Chapter 768: Chapter 764: Great Battle with the Sacred Lord and Revered Masters

Ascendant Hehe’s laughter died. "What did you say?"

He could hardly believe his ears.

"The three of you can come at me together."

Dugu Shang said again, his voice perfectly calm.

This time, Ascendant Hehe and the other two exchanged a look. After confirming they hadn’t misheard, they didn’t attack. Instead, they all stared at Dugu Shang.

Their gazes were strange, as if they were looking at a madman.

Who were they? They were masters, Ascendants, on equal footing with Dugu Shang—not to mention they had cultivated for over a thousand years. In their eyes, Dugu Shang was nothing more than a toddler learning to walk.

But now, this "toddler" was actually challenging the three of them at once!

"Heh heh..."

Ascendant Hehe laughed again.

Shu Fangge’s eyes narrowed again, a flicker of amusement in their depths.

Neither of them made a move.

The Jade-faced Ascendant, however, stepped forward, his already unpleasant face frosting over. "Dugu Shang, your goading tactics are useless against me. Since you are so arrogant, I’ll show you that a Cultivation Technique isn’t everything!"

He may have looked middle-aged, but he was in fact a thousand-year-old monster, fully qualified to make such a claim.

Although Dugu Shang cultivated the Saint Skill, the Primordial Undying Scripture, he had only been training for a few decades. He was no match for him.

As he spoke, the Jade-faced Ascendant formed his fingers into a claw and reached for Dugu Shang.

His movement defied martial logic, as slow as a snail’s crawl.

But as he struck, runic patterns flared to life across the Holy Land.

These runic patterns were the work of a Saint, appearing only when the ambient pressure reached a certain threshold. That they appeared the moment the Jade-faced Ascendant attacked spoke volumes about the power of his strike.

The Jade-faced Ascendant’s five fingers formed a claw. Though his movements were strangely slow, the void itself twisted and warped, as if he were holding a planet captive in his grasp.

This was the boundless, tyrannical power of a Martial Realm.

A strike like this could crush a mountain of ten thousand peaks with a single grasp.

Ascendant Hehe raised an eyebrow, slightly startled. ’That old monster is using eighty percent of his strength right from the start. Looks like he’s taking Dugu Shang seriously.’

Shu Fangge kept his eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on the two fighters as he calculated inwardly. ’The Jade-faced Ascendant’s cultivation is at the Sealed Martial Realm Seventh Layer. That one strike could pulverize dozens of square miles. Dugu Shang won’t need to reverse time and space, but he’ll definitely have to use the full power of the Primordial Undying Scripture to receive it.’

Just then, Dugu Shang moved.

He raised a hand, conjuring a ball of True Essence from thin air.

Primordial Gang Qi!

The next moment, Dugu Shang flicked his wrist, sending the Primordial Gang Qi flying.

The Jade-faced Ascendant’s expression changed dramatically. The ball of Primordial Gang Qi looked unassuming, but he felt an immense, boundless pressure emanating from it.

Just as he was about to unleash his full power, the Jade-faced Ascendant discovered that Dugu Shang had seized control of the surrounding void. He couldn’t muster any more strength.

SPURT!

Without an ounce of suspense, the Jade-faced Ascendant’s body was sent flying.

Fresh blood splattered through the void.

An Ascendant with a thousand years of practice, using eighty percent of his cultivation base, couldn’t even withstand a single move from Dugu Shang!

Shu Fangge’s narrowed eyes snapped open, wide as saucers in utter shock.

The smile on Ascendant Hehe’s face vanished, replaced by sheer terror.

"You!"

The Jade-faced Ascendant’s flying body came to a sudden halt in the void. He then strode back in a single step, staring intently at Dugu Shang. After that one word, he was rendered speechless.

But a moment later, he attacked again.

This time, the full, terrifyingly boundless might of his Sealed Martial Realm Seventh Layer cultivation poured forth.

