Chapter 255
At the moment this never-before-seen divine regalia character note took form in this world, this entire world seemed to return to its primordial state, desolation all over, no man, no plant, no beast - solely that primeval sound marking the world's beginning.
Boom! Boom!
Rumbles akin to thunder surged across the skies, from the far to the near, followed by an omnipotent pressure descending on the place. The thick mist which had formed from the array was suppressed immediately along with divine golden light flashing inside it. The scorching light spread like wildfire, making the mist explode in an instant.
"What is that?"
Wang Chonglin was extremely frightened as the fiery light was too hot. A huge hole had burnt open up in the mist due to it.
"Aaaaahhhh!"
When that fiery light fell on Wang Chonglin's body, he began to scream loudly. Everyone looked towards him in surprise. In the instant that divine golden light fell on him, the flesh on his face, his body, as well as his arms, began to burn up, revealing the bones under his flesh.
"Gatemaster!"
Long Zaizong cried out in fear. The man who he viewed as the strongest had been defeated, that too using such a mysterious note spoken by Jiang Xiu.
"Strike at my divinity source!"
Wang Chonglin roared back at him. Long Zaizong naturally knew where the divinity source was. After all, it was the most vital part for a cultivator. Striking there was akin to death, but he didn't have much time to ponder right now. He immediately drew his sword out and struck.
However, when the tip of the sword stabbed towards the Yin Palace, the divine golden light burnt it into ashes, and the flame followed up along the blade towards him. Long Zaizong got scared and abandoned his sword in a rush.
His sword was a famous sword which could behead a demigod's body with ease yet it was destroyed with a single touch.
This was too terrifying!
"Aaaaahhhhhh!!"
At this moment, Wang Chonglin's flesh was no more, only a skeleton was left behind, bones utterly devoid of life. Sounds of disintegration came from the skeleton's soles as it broke and collapsed into a pile of bones.
"Jiang Luoxia, I'll take you with me to my grave!"
Looking at this scene, everyone's faces turned pale.
They were scared witless by Jiang Xiu's methods.
Just what is happening?
Jiang Xiu was also astonished, no, it was more proper to say he was jubilant from the shock. The divine regalia character's first note which he had awakened turned out to be the First Primeval Note. Its might far exceeded his imagination.
There were 33 Worldly Notes: The Five Phases Characters - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, the Six-Syllables of the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva mantra - Na Mo A Mi Tuo Fo, the Nine Secret Characters, the Twelve Constellation Characters, and the First Primeval Note, altogether forming 33 of them.
Clearly, the power of the First Primeval Note was abnormal. Most regretfully, this First Primeval Note was merely this lower world's First Primeval Note. If it were used on the Immortal Martial Continent, its power was bound to be on the same rank as that of an Immortal Monarch.
"Hahahaha..."
He too couldn't help but laugh in joy faced with such a development.
"Useless trash.."
He immediately looked towards the sky. That mist was still descending downwards. Though the array's master was dead, the array was already initiated successfully. Just like a tornado, its origin might've been a flap of a tiny butterfly, and its death had no effect on the tornado.
The worldly energy of an area of 100 km was enough to crush this entire mountain range.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Xiu sneered, "Do you think you can take me to the grave along with you?" He recalled the wicked smile Wang Chonglin showed him before dying.
He soared up into the sky.
"You're too na?ve!"
"You'll never be able to see the scene of me getting crushed by the worldly energy you gathered, not even in your death.."
The dazzling saber pill at his forehead pulled him up into the sky and rushed into the hole which was opened by his divine regalia character note, passing through the reddish-white mist, gradually rising up and up, just like an immortal god.
Boom!
1st strike!
It was as if a 10-ton bomb had exploded in there, the boundless energy waves charging towards the horizons. The onlookers below only saw a huge white scar appear and vaguely saw a several hundred meters huge saber.
2nd Strike!
Another white scar appeared in the sky.
3rd Strike!
Although they didn't know what Jiang Xiu was doing, the domineering scene of a person brandishing such a huge saber in the sky appeared really godly and left them in utter shock.
