Chapter 325: One Battle Annihilates the Royal City!

Sword Canon Secret Manual【Heavy Sword Collapses Mountain】

Originally thought that this sword strike would directly cripple that fifth-rank wizard, even directly shatter the opponent's transcendent state.

As a result, this sword strike missed; the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman felt utterly stifled in his heart.

That sword was clearly both fast and urgent.

He could be certain that he himself could absolutely not dodge it.

Result!

That wizard, with just a simple pass, dodged it.

Just so unadorned, just so simple.

This made the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman feel foolish.

If one cannot hit the enemy, what use is even the strongest swordsmanship?

"This damned fifth-rank wizard, how is he so agile?"

At this moment, the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman's heart surged with rushing anger.

No matter how you say it, he is also a strong one who has stepped into the high-level standard.

How could he be played around by a fifth-rank wizard?

When the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman again stepped with sword steps, following that shadow's trace to pursue and kill.

"Gah—"

The crow's screech instantly flooded his visual pupils, flooded deep into his soul.

"Not good!"

Knowing the wizard's methods were strange and unpredictable, the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman wanted to dodge but it was already too late.

"Bang bang!"

Deep within the strangely beating heart, it seemed as if a crow was stirring.

After the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman's ink-like strange armor underwent a violent undulation.

"Peng!"

The seventh-rank transcendent swordsman's head, like brilliant fireworks, directly exploded.

"Whoosh—"

The blood-colored swaying flock-of-crows flame replaced the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman's head.

"Gah gah gah gah—"

Vast numbers of crows, from the exploded seventh-rank transcendent swordsman scattering everywhere, surged wildly from the burning skull remnants, like a crow flood.

"Huh?"

Ta Ke's pupils reflected that ink-like strange armor.

Originally Ta Ke planned to directly blast open the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman's transcendent state, then use the flock-of-crows flame to quickly decompose and digest its transcendent state.

As a result, that seventh-rank transcendent swordsman's strange armor unexpectedly blocked and absorbed much of the attack; ultimately, Ta Ke only blasted open the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman's head.

Having his head blasted, his soul annihilated, even affecting his transcendent state and transcendent will, the seventh-rank transcendent swordsman did not die.

Instead, supported by that strange black armor, he stood half-transparent like a candle flame in midair, even maintaining an attacking posture.

【Terror-grade】Sealed Object, Sai Er Si Forbidden Raven End-of-View

With one strike, it quickly disabled this seventh-rank transcendent swordsman in a short time.

However, at this moment Ta Ke also felt that this seventh-rank transcendent swordsman's transcendent state was—top-tier elite.

For high-rank transcendent beings, they have already aligned with the 【World Origin】, and are qualified to draw upon the high-end power of 【World Star Pattern】.

Top-tier elite also have six to seven times the vitality tolerance, and that strange black armor still resists the follow-up attacks of the End-of-View; it cannot be killed in a moment.

"Hiss—"

Containing extreme cold deathly aura, as it appeared behind Ta Ke, a hiss like from the depths of the necrotic abyss also emerged.

A deathly giant serpent bit at Ta Ke's soul.

Human transcendent beings, because they themselves step by step emerge from the "corporeal state" and "soul state".

Therefore, many means of human wizards are closely related to the "soul", even transcendent will is linked to the "soul".

Attacking the soul can greatly restrict spellcasting-type transcendent beings.

The illusory deathly shadow serpent, in one bite, encompassed Ta Ke's entire body.

Bringing it back, however, it was merely a fourth-rank soul curtain shadow.

Nowadays, Ta Ke, who has advanced to fifth rank as a champion, has extremely strong carrying capacity.

"Soul Curtain Shadow" this kind of soul-restraining method, Ta Ke has stockpiled many.

Accompanying the deathly giant serpent's attack.

"Gurgle—"

Ta Ke's body's rune·Earth Shield, green bubble poison mist continuously.

Even that strange toxin seeped into Ta Ke's shield interior.

