Chapter 116: The Destruction of the Yusheng Sect

In the distance, Sect Master Zhou Shidao, who was struggling in combat against Shen Hou, saw Xingyunzi defeated and fleeing.

The expression on his face instantly turned somewhat pale and ashen.

Once Xingyunzi ran away, the last glimmer of hope for the Yusheng Sect was thoroughly shattered as well.

After this battle, the Yusheng Sect would likely vanish from this world.

Sect Master Zhou Shidao thought of his grand ambitions when he had first arrived at this Barren Planet, wishing to vie for promotion to a level-six cultivation nation.

Looking back at the bleak end now, where he was about to die and his Sect destroyed.

An extremely strong sense of unwillingness abruptly surged from within Sect Master Zhou Shidao's heart.

"I cannot just die here like this!"

Sect Master Zhou Shidao thought to himself at this moment, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot in a split second.

"Spirit Explosion Technique!"

Sect Master Zhou Shidao was seen pointing fiercely and somewhat crazily at the green-shelled turtle and the red Three-Headed Fire Bird.

A bizarre magic seal was instantly driven into the bodies of the green-shelled turtle and the Three-Headed Fire Bird.

Combined with the Restriction brands left inside the two Spirit Beasts, strands of violent energy continuously erupted from within their bodies.

The cultivation of these two Spirit Beasts had reached the Soul Formation stage Late Stage Great Perfection realm, and they had long since given birth to spiritual intelligence.

Furthermore, they had followed Sect Master Zhou Shidao for several millennia.

Even before Sect Master Zhou Shidao, they had already stayed in the Yusheng Sect for over ten thousand years, serving as one of the foundations and guarantees that allowed the Yusheng Sect to stand tall without falling for so many years.

Feeling the violent energy inside their bodies, the two Spirit Beasts could not help but flash a hint of sorrow in their eyes.

However, these two Spirit Beasts, whose strength was not much different from Sect Master Zhou Shidao's, did not resist.

Firstly, the enslavement Restriction brands deep within their bodies were too profound, making it utterly impossible to resist.

Secondly, due to their affection for the Yusheng Sect over the past ten thousand years or so, upon realizing that it would be difficult for the Yusheng Sect to escape this calamity today, a determination to die had already sprouted within their hearts.

The violent energy erupted within the two Spirit Beasts in an instant, causing the aura on their bodies to instantly turn ferocious.

"Roar!"

The two Spirit Beasts could not suppress themselves as they let out a series of wild roars toward the skies, then launched fierce attacks against Shen Hou regardless of life or death.

Although Shen Hou's overall strength ranked quite high among the entire Twelve Sword Zodiacs.

In the end, he had failed to Breakthrough to the Inquiry Dao realm, and his cultivation still hovered at the Soul Formation stage Late Stage Great Perfection.

At this moment, being fiercely attacked by two maddened peer-level Spirit Beasts, he was directly suppressed into a disadvantageous position for a time.

Even waves of ferocious energy bombarded Shen Hou's protective Divine Ability, shaking him and causing considerable injuries.

This Spirit Explosion Technique could release the potential within a Spirit Beast's body in an instant.

Furthermore, this kind of release was an irreversible and unstoppable burning release.

After the Spirit Explosion Technique was cast on them, although the Spirit Beasts' strength would greatly increase for a period of time.

However, their lives would also enter a countdown after the Spirit Explosion Technique was cast upon them.

Moreover, at the very last moment when their potential and lives were completely burned away, they would also detonate themselves without hesitation.

Using their own lives to inflict the maximum damage upon the enemy.

The Yusheng Sect was founded on the manipulation of Spirit Beasts. After this Spirit Explosion Technique was created, ancestral teachings were passed down along with it.

That was, unless it was an absolute last resort, one must never casually use this Spirit Explosion Technique on Spirit Beasts.

