicion, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
His body trembled violently, and a look of disbelief filled his eyes.
"Impossible! How did you track me?!"
After his original body died, the aura of his new body was completely severed from the old one.
How did the other party find him?!
However, the response he received was a brilliant, sharp arrow that materialized within his Divine Soul.
The sharp arrow erupted with a piercing divine glint, instantly annihilating Siming Kang’s Divine Soul!
THUD—
Without any strength to struggle, Siming Kang collapsed to the ground, completely silent and still.
At the same time, the palaces high above the nine heavens suddenly pulsed with divine glints the moment Siming Kang died.
The next moment, a series of figures wreathed in golden light appeared before Siming Kang’s body.
"He’s dead. Killed again after being resurrected!"
"I can’t detect any trace of an aura. What kind of expert could this be?!"
"Heh, didn’t Siming Kang go to the Human Ancestral Land, scheming to seize the Celestial Observation Cauldron? This must be the work of someone from there."
"Impossible. Even with the power of the Celestial Observation Cauldron, not even that Gongsun Yan could have killed Siming Kang."
"Siming Hao, if you want answers, you could always take a trip to the Human Ancestral Land. Then everything would become clear."
"Hmph, the answer doesn’t matter to me. As long as the Celestial Observation Cauldron isn’t refined, Siming Kang’s death is of no consequence."
"Among our Divine Race, and even the Demon Race, I doubt anyone exists who can refine the Celestial Observation Cauldron, let alone someone from the Human Race."
"The Divine Kings of the Ancient Divine Race sent us to this world for two reasons: to seize and refine the Celestial Observation Cauldron, and to monitor the movements of the humans. This matter must be reported and left for the Divine Kings to decide!"
"The Divine Kings are being watched by those Demon Kings from the Demon Race. They probably won’t be able to act any time soon. Most likely, they’ll arrange for us to handle it."
"That’s perfect. We’ve been in the Celestial Palace for tens of thousands of years. It’s rare for such an interesting character to appear. It might be nice to meet them."
The figures conversed among themselves before slowly fading away.
It was as if Siming Kang’s death was nothing more than an insignificant matter to them.
...
Meanwhile, Wang Xiao sensed Siming Kang’s aura being completely extinguished, and his eyes twitched slightly.
’These members of the Divine Race are really hard to kill.’
’To think they have treasures like that for cheating death.’
If not for the shadow-like tracking characteristic of the Cause and Effect Arrow embedded within his Celestial Will Cause and Effect Arrow, he probably would have had a very hard time tracking down the reborn Siming Kang!
Wang Xiao’s gaze shifted slightly, turning toward Gongsun Yan in the distance.
Just now, Gongsun Yan had disregarded his own injuries to forcibly block the Celestial Will Cause and Effect Arrow from hitting Gongsun Yan.
Of course, this was also because he hadn’t pressed the attack, and had directly retracted the Celestial Will Cause and Effect Arrow aimed at Gongsun Yan.
Otherwise, there was no way Gongsun Yan could have blocked it so easily.
"Great-Grandfather, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!"
Seeing Siming Kang slain by a single arrow, Gongsun Yan’s heart trembled, and he couldn’t help but fall to his knees.
He knew that if that arrow came for him again, no one besides his great-grandfather could save him!
SLAP!
A heavy slap landed squarely on Gongsun Yan’s face.
Accompanied by a surge of Grotto Heaven Power, it completely sealed Gongsun Yan’s Grotto Heaven.
"You have disappointed me greatly. You betrayed the Human Ancestral Land and actually schemed to defect to the Divine Race. I will convene an Elder’s council and put you on public trial!"
With a sharp wave of his hand, Gongsun Yan let out a wretched scream and fell into the valley below.
RUMBLE!
Along with a tremendous crash, Gongsun Yan was suppressed beneath the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
After doing all this, Gongsun Yan’s figure flickered, and he landed inside the courtyard where Wang Xiao was.
He cupped his fist and said,
"Thank you for your help just now, Fellow Daoist Wang. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Wang Xiao replied in a calm tone,
"There’s no need to be so polite, Elder Gongsun. With your strength, driving off Siming Kang wouldn’t have been a difficult task."
Even if he hadn’t acted just now, Gongsun Yan would not have been in mortal danger.
At most, Siming Kang, the other members of the Divine Race, and Gongsun Yan would have escaped.
Gongsun Yan sighed. A rosy light flashed in his hand, and a black Great Cauldron appeared.
"Ultimately, I relied on an external force. I cannot compare to you, Fellow Daoist Wang. You have not yet undergone Dragon Transformation or evolved the Heaven and Earth within your body, yet you can already kill a member of the Six-winged Divine Race. Your future is truly promising."
The instant the black Great Cauldron appeared, the Book of Space-Time in Wang Xiao’s mind suddenly trembled, emitting a faint golden glow.
’This must be the true body of the Celestial Observation Cauldron. The one in the valley was just an illusion. No wonder the Book of Space-Time didn’t react before.’
Wang Xiao’s eyes shifted slightly.
The Divine-Demon war that had raged for hundreds of thousands of years, and the enslavement of the Human Race, were all caused by this Celestial Observation Cauldron.
The Celestial Observation Cauldron could be called the greatest secret of this world. He wondered what was so special about it.
Gazing at the Celestial Observation Cauldron, Wang Xiao directly used his Talent, Analyze All Things.
