Chapter 791: Chapter 415: Defying the Immortal Heavenly Venerable_2
The icy light pierced into the Divine Soul, creating a wound that continued to expand. Where the Long Spear struck, the Divine Soul seemed to be continuously dissolving.
Intense pain from the Divine Soul struck, bloodshot spread throughout his eyes, which nearly bulged out of their sockets. Even an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, caught off guard, could not withstand such agony of the Divine Soul.
Almost instinctively, almost subconsciously, he clutched his head with both hands, emitting a piercing scream.
And no sooner had the scream escaped than he belatedly realized that he was in the midst of fierce combat, but by then it was all too late.
Boom!
The black sword light was terrifying, perhaps more than ever before, turning the space above the large pit into darkness that seemed to annihilate everything.
Its sharpness was unmatched, its annihilative intent made him shiver through and through.
The intense pain in the Divine Soul made his reactions dull, and his defenses were also slow, with only the instinct of a powerful being prompting a single line of defense.
However, this defense seemed somewhat fragile.
Splurt!
Under a single sword strike, his body was cut open, his Physical Body dissolving.
Immediately afterward, the furious True Dragon struck, as if seeking mutual destruction.
Another gleam of spear light emerged, stabbing into his Divine Soul, with specks of light scattering like extinguished stars upon it.
Boom!
Another fierce wind swept over the Divine Soul. This terrifying wind dissipated the Divine Soul and tore it apart, while on his Physical Body, it was as if a giant was wielding the sky, slamming down upon him.
Even as an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, claimed to live as long as the Domain, under such furious attacks, his Physical Body disintegrated, his Divine Soul torn apart, he too would fall!
Having succeeded with their strike, Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Jiang Buping were all frantically attacking.
Meng Chong targeted his Physical Body, being a practitioner of Physical Body Martial Arts, he naturally understood how to obliterate an opponent's Physical Body.
And Xu Yan and Jiang Buping were assaulting his Divine Soul.
Boom!
The Domain itself seemed to shake for a moment, as if an aura co-extensive with the Domain had collapsed.
An Immortal Realm being had fallen!
The Immortal Realm members of the Wan Family, rushing to the scene, suddenly stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with shock and even fear.
The Nine Mountain Realm had been in chaos up to now, and through all the battles, no Immortal Realm being had fallen.
Yet today, an Immortal Heavenly Venerable had fallen, and at Dahai Mountain no less.
More terrifying was that they had only sensed the aura of one Immortal Heavenly Venerable, and it was precisely the aura of the one who had fallen!
Who killed him?
With no other Immortal Heavenly Venerable present, how did this one die?
Slaughtered by a True King Heavenly Venerable?
What a joke, even if all of the Wan Family's True King Heavenly Venerables joined forces, they wouldn't be enough to kill an Immortal Heavenly Venerable!
"What has happened?"
At that moment, this Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Wan Family backed off, fearing he too would die if he went.
It was too terrifying!
An Immortal Heavenly Venerable, to have fallen like this!
After a brief hesitation, he turned and returned to the Wan Family's territory. This risk was not worth taking!
Xuezhi Mo, who was hurrying to the battlefield, suddenly halted, his face a picture of shock. The Immortal Heavenly Venerable was dead?
Who had killed him?
Xu Yan and Meng Chong?
Impossible!
No matter how strong Xu Yan and Meng Chong were, they were ultimately not Immortal Heavenly Venerables. If the two of them together could kill an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, they wouldn't have been hunted by him everywhere.
"Who killed him? There was only the aura of one Immortal Heavenly Venerable, which means it wasn't a battle between two Immortal Heavenly Venerables, so it's absolutely impossible for Xu Yan and Meng Chong!"
Xuezhi Mo pondered.
For a moment, he hesitated, wondering whether to go and find out for himself.
"Hmm, is that the Immortal Realm of the Wan Family?"
Suddenly, he noticed the retreating Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Wan Family, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be that the Wan Family used some mysterious trump card to strike and kill the opponent?"
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Wan Family was returning to their territory, heading from the site of the battle.
After all, the Wan Family was an ancient family of the Nine Mountains' Dahai Mountain, with a long heritage; naturally, they had some depth. If by chance they had come across a special Supreme Treasure, it wouldn't be impossible for them to catch the Immortal Realm being off-guard and slay him!
But why had he only sensed the aura of a single Immortal Heavenly Venerable?
He suddenly thought of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow that seemed to possess items that could block the aura of Immortal Heavenly Venerables. Could the Wan Family also have such treasures?
```
If that's the case, everything makes sense now.
