Chapter 1207: Seven Sky-Breaking Strikes
Boom!
The sound of thunder filled the sky!
“High Priest, what exactly is going on?” an emperor asked in fear as he looked at the continuous streaks of thunder.
The person known as the high priest seemed to be an elderly man in his seventies. His cultivation base was at the pinnacle of the Star Grade, and he had the highest cultivation base on the planet he was living on.
“Your Highness, the skies are frightened!” he replied in disbelief after some hesitation.
The skies were frightened!
What were the skies? To them, the skies were boundless limits, the very omnipotence that could influence their way of living.
How could the skies be afraid?
“High priest, do you even know what you are saying? Why would the skies be frightened?” Another person interrupted.
On this small planet, the position of the high priest was unrivaled. Even a prince who was going to ascend to the throne to become king would have to be acknowledged by the high priest.
An emperor without the acknowledgment of the high priest would not even be able to command anybody. One could say that nobody in that place dared doubt the instructions of the high priest.
However, he was doubted simply because what he had said this time was so unbelievable.
Why would the honorable and mighty skies shiver? Why would they feel fear? Why would they…
The emperor was known as the chosen one of the skies. How would he react upon hearing that the skies were frightened?
The high priest wasn’t angered by the questions being asked. “To be honest, I could not believe it either when I saw that phenomenon,” he replied. ” However, the skies are indeed trembling. There are supreme beings who want to destroy the skies, and this is simply the reaction of the skies to the prowess of those beings.”
The high priest turned pale after saying this.
“High priest, do supreme beings truly exist in this universe?” the emperor asked.
“Yes, definitely. Why else would the skies shudder in fear? Besides, I have this strong feeling that those supreme beings come from the Human Race. Otherwise, why would the skies be prejudiced against the Human Race?”
The thought of some supreme being trying to destroy the skies sounded very much like a fantasy to the emperor and his subordinates. However, when the high priest said that the supreme being was human, literally no one present believed his words.
They even thought that the high priest might have gone senile.
“Your Highness, I know some people might think that I am going senile. I would like to say that I am still very clear-headed and the person destroying the skies is indeed human!”
Streaks of lightning gathered to form a net before striking downward against the ground as he spoke.
The purple lightning net gave off the feeling of a great apocalypse.
The emperor, who tried his best to keep his composure, slipped and fell to the ground upon seeing that boundless lightning net!
The ministers who were with the emperor all shivered in fear except for the high priest, who stood rooted on the highest point of the altar.
As the lightning net descended, vegetation ceased to exist. As soon as the lightning net descended, they saw the pole of a banner appear in the sky.
This treasured banner, however, was not located in the same sky they were in. They could only see the reflection of its divine rays because its power and might was so strong that it broke through the sky.
That was why they were able to see the image of the banner!
The boundless lightning disappeared completely from the sky as the banner was swung. At that moment, it felt as though the sky and land around had come to a complete standstill.
There was no sound or movement. There was only peace throughout the sky and land!
Droplets of bloody rain began falling down once again from the sky. The high priest felt something exceptionally strong lurking amid this rainfall.
In the past, he would have rushed out into this continuous rainfall to investigate the details of whatever was lurking within. However, this time, he was filled with dread.
A sense of terror overcame him amid this bloody rain. He knew that even if he were to just stretch a single hand out to approach this rain, death would certainly await him!
The lightning disappeared as the bloody rain continued to fall. The high priest looked up into the sky and saw a silhouette standing atop a giant altar.
It was a towering, mighty silhouette!
It was not known exactly how many people were standing with the high priest looking at the silhouette. However, the moment they saw it, they were filled with a mixture of reverence and fear.
Luo Yunyang knew fully well what was going on in every corner of the great cosmos. He just wasn’t inclined to care about any other situation.
All he did was move the Sky-Breaking Banner he held in his hands.
According to Yuan Sage Jinlao, swinging the Sky-Breaking Banner seven times would destroy the Origin Intent of the realm. Of course, before swinging the Sky-Breaking Banner, the various treasures used in the tempering process of the banner had to be removed.
Swinging this banner wasn’t something that could be done in just any way. The activation of certain laws was necessary as well. These seven swings had been named Seven Sky-Breaking Strikes by Yuan Sage Jinlao.
Although Yuan Sage Jinlao spoke casually about the usage of the Seven Sky-Breaking Strikes, Lunyang could feel the difference indeed when he was activating the swings of the Sky-Breaking Banner.
The very first swing made him feel as though his entire energy was being absorbed by the Sky-Breaking Banner.
However, this was just the beginning.
Even though the lightning was destroyed, the howling winds continued to form rapidly in the sky. It only took less than a minute for the developed winds to spread out and start turning the 36 Great Cosmoses into ruins.
Although the destruction of the realm’s Origin Intent was nearly completed, it was still a force to be reckoned with when its existence was in danger.
Luo Yunyang, who had already made his first swing amid these rapid winds, then made his second swing.
Seven Sky-Breaking Strikes, second swing!
The Sky-Breaking Banner, which had been tempered by Luo Yunyang, posed no obstruction when he was using it, except that the energy required for wielding such a weapon was simply massive.
