2156 The Great Oracle of the Heaven Divination Sec The palm the size of a small hill slapped downward with peerless force. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Explosions rang in the wake of the palm. It was thunderously loud. Apart from that, it seemed to have covered the sun and the sky like dark clouds. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! When the palm landed, explosions rang in the air again. It was the sound of people from various forces around Zhong Chen turning into a mist of blood. Those people did not manage to avoid the palm attack in time. The mist of blood lingered in the air with some remnants in it like red roses! In just a blink of an eye, more than a dozen Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses from various forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land had died without a corpse! Among those Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses who died, some had broken through to the Fourth or Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, when faced with the palm attack, they could not even defend against it nor did they have time to evade it. Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! As the Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses turned into a mist of blood, the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword Zhong Chen carried on his back had been unsheathed. It flew up and formed a tight sword web above him. The sword web hung in the sky and emitted a piercing Sword Qi that seemed as though it could destroy everything it encountered! The black robe Zhong Chen wore fluttered in the air as a tense expression appeared on his wickedly handsome face. The Saint Origin in his body surged out unreservedly. He had unleashed all the defensive Martial Tactics and defensive Divine Ability that he had mastered. Sword Wielding Heaven and Earth! When Zhong Chen cast that move, he had managed to nullified the attack that contained the full force of a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was only slightly injured. However, he had depleted most of his Saint Origin. Rumble! A thunderous noise rang in the air again. It was from the palm that fell from the sky earlier. After killing more than a dozen of Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses, it landed on the sword web above Zhong Chen. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of explosions rang in the air again. The destructive force of the palm landed on the sword web repeatedly as it tried to break its defense. The sword web had also weakened under the repeated attacks from the palm. Zhong Chen seemed to have sensed something as his expression changed dramatically. The palm had broken through the defense of his sword web and landed on him. “No!” Although the sword web had absorbed most of the force from the palm, its remaining force was still quite strong. When it landed on Zhong Chen, it sent him flying and smashing down somewhere in the huge valley. Boom! Rumble! Along with the earth-shattering noise, the whole valley quaked. At the same time, the force from the palm seemed to be completely depleted. At this moment, the crowd, including Cheng Yi Kai, regained their senses and gasped. They had not even seen this person but he had already killed more than a dozen Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses with just one palm strike! Even the Black-Robed Swordsman, Zhong Chen, a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who was ranked 27th on the Supreme Saint Ranking, was completely defenseless before him! They knew very well in their hearts that after the palm had landed on Zhong Chen, even if he was not dead, he would be severely injured! Hu! A gust of wind blew past everyone, shocking Cheng Yi Kai and the others. In the next moment, a person appeared before them. It was an old man shrouded in a long black robe. The old man was tall and had a sturdy body. Although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes shone with hostility. Since he appeared, he stood motionlessly like a statue. “It’s...” Cheng Yi Kai who was astute noticed a scarlet skull embroidered on the chest area of the robe the old man wore. His eyes widened as he began to tremble. It was as though he had seen something terrifying. The others were looking at the old man warily when a weak but respectful voice called out, “Great Oracle!” It was Zhong Chen who was sent crashing into the valley by the palm. He was dragging himself up. Currently, his appearance was no longer as handsome as before. He was covered in mud and dirt. As Zhong Chen rose in the air, he looked at the man warily and fearfully. “Y-you personally came...” He was very respectful when he spoke to the old man even though the old man had severely injured him! He did not dare to show even the slightest hint of disrespect. “Since you managed to survive the attack from my palm, I’ll spare your life today!” Although Zhong Chen had spoken respectfully, the old man whom he had addressed as Great Oracle did not even spare him a glance before he sneered and flew away. “Thank you, Great Oracle.” Zhong Chen sighed in relief when he heard the Great Oracle’s words. If the other party intended to kill him, he would be defenseless even if he had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. After a few moments, the old man landed near Cheng Yi Kai. When Cheng Yi Kai saw this, he hurriedly moved away. He feared he would offend the old man for blocking his way. The old man’s strength had struck fear into Cheng Yi Kai as well. It’s really the Great Oracle!’ Cheng Yi Kai shuddered inwardly. He realized his speculation was right. This old man was the Heaven Divination Sect’s Great Oracle! He was also the strongest person in the Heaven Divination Sect! The Heaven Divination Sect’s Great Oracle was someone whose cultivation base had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. His position on the Supreme Saint Ranking was only below Nie Wu Tian, the strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land, and another person. He was ranked third on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was one of the top powerhouses who stood at the apex of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Weng! The sound of saber’s cry rang in the air, and Cheng Yi Kai and Zhong Chen saw a flash before their eyes. The old man casually swung his saber and tore an opening in the space barrier. In just a blink of an eye, he moved and disappeared inside. “H-he entered the space?!” The crowd was dumbstruck when they saw the old man’s actions. Meanwhile, a few people who had regained their senses muttered to themselves, “Earlier, Lord Zhong Chen addressed that senior as Great Oracle, right? Great Oracle is a title that’s not lightly given in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, right?” “Zhong Chen used to be in the Heaven Divination Sect. That senior’s so strong... He must be the Great Oracle of the Heaven Divination Sect, Mo Xuan!” “Lord Mo Xuan?!” “It should be him! Apart from him, I can’t imagine anyone else who can kill more than a dozen Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses and injuring a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who’s ranked 27th on the Supreme Saint Ranking with just one palm strike before even revealing himself!” “Mo Xuan, the Great Oracle of Heaven Divination Sect. The strongest person in Heaven Divination Sect... The powerhouse who’s ranked third on the Supreme Saint Ranking. One of the peerless powerhouses currently living in the Dao Martial Saint Land!” Peerless powerhouses were what people respectfully addressed the people who had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Those who were present were shocked to their cores when they discovered the identity of the old man. At the same time, they felt curious. They were curious if the Great Oracle from the Heaven Divination Sect would survive unscathed from the trap that was left behind by three Eminent Celestials. The force from the Formation in that trap had even damaged the defensive Super Saint Weapon, the Boundless Bell. Moreover, it even caused Pei Si Hai to lose an arm even with the protection of the Boundless Bell! “I’m not sure if Lord Mo Xuan will be able to come out unharmed!” “I’m sure he’ll be able to! Lord Mo Xuan isn’t only the Great Oracle from the Heaven Divination Sect and the strongest person in the Heaven Divination Sect. He’s also the only person alive to have cultivated the Heaven Divination Sect’s defensive Divine Ability to its limit!” “The Heaven Divination Sect’s defensive Divine Ability is an ancient Divine Ability that’s known as the best defensive Divine Ability in Dao Martial Saint Land! With that Divine Ability, the Great Oracle’s defense is definitely stronger than Pei Si Hai and the Boundless Bell.” The crowd whispered among themselves. They seemed confident in the ability of Great Oracle Mo Xuan from the Heaven Divination Sect. Even Cheng Yi Kai and Zhong Chen were curious if Mo Xuan would be able to come out unharmed. At the Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land... Within a valley that was quiet, screams suddenly reverberated in the air. “Su Li! Wake up... Wake up please! I’m your master. Look! I’m your master, Sword 13!” The screams were loud and laced with anxiety and helplessness. Sou! Sou! Two rapid sounds of wind-whistling in the air sounded as two figures flew across the valley. However, the speed of the pursuer was much faster than the person fleeing. In just a blink of an eye, the pursuer caught up with the person in front of him. The person who was fleeing was a middle-aged man. He was in a terrible state as though he had just escaped torture. The pursuer was a handsome young man. He had a pair of sword-shaped brows and bright eyes. It should have made him look heroic. However, he was currently shrouded in Devil Qi. Moreover, it was pure Devil Qi. Such pure Devil Qi could not have possibly belonged to an ordinary Devil Cultivator. That was not all. The young man’s eyes were blood- red. It was cold, piercing, and devoid of any emotions. Xiu! The young man waved his right and the three-foot-long blade in hand disappeared instantly. The only thing that remained was a sword’s cry.
