CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 275: SEIZING THE EARTH-LEVEL SPIRITUAL ARTIFACT

"Never seen one before, have you? The Alchemist of Daxia, this is an Earth-level Spiritual Artifact that only our Beiqing Alchemists can refine. Its power is sufficient to severely injure a master of the Third Layer of the Reincarnation Realm in an instant. For ordinary people, one attack would be fatal. You were lucky before, your Alchemy Beast blocked it once for you, but this time, you won’t be so fortunate." Zhao Feng was very proud, with the barrel of the Nirvana Cannon in his hand once again aimed at Ye Lingyue.

The Nirvana Cannon, made from Nirvana Iron, was as powerful as Zhao Feng had described, extremely formidable. It was also known as the "Reincarnation Killer," implying that it could instantly kill any Martial Artist below the Third Layer of the Reincarnation Realm.

Of course, its cost was also very high, and those who possessed it were few and far between.

Zhao Feng was ordered to come to Daxia to help Xia Houhong accumulate military exploits on the Xixia Plain. Originally, he planned to use the Nirvana Cannon to kill Spiritual Beasts of the Ninth Grade and above, but unexpectedly, he used it first on Ye Lingyue.

"You are not a man of Beiqing, who are you exactly?" Ye Lingyue knew deeply that no one in Daxia could refine such a powerful Spiritual Artifact.

"I’m not afraid to tell you, I indeed am not from Beiqing. I am here under the orders of a superior, to assist the Little Master." Zhao Feng chuckled mischievously.

The Fourth Prince also sneered behind him.

"Ye Lingyue, since you are going to die anyway, this Prince doesn’t mind making things clearer for you before you go. I am not actually the son of Emperor Xia, my father is a well-known figure in Beiqing. With him around, I will eventually ascend the throne and become the Emperor of Daxia. Ye Lingyue, you wholeheartedly helped Xiahou Qi, but unfortunately, he will eventually become this Prince’s plaything." Xia Houhong was very smug.

Seeing that Ye Lingyue was alone, he figured she was no match for them.

Xia Houhong is not of the imperial bloodline?

Ye Lingyue did not expect Xia Houhong to suddenly reveal his true heritage.

"Zhao Feng, kill her," commanded Xia Houhong with a loud laugh, knowing anyway that Ye Lingyue couldn’t possibly leave here alive.

"Kill, indeed she should be killed." Ye Lingyue also laughed. "Xia Houhong, I really should thank you. You’ve given me a great gift. The Nirvana Cannon, I’ll take it."

Xia Houhong and Zhao Feng were stunned; this woman, she couldn’t be crazy, could she? At this time, she should be begging for mercy, but she even dared to speak so boldly.

Behind Zhao Feng, suddenly there was a rustling noise; something cold passed over his neck. When he realized something was wrong, several flower vines shot out from behind him, lifting his tall, thin body into the air.

Xia Houhong was utterly shocked; a strange flower with a mouth like a sausage appeared, waving its tendrils like tentacles.

Those flower vines, as soon as they touched Zhao Feng’s skin, extended thorn-like tendrils, and in just a few blinks, Zhao Feng’s body had turned into a dried flat human skin, tightly entwined around the Nirvana Cannon by those vines.

Hidden in a dark place was none other than Little Qiu Tian.

The jungle itself was natural, one more person might be noticeable, but one more sunflower was quite ordinary.

Ye Lingyue, upon acknowledging that the two mutants by Xia Houhong’s side had special abilities, had been cautious.

Zhao Feng was only on guard for Ye Lingyue having other allies, but had never imagined that as soon as Ye Lingyue found the cave of the Double-headed Python, she had already released Little Qiu Tian.

After Little Qiu Tian had drained Zhao Feng of his flesh and blood, it obediently handed over the Nirvana Cannon to Ye Lingyue like presenting a treasure.

"What monster, what kind of monster is that!" Xia Houhong, seeing Zhao Feng’s gruesome death, was already scared out of his wits.

"Zhiyo (You are the monster, compared to you, Little Qiu Tian is adored by everyone)" At that moment, Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya sprang out.

When he saw the two small beasts, Xia Houhong suddenly remembered something.

"You... you are Hong Shisan." Xia Houhong never expected that within the Taiyi Secret Realm, the one who had given him so much trouble was Ye Lingyue.

It was not until he thought about the tactics used by both of them, which were almost identical, that Xia Houhong suddenly realized the truth.

"You should say, ’Hong Shisan is me’ instead. Fourth Prince has a good memory, it’s just a pity that having too good of a memory can shorten one’s life. Wondering what it’s like to be blown to bits by the Nirvana Cannon?" Ye Lingyue toyed with the Nirvana Cannon in her hand.

"Don’t kill me, how about we bury the hatchet? The Nirvana Cannon is yours, just spare me, and you will have an endless supply of Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Pills." Xia Houhong pleaded bitterly.

He did not want to die in a place like this.

"I’m not particularly interested in your so-called Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Pills, but the Alchemist who refined this cannon is. Tell me! Who exactly is your real father!" Ye Lingyue suddenly raised her voice.

"I, I don’t know either. My mother only mentioned that he was a very important person and did not tell me who he was." Xia Houhong, desperate to save his life, was almost ready to reveal everything he knew.

"If you won’t tell, I’ll have to..." Ye Lingyue and Xia Houhong paused at the same time.

Both instinctively looked up at the sky.

The weather was changing abruptly; in just a moment, countless clouds gathered above the marshland, and the sky seemed like it was about to collapse, exceptionally oppressive.

This feeling was not unfamiliar to Ye Lingyue.

The last time when Lan Yingwu broke through the Reincarnation Realm, it felt just like this.

And the time before that, when the Ancient Creature, Lady Qiu Tian, experienced the Reincarnation Heavenly Tribulation, the sky also changed dramatically.

"Such strong Power of Heaven and Earth; it’s much stronger than when my adoptive father made his breakthrough," Ye Lingyue looked towards the sky.

The clouds churned and turned into a sea of clouds, as if signaling that another meteorite heavenly tribulation was about to happen.

Could it be that in this marshland, there was also an Ancient Creature?

Just as Ye Lingyue was pondering, she felt that the earth was also starting to move.

"Earth, earthquake." The Fourth Prince panicked, the ground beneath him cracked open inch by inch, and the expanding fissures spread like countless vines.

Thumping sounds—

In an instant, without giving anyone time to react, numerous sharp Earth Blades drilled out from the ground.

The earth was roaring, the terrifying Earth Power, in just an instant, destroyed this marshland spanning ten miles into utter ruin.

"Reincarnation Tribulation, someone is breaking through the Reincarnation... Wait, the fluctuations of the Power of Reincarnation are coming from that Double-headed Python." Jin Wu Old Monster and his people, who were all looking for Ye Lingyue’s whereabouts.

After they spotted the anomaly ahead, they quickly rushed over and witnessed this terrifying scene.

"My lord." Aguduo and others cried out.

Several spirit birds circled the sky, realizing something was wrong, Aguduo swiftly summoned a few spirit birds, and they all boarded the spirit birds.

The spirit birds flew past, and in haste, Aguduo pulled Ye Lingyue up.
