Ch. 1575 - Turned To Dust With A Snap of The Fingers

Although Wang Hengzhi knew such a thing was basically impossible, after all, the Grand Emperor realm was not some casual stage anyone could just break into, he still couldn’t help thinking of Xiao An’an. Her cultivation used to be below his, yet now she had already reached God Meridian. At this rate, becoming a Grand Emperor might not be far off for her.

As for him, already at Empyrean Meridian, he only needed to cross the God Meridian threshold to enter the Grand Emperor realm. With those thoughts swirling in his mind, Wang Hengzhi immediately said, “I beg Ancestor to grant me this opportunity.”

“Stand up,” Xu Zimo said. “Even if I don’t help you, someone will. You rebuilt the True Martial Sacred Ground, this is the reward you deserve. We’ll talk after this battle ends.”

“Yes,” Wang Hengzhi said solemnly.

Xu Zimo looked back toward the ongoing fight. The Black-and-White Twin Fiends were gradually losing ground. White Fiend was fighting Willow Ancestor, and alone he simply wasn’t a match. Though Willow’s strength wasn’t impressive in his prime, age had turned him into a refined monster, his power was still formidable. The willow path itself was tied to longevity.

As for Black Fiend, he had initially suppressed Xiao An’an, but over time she gained more and more combat experience. More importantly, she had begun adapting to the intensity of his attacks. Her defense steadily grew stronger, and eventually, she began counterattacking.

The Twin Fiends grew increasingly anxious. Black Fiend glanced toward Ocean Dragon Prince in the sky and shouted, “Ocean Dragon Prince! Are you still just watching? Why haven’t you ordered the Red Dragon Army to attack?”

“If I’d known you two were this useless, I would have brought the National Preceptor instead,” Ocean Dragon Prince snapped coldly. Then he declared, “No matter what, I will destroy the True Martial Sacred Ground today.”

He raised his hand. “Red Dragon Army, attack! Show your might and flatten this sect!”

The Red Army soldiers roared in response.

Booming thunder-like tremors echoed as they charged downward like a flood. Many disciples of the True Martial Sacred Ground trembled; some couldn’t even hold their weapons steady. With the sect in decline, the disciples they managed to recruit were not exactly the strongest talents.

In the sky, millions of Dragon Might soldiers descended. The True Martial Sacred Ground, in contrast, had only fifty-six thousand disciples. The sheer disparity crushed any spark of fighting spirit they had left.

“Ancestor, please, do something,” Wang Hengzhi begged. “These disciples aren’t fit for heavy combat. It took us forever just to gather them. We can’t let them all die!”

“What are you panicking for?” Xu Zimo tilted his head slightly and snapped his fingers.

A deafening boom followed. A bolt of lightning tore down from the heavens, splitting the sky in two. The Red Dragon Army was instantly engulfed. Countless soldiers exploded on the spot, screams mixing with the stench of blood as bodies rained from above.

The once-fearsome Red Dragon Army fell into chaos. They had no chance to resist. Sky turned into a storm of corpses and blood.

The True Martial disciples, who moments before had been trembling, now stood frozen in shock. Even Deng Linyu, who came expecting to be entertained by the chaos, could no longer smile. She rubbed her eyes continuously.

“This isn’t real… It can’t be real…”

In the sky, Ocean Dragon Prince’s face twisted in horror.

He shouted hysterically, “Don’t panic! Form the Dragon Formation, condense the Dragon Soul! Don’t forget, you are the invincible Red Dragon Army!”

His voice helped the surviving soldiers regain some spirit. They gathered together, dragon aura rising wildly. Their bodies transformed into pieces of white dragon scales, merging into a hundred-meter-long white dragon that roared furiously at Xu Zimo.

“Noisy,” Xu Zimo said lightly.

Another boom cracked the heavens. A massive stream of violet lightning crashed down, blasting the white dragon out of the sky. The dragon had no chance to resist. When the white dragon hit the ground, countless soldiers lay groaning in agony.

Ocean Dragon Prince and the Twin Fiends, seeing this, immediately turned to flee. But escape was impossible.

Xu Zimo merely lifted his gaze. The space around them twisted. Time and space froze. The three of them were locked in mid-air like insects in amber.

The crowd below stared blankly, unable to believe what they were seeing. Was the Ancestor really this powerful?

Xu Zimo waved his hand, and the bodies of the Twin Fiends and Ocean Dragon Prince were thrown to the ground like puppets.

“Sect Master Wang, it’s your turn now,” Xu Zimo said.

Wang Hengzhi swallowed hard, still recovering from shock. “I... I understand!”

He walked slowly to Ocean Dragon Prince. The prince continued shouting.

“Wang Hengzhi, you’re finished! Truly finished! I won’t spare any of you!”

“Ocean Dragon Prince, even now? You’re a prisoner and still dare threaten me?” Wang Hengzhi snorted. As sect master, he could not afford to appear weak at this moment.

“So what if I threaten you?” Longhai hissed. “You think having a single strong cultivator makes you special? The Ancient Dragon God-Empire has countless cultivators, Grand Emperors included. If you release me now and apologize, there may still be room to negotiate.”

“If you refuse to spare the True Martial Sacred Ground, then taking you down with us before we die is good enough,” Wang Hengzhi said coldly.

Ocean Dragon Prince’s expression faltered. He finally realized he had pushed too hard. “W-we can discuss this!”

“Then answer me,” Wang Hengzhi demanded. “Why have you targeted the True Martial Sacred Ground again and again? We’ve already paid the protection fee. Why keep forcing us?”

Ocean Dragon Prince remained silent.

“Let me handle this,” Xu Zimo said, shaking his head with a faint smile. “You’re still too soft. Without ruthlessness, you won’t survive.”

Xiao An’an pushed the wheelchair forward. Without another word, Xu Zimo swung his blade and decapitated Black Fiend instantly.

Everyone jumped in shock.

“Still don’t want to talk?” Xu Zimo asked.

Ocean Dragon Prince trembled violently, but kept his mouth shut.

Xu Zimo raised his blade again.
