Chapter 1327: The Fall Of The Ancestral Saint (1)
Dao Zenithel Ming Jian? Ancestral Saint Eastmoon's pupils constricted as he spotted the white-robed figure hovering in the void.
Even as a faction leader, he felt a chill of trepidation facing this unfathomable Spacetime Dao Master, especially when he glimpsed that divine sword floating above Ming Jian's head, appearing both real and illusory.
Ming Jian's Xuanhuang Dao Treasure? The thought flashed through Eastmoon's mind. When the Chaos Nuclei had emerged, the Creation Origin Armor's spirit had proclaimed that "True Saint Ming Jian possesses a Xuanhuang Dao Treasure”. This news had spread throughout the endless cosmic sea, reaching all major factions.
Eastmoon knew this as well, but Ming Jian remained far too mysterious. No one knew when he had reached the Dao Zenithel stage, let alone anything about his Xuanhuang Dao Treasure. Even Dao Zenithel Wan Yu, who could sense such treasures through the Eternal Register, had never pursued Ming Jian precisely because he couldn't detect it.
The white-robed figure emerging from the void fixed Ancestral Saint Eastmoon with an unwavering stare.
Originally, I had planned to eliminate Dong Huo. Wu Yuan mused inwardly, his mind calm. But he's been playing it safe, staying close to Dao Zenithel Wan Yu. Any attempt on his life would certainly prompt Wan Yu's intervention.
As for targeting Wan Yu himself? With the Eternal Register's protection, killing him would be nearly impossible. If it were that simple, the Heavenly Imperator and Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu would have done so long ago.
Dao Zenithel Bai Lian wasn't the main culprit, and her Dream World likely made her soul defenses stronger than average. Most crucially, Ancestral Saint Eastmoon had actively pursued Wu Yuan's body refiner self, ending up farthest from the other leaders.
"Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, Dao Zenithel Fu You, Eldritch Progenitor Zhu Rong, Eldritch Progenitor Gong Gong, do your utmost to keep them occupied." Wu Yuan's voice resonated in the minds of the Eldritch Court's Dao Zenithels.
"Understood!"
"Got it."
The Eldritch Court's Dao Zenithels responded instantly. Ming Jian's appearance signaled that the hunt had officially begun. They knew physical attacks alone couldn't slay a Dao Zenithel—only psyche weapon attacks stood a chance.
