Chapter 998 - 998 Jun Xiaoyao's Breakthrough
The Grand Sage realm is formidable,but before a true Supreme,it still holds no power to resist.
That Su Hongyi could rise from a little beggar to her current Grand Sage realm was already no small feat.
But sadly,facing these seeds of the Ancient Imperial Clans,it still felt like a mayfly trying to shake a great tree,a mantis blocking a chariot.
Su Hongyi collapsed into a pool of blood.
Already clad in red robes,her garments were now soaked through with fresh blood,making her appear all the more strikingly beautiful.
She struggled to rise from the pool of blood,her body riddled with torn and pierced wounds.
One could even see the stark white of bone within!
Su Hongyi spat out a mouthful of blood,yet still stood before the great mountain of bones.
That frail figure,like an unyielding iron wall,stood guard before her master.
Her tone remained ice-cold as she said: "Unless Hongyi dies,no one... shall disturb the young master."
"Hehe,quite the loyal little bitch." The Phoenix Princess covered her red lips with a jade hand and let out a light laugh at the sight.
She had naturally not used her full strength,otherwise she could have killed Su Hongyi long ago.
This was deliberate,she wanted to torment Jun Xiaoyao's follower right before his eyes.
To prevent his heart from fully settling.
And thereby disrupt his cultivation and comprehension.
One moment of carelessness,and he might even succumb to qi deviation.
If that truly happened,the consequences would be severe.
Death and the erasure of one's dao would be perfectly normal outcomes.
The Phoenix Princess continued her assault,as seven-colored feathers transformed into flying blades that swept outward.
In her eyes,Su Hongyi was nothing but a struggling ant.
Splat!
The sound of flesh being torn apart rang out.
Su Hongyi's two arms were severed and fell away,blood spraying across the sky.
The blood dyed Su Hongyi's long black hair,which had flowed like a waterfall,into a vivid crimson red.
Su Hongyi still stood,refusing to fall.
Yet this scene,which was extremely gory,caused some of the cultivators on the Immortal Domain side to frown slightly.
"If you're going to kill,just kill her outright. What kind of thing is this,torturing someone to death?" Jun Qingyan furrowed her delicate brows.
The two realms were enemies,and slaughter was inevitable.
But this kind of deliberate toying and cruel killing left her feeling somewhat disgusted.
Ling Yuan saw this scene and also furrowed her phoenix brows.
If it were her,ending the opponent with a single palm strike would also be a kind of mercy in its own way.
This sort of toying was repulsive.
And at this moment,in the shadows on the other side,several figures appeared.
They concealed their auras well and had not been detected by anyone.
They were none other than the Farshore Prince,the Blood Emperor's Son,the Ji Meng Emperor's Son,Chi,and others.
"Oh,it seems they've already made their move."
"That Chaos Physique is actually in the middle of comprehending the dao,is he trying to break through? What nerve."
Under normal circumstances,they should have been the ones to act in a situation like this.
Only they had the standing to contend with the seed-level prodigies of the Ancient Imperial Clans.
But they did not do so,instead watching from the shadows to see how things unfolded.
Waiting to reap the benefits while others fought.
"Let's watch for now. Sit back and watch the tigers fight. If even they can't completely kill the Chaos Physique,then we'll have to find our own opportunity to strike." The Farshore Prince said with a cold and sinister gaze.
"One person managing to make both realms want him dead. The Chaos Physique has truly made enemies of everyone." The Blood Emperor's Son revealed a sneer of cold mockery.
On this side,the Phoenix Princess continued her assault,toying with Su Hongyi like a cat playing with a mouse.
Wound after wound,deep enough to expose bone,accumulated on Su Hongyi's body.
Even some of her internal organs were faintly visible.
Yet Su Hongyi simply would not fall.
It was Jun Xiaoyao who had saved her.
Her life had always belonged to Jun Xiaoyao.
So to die for Jun Xiaoyao,Su Hongyi would have no regrets whatsoever.
"This wretched girl."
Seeing that Su Hongyi refused to fall even in death,a flicker of displeasure crossed the Phoenix Princess's face.
Then she made her move,bringing forth a precious fan woven from seven-colored true feathers.
She fanned it outward.
