The End I

Bang!

The colossal Sea Dragon King Kong Fan stood high above, looking down at the blood-red figures rushing in before him.

"Interesting. A mere bunch of Super Grade dare to cause trouble in my Sea Dragon Sect? They truly have no regard for their own lives. Do they think all the experts in my Sea Dragon are dead?!"

Directly in front of him, one after another blood-red figures landed and stood still; they were all tall and burly Daoists draped in blood-red robes.

"Wu Liang Tian Zun. The Dao is all-encompassing and possesses supernatural powers. The Buddhist School is now in decline, so why does the Grand Initiation Master still struggle in vain?"

The Black Daoist smiled and bowed. However, the greed and desire that shone in his bloodshot eyes sent chills down the spines of everyone around him.

That kind of longing is like someone who has been thirsty for who knows how long, suddenly seeing a piece of fresh and juicy meat fall in front of them, emitting a strong aroma of roasting.

The Black Daoist looked at Kong Fan, his throat bobbing repeatedly, seemingly trying his best to control himself.

"Why are all the Human Immortal Temple such evil things?" Kong Fan felt a chill run down his spine, but he remained calm.

He knew in his heart that the appearance of these monsters at the Human Immortal Temple meant that the legendary evil Human Immortal Temple Master was probably not far off.

"Guards!!" he shouted suddenly.

But no one answered.

Kong Fan couldn't help but quickly turn around and glance back.

The Martial Monks had been numbering over a hundred a moment ago had dwindled to a mere dozen or so. Among them, a few were secretly running away with their backs to him.

"This is the end of the Western Sect, which relied on interests to gather desperados." Ding Yu sighed from the side. "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The faster you rose to power back then, the faster you are now falling."

Kong Fan's face trembled incessantly.

He turned around and realized that he was the only one facing these monsters head-on.

"Gentlemen, I, Sea Dragon, have no grudges against any of you. There's no need for us to fight to the death in the end. How about this: from now on, I, Kong Fan, will break away from the Western Sect and lead the entire Sea Dragon to work for the Human Immortal Temple. I'll offer you the many treasures accumulated by Sea Dragon as a gift!"

"A treasure vault?" Both the Black Daoist and Ding Yu were intrigued.

"Indeed, this is the treasure map that I carry with me. Please take a look." Kong Fan took out a scroll from his sleeve and tossed it forward.

"Watch out! It's a scam!" Suddenly, a little girl's scream rang out from the side.

Boom!!!

The scroll exploded in mid-air, spewing out a dense barrage of dark purple poison needles.

Large numbers of poisonous needles clattered into the ground and walls, while a small number pierced the bodies of the Blood Daoist of the Human Immortal Temple were unable to dodge in time.

Ding Yu and the Black Daoist also tried to dodge, but they were still a bit too slow.

The poison needles were released so fast that the two only had time to retreat a few meters before they were overtaken.

Puff puff puff puff!

The two men raised their hands to protect their heads, but their entire bodies were pierced by the cold needles.

The little girl who cried out to warn them was none other than the beautiful slave who had almost been eaten earlier.

At this moment, the Human Immortal Temple recovered in the blink of an eye, but the little girl was also pierced all over by poison needles and fell to the ground, barely alive.

"Kill!!" Ding Yu was furious upon seeing this and, together with the Black Daoist, soared into the air and charged towards Kong Fan.

But as soon as he jumped up, Kong Fan pressed him down with a single palm strike from above.

Boom! The immense force slammed him back to the ground.

Ding Yu's legs hit the ground, sinking into the floor up to his knees. He involuntarily coughed up a mouthful of blood.

On the other side, the Black Daoist and Kong Fan had already clashed in a lightning-fast exchange.

Both of them were grandmasters.

The only difference is that the Black Daoist is Blood Descendant master, while Kong Fan Worship God Grandmaster.

Both of them changed shape simultaneously. They had already entered the Final Form, and every move, every punch and kick, brought out a huge gust of wind that swept through the surrounding courtyard.

The thunderous collision sounded as if Ding Yu had gone deaf.

He stood up and stared intently, but could only see two blurry shadows.

He immediately looked in the direction of the little girl.

Upon closer inspection, it was unexpected to discover that someone was standing next to the girl.

It was Zhang Rongfang, who had just been outside.

Zhang Rongfang gently removed one hand from the girl's head, as if he had done something insignificant.

But at this point, the little girl had no injuries left, and the purplish-blue tinge from the poisoning was rapidly fading.

She had been transformed into Blood Descendant. "Master!" Ding Yu pulled out her legs and quickly arrived in front of Zhang Rongfang.

"Go and lead men to search for the other members of the Sea Dragon. Leave no survivors," Zhang Rongfang said gently.

"Yes!" A hint of pleasure rose in Ding Yu's eyes.

He turned to look at Kong Fan and the Black Daoist were still fighting. He immediately raised his arm and led the remaining Blood Daoist to disperse in the surrounding area.

He was far inferior to the masters in their battles, but he could still kill the others to avenge his brothers!

Ding Yu led his men to quickly bypass the battlefield and head deeper into the Jade Buddha Temple.

Zhang Rongfang and Ran Xin Yue stood side by side, watching the battle quietly.

In the center of the temple grounds, two human figures, one large and one small, were locked in a frenzied and extremely cruel confrontation.

There was no dodging, no evasion, just head-on collision, fist to fist.

The Black Daoist unleashed his Final Form, reaching a height of over four meters. His body was constantly being smashed open, leaving large, collapsed cracks, and blood splattered everywhere as if it were free.

Kong Fan was similar; his massive body, after reaching its Final Form, had already reached six meters. This was a remarkably rare height.

