Chapter 356: Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader, Slaying A Sage In Just One Move
Nine Golden Crows came out of the Dao Imparting Tablet and morphed into a large fireball, which shot straight toward the Fire Sage.
They were created by the runes on the Dao Imparting Tablet but possessed a power that was even more terrifying than a divine beast. Every single crow exuded an aura that was on par with a Sage.
As the runes on the stone tablet glowed brighter, the aura of those Golden Crows also grew increasingly intense.
Even though the Fire Sage was very powerful and just half a step away from becoming a True Sage, a look of pure horror crossed his face just then.
This was because he could already feel a lethal sense of threat from those Golden Crows. If he didn’t handle this correctly, he could really end up dying in Immortal Abode Island.
“Get lost!”
The Fire Sage quickly formed a fiery protective barrier blocking those Golden Crows, hoping to delay them a bit.
Meanwhile, he morphed into a fiery light and fled in the opposite direction.
It was embarrassing, but his life was more important!
Unfortunately, the tablet seemed to have locked onto him the moment he attacked it.
The fiery barrier was no challenge to those Golden Crows at all. They passed through it in a flash, absorbing and refining its power, such the crows seemed to grow even stronger after.
Nine Golden Crows sped toward the Fire Sage, cutting off his route of escape.
A scorching blaze engulfed him.
The Fire Sage was a powerful practitioner, and his abilities belonged to the fire element. He should have been able to defend against fire, but the intensity was just too great.
This was the Golden Crow Flames, derived from the True Sun Fire. Although not as highly ranked as the other extraordinary items, its power was not far below that of the True Sun Fire.
Under the ancient tablet’s control, the intense Golden Crow Flames were enough to melt this Fire Sage!
The Sage’s terrible shrieks rang out of the blaze, strident and crazed.
“Damn, how can this mere Dao Imparting Tablet be so powerful?”
A vehement look flashed across the Fire Sage’s face. He suddenly turned toward Shen Tian and the rest, who had already retreated hundreds of miles away. “Don’t think I will let you guys just stand there and relax while I suffer!”
It’s all your fault for discovering this tablet, causing me to be burned by this terrible fire.
If I have to die, we must all die together!
…
At that, the Fire Sage, who was now just one giant ball of divine flames, charged toward Shen Tian!
“How did this scoundrel become a Sage?”
Princess Linglong looked very grim. The Fire Sage was a grand elder from Middle Ground’s Nine Sun Sacred Ground. In some ways, he belonged to the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.
But the Fire Sage had no family ties and was an exceptionally vicious character. He had always been a wilful person and did not care about others at all.
Even so, Princess Linglong never expected this fellow to want to drag the Divine Firmament Saint and others down with him in his predicament.
If he succeeded, the Nine Sun Sacred Ground would never be able to bear the consequences. All the other powers would definitely come seeking revenge.
This fellow was truly insanely selfish and had no regard for anyone else.
Shen Tian stared at the Fire Sage with eyes that crackled like electricity.
“You guys retreat. I will block him.”
Shen Tian’s aura erupted, pushing everyone else out of the way.
This energy was powerful to the extreme. Even the Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage Zhang Yunxi and Nascent Soul Princess Linglong were unable to resist.
In that instant, Shen Tian was the only one left standing before the Fire Sage!
Shen Tian showed no signs of fear as he watched the fast-approaching Fire Sage. He just gazed calmly at the blazing ball of fire closing in as if it was just a cloud, completely of no threat to him.
“I heard that you are a rare prodigy of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, only encountered once in 10,000 years. To be able to drag a person of your caliber down to hell with me, my death will be worth it.”
The Fire Sage smiled malevolently. He was born in a sacred ground, but his innate character was vicious and evil.
Although he had managed to overcome all sorts of dangers and scrapped his way past two lightning tribulations, he had already reached his maximum potential.
As a result, the Fire Sage hated those prodigies with limitless potential and favored by the heavens, as well as those Sons of Providence.
Coincidentally, Shen Tian belonged to both groups.
Even if I have to die, I must drag him down with me!
…
The Fire Sage came increasingly closer to Shen Tian.
Shen Tian could already feel the fire scorching his skin and hair. The power of those flames was as potent as his Nan Ming Li Fire.
It was formed by the Golden Crows from that ancient tablet. It was not an extraordinary item’s fire, which meant it would not be depleted with every use. Just the source of this type of fire was already invaluable!
“You want to harm my disciple? Have you asked my permission?”
An impassive voice rang through the air as a mighty figure appeared. He was covered in lightning and heavenly aura and was gazing calmly at the Fire Sage. His aura vibrated intensely.
So intensely that it looked like it was surging with anger!
“Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan. Don’t think I am afraid of you just because you have become a Sage! When I became a Sage, you weren’t even born yet!”
The Golden Crow Flames were melting the Fire Sage’s physical body. It was a very painful process. He hollered in rage and morphed into a massive black-red blade, which swept across the air and seemed to split the sky and earth in half.
Fire-red cracks spread across the fabrics of space, looking rather beautiful.
The Fire Sage had unleashed his maximum energy with this move and expended everything he had in him. This was likely to be a suicidal move.
“Before entering the island, the various powers agreed that the fortuitous opportunity would belong to whoever discovered it. Not only are you being so unreasonable, but you are even trying to harm my disciple.”
Zhang Longyuan’s heavenly aura vibrated more and more intensely. “In that case, let me end your misery and also have you understand that cultivation is not just about who lives longer.”
With that, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader shot out a longsword.
A massive lightning-based avatar appeared behind him. It comprised 10 divine beasts, and golden lightning spanned across half the skies.
“Die!”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked impassively at the Fire Sage. An endless stream of Mixed Divine Lightning shot toward his sword, making it dazzle with unprecedented brilliance.
Clang!
Golden light flashed across the void, spreading for tens of thousands of miles.
The massive black-red blade dimmed and was split in half by that sword light.
Swoosh!
Lightning flashed, and thunder boomed.
A blood-red line appeared between the brows of the Fire Sage and snaked its way down his nose, mouth, throat, and stomach.
After he was hacked in half, his body fell down from the sky. Reddish-gold blood splattered across the air.
“From now on, anyone who bullies my disciple will be killed!”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader slew a Sage in just one move!
In support of his disciple!
