Chapter 3354: Chapter 1676: The Original Unsealing of the Sacred Mountain Breaks, an Iron Arrow Suppresses Immortality_3
“Step back.”
Ai Cangsheng’s expression was icy, his movents slightly paused, yet the lingering essence of his hand seal did not dissipate.
He continued to gaze into the distance at the Western Region, surveying the last wave of arrow rain suppressing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, paying no heed to the actions of the Elental Divine Envoy.
There was only one word of counsel.
The temperant of Ai Cangsheng required no intelligence reports from figures like Li Fugui—for at this mont, the people of the five regions all knew:
Once the arrow is nocked, it must be released!
“Ai Cangsheng!”
Zhong Yuanzi shouted, his booming voice trembling as his outspread hands and ten fingers began to quiver. “Listen to —there’s no need for this! You’ve succumbed to the influence of the Blood World Pearl!”
But the man confined to his wheelchair remained unmoved. After completing the final step of the hand seal, he murmured softly:
“Technique·Technique Seed Restriction·First Rank Unsealing.”
…
“Get down!”
Like a true Defender, Zhong Yuanzi, who monts earlier had spread his arms wide to shield the Five Decays of Heaven and Man from afar,
activated the Space Great Path Map at Ai Cangsheng’s command, instantly relocating all living beings from the Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe to the skies thousands of miles away.
“Huh?”
Feng Zhongzui was also teleported. Confused, he found himself sprawling in midair. Whatever the big shots said, the small fry like him would do—there was no harm in following their lead.
But after obediently lying down, he noticed all the demi-saints were doing the sa, even the usually elegant and composed Ninth Divine Priest was no exception.
He had just started to chuckle, hoping to analyze the battlefield or joke around, saying sothing like, “Isn’t this an overreaction?”…
“Boom!”
In the zone of Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe locked by the Dao Imparting Mirror, centered on Ai Cangsheng’s wheelchair, a massive black hole with a hundred-mile radius suddenly erupted.
A portion of the sacred mountain—already fractured by the previous Broken Wing Arrow used to shatter the Ultimate Giant—was obliterated. But that was just the mountain’s edge and barely mattered.
This ti, the entirety of Saint Hall, the Land of Screen and Candles, and even the renowned landmarks in the central plaza atop the sacred mountain…
everything was swallowed by the black hole!
Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe lost more than half of its landmarks in an instant.
All this, and the hundred-mile radius was just the imdiate aftermath—as that terrifying aura surged outward, space thousands, even tens of thousands of miles away…
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
…collapsed completely.
All Dao techniques touched by the ripples of that power beca montarily visible before shattering instantly—almost as if the Shengshen Continent itself could not endure such a force.
“What on earth is this?!”
The Dao Imparting Mirror once again showed distorted images.
Feng Zhongzui pressed his head down forcefully, feeling like the corners of his eyes were tearing and bleeding.
He struggled to lift the mirror, his skin splitting under the pressure of the shockwaves, but he persisted stubbornly.
In this way, he tried to glimpse the scenery at the heart of the black hole!
“Lord Cang Sheng… has changed.”
Accompanied by a dazed mutter, shadows of the five regions seed faintly visible.
Sitting alone in the center of the black hole, Ai Cangsheng’s expression remained cold and impassive. However, black and red sealing runes swirled around him.
The runes slithered like serpents, wrapping him in three overlapping circles inside and out, criss-crossing intricately. Though the circumference spanned only a few feet, they unmistakably severed his connection to the world.
“Sizzle…”
The sealing runes, upon manifesting, rapidly lted away like frost in fire.
When the prohibition of the inner and outer circles of the Technique Seed Restriction was fully unsealed, Ai Cangsheng could no longer maintain his usual outward appearance.
His topknot unraveled, and his black hair billowed wildly, making him appear like a mad demon.
In the lawless zone of the black hole, waves arose seemingly out of thin air, disturbing the eternal black fabric that had remained unchanged for ten millennia, stirring ripples layer upon layer.
And with every ripple, the power around Ai Cangsheng surged ever more fiercely. In the blink of an eye, though still seated in the void, his figure beca ethereal…
In terms of aura, he was now loftier than the heavens, capable of eclipsing the sun and moon!
“This…”
Feng Zhongzui could only stamr in awe, but before finishing his sentence, the Gang Wind tore at the corners of his lips, and blood gushed out from his seven orifices.
The Five Domains Preaching Mirror’s images twisted madly, spectators breaking into cold sweats, their hands and feet chilled as they instinctively retreated.
Even those separated by an entire domain felt as if one glance from Lord Cang Sheng could shatter gods and Buddhas alike—let alone these blasphemous mortals daring to observe him!
“What just happened?”
