"How could it be so terrible..."
The Eternal Palace Master was gripped by fear and had no time to think.
boom.
Even though the Eternal Divine Bell withstood countless forces, it still couldn't stop the terrifying God King Tribulation.
The next moment.
Countless bolts of lightning struck his body, severely injuring the Eternal Palace Master on the spot, clearly overwhelming him.
The failure to break through cultivation level caused hidden injuries that manifested as horrific wounds to the physical body and soul, a truly shocking sight.
Unwilling, yet utterly resigned.
How could he fail!
It fell directly from the sky and landed on the ground.
boom.
Then, endless thunderous bombardment reduced the entire Eternal Divine Palace to almost nothing.
The God King Tribulation then disappeared...
All the disciples and powerful figures were dumbfounded.
Palace Master, we have failed!
That was fast! I didn't even get a good look at it!
The Extreme Dao Divine Weapon was shattered instantly; it's unbelievable how difficult it is to break through cultivation. Even the Palace Master was injured.
but...
Why don't they strike us? What's going on?
Looking around, all I saw were ruins.
Chen Bingling remained expressionless... Fortunately, she had previously withheld a considerable amount of resources.
The Eternal Palace Master crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth.
"Heavens... injustice!" he roared in fury.
How could this be? Could it be that he was too impatient...?
But this calamity, which came so quickly, should have been meant to help him break through his cultivation level...
Now that he's lost the Eternal Divine Bell, his combat power will inevitably be affected. Not to mention he's already severely injured!
Suddenly, he realized that Chen Bingling had appeared in front of him.
"Priest, help me..." He needed to heal and recover as soon as possible, otherwise this injury would have a great impact on him.
How could he possibly submit willingly!
The only consolation is that it proved he could reach that level, even if he failed. In the future, he will certainly not give up on trying to become an Ancient God!
But then I heard—
"Palace Master, you have damaged the Eternal Divine Palace's boundless wealth and severely weakened its foundation. Do you know your crime...?"
Chen Bingling said coldly.
This man failed, that's great! It just feels like this God King Tribulation is ridiculously powerful, almost like it's deliberately preventing the Palace Master from breaking through... Is it just my imagination?
In any case, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But she was, after all, a priestess; at this moment, she should fulfill her duties and exercise her authority!
Judging the crimes of others!
It is said that the Eternal Palace Master froze instantly.
I thought I had misheard.
"Priest... what are you saying!"
Chen Bingling is incredibly audacious!
They've added another crime to his head, the palace master!
The other powerful figures who were watching trembled in fear. "Priest, you have a rebellious streak!"
They wouldn't dare disobey the priests normally, nor could they defeat them. Now, they see the Palace Master not only failing his breakthrough but also being questioned and punished...
That's terrible.
Chen Bingling didn't take it seriously.
"Palace Master, as the Palace Master, you are naturally responsible for the Divine Palace! Such a huge loss has delayed countless affairs and caused numerous consequences!"
"Even the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people! I, a high official, am merely fulfilling my duty. Otherwise, without rules, there can be no order!"
"Please, Your Majesty, accept the judgment and trial! To appease the people!"
His words were righteous and eloquent, his voice resounding far and wide.
He didn't even blush or skip a beat!
In any case, given the Palace Master's current state, how could he possibly be a match for her? Without strength, there's no way to control her!
The unexpected surprise came so suddenly, it felt like even the Heavenly Dao were helping her and Chen Fan.
Fate is truly mysterious...
For the first time, the Eternal Palace Master felt his head buzzing.
Unbelievable! What is this woman up to?!
" Chen Bingling, I merely failed in my breakthrough; how could I possibly control myself!" he roared.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
This woman has always liked him! It's one thing if she doesn't take care of him, but why does she have to punish him, the palace master?!
I'm absolutely spitting blood.
Not to mention that it was when he was already suffering a setback, which only added fuel to the fire and made things worse for him.
"How could a failed breakthrough cause such a huge loss! The Palace Master's previous breakthrough failure didn't result in this much damage!" Chen Bingling was determined.
No one is allowed today!
"We urge the Palace Master to accept the judgment!"
Locking him up would be one thing, but openly killing him was too dangerous. Despite his severe injuries, his level was definitely much higher than hers.
Locking them up can also buy time.
At this moment, several elders rushed over, "Priest... this is insubordination!"
"Priest, in my opinion, there's really no need for this!"
"Palace Master, what wrong have you done? The Eternal Divine Palace can simply be restored."
They were all filled with righteous indignation.
The Eternal Palace Master feels so pathetic, can't you at least give me some face?! This is outrageous!
If he hadn't failed, how could he have let the priests control him?
Chen Bingling's expression turned cold, causing everyone to retreat.
"Could it be that you elders also intend to commit insubordination?"
The crowd's expressions changed slightly. If one thing was to be clear, even the Palace Master couldn't protect them now if the high priest wanted to punish them.
The palace master himself is in dire straits; this is a dead end.
"Please calm your anger, priest..." they all said, indicating they were taking their leave.
Suddenly it dawned on me.
"Please, Palace Master, accept the judgment and trial!"
There was nothing they could do. The losses were too great! In the end, the Palace Master didn't break through; it was all for nothing. Now the High Priests were in charge, but it was all their fault.
The Eternal Palace Master was stunned. This priest's power was simply too great! He even allowed her to find such a reason.
Or perhaps Chen Bingling had ulterior motives...? He didn't want to believe it; after all, she had feelings for him, so how could she...?
But how do you explain all this now? She's changed!
Chen Bingling didn't pay any attention to it.
"Palace Master, come with me to the Eternal Ancestral Land."
In this way, there was a considerable period of time during which no one could stop her.
Heaven is on her side! Similarly, we can find out exactly who the Palace Master sent to the God-Burying Forbidden Zone...
"Wait!" The Eternal Palace Master pondered, but he certainly didn't want to go; he wanted to see the Chief of the God-Defending Clan in person.
Then we'll know whether Chen Bingling truly abused her power or had ulterior motives!
Chen Bingling sensed something.
Naturally, he wouldn't get his way.
"Palace Master, please forgive me..."
It was at this moment that he decided to capture him himself...
A powerful aura rushed towards them, Chen Bingling sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't stop it under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Yu Xiao arrived in the blink of an eye.
He came to give an explanation, and incidentally took all the Lineage disciples with him.
"Greetings, Palace Master, High Priest..."
He had come after noticing the commotion, and since he had an excuse, he decided to investigate. It turned out the Eternal Divine Palace was almost gone, so he didn't need to notify anyone; he simply barged in under the guise of helping someone.
However, judging from the current situation, internal strife? That doesn't seem right!
The Eternal Palace Master's eyes flashed. Yu Xiao had finally arrived. Chen Bingling, you did a good job! But he had failed to break through and was severely injured, his strength greatly reduced... Although he was still not too wary, he had to be cautious.
At the same time, he distanced himself from Chen Bingling a little.
"Clan Chief of the God-Defending Clan, why have you trespassed into my Eternal Divine Palace!" Chen Bingling asked coldly before she could finish.
It seems that Yu Xiao was sent by the Palace Master, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived at this time.
A sense of anxiety began to rise within me. I didn't know what the outcome would be, but Yu Xiao was back... which might not be a good thing.
Yu Xiao said, "I came to offer my assistance because I noticed some changes in the Eternal Divine Palace. Also, I am acting on the orders of the Palace Master, as I have important matters to report..."
