Chapter 501: Decisive Battle (Part 6)
At this moment, the Master let out a muffled groan from beneath his black robe! Perhaps it was because his anger had reached its peak! His body trembled incessantly, and even the Samsara Dharma Disk before him shook along with it!
Now, even if Zhang Nuo were willing to step aside, it would be of no use! Shenjian Peak had been leveled to the ground; the foundation he had painstakingly built over so many years had been reduced to ashes following the brilliant radiance of the two Golden Cores!
Watching the somewhat distracted Master, Zhang Nuo did not pause for even a moment! This was an opportunity! An opportunity that Lin Fan and Xiao Jingxuan had exchanged their lives for!
With a movement of his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo simultaneously flicked out four Dharma techniques, which merged into the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set before him! One could see the Measuring Heaven Ruler, Heaven Splitting Scissors, Heaven Opening Axe, and Heaven Breaking Hammer all shining with immense light, like small suns!
Whoosh! The Measuring Heaven Ruler moved first; the small ruler flashed with silver light and flew directly into the high sky. The ruler body flickered and transformed into four, and as they crisscrossed, the four small rulers formed a square! Following the flickering of the silver light, this square expanded continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the end, the sky enclosed by the small rulers was several dozen miles wide! In an instant, the sky above the heads of Zhang Nuo and the Master changed color, a deep azure that made one feel as if they were deep at the bottom of the sea! The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi all around rippled outward! Tiny specks of light were vaguely visible!
On the other hand, the Dharma seal in Zhang Nuo's hands changed again, and the Heaven Splitting Scissors flew into the sky, transforming into five-colored clouds that turned the entire sky enclosed by the Measuring Heaven Ruler into a gorgeous array of colors. The sky, which had just been azure, was now paved with rainbows!
The color in the sky changed once more, which caught the Master's attention. Previously, he had been immersed in the destruction of the Divine Peak, but when he suddenly looked up, he discovered that the sky seemed to have produced a strange phenomenon! He looked down at Zhang Nuo and saw that in Zhang Nuo's hands, he held a golden hammer in one and a small cyan axe in the other! Both Magic Treasures were glowing brilliantly, and violent power continuously emanated from them!
"Ants! You are all just ants!"
Although he sensed the anomaly around him, the enraged Master had almost lost his former composure and reason! He roared at Zhang Nuo incessantly, venting the stifled energy within his heart!
"We are ants! But it is these ants that have destroyed everything of yours! So what if you are a clone of Zhuanlun Wang! Today, I, Zhang, want to see for myself!"
The deaths of Lin Fan and Xiao Jingxuan were also a huge blow to Zhang Nuo. Since entering the Divine Sword Sect, only his master had been truly sincere toward him! It is no exaggeration to say that without Lin Fan, there would be no Zhang Nuo today!
Lin Fan's mission was already complete! He believed that even in death, he would be smiling! Now it was up to him! Whoever the Master before him was, it no longer mattered to Zhang Nuo! Even if he were the King of Heaven, he would have to die today!
As soon as Zhang Nuo's words fell, he raised both hands and struck the hammer in one hand heavily against the Heaven Opening Axe in the other!
"Boom!"
The moment the two Magic Treasures collided, a loud sound rang out. At the same time, a surge of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi erupted violently around Zhang Nuo's body, causing his entire frame to shudder! Simultaneously, a cyan axe-light shot out from the Heaven Opening Axe and slashed directly toward the multicolored sky!
A rumbling sound echoed once more, but this time it came from high above! Within the sky enclosed by the Measuring Heaven Ruler, ripples emerged, just like a stone being thrown into a calm lake!
The Master felt that at this moment, the heavens and earth were trembling, as if the sky were about to collapse! He secretly thought, "Not good," realizing that this move of Zhang Nuo's must contain immense power. If he did not kill Zhang Nuo early, perhaps he would not be able to withstand it at all!
Thinking of this, the Master moved his body, his black robe flapping loudly, and he turned into a black streak of light as he charged toward Zhang Nuo!
Sweeping his gaze, Zhang Nuo discovered the Master's movement, but he was not worried; this had long been within his expectations. However, he had also just recovered from the massive backlash of the hammer and axe colliding. The power of this strike was difficult even for the caster to endure!
With the four wings on his back moving in unison, Zhang Nuo vanished from the spot. By the time the Master charged over, the place was empty. Turning his head to look into the distance, he saw Zhang Nuo just reappearing, and at the same time, the two Magic Treasures in his hands collided once again!
"Boom!"
This time, it was even more intense than the previous one. The Heaven Breaking Hammer bloomed with dazzling golden light, the hammerhead gathering a vast amount of power as it struck heavily against the "Heaven Opening Axe"!
In contrast, the Heaven Opening Axe shone with brilliant cyan light. Then, as the hammer struck the axe body, an axe-light several yards long was cleaved out! It struck the sky once again!
Following the attack of this axe-light, the sky changed its appearance instantly! The entire sky looked like shattered glass, with countless cracks appearing! Streaks of golden clouds shone through the gaps, emitting a scent of holiness and serenity!
