Chapter 391: Unparalleled Elegance

The Divine King’s demeanor was as it had always been, his white robes unsullied by dust, his black hair gently swaying, and his eyes as deep as the ocean, exuding an unmatched splendor.

He walked forward, step by step, causing the eleven Holy Lords and two old monstrous experts to instinctively recoil, each person filled with fear.

The peerless Divine King, resurrected, faced thirteen supreme powerhouses alone, yet moved as if unhindered, intimidating everyone with his astonishing might.

Some of the powerful lords present wished to retreat, but the thought of the Divine City being sealed made their hearts sink. Perhaps a desperate, do-or-die battle was their only option.

“Boom!” The Divine King’s aura surged dramatically, his snow-white sleeves fluttering as hundreds of divine lights erupted around him, connecting with the sky.

Each light was incredibly thick, like dazzling pillars supporting the heavens, tearing through the night sky and piercing the firmament, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

This was the peerless Divine King’s killing intent!

Four millennia of separation, his beloved now aged, her body covered by a white cloth, a scene of solitude and profound sorrow. This was his great anguish.

The peerless Divine King was not one to wail or shed tears like rain; yet, his pain and sorrow were even more agonizing, his heart filled with an immense desolation that outsiders could hardly comprehend.

Killing intent permeated the air, making the entire Divine City feel as though it had entered the depths of winter, with endless fallen leaves swirling, filled with a desolate and murderous aura.

“Boom!” Jiang Taixu made his move. In a single step, he appeared before the eleven Holy Lords, and beside him, the soaring light beams transformed into peerless sword gleams, all striking forward in unison.

The Battle Saint Art!

This was the Divine King’s first display of the Nine Secrets, an offensive sacred art whose destructive power was unmatched in the world. At this moment, everyone’s expression changed as they resisted with all their might.

The Divine King’s black hair danced wildly, his gaze as sharp as a blade. With every movement of his hands and feet, thousands of sword gleams shot out, riddling the void like a honeycomb, utterly piercing it.

“Clang, clang, clang!” The eleven great experts and two old monstrous experts were all enveloped by the sword gleams. This was a soul-deep deterrence as the Divine King’s blade-like killing intent surged in all directions.

“Buzz!” The void was torn open as Jiang Taixu extended a large hand, transforming into the embodiment of the Dao, and forcibly seized a Holy Lord.

“This…” Everyone was horrified. The Divine King’s heaven-defying methods, with a single display of his secret art, allowed him to capture even a great expert, making escape utterly impossible. This sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

“Divine King, have mercy…” This Holy Lord was terrified. At this moment of life and death, he shouted loudly, attempting to offer some explanation.

“Pfft!” However, Jiang Taixu gave him no chance at all. Unmoved, he swiped his large hand forcefully. Blood splattered in mid-air, and a generation’s mighty lord was instantly reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

“Boom!” This part of heaven and earth seemed to boil. The peerless Divine King’s display of the Battle Saint Art meant he was about to unleash a massacre! Everyone knew he had been the strongest fighter for five millennia; once the Battle Character Art was unleashed, who could contend with him?

“Everyone, do you still want to live?” roared a peerless old monstrous expert. “If you don’t want to die, then strike with all your might!”

No one could remain calm. The Divine King’s rage caused this part of heaven and earth to tremble; his might was terrifying beyond compare. He had already obliterated a Holy Lord, so they had to commit to a final stand and fight him to the death.

Because, at present, there was no way to escape the Divine City; the Hengyu Saint Cauldron had sealed the ancient city, completely isolating it from the outside world.

“Boom!” An immense bone banner descended, suppressing them, standing majestically, as heavy and massive as a mountain of bones!

This was a weapon that a peerless old monstrous expert had refined throughout his life, long since interwoven with terrifying rules of heaven and earth, a heavy artifact of dreadful power.

“Bang!” Yet, facing the demonic banner as vast as a mountain of bones, Jiang Taixu remained fearless. He charged forward bravely and punched towards the sky.

“Boom!” At the same time, the others also made their moves, their heavy artifacts interwoven with laws transforming into cosmic stars that descended with crushing force.

Boundless pressure connected together, forming a peerless killing intent that completely enveloped the Divine King.

The Divine King was unmatched, bolts of lightning shooting from his eyes, his long black hair flying backward. He ascended against the heavens, moving ever forward, showing no signs of retreat.

