Xuanyangzi’s face was filled with guilt and remorse. This time, he had no excuses to defend himself and explain the incident. It was an utter defeat.
Hundreds of thousands of elites were killed and injured, as well as hundreds of experts in the Divine Transformation Realm.
As a result, the battle had completely negated the advantages that Lu Xuan had created for them earlier.
Only then did Xuanyangzi realize how terrifying a super top expert was.
Back when he had been considered the top expert in the world, he had never thought about these things. He could sweep the world with his strength alone.
Now both Lu Xuan and the mysterious expert from the Divine Blood Church had appeared. They both made Xuanyangzi feel as if he was no match for them.
“Even I had no idea that that there was still such a powerful existence in the Divine Blood Church!”
At that moment, Xuanyangzi had become a bit confused.
“Did you get a clear view of who it was?”
Xuanzhenzi said as he shook his head, “No, I didn’t. He had only come out for a short moment. The next thing I knew, Deputy Head Elder Ximen was badly injured, and the 100,000 elites were gone. After that, we were chased while we escaped. Another 100,000 of the elites died in their hands. We couldn’t even get a good look at what the person looked like. I’m truly ashamed of myself! I’ve never even heard of such a strange way of attacking before!”
For a moment, the expressions on all the elders’ faces grew serious.
Xuanyangzi was also very confused. Judging from the thousands of years of history that the Immemorial Path had established, there were very few secrets in the world that they did not know. The Immemorial Path would count on all of these experts each time they appeared. That was why there was nothing that they did not know.
Xuanyangzi knew even an expert of the older generation like the Beast King very well!
The Immemorial Path did not have any information about this new expert that had suddenly appeared. Because of his sudden appearance, they did not even know where the person had come from. This was too strange.
Even before the establishment of the Immemorial Path, everything was recorded because they were established by the sacred ones. Therefore, they had plenty of information to rely on.
However, no matter which era the data came from, they had never heard of such an existence.
Xuanyangzi said, “It seems that all we can do is ask Mister Lu to do something about it. Only then will we have any chance of competing with them!”
This was the first time in so long that he felt so powerless.
In the past, there was nothing in the world that he could not control using his strength alone.
With his strength making him the top expert in the world and the power of the Immemorial Path, it could be said that he was the most honorable person in the world. It wouldn’t have been very farfetched to say that he was the emperor of the cultivation world.
Now that everything was happening in rapid succession, he was left feeling more powerless by the second.
Ever since Xiang Tianfang used the countless creatures to sacrifice his humanity and increase his strength, everything had spiraled out of Xuanyangzi’s control.
“I’m here!”
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. A young man wearing a white robe appeared in front of everyone.
The young man’s eyebrows were like swords. With the white robe, it couldn’t have been anyone else by Lu Xuan.
Xuanyangzi frantically said, “Mister Lu, I’m glad that you’re here!”
Lu Xuan nodded and said, “I’ve heard all about it. I’ll take a look at the situation first!”
With that, Lu Xuan looked at the injury on Ximen Xingye.
Xuanzhenzi could not help but ask, “What do you think? Mister Lu, can this injury be cured?”
Ximen Xingye ended up severely injured because Xuanzhenzi was the one who had led the team. Therefore, the latter felt very remorseful deep down.
“Of course, it’s not a problem!”
Lu Xuan nodded. He saw that the big hole in Ximen Xingye’s chest was the size of two fists. The hole had pierced his internal organs, reducing part of them to ashes.
Such strength could be considered horrifying!
People knew that in terms of strength, Ximen Xingye was at the pinnacle of the Divine Transformation Realm. Although he was not as strong as Xuanyangzi, he could definitely be regarded as one of the top 10 experts in the entire Holy Sun Continent even if all of the hidden experts were taken into account.
To everyone’s surprise, someone was able to deal a heavy blow to such an expert.
This completely exceeded everyone’s expectations!
There was still a hidden expert within the Holy Sun Continent. It was obvious that this expert had surpassed the ordinary experts in the Divine Transformation Realm.
As Lu Xuan placed a hand on the chest of Ximen Xingye, a strong life force steadily emerged on the palm to mend the wound on Ximen Xingye’s chest.
This kind of injury would’ve been impossible for ordinary people to heal, but Lu Xuan was capable of healing it. With many skills at his disposal, healing an injury like this was easy for him.
A moment later, when the wound on Ximen Xingye was completely repaired, everyone could clearly feel that although Ximen Xingye was not yet awake, he was no longer dying. All he had to do now was to rest and recuperate for a while.
After all, he was an existence in the pinnacle of the Divine Transformation Realm. Therefore, his life force was incredibly strong.
Xuanyangzi bowed and said, “Thank you, Mister Lu. I can’t thank you enough!”
Lu Xuan said as he waved his hand, “You’re welcome, it’s no trouble at all!”
Lu Xuan then touched his chin and continued, “However, the person who caused this injury is very interesting. I’m afraid he is very strong!”
Xuanyangzi said, “I wonder if Mister Lu knows anything about this person.”
The corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth slightly twitched as he said, “How would I know anything about this person? Shouldn’t you have thousands of years’ worth of records about a sect as powerful as the Immemorial Path?”
Xuanyangzi nodded helplessly and said, “In theory, this is true. However, we truly have no idea who this person is. We don’t even know how strong he is, but all we do know is that he is extremely strong!”
Xuanyangzi nodded as he continued, “Yeah, you heard me correctly. He truly is very strong! If my guess is correct, he should already be in the Demi-Consolidation Realm by now!”
“Demi-consolidation Realm? What is that?” As soon as Xuanyangzi heard this, his eyes lit up. He could immediately sense that this may be the only chance he’ll ever get to increase his strength further. He had been stuck at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm for many years, yet he hadn’t made any progress beyond that level.
If he was able to increase his strength further, his lifespan could also be further extended. However, if he failed to get any stronger, he most likely would die in a few years.
“The so-called Demi-Consolidation Realm is a level where the expert is only half a step away from reaching the Consolidation Realm!”
Lu Xuan looked at Xuanyangzi and immediately noticed that Xuanyangzi was staring at him with wide eyes, waiting for him to continue.
It was not just Xuanyangzi; the other experts of the Immemorial Path also wanted him to continue his explanation. They all extended their necks and perked up their ears, waiting to know what the Demi-Consolidation Realm was.
“Don’t you guys know about it? Didn’t the sacred ones leave any information about this for you?” Lu Xuan thought this was a little strange.
He believed that the sacred ancestor should have at least been in the first tier of the Consolidation Realm, while the remaining sacred ones should have been in the Demi-Consolidation Realm. This was all based on what he found recorded in the books.
