Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1519: Chapter 1555: The World Has Changed

Heart Demon Venerable sneered, "Your Buddhism preaches compassion for a thousand years, but when it’s time to protect all beings, don’t drag your feet."

The giant Buddha’s shadow clasped its hands together, saying, "The Buddha saves all sentient beings, it is an unshirkable duty."

Heart Demon Venerable was unimpressed.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and gazed towards the horizon.

His eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Such a strong oppression?"

He saw a nine-colored rainbow spanning the heavens and earth.

Upon the rainbow, a middle-aged man in a white robe, with an air of righteous grandeur, came carrying a Sword Box on his back.

He swept across to the front of everyone, cupping his hands in salute.

Heart Demon Venerable looked at him in surprise, "You went to the Demon Continent and gained a lot, didn’t you?"

"Not only is your foundation solid, but you seem to have a power that surpasses us old generation Divinity Transformation Venerables."

Even the Bodhisattva, with a smile, looked him over and clasped his hands, "Congratulations, Jiang, on your significant progress in strength."

The newcomer was naturally Jiang Wuya.

He humbly said, "It’s thanks to my sworn brother, Jiang Fan, that I received generous rewards from the Golden Scale Venerate."

Jiang Fan?

Heart Demon Venerable and the Bodhisattva glanced at Jiang Fan, who was in the midst of Alchemy, their expressions somewhat complex.

Whether it was by coincidence or because Jiang Fan possessed some indescribable heavenly mechanism, everyone who got close to him received fortunes.

The entire Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, which was already a miracle in Taicang State.

Jiang Wuya, who had been trapped in the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul for years, unable to awaken, successfully transformed into Divinity on Jiang Fan’s guidance.

Now, after a trip to the Demon Continent where he met Jiang Fan, he again gained opportunities and greatly improved his strength.

On the other hand, Heart Demon Venerable and the Bodhisattva, having no animosity nor friendship with Jiang Fan, remained stagnant.

However.

Heart Demon Venerable quickly regained his composure.

Suddenly, a sharp caw of a crow came from the sky, and the Evil Crow Venerable, clad in a black robe, gloomily stepped through the air.

Heart Demon Venerable couldn’t help but gloat, "Evil Crow, how’s the taste of reflection?"

If he and the Bodhisattva hadn’t gained benefits, then Evil Crow Venerable, an enemy of Jiang Fan, was truly out of luck.

Locked up by the Heavenly Eye Sage for two whole months!

He became the laughingstock of Taicang State.

By comparison, he and the Bodhisattva were much more fortunate.

Evil Crow Venerable’s face turned even gloomier; despite the presence of the Great Wine Sacrifice, he shouted, "Jiang Fan!"

"Get out here!"

The sound shook the entire area, causing the blood and energy of those in the Nascent Soul Realm to churn, their bodies stiffening.

The powerful aura made it hard to breathe.

Heart Demon Venerable frowned and shouted, "What madness is this?"

"With great enemies at hand, what’s the point of harming your own?"

He immediately acted, dispersing Evil Crow Venerable’s voice and aura, protecting everyone.

Evil Crow Venerable said coldly, "Who told that little brat Jiang Fan to hide?"

Before he could finish his sentence.

A cold and indifferent voice came from the sky.

"Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m right here?"

This voice, which made Evil Crow Venerable gnash his teeth, was all too familiar to him.

His gaze followed the voice, while his mouth unleashed a storm of killing intent.

"Jiang Fan!"

Fixing his eyes, he saw.

On the ground, Jiang Fan had lifted a barrier restriction and was sitting cross-legged, slowly tidying up various bottles and jars.

Without lifting his head, he said, "Is this how you reflected on Heavenly Eye Sage’s command?"

"Seems like your self-reflection wasn’t deep enough!"

Evil Crow Venerable laughed angrily, "Good, good, good!"

"Haven’t seen you for two months, and you’ve grown bold enough to speak to me like this?"

