Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Self-Destruction Failure_1 Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Self-Destruction Failure_1 “To think you’d try to drag me down with you in a self-destruction!”
Xu Fan muttered to himself, quite speechless.

After so many years of cultivation, Qin Wudao should have some skill by now.

How could he only resort to such a low-level tactic?

Alas, it’s so boring.

Self-destruction, this trick is what’s left over in the Cultivation World, only used when a cultivator has no other choice but to choose this method, taking the enemy with them to death.

Because self-destruction uses the power of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits and the body’s energy to create tremendous destructive force; the consequence is the annihilation of both body and soul, completely disappearing from this world, naturally unable to reincarnate again.

However, as a zombie, Qin Wudao had already departed from the path of reincarnation.

A normal death would mean eternal oblivion, so being killed by Xu Fan and dying from self-destruction were basically the same.

So, self-destruction was, in fact, a more suitable choice for Qin Wudao at the moment, at least he could take down his enemy with him.

“Xu Wufang, don’t think you can get away with it, even if you are a Heavenly Venerable powerhouse, you will still be severely injured.

But you are not; your strength is only temporary.

So, you are doomed.”

Qin Wudao, like a madman, had eyes full of frenzy.

Seeing Patriarch Qin pushed to this point, Qin Xiyue couldn’t help but shout anxiously, “Patriarch, please don’t do this!”
His emotions, from great surprise to stark disappointment, resulted in a massive sense of loss.

The huge change was of course hard to accept.

Qin Wudao couldn’t care less about the life and death of the Qin Family’s descendants.

He crazily forced the blood and True Qi in his body backward, emitting an incredibly terrifying presence, the very void nearly unable to bear the strain, becoming somewhat distorted as if it would collapse.

After all, as a Heavenly Venerable powerhouse, the power of self-destruction is comparable to a missile, turning everything within its vicinity into a void.

Any life within that void is certain to die.

But still considering the descendants of the Qin Family, he intentionally directed all the energy from his self-destruction toward Xu Fan’s direction.

Otherwise, the Qin Family would be completely wiped out.

Seeing Qin Wudao rushing at him at high speed, the corner of Xu Fan’s mouth curled into a faint, mocking smile, as if he was looking down on the situation, and he stood very calmly in place, showing no intention of moving away to create distance.

“Do you really think you can drag me to death with you?”
“Could it not be possible?

Hmph!”
Qin Wudao, with a smile of a man who believed he was about to succeed, came within twenty meters of Xu Fan.

“I hope your pipe dream can come true, hahaha…” Xu Fan laughed wildly, raising the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon and pointing it at Qin Wudao.

“Still trying to resist?

I also hope your resistance will be effective.”
Qin Wudao did not dodge or take any defensive measures, he simply charged forward like a dumbstruck youth.

Unexpectedly, the tip of the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon suddenly shot out a black light, containing a strange energy, that landed on Qin Wudao.

It stuck to him like a maggot in the bones, firmly attached, unable to shake off.

“What is this…” Qin Wudao felt something odd and became uneasy, sensing something strange about it.

“Pfft!”
It was like a needle gently pricking a balloon.

Once Qin Wudao realized the change in his body, his expression changed drastically.

What’s going on?

The strong and violent energy, ready to self-destruct, was leaking out like air from a balloon, rapidly depleting.

And as the energy leaked out, he found he was unable to self-destruct, because the energy had a way out, no longer trapped inside his body, endlessly expanding.

Qin Wudao instantly revealed a look of shock and despair.

But soon, he realized that energy wasn’t dissipating into the air but was absorbed by the black light into the heavy sword in Xu Fan’s hand.

In other words, the energy within his body was being absorbed by the heavy sword in Xu Fan’s grip.

He immediately regretted his actions deeply, because he couldn’t self-destruct, which also caused him to lose the courage to do so, only to be overtaken by the desire to cling to life once again.

He gritted his teeth, showed a pitiable expression, and knelt down to plead with Xu Fan, “Xu… Master Xu, please spare this old man’s life.

As long as you let me live, I will offer you all my life’s savings.”
Having said that, Qin Wudao waved his hand, taking out everything from his storage ring and suspending them in the air: various Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, Weapons and Treasured Armors, Spiritual Medicines and Treasures, countless to behold, dazzling and shocking to all who saw them.

It took a hundred years of accumulation to gain so many treasures.

Over the years, besides secluding himself for cultivation, Qin Wudao also explored various secret realms and committed many acts of murder and plunder, hence his substantial and astonishing wealth.

The crowd below was dumbstruck as they witnessed such a plethora of treasures, feeling overwhelmed by the sight.

A Heavenly Venerable powerhouse was the ultimate force in the Ancient Martial World, a Martial Emperor, who would receive the highest honors and be treated as the most esteemed guest wherever they appeared.

Yet, here was Patriarch Qin, a Heavenly Venerable, kneeling down and begging his opponent to spare his life.

It was a sight that left everyone utterly dumbfounded.

Xu Fan glanced at the myriad treasures without showing any particular emotion.

“Too late,” he said, shaking his head as if in lament, then spoke seriously, “But rest assured, once you die, I will take good care of your belongings, and ensure they serve their purpose, rather than remain underused like dusty pearls in your possession.

Right, you failed to self-destruct, didn’t you?

So, this body of yours is also precious, especially this rich essence of blood, hmm, I will refine it carefully, so as not to waste it.”
Xu Fan had never considered letting Qin Wudao go.

Qin Wudao was too powerful; had it not been for catching him off guard and controlling his “Life Gate,” their positions might very well have been reversed.

Moreover, the situation was one where neither party could afford to spare the other.

To be merciful to an enemy was to be cruel to oneself.

Had he really let Qin Wudao go, this old monster, who was almost devoid of humanity and had severed all desires, would not be grateful for the mercy shown.

Instead, should an opportunity arise, he would surely seek frenzied revenge.

Especially since Xu Fan’s current strength was only temporarily maintained, and once the time limit passed, he would become weakened for at least ten to fifteen days.

In that time, Qin Wudao could easily slaughter him thousands of times over, if he had that many lives to spare.

So, if Qin Wudao did not die, then he himself would.

Initially, Xu Fan had no better solution to facing the self-destruction of a Heavenly Venerable powerhouse—only to keep a sufficient distance and minimize the damage as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon, whose depth he had always been unable to see through, suddenly reacted strangely.

It seemed to have developed an intense craving for Qin Wudao’s reversed flow of blood and energy, showing a strong desire to devour it.

Upon sensing its intentions, Xu Fan felt reassured and no longer restrained the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon, allowing it to act on its own.

As a result, Qin Wudao’s energy was absorbed just as they had seen earlier.

Normally, the energy in a human body is stable and controllable.

But Qin Wudao chose self-destruction, causing his blood and True Qi to flow in reverse, which made his energy unstable and uncontrollable.

The Heavenly Fiend Great Demon naturally had the means to wrestle the energy away from Qin Wudao.
