The protectors from the Ancestor Mother Religion were all eagerly counting down since there was just a single breath of time left.
Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master saw Xue Ying walking over. He shook his head inwardly: ‘You haven’t given up yet? Dong Bo Xue Ying. He is indeed a remarkably talented cultivator from this cosmos. He isn’t even willing to give up at the very last moment. It’s such a pity that the final outcome is fixed.’
All of a sudden–
That Xue Ying who was walking over began raising his left hand. A Black Gourd appeared in it. At the same time, he casually unplugged the cork.
“Not good!” Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master’s expression changed.
“Be careful!” The golden-haired monkey, venom-tailed girl, muscular man and other apex protectors might not know what the Black Gourd was, but at this point of the battle, anyone could guess that it should be something extraordinary.
“Hong!”
The Black Gourd released a drizzle of rich and vast ripple from its opening. It was a ripple that could not be stopped.
This sudden drizzle of black ripple was stacked multiple times unto itself. When it sped out of the opening, it went sweeping in a fan shape. This ripple was formed by that terrifying fireball within the gourd. Under the restriction by the void array of the Black Gourd, the ripple flew along this opening. It was not an attack employed by an expert. Instead, it was a devastating ripple formed by a celestial existence on the same level as the ‘Sun Star’. One could even reach the Ruler realm if he comprehended the mysteries within this ripple and opened a Dao based on it.
“This is–” All the protectors revealed looks of horror.
Too fast.
They were initially located close to each other. With the speed of this Black Gourd’s drizzle of ripple that reached upwards of a few hundred million kilometers in an instance, they could not react in time. This drizzle of black ripple flooded over them!
The grand and mighty drizzle of ripple was akin to black wind storming over them.
“Chi chi chi~” The apex protectors who had strong physiques, were greatly horrified. Under the terrifying ripple, they could not maintain their body at all and soon later, their bodies shattered.
Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master resided at the center of the Ancestor Mother Religion protectors. Even though the three Holy Protectors were shielding him, this ripple was present everywhere! Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master was weak in survival–his physique could hardly compare with those of the apex protectors. His body had been fragmented in a single instance. His true deity heart also burst apart. That long narrow eyes of his gawked at the distant Xue Ying, gaping at the Black Gourd which spurted out such terrifying might.
‘I actually perished in the hands of Dong Bo Xue Ying in the end. That’s good too, very good…” Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master had just a single thought flashing by before his consciousness dissipated.
“Ah ah ah~” The muscular man with a pole was roaring in pain. He survived for more than a single instance. He was able to perceive as his body, his blood, his muscles, and his bones were torn apart. His cry could not even be heard outside because everything around him was overwhelmed by the ripple! He soon disappeared after resisting for a few moments.
The golden-haired monkey tried to escape, but this drizzle of dark ripple prevented him from moving. His body was rapidly shredded. His hair and skin were ripped; his blood and muscles were destroyed. The ferocious face of his crumbled steadily over time. After enduring for a few moments more than the muscular man with a pole, he was eventually annihilated as well, leaving not a single particle behind.
Finally, only the venom-tailed girl was left! Her body was disintegrating at the slowest pace compared to the others. With every single part of her body being as firm as weapons, the injuries were slow to appear.
She wanted to escape.
But this ripple had permeated through every single part of her body. It was wrecking it within the deepest layer, wrestling away all control she had over it. Over time, that deepest layer of her body underwent destruction and she finally dissipated.
All the protectors from the Ancestor Mother Religion had been exterminated under the terrifying drizzle of ripple. None were alive!
After all, the power of this Black Gourd could even tear apart the world membrane where Xue Ying’s disciple ‘Little Chong Seven’ lived. This was a protective treasure bestowed by the Senior Voidwalker. Even though he could only engage this gourd for a short period–his soul would not be able to take it any further–this power was enough to change even the expressions of Rulers, much less these protectors.
…
Water Devil King was seated on his butt with his head lowered. The White Sovereign King was raving in madness. Devil Phoenix stood by herself in desolation. Monarch Hex Cricket remained silent as he sat cross-legged. They were all in despair and had given up the battle. Acute helplessness had already wrapped over them.
They could not see any strands of hope.
At the moment when Xue Ying brought out the Black Gourd, they could not help but look over.
“This is?” Water Devil King, White Sovereign King, Devil Phoenix and Monarch Hex Cricket were subconsciously following this scene as Xue Ying had never brought out the Black Gourd in his battle before. Maybe it was a strange treasure as impressive as the one Heavenly Emperor of Great Destruction had?
