389: See the origin treasure again

"Annihilated in both body and soul?"

Xiao Zhuo's lips curled into a cold arc. His figure flickered like an illusion, instantly rising to a height level with the overwhelming, ferocious heads, looking down at the churning, dark blue waves beneath Xue Tian.

"With just you?"

Before his words finished, he suddenly raised his right arm, his five fingers clenching fiercely in the Void Realm!

"Om—!"

A clang, as if from ancient times, tore through space. The origin divine weapon—jade blood saber—suddenly appeared!

The saber's body was ancient, yet it glowed with a dark golden divine light that made hearts palpitate. Its mere presence caused the surrounding Void Realm to subtly tremble.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Zhuo flicked his wrist, and the jade blood saber's light swept out horizontally!

"Boom—!!!"

In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color!

Billions of dark golden Divine Thunder were pulled by an invisible, mighty force, instantly collapsing and converging onto the blade!

A dark golden light blade, spanning tens of thousands of feet, composed purely of destructive Divine Thunder, swept out fiercely to the side, like a divine punishment saber that split heaven and earth, carrying a terrifying might that crushed everything!

"Roar—!!!"

The billions of dark blue giant heads seemed to sense a fatal threat, letting out roars that shattered star rivers!

Layers upon layers of visible, distorted sound waves exploded from the mouth of each head, instantly superimposing and fusing to construct an incredibly thick, dark blue sound barrier, capable of distorting space-time, in the path of the dark golden light pillar!

Boom—!!!

The light pillar and the sound barrier collided head-on!

Piercing tearing sounds and muffled explosions detonated simultaneously!

Space shattered inch by inch like fragile glazed glass!

In the reflection of Xue Tian's suddenly constricted pupils, the sound barrier, which contained the mighty power of billions of giant heads, was penetrated by the dark golden light blade as easily as butter by a hot knife!

Chi chi chi—!

The light blade did not stop. Its trajectory changed as eerily as a venomous Dragon, sweeping past hundreds of the foremost giant heads!

Silently!

Those dark blue heads, as massive as mountains and exuding monstrous ferocity, didn't even have time to struggle before they instantly vaporized and evaporated into nothingness under the absolute destruction of the dark golden Divine Thunder!

However, the destructive light blade's target was not them!

It drew a fatal arc in the Void Realm, like a maggot on bone, locking onto a "small thing" that was frantically fleeing under the cover of billions of heads—

A head only the size of a normal person's head, identical in appearance to the surrounding Clones, yet unable to hide from the Divine Eye of Illusion Breaking!

"How is this possible?! You couldn't possibly have discovered my true body!!" A roar, filled with fury, alarm, and endless overlapping echoes, vibrated through the Void Realm, full of unbelievable terror.

Xiao Zhuo stood suspended in the Void Realm, his black hair wildly dancing, his eyes like ten thousand years of cold ice. The mocking arc on his lips deepened.

"Billions of heads are all illusions. Only you conceal the aura of the Origin!" His voice was not loud, yet it clearly penetrated the chaotic energy storm, carrying the indifference of one who controlled everything, "Coincidentally, my saber can penetrate the Origin; my eye can see through illusions!"

"Now," his Divine Thought moved slightly, and the ten-thousand-foot dark golden light blade suddenly accelerated, its brightness skyrocketing several times, like the ultimate judgment of a soul-reaping scythe, "who is it that should be annihilated in both body and soul?!"

The moment his words fell, the light blade swept past the desperately fleeing head.

"Chi—!"

A soft sound, like a candle flame extinguishing.

The head, which concealed the will of the Source Master's Split Soul, instantly turned into a wisp of insignificant green smoke and completely dissipated.

With the annihilation of the core, the billions of dark blue heads that surrounded Xiao Zhuo and Xue Tian, obscuring the sky, scattered and dissolved silently, like popped soap bubbles.

Only the sky full of uncontrolled Taboo Power remained, slowly falling like ink-colored stardust.

