Boom!
Khatabah’s body trembled upon receiving the mental attack, and he almost instantly paused in mid-air.
His blurry figure became clear, revealing his unpleasant and pale face. Even Khatabah was forced to focus when confronting the terrifying Psychic Energy of an ancient monster like the Nightmare Beast.
But unlike the Ifrit, Khatabah simply paled. While his aura was wounded, his injuries were far less severe than the Ifrit’s.
After all, the Ifrit had no physical body. Its strongest trait was also its greatest weakness.
But Khatabah was different. He had a hardy soul, and his pious belief made for a firm resolve. The fusion of soul and body additionally formed the strongest defense against purely mental attacks.
Buzz!
The mental attack crumbled. The Nightmare Beast’s attack on Khatabah was not even seventy percent as effective as it was on the Ifrit.
At this moment, even the Nightmare Beast developed an immense fear of Khatabah.
But Wang Chong could not concern himself with such things. As the Nightmare Beast was holding back Khatabah, Wang Chong clenched the Origin Immortal Sword with his right hand—though perhaps it now needed to be called the Xuanyuan Sword.
He then made a small cut on his finger, drew out a trickle of heart blood, and inserted it into the Origin Immortal Sword.
The fingers were connected to the heart, making this the best and fastest method to obtain heart blood.
Once this was done, Wang Chong activated a hidden ability of the Xuanyuan Sword.
Buzz!
The Xuanyuan Sword’s surface flashed with a bloody light, and then a powerful pull erupted from the blade.
Wang Chong’s boundless Psychic Energy and a part of his soul were immediately pulled into the sword.
Rumble!
The Xuanyuan Sword fiercely shuddered, and as owner fused with sword, their energies soared. Dark clouds began to roll in, and a dark figure began to manifest behind Wang Chong.
This figure was one thousand feet tall and wore a high crown and wide belt. Although it was merely a thin shadow, one could feel an aura of majesty and solemnity from its crown, an aura of a sovereign who received the reverence of all of humanity.
At this moment, all beings in the world bowed to ‘him’!
The Origin Immortal Sword, the Xuanyuan Sword, finally revealed a hint of the power of humanity that it contained.
At this moment, Wang Chong felt like his soul had gone several thousand years back in time, fusing together with that ‘first ancestor of humanity’.
Human Emperor Xuanyuan!
The progenitor of the culture of the Central Plains and the ancestor of all sovereigns!
The dark figure created by the Xuanyuan Sword was none other than the Nightmare Beast’s previous master, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!
Buzz!
Upon sensing this energy, the World-Destroying Ifrit grimaced.
“What is that?!”
The Ifrit anxiously cried out, sensing intense danger from that figure behind Wang Chong. Rumble! Not even waiting for Wang Chong to attack, it sundered open the earth, sending countless gouts of blazing hot lava gushing out and shooting toward Wang Chong in the sky like sharp swords.
At the same time, the Ifrit opened its mouth and roared. A pillar of lava wreathed in flames exceeding two hundred thousand degrees shot out of its mouth toward Wang Chong.
And in order to prevent Wang Chong from escaping, it created numerous whips that moved at speeds that the eye could not catch. They sliced through the air and surrounded Wang Chong.
The Ifrit had forgotten about all of its injuries. It was obvious that Wang Chong’s sacred sword had made it feel an unprecedented danger.
“Khatabah, help me kill him!” the Ifrit cried out.
“Too late!”
Wang Chong’s fingers clenched around the sword, his face ice-cold. With his heart blood and a part of his soul as the payment, Wang Chong had finally activated the sealed strength of the Xuanyuan Sword. As he grasped the sword, he felt an unprecedented power.
This power transcended space and time, gathering together all the power of the Central Plains, and the power of the righteous path that had been accumulating for hundreds, thousands of years!
This was the power of humanity! The power of emperors!
Boom!
Just as the Ifrit began to attack, Wang Chong poured his Psychic Energy and the Nightmare Beast’s power into the Xuanyuan Sword. Rumble! A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and time and space seemed to freeze.
