Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1439: Chapter 1465: Black Dragon Venerable

The soul of the Divinity Transformation Venerable, seeing the giant tail sweeping towards him, decisively escaped into the Void.

He was just about to flee, when layers of chains immediately appeared, binding him.

Startled and furious, he shouted, "Let me go!"

The chains immediately showed cracks.

Jiang Fan was taken aback, unable to imprison him?

Previously imprisoning a Dharma Image Realm Half-Giant was quite easy to suppress.

In an instant, he understood.

The soul of the Half-Giant was only half human, the other half a mysterious black entity.

The soul of the current Divinity Transformation Venerable was a genuine soul of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

His Nine Aperture Nascent Soul, attempting to imprison it, was indeed a bit of a stretch.

The brief mistake allowed the giant tail to press close.

"Let me go now!" The soul of the Divinity Transformation Venerable screamed in terror.

Jiang Fan’s heart also pounded fiercely.

Is it already too late?

Suddenly, he remembered something, and a phantom of a green eye appeared on his abdomen.

After sweeping over the Divinity Transformation Venerable,

Jiang Fan shouted in a low voice, "Soften everything!"

He had never used the copying magic eye to replicate the domain of the Divinity Transformation Venerable.

Could it succeed? He had no certainty.

But now, he could only try!

As his mind moved, a faint ripple spread over a ten-zhang area centered on him.

Suddenly.

The surrounding ground and the Yue Mingzhu within this range were unexpectedly affected.

The ground softened, and the Yue Mingzhu felt as if influenced by the soften everything domain.

Though more than ten times weaker, it indeed was softening everything!

The soul of the struggling Divinity Transformation Venerable was even more affected, its strength weakening, and the nearly collapsing Soul Capturing Lock immediately tightened around it.

"Ah! Let me go now!"

All this seemed lengthy, but in reality, was just an electric spark moment.

Jiang Fan grabbed the soul, snatching the space storage device from its hand while pinching it in his other hand.

"Stop!"

"Or I will crush them all!"

To be safe, he used the storage device as a bargaining chip for threat.

Without either, the Great Venerate before him would not gain the upper hand.

Boom!

The giant tail brushed past above them, like a myriad of thunderbolts roaring overhead, carving out a horrifying, pitch-black crack!

The lingering aftershock caused one’s whole body to shiver.

A trickle of cold sweat flowed down from Yue Mingzhu’s forehead.

They almost got crushed under the strike of the Venerable in the Heavenly Human Five Declines.

Deep in the sky.

A pair of dim yellow eyes, faintly appearing, squinted, watching Jiang Fan and Yue Mingzhu.

Although he couldn’t see them, he could keenly sense their existence.

After all, it was the Heavenly Human Five Declines, just a step away from a sage.

Even the sage’s engravings had limited effect.

"I do not like being threatened,"

Within the dark clouds, the Great Venerate’s voice radiated majestically and indifferently.

A pair of eyes shot forth a cold gleam that disregarded life.

The giant tail that swept past them descended once more, targeting the two.

However, as if sensing something, he glanced at Jiang Fan in surprise.

The giant tail aiming to attack him also paused for a moment.

But soon, it accelerated again to crush down.

Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly realized.

The opponent was gambling on him not daring to crush the space storage device!

The Black Lotus of Tribulation, an object capable of suppressing an entire realm, would he easily give it up?

He was merely testing Jiang Fan’s resolve.

His eyes showed determination, decisively exerting force, let’s see who is afraid of whom!

Yet.

While the two tested each other.

A heavy cold snort, like rolling thunder, resonated throughout the surroundings.

"I knew it was you!"

The sound embodied a vast angelic might, momentarily dispersing the sun-obscuring black Yin Qi, revealing the sky.

Though it was just a moment.

Jiang Fan recognized it.

The owner of the giant tail was none other than!

The Black Dragon Venerable!!!

Wasn’t this guy using the pretext of undergoing atavism and cultivating at a crucial time to seclude himself in his cave?