At this moment, the Yusheng Sect had reached a complete moment of life or death, so Sect Master Zhou Shidao using this Spirit Explosion Technique could not be considered a violation of ancestral teachings.

While the two Spirit Beasts crazily attacked and suppressed Shen Hou.

Sect Master Zhou Shidao immediately said nothing more, turned around, and fled.

At this time, under the attacks of the two frantic Spirit Beasts, Shen Hou simply could not pull away and was unable to come pursue Sect Master Zhou Shidao.

Meanwhile, Chou Niu was surrounding and intercepting Xingyunzi, having no time to care about Sect Master Zhou Shidao's life or death.

Zi Shu was besieged by several Soul Formation stage Elders of the Yusheng Sect, and could not come hunt down Sect Master Zhou Shidao either.

The other Daluo Sword Sect Disciples were even more heavily embroiled in battle with the numerous Cultivators of Jiuyou Palace.

Coupled with the fact that their cultivation was far inferior to Sect Master Zhou Shidao's, they were completely powerless to hunt him down.

Consequently, this unexpectedly allowed Sect Master Zhou Shidao to escape without any pressure.

After escaping, Sect Master Zhou Shidao immediately fled rapidly toward the location of the Jiuyou Palace camp.

During his flight, Sect Master Zhou Shidao cast a backward glance filled with hatred and unwillingness at the battlefield littered with corpses, then sped away toward Jiuyou Palace without looking back.

After Sect Master Zhou Shidao abandoned all the Yusheng Sect Disciples and fled alone.

The Yusheng Sect faction on the battlefield immediately collapsed at an accelerated pace.

The Yusheng Sect Disciples, who had previously been desperately resisting the Daluo Sword Sect Cultivators, now saw that their Sect Master had run away.

Instantly lost the determination to fight to the death for the Sect.

Once this cowardly desire to live and fear of death arose, the various Disciples of the Yusheng Sect died even faster.

Although each and every one of them was looking for opportunities to escape.

Under the fierce attacks and slaughter of the Daluo Sword Sect Cultivators, those who could truly escape were merely a handful.

At this moment, not only had the low-tier Disciples of the Yusheng Sect completely collapsed, but those few Soul Formation stage Elders besieging Zi Shu, upon seeing Sect Master Zhou Shidao run away.

Also instantly changed their expressions and prepared to flee.

In order to escape a step ahead, several Elders even went so far as to attack their fellow Sect members beside them, vainly attempting to injure them so they would run slower.

So as to buy a glimmer of opportunity for their own escape.

However, as a result, before Zi Shu even made a move, these few Elders directly began killing each other.

A flash of amusement and indifference flickered in Zi Shu's eyes.

Then, controlling several treasured swords, he slashed fiercely toward these Yusheng Sect Elders.

After a short while, some of the ordinary Yusheng Sect Disciples who were lucky or possessed formidable strength managed to escape.

As for the few Soul Formation stage Elders of the Yusheng Sect, not a single one remained; all of them died at the hands of their fellow Sect members or Zi Shu.

After resolving all the Elders of the Yusheng Sect, Zi Shu glanced at Shen Hou, who was being beaten scurrying in panic under the desperate attacks of the two frantic Spirit Beasts.

A trace of indifference and murderous intent flashed in Zi Shu's eyes, then, completely ignoring Shen Hou's life or death, he turned his head and slaughtered toward the various low-tier Disciples of the Yusheng Sect.

Under the dimensional reduction blow of Zi Shu's Soul Formation stage Late Stage Great Perfection, the various low-tier Disciples of the Yusheng Sect were instantly massacred into a panic.

After just a moment's effort, they completely collapsed.

Coupled with the numerous Daluo Sword Sect Disciples forming a sword array to continuously surround and intercept these fleeing low-tier Disciples of the Yusheng Sect.

After a period of time, very few of the remaining Yusheng Sect Disciples were able to escape; nearly all of them were completely annihilated by the Daluo Sword Sect Disciples.

