Chapter 371: Chapter 197: Shaking the Past and Dazzling the Present, We Cultivators Fear No Battle
Even a Venerable, if so much as grazed by it, would be instantly annihilated!
In the sky, the expressions of the Celestial Venerables from the Human and Demon Races flickered. Grotto Heaven Power surged around them as they braced against the aftershock.
The immense aftershocks continued to cascade outward.
Tens of thousands of miles of the Void healed only to be torn asunder again. It was like the apocalypse; not a single speck of light remained.
The violent collision raged for an unknown length of time before finally ceasing.
Arthas hovered in the air, a cold sneer on his face as he looked at Gongsun Yan holding a black Great Cauldron not far away.
"A cheap imitation of the Celestial Observation Cauldron, and you dare to show it off before me? I wonder how many blows from my Heaven-Reaching Rod it can withstand?!"
Gongsun Yan’s expression remained unchanged.
"It doesn’t need to withstand many. Just enough to kill you will be sufficient!"
Arthas let out a wild laugh, his voice dripping with an endless aura of blood and slaughter.
"Good, good, good. Gongsun Yan, it seems Wang Xiao has given you quite the backbone to be speaking like this."
"Heh, interesting. What I enjoy most is shattering the hope of your Human Race!"
His body flared with a black radiance. The antennae on his head pulsed with a golden light as he instantly appeared before Gongsun Yan.
The Heaven-Reaching Rod in his hand, wreathed in a world-destroying power, came crashing down!
Gongsun Yan’s expression turned grave. Daring not to be careless in the slightest, he met the attack head-on, brandishing the black Great Cauldron filled with Chaos Qi.
He had spent tens of thousands of years gathering all manner of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to forge this Great Cauldron in the image of the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
Powered by the Chaos Qi left behind by Emperor Yu long ago, it could barely function as a substitute for the genuine article!
And by borrowing the power of the Mountain Protection Array, he could just about hold his own against Arthas.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Gongsun Yan and Arthas clashed again and again, shattering the sky and reducing it to the Void. The battle unleashed vast aftershocks, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing.
Not far away, Siming Jue watched with a calm expression.
"It’s our turn. I’m gradually losing my connection to the Celestial Observation Cauldron. This proves Wang Xiao is almost finished refining it. We absolutely cannot allow him to continue!"
He led the descendants of the Divine Race, along with men from the Demon-slaying Bureau and Demon Extermination Bureau from various states and Courts, in a furious charge toward the Grand Array below!
RUMBLE!
In an instant, it was as if the very heavens were collapsing!
A boundless, brilliant golden Divine Light transformed into a vast ocean, pouring down from above.
Every single point of light contained immense power, threatening to submerge everything in its path!
"Kill them! Stop them!"
Bai Wu, Hei Liu, and the other Celestial Venerables also drew upon the power of the Mountain Protection Array. With Chaos Qi coiling around their bodies, they charged to intercept Siming Jue and his Divine Race forces!
The God-Slaying War, a conflict that had lain dormant for tens of thousands of years, was now on the brink of erupting once more!
A dazzling golden sword appeared in Siming Jue’s hand. With a single slash, he sent a Celestial Venerable flying.
"You think a handful of Human Race Celestial Venerables like you are worthy of stopping us?!"
"Then what if you add us to the fight?!"
「At that very moment.」
Streaks of Escape Light soared through the distant sky.
「In an instant.」
Buddha’s Light blazed across the heavens.
A monk appeared, striding forth with an entire Buddhist mountain in tow.
"Sumeru Temple has come to aid the Human Ancestral Land in slaying gods and exterminating demons!"
The moment his voice faded, more incomparably powerful figures descended from the heavens.
"Jasper Pool has come to aid the Human Ancestral Land in slaying gods and exterminating demons!"
"The Three Pristine Ones have come to aid the Human Ancestral Land in slaying gods and exterminating demons!"
"The Carefree Sect has come to aid the Human Ancestral Land in slaying gods and exterminating demons!"
"The Tai Sui Sect has come to aid the Human Ancestral Land in slaying gods and exterminating demons!"
"We of the Human Race do not fear death!"
"We Cultivators do not shrink from a fight!"
"Kill!"
「In that instant.」
The Celestial Venerables of the Three Saints and Six Sects from all across Ye State had arrived!
A hatred that had simmered for hundreds of thousands of years...
...at this moment, finally exploded!