And at the place where the head was annihilated, a pigeon-egg-sized crystal, entirely suffused with a deep, dark blue glow, quietly floated in the Void Realm, exuding an ancient and Origin aura.

Xiao Zhuo raised his hand and made a grabbing motion.

The crystal transformed into a streak of light and steadily landed in his palm.

"origin supreme treasure!" Xue Tian's crimson eyes were fixed on the crystal as he muttered four words, a rumble in his throat.

Xiao Zhuo's fingertips caressed the crystal's cool surface, feeling the vast and peculiar power it contained, and he understood.

Xue Tian's reaction confirmed his judgment.

The energy fluctuations of this crystal indeed bore similarities to his waning moon pendant, but it seemed even more... powerful.

"That fellow relied on this object to control this vast Taboo Power?" Silver light surged in Xiao Zhuo's eyes. The Divine Eye of Illusion Breaking operated at full capacity, his gaze penetrating the crystal's surface to directly perceive its core mysteries.

The next moment, his gaze suddenly narrowed, and he murmured, "Innate Divine Runes?!"

At the core of the crystal's interior, there were eight profound and unfathomable strange patterns, not artificially inscribed, but naturally nurtured by heaven and earth!

They slowly circulated within the crystal's core like living beings, exuding a profound aura!

This perfectly matched what was recorded in an ancient book Xiao Zhuo had once seen!

There was a certain probability for Innate Divine Runes to be born within origin supreme treasures, and each Divine Rune was a Divine Ability of heaven and earth.

Xiao Zhuo's heart stirred, and a wisp of condensed Divine Soul Power, without hesitation, probed into the crystal.

Seeing this, Xue Tian's blood-red eyes flickered violently. His withered fingers subconsciously flexed, and the terrifying power dormant within him seemed to stir slightly.

But he ultimately restrained himself, only staring fixedly at Xiao Zhuo, his gaze complex and difficult to decipher.

His Divine Soul entered the crystal's interior, as if he had entered a strange Universe where light and darkness intertwined.

The eight Divine Runes revolved slowly around the core like planetary orbits.

Xiao Zhuo's Divine Soul body reached out and easily captured a wisp of strange black Qi, which was struggling fiercely and trying to hide, from the pervasive aura of light and dark Origin.

"Your Excellency," Xiao Zhuo's Divine Soul body emitted a cold thought-voice, carrying the mockery of one who saw through everything, "Do you truly believe a wisp of Split Soul can escape my perception?"

"Alien ant! Desecrating my clan's supreme treasure, you shall surely perish in this realm, your Divine Soul suffering eternal torment!!" An ancient thought, full of venom and panic, shrieked from within the black Qi.

Xiao Zhuo's Divine Soul body showed no expression, merely clenching his five fingers tightly!

"Pfft!"

Like crushing an insignificant insect, that wisp of the "Source Master's" Split Soul was completely annihilated under Xiao Zhuo's powerful Soul Power before it could even let out a scream.

Immediately after, Xiao Zhuo quickly formed hand seals. In an instant, ninety-nine profound imprints, condensed from pure Soul Power, were struck out. Like stellar brands, they precisely landed on the key nodes both inside and outside the crystal.

Each imprint contained a trace of his tenacious Divine Soul brand, like the strongest chains.

Now that his Divine Soul had reached the Middle Stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, imprinting such a origin supreme treasure with a Split Soul, although consuming a significant amount, was not an unbearable burden.

This treasure contained the power of light and dark Origin. Although it was not the Dao he primarily cultivated, its immense power was enough to become a powerful trump card in his hands.

What's more, the value of those eight Innate Divine Runes was immeasurable!

Just as Xiao Zhuo's Divine Soul Clone sank into the crystal's core and began to comprehend the profound Divine Runes—

A sudden change occurred!

Outside, the sky full of Taboo Power, which had been slowly drifting like ownerless dust, suddenly boiled and rotated violently, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand!

They were drawn by the Divine Runes within the crystal and began to converge frantically!
