Chapter 1341: Absolute Kill

Venerable Xin Nie's pupils contracted sharply. He also sensed the terrifying power of the three-colored divine rainbow and exclaimed in shock, "A Heaven-grade sword technique? And wielded with three top-grade spirit swords!"

His heart pounded wildly. To him, the three-colored divine rainbow was not a dazzling arc, but cold death.

The three-colored divine rainbow seemed to teleport, striking in an instant. Venerable Xin Nie's body was firmly pinned in place, making evasion impossible.

In that moment of life and death, a decisive look flashed in his eyes. He forcefully twisted his legs, flipping them over. Even the Divine Transformation Corpse, which was stuck to him, had its legs twisted around. This positioned the Divine Transformation Corpse in front, using its back to block the three-colored divine rainbow!

*Puchi!* Just at that moment, the three-colored divine rainbow struck. The peerless rainbow light pierced through the back of the Divine Transformation Corpse. Hearing the muffled thud behind him, Venerable Xin Nie felt a lingering fear, yet also relief at his quick reaction, which had bought him a sliver of life at the cost of his legs. Otherwise, he would have been split into three at that moment.

However, he still underestimated the Grand Evolution Sword Array. After cleaving through the Divine Transformation Corpse, the three top-grade spirit swords swept inwards and returned to their sheaths. But the three-colored divine rainbow remained, flickering intensely and erratically.

Venerable Xin Nie turned his head to look, his pupils contracting to pinpricks. An ancient face, bathed in the explosive three-colored light, was contorted in extreme terror. "No..." Venerable Xin Nie cried out, but the three-colored light ultimately exploded.

Countless three-colored light specks shot out in all directions like a torrential downpour. Wherever the specks passed, they punched bloody holes through the Divine Transformation Corpse. Countless specks turned it into a sieve, blood flowing incessantly.

Venerable Xin Nie was so close; how could he possibly dodge? "Ah!" Amidst a horrifying scream, Venerable Xin Nie's body was also riddled with holes, his Divine Transformation blood splashing everywhere. Even his head became a honeycomb!

At this point, the Divine Transformation Corpse could no longer hold on. Its sieve-like body instantly decayed into bone fragments and putrid flesh. Venerable Xin Nie stumbled, not a single inch of his skin remaining intact. His physical body was also completely destroyed.

"You little beast..." Venerable Xin Nie's throat was pierced, and he let out a hoarse roar.

*Plop!* He couldn't hold on either; his body disintegrated on the spot, turning into a bloody mess! Thus, a generation's Venerable of Sinful Karma was slain by the sword!

*Plop!* Jiang Fan also sank weakly to his knees, his face slightly pale. Activating the Grand Evolution Sword Array had consumed all his Nascent Soul power; he had no strength left. To kill Venerable of Sinful Karma, he had used up his Blood Lightning, employed the Illusory Sounds of the Mortal World, and expended a precious Wish Scroll. He had even destroyed the Divine Transformation Corpse! The cost was incredibly heavy.

But eliminating his long-time nemesis, who had pursued him since the continent, made it all worthwhile. "I won." Jiang Fan wearily looked up at the sky, a relieved smile gracing his lips. At this moment, he no longer had to worry about the Void Flow Thunder Energy being discovered.

*Creak!* Just then, an unusual sound reached his ears. Jiang Fan abruptly lowered his gaze, his pupils contracting.

He saw Venerable of Sinful Karma's shattered flesh and bones rapidly moving towards where his skeleton had been! Inside Venerable of Sinful Karma's chest cavity was an emerald-green jade slip. An unimaginably powerful domain emanated from the jade slip. That domain possessed the heaven-defying ability to raise the dead and regenerate flesh from bone!

Venerable of Sinful Karma's flesh and blood rapidly reformed around the jade slip, finally coalescing. In the blink of an eye, Venerable of Sinful Karma, who had been utterly dead, under the influence of the jade slip's domain, actually recovered completely! His skin was flawless, and his aura was restored to its peak! Even the life force he had lost from using the Wish Scroll earlier was restored! Had it not been for the countless holes riddling his robes, Jiang Fan might have doubted whether his Grand Evolution Sword Array had truly killed him.

The resurrected Venerable of Sinful Karma slowly opened his eyes. His ancient eyes were filled with a sinister sneer: "You little beast, you didn't expect I had this trick up my sleeve, did you?"

Jiang Fan's heart sank to rock bottom, and his face was etched with despair. With his Nascent Soul power completely depleted, what could he possibly use to fight Venerable of Sinful Karma, who was now at his peak?

"That domain in the jade slip, is it the Young Emperor's?" Jiang Fan asked weakly. Such a heaven-defying domain could belong to no one else but the Young Emperor, who was afflicted by the Celestial-Human Five Decays.

Venerable of Sinful Karma felt the immense power in his body and walked towards the powerless Jiang Fan with a grim smile. "I've never bowed to anyone in my life. If it weren't for an immense benefit, why would I ever submit to the Young Emperor and willingly serve him? His life-preserving domain is the reason I serve him so devotedly."

Jiang Fan let out a long sigh. "I thought that since you came from Young Emperor Mountain, you would surely have a powerful trump card. I just never imagined it would be something as heaven-defying as resurrection from the dead." Even Jiang Fan felt a sense of unfairness, as if his opponent had cheated. He had exhausted everything, yet his opponent could die and then return to fight again. This was truly too unfair.

Venerable of Sinful Karma smiled. "Don't feel wronged. With a Seven-Aperture Nascent Soul body, you slew a Venerable—if not unprecedented, then certainly peerless in future generations! Even the Young Emperor back then never achieved the feat of slaying a Venerable with a Seven-Aperture body. You are truly remarkable."

Jiang Fan gave a bitter smile. "Thank you for the Venerable's consolation."

Venerable of Sinful Karma stood before Jiang Fan, his peak Venerable might suppressing Jiang Fan, making it impossible for him to move from his seated position. His entire skeletal structure emitted cracking sounds under the immense pressure. Let alone counterattacking, he couldn't even secretly activate the Wish Scroll. At this moment, he had truly reached the end of his rope.

Venerable of Sinful Karma looked down at him, a hint of reluctance in his ancient eyes: "I truly hate to kill you. Compared to my own youth, you are so exceptional that it makes me feel ashamed. I can imagine how brilliant your future would have been. You would certainly break through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, become a Venerable, and eventually step into the Celestial-Human Five Decays realm, vying with the Grand Venerables for the Heavenly Opportunity to enter Sagehood. On the battlefield of the great era's contention, your figure would forever remain, and the annals of the human world would surely include a prominent record of you. I truly wish I had a disciple like you. Unfortunately, you are someone the Young Emperor wishes to kill. I cannot spare you."

He raised his index finger and pointed it at Jiang Fan's glabella. The supreme power caused Jiang Fan's soul to tremble in fear. There was no suspense left. He would be annihilated by this strike.

But Jiang Fan remained calm and said: "Venerable, do it. You have your reasons. I don't blame you."

Venerable of Sinful Karma gazed at Jiang Fan for a long time, remaining silent. After a long while, his voice was slightly hoarse: "I will give you a quick end, and I will not seek revenge on your friends and family."

Jiang Fan closed his eyes and slowly said, "Thank you."

A pang of sorrow flashed in Venerable of Sinful Karma's eyes: "In your next life, be my disciple. Farewell." From his withered finger, a power that extinguished all life emanated, piercing through Jiang Fan's head!
