Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Chapter 542: Pyrrhic Victory (Part 2)


In an instant, the mysterious light surged again, transforming into a massive rune prison, enveloping the space around the Chaos Holy Master, severely limiting his ability to dodge.

"Die—"

The Divine Mountain Saint Master roared, his eyes filled with a crimson killing intent.

At that moment, he spared nothing, instantly burning his Essence Blood Power, transforming himself into a truly eternal, earth-supporting Ancient Divine Mountain.

Immediately after.

The colossal body of the Divine Mountain Saint Master, as immense as a billion feet, with palms like boundless galaxies, fiercely struck at the Chaos Holy Master.

The terrifying power forced a part of the void to wail in agony, cutting off all retreats for the Chaos Holy Master.

"You seek death!"

The Chaos Holy Master finally changed his expression.

At that moment, he truly felt a lethal threat.

Especially the slash from Gu Qingfeng, causing even this Master of the Chaos Sacred Land to catch his breath, as if the shadow of death had shrouded his heart.

He frantically wielded the Chaos Immortal Staff, shaking the Taiyi Immortal Seal into mourning, tearing apart the Nine Profound Prison Cage, also shattering the Divine Mountain Saint Master's palms, as terrifying power engulfed, causing his body to fracture continuously, golden Holy Blood raining down like a storm.

But the desperate obstruction by the three top powerhouses ultimately bought him that crucial moment of delay.

It was this moment!

Gu Qingfeng's blade arrived!

The extremely restrained, grayish blade light, seemingly the first glimmer of light at the world's creation, noiselessly yet swiftly, exceeding the concept of time and space, sliced precisely into the Chaos Holy Master's body.

The blade light did not destroy his physical body, but directly severed his foundation in the Great Tao, extinguishing his Divine Soul, which had already reached for immortality.

"No—!!!"

Amidst a tragic, unwilling roar, the Chaos Holy Master's body trembled violently, his immense aura draining away like a floodgate had opened. He could feel his life and dao cultivation being mercilessly annihilated by this blade.

He stared fixedly at Gu Qingfeng, eyes overflowing with endless venom and madness.

"Even if I fall, I'll take you down with me!"

The Chaos Holy Master displayed a grim, determined expression, as if he had made a certain decision.

In the next moment.

He ceased trying to suppress the Blade Intent within and instead poured all his remaining power directly into the Chaos Immortal Staff.

A world-destroying force erupted from the half-step Immortal Artifact, causing the Chaos Void to collapse and disintegrate, as if all Three Thousand Great Taos trembled and wailed intensely.

"Not good, he's going to self-destruct!!"

The Taiyi Saint Master was panic-stricken, and the overwhelming dread made even his breath catch.

Half-step Immortal Artifact!

If such a Supreme Treasure self-destructed.

The resulting power would be far more terrifying than the self-destruction of an average Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerate.

"Retreat quickly!"

The Jiuxuan Heavenly Venerable felt his scalp tingle in fear, desperately fleeing backward, but it was already too late.

The Chaos Immortal Staff erupted with unprecedented brilliant radiance, with countless ancient runes on its staff gleaming to the extreme before exploding massively.

A cataclysmic destructive energy erupted suddenly. It wasn't a simple energy impact but the upheaval of the Chaos Great Tao's origin, the ultimate manifestation of all things returning to the void—

A chaos-destroying vortex rapidly expanded, leaving nothing in its wake.

The first to bear the brunt was the closest Divine Mountain Saint Master.

He only managed to let out a brief angry roar before his majestic divine mountain body dissolved in the endless chaos destruction like snow under the sun, with every trace of the Great Tao and Divine Soul completely erased.

Immediately after.

The terrifying impact slammed heavily into the retreating Taiyi Saint Master and Jiuxuan Heavenly Venerable.

The Taiyi Saint Master, almost immediately, summoned the Immortal Seal, and saw billions of strands of Immortal Light cascade down, shielding his body within.

But in the next breath.

The Immortal Light shattered.

The Taiyi Immortal Seal let out a mournful cry before shattering completely.

