"Hold on!"
"Don't be rash. Look at that ten thousand zhang golden body. It must be condensed by some secret technique. With every move, it can influence the fortune of an era. Such a powerful strike is beyond what you or I can bear."
Man Yun pulled Man Jin, who was holding a battle axe, and shook his head. "Never act rashly. The Great Han Dynasty has several top-tier venerables, and each one is a hero among men. No venerables in the Eastern Wilderness can resist them."
"You..."
Man Jin glared at Man Yun in anger.
"Ooom~"
At this moment, Yang Hao condensed the Great Emperor's golden body, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, and channeling the fortune of the Great Han Dynasty. His strength had long since climbed to the realm of a top-tier venerable, the peak of top-tier venerables. With a single sword strike, no one could resist.
Yang Hao closed his eyes, sensing the fluctuations of elemental energy above the near sea, meticulously investigating how Man Jin and Man Yun traveled from the Southern Barbarians to the near seas of the Eastern Wilderness Continent.
After the Great Han Dynasty unified the Eastern Wilderness Continent, Yuan Tiangang traversed the void through the Migao Path, tirelessly patrolling all directions. He identified the colossal teleportation arrays of the demon race and discovered three teleportation arrays leading directly to the Southern Barbarian Route in the clan lands of the Sword God Holy Land in the Eastern Spirit Realm.
Upon receiving the imperial decree from Yang Hao, Yuan Tiangang destroyed the three teleportation arrays, thus severing the connection between the Eastern Wilderness Continent and the Southern Barbarian Continent.
The barbarians of the Southern Barbarians, like the demon race, now had to cross the vast, boundless sea, spanning tens of thousands of miles, to descend upon the Eastern Wilderness Continent. Even a top-tier venerable would take a month or so.
Now that the Eastern Wilderness was unified, and only a few days had passed since the fall of the Sword God Holy Land, it was incredible that they had reached the near seas of the Eastern Wilderness Continent so quickly. It was likely that barbarian tribes were still active on this vast ocean.
"There!"
Suddenly, Yang Hao detected a reef with residual elemental energy fluctuations and a strong barbarian aura.
"Not good!"
Two golden dragons shot out from Yang Hao's eyes, instantly crossing ten thousand miles of sea. Following the direction of their disappearance, it was where the teleportation arrays were located.
Man Yun's face changed. "Man Jin, stop him quickly!"
"Human!"
At the same moment Man Yun roared, Man Jin's giant axe slashed down with a roar. The axe light flashed with divine radiance, creating an immeasurable rift, intending to shatter the two golden dragons.
The axe light covered the sky, its sharpness capable of tearing apart top-tier venerables, suppressing the azure sea into a bottomless chasm.
"Yang Hao, you brat, if you dare to destroy my barbarian grand array, I will exterminate your descendants and destroy your divine artifact today!"
Man Yun's arms were like reinforced Qilin. With a punch, he struck the void, shaking the nine heavens and churning the sea. Lightning surged and crackled on his hardened fist. The nine heavens cracked, and the lightning seemed intent on devouring the ten thousand zhang golden body.
The strike of a top-tier venerable, their might far more terrifying than that of Jian Dong and others. The world darkened, and the boundless seawater above the ocean surged upwards, threatening to drown ten thousand miles of sky.
"Suppress!"
Yang Hao uttered a word, and the chaotic elemental energy of heaven and earth instantly stopped its rampage. The ten thousand zhang waves of the sea cascaded down, and layer upon layer of spray absorbed the terrifying elemental energy.
Man Jin's axe light ultimately failed to shatter the two golden dragons. The teleportation array shattered, but the dragons continued their descent, sweeping through dozens of miles of sea and destroying five teleportation arrays leading directly to the Southern Barbarian Continent.
"Yang Hao, you brat, I will kill you!"
Seeing all the teleportation arrays shattered one after another, the arrangements of the barbarian race, meticulously planned for millions of years, were all destroyed. From now on, if the barbarian race wanted to attack the Eastern Wilderness Continent, it would come at a considerable cost.
Yang Hao gripped the Xuanyuan Sword and coldly looked at Man Yun and Man Jin. Channeling the fortune of the Great Han Dynasty, he unleashed a top-tier venerable strike, which was the absolute limit that the Cangyuan World could withstand.
"Ooom~"
"Clang!"
With a rumble, several golden sword lights shot out from the scabbard of the Xuanyuan Sword. Following this, everything in the eastern sea of the Eastern Wilderness Continent vanished from the sight of Man Yun and Man Jin.
The two saw only heaven and earth filled with golden flowing light, with occasional dragon roars echoing in their ears. The divine sun extinguished, and all things were submerged!
"Boom!"
"Hissing!!"
Yang Hao instantly drew the Xuanyuan Sword from his waist. The sword light traversed ten thousand miles. As the divine sword swept across the sea surface, the entire heaven and earth split open about one zhang above the sea surface. Dense electric light crackled on the cracks, constantly repairing the fractured void.
"No~~"
Man Jin roared, his eyes devoid of any light, filled only with golden flowing streams. If not for his consciousness remaining, Man Jin would not have known what he had experienced until his death.
The top-tier venerable Man Jin perished. The remaining golden sword, carrying the ultimate sword intent, pierced towards Man Yun behind Man Jin!
"Puff~~"
As the long sword descended, Man Yun's chest cracked, and two-thirds of his heart was cleaved off. However, this powerful sword energy, two-thirds of which fell upon Man Jin, only a third reached him.
Swallowing a pill, the calm Man Yun stabilized his injuries. The moment the golden flowing light disappeared, he was blinded. Relying on his spiritual sense, he grabbed Man Jin's battle axe and frantically fled towards the end of the sea.
With a single sword strike, the top-tier venerable Man Jin perished. If Man Jin had not shielded him, Man Yun would have also died on the spot.
In a few breaths, Man Yun vanished from Yang Hao's sight.
Yang Hao looked at the sea, where myriad sea beasts surfaced, madly devouring Man Jin's venerable blood. The beasts fought over the blood, and the sea rolled with crimson.
Yang Hao closed his eyes, meticulously searching for Man Yun's trace. Top-tier venerables moved extremely fast. This was the near sea of the Great Han Dynasty's eastern waters. In a few breaths, Man Yun had already escaped the Great Han Dynasty's territory. After several searches, there was no trace.
Yang Hao opened his eyes and looked at the sea again. The ten thousand zhang golden body gradually dissipated.
Above the boundless sea, Man Yun feebly clung to a reef, his elemental energy completely depleted.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
"Great Han, hahaha, Great Han..."
Man Yun said coldly, "Great Priest, as you predicted, what we saw of the Great Han was merely the veiled facade of the Great Han Human Emperor. The Great Han Human Emperor is the ultimate supreme venerable of the Great Han Dynasty!"
"The Human Emperor is the heaven of the Great Han Dynasty!"
"To have reached the realm of a top-tier venerable at such a young age, with immense, boundless lifespan, he will surely protect the Great Han Dynasty for a million years without decline!"
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
...
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for channeling the fortune of the Great Han Dynasty and unleashing a top-tier venerable cleanse. You have successfully killed the top-tier venerable Man Jin and obtained 1.5 million kill points!"
"Ding! The host's accumulated kill points total eighty million fifty thousand!"
