Chapter 344: Chapter 186: Unparalleled Divine Might, The 9 Great Origins Nearing Completion

Feng Qing sent a voice transmission:

"As long as the green hills last, there’ll be wood to burn. Since he didn’t kill Pu Xuan and Miaoyi at the start, they shouldn’t be in mortal danger for now. At worst, they’ll just suffer a bit!"

Yao Shi gritted her teeth and said:

"One more arrow. If we still can’t take him down, we leave!"

Feng Qing sighed inwardly:

’Alright, one more arrow. We’ve used too much of our power. The very ley lines of Ye State have been affected. I fear a calamity will descend upon us soon!’

Yao Shi said no more. The Crossbow reappeared in her hand. She drew the bowstring to a full moon and fired her final arrow!

Four Seasons Reincarnation Arrow!

BUZZ!

The Four Seasons Reincarnation Arrow passed through Feng Qing’s giant eight trigrams diagram, and as if the stars themselves had shifted, it instantly superimposed itself upon the Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow!

At that moment, the brilliant light of the arrow intensified, blazing like a rising sun. It unleashed a wave of light and heat that threatened to submerge everything as it shot violently toward Wang Xiao!

BOOM—

Wang Xiao’s palm was instantly pierced through. With his other hand, he grabbed the arrow’s shaft and retreated frantically.

Magma erupted from the sundered ground, surging a thousand feet high and releasing massive plumes of smoke.

This Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow, now fused with the Four Seasons Reincarnation Arrow, had its power doubled.

Even someone like Wang Xiao couldn’t withstand it for long.

He gripped the Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow fiercely with both arms, refusing to let it advance another inch.

However, the Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow was like a Celestial Blade, emitting a surging celestial might.

This boundless might sought to annihilate and destroy everything!

Even with the sustenance of his Life Dao Fruit, Wang Xiao’s arms were still torn down to the bone!

His physical body was now so strong that not even a Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure could harm him.

Yet he had been wounded by this single arrow. One could only imagine its power!

HISSS!

The Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow unleashed a power both vast and unrivaled, tearing through Wang Xiao’s arms and inching its way into his chest.

Droplets of golden blood seeped out from the wound.

"He’s about to break!"

"Good! As expected of the Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow, capable of killing even a Celestial Venerable. It truly is formidable!"

"The fact that he has held on for this long already puts him far beyond an ordinary Celestial Venerable. I really don’t know how he cultivated!"

"Should we continue attacking the Grotto Heaven?!"

"No need. This person is exceptionally cunning and can turn our own power against us to strengthen himself. He won’t be able to block this arrow. There’s no need for us to gild the lily."

The Wine Sword Immortal and the others watched Wang Xiao’s condition, joy showing in their eyes.

They could feel the power of the Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow. An ordinary Venerable would likely be turned to ash before even touching it.

For Wang Xiao to resist it for so long with the body of a Venerable was something to be proud of, should word of it ever get out.

Just as everyone was secretly getting excited,

RUMBLE—

A clap of thunder that shook the nine heavens resounded from the sky.

It was as if an ancient god was beating a war drum, or as if the Lord of Heaven himself was roaring in fury.

CRACK!

Accompanied by the continuous peals of thunder,

The sky suddenly became incomparably gloomy.

Rolling black clouds covered a region tens of thousands of miles wide.

Thick serpents of lightning writhed continuously within the clouds.

Feng Qing looked up at the sky, his expression changing slightly:

"This is bad! The celestial phenomenon we caused was too great, and the ley lines are severely damaged. The calamity has arrived ahead of schedule!"

Yet, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

’Thankfully, it’s a lightning tribulation, the weakest of the calamities. If it were a karmic fire or heart tribulation, we’d be in real trouble.’

"Why... why isn’t he dead yet!"

Yao Shi stared at Wang Xiao, who had retreated a thousand li, watching as the Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow sank deeper and deeper into his chest, yet still failed to pierce all the way through!

"Forget about him! Let’s go! We need to get back and face our tribulation!" Feng Qing shouted.

At that exact moment, a thick bolt of Thunderbolt tore through the sky and struck viciously down at Feng Qing and Yao Shi.

Feng Qing’s eyes narrowed. An eight trigrams diagram suddenly appeared, hovering above his head.

The descending Thunderbolt seemed to twist and, like a clay ox entering the sea, vanished without a trace in an instant.

Having cultivated for ten thousand years, these Celestial Venerables had naturally devised many ways to evade calamities.

"Oh? So your calamity has finally arrived?!"

"Perfect. I have an arrow for you as well. I wonder if you’ll like it!"

A thousand li away,

Wang Xiao watched the bolts of Thunderbolt striking down at Feng Qing and Yao Shi, his eyes narrowing slightly.

RUMBLE!

