Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 749 - 694 You Can’t Kill Him

The Ancient Xia Saint had fallen!

In such a short amount of time, an exceptionally strong Saint had perished just like this, his body crushed to powder high up in the Heavenly Dome, flesh and blood gone, bones turned to ash—nothing was left of him.

All that remained was the blood-light that had dyed the Heavenly Universe red.

Everyone was shocked. The Heavenly Eagle King was simply too powerful, managing to slay another Saint by his side while still locked in a duel with Great Bandit Wang Tian. Such might truly shook the heavens and the earth, with no one able to match even a fraction of it.

Below, as opposed to the enemy’s fervent cheers and soaring morale, those of Wind Sky City saw their spirits plummet. Even though the battle situation was clearly in their favor, it was no use.

Just as they had said at the beginning, the outcome of the victory was not determined by them but by the highest-level confrontation.

However, with one of their Saints slain, the life and death of Great Bandit Wang Tian hung in the balance; even if he were alive, it was feared his situation would be very difficult, filling people with concern about the state of affairs.

All they could do now was pray that Great Bandit Wang Tian could hold off the opponent for a while longer, waiting for the Combat Saint King to return. Then, the entire situation would be reversed.

For everyone deeply believed in the Combat Saint King’s unmatched invincibility.

"Ancient Xia!"

High above in the Heavenly Dome, Great Bandit Wang Tian let out a mournful roar, his eyes blood-red as he shed hot tears.

This Saint had been a loyal follower for many years. Though their relationship was one of superior and subordinate, after so many years, they were closer than brothers.

To witness him annihilated to dust before his very eyes caused him immense grief and ignited a fire of rage.

"Don’t be hasty, I am not dead yet."

A weak voice made its way into the ears of Great Bandit Wang Tian—it was astonishingly the voice of Ancient Xia Saint, who should have been dead.

A faint speck of starlight appeared before him, and Wang Tian hastily embedded it into his own brow. The overwhelming power of the Primordial Spirit surged forth, protecting it as he couldn’t help but exclaim in joy, "You’re not dead, you’re really lucky! Being blown apart in both Form and Spirit and yet still being able to survive."

The bitter voice of Ancient Xia Saint entered his Sea of Consciousness, "It wasn’t that I was blown apart, I chose to self-destruct."

Self-destruct?

This answer clearly took Great Bandit Wang Tian aback; he couldn’t have imagined that it was not the body of Ancient Xia Saint that had been blown apart by the Heavenly Eagle King.

"Why would you self-destruct?"

"The Heavenly Eagle King is really powerful, almost like an invincible Demon King. At that time, even if I hadn’t chosen to self-destruct, I would have been blown apart in both Form and Spirit, not even my Residual Spirit could have survived," sighed the Ancient Xia Saint as he revealed the truth.

At that time, the Heavenly Eagle King had already drawn near, his Heavenly Eagle Battle Spear sweeping across the sky with the power to shatter the Cangyu, Immortal Slaying and God Slaying. The Ancient Xia Saint’s defense absolutely could not hold; he had no choice but to self-destruct.

Because he had mastered a rare Secret Technique, he could preserve a wisp of Residual God even in self-destruction, but the cost was great.

Indeed, the cost was being reduced to just a wisp of the Residual God.

For countless cultivators, this was a price they were unwilling to pay, and without the right opportunities, they might never recover their original state for the rest of their lives.

But facing such a desperate situation, if he had not resorted to this method, he would have had no other choice. And the treasure of a Saint was exceedingly fearsome, its power many times greater during times of peril, even a Heroic Master approaching it would be severely injured.

This was the only method that killed two birds with one stone; he had no reason not to use it.

Therefore, such a situation had arisen.

"So that’s how it is." Great Bandit Wang Tian sighed softly. The cost seemed to be too great, but aside from this sacrifice, there really was no other way.

His gaze then fell upon the distance where Blood Clouds rolled in, dying vast swaths of the Heavenly Dome in a thick crimson.

In their midst stood a majestic figure—it was none other than the Heavenly Eagle King.

However, at this time, the Heavenly Eagle King appeared quite disheveled, his Battle Armor torn and tattered, his golden hair in disarray, and several deep wounds visible to the bone on his body. His face was pale, the corners of his mouth tinged with blood, and he lacked his previous grandeur and handsomeness.

Clearly, even someone as powerful as the Heavenly Eagle King had not escaped unscathed from the self-destruction of the Ancient Xia Saint.

Had it not been for his extremely keen senses, detecting the crisis instantly and executing the extraordinarily swift Heavenly Eagle Body Technique to sidestep in a flash, his fate would have been far worse, his injuries multiplied several-fold even if he remained undying.

Yet even so, his aura was still extremely fierce and intimidating, scarcely diminished, with his Demon Power becoming even more intense and terrifying. A dot of cinnabar at the center of his brow glowed a seductive red, and his golden eyes flickered with a sinister light as he coldly stared at Great Bandit Wang Tian.

"It seems you chose to self-destruct. How staunch, but you’ve also angered me."

The Heavenly Eagle King spoke coldly, rage billowing from his chest, as the Heavenly Eagle Battle Spear stood in midair, murderous intent filling the skies. With a swish, he charged toward Wang Tian, spear in hand.

Without resorting to much effort, his War Intent surged, shocking the heavens.

Boom—

The Heavenly Eagle King swung the Heavenly Eagle Battle Spear, its mighty luster bursting forth as if strings upon strings of the Star River were descending, embodying Immortal Slaying and God Slaying power as he launched a supremely powerful attack against Great Bandit Wang Tian.

Great Bandit Wang Tian dared not be careless and hastily vibrated the Holy Weapon Divine Stick in his hands. Resplendent colors burst forth, blocking in front of him as the two collided.

The Heavenly Dome burst open again, space tore massively, and the two engaged in an intense battle that drew the attention of many onlookers in the Stealing Heaven Plain.

Although Great Bandit Wang Tian was also powerful, a Super Expert of an Ancient Saint’s level, he did not seem to stand a chance against the attack of the Heavenly Eagle King. His entire figure was sent flying backward, a torrential rain of blood falling from him, drenching the Changkong (sky).

Swish—

The Heavenly Eagle King soared into the sky, closing the distance and relentlessly swinging the terrifying Heavenly Eagle Battle Spear. He released one deadly luster after another, booming as he pursued his foe.

Great Bandit Wang Tian desperately blocked, but he was no match for the Heavenly Eagle King. The Heavenly Eagle King was too powerful, not just a Holy Realm King, but also a Supreme Demon King with his Ancestor Bloodline revived to an Absolute Peak level. The roaring sound was deafening, like a surging sea, and even the void seemed unable to withstand the pressure and began to crumble.

The Heavenly Eagle Battle Spear cleaved through the air; with a strike that could be likened to an Ancient War God, a gigantic rift tore open in space, striking directly at Great Bandit Wang Tian.

Gurgle—

Great Bandit Wang Tian plummeted from the Heavenly Dome, crashing onto the city walls, covered in blood, a ghastly sight that stained the walls red.

In that moment, all was silent, including those engaged in battle—all had ceased.

For the battle at the highest level had ended, and Wind Sky City had fallen.

"Die!"

The Heavenly Eagle King’s eyes were cold as he launched the Heavenly Eagle Battle Spear with a whoosh, turning it into the most dazzling light that aimed to thoroughly impale Great Bandit Wang Tian.

"Sorry, but you can’t kill him!"

A voice abruptly rang out!
