His Soul Was Injured
It can't be washed away.
The green venom seeped into the energy structure of the gas shield and began to corrode it from the inside.
The new ability after the breakthrough on page eight of the Myriad Poisons Divine Farmer's Canon: "Law-Eroding Poison".
It doesn't target the physical body; it specifically corrodes the structure of Principle.
Even the strongest Protective Shield will develop vulnerabilities once it is corroded at the level of Principle.
The Sect Master frowned slightly.
He sensed several pinhole-sized holes appearing in the air shield.
Even a tiny needle eye can be a flaw.
This is what Su Zhan was waiting for.
"Electric drill." He shouted in his Sea of Consciousness.
[Nine Heavens Divine Lightning]: Here it comes!
A thin, purplish-gold lightning rod shot out from Su Zhan's index fingertip and precisely pierced a pinhole in the air shield.
The lightning rod went in.
It exploded inside the gas shield.
"Crack!"
The air shield cracked from the inside.
Su Zhan's right fist slammed down again.
This time, we're going all out.
The Blazing Dragon Venerate added that wisp of high-level white True Fire.
Boom!
The airlock was destroyed.
Shattered fragments of black energy flew in all directions.
However, Su Zhan's fist did not hit the Sect Master's body.
Because the Sect Master is no longer in his original position.
His figure had already moved a moment before the energy shield shattered. His speed was so fast that Su Zhan's senses only caught a fleeting afterimage.
The speed of the Martial Emperor.
"On the left."
Su Zhan's senses allowed him to parry with his right hand, but he was a fraction of a second too late.
A withered finger touched his ribs.
"Snap!"
Three ribs were broken.
Su Zhan's body flew out sideways, crashed through a palace pillar, and rolled twice on the ground before coming to a stop.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He reached up and wiped it off onto his already tattered clothes.
Three of them broke.
They weren't counting; they were assessing the injuries.
Although the Immovable Wisdom King Wall was weakened, it still absorbed a large portion of the impact when he took that blow. Otherwise, his entire chest cavity would have collapsed from that finger strike.
The Ancient Life Tree has already begun repairing the bones within the body. Emerald green energy flows through the fracture, and the bones are healing at a speed hundreds of times faster than those of Ordinary Grade.
Su Zhan stood up.
The Sect Master stood in the center of the hall, his fingers still stained with Su Zhan's blood. He glanced down at his fingertips, then rubbed his fingers together.
"Your defense is truly insane. The physical hardness of a sixth-level Martial King, coupled with that automatically adjusting shield... I only used thirty percent of my strength and broke three of your Root Bone."
"Thirty percent of the strength," Su Zhan repeated the number.
He did some mental calculations.
He could break three of his ribs with just 30% of his strength.
100% effort--
We can't tough it out.
"Boss, let's not fight head-on." In his Sea of Consciousness, Nine Heavens Divine Lightning's voice was lowered. "Martial Emperor is Martial Emperor; the pure power difference is too great. In this situation, our output ceiling is probably around the seventh level of Martial King. Even if he only has half his strength left, he's still at the first level of Martial Emperor."
"It's a whole major realm difference."
Su Zhan spat out the blood from his mouth.
"We're just one level below each other, it's not like we haven't fought before."
"Didn't the last Five-Method Fusion shatter his Clones?"
[Nine Heavens Divine Lightning]: That was Clones! The Clones's original strength was at the Martial King Third Level, and it only reached the fifth level by borrowing the power of the Grotto-Heaven Core. Your opponent back then was equivalent to a fourth and a half level, Five-Method Fusion was just enough to crush him. This one now is Martial Emperor.
[Blazing Dragon Venerate]: Then let me transform into a dragon! If I unleash my full dragon form, plus the White True Fire, I should be able to reach the threshold of Martial Emperor, right?
[Nine Heavens Divine Lightning]: Your Fire Element output as a dragon will be suppressed by 30% by the Devil Qi environment here. You won't reach the Martial Emperor.
The Chat Group was silent for two seconds.
Su Zhan leaned against a collapsed pillar, watching the Sect Master walk unhurriedly towards him in the distance.
The old man barely moved his hand; he just tapped him and waited for him to stand up.
Like teasing ants.
Su Zhan suddenly smiled.
"Have you forgotten something?"
[The Myriad Poisons Divine Farmer's Canon]: What is it?
His spirit is wounded.
The Chat Group fell silent again.
Su Zhan continued, "His physical body is very strong, his Law Power is profound, and his speed is extremely fast. But his soul—it was torn open by the Thunder Emperor Divine Seat last time, and it hasn't healed yet."
