Chapter 278 - 160: Another Divine Technique, Annihilating an Immortal Emperor with a Single Hand

"Is... Is that the Celestial Destiny Emperor? The man who became an Immortal Emperor in less than a century."

"Hiss... We in the North Sea Islands have killed many Cultivators from the Eastern Divine Land, especially from the Yongchang Kingdom. Is the Celestial Destiny Emperor here for payback?!"

"Don’t you know? Years ago, the Sect Leader himself made a move and nearly killed the Celestial Destiny Emperor’s maid and sister."

"We’re done for. This battle is going to be a fight to the death. We need to find a chance to escape so we don’t get caught in the crossfire."

"I wonder who will win."

"The Celestial Destiny Emperor is audacious, daring to come to Sect Leader Xu’s own domain. An Immortal Emperor fighting on their home ground has countless tricks up their sleeve. Their power increases by at least twenty or thirty percent!"

Amidst the cultivators’ cries of shock and doubt.

RUMBLE!

The vast sky trembled for thousands of miles.

The entire Chaotic Star Palace radiated an intense black light that seemed capable of devouring all existence.

Within the boundless black light,

a figure clad in a black robe slowly took form.

However,

the face beneath the black robe remained a formless void, impossible to see clearly.

Of course,

this did not apply to Wang Xiao.

With the threads of Cause and Effect interwoven, no one who shared a causal link with him could escape his perception.

His gaze was piercing. He could clearly see a savage, scar-covered face beneath the black robe.

The eyes on this face were pitch-black, like a dark, empty void, utterly devoid of light.

Yet they radiated an aura that promised to devour anyone they looked upon.

Sensing Wang Xiao’s gaze,

Xu Mo let out a sinister laugh.

"To look upon me without the slightest ripple in your heart... Celestial Destiny Emperor, it seems your Cultivation has advanced these past few years!"

Wang Xiao’s expression was placid.

"If my heart wavered from merely looking at a rat hiding in a sewer, I’d have wasted all my years of Cultivation."

Xu Mo chuckled, completely unfazed.

"A rat? Heh. Don’t you know that a rat’s sewer isn’t a place one can simply waltz into?"

"If you’re not careful, you’ll end up as just another corpse in that sewer!"

BOOM!

It was as if ten thousand thunderbolts had detonated in the heavens.

In that instant,

the Chaotic Star Palace behind Xu Mo began to tremble violently.

It then morphed, transforming into massive, pitch-black chains!

Like great black dragons, the chains whipped through the air before plunging into the Void!

The next moment,

monstrous waves churned across thousands upon thousands of miles of sea, surging like ten thousand rushing rivers!

Immediately after,

the nine islands that guarded the Chaotic Star Palace were violently hoisted into the air by the massive chains!

The nine islands shot into the sky like rising Stars. Linked by the massive chains, they began to emit an ancient, unchanging black light.

A torrential Law flowed from each island—the Law of Slaughter, the Law of War, the Law of Poison, the Law of Blood...

These Laws were then bound together by the pitch-black chains, which pulsed with an aura of the Void, unifying them into a single whole!

A boundless, raging aura swept out, sealing off the area in all directions!

Xu Mo’s voice was raspy, his void-like eyes fixed on Wang Xiao.

"If you hadn’t come, you might have lived to see the Invincible Road appear. But since you came here seeking death, you have no one to blame but me!"

"This Star Blood Transformation Array is the culmination of every Law I have mastered. Let it be the one to send you on your way!"

RUMBLE!

Boundless darkness descended, transforming the region for tens of thousands of miles into what seemed like a patch of pure Void!

RUMBLE!

The nine Stars, imbued with the power to annihilate everything, suddenly closed in, pressing down on Wang Xiao from all sides!

Wherever they passed, space itself was reduced to Void!

Any Cultivators and commoners who couldn’t evade in time were instantly dissolved into bloody pulp by the encroaching Void!

’He actually comprehended ten Great Daos and used a special Array, with the Void as its core, to link them all together. This Xu Mo is quite the talent.’

A glint appeared in Wang Xiao’s eyes.

He could sense that an ordinary Immortal Emperor would likely be unable to withstand the Star Blood Transformation Array.

Even he himself might not have been a match for it if he had only mastered the Destiny Great Dao.

However,

he was no ordinary Immortal Emperor.

And more than three years had been enough time for his mastery of the Causality Bow to reach a state of absolute perfection.

He stood tall as a torrent of Dao Power poured forth from his Cause and Effect Dao Fruit.

It then coalesced into a Divine Bow that bloomed with a brilliant golden radiance.

As Divine Light swirled around it,

Wang Xiao hooked his fingers on the string and drew the Causality Bow into a full moon.

In that instant,

Xu Mo, not far away, felt his heart lurch. It was as if he had been locked onto by an invisible force!

His body distorted, melting into the Void.

Yet, the sensation of being targeted followed him like a shadow.

’What is this power?! Die!’

Xu Mo’s face contorted with savagery. He splayed his fingers, then clenched them into a fist!

In that moment, the nine Stars seemed to merge into one, crushing tens of thousands of miles of space. Like a meteor falling to earth, they smashed toward Wang Xiao in unison.

CLANG!

Just then,

the Celestial Destiny Sword shot forth, nocking itself upon the Causality Bow to serve as an arrow!

It was infused with surging Gang Qi and vital energy, as well as boundless Destiny Dao Power.

A frenzied killing intent saturated the blade, causing it to hum and tremble!

TWANG!

A sound that shook the very Void echoed in the hearts of all who heard it.

The Celestial Destiny Sword was loosed, shooting toward the Stars that were bearing down on Wang Xiao!

Instantly,

the Void was torn asunder, shattering into fragments!

One by one, the Stars shattered like fireworks beneath the Celestial Destiny Sword’s advance.

Then, they disintegrated, vaporizing into nothing.

Immediately after,

amidst a series of explosions that seemed to stretch on for eternity,

the Celestial Destiny Sword tore through Space at unimaginable speed. Trailing a brilliant tail of light and carrying an indelible aura of Destiny, it plunged into the Void!

"How is this possible?!"

A furious roar erupted from within the Void.

Tens of thousands of miles of sky detonated, then shattered inch by inch.

A bloody mist filled the Void.

The black-robed Xu Mo was dragged from the Void, the Celestial Destiny Sword having pierced clean through his chest.

The space behind him seemed to solidify!

ZING!

The Celestial Destiny Sword glowed with brilliant Divine Light, its unparalleled will pinning Xu Mo firmly in the void!
