Chapter 77: Divine Aperture

Jun Mo Shen's expression turned cold, and the murderous glint in his eyes intensified!

At the instant the two Jun family guards were eliminated by Ye Wuque, Jun Mo Shen let out a sudden roar!

Rumble!

His figure suddenly stretched to the extreme, soaring to a hundred meters tall.

Brilliant divine radiance burst forth from his body!

It transformed into countless weapon phantasms exuding terrifying murderous intent—blades, swords, halberds, arrows, and so on, almost endless!

Covering the heavens and earth!

Pressing down toward Ye Wuque!

"Ancient War Weapon Formula!"

The Jun clan imperial lineage's famed peerless divine art!

At this moment, unleashed by Jun Mo Shen, its power swelled to the utmost!

It instantly engulfed Ye Wuque completely!

Having finished the move, Jun Mo Shen stood arrogantly in the void, his gaze disdainful, a sneering cold smile curling at his mouth!

"Can't defeat the prince of the Zhen Tian Immortal Dynasty, so I'll concede! But you, you ant... what right do you have to provoke... this is impossible!"

Jun Mo Shen's complexion changed abruptly and dramatically, as if seeing a ghost in daylight!

He let out an incredulous shout!

According to his expectation, the clueless ant before him should have already been forcefully slain by his Jun clan imperial lineage's peerless divine art!

But what he saw was...

Ye Wuque was still completely unscathed!

Of course, not entirely without any injury...

Ye Wuque looked at his tattered black robe, his gaze suddenly turning ice‑cold!

"You... ruined my clothes..."

"Next..."

"I hope you can..."

"Kill me!"

"Or!"

"Be killed by me!"

Boom!

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Ye Wuque!

He moved!

He extended a massive golden hand that spanned the heavens!

With a crushing, terrifying momentum, he pressed down on Jun Mo Shen!

The aura even flung the Heavenly Pride within ten thousand li around it outward!

Countless living beings felt their scalp tingle, their faces full of terror as they looked here!

"That is... the Jun family's third sequence... who was fighting him... who is this... with such terrifying aura?!"

Sensing Ye Wuque's terrifying aura, the disbelief on Jun Mo Shen's face gradually faded.

In its place was an unmasked solemnity!

He frantically activated his protective body divine art, a massive pale‑yellow shield materialized in midair, and simultaneously, his finger became a sword, slashing a terrifying sword intent that seemed to cut through the Zhutian Huanyu!

"Aaa… hold on!"

However, it was of no use at all!

Ye Wuque's golden palm, unstoppable, instantly crushed that yellow shield and then slammed violently onto Jun Mo Shen!

He was flung backward, coughing blood, grievously wounded by Ye Wuque's palm.

He turned and fled, shouting, "Elder, help…"

Before he could finish the word "I," Ye Wuque's figure appeared like a phantom before him, his finger like a sword, the tip exuding destructive brilliance, stabbing straight at his brow!

"You dare, junior!!!"

A roar of extreme fury, like Nine Heavens thunder, thundered from afar, bearing boundless terrifying wrath and oppressive pressure!

A terrifying cyan giant hand crossed the void, grasping Ye Wuque fiercely, intent on crushing him!

It was Jun family Elder Jun Zhan Shan!

He sensed Jun Mo Shen's peril!

However, at the instant the cyan giant hand was about to strike!

"Heh, a junior's dispute, and you intervene? That's rather unbecoming of your status!"

Another equally massive pressure erupted; beside them, Duan Wutian boldly struck, a fist booming out, Shura demonic aura condensing into a blood‑red fist imprint that collided violently with the cyan giant hand!

Boom!

A terrifying Energy Storm exploded, completely clearing the surrounding wreckage!

Such a clash of beings, even a single strike through the void, can be called world‑destroying!

At the storm's core, Ye Wuque's finger showed no pause or tremor!

Sizzle!

His fingertip mercilessly pierced all of Jun Mo Shen's protective divine light, shattering his brow bone; destructive power surged instantly, erasing his soul‑sea completely!

Jun Mo Shen's terror and disbelief froze on his face, his gaze dimmed instantly, and his body collapsed limply.

"Mo Shen!!!"

From afar, a heart‑rending, supremely vengeful roar of Jun Zhan Shan echoed!

"You little brute! I don't care who you are!! Dare to kill a member of my Jun family, Nine Heavens Ten Earths, Liuhe Bahuang, there is no place for you to hide! Come die before me!!!"

The terrifying killing intent, as solid as matter, locked onto Ye Wuque across the great distance.

