775: Chapter 774 The Five Elements Tree is Destroyed!

However, very quickly, the phantom of Venerable Purple Thunder provided an explanation.

A trace of deep hatred flashed through his aged eyes, which were formed by condensed purple electric arcs.

"Back then, that heaven-shaking battle between this old man and Venerable Destruction ultimately resulted in both of us perishing here.

Therefore, there is an irreconcilable blood feud between this old man and him—even if the body dies and the Dao dissipates, this grudge will not vanish.

This old man wants Venerable Destruction's Legacy to have no successors, to let his life's work rot completely in these ruins, never to see the light of day again."

Speaking up to this point, the face of Venerable Purple Thunder's phantom twisted slightly.

"In the decades since we both fell, although this old man has only a wisp of residual will trapped here, I am not without perception of everything in the outside world.

During these long years, this old man could clearly perceive that the Legacy of that wretch, Venerable Destruction, has never been obtained by anyone—let alone obtaining the Legacy, there hasn't even been a Martial Artist capable of breaking into the Core Area of his destruction aura.

This old man felt quite gratified, thinking that wretch's Legacy would sooner or later completely dissipate with the passage of time."

"However, just in these past few days, there has been a change."

"Unexpectedly, there is a person who, not knowing what means were used, obtained the recognition of that wretch, Venerable Destruction, and broke into the deepest part of his Legacy site. This is something this old man absolutely cannot tolerate."

First Prince Jun Wentian felt a vague sense of foreboding in his heart upon hearing this.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"So, Senior, what do you mean?"

"Kill the Martial Artist who entered Venerable Destruction's Legacy site, and you will be able to accept my Legacy." The phantom of Venerable Purple Thunder said straightforwardly, his voice filled with killing intent.

His gaze fixed directly on First Prince Jun Wentian, his eyes full of anticipation.

First Prince Jun Wentian's heart sank immediately, and his expression became ugly.

He knew that the person who entered Venerable Destruction's Legacy site was Qin Yan.

Let him go and kill Qin Yan?

Qin Yan was an elite Inner Court Disciple of Taixuan Holy Land, and according to intelligence, this youth was by no means an ordinary Inner Court Disciple—he ranked at the top of the individual contribution ranking among this batch of Disciples in Taixuan Holy Land, and had once defeated an opponent possessing Supreme-grade Spear Intent head-on during a duel with a Prodigy from Diluo Valley; he was one of the most eye-catching Heavenly Ladder Clearers in the East Courtyard of Taixuan Holy Land.

If such a Core Disciple were killed on the territory of the Guhen Kingdom, given Taixuan Holy Land's usual style of protecting their own, they would definitely dispatch experts to come and investigate thoroughly.

Once the matter was exposed, even his Imperial Father might not be able to protect him.

First Prince Jun Wentian was momentarily caught in a dilemma, his thoughts in turmoil.

He both wanted the Legacy of Venerable Purple Thunder and did not want to offend Taixuan Holy Land.

Between the two, it was difficult to make a choice.

Just then, the phantom of Venerable Purple Thunder spoke again, his voice carrying a hint of irresistible temptation: "Junior, you must consider this clearly. My Legacy not only contains all the various Dao of Thunder Cultivation Techniques I practiced throughout my life, but more importantly—it also contains three-thousandths of the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder.

You should know what three-thousandths of the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder means."

Three-thousandths of the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder.

These few words exploded in First Prince Jun Wentian's mind like a clap of thunder, and those majestic eyes lit up instantly.

Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder—that was an existence even more precious than Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills of the Dao of Thunder.

With the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder, his understanding of the Dao of Thunder would be deeper, and his speed of Cultivation would be faster.

Three-thousandths of the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder was enough to raise his talent by a grade.

This Opportunity was truly too heavy, heavy enough to make any Martial Artist take risks for it.

In the end, First Prince Jun Wentian took a deep breath, and all hesitation and conflict in those majestic eyes dissipated, replaced by a touch of decisiveness and coldness.

He said in a deep voice: "Senior, I agree to your terms—I will kill the Martial Artist who entered Venerable Destruction's Legacy site."

For the Legacy, for the Profound Truth, for strength—he was willing to take this risk.

"Hahaha, good!" The phantom of Venerable Purple Thunder laughed up at the sky, his laughter filled with gratification and killing intent.

Immediately, that phantom suddenly shrank, transforming into a brilliant bolt of purple lightning, rushing towards First Prince Jun Wentian.

The purple light traced an arc in the Void Realm, moving with astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it merged into First Prince Jun Wentian's glabella.

First Prince Jun Wentian immediately felt streams of Legacy information pouring into his mind, like a tide, one wave after another.

That information was about Venerable Purple Thunder's Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, insights, and experience—vast as the sea, countless in number.

In his mind, purple lightning symbols flashed continuously, imprinting those pieces of information one by one deep into his consciousness.

At the same time, streaks of thunder runes appeared all around First Prince Jun Wentian, purple lightning runes emerging on the surface of his body, dense and layered.

Those runes emitted a dazzling purple light, like countless purple spirit snakes winding and moving across his body.

This was the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder! Three-thousandths of the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder was being stripped from the Legacy symbols and injected into First Prince Jun Wentian's body.

The purple light grew brighter, the runes became more numerous, and the Profound Truth became denser.

Immediately, this Profound Truth went straight into First Prince Jun Wentian's body!

The purple specks of light were like countless tiny stars, melting into his skin, his muscles, his bones, and his Meridians.

His body, under the nourishment of the Profound Truth of the Dao of Thunder, underwent subtle changes.

...

Meanwhile, inside Venerable Destruction's Legacy site, the battle had entered its most critical moment.

High in the air, that huge Destruction Battle Blade had now firmly suppressed the two phantoms of the Five Elements Wonderful Tree and the Dark Altar, and the destruction aura emitted from the blade had grown to a terrifying level that Qin Yan could not comprehend at all.

Seeing the Destruction Battle Blade give a slight shake, a streak of destruction Saber Qi slashed out!

That Saber Qi was only a few zhang long, yet it contained extremely terrifying power.

The Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal applied by the Five Elements Wonderful Tree was immediately broken.

The five-colored Seal, under the impact of the destruction Saber Qi, shattered instantly, turning into specks of light that filled the sky, drifting into the Void Realm.

Immediately, the destruction Saber Qi slashed towards the Five Elements Wonderful Tree without diminishing in momentum!

The Five Elements Wonderful Tree constructed a Five Elements barrier in front of it.

The five-colored lights intertwined, with the five colors of gold, green, blue, red, and yellow layered upon each other, forming a solid defensive line.

But it was useless!

"Boom—!!!"

Wherever the destruction Saber Qi passed, the Five Elements barrier shattered on the spot. The five-colored light shattered, the power of the Five Elements collapsed, and the barrier turned into specks of light filling the sky.

The destruction Saber Qi went straight into the body of the Five Elements Wonderful Tree, the black Saber Qi and the five-colored light intertwining, erupting with blinding light.

There was another loud noise.

Seeing the ten-zhang tall giant tree, a crack appeared starting from the trunk, and immediately cracks spread all around, dense like a spider web.

Branches broke, leaves fell, and the five-colored light dimmed.

The entire Wonderful Tree, under the impact of the destruction Saber Qi, shattered with a boom, turning into countless five-colored specks of light, drifting into the Void Realm.

The Five Elements Wonderful Tree—was broken.