At the same time, Xingyunzi, who was fleeing frantically, was completely intercepted by Chou Niu.

"Chou Niu, what on earth do you want!"

At this moment, Xingyunzi had just been fiercely slashed with a sword by Chou Niu, who had chased up to him.

Caught off guard, Xingyunzi was directly cleaved by this sword with quite severe injuries.

Xingyunzi was currently disheveled, with blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth.

Looking at Chou Niu with a trace of fear in his eyes, he spoke somewhat bluffingly.

"Hmph, what for? Naturally, to take your dog life!"

Chou Niu let out a cold huff, then spoke with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Following that, Chou Niu made a beckoning gesture toward the Chou Niu Magic Treasure floating beside him, and shouted sternly in his mouth:

"Ruins Shattering Sword Art!"

As soon as his words fell, strands of black vortexes continuously began to form around the Chou Niu Magic Treasure.

Destructive strands of energy auras faintly emanated from within the black vortexes.

The power of this Ruins Shattering Sword Art was obviously much more formidable than the Torrent Sword Art previously unleashed by Chou Niu.

It could even be considered one of Chou Niu's trump card methods.

Facing this destructive blow, Xingyunzi's expression instantly changed drastically.

Letting out a strange cry from his mouth, Xingyunzi, unwilling to sit still and await death, immediately circulated all his Dharmic power to the maximum.

Xingyunzi's Inquiry Dao Early Stage Dharmic power was fully unleashed, and strands of ribbon-like starlight continuously formed around him, then circled and hovered.

Subsequently, Xingyunzi raised his hand, and one hundred and eight star-Origin Magic Treasures refined from the complete star core of a miniature star were immediately deployed by him.

As soon as the one hundred and eight star-Origin Magic Treasures appeared, they immediately began to hover up and down around Xingyunzi's entire body according to a certain profound trajectory.

Following that, the countless ribbon-like starlight around Xingyunzi instantly twisted and coiled into runes emitting starlight.

Then, like swallows returning to the forest, they rapidly entered within the one hundred and eight star-Origin Magic Treasures.

The one hundred and eight star-Origin Magic Treasures instantly radiated circles upon circles of stellar halos.

Around Xingyunzi's body, countless layers of halo protective shields were formed.

"Stellar Ring Primordial Gang Shield!"

Xingyunzi let out a slightly frantic roar, and the stellar halo protective shields around his body instantly became even more solid.

Just at this moment, the Chou Niu Magic Treasure surrounded by individual black vortexes slashed instantly onto the stellar ring protective shield around Xingyunzi's body.

The instant the Chou Niu Magic Treasure slashed onto the stellar ring protective shield, the black vortexes surrounding the Chou Niu Magic Treasure began to spin frantically.

Waves of destructive auras emanated from the black vortexes, and layers of stellar ring protective shields were continuously twisted and shattered by the black vortexes.

Even those star core treasured beads were continually shattered by the black vortexes.

At this moment, the Chou Niu Magic Treasure actually ripped apart countless circles of stellar ring shields around Xingyunzi with an irresistible momentum at extreme speed.

Then, amidst Xingyunzi's terrified and desperate gaze, the Chou Niu Magic Treasure pierced straight through the center of his chest fiercely.

Endless destructive energy poured entirely into Xingyunzi's body from the Chou Niu Magic Treasure.

If it were an ordinary piercing wound, or even hacking Xingyunzi into pieces.

For Xingyunzi at the Inquiry Dao Early Stage realm, it could only be considered a minor injury.

With a slight circulation of his powerful Primordial Spirit power, such injuries could heal instantly.

However, this injury of being pierced through the chest by the Chou Niu Magic Treasure was fatal to Xingyunzi.

Because upon this Chou Niu Magic Treasure resided Chou Niu's powerful Divine Ability power.

The moment it pierced into Xingyunzi's chest, the endless destructive power directly shredded Xingyunzi's Primordial Spirit.

