Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 288 - 288 287 Subdue

288: Chapter 287: Subdue 288: Chapter 287: Subdue The Guanghan Fairy spoke with an icy voice, looking at Ye Xuan with undisguised contempt in her eyes.

If there was anyone in the world who knew this bow and arrow besides Da Yi, it was her, Chang’e.

Da Yi had told her when he stored the bow and arrow with her that they were products of Chaos, possessing incredibly unimaginable power.

Throughout the realms of Immortals and Demons, no one but he could wield this bow; absolutely no second person could draw it.

Chang’e had no doubt about Da Yi’s words, for in the Primordial Era, Da Yi had once slain a Daluo Golden Immortal, being an Ancient Heavenly God himself.

Since he had said so, it was certain that no one else could draw the bow.

Under the scornful gaze of the Guanghan Fairy, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he chose to ignore her.

He stepped forward and suddenly appeared on the ancient platform, looking at the bow and arrow in front of him with an even more cautious expression.

Ye Xuan never did things he was not sure of, and since he wanted to borrow the Shaking Heaven Divine Bow and the Sun Shooting Divine Arrow, he naturally had a certain level of confidence in his heart.

This confidence came from the Undying Immortal Scripture.

Yes, the Undying Immortal Scripture.

The origin of the Undying Immortal Scripture was mysterious, it was unknown who had created it.

It had existed in the world since the beginning of Heaven and Earth, and among its chapters, only Ye Xuan had obtained the Forbidden Chapter.

Immortals, Demons, and Ghosts — the various secret techniques and cultivation methods could be said to encompass everything, including the Witch Clan’s Secret Technique.

For instance, the Martial Arts Dragon Skill that he had once used was one such Secret Technique from the Witch Clan.

Ye Xuan had a feeling that the Undying Immortal Scripture integrated all the cultivation techniques of the world and would definitely allow him to use this bow and arrow.

“Rise!”

Ye Xuan hesitated no more.

He reached out a hand to grasp the Shaking Heaven Divine Bow, attempting to lift it into his hands.

Suddenly, a terrifying event occurred.

Bang!

Witch Light blazed brilliantly, slaying Immortals and vanquishing Gods, as the seemingly rotting bow radiated an extremely horrifying Witch Light.

The space around it was violently shaking, even flinging Ye Xuan out directly and causing him to spew a mouthful of fresh blood.

Hum!

Ye Xuan’s flying form stabilized in the void, the webbing of his hands cracking and bleeding, obviously recoiling from the Shaking Heaven Divine Bow, suffering a heavy injury to himself.

Seeing such a scene unfold, the Guanghan Fairy smirked with derision, as if it was all within her expectations.

“I told you long ago, it is not that I will not lend you this bow and arrow, but that you simply cannot wield them.”

The Guanghan Fairy’s eyes drifted to the bow and arrow on the ancient platform, a majestic figure flashing through her mind as she murmured, “Only he could wield this bow and arrow, if he were still alive, how could I suffer such humiliation from you?”

Hearing the Guanghan Fairy’s murmur, Ye Xuan only found it laughable.

Women will always be women, always revering the strong; this was an eternal truth, and the Guanghan Fairy was no exception.

It was precisely when the Guanghan Fairy’s thoughts were adrift that Ye Xuan once again stepped onto the ancient platform, a trace of blood flashing quietly in the depths of his eyes.

He slowly closed his eyes as his aura underwent an extremely eerie transformation.

A trace of Witch Light quietly blossomed around him, his once Immortal Spirit-like aura having vanished.

When Ye Xuan opened his eyes again, his pupils were filled with a dark and profound hue, and an aura of agelessness burst forth at this moment.

“Endless vicissitudes rest with a single lifetime, destiny’s rugged path turns desolate, piercing through mountains and rivers in their thousands, a thought of flying flowers turns all to sand…”

In the ethereal firmament of the heavens, a thunderous chanting echoed.

