That person … His aura was clearly so weak that he could not sense anything at all. Furthermore, when he attacked Ye Wuchen, all of his power came from …
Jue Tian's gaze instantly locked onto the golden sword in Ye Wuchen's hand that he had yet to retrieve. A cruel and cold smile appeared on his face as he said, "So … it's actually the Star Slashing Sword … The Forbidden Sword that was left behind by the Southern Emperor back then, and only you humans can use it … Hmph … Hmph … However, your strength is simply too weak. Such a heaven-defying weapon can only display such a laughable might in your hands … You, die!!"
Exactly how powerful was the Forbidden Sword? The people of the Tianchen Continent could only guess and look forward to it from the distant and faintly discernible ancient legends. However, the people of the Godly Continent clearly knew just how terrifying their true might was. The Heaven and Earth Rend that Ye Wuchen had used the Star Slashing Sword to heavily injure Jue Tian, was actually called a "laughable might" by Jue Tian in disdain …
Jue Tian's aura had dropped by more than half compared to before. However, it was still clearly suppressing Oculum. He condensed his Divine Power to seal up all of the wounds on his body. With a sinister sneer, he consecutively shot seven deep purple lightning bolts towards Ye Wuchen's position.
At the instant he released the lightning bolts, Oculum's attack had also arrived. The cold Sky Punishment Blade was aimed straight at Jue Tian's neck.
Jue Tian had lost an arm, and there were countless wounds all over his body. Furthermore, after receiving Ye Wuchen's "Heaven and Earth Rend", he had received even more injuries. At this moment, aside from enduring the intense pain that covered his entire body, the oppressive heaviness felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on his head. His movements were clearly hindered, and his strength was greatly reduced. Losing his spear was equivalent to losing an arm. Facing Oculum, the pressure he felt had multiplied. Under Oculum's barrage of attacks, he actually appeared to be in a fluster for a short period of time. He was no longer as relaxed as before, nor did he have the time to care about Ye Wuchen.
However, Jue Tian was, after all, Jue Tian. Even if he had been heavily injured time and time again, weakened again and again, and even lost his arm and weapon, he was still one of the eight Godly Generals whose name resounded throughout the entire Godly Mainland. After a short period of time, Oculum was once again firmly suppressed by Jue Tian's unparalleled strength. The situation was still in Jue Tian's favor.
The lightning bolts unleashed by Absolute Heaven all bombarded Ye Wuchen's body. Under the impact of the lightning bolts, Ye Wuchen's body was pushed back by tens of metres. When his body finally came to a stop, he was still hovering in mid-air as he quietly gazed at the distant location of the pupil, a complicated feeling in his heart.
"Nan 'er, I lost," Ye Wuchen sighed, feeling disappointed and frustrated.
"Wu … That was a Godly Taboo Skill. It is a taboo power that can only be obtained when one's strength reaches the Godly rank. If he had not used that Godly Taboo Skill, Master would have already … "
"A loss is a loss. There are no 'ifs'," Ye Wuchen lightly shook his head. Everything had played out according to the script he had planned. One week ago, he had purposely allowed himself to be captured by Nanhuangzong in order to find out Nanhuangzong's location. Early this morning, he had sensed Jue Tian's arrival. Then, he had brought Oculum and quietly appeared in Nanhuangzong. He had used Oculum's aura to lure Jue Tian to this place. Then, he had used his own strength to conceal Oculum's aura as much as possible. Following which, he did not have to wait for long. The battle that he had hoped to see had erupted. This battle had started earlier than he had imagined, and it had also ended faster than he had expected. As he had hoped, Nanhuangzong had been forced to use its final trump card. The power that had been passed down for thousands of generations had heavily injured Jue Tian, and it had even unexpectedly cut off one of Jue Tian's arms. Immediately after, the enraged Jue Tian unleashed his Godly Might without holding anything back, destroying the entire core area of Nanhuangzong … completely destroying it.
Everything had gone so smoothly. However, at the final step, a fatal error had occurred. The Godly Taboo Skill that Jue Tian had released, "Thunder God's Possession", had caused his Instant Movement Slash, "Heaven and Earth Splitter", to fail. Jue Tian was still alive.
"Wu …" Nan 'er wanted to comfort him, but she did not know what to say. After a long time, she weakly said in a small voice, "Master, he is so powerful … We really can't defeat him. You … Can you escape from here first? As long as Master escapes, he will definitely not be able to find you. After today, he will definitely return to the Godly Mainland. At that time, everything will … "
"Don't say anymore." Ye Wuchen understood Nan 'er's meaning. He interrupted her and said in distress, "How can I escape … How can I allow … Oculum to be taken away by him … How can I allow it!"
"But … But I'm really afraid that something will happen to you. Wu wu … Master, if something happens to you, what should I do …"
"… I won't die that easily."
"But … Ah, Master, have you ever thought that the Godly Emperor that Jue Tian spoke of might be Oculum's father? They definitely won't harm Oculum. After bringing her back to the Godly Mainland, they will help her recover her strength and remove the curse. She might even be able to return to this place in the future … So, Master, can you leave this place first? He is a Godly General of the Godly Realm. We really have no way of defeating him. I don't want anything to happen to Master, don't …" Nan 'er used an extremely gentle voice to persuade him. When it came to matters that concerned Ye Wuchen's life and safety, Nan 'er would always display a little selfishness. She would rather everyone in the world die than allow Ye Wuchen to lose his life. Because her life, her future, her everything, were now tightly linked to Ye Wuchen.
