391: Chapter 396 Dark Night King 391: Chapter 396 Dark Night King The old fiend had lived for over four thousand years and could truly be called a peerless figure.
Indeed, as he said, who in his generation still remained in this world?
Yet, at this moment, he was begging the divine king for mercy.
To survive, he had forsaken everything, even going so far as to kneel and kowtow.
“Caiyun…” Jiang Taixu called softly, looking down at the woman in his arms, his expression inparably gentle, as if fearing he would wake her.
“Brother Taixu, spare me.
In this mortal world, of our generation, only you and I remain,” the old fiend’s voice quivered, again pleading for mercy.
The divine king abruptly raised his head.
His eyes flashed like lightning with divine radiance, and boundless murderous intent surged forth.
He coldly fixated on the old fiend, the War Spear in his hand spouting purple light.
The old fiend’s face turned pale.
He knew his adversary’s killing intent was resolute and could not be swayed.
Grimly, he said, “Let us die together then!” A divine flame erupted from his skull, soaring skyward like a burning Immortal Furnace.
It transformed into a boundless conflagration, sweeping towards Jiang Taixu, as the old fiend intended to shatter his own Source to severely injure the divine king.
“BAH!” With a clear shout from the divine king, the endlessly terrifying fluctuations instantly calmed.
The peerless old fiend was pinned in the void like a figure in a scroll.
This was a Supreme Technique evolved from the Fighting Saint Technique, infusing the Dao Heavenly Sound into a single syllable, capable of intimidating all tangible and intangible killing intent.
PUFF!
The Purple Battle Spear in the divine king’s hand thrust forward, piercing the old fiend’s brow.
Black mist drifted out, thick with the heavy aura of death.
FWOOSH!
Jiang Taixu lightly shook the War Spear.
A surging purple divine flame erupted, incinerating everything to ash.
The peerless old fiend was utterly annihilated, both in form and spirit.
At this moment, eight Saint Master Level figures still remained.
Their faces changed; everyone felt a sense of imminent danger.
In such a domain, how could they possibly continue to fight?
Within the Divine King Pure Land, Jiang Taixu reigned supreme.
United with the Ancient Heaven-devouring Demon Vessel, he was utterly invincible, like a living god!
Jiang Taixu held the Purple Battle Spear and swept his gaze over everyone.
Still silent, he embraced Fairy Caiyun and, amidst the Flower Rain, stepped towards the eight top masters.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a vast divine might descended, rending the Divine King Pure Land and tearing open a great passage for escape.
Extreme Dao pressure!
Someone wielding a resurrected Great Emperor’s Holy Weapon had opened a path, connecting the Divine King Pure Land to the outside world.
The eight Saint Master Level figures, as if receiving a great pardon, soared into the sky.
PUFF!
Jiang Taixu struck.
The Purple Battle Spear pierced one person, tearing them asunder.
Flesh and blood splattered within the Divine King Pure Land as they became a wisp of a specter.
Another great figure’s soul had dispersed.
SWISH!
The beautiful Pure Land vanished, and Fairy Caiyun was gone as well.
The divine king stood alone in the field, the Ancient Heaven-devouring Demon Vessel above his head, the Purple Battle Spear in his hand.
“Divine King Ancestor…” Before the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Jiang Family members called out in unison.
They sensed the Extreme Dao pressure.
Was the most terrifying figure in the shadows finally going to make a move?
BOOM!
It was like the surging tide, or like tens of thousands of cavalry thundering past.
The sound was so immense that many cultivators could barely withstand it, nearly collapsing into the dust.
High in the heavens, a Red Gold Divine Phoenix transformed into a dazzling streak of light and swooped down, merging into Jiang Taixu’s body.
His power instantly soared to an unattainable height.
At that moment, he was indistinguishable from a god.
His black hair danced, his white robes ethereal.
His physical body emanated a crystalline, auspicious radiance, and his sweeping gaze was suffocating.
“Jiang Taixu, you are so close to the Hengyu Furnace!
