Da Xuan Martial Saint Chapter 1513 - 727: Black Lotus Treasure
Previously on Da Xuan Martial Saint...
Summit.
Three factions faced off against one another.
Meanwhile, numerous Dao Venerables closely monitored the enigmatic artifact forming deep within the mountain's heart, yearning for its swift completion to avoid additional turmoil.
As though answering their collective desires, the mountain's core, forged by Primordial Power and endlessly drawing in the Power of Dao, burst forth with brilliant radiance that converged inward.
At last,
Under the watchful eyes of all, this overwhelming Power of Dao coalesced into a singular crystal boasting twelve flawless, symmetrical facets, each one indistinguishable from the rest. Upon nearer examination, a subtle sense of Void force emanated from it, seemingly cradling an entire universe, a realm unto itself!
"It’s done!"
"Move!"
The very second the enigmatic artifact solidified, the eyes of the nearby Dao Venerables gleamed with fervor, and they sprang into action without delay.
Some charged ahead, aiming directly for the deep shaft descending to the mountain's core, while others unleashed savage assaults on fellow Dao Venerables close by to block their path.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
In the midst of these devastating collisions of Dao forces, several beams of light shot out from the turbulent fray, hurtling toward the deep well at the summit's foundation.
Among those figures were Wutian Venerable, Chen Mu, and two Venerables from the rival factions. These six broke through the melee, united in their pursuit: the enigmatic artifact resting at the summit's depths.
The brief clash carried little weight, since the three factions' powers remained evenly matched. The one to claim the enigmatic artifact first and rally their allies would gain a firm upper hand, rendering it nearly impossible for the other two to wrest it back even in alliance.
In this instant,
Wutian Venerable and Chen Mu streaked forward like twin rays of light, nearly neck and neck, though they trailed just a bit behind the four Venerables from the opposing sides.
As they plunged into the deep well, no one clashed among them, because the instant they entered the tunnel to the mountain's interior, a ferocious wave of Primordial Power surged out, immense and unstoppable.
This force, harnessed to refine the enigmatic artifact, brimmed with tremendous potency. Even Dao Venerables approached it warily, and right then, all six channeled their personal methods to withstand the onslaught forcefully.
Buzz!!!
Within the profound, shadowy recesses of the well, six shadowy auras took the full brunt of the fierce Primordial Power rising from below, pushing onward with steady, grueling effort.
In mere moments, they neared the well's base, where the fully shaped enigmatic artifact of the Void Lineage rested precisely at the mountain's center!
At that point,
Chen Mu and Wutian Venerable still lagged a touch behind.
Yet neither displayed any worry over the lag. As they drew nearer to the enigmatic artifact, a spark of insight flickered in Wutian Venerable’s gaze.
"Chen Venerate, assist me!"
"Alright."
When Wutian Venerable’s mental transmission reached him, Chen Mu consented without pause. The enigmatic artifact held little appeal for him personally, but as a Dao Venerable of the Void Lineage, he avoided meddling in outsiders' quarrels. Since Wutian Venerable planned to vie for it aggressively and sought his backing, he saw no reason to refuse.
Without a second's delay, Chen Mu thrust his hand outward, unleashing a Void technique that bore down heavily.
Boom!!!
A massive surge of Void Dao power crashed down suddenly.
This formidable Void Dao power instantly caught the notice of the other four Dao Venerables, yet the Void Dao proved elusive and profound, with Chen Mu’s method executed to masterful depths. In a flash, he ripped apart the encircling void by force.
Whoosh.
By the time the other four Dao Venerables could respond, they witnessed Wutian Venerable—who had been trailing—now propelled past them thanks to Chen Mu’s help, shattering the Primordial Power barrier outright and arriving at the completed enigmatic artifact!
"Wutian!"
"Don’t even think about it!"
Fury ignited in the four Dao Venerables, who then poured forth their utmost strength in unison. These four from the Creation Lineage unleashed everything; for an instant, it felt like the full might of Creation Dao was bearing down here. The expansive Creation power threaded through the void, manifesting a hazy outline of the Creation River.
The four immense streams of Creation Dao power fused into varied techniques, slamming toward Wutian Venerable from overhead in a bid to stop him from claiming the enigmatic artifact.
But bolstered by Chen Mu’s support and his prior preparations, Wutian Venerable met the assault with mocking chuckles. He simply extended his hand, seizing the enigmatic artifact of the Void Lineage directly.
Boom!!
The enigmatic artifact flared with potent Void power, striving to hurl Wutian Venerable away. However, his eyes narrowed coldly as he let out a sharp huff, and a brilliant shaft of Dao light erupted from his palm, clamping the artifact firmly in place.
Still, the enigmatic artifact quaked fiercely, desperate to escape his hold.
At the same time,
The combined strike from the four Dao Venerables struck!
"Good timing!"
Wutian Venerable regarded the incoming attack calmly. A shadow of dark radiance crossed his eyes as he abruptly lifted his right hand, summoning a arcane black Lotus Platform into his palm.
