Chapter 2371 - 2406: Terrifying Self-Destruction

Over the years, Er Li had already refined three drops of Essence of Original Blood, and now all of them had been used. Even if this battle could be won, Er Li would soon grow old and die, and that was why the elders were roaring at the top of their lungs.

"Hm?"

Wang Zhongjian sensed that something was wrong, because after a few drops of blood dripped from Er Li's body, the aura of his whole person became stronger, and it felt as if he had gone from the Elementary Stage of the Seventh Level Realm of the Divine Realm to the middle stage.

Although this was only a small distinction, once one reached the Seventh Level Realm of the Divine Realm, combat strength was no longer the same. Since all Seventh Level Experts of the Divine Realm possessed their own Spatial Domain Field, the gap between Seventh Level Elementary Stage and Seventh Level middle stage was actually quite large.

"Not good…"

Wang Zhongjian sensed the changes in the surrounding space, and his face changed again, because as the Spatial Domain Field strengthened, his speed was greatly reduced, whereas Er Li's speed, on the contrary, increased quite a bit.

"Bang bang!"

Er Li turned into a blood-soaked man, brandishing his Divine Weapon as he swept all the way forward. All the vines in front of him were easily chopped into pieces. His speed increased dramatically, like a sharp Sword cleaving straight down toward Wang Zhongjian.

"Burning the Essence of Original Blood?"

Wang Zhongjian knew this Secret Technique, but unfortunately he did not know how to use it. Only the Ancient Tribe humans could comprehend this Secret Technique. He watched Er Li rapidly closing in on him; no matter how many vines he sent out, Er Li could hack them apart and shred them. A trace of all-or-nothing resolve flashed in his eyes as he prepared to go all out.

Yes!

In fact, he had never used his full Power before, because he had never released his Heaven Earth True Insight. He had been hiding his Power precisely for a moment like this.

The Space Ring in his hand flashed with light, and many ink-colored Steel Needles appeared. The tips of the ink-colored Steel Needles glowed faintly, clearly tempered with a vicious poison.

"Swish swish swish~"

He threw out all the Steel Needles, but he did not hurl them toward Er Li. Instead, he scattered them at the vines around him. The Steel Needles shot into the vines and vanished.

"Buzz buzz!"

His ring kept flashing, endlessly shooting out ink-colored needles and firing them into the vines. Clearly, his Heaven Earth True Insight had fused with his Inherited Divine Technique; otherwise, those Steel Needles would not have disappeared into the vines.

At the same time, the surrounding vines quietly began to dance. The outer layers of vines twined around one another, forming a vast space that wrapped both Er Li and Wang Zhongjian together.

"Die~"

Er Li was about to rush up to Wang Zhongjian. His Divine Sense had been locked onto Wang Zhongjian the whole time. Of course, he was aware of Wang Zhongjian's little tricks, but did he have any other choice?

He had burned up his Essence of Original Blood and could only hold on for about forty minutes. After that he would become extremely weak. So if he could not kill Wang Zhongjian now, the Mothman Tribe would be finished.

"Bang!"

The last few layers of vines were torn apart by Er Li, and he burst out like a blood-red beast. The massive Battle Saber chopped down toward Wang Zhongjian, who was standing within the Vine Space.

"Boom boom~"

This saber strike used up all of his strength, making the entire space ripple. As his Battle Saber slashed down, the whole space was torn apart. The sound emitted by the Battle Saber pierced through the space, piercing through many people's eardrums. Golden light shone on the Battle Saber—this was the Power of the Heaven Earth True Insight comprehended by the Patriarch of Mothman Clan. It could tear apart any powerful defense.

"Haha!"

Wang Zhongjian was suppressed by Er Li's Spatial Domain Field, his speed greatly reduced. He could not escape. However, he did not feel worried at all; instead, he let out a cold laugh. He waved his hand and shouted angrily, "Watch my Heaven Earth True Insight—Violent Wind and Driving Rain!"

"Swish swish swish~"

A fierce wind suddenly rose in the sky, with a force comparable to a Tornado. Around the Vine Space, fine Steel Needles flew out from midair like a torrential downpour, densely covering every gap within the space.

Wang Zhongjian's Heaven Earth True Insight was the Truth of the Wind, which could perfectly merge with his warrior heritage. These fine needles were specially made by him, released by borrowing the Truth of the Wind. The fine needles were forged from the best Mysterious Iron Material, and the poison they were soaked in was a very famous toxin from the Central Plains—just a scratch that broke a bit of skin would kill a person.

The Truth of the Wind could drive these fine needles to their ultimate speed, and they could easily pierce any armor other than Divine Armor. Once they pierced a warrior's body, that person would be paralyzed within a single breath, and dead within the next.

The Vine Space could prevent warriors from escaping, and the Truth of the Wind could push the Poison Needles' speed to the limit. Once the Steel Needles reached a terrifying level, their Attack Power became considerable. The Poison Needles were densely distributed throughout every area of the Vine Space. No one could possibly avoid them; they could only await death.

This was Wang Zhongjian's most powerful combat strength. Relying on this skill, he had once slain a Seventh Level Expert of the Divine Realm and more than a dozen Sixth Level Experts of the Divine Realm in a battle with the Silver Wolf Gang, making ordinary Seventh Level Experts of the Divine Realm in the northeast part of the Central Plains flee at the mere mention of his name.

