Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2274: Chapter 2321: Exhausting All Means

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, the White Bone Warhorse, and the core of the blood moon passed through the canopy of the "Death" character without hindrance.

A dull, indifferent voice emanated from the chest of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis. "The power is much greater than last time, enough to threaten me. What a pity you’ve already used this move."

Last time, the Execution Pen had completely melted the blood moon he had condensed. Having suffered once, how could he be completely defenseless? These skeletons were the preparations he had made to guard against this exact move while relentlessly pursuing Jiang Fan.

As he spoke, his torso fully reformed, and his neck was rapidly reshaping as well. The complete reconstruction of his body was merely a split second away.

Jiang Fan’s expression was solemn, but his hands did not stop. The Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd fell into his palm and was instantly activated.

Sensing the movement, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis flicked his finger. An incredibly profound trajectory, intimately aligned with the Heavenly Dao, silently traced around him. This was impressively a quasi-Immortal Technique!

In an instant, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis vanished into thin air!

No, he hadn’t disappeared. His fierce aura was still spreading, proving he was still on horseback. He had simply executed a heaven-defying magic to erase his existence from the world. This way, he could evade the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd!

"I told you, you’ve already used the same move," the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s icy voice rang out from the horse’s back.

Jiang Fan looked indifferent. "Who said I was going to use the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd?"

Having already wasted the Execution Pen, how could Jiang Fan fall into the same trap twice? Beneath the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd lay a hammer and an awl. It was none other than the replica Hammer of Thunder God, containing a trace of Divine Power!

The moment this item appeared, the White Bone Warhorse—which had its head lowered, chewing on flesh and blood—jerked its head up. Its two pitch-black eye sockets stared fixatedly at the hammer in Jiang Fan’s hand as its hooves slowly retreated. It clearly sensed a massive threat.

A tremor of emotion wavered in the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s voice. "It’s the aura of that head!"

The "head," of course, referred to the Thunder God’s head sealed within the Soul Refining Hall!

Jiang Fan didn’t give him any time to react. He directly activated the Hammer of Thunder God! With a heavy strike, a grayish-brown, translucent Thunderbolt descended from the unseen depths.

"You cannot kill me!" the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis said indifferently.

BOOM!

The translucent Thunderbolt triggered a terrifying explosion on the soul level, accurately striking the retreating White Bone Warhorse.

Indeed! His target was not the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, but the Spiritual Wisdom of this Eighth-grade Heavenly Pill! As long as this pill was not destroyed, he could kill the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis ten or a hundred times over, and the monster would still be able to resurrect.

"Stop!" The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s voice trembled slightly. He raised his newly recovered arm to block the Thunderbolt.

SIZZLE.

The Thunderbolt pierced right through his arm and sank into the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s body.

With a soul that was infinitely close to the Saint Realm, ordinary Soul Attacks were completely ineffective against the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis. He didn’t even utter a sound.

However, when the sliver of Divine Power contained within the Thunderbolt erupted, the Marquis—who had never known suffering—let out an agonizing roar from deep within his chest.

"Ant! How dare you injure my soul!"

The roar that shook the Void set off a massive shockwave. Even the blood moon beneath their feet was shattered into pieces by the sheer force. Jiang Fan, who had prepared in advance by taking out the Wind God Order Flag, was not entirely spared; he was blown backward, stumbling uncontrollably!

Outside his body, the Immortal King’s Undying Bell rang with a violent tremor. Jiang Fan let out a muffled groan from the impact and spewed a large mouthful of blood.

The power of this strike was beyond expectations! It had actually managed to injure the eternal soul of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis! Furthermore, the Thunderbolt hadn’t been fully intercepted by him. A trace of Thunder Arc still splashed down, striking the White Bone Warhorse.

NEIGH!

If even the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis couldn’t withstand such a Soul Attack, what chance did the White Bone Warhorse have? An ugly, agonized shriek tore from its rotting throat as its four legs buckled, dropping it to its knees. Without it chewing on the flesh, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s reshaping process came to an abrupt halt.

However, this completely ignited the ferocity of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!

"Die!" he snorted coldly, raising his finger to trace a trajectory toward Jiang Fan!

Jiang Fan’s expression changed drastically. Another quasi-Immortal Technique! Even without his Blood Spear, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis still possessed an invincible might that looked down upon eternity!

But this was exactly the moment Jiang Fan had been waiting for! Because once the second Immortal Technique was activated, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s "existence erasure" effect failed, and his presence was revealed once more!

"Time Freeze!" Jiang Fan roared, charging forward against the terrifying trajectory. As he sprinted, a flash of light appeared on his feet—the Yuhua Divine Boots were now equipped, radiating layer upon layer of temporal ripples!

He had never dared to casually consume the temporal power within them, all for this very day! Now, he could finally unleash it to his heart’s content!

"The Yuhua Divine Boots of the Daqian Divine Kingdom’s Monarch? You have them?" A trace of surprise echoed from the chest of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis. He realized what was about to happen. Once he was frozen by time, Jiang Fan would be able to activate the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd!

"Know your limits!" the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis said indifferently, pushing his finger forward to send the trajectory flying out.

The waves of time froze everything, but against this terrifying trajectory—capable of killing the vast majority of Sages in the world—they were instantly cleaved apart! Although subsequent waves surged forward anew, they couldn’t stop the trajectory in the slightest. It cut through as if it had entered no-man’s land, heading straight for Jiang Fan!

This strike would be more than enough to obliterate Jiang Fan before he could trigger the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd!

Jiang Fan’s pupils constricted. After a brief flicker of hesitation in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, ignored the incoming trajectory, and activated the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd!

"Zhenbei Blood Marquis!"

Yellow chains instantly flew out and entangled the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis! At the same moment, the trajectory slammed into Jiang Fan’s body!

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis let out a harsh, icy voice. "It’s over!"

His quasi-Immortal Technique was powerful enough to kill any living creature beneath the level of an eternal monster!

However, to his complete surprise, a golden bell suddenly manifested in front of Jiang Fan, shooting out a nine-colored mist. When his trajectory struck the nine-colored mist, it became bogged down, as if sinking into thick mud, unable to advance any further!

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s voice suddenly darkened. "The national destiny of Nanqian? Why is it on you?"

The only response he received was Jiang Fan’s bone-chilling voice!

"Seal!"

A sudden turbulence seized the heart of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis! He felt the premonition of death! This was a sensation he had rarely encountered, even during the era of the Daqian Divine Kingdom!

Hovering on the line between life and death, the blood moon beneath his feet suddenly surged upward. It attempted to envelop the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis to resist the pulling force from the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd!

But as the wave of time struck, the turbulent blood moon paused slightly, though it still continued its attempt to wrap around him. Then, a second wave of time surged forward, slowing the blood moon down yet another step.

Then the third wave, the fourth, the fifth...

Under the reckless, all-out activation of the Yuhua Divine Boots, continuous waves of time washed over this blood moon—which had amassed the flesh and bones of countless living beings—until it was finally completely frozen in place.

More than half of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s body had already sunk into the blood moon, leaving only his neck and head exposed. The chains from the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd slowly began dragging him out of the blood moon!

Jiang Fan’s eyes were brimming with murderous intent. "It is indeed time to end this!"
