Yuan's Ascension-Chapter 1000: The Army Descends! Ming Jians Strongest Eruption!! (1)

Chapter 1000: The Army Descends! Ming Jian's Strongest Eruption!! (1)

To achieve ninth-stage Sovereign combat power without relying on a Xiantian artifact, one would need either:

Dao comprehension at the seventh or eighth-level Dao Field stage, combined with an Apotheosis immortal root.

Or, Dao comprehension at the ninth-level Dao Field stage, along with a first-degree immortal root.

Those who could unleash such power with their own strength were all super powerhouses among Sovereigns, with resounding reputations.

And from the ninth-stage Sovereign level to the Overlord level, the gap in power was more than tenfold, even harder to overcome.

My Dao comprehension level is still too low. I’m relying on dual Apotheosis and the Samsara Sword’s Dao resonance to unleash my current power. Wu Yuan thought to himself, quite composed. Plus, my lifebound flying swords are a notch above most Sovereigns.

Yet this was still not his full strength. He had not deployed his other Xiantian artifact, the Origin Realm Pearl. Once used, it would greatly boost the power of his sword domain and sword techniques. Though still not equal to an Overlord, he would come very close.

This was the source of his confidence behind attacking the Greenridge Continent and the reason he dared to act with such blatant arrogance.

Wu Yuan believed that his qi refiner self was truly invincible within the Greenridge Macrocosm.

Once I erupt with my full power, I can indeed swiftly breach the Greenridge Continent’s defenses. Wu Yuan mused silently. But once I reveal such strength, Overlord Gu Nian would likely not dispatch Immortal Court powerhouses to the Greenridge Macrocosm, no matter how enraged and offended he gets.

For Wu Yuan, dealing with the Greenridge Immortal World was merely something to take care of along the way. His primary target had always been the Immortal Court and Sovereign Shi Qing.

However, Sovereign Shi Qing's true self was hiding in the Voltari Temple’s stronghold. Directly assault the Voltari Temple headquarters? That would mean true war.

Wu Yuan was not afraid. But he did not wish to cause too much trouble for the Taiyuan Divine Court. Killing an Immortal Court Sovereign's true self without reason could very likely spark a war between Saintdoms.

One had to understand that up until now, whether it was killing Sovereign Shi Qing or destroying Overlord Gu Nian's mana body, it could all still be attributed to 'conflicts between powerhouses' or 'disputes over treasures'. The Immortal Court had not suffered any real losses.

As far as Wu Yuan knew, Overlords like Xin Ya and Shan Jin had all fought and killed Overlords from the Eldritch Court and Immortal Court for their own personal reasons, forming great enmities. It was all too normal for super powerhouses to slaughter each other.

The eternal Saints that stood behind the various Saintdoms rarely cared about the struggles and deaths of sempiternal lives.

Apart from the Eldritch Court and Immortal Court, other Saintdoms would not easily start a war between Saintdoms.

However, if Wu Yuan's qi refiner self invaded the Voltari Temple for no reason and killed Sovereign Shi Qing's true self, the consequences would be even more severe than the fall of Overlord Gu Nian's mana body.

It was for this reason that Wu Yuan had been constantly, frantically provoking them. But provocation was one thing, taking substantive action was another.

Right now, I'm at a stalemate with the six Sovereigns of the Greenridge Immortal World. A steely glint appeared in Wu Yuan's eyes. If Overlord Gu Nian truly thirsts for my blood, he'll dispatch two or three late-stage Sovereign legions. With the speed of Sovereigns of Space, they could reach the Greenridge Macrocosm within half a day.

When the armies surround me, I can then assault the Voltari Temple. That shouldn't be a big problem, at most limiting it to a personal grudge between myself and the Immortal Court, without escalating to conflict between the two Saintdoms.

A personal grudge between his qi refiner self and the Immortal Court? Wu Yuan was not afraid in the slightest.

When he was weak in the past, he concealed many things because the Immortal Court had many ways to kill his two true selves. Even his body refiner self didn't dare return to the Greenridge Macrocosm previously.

But now? Even if the Immortal Court sent a group of Overlords to kill him, Wu Yuan was confident he could hold them off.

As for supreme existences? Firstly, even if eternal lifeforms returned to the river of space and time, they would still find it difficult to kill Wu Yuan as long as his true self hid within the macrocosm. Secondly, there was still Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu.

The Eldritch Progenitor promised me that I need not worry about conflicts at the eternal level and above. Wu Yuan believed in Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu.

Her promise was not limited to his body refiner self, but referred to both of his true selves.

