Chapter 416: No Need to Worry About It
“Boom!”
The floating island of the Li Family shook violently, followed by a crack in the ground that released an incredibly eerie aura.
Everyone instinctively looked over and suddenly froze, as they saw a familiar object emerge!
The object was entirely black, only two or three zhang tall, resembling a miniature version of the Li Family Sacred Forbidden Weapon from the Profound Sky Hall.
“Hiss…”
Many people collectively gasped; could this also be…
After staring for a moment, Jade Linglong couldn’t help but laugh.
“What a clumsy imitation!”
“Whether who’s more clumsy is still uncertain.”
The Little Demoness mocked from afar.
“Since we’re at it, let the Profound Sky Hall receive a strike from our Sacred Forbidden Weapon!”
“Swish!”
With a soft sound and a wisp of white smoke, the Supreme Venerated One version of the Sacred Forbidden Weapon was launched.
This scene made the strong warriors of the Profound Sky Hall laugh uproariously.
“The launch power is so weak; it’s definitely just a toy!”
However, before the words were finished, the black arrow suddenly accelerated in mid-air, buzzing as it pierced into the clouds.
The laughter immediately ceased.
“Still laughing?”
The Little Demoness relished seeing these people get humiliated and pressed on.
“What’s so great about it? Can it fly? In the entire Central Continent, any tool/weapon creator can make a weapon of this level; who knows how far this thing can fly?”
Jade Linglong retorted, her face showing calmness.
Yet, before she could finish, the crowd felt a prickling sensation on their scalps. Before they could react, something flew over their heads, followed by a violent sonic boom.
“That thing… it can’t be, right?”
Someone murmured, waking from a daze.
“I saw it; that thing is black and identical to what the Li Family launched!”
With this statement, everyone present was stunned.
Within a few breaths, someone suddenly cried out.
“Wait, wait… this doesn’t make sense! Isn’t that thing’s speed too strange? It can’t be a trick, right?”
It was only now that people started to realize.
The Ascension Platform was a full thirteen hundred miles away from the Li Family, and that object took only about twenty breaths of time to fly over their heads.
Doesn’t that mean its speed has reached fifty miles in a breath!
If the power is sufficient, it just needs a hundred breaths to reach the Profound Sky Hall directly!
Calculating this in their minds, even Jade Linglong found it hard to believe!
That thing was nearly ten times faster than the Sacred Forbidden Weapon of the Profound Sky Hall!
“Quick, track it!”
She promptly issued the command, urging her subordinates to adjust the Heavenly Dao Image to try and lock onto the Supreme Venerated One version of the Sacred Forbidden Weapon.
But soon after, she saw the awkward expressions on her subordinates’ faces.
“What’s wrong?”
“Palace Master, that thing is too fast; we simply can’t keep up!”
“How can that be?”
“Palace Master, please calm down. From our observations, although that thing is fast, it’s flying higher and higher. It’s likely to directly overshoot the Profound Sky Hall and won’t be able to accurately hit the target.”
Hearing this, Jade Linglong finally relaxed.
“I see, so it’s an imprecise object. Then we don’t need to worry about it!”
As she said this, she had already made plans in her heart. After annihilating the Li Family, she would definitely capture all the tool/weapon creators alive.
The method for creating such a high-speed Sacred Forbidden Weapon must be in the hands of the Profound Sky Hall!
Just then, a shocked exclamation brought her back from her pleasant fantasies.
“Report to the Palace Master, we’ve locked onto the object’s trajectory again!”
“Where is it?”
“Right above our Profound Sky Hall!”
Upon hearing this, Jade Linglong felt as if her whole body had been electrified. She couldn’t help but feel her scalp tingle, her limbs felt numb, and she heavily slapped that person.
“Weren’t you saying it would fly past? How do you explain this now?”
“I… I don’t know! Who would have thought that thing would suddenly hover and then change direction, crashing down at a vertical angle towards the Profound Sky Hall!”
