959: Chapter 960 What kind of heaven-defying methods?!

Black light suddenly exploded from his hand!

A two-handed cleaver, its design wild to the extreme as if forged from the most primitive intent to slaughter, appeared out of thin air!

The blade's body was pitch-black, its back as thick as a door plank, but the most terrifying part was the edge—

It was not a smooth, sharp blade, but was instead filled with countless dark-red, fang-like serrated notches!

Every notch radiated a blood-colored Evil Qi so dense it felt physical, along with a sharpness that tore through space!

The hilt was wrapped in the thick tendons of an unknown creature, and a ferocious aura born purely for slaughter soared into the sky!

The xuanhuang dao artifact—Heaven Breaker Blade!

"Die for me!" Sha Wuji's face twisted into a savage grin!

The destructive Demonic Essence he had accumulated to its Peak, originally intended for the Sixth Kill, was poured without reservation into this malevolent weapon!

There were no fancy techniques, no profound Law changes! There was only the most primitive, most overbearing, and most direct—slash!

A thousand-zhang blade astral, condensed to the point of turning black yet burning with viscous blood-flames, tore through the sky!

Wherever the blade astral passed, space was split in two like fragile cloth!

It left behind a Void Realm crack burning with destructive demonic flames that refused to heal for a long time!

The power of this strike was not the slightest bit weaker than the Sixth Kill he had feigned! Pure power, the ultimate slaughter!

This was the perfect combination of Sha Wuji's lifelong cultivation and the malevolent weapon's nature!

And at the exact same moment that this terrifying blade astral, capable of splitting mountains and seas, was slashed out!

In the distorted shadows less than a hundred zhang from Yao Delong's side!

"Now! Red Lotus... Karmic Fire, burn!" Zhu Wuneng's short, stout figure emerged like a ghost!

There wasn't a hint of a smile on his fat face now, only an almost sacred maliciousness!

He tightly gripped a bone fan that radiated an ancient, eerie aura!

The fan's ribs were as black as ink, seemingly carved from ten-thousand-year-old yin wood, and the fan's surface...

Was shockingly a Life-ledger flowing with countless tiny blood-colored characters, writhing like a living thing!

He bit his tongue and sprayed a drop of natal essence blood, radiating a rich Soul aura, onto the bone fan's Life-ledger!

Whoosh—!

Karmic Fire! The formless and substanceless Red Lotus Karmic Fire that could make any Soul tremble!

Using that drop of essence blood as a guide, it ignored the barriers of space and physical defenses,

Acting like the most vicious curse, it directly locked onto Yao Delong's life Origin!

It did not burn the Physical Body, but instead ignited the Karma and Karmic Obstructions one had accumulated throughout their life!

As long as one had killed, deceived, or broken an oath... even if there was only a tiny shred of "evil cause,"

It would be enough to trigger this flame of judgment from Hell, burning from the deepest part of the Divine Soul! It would never extinguish until the karmic debt was paid!

"Not good!" Atop the Blood Sea City walls, Qiong Shuang turned pale with fright!

"Shameless!!" Old Black Mu was so angry he was jumping in rage!

"How dare you, thief!" Mo Wentian's hair and beard flared out as his thin, withered figure turned into a streak of black smoke, soaring into the sky to attempt a rescue!

But it was all too late!

Before him was the destructive blade astral that could split the heavens!

To his side was the formless Karmic Fire that could burn the Soul!

The two Body Integration Stage Devil Heads had coordinated their lethal strikes to the point of perfection and extreme ruthlessness! In an instant, they had forced Yao Delong into a desperate situation!

Facing this lethal pincer attack that would make any Body Integration Late Stage Cultivator's scalp tingle,

Yao Delong's eyes suddenly erupted with an unprecedented... light of excitement!

"Finally... are you going to get serious?" A low murmur sounded, audible only to himself.

Buzz—!

A spatial tremor resonated as if coming from the ancient primordial era!

A pair of unimaginably massive silver-white light wings, flowing with the radiance of a galaxy, suddenly unfolded behind Yao Delong without any warning!

