After plundering the four Sacred Dao Marks, the aura emanating from Ling Fan's Golden Core surged by a significant margin, visible to the naked eye.
"You deserve to die!"
Having lost four Quasi-Saint realm elders, the King of Ten Thousand People's eyes were about to split open. His heart burned with the fury of thunder, his killing intent solidifying into a tangible substance.
Boom!
A world-shattering, top-tier Quasi-Saint pressure instantly exploded from his body, surging towards the heavens. Even the Myriad Artifact Tower trembled under his pressure, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Bang!
He took a step forward, and the void instantly shattered. A terrifying power far exceeding that of the four Quasi-Saint elders erupted forth, endless fist light appearing and transforming into a fist strike so potent it changed the very colors of heaven and earth!
Under this heavy blow, everyone felt their own insignificance, as if they were mere ants, while the King of Ten Thousand People was an invincible celestial god. They couldn't even muster the thought of evading.
This was merely a fraction of the residual power from this single punch.
It was simply unimaginable how terrifying the pressure was for Ling Fan, who bore the brunt of it.
This punch was truly too formidable.
"Heh, if I hadn't condensed my Golden Core yet, your punch might have posed some threat to me. But to me now, you are too weak."
Ling Fan shook his head indifferently. A semi-transparent palm, as if made of jade, casually extended. There was no fluctuation of power, not a trace of earthly fire, yet it was like a divine pillar, unshakeable, blocking the King of Ten Thousand People's punch.
Boom!
The two forces collided instantly, igniting boundless roars. The torrent of power spread in all directions without restraint. The Myriad Artifact Tower creaked and groaned, finally collapsing under the unbearable strain.
The King of Ten Thousand People could no longer afford to care about the Myriad Artifact Tower he had painstakingly built. He exerted all his might, unleashing various wondrous applications of Sacred Dao. In a fraction of a second, his Saint Force surged tens of millions of times, attempting to destroy Ling Fan's Golden Core manifestation. However, Ling Fan's hand remained as firm as a rock, unmoving.
A counter-shock force, as if from a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking, surged back, sending the King of Ten Thousand People flying far away.
"Such immense power! How can the Golden Core realm be this strong! Why would an existence like you be with that group of trash from Sky-Rending Island? Who are you, and what is your objective!"
After personally engaging in combat, the King of Ten Thousand People, a top-tier Quasi-Saint, finally witnessed Ling Fan's unfathomable power, which shook his very soul.
"Why so much nonsense."
Ling Fan snorted coldly.
With a downward strike of the Demon Subduing Palm, the already collapsing Myriad Artifact Tower was further damaged beyond recognition. The King of Ten Thousand People, struck by this palm, trembled violently and retreated again. His Quasi-Saint body cracked, and blood seeped from the terrifying wounds.
"Form the array, destroy him!"
The King of Ten Thousand People was shocked and suddenly roared. Instantly, dense numbers of Myriad Artifact Island powerhouses floated up, the auras of powerful spiritual artifacts blooming, shaking heaven and earth.
"I don't believe you can contend against ten thousand even if you're fierce! Myriad Artifact Island may not be the strongest among the thirty-six islands in the Stormy Sea, but we are definitely the most numerous and powerful in terms of spiritual artifacts. This Myriad Soldier Raging Spirit Great Array, even true Manifestation realm experts will temporarily avoid its edge. Using you to sacrifice to the array today is also a kind of honor for you!"
"Kill!"
A world-shattering battle cry erupted. The powerhouses of Myriad Artifact Island knew it was a moment of life and death, and they all fought desperately. Countless Profound Grade spiritual artifacts and low-grade Earth Grade spiritual artifacts flashed with light, driven madly and entering a berserk state.
A terrifying aura that would make even top-tier Quasi-Saints at the ninth stage of Dao Integration tremble instantly coalesced.
Among them, the most powerful force belonged to the King of Ten Thousand People. In his hand appeared a three-pointed, double-edged halberd, rusted and stained with the blood of unknown powerful beings. The weapon bore seventy golden artifact patterns, proving it to be a true Saint Artifact.
However, this Saint Artifact was not complete; a crack ran through the body of the halberd, nearly breaking it into two halves, causing some of the artifact patterns to dim.
Despite this, the halberd still emitted a dangerous aura that could change the color of gods and demons, sharp and unparalleled, as if it would pierce heaven and earth and tear through the void.
