Chapter 481: Orthopedics Or Neurosurgery
The two shadows exhibited immense strength, almost unbelievably so. They appeared nebulous yet possessing devastating power.
In this era, few could confront a supreme treasure without trepidation, yet they boldly pressed forward, leaving a trail of carnage in their wake.
They used the Bearer of the Old Covenant from this mythological era and clashed with the Immortal Umbrella which caused it to tremble and its owner to grunt. Even those nearby spewed blood because of the clash.
"Do you think merely surviving another mythological age makes you superior to everyone else? If you were truly capable, you wouldn't have struggled in this era without finding a new path forward!" declared the woman among the two shadows, activating the Bearer of the Old Covenant with relentless determination.
"Her true identity must be a peerless transcendent, don't you think?" someone murmured. The sudden revelation sent shockwaves through everyone that were present, instilling a sense of dread as they realized the formidable aura emanating from the shadowy figure, especially when she became enraged.
Crack!
Though the man within the shadow remained silent, his activation of the Bearer of the Old Covenant unleashed thunderous roars, bombarding both the Immortal Umbrella and those nearby.
Puff!
While the Immortal Umbrella managed to block the onslaught, sparing its owner from harm, each thunderous blast was as formidable as a mountain, causing even the gods to tremble. Many figures disintegrated into a mist of blood and were evaporated by the lightning.
Even the mighty gods were sent flying. Their bodies were charred, their shoulder blades shattered, and blood spattered in all directions. It's worth noting that they were taking refuge beside the Immortal Umbrella's owner and were protected by the expanding patterns of the Great Dao. However, even this defense proved insufficient against the relentless onslaught.
Boom!
Once again, the two wielded their dim Bearer of the Old Covenant, employing a simple yet brutal approach as they smashed toward the Immortal Umbrella. They seemed willing to risk it all just to crush the old monster who had lived through two mythological ages.
Everyone was shocked.
Who exactly were these two great gods?
After becoming enraged, they began smashing in a manner that disregarded all reason, purely relying on their overwhelming strength without considering the consequences.
Demon Lord Yan Yan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her expression was initially puzzled but it grew brighter as she swiftly rushed forward. Engaging the enemy, she glanced sideways at the two figures. She was smiling. Her red dress fluttered in the wind, and her breathtaking beauty radiated through the air. However, as she smiled, tears of emotion welled up on her exquisite face.
This gave people a strange feeling. Many were puzzled, especially those from the opposing camp.
What was happening to the foremost figure of the Demon Clan in the Land of Immortals?
Old Zhang and the Hades Blood Patriarch joined the fray as they were also nearby. Even they seemed lost in thought and could vaguely guess at the situation.
Unable to resist, the man among the two shadows reached out and touched the Demon Lord's head. This action left both allies and enemies dumbfounded, as it seemed completely out of character.
Was there really a man bold enough to lay hands on Demon Lord Yan Yan?
"Who are you touching?!" Old Zhang said with a sharp tongue just as always. He never failed to display his distinctive style, even in the midst of an intense combat. As a result, the man in the shadows glanced at him.
"Little Zhang!" The Demon Lord turned her head and gave him a fierce glare.
"Zhang Patriarch, are you out of your mind?" The Hades Blood Patriarch murmured, then chuckled to himself.
Meanwhile, in the real world, aboard the spaceship in outer space. Wang Xuan dropped his chopsticks with a clatter while he was preparing to enjoy Roc meat hotpot and watch the divine battle.
Do they just hand over treasures whenever they like? Who were these two and where did they come from?
They had already noticed the tacit understanding between the two shadowy figures and Fang Yuzhu. Neither of the two were vying for the newly captured supreme treasure. They had previously mentioned giving Fang Yuzhu the bracelet and were now asking for her help in retrieving the Immortal Umbrella.
Was there some sort of agreement?