“What is Lord Cang Sheng doing?”
“He only ford a few seals—what kind of technique could wield such destructive power?”
“Does he an to pierce all five regions with a single arrow? Zhong Yuanzi, Elder Zhong, I understand your point now! Stop him, quickly!”
Who could stop him?
Thousands of miles away, Zhong Yuanzi’s expression was filled with despair.
He had no way of discerning whether Ai Cangsheng was still rational or had completely lost himself.
All he could do was relentlessly defend whatever he was able to protect.
As for the Five Decays of Heaven and Man…
They were beyond saving!
Zhong Yuanzi didn’t even need to think to know the Five Extre Physiques could not withstand the unsealing of the first rank of the Technique Seed Restriction.
The Undying Body could indeed avoid death.
But even immortality would shatter, and recovering would take ti.
If the Five Extre Physiques were truly invincible, they would not have fallen to others in their weaker monts.
Even the foremost Devouring Physique…
Zhong Yuanzi understood perfectly: Ai Cangsheng was deliberately forcing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man to devour this power!
To outsiders, the Devouring Physique seed unbeatable.
But in comparison to the strength of the Ten High Nobles, the limits of its devouring capabilities beca apparent.
Once it surpassed those limits, the Five Decays of Heaven and Man would be unable to digest it—they would burst before even holding out against the next arrow.
Zhong Yuanzi had no idea where these individuals found the courage to confront this seemingly inconspicuous Ai Cangsheng face-to-face.
As a mber of the Council of Ten, he had witnessed firsthand countless etings where this silent man, seated beside Hallmaster Dao, could suppress the latter’s overbearing presence with just a look.
Forget about the Five Decays of Heaven and Man—deep in Zhong Yuanzi’s heart, considering the combat strength displayed by soone like Xu Xiaoshou at present…
Unless they were hiding far more…
There was simply no chance!
…
“It’s happening!”
“Look, Lord Cang Sheng is drawing his arrow!”
The exclamation of “Lord Cang Sheng” across the five regions was filled with reverence.
But all eyes fell on the black hole’s core, where Ai Cangsheng, black hair flying wildly, grasped the Evil Sin Bow—but this ti, he did not imdiately pull the string.
In the past, he would simply draw the bowstring, letting the Evil Sin Bow condense the Arrow of Evil Sin Bow on its own.
This ti, after nocking the bow and aiming at the Western Region, his right hand reached behind him, fingers brushing the nape of his neck.
Everyone knew Ai Cangsheng didn’t carry anything like a quiver; he didn’t even need to bring arrows!
But this ti!
As his hand moved, he directly drew an ancient, unadorned, pure black arrow from within his own body, erging slowly from his right nape.
“Boom!”
With every inch the arrow erged, the black hole expanded by a hundred zhang.
As Ai Cangsheng finally removed the arrow fully from his body, the center of the sacred mountain had been almost entirely swallowed by the black hole.
He nocked the arrow onto the bowstring.
The black arrow stretched eight feet long, slender and graceful—taller than an average adult man.
The arrow itself seed unremarkable, as if forged from ordinary black iron—though clearly, no black iron could ever create such a weapon.
One glance was enough for the people of the five regions to feel that this single arrow was far stronger than a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand compressed Arrows of the Evil Sin Bow combined!
The bow curved into a full moon.
The arrowhead hovered at his fingertips.
Ai Cangsheng’s upper robe exploded, leaving the onlookers aghast.
Both of his arms bulged with muscle, black patterns coiling around them—these weren’t Qilin Arms; rather, two Qilins seed to have burrowed into his very flesh!
…
“This…this strength…”
From his disappearing state, Xu Xiaoshou, thousands of miles away, broke into a cold sweat.
He attempted to blink to the target’s frontal direction, but as soon as he did, his pores stood on end, his heartbeat skyrocketed, and it felt like he had willingly leapt into the fatal embrace of the god of death.
“Under threat, passive points 1.”
He quickly retreated.
But as he did, another thought struck him—the Five Decays of Heaven and Man were about to “die”!
Throughout one’s life, uncertainty abounds, silence reigns in many monts—could he let it slip away this ti?
Perhaps, the Five Decays of Heaven and Man rely lacked a way to express themselves!
Driven by that faint sense of “benevolence,” even if it was just a fleeting “feeling,” Xu Xiaoshou decided he could not turn a blind eye.
Under the looming shadow of the Arrow of Evil Sin Bow, Xu Xiaoshou made his choice. He leapt into the fray, activating the Vanishing Technique.
“A gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall.”
For once, Xu Xiaoshou let himself play the rogue, a smile spreading across his face as he chuckled nervously:
“Lord Cang Sheng, perhaps, if you could grant a small favor…”
“TWANG!!!”
