LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 21: Senior Li’s Painting
Ancient Tuo Ya Zun, the strongest beneath the Supreme, came wielding the Quasi-Immortal Sword, yet not even a ripple was stirred before his sword was destroyed and he met his demise!
Even Taiyan Holy Land was so frightened that they summoned the Supreme and shut down the Teleportation Array!
This… this is too terrifying!
"It’s over… all is completely lost…”
"Even the Supreme dares not contend…”
"To oppress the Holy Land, is this the terror of the Demon Venerable?”
In that moment, everyone in the area succumbed to despair.
How could they possibly escape now?
"No… impossible… this can’t be happening!”
Ling Xian trembled in this moment, completely shaken.How could even the Supreme recoil…
This was unacceptable!
"Alas… who would have thought that today, I would ultimately perish here…”
Fairy Music Pavilion’s Saintess, Qing Luo, let out a long sigh. Even Taiyan Holy Land, which still had a Supreme alive, avoided battle and dared not engage; their Immortal Melody Pavilion was merely a force at the Supreme Level, and their current strongest was but a Venerable…
They were even less capable of opposing the enemy!
On the other side, Long Ziying was completely stupefied.
The sword in her hand clanged as it fell to the ground.
She was nearly scared silly!
"Supreme… Supreme, we are your descendants, your descendants!”
In that moment, Huo Mingxuan thudded to his knees on the ground!
Huo Xuanfei also knelt down immediately, the two of them kowtowing deeply to the Demon Venerable!
The Lihuo Demon Venerable simply gave them a wooden glance and said,
“Since you follow my path, you shall become my slaves…”
He raised his hand, and Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei suddenly let out a cry of agony.
To their horror, their souls began to be extracted!
He then infused their souls with a dark qi!
Afterward, the souls returned to their rightful place.
The two of them frothed at the mouth and convulsed, regaining consciousness only to find themselves no longer human nor ghost, turned into demonic slaves!
"You shall be the head of my slaves…”
The Demon Venerable’s gaze then fell upon Fire Spirit.
Fire Spirit had already mastered the Saint Fire Eyes, and of course, she did not escape the Demon Venerable’s attention!
In that instant, Fire Spirit felt a terrifying presence descend upon her, a force that filled her with despair and was irresistible.
It was this very moment that, exerting all her strength, she suddenly flung her hand and a painting scroll in her hand was thrown forth!
The moment the scroll appeared, it autonomously soared into the sky. Everywhere it passed, the myriad of demonic beasts made of black fire were instantly annihilated into nothingness!
A scroll hung in the sky, slowly unfurling!
All eyes were transfixed, everyone looking simultaneously!
When the scroll finally opened, it revealed a phoenix undergoing nirvana!
Reborn from endless flames, it carried a multitude of sacredness and divine majesty!
That phoenix appeared as though it were a living Divine Beast!
The instant the scroll opened, a terrifying aura engulfed the land, the secret realm’s bricks and tiles broke into pieces, and the myriad of demonic beasts in the sky all disintegrated into nothingness!
Destruction of everything!
At this moment, everyone felt as though they were in the presence of a formidable Immortal!
"No…”
"What kind of power is this… surpassing the Supreme…”
"Is that a Divine Spirit’s painting?!”
Thousands of people couldn’t help but bow in veneration!
Even the Lihuo Demon Venerable’s eyes flickered with a green light.
He suddenly roared furiously, his hand beckoning as a myriad of auras converged to him. In an instant, he merged with the terrifying black fire demonic dragon in the sky vault, roaring as it charged towards the painting!
At this moment, the might of the black fire demonic dragon increased tenfold!
However, at that moment within the scroll, the phoenix let out a cry!
With the cry, an invisible True Fire appeared!
As the black fire demonic dragon ascended, with the phoenix’s cry and the emergence of True Fire, the enormous, fearsome body of the black fire dragon simply shattered!
The body of the Lihuo Demon Venerable was likewise blasted into nothingness!
In an instant, the sky cleared!
The law Array in the secret realm ceased to exist!
Only the painting remained, standing arrogantly in the sky vault!
The Phoenix undergoing nirvana within the scroll seemed to be intimidating the wildlands.
At this moment, the entire Cangli Mountain Range fell silent with hardly a whisper, every creature prostrated, and all taboos hushed!
