One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 501: Chapter 418: Heavenly Punishment!

A battle of great magnitude, heart-stirring and soul-shaking.

Although it lasted less than the duration of a cup of tea, two Destruction Great Power Realm powerhouses had already met their demise in succession.

The few remaining were also quite disheveled, with the Daoist Heron sustaining the most severe injuries, with his Origin seriously damaged.

However…

The silver lining is that.

Emperor Wu is also reaching the stage of burning out.

...

His originally robust body, at this moment, resembles cracked porcelain, riddled with fissures.

From within, golden blood and dense Dragon Qi diffused outwards, spreading around, and in an instant, the entire battlefield was shrouded in an odd fragrance.

Algres suspended in mid-air, watched the battlefield from afar, with vigilance on his face.

He sensed something within this Dragon Qi that was greatly beneficial to him, to the extent that every cell in his body sent forth a yearning emotion.

But Algres did not act rashly.

He feared that there might be some form of trickery contained within, after all, the punch from Emperor Wu that spanned the sky left a lasting impression on him.

Even if Algres regards these humans as an inferior race.

Yet through this battle.

He had to admit, Emperor Wu was an extremely terrifying opponent.

Even set in the grand battle thousands of years ago between the Demon Descendants and Descenders, he would definitely count as a figurehead character.

Such a hero.

Even in death, would not fade into obscurity.

Thus, Algres did not let down his guard, instead, he tensed every Muscle in his body.

Preparing to turn tail and run should the situation turn sour.

Swoosh, Swoosh!

In the smoke-filled battlefield.

With the collapse of large buildings, the ground trembled.

The Silver Demon Bird, the Immortal Corpse King, the Black Wind King, and others also charged from various secluded corners of the battlefield.

Clearly, these Destruction Power wielders harbored similar thoughts as Algres. They approached cautiously, even though the blood qi from Emperor Wu was highly beneficial to them, they did not dare to move closer rashly at this time.

The closest to Emperor Wu was the Daoist Heron, who was also the most severely injured among all the remaining Destruction Power bearers.

Upon seeing Algres, his facial expression turned somewhat ugly.

He had just failed in a sneak attack.

This time, it seemed he had offended the other party to death, and behind him was Ji Huaxi and a multitude of other Imperial powerhouses watching intently.

His current situation was extremely perilous, if he didn’t fight, considering the way to break the situation, highly likely it would be the road to death.

The Daoist Heron’s body was covered in bloodstains, a large amount of his hair had fallen out, revealing the blood-red flesh beneath. When he had descended upon the Imperial Royal City, how rampant he was, wings spread wide, was an enormous presence that blotted out the sky and sun. And now, the Daoist Heron did not dare to reveal his true form, his face showing panic, afraid of being held to account.

"Father!”

A long howl came from behind the Daoist Heron.

Ji Huaxi, with her long hair fluttering and eyes reddened, now came with a large convoy of the Imperial Army.

In an instant, murderous intent filled the air, pervading everywhere; the space around where the Daoist Heron was located was sealed by a myriad of runes, with Ji Huaxi and the Imperial Army Commander acting at the same time. Meanwhile, the Third Prince’s huge body approached step by step with his Scepter, and from afar, billows of smoke rose, with over ten Heavenly Kings and the Family Heads of the Golden Family emerging.

These people had their own different schemes on normal days.

But right now, what the Daoist Heron and the other Destruction Power wielders did was akin to flipping the table.

Under the threat of life and death, a single step back would mean a deep Abyss; they now had to fight to the death and press forward.

"Damn it!” Daoist Heron cursed angrily, trembling all over, feeling the overwhelming murderous intent coming from all directions, like a landslide, as if a tsunami.

He cast a pleading glance at the Silver Demon Bird and others.

The Silver Demon Bird usually glowed with brilliance, always carrying a soft smile on his face, but now those blood-red pupils were filled with cold indifference.

These people were essentially using each other, and it was difficult to speak of trust. Moreover, the fact that Daoist Heron had betrayed his own brother had been noticed by them.

Decades of brotherly ties, discarded in an instant.

Even if these Destruction Powers didn’t possess the moral concepts of humans, they still felt chilled at this moment.

After all, now that Emperor Wu is on the brink of death, there would be no more formidable foes left in this world. Daoist Heron originally had the strongest strength, if he truly falls here, there would be one less person to share the spoils with, which could actually be a good thing.

"Good, good, good!”

Daoist Heron gritted his teeth, by now he had also realized what these people were thinking.

"Is this also within your calculations?” the Daoist Heron’s eyes flashed with blood, his body bedraggled, he glared fiercely at the seriously wounded and dying Emperor Wu in front of him.

Emperor Wu was now in a state as if hanging by a thread.

Like a candle flame in the wind.

Barely clinging to his last breath, he could perish completely at any time.

Even his body was visibly withering away, as tufts of hair fell, and his eyes drooped down.

At this moment, he probably couldn’t hear any sounds from the outside world, but still, with his last bit of strength, he struggled to lift his head, showing a scornful smile towards the Daoist Heron.

"What are you? Do you also deserve to be accounted for in my calculations?” It seemed as though Daoist Heron could hear what Emperor Wu wanted to say.

"Good!”

