Chapter 1249: God-Slaying Crossbow

“Ready the God-Slaying Crossbow!”

To the 5,000 Yuan Venerates of the 36 Great Cosmoses, these massive, boundlessly powerful warships weren’t just their means of transport. They were also the greatest weapon they had in their arsenal.

1,200 Yuan Venerates standing atop the decks of these warships simultaneously soared into the sky as they quickly activated their individual powers in the array formation before them.

After these 1,200 Yuan Venerates made their move, over 10,000 Heavenly Venerates also began unleashing their powers from their individual positions.

A boundless energy formed a giant wave as it was directed toward a golden divine array and energy was channeled toward a giant crossbow with a myriad of different inscriptions on its surface.

This crossbow was many meters long and was composed of the tempered divine cores of many stars. The structure of the gargantuan crossbow must have used several million cores of stars, as each core of a single star was only about the size of an infant’s palm.

This giant crossbow would definitely be the most prized treasure of any race or city if it belonged to any of the powers within the 36 Great Cosmoses!

Whoosh!

Distortions started appearing in the sky as the giant crossbow fired. Spatial fissures of varying lengths and sizes appeared before the golden array started to crumble the instant the shot was fired.

The God-Slaying Crossbow was one of the finest weapons Luo Yunyang had studied in the Taixu Sect. However, it was still the simplified version that the Human Race had constructed by doing their best. Even so, many martialists of the Human Race were still very confident about this weapon of theirs.

That weapon was deemed so powerful that even a Yuan Venerate like Yuan Zi would be hard-pressed to survive a battle with it.

When the God-Slaying Crossbow had first been created, many of the drafted martialists had been filled with confidence in battle. After all, there had never been such a massive, powerful weapon in the worlds they had come from. In fact, most of them had never even heard of such a powerful weapon.

Such an immensely powerful weapon was capable of killing anything!

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the God-Slaying Crossbow as they pinned their hopes on the weapon that was being activated.

The speed of the arrow of the giant crossbow was so fast that it took only a fraction of a second for it to close in on the Era Destroyer Palm.

As the arrow closed in on the Great Era Destroyer Palm, the Yuan Venerates in control of the God-Slaying Crossbow felt as though there was a channel between the crossbow and the Great Era Destroyer Palm.

A channel that only the shot fired from the God-Slaying Crossbow could break!

“You are trying to kill me with such a minuscule ray of light? How laughable!” An ear-piercing voice filled the sky. The forefinger interlocked with the thumb before pointing at the God-Slaying Crossbow.

It was a light, swift snap!

This finger point seemed way too ordinary compared to the power of the God-Slaying Crossbow. However, as ordinary as it was, it still collided with the oncoming shot fired by the God-Slaying Crossbow.

The God-Slaying Crossbow, which was the epitome of the efforts of the Human Race and was made out of the core of many different stars, began crumbling on impact with a simple point.

How could that be?

The energies exerted by the people of the Human Race halted as a feeling of fright and terror overcame them. After all, they were now unsure of whether they could deal with the impending catastrophe.

The prized possession they had crafted by using the strength of everyone present had been easily destroyed by the single point of a finger.

Could they still overcome the impending calamity? The Human Race in the 36 Great Cosmoses would be completely annihilated if they were unable to do so in the battle against the Great Era Destroyer.

“He is hurt!” Luo Yunyang said. He had a look of calm stability as he continued sitting on a throne made out of divine jade.

A single droplet of blood trickled down the forefinger as Luo Yunyang said that. Even though it was just a tiny droplet, it still felt as though the entire world was filled with dripping blood.

“Vile creature, you have angered me now!” A sharp voice resonated from the forefinger. Even though the single drop of blood was not much for the forefinger, it was its first time getting hurt after all the previous great calamities.

Furthermore, this injury had been caused by the very beings he’d thought were so insignificant initially.

“Divine Taiyin Net, get ready!” Luo Yunyang commanded without paying much attention to the curses of the forefinger.

He would still use all these methods even though they were known not to be very effective in dealing with the Great Era Destroyer.

The reason he would do that was not only because these methods had been prepared over many years, but also because every single effort to oppose the Great Era Destroyer counted for something.

Upon command, 2,400 Yuan Venerates activated the arrays they were holding in their hands and transferred their energies. None of them held back their effort, as this concerned the future of the entire Human Race.