In the hands of the King of Ten Thousand People, this top-tier Quasi-Saint, this damaged Saint Artifact unleashed its ultimate power. The halberd's edge shattered heaven and earth, carrying waves of destruction.
With the King of Ten Thousand People and this Saint Halberd as the core, the Myriad Soldier Raging Spirit Great Array of Myriad Artifact Island was finally fully activated. The power of countless Myriad Artifact Island Golden Core and Condensing Core realm cultivators, along with the remaining two Quasi-Saint elders, converged and struck towards Ling Fan.
Ling Fan's Golden Core manifestation flickered, its semi-transparent body instantly transforming into a wisp of pure energy, returning to the Golden Core.
"Invulnerable to all methods, repels gods and demons, break!"
A slow voice emanated from Ling Fan's Golden Core. Endless law power permeated, instantly transforming into a brilliant golden light that shot towards the sky, colliding with the joint attack of all the Myriad Artifact Island powerhouses.
Boom!
The power of this collision, its sound echoing for hundreds of miles, was like endless heavenly thunder striking Myriad Artifact Island. The Sky-Rending Island treasure ship, which had already sailed far away from Myriad Artifact Island above the Stormy Sea, heard this earth-shattering roar.
Chen Yushan instantly broke through the void and flew onto the treasure ship, his gaze extremely solemn as he looked towards the direction of Myriad Artifact Island.
"Father, what is it?"
Chen Xia asked.
"I don't know."
Chen Yushan forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart, countless speculations flashing through his mind, his expression filled with uncertainty. He shook his head.
...
On the other side.
Golden light spread across the sky above Myriad Artifact Island, turning the sky into a brilliant golden hue. Ling Fan's Golden Core, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into a blazing sun of endless light and heat. The power of all laws melted everything, destroying everything. The Myriad Soldier Raging Spirit Great Array was melting, as were the Profound Grade and Earth Grade spiritual artifacts, and even the Quasi-Saint weapons in the hands of the Myriad Artifact Island powerhouses. The artifact patterns and formations within were being destructively damaged, their spiritual essence dissipating.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
One by one, the Myriad Artifact Island powerhouses trembled violently, spitting out blood, falling from the sky like locusts.
Some weaker Condensing Core realm cultivators, unable to withstand the counter-shock force, exploded and died.
The King of Ten Thousand People, bearing the brunt of it, was struck by Ling Fan's Golden Core. His entire body cracked, blood splattering across the sky. The blood-stained halberd in his hand was knocked away by the impact. He himself, like a falling meteorite, plummeted down, smashing heavily into the ruins of the Myriad Artifact Tower.
At that moment.
Myriad Artifact Island was a scene of widespread misery.
Ling Fan's semi-transparent figure flew out from the Golden Core once more and grabbed the halberd.
His gaze was utterly indifferent, like a colossal dragon from the heavens, mercilessly looking down upon the ants who dared to provoke his might.
"Go!"
Ling Fan flicked his finger. His Myriad Law Golden Core instantly let out a sharp whistle, breaking through the void. Endless beams of light erupted, instantly piercing the bodies of countless Myriad Artifact Island powerhouses, forcibly plundering their Nascent Cores, magical powers, Golden Core laws, and even the Sacred Dao Marks of the two Quasi-Saint elders. Even the top-tier Quasi-Saint Mark of the King of Ten Thousand People could not escape.
Ah!
The screams turned into an ocean.
After plundering the magical powers, laws of so many powerhouses, and another two Sacred Dao Marks, the aura of Ling Fan's Golden Core surged again, becoming unimaginably powerful.
"Ah! It's over, it's over! Everything is over!"
From the ruins, a dejected voice rang out. It was Wan Guanning, the young island master of Myriad Artifact Island. He was not yet dead, his hair disheveled, his eyes vacant, clearly having suffered a severe mental blow.
"Father, Father! Wake up! Quickly kill this devil!"
Wan Guanning lunged onto the corpse of the King of Ten Thousand People.
Ling Fan flicked his finger.
Puff!
A golden light instantly pierced Wan Guanning's forehead, carrying a spray of blood from the back of his head.
Wan Guanning's body instantly stiffened, his corpse falling onto the King of Ten Thousand People.
The once glorious Myriad Artifact Island.
Thus, its glory came to an end!
Ling Fan did not leave immediately. Instead, he leaped into his Golden Core and plunged towards the underground.
