The Longbow, combined with the Demon Slayer Arrow and powered by the Immortal King's realm, unleashed a tremendous force. One only needed to look at the long black river trailing from the arrow's tail to understand its might. The two elements together carved a spatial tunnel in the void.
However, this spatial tunnel was highly unstable. The Celestial Realm's space was already quite solid, yet it was still breached by the Demon Slayer Arrow, which created a long fissure in its fabric.
Xiao Yiming, Tao Yunfeng, and the other six screamed in terror as they hastily retreated. This was an arrow meant to wipe out a city! If they did not escape, they would surely be caught in the aftermath of the arrow; even that residual force was beyond their capacity to withstand. In their hearts, they had already branded Zuo Dao and his companions with a mark of certain death.
The Longbow was devoid of life, and this primordial weapon, passed down to Chang He, showcased its power vividly in his hands. After mastering the Demon Slayer Arrow, anyone who faced him met their end without entering reincarnation; their souls were utterly obliterated.
Endless killing intent forged the Longbow, and in turn, the Longbow created the Immortal King Chang He.
Chang He's appearance this time came at a great cost to the Dark Realm. They had somehow learned that Chang He encountered issues while refining the Second Arrow, the Lethal Immortal Arrow, and coincidentally possessed something that could resolve this problem.
The Four Arrows: Demon Slayer Arrow, Lethal Immortal Arrow, Trapping Arrow, Absolute Immortal Arrow—each arrow more difficult and powerful than the last. It was said that after mastering all four arrows, the Master of the Tongue could single-handedly defy fate; had it not been for a Great Power intervening to suppress him, there would have been no immortals left in the Celestial Realm.
Though Chang He lacked the gifts of the Master of the Tongue, achieving mastery over the Demon Slayer Arrow made him a formidable monster nonetheless.
The defenses of Liu Yue City seemed to sense an impending threat; a green light began to emanate from the entire city as the Great Formation activated without regard for consumption.
One arrow to slay immortals—another arrow comes. Chang He held a seemingly plain jade-colored longbow that appeared in the void.
Under normal circumstances, he would never dare to shoot such an arrow at an entire city; this was also one of his conditions for taking action. Liu Yue City had now become a ghost town; as long as there were no significant casualties, it would suffice to provide an explanation to the other Immortal Kings within the Great Celestial Domain.
Although Chang He was proud, he understood he had not yet reached an invincible realm. Unless he perfected all four arrows, he would remain just another ruler among many; even if he destroyed a city or an entire continent, no one would dare utter a word against him.
The defenses of Liu Yue City struggled like a girl fighting for her life; they achieved no effect and were easily torn apart by the Demon Slayer Arrow.
Even with Zuo Dao standing at the forefront, Zhao Yanwu, Xian Lan, Yan Sui Fa, Chen Yang, and others were still spitting blood under the pressure of the Demon Slayer Arrow.
Zuo Dao's upper garments were shredded, his fingers drenched in blood. The Hundred-Mile Barrier crumbled layer by layer.
It felt like doomsday or a graveyard's end. Zuo Dao never considered himself arrogant; however, upon witnessing the execution arrow's might, he finally realized how limited his understanding was of this domain and its treasures.
Demon Slayer Arrow was unstoppable, capable of destroying anything in its path, like a king of destruction turning everything along the way into ashes.
Zuo Dao's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes as he fixed his gaze on the trajectory of Demon Slayer Arrow, which appeared to be a direct shot. Yet, a single arrow had sealed off the entire Liu Yue City, leaving them with no escape.
This was undoubtedly the greatest crisis he had ever faced, and Zuo Dao held nothing back. The Xiangsi Sword and Soul-Devouring Blade slashed fiercely toward the arrowhead. However, before they could make contact, both sword and blade shattered into fragments, leaving only the pure essence of Sword Intent.
In the distance, Chang He witnessed this scene and couldn't help but gasp lightly. In his memory, even past opponents who had dared to confront the Extermination Sword had not achieved such a level of power. No wonder Dark Realm had made such a grand request for him to take action.
Yet, despite his astonishment, Demon Slayer Arrow left no room for survival; Chang He merely watched as his opponent faced annihilation beneath his arrow, with little else to consider.
Under the threat of Demon Slayer Arrow, the Divine Lock and Celestial Chain within Zuo Dao began to stir, momentarily loosening its grip on him.
A powerful force erupted from within him, so immense that even his Primordial Five Elements True Martial Body could not withstand it. Cracks appeared on his surface, blood gushed forth, forming a cloud of Blood Mist around him.
In a breath's time, the Extermination had arrived.
From Immortal King Chang He drawing his bow to Zuo Dao forming his stance and unleashing his blades took less than a breath's duration.
The defenses of Liu Yue City shattered, formations crumbled, and both the Xiangsi Sword and Soul-Devouring Sword were destroyed.
The Demon Slayer Arrow descended like a meteor upon the world. A sense of death lingered over everyone’s heads, their hearts turned to ash.
The fearsome reputation of the Longbow was overwhelming; if not for the elite individuals within the city, many would have lost their minds long before the Extermination Sword arrived. Even so, each person bore significant wounds.
Zuo Dao, drenched in blood, was already battered before the attack even landed.
The shattering of longing and soul took away his restraints once more. He slammed his right palm fiercely against the back of his left hand.
"Come forth!" Zuo Dao roared in fury.
