He is Tian Yongheng!?
How is he so powerful!? Was the information I had completely wrong!?
Su Yanlan regretted ever thinking of taking someone like Tian Yongheng down.
He was, indeed, way out of her league!
At the same time, the Supreme Elder of the Luminous Jade Chamber, Chu Tianming also had similar thoughts.
I’m already at the Golden Core Realm, and yet still can’t see through his cultivation. Just how great is his cultivation and strength!?
All the members of the Luminous Jade Chamber developed a certain favorability towards him.
Meanwhile, at Tian Yongheng’s side.
He condensed his Spiritual Energy into a huge palm nearly the same size as that of the Cerulean Flare Roc, and struck down at it from above with full force, not holding back at all.
Heavenly Rage Palm!
He wanted to insta-kill it!
[Yao Lan has developed hatred towards you.]
[Current hatred: 6-Star]
Ignoring all the system notifications, he struck down at the Roc called Yao Lan, not even checking its information or cultivation.
*Boom!*
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
Yao Lan’s protective Spiritual Energy barrier couldn’t even last one fourth of a second before collapsing as the palm struck him, sending him flying more than sixty miles away, destroying everything his body hit along the way.
*Wham!*
A loud sound was heard as he crashed onto a mountain, detonating it completely.
"Cough! This human...I’m going to kill you!*
He spew out a mouthful of blood before standing back up, looking at the distant Tian Yongheng with bloodthirsty eyes.
[Yao Lan’s hatred towards you has increased.]
[Current hatred: 6.5-Star]
He...did not die?
Seeing that Yao Lan was still alive, Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but be exceptionally shocked. He did not hold back at all during his last attack, and he even used the Heavenly Rage Palm.
He had intended to insta-kill the Yao Lan.
But the Roc was still alive!
It was a complete surprise to him, as he did not thought that Yao Lan could survive his full powered Heavenly Rage Palm.
I was too overconfident!
At the same time, at Yan Guo and Mo Yuxin’s side.
"Senior, did you see that!? That person is definitely nearly as strong as the Roc! If you join forces with him, we will surely be able to defeat that Demon!" Yan Guo exclaimed, looking over at Mo Yuxin.
"Let’s watch the situation for a bit more first. We can’t take any risks. Honestly, I would’ve escaped by now had that person not appeared. It’ll be the best if he manages to defeat that Roc, but if things start to go south, I’ll as well just help him out." Mo Yuxin explained.
"I see..." Yan Guo understood what she meant by that, but he couldn’t help but feel uneasy in his heart.
You had to remember one thing, the stronger the cultivator was, the more accurate his intuition will be.
Back to Tian Yongheng’s side.
Yao Lan flew up into the air, spreading his wings and flapping them loudly.
*Boom!*
Powerful shockwaves emerged from the continous flapping of his wings, rushing towards Tian Yongheng and the others.
Tch...I don’t have any Rank-5 Dharma Artifact yet, not to mention a Rank-5 Defensive Dharma Artifact.
For a moment, Tian Yongheng deeply regretted coming out of his cave abode and getting into a fight with this Golden Core Realm Demon.
But he decided not to dwell on it any longer, raising his right hand infront of his chest as he formed multiple hand seals.
*Swoosh!*
Instantly, fifty-six swords, shining brightly as if they were the only light in a dark void, purely made of Sword Intent, appeared and started to circle around him.
108 Celestial Swords!
With those powerful Sword Qi circling around him, Tian Yongheng appeared to be far more majestic and divine than before, as if a true Immortal God had actually descended from the highest of heavens down to the mortal world. His emotionless face just added more to that image.
Everybody present was shocked upon seeing this, even those who were watching from afar had their mouths agape from witnessing this holy scenery, even though they could only see the Celestial Swords circling around Tian Yongheng and not his face.
They had only one thought it mind.
What the hell is happening over there!?
Yao Lan also instinctively felt a strange sense of fear, of dread. He knew that things had become somewhat dangerous for him right now. But his hatred for Tian Yongheng was greater than any sort of danger he felt.
