Seeing Tangyu and his group of four working in harmony, the face of the Fourth Crown Prince of the Yao Race turned incredibly grim, glaring venomously at the four and saying, "Good, very good, it seems you've all set your heart on fighting me? Do you think that by joining forces, the four of you can actually kill me? For so many years, I, the Fourth Crown Prince, have roamed the world unfettered and have never suffered a major defeat."
Tangyu sneered, waved his Pangu Axe, and pointed at the Fourth Crown Prince of the Yao Race, "At this point, why pretend to be strong in an attempt to intimidate us? Your posturing is nothing but a paper tiger, really worthless. We are four against one, no matter how you calculate, you're on a dead-end path. Whatever formidable treasures you have, bring them out."
The Fourth Crown Prince indeed possessed valuable treasures, but he wasn't confident about being able to protect his life. Caught in such a predicament, he too was going frantic.
The unexpected rise of Tangyu and Sun Wukong was something nobody foresaw. Their overwhelming presence directly broke the existing balance, causing the scales to tip dramatically toward the Human Clan. Now, with the Demon Clan's Saint Heir dead at their hands, the situation had become even more perilous.
"Damn it, damn it, is my fate sealed to die here today? No, no, no, I refuse to accept this!" The Fourth Crown Prince of Yao Race secretly gritted his teeth, his heart in turmoil as he anxiously pondered any possible countermeasures.
Crack——
At this moment, a crisp sound reached everyone's ears, resembling the sound of the earth splitting. An even more overwhelming Immortal Might emanated, drawing Tangyu and the others' attention. Not far away, a massive crevice ripped open in the ground, and brighter light surged from it, illuminating the sky. An even more powerful Immortal Might spread from the crevice, dominating heaven and earth, and within that might was an aura of absolute dominance and sharpness.
The Immortal Artifact is about to emerge!
The four of Tangyu naturally ignored the Fourth Crown Prince of the Yao Race, temporarily putting him aside. The emergence of the Immortal Artifact was what truly mattered. Securing the Immortal Artifact was the utmost priority.
The Fourth Crown Prince of the Yao Race secretly rejoiced, as the imminent emergence of the Immortal Artifact was practically divine aid, allowing him to avoid calamity. Secretly, he resolved to seize the Immortal Artifact, which would enable him to turn the tides and reverse the situation. He meticulously formulated his plan.
Sun Wukong transmitted a secret message to Tangyu, "In a moment, I'll hold them off, and you go seize the Immortal Artifact. If they want to snatch it, they'll have to get past me first."
"Alright, Brother Monkey, I won't stand on ceremony then," Tangyu agreed without hesitation. Competing with Sun Wukong wasn't something Tangyu wanted to do.
Sure enough, shortly thereafter, amidst the radiant light, the Immortal Artifact slowly emerged, rising from the crevice. What appeared before Tangyu and the others was an exceedingly grand and imposing large blade. Etched on the blade's back was the image of a vividly lifelike dragon. The handle too was shaped like a dragon's head. It looked as though a mighty dragon had embodied itself in the sword, making it incredibly awe-inspiring and dominant. However, a small notch was missing on the blade.
The Immortal Artifact turned out to be somewhat damaged!
"What! The Immortal Artifact Dragon Slayer!" Xuanyuan Wuqing and Qin Zhanfeng both exclaimed almost simultaneously.
"The Immortal Artifact Dragon Slayer?" Tangyu raised an eyebrow slightly, knowing nothing about this Immortal Artifact. But judging from Xuanyuan Wuqing and Qin Zhanfeng's expressions, it was evident that the Dragon Slayer was extraordinary.
Xuanyuan Wuqing swallowed hard before saying in awe, "It's actually the Immortal Artifact Dragon Slayer, the weapon of the Slaying Dragon Venerable, left behind in the World of the Gods. The Slaying Dragon Venerable was a figure a few million years ago who made his mark across the world, leaving behind countless legends. It's said the Slaying Dragon Venerable once slew a divine dragon, and this Dragon Slayer was forged from it. While this is only a legend of unknown truth, the Slaying Dragon Venerable's renown in history is immense."
"However, when the Slaying Dragon Venerable reached his pinnacle strength, he suddenly vanished without a trace. Many speculate that the Slaying Dragon Venerable ascended into the Immortal Realm. Throughout history, many Venerables were rumored to have entered the Immortal Realm, but the Slaying Dragon Venerable is unquestionably one of the most famous."
After hearing Xuanyuan Wuqing's explanation, Tangyu felt relieved and secretly amazed. The tale was indeed extraordinary. The Slaying Dragon Venerable—a truly domineering title. It seemed like another extraordinary figure of legend.
"Haha, the Dragon Slayer is mine!" The Fourth Crown Prince of the Yao Race grinned sinisterly. With a swift motion, he threw out a Talisman Treasure and swiftly dashed toward the Dragon Slayer.
As the Talisman Treasure was thrown, a terrifying power burst forth, quickly enveloping Tangyu and his companions, solidifying the space around them with a massive freeze sign, halting everything in place.
"Damn you, scheming against us, Fourth Crown Prince, you're courting death!" Xuanyuan Wuqing snorted angrily, as his body burst with light, his strength fully unleashed.
