Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1270 - 875 Sacrificing life for justice

Confucian sacred artifacts were so powerful that, had there been no limitations on their use by everyone, wouldn’t that make one invincible?

Although the First Emperor was strong, ultimately he was not a member of the Confucian sect and could not unleash the full power of the Spring and Autumn Brush.

Thus, at this time, he needed someone to provide him with a constant stream of overwhelming righteousness to activate the full power of the Spring and Autumn Brush.

But from where did this overwhelming righteousness come? It is the foundation of the Confucian Dao, naturally originating from the bodies of Confucians.

On the surface, the First Emperor burned books and buried Confucians alive, but in reality, he gathered all the power of the Confucians to provide himself with overwhelming righteousness.

Over the years, the overwhelming righteousness gathered within the city of Xianyang had become sufficient for the First Emperor to squander for a long time.

"For the sake of scheming against Jiuyuan and the other two Dao friends, King Yu really went to great lengths. He started laying out his plans so early that even his own demise was part of the scheme," lamented the unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent. The most crucial part of the entire plan was the demise of the First Emperor. If the First Emperor did not die, his plan, no matter how exquisite, would not have deceived the trio from Jiuyuan.

But with the demise of the First Emperor, it stirred restlessness in the trio, making them feel safe and lowering their guard, which led them right into the trap.

The expressions on the faces of the three from Jiuyuan were very ugly, not only because they had fallen into the First Emperor’s scheme, but also because they foresaw the danger.

Great Divine Transcendents had an extremely acute sense of danger. At the slightest hint of something amiss, they would detect it in advance; otherwise, the First Emperor would not have left his trump card outside.

As the First Emperor’s plan unfolded, the hearts of the three Great Divine Transcendents from Jiuyuan sensed a tremendous warning, with the shadow of death approaching them.

At the same time, they also realized that their futures were rapidly becoming bleak, no longer bright, losing all their luster. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The myriad possibilities were quickly merging together, gradually evolving into a path leading to death.

This was a sign of impending demise, indicating that what they were facing was a life-and-death calamity unprecedented, and if they could not overcome it, they would truly perish here.

"King Yu, you are already dead, so what if you hold the Spring and Autumn Brush?"

"One against four, your odds of winning are not high!"

Although they sensed the danger, Jiuyuan and the others did not feel panic. Aside from their gloomy faces, their hearts remained calm.

They had lived too long, faced too many calamities, and life-and-death crises were not unheard of. There was nothing surprising.

Death was not frightening to them; what they truly feared was not death itself. Compared to death, they were more afraid of failing to achieve the Tao.

Thus, they came to Xianyang despite knowing it was dangerous because it held the opportunity for them to achieve the Tao.

"Yes, I have already perished!"

The First Emperor also sighed; being alive felt truly different from being dead in various aspects.

For instance, if he were still alive now, the trio from Jiuyuan would not dare to appear before him, let alone confront him.

"Kill!"

The battle erupted abruptly.

The first to strike was neither the First Emperor nor the trio of Jiuyuan, Xuan Yuan, Guiyi, but rather that unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent.

He shouted explosively, suddenly crossing layers of void, appearing directly in front of the First Emperor, attempting to snatch the Spring and Autumn Brush from his hands.

"Hmm? Courting death!"

The First Emperor furrowed his brows, raised his hand holding the Spring and Autumn Brush, and gently swiped at the unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent.

Instantly, a surge of invisible power of the years spread out, transforming into a long knife enveloped with fragments of years, silently slicing onto the body of the unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent.

Ruthless Years!

Even though this unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent had protected himself with a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure as he made his move, his defense was still as fragile as paper in front of the Power of the Years, easily shattered.

The ruthless power of the years swept past, and the arm of the unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent reaching for the Spring and Autumn Brush was directly severed, falling towards the city of Xianyang below.

"The tip of the Spring and Autumn Brush is truly the sharpest in the world, indeed formidable."

Not succeeding in one strike, the unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent quickly retreated, trying at the same time to reform his arm.

However, to his disappointment, no matter what Divine Ability he used, he was unable to regrow the severed arm. The power of the years lingered at the wound, preventing it from healing.

This was the most formidable aspect of the Spring and Autumn Brush; any wound it caused could never disappear unless a Saint personally used the Power of the Heavenly Dao to erase it over centuries.

Otherwise, its scars would never fade and would continue to affect the wounded.

No solution below Saints!

This was the strength of the Spring and Autumn Brush!

"Kill!"

As the unfamiliar Great Divine Transcendent retreated, Jiuyuan, Xuan Yuan, Guiyi—the three Great Divine Transcendents—also simultaneously attacked the First Emperor.

They positioned themselves according to the Innate three talents, each sacrificing a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure. Mysterious Array Patterns spread from these treasures, gradually connecting into one, forming a mysterious Innate Great Formation.

Boom!

The next moment, a thunderous roar of waves echoed, and endless floods swept forth, continuously emerging from the void like the waters of the Heavenly River pouring in reverse, recreating the great flood of the Distant Ancient Era, threatening to submerge the entire Xianyang, transforming it into a marshland.
