Chapter 2131: 890, sword light slashes across a million miles!_2
No sooner had their forms emerged from the water than they were bound by countless divine light chains.
From within the lake, one after another, remnant souls of the divine beasts stepped out.
Behind these souls, there was a golden long spear.
The God-slaying Spear.
From the God-slaying Spear, countless Beast Divine Souls regained their memories and then charged towards those divine beasts.
“We perished in defense of the Primordial World—”
“Yet today, you seek to betray the Primordial!”
“Traitors—”
“Traitors—”
“Traitors—”
The vast shouts echoed between heaven and earth in the primordial world.
The whole of the Primordial was a surging expanse of azure Rolling Clouds.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if a mournful ballad arose.
Countless azure clouds fell upon those souls, as if to comfort their bodies, to reshape their broken forms.
“Do not grieve, for we are beings of the Primordial, without which where would we be?”
“We are meant to fade away. As long as the Primordial endures, we will ultimately be reborn.”
The scattered souls burst forth from the bottom of Tamuhu Lake, shattering the fleeing bodies of the divine beasts.
These souls too dissolved into the Origin, vanishing into the Primordial world.
An uncountable return of Origin nourished the world, causing the already turbulent Origin within heaven and earth to surge.
Each of these souls was once among the most top-tier divine beasts in the Primordial, including Overlords and Master of Lineages.
A pillar of azure light rose from Tamuhu Lake and spread throughout the world.
One by one, the divine beasts that fled from the lake were imprisoned and shattered.
“Escape—”
The divine beast powerhouses that had previously encircled Han Muye, those Overlords, no longer dared to linger.
At this moment, holding a three-foot-long sword, Han Muye’s figure moved, blocking a Divine Beast Overlord.
The Nine-Headed Serpent, the Nine Infants.
“Hiss hiss—”
Nine heads lunged forth, tearing towards Han Muye.
Each of Nine Infants’ heads represented one type of Origin Force—wind, thunder, water, fire, earth, stone, wood, wind—all intertwined, summoning cyclones and pillars of light that bombarded downwards.
As the Origins intertwined, the space around Han Muye was imprisoned.
Yet rather than being even slightly pleased, the Nine Infants turned around and fled.
It knew very well that Han Muye, bestowed with two, perhaps even more, levels of Origin Overlord power, was not someone it could confront.
Trapped by the Origin Force, Han Muye’s sword sparkled with a cold, sharp light.
With a flash of the sword, the heaven and earth before him were split asunder.
At this moment, his power of the Sword Path surpassed that of the primordial world itself; even the world could not bind him!
“Buzz—”
The nine strands of Origin Force exhaled by the Nine Infants crumbled under a stroke of the sword. The sword turned into a streak of cold light, pursuing the figure of the Nine Infants.
Before the sword light even reached it, the scales of the Nine Infants exploded, and its body seemed to turn to mush.
All nine heads revealed terror; the Nine Infants neighed longly, four of its heads exploded, and the surging Origin Power transformed into a column of light to block in front of the sword’s path.
“Sizzle—”
The column of light only withstood the sword light for an instant before being torn asunder by the sword edge.
The slightly weakened sword light continued forward, slicing the body of the Nine Infants in two.
The Nine Infants trembled, half its body turning into Bloodstone, the other half struggling to flee.
Alas, this half of the body also collapsed after scarcely escaping ten thousand zhang.
Pieces of Bloodstone fell, and all between heaven and earth was filled with pervasive blood mist.
As the divine souls shattered, shrill cries and wails permeated.
“Alas, had it been more resolute and abandoned all nine heads, retaining only its wounded body, it might have escaped with its life.”
“Indeed, to think a Master of a Lineage would still try to keep four of its heads. How arrogant.”
Several nearby Divine Beast Overlords sighed lightly, retreating further back.
Nobody wanted to face a powerhouse like Han Muye head-on.
While Overlords from all sides chaotically fled, the Kunpeng and other strong beasts, although they surrounded them, were unable to stop them.
When there is not much difference in strength, it’s genuinely impossible to detain an Overlord.
With such formidable power, Han Muye had become unmatched in the Primordial World.
“They want to escape the Primordial!” Above the sky, the Golden Phoenix shouted loudly.
Other Divine Beast Overlords and various powerful divine beast tribes gathered, their auras coalescing and becoming more profound.
As divine beast powerhouses depart, the Origin of the Primordial will drain away.
If too much Origin is lost, it means the power of the Primordial will decline.
Even though the power of the Primordial is continuously increasing at present, it still cannot offset such rapid and massive losses.
