Chapter 686 - 686:1 Reject! (2)
It was the Heavenly Mystery Mask!
At the same time, the fight against the gray pillar of light cast by the petrified face above the Imperial Domain had already reached its climax. The white beam of light shot out by the Eye of the Emperor Judgment had already occupied an absolute advantage. It was pushing the gray pillar of light cast by the petrified face towards it.
This made all the Daolords heave a sigh of relief.
Apart from Cheng Riyou, the others all knew the origin of this petrified face, so they felt a lot of pressure from the moment they saw this petrified face. Fortunately, they joined forces and successfully blocked this petrified face.
Next, as long as they waited for the white beam of light shot out by the Eye of the Emperor Judgment to hit the petrified face, they could completely resolve the crisis this time.
However, just as the white beam of light shot out by the Eye of the Emperor Judgment was about to hit the petrified face, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly spread from outside the Imperial Domain.
After being blocked and weakened by the Imperial Domain, less than 10% of this power remained. However, when this power surged into the Imperial Domain from outside and augmented the petrified face, the petrified face immediately became much stronger. It instantly increased the power of the gray pillar of light that was originally pushed back. It directly suppressed the white beam, causing the entire white beam to fall.
This sudden scene shocked everyone.
“It’s those three guys!!” These Daolords instantly realized that the power that suddenly appeared came from the three demigod Heavenly Kings outside.
Although the three demigod Heavenly Kings could not see the situation in the Imperial Domain, when they sensed that this petrified face had appeared in the Imperial Domain, they immediately had the thought of using this petrified face to further severely injure the Great Wu Empire.
To them, this petrified face was like a weapon that extended into the Imperial Domain. Naturally, they would not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They immediately transmitted their power to strengthen the petrified face in the Imperial Domain. They planned to use the “weapon”, the petrified face, to deal with the Great Wu Empire!
Even though their power could not be completely transmitted into the Imperial Domain, and most of it would dissipate under the barrier of the Imperial Domain, they successfully added a portion of their power to the petrified face with the combined strength of the three of them, greatly strengthening it.
As a result, the situation was instantly reversed.
“Damn it!” All the Daolords had solemn expressions. At this moment, they had already used all their strength. They no longer had any excess strength to resist the petrified face that had the augmentation of the three demigod Heavenly Kings.
An incomparably strong sense of danger filled each of their hearts.
Chen Yuan sighed. There was determination in his eyes. “Senior, use your full strength.” He knew that the current Eye of the Emperor Judgment still had most of its power and had not been used.
“If I use my full strength, your body will definitely not be able to withstand it. At that time… you will die!” The Artifact Spirit said.
“It doesn’t matter. This is my fate.” Chen Yuan smiled, his eyes filled with deep fatigue. “I should have died with Master long ago. Back then, Master chose to let me live because he wanted to hand the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect to me so that I could continue to lead the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and protect the Great Wu Empire.
“However, Master neglected something. Not every person in power is worth our lives. If the one in charge of the Great Wu Empire is that person from back then, our Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect will definitely be at his beck and call.
“But this person now…” Chen Yuan lowered his head. He glanced at the prince in the palace below. For the first time, his eyes revealed disappointment and… disgust for the prince. It wasn’t that he didn’t feel what the Imperial Prince had done all these years. However, his duty… made him have no choice but to completely bury these feelings.
He was tired. He did not want to be trapped by his duties anymore. He wanted to do what he wanted to do.
Chen Yuan looked up. He focused his gaze on the petrified face above again. He had no fear of death. It was as if death was not a terrifying thing for him. Instead, it was a relief.
“Since you insist.” After the Eye of the Emperor Judgment understood Chen Yuan’s intentions, the entire eye that was as deep as the starry sky suddenly emitted a blazing light. Spatial layers appeared in the eye one after another.
A peerlessly terrifying aura instantly surged from Chen Yuan. It was not only the Eye of the Emperor Judgment that had cracked between the brows. Even in his eye sockets, terrifying spatial lamination appeared. Streams of power that seemed to be able to destroy the world jumped around his body like electric arcs.
A demigod’s might spread out in all directions. It caused the world to change color! It distorted the void! It made the Imperial Domain tremble!
At this moment, Chen Yuan was like a revived war god. With the enhancement of the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, he had the strength of a demigod. Just his gaze alone directly caused the gray pillar of light cast by the petrified face to distort and shatter into thin air.
This terrifying scene made everyone who saw this gasp.
The gray pillar of light cast by the petrified face had already become extremely powerful with the enhancement of the three demigod Heavenly Kings outside. But now, Chen Yuan had destroyed the pillar of light with just a look. This gave everyone a deeper understanding of the power of a demigod.
After destroying the gray pillar of light cast by the petrified face, Chen Yuan’s gaze was still focused on the petrified face in the sky. He raised his hand and grabbed around. All the power of the few Daolords beside him was sucked over by Chen Yuan. As a result, the figures of these Daolords instantly fell from the sky. They felt as if their entire bodies had been emptied. They even lost the strength to fly and were completely ‘squeezed dry’.
After absorbing all the power of these Daolords, the aura emitted from Chen Yuan’s body became even more shocking. His figure flashed. He instantly appeared in front of the petrified face. He clasped his palms together.
Pfft! Like a sharp knife, it suddenly pierced through the bridge of the petrified face’s nose. It easily pierced through the surface of the petrified face. Immediately after, Chen Yuan’s left and right hands supported the two ends of the petrified face. At this moment, the entire petrified face trembled. The parts that had been pierced gathered crazily in the middle, wanting to heal.
Gray patterns extended from Chen Yuan’s hands in an attempt to petrify him. However, before these patterns could take shape, they were evaporated and dispersed by the stronger power on Chen Yuan’s body. It was impossible to petrify it.
“Break!” Chen Yuan roared. He pulled with all his might with both hands. It directly tore the entire huge petrified face into two from the middle.
This shocking scene caused huge waves to rise in the hearts of everyone who saw it. After all, this petrified face was so huge that it almost occupied the entire sky. In front of it, Chen Yuan was as tiny as an ant.
But now, Chen Yuan tore it open with his bare hands. In terms of vision, it gave people a strong feeling that Chen Yuan had torn apart the sky. The entire petrified face that was torn apart by Chen Yuan shattered with a bang, turning into fragments that scattered in the sky.
Chen Yuan floated in the sky. His body was still suffused with a powerful and terrifying aura. However, there was a crack between his eyebrows that spread all the way down and instantly filled his entire body.
The power of a demigod was far from what a Daolord could withstand. While Chen Yuan obtained the power of a demigod, he would also face the price of his body collapsing.
Although the prince tried his best to block the Emperor Sword that Xiao Shi slashed down, he had been paying attention to the situation above. When he saw Chen Yuan destroy the petrified face above the Imperial Domain with the strength of a demigod, He immediately shouted in surprise, “Suppress him immediately! Suppress him!!”
Although Chen Yuan’s body was already on the verge of collapse, he could completely suppress Xiao Shi before he completely collapsed. To Chen Yuan, who had the strength of a demigod, suppressing a Sage was just a thought.
Faced with the orders of the prince, Chen Yuan lowered his head slightly. His face that was covered in cracks could no longer show any expression. However, a thunderous voice came from his mouth and echoed in the sky of the entire Imperial Domain, turning into two words.
“I refuse!”