The Wangfeng Platform surged forth at an unprecedented speed, meeting the Demon Slayer Arrow head-on. In a moment of dire urgency, the Wangfeng Platform barely managed to intercept the arrow.
There was no thunderous sound, nor were there dazzling colors.
The two entities embraced each other tightly, like long-lost lovers reunited.
As soon as the Wangfeng Platform appeared, it shot up thousands of meters, erecting an invincible barrier in front of Zuo Dao and his companions.
The Demon Slayer Arrow struck the Wangfeng Platform as if it had been shot into a vast ocean, its entire shaft sinking into the platform.
Connected to the Wangfeng Platform was Zuo Dao, who felt his mind struck by lightning as the Demon Slayer Arrow penetrated the platform's body, causing him to cough up blood.
Yet he endured the immense pain and, in that critical moment when the arrow embedded itself into the peak, he laid down layers of Restrictions atop the Wangfeng Platform.
At that instant when the Wangfeng Platform emerged from Zuo Dao, Immortal King Chang He lost his composure.
"Nine Monoliths!? Impossible! How could this object possibly appear in the Celestial Realm? This is utterly inconceivable."
He muttered repeatedly, unable to believe that such a thing could exist in this domain. Hadn't such a reverse artifact already perished from the world?
If he had known that Zuo Dao possessed this treasure, he would have never accepted this deal, even at the cost of his life.
He had dared to accept Dark Realm's invitation because he was alone and unafraid of their vengeance; it was also because Dark Realm promised to clear out Liu Yue City for him. He just never expected that this object would appear here, and in the hands of someone he intended to kill.
Had it not been for his knowledge of this item's origins, he might have suspected that Dark Realm had set a trap specifically for him.
At that moment, Zuo Dao also experienced the Immortal King's power firsthand. The Demon Slayer Arrow's inherent might was completely absorbed by the Wangfeng Platform, but the will of the Immortal King contained within the arrow was still assaulting his mind.
Even though he was a Supreme True Martial Body and possessed divine soul and spirit, at that moment he felt an overwhelming wave of agony wash over him.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was petrified, standing frozen in place. What was supposed to be a certain death situation had unexpectedly been resolved by the unremarkable White-Clad Monk summoning a treasure resembling a mountain peak.
The cost was merely a torn piece of clothing, countless wounds on his body, and a few mouthfuls of blood.
Could it be any more outrageous?
Everyone internally lamented; that was Longbow! That was Demon Slayer Arrow! That was Immortal King Chang He!
At least put on an appearance of being gravely injured, for goodness' sake!
But while everyone was thinking this, Zuo Dao had no mind to pay attention. He sensed that Wangfeng Platform was refining the Demon Slayer Arrow.
How could one treasure actively refine another? Zuo Dao suddenly felt his brain was insufficient, but he quickly realized that no matter how it was refined, it still belonged to him. It wasn't as if Wangfeng Platform was being refined by Demon Slayer Arrow.
At that moment, Chang He also sensed something was amiss. Failing to kill his opponent with a single arrow had already left him incredulous, and the appearance of that object only intensified his shock. What truly shook him was the realization that his connection to Demon Slayer Arrow was weakening.
Only he knew that among the Four Arrows, only Longbow had truly been refined by him; the other three arrows were merely temporarily refined, and only Demon Slayer Arrow at that. Now that Demon Slayer Arrow was being refined by someone else, how could he not feel astonished?
This inevitably reminded him of the words on the front page of Treasury of the Arcane:
"Who can compete when the path is blocked? The Nine Monoliths stabilize the world; I alone am immortal!"
Longbow was indeed the true Longbow, while Nine Monoliths were not complete. However, without the four arrows of Exterminate Immortals, Slay Immortals, Trap Immortals, and Absolute Immortals, Longbow was just an ordinary bow.
And he, who had not truly refined the four arrows, existed merely as a half-master of Longbow.
What kind of cultivator was that? Why did he possess Nine Monoliths? Although they weren't complete Nine Monoliths, their completeness exceeded half. More importantly, that cultivator had completely refined them.
At this moment, all thoughts of trading were cast aside. The rapidly recovering Chang He immediately turned his gaze toward Xiao Yiming and the other six, with murderous intent unmistakably evident in his eyes.
The appearance of the Nine Monoliths forced him to make a choice, as clearly recorded in the Treasury of the Arcane.
The Nine Monoliths were something that even the Master of the Tongue feared; they were a treasure that the Master of the Tongue did not wish to confront. Although the ancient texts did not provide explicit details, Chang He could sense the Master of the Tongue's intentions.
This was an object that even the ancient Great Power feared, something beyond his current capabilities to contend with. Even in the future, he would not have such an opportunity.
With a decisive mind, Chang He gritted his teeth and summoned a second arrow once more.
The Lethal Immortal Arrow.
As soon as it was summoned, the space around the arrow began to shatter. Just one arrow possessed immense power. Fortunately, he had demanded payment from the Dark Realm in advance, which allowed him the chance to unleash this arrow.
Zuo Dao and others witnessed this scene, their hearts sinking again as they felt a renewed tension, though Zuo Dao remained focused on the Wangfeng Platform.
"It’s still a bit forced," Chang He thought as he struggled slightly while drawing back the bowstring. Even so, hitting a few ants would be sufficient. With that thought in mind, he gradually raised his Longbow.
The Longbow, not particularly large, felt like it weighed a ton in the hands of this Immortal King.
After pulling it back halfway, Chang He released the bowstring.
The arrow transformed into six radiant beams and shot toward its target.
