Da Xuan Martial Saint Chapter 1513 - 727: Black Lotus Treasure
Previously on Da Xuan Martial Saint...
Summit.
Three factions faced off against one another in tense standoff.
Meanwhile, numerous Dao Venerables watched closely over the enigmatic artifact forming deep within the mountain, yearning for its swift completion to avoid more chaos.
In response to the collective anticipation, the mountain's heart—forged by Primordial Power and endlessly drawing in the Power of Dao—burst forth with brilliant radiance, then converged inward.
At last,
Under the watchful eyes of all, this roaring Power of Dao coalesced into a singular crystal boasting twelve flawless, uniform facets, each one matching the others. A nearer look revealed a subtle hint of Void energy inside, seemingly cradling an entire cosmos, a realm!
"It's done!"
"Move!"
The very second the enigmatic artifact solidified, the eyes of the nearby Dao Venerables gleamed with excitement, and they sprang into action without delay.
Some charged ahead, aiming directly at the deep well that plunged to the mountain's heart, as others unleashed savage assaults on fellow Dao Venerables close by to block their path.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Through the devastating collisions of Dao energies, a few streaks of brilliance shot out from the turbulent fray, hurtling toward the deep well at the summit's foundation.
Included among them stood Wutian Venerable, Chen Mu, plus two Venerables from the remaining two factions. These six escaped the turmoil, united in purpose: claiming the enigmatic artifact hidden at the summit's depths.
The brief clash carried little weight, given the three factions' comparable might. The first to claim the enigmatic artifact and join forces with their allies would gain a firm edge, rendering it nearly impossible for the other two to wrest it back, even in alliance.
In this instant,
Wutian Venerable and Chen Mu streaked forward like beams of light, nearly neck and neck, though they trailed just a bit behind the four Venerables of the opposing factions.
As they plunged into the deep well, no fights broke out between them, since entering the tunnel to the mountain's core brought a ferocious flood of Primordial Power crashing against them, immense and unstoppable.
Employed in forging the enigmatic artifact, this force brimmed with overwhelming strength. Dao Venerables alike had to approach it warily, and right then, all six Dao Venerables deployed their personal methods to push back against the onslaught.
Buzz!!!
Within the profound, shadowy recesses of the well, six shadowy gleams withstood the fierce Primordial Power surging from beneath, pressing onward slowly and with great effort.
Within mere moments, they neared the well's base, where the fully shaped enigmatic artifact of the Void Lineage rested right at the mountain's core!
During this phase,
Chen Mu and Wutian Venerable lagged a touch further back.
Still, neither displayed any worry over the lag. Drawing nearer to the enigmatic artifact, a spark of cunning lit up in Wutian Venerable's gaze.
"Chen Venerable, lend me your aid!"
"Alright."
After receiving Wutian Venerable's telepathic call, Chen Mu nodded in quick assent. The enigmatic artifact held little appeal for him personally, yet as a Dao Venerable of the Void Lineage, he avoided meddling in outsiders' quarrels. Since Wutian Venerable aimed to contend for it aggressively and sought his backing, he saw no reason to refuse.
With zero pause, Chen Mu thrust his hand ahead, unleashing a Void technique in a downward press.
Boom!!!
A massive surge of Void Dao power crashed down without warning.
This tremendously potent Void Dao power instantly caught the notice of the other four Dao Venerables, though the Void Dao proved elusive, and Chen Mu's method was deeply intricate. In a flash, he ripped open the nearby void by force.
Whoosh.
When the other four Dao Venerables finally responded, they witnessed Wutian Venerable—who had been trailing—now boosted by Chen Mu's help, surging past them with raw power, shattering the Primordial Power's shield and arriving at the completely formed enigmatic artifact!
"Wutian!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Fury exploded among the four Dao Venerables, who then poured out their utmost strength in unison. These four from the Creation Lineage Dao Venerables unleashed everything; instantly, it felt like the full might of Creation Dao was crashing down here. The enormous Creation energies threaded the void, crafting a hazy outline of the Creation River.
Blending into varied techniques, the four immense streams of Creation Dao power bore down on Wutian Venerable from overhead, striving to stop him from taking the enigmatic artifact.
But bolstered by Chen Mu's support and ready beforehand, Wutian Venerable met the assault with mocking chuckles. He simply extended his hand, seizing the enigmatic artifact of the Void Lineage outright.
Boom!!
Intense Void energy exploded from the enigmatic artifact, striving to fling Wutian Venerable away. Yet his eyes grew shadowy, a sharp huff escaping him, while a shining ray of Dao light flared from his hand, locking the artifact in place by sheer will.
That said, the enigmatic artifact kept shaking wildly, desperate to escape his hold.
At the same time,
The combined strike from the four Dao Venerables struck!
"Good timing!"
Wutian Venerable beheld the incoming threat calmly. A flash of ominous light crossed his eyes before he abruptly lifted his right hand, summoning a strange black Lotus Platform into his palm.