Han Muye’s gaze rested on Wooden Pagoda Lake below.
He slowly raised the three-foot-long sword in his hand.
“Boom——”
Sword light horizontally slashed for a million miles!
The entire Wooden Pagoda Lake split in two, revealing countless chilling white bones at the lakebed.
Endless vibrations of souls, countless divine beast remnant souls that lay silent for thousands of years at the lakebed, along with numerous Bloodstones and Great Pantheon Stones, shot out.
Those many illusions shattered, revealing the divine beasts and the human army that had stepped into them.
If the Great Pantheon Stones and Bloodstones are hard to find in Wooden Pagoda Lake, then turn this Heavenly Source Sacred Assembly into a direct seizure of Great Pantheon Stones and Bloodstones.
The Great Pantheon Stones and Bloodstones scattered across the sky, along with those countless drifting Origins and souls, left all beings dumbfounded.
In past Heavenly Source Sacred Assemblies, acquiring even one ten-thousandth of these Great Pantheon Stones and Bloodstones was already a great harvest.
At this moment, everyone looking at the Stones and Bloodstones in the sky had eyes shining bright with greed.
Even if those drifting Origins and souls posed great danger, for the sake of these Bloodstones and Great Pantheon Stones, they were willing to perish and have their paths destroyed!
Although the primordial divine beasts possessed enough intelligence, they couldn’t control the desires stemming from deep within their hearts when faced with the temptation of bloodline and power.
Regardless of those tribes that had agreed to ally with the human race, or the divine beast tribes planning to defect from the Primordial Universe, they all began lunging towards those Great Pantheon Stones and Bloodstones.
Those Divine Beast Overlords who had initially fled slowed down to a stop.
Behind Han Muye, nine Lineage Origin Bodies appeared.
Just one seized Lineage Origin Body could make one a Master of a Lineage.
To seize or not to seize?
The eyes of those at the Overlord Level had already turned bloodshot.
To become a Master of a Lineage meant becoming one of the mightiest Overlords in the Primordial Universe, whom even the primordial world could hardly suppress.
Who could resist such a temptation?
Even Overlords couldn’t miss such an opportunity.
Isn’t the pursuit of cultivation in this world for such chances?
Give up today, and one may never find it again in this lifetime!
“Go!”
A voice of reluctance echoed as three Overlords turned to leave.
But more Overlord powerhouses charged towards the nine unclaimed Lineage Origin Bodies.
Even the Kunpeng standing not far from Han Muye’s side flashed a look of desire.
Han Muye remained unmoved, watching the frenzied Divine Beast Overlords rush towards those Origin Bodies.
He looked up towards the distant sky.
He finally understood that all this was orchestrated by the Primordial Universe.
The moment he fell into the Ruins Realm, the wheel of fate began to turn.
The rise of the human race, the return of the Divine Beast Overlords.
Even the return of the Beast Divine Souls in the God-slaying Spear might be a scheme of the Primordial Universe.
“You’re using me as a pawn?”
“But you didn’t expect that I would refine an incarnation from the Great Pantheon Plane, did you?”
A hint of a smile appeared on Han Muye’s face.
Though he was being used by the Primordial Universe, he still gained tremendously.
Whether it was the plethora of spiritual materials and treasures from the Primordial Universe or those Great Pantheon Stones and Bloodstones, they were assets that could not be found in any other universe.
These treasures could create tens of thousands of Universe-level, or even Overlord-level powerhouses.
And the greatest gain of all was refining an incarnation from a Great Pantheon Plane giant.
The Pantheon itself could not suppress, only via countless divine beast sacrifices was it able to seal the city’s giant body from the Great Pantheon Plane.
“Boom——”
Those nearly a hundred Divine Beast Overlords outside the Primordial Universe were now clashing into each other, causing tremors throughout the primordial world.
Divine beasts below Overlord Level could hardly keep their footing and could only flee quickly.
The military formations gathered by the human race barely maintained their footing, capturing those fleeing divine beasts.
In the distance, Gonggong with the strength of a Master of a Lineage, and Zhu Rong, who had previously concealed his strength, quietly arrived, suppressing those Divine Beast Overlords who had failed in their strife.
Han Muye did not make a move.
He simply watched those nine Lineage Overlord Bodies being seized and then refined by those Divine Beast Overlords.
“Boom——”
“Boom——”
Colossal columns of light rose into the sky.
This signaled the emergence of an Origin Overlord.
Above the firmament, whirlpools began to appear.
“Hum——”
Myriads of Flowing Light rushed out from those whirlpools.
The human race.
People from the Divine Source Heavenly Palace!
