The massive tremor, carrying with it an overwhelming Killing Intent, caused the nearby academy disciples to scream and retreat!
Du Yuan, who had just escaped from the boat, was unable to get up.
His life force was constantly draining away, and seeing this, he felt a chill run down his spine. His opponent was far more powerful than the Path Opening Realm!
Perfected Mingzhang couldn't help but softly praise:
"That's really impressive..."
"However, despite having the cultivation level of the Path Opening Realm, his physical body has actually reached the level of the Fortune-Mastery Realm."
"The title 'Yama in Azure Robes' is indeed well-deserved."
As they were talking.
He raised his finger and flashed it across the void like lightning, revealing a golden ancient character!
[End]!
In an instant, the Spiritual Energy within a radius of thousands of miles froze, and the surging clouds all stopped in place!
Large, golden characters pressed down from the sky.
Countless intricate characters appeared one after another, climbing up his limbs and bones, finally forcibly stopping the unstoppable golden light!
"Palace Heir Ye, let's stop for a while."
Perfected Mingzhang had barely finished speaking with a slight smile when...
Boom!!!
Ye Li's blood energy suddenly erupted!
The words that had just been written were instantly shattered into pieces!
The golden ancient characters also crumbled amidst the violent tremors!
Really?!
Perfected Mingzhang's gaze sharpened with surprise.
When he looked up again, Ye Li's fist was right in front of him!
He immediately stood up seriously, gathering his immortal Immortal Essence in his arms to block the punch!
Pages of golden scripture emerged from between his skin and flesh, enveloping his arms.
As the fist struck, the scriptures shattered one after another, only to be quickly replaced by new characters, which managed to withstand most of the force!
Boom!!!
Amidst the deafening roar, Perfected Mingzhang was thrown back tens of thousands of feet, the Sea of Clouds along his path being shattered!
He moved his arms slightly, feeling the numbing sensation, and exclaimed in admiration again:
"Sharp!
"No wonder the likes of Hidden Edge Wu Guang all died at your hands."
"However, fellow Daoist, you are still somewhat lacking in skill to kill me."
As his superior Immortal Essence circulated, the minor injuries on his arms quickly healed.
Although he suffered some losses just now, it gave him a sense of confidence.
This person's physical body is truly astonishing.
But if it really comes down to life and death, this level of fists alone won't be enough!
Perfected Mingzhang looked at Ye Li and continued to smile:
"In some ways, you are even more powerful than my True Lord was back then."
"Within just over About a Month of emerging, he offended one True Lord Dao Lineage after another."
"Now even our allies in the Green Luo Continent are being killed so decisively."
"I'm really curious about how far you'll go in the future, fellow Daoist."
Ye Li neither confirmed nor denied this, but instead asked:
"I also have something I'm curious about."
"Is your [Dao-Nurturing Pool] really so powerful that it can involve so many True Person?"
"Um?"
Perfected Mingzhang was taken aback at first.
Immediately, the smile on his face grew even wider.
It seems that although this Supreme Clarity Palace Son has a domineering personality, he is now somewhat aware of the seriousness of the problem.
That's natural.
"Looking at all the different Dao Lineage, who doesn't have a few respected juniors?"
"My [Dao-Nurturing Pool] has extremely few side effects, yet it can still elevate a prodigy's aptitude to a higher level! Isn't that amazing?"
He frankly admitted:
"Leaving aside other factions, within the Green Luo Continent Alliance Association alone, the number of True Person who tacitly approve of my actions this time is no less than five!"
Upon hearing this...
Many of the disciples below grew increasingly pale.
They had hoped the Alliance Association would uphold justice, but it turns out even the True Person within the Alliance know about this?!
Perfected Mingzhang had no interest in paying them any attention.
He glanced at Ye Li a few times, then smiled and said:
"After all, not everyone has the talent of a fellow Daoist."
"But everyone hopes that their family can produce a successor like you."
Ye Li nodded and said, "That's true."