"It's over!"

A despairing thought suddenly surfaced in Er Li's mind. If he did not use Instantaneous Movement to retreat right now, he would certainly die in the next second.

If he flew out, it would be very hard for him to get back in. Even if he forced his way in again, Wang Zhongjian could unleash another storm, while the time left on his burning Essence of Original Blood was already almost up.

If he used Instantaneous Movement to leave, he might still have another chance to launch an attack, but the final outcome would be unknown to anyone. If he did not retreat, he would die immediately.

"Die, let's die together!"

Er Li made his decision in an instant. He roared, his whole body igniting into blazing flames. A terrifying aura surged off him, making Wang Zhongjian feel horror from the depths of his Soul.

"Crazy, you're crazy!"

Wang Zhongjian's pupils shrank, and he bellowed, his face filled with dread. His body turned into a streak of rainbow light, retreating at the fastest speed, releasing countless vines in front of him.

The Ancient Tribe possessed many Secret Techniques, and many other Ancient Tribes did as well, techniques that made the Human Race deeply fearful. These Secret Techniques had once caused the Human Race massive losses.

The self-destruction Secret Technique Er Li was unleashing right now was one of them!

Burn your own Divine Weapon or your own True Yuan, forcing the Energy within to erupt in an instant, generating a terrifying explosive force that tears apart every living thing around you.

If it were only a self-destruction by a Divine Realm Sixth Level Expert, Wang Zhongjian wouldn't even take it seriously. But right now it was a Divine Realm Seventh Level Expert self-destructing. That was far too terrifying. How many Heaven and Earth Treasures does it take to cultivate a Divine Realm Seventh Level Expert? And how terrifying is the Power sealed within a Seventh Level Expert's Divine Weapon?

That was simply beyond imagination!

The reason Wang Zhongjian called Er Li insane was because once Er Li self-destructed, Wang Zhongjian had no idea whether he himself would live or die—but at the very least, every nearby member of the Mothman Tribe would be annihilated; not a single one could survive.

"Run~"

At the same time, far off in the mountains, Ye Li's expression also changed drastically. He too possessed the self-destruction Secret Technique, and he knew how terrifying it was for a Divine Realm Seventh Level Expert to self-destruct. Back when the Ye Family was destroyed, both their clan and the Meng Family Members had experts self-destruct. The blast then had wiped life clean for a hundred miles around—nothing grew.

"Whoosh~"

Ye Li charged out with Ding Fanli at the fastest speed. Suddenly, in the distance, a shocking radiance erupted—like an exploding sun, visible even thousands of miles away.

"Boom~!"

Then came the detonation, shaking the heavens. At that moment, Ding Fan and Ye Li's eardrums ruptured, a wave of agony crashing into them. They couldn't hear a single sound—their minds held only one furious roar.

"Down!"

Ye Li reacted instantly. Despite the stabbing pain in his ears, he snatched up Ding Fan, dashed into a ravine ahead, and then pressed Ding Fan beneath his own body.

"Rumble rumble..."

A horrifying shockwave swept outward. The mountain behind Ye Li and Ding Fan was instantly leveled, several layers of earth stripped away. Even though they had thrown themselves into the ravine, they were still lifted up, tumbling through the air as they were blasted away, carried tens of miles from where they'd been.

"Bang bang!"

They finally slammed into a great mountain. Both of them were drenched in blood, their skin slashed and torn in many places, Ye Li's back nothing but mangled flesh.

Ding Fan sat there for a moment, shook his head, flinging off the dust clinging to it. He wiped his face, turned to look back, but his expression went completely dazed.

What now entered his sight was a massive basin, its surface unnaturally smooth. There had been countless peaks here before, but now they were all gone. No trees, no weeds, no rivers—only bare, exposed earth.

"Hiss~!"

Ding Fan couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath. The self-destruction of a Divine Realm Seventh Level Expert was actually this terrifying. Fortunately, they had been more than a hundred miles from the blast center; otherwise, they would most likely have been ground to dust.

"Woo woo~"

Sirius also slipped out from Ding Fan's sleeve, its body likewise coated in dust. It shook out its fur and glanced around curiously.

"Go!"

Ye Li's face was grim. He ignored the wounds on his back, swallowed a Healing Medicine, then grabbed Ding Fan and charged toward the blast center.

Ding Fan snapped fully back to awareness. Er Li was definitely dead, but whether Wang Zhongjian was alive or not was unknown.

If he was still alive, this was the best possible chance. The two of them had to kill him immediately. If Wang Zhongjian escaped the Barbarian Lands, it would be like leaving behind an endless calamity.

"Okay!"

Ding Fan was wildly excited. This was the most favorable situation they could ask for. This time he was determined to kill Wang Zhongjian.

The two of them charged forward, searching for Wang Zhongjian's figure. As they advanced, even Ye Li felt shocked. Severed limbs and corpses lay everywhere; blood still rained down from the sky. Clearly, the Mothman Tribe below had been shredded into pieces—no survivors remained.

Ye Li pushed his speed to the limit. With a quick glance, he flew straight toward the blast center—but he could not find any trace of Wang Zhongjian.
