Chapter 1695 - Chapter 1695 Chapter 733 The Shock of the Mighty The
Chapter 1695: Chapter 733: The Shock of the Mighty, The Transformation of Xuling Chapter 1695: Chapter 733: The Shock of the Mighty, The Transformation of Xuling The battle that took place to the southeast of the Eastern Emperor Domain came too suddenly and ended even more unbelievably, which profoundly shook all the Outer Path Cultivators who were paying attention to this fight.
In the north, beyond the northern border, within the Void Demon Palace, the face of the Great Elder of the Void Demon Palace changed several times before he withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyebrows, and the fingertip-wide hole between them, in which the light had converged, once again assumed a profound appearance.
“Indeed, as expected, there must be Outer Path Cultivators on the Eastern Emperor’s side, most likely from the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, and this particular Outer Path Cultivator has terrifying combat power.”
“Although Xuling Taoist had only recently entered the Outer Path, the fact that he fell in an instant suggests that the perpetrator was likely a peak Outer Path Cultivator. Otherwise, relying on the Outer Path Dharma, he should’ve been able to hold on for a moment, and not so easily killed.”
These few sentences of the Great Elder caused the Third Elder’s face to drastically change, and at the same time, a sigh of relief rose in his heart. He had initially planned to investigate personally, but had he actually gone and encountered an Outer Path Cultivator, the odds were that he would have been doomed.
Suddenly he thought of something and asked, “Great Elder, if the Palace Master were to make a move, he could certainly wipe out the Eastern Emperor flat, and even if the Great Wilderness Dao Palace were stronger, it couldn’t withstand the Palace Master. Perhaps there are even treasures of Heavenly Reverence Level hidden within the Donghuang Evil Court that could be seized to enhance the foundation of our Void Demon Palace.”
The Third Elder’s eyes flickered. The Palace Master of the Void Demon Palace had returned 180 years ago, but upon his return, he had secluded himself deep within the Void Demon Palace. As far as he knew, only the Great Elder had a few contacts, and thus, he was warranted in his questioning.
However, upon hearing his proposition, the Great Elder merely shook his head without offering much of an explanation.
“The intentions of the Palace Master are not to be guessed lightly. You may leave.”
Disappointed, the Third Elder still bowed respectfully, retreated slowly, but also knew that unless the Palace Master emerged from seclusion, the Void Demon Palace would not venture southward again.
After the Third Elder left, the Great Elder of the Void Demon Palace turned his head towards the depths of the Void Demon Palace with a sudden worry on his face. Only he knew that the Palace Master had not emerged unscathed from the battle over two hundred years ago.
A similar scene to what happened inside the Void Demon Palace was also occurring across dozens of Immortal Domains, at the Purgatory Island, centrally located within the Daluo Territory.
When the aura of Xuling Taoist suddenly surged and then, like a broken wing, plummeted until it completely vanished, the Second Priest and the Great Elder of Purgatory Island both looked visibly shaken.
In an instant, the Second Priest used a special Dao Skill to cast his Tao Thought towards the Eastern Emperor Domain to investigate the other person who had acted, but was blocked from doing so. The ease with which his attempt was countered shocked him even further.
After a long moment, his expression solemn, he said, “Xuling Taoist has been slain, and the one who killed him is very likely a peak Outer Path Cultivator.”
He returned to his original spot and sat down.
“Be that as it may, with such a powerful Outer Path Cultivator present, it is not my place to intervene.”
“The High Priest is out beyond Chaos, perhaps only when he returns, we can clearly investigate the changes in the Eastern Emperor Domain.”
The black-robed Great Elder, who followed him to his former position and regained his calmness, considered his words before inquiring, “If the Island Master intervenes, surely he could topple the Eastern Emperor. The sudden emergence of these few powers absolutely cannot have a Heavenly Sovereign at the helm. By then, incorporating the Eastern Emperor Domain into our Purgatory Island would surely elevate our power to another level.”
The Second Priest shook his head, “That’s not possible, I’m not aware of the Island Master’s condition.”
“The Island Master and the Heavenly Sovereigns of Extreme Ancient went to the Dao God Sect, and on their return trip, the Heavenly Sovereign of the Eastern Emperor Domain fell directly, and even the Great Heavenly Sovereign of Kunlun and the Heavenly Sovereign Age Candle have not returned to this day. They must have experienced a great change during this period. Since the Island Master’s return, he has been in seclusion, possibly affected by these events. Remember, at this time, do not disturb the Island Master.”
“To Purgatory Island, territories and Tao Realms are secondary, even trivial disputes matter less. The most important thing is the Island Master. As long as the Island Master remains, even if Purgatory Island faces great difficulties, we can weather through and rise again.”
Hearing these words, the black-robed Great Elder’s expression sternly tightened, and he nodded heavily in agreement.
Meanwhile, to the south of Purgatory Island, within a great hall deep within the Daluo Dao Court, the several Daoist Ancestors of the Dao Court were also gradually regaining their composure from the shock.
Ziji, the Daoist Ancestor, had a complex expression as he said solemnly, “From now on, none of the immortals or Tao Realms of our Dao Court may enter the Eastern Emperor Domain lightly.”
“Such a powerful Outer Path Cultivator is present there, and with an uncertain identity, even I, an old Tao, would not wish to step foot.”
“After all, I am still weaker than Xuling Taoist, who fell in the blink of an eye. If I encountered the same situation, I would not escape either.”
