A Person in Wudang, Just Became a Heavenly Venerable, Call Me the King of Slacking

True Lord Taiyi dove into the deep sea, following the pure fire essence qi all the way down.

The deeper he descended, the higher the temperature of the surrounding seawater became, even showing signs of boiling.

Soon, a massive underwater volcano appeared in his sight.

The enticing aura was coming from within the volcano.

"There really is a treasure!"

True Lord Taiyi rejoiced in his heart and quickened his pace.

However, just as he was about to approach the crater.

Four figures suddenly rushed out from behind a nearby coral reef, surrounding him.

"True Lord Taiyi! You dare come here to die!"

The leader was Wang Mo of Nine Dragon Island.

Beside him, Yang Sen, Gao Yougan, and Li Xingba also had murderous looks on their faces, holding their magical artifacts and glaring menacingly.

"It's you?"

True Lord Taiyi was startled, and his expression then turned ferocious.

"Excellent! It's a case of 'searching high and low for something and finding it without effort'! I was just about to look for you, and you've come to my doorstep!"

"Today, I will use your four dog lives to offer sacrifices to my senior brother's spirit in heaven!"

He couldn't understand why these four would ambush him here, but it no longer mattered.

In his eyes, the four of them appearing voluntarily saved him the trouble of going to Nine Dragon Island.

"Enough nonsense! Your Sect of Explanation killed our Jiejiao fellow disciple, Lady Shi Ji, and has repeatedly come to our East Sea to cause trouble! Today, you will never return!" Wang Mo roared.

The four of them were also bewildered.

They were originally recuperating on the island when they suddenly received a message from their friend Zhao Gongming, who said he had a sudden premonition that the Sect of Explanation might send True Lord Taiyi for revenge, and that he would pass through this area. He instructed them to set up an ambush here to catch him off guard.

Although they found it a bit strange, they came as instructed out of trust in Zhao Gongming.

They never expected that they would actually wait for True Lord Taiyi.

"Kill!"

Enemies meeting each other, their eyes burned with hatred. Without any further words, they immediately began to fight.

"Behold my magical artifact!"

Wang Mo and the other three once again unleashed their Sky-Opening Pearl, Earth-Splitting Pearl, and two other treasures, attacking True Lord Taiyi from four directions.

"A mere trifle!"

True Lord Taiyi sneered. He had already learned of their methods from Randeng.

He opened his mouth and spat out a red cover. It grew rapidly in the wind, transforming into a giant fiery shield that protected his entire body.

Nine fire dragons coiled and danced on the shield, lifelike and exuding a terrifying heat that could burn the sky and boil the sea.

It was the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, a precious treasure personally bestowed by Venerable Yuanshi!

"Clang clang clang!"

The four treasures struck the Divine Fire Cover and were instantly heated to a red glow by the terrifying temperature, emitting a series of crisp sounds before being swallowed one by one by the nine fire dragons.

"What?!"

Wang Mo and the other three were greatly alarmed and quickly tried to recall their magical artifacts.

But after swallowing the treasures, the nine fire dragons roared and flew out from the Divine Fire Cover, charging towards the four of them.

Wherever the fire dragons passed, the seawater instantly evaporated, creating a vast vacuum.

The four were terrified out of their wits.

The power of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover was far more terrifying than they had imagined!

They dodged frantically, looking utterly disheveled.

"Hahaha!" True Lord Taiyi laughed triumphantly upon seeing this, "A bunch of ants! Today, I'll let you taste the sensation of your Nascent Souls being burned by divine fire!"

He urged his magic power, and the might of the nine fire dragons intensified, forcing Wang Mo and the other three into a desperate situation with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. They were on the verge of being caught by the fire dragons and reduced to ashes.

Despair appeared on the faces of the four.

Could it be that they were truly going to die here today?

At this critical juncture.

Shen Zhaochi, who had been observing the battle in the Investiture of the Gods Space, finally made his move.

"The time has come."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Explode!"

With a thought from him.

The underwater volcano, silent for ten thousand years, began to tremble violently without warning.

Immediately after, an energy fluctuation a hundred times stronger than before erupted from the base of the volcano!

RUMBLE!!!

A world-shattering roar.

The entire underwater volcano exploded from its base!

A black liquid, exuding extreme cold and heaviness, surged out of the fractured crater like a bursting dam!

Primordial Heavy Water!

This Primordial Heavy Water, accumulated for countless years, finally saw the light of day under Shen Zhaochi's detonation!

The nine fire dragons chasing Wang Mo and the other three sensed this extreme cold. Like mice seeing a cat, they let out a mournful cry and turned to flee back into the Divine Fire Cover.

But it was too late!

The black heavy water swept in with unimaginable speed, instantly engulfing the nine fire dragons, their master True Lord Taiyi, and the surrounding sea for thousands of miles!

"Sizzle—"

A piercing sound, like a red-hot iron thrown into ice water.

The moment the nine arrogant fire dragons came into contact with the Primordial Heavy Water, the flames on their bodies rapidly extinguished at a visible rate.

In the blink of an eye, the nine majestic fire dragons turned into nine pitch-black loaches, losing all their spiritual essence and falling from the sky.

"No! My Divine Fire Cover!"

True Lord Taiyi let out a piercing scream.

He felt the connection between himself and the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover being forcibly severed by an irresistible, chilling force!

His life-bound magical treasure was crippled!

But this was not the most terrifying part.

The most terrifying thing was that the boundless Primordial Heavy Water had already surrounded him.

Every drop of water weighed as much as ten thousand jun.

With billions of drops gathered together, how terrifying was the pressure?

True Lord Taiyi felt as if he was being squeezed from all directions by billions of ancient divine mountains.

The moment his protective immortal light touched the heavy water, it shattered like an eggshell with a "crack."

Next was his immortal body.

"Crack... crack..."

A bone-chilling sound of bones breaking echoed.

True Lord Taiyi's body was squeezed and deformed by the terrifying pressure, his bones shattering inch by inch, and blood spurted from his seven orifices.

"Ahhhh!"

He let out a non-human wail.

He wanted to escape, but within the domain of the heavy water, his body was slower than if he were stuck in a quagmire, completely unable to move.

On the other side, Wang Mo and the other three were further away and were only brushed by the edge of the heavy water. Although their Blood Essence surged from the pressure, they were not in mortal danger.

They looked at True Lord Taiyi, who was being squeezed into a non-human shape in the center of the heavy water, with expressions of shock and bewilderment.

What... what was going on?

Why did the volcano erupt so suddenly?

And spew out such terrifying black divine water?

Although they didn't know the reason, they knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Strike him while he's down!"

Wang Mo roared, reacting first.

He endured the discomfort in his body and poured all his remaining magic power into the Sky-Opening Pearl, which had been dimmed by the divine fire, and hurled it fiercely at True Lord Taiyi.

"Kill!"

Yang Sen, Gao Yougan, and Li Xingba attacked simultaneously.

Four magical treasures, carrying their last hope and endless hatred, pierced through the heavy water curtain and blasted towards the figure that could no longer resist.
