Chapter 808: Zhangzhou’s Powerhouses
A bright red light swept across the sky and flew into the distance at an unbelievable speed.
At last, when the blood light landed, Li Xin’s rather sorry figure could be seen. He staggered but imdiately stabilized himself. The only thing was that he had an unusually ghastly look on his face. The elder turned to look in the direction he ca from with a resentful look that seed to be tangible.
After hearing Blood Shadow’s narration previously, Li Xin found out that Ou Yangming, who was the Phoenixes’ ssenger, possessed Sir Devil God’s inheritance at the sa ti. He was deeply moved by the news.
When Li Xin was younger, he was also a devout follower of Sir Devil God. In fact, he cultivated hard and entered the top-grade boundary step by step.
Nonetheless, when Li Xin advanced into a top-grade Venerable One, he suddenly realized that this was the end of his cultivation. It was true that the elder’s devotion beca his greatest motivation for growth, but his belief beca shackles and chains to him once his cultivation base reached a certain boundary. As such, he beca stagnant and could not advance further.
Therefore, Li Xin slowly beca ambitious, and it replaced his faith.
Especially after hearing about the news, his first thought was not to protect Sir Devil God’s inheritance, but to do everything possible to take possession of both powers.
If he could succeed, it would be easy for him to find his advancent path.
Even so, the supposedly smooth plan was ruined because of 2 formidable top-grade Venerable Ones.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was not a problem. It was not their first ti eting and the mountainous apes were known for having remarkably fearso natural gifts, Li Xin was not afraid. On the other hand, the other unknown top-grade Venerable One did not reveal himself but gave him more trouble and threatened him.
At this mont, a peculiar power had stayed inside Li Xin’s body, and he could not drive it out no matter the technique he used.
Li Xin took a deep breath, then he flashed and left without a sound. After hastening for 50 kiloters, he arrived at an even more mysterious place.
Although he was in Danzhou, which was not where his lair was located, given his cultivation base and experience, it was easy for him to find a hidden place.
Li Xin opened his interspatial bag and retrieved a spirit beast’s carcass. It belonged to a top-grade spirit beast, which was capable enough to beco a Venerable One, but it happened to encounter the elder during an adventure. As a result, it was slaughtered by him, who kept its carcass after that.
Being the greatest powerhouse among the Sky-devouring Evil Remnants in Zhangzhou, Li Xin might have lost faith, but he did not lose the ways to control the secret techniques that he learned. The elder also knew so Secret Devouring Techniques, but they were less effective than that of the giant head in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness.
Under a secret technique’s control, the spirit beast’s carcass quickly shriveled and turned into nothing.
This was a top-grade spirit beast’s carcass, which would be great replenishnt for Ou Yangming if he devoured it. Nevertheless, Li Xin was a top-grade Venerable One, hence the energy provided by the carcass could only make up for so of his consumption.
Despite that, Li Xin’s face took on a grimr look after the carcass disappeared.
This was because he realized that the queer energy was still not removed from his body. The energy was deeply rooted inside his body as though it had assimilated into his blood vessels, and they could neither be dispersed nor disintegrated by the Secret Devouring Technique.
Li Xin stomped his foot, causing the ground to shake at this mont.
He knew he could not solve the problem anyti soon.
All of a sudden, Li Xin’s expression changed as he looked up in a certain direction. He mumbled as he was confused, “This is odd—why did he co here?” After pondering for a brief mont, the elder reached out his finger. A drop of blood flowed out and transford into a tiny red insect in the void.
Subsequently, he flicked, causing the tiny insect to penetrate the void and vanished.
Li Xin slowly sat and concealed his aura. It was as if he beca one with the space around him, by which even a Venerable One would not be able to notice him by scanning with one’s ntal power.
After an hour, Li Xin opened his eyes abruptly.
Far away, a luster flew in his direction like an arrow. It was not intense, but it did not have any indicator. Apart from being able to tell that it was a Venerable One as the being could fly, he could not notice anything else.
Once the luster landed and disappeared, a masked man stood with his hands behind his back. He instantly fixed his gaze on Li Xin and paced toward him.
Even though the man was clearly afraid of Li Xin, his aura was curbed but not gone, and his footsteps were solid and not weak. All in all, it seed like he could resist Li Xin from afar.
Li Xin scoffed and asked, “Why are you here?”
The person stopped and responded coldly, “I don’t suppose that I need to report to you about my presence, do I?”
Li Xin laughed wickedly and said, “Alright, I don’t want to care about the reason you’re here.” He paused for a mont before he added, “I’m injured, and I can’t recover. Take a look for .”
“You? Injured?” The person was stunned. “Given your abilities, what kind of injury can you not recover from?”