Streaks of what seemed like fine silk began ascending from the warships. Each of these threads contained a Taiyin Law. The martialists of the Human Race had destroyed a significant number of the Divine Incarcerate Race Cosmoses just to craft this very Taiyin Net.

It seemed as though the sky froze as a giant net of light formed and enveloped the sky.

Still, the Great Era Destroyer Palm did not seem to show any fear. “This net might look strong, but it is actually defective,” the Great Era Destroyer Palm said mockingly.

“Many years ago, I had a friend who was able to use a net made from six strands of Taiyin Sky Laws to defeat all the martialists in this world. That was the true Divine Taiyin Net. The Divine Taiyin Net wielded by all of you is only the Divine Taiyin Net in name.”

Luo Yunyang knew that the words of the Great Era Destroyer Palm were true because the Divine Taiyin Net was indeed crafted from a total of six strands of Taiyin Sky Laws, as mentioned in the records in the Taixu Sect’s repository.

If he were really able to craft the authentic Divine Taiyin Net, then Luo Yunyang was confident that he would be able to defeat the Great Era Destroyer Palm in one fell swoop instead.

However, at this point in time, Luo Yunyang did not own even a single strand of that sky law, much less six of them. That was why he used the Taiyin Law instead as a substitute. Even so, a hundred of these Taiyin Laws were still not comparable to a single Taiyin Sky Law.

“Descend!” Luo Yunyang commanded once more without any intention to continue conversing with the Great Era Destroyer Palm.

“Comrade, we are all depending on you!” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, who was standing beside Luo Yunyang, said as the Taiyin Net began descending toward the Great Era Destroyer Palm.

The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had always addressed Luo Yunyang as the Human Ruler. Even though that form of address was respectful, it still created a distance between the two of them. At this critical juncture of the battle, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had actually addressed Luo Yunyang differently instead.

“It still isn’t time for you guys to enter. If I fall, you will all have to take over,” Luo Yunyang replied.

“I know you are not willing to let any of us take the risk, but if we waited until you got defeated, then our chances of counterattacking would be even slimmer.” The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor laughed.

“Over the course of all these years, I have been through many calamities. Since the people of the Human Race address me as Ancestor, then it is time for me to contribute for holding on to this title. Would any of you like to retreat?” he asked those behind him as he turned around.

“Retreating is not an option we shall choose! Human Ruler, since we have already made the necessary preparations, we shall choose death over failure!” A firm, resolute voice resonated.

As it spoke, a bloody mist began rising from the speaker and charging toward the sky. As soon as this mist took shape, more followed in succession. In no time, thousands of bloody streaks had risen.

Each of these bloody streaks was filled with murderous intent as they gathered in the sky to form a giant blood-red sword.

It was the Blood-Soul Slaying Sword!

This wasn’t a technique Luo Yunyang had discovered while he had been in the Taixu Sect. Instead, it had been created by the successive generations of the Human Race during the previous Great Era.

At the time, this law had been envisioned to be activated by over 1,000 ninth-grade Heavenly Venerates. Because of the increasing power of the Human Race, which was led by Luo Yunyang, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had decided to make use of Yuan Venerates to activate this attack.

If one attack could already completely annihilate an opponent, what could more than 1,000 such attacks do? While the user’s energy would suffer great damage, at least it wouldn’t cost them their life.

However, the user would likely be killed if the attack was dragged out over a longer time.

Luo Yunyang had always opposed the usage of this type of attack. However, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was absolutely bent on the idea of getting them to do this. Therefore, Luo Yunyang eventually had to relent by allowing this to happen at a critical juncture.

The Divine Taiyin Net covered the span of the sky as the Blood Sword tore through the sky and descended!

The Great Era Destroyer Palm did not seem very bothered even when it was bound by the Divine Taiyin Net. However, at the appearance of the blood sword, it literally went berserk.

“All of you are literally courting death. Did you think that a technique like this would actually work on me?” Multiple voices hollered, coming out of the five fingers simultaneously.

Following this holler, five veins of different colors that looked like five different sky laws appeared on the back of the five fingers.

“Insignificant ants! Why are you even resisting? In reality, everything you do is futile. This time, I will let you have a taste of the power of the combination of five different sky laws.”

Upon saying this, the Great Era Destroyer Palm faced Luo Yunyang and used a palm in the direction of the endless warships.

The sky warped the moment it did this.

Countless stars in the vast void started crumbling as many fissures formed in the 36 Great Cosmoses.
