Everyone present knew without even thinking where Elder Yin Ya had gotten the sacred herb in his hand.
"Heh heh..."
"Brat, if you want to fight my dear disciple, wait a moment!"
"My dear disciple, munch on this grass!"
"Restore your lifespan first!"
Yin Ya tossed the Life-Giving Grass in his hand to Chu Luo.
Looking at the Life-Giving Grass in his hand, brimming with astonishing medicinal potency and vast vitality, Chu Luo swallowed.
"Master... do you think my remaining two and a half years are too long?"
"This is a sacred herb! If I eat it, won't I drop dead on the spot?"
At his words, both Han Wujie and Flame Lord Ancient Sage below the platform wore strange expressions.
Flame Lord Ancient Sage, in particular, only noticed it then.
Chu Luo was clearly still young, yet he had only two and a half years left to live!
"It's fine. I'll draw out the medicinal potency and leave only the vitality to replenish your lifespan!"
Yin Ya walked behind Chu Luo and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Chu Luo nodded and secretly put away the Lifespan Pill.
If he had known his master would bring a sacred herb that replenished lifespan...
He would never have bought the Lifespan Pill.
"Han Wujie, was it?"
"Wait a moment. Let me pop some medicine and replenish my lifespan first!"
"Otherwise, I might croak halfway through our fight, and you'd get blamed for nothing!"
Chu Luo chuckled and began munching directly on the sacred herb in his hand.
Every core disciple below the platform smacked their lips.
That was a sacred herb!
Yet this menace was simply munching on it!
What a reckless waste of heaven's treasures!
Boom...
The instant Chu Luo swallowed the Life-Giving Grass...
A vast surge of medicinal potency flooded his entire body.
Chu Luo felt as though that potency would burst him apart the very next moment!
Hum...
Just then, Yin Ya raised his eyes slightly behind him.
A terrifying suction emerged from the palm resting on Chu Luo's shoulder.
Yin Ya drew out all the swelling medicinal potency inside Chu Luo.
Chu Luo felt his whole body relax.
His lifespan, which had dwindled to just two and a half years, was instantly replenished to its full extent.
Chu Luo checked in secret.
He discovered that his lifespan had now returned to a thousand years!
"My dear disciple, don't disgrace your master!"
"No need to hold back!"
"Don't be afraid even if you beat this brat to death. Your master is here!"
Yin Ya patted Chu Luo, turned, and took a single step, instantly reappearing beside Lin Feng.
"You got it, Master! That's exactly what I was waiting to hear!"
Chu Luo grinned and offered Han Wujie a friendly warning:
"Fellow Daoist, watch out. I'm about to attack!"
"Hmph!"
"Enough nonsense. Make your move!"
Han Wujie stood rooted in place, utterly unmoved. He did not take Chu Luo, a mere Beginningless Realm cultivator, seriously at all!
Boom...
Chu Luo's body shuddered, and dense spiritual energy poured out of him.
Sensing the spiritual energy emanating from Chu Luo, Flame Lord Ancient Sage and the Forbidden Sect elders below the platform froze, astonished.
Such dense spiritual energy!
"Heh..."
"Take this!"
Chu Luo sneered and rapidly formed seals with both hands.
The next moment, the disciples' pupils contracted, their eyes widening without exception.
Before everyone's eyes...
A vast, boundless starry sky manifested behind Chu Luo.
Within that celestial vision, constellations revolved, the stars shifting as all things changed.
In the blink of an eye, a black hole swallowed the glittering stars.
The next moment, a power that made everyone's heart tremble spread from the black hole within the vision.
Then an illusory palm, studded with stars and so immense it blotted out the sky and sun, surged forth from the black hole behind Chu Luo, bearing tremendous might as it descended to crush its target.
"That... that's our Forbidden Sect's Forbidden Secret Arts, the Great Void Maitreya Palm!"
"Heavens, that's a forbidden-grade secret art! The menace actually learned it!"
"Exactly! Even those senior direct disciples on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking have an incredibly hard time mastering a single Forbidden Secret Arts..."
"Oh no, the menace is being foolish! Why did he reveal his trump card right at the start?!"
"If this strike doesn't defeat Han Wujie, the menace is bound to lose!"
Watching the enormous star-studded palm hurtle down, every disciple present looked shocked.
None of them had imagined that Chu Luo actually knew the Great Void Maitreya Palm!
Boom! Boom...
Beneath the enormous star-studded palm, the entire arena shook violently.
"How is this possible?!"
Han Wujie's face was filled with horror.
He had never expected the brat before him to unleash a secret art of such power!
With the enormous star-studded palm descending at tremendous speed to crush him...
A Blazing Flame Spear appeared in Han Wujie's hand.
Immediately afterward, towering flames erupted from his body into the sky.
The vast blaze shot toward the heavens, scorching the void.
Boom...
Under everyone's gaze, the enormous star-studded palm slammed down.
It covered the entire arena!
A terrifying explosion erupted.
Rampaging power swept outward like ripples across water.
"Seal!"
Hum...
Two senior elders of the Forbidden Sect intervened in time.
The two elders stepped forward and pointed their fingers.
A powerful barrier of spiritual energy sealed off the entire arena.
Only then were the disciples around the arena spared disaster...
At the sight, Flame Lord Ancient Sage's expression darkened.
He, too, had underestimated Chu Luo.
At the same time, he grew especially wary of the Forbidden Sect's secret arts.
Even a mere Beginningless Realm cultivator could unleash such power with one...
Meanwhile, Lin Feng and several Forbidden Sect elders watched the arena, their expressions varied.
Yet a smile curved every one of their lips.
"To think this little fellow actually learned the Great Void Maitreya Palm!"
"Hahaha... although this brat has no special physique, his talent seems quite good. No wonder the Third Elder took him as a disciple!"
"No wonder this brat had only two and a half years left to live earlier. It must have been because he cultivated the Great Void Maitreya Palm..."
Lin Feng and the elders smiled warmly.
At that moment, the Forbidden Sect's senior members gradually began to see Chu Luo in a new light.
"Heh heh..."
"Sect Master, just sit back and watch!"
"My dear disciple has an even bigger surprise in store!"
Yin Ya grinned mysteriously.
His dear disciple had not mastered only the Great Void Maitreya Palm!
He had mastered a thousand Forbidden Secret Arts!
"Oh?"
At his words, Lin Feng and the elders all paused, then turned expectant gazes toward the battlefield as the smoke dissipated.
What other surprises would this little fellow bring them?
Hum...
Amid the gradually dispersing smoke, a mass of crimson flames soared into the sky.
The surrounding temperature climbed sharply.
The arena in the square had vanished.
At the center of the rubble-strewn ground...
Han Wujie stood enveloped in flames, his eyes filled with boundless fury.
"Han Wujie's injured!"
"The menace is incredible!"
"Pah! What menace? That's our Senior Brother Chu!"
"Ah, right, right! Me and my big mouth!"
"Senior Brother Chu is badass!"
"Senior Brother Chu, bring glory to our Forbidden Sect!"
