Chapter 509: 256. Elder Lei and the Celestial Master’s Sword (Combined Chapter)_2

Anyone observing this long spear would be astonished by the extraordinary power it contained.

"This treasure is named the Liheng Halberd. Let’s see how you handle it," Xu Yuanzhen said casually.

The Liheng Halberd descended, its sharp aura pressing heavily even on Ye Moquan, who had the backing of his Ye Clan Ancestral Land.

After his initial surprise, the elder’s expression no longer showed shock but rather admiration. "Great Success, Benefit, Advantage, and Uprightness—these are also what we scholars strive for."

Although this was somewhat unexpected, the Crushed Pill Core he had prepared could, fortunately, maintain its effects for some time. It was primarily a precaution in case the opponent possessed the Celestial Master Seal in addition to the Celestial Master’s Sword.

Now, even though neither the Celestial Master’s Sword nor the Celestial Master Seal had appeared, it was time to deploy his planned measures.

Faced with the descending Liheng Halberd, Ye Moquan suddenly advanced instead of retreating!

In the Jinzhou Ye Clan Ancestral Land, a multitude of ritual instruments flew into the sky at that moment. Swept by Spiritual Energy, they shattered, transforming into streams of red light.

Vast Integrity Qi continually converged around Ye Moquan’s body, merging with the streams of light and also turning a crimson hue.

The crimson light eventually coalesced into a Precious Jade, shaped like a heart, appearing both illusory and substantial upon the elder’s chest.

With the Precious Jade as its center, the red light spread outward, forming a crimson cloud.

Upon seeing this, not only did Tang Xiaotang raise her eyebrows, but the distant spectators from Mount Shu also knitted their brows tightly.

From that crimson cloud, they sensed an extremely unsettling aura.

At that moment, Xu Yuanzhen’s Liheng Halberd struck the cloud.

The crimson cloud overflowed with dazzling red light. Like wind-swept clouds, it shattered, unexpectedly sending a shockwave back at Xu Yuanzhen’s Liheng Halberd, clearly intending to knock this Magical Treasure from her grasp.

Crushed Pill Core!

This treasure originated from the conceptual Dharma Essence provided by Prince Huayang Zhang Rui of the Great Tang. Combined with Ye Moquan’s own profound attainment in Scriptures Studies and a wealth of rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it was secretly refined by the Nanzong Lin Clan into ritual instruments. The barbaric artistic conception of hegemony might devastate Wenhua, but Wenhua Vast Integrity Qi could retaliate with mutual destruction! The only regret was the scarcity of materials; currently, there was only one set of ritual instruments, capable of nurturing just one such core. Ye Moquan was not only unafraid of abilities like the Locking Scholar Shackles but also intended to use this related artistic conception to counter them, proactively shattering his core to disarm his opponent’s Magical Treasure.

Whether Tang Xiaotang lent the Celestial Master’s Sword to Xu Yuanzhen, or if they had secretly found the Celestial Master Seal, Ye Moquan had the Crushed Pill Core waiting. The Liheng Halberd was unexpected, but he deemed it worthy of using the Crushed Pill Core prematurely. However... as the Liheng Halberd vibrated in mid-air, crimson light also flowed out from it and shattered, transforming into streaks of black shadow.

Caught off guard, Ye Moquan had no time to generate a new crimson cloud, let alone protect the condensed core on his chest; it was truly shattered by the streaking black shadows!

"..." The elder retreated rapidly, staring in astonishment at the Liheng Halberd.

A pale hand grasped the long spear.

"You have the Crushed Pill Core; I have the Core Shatterer." Xu Yuanzhen’s figure emerged from the dark depths of the universe. "Do you like it?"

If it had been the Celestial Master Seal or the Celestial Master’s Sword, though powerful, they might indeed have been temporarily disarmed by the opponent’s Crushed Pill Core. That thing was created specifically for such a purpose. But her Liheng Halberd was newly refined, only completed at the last moment before she came to Jinzhou. Thanks to Lei Jun’s reminder, she had managed to add a little something extra to her Magical Treasure in time...

This time, not only was the Liheng Halberd not knocked away by the shattering crimson cloud, but it instead completely shattered the opponent’s "core."

As a direct consequence, Ye Moquan’s entire body trembled, and his face turned deathly pale.

He himself seemed to have suffered a grievous blow; wounds burst open all over his body, spraying blood.

This damage stemmed from the backlash of his own Crushed Pill Core, erupting from within. The few remaining protective treasures Ye Moquan had were rendered useless.

After the backlash injured Ye Moquan, Xu Yuanzhen had no intention of stopping. Her Great Vehicle Taoist Scene seized the opportunity to fully unfold, enveloping Ye Moquan within it!

Inside the dark depths of the universe, Xu Yuanzhen transformed into the Destiny Star God. Wielding the Liheng Halberd, she instantly reappeared before Ye Moquan.

***

"Is the outcome about to be decided?" The onlookers watched with gleaming eyes.

Ye Moquan was trapped within Xu Yuanzhen’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene, but fortunately, he had not lost control over the Ye Clan Ancestral Land.

Surging waves of Spiritual Energy from the ancestral land continuously assaulted Xu Yuanzhen’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene from the outside.

The dark universe focused on resisting these external attacks, rendering it momentarily unable to exert pressure on Ye Moquan inside.

While this wasn’t enough for the Ye Clan Ancestral Land’s power to overwhelm Xu Yuanzhen’s domain, the Ye Clan Old Patriarch had indeed lost his geographical advantage. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

With no geographical advantage and already wounded, he now faced Xu Yuanzhen, who wielded the Liheng Halberd...

"This time, he’ll be forced to reveal his trump card," Chu Yu said, looking up at the sky.

The sky of the real world suddenly darkened at that moment.

From within the darkness, starlight descended, illuminating Xu Yuanzhen’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene.

The black universe, bathed in a vast swathe of starlight from the sky, shed much of its profound mystery. It became tangible again, beginning to twist and waver continuously.

At this instant, the blackness seemed to thin.

The aggressive aura rising in defiance from the Ye Clan Ancestral Land immediately focused its attacks on these weakened spots.

Trapped within, Ye Moquan abandoned his protective treasures to block Xu Yuanzhen’s relentless attacks. Seizing the opportunity to coordinate with the forces outside, he finally managed to open a passageway between the interior and exterior of the seemingly independent dark universe, attempting to escape through it.

But in that fleeting instant, Xu Yuanzhen caught up to him again.

Ye Moquan’s figure was pinned at the very edge of Xu Yuanzhen’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene, momentarily unable to advance or retreat.

He continuously drew Spiritual Energy from his ancestral land, pouring it through the breach in the Great Vehicle Taoist Scene.

However, Xu Yuanzhen’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene did not shatter or contract because of this opening; instead, it remained suspended in mid-air.