"Woo— whoosh—"

Amidst the roaring steam, Ta Ke's 【Lord·Ancient·Blazing Flame State】 also burst forth.

The strange poison mist was scorched by Ta Ke's flames, making a sizzling sound.

Lord aura!

When feeling the lord aura emanating from that fifth-rank wizard's body.

The three bishop wizards all felt their hearts sink slightly, their faces began to look grim.

Lord-rank transcendent lifeforms are quite difficult to kill.

Even a fifth‑rank wizard is already very troublesome, and they have roughly guessed this fifth‑rank wizard's identity.

But even so, the magical spells in their hands did not cease their attacks at all.

Losing this war means heading for national annihilation, so they naturally would not retreat an iota.

Several powerful spells struck Ta Ke's body.

Ta Ke was not idle either.

"Gagaga…"

As large swaths burst open simultaneously.

"Hwalalala…"

The scorching flock‑raven flames, as hot as a dragon's breath, pursued the three wizards at once.

The three bishop wizards, seeing this, withdrew while searching for a chance to resume their attack.

Ta Ke, having forced the three back, took a deep breath.

【Dragon Breath·Eclipse Arrow】

Ta Ke thrust his right arm straight out, like a truth‑longbow, fully drawn and charged.

The Demon Ring Staff responded in kind.

【Precision·High‑Dimensional·Correction】

【Phase】

Aim!

Ta Ke aimed at the oldest, highest‑ranked Gu‑poison wizard among the three.

That fellow posed the greatest threat to Ta Ke.

In a second, as expected, the old Gu‑poison wizard immediately sensed the danger.

When attacking, the old fellow was exceedingly ruthless; when fleeing, he was equally slick.

His body instantly transformed into seven or eight "flying‑winged snakes".

These flying‑winged snakes bore teal scales and black feathers.

Each appeared to be a part of that old Gu‑poison wizard.

Many veteran sixth‑rank old wizards, hopeless of promotion, specialize in formidable techniques.

What a pity!

This sixth‑rank Gu‑poison old wizard's methods have little effect before Ta Ke.

Under Ta Ke's High‑Dimensional Vision lock, these flashy concealment tricks are utterly useless.

"I see you; you can't run away."

Single‑target forbidden spell; if you can't endure it, you die.

"Buzz!"

The space trembled slightly.

At the instant 【Dragon Breath·Eclipse Arrow】 left the string, it poured directly into the old Gu‑poison wizard's core.

The five‑star forbidden spell 【Dragon Breath·Eclipse Arrow】 further pierced his transcendent state, shooting straight into his Gu‑poison wizard Sequence Tree.

"Hummm…"

The sixth‑rank wizard's Sequence Tree was directly dismembered and collapsed by Ta Ke's forbidden‑spell arrow.

The Sequence Tree is the core within a transcendent's core.

And as the second‑stage single‑target forbidden spell of the destructive Dragon Breath curse, it kills the transcendent's Sequence Tree.

"No…"

The old Gu‑poison wizard's face showed horror as he instantly shed the flying‑winged snake form, letting out a fierce roar.

The outstretched palm quickly mutated, cracking into blackened charcoal, then spreading over his arm and body with a crackling sound.

In an instant, the old Gu‑poison wizard became a charcoal sculpture.

A veteran sixth‑rank old wizard.

Was slain by Ta Ke's forbidden‑spell arrow.

"Lao Luoya, did he just… die?"

Two wizards far away avoided the flock‑raven flames.

They examined the Gu‑poison wizard "Lao Luoya", now a malformed charcoal.

The two, shielding against the flock‑raven flames, felt as if a massive stone pressed on their chests, leaving them breathless.

First, they used a powerful forbidden seal to suppress the high‑rank swordsman Mo Luo.

The weather‑worn Gu‑poison wizard "Lao Luoya" was now also broken by the fifth‑rank God‑defiler.

If the two claimed their hearts were unshaken, that would be false.

