Chapter 375: Chapter 199: Slaying a 7th-Order, Invincible in the World
Sajia said coolly,
"So what if we found it? Without the Celestial Observation Cauldron, we simply don’t have enough energy to traverse the cosmic rift and return to our original corner of the cosmos."
Siming Tian said,
"Heh heh, hasn’t someone capable of refining the Celestial Observation Cauldron just appeared? As long as we control him, we can make him operate the cauldron and take us back to our original cosmos. For that goal, the grudges between our two races can be set aside for now."
In the cosmos where their Divine-Demon Races resided, a great cosmic war had once occurred.
Countless powerful experts were drawn into the conflict.
In the end, the very cosmos was torn apart.
Siming Tian and Sajia had been leading their strongest warriors in a great battle when they were accidentally swept into a cosmic rift, arriving in this new region of space.
After searching far and wide, they finally found this Life Planet.
And they also discovered the Marvel, the Celestial Observation Cauldron!
To cross back to their original cosmos, they had to use the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
Thus, both Divine-Demon Races made their move, attempting to seize the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
However, they were stopped by the Human Race’s leader of that era, Yu!
The three factions became embroiled in a long, drawn-out war.
In the end, Yu used his own life as a catalyst to split the Celestial Observation Cauldron into nine pieces, using them to suppress the Nine Provinces.
Afterward, the consciousness of this Heaven and Earth, under the control of the Celestial Observation Cauldron, merged with Yu’s body.
It then expelled the two Divine-Demon Races from this realm.
The Divine-Demon Races were also rejected by this Heaven and Earth.
If they ever entered it, they would be struck by heavenly retribution!
Even as Star Lords, they would have to pay an enormous price to resist the retribution.
Thus, the Divine-Demon Races could only linger outside this realm.
Fortunately, after eons had passed, they found a way to enter this realm.
They could send only their essence blood into the world, which would then fuse with a human body.
This way, Heaven and Earth would not react at all.
This is how today’s Divine-Demon Descendants came to be.
Because they possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Divine-Demons, the Divine-Demon Descendants were born powerful.
Before long, the descendants of the Divine Race secretly took control of the Human Race, while the descendants of the Demon Race controlled the Demon Race!
The two sides fought countless battles over time, eventually gaining control of the Celestial Observation Cauldrons placed across the Nine Provinces. This is what led to the current situation!
Unfortunately, in the hundreds of thousands of years that followed, not a single descendant of the Divine-Demon Races could refine the Celestial Observation Cauldron!
Neither Siming Tian nor Sajia had expected that a member of the Human Race would refine the Celestial Observation Cauldron today.
One must understand that even Yu, back in his day, was only able to control the complete Celestial Observation Cauldron through special means.
He had never actually refined it!
Most importantly, the person who could refine the Celestial Observation Cauldron was merely a Celestial Venerable who had not yet reached Tier Seven.
Sajia spoke up,
"Then let’s finish this quickly. This possession won’t last long!"
These Ancient Divine-Demons had, of course, arranged numerous backup plans to ensure they could completely control this realm.
Besides establishing the Divine-Demon Descendants, they had also left a piece of their own Origin within the strongest descendant of each generation.
If a Divine-Demon Descendant suffered a devastating blow, they could use that Origin to possess the body and descend!
Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, they had descended in this way once or twice to suppress rebellious humans!
Siming Tian looked at the surrounding Celestial Venerables of the Human Race, who were frozen in place. He snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"Humans, oh, humans. How many times must we slaughter you before you learn to submit?"
"Do you really think that just by refining the Celestial Observation Cauldron, you can contend with my Divine Race?!"
He shook his head, a vast power surging within him. He simply waved his hand.
ZING!
The Star Sword in his hand swept out, blasting toward all the Celestial Venerables of the Human Race.
It was an ordinary-looking slash, but in Siming Tian’s hand, it became incomparably powerful.
It seemed to contain the overwhelming might of Heaven and Earth itself.
Before this slash, all rules seemed to fail.
All the Celestial Venerables discovered to their horror that their bodies and Divine Wills seemed to be sealed, rendering them completely immobile.
They could only watch helplessly as the sword slash came for them.
Just then, VMMMM!
Another seemingly eternal Tai Chi Diagram materialized, blocking the path in front of all the Celestial Venerables.
RUMBLE—
The sword slash struck the Tai Chi Diagram, and it was as if two Stars had collided, unleashing a tidal wave of immense energy.
However, a gentle, breeze-like energy swept past, instantly suppressing all the commotion.
