Chapter 819: The Fall Of A Sovereign (2)
Whoosh! A towering figure materialized in the emptiness, radiating an aura of immense power.
“Subdue!” The imposing figure pointed from afar.
Boom! Heaven and earth transformed as countless purple beams of light appeared in the vast void. The dazzling rays turned all of outer space into a sea of violet, each beam pulsing with tremendous might.
Innumerable purple light beams, like a surging deluge, crashed directly towards Sovereign Sha Fan.
Instantly, Sovereign Sha Fan's speed plummeted, reduced to a crawl. The range of his domain secret art also shrank rapidly.
"Zi Yang?" Sovereign Sha Fan's expression finally paled.
Throughout the history of the eldritch world, six Sovereigns had emerged, but only four guarded it on a regular basis. Of these four eldritch world Sovereigns, three were body refiners, with only one qi refiner among them.
The sole qi refiner was none other than Sovereign Zi Yang.
He had become a Sovereign by fully comprehending the Law of Water, and was the most adept at domain binding techniques.
The endless purple light beams resembled both sword rays and flowing water, sharp yet tenacious.
"Zi Yang has arrived."
"Kill!" Sovereign Kua Chi and Sovereign Cang Feng rejoiced. They needed someone skilled in restraints to trap Sovereign Sha Fan, enabling their attacks to land squarely.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The equivalent of four Sovereigns joined the assault, one of them a late-stage Sovereign powerhouse.
The battle raged with brutal intensity, but in mere moments, Sovereign Sha Fan suffered grievous wounds, his arcane arts shattered one after another.
In this brief span, Sovereign Sha Fan teetered on the brink of annihilation.
"You eldritch world scum! Just you wait. When the great war arrives, your entire eldritch world will be obliterated," Sovereign Sha Fan roared in fury. "Detonate!"
Cornered and pressured, Sovereign Sha Fan knew he couldn't withstand another wave of attacks, and Sovereign Voltari would take too long to arrive. Rather than be slain, he chose to self-destruct.
Boom! In an instant, the Sovereign's mana body ignited all the mana accumulated over eons of cultivation. How terrifyingly vast was the mana of a super powerhouse of this caliber?
The force of the self-destruction reached a horrifying level, easily a hundredfold stronger than a Sovereign's normal attack, undoubtedly on par with an Overlord’s attack.
The shockwave instantly swept across trillions of li of Spacetime.
This was a force that surpassed the speed of light by hundreds or thousands of times. Everything within trillions of li of spacetime—countless stars, innumerable wisps of cosmic dust—was instantly annihilated and broken down into the most fundamental atomic particles.
Moreover, the terrifying aftershocks of the self-destruction shattered the isolation array enveloping this region of spacetime. Trillions of li of void fell silent in an instant!
It was utterly unstoppable.
"Such power."
"He self-destructed?"
"With Sha Fan's mana body gone, we've eliminated a major threat, at least for the near future." Sovereign Kua Chi and Sovereign Cang Feng had no time to retreat and could only endure the blast with their battle armor and deity bodies.
They were immediately blasted backward by the horrific shockwave, hurled millions of li away in the blink of an eye.
However, as body refiners, their vitality was incredibly robust. Protected by battle armor and with the shockwave's force distributed indiscriminately, they weathered the assault with only minor injuries.
As for Sovereign Zi Yang? He was hundreds of millions of li away, merely sending out his arcane arts and artifacts to attack. He had ample time to react, quickly raising his defenses. By the time the shockwave reached him, its power had greatly diminished, leaving him largely unaffected.
Moments later, this vast expanse of outer space finally calmed.@@@@
"Voltari, you dare come here? Are you not afraid of perishing?" Sovereign Cang Feng took a step forward, facing off against the figure from afar. His aura was vast, not at all inferior to his opponent's.
"Perish?" Sovereign Voltari's voice boomed like thunder, reverberating through the endless outer space. "Even if the three of you join forces, can you kill me?"
"Hmph!" Sovereign Cang Feng let out a cold snort, saying nothing more.
"Sha Fan's mana body has fallen, and I have nothing to say about that," Sovereign Voltari's voice was cold and detached. "I came only to remind you that you cannot always be this lucky.
Though Wu Yuan is a monstrous prodigy, it's not certain he'll successfully become an Overlord."
Boom! He transformed into a bolt of lightning and departed.
He had originally come to rescue Sovereign Sha Fan. Unfortunately, by the time he arrived, Sovereign Sha Fan had already perished.
They watched until Sovereign Voltari vanished from their perception.
"Let's go."
"We should return."
Boom! Boom! Boom! The three Sovereigns swiftly departed, heading towards the Cang Feng Continent.
...
Within a worldlet in the Cang Feng Temple.
Such a powerful karmic attack. To have such a potent effect in spite of the protection of the Cang Feng Temple. Could it be an ultimate karmic treasure? Wu Yuan pondered silently.
Though he had withstood the attack, he was still shocked by its strength.
In his original assessment, separated by endless spacetime, he should have been able to easily withstand any karmic attack below the supreme level.
It seems I underestimated the Voltari Temple. If the Cang Feng Temple hadn't weakened the attack, I might have been severely injured or even killed. If I had perished, I would have had to use the Immutable Soul technique. Wu Yuan contemplated.
His body refiner self had numerous protective measures, the most extraordinary being the Immutable Soul technique, which could bring him back to life after death.
However, this also proves that the decision to hide in the Cang Feng Temple was correct.
Caution ensured a ten-thousand-year voyage.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked up.
Whoom! Whoom! Two tall figures appeared above the world.
"Master, Sovereign Cang Feng." Wu Yuan immediately rose and flew into outer space, bowing respectfully.
"It's good that you're unharmed," Sovereign Cang Feng smiled. "The one who wielded the karmic treasure to assassinate you was Sovereign Sha Fan of the Voltari Temple."
"Sovereign Sha Fan?" Wu Yuan murmured.
Boom! As Wu Yuan uttered the name, it was as if an invisible force instantly established a faint connection between them in the Destiny Voidscape.
The previously blurry karmic thread grew clearer. Earlier, after the assassination attempt, a karmic thread had already formed between them, but it was still very vague.
Hmm? The karmic connection formed on its own. So clear? Wu Yuan's sensitivity to karma was now very strong.
At nearly the same moment, Wu Yuan sensed a subtle vibration from the Hundred Stars Saber.
In an instant, he understood. It seems this Sovereign Sha Fan is related to Astral Monarch Wan Lei... Could it be that Sovereign Sha Fan is the one who killed Astral Monarch Wan Lei?