At this moment, under this blow, Xingyunzi was already utterly destroyed in both body and soul.

Xingyunzi's eyes carried a look of terror and unwillingness as his corpse plummeted straight down from the air.

With an indifferent expression, Chou Niu reached out and beckoned toward Xingyunzi's corpse, and an exquisite Storage Pouch was flipped over and put away.

Following that, Chou Niu withdrew the Chou Niu Magic Treasure into his body, and strode toward the battlefield of low-tier Cultivators in the distance.

By the time Chou Niu arrived at the dilapidated temporary camp of the Yusheng Sect, the battle here was nearing its end.

After Zi Shu freed up his hands, for the low-tier Disciples of the Yusheng Sect, there remained only a despairing massacre.

However, at this moment, Shen Hou's situation was somewhat ominous.

The two Spirit Beasts besieging Shen Hou, after Sect Master Zhou Shidao cast the Spirit Explosion Technique on them, completely threw caution to the wind.

Afterwards, witnessing the near total annihilation of the entire Yusheng Sect without even a chicken or dog left behind.

Further stimulated the madness of these two Spirit Beasts.

At this moment, although the two Spirit Beasts had multiple injuries on their bodies under Shen Hou's counterattack.

One of the green giant turtle's paws had been severed clean off at the roots.

The three heads of the red Three-Headed Fire Bird were now left with only one.

Yet Shen Hou's figure at this moment was even more disheveled.

Under the greatly increased strength and desperate fighting style of the two Spirit Beasts.

Shen Hou was already gravely injured at this moment; his entire figure was scorched black everywhere under the flame burning of the red Three-Headed Fire Bird.

There was even a translucent piercing wound on his abdomen, which was desperately inflicted by the red Three-Headed Fire Bird at the cost of having one of its heads chopped off by Shen Hou.

Moreover, a large chunk of flesh and blood had been torn off Shen Hou's back, and one could even faintly see a blood-blurred spine upon it.

Strands of Primordial Spirit Origin Qi continuously overflowed and dissipated from these two severe wounds.

This was left on Shen Hou's body by the green giant turtle at the cost of having one of its paws chopped off.

On the wounds left by the two Spirit Beasts, the Divine Ability power exerted by both of them lingered, which was simply not something that could heal in a short time.

Furthermore, this Divine Ability power would continuously erode Shen Hou's Primordial Spirit, causing Shen Hou to constantly lose Primordial Spirit Origin Qi amidst the pain.

Fighting to this extent, whether it was the two Spirit Beasts or Shen Hou, they had all reached the point of exhaustion.

However, what differed between them was that those two Spirit Beasts were long destined to die after the Spirit Explosion Technique was cast upon them.

As for Shen Hou, being one of the Twelve Sword Zodiacs, he still had an infinitely bright future ahead.

As for Zi Shu, although he had already wiped out most of the low-tier Cultivators of the Yusheng Sect by now.

Yet Zi Shu, having freed up his hands, had not the slightest intention of stepping forward to help.

Instead, with a sneer lingering at the corner of his mouth, his eyes looked coldly at Shen Hou, who was still in frantic combat.

Just at this moment, the two Spirit Beasts, sensing that their time limit was approaching, looked at each other.

In each other's eyes, both saw a sense of hatred and resoluteness.

"Aargh-roars!"

Only two roars filled with sorrow permeated the skies, and then two destructive auras instantly erupted from the bodies of the two Spirit Beasts.

Following that, the two Spirit Beasts disregarding life and death threw themselves together fiercely toward Shen Hou.

The instant they pounced, the eruptive energy within the bodies of the two Spirit Beasts swelled to the extreme.

In the blink of an eye, the two Spirit Beasts recklessly detonated themselves.

Feeling the two destructive self-detonation energies washing over him.

A look of despair could not help but be revealed on his face, which had turned pale due to injuries.
