Chapter 402: The Sense of Imminent Death
The nonchalant utterance of Lu Heng straightforwardly punctured all the pride and confidence that resided within the heart of Mo Xingzi.
She looked at Lu Heng in disbelief, finding it nearly impossible to believe the words she had just heard.
--In this mortal realm, someone dares to disregard the Arctic Skyark Palace?
You see, even the wealthy and influential Human Emperor Palace turns a blind eye to the Arctic Skyark Palace, never daring to provoke the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace.
But now, a mysterious figure like the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain dares to provoke Skyark Palace? Without even considering the reputation of the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace?
Mo Xingzi, filled with vexation, shame, and fury, once again let out a resounding roar.
"The Wolf God Lu! You must think clearly! Listen carefully! This is no joke! Even if you are a righteous cultivator, you should understand that there are certain individuals whom you should not casually provoke!"
"Though Hanyu Mountain lies to the south, and the Arctic Skyark Palace is distant, if the Lord of the Palace were to truly display anger, no one in this world could stop them! Even if you could, can your disciples and followers withstand the challenge?"
"If the Lord were to march southward, Hanyu Mountain would be engulfed in devastation and suffer great losses! Your disciples and followers will also pay the price for your arrogance today!"
Mo Xingzi erupted in a frenzy of furious exclamations.
The majesty of the Arctic Skyark Palace was disregarded, provoking her to lose her composure.
Lu Heng, on the other hand, looked at her disappointedly and shook his head, saying, "Although you appear to be a rugged and hearty man with a beard, deep down you are a troublesome and vexing woman… It's a pity to see such a bold exterior go to waste."
"Little girl, although the Arctic Skyark Palace towers over the northern realm, and the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace commands respect across the seas, yet here before me, it is not the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace that stands, but a few of you."
"If it were the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace who spoke these threatening words to me, I would indeed take them seriously. But who are you, young lady? Merely a demonic cultivator under the command of the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, what virtues and abilities do you possess to represent the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace?"
With a indifferent tone, Lu Heng commanded the ancient sword formation to ruthlessly slay the demons within the formation, unaffected by the furious roars and cries of these malevolent creatures.
The ancient sword formation that could trap even Lian Cangqing is more than capable of dealing with these five demons.
During the brief time of conversation between the two parties, the five demons found themselves cornered, suffering more and more wounds, with diminishing space to maneuver and evade.
The sense of impending death emerged in the hearts of all the demons.
And this, too, was the primary reason for Mo Xingzi's loss of composure.
Due to her near-death experience within the sword formation, she clearly understood that the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain was serious; His words of intending to kill were not empty threats.
However, such unwavering intent to kill made it impossible for Mo Xingzi to accept.
You should know, she comes from Skyark Palace! Her palace lord is Nine Phoenix, after all!
Who dares not show respect to the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace? Which righteous cultivator would truly dare to provoke the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace? The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain, dares to defy all conventions and engage in a battle with Skyark Palace?
Mo Xingzi closed her eyes in despair and murmured, "Palace Lord, Ah Zi can no longer accompany you by your side…"
Amidst the sword formation, there was an atmosphere of chilling sword energy, as four battle swords crisscrossed and danced, continuously compressing the demonic beings' living space. However, Mo Xingzi, with the highest cultivation level, was the first to give up resistance.
When the icy ancient war sword swept towards her, she closed her eyes and opened her hands, surrendering to its might.
This scene left the already preoccupied four demonic beings utterly astonished.
Ning Po anxiously shouted, "Envoy! Do not abandon hope!"
However, as the icy war sword swept across, Mo Xingzi disregarded all external sounds.
But just as this battle sword was about to cleave Mo Xingzi's head, a woman with a scruffy beard heard a soft sigh by her ear.
"Little fool, who taught you to offer your neck for slaughter…"
As the voice fell, a dazzling red light suddenly burst forth from within Mo Xingzi's body. The ferocious aura of demonic malevolence, along with an indescribable and fierce demonic might, surged magnificently within the extradimensional space.
Faintly, a terrifying figure, towering thousands of feet high, emerged behind Mo Xingzi.
At the moment when the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, who casts his dominance over the Northern Territory and causes ripples throughout the four seas, opened his eyes, the sword energy of the entire ancient sword formation instantly solidified.
Simultaneously frozen in time was also this entire expanse of space.
Gazing directly at Lu Heng within the extradimensional space, the ancient ferocious deity, Nine Phoenix, calmly spoke, "I am seeking a way for my envoy to survive. I kindly request the Wolf God Lu's assistance."
While mentioning only Mo Xingzi, Nine Phoenix conveniently left out the other four devils, which immediately prompted the Red-blue Twin Devils to exclaim in agitation.
"Palace Lord! We are also your esteemed generals under your command!"
"Yes, Palace Lord! We all willingly submit to your command, willing to be the dogs beneath your feet… You cannot abandon us!"
The Red-blue Twin Devils cried out in desperation, while Xie Yunniang, on the other hand, had already closed her eyes in despair, relinquishing hope just like Ning Po.
On the other hand, as Lu Heng laid his gaze upon this colossal illusion, his heart trembled, sensing an incomparable wave of terrifying pressure.
This Nine Phoenix of the Arctic Skyark Palace… is even more terrifying than imagined!
Even though it was only an illusory presence, it still sent Lu Heng's intuition into a frenzy, sounding a desperate alarm within him. The threat of death, for the first time, emerged in Lu Heng's mind.
Without the Heavenly Thunder Sword, Lu Heng experienced a sudden realization - once conflict erupted, even if he were to invoke the Requiem Seal, Lu Heng himself would perish right here!
This Nine Phoenix of the Arctic Skyark Palace is a more terrifying entity than the resurrected Lian Cangqing, no wonder even the Human Emperor Palace disregarded their actions and whereabouts in the northern realm.
Among the individuals Lu Heng has encountered, perhaps only the Candle Dragon, who had never revealed divine power in front of Lu Heng, and the once formidable Lian Cangqing, at the peak of her life, could rival this Nine Phoenix.
With the Heavenly Thunder Sword by his side, Lu Heng, perhaps, could attempt a strike as well…
However, the current Lu Heng is definitely not a match for the Nine Phoenix. The incomplete Heaven's Divination Nine Swords diagram is like a mere toy in front of the opponent!
In the void, Lu Heng smiled faintly and said, "The Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, you truly dote on your subordinates, coming all this way through projection for the sake of a maid… Haha… Since the palace lord has personally arrived, I cannot refuse this favor."
"Take this miss with you, Lord of the Palace."
The circumstances prevailed over the individual, and Lu Heng promptly renounced his inclination to slay Mo Xingzi.
However, this Arctic Skyark Palace is so terrifying, it must be treated with caution. The deadline of ten years is approaching, perhaps it is possible to arrange a meeting with Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie to explore the situation in the northern region…
Lu Heng gracefully spared Mo Xingzi, intending to bring this matter to a tidy conclusion.
Just at this moment, from within his sleeve, a sudden flight of a green bronze cauldron emerged. The intimidating threat of potential death that Lu Heng felt was not only sensed by Lu Heng himself, but also by the Green State Cauldron, which had already autonomously protected its master once before.
In an instant, as the Green State Cauldron, which was about the size of a palm, flew out, it rapidly expanded and transformed into a massive bronze cauldron, hovering above Lu Heng's head. It emanated countless streams of vital life force, enveloping and protecting Lu Heng within its confines.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace's towering apparition immediately lost composure.
"Cauldron of World Annihilation?!"
"Lu Heng! You are actually the master of the Cauldron of World Annihilation!"
