Chapter 321: Sunset Divine Arrow, Yang Chan

Crack—

Shituo Wang's wrought iron staff smashed into the crumbling space-time barrier one after another, instantly emitting the sound of shattering glass.

Spiderweb-like patterns spread in all directions, a shocking sight.

In the end, it shattered with a boom. The surrounding broken space-time splashed about like shards of colored glaze~

"Hmph! As if it were that easy!"

Seeing his methods broken, Fang Longye merely gave a cold laugh, neither dodging nor evading.

Clearly, he had other support and was fearless.

Sure enough~

Before a look of joy could even appear on Shituo Wang's face, he realized that what blocked him further ahead was no longer the folded space-time barrier from before, but a kind of inexplicable power.

Deep, heavy, and indestructible.

"World projection?"

Shituo Wang's expression immediately turned ugly.

He had not expected that this Yuanlong would also cultivate the path of an Inner World. Moreover, to his eyes, it was at the very least a Small Thousand World.

It was truly inconceivable~ He remembered that this Yuanlong was not very old, yet he actually had the energy to nurture an Inner World.

Damn it, I hate the filthy rich the most!

Although Shituo Wang had no sect elders, he possessed his own fortuitous encounters, and thus he knew the critical points of the Inner World path.

This was a bottomless pit.

No amount of cultivation resources was enough to fill it.

To elevate an Inner World to a Small Thousand World would consume enough resources to stack up three or five of him.

"That's right, it is indeed a world projection!"

Fang Longye stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep as the sea, unfathomable.

His entire aura erupted suddenly, rising layer by layer, rushing into the clouds, blotting out the sky and sun, driving a torrent of Dharma, the heavy pressure feeling almost tangible.

A world projection contains nothing else but the most pure Dharma and principles derived from the entire Inner World.

Grand and majestic, brilliant and vast.

Any other power entering it would have only one consequence: to be an enemy of the entire Inner World, unable to take a single step.

Entering its domain is like being an enemy of the entire state.

What's more, this world projection was bolstered by Fang Longye's own power.

It could be said that at this moment, what Shituo Wang faced was not just Fang Longye, a Taiyi Loose Immortal, but a combination of Fang Longye and a Small Thousand World.

How could Shituo Wang easily break through that? Seeing this, Shituo Wang did not seek to overcome strength with force again; he decisively pointed a finger, and a wisp of deep black Qi surged from behind him.

It suddenly unfurled like a dark mandala, supporting a black altar in the center, round on the inside and square on the outside, upon which lay a strange arrow, appearing as if it were there and yet not.

The arrow trembled slightly on the altar, emitting the sound of breathing, and with every instant, it inhaled and exhaled the spiritual essence from the void.

Fang Longye looked at it and felt extremely uncomfortable, as if one more glance would bring disaster upon him.

This was the power of sacrifice and a Curse.

Once tainted, it was very difficult to shake off.

He had not expected that while Shituo Wang appeared to follow the path of suppressing others with force in a grand and majestic manner, he possessed such sinister methods.

Then again, he was from the 【Divine Immortal Path】 after all.

Thinking this in his heart, his hands did not hesitate in the slightest; he immediately summoned the Profound Spirit Escape Armor, which spun ceaselessly in the void above his head.

"The Dragon Lord previously said, 'As if it were that easy'? I wish to return those words to the Dragon Lord~"

Seeing Fang Longye summon the 'Profound Spirit Escape Armor', a Merit Spiritual Treasure, Shituo Wang's eyes merely flickered; he was unhurried and very calm.

He even had the leisure to call out to him, clearly very confident in this method of his.

*Zheng*— Before Shituo Wang's voice had even faded, he waved his hand, and the arrow hovering above him shot out across the air, erupting with terrifying power.

Fang Longye felt as if everything before his eyes had been twisted away, and even the world projection he had radiated all around was directly annihilated.

Before it had even descended, it had already been completely broken.

Before his eyes remained only this sharp arrow, carrying a thick scent of sacrifice and a Curse.

All he could see were the profound and deep patterns engraved on the arrow shaft, full of black-green color, permeating with an aura of death.

And on the arrowhead, dense rules of extinction were intertwined, appearing almost tangible.

That destruction, slaughter, and death—as the arrow flew toward him, it made his heart tremble involuntarily.

"Sunset Divine Arrow?"

Now a Taiyi Loose Immortal, Fang Longye was no longer some novice.

He would not be like when he encountered the Dapeng Bird in the past, where he did not even know the origin of the Soul Extinguishing Arrow he used and needed his opponent to remind him.

Coupled with the replica of the Sun-Shooting Bow in Yang Chan's hands, it was not as if he hadn't toyed with it before.

Combining all these things, he could feel that familiar scent from this arrow.

The scent of the 'Sunset Divine Arrow' that was used in tandem with the 'Sun-Shooting Bow'!

Although it was quite twisted and changed compared to his impression, after so many years, that was normal.

Sure enough~

Following the arrow, in the void surrounding this lethal shot, an incomparably majestic figure emerged.

