In the next moment, the ten-thousand-zhang Wu Xingtian’s body expanded tenfold, each slight movement causing the earth to shake.
He stood with his head touching the sky and his feet on the ground. The breath he exhaled turned into a gale, his eyes shone like the sun and moon, and his axe was capable of splitting the heavens and cleaving the earth.
Unparalleled axe light flashed from the High-grade Spirit Treasure, the Heaven-Splitting Axe!
"CHOP!!!"
Wu Xingtian took a step forward and swept down his axe towards the Golden Crow King Di Xin. The axe blade, as if cleaving heaven and earth, crashed down, obliterating everything in its path.
Facing this fatal blow, a hint of madness flashed in the eyes of the Golden Crow King Di Xin as he swung the High-grade Spirit Treasure, the East Emperor Sword, in his hand!
"Golden Crow Slaying Immortal Nine Severance Strike!"
This battle technique, created by the former ruler of the Golden Crow clan, the East Emperor Tai Yi, used the body of a Golden Crow to rouse the heavens and earth, merging the power of nine into a single strike.
Nine strikes unified were enough to instantly increase his strength ninefold.
However, before Wu Xingtian, this was merely futile effort.
...
"AH!!!"
Under the High-grade Spirit Treasure, the Heaven-Splitting Axe, the Golden Crow King Di Xin’s counterattack was ultimately in vain. He was instantly suppressed.
With a piercing scream, his body was cleaved in half by the High-grade Spirit Treasure, the Heaven-Splitting Axe!
The death of the Golden Crow King Di Xin at the hands of Wu Xingtian was a shocking outcome that no one had anticipated.
Even Wu Tao, one of their own, had never imagined that the Golden Crow King Di Xin would be so vulnerable, unable to withstand even a single blow before being slain!
Everyone was stunned by the demise of the Golden Crow King Di Xin, but they failed to notice a powerful force coalescing from his corpse.
This power began to consciously gather the scattered blood and flesh!
A profound silence fell upon the surroundings.
The moment the Golden Crow King Di Xin fell, the entire battlefield was plunged into a deathly stillness.
It was too unexpected, the Golden Crow King Di Xin’s death was so simple that it was difficult for anyone to accept.
The fall of the Golden Crow King Di Xin instilled fear in Yu Xiya, Yu Sheng’er, and Yu Xueli.
Now that even the Golden Crow King Di Xin had fallen, would Wu Xingtian, who had freed himself, let the three of them go?
They were not foolish enough to believe that Wu Xingtian would show them mercy and spare them.
There is a saying: "There are no grudges that last overnight."
This saying doesn't mean that grudges never end, but rather that one should settle their animosities immediately, without waiting for tomorrow!
The hatred between races was far more irreconcilable than the animosity between two individuals, for it was etched into their bones and could be passed down through generations.
With the demise of the Golden Crow King Di Xin, there was no one left in the Golden Crow clan to lead the charge.
These Golden Crows, thrown into disarray and leaderless, would be fortunate to even protect themselves.
...
Placing their hope of survival on them would be akin to courting their own destruction. Yu Xiya, Yu Sheng’er, and Yu Xueli were not that foolish.
After killing the Golden Crow King Di Xin with a single blow, Wu Xingtian let out a long roar to the heavens and then shouted, "Golden Crow King Di Xin is dead. You little chicks of the Golden Crow clan, are you still not surrendering?"
At this moment, Wu Xingtian’s goal was no longer just to repel the invaders.
He intended to annihilate the Golden Crow clan and the Celestial clan today, as the Golden Crow King Di Xin had fallen.
He did not take Yu Xiya, Yu Sheng’er, and Yu Xueli seriously.
For, even if Yu Xiya, Yu Sheng’er, and Yu Xueli wanted to fight to the death now, they had already lost the means to do so.
Just as Wu Xingtian was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura surge towards him.
Wu Xingtian frowned, but this was a battlefield. Who else could pose a threat to him besides these four individuals…
Could it be that the Golden Crow King Di Xin was not dead yet?
With a thought, Wu Xingtian quickly retracted the High-grade Spirit Treasure, the Gǒng gē shield, and placed it behind him!
At the very moment Wu Xingtian retrieved the High-grade Spirit Treasure, the Gǒng gē shield, a furious roar came from behind him almost simultaneously: "Wu Xingtian, die!"
Following this roar, a ball of intensely burning Tai Yi Immortal Fire violently collided towards Wu Xingtian!
Wu Xingtian turned his head and saw that the Golden Crow King Di Xin, whom he had just cleaved in two, was now alive and kicking, having resurrected.
Facing the incoming Tai Yi Immortal Fire, Wu Xingtian wielded the High-grade Spirit Treasure, the Gǒng gē shield, and effortlessly dispersed the Tai Yi Immortal Fire.
Although Tai Yi Immortal Fire burned everything, it was nothing before Wu Xingtian.
After scattering the ball of Tai Yi Immortal Fire with a single shield strike, Wu Xingtian looked at the resurrected Golden Crow King Di Xin with a face full of surprise.
He said in a deep voice, "Reborn from ashes, Di Xin, I truly didn't expect you to possess such an ability."
