Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1868: Chapter 1910: Great Venerate Silver Moon

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, outside the mountain gate.

Silvermoon Supreme stood with his hands behind his back, a look of disdain on his face: "A dead tiger that can’t transform dares to block me?"

On the ground, an injured white tiger crouched low, glaring fiercely at him and letting out deep growls.

The white tiger was originally living out its days in peace at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

It spent its days eating and sleeping, waking up to drink, basking in the sun with nothing better to do, running around playfully in the surrounding areas, living a carefree and happy life.

Compared to the kill-or-be-killed days in the Ancient Wilderness Hunting Grounds against other Great Demons, it was like being in paradise.

But good times don’t last long.

Ever since Senior Feng from Sanqing Mountain awoke to Divinity Transformation under the guidance of the Buddha’s Buddha Beads by Jiang Fan, numerous late-stage Nascent Soul experts flocked to the Nine States.

They all wanted to use the Buddha Beads to prove the Dao and transform.

But that would consume the Buddha’s charm of the beads.

If outsiders depleted the Buddha’s charm, what would the people of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion use?

Thus, the white tiger was assigned to guard the mountain gate, keeping them all out.

But today, two unwelcome guests arrived, proving troublesome to handle.

Red Demon Venerable, True Word Venerable, and Green Pearl hurried over at the commotion.

True Word Venerable’s brows knitted slightly:

"Silvermoon Supreme? And Moon Venerate? What are you doing at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"

She could understand late-stage Nascent Soul Martial Artists coming, but why were two from the Divinity Transformation Realm here?

Silvermoon Supreme, with hands behind his back, said: "Ask Jiang Fan to come out; I have something to discuss with him."

Green Pearl snorted, "What audacity! To demand my husband to come out? Who do you think you are?"

Husband?

Moon Venerate glanced lightly at Green Pearl, with her silver hair and exquisite face like that of a beautiful sprite running through the verdant wilderness.

Jiang Fan truly has good fortune.

She sighed softly, looking towards Silvermoon Supreme and said, "Silvermoon, let’s go."

"We didn’t come to make enemies, let it not escalate further."

She came because she heard that the Young Emperor had given Jiang Fan a black Spiritual Medicine that could help someone break through the Heavenly Human Three Declines, yet Jiang Fan refused to use it.

Coincidentally, she was currently at the Heavenly Human Two Declines and needed this medicine.

Since Jiang Fan had no use for it, she thought to exchange it.

But the white tiger guarded the mountain gate, refusing them entry, and Silvermoon Supreme, relying on his cultivation, attempted to force entry, causing the commotion.

Silvermoon Supreme said indifferently, "Just leaving like this, what happens to Moon Palace’s dignity?"

"Traveling from afar for this audience, and Jiang Fan refuses us, does he think himself a Sage?"

True Word Venerable said, "My husband is in seclusion preparing for battle and cannot be disturbed, please understand."

Moon Venerate again scrutinized True Word Venerable, inwardly admiring once more, another peerless beauty.

Surely, she must be True Word Venerable, the orphan of Xingyuan Venerable?

She said, "Silvermoon, it’s not that Jiang Fan is avoiding us. He’s preparing to challenge the Young Emperor; his training is urgent, let’s not press further."

Silvermoon Supreme smirked, "Challenge the Young Emperor? Is he even worthy?"

"What does he know of the Young Emperor’s strength?"

"It’s fair to say that he’s merely awaiting his death!"

These words infuriated everyone.

The white tiger, as a maestro advocating civility, couldn’t tolerate such disrespect towards Jiang Fan.

It roared in anger and charged forward.

True Word Venerable’s eyes grew cold, and without further words, she activated her Domain.

Red Demon Venerable snorted, "Impolite youngster!"

With a grasp of his hand, vast energy gathered in his palm and instantly moved to attack.

Green Pearl also surged forward with an astonishing demonic aura.

Moments later, the white tiger gave a mournful cry as it was sent flying back, crashing into the mountain gate.

True Word Venerable clutched her shoulder, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Red Demon Venerable was also forced back, his breath slightly chaotic.

Silvermoon Supreme mocked, "You think with a few more from the Divinity Transformation Realm you can contend with a Venerate?"