His skin was bronze-colored, his waist wrapped in an apron made of some unknown beast hide, his hair tied up loosely, and his eyes were brilliant and bright, surpassing the sun, moon, and stars.

Even after countless ages, and even though rumors said the other party had long since fallen, a mere projection was enough to glimpse the peerless grace of the one who once drew his bow to shoot down the nine suns in the sky!

Among the Witch Clan, the greatest Great Witch beneath the Twelve Ancestral Witches—Dayi! This arrow was, shockingly, one of those nine Sunset Divine Arrows that had once shot down the nine suns!

Moreover, unlike the Sun-Shooting Bow in Yang Chan's hands, which is a replica pieced together from fragments, this is the original divine arrow shot by Dayi.

It is unknown where this Shituo Wang obtained it.

Although it is somewhat damaged, he used some unknown method; once activated, it can actually trigger the mark left by Dayi between heaven and earth.

What kind of existence was Dayi? As the number one Great Witch under the Twelve Ancestral Witches back then, he was enough to rival a Great Divine Ability user, and he is absolutely not something a mere Daluo can compare to.

Such an existence—even if it is just a trace of a brand—cannot be underestimated.

No, to be precise, it is enough to pose a life-threatening danger to Fang Longye, who only uses the Profound Spirit Escape Armor for protection.

Simply because,

This is the power of Houyi, and even more so, the might of the Sun-Setting Arrow.

Even if it is far from its peak state, killing an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal is like child's play.

One can only say that any figure who can make a name for themselves is not that simple.

When all is said and done, Shituo Wang is, after all, one of the future Seven Great Sages, even if he only left a few strokes in Journey to the West.

At this moment, Fang Longye no longer holds back, wearing all the Jiaolong relics on his body.

The "Golden Silk Eight-Treasure Sky-Piercing Crown" lands on his head of its own accord, the "Jiaolong Four-Phase Universe Armor" appears on his body, and on his feet are the "Cloud-Ascending Escape Lotus Silk Boots."

The "Sun and Moon Radiance Washing Vault Robe" drapes behind him like a cloak, rustling like a gale.

The Yu Emperor Cauldron, Yu Emperor Stele, and other Merit Spiritual Treasures release a brilliant light of Xuanhuang Merit, protecting him tightly.

This sequence of movements takes only a flash of lightning, leaving Shituo Wang twitching the corners of his mouth.

Damn it, what a rich bastard! Of course,

If that were all, it would not show his methods. Fang Longye laughs loudly: "Good fortune, good fortune! I thank the Lion King for sending such a treasure; this lord will graciously accept it!"

After speaking, he first activates the "Profound Spirit Escape Armor," lightly swipes, tears open a spatial rift, and turns to step into it. Do not misunderstand, he is not trying to flee.

In fact, once the Sun-Setting Divine Arrow is out, even if he wanted to flee, it would be useless.

This Sun-Setting Divine Arrow is a great killing weapon refined by the Witch Clan in the past using great Dharma; once it locks onto a target, it will draw the Aura into it, turning it into karma.

Once karma is formed, in heaven or on earth, in any time or space, it is an endless pursuit until death.

It can be said that this Sun-Setting Divine Arrow has long since locked onto him, and it is not something that can be avoided by traversing the void.

His move is entirely to shift the battlefield to the Outer Void, so as to avoid causing irreparable destruction to the surrounding world.

When all is said and done, the two are merely having a dispute of spirit, not a life-and-death struggle.

He can still attend to these things.

If it were truly a fight to the death, Fang Longye and Shituo Wang would likely have gone for the kill from the start.

……

The surroundings are vast, cold, and silent.

Occasionally, stars fall, trailing tails behind them, the long tail-glow illuminating all directions, bright for a moment.

As the stars pass, the remaining light turns from bright to dim, with only a little left.

Suddenly, a loud boom echoes, and vast, mighty power crisscrosses.

Amidst the brilliant divine light, a handsome man, elegant as jade and heroic, holding a divine spear, shifts through the air to this Outer Void.

His armor, cloak, and footwear are all of the same style, with silver-white as the base and gold silk forming patterns all over his body.

The whole person is awe-inspiring.

Before he can even stand still, a divine arrow filled with boundless killing intent follows, annihilating time and space as it comes.

It comes aggressively, an endless pursuit until death.

Roar—a dragon's roar, like a high-pitched horn on the battlefield, enters directly into one's spirit platform.

An ancient Aura is ignited from the entire set of armor, condensed and unyielding, carrying unparalleled iron-bloodedness and slaughter.

With the Jiaolong Armor on his body, the Bloodline within Fang Longye boils, his hot blood surging, giving rise to a high-spirited fighting spirit, wanting to fight heaven and earth.

Looking at the Sun-Setting Divine Arrow heading straight for him, he ignores it, abandoning his initial plan to use a Spirit Treasure to restrain it.

Relying on his various Spirit Treasures for protection, he reaches out his palm into a claw and heads straight to meet it.

"Fall for me!"

Needle against wheat-awn, they clash head-on.

