"Captured by Kong Shi?"
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat as he listened.
The fact that he was able to plant Talisman Seeds in Sovereign Chen Yong's father and the others meant that his strength had already surpassed that of a Blood Reincarnation realm cultivator. Yet, even an expert of that caliber was captured by Kong Shi. Just how powerful was the World's Teacher?
It was no wonder he had been able to suppress the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe for tens of thousands of years. With such strength, no one would dare to oppose him.
"The talisman seed isn't scary. Even if they are controlled, as long as we use our full strength, we can still defeat them. But …"
Deep worry surfaced in Sovereign Chen Yong's eyes.
"Are you worried about the origin of the talisman seed?"
Zhang Xuan looked over.
This was something that the Immortal's Envoy had used back then, which meant that ordinary Ancient Sages, not even the Three Sovereigns, would be able to wield it. Yet, the other party had taken it out and used it to control these people.
What did it represent?
"Yes! The appearance of the Seed of Amulet means that the Immortal's Envoy will appear as well. That's a true Ancient Sage 4-dan expert! He's capable of shattering space and shattering it without sustaining any damage at all! If such a person is willing to help him, it doesn't matter how many of us we have! "
Sovereign Chen Yong said.
Ancient Sage 3-dan and Ancient Sage 4-dan might only be a small realm apart, but the difference in their level of existence was worlds apart.
One of them could shatter the void and enter a higher plane while the other could only remain here. This was a clear indication of the disparity between them.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, while the number of Ancient Sages that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and mankind had produced was far fewer than the number of carps in the river, there were at least several hundred or even a thousand of them. The strongest of them had only reached Blood Reincarnation realm consummation, and the only ones who had reached the fourth realm were Kong Shi and Vicious.
No matter how strong the others were, they couldn't do it.
It was precisely because of the great disparity between them that if one of them appeared at this moment, let alone taking revenge, it would be hard to say if they could even escape.
At this level of cultivation, it was not something that could be resisted with numbers alone.
"Don't worry. Since the rules of the world are restricting us, it won't be easy for us to descend. As long as we move quickly and kill Sovereign Chen Ling, we won't have to worry about anything!"
Ancient Sage Allfire harrumphed coldly.
He was fearful of the so-called Immortal's Emissary, but … wasn't he not here yet?
As long as they didn't appear, they didn't have to worry. Once Emperor Ling was dead, who could do anything to them?
"Not bad!"
With a grim look in his eyes, Sovereign Chen Yong raised his hand, intending to instruct the others to make a move together. However, at that moment, Sovereign Chen Ling suddenly turned to look at him with a smile.
Just now, when the crowd transmitted their voices, he did not stop them. Instead, he just watched on.
It was as if he already had a card up his sleeve. It was also as if he was purposely letting fear spread in his opponent's heart.
"Sovereign Chen Yong, do you know why you've fallen to such a state?"
Sovereign Chen Ling said.
Sovereign Chen Yong frowned.
"It's very simple. You aren't as ruthless as me! Although my strength is not as good as yours, my heart is much more ruthless than yours! I can sacrifice countless lives of the Spirit Race in exchange for healing my wounds. I can ally with the human race to surround and kill you. I can even pledge my life to someone else. I can even give up my soul … just to kill you! But you can't do it! "
Sovereign Chen Ling sneered coldly.
"You … What do you mean by that?" Sovereign Chen Yong's face darkened.
Sacrificing countless lives of the Spirit Race was something he couldn't do. Allying with the human race to besiege the Emperor of his own race was something he couldn't do either …
He had his own principles, and he couldn't bring himself to do this …
He admitted to all of this, but … what did he mean by giving up his life and soul?
"It's nothing much. I just want to tell you that a man can't be ruthless. Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have never bothered with trifles. I'm more ruthless than you, so I'll be the one to emerge victorious in the end!"
Laughing heartily, Sovereign Chen Ling waved his hand grandly as a vicious glint flashed across his eyes. "Kill them all!"
"Yes!"
Hula!
Upon receiving the command, the Ancient Sages who were blocking the way immediately charged forward to attack Zhang Xuan and the others.
At the same time, Sovereign Chen Ling pressed his palm downward.
Immense pressure burst forth from his palm, and in an instant, the entire capital was shrouded under his might. It was as if doomsday had arrived.
Peng peng peng peng!
The heads of the kneeling Saint realm experts exploded simultaneously, and fresh blood splattered all over the stairs, dyeing the entire elevated platform crimson.
"You …"
Not expecting Sovereign Chen Ling to be so vicious as to slaughter tens of thousands of his tribesmen, Sovereign Chen Yong was on the verge of going insane. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he charged straight at Sovereign Chen Ling.
Even though he was severely injured, he could not care less about anything else at this moment.
There was only one thought in his mind — either he would die, or they would die together!
Otherwise, under the leadership of this fellow, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe could very well be wiped out …
"Your opponent is me!"
Hula!
Before Sovereign Chen Yong could reach Sovereign Chen Yong, an Ancient Sage suddenly appeared before him. With a flick of his wrist, he whipped out a long staff toward Sovereign Chen Yong.
It was one of the Ancient Sages who had been afflicted with the Seed of Amulet.
Even though the Ancient Sage's cultivation had barely reached the Blood Reincarnation realm, Sovereign Chen Yong was already severely injured. It would not be easy for Sovereign Chen Yong to defeat him.
As swift as a bolt of lightning, the staff tore through the air, leaving afterimages in its wake. It was as if a curtain had been lifted up by the staff.
Caught in the vortex, Sovereign Chen Yong's face grew paler and paler, and his breathing became labored.
If it had been in the past, he would have been able to kill a bunch of clowns with a single slap. However, at this very moment, he could only dodge them passively. Just the thought of it left him feeling stifled.
"Your Majesty, we're here to help you!"
Just as Sovereign Chen Yong was reaching his limits, a loud bellow sounded. Following which, he saw Yang Liu and the others leading countless soldiers down below.
Hong long!
With their combined might, their combined might struck the Ancient Sage staff, causing it to tremble for a moment before breaking in the middle.
The strength of an Ancient Sage was far inferior to that of a Great Sage. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for them to fight one another.
However, with Liu Yang and the others working together, setting up a formation, and coordinating with the ten thousand soldiers, they were more than enough to stand against the Ancient Sage.
There was strength in numbers. Even a Blood Reincarnation expert would be afraid of such an army that could truly work together and act as one.
However, as long as a Blood Reincarnation realm expert was given sufficient time, they would be able to kill the commanders of the army. If they were unable to issue orders, everything would be for naught.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing how his weapon had been destroyed by a bunch of Great Sages and Saint cultivators, the Ancient Sage flew into a rage. With a furious roar, he sent a palm strike toward Liu Yang and the others.
As long as the palm strike landed, there was no doubt that they would die!
"Humph!"
But just as the palm strike was about to reach Liu Yang, a cold harrumph sounded, and a spear suddenly materialized out of nowhere.
Puhe!
The tip of the spear pierced through the Ancient Sage's palm, causing fresh blood to spurt out.
Following which … the Ancient Sage thought that the Ancient Sage would charge forward to kill him, only to see the spear-wielding young man taking out a jade bottle and carefully collecting the blood that had spurted out.
As he collected the blood, he grew excited.
"…" The Ancient Sage.