And he still did not feel the fear of death, which meant that he won’t die at least.
And then, thinking of this, he also summoned a spear made up of purely Innate Cerulean Fire. He lifted it up into the air by his right hand, preparing to throw it at Tian Yongheng.
Tian Yongheng also pointed his hand at Yao Lan, at which responded a Celestial Sword Qi floating behind him as it came up to the front.
"Human..
...DIE!"
*Whoosh!*
Shouting loudly, Yao Lan released the spear as it flew towards his enemy at an incredible speed.
Tian Yongheng also did not delay any longer, and shot out the Celestial Sword Qi at the Demon infront of him.
*Swoosh!*
All of this may seem like it took a long time to conspire, but in reality, it happened in an instant.
*BOOM!*
The moment both of them came into contact, a massive explosion occurred, imploding more than a hundred miles around them. Smoke arose from all sides, masking the battlefield.
A few moments later, as the smoke started to clear up, everyone could finally see the results of this fierce confrontation.
Tian Yongheng was still floating above, a barrier of Spiritual Energy covering him and the people behind him. His Celestial Swords still floated and circled around him.
On the other hand, Yao Lan was nowhere to be seen, as if he had vanished into thin air.
However, Tian Yongheng knew at a glance that something was wrong.
There was no way that fellow would die this easily.
He thought, quietly running his Divine Sense around.
*Swoosh!*
Immediately, his Divine Sense caught the sight of Yao Lan who was about to attack him from behind. He instantly turned around and raised his hand in a grabbing motion, forming a large amount of Spiritual Energy on his palm as he directly blew it towards the Roc.
*Boom!*
The ground beneath trembled as the blast hit Yao Lan, making him fly tens of miles away as his weight crushed dozens of small mountains underneath him.
The next moment, he finally managed to stabilize himself midair before he almost fell into a massive pit of a valley below.
*Shriek!*
He let out a shrieking sound as his eyes turned blood red, his body starting to undergo a complete transformation with it becoming even more bigger, his wingspan increasing by more than twenty meters.
*SHRIEK!*
"HUMAN! I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE MOST GRUESOME DEATH SOMEBODY HAS EVER SEEN!"
Dark clouds hovered above, with occasional lightning striking down as water droplets started to fall, signaling the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end.
Seeing the Demon’s current form, all the people present couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spine.
Will master really be able to beat that thing?
Even Lu Qingfeng couldn’t help but question in his mind.
Meanwhile, at Li Chung and Mo Chao’s side.
They both couldn’t help but gulp at the sight before them.
So this is the power of the Golden Core Realm! It indeed transcends that of the Innate Realm, as if witnessing a mythical battle of the ancient deities from heaven!
"It’s about to end. The time for us to intervene has come." At this moment, someone suddenly spoke from behind.
He slowly came forward, revealing his face.
It was none other than Ma Guozhi!
With him were the other sixteen demonic cultivators from before, all at the Ninth Stage of Innate Realm, alongside two more people in the early and mid stages of the Golden Core Realm. Adding him, they had a total of three Golden Core Realm experts, one at the Fourth Stage of Golden Core Realm, one at the Third Stage, and he who had just broken through at the First Stage.
With the other sixteen peak Innate Realm demonic cultivators, they were an unstoppable force. Literally, at least in this area.
"Senior, are you all about to join the battle? But isn’t that Roc Demon about to kill that Golden Core Realm expert that the Yan Emperor brought with him, and then kill them all?" Mo Chao asked carefully.
"No. That person seems far too strong to go down just like that. And besides, that Roc is burning its lifespan to gain strength. It’s going to die before it can do anything significant to that person. And we definitely won’t be able to keep up with that person alone, it’s better to help the Roc out before it dies." Ma Guozhi explained before giving the people behind them a signal.
"Seniors, please enlighten me in the ways of the Golden Core Realm." He added respectfully, looking at the two people at the very end.
The two people did not say anything, and just nodded their heads.
