“I feel the same way, as if I have a premonition of something. My heart has been heavy, I can’t bring myself to feel happy. The Heavenly Saint Taoist must be plotting something, but what is he trying to do? That’s a big mystery.”

Ba Ke Yun nodded, his face somber and confused. Why was the situation so good but he felt so uneasy about it? Particularly when the Heavenly Saint Taoist had fought the enemy to a standstill. But delaying time was extremely detrimental to the Heavenly Saint Taoist.

Yet, he could not read any impatience from the Heavenly Saint Taoist’s face. Instead, he seemed calm and composed, as though he had planned everything out perfectly, turning the tables and making everyone present fall into his trap.

Shangguan Bowe frowned, deep in speculation. “The strength of the Heavenly Saint Taoist seems to have been halved somehow. Could he have only one-tenth of his strength left before he dies? Unlikely. His reserve of power shouldn’t be this weak. As an entity that has already stepped into the highest realm, this is simply inconceivable.”

The demi-sacred demon beast, after the previous battle, became smug. It thought that a sacred seat was nothing special, so its attacks became even more fierce, forcing the Heavenly Saint Taoist to keep retreating, not daring to confront it head-on.

“The Saint Throne is laughable. No wonder you haven’t made any progress in a hundred years. You’re old now and should take a rest. You might as well build a monument for yourself and sleep forever. You won’t risk the disgrace of failure in front of everyone. Look at the pitiful state you are in now. You can’t gain any advantage against me.”

Mocking and attacking at the same time, he had been rather pleased for almost an hour. He assumed that the Beast King’s injuries should be nearly healed by now. This made him very pleased. The Demon Beast Clan could finally rise again. The revenge from a hundred years ago could be avenged. Thinking about this, his bloodline power surged even greater.

The Heavenly Saint Taoist laughed heartily and retorted, “The attacks just now were mere probes. The real Divine Skill has just begun. Don’t underestimate the Saint Throne, because a random strike from me is sufficient to bring you down. After your arrogance comes endless despair. Little demi-sacred throne, prepare to face my wrath.”

With a wave of his hand, countless divine thunders descended from the sky and mercilessly crashed downward like disdainful falling meteorites. This attack left the demi-sacred demon beast with no room to retreat. It could only use its body to block it. If it did not block the attack, even if it managed to dodge it, all the hundreds of thousands of monsters in the vicinity would be doomed.

Shangguan Bowe had a hunch, as if he could see through everything. The Heavenly Saint Taoist seemed to be buying time. All his Divine Skills had great destructive power, but they did not have lethal power. They could deal with minor opponents, but they were meaningless against a demi-sacred throne.

Under the ground in the magma, more than half the time had passed. Under the law herbs, the wounds of the Beast King had healed by half. It seemed to have awakened from its deep sleep. Its eyes were fixed on Logan. The supreme pressure that it emitted made Logan helpless.

Coughing once, Logan explained with his hands held out, “I’m not an enemy. I was specifically brought in to heal you. I am your life-saving benefactor. Moreover, I have wasted a law spirit grass on you. After you recover, you must repay me. Hurry up and heal your wounds. Don’t continue to threaten others.”

But the next moment, Logan realized something was wrong. The pressure coming from the Beast King did not seem to be directed at him. The beast king was looking far beyond him, it was obviously staring at his back. Though the Beast King had fallen into deep sleep, it was not so ignorant of the world around it.

Knowing that he was its benefactor, it would not use its pressure to intimidate him. Perhaps he was thinking incorrectly. Was there an enemy behind him? But, by the time Logan realized this horrifying fact, a deadly danger had already approached, and, responding instinctively, Logan retreated ten meters with a single leap.

Turning around, he was astounded to see the Heavenly Saint Taoist. How was it possible? Wasn’t the demi-sacred Beast King, along with several hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, fighting with the Heavenly Saint Taoist above? How did the Heavenly Saint Taoist suddenly appear here in the underground magma? freewebnσvel.cѳm

Did the Heavenly Saint Taoist already fall? He didn’t think so because, after all, the Heavenly Saint Taoist was, by any standard, in a demi-sacred state. He should have been able to delay for an hour, and if all else fails, the hundreds of thousands of demon beasts could block for a while.

The Heavenly Saint Taoist laughed madly and taunted, “Are you very confused? You thought everything was part of your meticulous layout, but here I am in this underground magma. Would you like me to explain it to you? Ultimately, you are just tiny ants, no matter how good your setup is, how could you compete with a Deity?”

“I had been guessing about it. In fact, from the moment you wanted to take in a closed-door disciple, I realized that your intentions were not simple. You turned ten thousand people into your chess pieces. Don’t you know it is wrong to sacrifice others at will? We are all human cultivators, but you want to turn all living beings into charcoal, creating such a great sin.”

Logan took a deep breath and said calmly, “Actually, I didn’t want to get involved in your conflict with the Demon Beast Clan. After all, the world of cultivation is always cruel. But you used me as a pawn and sacrificed me. So I have to fight.”

“Let me explain it kindly for you. First of all, you ten thousand people were my pawns. Using you to fight the Demon Beast Clan, I wanted to seize the opportunity to come here, then directly kill the Beast King and take things. Unfortunately, you were too incompetent, and you were routed by a million demon beasts.”

The Heavenly Saint Taoist shook his head, and said disdainfully, “However, you were an exception. Your mastery of the array was extremely skillful. You indeed became my most outstanding chess piece, contributing greatly to my plan. Unfortunately, the Beast King hid in this underground magma, and I could not find him for several days.”

“I thought I had made a miscalculation and was already planning for the next setup when you guys tried to outsmart me and helped me. I have been watching your every move in secret. You confidently sought cooperation with the demi-sacred demon beast, who easily believed you and led you into this underground magma. From then on, I was sure that the Beast King was here. You guys really did me a big favor.”

Logan clenched his fists and was lost for words. Regret filled his heart. He had been too hasty back then and hadn’t considered this aspect. As a result, he had been used by the Heavenly Saint Taoist. It was his own mistake. If he had been calmer and thought about why the Heavenly Saint Taoist hadn’t been able to get what he wanted in a hundred years, things might have turned out differently.

He looked at the Heavenly Saint Taoist and said word by word, “One last question, how did you get down here? What about Shangguan Bowe and the others? I don’t believe you managed to easily kill a demi-sacred demon beast. Did you use some sort of Divine Skill to trap everyone?”

“Simple. The moment I showed up, I used a great Divine Technique to divide myself into two. One part of my consciousness is fighting them above, and my real body, of course, came here to kill the Beast King.”

The Heavenly Saint Taoist laughed mockingly, with a sense of triumph and playfulness, “Unfortunately, in order to deceive everyone above, I gave half of my power to this separate consciousness. So now I only have half of my power left. However, this is more than enough. After all, you are the only one here, a mere Transcendent Tier.”

“So that’s how it is.” Logan had a sudden realization. He had to admit, the Heavenly Saint Taoist was indeed a master schemer who had trapped everyone else. He was alone and had become an easy target.
