Chapter 845: I Prefer Late Entry (2/2)

This was really a war that hurt both sides. It was no wonder that Wang Lu still proposed reconciliation even after the Nine Regions suffered a huge disaster.

Unfortunately, Xia Yu didn’t plan to stop here, or more accurately, he could not stop here. After paying such a huge price, he could not afford the failure more than Wang Lu.

After coming out of the Palace of Three Purities, the Immortal King was no longer the untouchable king, but Xia Yu who was in the spotlight. His every move was watched, and every flaw in him was seen. After Senior Immortal Xiaoyao betrayed him and pointed out what he had done for longevity… Xia Yu faced great doubts.

If he was at his peak, even if he was opposed by everyone, he could still use violence to intimidate them. However, the current Xia Yu, who was near the end of his life, could not withstand excessive wear and tear. In a sense, he was not much different from this dilapidated Nine Regions.

Therefore, this time, he must win and regain the trust with a magnificent victory, so that his subordinate would continue to be obedient. And the first act of this great victory was the destruction of Spirit Sword Mountain.

Xia Yu had already seen Wang Wu standing on top of the Stellar Peak and seen even more clearly the three thousand golden cores in her body and the sword bone in her hand.

If it was a head-on fight, she was indeed a strong opponent. Her Non-Phase Swordsmanship was extremely exceptional and strange, and unreasonably hard. Even the palm strike of the Immortal King could hardly break it in a short time.

However, the reason why the Immortal King was the Immortal King was that, in addition to his powerful strength, the more important thing was his magical ability. If frontal head-on attack was difficult, Xia Yu still had many alternative methods.

With his left hand, he lit a fire, which was an innate fire that came from the ruins of the Wilderness Age. At the same time, with his right hand, he conjured out a vast expanse of cold wind which was a pure Yin Ice Breath inherited from the Desolate Age.

With the grinding power of these Ice and Fire, Yin and Yang, no matter how strong the sword defense was, it would definitely not be able to withstand. Xia Yu once used this move to break through the gate of the Western Continent Pantheon. He did not believe that Wang Wu could be stronger than the defense of the Pantheon.

However, just as Xia Yu was about to release the power of his left and right hands, he suddenly saw an undisguised crafty smile on Wang Wu’s face.

The next moment, the sky behind him suddenly became brighter, and an extremely familiar force fell from the sky toward him.

Xia Yu didn’t have to look back to know what the energy behind him was.

“Non-Phase Celestial Cannon! How is this possible?”

Even if the Nine Regions still had hidden power, the signs before the launch of the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon were obvious, so Xia Yu could not possibly miss them. What’s more, the attack should come from below not from the top, so how could it descend from the sky?

Unless…

In an instant, countless scenes appeared in Xia Yu’s mind, and then he quickly zeroed out one of them.

It was when Wang Lu went all out using the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon. Although Xia Yu was a bit rushed in his reaction, he still managed to dodge and block the force of the attack at the critical moment and let it blast through the sky and enter the endless void.

At that time, Xia Yu didn’t even think about where the energy of the bombardment would eventually go. Because generally speaking, no matter how powerful it was, once lost in the endless void, it would inevitably be exhausted until nothing was left.

Now when he thought about it, in fact, from that time on, Wang Lu actually had quietly arranged this situation.

The bombardment energy from the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon broke through the sky and entered the endless void. It was a mysterious place where time and space seemed to have no meaning. It was, of course, possible that the bombardment energy would be lost forever. However, it was also possible that, after a period of time, it would suddenly turn its direction in the endless void and come back to Nine Regions again.

Xia Yu couldn’t figure out how to achieve this. But it was probably by using the Sky Tower on the Stellar Peak to tear up the space barrier and guide the bombardment energy back to Nine Regions… This was the only scenario that could logically explain it.

Similarly, on the Spirit Sword Mountain, it was easy to understand Wang Wu’s decisive posture. She was not trying to fight against the Immortal King at all, but to block the energy splash of the bombardment that would fall from the sky. After all, it was directly guided to the Stellar Peak…

It was a pity that when Xia Yu realized it, it was already a bit too late. The power of the bombardment had completely enveloped him. Xia Yu had no choice but to withstand it head-on. The innate fire in his left hand and the ice breath in his right hand died off in an instant. Then it came to his Immortal robe and then the flesh and blood under his robe…

Inside the huge energy torrent, Xia Yu roared, “Wang Lu, what a crafty plot!”

“Hahaha, you’re welcome!”
