SWNOVELXO Chapter 789 Sub-Honored Defeated
Smoke billowed and a dense mist enveloped the vast ocean, making it impossible to see clearly.
Wu Yazun, expressionless, walked on with hands behind his back, and as he advanced, the thick fog around him dispersed instantly.
The five Pavilion Masters of the Martial Dao Pavilions followed him, their eyes surprisingly fearless.
Within the ocean, the gray-blue waters surged and splashed. In the distance, shadows of giant sharks cut across, demonic pigs leaped from the water, and terrifying giant whales stirred up massive waves.
...All creatures of the ocean had been tainted by the Bizarre Beings, turned into their slaves!
"You are not him."
From the depths of the mist, suddenly, a pair of crimson eyes lit up.
Those eyes, vast as stars, resembled two blood-red moons over the sea.
The bloody gaze illuminated the ocean, and from afar, in the middle of the boundless sea, stood a withered giant lotus.
Wrapped around this withered giant lotus was a giant Stone Serpent with a severed tail, its body full of cracks and a huge pit at its seventh section, as if it had been pierced by a fingertip.
The Stone Serpent's tongue was flat, and its two blood-red eyes stared menacingly at Wu Yazun.
A chill inexplicably spread across the entire sea surface.
The restless Ash Mist Creatures of the sea floor, like giant sharks and demonic pigs, suddenly quieted down, as if waiting.
Wu Yazun looked at the giant serpent and the withered giant lotus ahead, his eyelids twitched slightly, and with fury, he said,
"I am not him."
"If I were him, that punch just now would have shattered you!"
Upon hearing this, the giant serpent's crimson bloody eyes revealed a mocking light, and said,
"He is already dead."
"I am still alive!"
"His lotus... has already become a meal on my plate!"
"Haha, the Martial Dao Heavenly Heart Lotus, one petal one realm... truly delicious. It's a pity I couldn't taste his body."
Saying this, it opened its vast snake mouth and gnawed at the withered giant lotus.
"How dare you!"
Seeing this, Wu Yazun's fury soared and he exclaimed,
"The lotus of Martial Honor, though dead... is not for you to tarnish!"
He clenched his fists tightly and charged at the giant gray serpent.
In the ocean, various terrifying creatures burst from the water, sweeping through the skies, aiming to kill them!
Wu Yazun struck with a punch, shattering countless eerie beings of the sea.
Flocks of Stone Crows flew over, densely packed.
"Master... leave these to us!"
The five Pavilion Masters spoke up; they roared and advanced to block the Stone Crows.
Among them, four were from the Sixth Realm, while the Pavilion Master Gu Zhongtian, from the Central Continent Martial Dao Pavilion, was even a Seventh Realm powerhouse!
Yet, in front of these Stone Crows, all five were in extreme disarray, instantly covered in injuries, pecked severely by the Stone Crows.
Wu Yazun, with his overwhelmingly dominant martial stance, repressed countless creatures and finally approached the withered giant lotus.
However, on top of the withered lotus, the giant gray serpent coldly ridiculed,
"You are too weak."
"Presuming to strike at me with just a trace of his aura from yesteryears? Foolish!"
"Kneel down, worship me as your master, become my slave, and I can grant you the eternity of the ash mist!"
The giant serpent spoke, and from its blood-red eyes, instantly two world-ending beams shot forth.
The twin beams of light directly oppressed Wu Yazun.
Wu Yazun's entire strength erupted, his flesh burning, as he put all his effort into stopping the two beams of bloody light.
Yet, the power within those beams already surpassed his limits.
That gray serpent... over countless epochs, had regained the power of the High Road Level.
An unmatched foe in the world.
Wu Yazun could not advance a step; his fists upheld a martial light screen, resisting the eyes' light.
But the power of those beams gradually intensified.
Wu Yazun's body bled profusely!
His knees were about to burst.
"In the past, I once kneeled before Martial Honor begging for a way out... Haha, today, you will kneel in my presence in his stead!"
The giant serpent spoke icily, and with a shift of its body, the intensity of its gaze surged.
Wu Yazun's knees burst open!
He was about to be forcefully brought to his knees!
"No!"
Martial Honor's eyes blazed with fury.
He exerted all his strength, but he couldn't resist.
"I can die... but I cannot disgrace the name of Martial Honor!"
He went mad, his hair flying wildly, his eyes splitting with rage:
"Today, let me use my life to seriously injure you once again for a thousand years!"
His breath became chaotic; he wanted to detonate the last of the Martial Honor essence within himself.
Seeing this, even the Giant Serpent was startled and exclaimed:
"Have you gone mad?!"
Although Wu Yazun had not yet ascended the Path, the trace of Martial Honor essence in him was extremely extraordinary; using this method to explode could very likely blast it back into severe injury.
By then, it would definitely not recover for thousands of years.
"I have been mad for a long time... hahaha..."
Wu Yazun roared out, completely losing his sanity in that moment.
"My master died in battle, and I was powerless, took the wrong path, killed too many innocents..."
In the instant before his death, sudden sorrow engulfed Wu Yazun's heart.
"Master... Little Stone... I really tried my best..."
"I'm sorry..."
He murmured, his soul about to explode!
Yet, at that moment, a calm voice suddenly resounded.
"Why blow yourself up to deal with it."
Hearing this voice, Wu Yazun was instantly startled.
In his eyes, a look of disbelief emerged!
"Master?!"
"Am I... am I hallucinating?"
He couldn't believe it.
Could it be that his yearning was so deep that he heard his master's voice?
Meanwhile, even the ferocious Ash Mist Giant Serpent was somewhat agitated at this moment:
"Who... who is speaking?!"
"Come out!"
"Don't think... by impersonating that person's voice, you can frighten the Honored One!"
It seemed somewhat... blustering but inwardly fearful as if consoling itself:
"He's already dead... cannot come back to life."
Yet, as its words ended, another voice spoke:
"Is that so? Then let me come back to life and show you!"
This time, both Wu Yazun and the Ash Mist Giant Serpent were taken aback and looked towards the source of the voice.
Suddenly, amidst the ocean's waves, when no one knew how, a Giant Turtle as large as a mountain approached, riding the wind and breaking the waves.
Surrounding Ash Mist Creatures, like giant whales and giant turtles, hastily moved aside, overwhelmed by fear.
And on the gigantic back of the Xuan Wu, several young people stood prominently.
One of them, taking the lead and standing with hands behind his back, looked indifferently towards the Sky Vault; his expression had some resemblance to Wu Yazun's, yet compared to him, Wu Yazun seemed twisted, odd, like a mere imitation.
Seeing him, Wu Yazun, who was on the brink of self-detonation, suddenly shook violently, his gaze fixed on Long Zixuan.
"You... Master?!"
Wu Yazun instinctively spoke, then suddenly knelt down!
"Master... You have returned?!"
"Is this real?"
At this moment, tears streamed down Wu Yazun's face!
And on that withered Giant Lotus, the Sky Vault-dominating Giant Serpent's body also began to tremble, its huge crimson eyes filled with fear.
"No... how could you possibly still be alive?"
It also swept its gaze over Long Zixuan's companions, Jiang Li, Wu Dade, Big Black Dog... even the Giant Turtle beneath their feet.
"How could all of you still be alive?!"
The words of the Giant Serpent were filled with terror!
...
Sleep.
