Boom!
A dull, heavy sound that seemed to solidify the earth rang out. The crane's beak struck Su Heli squarely and smashed her into a deep pit. If an ordinary mortal saw the horrifying sight of that enormous bird beak punching through a body, they probably would not be able to eat or sleep well for days. But I had long since grown used to such things!
However, the moment the crane's beak lifted, Su Heli's dao core was still hanging in front of it. The remaining half of her beautiful head, covered in azure-jade sand, was staring at me in shock. Smacking her lips, she said in astonishment, "Impossible... I was hit by my Moonstone Sand... How can you still see me...?"
"Heh heh, I'm afraid I forgot to tell you that the crown on this fellow's head uses high technology. Even if I'm far away, it can easily receive my signal. It can even share resources, allowing it to pierce straight through you at such close range. Isn't that an easy thing to do?" I gave her a cold laugh.
"But... even so... that only proves you possess a divine artifact! Didn't you fail to see through the fact that I was a hunter under the Divine Seat this whole time? A Celestial Venerable like you is nothing but a fraud! You created a world by borrowing the power of Heaven, but at most, you're just a nouveau riche! Compared to our predecessors, you're utterly inferior!" Although the Immortal Crane had beaten Su Heli into this state, she still desperately used her energy to conjure more tentacles. She was even preparing to flee elsewhere.
Her meaning was simple enough. She believed herself superior to me, and as for her predecessors, there was even less to say.
