Chapter 254 - 153: 40 Years in a Flash, a Divine Weapon is Born

The Earth Immortals who wanted to take the opportunity to flee felt as if they were being locked onto by some unseen force.

A lethal threat gripped their hearts, causing them to break out in a cold sweat. They didn’t dare move a muscle.

Then, Wang Xiao’s figure broke free from the spatial prison and appeared.

He gripped a brilliant golden sword and slashed fiercely toward Qin Wufeng!

CLANG!

Space was torn asunder as a violent power, accompanied by all sorts of profound auras, rampaged forth.

"Hmph, my Heaven-Caging Drum isn’t just for attacking!"

Qin Wufeng struck the Heaven-Caging Drum, and waves of profound spatial ripples formed a defensive shield that completely enveloped him.

But in the next moment, Qin Wufeng’s expression suddenly changed.

He felt a searing vibration that ignored his spatial shield and made direct contact with his body.

The contact grew more and more intense with every one of Wang Xiao’s slashes.

At that moment, it was as if he could see himself being peeled away from the world, as if he would cease to exist in the very next moment!

It was as though his future had been forcibly severed.

This was a power far beyond his comprehension. Even an Immortal Treasure could, at best, only slow its assault, not block it completely.

"No! I’ll give you the Immortal Treasure! Don’t kill me!"

Qin Wufeng could no longer remain calm and shrieked.

However, just as the words left his mouth, he collapsed to the ground, dead in the most bizarre way.

Wang Xiao’s black hair instantly turned white. As his long hair billowed, he made a beckoning gesture, and the Heaven-Caging Drum flew from Qin Wufeng’s hands into his own.

"Unfortunately, you don’t get a second chance to live."

Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes.

’This Space Great Dao is formidable, but it’s not impossible to resist. At the very least, by channeling the Destiny Great Dao, I have many ways to overcome it. And I chose the most effortless method. That was to directly channel the Sword of Destiny and sever my own imprisoned fate! Then, I used the Hand of Destiny to splice the severed thread of fate back together. In this new thread of fate, I was no longer imprisoned, so I could naturally break free from the spatial cage with ease.’

To outside observers, it was as if he had been erased from existence, only to reappear out of thin air.

Of course, breaking free from the spatial cage and killing Qin Wufeng had cost Wang Xiao a full five thousand years of his lifespan.

This was ten times the price he paid to kill the Sect Leader of the Witchcraft Gu Immortal Sect!

And this was only because Qin Wufeng was merely borrowing the power of Space, without understanding the principles behind it.

If it had been an Immortal Emperor who had mastered the Space Great Dao who had acted, Wang Xiao feared escaping in such a manner would not have been so simple.

Of course, Wang Xiao had only just condensed his Destiny Dao Fruit and was not yet proficient in wielding his Divine Techniques.

Once he became more familiar with them, he would be able to control them with greater flexibility, and the cost would be much smaller.

A clash between Origin Great Daos was really a contest to see which side had a more refined mastery over their own.

In other words, it all depended on the Divine Techniques they employed!

It was a matter of who could kill the other at the lowest cost.

His gaze swept over the remaining Earth Immortals holding Immortal Treasures as he said coolly,

"Perhaps you could also try attacking Us with the Immortal Treasures in your hands!"

Hearing this, the Earth Immortals all trembled.

Qin Wufeng had been holding an Immortal Treasure and was killed instantly. How could they not realize that this man had no fear of their Immortal Treasures whatsoever?

The Immortal Treasures they were so proud of were likely worthless in his eyes.

The Sect Leader of Fulong Mountain gave a bitter laugh.

"If I offer up my Immortal Treasure, will Your Majesty spare Fulong Mountain?"

Wang Xiao replied coolly,

"You have no choice right now. Either offer up your Immortal Treasures, or die!"

The Sect Leader of Fulong Mountain sighed.

"I am willing to offer my Immortal Treasure!"

The other Earth Immortals holding Immortal Treasures dared not make a move, obediently offering up their treasures.

’These Earth Immortals from the Immortal Sects are all just paper tigers.’

Wang Xiao couldn’t be bothered to strike again, simply collecting the Immortal Treasures from the Immortal Sects’ Earth Immortals.

They contained the Immortal Emperor’s Law, which he could take his time comprehending over the coming days.

Of course, the most important task was to smelt these Immortal Treasures and Immortal Artifacts and forge them into his own Weapon!

"We wish to inspect the legacy Cultivation Techniques of your Immortal Sects. Please lead the way!"

Wang Xiao had not forgotten his search for a way to improve the Nirvana Ninth Transformation and enhance the strength of his physical body.

These were crucial for his later plans to refine Earth and break through to become a Tier Seven Life form.

And so, the battle at Infinite Mountain concluded with Wang Xiao completely beating the Immortal Sects into submission!

Afterward, Wang Xiao traveled to the various Immortal Sects to study their legacy Cultivation Techniques, and he also began smelting the Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Treasures to forge his own Weapon!

「Ten years later.」

Wang Xiao had finished reading all the legacy Cultivation Techniques of the major Immortal Sects. Then, taking his still-unfinished Weapon, he set off for the Immortal Sects of other domains.

Each domain practiced different cultivation methods, which was perfect for Wang Xiao to learn from and compensate for his own shortcomings.

This journey across various domains, "exchanging pointers" with their respective Immortal Sects, took Wang Xiao a full thirty years.

「The Antarctic Ice Sheet.」

Atop a snowy peak.

A brilliant, golden Sword Shadow suddenly tore through the blizzard, shooting straight into the heavens.

A vast golden light, filled with sharp Sword Qi, spread across heaven and earth, covering the sky for thousands upon thousands of miles.

Every Cultivator on the Antarctic Ice Sheet looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with utter disbelief!

"What is that? An Immortal Treasure? A Divine Weapon?!"
