Chapter 261
Although he barely managed to deflect the spear, he was still sent flying more than a hundred zhang (330 meters) backward.
This scene left the dozens of Void Refinement cultivators in the hall utterly speechless.
Senior Brother Wang Yuan was a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator! He had reached the late stage at just 1,900 years old, making him a top-tier talent. It was only a matter of time before he stepped into the Dao Integration Realm.
Yet now, he had been repelled by a single strike from Yu Zun.
“Cousin, stop this at once!” At this moment, Yu Xuan hurried forward to stop Yu Zun from making another move. “Cousin, though Aunt arranged my engagement to the Holy Son, I truly like him! We are in love! You shouldn’t interfere!”
As she finished speaking, Yu Xuan reached out with her jade-like hand and wrapped it around Yang Chen’s arm.
Her pristine face turned slightly red, and her beautiful eyes secretly glanced at Yang Chen.
Seeing that he did not resist, she let out a sigh of relief. Then, looking back at Yu Zun, she thought to herself: I hope my cousin will back down after seeing that I willingly accept this engagement and make peace with the Holy Son.
However, upon witnessing this scene, Yu Zun’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. The veins on his forehead bulged, his expression twisted in rage. His cousin had embraced Yang Chen in front of everyone! She even declared that she liked him!
They were in love? And he was meddling?
“You bastard—! Yang Chen! I’ll kill you!” Yu Zun roared.
The jade-white light around him flickered with a faint trace of blood-red.
[Ding! Yu Xuan has publicly expressed her admiration for the host. Yu Zun’s mental state has collapsed. You have plundered 1,000 Points of Providence Luck from the Heaven’s Chosen, Yu Zun! The host has gained 1,000 VPs!]
Hearing the system’s notification in his mind and feeling the incredible softness against his arm, Yang Chen’s lips curled into a smirk.
This Yu Xuan … Not bad.
Not only had she given him an unexpected divine assist—Her figure was also quite remarkable.
As expected of Yu Yourong’s niece.
You Rong Nai Da. (Generosity leads to greatness.)
Her niece was certainly not to be underestimated either.
…
“Yang Chen! I swear I’ll kill you!” Yu Zun saw the look of enjoyment on Yang Chen’s face, along with the smirk at the corner of his lips, and his fury could no longer be contained. It exploded in full force.
The jade-white divine brilliance around him darkened, with a third of it turning blood-red.
Boom!
A blood-colored spear suddenly appeared in Yu Zun’s hands. A dense aura of slaughter filled the grand hall, making the dozens of Void Refinement cultivators shiver instinctively.
Against Yang Chen, Yu Zun held nothing back. He would use his most overwhelming power to crush Yang Chen completely.
Only by doing this could he rebuild his invincible Dao heart.
Although this Blood Jade Dragon Spear was a forbidden weapon in the Jade Clan. If discovered, it would be confiscated, and he himself would face punishment.
At this moment, nothing mattered more than defeating Yang Chen, trampling him underfoot, and restoring his invincible Dao heart.
The blood-red spear seemed to have a will of its own, influencing the mind. Yu Zun gripped the spear tightly, his eyes turning crimson.
The divine brilliance around him fully transformed into blood-red light. He looked like a demon god from the depths of hell. His aura was utterly oppressive.
“This is … the Blood Jade Dragon Spear?” Yu Xuan suddenly gasped. “I never expected my cousin to have obtained that cursed spear! It looks like his last defeat had a massive impact on his state of mind. Otherwise, with his original temperament, he wouldn’t have been able to sense the Blood Jade Dragon Spear!”
As she spoke, she noticed the confusion on Yang Chen’s face and quickly explained: “The Blood Jade Dragon Spear was forged tens of thousands of years ago by a Jade Clan Venerable after he slew a Bloodthirsty Demon Dragon, using its spine as the spear’s core! Because the dragon’s bloodthirsty nature remained, the spear influences the wielder’s mind, driving them to madness and slaughter! That’s why, although this spear rivals sacred artifacts, it has always been sealed within that Venerable’s tomb!”
“A spear forged from a demon dragon’s spine? Comparable to a sacred artifact?” Yang Chen latched onto the key phrases. His eyebrows arched slightly. He truly lived up to the title of Heaven’s Chosen.
The moment his invincible Dao heart shattered, a new opportunity immediately presented itself.
“So, it’s that infamous demonic spear. I’ve read about it in ancient texts … No wonder Yu Zun has changed so drastically! Back then, even that Jade Clan Venerable was corrupted by the spear’s demonic nature, slaughtering countless fellow disciples and leaving the Holy Land severely weakened!”
“Holy Son, with the Blood Jade Dragon Spear in his hands, Yu Zun has an immense advantage. You must not fight him head-on! A direct clash will only result in mutual destruction!”
“Yu Xuan, quickly notify the Holy Lord! I will hold Yu Zun back!”
At that moment, Wang Yuan, the Level 7 Void Refinement cultivator, spoke up. His true essence surged. His presence was now on par with Yu Zun’s.
Clearly, when he had been repelled earlier, he had not been using his full strength. Now, he was unleashing the true power of a late-stage Void Refinement genius.
“You?!” Yu Zun’s gaze was filled with contempt.
With a sudden thrust of his spear. A massive dragon, glowing blood-red, roared toward Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan’s body was wrapped in an earthy yellow aura, condensing into a nine-layered pagoda.
Buzz!
The blood dragon clashed against the pagoda, sending violent ripples of true essence through the Heavenly Dao Hall, causing the entire structure to tremble.
The shockwave forced more than a dozen early-stage Void Refinement cultivators to stumble backward.
Pfft!
In mere moments. The pagoda shattered. Wang Yuan coughed up blood.
“So strong!” His expression turned bitter.
Reaching the late-stage Void Refinement Realm before 2,000 years old, he had always been proud of himself. He had full confidence that within a millennium, he would reach the Dao Integration Realm.
Even if he wasn’t as gifted as the Holy Son or Holy Maiden, he was not far behind. Yet, at this moment, he was utterly defeated by Yu Zun, who was two minor realms below him.
Yu Zun’s spear lunged forward once more. The blood-red dragon charged directly at Wang Yuan.
“Senior brother Wang Yuan! Watch out!” Several Void Refinement cultivators hurriedly warned him.
If Yu Zun’s spear landed, Wang Yuan would either die or suffer grave injuries. He would no longer be able to enter the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.
Wang Yuan snapped back to his senses, hastily forming hand seals in defense.
However, in his hurried state, the nine-layered pagoda he conjured was far weaker than before. Against the blood-red dragon, it was utterly useless and crumbled instantly.
“Enough!”
Yang Chen’s voice rang out. A ripple of space formed in front of Wang Yuan.
Then, the once-solid space shattered. A pitch-black rift appeared, swallowing the blood-red dragon whole. The spatial rift quickly sealed itself.
As if nothing had ever happened.
But the sight left every Void Refinement cultivator in the hall completely stunned.
Yu Zun’s all-out killing strike, which even Wang Yuan, a Level 7 Void Refinement expert, could barely withstand had been nullified effortlessly by the Holy Son.