Upon the light wings, countless profound spatial runes circulated, appearing and disappearing as if carrying the dimensional secrets of the myriad worlds!

The moment the light wings unfurled, the space around Yao Delong instantly became layered and infinitely folded like a kaleidoscope!

That terrifying thousand-zhang blade astral, capable of tearing space and severing Laws, crashed headlong into this labyrinth of distorted and folded space!

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!...

It was like a red-hot iron piercing through ten-thousand-year-old profound ice!

Every time the blade astral tore through a layer of folded space, the destructive Demonic Energy and sharp will it contained were forcibly dispersed and worn down by a fraction!

After the ten-thousand-zhang blade radiance crossed through an unknown number of spatial folds, by the time it truly made contact with Yao Delong's body...

That power, which could have split a giant mountain, had shockingly been reduced to less than thirty percent!

And at that moment!

The taixu primordial spirit crown atop Yao Delong's head once again shone with great brilliance!

A protective immortal light, clear as water yet as heavy as the earth's membrane, suddenly descended, enveloping his entire person!

Bang!

The remaining thirty percent of the destructive blade astral slammed heavily against the immortal light barrier!

There was no world-shaking explosion!

There was no impact from turbulent energy flows!

That bit of power was like a weary moth hitting an immortal divine mountain,

Merely causing a ripple on the surface of the immortal light so faint it was almost negligible... before completely dissipating!

Puff!

On the other side, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that Zhu Wuneng had triggered at the cost of his natal essence blood successfully bypassed the spatial folding of the taiyu flowing light wings,

And it also penetrated the protective immortal light of the taixu primordial spirit crown!

Like a maggot on a bone, it acted directly upon Yao Delong's life Origin and Karma!

"It worked!" A malicious light of wild joy erupted from Zhu Wuneng's eyes!

He seemed to already see the scene of the opponent wailing in pain within the Karmic Fire, his Divine Soul burned to ashes!

However...

At the very instant that the formless and substanceless Red Lotus Karmic Fire attempted to ignite the "evil cause" deep within Yao Delong's life Origin and trigger his "karmic debt"!

Deep within Yao Delong's Sea of Consciousness!

That phantom of the Heart Sword, forged from pure will and indestructible through ten thousand tribulations, suddenly erupted with ten thousand zhang of radiance!

Zheng—!!!

A clear sword chime, seemingly capable of cleansing the Three Realms and severing the cycle of Reincarnation, resounded within Yao Delong's life Origin!

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire, which had just ignited a spark and was trying to spread, was struck down by this supreme Heart Sword will...

Like the most fragile bubble under the sun!

Puff!

A soft sound!

It was completely annihilated!

Not even a wisp of blue smoke emerged!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The savage grin on Sha Wuji's face froze, veins popped on the hand holding the Heaven Breaker Blade, and the madness in his eyes was replaced by a sense of immense absurdity and disbelief.

The wild joy in Zhu Wuneng's small eyes instantly froze, his fat face looking as if it had been struck by the hardest of slaps,

Turning deathly pale as his body involuntarily swayed.

Mo Wentian, who had just rushed into mid-air, abruptly halted his figure, freezing in the sky like a statue.

Qiong Shuang, Old Black Mu, the Nine Nether Sect Disciples, the demonic Cultivators of the Sun Moon Divine Cult... everyone who witnessed this scene felt their minds go blank!

Two Body Integration Stage Devil Heads had used xuanhuang dao artifacts and unleashed their trump card lethal sneak attacks... and the result?

The terrifying strike that shattered space?

Most of it was blocked by a spatial barrier that automatically unfolded from the man's body, and the final bit of remaining power didn't even shake his protective immortal light?

The formless Karmic Fire that ignited the Soul Origin? It was extinguished by him... with a single thought?!

This... what kind of god-like defense is this?! What kind of Heaven-Defying means?!

"Creation... Dao Artifact... and more than one..."

Zhu Wuneng spoke as if in a dream, his voice dry and trembling, filled with extreme terror,

"That wing... that crown... and... that eerie Heart Sword... is..."
