Wayfarer-Chapter 1008: Xiao Nanfeng Slays Sibyl
Chapter 1008: Xiao Nanfeng Slays Sibyl
In the depths of space, a massive starship fired a powerful stellar cannon and engulfed the Yuqing Grandmaster in an intense blast of energy.
Not far away, Sibyl's face lit up with delight. "You won't be able to block this. Even a Stellar-realm powerhouse will be completely vaporized by a stellar cannon. Now, die!"
With a thunderous roar, a massive beam of light formed a spherical barrier covered in intricate runes around the Yuqing Grandmaster, trapping him inside and preventing him from escaping.
The overwhelming heat scorched and destroyed everything in its path. The Yuqing Grandmaster's robes disintegrated rapidly under the intense flames. He reached out and struck at the barrier, but it only quivered slightly without breaking.
"This is the stellar cannon's matrix lock. No one will be able to escape from it!" Sibyl laughed loudly.
Suddenly, a purple glow emerged around the Yuqing Grandmaster. A shield manifested to resist the stellar cannon's attack.
"A Stellar-realm world of the heart? I underestimated you—but even that is useless. The energy powering this stellar cannon was forged from the core of a star. You won't be able to escape!" Sibyl sneered.
Suddenly, a blinding red light emanated from the starship.
"A warning?" Sibyl frowned at the starship.
He turned to see a streak of golden light heading directly for the starship, clearly intent on destroying it.
"Evade the attack!" Sibyl commanded in alarm.
The starship quickly maneuvered closer to the Yuqing Grandmaster to avoid the golden light. Meanwhile, Sibyl flashed forward and punched at the light to intercept it.
The collision of the forces resulted in a deafening explosion that sent massive shockwaves rippling outward.
The golden light was deflected, and Sibyl halted in mid-air.
"Who's there?" Sibyl roared in anger.
After all, the fact that someone could withstand his punch was no trivial matter. Except for the Yuqing Grandmaster, who possessed such strength?
Only then did the golden light resolve into a figure.
"Xiao Nanfeng?!" Sibyl narrowed his eyes.
Even the supreme cultivators observing the fight from afar were stunned.
"Xiao Nanfeng might have blocked Sibyl's strength, but he's still a little lacking."
"We channeled the whole world's strength into Xiao Nanfeng, but all it managed to do was stop Sibyl in his tracks..."
"He's terrifyingly strong."
The onlookers frowned in worry.
While the Yuqing Grandmaster held Sibyl off, the world hadn't been idle. The supreme cultivators of the world had been gathering their strength to finish off the remaining sandworms. Then, they reached out to the immortal emperors across the world and had them mobilize their imperial might to support Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng was now fighting against Sibyl with the imperial might of the entire world at his fingertips.
Xiao Nanfeng shouted, "Destroy that artifact and save the Yuqing Grandmaster. I'll hold Sibyl back!"
"Got it!" The supreme cultivators flew toward the starship.
Sibyl's eyes turned cold. "You bugs think you can ruin my plan? Dream on!"
Sibyl charged straight at Xiao Nanfeng. Behind him, a massive silver tree radiated with brilliant light, drawing immense power into his body and making him exponentially stronger. He threw a fierce punch at Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng narrowed his eyes. "Hegemon's Fist!"
To his back, nine towering trees appeared behind Xiao Nanfeng. The trees sent vast amounts of power into his body, causing his strength to surge dramatically as well.
"You're drawing power from other people's world trees? Are they hiding in your world of the heart? It's pointless. The power of these world trees becomes more diffuse the more domains you attempt to integrate. Using nine trees at once means you can't even harness the full power of one!" Saberi laughed mockingly.
With a thunderous explosion, their fists collided. The terrifying impact created shockwaves that rippled through the dark matter of the vacuum.
To Saberi's shock, Xiao Nanfeng's punch was evenly matched with his own. Their fists were locked in a stalemate.
"This is impossible! How can you combine the power of nine world trees? How are you doing this?!" Saberi exclaimed.
Behind Xiao Nanfeng, the nine world trees slowly fused into one, forming a massive golden tree that towered over everything. The tree emitted dazzling golden light that illuminated the starry sky.
Within Xiao Nanfeng's mindscape, Madam Rouge, Liu Miaoyin, the Divine Emperor, and the other supreme cultivators were channeling the power of their world trees into the golden tree.
The nine trees seemed to draw strength from the nearby planet, further amplifying the golden tree's incredible might.
"What kind of world tree is this, to be capable of merging our powers?"
"Excellent! Xiao Nanfeng's golden tree might be our salvation!"
"Haha, what an extraordinary world tree!"
The supreme cultivators were all jubilant.