How could he be in the interlayer world?

The Black Dragon Venerable’s dim yellow gaze concentrated, retracting the giant tail, gazing remotely towards the horizon.

A towering middle-aged figure radiating faint golden light arrived via Instantaneous Movement.

It was the Golden Scale Venerate!

At this moment, he was filled with rage: "I should have guessed, you were after the Black Lotus of Tribulation!"

"To obtain the Black Lotus of Tribulation, you recklessly reopened the interlayer world!"

He was puzzled why, after successfully sealing the breach with Xingyuan Venerable’s help, it was inexplicably reopened.

Turns out the Black Dragon Venerable was secretly up to mischief!

Jiang Fan frowned deeply.

The hellish creature outbreak ten days ago caused great casualties to Spiritual Snake Mountain!

On the way here, he personally witnessed countless demon clan corpses, yet to be collected, the disaster was hard to fathom.

Those were fellow demon clan members!

The Black Dragon Venerable, for the Black Lotus of Tribulation, was willing to unleash calamity?

"So what if I was?" The Black Dragon Venerable crossed his arms, disdainfully eyeing the Golden Scale Venerate.

The Golden Scale Venerate clenched his fists.

"You tore the rift open a second time, triggering hellish creatures, causing a dire situation to attract the Great Wine Sacrifice, to tackle that sage realm hell creature, right?"

"Only then could you steal the Black Lotus of Tribulation!"

"However, the ancestors of Spiritual Snake Mountain left a will, this Black Lotus of Tribulation must never leave the interlayer world!"

"And you were eyeing it!"

Jiang Fan finally understood.

It turns out Spiritual Snake Mountain was long aware of the interlayer world’s existence!

And knew of the Black Lotus of Tribulation!

It’s just that the Black Dragon Venerable, driven by greed, intended to take away this forbidden object, the Black Lotus of Tribulation.

But he feared the sage realm hell creatures, hence schemed a second hellish creature outbreak.

If not for Jiang Fan’s delay, the Black Dragon Venerable would have quietly taken the Black Lotus of Tribulation and nonchalantly returned to his cave.

No one would suspect the one in atavistic seclusion.

The Black Dragon Venerable sneered: "Ancestral ancestors, this time with the descent of ancient giants, all of Central Earth is doomed, can the ancestor jump out to help us?"

"We can only rely on ourselves!"

"This Black Lotus of Tribulation can help us nurture another Great Venerate, why not?"

The Golden Scale Venerate said solemnly: "What about the dead demon clan comrades?"

The Black Dragon Venerable dismissively remarked, "Just some low-tier demon clans."

"Their death, in exchange for a Great Venerate, why not?"

The Golden Scale Venerate laughed out of anger: "Twisting facts and logic!"

"Claiming it’s for Central Earth, you’re clearly dissatisfied with my position as master of Spiritual Snake Mountain, wanting to cultivate a Great Venerate against me!"

"If you truly cared for the demon clan, you wouldn’t incite the hellish creature outbreak!"

This time, if not for the West Sea Crown Prince’s intervention, the entire Demon Continent would have fallen!

And yet he shamelessly claimed it was for Central Earth.

"Hand over the Black Lotus of Tribulation!" The Golden Scale Venerate ordered, "This Black Lotus is not allowed to be taken out of the interlayer world!"

The Black Dragon Venerable’s eyes showed ferocity: "What if I don’t?"

"I’ve already entered atavism, you are no match for me!"

The Golden Scale Venerate snorted: "How do you know without trying?"

With a swish, both vanished from their original positions.

Ripples of terrifying energy reverberated from the sky.

At this moment.

Black Dragon Venerable’s voice transmission reached Jiang Fan’s ears: "I’ll hold off the Golden Scale Venerate."

"Hide outside, wait for my signal."

Jiang Fan then understood why just now the Black Dragon Venerable paused when he attacked him.

It turned out, early on, he recognized his identity through the drop of poison on Jiang Fan.
