Chapter 227: Silent Annihilation
"True it won't be easy, as unlike the Heaven which is in an ordered state and the concept of refining it is easier, the chaos is always in disorder so you have to use more strength to do so.
But it isn't something which you can't refine. See this sphere of chaos for example, if you can't refine it with a single sphere of refinement then use two, three, four... at one point you will definitely refine it.
And once you begin walking the path of chaos it will become easier for you to refine it, at least if it is on a similar level as your strength."
Jiang Hao was really stunned with this explanation, it was truly quite a profound answer for him. He also gained understanding of Heaven and Chaos on a deeper level.
"By the way, create a Nihility Sphere and give it to me." Yao Ying spoke again.
Jiang Hao did so and created a Nihility Sphere. The moment the Nihility Sphere formed, it flew away and came above Yao Ying's hand.
She looked at it curiously before touching it with her hand.
Jiang Hao was surprised because no matter what, if a Nihility Sphere touched anything then it always expanded to its range, but right now, although senior Yao had caught it, it was still docile.
Yao Ying kept observing the sphere before a layer of chaos enveloped it and it dissipated.
Jiang Hao didn't know what senior Yao was trying to do, nor was he able to understand how chaos dissipated his Nihility Sphere. This seemed far beyond his comprehension.
At least from their conversation he understood that he could refine the Chaos Law. Also, it seemed like he had to advance quickly in his cultivation realm to reach Heavenly King Realm.
He had a feeling why senior Yao wanted him to cultivate fast... he sighed and drank his tea completely.
After drinking he stood up and Yao Ying followed, it was already evening. They weren't planning to stay in this city. They would directly go to the Central Region as this city couldn't even be considered a part of the real Central Region.
Jiang Hao opened the gate and they exited. The maid was standing there and the moment they came out she spoke, "Your total will be 60,000 spirit stones." She gave Jiang Hao an empty storage bag to pass those stones.
She wanted to see some kind of reaction from Jiang Hao but he just took out spirit stones and filled the storage bag before handing it back to her.
After doing so he walked away silently.
The maid was surprised. She counted the spirit stones and they were exactly 60,000.
Her face twitched, she wanted to yell at Jiang Hao that if he was not poor then why not buy some decent robes.
...
Jiang Hao and Yao Ying came out of the Emerald Leaf Pavilion and Jiang Hao glanced towards the center of the city for a single breath and began walking towards the exit.
The whole city might be under watch, if he flew here then there was a high chance guards would come for him. If that happened then the chance of destroying these three pavilions would be low.
After walking a while they came out of the city gates and began walking on the path that led to the Central Region. Jiang Hao walked for a bit and stopped, this would be a perfect spot.
Even if he flew up here nobody would pay much attention to him, he was a thousand meters away from the city after all. Not to mention even if someone saw him they would ignore him as he was just a Soul Sea Realm cultivator. He wasn't harmful in any way.
Jiang Hao flew up and reached a certain height, and looked towards the city. He could see the whole city from here, and those three pavilions in the center were easily visible too.
Jiang Hao created a spatial node and came down and began walking away.
Now there was only one doubt in his mind, it was the protection array of these pavilions. If they had one, then once he attacked would it activate or not?
Protection arrays usually activate by themselves when they get triggered by some strong attack, it happens because of the spirit qi present in the attack.
Once those attacks enter the range of the array, the first layer which is meant to sense the attack triggers, then the whole array activates to block it.
The second way is that someone sees the attack coming and they activate it manually through the array node.
What Jiang Hao had planned to do might pass through all these restrictions easily. His attacks are the epitome of nothingness, even if they enter the protection array range, the array will not be able to sense them.
As for someone seeing it through spirit sense, it was impossible because of the same reason. Spirit sense can only sense things which have spirit qi, unless that thing is in their nearest zone.
So Jiang Hao was far more inclined to believe that his attack would work. He might not be able to kill Heavenly King Realm cultivators, if they wanted to escape then they would be able to easily, but nonetheless other than them, everyone else would die.
These pavilions were all 400 meters in range, and two Annihilation Zone Spheres would be enough. He was creating them while walking. They were already about complete. Just for the sake of making sure his attack succeeded, he had created a total of four of them, although even two were enough.
When he felt the time was right he disappeared and appeared at the place he had marked, the whole city was visible again. He looked towards the center where pavilions were and all four of his spheres flew silently with immense speed towards them, looking at them with the naked eye was almost impossible in the veil of night.
His arrival here might have alerted some people who were keeping an eye around the city through spirit sense, but it didn't matter. Before anyone could even react the spheres crossed the range of the protection array.
The spheres reached the pavilions and... darkness engulfed the three pavilions. Three massive 200-meter-wide black spheres erased everything in their range, they would keep doing so for five seconds.
Three disheveled cultivators came out of the zone of the black spheres, they were naked with their skins peeled off, trembling in fear while looking at the black spheres.
If they had stayed longer then their bones might have become visible.
Jiang Hao looked at the scene for a moment before he disappeared. He could already see that those pavilions were gone completely. Others couldn't see it before the attack disappeared but he could.
