Chapter 614, The Power of the God Slaying Ballista

Translator: Silavin

 

Speaking thus far, he retrieved a massive item from the Red Treasure Chest, directly mounting it upon the white bone beneath his feet.

 

This item was enormous beyond measure, standing approximately two metres tall and three metres wide. It appeared to be a gigantic ballista on a carriage, crafted from blood-red wood of unknown origin!

 

The ballista carriage bore crude patterns, carved with all manner of Monsters or Demons on it, exuding an aura of antiquity and murderous intent.

 

As for its bowstring, it was composed of a metal cable as thick as three fingers. If this bowstring were truly drawn to its full extent and fired, who could possibly withstand it?!

 

“This is… it’s actually the God Slaying Ballista!?” Li Qingfeng and Yuan Jingang exclaimed in unison, their expressions shocked yet envious.

 

Had Lu Fan and Wang Tianlang not disrupted their plans, this God Slaying Ballista should rightfully have been theirs!

 

With this item, even when facing Murong Sheng, they would have the qualification to challenge him.

 

Yet now, such an important and powerful item has fallen into Wang Tianlang’s hands. This was truly a case of fine cabbage being devoured by swine!

 

Lu Fan observed Wang Tianlang’s rebellious behaviour without surprise.

 

From the moment this person had been secretly collecting Treasure Chests along the way, he had discerned his traitorous thoughts and knew he was untrustworthy.

 

Now that he had come to obtain the God Slaying Ballista, he had finally cast aside his disguise, which was hardly surprising.

 

“So, now that you have the God Slaying Ballista, do you truly believe you can oppose me?” Lu Fan’s face bore a faint smile as his Bone Wings spread wide, carrying Lu Fan towards Wang Tianlang. It seems like he intended to ‘clean house’.

 

Seeing Lu Fan treat Wang Tianlang and the God Slaying Ballista with such disdain, not only Wang Tianlang but even Yuan Jingang and Li Qingfeng inwardly thought Lu Fan was truly ignorant and overconfident.

 

Indeed, he was certainly powerful, possessing the qualification to challenge Murong Sheng. However, Wang Tianlang wielded the God Slaying Ballista now!

 

With the God Slaying Ballista deployed, who could possibly resist it!? Even Murong Sheng would be forced to retreat!

 

Yet Lu Fan was swaggering towards Wang Tianlang so brazenly.

 

Was he afraid the God Slaying Ballista might miss him instead?

 

What was the God Slaying Ballista? It was something capable of hunting down Divine Beings! How could a mere Player withstand it?!

 

Watching Lu Fan fly towards him at a leisurely pace, Wang Tianlang’s smile grew increasingly unrestrained. “Dragon Tamer, ah Dragon Tamer, you are truly too arrogant! Do you genuinely believe the God Slaying Ballista in my hands is merely for show? Regarding certain matters, I did indeed deceive you. However, concerning the power of this God Slaying Ballista, I spoke no lies. Without at least two million in your Endurance Attribute, no one can withstand a single bolt from it. Today, I shall demonstrate the power of the God Slaying Ballista for you!”

 

As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and three empty Purple Treasure Chests appeared in succession within his grasp.

 

Subsequently, he struck each Purple Treasure Chest in turn, causing all three to dissolve into light that converged upon the God Slaying Ballista.

 

In but an instant, the three Purple Treasure Chests had completely transformed into a single massive bolt, approximately two metres in length and as thick as a Human arm.

 

This bolt resembled red-hot branding iron, radiating brilliant crimson light. Clearly, being struck by it would inflict not just High Physical Damage.

 

This bolt was undoubtedly imbued with extremely potent Magic Damage as well!

 

The combination of these two Damage Types ensured that unless one possessed exceptionally High Resistance to both, no person could possibly withstand a single bolt from the God Slaying Ballista.

 

Wang Tianlang’s actions revealed to Lu Fan just how sinister his machinations truly were.

 

Indeed, he had previously just described the rules of the God’s Tomb Secret Realm with half-truths and half-lies.

 

The power of the God Slaying Ballista was undoubtedly genuine.

 

Moreover, the God Slaying Ballista was indeed a rare item that could only be obtained with a certain probability from Red Treasure Chests.

 

However, the God Slaying Ballista did not come equipped with three bolts, which would be exhausted after use.

 

The bolts for the God Slaying Ballista were materialised from emptied Treasure Chests; only by collecting Treasure Chests could one load ammunition for the God Slaying Ballista.

 

Wang Tianlang had failed to explain this. He was secretly collecting Treasure Chests for precisely this moment.

 

After all, given Lu Fan’s strength, he very likely could obtain the God Slaying Ballista.

 

When Lu Fan acquired the God Slaying Ballista without knowing how to obtain bolts, he would inevitably enquire of Wang Tianlang why the promised three bolts were nowhere to be found.

 

At that moment, Wang Tianlang could have deceived Lu Fan into surrendering the God Slaying Ballista, claiming he would examine it for him.

 

Then, he could have loaded ammunition into the God Slaying Ballista and caught Lu Fan completely off guard!

 

This way, Wang Tianlang’s purpose in collecting empty Treasure Chests throughout their journey became obvious.

 

At this moment, the bolt had been fully loaded.

 

Seeing that Lu Fan showed no intention of retreating, Wang Tianlang assumed him to be too arrogant, not even regarding the God Slaying Ballista as a threat.

 

This suited him perfectly though. He need only kill Lu Fan, then use the God Slaying Ballista to eliminate Li Qingfeng and Yuan Jingang, which should be easy.

 

By collecting all the empty Treasure Chests from them, he would possess at least five more bolts.

 

Within the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, five bolts could resolve many situations.

 

“Die! This is the consequence of offending me, Wang Tianlang!” Wang Tianlang roared, showing no mercy as he aimed the God Slaying Ballista at Lu Fan and simultaneously pulled the trigger.

 

Instantly, a thunderous roar erupted from the massive God Slaying Ballista.

 

The bowstring snapped taut in an instant, launching the bolt with unstoppable momentum aimed directly at Lu Fan.

 

That bolt, resembling a red-hot branding iron, instantaneously transformed into a crimson streak of light, closing upon Lu Fan’s position without giving him any time to react.

 

Furthermore, wherever the bolt passed, space itself shattered, demonstrating that this single strike had exceeded the Level 100 Divine Skills!

 

Lu Fan continued flying towards Wang Tianlang, and in the next moment, the bolt struck him with precise accuracy.

 

Immediately following, a crimson radiance erupted from the bolt, and an enormous mushroom cloud soared skyward, instantly enveloping Lu Fan’s figure within.

 

As the bolt detonated, even the lake water was affected, generating tremendous waves.

 

With Lu Fan at the epicentre, the lake water parted towards all sides, even exposing the countless Monster bones that littered the bottom of the lake.

 

The residual force alone was already so terrifying that none could imagine what would occur if one were directly struck by the God Slaying Ballista.

 

Even Yuan Jingang, renowned for his Defence, concluded that had he been the one struck by the God Slaying Ballista, he would have been instantly pulverised without a trace!

 

This was the true power of the God Slaying Ballista.

 

Indeed, within the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, whoever obtained the God Slaying Ballista would become the person with the greatest authority.
