Chapter 753: A Mouth That Cant Be Burnt Shut
Immortal Yuan Lu stared at the pitch-black hole and suddenly felt this emptiness within him.
The Celestial Master, the Sea Master, and the Wing Master had just been so close earlier. And now, they suddenly disappeared. This moment felt like a dream. He was suddenly left all by himself and surrounded by enemies. He couldn't help but think about how absurd life was.
When Baize appeared, she saw Immortal Yuan Lu standing alone and showed no surprise.
From the very start, they knew that it was impossible to trap a powerhouse like the Black Golden Crow.
Without a legendary artifact, it was exceedingly difficult to kill a master of the Heavenly Origin. Unless the gap in power was immense—like that between Grand Ancestor Wuchao and the Sea Master—it was nearly impossible. Even then, if Chu Liang hadn’t intercepted the Sea Master, and it had only been Grand Ancestor Wuchao fighting him alone, the Sea Master could have escaped without suffering too great a loss.
It just so happened that Chu Liang appeared at the exact moment when the Sea Master was at his weakest, leaving him no chance to replenish his strength in the sea. He had died feeling rather aggrieved.
The Black Golden Crow had already reached the pinnacle of the eighth realm, and whether he could step onto the brink of ascension depended on his comprehension of the Great Dao. Even so, his combat power remained formidable.
When facing someone of the Black Golden Crow’s caliber, even possessing a legendary artifact ranked among the top ten in the Catalog of the Mortal World’s Ten Thousand Treasures wouldn’t be enough. The wielder would still need formidable cultivation power to stand a chance of trapping him here.
From the very start, the righteous forces’ targets had been the Celestial Master, the Sea Master, and Immortal Yuan Lu.
There had been a chance that Grand Ancestor Wuchao, the Imperial Supervisory Commissioner, and Baize could work together and kill these powerhouses. To slay even one monster of this level would be a monumental victory for the righteous forces.
However, no one had expected the Celestial Master to be so perceptive. There was no way he could have known about the ambush in advance. Most likely, he had foreseen an ominous shift in fate and sensed that something was amiss. Acting on this premonition, both he and his subordinate, Huo Tianya, arrived as clones rather than in their true forms.