At this moment, he was like a giant, his arms moving in rapid succession, striking the Black Daoist with heavy blows, as if he were performing a highly skilled hammer technique.

"Who will win between these two?" Ran Xin Yue asked, frowning.

She didn't know much about the Blood Descendant Grandmaster.

"Victory or defeat will be decided in the end," Zhang Rongfang said calmly. "The Black Daoist has reached the level of a grandmaster, but apart from the Final Form, he still has some techniques he hasn't used. Similarly, the Sea Dragon King Kong Fan also has a final move, the Divine Descent he hasn't used yet. So, it's too early to talk about victory or defeat now."

He also wanted to see whether the Blood Descendant Grandmaster or the Worship God Grandmaster was stronger, since both were Grandmasters of the same level.

This is a very suitable test for spectating.

Ran Xin Yue was also a grandmaster, but upon closer inspection, she couldn't discern anything. Her previous suppression of the Worship God was tantamount to cutting off her own arm, losing her ultimate trump card for Divine Descent.

So in reality, even if she had actually fought, she might not have been able to beat one of the two people present.

"Aren't we just going to watch and not finish this quickly?" she asked again.

"Sea Dragon has been abandoned. No one will come." Zhang Rongfang shook his head.

Bang! At this moment, the battlefield began to change again.

The Black Daoist was clearly struggling to hold on; his body was bursting open one after another, gushing blood. Although the blood was trying its best to flow back into the wounds, it was still too slow.

He retreated step by step, leaving behind bloody footprints, until he finally couldn't hold on any longer and let out a roar.

"Impressive skill! Let me show you my Three Flowers Gather on Crown!!!"

Suddenly, the Black Daoist's entire body rapidly expanded and grew larger, with a Blood Lotus quickly spreading across his back, its patterns spreading and covering his entire body.

He was originally four meters tall, but now he has broken through to nearly five meters! He is almost the same height as Kong Fan.

In a flash, the Black Daoist's movement and strength noticeably increased again.

In a battle between experts, even the slightest improvement can determine the outcome, let alone a direct increase of at least 30% in speed and strength like his.

"Immortal Method: Yin Rainbow!!"

In an instant, a burst of blood-red light erupted from the Black Daoist's chest, striking Kong Fan squarely.

The sound of corrosion continued to ring out. Kong Fan roared and used several moves in succession, but he could not resist them and was constantly hit by Yin Rainbow.

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, and his eyes silently turned silvery white.

Boom! A terrifyingly powerful pressure instantly descended upon the surrounding area of dozens of meters, completely enveloping half of the Jade Buddha Temple.

The oppressive aura carried a strong, fishy stench of seawater, and the faint sounds of waves could be heard, mixed with the roar of some unknown behemoth.

That looked like a dragon! On a level that ordinary people cannot see.

Looking up, Zhang Rongfang could clearly see a large, dark blue phantom of seawater appearing behind Kong Fan.

In the middle of the sea, a dark dragon shadow slithered and roared at the Black Daoist.

"The Sea Dragon God has arrived," he said softly.

Ran Xin Yue nodded slightly. Although her Civilian Skill and Daoist magic were not Zhang Rongfang's, she could still vaguely see the blue seawater phantom.

"Can Black Daoist still manage?" she asked, frowning.

"I don't know," Zhang Rongfang shook his head.

Before he could finish speaking...

In the arena, Kong Fan's entire body was covered in blue scales, and his enormous body moved with unimaginable agility, like a fish, rushing towards the Black Daoist.

Puff!!

He struck the Black Daoist squarely in the chest, piercing through it completely.

A tremendous explosion reverberated between the two, creating a wisp of white smoke that slowly grew larger.

"The Black Daoist is being suppressed and can't move." Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly. He realized there was a problem.

Although the Black Daoist had also activated his Final Form, his spirit and will were suppressed by the Gods and Buddhas pressure, and at this moment, even moving was like being trapped in quagmire, which is why he was so easily hit in a vital spot.

"After Divine Descent, the suppression on one's mental and physical will is indeed very great," Ran Xin Yue nodded and explained. "I experienced the same thing when I Divine Descent before. If any opponent's will was not up to par, they would become completely stiff and unable to move. Those who were worse off might even have their courage shattered and suffer severe injuries."

Zhang Rongfang remained silent.

He recalled that when he first fought a master of Divine Descent, he did not notice this situation.

After the opponent Divine Descent, their speed and strength increased, making them a bit more difficult to deal with, but otherwise they were not troublesome at all.

There's no question of any coercion or oppression.

But now, things seem a little different.

Others seem to be severely suppressed when faced with a Grandmaster's Divine Descent.

A sense of doubt arose in Zhang Rongfang's heart. Then why didn't he feel anything when he encountered the Grandmaster of Divine Descent?

Is it because the other party lacks Gods and Buddhas or Buddha-like pressure? "Do all Divine Descent bring out Gods and Buddhas or Buddha-like pressure?" he suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Ran Xin Yue was taken aback, then nodded.

"No exceptions?"

"No, it's just a matter of how much stronger or weaker," Ran Xin Yue replied.

Zhang Rongfang seemed to be deep in thought.

'So it seems that when I encountered the Divine Descent, someone helped me neutralize the oppressive force— the Blood God?'

Wrong.

Suddenly he remembered that the first person he encountered who was Divine Descent was Kong Chi.

However, Kong Chi was swayed by his own Blood Lotus of Three Flowers Gather on Crown, and eventually self-destructed and died. Then it seems that his body was taken over by Gods and Buddhas.

Whether that state can be considered Divine Descent remains to be seen.
