The red-robed Sect Master was stunned by the surging aura radiated by the old Taoist priest.
What the hell?
What is happening?
Wasn’t Azure Lotus on the verge of death just now?
How did this fellow suddenly recover so quickly just when I broke the seal?
Could this be the so-called terminal lucidity?
Mmm, it must be terminal lucidity! He’s just trying to scare me!
The red-robed Sect Master gave a cold smile.
“Haha, do you think you can fool me? You were struck by my Seven Killing Blood Spear twice, and its power has already destroyed your body. How can you possibly be fine?”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was tapping his rod and walking slowly toward the red-robed Sect Master. “It’s not important whether I am fine. You are the one in trouble now.”
“Ultimate Seven Kill!!!”
The red-robed Sect Master’s face hardened as a massive spear appeared.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus sneered. “Too slow!”
He morphed into a shadow and disappeared on the spot. His aura was completely undetectable now. It was like Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had totally disappeared from this world.
“Evil creature, take that!”
A sudden roar sounded out behind the red-robed Sect Master. Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had reappeared.
The golden rod in his hand swooshed down toward the red-robed Sect Master.
Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Every single swing was a heavy strike against the blood-red spear in the red-robed Sect Master’s hands.
The Sect Master felt like a raging bull was pounding him.
Was this really terminal lucidity?
But this was too much now! Who would behave like such a mad bull during their terminal lucidity!?
A sense of foreboding rose in the red-robed Sect Master’s heart. He felt like he had made a mistake somewhere.
“Enjoy my Divine Firmament Dog-Beating Rod!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shouted as the golden rod in his hand moved even faster. He shattered the red-robed Sect Master’s spear array.
Suddenly, the ferocity of the rod was all unleashed on the body of the red-robed Sect Master.
Every single stroke tore through space with terrifying power.
Every single strike caused the Sect Master to question his life.
He realized that he was completely unable to fend against Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ rod.
He was utterly defeated under the attacks of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s swinging rod.
The red-robed Sacred Leader spat out a mouthful of blood. “Scoundrel! I am a Saint! How dare you—”
Before he could complete his sentence, the glowing golden rod landed heavily on his face, sending him flying off in the air.
“Saint? Haha, what a weak Saint!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus raised his rod against and smashed it against the Sect Master’s mouth, crushing nearly half his teeth.
Following that, he performed a series of high-speed movements with the rod, beating the Sect Master senseless.
“He is indeed Senior Brother Chu. It has been so many years, but he remains so powerful. I must work hard to catch up to him.”
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance gazed adoringly at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. She activated her Jade Mirror to record the scene.
This was a rare chance to observe Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ dashing fighting style.
“A Godfiend cultivator can suppress a Qi Refinement Saint cultivator. Senior Brother has hidden his true power too well.”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was also amazed. She was his junior sister but also had no idea of his true power.
But actually, they were not that shocked. This was not the first time Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had defeated someone of a higher cultivation level.
“Scoundrel!
“Chu Longhe, I will remember how you shamed me today.
“After I cultivate successfully in the future, I will come back to seek vengeance!”
The red-robed Sect Master looked angry and ashamed. He suddenly tossed the blood-red pearl at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, which instantly enlarged.
At the same time, cracks appeared on the surface of the pearl. It was like it would explode any moment now.
Yes, the red-robed Sect Master was going to detonate his own Divine artifact!
Faced with Chu Longhe, who was below the Saint stage, he was actually being forced to detonate his Divine artifact and flee.
No Saint would be able to endure such an embarrassment.
But the red-robed Sect Master was not trying to be a hero. He swallowed his pride and anger. After all, where there was life, there was hope. There was only hope for victory if one was alive.
Boom!
The blood-red pearl rapidly enlarged, transforming into a surging ball of energy.
As he was standing together with the red-robed Sect Master, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was at the core of the ball of energy and was now completely engulfed by it. “Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, I will return!”
The red-robed Sect Master had chosen to detonate his Seven Killing Pearl to hold back Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
He turned and shot toward the Primordial Battlefield after spitting out his last words.
Cultivators were suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Primordial Battlefield and would be in extreme danger when facing off with the soulless creatures inside.
Nonetheless, the red-robed Sacred Leader was a Saint powerhouse and had a deep understanding of Dharma techniques. As a result, even if he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was still confident of surviving in the battlefield.
In contrast, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was a much greater danger to him.
If he didn’t seek refuge in the battlefield, things would be much worse for the Sect Master if Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus caught him.
As long as he could successfully hide in the Primordial Battlefield, it would not be difficult to shake off Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus amongst the other powerful soulless creatures.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus watched on as the red-robed Sect Master detonated his Seven Killing Pearl and fled toward the Primordial Battlefield.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus didn’t manage to stop him. The robe of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was in tatters after the Seven Killing Pearl detonated on him. His face once again turned pale as he slowly descended from the sky.
“Damn, I can’t believe he actually detonated his Seven Killing Pearl, such a high-level Divine artifact!” Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stared at the disappearing figure of the red-robed Sect Master. “Damn, I gave my all but still let that evil creature escape.” With that, he turned and looked at Shen Tian, his face as white as a sheet.
“Tian’er, this time I really won’t have much longer to live. We were talking about you acknowledging me as your Master before I die. Thought about it?”
The red-robed Sect Master heard Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s statement and felt his rapidly weakening aura, but he continued to flee toward the Primordial Battlefield.
Damn you! I was already tricked once by you! Do you think your same trick would work a second time? Do you really think I am stupid!?
Even the red-robed Sect Master didn’t believe Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus—there was no way Shen Tian would. After all, he was no fool.
Shen Tian wiped his sweat and gazed at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
“Didn’t you already make this speech earlier?” Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ face reddened slightly.
“Ahem, it was terminal lucidity just now.
“This time, that evil creature detonated his Divine artifact on me, and I really don’t have much longer to live now.”
An extremely filthy peal of laughter echoed in Shen Tian’s head.
Shen Tian felt rather violated by that laughter, and his face darkened.
“Martial Uncle, don’t worry. You got injured because of me.
“If anything happens to you, I will definitely give you a proper burial and visit your grave on the 1st and 15th day of every month, as well as on special occasions.
“Now, can you have another round of terminal lucidity? This fellow is about to escape into the Primordial Battlefield.”
The expectant smile on Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ face stiffened when he heard Shen Tian’s indifferent words.
He knew that his gig was up.
Damn you, Evil Spirit Sect Master! Why did you have to court death? Why!?