This Supreme Treasure of the Taiyi Sacred Land ultimately couldn't withstand the self-destructive force of the half-step Immortal Artifact and was utterly destroyed in this battle.

The Immortal Seal shattered.

The Taiyi Saint Master was hit hard, spewing blood wildly, his body riddled with cracks, with his aura plummeting to the depths, sent flying, shattering countless layers of space.

The Jiuxuan Heavenly Venerable's protective mysterious light shattered like paper, and he let out a scream, with half his body turning to void instantly, the remainder covered in terrifying chaotic cracks, his Divine Soul severely wounded, falling like a broken kite into the depths of the shattered void.

Even Gu Qingfeng, who swiftly fled after landing the decisive strike, was completely engulfed by this power.

At the critical moment.

Gu Qingfeng burned his Essence Blood Power, unleashing a blade even more terrifying than before.

He witnessed the Yellow Springs Path piercing through the heavens, evolving into the Supreme Heavenly Blade that shattered the universe, colliding fiercely with the residual cataclysmic energy.

Boom—

The vast battlefield seemed thoroughly plowed, left desolate, with only shattered Great Tao remnants and chaotic energy storms mourning, recounting the catastrophic calamity that just unfolded.

Long after.

The energies dissipated.

Yet the endless chaotic void remained turbulent, countless spaces reduced to dust and annihilation, and the lingering Dao Rhythm ravaged, turning the area into a Forbidden Area for living beings.

The Chaos Holy Master's aura had completely vanished, along with his half-step Immortal Artifact, into nothingness.

As a price.

The Divine Mountain Saint Master was obliterated, and the Taiyi Saint Master and Jiuxuan Heavenly Venerable were grievously wounded and near death.

Even Gu Qingfeng was left with significant internal injuries.

The other cultivators affected by the explosive force didn't even manage a scream before being reduced to ashes.

It can be said.

The self-destruction of the Chaos Immortal Staff.

Nearly destroyed half the battlefield.

Gu Qingfeng steadied himself, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, using his Longevity Chaos Body to quickly stabilize his turbulent blood energy.

He gazed in the direction of the fallen Divine Mountain Saint Master, now a void, his look calm but with a hint of solemnity.

An ancient Saint Master who dominated the Immortal Domain for endless ages, now had fallen.

Then.

Gu Qingfeng's gaze swept over the distant, ailing Taiyi Saint Master and Jiuxuan Heavenly Venerable, struggling to reform their bodies.

A wave of killing intent rose in his heart.

But the next moment.

He forced this killing intent back down.

Though both were heavily injured, he himself was not unscathed either.

Externally, he seemed in better shape than the Taiyi Saint Master and others, yet only Gu Qingfeng knew the toll such an excessively intense battle took on him.

Especially after pushing the Heavenly Vein True Scripture to the limit, the power of the Nine Great Heavenly Veins further pressured his physical body.

In addition to enduring the impact of the Chaos Immortal Staff's self-destruction, it was a severe ordeal.

Currently.

Gu Qingfeng's overall strength was reduced by at least fifty percent, while the Taiyi Saint Master and Jiuxuan Heavenly Venerable seemed miserable but not without the strength to fight.

If he made a move now, even if he won, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

Moreover.

This battle had attracted numerous factions.

Gu Qingfeng could assert that if he attacked the two now, he would undoubtedly be acting as a pawn for other forces.

In this case.

Making a move was out of the question.

Moreover.

Gu Qingfeng hadn't forgotten.

The purpose of destroying the Chaos Sacred Land was to let forces like the Taiyi Sacred Land draw the attention of other forces, giving the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty a chance to recuperate.

If he took this opportunity to annihilate the Taiyi Sacred Land and others, then the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty would be the one to face direct consequences.

Given the current state of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, doing so would be self-destructive.

So.

In merely an instant, Gu Qingfeng's Divine Thought swept across the battlefield, locating Gu Cang and the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate among others.

"Retreat!"

With a single word, the leaders of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land and the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty appeared momentarily stunned, but soon they understood.

Immediately after.

Before other forces could comprehend the situation, the armies of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty and the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land began retreating from the battlefield.