The Golden Crow King Di Xin laughed heartily and replied, "Do you think you can comprehend the foundation of my Golden Crow clan? You wish to kill me? You'll have to wait for your next life."
Hearing the Golden Crow King Di Xin's words, Wu Xingtian sneered dismissively, "You’re making a mountain out of a molehill."
Ever since the Giant clan had relocated their entire tribe to Yun Province, numerous great battles had ensued with the Golden Crow clan.
Although Wu Xingtian didn't know why the Golden Crow King Di Xin could revive, he knew that such a revival must have its limitations, and certainly not be infinite.
Such a divine ability of resurrection was naturally peerless in the world!
However, if such a revival were truly without any limitations, then so many Golden Crow Kings wouldn't have fallen to Hou Yi's arrows in the past.
He could kill him once, he could kill him twice, and he could kill him thrice. He refused to believe that the Golden Crow King Di Xin could revive three times!
With this thought, Wu Xingtian unleashed his powerful offensive against the Golden Crow King Di Xin once more.
The Golden Crow King Di Xin was also an intelligent individual. Upon seeing Wu Xingtian's actions, he immediately retreated, putting a significant distance between himself and Wu Xingtian.
Wu Xingtian had not guessed wrong. His resurrection divine ability indeed had its limitations.
He was able to revive because he had exhausted all the energy from a Sun Star Core.
The Sun Star Core was a treasured heirloom of the Golden Crow clan. After years of depletion, only one remained by his generation. This meant he had no chance for a second resurrection.
The recently resurrected self was extremely weak and completely incapable of dealing with Wu Xingtian.
Fortunately, Yu Xiya, Yu Sheng’er, and Yu Xueli noticed something amiss and quickly moved to block in front of the Golden Crow King Di Xin.
However, although Yu Xiya, Yu Sheng’er, and Yu Xueli reacted with extreme speed, they forgot about one person: Wu Tao.
Wu Tao, who had been patiently waiting for the opportune moment all along!
From the moment the Golden Crow King Di Xin fell, Wu Tao had deliberately concealed his sharpness.
He was like a venomous snake hidden in a dark corner, waiting for an overconfident prey.
While he hadn't known that the Golden Crow King Di Xin would pull off such a feat, being cleaved in half by an axe and then reviving, so extravagantly…
He knew that if he waited patiently, he could definitely seize the opportunity amidst the chaos to ambush one of the three Heavenly Kings.
The recently resurrected and weakened Golden Crow King Di Xin was a far more suitable target for an ambush than Yu Xiya, Yu Sheng’er, and Yu Xueli.
...
Was ambushing despicable?
Perhaps.
But for someone like Wu Tao, destined to break an old order and become an Immortal Emperor, words like despicable, shameless, insidious, and vile held no meaning.
Those who become Immortal Emperors are never heroes!
The title of Emperor of Ten Thousand Immortals was destined to be earned by those whose hands were stained with blood.
The bow was drawn taut, a transparent arrow pulled straight. The entire sequence of movements was as fluid as flowing clouds, so fast that it even surpassed the passage of time!
This time, Wu Tao had even squeezed out all the spiritual energy from his dantian, all for the sake of this earth-shattering strike that could kill enemies of a higher level.
As the bowstring was released, in that instant, a terrifying fluctuation of power appeared between heaven and earth.
The Arrow of Time, carrying the immutable power of the passage of years, sped directly towards the Golden Crow King Di Xin.
At this moment, the Golden Crow King Di Xin seemed to sense a terrifying danger. His hair stood on end, and he was about to do something…
However, just as he sensed it, the arrow, based on the power of time and infused with all the spiritual energy in Wu Tao’s body, pierced his forehead and passed through his brain!
The Golden Crow King Di Xin, worthy of being a top-tier expert who mastered the power of laws, did not die even after suffering such a fatal blow.
However, the intense pain caused him to let out a heaven-shattering scream!
Meanwhile, Ye Yu, who had received Wu Tao’s instructions earlier, now ordered the thirty-nine flying warships, which had been wreaking havoc on the battlefield, to open fire on the repeatedly battered Golden Crow King Di Xin.
The rows of black cannons on the thirty-nine flying warships all aimed at the heavily injured Golden Crow King Di Xin.
One after another, incredibly powerful cannonballs were fired densely towards the Golden Crow King Di Xin, with thousands of them launched.
Amidst the roar of artillery fire and the dazzling light of the concentrated bombardment, the Golden Crow King Di Xin could no longer hold on and perished completely.
With the fall of the Golden Crow King Di Xin, the tide of battle completely shifted, and the Giant clan gained a decisive advantage.
The morale of the Golden Crow clan plummeted to its lowest point, with many Golden Crows abandoning the battlefield, disregarding their alliance with the Celestial clan.
Seeing this, the Celestials, led by Yu Xiya, Yu Sheng’er, and Yu Xueli, felt their scalps tingle and many cursed aloud.
Was this how you betray your teammates?
And did you think you could escape? If this war is lost, even if you flee, you will eventually be dealt with by the Giant clan.
It would be better to stay and take a gamble.