To think you actually have a natural connection with it!” a voice like a night owl’s drifted from the shadows.
In the cavern, the Holy Furnace cast from Phoenix Blood Red Gold radiated an intense light, making it impossible to look at directly.
No one could see its true form.
Just moments before, the Divine Phoenix had emerged from this very furnace and merged into the divine king’s body.
“You killed Caiyun…” Jiang Taixu’s words were calm, yet they carried boundless sorrow.
“Four thousand years ago, when you killed my elder brother, did you ever imagine this day would e?” the night owl-like voice spoke coldly.
Jiang Taixu’s expression flickered, as if recalling distant memories.
He pondered for a moment and said, “The Twin Kings of the Central States?” “Your memory isn’t bad.
Even after more than four thousand years, you still remember us!” The voice in the darkness grew even colder.
In the distance, the faces of the Jiang Family members all changed.
They hadn’t expected the enemy in the shadows to have such a significant origin.
Over four thousand years ago, the Twin Kings of the Central States were renowned throughout the world.
The elder brother was named Taiyang Monarch, and the younger was Dark Night King; they were twin brothers.
When the two brothers set out together, they swept across the world, invincible wherever they went, truly peerless twin prodigies, rarely encountering a match.
Divine King Jiang had encountered countless foes in his lifetime.
However, only the battle with the Taiyang Monarch had been so perilous, an engagement truly capable of shaking the heavens and moving spirits to weep!
They obliterated everything in their path, shattering countless mountain ranges as they fought fiercely throughout the night.
Finally, Divine King Jiang executed an earth-shattering blow, eradicating the Taiyang Monarch in form and soul, causing him to vanish forever from the world.
“Jiang Taixu, four thousand years ago, did you use the Hengyu Divine Furnace to kill my brother?” the Dark Night King shouted sharply.
“I did not use the Holy Furnace,” Jiang Taixu stated calmly, then rose into the air, reaching the surface.
Light from the Hengyu Holy Furnace blazed forth, crimson as blood, breathtaking as twilight, and more radiant than the sun itself.
Alas, besides Jiang Taixu, no one could discern its true form.
At this time, the two Extreme Dao Holy Weapons were mutually constraining each other, still locked in opposition.
Before the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Jiang Family members wore grave expressions.
They sensed that the situation was taking a very bad turn.
The Dark Night King was definitely a match for the Divine King.
If a true battle erupted, it would be hard to say who was stronger or weaker!
Moreover, who had lent the sacred weapon of an ancient Great Emperor to the Dark Night King?
Although his background was mysterious, it was surely impossible for him to possess a peak weapon on his own.
The Dark Night King harbored grand ambitions; he wanted to seize the Hengyu Furnace.
He had been attempting to do so all along and had not given up even now.
At this time, Ye Fan quietly recalled the Divine King’s techniques, paring them with his own understanding of the Fighting Saint Technique, and benefited greatly.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the battle between the Dark Night King and the peerless Divine King erupted.
They soared into the highest clouds, unleashing an endless array of techniques.
The Hengyu Furnace and another mysterious Extreme Dao Holy Weapon remained entangled within a fragmented Great Emperor Array, not drawn into the battle.
This battle was unseen by any.
Both batants moved through shattered space, engaged in a confrontation of the Great Dao itself, countless times more perilous than the previous duels.
BUZZ!
The Divine City trembled.
Everyone felt a deep apprehension, as if the Dao of heaven and earth was pressing down upon them.
Many trembled uncontrollably, collapsing directly to the ground.
The Dark Night King was an extremely terrifying existence, immeasurably stronger than even the three old fiends.
He had survived to this day on his own strength.
He was not like the three old fiends, who had maintained their undeath through the effects of Netherworld herbs.
The Dark Night King’s own life essence was not yet depleted; he possessed boundless divine energy, and his physical body and divine scan were terrifyingly potent.
His prehension of the Dao was unparalleled in the current age, reaching a truly frightening level.
One could only imagine the terrifying might the Twin Kings would have wielded if the Taiyang Monarch were still alive and they walked the world together!
