Chapter 882: Chapter 881: Flying Immortal Seal_1
The elder of Wuyuan truly didn’t dare to kill Shi Xiaole.
Just as Shi Xiaole had guessed, Wuyuan Palace wasn’t created by him, and it wasn’t even something that belonged to the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor. The first elder of Wuyuan only came to know about the Divine Fire Order through what he heard from the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor.
"Sooner or later, I will make you realize how formidable I am," said the elder.
Ignoring Shi Xiaole, the elder of Wuyuan cackled viciously as he launched a fierce attack at the man in the blue mask. As long as he killed his opponent, removing the biggest obstacle, would he have to worry about not being able to deal with the rest?
"Attack together!" he ordered.
Seeing that the man in the blue mask was locked in a tight struggle with the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor and couldn’t afford to be distracted, all the experts of Wuyuan Palace, including the four elders who presided over the battling platforms, desperately attacked the man in the blue mask.
For a moment, blade radiance and sword shadows, fist strength and palm winds, mixed with layers of array systems, surged like the Milky Way, overwhelming the man in the blue mask in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The palace exploded, and the ground covered in array systems resembled a flattened beehive, as countless beams burst from the holes, splitting the long sky. The mere breath of any single one of these beams was enough to terrify Zhan Renxiong and other Void Origin Realm Martial Emperors to the point of their souls scattering. If they approached, they would likely be turned to ash instantly.
Who in the world could withstand such an offensive?
A faint mist of blood appeared hazy and indistinct. People saw that a hole had formed in the chest of the man in the blue mask. A chilling blade energy surged in, seeking to destroy his meridians and bones.
"If I break free, killing you will be as easy as cutting grass, and it’s the same now!" he declared.
The blade’s gleam traversed the sky over Rainbow State, creating a sense of apocalypse for all those who beheld it. It was unimaginable that a master of such caliber could still unleash such earth-shattering power even while sealed and separated by an array system.
The man in the blue mask didn’t utter a word. While fending off the crowd, he caught a heavenly saber with his bare hands. His body bore the brunt of waves upon waves of assaults, and blood mist scattered from him repeatedly. After several exchanges, his aura greatly weakened.
"Those who do not know their limits are left with nothing but the path to self-destruction," said the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor, as his saber’s gleam fiercely descended like rain, accompanied by his cold and disdainful words, striking continuously.
Back in his day, he roamed heaven and earth with a saber in hand, invincible in battle, causing the cosmos to lose its color, with nothing but the rolling heads of Void Origin Realm Martial Emperors falling under his blade. Even though he was trapped today, he still retained the style of a peerless master, vowing to kill the man in the blue mask on the spot!
People’s hearts and souls trembled. The battle they witnessed today completely overturned their past understanding. Could the legendary realm beyond the Void Origin Realm truly be attained by someone?
"Hahaha, Four Directions City Lord, a man nearing death need not hide his face. Let this old man see your true appearance," said the elder of Wuyuan, his curiosity piqued by the true identity of the man in the blue mask, as he felt he had gained the upper hand.
As far as he knew, even during the first grand battle between heaven and earth, the stranger’s strength was considered among the elite. He suspected that the man might be a descendant of some great figure, and if it were a new force that was rising, it needed to be eradicated root and stem!
The man in the blue mask seemed to hear none of it, every moment withstanding the assaults of a suspected Sky Origin Realm expert and various top-tier Void Origin Realm Martial Emperors. He was gravely injured, with multiple parts of his body pierced through, and the impacts of blade energy and array systems inside him. Had he been a normal person, he would have died a hundred times over.
Indeed, everyone was shocked by the terrifying combat power of the man in the blue mask, who was able to fight against so many and last this long. He was definitely a supreme master, far surpassing the likes of the Ghost Emperor.
But even so, he reached the brink of extreme danger, at risk of falling at any moment.
"This is the consequence of overestimating oneself," chuckled the master of Floating Blood Palace from a distance.
As an outsider, he had vaguely heard about the origins of Wuyuan Palace through some secret channels. Although the details were blurry, he was certain that its background was enormously significant.
