Chapter 145: Chapter 142: The Three Pure Ones’ Arrival and Arm Movement Chapter 145: Chapter 142: The Three Pure Ones’ Arrival and Arm Movement The evil creature long suppressed under Shushan was on the verge of emergence, bringing together allies of the righteous path to suppress it, yet at this critical moment, the Projections of the Heavens descended.

These Projections of the Heavens still revealed a pair of cold eyes that would chill one to the bone, rendering their body so frigid it felt nearly frozen. Encountering these eyes for the second time, Daoist Equal to Heaven was profoundly shaken, finding it indescribable. Just what were these projections that even Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable needed to wield the Four Swords of Celestial Slaying to eliminate them?

“Hummmm!”

Daoist Equal to Heaven suddenly felt the Sky-Breaking Divine Bow and Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow within him trembling incessantly. Could it be that the Heavens destined them to be linked to this cause and effect in the profound mysteries of fate?

With a roar, the giant constructed from the Law Divine Chain reached out towards the thousands of people at the altar; his grasp captured hundreds, instantly crushing them into a pulp as clouds of blood mist burst between his fingers.

“This is terrible! The formation can no longer seal him, and the entity within this black hole is destroying the foundation of the formation,” exclaimed Green Duckweed Daoist in horror. “Heaven intends to doom Shushan!”

However, Daoist Equal to Heaven’s thoughts were racing. He had never heard of an evil creature emerging in Shushan in his past life. Could it be that the Three Pure had suppressed it secretly? But why had the Three Pure not appeared this time? Now, these thoughts were too late. If the Three Pure couldn’t be relied upon, they had only themselves to depend on. Yet, compared to this projection, everyone present seemed as insignificant as ants. Although the old saying goes that even ants can bite an elephant to death, there were so few of them at the scene that it would probably only take a snap of the fingers for this enemy to eliminate them all.

With a thunderous shout, Daoist Equal to Heaven unleashed the Divine Skills of Imitating Heaven and Earth. The projection looked towards him, but the Magical Treasure within him trembled violently, allowing him to remain unfettered by that gaze.

He quickly drew the Sky-Breaking Divine Bow and Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow, bent the bow, and aimed the arrowhead at those eyes.

A hand reached out from the black hole towards him, each finger wrapped in divine chains symbolizing the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Four Great Continents. These Heavenly Dao Laws were actively restraining the projection, indicating a severe disharmony between it and this world. However, the laws of Heavenly Dao were too fragile to contain it, breaking one by one as the hand continued reaching for Daoist Equal to Heaven.

Lu Dongbin and Enlightenment Dao mobilized their Divine Swords, leading millions of Sword Qi from Shushan to battle the giant, allowing Daoist Equal to Heaven to exert his full strength. Meanwhile, Green Duckweed Daoist gathered his disciples and various Golden Immortals beneath the Patriarch statue, activating the Ancestral Master Talisman, fully unleashing Shushan’s Sword Qi. At this moment, all Dao of Immortals experts became one force, holding back the giant.

Daoist Equal to Heaven’s arm was wound with three Divine Dragons, transformed from the Swallowing Dragon Stele. He drew the bow as if it were a full moon, and just as the giant hand was about to catch him, he released the bowstring!

“Whoosh!”

The power of this single arrow was terrifying. It shattered the void for over a hundred miles in an instant, turning it into a vast expanse of Chaos. The arrowhead was imbued with mystically complex Talismans, which converged at one point, unleashing a fearsome divine radiance. In this instant, even creators would not dare to be tainted by it.

The projection’s enormous hand was struck squarely by the arrow, and the immense force sent the arm flying backwards. The hand was as large as a mountain, and it was blasted by the arrow, which was like a Heavenly Pillar, showering the sky with a rain of blood from the explosion.

