The fall of the Heavenly Saint Taoist caused everyone to jubilate, except for Shangguan Bo Wen and Wen Er, whose gazes were deeply contemplating. Would a Sanctuary Powerhouse really fall so easily to a half-step Sanctuary being?
It seemed mysterious. What puzzled them more was that even if the Heavenly Saint Taoist had truly fallen, after being pierced through, his entire body disappeared without a trace. That’s not normal unless he self-detonated; otherwise, there should be remains.
Ba Ke Yun was clever and quickly understood, “Perhaps, the Heavenly Saint Taoist we saw was not the real one, but a consciousness projection or an imposter. After being severely wounded, he naturally dissipated. Otherwise, it’s inexplicable that he would be defeated by a Demon Beast’s wrath.”
“Also, the ground has been shaking nonstop, something must have happened to the underground magma, it might be Logan seeking help.” Shangguan Bo Wen’s gaze was deep, also sensing something wrong. The Heavenly Saint Taoist’s carefully laid plans, if so easily defeated by few people, then the other side’s past hundred years worth of arrangement would be a joke.
The half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast was still in a triumphant mood and confidently shook his head, “Impossible, maybe my attack was too strong, it wiped out his spirit, completely dissipated in the heavens and earth. After all, you few don’t understand the power of the beast bloodline, it is the gift from thousands of years of inheritance.”
“It’s better to be safe than sorry. We should quickly go check the underground magma, isn’t it safe anyway? Moreover, an hour is almost up, and the Beast King is about to recuperate. You should be ready in the first place.”
Shangguan Bo Wen glanced at the half-step Saint’s Seat with annoyance. The other party was too pleased with himself, but he could only deceive himself. He knew the remains of a Sanctuary Powerhouse would never rot for ten thousand years, even under the ravages of the River of Time and the Laws, they could still exist for a hundred thousand years.
But how could the other party’s spirit and body be completely wiped out with one hit? However, he also understood that arguing with Shangguan Bo Wen at this point would be pointless, as it would imply questioning the latter’s capabilities, which might cause conflict with the half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast. Therefore, he did not dwell on this point and directly mentioned the awakening of the Beast King.
As expected, the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast immediately became serious and nodded, “Correct, the Beast King’s recovery is indeed the top priority. If he wakes up and doesn’t see us, he will think that we do not care, and we must hurry back to the magma and wait. If you hadn’t reminded me, we would have made a big mistake.”
Before leaving, Shangguan Bo Wen did not forget to instruct the hundreds of thousands of demon beasts to not leave and to wait here. This way, it is possible to prevent enemies from taking advantage of the situation, after all, there are numerous people like the Heavenly Saint Taoist, perhaps they are watching in secret.
On the other hand, when the Beast King wakes up, they can immediately summon millions of demon beasts. This is an auspicious event for the entire Mountain Range that cannot be neglected and the millions of demon beasts, as subjects, if they do not wait it would be disrespectful, and the Beast King might blame them for it.
In a place ten miles away, the three thousand experts were watching the battle. When they saw the Heavenly Saint Taoist getting pierced every single one of them was stunned, they thought they had seen wrong. It took a long time for them to regain their senses and accept this reality. Now everyone looked uglier than if they were crying, because a Sanctuary Powerhouse was gone.
The first thing was disbelief. After all, a Sanctuary Powerhouse stands above all cultivators, they are undeniably the strongest in this world. However, it was defeated by a half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast, and in the end, even the bones were not left behind. This was lamentable and none of the three thousand people could accept it.
Once the Heavenly Saint Taoist was gone, it meant that no one could lift the Mountain Range’s barrier. Maybe it would remain for a decade or so, unless another great ability arrives, or else, the three thousand of them will be trapped here forever. But that wasn’t the worst of it, the most terrifying thing was that they only had a transcendent tier strength, making it difficult for them to move in this Mountain Range. If they weren’t careful, they might be devoured by demon beasts.
Some were utterly despondent and shook their heads, “It’s done, our group can’t escape death after all. I don’t think there’s any sense in trying anymore, it’s better to just go with the flow. Whether we can survive or not relies solely on fate. After all, even the Heavenly Saint Taoist is gone, what use are we three thousand people?”
“Sigh, the millions of demon beasts might have used some kind of secret technique, gathering everyone’s strength, increasing the power of that half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast, while the Heavenly Saint Taoist was already nearing his end.”
The others agreed and felt despair. No matter how they plotted, they found that the three thousand of them were too weak. Even if they could gather everyone’s strength, they couldn’t handle a dominator, let alone a half-step Sanctuary Powerhouse. They feared that one sentence could put an end to everyone’s hopes.
A sense of despair was spreading. Everyone was like dead wood, losing their fighting spirit at that moment. Even before, when they faced the attacks of millions of demon beasts, everyone still held onto a glimmer of hope. But this was far more shocking than before, the Sanctuary Powerhouses who were their unattainable goals were gone.
But they didn’t know that at this time, the Heavenly Saint Taoist was fine, but was actually continually attacking Logan under the underground magma. Logan had taken ten moves in a row, his body was at its limit like a spent force, he was fighting relying solely on his battle experience, he had no time to think or counterattack.
But at the next moment, the Heavenly Saint Taoist suddenly stopped for a split second, his power instantly grew sevenfold. He immediately realized that the consciousness he had left above had been eliminated, and the scattered power had returned. Dealing with Logan like this would be easier.
However, there was not a trace of joy on his face. Instead, his brows furrowed, he was running out of time. The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast and others must have noticed and were on their way. He had previously laid some Divine Skill to delay them for a certain period.
But this would only delay them at best, within a minute, Shangguan Bo Wen and the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast would arrive. The time was extremely urgent. Shangguan Bo Wen could only launch two strong attacks at most; one would be used on Logan, and the other would be used to take down the sleeping Beast King.
The last attack must wipe out Logan. Otherwise, his entire plan would fall short. At this point, he had recovered to the half-step Sanctuary stage, seeing Logan as he would an ant, terrifying Laws Force spread around him, the Sanctuary’s Power on his body responded to each other.
But Logan just smiled and did not step back a bit, “Are you in a rush? I thought so too. I can feel that Shangguan Bo Wen and others are coming back, and you only have one choice, run. Perhaps, you can still save your life, otherwise, you will face a siege situation on all sides, I believe that by then, you’ll have nowhere to escape.”
“No need for you to worry. Because you’re going straight to hell, after that, I’ll naturally have a plan. And you think these ants can turn the tide? If they couldn’t fight a single consciousness of mine above, how can they deal with my real body?”
Shangguan Bo Wen’s gaze was bright, he was not scared by Logan. With a wave of his hand, the condensing attack was launched like a thunderbolt. At that moment it tore through space, with a single hit of thunder, it directly distorted everything around it.
