His flesh tore apart as blood constantly flowed out. However, Zhou Wen's heart was calm as he gripped the Bamboo Blade tightly. At the same time, he condensed all his insights onto the Bamboo Blade and raised it high above his head.
Old Master Xia's heart palpitated as though he sensed danger. His expression turned solemn as he stared at Zhou Wen with a burning gaze.
Wounds constantly ruptured on Zhou Wen's body, but his expression remained calm. He exerted strength with both hands and slashed down at Old Master Xia, who wasn't far away.
With this slash, the berserk power in Zhou Wen's body was instantly sucked out and condensed on the blade, causing Bamboo Blade's body to tremble incessantly.
When the saber slashed down, Old Master Xia couldn't see the trajectory of the saber. Alarmed, he immediately changed his body.
Bam!
Old Master Xia's body was split into two, turning into clear water that scattered to the ground.
On the other side, Old Master Xia's true body appeared, but one could see that the Guardian armor on his body was shattering. From the helmet to the armor, a saber mark appeared from top to bottom.
A formless saber force continued to press down on the Protector's armor, causing it to crack from top to bottom. Old Master Xia's blood flowed out as well.
Crack!
The Guardian armor on Old Master Xia's body shattered, turning into black jade ore that scattered, revealing Old Master Xia's true body.
His body flashed and soon appeared again. He had likely used the Yin Yang Universe Ring's ability.
However, when he appeared, the saber marks on his body were still spreading. From his head to his chest and abdomen, a bloody mark constantly expanded as more and more blood seeped out.
Old Master Xia had an almost undying Connate Dominance Body, but it failed to prevent the saber marks on his body from deepening, nor did it heal his wounds.
Old Master Xia watched as the saber marks on his body constantly tore apart. His skull was about to be split open as his expression turned somewhat crazy and incredulous.
Impossible … There's no power that can take my life … My Connate Great Emperor Sutra is the strongest …
The Sigh of the King on Zhou Wen had already converged, and the Slaughterer Life Soul automatically fell silent. During that slash, the Slaughterer Life Soul had automatically fused with Zhou Wen's slash. Slaughterer, which was originally a passive augmentation of Zhou Wen, had an active effect for the first time.
After shattering the Guardian armor, a strange force fused into the Slaughterer Life Soul, but it didn't advance the Slaughterer Life Soul like before.
Zhou Wen didn't find it strange. The advancement of a Life Soul was more difficult with each level. The last time he killed a Guardian, Slaughterer advanced to an Evolved Body. This time, to advance to a Perfect Body, it was obvious that killing one Guardian wasn't enough.
That strike from before had drained him. He basically had no combat strength left.
In particular, his body had been severely damaged by the power of the Sigh of the King, so it was difficult for him to even maintain a standing posture.
Zhou Wen stared at Slaughterer as the power of the strike continued to take effect. It was about to tear Old Master Xia's bones into two.
Without the power of the Guardian, no matter how strong Old Master Xia was, he was only at the Epic stage. Zhou Wen believed that it was impossible for him to withstand the terrifying saber force.
Not only did the saber force have the power of the Sigh of the King, but it also had the power of Slaughterer. Zhou Wen felt that the power of the saber wouldn't disappear unless he killed his opponent.
Boom!
At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck Old Master Xia's head.
The purple lightning bathed Master Xia's body, shattering the saber force on Master Xia's body. At the same time, the strange purple lightning also merged into his body, as if a purple light flashed across his body.
Once the saber force shattered, Old Master Xia's injuries immediately began to rapidly recover. What was even more terrifying was that his body was rapidly transforming as though he was transforming from the Epic stage to the Mythical stage.
Are you f * cking kidding me? I carried you all the way here and suffered so much. Yet, you actually helped that old pervert deal with me? Zhou Wen felt indignant.
He could clearly see that the purple bolt of lightning didn't strike down from the void, but shot out from the wood on the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Haha, I'm indeed someone blessed by the heavens. Even the heavens want to help me advance to the Mythical stage and use the divine lightning to help me condense another soul, allowing me to advance to the Mythical stage. Who in the world can stop me? I, Xia Jiuhuang, am the emperor of the heavens. No one can stop me from becoming a god. Old Master Xia roared with laughter as the nine Life Souls on his body appeared faintly. Terrifying power spewed out of his body as his body rapidly transformed.
As though responding to Old Master Xia, lightning flashed in the sky as thunder rumbled incessantly like a heaven-shaking salute.
Zhou Wen sat weakly on the ground. He no longer had the strength to fight. If Old Master Xia really advanced, Zhou Wen wouldn't have the combat strength to fight him.
However, the name Xia Jiuhuang made Zhou Wen finally know who Old Master Xia was. This name wasn't only famous in the Xia family, but even in the entire Federation. He was one of the six heroes who had founded the Federation, the founder of the Xia family, and the legendary hero Xia Jiuhuang who had long died.
At that moment, Xia Jiuhuang's aura had already reached its limits. His body almost transformed into crystalline jade as his Essence Energy spewed out like a volcanic eruption. The power of the nine Life Providences and nine Life Souls fused as one as an ancient word 'Imperial' gradually appeared on his forehead.
The word 'Imperial' shimmered with divine light as it produced purple lightning as though it was a supreme existence.
Zhou Wen could naturally guess that the purple word 'Imperial' was likely the Wheel of Destiny that Xia Jiuhuang had condensed. Once the Wheel of Destiny stabilized, he would successfully advance to the Mythical stage.
Zhou Wen summoned Demonic Neonate and Truth Listener. At this point, he could only risk his life and strike Xia Jiuhuang down to the mortal world before he completed his transformation from the Epic stage to the Mythical stage.
Just relying on Demonic Neonate's strength was clearly insufficient. Zhou Wen could only consider getting Truth Listener to shatter more earrings, at least three or more. However, Zhou Wen couldn't predict the consequences.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to order Truth Listener to shatter the earring, he realized that something was amiss with Xia Jiuhuang's condition. There was a faint force throbbing in his body. It was as rhythmic as a heart.
Although this force wasn't powerful and seemed to be a part of Xia Jiuhuang's body, it was sending a certain message to Zhou Wen.
Primordial Spore! Zhou Wen immediately knew what it was. Xia Jiuhuang's body was transmitting information to him. It was the Primordial Spore that Zhou Wen had previously sent into Xia Jiuhuang's body.
Zhou Wen was pleasantly surprised. Typically, it would take a long time for Primordial Spore to parasitize Mythical creatures. However, the information sent by Primordial Spore seemed to tell Zhou Wen that it had already taken root.