The report person covered his face, feeling very wronged.
In his long life, he had never encountered such a bizarre situation.
“How far from the ground now?”
“Five hundred miles…”
“Oh… that’s still a distance; it should be enough time for the guards to react…”
However, before she could finish, her mouth dropped open, her entire being froze.
She realized she had made a counterintuitive mistake.
With the speed of the Li Family’s Sacred Forbidden Weapon, from diving down to hitting the target, it wouldn’t even take ten breaths!
“This is bad!”
Those two words instantly appeared in her mind, but she quickly tried to comfort herself.
That thing was so fast and small; its power must be limited. Even if the Profound Sky Hall intercepted it from the ground, they likely wouldn’t incur too much loss.
“No need to worry about it!”
Upon thinking this, Jade Linglong chose to lay back. She couldn’t believe the dignified Profound Sky Hall would be blown apart by this little thing.
…
Meanwhile, on the ground of the Profound Sky Hall, the trained guards noticed a small black dot plummeting from above.
Using the Heavenly Dao Image, they quickly reacted.
“Not good! It’s a Sacred Forbidden Weapon; hurry, intercept it!”
He merely waved his hand, looked up again, and that thing had arrived.
At this point, all he could do was shout…
“Ouch, I—”
The initial sound came out, but the following syllables were completely drowned out by the blazing light and violent roaring sound!
How powerful was this strike?
Though it couldn’t compare with the Sacred Forbidden Weapon of the Profound Sky Hall, it was still five or six times stronger…
One solid hit was better than six weak hits!
On the Ascension Platform, despite being nearly four thousand miles away from the Profound Sky Hall, everyone could see a dazzling point of light wildly flashing in that direction without needing to use the Heavenly Dao Image.
It was like a firefly in the night, impossible to ignore.
Then, a massive, mushroom-like cloud of dust arose, soaring higher and expanding wider until everyone in the Central Continent could clearly see it!
“This can’t be real…”
Jade Linglong murmured, her eyes losing part of their brilliance.
“Palace Master… the damage report has already come in…”
“I don’t want to hear it!”
She shook her head vigorously, beginning to escape reality. From the expression on the reporter’s face, it was evident that the Profound Sky Hall had definitely taken a massive hit.
“This…”
The reporter was speechless too, never expecting that one strike would destroy one-twentieth of the Profound Sky Hall’s area, resulting in unmeasurable losses!
Furthermore, two low-level Sages were killed, one Intermediate Sage was heavily injured and unable to recover in a short time, and more than ten Semi-Sage strong warriors were affected and perished!
“Follow my orders…”
After a string of heavy breaths, Jade Linglong finally said with a trembling voice.
“Launch all Sacred Forbidden Weapons! No matter the cost, we must completely annihilate the Li Family today!”
She was genuinely scared now, her heart palpitating, trembling uncontrollably.
At this point, her face and dignity no longer mattered; it had become a matter of survival for the Profound Sky Hall and could not be taken lightly.
“But… Palace Master…”
“There’s no ‘buts’! Launch immediately! Not a second of delay!”
Jade Linglong said impatiently.
“Palace Master, what I mean is, we can’t launch immediately!”
“Why not?”
“Because… the power of the Sacred Forbidden Weapons is too great, and the load on the launching devices is too high. After the last activation, the launching devices are currently in an overheated cooling state!”
Upon saying this, Jade Linglong’s pupils constricted suddenly.
She knew the Profound Sky Hall only had five launching devices, which should have sufficed and could even exceed, but never expected things would develop to this point.
“How long until it cools down completely?”
“At least two hundred breaths!”
This figure was despairing, making Jade Linglong feel as if hit by five thunders.
During this time, the Li Family’s Sacred Forbidden Weapons could launch two attacks!
“Hahaha…”
The cheerful laughter of the Little Demoness echoed in her mind.
“Ahh… it seems you’re in trouble; now it’s my turn!”
