Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Survival Is The Most Basic Need

72 laser beams shot toward Wei Huo. The Great Ancestor stood in the sky above the formation and controlled the bronze cauldron with all his might. He obviously possessed a mystical technique. Green runes appeared on the bronze cauldron. They were so powerful that they could suppress Wei Huo.

However, Wei Huo roared and unleashed his domain, making it cover the entire array. The cauldron swayed and cut off the connection with the Great Ancestor’s Divine Sense. Wei Huo hid in the cauldron and used it to block the 72 laser beams.

The 72 laser beams hit the cauldron and produced a deafening sound.

If one’s luck was too strong, there would be a calamity.

Wei Huo had just obtained a large amount of luck and killed his way through the tower. Due to his strong luck, he had obtained a good reward. He was also a Domain Realm expert who could suppress luck. That was why he had encountered the formation set up by the Naga the moment he had exited the pagoda.

The same applied to the Naga. Over the past 200 years, they had been reproducing, and their luck had been getting stronger. More and more members of the Naga Race had appeared, and powerful beings had emerged. However, they had encountered Wei Huo at that moment.

According to a principle, the weak necessarily grew strong and the strong necessarily became weak at their peak. The same applied to humans, nations, species, and civilizations.

When two colossi with powerful luck collided, only one side survived.

Wei Huo’s luck was comparable to the Naga Race’s luck. Even with the Luck Severance Skill, this was still shocking. Wei Huo had probably walked for too long. A human’s journey was comparable to the rise and fall of a race.

After the 72 laser beams were done, the Naga were exhausted. This was not an array that ordinary Naga could control. The array that the Great Ancestor had created was a self-inflicting array.

That was because they only had one enemy and there was a large number of Naga. Even if they injured 1,000 enemies, they would lose 800 Naga. However, they had a lot of Naga, so they could switch things up.

Upon seeing that the leader was exhausted, he shouted, “Next round!”

72 new Naga stepped forward and assumed their positions. Then, the barrier lit up with a red light again. The next round of array attacks was about to be activated.

However, at that moment, Wei Huo had already picked up the bronze cauldron and thrown it at the barrier. The bronze cauldron was very heavy, and Wei Huo had injected his Domain Force into it. It was extraordinarily powerful, so he might be able to break through the formation!

The Naga’s Great Ancestor sneered. “The corner of the array shall open and let the bronze cauldron return!”

The cauldron flew forward rapidly, but the barrier suddenly opened at the corner. The cauldron flew out and smashed into the ground, creating a huge pit. The ground and the stones on it were smashed into pieces. The surrounding Naga were sucked dry by the domain’s power and turned into black gas.

The Naga did not notice the black gas. The Naga’s Great-Ancestor descended from the sky to retrieve the bronze cauldron. However, the cauldron flipped and countless black gas spewed out.

This was the aura of nirvanic extermination. It was extremely terrifying and capable of destroying one’s body and spirit!

The Great Ancestor was shocked when he saw the black Qi. He then roared, “Retreat!”

Unfortunately, it was too late. The aura of nirvanic extermination erupted like a piranha in the river. As soon as it entered the river, it immediately scattered in all directions to find its prey. The moment it found it, it would swarm over and devour it completely.

The Great Ancestor flew into the sky, but several Nirvana Qi were still chasing after him. The Naga on the ground were not so lucky. Nirvana Qi were chasing them as well, and the person in charge was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. The Naga’s flesh and blood immediately rotted as their souls were devoured by the Nirvana Qi.

The flag bearers died one after another, and the Human-Slaughtering Array started shaking and becoming unstable. Wei Huo kept punching the barrier with his fists until half of the flag bearers died. That was when cracks appeared on the barrier.

Wei Huo used his Domain Force and threw a punch. A terrifying force penetrated the barrier.

A Naga’s scalp went numb when he saw this scene. He then shouted, “The savage has broken through the array! He’s going to slaughter our race! Let’s escape!”

Wei Huo ignored the other Naga and charged toward the Great Ancestor. He wanted to kill the Great Ancestor and obtain his half-gold, half-purple soul gem. He wanted to absorb the gem and obtain the Great Ancestor’s memories. He wanted to find out what had happened to the peerless savage 200 years ago.

Wei Huo had originally not planned to do that. He had planned to complete quests in the crowd of Naga after he left the pagoda. He wanted to improve his favorability, trade, and obtain scarce resources.

However, since the Naga had set up an array to kill him, Wei Huo would not hold back either. He even suspected that the Naga had been exterminated 200 years ago after provoking that peerless savage.

The Great Ancestor shouted, “This savage wants to exterminate our species! Run! Each Naga is out for themselves!”

Wei Huo snorted. “You guys were the ones who attacked first!”

The aura of nirvanic extermination surged. In just a few seconds, dozens of Naga were destroyed both in body and soul. What was even more terrifying was that a single aura of nirvanic extermination would grow into two after killing one Naga. Then, it would attack other Naga. It was extremely terrifying.

The Great Ancestor was terrified when he saw this scene. “What is this? Is it the true strength of a Legendary creature?”

Wei Huo extended his hand and grabbed the Great Ancestor’s neck. His other hand covered his head. “Die!”

Without the array, the Great Ancestor could not resist at all. Besides, he was old and weak. He could not withstand Wei Huo’s palm.

The Great Ancestor felt boundless regret as he faced his death. Why would I provoke such a vicious person?

Wei Huo slapped the Naga’s head. The aura of nirvanic extermination rushed into the Naga’s skull and destroyed his body. His soul was also destroyed, leaving only a half-gold, half-purple soul gem behind.

The Naga started crying when they saw the Great Ancestor being killed. The Great Ancestor was like a God in their hearts. Without him, the Naga Race would not have existed today.

However, more Naga started fleeing in all directions. They knew that there was no need to worry about survival.

Some of them started insulting the Great Ancestor. “The Great Ancestor is old and dim-witted. He listened to the slandering words of a few elders. That’s a Legendary-level creature. How could we provoke it? Isn’t it really naive of us to try and kill someone who has never done anything? Fortunately, we ran away quickly!”

Apart from the escapees, some of the Naga knelt on the ground and begged Wei Huo. “Don’t kill us, Murderous God. We can do anything for you. We only want to survive!”

Many Naga started cursing these greedy Naga. “Damn those Naga! They are willing to give up their dignity to survive. Let’s kill them first!”

The surrendered Naga were elated when they saw the aura of nirvanic extermination bypassing them. However, they were furious when they saw the other Naga charging toward them. “We are saving the strength of the Naga. This is a world where the strong are respected. By relying on the strong, we can survive more effectively. Compared to survival, nothing is worth mentioning!”

The Great Ancestor had been killed, and the Naga had been divided. Three kinds of Naga had emerged: escapees, resisters, and surrenderers.

Wei Huo ignored this and focused on absorbing the half-gold, half-purple soul gem.