“Hong–”
That booming black drizzle of ripple which brought them terror abruptly swept across the protectors from the Ancestor Mother Religion.
The four of them were staring petrified.
They saw as the protectors of the Ancestor Mother Religion were eradicated. Even Bamboo Mountain Prefecture Master was similarly destroyed. Those three powerful Holy Protectors might have lasted for a more extended period, but they were annihilated in the end. Furthermore, this black ripple did not end there. Every single area it spread to was destroyed–the land and the mountains. Even the void shattered apart under this force, revealing the gold array markings behind.
This power was beyond the frightening weapon which the Ancestor Mother Religion employed previously.
“Bu!” Xue Ying suddenly stopped using the array of the Black Gourd. At that moment, the black ripple disappeared. He also plugged the cork back.
Surges of pain struck his mind. His true deity heart was shrouded with a black aura–this black aura was malignant to his true deity heart. Despite how strong his deity heart was, he could not cope with the impure aura. He had to expel it slowly over time, and only after it was removed could he recover back to his usual state.
…
In the starry sky outside the Primal Chaos Flying Ship.
The Rulers had initially given up–even Bloodshed God-Emperor was thinking of how to deal with the Religious Leaders who had this mysterious Primal Chaos Flying Ship. He was thinking bitterly about how he should increase their chances of winning. Despite that, due to the lack of knowledge of this flying vessel, he could not think of an appropriate strategy to deal with it.
“That is…” Bloodshed God-Emperor and the other Rulers might have given up, but they were still paying close attention to what was happening within.
Xue Ying had stood up ahead of the rest.
He was not willing to admit defeat; he wanted to continue fighting.
But suddenly, he took out the Black Gourd and unplugged the cork. Everything changed!
The Ancestor Mother Religion protectors were exterminated. Even the three Holy Protectors were killed.
“We won?”
“We have won the battle?”
Temporal Island Lord could not help but exclaim in shock. Empress Qian He could also not believe what just happened, “This, what is this…”
The eyes of Bloodshed God-Emperor brightened. He could not restrain himself from revealing a bright grin, “Who would have thought that Xue Ying will have such a strange treasure. Even though this strange treasure might be crude with its usage, and that it is used for a direct attack without containing any variability, its power is extreme!”
“Mn, its power is indeed extreme. Even we do not dare to resist it with our bodies.” Primal Master nodded too. They would be sending themselves to their deaths if they did so!
Even though they were saying how intimidating the gourd was, they were merely words! Instead, they felt ecstatic at this very moment; they were only focusing on how brilliant this strange treasure was and not how threatening it was to them! Because they were Rulers and had grasped hold of a ‘Dao’ in the Ruler realm. If they could not resist it the power of the Black Gourd, they could always evade! The moment a Dao reached the ‘Ruler Realm’, it would undergo a qualitative change. Monarch Green’s previous three Daos had all reached the limit and could be used in tandem flawlessly, yet he could barely fight Bloody Ruler who was concealing his real power.
A Dao that reached the Ruler realm was a Dao that reached eternity. It had formed its own law and domain, and everything would go according to what the Ruler himself wanted. That was the power of a Ruler.
Thus, it was almost improbable for Paragons to fight against Rulers.
…
The Rulers outside the ship were exceptionally overjoyed. As for the Paragons within the Primal Chaos Flying Ship, they were currently shouting out in elation: “Dong Bo…!”
Xue Ying might be feeling tides of pain overwhelming his mind, but he still revealed a grin. They won. There was indeed no unforeseen circumstances.
He immediately collected the treasures left behind by the protectors. After all, the strange treasure of the Heavenly Emperor of Great Destruction, the ancient stone plate array, and many other treasures were left there.
“Fortunately, we are careful enough.” A low voice uttered.
At that moment, four figures emerged.
It was the golden-haired monkey leading them with three other apex protectors behind.
“You all…” Xue Ying was stunned.
“Why, thinking how unexpected this is?” The golden-haired monkey sneered, “This is a war between our two races. We have no path of retreat. If we lose, we will die. Our true bodies will die too. We will naturally not hesitate to stake everything to win this war. Thus, our true bodies have come too! Right now, there are just four of us here. But other protectors are hiding at this moment to prevent you from wiping us with your Black Gourd. The few of us have come to play with you first! We will be here to send ourselves to death before them. I honestly would want to see how many times you can use that gourd in your hand, and how many protectors you can kill!”