He knew very well Li Xin’s identity and was aware of the Sky-devouring Devil God’s greatest ability. Regardless of its injuries, as long as it had sufficient life force, it could recover to its peak state in extrely short tis.
In a way, as long as there were enough energies for replenishnt, all of the beings in the Sky-devouring Devil God’s line were similar to cockroaches that could not be killed.
Since Li Xin was the greatest powerhouse among the Sky-devouring Evil Remnants in Zhangzhou and also possessed the devouring power, what kind of injury could he be helpless against?
Instead of saying anything, Li Xin simply breathed out and slowly relaxed.
Upon seeing this, the man hesitated for a while but finally reached out and flickered, causing a white light to envelope Li Xin.
He was surprised after so ti, and he noted, “Li Xin, why did you provoke Mount Wuzhi?”
“Mount Wuzhi...” Li Xin’s eyes flickered. “You know the origin of this spiritual power?”
The man nodded. “Yes, I went to Mount Wuzhi as a guest a century ago, which was when I t Master Kurong—the greatest human powerhouse in Danzhou. If I’m not mistaken, you probably exchanged blows with him and got struck by his Vitality Lurking Art.”
Li Xin ca to a sudden realization as he finally understood why his hands were tied against this power.
The Sky-devouring Devil God’s abilities were mighty, but they were not invincible in the world and could be overco.
It was worth noting that the Vitality Art represented the heavenly principle behind how everything grew, and it was an energy that could resist the devouring power.
Needless to say, energies of the sa rank could also be categorized into different intensities. As much as the vitality, it was only similar to a light refreshnt for the real Sir Devil God. On the contrary, the power beca a serious problem for Li Xin.
Li Xin furrowed his eyebrows. He understood the energy’s origin, but he was troubled by how he could get rid of it.
Top-grade Venerable Ones were incredibly valiant as they were at the top of a pyramid but once they were injured, it would also be a huge problem for them. This was because they would take much more ti to recover and would have to pay a higher price as compared to normal Venerable Ones.
Li Xin beca more aggrieved, and he mumbled, “Master Kurong.” His voice was cold, so much so that even the masked man in front of him could not help but shiver.
Since Mount Wuzhi was on the radar of an enemy with strong hatred such as Li Xin, it would probably be tough for them to remain steady anymore.
Having said that, this was Danzhou, after all, thus even Li Xin might not stay here for a long ti.
The man stated after so thought, “Master Kurong’s the greatest human powerhouse in Danzhou, but he’s old, where his Qi and blood have declined, so he couldn’t have been your match, could he?”
He was implenting that even if Li Xin and Master Kurong fought, the forr would still have a higher chance of being victorious. Who knew, Li Xin ended up being severely injured instead.
Li Xin scoffed furiously. “That despicable person from Danzhou—he joined hands with 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and snuck an attack on halfway, or how could I have been injured?”
“10,000 Beasts Venerable One?” The masked man’s face changed as he was taken aback. “You provoked 2 top-grade Venerable Ones at the sa ti? You...” He had a rather strange look in his eyes as if he was making a soundless reprimand.
Li Xin grinned hideously and asked, “Why? Are you afraid?”
“Hmph, I’m not afraid, but I wouldn’t have done sothing as brainless as that.”
“You dare say that about ?” Li Xin’s eyes turned cold. “Hmph, don’t think that you can be unrestrained because of your status now. If it wasn’t for back then, could you have enjoyed this glory now?”
The man sighed and responded, “Li Xin, I won’t forget your kindness, but you have a special identity, and you’re in Danzhou now, so it’s best to keep a low profile.”
Li Xin was infuriated. “I suffered such a serious injury, and yet you’re asking to swallow my anger...”
The man waved his hand and assured him. “Don’t worry, you don’t need to take this revenge. If I’m not mistaken, Master Kurong’s not left him much ti. As long as you stay put and recuperate, you should receive news of his death soon.” He also sounded rather cold when he spoke, “Once Master Kurong’s dead, you can sneak your way into Mount Wuzhi. By then, what can stop you from taking your revenge?”
Li Xin was dumbfounded. He looked quietly at the man for so ti and replied to him, “Alright, I’ll return to Zhangzhou to recuperate now so that I can find a way to get rid of this damn vitality. Hmph, I hope that you’ll bring good news when you return.”
The man chuckled. “Don’t worry, this is likely going to be the case.”
Li Xin nodded, then he stomped his feet and turned into a rainbow to fly into the distance. The only thing was that he slowed down a lot this ti.
While the man watched him leave, he stood on the ground as if he was deep in his thoughts. In the end, he sighed and flew in a different direction, where he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