Perfected Mingzhang smiled slightly:
"Therefore, fellow Daoist, there is no need to push things to the extreme."
Even if you enter the Dao-Nurturing Pool, you might still be able to advance further.
Don't be so quick to disbelieve.
His tone became lighter when he talked about it:
"You've probably heard stories of cultivators with slightly less natural talent who, through sheer passion and determination, eventually surpassed those exceptional geniuses, right?"
"The Dao-Nurturing Pool follows a similar principle."
"Before each disciple who is destined to die goes in, I will leave a video of myself telling them about their future cultivation."
Some people want to extend their parents' lives, some want to restore their family's glory, and some just want to avenge their relatives.
I'll give them whatever they want.
"As long as they endure the pain in the pool, the academy will take care of everything for them."
That brings us to this.
Perfected Mingzhang actually laughed:
Guess how good the effect was?
"Some of the poor cultivators, whom I originally expected to only last half an hour, were actually able to endure it for ten hours after hearing what I said!"
"..."
A cultivator from the academy below swayed and nearly fell to the ground.
Those words still echo in my ears.
Before he entered the pool, his junior brother had specifically mentioned to him that the True Person had promised to take them back to their hometown after he came out of seclusion!
He was happy for his junior at the time.
Only now do I realize that those promises were just meant to make the other person endure it a little longer?!
Many of the surrounding disciples also turned pale.
Some of their relatives and friends died in the process, while others had just received their spots and hadn't even had their turn to go in yet.
Hearing those words from high above now sends chills down my spine!
But Perfected Mingzhang had long since stopped caring about them.
Things have escalated to this point; the academy simply cannot continue operating in the future.
The most important thing right now is to let Ye Li know just how valuable the Dao-Nurturing Pool really is!
As long as I can persuade this person, I will naturally be safe and sound.
In comparison.
What does the slight loss of reputation today matter?
Thinking of this, Perfected Mingzhang's expression gradually became excited:
"That's not all!"
"Many people persevered for a full fifteen hours, unwilling to give up, and were still gritting their teeth and holding on!"
"Their Dao Foundation are repeatedly stimulated by the secret techniques in the pool until their physical bodies can no longer withstand it, at which point they explode and die."
"And before they died, I naturally preserved their Dao Foundation."
"Fellow Daoist, this is the power of belief!"
Upon hearing this...
Ye Li nodded slightly. "I see."
Perfected Mingzhang smiled and said:
"Aren't you surprised? I was with you back then too..."
But the next moment...
His smile suddenly froze on his face!
An incredibly terrifying Killing Intent suddenly spread out from in front of him!
Immediately afterwards, billowing Wu Guang surged forth!
Several figures slowly emerged from behind Ye Li, some with Sword Qi crisscrossing and others with demonic energy soaring into the sky, instantly occupying the entire high sky!
Perfected Mingzhang's gaze swept over several figures, and his expression gradually changed.
Hidden Edge!
Wu Guang!
In addition, there are two strange Demon King who have revealed their true forms!
The Azure Roc Demon King slowly spread its wings, and the resulting Gale Force dispersed all the remaining clouds in the sky!
The Golden Toad Demon King's enormous body pressed down on the other side of the sky, while the Purple-Eyed Heavenly Serpent coiled to the side, coldly looking down at Perfected Mingzhang!
One after another, pressure of the level of Fortune-Mastery descended upon them!
The previously formidable enemy-defeating formation began to tremble violently under the pressure of these auras!
Perfected Mingzhang opened his mouth, but the shock in his heart left him speechless!
Why are the dead Hidden Edge and Wu Guang here?!
Five beings at the level of those Fortune-Mastery destiny—this is their trump card for coming to the Green Luo Continent?!
He felt utterly deceived!
That absolute certainty of escaping just moments ago has completely vanished!
Meeting his horrified gaze.
The young Palace Heir in the Green Robe raised his Golden Eyes, and his icy voice boomed throughout the heavens and earth:
"From this moment forward, the entire Green Luo Continent is under my control!!!"
