Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Sacrificing the Primordial Emperor Dao Sword, Severing Ji Xuan’s Arm, Reaping All Opportunities, Attaining Perfection
From the moment Ji Xuan saw Jun Xiaoyao suppress the Venerable Demon Corpse with the Sacred Body Phenomenon, he sensed something amiss.
And now, seeing the demon corpse completely annihilated by Jun Xiaoyao, his face turned as pale as paper.
It was as if he was thrust into an icy pond in the dead of winter, his whole body trembling.
He had always planned to seize the wooden box and then immediately escape using the Great Shifting Talisman.
But Jun Wanjie clung to him persistently, leaving him no room to maneuver.
"Ji Xuan, didn’t you say that if the Young Master could defeat the Venerable Demon Corpse, you’d do a handstand and urinate? Come on, I’m watching." Jun Wanjie mocked with a cold laugh.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan’s face turned green, utterly embarrassed, feeling a scorching pain on his cheeks.
"Damn it, I must get that wooden box!" Ji Xuan gritted his teeth secretly, malice flashing across his face.
The methods displayed by Jun Xiaoyao were already driving his Dao Heart to the brink of collapse.
Who else could manage to defeat a Venerable Demon Corpse?
Though various factors contributed to it.
Yet the result was undeniable.
If he could obtain the contents of the wooden box, Ji Xuan might have hope to fight Jun Xiaoyao in the future.
But if he couldn’t, Ji Xuan would live forever in Jun Xiaoyao’s shadow.
Thinking of this, Ji Xuan’s expression turned ruthless, directly employing a forbidden skill of the Ji Family.
In an instant, his blood burst out all over his body, his vitality burning, his realm soaring step by step, eventually reaching the Unity Realm Great Perfection.
"Get out of my way!"
Ji Xuan’s aura surged abruptly, and with his right arm, which had merged with the Saint King’s hand bone, he punched at Jun Wanjie.
Even Jun Wanjie, caught off guard, was directly repelled.
And it was only then that Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang realized what had happened and attempted to rush over, but it was already too late.
Taking the opportunity, Ji Xuan directly grabbed the wooden box with one hand.
"Haha, the greatest opportunity within this Venerable Secret Treasure is mine. Jun Xiaoyao, next time we meet, be prepared to be amazed."
With a loud laugh, Ji Xuan was about to activate the Great Shifting Talisman to escape.
At this moment, however, Jun Xiaoyao’s expression carried a faint trace of mockery.
"To give you the piercing despair when you are most hopeful, that feeling must be wonderful, right?" Jun Xiaoyao curled his lips into a cold smile.
He directly mobilized the Primordial Emperor Dao Sword from his divine palace at the center of his brows.
A dazzling divine radiance shot out from his brow, permeated with the rule of Dao.
Within the divine radiance, a brilliant Order Divine Chain flew out, transforming into a golden short sword about an inch long, charging straight towards Ji Xuan.
It was the Primordial Emperor Dao Sword!
The Primordial Emperor Dao Sword was one of the Five Great Divine Techniques, as renowned as the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique.
Although the power unleashed by Jun Xiaoyao now could not match the terrifying might of the Primordial Heaven Venerable, it was still not to be underestimated.
The short sword streaked out, Dao principles permeating, seemingly slicing through the surrounding void, producing a piercing whistle.
This was too sudden; no one expected it.
Neither did Ji Xuan.
And the speed of the Primordial Emperor Dao Sword was too fast.
Ji Xuan didn’t even have time to deploy any protective item.
Pffft!
In just an instant, Ji Xuan felt an excruciating tearing pain.
He was astounded to see his right arm flying off.
"No!" Ji Xuan bellowed, eyes wide with rage!
Behind Jun Xiaoyao, Demon Wings unfurled, his form flickering. With a single sweep of his hand, he seized the Saint King’s arm, along with the wooden box and ancient talisman, all in one go.
All these happenings transpired within mere moments.
No one anticipated that Jun Xiaoyao still harbored such a move!
Outside.
This scene was also reflected by the Celestial Observation Mirror, displayed before everyone’s eyes.
