Chapter 2066 - 2067: Shattering the Underground Palace (2nd Update)
Chapter 2066: Chapter 2067: Shattering the Underground Palace (2nd Update)
Regardless of whether it was the frontal assault or the sneak approach from behind, all blood vessels were shattered at the same moment.
Instantly, the heart curled up, evidently in extreme pain.
But its reaction speed was incredibly fast. Soon, the radiance covering its body gradually faded, as it attempted to escape.
However, Xue An did not give it the opportunity.
With a flash of his figure, Xue An appeared before the heart, then raised his hand to grab into the void.
Puff!
The heart, which had already mostly faded away, was forcibly grasped in Xue An’s hand.
The blood vessels thrashed wildly, like the last struggle of a dying person.
But Xue An didn’t even blink, and all the rushing blood vessels were shattered by sword light in an instant.
Then, Xue An exerted force with his arm, slowly but steadily pulling the heart out from the void.
Throughout the process, the heart struggled desperately, causing cracks to appear in the void, showing the immense power.
But all its struggles were futile before Xue An.
Only a dull thud was heard as the heart was forcibly extracted from the void.
Seeing the heart again, it was like an octopus emerging from water, the blood vessels quickly contracting and tightly wrapping around itself.
Immediately following, the blood vessels turned stiff gray, evidently very tough.
But Xue An merely smiled coldly and said lightly, "A turtle in a jar, still attempting to resist?"
The heart remained motionless.
Light flashed in Xue An’s eyes, "Very well, since that is the case, I will fulfill your wish!"
With that, Xue An slowly raised the Heaven Punishing Sword in his hand, pointed its tip directly at the heart, and shouted coldly.
"Break!"
Puff!
As the Heaven Punishing Sword plunged down, the hard shell was easily cut open like tofu, the blade piercing straight in.
In an instant, the heart began to struggle in extreme pain and emitted cries resembling those of an infant, stirring a sympathetic feeling in anyone who heard it.
But these tricks were of no use to Xue An.
Xue An remained utterly calm, holding the Heaven Punishing Sword, and suddenly flipped his wrist.
The blade stirred forcefully within the heart, causing blood to gush out.
But strangely, the blood did not spill into the void; instead, it was absorbed directly by the Heaven Punishing Sword.
The entire blade seemed like a desert that had been scorched by the sun for countless years, greedily sucking up the blood.
The force was so great that one could see blood being wildly absorbed by the Heaven Punishing Sword.
The heart began to emit cries of despair, struggling desperately to escape the Heaven Punishing Sword.
But it was all in vain.
The Heaven Punishing Sword clung like a maggot to bone, unmoved by the heart’s struggles, and instead intensified its absorption.
Finally.
After a nearly frenzied struggle, the heart’s movements grew stiff, and its size began to shrink.
Meanwhile, the aura of the Heaven Punishing Sword only grew stronger.
Eventually, after an utterly despairing groan, the heart came to a halt completely, and it began to crack piece by piece.
Bang!
After being drained of all its blood, the heart finally exploded into powder, dissipating into nothingness.
Amidst the swirling dust, a brilliant sword light burst forth, circled Xue An several times before finally hovering before him.
At this moment, looking at the Heaven Punishing Sword again, there was basically no change, except for a hint of red pattern faintly appearing on the blade.
But the pattern was so weak that without careful observation, it would be hard to notice.
Xue An smiled slightly at the Sword Cultivators.
"Alright, this passage has been removed, now it’s time to deal with Dou Yin’an!"
Then Xue An raised his hand, gently grasping the Heaven Punishing Sword, his gaze becoming increasingly brilliant.
"Everyone, take action together, break this Underground Palace, and fight our way out!"
As he spoke, Xue An’s aura began to climb step by step, reaching an unimaginably fierce realm in no time.
Under the rampant power, even the void started to destabilize, exploding in pieces.
Subsequently, Xue An took a deep breath, a chaotic airflow swept through, like a hurricane raging across the world.
"Slash!"
The Heaven Punishing Sword released an almost transparent sword intent, slashing directly into the void ahead.
The first to shatter was the layer of void forming the world of the Underground Palace, which shattered like an eggshell.
Soon after, the rampant sword intent struck an incredibly hard barrier.
Ding!
After a faintly audible crisp sound, countless sparks ignited in the large hole in the shattered void.
That was the result of Xue An’s sword intent clashing directly with the barrier.
As the sparks slightly subsided, a deeper wound became visible on the originally void darkness within the large hole.
That was the mark left by Xue An’s sword.
However, it could be seen that the wound was rapidly healing.
These Sword Cultivators were not fools; naturally, they couldn’t sit by and watch this scene unfold.
In fact, as Xue An’s sword was released, they were already prepared.
It’s just that the sword’s power Xue An had just manifested was too overwhelming, enough to overshadow everyone’s sword intent.
As soon as Xue An’s sword intent dissipated, their attacks arrived.
Though far weaker than Xue An’s, they were numerous, creating quite a terrifying momentum.
Countless sword lights condensed into a rainbow light, continuously bombarding the wound.
The darkness swirled endlessly, and the wound gradually tore open; a faint light even began to appear at the end of the darkness.
Yet this moment, the combined attack of the Sword Cultivators was nearing its end.
If this attack couldn’t fully rip the barrier open and required regathering sword intent, it would be a wasted effort.
After all... even Xue An couldn’t ensure every sword was full of sword intent.
But things often turn out like this; victory is within reach, yet just falls short.
The void barrier was torn to the limit; even one more sword light might completely break it.
Helplessly, all sword lights had already fallen.
As the warriors showed their dissatisfaction, suddenly, figures charged up, launching attacks at the wound in the void.
Initially stunned, the warriors then murmured softly.
The attackers were none other than the zombie allies.
They crazily pounded the wound; every strike caused it to expand further.
Xue An noticed this, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Meanwhile.
After the final blow, the void barrier emitted a groan of unbearable burden, finally shattering completely, transforming into a huge opening.
Through the opening, outside the Underground Palace, stood the Profound Ming Tomb.
