The Lion Sect did not care about the betrayal that Wan Shan had mentioned. Just as he had said, the alliance was only formed for the sake of benefits. Since the Sacred Palace was able to offer even greater benefits, it was only natural that the Thousand Beast Valley would turn traitor.
The killing intent in Wan Shan's eyes grew even stronger when he heard Lion Sect's answer. At the same time, his attacks became even fiercer. Lion Sect sneered as he blocked Wan Shan's attacks.
"You want to kill me? But can you do it? Wan Shan? "
Wan Shan really wanted to kill Lion Zong now. Unfortunately, both of them were existences in the Great Perfection of the Quasi-sage Realm. At their level, it could be said that it was very difficult to kill them. The difficulty of killing a Quasi-sage Great Venerate was probably dozens or even hundreds of times more difficult than killing a Saint.
At the quasi-saint realm, one's vitality could already be described as terrifying.
Therefore, Lion Sect was not afraid of Wan Shan's rage at all. Moreover, Lion Sect's current mission was to delay Wan Shan and wait for Jiang Taishen's trio and Ku Gui's victory to be decided. At that time, Wan Shan would naturally be doomed.
The battle between Lion Sect and Wan Shan was intense. However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that although the battle between the two was intense, no one could do anything to the other. Especially Lion Sect, he had no intention of going all out against Wan Shan. This gave Wan Shan a headache.
While Lion Sect and Wan Shan fought fiercely, Jiang Taishen, Tian Jue, and Man Gu were also fighting fiercely with Ku Gui.
Ku Gui, who was wearing a loose black robe and had a thin and short figure, did not fall into any disadvantage when facing the siege of Jiang Taishen's trio.
Jiang Taishen's trio were all existences at the Perfect Quasi-Saint realm and were the strongest Great Sovereigns of the North Star Boundary along with Ku Gui.
Ku Gui did not show any signs of defeat even when facing three existences at the same level as him. From this, it could be seen that Ku Gui's strength was indeed incomparably powerful. He was indeed worthy of the title of the North Star Boundary's most ancient and strongest quasi-saint Great Sovereign.
With every movement, Withered Ghost was surrounded by a dense ghostly aura. When he struck out with his palm, the ghostly aura swept toward Jiang Taishen and the other two like a blanket.
Fortunately, Jiang Taishen and the other two were strong. Otherwise, if it were any other quasi-sage great sovereign, they would have been killed by the Withered Ghost.
Jiang Taishen and the others weren't surprised by Ku Gui's terrifying strength. After all, this was something they had long expected. If it weren't for Ku Gui's strength, why would Jiang Taishen and the others be so afraid of him?
The four peerless powerhouses who stood at the top of the North Star Boundary, existences who were only one step away from the Great Sage realm, were engaged in a fierce battle at this moment. All kinds of magical powers emerged one after another, and even the other Quasi-sage and Great Venerables didn't dare to approach the place where the four of them were fighting. After all, the residual power was simply too ferocious, and the slightest carelessness might cause them to be affected.
With a palm strike, a ghostly claw condensed from ghostly Qi descended from the sky, like a mountain pressing down on Jiang Taishen.
Facing the attacks of the Withered Ghosts, Jiang Taishen's expression was calm. Golden light flashed as the God Race's ability was used.
The golden light and the ghostly claw fiercely collided, and then both exploded in the air at the same time, slowly dissipating.
After successfully blocking the attack of the Withered Ghost, Jiang Taishen said coldly, "Ku Gui, you're old. If you were a few hundred years younger, perhaps the three of us wouldn't be able to do anything to you. But now, you're on the verge of death, and your strength is far from what it was in your prime. I'm afraid you don't have much of a chance today."
Jiang Taishen's words were indeed true. The Withered Ghost was old, and after living for so many years, his strength was at the top of the entire North Star Boundary. However, no matter how strong he was, it was difficult to resist the erosion of time.
Ordinary people would die, Saints would die, Quasi-sages and Great Venerables would die, and even Great Sages couldn't surpass time and resist the erosion of time.
It was hard to say whether there was anyone in this world who could truly achieve immortality, but at the very least, no one had ever heard of anyone who could live forever.
Time was the most terrifying power in this world. No matter how strong you were, no matter what your cultivation was, time would always be able to crush you alive unknowingly.
Take the current Withered Ghost for example. He had lived for thousands of years, and his cultivation was exceedingly high, but he still couldn't escape time.
Now that he was old, his body was far from being as strong as it was in his prime. This was something that the Withered Ghost himself didn't deny. His current body was too weak, and Jiang Taishen and the other two could exhaust him to death.
The Withered Ghost already knew this, so he was certain that the Night Ghost Pavilion would lose. Otherwise, if he was at his prime, even if he was alone, he wouldn't be afraid of Jiang Taishen and the other two.
Hearing Jiang Taishen's words, the Withered Ghost smiled bitterly. "Yes, old people are indeed useless, but the three of you are a little too arrogant. You have to know that even if you're old enough to lose your teeth, a tiger is still a tiger."
He admitted that he was old, but the Withered Ghost also said that the Jiang Taishen trio were too arrogant. Hearing this, Jiang Taishen remained silent, while Tian Jue's eyes flashed with a trace of seriousness.
However, the three of them didn't have to wait. Soon, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the Withered Ghost's body. This aura had faintly surpassed the Quasi-sage level.
This was an aura that surpassed the Quasi-sage level. This was …
Feeling the terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from the Withered Ghost's body, the Jiang Taishen trio were stunned, and Tian Jue couldn't help but murmur.
"Great Saint Stage? You broke through to the Great Saint Stage? "
Above the Quasi-sage level was the Great Saint Stage. This level was equivalent to a legendary existence in the current North Star Boundary. It had been at least tens of thousands of years since a Great Saint Emperor had appeared in the North Star Boundary.
If the Withered Ghost really broke through to the Great Saint Stage, then there was no doubt that everyone present would die. The strength of a Great Saint Emperor was absolutely enough to change the color of heaven and earth.
Although there were many Quasi-sage Great Venerables in the five great sects, in front of a Great Saint Emperor, it was still not enough.
This was like the gap between the Quasi-sage level and the Saint Stage. Was it not so great that a Quasi-sage Great Venerate could easily crush a Saint Stage expert?
By the same logic, a Great Saint Emperor could also easily crush a Quasi-sage Great Venerate. Moreover, the gap between the two was even greater than the gap between the Quasi-sage level and the Saint Stage. It was so great that it was unimaginable.
Not only Tian Jue, but Jiang Taishen and Huang Gu's expressions also changed drastically. However, in the face of the trio's surprise, the Withered Ghost chuckled a little self-deprecatingly.
"The Great Sage level isn't so easy to break through. Don't worry, this old man hasn't broken through to the Great Saint Stage yet. If I have to say, this old man's true realm should be at the half-step Great Saint Stage."
