Chapter 549 - 248: The World Trembles, the Dragon Enters the East Sea

"Junior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

"Nephew!"

Several different titles were exclaimed simultaneously.

The previously seated individuals acted swiftly, stuffing their mouths with healing elixirs, and incessantly casting recovery spells.

Even two healing talismans were stuck onto his body.

The weakest present was at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation, and with a glance, they could discern that Mo Lu True Venerable was already invaded by Thunderbolt and Spiritual Fire, along with some unknown special force destroying his body’s vitality.

If powerful treasure medicine isn’t quickly administered to sustain life, his cultivation will regress at the least, or he will perish and his Dao will vanish.

At this moment, the injuries on Mo Lu True Venerable could only be described as horrifying.

Under the scorching heat, the flesh on his body showed signs of melting, barely sticking like half-melted wax, and the joints exposed the ghastly bones beneath.

His hair had been entirely burnt away, and his skin, ravaged by the roving Thunderbolt Power, looked like charcoal.

Mo Lu True Venerable did not regret this.

At least, he survived.

Technically, the power confrontation between Celestial Fire Thunder Burst and Unity of Man and Sword shouldn’t be this devastating.

However, Mo Lu True Venerable activated the Immortal Ancient Relic to perform a space exchange, essentially slicing off the original space and swapping it with the space anchored by the altar.

During the exchange, the residual power of Celestial Fire Thunder Burst was compressed and erupted in the swapped space, like a giant high-pressure cooker, leaving Mo Lu True Venerable in a miserable state, almost killing himself.

Perhaps if he had used the remaining talismans for self-preservation and chosen another method of retreat, he wouldn’t be in such a sorry plight.

Mo Lu True Venerable thought this.

After all, he wasn’t the primary target of the Thunder Sea’s assault.

Who could guarantee that other methods would ensure survival?

Mo Lu True Venerable, whose body had no intact flesh left, breathed weakly, smeared all over with a special ointment.

Outside, this special healing ointment is sold for a hefty price.

Now it covered his body entirely.

The four essentials for cultivation: Wealth, Companions, Techniques, and Land.

"Wealth" and "Companions" rank at the top for a reason.

If Mo Lu True Venerable were merely a modestly wealthy loose cultivator, he would have perished already, vanishing alongside Destiny True Venerable and Flashing Light Sword Venerable in the Thunder Sea.

Though his vitality was weak, undoubtedly, the sect’s treasure medicine spared his life, freeing him from mortal danger.

The intense repair power continuously tore and regenerated his entire body, expelling the charred dead flesh and growing new healthy flesh.

Mo Lu True Venerable’s eyes, stripped of eyelids, were exposed directly, appearing menacing and bloodshot.

He stared intensely at the elder feeding him medicine, shouting hoarsely with nearly destroyed vocal cords:

"Elder, we’ve been deceived, utterly played!"

"Senior Brother made the wrong judgement, we were completely kept in the dark!"

"That couldn’t possibly be Early Stage of Divinity Transformation, absolutely couldn’t be Early Stage! It must be beyond Blood River Demon Venerable’s monstrosity, Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, or even Late-stage... Great Demon Venerable!"

"Yes, He must be Late-stage Great Demon Venerable! Certainly!"

"Moreover, he obtained the inheritance of the Celestial Fire Demon God, a single hand of Five-Colored Spirit Fire could burn through our Array Sect’s Little Five Elements Inversion Array!"

"This must be a secret weapon secretly cultivated by the Demonic Dao, a declaration of war against us!"

"Destiny True Venerable was backlashed into a fool by his own Sword of Destiny Curse, Flashing Light Sword Venerable’s Transformation Strike released by Unity of Man and Sword was effortlessly shattered by the opponent! I witnessed it! I saw it all!"

"Had I not activated the Immortal Ancient Relic immediately, I’d be dead already!"

"Fellow brothers, elders, the world is in peril!"

Several Divinity Transformation True Venerables exchanged glances, each discerning a hint of horror in one another’s eyes.

The heavily injured and embarrassingly escaped Mo Lu True Venerable brought back extremely valuable firsthand information, describing some combat traits of Lu Wenwu.

Representatives from the sects of the Immortal Dao Alliance were summoned again within a short time, convening a small meeting once more.

This time, the usually aloof Celestial Secret Tower unexpectedly sent someone, and it was the Tower Master himself who came.

The fall of Destiny True Venerable was a severe blow to Celestial Secret Tower, akin to injuring their core.

The number of cultivators practicing the Path of Destiny is already scarce.

In the realm of Divinity Transformation Venerable, apart from Destiny True Venerable, only the elderly Celestial Secret Tower Master remained, a rare late-stage ancient relic.

The demise of Flashing Light Sword Venerable was likewise a heavy blow to Infinite Sword Sect.

Sword cultivators walking extreme paths possess unrivaled combat power in 1v1 duels among their peers, undoubtedly possessing solo strength greater than peer-level demonic cultivators.

Otherwise, back when Cyan Profound Sword Sect was at its peak, they couldn’t have dominated the Cultivation Realm.

Although the Cultivation Realm wasn’t as prosperous back then as it is now, Divinity Transformation cultivators were abundant.

Without absolutely strong power, how could they have subdued the world of cultivators?

Moreover, sword cultivators are individually perfectionists, each obsessed and stubborn, unwilling to provoke such a group of madmen.

For such reasons, sword cultivators face the same dilemmas as demon cultivators concerning realm breakthroughs.

Either the Heart Demon is instantly slain or it instantly slays you, it’s extreme within extremes.

With the fall of Flashing Light Sword Venerable, Infinite Sword Sect is left with only two Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivators.
