Yeon Gaesomun had chosen a perfect time to attack, seemingly in concert with the mysterious men attacking from under the ground.

Given how the two sides were working so well together, Yeon Gaesomun must have known about those men hiding underground.

Floating in the air, Wang Chong immediately understood what was going on, his eyes flashing.

Ozmish Khagan had led his Eastern Turkic generals in drawing his attention while Yeon Gaesomun joined the experts underground in attacking him from behind.

All of this had been clearly planned out.

But Wang Chong quickly got ahold of himself.

“Hmph, laughable!”

Wang Chong coldly snorted as he made his move.

“Origin Immortal Art!”

The air rippled as a resplendent pavilion appeared, its light engulfing Wang Chong like a rising sun.

Bang!

Streams of energy rushed in from all sides, striking Wang Chong’s Trayastrimsa Heaven.

By this time, Wang Chong was completely concealed within the Trayastrimsa Heaven.

Buzz!

That majestic Stellar Energy struck Wang Chong, but it seemed to vanish into a bottomless pit. It flowed into the Trayastrimsa Heaven where it was absorbed and digested by the Origin Immortal Art.

Meanwhile, the ten-some bloody blades that had emerged from the Ksitigarbha Buddha Palm encountered the Trayastrimsa Heaven when they were still one hundred feet away from Wang Chong. They were all stopped cold, as if they had run into a steel wall.

Wang Chong had long ago cultivated his Origin Immortal Art to a masterful level. He had improved its strength to a new level, allowing him to swiftly absorb many attacks and make their energy his own.

“Not good!”

Sensing his attack vanishing like a clay doll into the ocean, one of the star-crowned, black-robed elders hiding within the Ksitigarbha Buddha Palm instantly felt an ill foreboding.

Wang Chong’s cultivation level was far too high, far higher than they had estimated.

Before this operation, they had simulated many scenarios, but they had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to singlehandedly absorb all their attacks.

What made their failure even more shocking was that they had even considered Wang Chong’s frightening power and thus utilized ten-some Stellar-piercing weapons of the Earth Sect.

These ten-some bloody blades concealed in the Ksitigarbha Buddha Palm were incredibly sharp and had slain numerous experts of the Central Plains and other countries, quite a few of whom had been specialists in condensing Stellar Energy into protective barriers. The blades’ power could make countless experts shiver in fear.

Not even masters who had cultivated Stellar Energy to the apex would be able to stop them.

But these precious treasures had been blocked by Wang Chong using purely his Stellar Energy.

Those ten-some blades hadn’t even been able to penetrate half an inch into his Stellar Energy.

“Withdraw!” The leading Earth Sect expert called out an order to retreat.

Wang Chong was far too powerful, even more powerful than when he had defeated Khatabah in the war of the northwest. This was someone that they simply couldn’t deal with.

“You want to leave? Can you?” A mocking voice came from above.

Just when that Earth Sect expert was prepared to use his Earth Movement technique to flee, Wang Chong thrust out a palm.

Bang!

There was no skill in this. Wang Chong had merey gathered the energy absorbed by the Origin Immortal Art, added some of his own, and unleashed it.

“Ah!”

The ten-some Eastern Turkic experts of the Earth Sect were sent flying like ragdolls.

In the face of Wang Chong’s destructive torrent of Stellar Energy, their resistance was insignificant. The gap between them was like that between heaven and earth.

Thudthudthud!

Seven or eight of the Earth Sect experts simply exploded on the spot.

Wang Chong had no intention of letting them survive this strike.

“Yeon Gaesomun, go and join them!”

Wang Chong had not forgotten about Yeon Gaesomun. His right palm thrust out and unleashed a destructive torrent of energy at Yeon Gaesomun as well.

Yeon Gaesomun’s pupils constricted, instantly smelling the stench of death at his nostrils.

But the savagery in his heart had also been provoked.

“Celestial God Six Imperial, strike!”

A thunderous roar resounded through the world.

Bang!

As Yeon Gaesomun called out, a black saber deep in the depths of the sky descended like a meteor toward Wang Chong.

Bang!

Three feet away from Wang Chong’s head, the Trayastrimsa Heaven appeared and instantly blocked that bizarre black saber.

