Chapter 1624: Chapter 1621: The Situation Is Settled
Su Baili, drenched in blood, his eyes blazing red, his life essence blood burning, pushed his aura to unprecedented heights in a short time. Yet, faced with the combined assault of the Divinity Transformation Realm masters Shen Wanjing and Wan Daorong, he found himself trapped in a dire situation with no way out.
"Shen Wanjing, Wan Daorong, do you truly intend to exterminate me?" Su Baili’s voice carried a hoarse grittiness, along with a sense of unwillingness. As a senior member of the Wangxian Sect, when had he ever imagined he’d face such a humiliating moment?
Shen Wanjing remained silent, unceasingly crafting spells in his hands, divine skills gleaming around him, clearly showing no intention of stopping. His silence was the clearest answer—today’s events would not end until one of them perished.
With a righteousness encompassing him, Wan Daorong decisively exclaimed after brief contemplation, "As a senior member of the Wangxian Sect and a Divinity Transformation Realm master of the Southern Domain, you should have considered the grand balance of the Southern Domain Cultivation World. Yet, for personal vendettas and gains, you attacked my disciple and incited the Great Dao Sect and He Family under my Shang Qing Sect to join forces in attacking the Flame Moon Sect, attempting to provoke a battle and massacre across the Southern Domain Cultivation World, an unforgivable crime!"
Before his voice faded, the Human Emperor Banner in Wan Daorong’s hand abruptly burst forth with dazzling light.
This Supreme Treasure, bearing the righteousness of heaven and earth, under his command, erupted with terrifying sealing power. Golden runes surged out like a tide, intertwining in the void to form a massive sealing net, blocking all of Su Baili’s possible escape routes.
"Su Baili, today is the day you pay for your sins!" Wan Daorong’s voice thundered through the skies, and the power of the Human Emperor Banner was unleashed to its utmost extent. For a moment, the void within a hundred miles was stilled, as if even the Heaven and Earth Laws were suppressed by the Human Emperor Banner.
Su Baili’s expression changed drastically; he could distinctly feel his initially boiling mana being forcibly suppressed by the sealing power of the Human Emperor Banner. Even the temporary boost gained by burning life essence blood began to show unstable fluctuations.
The power of this Human Emperor Banner was terrifyingly immense.
Not only he but even Shen Wanjing felt a chill in his heart. Although not the target of the Human Emperor Banner’s attack, he could still feel its terrifying power upon activation and wondered if he could steadily triumph over Wan Daorong in his current state with the Human Emperor Banner unleashed.
"Wan Daorong, are you intent on severing ties with my Wangxian Sect completely?" Su Baili shouted sternly, trying to wield the consequences of an Immortal Gate war as leverage to sway the other’s resolve.
Wan Daorong merely chuckled coldly, "From the moment you attacked my disciple, you and I were already irreconcilable!"
The suppressive force of the Human Emperor Banner grew more violent, and Su Baili felt his primordial spirit trembling. If he didn’t find a way to escape, he feared he would meet his end here today.
A glint of determination flashed in Su Baili’s eyes as a terrifying aura erupted from within him.
Wan Daorong’s pupils shrank as he said gravely, "He’s going to self-detonate his primordial spirit!"
Su Baili now had no other way out. Faced with the terrifying seal of the Human Emperor Banner and Shen Wanjing’s menacing presence, his only path to survival was through paying a terrible price.
A silver-white light shot out from his forehead, revealing a manifestation of thirty percent of his primordial spirit body. As soon as this part appeared, it exploded with a bang, sending waves of primordial spirit power in all directions, forcibly shaking the Human Emperor Banner’s sealing power and tearing countless gaps in the sealed void.
"Pfft—" Su Baili spat a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale as paper in an instant, his aura plummeting to an all-time low.
By self-detonating thirty percent of his primordial spirit body, the damage was almost irreparable; even if he escaped, his cultivation realm would fall, possibly never to recover.
But he had no choice left.
Compared to dying here, what was the fall of his realm?
Taking advantage of that brief moment when the Human Emperor Banner’s sealing power was shaken by the primordial spirit’s explosion, Su Baili tore the void apart, turning into a stream of light and fleeing into the distance.
"Trying to escape?" Wan Daorong snorted coldly, waving the Human Emperor Banner again. The golden light formed a gigantic golden net, tracking and enveloping the direction Su Baili was fleeing.