Two overwhelming powers: one is the Sun-Setting Divine Arrow that was able to shoot down the Great Sun Golden Crow in the past, which even in its damaged state still has the sharp spirit to sweep away everything; the other is an Innate Divine Dragon who is a dual cultivator of Dharma and body, has stepped into Taiyi, and even possesses an Inner World.

The collision of the two is no different from a great collision of heaven and earth~

Boom! Boom! Boom! The powers collide, and the aftermath forms star rings of varying sizes, spreading from the inside out in all directions.

Countless meteors and meteorites, spectacular and intense.

The primordial star closest to Fang Longye is affected, directly annihilated into dust, and disappears into the Outer Void.

"It really is the legendary Sun-Setting Divine Arrow~"

Powerful! Fang Longye, in this head-on collision, has already felt the might of this divine arrow.

He discovers that the destructive power coming from the arrow is irresistible; not only does it have lethal killing power, but the attached sacrificial and Curse power is also like a maggot on a tarsal bone, very difficult to deal with.

Having collided for only this short while, he has suffered a considerable loss.

Fortunately, he was just impulsive earlier; relying solely on his own body to clash head-on, he is indeed not strong enough, but using a Spirit Treasure to restrain it is another matter.

"Halt!"

As a thought arises in Fang Longye, a small bronze pot appears on his palm; it is the new "Refining Immortal Pot" that has melted the Juntian Divine Pot into it.

Immediately, he opens it, and it erupts with unparalleled starlight; from the halo, one after another phantom stars emerge, turning into the Small Zhou Tian Star Array, sealing the Sun-Setting Divine Arrow.

Although this Sun-Setting Divine Arrow is terrifying, it is not in its peak state after all, and it is not being used in conjunction with the Sun-Shooting Bow, so it naturally cannot resist his restraint.

Mission accomplished~

Fang Longye puts away the "Refining Immortal Pot," raises his eyes to look at Shituo Wang, who has also arrived in the Outer Void, and smiles: "Still want to fight?"

Shituo Wang held a wrought iron staff, golden and brilliant; with the slightest shake, the entire void trembled.

"If you have the ability, compare martial arts with me!"

Shituo Wang looked at the handsome Dragon Lord before him, knowing he likely could not truly defeat his opponent, yet he gritted his teeth and spoke.

Fang Longye smiled; this was a case of being convinced in heart but not in speech! I understand~

"Then come again!"

Cuiyun Mountain, Yuhua Cave.

Above the clear ripples of the pond, the sky's light shone down, golden rays dancing, a sight full of joy.

Immortal lotus flowers bloomed, lush and fragrant.

The scent lingered all around, soaking into the people's Dharma robes.

It was because after Fang Longye and Shituo Wang had fled from Cuiyun Mountain, the group had come to this lotus pond to sit, watching the battle while waiting for the outcome of their duel.

"Niu Mowang, does Fang Lang's strength satisfy you?" Yang Chan sneered.

At this moment, everyone was looking at the scene within a suspended precious mirror. The mirror's light reflected the battle between Fang Longye and the other in the starry sky beyond the realm.

Yang Chan's sudden remark caused Niu Mowang to freeze, then he immediately realized that his thoughts had likely been seen through by the Three Holy Mothers.

He gave a sheepish laugh and brushed it off: "Yuanlong's strength is truly unfathomable; I fear that in a little while, Shituo will be defeated~"

Yang Chan looked at Niu Mowang with a smile that was not quite a smile and said: "A reminder for you: women are the best at deceiving people. Be careful!"

"What do you mean by that!"

How could Tie Shan not understand such veiled criticism?

In an instant, she was so angry her lungs felt like they would burst! I, this lady, wasn't even planning to provoke you, yet you come over to ruin my good deeds? "What I mean, you know yourself~"

Yang Chan cast her gaze toward Tie Shan, revealing a meaningful smile.

It could not help but make Tie Shan's heart skip a beat.

Could it be? Could it be that this Three Holy Mothers really saw through my purpose for coming to Cuiyun Mountain? That shouldn't be, right?

Although this Three Holy Mothers is already a Taiyi Golden Immortal, even this stupid ox beside me hasn't noticed that there is another mystery to Cuiyun Mountain.

How did she see it?

Could it be that this Three Holy Mothers and that little thief also came to this Cuiyun Mountain for the soon-to-be-born remnant root of the Innate Plantain Tree?

If that is the case, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Or am I overthinking it?

For a moment, thoughts swirled in Tie Shan's mind.

However, even though her heart was filled with restless, tangled thoughts.

On the surface, she still maintained an expression of indignation as a cover.

"Haha!"

Niu Mowang only thought that these two immortals were competing again, his brows immediately twitching as he hurriedly mediated: "Three Holy Mothers, you jest! I am but a rough man, what is there for anyone to covet?"

Yang Chan glanced at him and said indifferently: "Then just take it that I am joking!"

Good words cannot persuade a ghost destined to die.

Since you do not believe me, you deserve to lose such a significant opportunity on your own territory~ (End of chapter)
