The gazes of the two met and immediately broke apart.
"Everyone, let's try one more time. If we can kill this monster, all the better. If it's impossible, then we can't waste any more time here," said Tian Xiong, the Grand Elder of the Tian Yi Sect.
"This is well said."
Gao San Gui, a ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor from the Gao family, quickly seconded the motion.
The sect leader supreme, Lu Jiu Wen of the Qing Xuan Sect, and the young mistress Han from Qi Zhou, along with four other ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors, had no objections.
This was their only recourse.
Boom!
The six ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors unleashed their most powerful techniques.
Especially the young mistress Han from Qi Zhou.
She knew they couldn't delay any longer. With a wave of her hand, a staggering sixty-four top-grade Emperor Weapons, each radiating a formidable aura, manifested. Blades, axes, and everything in between were present.
Each one was incredibly sharp, imbued with the laws of the Emperor Dao.
Clearly, they were all superior creations, and this was a complete set of Emperor Weapons, far more powerful than sixty-four individual ones.
Ancient talismans were also imprinted upon them, likely prepared by Qi Zhou specifically to counter this Myriad Manifestation Dragon Curse.
The others couldn't help but cast sideways glances.
They were all inwardly astonished.
The world knew Qi Zhou specialized in forging weapons and was incredibly wealthy, but they hadn't expected their foundations to be so deep.
To unleash sixty-four Emperor Weapons at once, and each one of them not being ordinary!
Who could withstand this!
From now on, they had to be careful when encountering people from Qi Zhou.
It was best not to provoke these individuals.
What if they were displeased and pulled out a set of ultimate killing weapons? That would be truly unfortunate.
Boom boom boom!
The attacks of the five ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors rained down like a storm upon the incredibly ugly and ferocious colossal figure.
Even though this entity had devoured countless powerful beings, top-tier Emperor Weapons, and even fragments of Dao Weapons, making its physical body unbelievably resilient, it still trembled violently under the onslaught of the five Heavenly Emperors. It let out numerous shrieks, and copious amounts of foul blood and pus erupted from its body. Especially when the sixty-four complete top-grade Emperor Weapons of the young mistress Han from Qi Zhou struck, the monster's body began to shrink, spewing out various kinds of foul gases as if it were a punctured balloon.
Ling Fan and Yan Xi did not make a move.
They stood far behind Tian Xiong, the Grand Elder of the Tian Yi Sect, and the ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor from the Gao family.
Ling Fan's expression was slightly grave.
The strength of a ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor was still too formidable.
He was currently disguised as someone from the Tian Yi Sect, essentially playing with fire. Once his identity was exposed, not only would the ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor of the Tian Yi Sect not spare him, but the ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor of the Gao family would also seek to eliminate him.
Yan Xi also showed a hint of worry, turning to glance at him.
However, Ling Fan did not retreat.
He was determined to obtain the fragments of the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal Dao Weapon here.
Soon.
The monster manifested by the Myriad Manifestation Dragon Curse was suppressed by the six ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors to the point of mere survival. After a large portion of its flesh-like mass dissolved, a dark, gaping hole was revealed beneath.
Amidst the torrent of pus, oil, and blood, large fragments were scattered, still bearing the marks of being shattered.
Having endured that strike.
The Dao marks on them were almost completely erased.
But even so, these Dao Weapon fragments were still incredibly precious treasures. For any of these ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors to comprehend even one piece would bring immeasurable benefits.
"Attack!"
Tian Xiong, the Grand Elder of the Tian Yi Sect, was already prepared.
Upon seeing the Dao Weapon fragments appear.
He immediately abandoned the monster formed by the Myriad Manifestation Dragon Curse and charged towards the Dao Weapon fragments below with another ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor from the Tian Yi Sect.
On the other side, Gao San Gui, the ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor of the Gao family, was not much slower. He unceremoniously ordered Sect Leader Lu Jiu Wen, "What are you standing around for? Let's go grab them!"
"Ah!"
Lu Jiu Wen seemed to finally react.
The two of them also charged down.
"Hmph!"
