Chapter 323 - 171: Limitless Ascension, Huo Tianzheng Becomes Martial Venerable (2)
"This old scoundrel is using me as a whetstone, trying to quickly refine his True Essence Power with my help!"
The Blood Venerable realized it, his heart burned with anger. Wei Fan provoked the Martial Venerable’s Will Power, Huo Tianzheng treated him as a whetstone, Suzhou Demon Suppression Bureau is full of madmen.
"Trying to use me as a whetstone, aren’t you afraid your blades will be broken?"
The Blood Venerable’s aura became wild, murderous intent surged forth.
"Blood Demon Golden Body!"
With a loud roar, monstrous Demonic Qi erupted from his body, his Golden Body rapidly inflated like it was being blown up, transforming instantly into a golden giant standing ten feet tall.
This is the real Golden Body of a Martial Venerable powerhouse.
The previous state was just normal.
With the Blood Demon Golden Body’s appearance, his eyes turned crimson, emitting a fierce and unsettling light, as terrifying aura descended from the heavens, crushing the earth below into a series of cracks.
The scarlet Evil Qi solidified, resembling dried blood with a black tinge, Wei Fan felt his own blood quiver uncontrollably.
Blood Demon Golden Body!
In an instant, the demeanor of the Blood Venerable changed drastically, appearing bizarre and wicked, like a fiendish demon.
"Haha... The old demon has been pushed to desperation!"
When a Martial Venerable powerhouse releases their Golden Body, it signifies desperation.
Long Jianying laughed loudly: "Your Blood Demon Golden Body is merely two-colored, like trash, watch my Eight Desolates Barbarian God Golden Body."
Roar!
A sound like an ancient roar erupted, Long Jianying’s body began to expand.
His muscles bulged everywhere, like roots of a tree intertwining, beneath skin as if made of gold, an infinite savagery seemed to lurk.
Eight Desolates Barbarian God Golden Body!
In an instant, Long Jianying seemed to transform into a barbaric god from the ancient wild, robust, powerful, with a wild and uninhibited aura.
Missing only a piece of beast hide and a big stick, otherwise he’d be like a savage.
"What’s the use of a three-colored Golden Body, how refined is your Golden Body really?"
The Blood Venerable exuded an eerie aura, stepping forward like a blood light cutting through the sky.
Criticizing Long Jianying’s Golden Body but not clashing with him, his target was Wei Fan.
"Martial Venerable powerhouses are indeed unbeatable!"
Wei Fan showed a serious expression, unable to shake the Blood Venerable before, now with the Blood Demon Golden Body, his opponent’s strength surged again, making him even harder to contend with.
Luckily, his own power was rapidly ascending too, preventing him from being outmatched when the Blood Venerable revealed his Golden Body.
With a thought, Wei Fan disappeared from the Blood Venerable’s view. Alone, he still couldn’t compete with the Blood Venerable.
"This isn’t a body technique, it’s the legendary Teleportation, a terrifying ability that only manifests when one’s Will Power reaches an unfathomable level!"
The Blood Venerable couldn’t see Wei Fan’s figure, realizing it wasn’t Wei Fan’s speed being too fast for the naked eye, but Wei Fan’s body truly disappearing and reappearing elsewhere.
Missing his attack, Long Jianying had already closed in, swinging a fist the size of a cooking pot.
His Eight Desolates Barbarian God Golden Body is a master technique of the Demon Suppression Bureau, second only to the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual and Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Skill, capable of forging a Five-Colored Golden Body.
Though both were in Golden Body state, Long Jianying’s looked more powerful and domineering.
Boom...
Amidst dazzling golden light and wild, dominant power, the Blood Venerable was punched backward, Qi Blood churned.
Wei Fan seized the opportunity, his figure flickering to appear behind the Blood Venerable, swinging the Profound Yellow Tripod.
Clang!
The retreating Blood Venerable staggered, his back tingling, the solidified Evil Qi dispersed a bit.
Huo Tianzheng shouted: "Eat one more shot from my spear!"
His massive silver spear trembled, emanating a sharp and boundless aura, where the spear tip gathered a golden light rapidly.
Long Jianying’s eyes brightened: "Not bad, old-timer, finally refining True Essence, you won’t die useless!"
