A terrifying clap of thunder split the sky.
The sky suddenly darkened like a precursor to the end of the world.
Niu Haishan and the others were stunned by this scene, unable to utter a single word.
This power did not belong to the Soul Splitting King, so that meant it was released by Luo Tian. How could a Martial Void martial artist release such power? It was too inconceivable. Something that was simply beyond comprehension.
That hope they were holding onto in their hearts was growing stronger and stronger.
In Niu Haishan’s heart, Luo Tian’s position rose once more. He thought to himself, “If he can succeed, then he should have what it takes to guard the secret of the Spectral Gems vein. Rather than letting the devil sects discover it, it would be better if he knew about it first. Perhaps that would be a very good thing for the Central Continent or even for the Ancient World.”
At that moment, Niu Haishan made up his mind to tell Luo Tian the secret location of the Spectral Gems vein.
Of course, this was because Luo Tian had unleashed such incredible power. The power was completely incomprehensible, and he was still only in the Martial Void realm. With this level, he was able to contend with the Holy Spirit realm Soul Splitting King. And it was a Soul Splitting King who possessed the heaven’s chosen power at that. This was enough to demonstrate his strength.
It was enough to prove that he could protect the Spectral Gems vein.
Inside the Boundless Main Hall.
The Soul Splitting King wasn’t worried, nor was he afraid. He looked up at the earth-shattering thunderbolt that was descending and chuckled softly, “I don’t care where this power of yours comes from, nor do I care how great your background is. There is one thing you should understand: each plane has its own power laws. These are set by the rulers of the laws and cannot be broken. In the Ancient World, heaven’s chosen power is one of the three most powerful forces. It comes from heaven and is above all other powers. No matter how strong your power is, you can’t break the laws of the Ancient World, nor can you match heaven’s chosen power. So…”
As his words dragged out, the Soul Splitting King’s expression became even more disdainful. His eyes were filled with contempt as he said, “You can’t possibly be my match.”
In an instant, the heaven’s chosen power within him erupted like a fountain. It soared into the sky like a powerful flood before surging towards Luo Tian. His expression also became ferocious as he roared madly, “Let me show you why it’s called the heaven’s chosen power!”
“Aggghhh~!”
“Aggghhh~!”
His veins bulged as he roared madly toward the sky. He looked like someone who had gone into berserk mode.
Releasing such dense heaven’s chosen power would cause his physical body to endure immense pain. Even though the Soul Splitting King was a spiritual body, one of the side effects was that the pain he endured was hundreds of times greater than that of an ordinary person. But if he could crush Luo Tian, he would gladly pay any price, no matter how terrible it was.
“Luo Tian, you damn dog thing! Kneel down before me!”
He experienced a miserable and embarrassing state when he was smashed to the ground twice by Luo Tian. He was extremely pissed off. He was going to crush Luo Tian to the ground in one move so that he could never get up again. He wanted Luo Tian dead!
At that moment, a strange light shot out from the Boundless Main Hall.
It soared into the thick clouds and caused it to spin, forming a huge vortex slowly. At the center of the vortex was a golden sky where a phantom image appeared. It was as if there was a mirage of heaven itself. The powerful heaven’s chosen power spun down from the vortex, and while under the control of the Soul Splitting King, it smashed down upon Luo Tian like Mount Tai.
Powerful!
Unparalleled power!
Words could no longer describe it!
The Soul Splitting King started laughing. Laughter filled with extreme arrogance.
Seeing the power of heaven’s chosen descend so forcefully, he knew that not just Luo Tian, but even a peak Holy Spirit realm powerhouse or perhaps even an early-stage Honorable Emperor powerhouse, would not be able to withstand it. Just because this was the power of the heavens!
At the same time as the Soul Splitting King was laughing arrogantly, the Soul Splitting Sword seemed to be emanating a smug expression.
It was gloating and excited.
There was also a burst of mad laughter echoing through the void.
“Kid, you’re still too green to fight me. I, the Soul Splitting Sword, have stood proudly for over 13,000 years. How could I be killed by a nobody like you? Humph~!” ʀ𝐀Ŋɵ𝔟Ɛŝ
“I shall let you taste the heaven’s chosen power. And I will let you know that provoking me, the Soul Splitting Sword, is like provoking the God of Death! Hahaha…” The Soul Splitting Sword laughed.
The sword finally spoke!
From the very beginning, Luo Tian had sensed that it was not simple. Because above the Soul Splitting Sword was a health bar. There was no doubt that it was also alive. At first, Luo Tian wasn’t too sure, but after it released a tiny bit of the heaven’s chosen power to revive the Soul Splitting King, he got his confirmation.
When it gave all of its heaven’s chosen power to the Soul Splitting King, Luo Tian smiled internally.
Now, the Soul Splitting Sword had completely exposed its true face.
Luo Tian smiled.
Looking at the heaven’s chosen power, which was about to descend, he smiled arrogantly and unrestrained.
The Soul Splitting King couldn’t understand why. “Kid, you’re smiling even when you’re about to die? Have you lost your mind?”
Luo Tian didn’t even look at him.
From the moment the Soul Splitting Sword spoke, Luo Tian’s attention had been focused entirely on it. The Soul Splitting King? He was nothing more than a puppet.
At that very moment, the Soul Splitting Sword’s countenance darkened as if it had realized something. It immediately screamed, “Protect me! Protect me now! Hurry, you stupid thing! Protect me now!”
“Wahahaha…”
“It’s too late!”
After laughing, Luo Tian shouted internally, “Divine Explosion!”
“Ommm~!”
A metallic vibration produced a piercing hum that was harsh to the ears. The aura of the earth-shattering thunderbolt suddenly shifted, doubling in power. It then slammed onto the Soul Splitting Sword that was floating in mid-air.
From the beginning, Luo Tian’s target was the sword and not the Soul Splitting King.
The Soul Splitting King’s expression drastically changed as he shouted, “No! Don’t! No…”
“Crack~!”
“Clang~!”
“Boom~!”
“Go to hell!”
A series of thunderous sounds was heard as if the earth had been pierced through. The entire Boundless Main Hall collapsed, and all the buildings around the hall followed suit and crumbled to the ground. Everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers trembled violently as if the area was struck by a magnitude ten earthquake.
Cracks appeared in many places.
Birds and beasts cried out in fear.
Deafening thunder rumbled across the sky.
The thunderbolt from that earlier strike had awakened all the powerful demonic beasts within the Boundless Mountain Range.
“What’s going on?”
“Boss!”
“It has to be the boss!”
“Luo Tian…”
Outside the gates of the Boundless Sect, the Bai family disciples could no longer sit still. They all rushed in, no longer caring about the things Luo Tian had told them to do. Bai Lingling was the first to rush out, her heart heavy and filled with worry.
If something bad happened to Luo Tian, she would not want to live in this world anymore.
Her father was no longer here, so she couldn’t let her man be gone too.
She was Luo Tian’s woman, and she had no desire to live alone in this world.
Dust filled the sky from the ruined building, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
