Chapter 683: Chapter 683: The Undying Body, The Avatar of the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone
“Protector of Misty Sect, Hu Feifei!” Hu Feifei stepped forward, carrying the Hunyuan Staff with pride written all over her pretty face.
“Misty Sect’s Sect Master, Ye Feng.” Ye Feng spoke calmly.
With his Eye of Insight, he naturally could see why Xuan Zhong wouldn’t die, and he himself, having a method to break it, was therefore unperturbed.
But…
Ye Feng hesitated about whether to make a move.
With his strength, he was more than capable of completely exterminating Xuan Zhong, but it was very likely that doing so would provoke the enmity of the Celestial Clan.
“Sect Master Ye, join us in attacking together and completely annihilate this person. Do not let him be overly arrogant.”
Wu Xuan, the son of the Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone, said in a deep voice.
They joined forces, but couldn’t kill Xuan Zhong; perhaps, it would take Ye Feng’s power to utterly destroy this strong member of the Celestial Clan.
“It’s useless,” Ye Feng shook his head. “You can’t see the weakness of the Celestial Clan; no matter how you try to kill them, they won’t die.”
Ye Feng stretched out his hand, pointing towards the Hundredfold Crimson Moon in the sky.
Everyone’s gaze sharpened.
“Could it be that the Hundredfold Crimson Moon is to blame?”
The crowd quickly realized.
“Hmph, to think it has been discovered!”
“But, even if you have discovered it, what of it? Our Holy Master personally arranged it, allowing the Crimson Moon to devour the Sun and expand a hundredfold, able to continuously release the Power of the Crimson Moon.”
“As long as this power continues, I shall have an Undying Body. What can you do against me?” Xuan Zhong sneered.
“Everyone, set up a seal to block this fellow from devouring the Power of the Crimson Moon; I refuse to believe he can’t be killed!”
Xiao Cangtian swallowed a large bottle of Healing Virtual Pill; his injuries rapidly recovered, and his breath returned to its peak.
“Kill!”
The dozens of powerhouses present attacked simultaneously.
Some cast a sky-covering, moon-obscuring black shield to block the light of the Crimson Moon.
Some pointed a finger, and terrifying streams of qi pierced through the void, tearing apart Xuan Zhong’s body.
Others brought their hands together in prayer, and a giant appeared behind them; with a stomp, they could send a giant axe flying out, crashing miles away.
Boom!
This time, Xuan Zhong was once again blown apart.
“Hmph, let’s see if you die this time!” Xiao Cangtian laughed heartily towards the sky.
At this moment, the sky had already been covered by the seals of other top-tier Heavenly Emperors, preventing the Power of the Crimson Moon from descending.
But, aside from Ye Feng, nobody knew that the giant axe miles away was quietly devouring the Power of the Crimson Moon, repairing the surface cracks, and returning to its peak.
Clang!
It returned to the battlefield once more, making the blood mist from Xuan Zhong’s exploded body reassemble, and his aura quickly returned to its peak.
“Impossible!”
Xiao Cangtian’s eyes nearly bulged out, and his face no longer bore a smile.
“Sect Master, how did he resurrect again?”
Hu Feifei whispered into Ye Feng’s ear.
“Because Xuan Zhong’s soul is hidden inside the giant axe. As long as the giant axe exists, he can resurrect infinitely… well, strictly speaking, this isn’t resurrection, since what was exploded was only his external incarnation. As for the true body, you could say it is the giant axe,” Ye Feng transmitted his voice.
He had set up a special barrier so no one else could eavesdrop; they were unaware of the secret behind Xuan Zhong’s infinite resurrection.
“After Xuan Zhong’s giant axe was sent flying, it devoured the Power of the Crimson Moon, hence it could continuously reassemble the External Incarnation.”
“Other people only noticed Xuan Zhong’s External Incarnation, mistaking it for the true body, not knowing that the giant axe is the true body.”
“Only by shattering the giant axe can he be killed!” Ye Feng said calmly.
However, the giant axe was a Two-Star Supreme Spiritual Treasure; to shatter it, the difficulty was enormous.
Supreme Spiritual Treasures, are those that have transcended Spirit Treasures, yet are not on par with Sacred Arms, a kind of transitional stage Divine Weapon.
A One-Star Transcendent Spirit Treasure corresponds to a One-Turn Quasi-Saint.
And so on.
A Four-Star Transcendent Spirit Treasure corresponds to a Four-Turn Quasi-Saint.
Ye Feng also came to know of this classification after Hu Feifei was upgraded to a Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure, after continuous analysis.
