Chapter 1356: Disbelief
Chapter 1356: Disbelief
When Heavenly Venerable Jian Si saw the Myriad Venerable God Tower in Yi Tianyun’s hand, he was completely stunned, his eyes blank. Just moments ago he had been wondering who had killed Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God, now, seeing the Myriad Venerable God Tower in Yi Tianyun’s possession, there was no doubt, Yi Tianyun was the one who killed him!
The Myriad Venerable God Tower was Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God’s signature treasure, one of his most well-known. There was no way he would have given it to someone else. If it appeared in someone else’s hands, there was only one possibility, he was dead!
Of course, by now, most powerful factions already knew that Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God had died, what they didn’t know was who had killed him. As for the captured divine generals, some were killed, others imprisoned underground and cruelly tortured.
Eventually, the truth came to light, and those prisoners were released. But by then, they were already half-crippled. The God Territory that had captured them was left in an awkward position, who would’ve thought Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God would actually be killed?
But the event had already happened, and there was no undoing it. At most, some apologies were offered. The elders of Slaughter God’s God Territory frantically sought the identity of the killer.
In the end, Slaughter God’s faction could only swallow their anger. Could they even seek revenge? During that chaotic time, Slaughter God’s God Territory was ferociously attacked by others, and by the time they realized what had happened, a large portion of their territory had been destroyed, losses were immense.
Losing Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God was already a crushing blow. Now their territory was in ruins, and on top of that, they’d been falsely accused. The experts of Slaughter God’s faction were as frustrated as could be.
To make things worse, the death of their Heavenly Venerable caused their standing to plummet. Territories that once treated them with respect now looked down on them, no longer showing courtesy.
When they sought help investigating the killer, most just brushed them off, pretending to assist but putting no real effort in.
After all, the one who killed Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God couldn’t possibly be weak. Who dared get involved in that mess? The smart ones stayed far away, no one wanted to get too close.
Some God Territories were even looking to befriend the killer. After all, someone stronger than Slaughter God was worth knowing, alliances could bring great benefits.
Even Jian Si himself would gladly make such a connection. He had always considered Slaughter God an enemy, so now that someone had helped eliminate him, why wouldn’t he want to befriend them?
But no one knew who the killer was. Jian Si and the others could only regret not knowing, hoping they might someday meet this powerful figure.
And now, this very mysterious powerhouse stood before him, his own junior brother!
Heavenly Venerable Jian Si stared at the Myriad Venerable God Tower in Yi Tianyun’s hand, unable to say a single word. It was too bizarre, too unbelievable. The person they’d been searching for all along… was his own junior brother!
“It… it was really you who killed him?” Jian Si finally managed to speak after a long pause, still in disbelief.
“It really was me. The Myriad Venerable God Tower is right here. Did Heavenly Venerable Slaughter God gift it to me? Or someone else, perhaps?” Yi Tianyun said with a smile.
“Well, that’s true… but Slaughter God was so powerful, how did you manage to kill him?” Jian Si thought about it. It made sense, but the method still baffled him.
Their cultivation levels were far apart, it should’ve been incredibly difficult to win.
“It was actually quite simple. I used Master’s attack imprint, which continuously weakened him, then struck him hard while he was vulnerable, that’s how I killed him,” Yi Tianyun explained casually.
“Master’s attack imprint does weaken enemies, yes… but it shouldn’t be that powerful. Even to seriously threaten him, you’d need at least mid-stage Lower Heavenly Venerable power… Wait, don’t tell me…” Jian Si looked Yi Tianyun up and down. He could sense only God Monarch-level cultivation.
Yi Tianyun was indeed at fifth-level God Monarch. His cultivation wasn’t especially high. For a God Monarch to possess half-step Heavenly Venerable power was already remarkable. If he had mid-stage Lower Heavenly Venerable strength, that would be heaven-defying.
“Well, I did have a few advantages. I didn’t need especially high cultivation, early-stage Lower Heavenly Venerable power was enough. I guess I just had a deeper understanding of martial arts, so my attacks were more damaging,” Yi Tianyun explained. “Killing Slaughter God took a lot of luck. Without it, I wouldn’t have succeeded. Honestly, I might’ve died instead.”
Yi Tianyun wasn’t lying. Even going all out, he wasn’t guaranteed to win. He had used his perceived weakness to bait his enemy into making a mistake.
If he had revealed his full power from the start, he’d likely be dead.
“That’s actually very possible… but your martial arts comprehension is that deep?” Jian Si stood up and said, “Junior Brother, I’m still a little doubtful. If you can show me strength that convinces me, I will support you unconditionally in the God Territory War!”
“Alright!” Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up, and he stood up quickly. “Then, Senior Brother, forgive me if I’m impolite!”
As he spoke, he drew his Stars Divine Spear and pointed it at Jian Si. Immediately, he activated the Hao Han Divine Art, not showing all his power, just enough to demonstrate the depth of his comprehension.
If he really went all out, it would be overkill. True full-power explosions only happened in life-or-death scenarios.
From Jian Si’s point of view, even if Yi Tianyun gave his all, it wouldn’t be as strong as when he killed Slaughter God. Desperation brings out more power!
Of course, that was just his wishful thinking.
Yi Tianyun thrust his spear forward. Jian Si flicked his hand, and with a light tap, deflected the strike.
Yi Tianyun spun in the air a few times and landed steadily, completely unscathed. Jian Si was also completely unharmed. It was just a friendly sparring match.
“Not bad, not bad! You’ve cultivated the Hao Han Divine Art to the fifth level, how terrifying. It only has seven levels in total, and you’re already at the fifth. With this, I see no issue with you breaking through to Heavenly Venerable,” Jian Si said in astonishment. “As expected of my junior brother! No wonder you were able to defeat Slaughter God. Just the fifth-level Hao Han Divine Art alone was enough to fully unleash the power of Master’s attack imprint!”
“That explains why Slaughter God was so thoroughly suppressed. I believe it now, Junior Brother, you do have the power to kill him!”
Jian Si said with satisfaction, “If this news reaches Master, you won’t even need to break through to Heavenly Venerable, you’ll already qualify to be his disciple. Even if he hasn’t recovered from his injuries, he’ll probably escort you personally. You wouldn’t even need to participate in the God Territory War.”
“Senior Brother Jian, I must participate in the God Territory War. I have to seize that token core!” Yi Tianyun shook his head firmly. The token core was non-negotiable.