A blazing thunderclap erupted around his body.

One by one, his Acupoints blazed with light, releasing a terrifying level of blood qi.

A violent power suddenly burst forth from his body, making him shine like a great sun.

Behind him, a longbow woven from countless threads of Cause and Effect materialized!

He stomped hard on the bowstring, drawing it into a full moon.

TWANG!

Clutching the Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow tightly in both hands, his body transformed into an arrow itself. He crossed a thousand li in an instant, blasting toward Feng Qing and Yao Shi!

As he flew, the Grotto Heaven inside him began to vibrate violently and burn, its power augmenting his physical body.

In an instant, more than half of the Grotto Heaven was gone!

A ferocious, colossal power poured out, instantly obliterating the Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow!

「Inside the Grotto Heaven.」

The Wine Sword Immortal and the others fled in a panic, their faces filled with terror.

"He... he’s actually burning his Grotto Heaven, converting its Grotto Heaven Power into his own strength!"

"He’s insane! Can he even withstand that?!"

"This is bad! Senior Feng Qing and Senior Yao Shi are in the middle of their tribulation. If he crashes into them, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"He deliberately revealed a flaw just now, all so he could wait for the two Seniors’ calamity to strike and launch a counterattack. He’s simply too cunning!"

As they watched in horror, Wang Xiao, burning his Grotto Heaven, had already closed the distance to Feng Qing and Yao Shi!

A majestic power instantly swept through his body, fully mobilized by his Acupoint Gods!

This power had almost exceeded the limits of what Wang Xiao could bear.

If it were an ordinary Venerable, they would have likely been obliterated, body and soul, in an instant.

However, the Acupoints throughout Wang Xiao’s body had already forged Acupoint Gods, allowing him to perfectly command every muscle and every cell, enabling him to utilize the power from his burning Grotto Heaven to the absolute maximum!

RUMBLE!

The sound of thunder vibrated, stirring up ten thousand li of clouds and shattering layer after layer of Space.

Every cell in Wang Xiao’s body was boiling, like a primordial Star reaching the end of its life, letting out an explosion that shook the galaxy!

His power soared to its absolute peak as he blasted toward Feng Qing and Yao Shi.

The two were distracted with fending off their lightning tribulation. Seeing Wang Xiao rushing toward them like a celestial arrow, they could only defend in a panic!

The next moment,

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—

The two felt as if every bone in their bodies was about to shatter. Blood sprayed from their every pore, instantly turning them into figures of blood.

Cracks even appeared throughout their internal Grotto Heavens, as if they were about to collapse completely!

CRACK—

More bolts of Thunderbolt struck down, smashing the two of them heavily into the ground.

Seeing that the two were on the verge of death,

Wang Xiao grabbed one in each hand, lifted them up, and tossed them directly into his Grotto Heaven.

The Celestial Thunder continued to roll and strike down.

However, shielded by the Grotto Heaven, its power was significantly reduced.

Wang Xiao threw two punches, completely obliterating the lightning tribulation.

「Inside the Grotto Heaven.」

The Wine Sword Immortal and the other Venerables stared at the near-death Feng Qing and Yao Shi, their Heart Spirits trembling violently and their expressions fluctuating wildly.

Th-this person... he’s simply defied the heavens.

He suppressed two top-tier Celestial Venerables with the body of a mere Venerable!

Throughout all of history, has any Venerable ever been able to do such a thing?!

Is this man really a Venerable?!

This is just too terrifying!

Ao Guang and the other members of the Demon Race were trembling in fear.

All thoughts of escape were completely extinguished in their hearts.

Even two top-tier Celestial Venerables were no match for him.

Perhaps only the patriarch of their Dragon Race, arriving in person and wearing the Ten Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor, could possibly defeat this man!

However,

Their patriarch would certainly never come to a state occupied by humans just for their sake.

「Outside the Grotto Heaven.」

Wang Xiao also let out a long, heavy breath.

With his current strength, suppressing these two Celestial Venerables was by no means as simple as it looked.

If he hadn’t burned his Grotto Heaven and taken advantage of their calamity being triggered,

even if he wouldn’t have been defeated, he still wouldn’t have been able to do anything to them.

The gap between someone who had condensed a Grotto Heaven and someone who hadn’t was simply too vast.

Wang Xiao’s physical body was also severely damaged right now. He would likely need a period of recovery before he could fully heal.

’However, it wasn’t all for nothing. Through that Celestial Will Four Symbols Arrow, I was able to analyze the traces of the remaining Death Great Dao and Reincarnation Great Dao.’

’In less than a hundred years, I should be able to comprehend all Nine Origin Great Dao!’

As Wang Xiao was lost in thought, his gaze suddenly shifted.

In the distant sky, several strands of Divine Thought suddenly fell upon him.