Tangyu raised an eyebrow, let out a cold snort, and with the Pangu Axe fully activated, pushed his power to the limit to break the Fixation Talisman's hold.
Tangyu and the others exerted all their strength, shattering the Fixation Talisman in an instant, but even such a brief moment allowed the Fourth Crown Prince of the Yao Race to reach the Dragon Slayer. Laughing wildly, he extended his hand to grab it, determined to seize the Immortal Artifact for himself: "Haha, the Immortal Artifact is mine, the Dragon Slayer belongs to me, the Fourth Crown Prince. No one can contest me, not you or anyone else. You've all fallen for my plan after all."
"As long as I have the Immortal Artifact in hand, I, the Crown Prince, need not fear you. The four of you, I can slay you all. Immortal Artifact, Immortal Artifact."
The Fourth Crown Prince was ecstatic at this moment, incredibly excited.
"Put down the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon!" Tangyu and his group charged forward with all their might, the destructive force surged fiercely, rolling in with great momentum, aiming to directly obliterate the Fourth Crown Prince.
But they were a bit too slow; as the Fourth Crown Prince used the Fixation Talisman, he simultaneously pushed his speed to the extreme. The Yao Race is naturally adept at speed. When it comes to speed, perhaps no one here could match the Fourth Crown Prince. Thus, in an instant, he was already close to the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon, reaching for it as Tangyu and the others made their move.
"Hmph, trying to stop me is impossible." The Fourth Crown Prince had a manic smile, his hand already grasping the hilt of the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon, attempting to lift it.
But at the very first attempt, the Fourth Crown Prince immediately realized he couldn't lift it, which made his expression twist in disbelief: "What is this? Can't lift it? Damn!" For at this time, Tangyu and his group's offensive had already reached him. The terrifying pressure swept over him, aiming to crush the Fourth Crown Prince into oblivion.
The joint attack of Tangyu and his companions was without reservation, each going all out, reaching a very fearsome level of assault. The Fourth Crown Prince originally intended to gamble his life, aiming to seize the Immortal Artifact and use its might to fend off Tangyu and his group's attack, but finding the Immortal Artifact impossible to draw now made him sense the scent of death, causing his face to contort.
"Killing me won't be that easy." The Fourth Crown Prince had a crazed look, throwing all his cards onto the table, going all out. Yet, even so, he couldn't withstand the assault, terrifying forces pounded onto his body, almost shattering him to pieces. Fortunately, being of the royal Yao Clan, leader among Yao, his body had a significant advantage over the Human Clan. Plus, he had a protective treasure on him, making it not so easy to kill him in one blow.
Splat—
A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and the Fourth Crown Prince's face turned ghostly pale, severely injured. One more hit, and he would be dead for sure.
The Fourth Crown Prince wanted to try pulling out the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon once more, but at that moment, the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon flew out by itself, directly attacking the Fourth Crown Prince. With the force of Slaying Dragon, it swung down once, enough to kill even a formidable Seeking Immortal Realm being.
"No—" The Fourth Crown Prince's face was instantly filled with terror; he wanted to resist but was powerless to do so.
Tangyu and his group were also greatly shocked by this scene, immediately stepping back. Could the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon actually launch attacks on its own? Slay those who attempt to seize it? Was it becoming sentient?
Chiii!!!
The Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon swung down, the Yao Race's Fourth Crown Prince could only despair, letting out one last terrifying scream before being cleaved in two, his Zifu utterly destroyed, dead beyond death. After killing the Yao Race's Fourth Crown Prince, the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon remained floating in the air, its blade pointing at Tangyu and his group, putting them on high alert.
"What's happening? Did this Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon gain sentience? Why do I feel a terrifying aura from it?" Xuanyuan Wuqing also furrowed his brow. Immortal Artifacts have a certain spirituality, but to the point of gaining sentience? Unless—it's a true Immortal Artifact. The so-called Immortal Artifacts in the Cultivation World, strictly speaking, aren't true Immortal Artifacts; it's just that people habitually refer to them as such.
True Immortal Realm, that should belong to the Immortal Realm, the belongings of Immortals.
This unexpected development left Tangyu and his group deep in thought, fixing their gaze on the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon, not daring to act rashly.
Tangyu furrowed his brow, saying: "Something's off, doesn't feel right. Why do I sense that within this Immortal Might, it's not just the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon's, there seems to be something even more vast. It's elusive, hard to capture. Only occasionally can I sense a trace, but it quickly vanishes."
"Hmm?" Hearing Tangyu's words, Xuanyuan Wuqing and Qin Zhanfeng both furrowed their brows deeply, focusing on sensing.
After a while, both of their faces showed signs of astonishment, Xuanyuan Wuqing also said: "Indeed, there are actually two forms of Immortal Might. One comes from the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon, more domineering. If not sensed carefully, we would certainly dismiss it, presuming it's just the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon. But with attentive sensing, you can detect the differences. That Immortal Might is more vast, more elusive, seemingly deliberately restrained."
"What's going on? Could it be—besides the Immortal Artifact Slaying Dragon, there's another Immortal Artifact here? Or what else could it be?"
Tangyu suddenly conceived a thought in his mind: "Could it be yet another character from the Ancient Times present here?"