However, Su Baili had clearly been prepared for this. While escaping, he continually tore through space to change directions. Together with the short-lived power burst from the self-detonation of his primordial spirit, he remarkably managed to escape from both Wan Daorong and Shen Wanjing.
"What a pity." Shen Wanjing sighed softly, gazing toward the direction where Su Baili vanished, "He will surely become a major threat in the future."
Wan Daorong put away the Human Emperor Banner, his expression indifferent, "No matter, today he’s paid a painful price. Self-detonating thirty percent of his primordial spirit body, even if he can recover, will take hundreds of years. Moreover, with his current defeat and escape, the reputation of Wangxian Sect will also suffer a severe blow."
"Let us quickly go to support Li Shuya."
...
Meanwhile, on another battlefield of Divinity Transformation Realm masters, the situation also saw subtle changes.
Jiang Daozu, Wang Zudao, and He Wudao combined their efforts against Li Shuya, initially holding the upper hand. However, with Su Baili’s retreat, the trio’s mindset immediately shifted.
Jiang Daozu had already been calculating in his heart, "With Master Su Baili injured and fleeing, I alone can’t stir up much of a storm here. The other Divinity Transformation Realm masters from Shang Qing Sect and Shifang City must have already engaged Wangxian Sect’s members; otherwise, they would have arrived by now." While tangling with Li Shuya, he mused secretly, "Now, with Wang Zudao and He Wudao teaming up against Shen Wanjing, Wan Daorong, and Li Shuya, we have no advantage whatsoever. Continuing to fight will only waste my mana and might even put me in a dangerous situation."
Wang Zudao’s feelings were even more conflicted. As the founder of the Great Dao Sect, he knew there was no hope for success today. With Su Baili’s retreat and Jiang Daozu clearly losing his resolve, he knew he needed to return to the Great Dao Sect to swiftly lead the sect out of the Southern South Domain.
Deep down, he felt a twinge of regret.
This decision might destroy the Great Dao Sect’s millennia-old legacy.
If they sought refuge with Wangxian Sect in the future, it would mean living under someone else’s roof.
He Wudao’s expression was even more sullen. He initially believed that by joining forces with Wangxian Sect, they could finally eradicate the Flame Moon Sect. Yet beyond Su Baili and Jiang Daozu, no other Divinity Transformation Realm masters from Wangxian Sect had come.
Under such circumstances, even if Lingxiao Sect, Feng Family, and Zhong Family had not arrived to assist yet, they still couldn’t annihilate Flame Moon Sect.
What’s more, that young Yang Fei had single-handedly turned the tide on the Core Formation Stage battlefield.
Feeling the loss of those Core Formation Stage cultivators slain by Yang Fei, He Wudao’s heart bled—those were the elite of the He Family!
The worst part was that Shen Wanjing and Wan Daorong’s auras were drawing ever closer, clearly heading their way.
Jiang Daozu, Wang Zudao, and He Wudao simultaneously came to a decision—to retreat!
"Leave!" Jiang Daozu whispered urgently, forming a spell with his hands. A spatial fissure opened in front of him, and he stepped through without hesitation, disappearing from sight.
Wang Zudao and He Wudao were even more decisive, both waving their hands to unleash divine skills, creating a barrier to block Li Shuya’s pursuit while employing escape techniques to rapidly leave in opposite directions.
"Trying to run?" Li Shuya snorted coldly, about to unleash a magic treasure to pursue, but just then a voice reached out, "Don’t chase."
Wan Daorong and Shen Wanjing arrived in an instant.
Li Shuya, with a look of regret, asked, "Su Baili escaped?"
"He did, but he exchanged his escape for the self-detonation of thirty percent of his primordial spirit body," Wan Daorong remarked blandly, "While today’s events didn’t completely eradicate future troubles, they certainly taught them a heavy lesson."
Li Shuya’s divine sense swept over the core sky of the Flame Moon Sect and found multiple areas damaged, angrily stating, "Forget Wangxian Sect; that Great Dao Sect and He Family dared to betray the Southern South Domain alliance, they deserve death."
As he spoke, he suddenly gazed into the distant void.
Shen Wanjing and Wan Daorong’s expressions also shifted, and the three exchanged glances before disappearing.
