Chapter 705: Chapter 373: A Master Reveals His Divine Might, One Palm Shocks the Domain

Atop the Evergreen Pavilion’s Flying Ship, everyone saw a smear of blood illuminating half the sky ahead, alongside a surging Blood Evil that swept over like a storm.

“Is that, that, the Netherworld Army? Has the Heavenly Grotto fallen?”

Cheng Zhan was incredibly shocked!

Even though the Prefecture City of Qi Yun County had been blood sacrificed and Xuezhi Tu was also in Qi Yun County, the fall of the Heavenly Grotto was only a matter of time.

But yet, the scene unfolding before his eyes still shook him to the core.

With the Heavenly Grotto fallen, Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves invading the Qinghua state, the ensuing disaster would last for a very long time. Even if the chaos from the Heavenly Grotto subsided once more, it would still require a considerable amount of time to clear out the Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves from within the Qinghua state.

Moreover, once a Blood Disciple or Blood Slave had hidden themselves deep enough, by the time they were discovered, they might have already wrought significant calamity and refined much blood.

Especially for the small, remote towns and cities, once hit, they had no means to resist and would inevitably be emptied by a blood sacrifice.

“This is terrible!”

Cheng Zhan’s face turned pale.

He could almost imagine the chaos that the Qinghua state would face and the numerous weak towns and cities that would be slaughtered.

“What is that?”

Suddenly, he spotted two figures desperately fleeing in front of the rolling Blood Evils.

Their aura was chaotic but immensely strong.

Immortal Heavenly Venerables!

Cheng Zhan’s heart sank. Two Immortal Heavenly Venerables joining forces, yet fleeing in such a miserable state. Could it be there’s more than one Xuezhi like Xuezhi Tu?

What’s more terrifying, if it took just one Xuezhi Tu to force two Immortal Heavenly Venerables to escape in such distress, how fearsome then, would Xuezhi Tu’s strength be?

Looking across the Qinghua state, only Emperor Da Yue, Myriad Thunder Sect Master, and Tianwu Clan Master could achieve this, right?

These were the three strongest Immortal Heavenly Venerables in the Qinghua state.

“So this is the Immortal Heavenly Venerable?”

Li Xuan also looked at the embarrassing escape of Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu and was momentarily surprised, finding them somewhat lacking compared to his expectations of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable’s strength.

“Are these two too weak, or did I overestimate the strength of an Immortal Heavenly Venerable before?”

Li Xuan couldn’t help but ponder deeply.

With his current strength, he could crush the two Immortal Heavenly Venerables in front of him without any difficulty.

After all, he had reached the Void-breaking Realm. The Power of Void-breaking made it not difficult at all to suppress Immortal Heavenly Venerables, to break through their unity with Domain Power, and control a faction’s Domain Power.

Furthermore, his Divine Skills, Primordial Spirit, and physical body had all increased by a hundredfold. He should not be viewed as a mere Void-breaking Realm Warrior.

“Xuezhi Tu? Indeed, quite strong. So this is the power of the Blood Path? Using essence blood as nourishment… No, Netherworld Warriors themselves are a bit different, probably related to the environment of the Netherworld.

“Blood Refining to improve strength may seem rapid and powerful, but the downsides are quite apparent. The higher the realm, the easier it is to lose control and suffer backlash.

“To resolve this problem, the only way is to allow oneself to settle. In doing so, however, one loses the advantage of rapid strength improvement.

“But without letting oneself settle, there will inevitably come a day when control is lost, and self-harm occurs.”

Li Xuan’s gaze, profound and distant, settled on the surging Blood Evil, sweeping over like a storm, and the effeminate-looking youth leading the tens of thousands of Netherworld Army.

Xuezhi Tu.

While Blood Refining might indeed rapidly increase strength, its downsides are equally clear – easy loss of control and self-harm.

At Xuezhi Tu’s level, if he did not allow himself to settle and continued to refine blood to improve his strength, he would likely soon lose control and harm himself.

This could also be described as, deviating into the path of demonic madness!

“Wanting to quickly advance to Blood Spirit is impossible. Even if one were to advance, they would quickly lose control and harm themselves, and even if relying on a Supreme Treasure for temporary suppression, they’d need a slow settling to digest.

“However, during this period of suppression, they wouldn’t be able to use their Blood Spirit’s power, and if they forced themselves…”

Li Xuan, who could now be considered a Martial Arts Master, truly a knowledgeable person, saw through the pros and cons of the Netherworld’s Blood Path Cultivation Technique at a glance.

Of course, this was due in part because he had read the Cultivation Technique left by the Blood Spirit Child, leading to a deeper understanding of Blood Refining.

“So this is the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, so strong!” Meng Chong couldn’t help but exclaim.

Xu Yan nodded and said, “Just a bit distressed!”

Cheng Zhan: …

Those were Immortal Heavenly Venerables, two of them together, and they could only flee, so distressed, and you have no sense of panic whatsoever?

Do you even have the leisure to judge?

“Xuezhi Tu is too strong, and the Netherworld Army is overwhelmingly aggressive. Let’s escape, back to the Myriad Thunder Sect for defense!” Cheng Zhan swallowed and suggested.

Xu Yan glanced at him. How could this Divine Realm’s True King Heavenly Venerable be so faint of heart?

“Just a minor scene, what’s there to panic about!”

Cheng Zhan: …

This is a minor scene?

Is there a bigger scene than this in the Spiritual Realm?

At that moment, Cheng Zhan was somewhat stupefied. How could the people from the Spiritual Realm speak with such boldness?

He, a proud True King Heavenly Venerable, had never witnessed such a scene before – his heart was trembling in fear, after all, two Immortal Heavenly Venerables were fleeing in distress, unprecedented!

And yet, Xu Yan casually mentioned that this was a minor scene?

What’s more, looking at Meng Chong and the others’ expressions, they seemed to fully agree with Xu Yan’s trivialization of the scene!

Cheng Zhan glanced at the composed senior and suddenly had an epiphany.

“Right, two Immortal Heavenly Venerables fleeing in distress, but with this senior added, that would make three Immortal Heavenly Venerables. Moreover, this senior seems to be even stronger.

“Three Immortal Heavenly Venerables joining forces would surely stabilize the situation; indeed, there is no need to panic!”

Thinking he had understood this point, Cheng Zhan’s spine stiffened a little, and he nodded, saying, “Right, no need to panic!”