The more dangerous the situation, the more desperately the two fought.

"Shhh shhh shhh…"

A dense hail of wind bullets rained down from the sky.

Ta Ke at this moment unfurled his Steam·Light Feather, moving at extreme speed near the ground, constantly evading those attacks.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a golden great‑war hand suddenly tore the barrier between the spirit realm layer and the real realm layer, slamming down on the wind‑type wizard.

The wind‑type bishop wizard had already been on guard, swiftly flashing away to dodge the strike.

"His forbidden spell is stockpiling source energy; we should kill him now, because once his forbidden spell fully gathers within the ecological demonic net, we will be in danger."

The wind‑type forbidden spell roared low as it darted.

It must be said, this wind-system archbishop mage, who has cultivated for not a short time, is still quite keen-eyed.

Ta Ke continuously struck with the Spiritwalk Hand, but this wind-specialized sixth-rank archbishop mage was so agile it was almost unreasonable.

Combined with phase-shifting, the Spiritwalk Hand, which has spatial leap characteristics, several times Ta Ke felt he was about to strike the opponent, but this guy managed to dodge it outright.

In the past, Ta Ke was always the one flying kites for others, but this time he was the one being flown like a kite.

"This damned Spiritwalk Hand, if it were even a little agile, it wouldn't be completely unagile."

Ta Ke cursed silently.

At the same time.

"Hiss—"

Again, a cold chill welled up behind Ta Ke.

This time it was the grim reaper wielding a sickle blade.

It was the attack of the mage who had mastered the "Spirit Curse" attack method.

These two mages, one wind-system, one Spirit Curse.

They had both chosen their specializations, and they had both achieved something in those specializations.

In the midst of the slaughter, Ta Ke had already felt it.

Needless to say, wind-system, as one of the natural elements, is agile, swift, and quick.

As for Spirit Curse, it attacks through spirit-body curses, hard to defend against; once released, it basically locks on and hits, but its corresponding power is not overly strong.

It is said that high-rank Spirit Curse mages, with the aid of locking and guaranteed hit, still have quite ferocious Spirit Curses.

"Whoosh—"

The sickle blade, imbued with death and extreme cutting power, struck down again with extreme force.

On Ta Ke's body, large patches of cut soul curtain silk fluttered down.

"Save me!"

The Spirit Curse mage who had just finished casting let out a low roar and began to wail.

However, not far away in the woods, a fifth-rank Shadow Demon Spider, while this Spirit Curse mage was attacking Ta Ke, had already deployed its divine ability 【Spider Web Capture】 to capture that Spirit Curse mage.

From the start of the slaughter, Ta Ke had released the Shadow Demon Spider Lord, letting it look for an opportunity to attack.

At this moment, using its divine ability, it actually earned considerable merit.

That wind mage still wanted to go rescue, but was tightly pursued by Ta Ke's Spiritwalk Hand.

They fought again for a moment.

He felt the five-star forbidden spell 【Dragon Breath·Star Eclipse Arrow】 beginning to condense.

Ta Ke first put on himself a shield of the Rune·Earth Turtle Shell.

Then he activated the Demon Bracelet again, drawing back the forbidden spell's bow.

"Hummm..."

The surrounding layered spaces were all gathered and contracted by Ta Ke's charging.

As Ta Ke drew the bow, the archbishop wind mage's face suddenly darkened.

He quickly threw several wind blades at Ta Ke, then turned and fled without looking back.

"You want to escape now? It's probably too late!" Ta Ke sneered.

【Precision·High-Dimensional·Correction】

Phase, aim, shoot!

After completing the whole procedure.

The forbidden spell 【Dragon Breath·Star Eclipse Arrow】 burst forth.

The wind mage far away, who had spread his wind wings to flee, fell in response.

Upon falling, he likewise turned into the remnants of a sequence collapse—his flesh and soul mutated into charred coal.