“Dong!” The ancient Heaven-Devouring Demonic Pot vibrated gently, emitting a chilling aura that blocked nearly all the divine weapons filling the sky.

The Divine King was unmatched, his sharpness fully revealed, as if he had returned to four millennia ago, full of vigor and spirit, solely supreme. Innate Dao imprints, incredibly profound, appeared on his fists.

“Boom!” His terrifying punch struck directly onto the mountain-like bone banner, causing heaven and earth to tremble as if an ancient battlefield had been resurrected, with boundless armies engaged in fierce combat, rumbling sounds echoing.

“Crack!” The Battle Saint Art’s attack power was unmatched in the world!

When the Divine King raged, heaven and earth lost their color. His fists, manifesting divine patterns of heaven and earth, shattered the bone banner high in the sky, emitting cracking sounds.

Then, with a “boom,” it exploded, completely turning into fine dust, light shooting out in all directions and white bone fragments flying, like a blooming firework.

“Ah…” As Jiang Taixu destroyed the bone banner and approached, that old monstrous expert screamed loudly. Blood flowed from his glabella as he was sent flying like a scarecrow, nearly cleaved alive by Divine King Jiang.

“Clang!” A large bell descended from the sky, suppressing them, but it was shattered into pieces by a single slap from the Divine King, its interwoven rules of order instantly breaking apart.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Such heavy artifacts, refined for years and imprinted with the Dao imprints of heaven and earth, could not withstand a single blow from Jiang Taixu. How could they possibly resist now?

“Everyone, don’t worry,” shouted a peerless old monstrous expert. “Jiang Taixu has just been resurrected and cannot sustain a prolonged battle. We just need to stall until he is exhausted, then we can surely kill him!”

“Boom!” The crowd converged, surrounding the Divine King. They began inscribing Dao patterns, intending to seal him, while simultaneously unleashing heavy artifacts to stir the Great Dao, hoping to use the power of heaven and earth to suppress him.

“Bang!” Unfortunately, their plans were destined to fail. The Divine King was like a true dragon, unstoppable. He could easily pierce through the void, and with the Battle Saint Art displayed, neither Dao patterns nor heavy artifacts could stop him.

“Clang!” Jiang Taixu seized a purple long spear, and with a fierce shake, he tossed aside an ancient pagoda that was descending.

He stepped forward, holding the opponent’s heavy artifact, and charged. Everyone attacked him, but they could not break through the defense of the ancient Heaven-Devouring Demonic Pot.

The Divine King’s gaze was like lightning. He locked onto his chosen opponent and never let go, traveling through the void until he finally caught up.

Although the others joined forces to stop him from pursuing this great expert, it was already too late; no one could stop him.

“Ah…” That Holy Lord screamed, opening his mouth to spew forth his innate essence qi. A desperate fight from a person of this level was absolutely terrifying, possessing devastating force that any master would have to avoid.

However, the Divine King’s expression remained indifferent, showing no change. The tip of the purple spear flickered, and with a “boom,” it instantly shattered the great expert’s innate essence.

Moreover, the spear in the Divine King’s hand contained the laws of the Heavenly Dao, sealing this great expert in the void as if he were bound to a stake.

“Pfft!” The Divine King shook the purple spear’s tip, piercing through this Holy Lord and lifting him up alive. Then, with a powerful shake, a loud “bang” sounded, and a rain of blood splattered as yet another great figure fell.

The others were horrified. This was a Holy Lord, a supreme powerhouse of the world! Even if such a figure died in battle, it was almost impossible to be impaled and killed in such a manner.

The peerless Divine King’s divine might overshadowed the world, and with the protection of the ancient Heaven-Devouring Demonic Pot, he was almost invincible. Now, no one dared to step forward.

At this point, almost everyone harbored thoughts of retreat, wishing they could immediately escape the Divine City.

“What can we do?” they cried, “The Divine City is sealed, there’s no retreat!”

The nine Holy Lords and two old monstrous experts all felt a chill in their hearts; there was no solution.

Jiang Taixu stood holding his spear, approaching step by step, his killing intent growing even stronger. He did not roar or weep in sorrow; there was only killing intent, to sacrifice these people’s blood as an offering to Fairy Caiyun.

Finally, someone could no longer bear the Divine King’s killing intent and rushed into the distance, abandoning their position. Even if they couldn’t escape the Divine City, they didn’t want to face Jiang Taixu like this; to live for one more moment was better than none.