Daoist Heron’s face twisted with ferocity, “I want to see now, already in this state, what can you still do?”

Swoosh!

He turned his hand into a blade and chopped straight down.

Without any surprise, Emperor Wu’s head was cleanly severed, falling to the ground.

It seemed like the entire world quieted for an instant, even the Silver Demon Bird and other Destruction Powers widened their eyes at this moment.

They hadn’t expected this peerless mighty figure who had cast countless shadows over them to die so easily.

"Indeed, you were trying to deceive me!” Daoist Crane exulted, his eyes filled with bloodshot, “Since you do not wish to aid me, then let me alone enjoy this grand gift!”

Boom!

He ignored the numerous Divine Powers attacking him from behind.

Daoist Crane’s head rapidly swelled and grew larger, sprouting a sharp beak and large swaths of black feathers.

In the blink of an eye, a gaping maw, ten meters wide with razor-sharp teeth, stretched open and snapped shut.

Crack!

A crisp sound.

Emperor Wu’s remaining body was swallowed whole by Daoist Crane.

"This feeling Daoist Crane spread his arms wide, head tilted upward, his aura instantly surging, as a heaven-reaching, earth-penetrating aureate radiance burst forth from his body. The ground around him, as if unable to bear the strain, shook violently. The multitude of buildings which had collapsed from the aftershocks of the battle were now pulled by an invisible force, suspended mid-air, orbiting Daoist Crane like stars encircling the moon.

His injuries had been extremely severe, his resilience ground away, each and every one of his feathers dropped.

But now, Daoist Crane was visibly recovering to his peak.

New feathers grew swiftly, his stature also inching taller, casting shadows in the blazing light.

The Silver Demon Bird and others squinted subconsciously, as at this moment, the aura radiating from Daoist Crane was hot like a mini-sun, so bright that it was unbearable to look directly at.

At the same time.

Their hearts were trembling incessantly.

Regretting their hesitation, all the benefits were now being gobbled up by Daoist Crane alone.

Even Algres was somewhat taken aback; such a turn of events was clearly beyond his expectations.

"Monstrous beast, die!” The Third Prince was thinking of taking advantage of Daoist Crane’s serious injuries to claim a head, which would serve to establish his dominance when he ascended the throne.

But unexpectedly, such a twist occurred midway.

Daoist Crane’s aura soared.

At this point, it’s not about avenging his father anymore; he feared that even he himself would be drawn into the fray.

But there was no choice.

He had rushed too quickly, having already reached Daoist Crane’s side.

Turning tail and running would be even more dangerous; he could only grit his teeth and continue the assault.

The result was as expected.

As the Imperial Crown Prince, the Third Prince was not weak.

Even though he had not yet reached the Realm Lord Realm, his abundant foundation and bloodline potential allowed him to briefly contend with those in the Destruction Great Power Realm. However, Daoist Crane’s strength, even among those in the Destruction Great Power Realm, was outstanding. Plus, after consuming Emperor Wu’s Martial Bone Essence Blood, his strength had increased once more.

Now at his peak, the gap between them widened even further.

"Ignorant youth, daring to bark at me!” A cold light shone on Daoist Crane’s face, he slapped down with his palm.

Bang!

A huge explosion occurred there.

Various Daoist charms soared into the sky, and the colossal figure of the Third Prince was heavily smashed away.

Immediately after, Daoist Crane pointed forward, and a swath of runes emerged in the void, transforming into murky waves carrying destructive force, raining down on the Third Prince.

The Third Prince’s face showed panic, reflexively raising his hand to block.

"Open!”

With a clear shout.

Ji Huaxi descended from the sky, a pair of fiery wings unfurling in front of her.

Two forces intertwined like tidal waves, colliding with a thunderous noise, and annihilating each other.

Hiss!

Even with the long spear driven into the ground to stabilize her stance,

Ji Huaxi was still pushed back over ten meters by an immense force.

She felt a dull pain in her chest, her organs trembling, and upon gently wiping her mouth with her hand, she discovered traces of bright red blood seeping out.

Ji Huaxi’s heart was suddenly alarmed.

Compared to when they had fought before, Daoist Crane’s strength had undeniably increased a lot.

"Hahaha!” Seeing Ji Huaxi injured, Daoist Crane burst into laughter, his feet treading on mystical light, his long feathers clanking, his face full of a deranged and murderous look, “Is this the power once held by Emperor Wu? To use his power to destroy everything he once wanted to protect, indeed it’s immensely pleasing!”

He did not speak further.

With his fingers together like a sword, he raised his hand and thrust out a Sword Qi.

Ji Huaxi’s expression instantly turned stern as she prepared to block, but she abruptly found that Daoist Crane had stopped.

His face first showed confusion, then gradually turned to terror, his veins bulging on his neck, creeping onto his face, then branching outward. Daoist Crane’s entire countenance was unnaturally twisting and contorting, indescribably ghastly. He opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something, but the voice that came out was someone else’s.

The voice was laden with weariness but still carried dignity, and to Ji Huaxi and the others, it was very familiar, in that instant making them stunned in place.

"But you must heed my words.”

Emperor Wu’s voice came from Daoist Crane’s mouth, he paused for a bit before continuing, “Heaven’s punishment!”