“Ahhhh!!!” A scream erupted from the Projections of the Heavens as the hand was penetrated by the Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow. Just as the Divine Arrow was about to enter the black hole, another hand emerged from the projection, forming a spell to create a massive shield.

“Boom!”

The Divine Arrow struck the shield, causing a thunderous explosion so bright that it obscured everything. The shield almost shattered, riddled with cracks all over.

Daoist Equal to Heaven thought to himself, “Indeed, indeed! This Magical Treasure seems to have been crafted specifically to contend with these heathens, harnessing the entire bloodline of the Ancient Hate Heaven Clan. It exhibits such terrifying power against the projection.”

The Ancient Hate Heaven Clan had put all their bloodline’s essence into forging the Sky-Breaking Divine Bow and Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow, aiming to break the Heavenly restrictions above the seas. But they apparently failed and could not employ them before a catastrophe happened, leading to the clan’s annihilation, and the Ruins were left devastated. That disaster was probably the great war of the Middle Ancient Times.

The Sky-Breaking Divine Arrow was blocked by the shield, and it fell back down, to be caught by the hand of Daoist Equal to Heaven.

Having shot one arrow, he was already completely exhausted, without the strength to fire a second one, and could only sit and await his death.

“My fate is sealed!” Daoist Equal to Heaven couldn’t help but cry out loudly.

But the projection seemed to sense something and didn’t come to attack him. Instead, it pinched out a spell, and a giant Heavenly Blade appeared in the black hole, thunderously cleaving down, splitting the entire Sword Mountain in two. The formation inside was shattered in an instant. Green Duckweed Daoist spurted a mouthful of old blood and nearly fainted, the talismans in his hand igniting and exploding, mutilating his flesh.

That arm immediately flew up from the giant’s body, and the giant figure, constructed of Law Divine Chains, also dispersed at once, the arm fleeing toward the black hole.

Just as the arm was about to enter the black hole, a Divine Sword suddenly descended from the skies, with a hiss slashing down. It was the Immortal-slaying Sword!

“Pfft!”

The arm was slashed, spurting a large spray of blood, but it still fled into the black hole in an instant, while the other three swords arrived a step too late, only slicing off a piece of flesh.

“The Four Swords of Celestial Slaying!” Lu Dongbin cried out, as if he had seen a savior; the comer must undoubtedly be Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable.

Three Daoists materialized amidst the clouds, the very Three Pure!

The Three Pure, each holding a Magical Treasure, descended to kill; they seemed like ants before the gigantic black hole, but their Mana was enough to exterminate this projection!

Arriving a moment too late, allowing the arm to escape, was indeed an oversight!” Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch lamented.

“Hmph! This projection hid very deeply. Had we approached, it certainly would not have come out. That we were slightly late is also normal. Let’s kill this projection first!” Leader of Heaven-Penetrating stated with a chilling killing intent. “I will take action; you two without physical bodies just need to suppress this region of heaven and earth!”

Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch and Laozi nodded, then together they raised the Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, setting them in the air, stabilizing the region of heaven and earth.

Leader of Heaven-Penetrating roared angrily, conjuring a sword technique. Seeing the Four Swords of Celestial Slaying, the swords of Shushan began to tremble immediately, and the Sword Qi that was originally coiling around the Seven Stars Sword and Pure Yang Sword now covered the Four Swords of Celestial Slaying.

The projection looked coldly at the Three Pure and finally spoke, saying, “Heaven-Penetrating, Yuan Shi, Laojun, you three have indeed endured for a long time! Although I was at a slight disadvantage, it’s enough to obliterate you all when the fortune collapses and the great calamity of heaven and earth comes!”

But at that moment, a black coffin suddenly flew up from the depths of Shushan’s main peak; the lid of the coffin opened, and a black shadow appeared inside.

The speed was too fast; nobody could see his face clearly, only a blur as he passed by, even Divine Sense struggled to keep up.

The identity of the newcomer remains unknown, please stay tuned for the next installment to find out.