After shooting down the wind mage, Ta Ke glanced at the seventh-rank swordsman who was under control but still offering some resistance.

He also glanced at the sixth-rank Spirit Curse mage who had begun to be wrapped in shadow spider silk by the Shadow Demon Spider.

Feeling the Demon Bracelet on his wrist, Ta Ke exhaled lightly.

Fortunately he had many means; otherwise, facing this gang assault, he would indeed be somewhat flustered.

After a moment's thought, Ta Ke spoke lightly.

"Hiding sneakily to the side."

"I thought you were going to attack me!"

As Ta Ke's words fell, not far away, the half-collapsed, burning manor outside the city, the dark corner of the ruined wall.

A dark silhouette emerged.

The visitor turned out to be "Pu Te·Ya Bo".

Pu Te·Ya Bo, immersed in the dark state, showed no discernible expression.

But at this moment, deep within Pu Te·Ya Bo's heart, surging waves rose, hard to calm for a long time.

He asked himself if he was a top-tier A-rank supernatural genius, and now he was nearly fully digesting all the abilities and fundamental essence of this S-rank supernatural genius.

He could also be considered an S-rank supernatural genius.

But, facing these four experts.

Pu Te·Ya Bo believed he could win, but would definitely have to pay a considerable price.

But the blasphemer Ta Ke before him won with relative ease.

Even so, these few people joining forces didn't cause him too much trouble.

What's more frightening is that this guy was also secretly guarding against him.

「Even though both are S-rank, there is still a difference! 」

What a certain big shot once said served to truly sound the alarm for him.

「If that guy had used that powerful shooting forbidden spell on me last time, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape safely. 」

「This guy is hiding really deep! 」

The excited Pu Te·Ya Bo did not know that Ta Ke's this second forbidden spell was learned only after their fight.

「I came to support. 」Pu Te·Ya Bo said in a hoarse voice.

Ta Ke scrutinized the black-clad Pu Te·Ya Bo from head to toe.

Whether he truly came to support, Ta Ke didn't care.

But!

This guy previously did not inform the Stone Demon Statue State's ruler about the matter of the Holy Demon Statue.

At least he doesn't wear the same pants as this tottering Stone Demon Statue Empire, so it's fine.

Ta Ke doesn't mind such a seventh-rank transcendent being in a neutral state.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke began to clean up the battlefield.

The transcendent swordsman controlled by Sai Er Si·Forbidden Crow, Ta Ke directly released dragon breath, burning him to death.

As for that black armor, Ta Ke kept it, to be studied in detail later.

The sixth-rank bishop captured by the Shadow Magic Spider Lord, Ta Ke then sealed him, preparing to use him as a sixth-rank soul curtain shadow later.

While cleaning up the battlefield.

Ta Ke, meanwhile, observed the battlefield situation of the Stone Demon Statue Capital in the distance.

The sounds of killing and battle grew increasingly fierce.

The writhing of the multi-layered realms was like a storm, piercing the heavens and the earth.

But the more this happened, the more Ta Ke could feel it.

The Stone Demon Statue Capital and the Stone Demon Statue Empire are gradually stepping into the abyss of destruction.

The more fighting continues, the more severe the damage to the capital's ecology will become.

That monarch, Fei Dinan·Fei Likesi, will also grow weaker and weaker.

At the moment the Holy Demon Statue is liberated…… to be more precise, when the Stone Demon Statue Empire chooses to walk together with the Dark Sun Church, its doom is already sealed.

Even if there were not today's Holy Demon Statue liberation battle.

Ten or more years later, even several decades later.

Ta Ke promoted to eighth rank, then ninth rank, and even to Chao Shen Da Shi.

Ta Ke likewise possesses the power to destroy a nation single-handedly.

However, this time the convergence of the ancient relic context with the Ogu Double Star transcendent world has brought many strong ones.

It became the catalyst for the downfall of the Stone Demon Statue Empire.

What is accelerated is the process, not the outcome.

As the battle progresses gradually.