"An insignificant ant, lawless as you are!"

"I’ve come to teach you a lesson!"

"If anyone dares to interfere, don’t blame me for being rude!"

He glared menacingly at Heart Demon Venerable, the Bodhisattva, and Jiang Wuya.

Warning them not to intervene.

Curiously, they all appeared calm.

The Bodhisattva continued to smile, saying nothing.

Jiang Wuya stood with hands behind his back, silently observing.

Heart Demon Venerable not only didn’t stop him but showed a gloating expression.

This left Evil Crow Venerable momentarily stunned.

Why?

Was Jiang Fan untouchable?

Would the Great Wine Sacrifice protect Jiang Fan?

Come to think of it, the Great Wine Sacrifice did show a lot of care for Jiang Fan!

His face turned somber as he swept his gaze around, noticing the Great Wine Sacrifice meticulously setting up the battlefield, paying no attention to the activity here.

A vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

He might not kill Jiang Fan, but he must make him pay!!

At that moment, Jiang Fan had finished with the Pills and slowly stood up.

He coldly looked at Evil Crow Venerable, saying, "Respected Venerables, do not stop him."

"Let him come at me head-on!"

He still remembered, back at Washing Moon Lake, how Evil Crow Venerable had almost killed him because he bore traces of the Yin Corpse Skill.

At that time, he had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm.

Under Evil Crow Venerable’s powerful aura, he couldn’t even move a finger.

Like an ant, ready to be crushed.

It was under the protection of True Word Venerable that he survived.

The humiliation, he recalled to this day.

Evil Crow Venerable laughed in anger, "You are indeed audacious!"

"Do you think because of the Sage’s inscription, you’ve become someone important?"

"Let me tell you, when the Heavenly Eye Sage is around, I respect you somewhat."

"When he’s not, I’ll kill you like slaughtering a dog!"

Having said that.

His figure vanished into thin air, using Instantaneous Movement to attack Jiang Fan.

Evil Crow Venerable was confident that against a Nascent Soul Realm like Jiang Fan, flashy attacks were unnecessary.

A unique Instantaneous Movement of the Divinity Transformation Realm was already an irresistible killing move for Jiang Fan!

He merely needed a casual slap to flatten him like a stray dog!

However.

The Wind Origin within Jiang Fan had long been activated.

Evil Crow Venerable’s Instantaneous Movement trajectory was clear to him.

With a casual gesture, Purple Thunder, Tingxue, and Evil Sword immediately flew out to form a Three-color Divine Rainbow.

Then accurately slashed three feet behind him.

Splatter—

Blood flew, and in space, a blood-stained palm flew off.

Immediately afterward, Evil Crow Venerable’s figure fell out.

He raised his arm, gazing at the bleeding severed hand, eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

Only after two breaths did the delayed pain show on his face.

"Hiss ~ ah!!"

Clutching his wrist, he gasped in pain and exclaimed in shock and anger, "You... you’re courting death!"

He could never have imagined that Jiang Fan could capture his trajectory.

Even directly sever his hand!

And it happened right in front of nearly all the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation realm individuals of Taicang State!

Where was his dignity? His face?

His eyes shot out killing intent, roaring, "I will have you dead!!!"

Seeing that he was about to make another move.

The Feng Yuan Sect’s member from the Great Yin Sect was startled.

He couldn’t watch his Venerable get slashed and hurriedly flew up, bravely saying in a low voice:

"Venerable, please hold your hand!"

Evil Crow Venerable was even more furious seeing his own people blocking him, "You bastard!"

"I am wounded, and you turn against me?"

"Do you take him for your Great Yin Sect Master?"

"Get out of my way! Or I’ll kill you too!"

Feng Yuan Sect was shaken, his blood boiling, and spat a mouthful of blood.

Enduring the intense pain, he quickly said:

"Venerable, the one who will die is you!"