Zhang Nuo's body was struck by a beam of golden light, and he felt that the golden light contained infinitely massive energy; even with his physical body, it was impossible to support it for very long!
At this moment, the Master charged over once again! He drove the rapidly spinning Samsara Dharma Disk, letting out roars like a wild beast, truly wanting to tear Zhang Nuo into pieces!
As the wings behind Zhang Nuo vibrated, he vanished into the void! And this time, the distance Zhang Nuo flew was extremely far, even reaching the edge of the enclosed sky!
"Master! Goodbye!"
Looking coldly at the Master beneath the sky that was about to shatter, Zhang Nuo no longer had any hesitation in his heart! He spread his hands apart, and the power of heaven and earth was gathering toward the two Magic Treasures in his hands. The infinite power made the Heaven Breaking Hammer and Heaven Opening Axe swell until they were almost about to explode! Even the hands Zhang Nuo used to grasp them became translucent!
"Boom!"
When the two Magic Treasures collided once again, a cyan beam of light shot out from the Heaven Opening Axe and landed directly on the sky that was about to shatter! This strike became the final straw that broke the camel's back!
The sky within a radius of several dozen miles collapsed instantly! Ten thousand rays of golden light poured out, rushing toward the ground like grains of golden sand!
The power of the golden light exceeded the scope of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, and its magnitude was something Zhang Nuo had never seen before! This kind of power was enough to destroy an entire Xian Mountain! And it was the kind that would level it to the ground!
One could imagine how the Master, caught beneath the vast golden light, felt! The golden light sprinkled down rapidly; no matter how fast his movement technique was, it was absolutely impossible to escape this area!
Swish! A beam of golden light grazed past the Master. It did not land directly on his body, but even so, the Master's black robe could not withstand the powerful force of the golden light and was torn into dust with a ripping sound!
Terrified, the Master sacrificed the Samsara Dharma Disk above his head to block the golden light rushing toward him! At the same time, his body flew rapidly toward the distant sky, wanting to escape this place!
Ten thousand rays of golden light shone onto the small beast on the Dharma Disk, causing it to let out shrill, miserable howls! The Dharma Disk it held in its mouth was still spinning rapidly, as if it were trying to find a way to escape from it!
But everything was in vain. In the face of the sacred golden light, the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi had been scattered; what power did it have left to activate the Dharma Disk?
With a rumbling loud sound, a relatively thick beam of golden light struck heavily against the Samsara Dharma Disk! It caused the disk, which had been spinning at high speed, to stop instantly! The Master below was shocked! He supported the descending Dharma Disk with one hand, but his body did not stop flying for even a moment!
Several more beams of golden light smashed onto the Samsara Dharma Disk! The Master's body was also severely wounded time and again! With a "puff," a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, and as soon as it touched the golden light, it vanished into nothingness!
Seeing this scene, the Master became even more afraid! This was the first time since coming to the Human Realm that he had felt the threat of death! A fear that rose from the bottom of his heart! Helpless, irresistible!
Zhang Nuo watched the fleeing Master! A smile finally appeared on his face, though a trail of blood also flowed from the corner of his mouth! The backlash from that final strike that shattered the sky was powerful, and it had also caused him no small amount of internal injury!
"Boom!"
As the ten thousand rays of golden light in the sky converged together, forming a golden pillar of light several yards thick, it struck heavily against the Samsara Dharma Disk!
The Master and the Dharma Disk were instantly struck down to the ground, forming a bottomless pit several dozen yards wide! Finally, the last beam of golden light descended, and the sky gradually recovered its color! The Magic Treasures of the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set also returned to Zhang Nuo's hands! One could see that cracks of varying degrees had appeared on the surfaces of these Magic Treasures!
They emitted a dim light, as if they had lost all their Spiritual Qi! It seemed the records in the Jade Slip were not wrong! Every time the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set was used, it would cause severe damage to the Magic Treasures themselves, making it impossible to manifest them a second time in an instant!
At the same time, Zhang Nuo's body was also heavily shaken by the backlash. With his current cultivation, even in his prime, it would be impossible to manifest this kind of divine ability twice in succession!
With a flash of light in his hands, the four Magic Treasures vanished simultaneously. Zhang Nuo looked down into the deep pit on the ground; at a glance, it was full of darkness, and white mist continued to rise from around the pit!
Just as he moved his body, Zhang Nuo felt as if all the bones in his body had shattered. He gritted his teeth; it seemed the backlash power of the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set was even greater than he had imagined. It had been fine just now while floating quietly in the air!
The phantom image of the Underworld King above his body had long since exhausted its power and vanished. With the four wings on his back vibrating, Zhang Nuo slowly approached the edge of the huge deep pit!
The only thing he wanted to confirm now was whether the Master was dead! The power of that final strike that shattered the sky was so great that if it had landed on Zhang Nuo, he would have had no chance of survival either! No wonder the Immortal Illusion Continent of that time had almost classified the Sacrificial Heaven Four-Piece Set as a forbidden technique!
Standing at the edge of the pit, Zhang Nuo released his Divine Sense to scan the bottom of the pit! A long time passed before his Divine Sense finally reached the bottom! Suddenly, his expression changed, and an ominous thought surfaced in his heart!