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Wan Family noticed Xuezhi Mo, paused for a moment, and felt a sudden shock in his heart. Could it be a powerful figure from the Netherworld who had ambushed and killed that Immortal Heavenly Venerable?
After a brief hesitation, he didn't attack Xuezhi Mo but instead hastened back to the Wan Family's territory even faster.
Seeing this, Xuezhi Mo felt even more convinced that his suspicions were correct; the elder of the Wan Family must have also paid a hefty price, which was why he dared not make a move against him and was even worried about him retaliating.
"The Wan Family wants to warn the other Immortal Heavenly Venerables that anyone lurking around Dahai Mountain with ill intentions will be mercilessly slain!"
Xuezhi Mo understood in his heart.
He had simply been overthinking earlier; how could Xu Yan and Meng Chong possibly kill an Immortal Heavenly Venerable!
He moved swiftly, continuing towards the fall site of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, but he was extremely cautious along the way, slowing down his pace for fear of being ambushed by the Wan Family.
Meanwhile, at the site of the great battle, an Immortal Heavenly Venerable was reduced to ashes under the combined force of Brother Xu Yan and the two others.
The two distant elders of the Wan Family, as well as the seven Blood Disciples, were now shaken to their core, their liver and guts trembling, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
An Immortal Heavenly Venerable had fallen!
What's more terrifying was that this Immortal Heavenly Venerable had not perished at the hands of another Immortal Heavenly Venerable but had been killed in a cross-boundary counterattack!
This was something unheard of.
"What kind of monster is this!"
The two Wan Family elders were trembling, thinking Wan Tianlin of the Wan Family, who was already an extraordinary genius, was nothing compared to these three; he was simply trash!
The gap between geniuses was so huge.
"There are seven more Blood Disciples!"
Xu Yan's eyes were cold as he looked over.
"Kill!"
Meng Chong roared, bursting with momentum as he charged forward in an instant.
The seven Blood Disciples, who had already lost their will to fight, turned to flee, but how could they possibly escape!
In just a few moments, they were all exterminated.
"Thank you both for your assistance; otherwise, there would have been no chance to slay this Immortal Heavenly Venerable!"
Xu Yan said with hands clasped together.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it, we hardly helped at all!"
The two Wan Family elders quickly shook their heads with wry smiles on their faces.
After exchanging a few words, the Wan Family elders took their leave.
The incident was too frightening; they must report back to the Immortal Heavenly Venerable of their family as quickly as possible, and the death of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable at Dahai Mountain would certainly shock the Nine Mountain Realm.
The two couldn't remember how many long years it had been since an Immortal Heavenly Venerable had fallen.
They vaguely remembered that the last fall of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable occurred during the great chaos in the Heavenly Grotto when enemies from beyond invaded, and it was in a fierce battle that an Immortal Heavenly Venerable fell defending against the foreign enemies.
Xu Yan and his companions were now exhilarated, as countering an Immortal Heavenly Venerable was an unprecedented feat.
Jiang Buping was no exception; as a person from the Divine Realm and once a genius of a great clan, he knew what this meant even more.
"Now, it's time to kill Xuezhi Mo!"
Xu Yan said with a cold gaze.
"Xuezhi Mo's strength is nearly on par with that Immortal Heavenly Venerable; a direct confrontation might allow him to escape," Meng Chong said with a frown.
"He must be rushing here now, which gives us an opportunity. Both of you juniors should get ready," Xu Yan said with a chuckle, soon coming up with a plan to ambush Xuezhi Mo.
After that, the three of them quickly left to find a suitable location for the ambush not far away, with Meng Chong and Jiang Buping hiding according to plan.
Xu Yan, however, returned to the site of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable's fall, pretending to come over to investigate, and he wouldn't miss the chance once he encountered Xuezhi Mo.
Facing Xuezhi Mo, Xu Yan would surely have to flee, and in doing so, Xuezhi Mo would follow him to the site of the ambush, which couldn't be more perfect.
A simple plan, but would Xuezhi Mo take the bait? It depended on the news of the three countering an Immortal Heavenly Venerable being not yet spread out. Having encountered Xu Yan, why wouldn't Xuezhi Mo chase after him?
"It's right here!"
Xuezhi Mo approached the site of the great battle with extreme caution, and suddenly his expression became tense as he caught sight of a figure also cautiously probing forward.
Xu Yan!
Seeing Xu Yan acting in such a way, he must have detected the great battle here and come to investigate.
An excellent opportunity!
Xuezhi Mo's eyes lit up; this was a rare chance!
All of Xu Yan's attention was on the site of the battle ahead, unaware of his presence; there couldn't be a better time to attack!