They channeled all their strength into the golden tree, which stood tall and radiant. It drew more energy into Xiao Nanfeng's body and suffused him with incredible power, so much that he could match Sibyl punch for punch.
Xiao Nanfeng was astonished to discover that the golden tree not only absorbed the power of the nine world trees but also directly from the vacuum of space.

The power granted by the golden tree was so immense it nearly overwhelmed him. Without the support of the Jade Emperor's Frame and the Imposing Avatar of Rulai, his body might already have exploded.
This was far more power than he had anticipated.
Sibyl stared at the golden tree with wide eyes. "A golden tree? Impossible! Who are you? How could you wield this golden tree?!"
"You know of it?" Xiao Nanfeng asked, surprised.
Sibyl narrowed his eyes. He quickly clamped his mouth shut, unwilling to reveal its secrets."
"No matter. You won't be able to unleash its full potential. Take this!" Sibyl roared, throwing another devastating punch.
The two cultivators' fists clashed. Once again, they were evenly matched.
The powerhouses in Xiao Nanfeng's world of the heart cheered.
The two continued trading blows, their strength growing with each strike.
Meanwhile, the remaining cultivators had reached the starship, only to be confronted by a large swarm of sandworms pouring out from it to block their path.
Although there were no sandworm kings in this other starship, the overwhelming number of sandworms slowed their advance.
The battle dragged on. Neither side was able to gain the upper hand.
Xiao Nanfeng's disadvantage soon became apparent. Though he rivaled Sibyl in power, his reactions were slower due to his weaker cultivation. If not for his mastery of Hegemon's Fist, he would already have been defeated.
"This isn't good. Over time, imperial might will drain from Xiao Nanfeng, and he'll be at a disadvantage," the Immortal Emperor of Daru murmured worriedly.
"Sky of Ten Suns!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.
With a cry, ten golden crows emerged from his body, absorbing sunlight and channeling it into him. Even so, it was insufficient. The golden crows cawed and flew toward the sun in the distance. The further they flew, the more power they absorbed, further enhancing Xiao Nanfeng's strength.
With a roar, Xiao Nanfeng's strength surged, closing the gap between him and Saberi once more.
"You're growing stronger. Is it because of those ten golden crows?" Sibyl demanded.
He turned to find that the ten golden crows had vanished from sight. They were flying ever closer toward the sun.
"Send some sandworms to chase after those golden crows—now!"
He didn't dare pursue them himself. If he left, Xiao Nanfeng would destroy the starship and free the Yuqing Grandmaster. With both of them unleashed, his fate would be sealed.
He clashed with Xiao Nanfeng once more, trying to hold him off while the stellar cannon finished off the Yuqing Grandmaster. However, with the help of his purple moon illusory realm, the Yuqing Grandmaster was able to defend against the attack, at least for the moment.
Sibyl finally began to panic. As Xiao Nanfeng grew stronger and stronger, he was suppressed once more.
"If not for this golden tree, how could you channel so much power? Damn it!" Sibyl bellowed in rage.
The tide was turning against him. He roared in outrage, "How can a lowly civilization like yours be my match? Die!"
The silver tree behind him radiated brilliantly, empowering him with immense energy as he launched a devastating punch at Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng raised his divine undying blade up high. His immense strength now eliminated the need for Hegemon's Fist. What he needed now was to amplify that strength for a head-on clash.
"Die!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.
He poured his boundless power into the blade, causing it to grow and glimmer in brilliant blue. The blade descended toward Sibyl like the judgment of the heavens.
"No!" Sibyl cried out.
The blade deflected his punches as it drew ever closer to his head.
"No!" Sibyl shouted again, raising both arms in defense.
With a deafening explosion, the sword light cleaved through Sibyl's defenses, slicing into his arms and spilling his blood.
Had the attack been blocked?
Xiao Nanfeng frowned. "Golden tree, grant me power!"
The golden tree trembled, emitting a dazzling light as it drew vast energy from the cosmos. A crack appeared on its bark, evidence of the strain it bore as it channeled its energy into Xiao Nanfeng.
The surge of power overwhelmed Xiao Nanfeng, ripping his flesh and shattering his bones.
Despite the excruciating pain, Xiao Nanfeng endured, channeling every ounce of power into the divine undying blade. The blade flared once more, brighter than ever.
"No!" Sibyl screamed in terror.
With a final arcing strike, the blade cleaved Sibyl in two, bisecting him vertically. Blood sprayed across the battlefield.
At the same time, Xiao Nanfeng's body was torn apart by the overwhelming energy. His blood sprayed like a fountain as he collapsed. He was utterly drained, his body broken and lifeless.