Transcendents began to withdraw from the Stone Demon Statue Capital battlefield area one after another.

Those withdrawing are basically members of the Sai Li Ang Si Duchy and the Three-Eyed God Church.

Occasionally there are also experts from the Stone Demon Statue Empire or the Dark Sun Church.

But their speed is extremely fast, fleeing this place at breakneck speed.

Moreover, no one easily pursued them.

Eliminating the capital is merely the first step of the war.

The second step: strong ones lead teams, sweeping across all major transcendent city-states of the Stone Demon Statue Continent, thoroughly extracting all Dark Sun power and resistance forces one by one.

This second step will take a long time.

The third step: the Three-Eyed God Church moves in, under the protection of the Holy Temple Knights, church clergy begin to preach, driving out Dark Sun pollution.

The fourth step……

Today's capital battle is merely the beginning.

To truly annihilate the Stone Demon Statue Empire in a physical sense, a long road still lies ahead.

The sun.

From the blood sun looming in the sky.

Gradually turning into the twilight day of the curtain's fall.

And deep within the Stone Demon Statue Capital, the source energy storm stirred up by the clashing of strong ones not only shows no sign of stopping, but even has a tendency to intensify further.

The forbidden disaster power that makes Ta Ke's heart palpitate is diffusing and expanding not far away within it.

And the vast areas around the capital are filled with a thick, lingering aura of blood and death.

This battle!

Although not yet ended.

Yet the Stone Demon Statue Capital has already become a one-battle dead city.

Millions of people have turned into ruins and debris, and the surrounding air is filled with death intertwined with life and blood.

「Such a battle between ninth-rank peak champions is this shocking? 」

With both eyes fixed on the battlefield situation in the depths, Ta Ke took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

At this moment, many people have gathered around Ta Ke nearby.

There are people from the Saint Roland Three-Eyed God Church, and there are people from the Pa De Lin·New Navigation Island Three-Eyed God Church.

At the same time, there are many strong ones from the Sai Li Ang Si Duchy.

Such as Ta Ke's familiar Lei Ya Ge, Bishop Ma Sha Ke La Ke, all gathered here.

There are nearly a hundred people.

These people, some are recovering from injuries, some are resting with eyes closed, and some are quietly watching the battle.

As Ta Ke sighed, Lei Ya Ge beside him smiled.

"This ninth-rank peak champion powerhouse is amazing, right?"

"Then guess, after you cultivate for a hundred years, if you still haven't advanced to Chao Shen Da Shi, what would the scene be like?"

As Lei Ya Ge spoke, many people around looked over.

"Hmm... probably about the same!" Ta Ke thought and then said.

"Hehe... not just about the same; I'm afraid those few people combined might not even be your match back then." Lei Ya Ge laughed.

"Cough cough... Senior Lei Ya Ge, you're overpraising."

"Not at all overpraising."

Just then, an extremely old voice sounded slowly.

At the same time, everyone's vision blurred, and a figure appeared.

The person's figure was slightly hunched, looking very old.

On the face were deep grooves, skin like old tree bark.

The most striking thing about this old person is that they have no pupils, with sunken eye sockets.

The person is none other than the highly respected Ninth-rank Holy Bishop of Sheng Lan De, Ya Li Shi Duo De Your Excellency.

Ya Li Shi Duo De Your Excellency seems heavily injured, yet his deterrent power is astonishing.

Although they have eyes, they lack pupils.

It is said that Ya Li Shi Duo De Your Excellency saw something he shouldn't have on the Chaos Ancient Relics Continent, which caused him to lose his eyes.

But at least he preserved his life.

And many people there directly turned into dry bones.

"I have seen the Holy Bishop, your honor."

Everyone, seeing this, performed a salute.

Ya Li Shi Duo De Your Excellency, one of the three top experts besieging the national lord Fei Di Nan Fei Li Ke Si, has appeared.

Then the battle at the national capital is likely about to end.
