255: Chapter 255: One blade, one sword, together they slay Mount Tuoyue!

It must be known that among the classifications of weapons by Qi Practitioners, Divine Merit Artifacts hold the highest status!

Adding up the four worlds, the number of Divine Merit Artifacts likely does not exceed the count of two hands.

Whether it be Magic Treasures containing the Laws of heaven and earth and the Great Dao, or Immortal Artifacts that often need to be placed within Blessed Lands, or even the talisman seals beneath Yang Simu's feet, their value cannot be compared to a single Divine Merit Artifact!

As for Spirit Weapons that can nourish their masters at the cost of destroying their Foundations, or the "hair-splittingly sharp" Heavy Weapons in the eyes of mundane Cultivators, there is even less to be said.

Furthermore, every Divine Merit Artifact in the world is either kept within the Middle Earth Confucian Temple of the Haoran World, or the White Jade Capital of the Haoran World, or other such factions with extremely deep strength and heritage.

Even the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain, having searched nearly every corner of the Wilderness World for ten thousand years, has failed to find a single Divine Merit Artifact.

Divine Merit Artifacts are unlike Magic Treasures or Immortal Artifacts; the latter can be man-made or refined.

However, Divine Merit Artifacts are formed through the evolution of creation and Karma, and they harbor divine spirits within them!

Compared to the three worlds of Haoran, Lotus, and Qingming, the Wilderness World is indeed severely lacking in certain aspects.

The Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi like to call the Yao Race of the Wilderness World "beasts," and it is not without reason.

In the current Wilderness World, strength is respected above all else in almost every place, and living like savages is all too common.

In such a world, how much Karma can there be for the Great Dao Laws of heaven and earth?

This also why the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain supported Wenhai in creating a script for the Wilderness World to educate the Yao Race.

However, judging from the results, the effect was minimal.

After all, it is no easy feat for most of the Yao Race to develop intelligence.

At this moment, the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain watched helplessly as a Cultivator who was merely at the Nascent Soul Stage controlled a Divine Merit Artifact that he himself had sought in vain for ten thousand years!

Moreover, the two strands of pure divinity he had detained, belonging to The Executioner and The Dreamer, were being forcibly stripped from his body just like that.

No matter what methods the grey-robed old man employed, he could not change what was happening.

This was the power of a Divine Merit Artifact!

Yang Simu even had a faint intuition in his heart that the Divine Merit Artifact in his hand should be the most powerful one in the world.

In fact, almost all the Divine Merit Artifacts remaining in the world today were left behind by the Old Heavenly Court from ten thousand years ago.

Divine Merit Artifacts truly born within these ten thousand years likely do not exceed three.

After all, the birth of a Divine Merit Artifact often consumes the vast Luck of that world; for one to be nurtured in ten thousand years is already quite difficult.

Suddenly, the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain thought of something, and his expression changed once again.

He abruptly turned his head.

However, at that very moment, The Dreamer nearby acted without hesitation and began to play her flute.

In an instant, all the Wilderness Yao Race in mid-air were affected.

Some Yao Race in the Immortal Realm with insufficiently resilient Dao Hearts even spat blood on the spot and were forced to reveal their true forms, their massive bodies falling toward Tuoyue Mountain.

The swordsman Fei Ran also let out a muffled groan, his face turning pale.

Although Li Zhen was only at the Jade Purity Realm now, he possessed the Sword Heart of the Sword Immortal Guan Zhao, so his situation was better than most of the Immortal Realm Yao Race.

He instantly transformed into a white sword light and fled rapidly into the distance.

The Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain hovered in mid-air, the golden light in his eyes flickering on and off as his expression gradually turned hideous.

Wenhai and Liu Cha were also affected to some extent, but since The Dreamer's primary attack was focused on the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain alone, the two of them quickly broke free from the dreamscape.

The Bearded Ranger let out a cold snort and instantly slashed a sword toward The Dreamer!

One sword strike arrived, and ten thousand swords flew!

In an instant, the area within a hundred feet of The Dreamer turned into a massive cage of Sword Qi.

At the same time, Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature flipped through the book in his hand once more, and golden Wilderness characters flew out one by one, about to suppress The Dreamer.

Seeing this, The Dreamer did not want to fight head-on and prepared to retreat.

But at that very moment, a mass of pure and majestic divinity merged into her delicate body through her chest.

It was Yang Simu who manipulated the Divine Merit Artifact in his hand to control this mass of divinity that originally belonged to The Dreamer, sending it flying into her body.

The Dreamer's body couldn't help but tremble, and a slight flush appeared on her cheeks, as if she were tipsy.

This was because she had suddenly accepted too much divinity.

In an instant, two even more dazzling golden beams erupted from The Dreamer's eyes!

The flute music she played soared even higher into the clouds, rippling across the heart lake of every Cultivator.

However, for some it was gentle ripples, while for others it was stormy waves!

In an instant, the many Immortal Realm Yao Race who had already fled ten thousand meters away all spat out blood.

Wenhai and Liu Cha also had to exert all their effort to resist, losing the opportunity to attack.

However, the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain, who had been trapped in the dreamscape, suddenly woke up.

A golden longsword instantly appeared in his hand, and he slashed it toward The Dreamer!

The grey-robed old man sneered, "As early as the moment I decided to keep you at Tuoyue Mountain, I severed my own dreams."

"You still attempt to kill me within a dream? Truly wishful thinking!"

This sudden turn of events startled not only Yang Simu and the others, but even The Dreamer herself.

In an instant, the longsword in the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain's hand pierced through The Dreamer's chest, and golden blood flowed down.

However, The Dreamer's body soon dissipated on the spot and reappeared ten thousand meters away.

But the divinity that had just been abundant within her suddenly weakened, and her face turned slightly pale.

The current Dreamer, although she had regained her divinity, lacked the empowerment of a Heavenly Court divine position, so her strength was only at the Peak of the Ascension Realm.

The Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain was about to pursue the heavily injured Dreamer, but at that moment, two ten-thousand-meter-tall golden-bodied deities stepped out from the River of Time.

Yang Simu immediately manipulated the Divine Merit Artifact to send the other mass of pure divinity snatched from the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain toward The Executioner.

In the blink of an eye, The Executioner's Physical Body returned to normal, and the giant blade in his hand erupted with blinding golden light!

"Battle!"

"Battle!"

The Executioner and The Resonator roared simultaneously, as a sword and a blade slashed toward Tuoyue Mountain at the same time!

The Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain's expression changed slightly; unable to pursue The Dreamer, he hastily propped up the Mountain-Protecting Array to guard Tuoyue Mountain.

With The Dreamer retreating, Wenhai and Liu Cha were naturally freed, and they hurriedly joined forces to block the blade and sword strikes from the two ancient deities.

The Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain shouted angrily, "Where are those useless trash like Bai Ying and Yao Jia? Why haven't they arrived yet?!"

Hearing this, Wenhai replied with an extremely solemn expression, "I just calculated that all fourteen Golden Body Puppets from the Hundred Thousand Mountains have been deployed, along with that old dog, the Tender Daoist!"

"This matter, I'm afraid, will not end easily!"
