Chapter 1341: Wu Yuan And The Heavenly Imperator (1)
What? This!
Biao Huo? Yin Yue? Imperial Majesty Nan Guang's expression transformed from confidence to horror as he fixed his gaze on the white-robed figure hovering at the void's edge. His heart froze in his chest.
Just as he prepared to draw the two Dao Zenithels into his grotto-heaven artifact, Dao Zenithel Ming Jian had annihilated them with nothing more than a thought. And he hadn’t moved any closer, still standing an immense distance away.
The implications staggered him. Dao Zenithels Biao Huo and Yin Yue possessed power equivalent to Dao Zenithel Jiu You, both at Peak Dao Zenithel strength. By all logic, they could have withstood even the Heavenly Imperator's attacks for some time.
Yet they had been killed in a thought.
Nan Guang's mind raced. This power surpasses what he displayed outside the Chaos Void. Could Ming Jian truly have reached Goddess Nüwa’s legendary level in the past? Though he had never seen Goddess Nüwa, Nan Guang doubted even she could do more than obliterate two Peak Dao Zenithels with a mere thought.
In the distance, Wu Yuan's mana body observed the aftermath with mild disappointment. Employing the first level of Psyche Destruction to eliminate two Peak Dao Zenithel powerhouses consumed a full twenty percent of my psyche power.
Psyche Destruction! This was the secret soul-extinguishing art Wu Yuan had developed in recent years after comprehending the Samsara Sword's essence and combining his insights with the third technique of Heaven's Horizon—Annihilation.
Destroy one's own psyche to destroy the enemy's even more thoroughly.
In absolute power, this ultimate technique couldn't yet match the inheritance left by Goddess Nüwa, let alone compare to Heaven's Horizon, but it suited Wu Yuan perfectly. And what suited one best was ultimately strongest.
Wu Yuan had conceptualized Psyche Destruction with three distinct levels. The first sacrificed ten percent of one's psyche power to extinguish an enemy's soul. The second level expended fifty percent, the move Wu Yuan had used to slay Ancestral Saint Eastmoon when his qi refiner self was merely a True Saint.
Yet in his mind, these first two levels were merely conventional methods. Only the third level represented the ultimate killing move.