4th Strike..
His shadow flickered, followed by a saber light filling the sky. From the satellite feed, it could be vaguely seen that the sword light formed some kind of massive design inside the mist.
This design was extraordinarily complicated and linked internally, making it even more profound and difficult to comprehend.
"Break!"
Jiang Xiu didn't even take a glance back and flew upper in the skies being pulled by the sword pill and watched on as the sword light inside the mist exploded fiercely.
Boom!
The entire sky trembled as that sword light gave rise to a mighty destructive force, leaving everything in devastation.
Space, time and matter, nothing was spared.
Saber intent forming an array, converting the boundlessness into intent!historical
A saber array to break the magic array!
The whole sky trembled violently as the mist got twisted due to the countless tiny saber lights, giving rise to crackling and rattling sounds of explosions.
Those witnessing the scene from below felt as if the heavens were collapsing.
"T-This is heavenly suppression!"
China's demigod, Liu Yunhai was utterly shocked.
"I have no more regrets left in life after witnessing today's battle."
His wizened face was already covered in tears.
The Japanese martial artist had gone weak on the knees and knelt down on the ground like a pious believer, looking at the heavens. The foreigner besides him had already lost his sanity.
"This child is so powerful?"
Long Zaizong muttered to himself.
Using one's own power to resist against the worldly energy of an area of 100 km was too inhuman, such an ability was similar to a god's descent on this world.
Bzzzttt!
Boom!
The countless saber light formed due to the saber array cut apart the mist. The mist had already grown thinner and light had slowly begun to penetrate the mist and lighten the sky.
Boom!
Followed by the final explosion, the fog disappeared baselessly after losing the power to sustain itself.
The calamity was finally gone.
In case the array detonated, no organism in the 100 km range would've survived, let alone these onlookers. Even Jiang Xiu might've fallen.
The mist dispersed, and the world lit up again.
A silhouette appeared beside Wang Chonglin. It was Jiang Xiu. He picked up the Longevity Stone which had fallen on the ground.
"Hmmm?"
There was actually another one inside the pile of bones.
"You schemed to draw me here using the Longevity Stone so you must be satisfied, right?" These two Longevity Stones would definitely increase his sword pill's strength after they were refined.
This trip to Europe hadn't been in vain.
"What will you do now?"
Jiang Xiu's gaze fell on the sole surviving demigod of Heaven's Gate, Long Zaizong.
"I.. I pay my respects to Mr. Jiang."
Long Zaizong rushed to offer a salute.
Jiang Xiu placed his hands behind him, "Don't you know I always exterminate all the enemy?"
Long Zaizong's expression warped, fear filling his eyes, "Mr. Jiang, please spare my life.. You've already wiped out all of Heaven's Gate and even killed the Gatemaster. My Long family won't dare to make ourselves your enemy."
Long Yingqing, standing at a distance, also felt her heart stop.
She wanted to go beg him to let her ancestor go free, but she knew it'd have no effect.
Jiang Xiu gazed at him apathetically then muttered, "Go."
"The reason I'm letting you go isn't that I'm benevolent but rather because even though I had invaded Heaven's Gate, you've never attacked me even all the while."
Long Zaizong became jubilant, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"
"Phew!"
The old officer, as well as the other workers watching the China satellite feed, relaxed their breath then went high with ecstasy. Jiang Luoxia had won. They had won. This battle had an extraordinary significance for China.
"Mr. Jiang really annihilated Heaven's Gate by himself."
An Long sighed as he looked at the mountains of corpses. An organization which had lorded over others for several hundred years, a power which had given a headache to each country, was utterly annihilated.
Descend, the nine mythical arts, cleanse the heavens, a thousand years of karma, an artless heart yet romantic!
Today, Jiang Luoxia's name had shocked the entire world.
"My face was smacked again, hehe.."
The shock An Long felt hadn't settled down even after a long time. The escape measures he had prepared were of no use and a complete waste.
Though he felt he was useless, he felt happier.
From now on, Jiang Luoxia's name wasn't there on the Demigod Ranking, as he was an existence which surpassed demigods.
