Chapter 118

Immediately, a relatively stable patch of Void in the distance was torn open like a curtain, and a Dark Shadow stepped out.

That was a middle-aged man wearing robes embroidered with the Jun family's unique cloud-pattern star motif, his visage stern, his eyes sharp as a hawk, and an aura vast as the sea and unfathomably deep emanating from his whole body.

The moment he appeared, his gaze fell directly upon that primordial era heroic spirit and the dark-gold great halberd in its hand, a flash of undisguised fervor and greed crossing his eyes.

He spared no glance for the heavily wounded War Prince and Ye Wuque below, as if they were nothing but insignificant dust.

He casually extended a large hand, fingers splayed, and reached out to seize the primordial era heroic spirit that was about to lunge and kill.

As his palm shot out, it rapidly expanded; within it seemed to swirl the sun, moon, and stars, myriad laws submitting, and an overwhelming great power that could grasp heaven and earth and seize all things erupted explosively, instantly enveloping that primordial era heroic spirit.

Ye Wuque and the War Prince, who were about to give their all, saw this and their hearts involuntarily relaxed, thinking that with a supreme expert intervening, they might escape calamity.

But immediately, their faces changed slightly again.

Because the insignia on the attacker's robe unmistakably marked him as a member of the Jun family.

The War Prince's heart skipped a beat, and he silently cursed, "Not good!"

He did not believe that the Jun family's mighty expert had appeared now to save them from fire and water; the other's target was obvious—the dark-gold great halberd with boundless power—the War God Halberd.

Indeed, it was exactly as the War Prince had anticipated.

Though the primordial era heroic spirit relied on obsession and instinct to be ferociously unmatched, enough to crush the younger generation, to a true mighty expert—especially one from the Jun family with deep foundations, an ancient entity—it posed no real threat, for it had long since fallen in the ages, its strength reduced to a fraction of what it once was.

Only see the Jun family magnate's large hand descend, as if containing the ultimate principle of heaven and earth; endless runes of law flickered, forming divine chains of order that instantly wound around the primordial era heroic spirit, tightly binding it.

The primordial era heroic spirit struggled wildly, its scarlet eyes glaring furiously at the Jun family mighty expert, letting out a silent roar; the dark-gold great halberd trembled violently, bursting forth halberd light that tried to tear the bonds, but before the absolute disparity in strength, all was in vain.

The Jun family mighty expert snorted coldly and clenched his five fingers fiercely!

Crack!

The divine chains of order wrapped around the heroic spirit tightened instantly, and an irresistible terrifying force acted upon the heroic spirit's withered body!

Boom!!

The primordial era heroic spirit's body, already riddled with Liewen, could no longer withstand this vast great power; it exploded explosively, turning into a sky-full of dark-gold specks of light that finally dissipated completely between heaven and earth, leaving only a silent sigh filled with the unwillingness and resentment of myriad ages, which slowly drifted away.

And that dark-gold great halberd, having lost its support, was snatched from the air by the Jun family magnate and landed lightly in his hand.

The Jun family magnate grasped the halberd, carefully feeling the ancient, overbearing to the extreme vibration transmitted from the shaft; the fervor in his eyes deepened, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"What a fine halberd! It is indeed a counterfeit of the legendary Epoch Heavy Weapon... although merely a replica, its power and material far surpass ordinary Immortal Divine Weapons! This trip... was not in vain!"

His tone carried satisfaction and delight, as if the War God Halberd were already his to keep.

The War Prince endured his injuries, struggled to his feet, and cupped his fists toward the Jun family mighty expert in the sky; though his face was pale, his tone remained neither humble nor arrogant:

"I am the junior War Heaven Qiong of the War God Heavenly Hall, and I have paid respects to the Jun family seniors. Senior, this halberd is called the War God Halberd; it is an important holy relic handed down from the ancestors of my War God Heavenly Hall, lost for long, and I have been sent to retrieve it... yet you simply take it— is that not somewhat improper?"

However, the Jun family mighty expert seemed not to have heard his words at all, not even lifting an eyelid, still admiring the War God Halberd in his hand, completely treating the War Prince as if he were air.

Having finished his appraisal, he turned and prepared to tear open the Void and depart.

"Senior!!"

The War Prince, seeing this, grew anxious and raised his voice, "You can't do this! This truly is our hall's holy relic!"

Unfortunately, his shout had no effect on the Jun family mighty expert who was determined to seize the treasure.

The mighty's dignity tolerates no questioning from a junior.

The War Prince was anxious beyond measure, gritting his teeth in secret:

"Why hasn't the Elder of the hall arrived yet?!"

The ancient talisman he had previously crushed was precisely the War God Heavenly Hall's special communication and positioning token; logically, the strong ones nearby in the hall should have sensed it and rushed over as quickly as possible.

Just as the Jun family mighty expert was about to step into the spatial rift—

Boom!!

Above the Nine Heavens, without warning, another enormous hand, covered in dark-gold divine metal gauntlets and coiled with surging battle intent and killing aura, tore through layer after layer of space as if reaching from the endless distance, carrying the terrifying power to shatter the firmament of myriad ages, and without hesitation, it grabbed fiercely at the Jun family mighty expert.