Twelve colossal phantoms, each towering from the ground to the sky, materialized above Ye Xuan’s head.

As mysterious spells coursed through his hands, Witch Light surged around him, filling the eight cardinal directions.

The roaring chant of the twelve grand specters made the very space seem unfathomably deep and complex.

This was a Witch Clan scripture recorded within the Forbidden Chapter of the Undying Immortal Scripture, its purpose unknown to Ye Xuan.

Yet, he felt, as if preordained, that this Witch Clan chant was the key to wielding this bow and arrow.

“Arise!”

It was like the roar of a Nine Heavens Thunder, like the weight of the eternal heavens collapsing.

As Ye Xuan’s voice sounded, he once again reached out to grasp the Shaking Heaven Divine Bow, stunning the Guanghan Fairy into a frozen stupor that lasted an eternity.

The bow, seemingly made of rotten wood, began to emit an unprecedented dark radiance.

Effortlessly, Ye Xuan held it in his hand, as an ethereal bowstring coalesced before him, the mysterious and inscrutable dark light enshrouding him at that very moment.

“Arrow, come!”

Buzz!

The Sun Shooting Divine Arrow, like the light of dawn piercing through the fabric of time, abruptly appeared on the bowstring.

“Open for me!”

With a Heaven and Earth Splitting bellow, shattering mountains and rivers, Ye Xuan’s arms vibrated as he slowly drew the bowstring back.

The fearsome power unleashed by the bow and arrow caused the space around to shatter inch by inch, as if on the brink of annihilation.

In that instant, the Guanghan Fairy, witnessing this spectacle, seemed to lose all reason, her voice trembling and whispering, “How…

how is this possible…

who…

who is he to be able to draw the Shaking Heaven Divine Bow?”

No wonder the Guanghan Fairy was shocked beyond belief, for she knew well that since the Primordial Era to the present, no one was known to wield Da Yi’s weapon; the thought was simply unfathomable.

“Stop, stop now.”

The Guanghan Fairy suddenly snapped out of her daze and, in great urgency, called out to Ye Xuan.

If he truly loosed that arrow, not only would this space shatter, but her residence, the Taiyin Star, would also be reduced to dust.

It was known that this bow and arrow were Divine Artifacts of the Witch Clan, and Da Yi had once shot down nine Golden Crows with them.

Although Ye Xuan’s Cultivation was far from what Da Yi’s once was, the catastrophe that would ensue from firing this arrow would still be terrifyingly immense.

Huff!

Ye Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid Qi as thick as silk and ultimately did not loose the arrow.

With the fully drawn bowstring slowly relaxed, beads of sweat emerged on his forehead.

Though the bow and arrow were dreadfully powerful, they had consumed fifty percent of Ye Xuan’s Cultivation.

According to his estimates, he could at most release two arrows before falling into a state of weakness.

Yet two arrows were not too bad, which aligned closely with Ye Xuan’s expectations.

As the Sumeru Space opened, Ye Xuan stowed the bow and arrow within, then stepped down from the Ancient Platform.

His gaze towards the Guanghan Fairy was tinged with calm as he spoke, “Once I have made use of this item, I will certainly return it to the Fairy.

If the Fairy has time, she might also visit Weiyang Palace to share a drink and discuss the Dao with me, to become better acquainted.”

Having accomplished his task, Ye Xuan had no intention of lingering further.

He tore through the space and appeared in the Guanghan Palace, while the Guanghan Fairy, her lips tightly pressed, followed resentfully.

“Ye Xuan, I must warn you, this bow and arrow are the Divine Artifacts of the Witch Clan.

Despite the great damage the Witch Clan suffered from the primordial wars with the Immortal Demons, rendering them unseen for hundreds of thousands of years, it doesn’t mean they would tolerate their artifacts in your hands.

I hope you will take good care of yourself.”

Watching Ye Xuan walk away without a hint of hesitation, ignoring her completely, the Guanghan Fairy couldn’t hide her resentment, her voice cold with indignation.
