Jade Venerable was severely wounded.
This scene
made the many Source Progenitors and Origin Lords of the Innate Source Being Faction across the battlefield tremble. Especially those Origin Lords who had never fought Li Ze before—Jade Venerable, whose strength was comparable to theirs, had been unable to last even a moment before Li Ze.
In their senses, Jade Venerable's aura was rapidly weakening.
Although the final outcome of this battle had yet to be decided,
the experts all vaguely had a premonition that the first Lord to have his physical body destroyed in this great battle was about to appear.
Whoosh!
Severely wounded, Jade Venerable frantically retreated, trying to break away from his battle with Li Ze.
"Jade Venerable, only thinking of running now? Too late!" Li Ze's cold, dark voice resounded across the battlefield, ringing in every expert's ears.
The battle continued.
Li Ze was neither hurried nor slow. While continuously fending off the attacks of the Infinite Great Serpent and Mo, he firmly blocked Jade Venerable, swinging Sword Universe again and again. Vast Sword Light repeatedly slashed across Jade Venerable's body.
Even with Lord-level Source Secret Treasure Armor and despite continuously wielding his War Spear to defend himself, Jade Venerable could not withstand the terrifying sharpness of Li Ze's Sword Universe. Wounds kept appearing across his body.
Crystal-clear blood sprayed through the air.
Every drop could pierce through and annihilate Endless Years of spacetime.
Unable to escape, Jade Venerable neither roared nor raged. There was no fury or howl on his face, only calm. The attacks he launched with his long spear became even more resolute.
Origin Lords were immortal and indestructible. Even if Jade Venerable died today, another body would be nurtured after a period of years.
This death would merely cost him the Source Secret Treasures