As the Celestial Bracelet tightened, the patterns of the Great Dao surged and had suppressed the Immortal Umbrella. The main reason was that its owner couldn't hold on anymore, his body was depleted and was inferior to Fang Yuzhu. With a puff, the old monster who had lived through two mythological eras coughed up blood heavily and was on the verge of destruction. He felt somewhat unwilling. Was he going to escape? He truly couldn't bear to part with the supreme treasures.
The gods were shocked.
Could the Great Barrier that corresponded to Land of the Undying really lose two supreme treasures in one day?
Everyone felt a chill down their spine. This deal probably went terribly wrong. They didn't know if the ancestors of the Superlative Palace and the Imperial Palace of Gouchen had managed to obtain the Ascension Banner and the Roaming Ark.
In the real world, in outer space, Wang Xuan relaxed and enjoyed a feast with those around him aboard the spaceship. They watched as various extraordinary battles unfolded.
"Once things go south, we'll make a run for it. For now, let's just enjoy the show and witness this epic battle. Scenes like this might be rare in the future. This marks the grand finale of the myth," Wang Xuan remarked.
"Grandpa Liu, this toast is for you. It's heartwarming to finally see Old Chen reunited with you. He often reminisces about you and was always with a hint of sadness," he added.
"Master, I'll raise a glass to you too!" said Chen Yongjie.
Amidst the intense fighting outside, even the ferryman Xu Fu was nearby, chasing after mighty gods with his Space-Time Mace. Despite this, they all leisurely exchanged toasts, chatting away and enjoying the battle between gods.
"Old Grandpa, here's to you as well. Returning victorious from battles in foreign realms surely brings good fortune," said Zhao Qinghan with a smile, raising her glass. Then she whispered to Wang Xuan, "Is your health issue serious?"
"It's nothing serious. If things go awry, I'll just take it easy from now on," Wang Xuan replied with a smile, drawing a glance from Zhao Qinghan and a disdainful look from Wu Yin.
He was feeling quite cheerful now as he had figured out some crucial issues. Previously, he had overlooked an important clue. Now, everything became clear upon retrospection.
Years ago, the Demon Lord's parents risked their lives to return from the spiritual realm outside the Old World. They had been gone for who knows how many years and had barely survived to reach the mortal realm. And there's one more person, the progenitor of the Demon Four lineage, the strongest in the Demonic Cultivation, the Demon Emperor. He had also returned through that spiritual space. Last time, the Demon Four even went there to search for traces. What did this lineage excel in? The Spirit Coffin Grand Technique was created by the Demon Emperor!
Wang Xuan believed that the Demon Lord's parents likely encountered the Demon Emperor on the road which led to a fierce battle. In the end, the couple probably emerged victorious, survived, and obtained the Spirit Coffin Grand Technique.
Upon their return, they must have integrated this supreme technique with the top-notch methods of the Demon Clan. They lived within the minds of others and woke up occasionally but they were mostly in a slumber.
"There are some flaws though. Can ordinary people bear their powerful spirits? And how come their bodies remain undamaged and exceptionally strong?" Wang Xuan frowned, pondering for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps it's possible. The Spirit Coffin Grand Technique must have been modified."
......
In the Land of the Undying, within the Great Barrier, the ownership of two treasures had changed hands. The old monster was unwilling but powerless, he could only watch as the Immortal Umbrella got imprisoned. He could only bleed and flee, but was struck in the back by a thick bolt of lightning and exploded!
The two shadowy figures launched a ruthless attack on him, seeking justice for Demon Lord Yan Yan. They showed no mercy and killed him.
"Don’t I still have a little brother?" asked Demon Lord Yan Yan as she looked at the two shadowy figures. With various thoughts in mind, she didn't immediately refine the Immortal Umbrella.
Not far away, Old Zhang and Hades Blood Patriarch were stunned.
What's going on?
There was definitely big and interesting news. The two of them sneakily approached to eavesdrop.