The next moment, a figure walked out of the Void, calmly looking toward Siming Tian and Sajia.
The surrounding Celestial Venerables grew excited upon seeing this figure appear.
"It’s Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang has appeared!"
"Greetings, Lord Wang!"
Although they, like Wang Xiao, were also Celestial Venerables, they were clearly no match for him in terms of strength.
Thus, when facing Wang Xiao, their tone carried an unconscious trace of reverence.
Wang Xiao spoke calmly,
"Thank you all for coming from so far to protect me. I am deeply grateful."
After a pause, he continued,
"However, for now, please return to the Protective Array. Leave the rest to me!"
The other Celestial Venerables breathed a sigh of relief. They all cupped their fists, said no more, and flickered away, following Gongsun Yan back into the Human Ancestral Land.
They had just witnessed the power of the Divine-Demon Races who had descended through possession.
If a fight broke out, they wouldn’t even have the strength to resist.
That level of power was on a completely different plane from their own.
They were not qualified to interfere in the coming battle, even as Celestial Venerables.
Seeing Wang Xiao appear, Siming Tian and Sajia didn’t rush to attack. Instead, they sized him up carefully.
Siming Tian spoke,
"Tsk, tsk. To think that after we secretly altered the Human Race’s Cultivation Techniques, a prodigy like you could still emerge. Such enviable talent!"
Sajia said,
"I’ll give you a chance. Submit to us, and we can let you control the Celestial Observation Cauldron, and even take you to a much vaster realm!"
The cosmos they came from was far more immense than this one.
It was filled with countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
There were even peerless experts far stronger than them!
This was why they had always wanted to return.
Staying in this cosmos, they could only wait for Death, unable to advance any further!
Wang Xiao said coolly,
"You two haven’t descended in your true bodies, have you?"
Sajia’s brow twitched slightly.
"And what if we haven’t? Even so, dealing with a Celestial Venerable like you who hasn’t even reached Star Lord is a simple matter."
"Do you think you can stop us with just the Celestial Observation Cauldron?!"
Wang Xiao smiled.
"I don’t intend to stop you. I intend to..."
"Annihilate you!"
The moment his voice fell, RUMBLE!
A brilliant pillar of black light shot up from within Wang Xiao’s body, piercing the sky.
In the vault of heaven, it took the form of a Great Cauldron.
In that instant, all Nine Provinces trembled.
Immediately after, as if in response to this pillar of black light, the other eight provinces also erupted with blazing black pillars of their own!
These pillars of light transformed into the shapes of great cauldrons and flew toward the Human Ancestral Land in Ye State at an impossible speed.
Their speed already surpassed that of light.
In barely a ten-thousandth of a second, they crossed an infinite expanse of Space to appear before Wang Xiao.
"Combine!"
Wang Xiao’s Divine Thought suddenly swept out.
The next moment, the Celestial Observation Cauldron, which had been split for hundreds of thousands of years, finally became one.
It was once again a complete Marvel!
"Annihilate!"
Wang Xiao uttered another single word.
In the instant the Celestial Observation Cauldron became whole, the Tai Chi Eternal Heaven manifested once more.
Within it, thousands of Dao Fruits shone, transforming into what looked like an endless sea of Stars that enveloped Siming Tian and Sajia.
Then, RUMBLE—
A sound like the primordial creation of the world boomed out.
The Tai Chi Eternal Heaven began to collapse violently inward, toward a single point at its center.
"Hmph?!"
"Stop him!"
Siming Tian and Sajia felt the world-creating energy surging within and their expressions changed slightly!
The two of them roared, unleashing an absolute power from their bodies that far surpassed Grotto Heaven Power.
However, this power was instantly obliterated in the massive explosion of the Tai Chi Eternal Heaven!
"No! You will regret this!"
"Just you wait! When we return, we will ensure you die without a burial ground, no matter the cost!"
Accompanied by two furious roars, Siming Tian and Sajia completely dissipated.
Only the Heaven-Reaching Rod and the Star Sword were left behind, falling to the ground.
「Inside the Human Ancestral Land.」
The crowd of Celestial Venerables stared at the scene before them, all of them stunned.
They had expected a peerless, world-shaking battle.
They never imagined the fight would be over in an instant.
It ended so quickly they didn’t even have time to react.
They had witnessed the power of Siming Tian and Sajia, who had descended via possession.
To them, a Celestial Venerable was like an ant trying to shake the heavens.
And yet, such peerless experts had been annihilated in a flash.
’This Lord Wang... could he be invincible?!’
