Chapter 649 - 632: Both Wiped Out, Forbidden Aura (Part 2)
Subsequently, a terrifying force rumbled through, crushing everything in its path.
Witness fairy Tianyan’s entire being, instantaneously transformed into a mist of blood and her essence utterly annihilated.
Whoosh!
Senior Brother Hua Zhen exhibited no hesitation whatsoever.
He transformed into a golden streak and darted towards the core of the Divine Ruins.
However, before he could advance far, a colossal hammer, shimmering with infinite Dao charm, suddenly struck down from the heavens.
Heaven-breaking Hammer.
Senior Brother Hua Zhen roared furiously.
The golden pagoda above his head incessantly quivered, as though in futile resistance against the hammer’s assault.
But it was all destined to be in vain.
Amidst the relentless rumble.
Senior Brother Hua Zhen’s body instantly exploded into a mist of blood at the front of the Divine Ruins.
The horrendous spectacle shocked everyone to their core.
They simply couldn’t believe their own eyes.
Four Immortals, accompanied by a hundred cultivators, had arranged such a formation, yet were utterly helpless against Ji Haoyuan; they were all counter-slaughtered by him.
Where did this monstrous being come from? How could he possess such formidable power?
Moreover,
Even fairy Tianyan and Senior Brother Hua Zhen, their cultivation was affected by the rules of this realm.
But how could he, being an existence stronger than both, seem unaffected in the slightest?
Numerous questions swirled within the hearts of countless individuals.
Especially those cultivators situated in the Divine Ruins.
They were both confused and terrified.
Without a doubt.
This is a truly ruthless man.
And they did not doubt in the least.
At this point, Ji Haoyuan would not easily halt his actions.
The reality also affirmed this.
After dealing with fairy Tianyan and Senior Brother Hua Zhen, Ji Haoyuan’s gaze suddenly shifted toward the boundary wall of the Divine Ruins.
He hadn’t forgotten his true goal for this journey.
Everything just prior was merely a warm-up.
Now, it was truly time for him to reckon with the Divine Ruins.
After all, their prior conduct had already touched his baseline.
Moreover, the Divine Ruins acted without any scruples.
In years past, to successfully receive Upper Realm Immortals into the Lower Realm, they spared no effort to blood sacrifice multiple worlds of life to briefly open the channel between the realms, ultimately causing countless innocent lives to perish.
Furthermore.
They did not hesitate to cause celestial upheaval in this Lower Realm, even twisting the rules of the heavens and the earth, depriving countless cultivators of their advancement path.
Countless lives were unknowingly lost because of this.
In short, over the past centuries, any negative occurrences were invariably linked to the Divine Ruins.
Thus.
Now as he intended to reckon with the Divine Ruins, there was no trace of burden in his heart.
Previously, he lacked the capability.
But things were different now; now that he had grasped near-supreme power in this Lower Realm, he certainly wouldn’t show any courtesy to the Divine Ruins anymore.
As to the possible reckoning by the Divine Celestial Palace thereafter, he wasn’t overly concerned.
Since learning that Senior Taixu Bai and the Dongyue Saint Master had already mastered Sect Hierarch level power, he understood that he wasn’t entirely without backing.
Therefore, at this moment, Ji Haoyuan suddenly made his move against the Divine Ruins.
Rumble!
Witness as in the sky above, a massive hand shimmering with five-colored radiance abruptly emerged.
That colossal hand seemed to envelop endless cosmic might.
Its mere appearance caused the boundary wall of the Divine Ruins ahead to tremble violently.
The space, like a shattered mirror, quickly disintegrated.
Everyone within the Divine Ruins felt the arrival of an end-times-like catastrophe.
Many, not even understanding what was happening, began disintegrating and shattering.
The Mountain Guardian formations’ glows, like flames doused by water, began rapidly extinguishing.
At this trend, it estimated that it wouldn’t take long before the entire terrain of the Divine Ruins would utterly collapse under Ji Haoyuan’s colossal five-colored hand.
All those observing this scene felt an icy chill arise in their hearts.
Such terrifying power, who could possibly withstand it?
Especially those sects that had grievances with Ji Haoyuan or targeted the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land over the past years, were trembling uncontrollably inside.
They knew well that once Ji Haoyuan destroyed the Divine Ruins, their turn would likely come next.
But, right at this moment, a force powerful enough to cause anyone’s heart to palpitate suddenly arose from the depths of the Divine Ruins.
In the sky, an ebony-gold large blade suddenly appeared.
The surface of that blade was enwrapped with innumerable grievances and negative emotions.
Even ordinary cultivators, with a mere glance, felt a delusion that their Divine Soul was about to sink.
Even Mahayana Level Saint Monarchs, before such power, felt immensely small and vulnerable.
As if the blade slightly grazing them would instantly annihilate their form and essence.
"Nanhua, are you truly intent on fighting us to the death?"
At this moment, an elder with gray hair unexpectedly emerged from within the Divine Ruins.
Radiant immortal lights encircled him.
His aura seemed even stronger than fairy Tianyan and Senior Brother Hua Zhen from earlier.
This, unbelievably, was yet another Lower Realm Immortal of True Immortal level!
The most crucial point was, he was currently clutching that ebony-gold large blade.
A peculiar power flowed across the surface of the blade.
Ji Haoyuan heard the wailing of countless souls and the boundless torrents of blood transforming into waterfalls, wildly rushing toward him.
This made his gaze turn incomparably sharp.
Simultaneously, deep within his being, a trace of awe quietly emerged.
For he discerned a hint of forbidden aura on that ebony-gold large blade.
Could it be that the blade in the elder’s hand was a forbidden artifact?
Impossible!
If they genuinely possessed such foundation, they wouldn’t have let him slaughter fairy Tianyan and Senior Brother Hua Zhen so freely earlier.
There must be something he hadn’t yet detected.
Unconsciously, Ji Haoyuan’s eyes slightly narrowed.
In an instant, he activated his Dao-seeking Heavenly Eye.
Alongside it, the third eye on his forehead slowly blinked open.
It was his Divine Punishment Eye.
He pushed both of his peculiar heavenly eyes to their utmost.
In a moment, he finally perceived the truth ahead, his mouth curled into a subtle, imperceptible smirk.
Things were precisely as he had conjectured.
That ebony-gold large blade indeed possessed a trace of forbidden aura.
Yet unfortunately, the blade was not a true forbidden artifact, rather akin to items he had previously encountered, merely stained with a hint of forbidden aura.
Against such items, given his current strength, resisting them would be exceedingly taxing and potentially inflict considerable injury upon him.
However, in his possession were genuinely forbidden-level treasures.
Not to mention the severely mysterious ruined copper bell, merely the God Dao Tablet he obtained from a secret realm in the Upper Realm was a bona fide forbidden treasure.
Although that forbidden treasure’s essence pertained to a Primordial Spirit-type artifact, not a aggressive, forbidden-class weapon.
Nevertheless, a forbidden treasure is a forbidden treasure.
Once he unfurled it, the horrific might unleashed would be beyond ordinary comprehension.
Yet, forbidden treasures are temptations even to Sect Hierarch-level individuals.
If he intended on deploying such a treasure, it must remain completely concealed.
Thus, in this moment, Ji Haoyuan directly cast forth several Immortal Treasures he possessed.
They fell into different positions around him.
Instantly, forming an exceedingly intricate and arcane isolation formation.
This formation directly impaired anyone’s investigation of the area.
Though he knew some things couldn’t be entirely kept secret.
As long as he masked them temporarily, securing enough time, it would suffice.