"Could it be, one of the Five Great Divine Techniques, the Primordial Emperor Dao Sword?"
"How could this be, isn’t this the ultimate skill of the Primordial Heaven Venerable, rumored to be lost for ages!"
"Could be that the Jun Family’s Divine Son acquired this opportunity inside the secret treasure?"
"Wow, that Little Saint of the Ji Family actually had his Saint King arm severed!"
Many cultivators exclaimed in shock.
Previously, due to the obscuring mist, they did not witness the earlier battle between Jun Xiaoyao and Ji Xuan.
But now, Jun Xiaoyao, with just the Primordial Emperor Dao Sword, severed Ji Xuan’s greatest reliance, the Saint King’s arm, in one move.
Incredibly fierce!
"Damn it, what does the Jun Family’s Divine Son want?"
At the horizon of the void, Ji Bangyin’s expression changed drastically.
He had just been saying that Ji Xuan was prepared and steady inside this secret treasure.
He was smugly telling Jun Zhantian that it was Jun Xiaoyao he should be worried about.
Now, however, his family’s celestial pride had lost an arm, arousing boundless wrath in Ji Bangyin, unable to remain calm.
"Humph, rest assured, my grandson is not some kind of devil; he won’t take Ji Xuan’s life." Jun Zhantian snorted.
But just as he finished speaking.
From the Celestial Observation Mirror, it was seen that Jun Xiaoyao once again activated the Primordial Emperor Dao Sword, aiming for Ji Xuan’s head.
It was clear he wanted Ji Xuan’s life.
"Ah...this..." Jun Zhantian looked heavenward, speechless, acting as if he saw nothing.
Ji Xuan hurriedly activated the Great Shifting Talisman, causing the surrounding void to ripple, and his figure vanished instantly.
Inside the secret treasure, watching the vanishing Ji Xuan, Jun Xiaoyao shook his head indifferently.
In fact, whether Ji Xuan lived or died no longer mattered to him.
After all, Ji Xuan’s Dao Heart had completely collapsed, unable to pose any threat to him in the future.
Moreover, the most important items were already in his possession.
The Saint King’s hand bone, the wooden box, the ancient talisman.
Particularly that wooden box, which piqued Jun Xiaoyao’s interest greatly.
"What exactly is this significant opportunity that Ji Xuan longed for?" Jun Xiaoyao examined the wooden box.
Yet he didn’t open it directly.
Because Jun Xiaoyao knew that the scene inside the secret treasure had probably already been fully revealed by the Celestial Observation Mirror.
The principle of not flaunting wealth was something Jun Xiaoyao naturally understood.
Although his status meant most dare not plot against him.
It’s unavoidable that other immortal influences might take notice.
If this opportunity was too tempting, it might attract many unsavory characters.
Jun Xiaoyao simply stored all these items into his spatial spiritual artifact.
Jiang Shengyi had no objections whatsoever.
One could say, being able to suppress the Venerable Demon Corpse was almost all due to Jun Xiaoyao’s efforts; she merely assisted on the side.
Therefore, the opportunity naturally belongs to Jun Xiaoyao.
As for Jun Xuehuang and the other three sequences, they definitely had no other thoughts.
"Everyone, let’s leave. This journey into the secret treasure has concluded perfectly." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly, in a rather pleasant mood.
Four Ancient Dragon Bones, one Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone, a wooden box, the Saint King’s hand bone, not to mention obtaining a mount.
More than perfect, it was supremely perfect.
Jun Xiaoyao and his companions left the depths of the secret treasure, then regrouped with Jun Linglong and the Nine-headed Lion.
Other celestial prides and cultivators from various other influences also started to withdraw one by one.
Yet, just as Jun Xiaoyao and the others were about to step out of the Venerable Secret Treasure, two mighty auras rose almost simultaneously.
One from Ji Family’s Ji Bangyin.
Another from the Azure Dragon Lineage Elder of the Ancestral Dragon Nest.
"Seems like there’s a bit of a small problem."
With hands clasped behind his back, Jun Xiaoyao wore a slight, fleeting smile, speaking with ease and calmness.