This battle was destined to be recorded in the annals of cultivation.
A clash between two peerless Kings—who knew how many years it had been since such an event had occurred.
Yet, it was a cause for regret that no one could witness the process of their battle.
The two moved through the highest heavens, their duel a contest of the Great Dao, imperceptible unless one was an opponent of the same level.
“KILL!” The seven Saint Master Level figures who had fled earlier now returned, launching an attack against the Jiang Family members.
They sought to disturb the Divine King’s Heart Spirit, indirectly aiding the Dark Night King in killing him.
They would have preferred to leave, but the Divine City was sealed.
As long as the Hengyu Divine Furnace was not retrieved, they could not escape.
If Jiang Taixu won, all of them would die; not a single one would survive.
BOOM!
Heaven and earth were rent asunder.
The Ancient Heaven-devouring Demon Vessel descended, suppressing them outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, exhaling an endless murderous aura.
The ninth great bandit, Jiang Yi, stepped forward and shouted, “You cowardly rats, showing your tails but hiding your heads!” Jiang Yun also stepped forward, coldly glaring at the seven top experts.
He was incensed by their vile actions, which forced the Divine King to redirect half of the peak weapon to protect the Jiang Family members.
“Divine King Ancestor, do not worry about us!
As long as you can achieve victory, everything can be reversed!” the Jiang Family members shouted.
“Hahaha…” The seven Saint Master Level figures laughed heartily.
“Jiang Taixu is doomed!” They soared into the sky, distancing themselves from this place, afraid that the peerless Divine King might suddenly return to strike them down.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the Hengyu Holy Furnace trembled, seeming as if it would tear through space, causing the entire Divine City to shudder.
“What’s happening?!” The Jiang Family members were astonished.
“This is bad!
The Great Emperor Array carved by the Dark Night King has taken effect!
It’s uniting with another sacred weapon to snatch the Divine Furnace away!” the Jiang Family expert controlling the Taiyang Saint Furnace shouted in panic and dread.
“Damn it!” Jiang Yun roared.
He finally understood that killing the Divine King was secondary for the Dark Night King; his primary goal was to seize the Holy Furnace.
BOOM!
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, as if the two peerless Kings were drawing closer to the ground.
“Jiang Taixu, the Hengyu Holy Furnace will be mine!
You are powerless to change this!” the Dark Night King sneered, manipulating the Great Dao to intercept Jiang Taixu, preventing him from returning to the ground.
“Throw out the fire furnace you carry!
Let it approach the Holy Furnace!” Suddenly, Jiang Taixu’s voice echoed in Ye Fan’s mind.
Ye Fan’s heart trembled.
He instantly thought of the Fire God Furnace.
Could it really have some connection to the Jiang Family’s Holy Furnace?
This was no time for hesitation.
Ye Fan acted decisively, launching the Fire God Furnace.
It transformed into a streak of fiery light, flying towards the Hengyu Holy Furnace.
BOOM!
Heaven and earth quaked.
The Hengyu Furnace erupted in a brilliant light.
The sacred radiance of Phoenix Blood Red Gold instantly inundated the entire Chenggu City, stunning everyone within.
What had happened?
Immediately after, almost half the people present involuntarily knelt, unable to withstand the sudden, immense pressure!
The Hengyu Holy Furnace stabilized.
Even though the other sacred weapon and the Great Emperor Array had bined to oppose it, they were now utterly suppressed.
High above, the Dark Night King exclaimed in shock, “What is that fire furnace?
It contains Great Emperor Dao Pattern!
It broke the Array Patterns I inscribed!” BOOM!
The Dao Heavenly Sound resonated through the highest clouds, as if the Ancient Heavenly Court itself had descended upon the mortal world.
It vibrated with an inparable Dao Divine Power, engulfing the Divine City.
The Dark Night King let out a muffled grunt.
“Jiang Taixu…
you were sealed within the Purple Mountain, your life essence nearly exhausted!
How could you break through to such a Realm?!”