Driven by True Essence, the High-Level Divine Soldier pierced through the Blood Venerable’s Evil Qi, hitting him, though not breaking his Golden Body, but notably different from before.
The Blood Venerable’s face showed discomfort, clearly feeling pain from the spear.
"Damn it!"
The Blood Venerable roared in rage.
Huo Tianzheng had achieved his goal, successfully refining True Essence so quickly.
The emergence of True Essence, Huo Tianzheng’s aura was like a volcanic eruption, rapidly increasing.
In a flash, his skin, like tree bark, became more youthful, white hair receded, his back straightened, his frail figure filled with flesh, becoming robust.
Long Xueyi’s excitement was overwhelming: "Great! Grandmaster Huo has become a Martial Venerable!"
Refining True Essence, Huo Tianzheng no longer holds the empty title of Martial Venerable, beginning to embody some of its power.
Moreover, not only did his strength grow, but his lifespan extended, avoiding death from old age in a few years.
"Elder Huo is mighty!"
Situ Feng shouted excitedly.
With Huo Tianzheng, Su City will have two Martial Venerable powerhouses, more formidable than Tongzhou City, no Demon Fiend would dare provoke Su City again.
Only Liu Jingxiang’s face grew more fearful!
"Kill!"
Huo Tianzheng’s aura surged recklessly, murderous intent shocking, the initial condensation of True Essence meant he no longer hesitated and retreated, joining with Long Jianying to attack the Blood Venerable.
"Trying to wreak havoc in my territory, you chose the wrong place!"
The pair began to suppress the Blood Venerable, Wei Fan occasionally sneaking in an attack with the tripod, throwing the Blood Venerable into disarray.
A dozen breaths later, the Blood Venerable’s Golden Body started to crack, golden-yellow blood flowed out, though instantly repaired, signifying his defeat against the combined forces of Wei Fan, and the ongoing battle posed a risk of death.
"Isn’t Wei Fan already at Divine Realm Perfection, why does his strength keep rising?"
Huo Tianzheng aside, previously considered a Martial Venerable, but he noticed Wei Fan’s power was also swiftly escalating, each move stronger than the last.
"With Long Jianying and Huo Tianzheng here, I can’t kill him!"
By now in the fight, though unharmed, he realized killing Wei Fan was nearly impossible in this setting.
That Teleportation-like ability, combined with Long Jianying’s and Huo Tianzheng’s assistance, left no room to kill Wei Fan.
To kill Wei Fan, it would require Long Jianying and Huo Tianzheng to be absent.
Thinking this, the Blood Venerable harbored retreat intentions, continuing the fight would be pointless entanglement.
"Wei Fan, I’ll return to kill you next time!"
With a powerful palm strike driving Long Jianying back, the Blood Venerable transformed into a beam of golden light shooting into the distance.
"Trying to escape? Leave your life here!"
Wei Fan stepped forward, chasing directly after.
He long intended to kill the Blood Venerable, only the numerous onlookers, like Li Yuming, Liu Jingxiang, prevented him from releasing the Great Leiyin Bell to suppress the Blood Venerable.
One Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill brought so much trouble, exposing the Great Leiyin Bell might bring what kind of trouble.
"This kid, his murderous intent heavier than mine!"
Long Jianying was stunned!
While clamoring to get rid of the Blood Venerable, he never thought he could really kill him, if Martial Venerable powerhouses were so easily slain, the Blood Venerable wouldn’t have lived so long.
Across the entire Great Victory Dynasty, one might hear of Grandmasters dying every month, but Martial Venerable powerhouses, one might not see one fall in decades.
Being able to repel the Blood Venerable was fortunate, he hadn’t intended to pursue, but seeing Wei Fan chase, he and Huo Tianzheng had to follow.
"The Blood Venerable broke through years ago and was driven off!"
"Forget the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill!"
"This Wei Fan, the Blood Venerable ran but he’s the first to pursue!"
...
In a blink, four figures vanished into the sky, leaving You Qingfeng and others dumbfounded.
Wei Fan was audacious, with Long Jianying and Huo Tianzheng clearly not pursuing, yet he chased alone, they doubted he could truly kill the Blood Venerable, was chasing worthwhile?
All keen to pursue and see the result, but lacked the speed.
Not just them, even Wei Fan fell short, during the pursuit, his gap with the Blood Venerable widened, until Long Jianying’s True Essence surged, taking him along.
