Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 1105 - 1099: Feixian's Malice, the Inescapable Curse
The Lion Camel Great Saint and the Feixian Great Saint ultimately did not want to break ties with the Phoenix Clan, at least not now!
So, one played the role of the good cop and the other the bad cop, applying both hard and soft tactics with the Qingluan Ancestor, trying to persuade her to stand by passively.
The Qingluan Ancestor, upon hearing this, showed a hint of hesitation on her face. After pausing for a moment, she said, “I understand the intentions of the two Demon Saints, but this matter is not insignificant. Please allow me a moment to consider.”
Although she appeared gentle outwardly, she had her own plans and naturally wouldn’t easily stand aside merely due to a few words from the two Great Saints of the Demon Clan.
Otherwise, having expended so much effort, having led the Phoenix Clan’s army to this star domain from afar and helped Biluo battle across realms, resisting formidable foes, paying such a steep price, and mending the once close relations with Biluo, if she were to easily give up now, she wouldn’t know how to explain to the Primordial Phoenix Ancestor upon returning to the Original Star Domain.
After all, back then, the Primordial Phoenix Ancestor had already agreed to Gongsun Cuo’s alliance proposal. If she were to go back on her word now, how would it be different from the Phoenix branch that betrayed within Biluo during the time of the Ancient Great Tribulation?
Not only would she thoroughly alienate Biluo, but also give others leverage to discredit them. In the future, how would the various races of the Original Star Domain view the Phoenix Clan?
Therefore, the Qingluan Ancestor was merely using the unwillingness of the two Great Saints of the Demon Clan to engage her in combat as a way to strategically delay!
Though some delay might not change the Lion Camel King’s intent to attack Daoist Fellow Zhan Tian, it could allow for some other actions to be taken during that time to alleviate the subsequent pressure!
For example, dealing with the Creation Sovereign of this realm!
During this time, Ancestor Zhan Tian utilized their conversation to intensify his offensive. Though it seemed less forceful than before, in reality, he was merely containing his power, increasing his attack power, and not stopping due to the arrival of the two Great Saints of the Demon Clan; instead, he used the opportunity to severely injure the Creation Sovereign.
In fact, he truly managed to do so!
Ancestor Zhan Tian, already a strong expert who proved the Dao through martial arts, is proficient in combat, a cultivation method most adept in battles!
Although martial arts may not be as sharp as sword dao, as manifold as the techniques of Daoism, as magnificent as Buddhist law, as expansive as Confucianism’s purple qi, as sinister as the Demon Path, or as eerie as the Ghost Path, they have the unique advantage of adapting to any environment or battle not shared by other cultivation methods.
Martial cultivators are not only nearly invincible in close combat but are also extraordinary in long-range attacks, contrary to the common misconception that they can only engage in close combat—a notion based on low-realm martial cultivators having limited techniques.
In reality, true martial cultivators are adept in both long-range and close combat, with versatile techniques and a keen sense of opportunity, allowing them to respond swiftly in any battle situation.
Especially for those at the realm of Ancestor Zhan Tian, even from afar across the starry sky, he possesses formidable techniques to combat strong foes. Let alone now, in close confrontation with the Creation Sovereign, unleashing his martial arts prowess to its fullest extent, executing various intricate tactics that are simply awe-inspiring.
However, this has been extremely difficult for the Creation Sovereign being attacked by him.
In a short time, the Creation Sovereign suffered multiple injuries inflicted by Ancestor Zhan Tian, with most of his original eight arms cut off and covered in wounds. Even his origin of the Dao sustained severe injuries, rendering him unable to endure!
“Cough…”
The Nightmare Witch King lightly coughed, gently reminding with her aged voice, “Two Demon Saints, Youaximu Sovereign can no longer hold on, should we take action?”
The Wizard Great World has dominated its territory, opposing the Dark Camp for countless ages, naturally collecting information on them. The Nightmare Witch King, as one of the rulers of the Wizard World, certainly knows the reputation of the Creation Sovereign here and even the skills Youaximu Sovereign excels at.
She doesn’t know how deeply these two Demon Saints fear the Phoenix Clan, but the Nightmare Witch King doesn’t care about these matters. She even hopes for conflict between the Demon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, as their return to the Original Star Domain could spark war with the Heavenly Demon Realm.
If the Heavenly Demon Realm faces internal conflict, they will surely lack the capacity to plot against other major worlds of this star domain after dealing with Biluo Great World!
“Hmm?”
Realizing the physical state of the Nightmare Witch King, the Lion Camel Great Saint and others turned to look, spotting the battered Creation Sovereign already chased far off by Ancestor Zhan Tian. Indeed, it seemed unable to hold on, leading to their faces darkening!
They turned their gaze again to the Qingluan Ancestor, with Feixian Great Saint speaking, “Daoist Fellow Qingluan, it’s time to give us an answer: are you choosing war or peace now?”
“This…”
The Qingluan Ancestor wished to delay further, but seeing the two Great Saints of the Demon Clan perceiving her intentions, angrily shouted, “Qingluan, enough of your insolence. If you insist on standing with Biluo against us, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”
Without hesitation, they once again struck towards the boundary barrier, in an instant shaking it to its core, on the verge of breaking through completely!
The Qingluan Ancestor knew she could no longer delay with words, thus sighed helplessly: “Why should the two Great Saints push so hard? Ultimately, with your powers, you can’t hope to do much to Biluo. Rather, it would be better to return to the Original Star Domain and report to the Demon Emperor, letting him know of Biluo’s situation to prepare early.
You have just arrived in this star domain and haste to act; it’s truly impulsive. Even if you benefit, with Daoist Fellow Zhan Tian’s cultivation, escaping would be effortless. Why rush to determine victory now?”
