truly extraordinary.""The Lord of the Heavenly Moon Palace nodded slightly."Of the group of talented individuals who entered Tiangyan Palace from the previous hunting expedition, Su Xin and Xia Mang w..."Is the Holy Lotus about to bloom"
"Hurry, hurry over here!"
Many strong warriors were startled and rushed to the center of the lake at top speed.
After arriving in the middle of the lake, they all stopped walking.
In front of them, at the very center of this tranquil Moonlit Lake, the incomparably stunning Nine-Turn Sacred Lotus was releasing dazzling red light, like a burning ball of fire. A unique fragrance gradually spread, and at the heart of the lotus, countless lotus seeds were being nurtured.
Everyone held their breath and watched.
Until that radiant red light reached its peak, the moment nine crimson lotus seeds, resembling rubies, floated up from the holy lotus blossom, the eyes of the surrounding crowd immediately burned with feverish intensity.
"Get to work!!"
"Grab it fast!"
Nine lotus seeds, whoever gets them will win.
Many figures moved at the same time.
The Blood-cloaked Marquis let out a light chuckle, his figure flitting away like a bloody phantom.
"Junior sister, you just stay here," Master Three Axes said, his figure disappearing in an instant.
Su Xin was hiding in the crowd and also approaching Sheng Lian at the fastest speed.
Because of the appearance of the Nine Turns Holy Lotus, a large number of powerful individuals have flocked to the vicinity of this Quiet Moon Lake. Although most of these powerhouses are here to join in the excitement, there are still quite a few who yearn for the lotus seeds of the Holy Lotus. At this moment, no less than a hundred figures simultaneously move to compete for it.
Those who dare to fight for it are all extremely powerful. Most of them are Nirvana Venerables at the peak of the fifth step, with dozens of sixth-step Venerables. Even strong people on the Eastern Desolate Venerable List have participated in it.
Suddenly, an intense battle erupted.
"Quickly, stop the strongest ones first."
In the crowd, someone—it was hard to say who—muttered a phrase that immediately found an echo.
Immediately, many people made their move, each using a wide variety of methods.
Those with formations for suppression, those with concealed weapons, and those capable of ranged direct attacks all converged on a single target: the three most powerful figures in the arena – the Blood-Robed Marquis, the Three-Axe Venerable, and the Venerable Shan Yi.
The three of them are all powerful figures on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List, and they are the most intimidating. Once they get the Saint Lotus seeds first, it will be too difficult for others to snatch them from these three.
Facing all sorts of attacks, Blood-robed Marquis's eyes turned cold. With a single wave of his hand, the long spear in his hand roared like a dragon, sweeping across. All the attacks directed at him were knocked away.
Although he managed to repel all these attacks, his body was still slightly hampered, and his speed was noticeably slower.
The Venerable Three Axes wielded his great axe with unmatched power. With each swing, he cleaved mountains and shattered peaks, hacking through obstacles that stood in his way. However, the relentless barrage of attacks gradually slowed him down.
“I only want lotus blossoms, not lotus seeds!”
"Get out of my way!"
Master Sanya's eyes blazed with fury, and he let out a thunderous roar.
"Who believes you"
Those around him, with various means, fiercely attacked the strong one. But he ignored them all and continued to act, obstructing those who were influencing him.
These powerful contenders for the lotus aren't foolish either. Who knows if what this Three Axes Venerable said is true or not
What if he intentionally said that and then took the lotus seeds first
The Blood-Robed Marquis and the Three Axes Venerable were both impeded by the attacks of the surrounding crowd, unable to get close to the Holy Lotus immediately.
Master Chan Yi was even stopped directly by someone.
Meanwhile, many other powerful individuals were striving with all their might to get closer to the Holy Lotus, excluding those three.
At that moment, a figure shrouded in a black robe suddenly quickened its pace, like a ghost, and was the first to reach the sacred lotus.
"What"
This person is so fast.
“Chónglù, he is Venerable Chónglù!!”
“Is it him”
Those around who were vying for the prize saw this figure in black and their faces changed.
Master Chonglu, like a renowned and powerful Six-Step Venerable within the Lei Xin domain, was even slightly stronger than Xiong Wang who had challenged Venerable Shan Yi before. He had once been on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List, but because his ranking was too low, he was soon pushed down by others.
Even if he can only be a momentary standout, it also demonstrates his skill.
And this Insect Deer venerable is extremely treacherous and cunning, with a very bad reputation in the Lei Xin domain. Like this time, it seems that this Insect Deer venerable came for the Sacred Lotus lotus seeds. However, unlike Blood Robe Marquis, Three Axes Venerable, and Good One Venerable, he did not choose to show himself but remained hidden in the shadows.
At the start of the battle, the roar that called for the strongest to be stopped first was his. He did so in order to have the Blood-clothed Marquis, the Three Axe Venerable, and the Good One Venerable, whose strength surpassed his own, held back. This allowed him to seize the opportunity and become the first to arrive before the sacred lotus.
"Haha, a bunch of fools, are you even worthy of competing with me for the treasure" Venerable Chonglu sneered, one hand already reaching out to seize all nine lotus seeds on the lotus flower.
He's not particularly skilled in physical combat. This sacred lotus seed isn't especially beneficial to him personally, but it's incredibly valuable.
This is a treasure that would drive countless Sixth Step Venerables to madness, especially those who urgently need it to enhance their flesh refinement techniques. They are incredibly eager for it.
