Chapter 494: Great Annihilation Technique
The version of the Emperor Seal Technique that Xiao Ze practiced was ten times more effective than the one Xun'er mastered. In terms of understanding and mastery of the Emperor Seal Technique, Xiao Ze felt that few in the Gu Clan could compare to him. Thus, while Gu Yao's display of the Emperor Seal Technique seemed acceptable to others, to Xiao Ze, it was full of flaws.
"Three Seals in One!"
With Gu Yao's shout, a giant icy palm print hurtled toward Xiao Ze with immense ferocity. The Emperor Seal Technique, a Gu Clan legacy skill, had no elemental restrictions, making it suitable for all clan members regardless of their elemental affinity. This versatility made it an ideal family inheritance technique.
At this moment, the icy palm print cast by Gu Yao brought a biting cold to the area, with the ground instantly forming a layer of ice. Even the Dou Qi barrier set by Gu Lan began to frost over, making the scenery within the barrier hazy.
As the crowd squinted to see through the mist, hoping to witness the impact of the Emperor Seal Technique on Xiao Ze, a pitch-black lightning bolt appeared within the barrier.
The moment the Black Demon Thunder emerged, its aura of destruction swept through the barrier, dispelling the icy mist and clearing the view. Under the astonished gazes of the onlookers, the Black Demon Thunder collided with the fierce palm print, obliterating it instantly.
Xiao Ze's expression remained calm; he had anticipated the Black Demon Thunder's power. He knew its might well, having ventured to the Void Thunder Pool specifically to seek its transformative power.
In the original story, when Xiao Yan first faced the Black Demon Thunder, he used it to charge his Heavenly Demon Puppets, which were of Dou Zong strength, hoping to evolve them further. However, the moment they encountered the Black Demon Thunder, they exploded, unable to withstand its force.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ze commented to Gu Yao, "The three-in-one seal of the Emperor Seal Technique is impressive, but it takes too long to form. In real combat, an enemy wouldn't give you that much time to prepare."
Gu Yao was visibly stunned. Earlier, he might have rationalized his failure without using Dou Techniques. But now, even after utilizing a family legacy technique, he failed to scratch Xiao Ze, who effortlessly neutralized it with a single strike.
Hearing Xiao Ze's assessment felt like daggers to Gu Yao's pride, as though his techniques were merely flashy but impractical.
Gritting his teeth, Gu Yao stifled his frustration and gathered his resolve. "Since you claim to guide me, let's see if you can handle my strongest technique!" Gu Yao declared, his tone fierce.
Quickly forming intricate seals with his hands, the winds ceased, and the clouds halted. A suffocating aura of annihilation emanated from Gu Yao, shocking the onlookers.
"A genuine Heavenly Technique!"
Heavenly Techniques were exceedingly rare, and witnessing one was a significant event. Xun'er, observing from outside the barrier, explained to Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, "Gu Yao is using the Gu Clan's Heavenly Technique, Great Annihilation Technique. It possesses terrifying power capable of obliterating all life."
"Will Young Master Xiao Ze be alright?" Little Fairy Doctor asked with concern.
Xun'er reassured them, "He should be fine. I've trained in the Great Annihilation Technique myself. While its power is immense, it can't bridge the gap between Dou Zong and Dou Sheng."
Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin both relaxed. No matter how formidable the clan's techniques, they couldn't close the chasm-like difference between Dou Zong and Dou Sheng.
Nearby, Elder Gu Lan, seeing Gu Yao use the Great Annihilation Technique, reinforced the barrier with more Dou Qi, ensuring it could withstand the Heavenly Technique's power.
Hovering in the air, Gu Yao's gaze locked onto Xiao Ze, who remained composed below. With a cold smile, he called out, "Great Annihilation Finger!"
As Gu Yao pointed, a massive, pitch-black finger, exuding an overwhelming aura of destruction, surged forward like a hurricane.
Xiao Ze narrowed his eyes. Having received Xun'er's feedback on the technique, he was familiar with it. Observing Gu Yao's execution, he noted its accuracy but remained unfazed.
With a casual wave, Xiao Ze transformed his Black Demon Thunder into a colossal black dragon that swallowed the giant finger whole. The destructive energy raged within the dragon, but it couldn't annihilate it. The dragon's eyes then fixed on Gu Yao, and with a swift flick of its tail, it sent Gu Yao crashing to the ground like a meteor.
Xiao Ze retracted the dragon, gazing at the fallen Gu Yao. He had restrained the dragon's power, ensuring it didn't obliterate Gu Yao entirely. Otherwise, the attack would have erased both his body and soul.
The crowd outside the barrier was stunned, their eyes fixed on the hovering black dragon. Even members of other ancient clans were shocked.
Three strikes! Each move from Xiao Ze had utterly overpowered Gu Yao. As they exhaled, the crowd recognized the outcome as inevitable.
Within the barrier, Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow. From the wreckage, a brilliant purple-gold light shone forth, accompanied by a surge of bloodline power. Despite the need to nurture the clan seal for a month before use, Gu Yao was forcefully activating it.
Seeing the purple-gold light, Xiao Ze sighed inwardly. Had Gu Yao not had enough yet?