“Escaping from us won’t be so easy!”
The Lion Camel Great Saint snorted coldly, “Qingluan, since you fail to appreciate our kindness, let’s have a battle and let this king see how much you’ve improved over the years!”
“Alas…”
Qingluan sighed deeply, “It seems this battle is unavoidable. Since the two Great Saints insist on opposing me, I have no choice but to witness your skills today!”
As she spoke, she waved her fair hand, and as her sleeve fluttered, a dense azure aura soared to the sky, unexpectedly landing on the boundary barrier, assisting the Heavenly Dao of this realm in repairing the boundary, delaying the time for the two Great Saints of the Demon Clan to breach it.
“Hmph, I had long guessed you wouldn’t sit idly by, but I didn’t expect you to be so bold. Daoist Fellow Qingluan, you better think carefully. By taking action, you’re representing a break between the Phoenix Clan and our Demon Clan. Can you bear the consequences?”
Feixian Great Saint snorted coldly, “And you think merely this can stop us? You’re dreaming!”
After speaking, he turned directly and shouted toward Youaximu, who was already in danger under the offensive of Ancestor Zhan Tian, “World Master of this realm, why aren’t you helping us break the barrier and let us in to lend you a hand? Are you really waiting to die?”
Upon hearing this, Youaximu Sovereign turned his head to look beyond the boundary.
Honestly, he really didn’t want to allow the two Great Saints from other star domains to enter his realm, let alone the Nightmare Witch King from the Wizard World who came alongside them!
Though he had never dealt with this old witch before, he knew the power of the Nightmare Witch King.
Most importantly, both sides belonged to different camps. He had previously led his realm’s army to join Hell in waging war against the Wizard World, and if he had a choice, he truly didn’t want to allow these powerful beings, equivalent to his own camp, into his territory.
After all, the uncertainty was too great, and after the war, these powerhouses might just wipe him out and plunder his world!
But now, he had no choice!
Ancestor Zhan Tian’s power was too formidable, especially now, when he fully displayed the overwhelming aspect of Martial Arts, leaving Youaximu, who faced such a Martial Cultivator for the first time, greatly distressed.
If he had no help, the only way to survive would be to abandon the world and flee into the Endless Starry Sky, becoming a wandering Creation Sovereign.
So, hearing Feixian Great Saint’s words, which carried the tone of a superior, despite his heart being filled with dissatisfaction and unease, as a strong figure of the Dark Camp, he lacked no ruthlessness and, with a hardened resolve, directly waved his hand, proactively breaking the world barrier to create a massive opening, allowing the three Creation Lords outside to enter.
“Hahaha… Zhan Tian junior, you killed my young son while this king was in seclusion years ago. Today, this king will utterly destroy you to quench his heart’s hatred!”
The voice of the Lion Camel Great Saint shook the heavens, as his robust figure charged into the realm. Before coming close, he was already deploying various Divine Skills to assault Ancestor Zhan Tian!
On the other side, Feixian Great Saint moved equally swiftly, transforming into a streak of cyan light. However, just as he entered the realm and was about to strike at Ancestor Zhan Tian, he was intercepted by Qingluan Ancestor’s sweeping sleeve!
“I have long heard of Feixian Great Saint’s extraordinary strength. However, you and I have never sparred before. Why not take this opportunity today to test each other?”
“Hmph, since you wish to court death, this king doesn’t fear you!”
Feixian Great Saint, of sinister temperament, upon seeing Qingluan Ancestor barring his path, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he opened his mouth to spew a stream of Poison Water carrying a trace of eerie cyan glow toward Qingluan Ancestor.
As the Poison Water emerged, the space was immediately corroded through. Witnessing this Poison Water, several Biluo Great Powers who were originally pursuing strong figures of this realm changed their expressions drastically, abandoning their severely injured and dying opponents and retreating without a second thought!
Meanwhile, the two Immortal Demon Gods of this realm were initially bewildered, but upon detecting a cold, sweet scent, they suddenly felt their minds become heavy, limbs growing weak, and even their power circulation slowed down!
Only then did they realize Feixian Great Saint’s might, and they dared not approach further. Each wore an unpleasant expression, retreating toward the rear, not even bothering with several Biluo Immortal Golden Immortals present!
And this was merely a single spurt of Poison Water by Feixian Great Saint!
Following this, the Great Saint of the Demon Clan waved his hands, and as his wings flapped behind him, a sorrowful cloud rose in the void, with vague, shadowy figures fluttering within the mist, alike to silk threads or insects, charging at Qingluan Ancestor.
Qingluan Ancestor smiled slightly, “Feixian Great Saint, impressive means! To have cultivated Poison Dao to such a realm, no wonder you’re a figure the Demon Clan most loathes to provoke!”
Despite her words of praise, she didn’t slow down at all. Behind her emerged the illusion of a Qingluan, spreading wings to scatter endless azure flames, which not only offset the Poison Water but also attempted to incinerate all poisonous mist as the Qingluan Divine Fire filled tens of thousands of miles around!
Qingluan Ancestor, being of Wood Attribute among the Five Phoenixes, had Qingluan Divine Fire that was relatively effective against toxins, so she held no fear of Feixian Great Saint’s fierce reputation. Instead, she opted to confront this troublesome Poison Dao expert, sparing Ancestor Zhan Tian from having to deal with Feixian Great Saint’s tricks while coping with Lion Camel Great Saint!
What she didn’t know was that among the trio of Creation experts who entered from outside, aside from the familiar Feixian Demon Saint, the eerie old witch, also excelled at scheming against opponents, perhaps even more enigmatic than Feixian Great Saint.
After all, even in the Great Thousand Universe across countless worlds, Curse Techniques are considered one of the most bizarre and unfathomable methods!
