Chapter 763 - 436: Ancient Existence? Void Gate
Just a single voice, and the ancient assassin race known as the Phantom Mantis, which struck fear during the Ancient Era, has turned into a pool of minced flesh, the scent of blood and death permeating the entire space.
This ancient assassin race met its demise here in an unimaginably terrifying manner.
Zheng Yi, revealing his figure, gazed intently at the distance, his expression suddenly became extraordinarily solemn.
"I see it! This place seems quite unusual, doesn’t it?!"
His eyes were unfathomable, mumbling words that seemed to blend with the air, and as his voice disappeared, his figure also vanished with the wind, as if he’d never been there.
...
"The Phantom Mantis of the Ancient Era, a terrifying monster long thought extinct?!"
Zheng Yi had clearly identified the incoming creature, becoming utterly serious. The fact that such monsters lived in this ancient area explained why even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would perish.
Without a doubt, this space is an extremely terrifying region.
While Zheng Yi pondered, suddenly the distant forest quivered, as though numerous entities were swarming towards him. The terrifying aura surged, causing his face to change as if he had sensed something peculiar.
"So many Phantom Mantises?!"
When Zheng Yi noticed the figures flying from afar, he clearly realized it was a swarm of deadly Phantom Mantises advancing towards him.
Each one had blood-red eyes, seemingly fueled by the death of their kin, unleashing a frightful killing intent.
"Hmm!?"
Zheng Yi’s gaze focused as he slowly raised his right hand. Suddenly, a massive force surged behind him, and a vast, complex sword diagram exuding the aura of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire twisted the Power of Space, gradually manifesting in the void behind him.
The terrifying aura covered a space of a thousand zhang, and an unseen, dreadful majesty spread in all directions.
The apparitions of the Slay, Annihilate, Trap, and Massacre Immortal Swords appeared, and in this land once home to Gods and Demons, a destructive and primeval energy enveloped Zheng Yi, causing a magnificent momentum to rise.
Then, with a wave of Zheng Yi’s right hand, the overwhelming aura flowed, forming an enormous Sealing Map above his head, which plummeted from the sky, harshly covering the distant forest.
Wherever it passed, the four Immortal Swords intertwined, turning everything into Chaos, transforming into a shadow that engulfed all.
Rumble!
A loud explosion echoed across the heavens and the earth.
The dreadful sound waves spread in all directions, forming a raging shockwave that swept away everything.
In the area covered by the Evil Extermination Array Map, whether tall trees or ancient fierce beasts, were reduced to ashes under the intersecting shadows of the four Immortal Swords.
In an instant, the advancing swarm of Phantom Mantises vanished in the midst of earth-shattering booms.
A moment later, the world fell completely silent.
The tremoring waves settled, and the terrifying sound waves quieted down.
Where the gaze fell, only crisscrossing Sword Qi imprints remained, deeply engraved into the earth, forming vast chasms as if the ground had split, with an unknown thousands of zhang in depth.
The enormous marks, with countless dense Sword Qi coalescing without dispersing, lingered on the ground, giving an overwhelming sense of imminent shredding to anyone who approached.
It wasn’t merely the annihilation of the flesh, but a direct erasure from the level of the soul.
"When the skin is gone, where can the fur attach?"
The power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Map in Zheng Yi’s hands reached its peak, erasing everything of the adversary from the temporal and spatial dimensions. The extent of its dreadfulness and danger was self-evident.
Who could have thought, such an unparalleled Sword Array emerged from the hands of a non-Sword Cultivator, directly obliterating a horde of fearsome beasts from the material level, such a terrifying aura gave an overwhelming feeling of extreme dread.
Without a doubt, Zheng Yi’s solitary action completely deterred all external threats.
The beasts that were previously about to move now withdrew their fangs upon witnessing the horrific plight faced by the Phantom Mantises, trembling and hiding away.
These beasts from the Ancient Era, although ferocious, were not foolish. Facing such a brutal opponent, an unimaginably strong enemy, they knew well what to revere.
"Have they all left?!"
Zheng Yi scanned his surroundings, and his Divine Soul Power extended to a broader area. For the time being, he did not discover any fierce beasts present.
The tactic of ’shaking the mountain to scare the tiger’ had indeed worked well, sparing him further trouble.
With the unparalleled vicious power of the Immortal Slaying Array Map, wherever the Sword Qi passed, it seemed to recreate the heavens and earth. As long as they weren’t foolish, the numerous beasts abandoned any thought of besieging him and quickly fled with their tails between their legs.
...
Since this place was once a well-preserved fragment of the ancient Star Realm, there was a good chance that substances not found in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm were present.
Besides the possible existence of Rule Treasure Fragments, there might also be hidden Divine Gold Ores capable of forging the Immortal Slaying Sword.
For Zheng Yi, this indeed was an unexpected delight.
He sensed that this time, he could definitely collect the materials for the last Immortal Slaying Sword.
Gazing at the lush forest resembling a green ocean, his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
He understood, the more perilous a region seemed, the higher the possibility of concealing incredible treasures.