A thousand-zhang arc of seven-colored light blades swept out.
Directly severing both of Su Hongyi's legs!
Su Hongyi collapsed completely into the pool of blood.
Having lost both her arms and legs,she no longer even had the ability to stand.
"Young master... Hongyi has done her best,it's all Hongyi's fault for being useless..."
From the blood loss,Su Hongyi's consciousness was beginning to blur.
Yet even so,the name she murmured on her lips was still Jun Xiaoyao.
And what of Jun Xiaoyao?
He had naturally sensed everything happening in the outside world.
But his state of mind was calm,and he had not been moved in the slightest by Su Hongyi's miserable condition.
Jun Xiaoyao's mental fortitude needed no further elaboration,he could remain unmoved even as a mountain collapsed before him.
Right now,he needed to focus his mind and spirit,and could not afford any mistakes.
So even as Su Hongyi endured such a wretched state.
Jun Xiaoyao remained as if he had heard nothing.
Not because he was cold-blooded.
But because he could not let everything fall apart at the last moment.
And there was one more crucial point.
After comprehending the Sacrificial Ode of All Living Beings.
Jun Xiaoyao had finally come to understand the truth of certain matters.
Su Hongyi would not die.
At least within the Grand Sacrificial Blood Ground,she absolutely would not die.
So Jun Xiaoyao was at ease in his comprehension.
Watching Su Hongyi be tormented could not stir any reaction from Jun Xiaoyao.
The Phoenix Princess and the others also lost interest.
Several days later.
The Ancient Ninth Slaughter Formation was fully set up.
"It's finally done. The Chaos Physique is as good as ours." The Golden Crow Minor Sage King's pupils blazed with brilliant light.
"Slaying the Chaos Physique is a great event of this era,one that will be remembered for ten thousand ages." Xuan Haoqung's tone also carried a trace of excitement.
Around the great mountain of bones,a terrifying aura surged and churned.
Even Supremes could sense that smell of death.
More than ten seed-level prodigies of the Ancient Imperial Clans took their positions,each occupying a designated direction,ready to activate the Ancient Ninth Slaughter Formation.
And right at this moment.
Rumble!
Suddenly,a sound like muffled thunder rang out.
Over the wilderness,dark clouds pressed down upon the sky,heavy and oppressive.
"What's going on?"
Some of the prodigies raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
Within the pitch-black starry expanse,tribulation clouds were gathering,their fluctuations incomparably terrifying.
"Could it be..."
Many people's gazes suddenly snapped toward Jun Xiaoyao atop the great mountain of bones.
An overwhelming sense of disbelief surged forth!
The Golden Crow Minor Sage King,Xuan Haoqung,and the others also felt their hearts lurch.
At the peak of the great mountain of bones.
Jun Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes.
Around him,chaotic mist roiled and churned,a terrifying aura spreading outward.
The Heavenly Immortal Fruit,the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Elixir,the Blood Crimson Datura Flower,and others had all been refined into his body.
Dense law energy,within his body,intertwined with immortal qi.
As if recombining anew,they spliced together into a complete law.
This law was one that belonged entirely and completely to Jun Xiaoyao himself.
"It's here."
Jun Xiaoyao rose to his feet,a vast and mighty pressure surging forth,dominating the entire field!
Everyone present,even the young Supremes,felt as though they could not breathe.
"This... is he about to break through to Supreme?"
"But even breaking through to Supreme shouldn't be this terrifying!"
Many people had gone pale,crying out in alarm.
Boom!
Within the starry expanse,tribulation clouds surged and churned.
Lightning split the heavens,illuminating the dark and heavy cosmos.
Red,orange,yellow,green,cyan,blue,violet.
And also black,white,chaos-colored and more.
All manner of lightning tribulations were brewing and rolling.
At the same time,countless hazy phantom figures emerged.
Like young Supremes walking forth from the annals of ancient history.
"That is... the Terminal Supreme Tribulation!"
Seeing that dreadful tribulation punishment that blanketed the cosmos,the entire Grand Sacrificial Blood Ground,and indeed the entire wilderness,every living being watched with trembling pupils!
Even the great figures of both realms took notice,revealing expressions of shock,momentarily stunned.
