Chapter 1505

At this point, Xu Ran calmed down instead. “Mere sinners dare attempt to defy the heavens! I’ll show you what it means to be an immortal.”

He stretched out a finger and summoned an altar out of thin air. On it were seven items: a book, a sword, a bow, a crossbow, a piece of jade, a talisman, and a cauldron.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Ran placed the sword and crossbow in the hands of Jian and Ye. The blade transformed into a giant sword made of yellow jade, a weapon that would project the images of mountains and rivers with each swing.

The crossbow in Ye’s hands was like a serpentine beast of legends, loaded with three bolts.

The emissary pointed at the sky and the cauldron flew up in the air, spewing radiant light that would protect the altar and himself.

He pointed at the ground and the ancient tome expanded below his feet, carrying him and the altar into the air.

Seven small arrows appeared as Xu Ran picked up the bow. The weapon’s name could be seen carved upon the bow: Godfright.

Xu Ran nocked an arrow on the bow and said coldly, “You will pay the price for angering me. Do you think you can deceive me with that misled divination art of yours?”

He fired an arrow at Empress Li.

The arrow flew at extreme speeds, arriving at its target the moment it left the bow.

Empress Li’s body jolted. She revealed a mournful smile as she glanced at the arrow that had pierced her chest, her eyes bright and clear. “So that’s how it is! I’ve finally seen through fate!”

Her body slowly fell limp to the ground as blood sprayed out in all directions.

Xu Ran’s expression was unsightly. “Mad! You’re all mad!”

“Emissary, this…” Ye asked in concern.

“No matter! This woman is a sinner and should be slaughtered.” Xu Ran nocked a second arrow. He naturally wouldn’t say that Empress Li had clouded his judgment with divination, making him believe that she was the center of the conflict, hence depriving him of one arrow.

Of course, the others wouldn’t leave Xu Ran be. Countless spider threads stabbed at the cauldron’s light barrier, causing it to flicker unsteadily. The Spider Queen’s attack was capable of shattering mountains, but it couldn’t break this screen!

On the other side, a torrential wave of blood energy arrived and a blood moon hung in the air. The Queen of the Night had joined the fray in a pincer attack.

With two supremes attacking, there was simply no room for others to step in.

The blood energy spread all over the cauldron’s radiance. When the moon’s light showered down upon the cauldron, the treasure actually shrank a bit! Two repeats of this process would reduce the cauldron to dust.

Qianye stood watching from a distance. He was rather surprised at this unprecedented treasure—it was able to block the Spider Queen’s attack and Lilith’s pincer assault. It could even sacrifice its own mass to block powerful attacks. There was no way to threaten Xu Ran without destroying this cauldron.

It seemed like the cauldron could take on two more combined attacks. Xu Ran possessed seven such treasures, no wonder he was so arrogant.

The three combatants made it look easy, but they were actually controlling earth-shattering forces in a tiny space. Those below the great dark monarch realm would be pulverized upon approaching.

Xu Ran finally looked serious. He had just noticed that he had underestimated the supremes’ true strength. With a loud roar, he drew on his bow and fired two arrows in succession at the Queen of the Night!

The first arrow struck Lilith’s chest and the second nailed itself in her forehead!

No one knew where this bow had come from, but even the Queen of the Night couldn’t evade its shots. Even at this point, Lilith didn’t retreat—she pushed out another moon despite the injury, shrinking the cauldron once again. The treasure was finally on the verge of collapse.

Xu Ran clenched his jaws and grabbed at the air, conjuring a wisp of flaming light. He drew another arrow and ignited it with the flames, then fired at Lilith’s blood core!

This one was a split second slower than the previous ones.

Lilith was dragged a thousand meters away by dark golden blood energy. Qianye appeared in her place, stopping the incoming projectile with the dark intent in his palms.

The arrow shot into the darkness, but the flames didn’t extinguish. Instead, the raging flames burned up the darkness Qianye had released. The latter retreated swiftly and watched as the two forces consumed one another.

Xu Ran fired two more arrows at the Spider Queen who withdrew rapidly after taking the hits.

Another arrow appeared in Xu Ran’s hands. He glanced at his surroundings, saying, “Who wants this?”

The surroundings went silent for a moment.

Xu Ran’s arrows were excessively tyrannical, capable of injuring a supreme in two shots and would probably kill them with a third. None of the other great dark monarchs could take the blow.

Xu Ran felt frustrated. If Empress Li hadn’t deprived him of one arrow, he wouldn’t need to resort to intimidation tactics. He could simply kill the two supremes. With those two gone, the only true enemy left would be Qianye. With all those treasures in hand, there was no need for him to fear a sinner.

A blazing stream appeared in the air, raining fire upon the cauldron’s barrier. The screen wavered under the bombardment and almost looked like it would collapse.

The Wolf Sovereign’s figure appeared in the air, holding the Tempest firmly in his hands as he fired rapidly! The Tempest was known for its unparalleled firepower and was the most suited for battering fortified positions. In the Wolf Sovereign’s hands, the weapon dealt even more damage to the barrier than the Spider Queen.

“Courting death!” Xu Ran’s eyes lit up with the flames of anger, and the next moment, that last arrow had pierced the Wolf Sovereign’s chest!

The Tempest came to a sudden stop as the werewolf slowly turned into the dust.

The Wolf Sovereign glanced down at the gaping hole in his chest and realized that his heart was gone. Understanding his fate, he glanced toward Qianye.

The latter nodded.

The werewolf monarch revealed a satisfied expression, although he looked a bit regretful when he glanced one last time at the Sacred Mountain.

The Wolf Sovereign’s tall frame collapsed beside the Tempest.

Qianye clenched his fist tightly, but his hands relaxed after a moment.

Seeing the cauldron’s light still holding out, Xu Ran heaved a sigh of relief. He was just about to speak when he noticed someone had appeared from the palace below. Before him, mountains would split open and the stars would make way.

While Xu Ran was shocked, that person took a step forward and threw a punch at the light barrier!

A crisp sound echoed through the air as the cauldron shattered into pieces.

“D-Didn’t you take the medicine?!” Xu Ran could hardly believe his eyes.

“It’s not so hard to suppress its effects. I only have enough power for one punch, and this is my present to you.”

Zhang Boqian’s origin power receded like the tides.

That did little to diminish Xu Ran’s surprise. He had never heard of anyone in the Immortal Heaven capable of circulating origin power under the same circumstances, let alone attack at full force.

What exactly was going on here?

As someone with a thousand years of cultivation, he eventually recovered from the shock. “Jian, kill him!”

Zhang Boqian retreated a hundred meters in a single step. Jian’s figure followed him like a shadow and made ready to slash!

It was at this time that a refined man appeared behind the heavenly monarch. “Why would you keep forcing our hand?”

This person dragged Zhang Boqian behind him as he faced off against the giant blade.

Jian let out a burst of sinister laughter. “You’re nothing compared to us!” The words ‘Heavenly Weapon: Vanquisher of Evil’ appeared on the sword as he swung it down!