Duan Wutian's expression grew solemn as he stepped in front of Ye Wuque and said in a deep voice:

"In the secret realm, each claims his destiny! Your Jun family's Heavenly Pride lacks skill, fell here, and cannot blame others! If you wish to move him, you must first pass my barrier!"

"Shura, Ye Xiaoyou, hurry and refine this opportunity... I'll hold him back!"

Duan Wutian immediately unleashed his full combat power, fighting alongside Jun Zhan Shan, destroying heaven and earth with terrifying might.

Ye Wuque and Duan Xiuluo exchanged a glance, then together swooped toward the Wan Yuan Mother Qi Pool!

This precious opportunity was secured by Duan Wutian for them; it must not be missed!

The two entered the Wan Yuan Mother Qi Pool and began rapid refining.

More Heavenly Pride will arrive here at any moment, allowing them no time to waste.

It must be said, the effect of this Wan Yuan Mother Qi Pool is truly astounding.

Moments later, the aura around both of them surged to varying degrees!

A hint of surprise appeared on Ye Wuque's face.

The Divine Aperture that had not broken through for a long time finally did so this time!

The number of Divine Apertures increased from 280 to 285!

Even Ye Wuque was slightly shocked; this time he actually opened a full five Divine Apertures!

One must know that at this stage, even opening a single Divine Aperture is exceedingly difficult!

"Truly worthy of the Upper Three Heavens Primeval Secret Realm's opportunity... any one of them possesses such power..." Ye Wuque thought inwardly with a slight sigh.

This breakthrough undoubtedly caused Ye Wuque's combat power to surge again.

Beside him, Duan Xiuluo's expression was also excited, clearly having gained much.

After refining, the two left the place.

At this moment, Duan Wutian's battle with Jun Zhan Shan also seemed to have ended.

A figure stepped out from the depths of the Void, and it was Duan Wutian.

The instant he saw that figure, Ye Wuque's spirit jolted sharply.

Duan Xiuluo's expression changed dramatically, and he exclaimed:

"Father! What happened to you! How could you be so badly wounded?!"

At this moment, Duan Wutian was drenched in blood, a gruesome wound deep enough to show bone nearly cleaving his body in two! The injuries looked truly terrifying!

Duan Wutian waved his hand: "I'm fine, I won't die. I underestimated the Elder of the Jun family... didn't expect he could wound me."

"I thought I had taken him seriously enough, but still..."

"Truly worthy of the Jun imperial clan..."

"Even an ordinary Elder possesses such terrifying power..."

"What kind of defying cultivation do those Core Elders, famed across Nine Heavens, have?"

Duan Wutian muttered to himself at that moment.

"Divine Hall Master, how is that Jun family Elder now?"

Ye Wuque asked.

"Heh, he injured me, so he can't be doing any better..."

"I paid a price and severely wounded him. He definitely can't stay in this Primeval Secret Realm. By now, he has probably rolled back to the Jun family!"

Hearing Duan Wutian say that, Ye Wuque felt a slight calm.

Yet his respect for the Jun family's awe increased by a point.

"Truly worthy of the imperial clan that stands unshaken in the Upper Three Heavens... indeed unfathomable... must not be taken lightly..."

"Even a single Elder can wound the Master of the Shura Divine Hall."

Although the Shura Divine Hall belongs to the Lower Three Heavens' Vast Sky forces, it is a branch of the Zhen Tian Immortal Dynasty, and naturally cannot be compared with ordinary Vast Sky forces.

This shows how terrifying the true foundation of the Jun family truly is.

If an imperial clan can be so terrifying, what about the Ye Clan, an Undying Aristocratic Family?

Duan Xiuluo still wore a worried face; in his memory, he had never seen his father suffer such severe injuries.

He hadn't expected that coming to Boundless Heaven this time would bring such an event.

Seeing Duan Xiuluo's worried expression, Duan Wutian gave a soft laugh and patted his shoulder.

"That Jun family Elder possesses a terrifying sword technique, quite powerful. Just now, in desperation, he burned his longevity and unleashed a terrifying sword, which is what wounded me."

"However, it's no longer a serious problem. I just swallowed a few Healing Holy Pills, and after a few days of recuperation, I'll be fine..."

"These injuries are nothing; you obtained the opportunity, and that's enough!"

"But..." he turned his tone.

"Be careful ahead, I have a premonition."

"Deep within this secret realm, there may be an unimaginable Great Terror and great crisis. Caution above all."

Duan Wutian said in a solemn tone.

Ye Wuque and Duan Xiuluo both nodded.

Then the three swiftly left the area, advancing toward the deeper part of the secret realm.