Dugu Shang acted just as he had before, and once again, the Jade-faced Ascendant was sent flying, spilling blood across the sky.

ROAR!

The Jade-faced Ascendant roared, the sound rattling the runic patterns of the Holy Land. His hair stood on end, and like a crazed demon, he prepared to strike again.

Dugu Shang reached out and pressed down on the void. Endless Primordial Gang Qi surged forth, causing the very fabric of space to collapse.

The Jade-faced Ascendant’s body was suppressed, completely immobilized.

Dugu Shang looked at him and shook his head. "You are not enough. I told you, all of you should come at me together."

As he spoke, Dugu Shang’s gaze swept over Ascendant Hehe and Shu Fangge.

He was, once again, challenging all three of them.

Shu Fangge and Ascendant Hehe’s expressions were grim.

Dugu Shang’s combat strength was beyond their imagination.

They were stronger than the Jade-faced Ascendant, but not by much. Forget reaching Dugu Shang’s level; even defeating the Jade-faced Ascendant would cost them dearly.

In other words, in a one-on-one fight, neither of them would be a match for Dugu Shang.

"What are you waiting for? Attack! If you don’t, he’ll pick us off one by one, and none of us will be his match! Take him down first, then we’ll seize the Primordial Undying Scripture and study it together!" The Jade-faced Ascendant was suppressed, but he could still communicate with his divine sense.

Shu Fangge and Ascendant Hehe exchanged a look, then attacked without hesitation.

’The only reason Dugu Shang is this powerful has to be the Primordial Undying Scripture,’ they thought. ’If we let him continue to grow, it will be a disaster for us all.’

’Attacking now, we still have a seventy percent chance of success. It’s time to risk it all!’

One from the left and one from the right, the two of them attacked Dugu Shang with incredible speed.

The power of their Martial Realms swept over Dugu Shang’s position, seeking to suppress him.

Dugu Shang remained motionless, but his eyes grew profound.

Suddenly, Shu Fangge, Ascendant Hehe, and the Jade-faced Ascendant felt the scene shift. They found themselves in a boundless void, with planet after planet suspended in the distance.

Dugu Shang stood before them, staring unblinkingly.

The three of them paled.

This was a spiritual battlefield, constructed from his very will—a representation of Dugu Shang’s martial path.

’What a terrifying ability for the Primordial Undying Scripture!’ The three of them were shaken to the core.

Without a word, the three attacked in unison.

The three thousand-year-old monsters moved to suppress Dugu Shang.

Dugu Shang remained still, but uttered two words: "Sun Rise."

An endless, divine light appeared from the east.

The divine light was so immense that the three of them instinctively narrowed their eyes.

At that exact moment, Dugu Shang moved.

But they were, after all, thousand-year masters. They struck back in unison.

BOOM!

Under the force of the massive collision, a distant planet exploded.

The immense divine light vanished. The three masters swayed, their bodies reeling from the impact.

When they looked again, they saw blood trickling from the corner of Dugu Shang’s mouth. He was seriously injured.

But this brought them no joy, only a profound sense of shock.

’We attacked in haste just now, using only sixty percent of our strength,’ they realized. ’But the combined force of our three attacks was nearly equivalent to two of us at full power. And Dugu Shang actually took it!’

Instantly, the shock in their eyes turned to killing intent, and they attacked again.

Dugu Shang spoke again, uttering another two words: "Moon Fall."

As he spoke, the boundless void plunged into darkness.

Their attacks struck empty space; they couldn’t locate Dugu Shang’s body at all.

Just then, Dugu Shang’s voice rang out once more, again with two words: "Stars Fall."

In the boundless void, planet after planet traversed infinite space to come crashing down upon Shu Fangge and the other two in the darkness.

A furious roar echoed, shaking the cosmos.

Feeling the immense power, Shu Fangge and the others went into a frenzy.

One of the falling planets exploded in mid-air.

Dugu Shang’s body, hidden in the darkness, trembled slightly.
