Chapter 512: Annihilation?

As Elder Chai silently recited, the originally calm sect suddenly began to shake.

Many Disciples were alarmed and feared that their sect was about to be destroyed.

At Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang once again comforted Little Gold in his hand, signaling it not to act impulsively, while glancing suspiciously at the distant Jixian Peak.

With the tremors of the earth, Jixian Peak seemed to come alive.

In the next moment, the twin peaks transformed into a gigantic blade, while the lower half took on the appearance of a pair of scissors.

As Elder Chai manipulated it again, the scissors morphed into two golden dragon serpents, shooting toward the colossal hand above.

Many disciples from Jixian Peak looked on in shock.

Although there were numerous rumors in the sect that Jixian Peak was transformed from a magical artifact, this was just hearsay. Even the disciples of Jixian Peak themselves didn’t believe it.

But the sight before them proved that it was no mere rumor; it was indeed true.

Jixian Peak was truly a treasure.

Not just a treasure, but a Top-tier Spiritual Treasure.

Watching the twin scissors turn into dragon serpents and leap upward, Ji Yang’s eyes widened in astonishment.

No wonder the He Dao Sect had such deep roots.

Unfortunately, even this was far from enough.

A Top-tier Spiritual Treasure was still insufficient to confront the Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator above!

The enormous face gazing down was amused upon seeing the spiritual treasure, saying,

“Too bad, it’s just a Top-tier Spiritual Treasure, not yet at the level of a Heavenly Communication Artifact!”

As soon as the words left its mouth, the colossal hand came crashing down, aiming to suppress the cultivators of the He Dao Sect along with the golden dragon scissors!

However, the two mid-stage Great Ascension elders, who had been struggling, suddenly felt a surge of power upon acquiring the golden dragon scissors.

This spiritual treasure had developed spirit intelligence, its strength matching that of a Great Ascension stage cultivator. Together, they could unleash tremendous power.

In an instant, the two golden dragon serpents merged into one, forming a complete golden scissors. When its blades spread open, a massive phantom appeared, clashing with the descending hand.

With the combined strength of the two Great Ascension stage cultivators, the scissors made a loud crack.

After the sound, the crashing hand was split in two, slowly vanishing into the air, leaving only the grim-faced colossal figure behind.

With the pressure from the hand lifted, the cultivators at the Unity with the Dao stage below felt their burdens rapidly disappear. If that colossal hand had fully descended, the entire He Dao Sect might have been obliterated.

However, after blocking that strike, the once brilliant golden dragon scissors lost its luster, its body appearing significantly dimmer.

It seemed that the earlier battle was not as effortless as it had looked.

The two Grand Elders also appeared pale; their faces showed no signs of joy, only weariness and a bitter smile.

Only they knew that while they had seemingly resolved the immediate crisis, this was merely a loss of some magical power for a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator like Ling Xiao.

The next strike would likely be beyond their ability to handle.

Before the two could catch their breath, the enormous face above burst into laughter, saying,

“You managed to block my first palm, but what about the second? What will you use to resist it?”

As soon as these words were spoken, an even larger hand descended from the sky. Its speed was slow, yet it once again enveloped the entire He Dao Sect beneath its palm.

The edges of the palm flickered with life and death, all within a single thought.

The two elders looked grim, yet they continued to wield the golden dragon scissors in their hands, trying to resist.

But this time, the colossal hand seemed even more solid, its pressure far surpassing the last.

Feeling this overwhelming force, the two elders wore bitter expressions.

Ling Xiao had surprisingly reached the mid-stage of Tribulation Crossing; no wonder they struggled to resist him.

They wanted to fight back, but as that enormous hand suddenly descended, they felt their essence of the Way rapidly begin to collapse before they could fully activate their spiritual treasure!

In an instant, the three Grand Elders of the He Dao Sect were defeated.

This scene left the Many Disciples below in stunned silence.

Clearly, the three Grand Elders were no match for Ling Xiao.

A Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator could only be countered by a fellow cultivator at that level.

As they watched the enormous hand about to fall, the entire He Dao Sect fell into silence.

Seeing the despair on the faces of the disciples, Li Daoyi sighed inwardly.

He had said he should not have taken on the role of Sect Master!

He never expected that now, he had led the sect to the brink of annihilation; he felt like a sinner of the sect!

“It’s time to end this!”

The massive face above said lightly, as if everything in its palm was not worth paying attention to.

Cultivators at his level only took fellow cultivators of the same rank seriously.

As for the title of elite sect, it was just a fleeting thought in his eyes.

What puzzled him was that he did not sense any presence of a fellow cultivator at the same level within the He Dao Sect, but that was even better for him; it saved him the effort.

The current elite sect was far from what it used to be, and Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators were indeed as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns; the flaws of the Heavenly Dao made it hard for them to act.

Great Ascension stage cultivators were already the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

As the colossal hand pressed down, the structures of the He Dao Sect began to warp, various cultivators became pinned to the ground and unable to rise. Some newly joined disciples felt a seep of red from their bodies, a sign of their blood about to burst.

“Woof!”

At Jingtan Peak, Little Black felt immense pressure. In recent years, though he had improved somewhat, against such divine powers, he could only barely hold on.

His barking indicated that he was at his limit.

As for Xu Yiheng below, he relied solely on Little Black for protection; otherwise, he would have turned into a puddle of mush by now.

Little Black’s bark roused Ji Yang, who was in deep comprehension. The recent battle seemed to have added to his insights.

When he regained focus, he saw the He Dao Sect on the brink of annihilation.

Ji Yang’s expression tightened as he felt the iron pick in his hand tremble fiercely.

In the next moment, a strong essence of the Way spread out from his body.

As Ji Yang raised the iron pick and swung it upward, a streak of silvery sword energy shot forth.

At the moment the sword energy was released, Little Gold trembled suddenly.

“I’ve had enough of the mining days!”

Sensing Little Gold’s anger, Ji Yang’s expression changed slightly; he realized why this sword energy felt so powerful—it emanated from a worker’s fury.

“Hm?”

At the moment the sword energy was unleashed, a pair of enormous eyes quickly turned toward Jingtan Peak.

Upon seeing Ji Yang’s figure, the large eyes showed a hint of confusion.

He clearly sensed the presence of a fellow cultivator of the same level, yet how could it only be a Void Refinement stage cultivator?

Had he misperceived?

But as a silvery sword energy pierced through the colossal hand, instantaneously shattering it, a trace of anger appeared on the massive face.