A single sacred lotus seed is already incredibly valuable, and nine seeds… transcend the ordinary. I'm afraid no one could remain unmoved by such a treasure.
However, just as the venerable Insect Deer's palm was about to touch the nine lotus seeds, a figure suddenly appeared before him.
"What" The Venerable Chónglù was astonished. "Someone actually kept up with my speed"
He had deliberately let out a low growl before, causing the Blood-Robed Marquis, Three Axe Venerable, and Good One Venerable—three individuals who posed a threat to him—to be intercepted.
Besides these three, he was arguably the most powerful on the field and the first to arrive beside this holy lotus. However, he didn't expect someone to arrive around the same time. Apparently, this person's speed wasn't much slower than his when it came to a sudden burst.
Just a four-step peak It seems he's only cultivated some kind of secret art, and is more proficient in speed.
Master Chonglu saw through the cultivation level of the person before him and immediately didn't care.
He's just a mediocre four-step peak, not even worthy of his attention, let alone competing with him for the lotus.
Venerable Chonglu's hand continued to reach for the nine lotus seeds, while his other hand waved casually, a sword shadow flashing out.
With his skill, even a casual swing of his sword shadow would be enough to effortlessly kill a peak Fifth Step Venerable. Killing a peak Fourth Step would naturally be a piece of cake.
But he didn't know that the peak of the Four Steps he had encountered was actually Su Xin!
"Dare you underestimate me"
Looking at the insect-like Venerable Chu before him, who actually dared to reach out for those nine lotus seeds, Su Xin sneered. He raised his purple divine sword high in his hand, and his own power at this moment erupted to its peak.
On his palm, layers of blood-colored crystals were condensing.
The Starry Hand, too, has already been unleashed.
"Shadowing!!"
A multitude of sword shadows overlapped and crashed down in an instant.
This Insect Deer Venerable, although incredibly powerful and once ranked among the top six venerables on the Eastern Desolation Venerable List, must be understood. The rank of Six Steps Venerable isn't a measure of cultivation realm. It's simply a conceptual designation given to those who have created exceptional techniques or possess advantages in other areas.
A Six-Step Venerable is perhaps slightly stronger than a peak Five-Step Venerable in terms of power and might, but not by much.
While Su Xin, his cultivation at the peak of the second step, relying on bloodline power and physical strength, fully erupted, his power was a significant notch stronger than that of a five-step peak Venerable.
Now that his cultivation has reached the peak of the third step, his power and might have surged again!
He also unleashed the Nebula Hand, boosting his power and might fivefold!
What a terrifying power this is!
At this very moment, he had poured every ounce of his strength into the attack, short of unleashing his ultimate technique. However, Venerable Chonglu didn't seem to regard him, a pinnacle four-step cultivator, as anything special. With a casual wave of his sword, he met the attack head-on…
"My goodness!!"
Master Chonglu glared.
He only felt a terrifying power, like a landslide or tsunami, being transmitted from the opponent's sword.
This power was unlike anything he had ever seen before.
"
Bang!
"
Master Chonglu was struck as if by a meteorite. The immense power slammed into him, causing his body to shudder violently. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his face paling instantly, and his figure was cleaved directly into the lake.
"How is that possible"
"That's Master Chonglu!!"
"One sword strike, and the Insect Deer Venerable is severely injured"
The powerful individuals who rushed over saw this scene and all of them showed expressions of disbelief.
"This person..."
The Blood-cloaked Marquis, the Third Axe Venerable, and the Benevolent One Venerable were equally astonished.
That Bug Lu, even though he was once on the Eastern Wilderness Venerable List, is extremely powerful. Even if he was a little careless just now, it shouldn't be possible for him to be seriously injured and vomiting blood with a single sword strike, right
And under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Su Xin, who had severely wounded and thrown the Insect Deer Venerable into the lake, reached out his hand towards the front and directly plucked the entire Holy Lotus, along with its nine lotus seeds, into his grasp.
"Put down the lotus seeds!!"
"Let go!"
The surrounding strong individuals were instantly furious.
"He even took off the Sacred Lotus" Elder Sanfu's face changed.
After Ke Su removed the Holy Lotus and lotus seeds, he did not immediately put them into his spatial ring. Instead, with a wave of his hand, seven out of the nine Holy Lotus seeds transformed into seven streaks of light and darted off in different directions.
There are three directions, and they just happen to be the directions of the Blood-Robed Marquis, the Three-Axe Venerable, and the Good-One Venerable.
"As I cultivated the second layer of the Indestructible Scripture, two lotus seeds were enough. Greedily chewing more than one could handle, if I had gotten too many lotus seeds at once, I would inevitably become a target. Su Xin's heart remained calm."
He knew very well that although each of these sacred lotus seeds was incredibly precious, no treasure was more valuable than his own life.
Two lotus seeds are enough, don't be too greedy.
Nine lotus seeds, Su Xin instantly threw away seven, and these seven lotus seeds immediately caused a frenzy of competition.
While Su Xin alone took two lotus seeds and the intact holy lotus, he looked for an opportunity to leave.
Even if it were just two lotus seeds, someone would still be eyeing him.
Nine lotus seeds, he alone occupied two!
"Kill him first, and then we can take the two lotus seeds."
The three Bone Kings from Gu Shen Zong looked at each other, and in an instant, the three of them moved.
