Chapter 396 - Leave Or Stay (2/2)

”I don't know why they're here, but I know it's to bring harm or even death to me. This is what my instinct is telling me. I trust it, so I won't be naive. Trying to hold a normal discussion is pointless, so I'll be direct: Take the initiative.” Calmly regarding his thoughts, he readied his Heavenly Shrine and Paragon Soul.

All sorts of powers and might circulated through his body, amplified further by Dao Energy.

Swoosh!

Over a dozen skyships penetrated the sky and appeared. They were fully activated with all sorts of formations, arrays, and various structural designs. When they arrived, they didn't take a single action onward. However, countless heavenly and soul senses descended.

He ignored them.

Woosh! Woosh!

Two gigantic worldships arrived. They halted their advance as Yan Zaizen stood before them. It was like an ant facing two sky-piercing mountains. The disparity was unimaginable. Yet these two sky-piercing mountains halted before this ant.

Yan Zaizen smiled. He didn't know who they were but it didn't matter. He calmly stood there without a hint of fear or panic.

He took a step forward, his heavenly might quietly seething. Bellowing with power, ”I don't know who you are or what you want, but I will give you a choice: Leave at this very moment or stay.”

Despite his words not sounding threatening, his calm voice carried his Dao and shook the hearts of all those who heard it. The implication of staying was clear. Yan Zaizen believed in choices. He believed in freewill and taking responsibility for one's own actions.

As long as he made a choice, he would, no, he could never regret it. Even though he saved Ezekiel and lost Pinaka, not one second had passed where he ever regretted this decision. If he was given the opportunity to make this choice again, he would sooner go into that timeline and kill himself before changing it.

Therefore, he gave others choices. Their lives and fates in their hands, something many didn't believe in.

However, despite his words, not a single man, woman, or existence on these skyships retreated. He closed his eyes, the bright amber-gold diminishing a fair amount. He had never looked favorably on killing, but that didn't mean he shied from it.

On one of the skyships, one colored white and green, a middle-aged man stepped on its bow with a calm gaze. He was dressed in jade jewelry with silk robes. His ears were sharp on both ends and he had thin lips. A powerful aura emanated from his body, exceeding the Heavenly Genesis Realm, obviously an elite at the Heavenly Creation Realm.

His voice was effeminate yet gentle, ”I am Jade Crestwater, Vice-Lord of the Crestwater Empire. I-”

Abruptly, Yan Zaizen took action. His eyes opened with a ferocious glint as he changed his posture.

His body was turned sideways, legs spread apart, a bow manifested within his hand from heavenly might. An arrow was created, the laws of destruction and spacetime radiated endlessly from it. It was the condensation of the Imperial Law of Spacetime and World Law of Destruction, harnesser and directed by the Mortal Law of Archery.

He remembered the days of old. Tao manned the skyship, Pinaka taught him, and he practiced relentlessly. Rudra's Archery! Those days weren't filled with twists and turns like today. He was filled with a spirit to explore and see the boundless world, his heart naive and free.

He grasped the string comprised of his soul energy, paragon soul energy! He fully nocked the heavenly bow into a half-moon shape, his hand held the bowstring and arrow in a mongolian draw, his head facing the arrow's point, and his breathing steady. There was wisps of amber-gold Dao Energy flowing through the bow.

His entire cultivation base was manifested in this bow and arrow.

”One Arrow, Annihilate All,” these were the words Pinaka used to describe Rudra'd Archery. It was peerlessly domineering and mighty. He wished that one day he could let loose an arrow with him and Pinaka as one, to see that day.

Coinciding with his breathing, he softly let loose his power.

Release!

Jade Crestwater's calm gaze and expression changed! This arrow, this intent, it was all focused on him!