"Everyone, give it your all. We are just half a step away from completing our plan," the elder of Wuyuan almost drained the power from his body, and upon hearing his words, other experts of Wuyuan Palace turned crimson as if fueled by a frenzy. They continued their relentless assault on the man in the blue mask.
"It seems I can’t avoid this last step, but..."
Unbeknownst to the others, as the blue-masked man faced what seemed to be a pathless slaying formation, there was hesitation, uncertainty, but distinctly no fear or dread in his eyes.
In the moment he pondered, a light connecting heaven and earth lit up in the distance, followed by an almost unbelieving howl from Wuyuan Elder.
"Boy, what have you done?"
Wuyuan Elder looked toward the figure in green on the stage from afar, that insignificant boy he had overlooked.
"I did what I had to," Shi Xiaole said. "You probably didn’t expect that a mere ant could ruin your grand plans."
Once someone became the master of the Divine Fire Order, their mind would become one with it, never to be released. This was the biggest trap set by Wuyuan Elder.
Right from the start, the Ghost Emperor, Floating Blood Palace Master, Master of Illusion Orchid Tower, including the City Lord of Four Directions City and even Wuyuan Elder himself, were all just sacrifices.
But now, to his shock, Wuyuan Elder discovered the connection between Shi Xiaole and the Green Divine Fire Command had been severed. It was a divine artifact from beyond the heavens, with unchangeable rules. How on earth did this boy do it?
"There is a destiny that shapes our ends, none can defy it, Wuyuan Elder, it seems you have lost," Shi Xiaole said.
Suddenly, a strange light burst from Shi Xiaole, and as soon as it appeared, it resonated with Wuyuan Palace. Instantly, all Array Systems targeting the blue-masked man surged toward Shi Xiaole, circling him and responding to his thoughts.
Moreover, in the east, south, west, and north, there also emerged four array auras far surpassing the previous ones. At the casually pointed finger of Shi Xiaole, they fused into a light pillar with a diameter of a thousand zhang, its glow like that of several suns bursting forth, as if to blind the eyes of everyone present.
"No, this is the Four Directions Great Array, one of the hidden Array Systems of Wuyuan Palace. Thirteen generations of my ancestors studied without revealing a trace. How did this boy find it? Hahaha, how unjust is fate!"
Under the glow, Wuyuan Elder’s protective Vigorous Air shattered like mist, and blood spots appeared all over his body as he laughed in agony.
Shi Xiaole coldly stared at the saber brilliance in the sky.
When he, as the Holy Young Master of Devil Path Xie Xiaofeng, had searched for the secret realm left by Divine Strategy Elder with the blue and yellow families, Demon Marquis, and others, he entered a ruined hall where the desolate soliloquy of a lonely elder was left behind.
Until the end of his life, that lonely elder was still waiting in front of the dark ruins for his Young Master to return from numerous battles, to eliminate all treachery, unswervingly unto death. (Chapter 355)
It was there that Shi Xiaole obtained the mark of Immortal Island left by the elder.
Rainbow Island is also called Immortal Island.
When Shi Xiaole touched the Green Divine Fire Command, the mark was activated spontaneously and successfully severed his connection with the Green Divine Fire Command.
"Let me see who you really are," he said.
Shi Xiaole used his arm as a sword, and the thousand-zhang-diameter light pillar fiercely collided with the descending heaven saber, blocking the lethal strike for the blue-masked man.
Clang!
The saber light dispersed, and in the obscure void, it seemed that a cry of shock and anger was heard.
At the same moment, Shi Xiaole flicked his right hand.
Pfft!
The Master of Illusion Orchid Tower suddenly found that his connection with the Blue Divine Fire Command had been severed.
As for the Ghost Emperor and Floating Blood Palace Master, they were ferociously screaming because, just like Wuyuan Elder, their energy and blood essence had merged into the distant void, futile to resist.
The situation reversed in an instant, all because of the least significant person.
The blue-masked man turned around, those profound black orbs as if containing the cosmic starry sky, steadied on the solitary figure in green at a distance, showing a ripple for the first time.
Heartless, yet seemingly full of heart.
