Chapter 1000.1: Characters From a Book - Part 1
Chen Chao’s towering dharma idol stood majestic and imposing, its pressure vast and overwhelming. In the center of the lightning pool, after shattering those two so-called thunder pantheon deities, he instead seemed even more like a true god!
Beneath Chen Chao’s towering dharma idol, that daoist figure appeared incomparably small. And after Chen Chao pressed down with one massive hand, the figure was already battered, his head broken and face bloodied.
Chen Chao lowered his head to take a look, and only then did he clearly see the man’s appearance.
He was a middle-aged daoist dressed in a wide robe, his aura mysterious and profound. It was obvious he was also a Fuyun cultivator who had stepped beyond Nepenthe.
But at this moment, the middle-aged daoist’s face was covered in blood. Where was there any trace of the bearing of an immortal?
Facing Chen Chao’s towering dharma idol, the middle-aged daoist could only complain bitterly in his heart. Knowing Chen Chao was about to break through, he had come from overseas under orders, constructing this lightning pool here to forge a fake heavenly tribulation, intending to kill Chen Chao on the spot.
That way, even if Chen Chao died, that unreasonable martial artist would have no reason to trouble them, because everyone would only believe Chen Chao’s death was caused by the heavenly tribulation. It would be the will of heaven and earth, and no blame could be placed on anyone else.
Thus, he spared no expense of daoist qi to construct this lightning pool, all to fabricate the illusion of a heavenly tribulation.
And in his view, he had long since been a Fuyun cultivator. Dealing with a martial artist who had not yet broken through the limits of Nepenthe should have been effortless. But how could he have known that the opponent he faced was never an ordinary Nepenthe martial artist?
