Chapter 1012: Chapter 1013: An Annoyed Sect Leader Jiang
At the critical moment, Celestial Venerable Yanji suddenly discovered something.
"Because he himself inadvertently revealed an even bigger doubt!"
"What doubt?"
Even Celestial Venerable Mieyang was curious.
He was merely speculating.
What if Venerable Xiazhu was intentionally pretending to be weak to toy with them?
Celestial Venerable Yanji quickly said, "Do you all remember the three times he mentioned waking up?"
"During those times, while we were fighting fiercely outside, he continued to hide without making a sound."
"Why is this?"
"A Venerable of such status, how could he be so good-tempered?"
What he said made everyone more convinced that Venerable Xiazhu indeed had issues.
He was most likely in a weakened state.
Celestial Venerable Chishuo immediately came to a conclusion.
"The old thief probably hasn’t fully recovered at all!"
"Back then, the Origin extracted their Daoist Heart, many Great Powers fell, even if he survived by fluking, his power must have suffered greatly!"
"Exactly, he’s absolutely not at his peak, there’s no need to fear him!"
"He hasn’t really recovered, just seized this opportunity, hence forcing his weakened body to break through early!"
"If we join forces, there’s a chance we can kill him!"
On the other side, Celestial Venerable Mo Yin, who had latched onto a big shot, was still urging.
"Mieyang, are you going to defy the Supreme’s orders?"
"Ancestor, I suggest we execute him here as a warning!"
He was solely focused on first eliminating Celestial Venerable Mieyang.
Venerable Xiazhu glanced sideways at him: "Are you teaching me how to act?"
Celestial Venerable Mo Yin shivered all over from fright: "Wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare!"
Meanwhile, the others were even more certain that Venerable Xiazhu was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, clearly avoiding action.
Thus, everyone’s hearts settled, and they dispersed in unison.
Although they were previously adversaries, at this moment they seemed to cooperate perfectly, forming a flawless encirclement around Venerable Xiazhu.
Witnessing this scene, Celestial Venerable Mo Yin kept shouting.
"What are you going to do?"
"Supreme, they dare to harbor intentions of harming you, it’s simply unforgivable!"
Venerable Xiazhu’s narrowed old eyes gradually opened, revealing a terrifyingly fierce gleam.
"You six, are you seeking death?"
Celestial Venerable Fenxing laughed lightly: "It’s not certain who will die yet!"
"I’ve long noticed you’re weak and frail."
"You old dog, truly think you can fool us?"
"Ha, hahaha..."
Venerable Xiazhu laughed heartily, then suddenly made a move.
Three full strands of Origin shot out simultaneously, directly striking Celestial Venerable Fenxing!
These three Origins: one was Yang, one was Yin, and another was the Gold Origin that hadn’t arrived yet.
Celestial Venerable Fenxing quickly activated his Origin to block.
However, facing the combined strike of three Origins, his Origin nearly collapsed in the blink of an eye.
The three Origins then struck his Immortal Power Barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the thunderous noise, the Immortal Power Barrier shattered!
Celestial Venerable Fenxing’s face turned pale, and he was sent flying backward.
This scene frightened the Venerables and Emperor Realm Eighth Layer present.
That was a Celestial Venerable, yet he was defeated utterly!
The power of the Supreme was simply beyond imagination!
Yet, the remaining five Celestial Venerables’ eyes brightened, and Celestial Venerable Fenxing shouted out.
"The old thief truly isn’t capable!"
"His Divine Soul couldn’t break me; his Origin didn’t reach the Supreme’s level!"
Though he was swiftly defeated, he was still alive and well.
The Divine Soul level of the Supreme is higher than a Celestial Venerable, even wielding just one Origin, he should easily slay a Celestial Venerable one-on-one.
Venerable Xiazhu’s strike instead thoroughly exposed the reality.
The remaining five Celestial Venerables gathered around, killing intent in their eyes without concealment.
"Old thief, you almost fooled us."
"This isn’t your era anymore; you are outdated!"
"Now it’s not about whether you release us, but whether we release you!"
Celestial Venerable Mo Yin’s expression changed, still following Venerable Xiazhu.
What’s going on?
This big shot is unreliable?
He took a deep breath and suddenly jumped to the side.
"You old dog, I noticed your weakness long ago, intended to gain your trust and deliver a fatal blow when you’re unprepared!"
"But unexpectedly, fellow Daoists also figured it out."
"Why not join forces and kill this thief!"
His fence-sitting attribute left even his underlings at a loss.
Boss, can you slow down next time? We can’t keep up with your pace!
The other Celestial Venerables seemed to sneer, indifferent to his words.
It’s uncertain whether they could kill Venerable Xiazhu.
At the moment, it’s unwise to add Celestial Venerable Mo Yin to the mix.
"You young ones being so presumptuous, indeed quite a spectacle for us old folks."
Venerable Xiazhu looked at them with pity.
"Are you so sure I wasn’t pretending, just playing with you?"
Next moment, he straightened his stooped body.
The aura around him was entirely different from before.
Where was any hint of weakness?
"You guessed right, indeed I haven’t fully recovered."
"But to kill a few mere Celestial Venerables is still a simple task."
The Cyan Bamboo Staff in his hand suddenly gleamed, emanating a blazing golden light.
On its surface, not a single Array or Inscription was visible.
No Rules fluctuation at all.
Yet the Celestial Venerables’ expressions changed!
"Secret Treasure!"
"This is a Celestial Dao Secret Treasure!"
The so-called Celestial Dao Secret Treasure is a replica crafted by top-tier Great Powers after witnessing Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures.
Even though it’s merely a replica, with only a fraction of the original power.
But it’s a special force beyond rules...
"How could he have a Celestial Dao Secret Treasure?"
"Celestial Dao Secret Treasures were rare even back then, he shouldn’t possess one!"
"I get it, he must’ve picked it up when other Great Powers fell!"
Now, it’s truly uncertain who will win or lose.
"Don’t be intimidated, the use of a Celestial Dao Secret Treasure depends on who wields it!"
"That’s right, he, a weak Supreme, can’t unleash much power!"
Venerable Xiazhu slowly lifted the Cyan Bamboo Staff, sneering: "Feel free to test it."
He didn’t strike, and the seven Celestial Venerables hesitated to advance.
For a moment, the two sides wary of each other, the situation turned into a stalemate once more.
Finally, Sect Leader Jiang, who had been ignored for a long time, could not stand it anymore.
Damn it, what’s going on today?
Clearly, it’s me who broke through this Celestial Dao Barrier. They are acting like it’s their grand showtime afterward.
Initially intended to make a move, and then Celestial Venerable Mo Yin emerged.
Then the other five Celestial Venerables appeared.
At last, Venerable Xiazhu showed up.
Each wave of people stole my spotlight.
Can this still be tolerated?
"So, you cats and dogs, have you jumped around enough?"