Luo Yunyang quickly recovered his energy after making the first swing, but this recovered energy was also quickly absorbed by the Sky-Breaking Banner.
On top of this, Luo Yunyang could feel a part of his body seemingly crumbling under this massive power.
Luo Yunyang persevered despite that discomfort and the massive winds disappeared completely.
“The winds are gone!” Yuan Zi and the rest were sitting crossed-legged right next to the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor under a divine altar.
They were second only to Luo Yunyang within the Human Race, so the duty of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor and the others was to protect Luo Yunyang. Even though the Human Race might just be able to destroy any threats against them in the process of destroying the Origin Intent of the skies, nobody was able to guarantee that someone would not use this chance to sneak an attack against Luo Yunyang.
Destroying the Origin Intent of the realm was no easy task after all. Failure would mean exceptionally severe repercussions.
“Not only have the winds dissipated, but so has the lightning. Once the winds and ravaging lightning are gone, what he has to destroy next are the origins of the cosmos.” Yuan Zi sighed.
“The destruction of the seven subjects would imply that the Origin Intent of the realm would be thoroughly destroyed.”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor looked at Yuan Zi without saying a word. He had already begun to look up to this talented young man and felt that he would be the most talented disciple.
However, he sensed that he could not quite predict the actions of Yuan Zi, who was already a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.
Under the circumstances, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor knew that there was a possibility that his standards were not even second in place in the Human Race. There was a chance that Yuan Zi was stronger than him.
“I hope that after the Human Ruler destroys the Origin Intent, he will be able to reconstruct it. Otherwise, I am worried that the only people who will survive in this land will be us humans.”
“When that happens, the great calamity will come right away,” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor replied.
“Rest assured, Divine Ancestor, I believe that the Human Ruler will be able to reconstruct the Origin Intent as much as I believe he will go on to destroy it,” Yuan Zi replied.
“Otherwise, he would not take such a risk!”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was surprised by Yuan Zi’s calm expression. Looking at his expression gave him a sense of admiration and fear!
This novel feeling that was awakened in his heart had already lain dormant for millions of years. In just a moment, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor braced himself against the ominous feeling he had.
However, upon looking at Yuan Zi again, he noticed some sort of restriction on his body.
A type of restriction that affected his appearance!
In an instant, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor heaved a sigh of relief, as though he understood everything and everything seemed to have returned to normal.
Yuan Zi seemed to understand the reason for the surprised expression of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. “Divine Ancestor, I seem to be unpredictable, right?” He laughed.
“That’s right. In reality, I could not tell what you were thinking.”
As the two of them were conversing, the bloody rain in their surroundings suddenly intensified.
Despite the presence of Divine Venerates, the various streaks of destructive laws hidden within the bloody rain would still be killed.
Just as this bloody rain intensified, Luo Yunyang swung the Sky-Breaking Banner he was holding in his hands once more.
The wind was gone, so were the rain and thunder!
There was a strange atmosphere in the realm!
Following the dissipation of these elements, intense exhaustion overwhelmed Luo Yunyang. This fatigue was not only physical but also mental. Destroying the origin of the will of the sky was not such a simple matter.
The repercussions that came along with it were massive. After swinging the Sky-Breaking Banner in all directions, Luo Yunyang decided that he would never attempt a move as risky as destroying the Origin Intent of the realm ever again.
“Humans, are you really trying to drive me into a corner?” An overwhelmingly majestic voice bellowed throughout the sky.
It was the Origin Intent of the realm, which had been awakened due to Luo Yunyang’s attempt to destroy it.
This awakening was only temporary, as its life had been threatened!
If this Origin Intent had been awakened much earlier, then Luo Yunyang would never have taken such drastic measures. Unfortunately, the awakening had come too late and it would be unable to last long in that condition.
“You should understand why I am destroying you. If I were to stop now, you would not even need a minute before you fell back into your slumber. By destroying you, I can reconstruct the Origin Intent.”
“Good, good, good!” bellowed the voice in the sky as a massive pagoda appeared above.
This massive pagoda contained boundless might. A large swaying bell made time turn as the pagoda descended and cracks began appearing in the sky.
Bell of Time, Pagoda of Space!
The Origin Intent had two foundations that formed the realm’s Origin Intent. Most of the time, this Origin Intent would not rely on the use of these two foundations, as their usage would inflict injuries on the user and other people.
Now, it had to make use of these two treasures. After all, it was left with no other choice.
The clock and pagoda made the space and time in the area come to a standstill. Even the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, who had a Taiyi Yuan Venerate status, was unable to move due to the appearance of these two objects.
He felt a mixture of disappointment and fear as he saw the two treasures appearing.
Just as the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor felt a sense of loss come from the Origin Intent of the realm, a pair of hands flew across the sky.
No, it was actually a massive hand that flew out of the massive pagoda.
The strongest weapons of the Origin Intent of the sky were the massive pagoda and the bell. This massive hand did not belong to it.
What frightened the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor even more was the might of the massive hands, which were a hundred times stronger than the bell and the pagoda.
“What is that?”
“The hands of the great calamity. It looks like they have joined forces!” Yuan Zi exclaimed.
