Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 222

Chapter 222: “Di Buyu” Takes the Stage—A Civil War Inside the Heavenly Palace?

After Lin Haitian of the Dao Tian Sect revealed his identity as the Eighth True Disciple of the Heavenly Palace, someone slowly stepped out from the Heavenly Dao Sect’s side.

It was a mysterious young man wearing a conical hat, his head bowed low. His entire presence seemed concealed beneath the hat, making him unfathomable.

“There he is, there he is!”

“A disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect has appeared!”

“Hmm, it’s not Xiao Yan?”

“What the hell, who is this? Why is he hiding himself like that?”

“Who cares who he is? Someone’s going to die, so start recording, start recording!”

After the Heavenly Dao Sect disciple appeared, the arena erupted into excitement once again! One after another, they were wildly exhilarated!

It’s starting, it’s starting!

“Waste of space, here to throw your life away?!”

Lin Haitian furrowed his brows and shouted coldly.

This sudden appearance—just looking at him, he’s clearly a sacrificial pawn!

So boring!

“Get lost!”

The young man beneath the cloak replied coldly.

“What?”

Lin Haitian’s anger surged instantly, his fury erupting.

Who was he?

A distinguished Heavenly Palace True Disciple!

A peerless genius recognized across the entire Continent!

“Kid, looks like I have to teach you a lesson first!”

With that, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

In an instant, a massive wave of water-element Spiritual Energy roared forth, surging fiercely toward the cloaked young man.

“Boom!”

The cloaked youth pointed his finger, releasing a dazzling spear of light that cut across the sky.

The towering wave instantly dissolved into nothingness.

“Hmm?”

Seeing his massive water-element wave shattered, Lin Haitian’s pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief as he stared at the cloaked youth.

Though his strike was just a test, not full force, he was still a Heavenly Palace True Disciple—easily capable of overpowering Zhang Kuang.

So the Heavenly Dao Sect actually had a genius even stronger than Zhang Kuang besides Xiao Yan?

“Who exactly are you? Dare to give your name?”

“When did the Heavenly Dao Sect have such a formidable expert like you?!”

Lin Haitian asked in a deep voice, a hint of caution creeping into it.

This person was no ordinary opponent!

“Who am I?”The cloaked youth let out a soft “hmm” and finally lifted his conical hat.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Haitian.

In that instant, Lin Haitian felt his vision blur, and he stood frozen in shock.

“B…Big brother?!”

Seeing the face of the cloaked youth clearly, Lin Haitian’s mind went completely blank, his whole body trembling violently.

It wasn’t just him—everyone present was stunned at that moment!

Millions of onlookers, the Dao Tian Sect disciples, the judges…

All were completely dumbfounded!

At that moment, the entire crowd of spectators wore expressions of utter bewilderment!

Damn!

This…

This is just too crazy!

“He… he is… the First True Disciple of the Heavenly Palace, Di Buyu!”

Someone shouted, instantly setting the entire arena off!

“What the hell? Di Buyu?”

“Oh my god! Is this for real? Did I just hear that right?”

“The First True Disciple of the Heavenly Palace, Di Buyu!”

“Heavenly Palace’s true transmission versus true transmission? Damn, this is big news!”

“This is freaking explosive!”

…………………..

Everyone stared blankly, as if turned to stone!

It wasn’t the shock that Di Buyu was fighting, but the shock that he was actually on the side of the Heavenly Dao Sect!

Outsiders didn’t know the truth about Di Buyu, but how could the people from the Heavenly Palace not know?

Di Buyu had already perished three years ago!

And now, suddenly, he was representing the Heavenly Dao Sect in battle?

“Di Buyu has already been refined into a puppet!”

An elder of the Dao Tian Sect finally saw through it and quickly warned Lin Haitian.“What? A puppet?!”

Hearing this, everyone immediately gasped in shock!

No wonder, no wonder Di Buyu stepped forward to fight for the Heavenly Dao Sect!

So it turned out he wasn’t a true Daoist at all—just a puppet!

“But can a puppet even fight?”

“There have been instances in history. There’s no rule against a true Daoist forging a puppet to battle, since puppets are inherently weaker than real Daoists.”

“Besides, a true Daoist puppet’s power is not only weaker than a real Daoist’s but also cannot improve its strength.”

Everyone suddenly understood.

“Damn it!”

Lin Haitian’s face darkened with gloom, his teeth grinding with rage.

Although a puppet’s strength is inferior to a true Daoist’s, it wouldn’t decline by that much!

At least half of the original power would remain!

Di Buyu had been the First True Disciple of the Heavenly Palace, with cultivation at the Perfected Nascent Soul stage!

He was just barely short of mastering the Power of Space!

If he hadn’t perished three years ago, by now he would certainly have mastered it!

Even if Di Buyu was only a puppet now, at the Perfected Nascent Soul level, his strength…

Lin Haitian suddenly shivered, a cold chill running down his spine.

But since he had stepped onto the life-and-death arena, one person had to fall for the other to leave!

He had already reached a dead end!

“A mere puppet—I refuse to believe I can’t even defeat a puppet!”

Lin Haitian gritted his teeth, clutching a specially crafted harpoon. Spiritual energy surged wildly through his body, elevating his cultivation base to its peak.

“Die!”

With a fierce roar, Lin Haitian thrust the harpoon forward. Boundless, roaring spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave!

Boom!

In midair, a vast, deep blue ocean materialized out of thin air, crashing down with the force of crushing everything in its path!

This move was one of Lin Haitian’s ultimate trump cards, its power earth-shattering!

Yet, in the face of this overwhelming Ocean Dominion bearing down from above, Di Buyu remained completely unmoved.

At some point, a crimson spear had appeared in his hand.

“Extinguish!”

Di Buyu snorted coldly and gave his arm a sharp shake.

In an instant, stars sparkled across the sky, dazzling and brilliant!

His long spear sliced through the void, stabbing straight into the looming ocean wave.

Boom!

The two forces collided with a thunderous roar.

What happened next tore Lin Haitian’s heart to pieces.

The Ocean Dominion he had unleashed was punctured like it was made of paper, pierced through by the spear!

Even though his opponent was just a puppet, unable to cultivate, and only possessed the strength he had three years ago, Di Buyu was still far beyond him!

The gap between the First True Disciple and the Eighth True Disciple was laid bare in that moment!

*Pfft!*

A muffled thud!

The long spear stabbed straight into Lin Haitian’s chest!

One strike, instant kill!
