"Perish together? Dream on! Break it for me!"
Nalan Tian roared angrily, frantically channeling spiritual power into the Kingâs Sword, pushing his palm forward with all his might.
The Kingâs Sword suddenly erupted with even more terrifying power, the dazzling golden light unbearably blinding.
"Old Patriarch!" Nalan Xiao and the elders were full of worry and panic, afraid that Nalan Tian would be unable to withstand the dreadful power of the self-detonation.
"Grandpa!" Nalan Ziye was extremely frightened, her palms sweating.
Beside her, Gu Chenfeng comforted, "Donât worry, your grandpa will be fine."
The power of the self-detonation was truly terrifying, filling them with alarm and concern.
On the other hand, the members of the Gao Family.
The faces of Gao Xin and the others were also filled with sorrow and fear.
If the self-detonation was stopped by Nalan Tian, not only would Gao Yuanshan die, but all of the Gao Family would perish.
"Is Nalan Tian insane? Is he not afraid to die? Is he really confident in resisting the power of the self-detonation?" The Patriarch of the Han Family looked at the frenzied Nalan Tian in horror, his body uncontrollably trembling.
"Patriarch! We must leave quickly! Han Fei! Quickly order the clan members to evacuate!" The Great Elder said in extreme panic, also commanding the Han Family members to swiftly flee Sumeru City.
"Buzz Buzz!"
The terrifying power madly impacted, energy fluctuations wildly spreading, causing the space within a thousand-foot radius to violently tremble and explode.
The destructive power was extremely terrifying.
"Nalan Tian, donât underestimate the power of self-detonation!" Gao Yuanshan snarled fiercely, recklessly channeling spiritual power.
Nalan Tian said fearlessly, "Gao Yuanshan, donât forget, you are severely wounded now, wanting to self-detonate in front of me, youâre not qualified!"
In less than a minute, under Nalan Tianâs full-force assault, the terrifying power Gaoyuanshan unleashed was actually being suppressed.
"Damn it! He can actually suppress my self-detonation power!" Gao Yuanshan gritted his teeth and growled, unable to believe that the power of the self-detonation could not defeat Nalan Tian.
Initially wanting to use the self-detonation to perish together, but now this sole method seemed incapable of killing Nalan Tian.
"How could this be?" The Patriarch of the Han Family exclaimed with wide-open eyes, "Nalan Tianâs injuries havenât fully recovered, how can he suppress the power of the self-detonation?"
"Is the realm of the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation truly this powerful?" The Han Family Great Elder said with a trembling voice, feeling like he could hardly breathe.
On the other side.
Seeing Gao Yuanshan being suppressed, Gao Xin was extremely shocked and said, "The Patriarchâs self-detonation power has been suppressed by Nalan Tian!"
"The Patriarchâs power was suppressed..." All the people of the Gao Family were on edge, their hearts filled with extreme fear.
Under Nalan Tianâs full-force assault, Gao Yuanshanâs spiritual power was suppressed, unable to further increase power.
Not only that, the power was instead rapidly diminishing.
Cultivators watching from all around had retreated outside the city by now, holding their breath, their faces filled with intense terror.
The self-detonation of a Divinity Transformation stage expert, they could not even imagine how terrifying it truly was.
"What? Youâre weakening so soon?" Nalan Tian sneered, "Werenât you confident in the power of self-detonation?"
"Damn it!" Gao Yuanshanâs face twisted like a vicious tiger.
"Ha!"
Nalan Tian let out an angry shout, once again erupting with terrifying power. The Kingâs Sword violently struck, forcibly breaking through Gao Yuanshanâs energy defense.
"Puff!"
The self-detonation power Gao Yuanshan had built up rapidly weakened, and then he spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Patriarch!" Gao Xin and others shouted in panic, their hearts pounding wildly.
"If you had started with a self-detonation, you might have had a chance, what a pity, Gao Yuanshan! Rest in peace!" Nalan Tian roared, then slammed a punch onto the sword hilt.
The spinning Kingâs Sword, at the moment of breaking through Gao Yuanshanâs energy defense, added to the thrust of Nalan Tianâs punch, directly pierced through Gao Yuanshanâs chest, blood spurting out.
"How could this happen..." Gao Yuanshanâs eyes widened, unable to believe it.
Gao Yuanshan never thought that the self-detonation would actually fail.
"Itâs done! Gao Yuanshanâs self-detonation power has dissipated!" Nalan Xiao and the elders were overjoyed, finally feeling relieved.
"Patriarch!" Gao Xin and others cried out in panic and despair.
The Patriarch of the Han Family couldnât help but exclaim, "Nalan Tian actually broke through the self-detonation power!"
"Whiz!"
A dazzling golden light pierced through Gao Yuanshanâs chest, then transformed into a golden lightning bolt shooting out, carrying a fearsome aura of piercing heaven and earth.
"Boom Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, several towering peaks outside the city were pierced by the golden lightning, then shattered and collapsed.
Nalan Tianâs full-force strike had already destroyed his nascent soul, his breath rapidly diminishing, and his body then fell.
Not even a Ninth Grade Alchemist could save him.
Gao Yuanshan glared at Nalan Tian, fiercely roaring, "Nalan Tian! I wonât let you go even as a ghost!"
"Then Iâll let you be obliterated!" Nalan Tian shouted, his hand clawing, gathering terrifying power, then reaching towards Gao Yuanshan from a distance.
"Boom!"
Gao Yuanshan, falling down, was blasted apart, body and spirit destroyed.
"Patriarch!" Gao Xin and others called out in grief.
Within the Nalan Familyâs courtyard, the gravely wounded Yang Qingshan was horrified, thinking, "He really killed Gao Yuanshan... I must leave immediately, or Iâll be next."
"Gao Yuanshan is dead..." The Patriarch of the Han Familyâs face was full of deep fear.
"Old Patriarch Nalan is terrifying, to be able to kill the self-detonating head of the Gao Family!"
"With Gao Yuanshan dead, the old Nalan Patriarch will never let the Gao Family go; the Gao Family is truly finished this time!"
"Terrifying! Is this the strength of the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation? Not even the Gao Family head could self-detonate successfully."
The many cultivators outside the city who witnessed Gao Yuanshanâs complete annihilation instantly exploded into an uproar.
Nalan Tianâs sharp gaze swept towards Gao Xin and the others, coldly saying, "Now itâs your turn, for daring to provoke my Nalan Family, you must pay the price!"
Gao Xin roared in grief, "Nalan Tian! Youâve killed our Patriarch and Young Master, what more do you want? Do you really want to exterminate us all?"
"Youâre right! I intend to wipe you out! Utterly destroy your Gao Family!" Nalan Tian shouted, then reached out, causing the Kingâs Sword to shoot forward.
Enormous killing intent erupted, as Nalan Tian held the Kingâs Sword and charged out.
Nalan Tian was really going to wipe them out.
But just as Nalan Tian made his move, Yang Qingshan in the courtyard seized the chance to escape.
He had to flee the Nalan Family before Nalan Tian finished off the Gao Family experts.
But unfortunately, the moment Yang Qingshan tried to escape, he suddenly felt his body trapped, unable to move.
A domineering and terrifying ice attribute power rapidly spread through the courtyard.
"Ice Attribute!" Yang Qingshanâs old face changed dramatically, hurriedly looking up at Gu Chenfeng in the sky.
"Old fool, I never said you could leave." Gu Chenfeng sneered coldly, "I heard you come from the Artifact Refining Pavilion, coincidentally, I also know someone from there, and Iâve already summoned him, donât you want to see who it is?"