"I … can't! Even if it's her biological father, even if he is the Godly Emperor of the Godly Mainland, don't even think of taking Cher and Oculum away from my side … Absolutely not! "Ye Wuchen tightly clenched his teeth. Within his eyes that were as vast as the night sky, a resolute cold light was suddenly released.
The Star Slashing Sword in his hand disappeared amidst the illusory golden light, and the crimson blood bow appeared in his other hand.
"Master … You … You used 'Heaven and Earth Split' just now, so you don't have enough power to shoot the Heaven Piercing Arrow. Moreover, even if you can shoot the Heaven Piercing Arrow … The Heaven Piercing Arrow needs a very long time to charge up. This period of time is enough for Jue Tian to be vigilant. Even if he doesn't come over to interrupt us, there is a very high chance that he will be able to dodge it … "
Ye Wuchen, "…"
"Master, what exactly do you want to do?" Nan 'er asked apprehensively.
Ye Wuchen didn't reply to her. Holding the Calamity Bow in his hand, he floated there motionlessly. Both of his fists were tightly clenched, to the point where it seemed as though he wanted to break the bones in his hands.
The confrontation between Tong Xin and Jue Tian continued. Strand after strand of blood flowed out from the corner of Tong Xin's mouth. However, her expression was still as indifferent as ever. Her killing intent had never lost its sharpness and coldness, just like the Heaven's Punishment Edge in her hand. She spun her body and stabbed forward, her body sweeping up a dark wind as it pierced towards Jue Tian's eyes. When the terrifying blood-red light was about to reach his body, Jue Tian, who had been continuously blocking and dodging, finally reacted. His remaining fist slowly stretched out horizontally. Following that, the bones in his arm suddenly trembled, and a terrifying purple energy rapidly condensed within an extremely short period of time. Finally, with a deep shout, he suddenly exploded, "Thunder God's Collapse!"
Covered by lightning, the fist that contained an incomparable amount of lightning power did not appear very magnificent. However, at the moment when the fist was swung out, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated and rippled. The fist actually seemed to have directly distorted the space as it broke through the air.
"Bang!!" Under Ye Wuchen's attentive gaze, Jue Tian's fist and Oculum's Sky Punishment Blade abruptly collided. After a moment of silence, a thunderous explosion suddenly resounded through the sky. Soon after, a shockwave swept out in all directions. The blade and the fist separated upon contact, and Jue Tian's body was forced back tens of meters before he was able to dissipate the force of the collision. There was only a small wound on the fist that he had swung out. Meanwhile, under Ye Wuchen's gaze, Oculum's body was sent flying far away like a leaf that had been swept away by a storm … The Sky Punishment Blade flew out of Ye Wuchen's hand, falling to the ground before its owner.
A figure suddenly appeared behind Oculum, firmly hugging onto Oculum's body. However, the power contained in Jue Tian's attack was so great that the moment it came into contact with Oculum's body, the power that had yet to dissipate passed through Oculum's body and collided with Ye Wuchen's body. Ye Wuchen felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer, and a terrifying feeling of his body being split apart emerged from the depths of his heart. Hugging onto Oculum's body tightly, Ye Wuchen did not let go. Following the direction of the power, Jue Tian retreated. After retreating another hundred meters, Jue Tian was barely able to dissipate the remaining power, and he landed on the ground with Oculum.
Oculum's complexion was as pale as a sheet of white paper, and her pitch-black pupils had lost some of their luster. When she landed on the ground, she suddenly spat out a mist of blood that she could no longer suppress. After that, she powerlessly fell into Ye Wuchen's embrace, gasping for breath violently. In this short period of time, she was greedy for the warmth that came from his body.
Ye Wuchen extended his hand and wiped away the trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, bit by bit. Every time Oculum bled, it would only be for him. Every drop of blood that she shed for him seemed to be shed from the depths of Ye Wuchen's heart …
"Oculum, how can I bear to let you bleed again … You have followed me for a very long time, and you have also protected me for a very long time. What I owe you is something that I will never be able to repay in this lifetime … How can I allow someone to take you away from me?" Caressing Oculum's soft, jade-like skin, Ye Wuchen softly said as if he was talking in his sleep.
A heavy pressure enveloped them from above, and Oculum, who was lying in Ye Wuchen's embrace, opened her eyes. She reluctantly pushed Ye Wuchen's body away, and when she raised her head to look at the sky, her gaze once again turned bone-chilling. With a wave of her hand, the scarlet short blade flew back into her hand. She then soared into the sky, welcoming the approaching Absolute Heaven. The power of darkness and death burst forth at the same time, and the sky suddenly darkened.
In the sky, the clash between Oculum and Absolute Heaven released continuous explosive sounds. Standing on the ground, Ye Wuchen straightened his body, and slowly closed his eyes. His left hand raised the Calamity Bow high up. The fingers of his right hand were stained with Oculum's blood. Using this hand, he lightly raised it, and very slowly pulled the bowstring of the Calamity Bow. A scarlet arrow of blood appeared on the bow, and the arrowhead was not pointed at any target, but straight towards the empty sky. Ye Wuchen's eyes were also not aimed at anyone. Instead, they were closed, and in the depths of his mind, heart, and soul, Absolute Heaven's figure was incomparably clearly reflected.
The Calamity Bow's body began to tremble, and the trembling became more and more intense, as if it would fall out of Ye Wuchen's hands at any time, as if it was resisting something. Ye Wuchen's left hand tightly gripped the bow, not letting it fall out of his hands. His expression alternated between calm and pain.
