Chapter 8: Battle Against the Forbidden Zone Prodigy, the Broken Supreme Artifact
Chapter 8: Battle Against the Forbidden Zone Prodigy, the Broken Supreme Artifact
The Jade Pool Sacred Land had just been established, and visitors from the Primordial Ancient Mine arrived.
This situation wasn’t entirely unforeseen, but no one could have predicted that before the Western Sovereign even showed up, her daughter had almost killed the Forbidden Zone Prodigy with a single sword strike.
Anyone with eyes could see that if not for the Supreme Artifact within the Forbidden Zone Prodigy’s body awakening at the last moment to block the overwhelming sword might, he would have had no chance of survival.
The so-called quasi-ascended ones are mere children in the face of alternate ascension.
Quasi-ascended ones are still not fully ascended, while alternate ascension, no matter how unconventional, ultimately means one has ascended.
Even so, when this scene played out before their eyes, it still made people gasp in shock.
Once the sword energy dissipated and the dust settled, Shao Hua stood with her sword, her divine face slightly cold. The long sword resonated like a phoenix’s cry, and with the sword’s resonance, a vast array of Imperial Dao Glyphs appeared in the air.
She was a Sword Cultivator, focused on offensive power. Once her sword was unleashed, nothing could withstand its might, and the land would be shattered!
On the other side, outside the Jade Pool Sacred Land, in the direction of the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Forbidden Zone Prodigy staggered, covered in blood, looking utterly disheveled.
The entire Jade Pool fell silent, everyone holding their breath, watching with intense tension.
If the provocation and conflict were limited to a struggle between the descendants of emperors, it would be manageable. But if the situation escalated into a battle between Supreme Sovereigns, the consequences would be dire.
"Get out!!" Shao Hua said coldly, her gaze deep and penetrating. "You are not welcome here."
"Hehe, I admit I underestimated you, Western Sovereign's Daughter. You are stronger than I imagined, but I stand here now. Do you dare kill me? Can you kill me?!"
The Forbidden Zone Prodigy seemed almost mad, and the Supreme Artifact hidden within the Primordial Chaos Qi no longer floated indifferently. It revealed its true form—a towering spear, radiating a green glow, forged from Verdant Ascendant Gold.
The Verdant Ascendant Pike rose into the sky, its form like a dragon, soaring upwards. Now, this Supreme Artifact was fully awakened.
"Roar!!!!"
A long roar echoed through the universe as a massive Azure Dragon appeared, its scales gleaming, and a pair of green wings sprouting from its sides, resembling both a dragon and a phoenix, surveying the Northern Dipper.
The dragon and phoenix intertwined, their divine bodies radiating light, charging down, causing the galaxy to collapse.
It was clear that this Supreme Artifact was not under the control of the Forbidden Zone Prodigy. The speed at which it awakened to block Shao Hua’s fatal strike was abnormal.
Now that the Supreme Artifact was fully awakened, it was evident that a powerful aura from the Primordial Ancient Mine was connected to it without any concealment.
The answer was obvious: only in the hands of its original master could the artifact unleash its full power.
The Supreme Sovereign had been watching, using his son and the artifact to test the strength of the Jade Pool Sacred Land.
Beneath the Jade Pool, a tower of Immortal Tear Verdant Gold rose, sensing the aura of the Supreme Artifact. The divine being within it also awakened, radiating a towering green light.
"No need to intervene, let me handle it."
Shao Hua stopped the Immortal Tear Verdant Gold Pagoda. The pagoda naturally complied, shrinking in size and hovering above her head, its tear-like strands forming a curtain to protect her.
"I’ve never seen anyone make such a request before. Though you are extremely impolite, I will grant your request. Watch and see if I dare kill you!"
Shao Hua ascended into the sky and swung her sword. With a resounding clang, a clear sword beam shot upwards, the sword energy surging like an ocean.
The brilliant sword light engulfed the heavens and earth, and in the Jade Pool Sacred Land, no one could see clearly.
This sword strike was terrifying. The aftereffects swept through the outer regions, dimming a swath of the galaxy, which silently turned to dust.
