Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 339

Chapter 339: Fifth Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace!

“Its Heavenly Palace has been ruined by you bastard!”

“Old dog Haohai, you kept claiming loyalty to the Palace, but it turns out you’re the biggest traitor!!”

The Heavenly Lord flew into a rage, clutching a jade disk, and hurled himself at Haohai Heavenly Venerable with murderous force.

In an instant an utterly terrifying pressure spread across heaven and earth, suppressing the Eight Desolations!!!

“Heavenly Lord, listen to me—Old Man, let me explain. I have always been wholeheartedly loyal to the Heavenly Palace. It was that brat Su Bai who tricked me!!”

“This is Su Bai’s plot—we were all deceived!”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s face changed drastically as he fled and pleaded, hoping the Heavenly Lord would regain some reason.

Unfortunately, his explanations had no effect; he was still pursued and driven to desperation!!!

At this moment the Heavenly Lord had already lost his reason—more than twenty Heavenly Venerables had fallen!!!

Because of his misjudgment, the Heavenly Palace suffered huge losses!

That was a capital crime!!

So even if he now realized he had been duped and that the Spirit Clan and the Heaven and Earth Society were not traitors, there was no turning back!

If His Highness found out that it was his mistake that caused such great losses, he would surely be sentenced to death!

Therefore, every single sin had to be pinned on Haohai Heavenly Venerable!

Only then would he have an excuse!

“Bullshit conspiracy—do you think I’m an idiot?”

“Old dog Haohai, you betrayed our Heavenly Palace and caused it to suffer undeserved losses. Today, I’ll use you to pay tribute to the heroic spirits who died for the Palace!!”

“Give me your life!”

“Rumble!!!”

The Heavenly Lord fully erupted; his cultivation power boiled, transforming into a surging torrent that swept the firmament and crushed toward Haohai Heavenly Venerable.

At the same time, the Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Dao Sect charged at the forty remaining Heavenly Venerables of the Palace.

For a moment the whole Central Prefecture was engulfed in an unparalleled war.

Rumble!

Rumble!!

The land cracked and space warped.

Each collision felt like a star exploding, heaven and earth shattering.

The sky itself was torn; the void was breaking.

Such a battle was a world-destroying machine!

“Damn it….”

The most devastated was Haohai Heavenly Venerable—he was doomed both inside and out.

“Why did I have to open my mouth back then? Why didn’t I mind my own business!!”

He was filled with regret—if not for that extra remark, would today’s disaster have occurred?

He had meant to make merit; instead he had erected his own tombstone!

The Heavenly Lord hated him to the bone, giving him no chance to argue, only seeking a swift end and outright execution!!!

The disparity between them was too great.

The Heavenly Lord was an Invincible Heavenly Venerable at the peak of the Ninth Heaven, second in All Under Heaven only to Flame Heavenly Lord.

Haohai Heavenly Venerable was only an Invincible Heavenly Venerable of the Seventh Layer—no match at all.

“Die!!”

On the other side, the Heavenly Lord finally found his chance; the jade disk flashed with brilliant light.

With a violent surge, a dazzling beam howled out and cleaved Haohai Heavenly Venerable in two at the waist.

“Heavenly Lord, using me as a shield—you will not die a good death, you will not die a good death!!!”

“Heavenly Lord, I curse you—you will not live ten years!!!”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s body was pierced, but his nascent soul fled.

He screamed shrilly, a jarring sound.

But now he knew fully—he had been made a human shield!

Sput!

In the next moment, his nascent soul was also split to pieces by a ray of light.

The once-invincible Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Palace, the Former Heaven-Defying Sect’s Sixth Elder, honored as Haohai Heavenly Venerable, had fallen!

After slaying Haohai Heavenly Venerable, the Heavenly Lord turned and looked at the assembled power of the Heavenly Palace; his eyes reddened.

During the time he had killed Haohai, ten more Heavenly Venerables of the Palace had also been cut down!

More than half of them had been slain by Nameless!

Nameless’s strength was that of an Invincible Heavenly Venerable of the Ninth Heaven. Without the Heavenly Lord holding him back, and without another Ninth-Height powerhouse like Deadly Strike Heavenly Venerable, the remaining Heavenly Venerables of the Palace simply could not stop him!

If this dragged on, even more would die!!

“There’s no other way, Old Ancestor. It’s not that I don’t want to wake you, but if you don’t rouse now, the Heavenly Palace’s ten-thousand-year foundation will be destroyed!” the Heavenly Lord decided, turning to begin a secret ritual to summon the sleeping Old Ancestor.

Rumble!!!

In an instant, heaven and earth roared, as if some towering existence were stirring awake.

The sky trembled, thunderclouds massed, and electric dragons roared.

From the depths of the earth rose an ancient bronze sarcophagus, slowly ascending and driving waves in the very laws of heaven and earth!!!

An inexhaustible majesty shrouded the world!!!

“Hm???”

“What is this????”

“What’s happening?!?!”

Feeling that majesty, countless strong ones across Central Prefecture were terrified, their hearts seized by fear, and they could not help but fall to their knees.

Above the vault of heaven, Su Bai’s expression also grew grave.

Another Supreme has awakened in the Heavenly Palace!

If my True Self weren’t undergoing the tribulation, I wouldn’t fear it—but my True Self can’t act now…

It seems we can’t take Central Prefecture at present!

“Retreat!”

He shouted, ordering the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Heavenly Venerables to withdraw from Central Prefecture and return to the Heavenly Dao Sect!!!

“Su Bai, don’t you dare leave!!!”

“Six Ancestor, hold him for me!!!”

“Stop them!!!”

Seeing Su Bai and the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Venerables preparing to depart, the Heavenly Lord panicked and released a string of roars.

At the same time, he himself struck out toward Nameless—the strongest among the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Venerables—trying to seize and stop him here!

“Heavenly Palace’s Venerables, face death!”

Suddenly, near Central Prefecture’s border where the Spirit Xuan Domain approached, a figure appeared, standing on a fire lotus, imposing in stature.

“What—it’s Flame Heavenly Lord of the Heavenly Dao Sect!!”

Seeing him, the Heavenly Palace’s Venerables were struck dumb with fear; who dared block the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Venerables now!

In that past battle, Flame Heavenly Lord’s performance had been terrifying—below a Supreme, no one could withstand even a single strike from him!!

Even the Heavenly Lord shuddered, staring intently at Flame Heavenly Lord, fearful he might suddenly attack.

Fifth Ancestor has awakened, but there’s still some time!

Taking that opportunity, all the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Venerables withdrew from Central Prefecture and returned to the Spirit Xuan Domain under the Heavenly Dao Sect.

At that moment, the Supreme of the Heavenly Palace finally woke completely!

“You disturbed my slumber!!”

一 cold snort rolled through heaven and earth, ringing in the ears of the Heavenly Lord and every Heavenly Venerable.

From the sarcophagus, a gaunt old man stepped out.

His white hair blew wildly, his aura titanic—like a demon god reawakened, utterly terrifying.

He was a dreadful powerhouse; a single leak of his breath made the Heavenly Lord’s courage collapse, nearly forcing him to his knees.

This was unquestionably a terrifying, Supreme-level existence!

“Hail the Fifth Ancestor!!!”

The Heavenly Lord fell to his knees and bowed respectfully.

“All hail the Fifth Ancestor!!!”

“Hail the Fifth Ancestor, congratulations on the Fifth Ancestor’s awakening!!!”

In an instant, everyone in the Heavenly Palace knelt to the ground and shouted in unison.

The Heavenly Palace’s Fifth Ancestor had awakened!!!
