Chapter 1778: Chapter 1775: Are You Scared?
As these words were spoken.
The entire battlefield seemed to be instantly shrouded in an invisible frost, plunging the entire scene into a deathly silence.
Everyone appeared as if struck by an immobilization spell, rigid where they stood, expressions frozen into masks of terror and despair.
Pairs of eyes widened with fear and disbelief, and gazes were firmly fixed on the Nine Heavens Destruction Tower in Xuan Lingzi’s hand, which emanated a mysterious and terrifying aura. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
In just a brief moment.
The oppressive atmosphere was completely shattered, and the crowd instantly erupted into chaos.
Confused cries and discussions intertwined like surging waves, wave after wave, pushing the battlefield’s clamor to its peak.
"Nine Heavens Destruction Tower... that’s a divine artifact from ancient times! After the ancient battle, it vanished without a trace into the long river of history." A bearded old man spoke with a voice drenched in trembling reverence and fear, as though recounting a distant and terrifying legend.
"For centuries, countless strong cultivators have traversed mountains and waters, enduring countless dangers to discover its whereabouts, but always to no avail."
"Who would have thought it would appear today at the Cultivator Association and fall into Xuan Lingzi’s hands!" Another middle-aged cultivator said, his face full of shock and emotion, as his hands trembled slightly.
"Perhaps this is destiny! No matter how powerful Xu Wendong is, how can he possibly oppose an ancient divine artifact?" A young female cultivator spoke slowly, as if she already foresaw Xu Wendong’s tragic end.
"It’s over, everything is over; even if Xu Wendong has Heaven-penetrating skills, he is only headed for death against such a treasure."
"The Nine Heavens Destruction Tower should exist only in legend; its rarity is simply unimaginable."
"In the entire cultivation world, those fortunate enough to witness an ancient divine artifact are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns." An elder dressed in luxurious attire remarked, his expression solemn.
"We should leave quickly; the power of such artifacts is not something we can withstand."
"Ancient divine artifacts, one in a million, each containing the power to destroy heaven and earth; the Nine Heavens Destruction Tower is the finest among them. If we were caught in it, we would surely be pulverized."
Several cultivators of weaker strength already began retreating secretly, eyes full of fear and steps hurried, as if pursued by evil ghosts.
"Legend says it once invoked a Nine Heavens Thunder Calamity, destroying a continent, leaving everything barren and lifeless. But who would have thought it truly is in Xuan Lingzi’s hands!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in terror, the voice piercing amidst the clamor of the battlefield.
Xuan Lingzi also heard the discussions of the surrounding cultivators, a grim smile appeared on his face, filled with endless pride and arrogance.
He looked at Xu Wendong with a half-smile, his voice dripping with provocation: "I ask you, are you afraid? Today is your death day!"
"Xu Wendong, you are dead today! Not even the King of Heaven can save you!" Shangguan Hong gazed at Xu Wendong with a frenzied look, resentment flashing in his eyes, wishing to cut him to pieces.
Xu Wendong looked at the Nine Heavens Destruction Tower, clicked his tongue, and couldn’t help but sigh: "Who would have thought the small Cultivator Association would hide so many treasures!"
His voice was calm and unhurried, appearing especially composed amidst the chaotic battlefield.
"You’re right, this item is indeed a divine artifact, extremely rare."
"But so what?" He slightly raised his head, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes: "A mere mortal dreams of unleashing the power of a divine artifact?"
He then smirked sarcastically, as if mocking Xuan Lingzi’s overconfidence: "Don’t entertain delusions, even if you possess a divine artifact in your hand, your strength is insufficient to unleash its true power!"
Xuan Lingzi, hearing this, was immediately embarrassed and furious, veins bulging on his face, he glared fiercely at Xu Wendong and roared: "Even if only unleashing one-tenth of its power is enough to obliterate you!"
His voice echoed like thunder across the battlefield, full of anger and unwillingness.
In the next moment.
Xuan Lingzi launched a fierce attack.
He manipulated the Nine Heavens Destruction Tower, face full of madness and resolve, eyes ablaze with the flames of vengeance.
He kept chanting lowly, driving the purple thunder to pour down like a storm.
Each bolt of thunder carried the infinite Power of Destruction, enveloping Xu Wendong from all directions, vowing to eradicate Xu Wendong from this world.
Seeing this scene, everyone instinctively held their breath.
They felt a mighty heavenly might spread across the world, like an invisible hand clutching everyone’s throat.
Some cultivators with weaker cultivation levels were so terrified they lay trembling on the ground.
Xu Wendong stood majestically, his eyes resolute and fervent, tightly fixed on the purple thunder that roared down to cover everything.
He took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, the golden aura around him surging like a burning golden ocean, ancient runes flickering in it, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.
Facing the terror of the heavenly thunder like the apocalypse, Xu Wendong showed not a hint of retreat.
He suddenly straightened his spine, his arms naturally hanging down, slightly clenched fists, every muscle on his body tensed, emitting an aura of readiness to strike.
A faint golden sheen surfaced on his skin, like the glow of ancient gods; every inch of skin appeared as an indestructible fortress.
The purple thunder wielding the Power of Destruction struck fiercely against Xu Wendong’s physical body.
In an instant, a deafening explosion erupted, a sound that seemed to shatter the entire world.
Intense electricity rampaged across his body, flashing dazzling thunderous light, but he remained unfazed, merely furrowing his brow slightly, as though it was merely a minor nuisance akin to mosquito bites.
His feet rooted firmly on the ground, despite it fracturing under the thunder’s impact, with cracks spreading in all directions, his stance remained like an immovable mountain. ƒrēewebnovel.com
His face showed no fear or pain, instead carrying a faint hint of sarcasm, as if mocking the seemingly powerful heavenly thunder as mere mediocrity.
Xu Wendong took a deep breath, his chest once again swelling high, then let out a thunderous shout, shaking the surrounding air with intense tremors.
His body under the onslaught of heavenly thunder suffered no harm; instead, it exuded an even more formidable aura.
The golden aura grew more intense, as if about to completely devour the terrifying heavenly thunder.
Seeing Xu Wendong standing unharmed, Xuan Lingzi screamed in shock: "Who exactly are you? How can your physical body be so strong?"