It wasn’t until a long time later—
The Phoenix’s cry faded away, the True Fire dispersed, but the divine presence lingered over this region!
At that instant, everyone bowed in veneration to the painting, their piety was unmatched!
"Divine Spirits!”
"The work of Divine Spirits!”
"This is a true revelation of the sacred!”
They were overwhelmed with excitement, even more than when the Array of Supreme Monarch Lihuo was broken!
After a lengthy period, the scroll slowly descended, landing in the hands of Fire Spirit.
Looking at the scroll in her hands, Fire Spirit’s delicate body shivered uncontrollably.
Beside her, Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan were dumbfounded, their eyes wide and jaws slacked, as if turned to stone!
They knew Senior Li was formidable, but… they had no idea he was fearsome to this extent!
The majesty of the Demon Venerable compelled the Holy Land into silence, and the Supreme receded.
Yet,
Senior Li annihilated it with merely a casual stroke!
Even, with the power of the drawing unleashed by only one-thousandth, one ten-thousandth, the Demon Venerable perished…
What Realm is this, and what kind of mastery is this?
"It’s simply unimaginable… just who is Senior Li??”
Just the thought made Yu Qishui’s scalp tingle!
Before, they actually imagined Senior Li to be of the Mahayana Realm, within the Venerable Realm…
It was a huge affront to Senior Li!
Affront!
He was trembling with fear, fortunate that Senior Li was magnanimous enough not to fuss over such ants like them…
"I always knew, everything is within Senior Li’s grasp!”
Mu Qianning was extremely excited, her fists clenched tightly. Just the thought of Li Fan made her feel like all the dangers of this world were utterly trivial.
At this moment, the thousands within the Secret Realm all turned their gazes towards Fire Spirit!
Fire Spirit, the owner of the painting…
"As an elder, on behalf of the Wind Nation Royal Family, I pay my respects to the Saintess!”
An old man suddenly spoke with a trembled voice as he knelt down in front of Fire Spirit!
He set the precedent, and the others followed suit without exception!
"We pay our respect to the Saintess!”
"We pay our respect to the Saintess!”
At that moment, forces of all sizes present at the scene knelt down in submission!
Fire Spirit was momentarily taken aback.
In the Immortal Melody Pavilion, Ling Xian watched Fire Spirit with a complicated expression filled with humiliation, sorrow, and envy…
Next to him, Fairy Music Pavilion’s Saintess Qing Luo fell silent momentarily, before graciously saluting and saying,
“I pay my respects to the Saintess.”
I pay my respects to the Saintess!
Even the Saintess from the Supreme force showed such respect!
Qing Luo was also extremely astute. She could tell at a glance that Fire Spirit’s cultivation was not high, but the fact that she could easily pass earlier challenges and later use a single painting to kill the Demon Venerable… it was clear that there was an extremely terrifying presence behind Fire Spirit!
At the very least, it was an Immortal!
And that painting, even if it was an immortal-level treasure, was definitely refined by an Immortal with great care. There weren’t many such items in the entire Xuantian Realm, and to bring such a painting indicated that Fire Spirit must be the direct disciple of an Immortal!
Calling her a Saintess was not an overstatement at all!
Similarly, thousands of people from countless powerful forces present were respectfully kneeling, and what they respected was the entity behind Fire Spirit!
Even the people from Dragon Profound Sect were stunned.
At this moment, many of them felt their mentality collapse; their knees weakened, they knelt down, and dared not to raise their heads!
Long Ziying’s eyes were wide open as she looked at Fire Spirit, her mind thunderstruck, a complete blank!
All was lost… she had brought a calamity of epic proportions upon her sect!
She had once permitted her subordinates to challenge the Sect Master of Lihuo Sect, who was the servant of that existence…
She had once said that in front of Dragon Profound Sect, the entity behind Lihuo Sect was nothing…
Just now, she had captured Fire Spirit, almost destroying her cultivation with the Soul Severing Nail…
The more she thought about it, the paler her complexion became, and her legs trembled.
Thump!
She fell to her knees, trembling as she spoke word by word,
“Saintess, Ziying was wrong!”
"Please, Saintess, show mercy; spare Ziying and spare our sect!”
Her head lowered, beads of sweat dropped from her forehead like soybeans!