Now, let's see if that Overlord Gu Nian takes the bait. Wu Yuan's gaze was icy. I'll wait one day. If he still doesn't bite, I'll wipe out the Greenridge Continent.

Wu Yuan was waiting.

...

Above the Greenridge Continent, billions of li of spacetime were sealed off by arrays. Divine swords, flaming divine birds, lightning, and divine arrows manifested from the four offensive arrays. Yet Wu Yuan fended them off effortlessly.

"Hai Xuan, we can't suppress him!"

"What should we do?"

"Ming Jian is too powerful."

"Cultivating for less than a hundred thousand years, yet able to erupt with the combat power of a ninth-stage Sovereign?" The six Sovereigns of the Greenridge Immortal World anxiously transmitted messages to each other, their disquiet mounting.

Despite their collective, furious efforts to control the four arrays, they were still at a disadvantage.

"This Ming Jian truly is strong, so let’s overwhelm him," Sovereign Hai Xuan's eyes burned red, growling.

"Bind him, suppress him. Our arrays draw on the spiritual qi of heaven and earth for power, and we still have vast reserves of spirit crystals. As long as the array bases are not destroyed, they are practically inexhaustible.

“Meanwhile, the techniques he’s displaying are immensely powerful, and must consume equally massive quantities of mana. I don't believe he can drag this out forever," Sovereign Hai Xuan transmitted rapidly.

"Right!"

"A battle of attrition."

"Trap him and wear him down." Sovereign Jin Xu and the others quickly transmitted back, feeling this plan was feasible.

In truth, they knew that with the strength Wu Yuan had displayed, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to break free of their encirclement and leave.

But with things having reached this point, under the pressure of life or death, they could only grit their teeth and fight on, hoping for a miracle to occur or to force Wu Yuan to retreat.

We're resisting with all our might, showing Overlord Gu Nian we have some value. Perhaps the Immortal Court will send reinforcements. Sovereign Hai Xuan's true self and mana body each controlled one of the four arrays, striving to unleash as much power as possible.

At the same time, he sent message after message to Sovereign Voltari, requesting the Immortal Court to dispatch troops for aid. freewebnøvel.coɱ

A battle of attrition? Wu Yuan's eyes narrowed. He was unwilling to wait. If he didn't show the possibility of breaching the Greenridge Continent’s defenses, the Immortal Court likely wouldn't feel any urgency.

With that in mind, Wu Yuan moved, shifting his vast sword domain towards the outer reaches of the Greenridge Continent's spacetime.

"Ming Jian is moving."

"What is he doing?"

"Is he leaving?" Sovereign Hai Xuan, Sovereign Jin Xu and the others watched nervously, hope welling up in their hearts.

Wave after wave of attacks swept towards him like a tempest, but they were all blocked by the sword domain surrounding Wu Yuan.

Finally, Wu Yuan arrived at the edge of the continent's void.

One of the array bases is right here. Wu Yuan comprehended Spacetime and was proficient in array cultivation. With a mental command, an overwhelming rain of sword lights bombarded the area.

Rumble~ The strands of light formed by the auroral light domain were instantly shattered by sword qi. Then, sword lights swept through this dark void, and space violently shook.

Incredibly complex Dao patterns were revealed within. Under the assault of sword lights, the array base formed by countless converging Dao patterns collapsed. It simply couldn't withstand the attack. With one array base destroyed, the power of the auroral light domain controlled by Sovereign Hai Xuan immediately weakened slightly.

"What?"

"He deciphered the array's profundities so quickly?"

"This! This!" Sovereign Hai Xuan and Sovereign Jin Xu were greatly shocked. They hadn't expected Wu Yuan to find an array base so quickly, showing he had already discovered many flaws in the array.

The so-called dismantling of an array meant finding its operational vulnerabilities, then attacking them.

If one were strong enough, the entire array would be full of weak points. If one's strength was insufficient, then even if they found the array's weak points, they wouldn't be able to break through.

"Slowly but surely. Hai Xuan, let’s see just how long your Greenridge Continent's arrays can stop me." Wu Yuan's thunderous voice echoed across heaven and earth.

Bang! As the great battle raged on, Wu Yuan did not display greater power. He simply defended against the incoming attacks while constantly pondering how to dismantle the array bases, analyzing the arrays’ attacks, and deciphering the profundities of their operation.

It's right here! Soon after, Wu Yuan took a step, arriving in another patch of void a hundred million li from his original position.

Following that, three terrifying sword lights streaked across the sky, striking a corner of the dim void with great precision. This directly caused the power of the domain array in this region to drop sharply, no longer a match for Wu Yuan.