The young mistress Han from Qi Zhou, whose beauty was no less than Yan Xi's, let out a cold snort. Taking advantage of the moment when her set of top-grade Emperor Weapons suppressed the curse, she and another ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor from Qi Zhou also made their move to seize the fragments.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The flesh around the pit writhed, and countless dripping tentacles suddenly extended, coiling towards them.
The six ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors, while fending off these tentacles, approached the Dao Weapon fragments.
"Should we make a move?" Yan Xi asked Ling Fan, seeking his opinion.
Ling Fan chuckled and said, "These Dao Weapon fragments aren't easy to get. Let's not rush. That woman from Qi Zhou helped me out greatly by suppressing the curse. If I don't seize this opportunity to take her in, wouldn't that be a waste of her good intentions?"
"What! You're not going for the Dao Weapons, you're going to collect that cursed thing!" Yan Xi blinked her large eyes.
"Heh heh, a Myriad Manifestation Dragon Curse that has grown to this level is rare. It can help me perfect the Dao of curses within my heaven and earth. Moreover, this formed Myriad Manifestation Dragon Curse is simply essential for ambushes and sneak attacks. Used well, it can even deal with ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors, and even threaten experts at the Emperor Venerable level."
Ling Fan smiled faintly.
He did not charge towards the Dao Weapon fragments.
Instead, he moved towards the suppressed Myriad Manifestation Dragon Curse.
The few ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors naturally noticed Ling Fan's actions.
But they had no time to pay attention to Ling Fan.
Seizing this opportunity, Ling Fan quietly summoned the Samsara Divine Cauldron. A burst of light erupted, and along with the sixty-four top-grade Emperor Weapons and the Myriad Manifestation Dragon Curse, everything was taken into Ling Fan's possession.
"Heh heh, my 'Body Manifests as Myriad Weapons' technique is hundreds of times more profound than the artifact manipulation methods of Qi Zhou. And that woman isn't here, giving me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Ling Fan was in high spirits.
It was at this moment.
The young mistress Han from Qi Zhou suddenly turned and looked over, as she had just discovered that her connection with the set of Emperor Weapons had been severed!
Ling Fan gave her a brilliant smile.
She immediately furrowed her brows, and killing intent arose spontaneously.
However, her most pressing concern now was to contend for the Dao Weapon fragments. She had no time to deal with this fellow, so she could only suppress her killing intent and continue to advance with difficulty, vying for the Dao Weapon fragments.
Soon.
The six ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors finally reached the bottom with great difficulty. They attacked each other while reaching out to grab the Dao Weapon fragments.
Bang bang bang!
A heaven-shattering battle erupted below.
Qi Zhou was one faction.
The Tian Yi Sect was another.
The Qing Xuan Sect was yet another.
Each faction wanted to claim all the Dao Weapon fragments for themselves.
"How... how did you do it!"
Yan Xi was so shocked she could barely speak.
Ling Fan smiled and did not explain, saying, "I'll tell you later. For now... we need to collect these Dao Weapon fragments!"
With that, Ling Fan also plunged down.
"Elder, I'm here to help you!"
Ling Fan charged towards the Grand Elder of the Tian Yi Sect.
"Good! Dao Yi, you've come at the right time. I'll hold them off, and you take this opportunity to collect Dao Weapon fragments. Collect as much as you can."
"Yes!"
In the time it took for a tenth of a finger snap.
Ling Fan smoothly arrived behind Grand Elder Tian Xiong.
He made a gesture as if to collect the nearest Dao Weapon fragment, which was the size of a house.
But the next moment.
Ling Fan suddenly revealed his true intentions.
Boom!
A terrifying dark light flashed from Ling Fan's hand, and he forcefully injected a large amount of the Myriad Manifestation Dragon Curse into the backs of Grand Elder Tian Xiong and another ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor of the Tian Yi Sect.
"You! You traitor, you're insane!"
Grand Elder Tian Xiong of the Tian Yi Sect and the other ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor let out roars of extreme shock and anger.
When they realized what had invaded their bodies.
Their souls were almost scared out of them!
