Chapter 781: Chapter 460 Death Strikes (Added 1/2 for Alliance Hierarch Asule123)

Zhao Sheng felt relieved at heart, and now looked at Emperor Houtu without the excessive fear he had before.

The characteristics of Phase Shifting were very distinct, on top of the big deed Zhao Sheng had done two hundred years ago.

If Emperor Houtu claimed he couldn’t guess his identity, that would truly be strange!

“So ungrateful! A heretical traitor, this god will surely execute you! As long as I capture your Nascent Soul, the secrets on your person will naturally be revealed,” Emperor Houtu said coldly and without compassion, infuriated by the other’s obstinance.

As he spoke, the Light Man raised one hand and the light in his palm shone brightly, conjuring a huge stone axe about a zhang in length from thin air.

The axe was primitive and rough in shape, filled with a wild and primal aura, entirely dark, its surface pitted with chisel marks and splattered with bloodstains, yet its edge gleamed with a cold and clear light, flickering with a chilling sharpness, as if it could cleave through all things.

Zhao Sheng’s face changed; this stone axe was full of spirituality, faintly emitting weak Law Fluctuations. It was clearly yet another rare ancient treasure, and its might seemed even greater than that of the Three Suns Intense Fire Banner.

Emperor Houtu wielded the great axe and appeared to casually cleave it towards Zhao Sheng.

With a hum!

The dark axe light flashed, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long black ribbon, effortlessly slicing open the void as if it were made of paper, revealing a curiously long black crack.

This strike, which seemingly didn’t involve much effort on Emperor Houtu’s part, was so powerful that it made Zhao Sheng instinctively terrified.

But his movements were not a bit slowed; he flicked his hand and threw out the Fiery Fire Flag, which grew to a hundred zhang in the wind and erupted with blazing light flames, transforming into a red sun and boldly meeting the black ribbon head-on.

Boom—a thunderous blast!

Th𝚒𝙨 𝖼h𝙖pƚ𝖾r ɪ𝖘 p𝐨ṡṯ𝖾∂ b𝖞 𝖪𝚒𝑡℮𝓃0ⱴℯ𝓁

The red sun split in two from the middle and then collapsed into a grand burst of light flames.

Yet the black ribbon was only slightly blurred, slowed a fraction, and continued to cleave straight down towards the top of Zhao Sheng’s head.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng’s heart sank, and his thoughts raced like lightning.

Just one simple exchange had made it abundantly clear that even a Great Cultivator wielding an ancient treasure would find it difficult to withstand a strike from Divinity Transformation.

And this was under the circumstances that Emperor Houtu had not even launched a Primordial Spirit type of attack.

Compared to mana, the disparity between True Monarchs and Nascent Souls in terms of Divine Thought was huge enough to drive one to despair.

Moreover, the fact that Emperor Houtu could casually produce the stone axe, an ancient treasure, made it clear that he definitely still had other trump cards he hadn’t brought to this place.

“…This place is not far from the main army, it’s not wise to fight for too long. Once I’ve confirmed the extent of his strength, I must immediately withdraw and retreat!”

As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhao Sheng tossed the Fiery Fire Flag above his head and simultaneously a Divine Thought vanished into the banner.

In the blink of an eye, the Three Suns Intense Fire Banner burst forth blinding light, and the banner rolled up, creating three huge Magic Vortexes out of thin air.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Blinding Divine Light exploded from the vortexes of mana, followed by red, purple, and black suns rolling out from the center of the vortexes.

As soon as these three suns appeared, they immediately emitted an extremely terrifying intense heat, stacking into a ring and suddenly almost burning through the void with their supreme light heat.

The black ribbon was instantly engulfed by the endless light heat, turning to nothingness in an instant.

Emperor Houtu, upon witnessing this spectacle, shrank his radiant divine form as if he was shocked.

The next second, his figure suddenly moved and swiftly appeared before Zhao Sheng, as fast as if he had used Instantaneous Movement.

Emperor Houtu let out a cold smile and simply waved a hand towards Zhao Sheng.

Boom!

A blinding burst of blood light suddenly erupted from the stone axe, growing from small to large in an instant, dazzling as it released thousands of wolf-smoke-like blood energies rushing towards Cloud Sky.

Massive blood light interwove and entangled, forming an enormous blood-colored axe that radiated a terrifyingly ferocious aura, causing the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy to churn tumultuously.

The blood-colored giant axe cleaved down, and even without the edge reaching him, the Bone Mountain beneath Zhao Sheng suddenly cracked, being split in two in an instant.

Swirling yellow Earth Qi gushed from inside the mountain and transformed into a thousand-zhang giant palm, which viciously grasped towards that ant-like being.

From above and below, the attack came from both sides, the momentum terrifying, making Zhao Sheng seem doomed to certain death.

At this moment, however, he was unable to move, for countless strands of Earth Qi had already burst out from beneath the ground and tightly entwined around his legs, attacking his Core Energy Sea with a vicious and continuous assault like a living creature.

If it hadn’t been for the multiple layers of Magic Barriers that Zhao Sheng had laid down in a row, temporarily blocking the erosion of Earth Qi.

He would have been turned into a Thick Earth Puppet the moment he laid eyes on Emperor Houtu.

Zhao Sheng’s body erupted suddenly with a blinding intensity of light flames.

His hands gripped the flagpole, his expression solemn and earnest, and in an instant all the myriad Magic Spells condensed into a single moment.

Mysterious and primitive runes danced and emerged on the surface of the Three Suns Fierce Fire Banner, and the three suns suddenly detonated altogether.

A burst of blinding light heat swept through all directions in an instant, obfuscating the great void and blocking out the scrutiny from above.

The unbearably hot light heat cloud actually held back the falling blood-light giant axe, preventing it from descending even an inch further for a moment.

At the same moment,

Zhao Sheng’s expression was extremely solemn, his face as somber as a mountain, and he suddenly lifted his right hand, lightly passing it over the base of his thighs.

With a spurt,

Blood gushed forth, and his thighs suddenly dropped off.

Simultaneously, the Thousand Flame Tripod shot out from the Dantian, releasing two types of True Fire, one black, one gold.

The Death Soul Black Flame collided with Golden Crow True Fire, and in an instant, a grand expanse of Annihilation Grey Light materialized, directly colliding with the Earth Qi giant palm.

In the next moment, the Earth Qi giant palm disappeared silently, almost entirely gone, leaving only the remainder of the palm, which collapsed into a large mass of Earth Qi and then was wiped out by the Chaotic Gray Light.