"Red Demon Venerable, you were once a Sage, don’t you know why within the Divinity Transformation Realm there exists a level of Great Venerate?"

Red Demon Venerable glared coldly at him, yet understood in his heart that they couldn’t stop Silvermoon Supreme.

In the Divinity Transformation Realm, the title of Great Venerate not only refers to the Heavenly Human Five Declines but also carries another implied meaning:

That is, a Great Venerate holds limitless potential.

Not all Great Venerates are the same; there’s a vast strength disparity between a newly initiated Great Venerate into the Heavenly Human Five Declines and an old Great Venerate who has remained there for hundreds, even eight hundred years.

The difference in divine skills, magic treasures, domains, techniques, and more is astronomical.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the gap between Great Venerates is no less than between the Heavenly Human Five Declines and the Four Declines.

Central Earth is especially known for the Young Emperor.

He is also a Great Venerate yet can slay Sages.

Other Great Venerates facing Sages, those who can preserve their lives are rare.

Silvermoon Supreme could surpass other Great Venerates in the Ancient Giant Wars, and was partially named fifth on the Merit Divine Stele.

This shows his extraordinary strength, far exceeding that of ordinary Great Venerates.

Silvermoon Supreme, with hands behind his back, looked down on them and said: "In entering or not entering this Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, it is not for you to decide!"

"Only I, Silvermoon Supreme, can say!"

With that, he turned to Moon Venerate: "Let’s go!"

"In Jiang Fan’s domain, I’ll take you in!"

He had willingly accompanied Moon Venerate here, and requesting Spirit Grass was just one aim; the more important intent was staking his claim!

To let Jiang Fan know, Moon Venerate is his woman!

Silvermoon Supreme took a mighty step forward, one foot crossing over the threshold of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s gate.

Just as he was about to step into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, a sword light imbued with powerful evil energy flashed from deep within the pavilion.

Silvermoon Supreme squinted, raising a finger to wave in front of him.

A circular moonlight barrier appeared before him.

Slash—

The barrier was split with a pitch-black fissure, and the black evil energy clung to the moon, continuing to corrode it.

Silvermoon Supreme showed surprise: "Such an evil Sword Qi!"

He flicked his fingers, dispersing the moon to prevent the evil energy from returning to his body with the moonlight.

At the same time, a cold voice, like rolling thunder, boomed over.

"Those who trespass into Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion shall die!"

In the next moment.

The space trembled, winds howled.

Before True Word Venerable, a silhouette with flowing black hair appeared, exuding an intimidating presence.

"Be careful, he’s much stronger than ordinary Great Venerates!" True Word Venerable cautioned.

Green Pearl flashed over, saying: "Husband, you all hold him off, I’ll deal with him!"

She took out the World Artifact, the Book of Life and Death.

Jiang Fan coldly stared at Silvermoon Supreme and said: "All of you stand down, I’m enough alone."

Silvermoon Supreme chuckled, "Such arrogance."

"But then why lower yourself and consume the Young Emperor’s Spiritual Medicine? What, is your dignity just a performance for outsiders?"

Seeing Jiang Fan’s cultivation of Heavenly Human Three Declines, he instinctively thought Jiang Fan had consumed the Spirit Grass to achieve such cultivation.

Moon Venerate cast a light glance at Jiang Fan.

In the rumors, wasn’t Jiang Fan portrayed as gallant, upright, preferring to die in battle than consume the Young Emperor’s Spirit Grass?

Yet secretly, he still consumed it.

Their journey here was essentially for naught.

Jiang Fan took out the Spirit Grass given by the Young Emperor and said:

"For my breakthrough, do I still need the Young Emperor’s charity?"

Hmm?

Silvermoon Supreme was astonished and asked, "You didn’t consume it? Then how did you break through?"

To break through the Heavenly Human Three Declines without the Heaven and Earth Great Pill or supreme medicine is impossible.

Jiang Fan retrieved the black Spirit Grass, glancing at the injuries of True Word Venerable, Green Pearl, and the white tiger, his eyes slowly growing colder:

"Does asking so many questions affect your impending death?"

He formed several intricate seal techniques with his palms, and within the Heavenly Abyss Heart, nine-colored Tribulation Thunder surged!