The dragon and phoenix roared, their cries shaking the heavens, and a shocking divine light burst forth. If not for the ancient emperors’ protective arrays, the Northern Dipper would have already shattered.
The clanging of metal echoed incessantly as nine celestial swords materialized beside Shao Hua, each glowing brightly like nine radiant suns hanging in the sky, enveloping the Verdant Ascendant Pike below.
"If your master had come personally, perhaps I would have been wary. But a mere weapon dares to act so arrogantly?"
"Just a simple weapon, no need for Mother to intervene. I can handle this myself!"
Shao Hua spoke with the calmest of tones, uttering the most domineering words. She no longer held back, her combat power instantly reaching its peak. With a resounding clang, she drew the Taiyi Amber Gold Sword, infusing her entire essence into it.
This sword strike seemed devoid of any flamboyance, not even a glimmer of divine light. Yet, something terrifying happened. The stars ahead dimmed in vast swathes, and the Dragon-Phoenix trembled violently, its song echoing through the heavens.
In an instant, the earth shook, and people were horrified to realize that this aura was too terrifying, no less intense than when the Western Sovereign ascended to the path of the Great Emperor, akin to a Great Emperor unleashing his full power.
The green Dragon-Phoenix's body shook wildly, covered in cracks. Even in its true form, the connection between the spearhead and the shaft bore a terrible fissure, almost splitting it in two.
The power of this single sword strike was truly terrifying.
"So what if you're a Supreme Sovereign? You're nothing but a cowardly creature, hiding in the shadows. Today, I will destroy your weapon. If you dare to emerge, I will slay you as well!"
Shao Hua stepped on the Verdant Ascendant Pike, and with a crack, the terrible fissure split it apart. The destruction of a Supreme Artifact felt almost surreal.
Bear in mind, this was not just a battle of a divine weapon coming to life, but also a Supreme Sovereign exerting force from the shadows. Yet, even so, Shao Hua remained unmatched.
"You insolent brat, how dare you?!"
In the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Supreme Sovereign behind the scenes could no longer contain his anger. His child captured, his weapon destroyed—anyone in his position would be furious, yearning to emerge and tear apart the one who dared to defy him.
If he could swiftly subdue this Alternate Ascender and absorb the blood essence within her, which rivaled that of a Perfect Saint Body, it would be far more useful than siphoning the life force of countless beings. Killing her alone would be akin to unleashing a Dark Cataclysm.
The problem was, with Shao Hua's current displayed strength, he couldn't kill her without reaching the pinnacle of his power. Even if he risked everything to do so, he might not succeed, let alone with the current Great Emperor standing behind her.
The Western Sovereign Pair was still alive. How could they not come to their daughter's aid?
When the three of them united, any Supreme Sovereign who dared to emerge would be suppressed, with no chance of surprise. Unless he could persuade several Supreme Sovereigns to act together, which was utterly unrealistic.
Faced with the threat from the Supreme Sovereign of the Forbidden Zone, Shao Hua was unperturbed, even a little amused. If you have the guts, come out!
"Mother, come and help me."
She laughed lightly, activating the most powerful technique in the world—the Summoning Allies Art!
A graceful and regal figure tore through the void, the aura of a Great Emperor sweeping across the heavens and the earth, shocking the Supreme Sovereign of the Forbidden Zone, who hurriedly tried to retrieve his weapon and son.
"No chance", Shao Hua's gaze sharpened. These were all her spoils of war. If they were taken back, wouldn't she have wasted her efforts?
She pushed the Movement Secret Art to its limits, her form moving as the star rivers reversed, instantly appearing before the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Radiant sword light descended, unleashing supreme divine might, forcibly intercepting the broken pike and the Forbidden Zone Prodigy, preventing their return.
"You insolent brat, you're courting death!" the Supreme Sovereign roared, ultimately wary of the Western Sovereign behind Shao Hua, daring not to truly strike.
Faced with the threat, Shao Hua merely said calmly, "Then come out."
"Release them, or darkness will fall!"
"Then come out."
"Filthy wretch, I swear to drink your blood and eat your flesh!"
"Then come out."
"..."
May you be healthy and long-lived, love you all!