Wang Chong’s Trayastrimsa Heaven was like steel, and not even the Earth Sect’s Stellar-piercing weapons had been able to penetrate it. Yet Yeon Gaesomun’s saber had managed to penetrate half a foot into the Trayastrimsa Heaven—evidence of its incredible might!

But Wang Chong’s Trayastrimsa Heaven Stellar Energy was far thicker than half a foot. Yeon Gaesomun’s saber had still failed to break Wang Chong’s defenses.

“Celestial God Six Imperial? So this was your sixth saber!”

Wang Chong looked up at the sixth saber and softly chuckled.

Yeon Gaesomun had a divine mastery of the saber. This was something that Wang Chong had heard about long ago.

But most mystical of all was Yeon Gaesomun’s sixth saber. Few had ever seen this sixth saber, and this was Wang Chong’s first time seeing it for himself.

It was powerful and peerlessly sharp, but alas, it was still no match for him.

Bang!

A moment later, Wang Chong waved his finger, and Yeon Gaesomun’s sixth saber was drawn by some invisible energy and joined a storm of Stellar Energy in howling at Yeon Gaesomun’s face.

This saber moved so quickly that it seemed to blink out of existence. When it next appeared, it was only a few inches from Yeon Gaesomun’s face.

Wang Chong was no master of the saber, but he did know how to use a sword. The Art of God and Demon Obliteration passed down by Su Zhengchen could only be superior, not inferior, to Yeon Gaesomun’s saber arts.

When using sword intent to control a saber, Wang Chong could exhibit a power even more frightening than Yeon Gaesomun’s.

“How could this be?”

Yeon Gaesomun’s eyes narrowed in disbelief. He had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to seize and use his sixth saber.

Yeon Gaesomun’s sixth saber was a demonic saber with a powerful will of its own—that of a vicious beast. Anyone who carelessly touched it would not only be unable to use this demonic saber, their mind would be invaded, and the demonic saber’s will would wipe out their consciousness and seize their body.

Besides him, there was no one in Goguryeo that could use this saber, not even King Bojang.

But after one clash, Wang Chong had taken control of the saber.

And when Wang Chong attacked, Yeon Gaesomun sensed that he was in grave peril.

Bang!

In a flash of light, Yeon Gaesomun was smashed into the ground by the saber and Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy, stirring up a massive cloud of dust.

In a few short moments, Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, and the Earth Sect experts had been vanquished. Not only had they failed to threaten Wang Chong, they had suffered horrendous losses from Wang Chong’s assault.

At that moment, Wang Chong seemed like a supreme god, the entire battlefield intimidated by his calm gaze.

In the face of absolute strength, all schemes were futile.

“Mm?”

Suddenly, Wang Chong raised an eyebrow as he looked down.

“Still not dead!”

A look of surprise appeared on Wang Chong’s face.

According to Wang Chong’s calculations, his palm should have had enough strength to kill all the Earth Sect experts, but while eight or nine of the ten-some experts had died, the rest, including that Earth Sect elder wearing the star crown, had managed to escape from Wang Chong’s attack. Though their organs had been badly hurt, they were still alive.

The men in black again!

Wang Chong looked around and immediately spotted a black metal sphere in the hands of that Earth Sect Elder.

This metal fretwork sphere was rapidly spinning, spewing out clouds of mist. One could see a metallic core within the sphere that crackled with blue lightning.

Wang Chong could also sense a familiar energy in this metal sphere: the ripples of the Stellar Energy he had just unleashed.

A portion of the Stellar Energy he had released had probably been absorbed and resisted by that metal sphere.

Wang Chong was no stranger to this situation. In the feast of all countries, An Lushan had used a similar ritual tool to block his attacks.

It wasn’t very likely that the Earth Sect had a direct connection to the men in black. It was clear that An Lushan had given them this ritual tool.

If even the Earth Sect martial artists had ritual tools from the men in black, then there was no doubt that Yeon Gaesomun...

Wang Chong turned his head, and, as expected, as the dust and snow settled down, a stalwart figure coughed and stood back up, the sabers on his body clearly identifying the man.

Blood was trickling from the corner of his lip, his eyes were somewhat dim, and his armor was in tatters. This Emperor of Goguryeo was clearly badly wounded, but it was equally clear that he had survived.

Wang Chong scanned his body and found another metal fretwork sphere, spewing black smoke as it rapidly turned.

It was obvious that his attack had also been blocked by this metal sphere.
