Chapter 1505
Monarch of Evernight
At this point, Xu Ran calmed down instead. âMere sinners dare attempt to defy the heavens! Iâll show you what it means to be an immortal.â
He stretched out a finger and summoned an altar out of thin air. On it were seven items: a book, a sword, a bow, a crossbow, a piece of jade, a talisman, and a cauldron.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Ran placed the sword and crossbow in the hands of Jian and Ye. The blade transformed into a giant sword made of yellow jade, a weapon that would project the images of mountains and rivers with each swing.
The crossbow in Yeâs hands was like a serpentine beast of legends, loaded with three bolts.
The emissary pointed at the sky and the cauldron flew up in the air, spewing radiant light that would protect the altar and himself.
He pointed at the ground and the ancient tome expanded below his feet, carrying him and the altar into the air.
Seven small arrows appeared as Xu Ran picked up the bow. The weaponâs name could be seen carved upon the bow: Godfright.
Xu Ran nocked an arrow on the bow and said coldly, âYou will pay the price for angering me. Do you think you can deceive me with that misled divination art of yours?â
He fired an arrow at Empress Li.
The arrow flew at extreme speeds, arriving at its target the moment it left the bow.
Empress Liâs body jolted. She revealed a mournful smile as she glanced at the arrow that had pierced her chest, her eyes bright and clear. âSo thatâs how it is! Iâve finally seen through fate!â
Her body slowly fell limp to the ground as blood sprayed out in all directions.
Xu Ranâs expression was unsightly. âMad! Youâre all mad!â
âEmissary, this...â Ye asked in concern.
âNo matter! This woman is a sinner and should be slaughtered.â Xu Ran nocked a second arrow. He naturally wouldnât say that Empress Li had clouded his judgment with divination, making him believe that she was the center of the conflict, hence depriving him of one arrow.
Of course, the others wouldnât leave Xu Ran be. Countless spider threads stabbed at the cauldronâs light barrier, causing it to flicker unsteadily. The Spider Queenâs attack was capable of shattering mountains, but it couldnât break this screen!
On the other side, a torrential wave of blood energy arrived and a blood moon hung in the air. The Queen of the Night had joined the fray in a pincer attack.
With two supremes attacking, there was simply no room for others to step in.
The blood energy spread all over the cauldronâs radiance. When the moonâs light showered down upon the cauldron, the treasure actually shrank a bit! Two repeats of this process would reduce the cauldron to dust.
Qianye stood watching from a distance. He was rather surprised at this unprecedented treasureâit was able to block the Spider Queenâs attack and Lilithâs pincer assault. It could even sacrifice its own mass to block powerful attacks. There was no way to threaten Xu Ran without destroying this cauldron.
It seemed like the cauldron could take on two more combined attacks. Xu Ran possessed seven such treasures, no wonder he was so arrogant.
The three combatants made it look easy, but they were actually controlling earth-shattering forces in a tiny space. Those below the great dark monarch realm would be pulverized upon approaching.
Xu Ran finally looked serious. He had just noticed that he had underestimated the supremesâ true strength. With a loud roar, he drew on his bow and fired two arrows in succession at the Queen of the Night!
The first arrow struck Lilithâs chest and the second nailed itself in her forehead!
No one knew where this bow had come from, but even the Queen of the Night couldnât evade its shots. Even at this point, Lilith didnât retreatâshe pushed out another moon despite the injury, shrinking the cauldron once again. The treasure was finally on the verge of collapse.
Xu Ran clenched his jaws and grabbed at the air, conjuring a wisp of flaming light. He drew another arrow and ignited it with the flames, then fired at Lilithâs blood core!
This one was a split second slower than the previous ones.
Lilith was dragged a thousand meters away by dark golden blood energy. Qianye appeared in her place, stopping the incoming projectile with the dark intent in his palms.
The arrow shot into the darkness, but the flames didnât extinguish. Instead, the raging flames burned up the darkness Qianye had released. The latter retreated swiftly and watched as the two forces consumed one another.
Xu Ran fired two more arrows at the Spider Queen who withdrew rapidly after taking the hits.
Another arrow appeared in Xu Ranâs hands. He glanced at his surroundings, saying, âWho wants this?â
The surroundings went silent for a moment.
Xu Ranâs arrows were excessively tyrannical, capable of injuring a supreme in two shots and would probably kill them with a third. None of the other great dark monarchs could take the blow.
Xu Ran felt frustrated. If Empress Li hadnât deprived him of one arrow, he wouldnât need to resort to intimidation tactics. He could simply kill the two supremes. With those two gone, the only true enemy left would be Qianye. With all those treasures in hand, there was no need for him to fear a sinner.
A blazing stream appeared in the air, raining fire upon the cauldronâs barrier. The screen wavered under the bombardment and almost looked like it would collapse.
The Wolf Sovereignâs figure appeared in the air, holding the Tempest firmly in his hands as he fired rapidly! The Tempest was known for its unparalleled firepower and was the most suited for battering fortified positions. In the Wolf Sovereignâs hands, the weapon dealt even more damage to the barrier than the Spider Queen.
âCourting death!â Xu Ranâs eyes lit up with the flames of anger, and the next moment, that last arrow had pierced the Wolf Sovereignâs chest!
The Tempest came to a sudden stop as the werewolf slowly turned into the dust.
The Wolf Sovereign glanced down at the gaping hole in his chest and realized that his heart was gone. Understanding his fate, he glanced toward Qianye.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The latter nodded.
The werewolf monarch revealed a satisfied expression, although he looked a bit regretful when he glanced one last time at the Sacred Mountain.
The Wolf Sovereignâs tall frame collapsed beside the Tempest.
Qianye clenched his fist tightly, but his hands relaxed after a moment.
Seeing the cauldronâs light still holding out, Xu Ran heaved a sigh of relief. He was just about to speak when he noticed someone had appeared from the palace below. Before him, mountains would split open and the stars would make way.
While Xu Ran was shocked, that person took a step forward and threw a punch at the light barrier!
A crisp sound echoed through the air as the cauldron shattered into pieces.
âD-Didnât you take the medicine?!â Xu Ran could hardly believe his eyes.
âItâs not so hard to suppress its effects. I only have enough power for one punch, and this is my present to you.â
Zhang Boqianâs origin power receded like the tides.
That did little to diminish Xu Ranâs surprise. He had never heard of anyone in the Immortal Heaven capable of circulating origin power under the same circumstances, let alone attack at full force.
What exactly was going on here?
As someone with a thousand years of cultivation, he eventually recovered from the shock. âJian, kill him!â
Zhang Boqian retreated a hundred meters in a single step. Jianâs figure followed him like a shadow and made ready to slash!
It was at this time that a refined man appeared behind the heavenly monarch. âWhy would you keep forcing our hand?â
This person dragged Zhang Boqian behind him as he faced off against the giant blade.
Jian let out a burst of sinister laughter. âYouâre nothing compared to us!â The words âHeavenly Weapon: Vanquisher of Evilâ appeared on the sword as he swung it down!