“Boom!” Heaven and earth vibrated. That person was instantly sent flying back, and all the others were also stopped, completely unable to leave.

“The Divine King’s Pure Land!”

“This is Jiang Taixu’s Phenomenon!”

Everyone’s face turned pale. The peerless Divine King had sealed this place with his Phenomenon, clearly indicating he didn’t want to let anyone escape.

Although it was late at night, this place was now brightly lit. Jiang Taixu displayed his phenomenon—the Divine King’s Pure Land.

This was a beautiful pure land, with gurgling spiritual springs and vast stretches of flowers and plants, simply like a paradise. Yet at this moment, it was filled with endless sorrow.

A rain of flowers scattered across the sky, each petal stained with blood. The Divine King stood in the center of the pure land, holding Fairy Caiyun’s corpse in one hand and a purple battle spear in the other.

“Jiang Taixu, aren’t you afraid of us fighting to the death?” shouted a peerless old monstrous expert.

The Divine King did not reply. With one arm around Fairy Caiyun and the other holding his battle spear, he advanced step by step, a blood-colored rain of flowers encircling him and Fairy Caiyun.

“This… what do we do?” they murmured, “In the Divine King’s Pure Land, Jiang Taixu is an absolute deity!”

“The Divine King is the King of the Eastern Wilderness! He has surpassed his former peak, how can we fight?!”

Everyone in the Divine King’s Pure Land panicked. Now, they couldn’t even escape; in this Divine King’s phenomenon, Jiang Taixu was the absolute ruler.

“Let’s all unleash our phenomena together and shatter the Divine King’s Pure Land!” roared a peerless old monstrous expert.

“Boom!” Various phenomena appeared in profusion, five-colored divine lights soaring into the sky and seven-colored auspicious light radiating in all directions. But all of this was futile; the Divine King’s Pure Land remained unshakably firm.

Moreover, the ancient Heaven-Devouring Demonic Pot, floating within the pure land like an eternal wall of defense, counteracted all the terrifying divine power from the other phenomena.

“Caiyun…” The Divine King’s eyes were filled with sorrow, then he advanced with his battle spear, once again appearing awe-inspiringly divine.

“Dong,” “Clang,” “Zheng”... In the Divine King’s Pure Land, everyone unleashed their full power. Various heavy artifacts interwoven with laws all struck forward in unison, and numerous supreme wondrous arts transformed into dazzling lights, shrouding the Divine King.

However, none of this could change anything. The Divine King’s Pure Land, combined with the ancient Heaven-Devouring Demonic Pot, had become the most unyielding and terrifying divine realm.

“Buzz!” Wherever Jiang Taixu’s divine spear pointed, the void trembled. No one could contend against it; he instantly pierced through a seven-storied pagoda, turning it into powder.

Then, the purple battle spear pierced forward. That Holy Lord, even with boundless magical power and countless Dao techniques, could not block this astonishing strike!

“Pfft!” With one strike, Jiang Taixu pierced him. Holding Fairy Caiyun in one arm and the spear in the other, he lifted him high and shattered him in the void.

“Boom!” The Divine King did not pause in the pure land. While impaling one great expert, he appeared before a peerless old monstrous expert in a single step.

In this pure land where petals drifted down, he truly seemed like an omnipotent god. With one strike descending, the old monstrous expert’s body almost directly crumbled.

The peerless old monstrous expert roared loudly, various divine lights bursting from his glabella and striking towards Jiang Taixu, but unfortunately, none of it helped.

“Bang!” With one strike from the Divine King, all divine weapons turned to dust, and all secret arts became useless, utterly unable to stop him for even a moment.

“Pfft!” The Divine King used the purple long spear as a sharp blade, cleaving downwards. The peerless old monstrous expert was instantly split into two, his ocean-like divine sense pulverized into ashes.

The last peerless old monstrous expert was terrified. When he saw Jiang Taixu lock onto him, he abandoned all pretense and cried out, “Brother Taixu… don’t kill me!”

“Buzz!” Jiang Taixu, holding Fairy Caiyun, took a step and appeared before him. The purple battle spear rested against his forehead, its purple sharpness flickering uncertainly.

“Thud!” The peerless old monstrous expert immediately knelt on the ground, stammering, “Brother Taixu… spare me! Of those from our era, only you and I remain.”