The world suddenly darkened, and then the image of a sword, as massive as a pillar of heaven, erupted from Wang Chong’s hand. It crossed a distance of more than seven thousand feet in an instant and pierced through the Ifrit’s body.
“Aaaaaah!”
This massive sword formed purely of shadows, giving off no ripples of energy, pierced through the Ifrit, and the Ifrit seemed to suffer the world’s most terrifying attack, letting out a shriek of pure misery.
This one attack had left an indelible wound on the Ifrit.
Boomboomboom!
Those gouts of lava, whips, and flames headed toward Wang Chong all collapsed, and even the high-temperature flames on the Ifrit’s body explosively dispersed. Even the waves of heat that had covered the battlefield were halved.
The world instantly became comparatively cool and refreshing.
Everyone instantly knew that the Ifrit had truly been severely wounded!
“Noooo!”
Khatabah’s eyes went wide, and he gnashed his teeth and roared in extreme fury. He had the Ifrit Core in his hand, so he understood its condition more than anyone else.
The moment Wang Chong’s gigantic shadow sword pierced through the Ifrit, he sensed the spherical mental barrier around the Ifrit’s mind completely collapsing. The Ifrit’s origin had been badly damaged and disordered, causing it to fall from its peak level.
The Ifrit was a legendary being said to be unkillable, a monster out of the myths of Arabia. No one was able to kill it!
By controlling it, one could control the world!
Why was it that there was something like this in the eastern world?
Why was there something that could counter the Ifrit?
There was nothing about this in the records of the Arabian Empire, not even in the records of that ancient civilization found in the well in Hamuhad!
Khatabah felt an unprecedented shock and an irrepressible anger and killing intent!
No one was allowed to treat his Ifrit like this!
In this world, no one except him was permitted to possess the means to counter and deal with the Ifrit! One Ifrit Core was more than enough!
All of the east, and all of the Great Tang, needed to be totally destroyed!
Nobody could stop him from unifying the entire world!
Clang!
His face pale, Khatabah suddenly waved his hand, upon which the Moon God Tree broke free of Lucis’s grip, rose out of the earth, and shot forward in a dark streak across the sky into Khatabah’s hand.
“Tang, you will pay a price for your deeds! When Arabia wins this battle, I will turn all of the Central Plains into a scorched husk! This is the price for opposing me!”
Khatabah’s face became blurry and indistinct, but his cruel voice rang out as clearly as a bell.
The Ifrit could not lose! Nor could it die!
In order to counteract his enemy’s powers, there was only one method left!
“Ifrit, get close to me so that we can fuse! Once we fuse together, we’ll destroy the eastern world!”
The cold voice resounded through the world.
A hazy white light began to radiate from Khatabah’s body, while the Moon God Tree and Moon God’s Forbidden Ring began to exude black energy. This darkness began to resonate with Khatabah’s white light and the Ifrit Core.
“Not good! Master, stop it!” the Nightmare Beast yelled into Wang Chong’s mind. Even the Nightmare Beast felt an enormous danger at this time. Khatabah, the Ifrit Core, the ancient moon god, the Ifrit… not even the Nightmare Beast knew what would happen when all these things began to resonate with each other.
But there was no doubt that it was bad for the Great Tang!
The situation was dire!
Bang!
Space shuddered as Wang Chong gripped the sword, the massive dark figure behind him mimicking his actions. A moment later, a massive shadow sword slashed once more at the Ifrit.
The Xuanyuan Sword could attack one’s origin, and it was extremely effective against creatures like the Ifrit that were born from the world’s laws. Just a few slashes paired with the Nightmare Beast’s abilities would be enough to kill the Ifrit.
But Wang Chong’s reaction, while fast, was a step too slow!
Roooar!
With a thunderous roar, the Ifrit gave up on Wang Chong and lunged in Khatabah’s direction.
The Ifrit was arrogant!
As a creature that had lived since ancient times, the Ifrit had power beyond the mortal ken. Humans in its eyes were nothing but ants, so even though it was intelligent, it did not speak.
Not out of inability, but disdain!
But at this moment, this ancient creature also felt a deep fear and unease.
Before Wang Chong, it experienced an intense and long-lost fear!