In fact.
The classification of Transcendent Spirit Treasures has long existed.
The so-called Transcendent Spirit Treasures are actually the life-bound Spiritual Treasures of various Quasi-Saints, who have nourished their Spiritual Treasures with their own power, enabling them to break through the limits of Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasures.
Gradually, the classification of “Transcendent Spirit Treasures” came into being.
In the high sky.
Xuan Zhong held the giant axe, his expression arrogant.
He looked disdainfully at all those present, sneering, “You think you can kill me by setting up restrictions and seals? Ridiculous! I am invincible!”
“Invincible my ass!” Xiao Cangtian roared in fury.
He bellowed loudly, once again transforming into a Golden Dragon as he launched himself forward in attack.
“Wild Axe Cleaves Heaven and Earth!”
Xuan Zhong lifted his giant axe once more, the blade shining with a sinister blood light. With a powerful swing, Xiao Cangtian was cleaved in half at the waist.
With another swing of the axe, Xiao Cangtian was cut into three pieces!
“Come on, attack now!”
All the top-tier Heavenly Emperors and Quasi-Saint Protectors acted in unison, blocking the giant axe and blowing Xuan Zhong apart once again.
And the giant axe was crafty.
It intentionally used the shockwave from Xuan Zhong’s explosion to fling itself far away, landing thousands of miles away to stealthily devour the Power of the Crimson Moon.
All of this was seen by Ye Feng.
He did not engage in the fight, silently watching everything unfold.
A thousand miles from here, deep within a shroud of mist,
a graceful figure was enshrouded by the fog, calmly observing everything. She made no move, yet she managed to discern Xuan Zhong’s weakness.
This person was the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone.
She saw through Xuan Zhong’s weakness but did not speak of it.
She wanted to see if these juniors could find the weakness of the Celestial Clan themselves and stand on their own.
“The Celestial Clan is indeed cunning, seizing the chance when the Saint Realm was caught in the great starry battle to set up a trap and devour the Sun—now this really complicates things,” the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone said in a deep voice.
As she spoke, her form became increasingly ethereal.
If Ye Feng were here, he would have realized that the figure of the Lord of the Cangqing Forbidden Zone was only a Divine Sense projection, not her real body.
High above in the sky,
“Hahaha… You are all so weak!”
“Not to brag, but all of you here are just little brothers to me!”
“However, this Saint still has a mission to fulfill and cannot be bothered to waste words with you. Farewell!”
Xuan Zhong reconstituted his body once more.
Hoisting his giant axe, he turned to leave.
“Stop right there!”
Xiao Cangtian hastily gulped down three large bottles of Healing Virtual Pills, recovered from his injuries, and charged forward again.
“Humph, out of my way!”
With a wild chop of his axe, Xiao Cangtian was once again cut in half at the waist.
Whoosh!
Xuan Zhong leaped up, breaking through the encirclement and flying toward the south, heading straight for a Five-Star Empire located a billion miles from there.
“Heeheehee!”
“Detected an empire within a three billion-mile radius, teeming with countless living creatures. Slaughter half of the living creatures in this empire to complete the mission.”
Xuan Zhong laughed heartily.
“Stop right there!”
“He’s about to cause chaos, stop him!”
The people from the Five Great Forbidden Zones weren’t very keen on pursuing, but the cultivators from the Nine Great Holy Lands and the Nine Great Mountain Ranges had a strong sense of justice, and without thinking twice, they charged forward.
“Let’s go!”
Ye Feng followed suit.
From the beginning until now, he had been silently observing as Xiao Cangtian and the other top-tier powerhouses performed. But from this point on, he could no longer play the slacker.
“If you target ordinary people, then don’t blame me for joining the battle… After all, this is the fastest way to earn Prestige Points.”
Ye Feng’s lips curled up slightly.
He was starting to feel a bit relieved that he hadn’t acted earlier.
If he had accidentally slain Xuan Zhong within the Forbidden Zone, he would have missed out on Prestige Points worth billions.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Everyone chased after him.
Every person present was a top-tier Heavenly Emperor or a Quasi-Saint.
After tearing through space, it didn’t take long before they appeared above an empire that was a billion miles away.
“Nine Swords Empire!”
Peering down below, Ye Feng scanned with his Divine Sense and knew the name of this empire.
It spanned hundreds of millions of miles, with a population too vast to count.
And now, the group had appeared right above the Du City of the Nine Swords Empire.
“Who goes there?”
As the group appeared, a voice filled with shock immediately rang out from within Nine Swords Empire’s Du City.
