Wutan's face darkened. This was no joke. Even he himself was not sure that he could escape safely from the sneak attack of two peerless beginner-level warriors.
However, even the might of heaven cannot restrain the two, so what can he do
"No, we must not let them leave."
With a flash in his eyes, Wutan decisively opened his third eye and wanted to capture the three masters and take them into the starry world. At this time, he no longer cared about whether they depended on him or not.
"You bully my Shura Palace, slaughter my disciples, and you still want to leave? Are you too naive? Dingkongzhu, Ding!"
Just as Wujitian's third eye opened, a majestic voice suddenly rang out between heaven and earth. Immediately afterwards, a bright full moon descended from the sky, with rays of light hanging down. The fading figures of the two masters of the three divisions suddenly came to a sudden stop!
The sudden change not only shocked the three masters, but also confused Wutan. He felt that the full moon that suddenly appeared was very familiar, as if he had seen it before, but he couldn't remember where it was for a moment.
However, he was extremely familiar with this voice; it was none other than Shishi’s father—the Great Venerable!
Sure enough, just when Wutan closed his third eye, a great master in black appeared out of thin air in the void outside the heavenly might.
"Go and overcome the tribulation with peace of mind. Leave this to me." The great master smiled slightly.
"Okay." Without any hesitation or question, Wutan leaped up into the sky with a blazing thunder.
"Click..."
Just at this moment, the ninth wave of heavenly tribulation arrived. The power of this wave was the sum of the previous eight waves. Even Wutan felt unprecedented pressure, but he was more filled with joy in his heart. As long as he could survive this wave of heavenly tribulation, his physical strength and defense would both reach the level of half-step unparalleled!
"boom!"
The dense power of the heavenly calamity shattered the void and fell madly on Wutan. Even his body, which was comparable to that of a top-level imperial soldier, was torn into pieces and bleeding!
“Quenching!”
Wu Tian remained calm, and he practiced the Heavenly Thunder Body Training Technique to its extreme, taking all the power of the heavenly tribulation into his body. While suffering unspeakable torture, he frantically tempered his body!
Looking up at the young man who was within the power of the heavenly tribulation, the Great Venerable's eyes were full of admiration, and at the same time he was deeply moved. The original agreement of five hundred years had only been halfway through, and his achievements had far surpassed those of the previous hall master.
"You didn't let me down."
The Great Venerable smiled slightly, thinking that in order to protect Wutan, he had to bear enormous pressure and tried his best to deal with several ancestors. Fortunately, Wutan used his talent and actions to prove that his choices were correct.
This time, Wutan arrived at the critical moment and rescued Shura Palace from danger, which not only made him very pleased, but also left several ancestors speechless. They finally acknowledged Wutan's status in Shura Palace.
In other words, the matter of Wutan wiping out the soul of the previous palace master has truly disappeared into thin air.
Retracting his gaze, the Great Venerable looked at the three masters, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, like two divine weapons, piercing the bodies and minds of the two, and said lightly: "The hero monument of Shura Palace will be sacrificed with your blood."
As soon as he finished speaking, without seeing the Great Venerable making any move, the Third Chief and the Fourth Chief screamed like pigs being slaughtered at the same time. Then, two bloody holes appeared in their lower abdomen out of thin air, and blood gushed out!
Then, the two men seemed to be tied up, cutting through the air and shooting towards the Great Venerable.
The Great Venerable was so powerful that he easily crippled two powerful men with unparalleled initial stage cultivation. Such a terrifying method not only shocked the three masters, but even Wu Tian, who was in the sky, was shocked.
"How can it be?"
Suddenly, the Third Lord cried out in surprise. He clearly felt that his soul was still there. But when he wanted to drive his soul out of his body, he was horrified to find that his soul seemed to be trapped in the broken sea of qi and could not move at all!
The Fourth Chief's expression also became extremely gloomy. Apparently, the same scene was happening to him as well.
Staring at the Great Venerable in disbelief for a moment, the Third Lord sighed deeply and said in a pleading tone, "It has only been a million years since we left Qinglongzhou. I didn't expect that a peerless hero like you would appear. We underestimated the strength of Shura Palace. Please give us a clean ending!"
"Your only ending is a blood sacrifice at the Heroes Monument, because only in this way can the tens of thousands of souls who died in the battle of Shura Palace rest in peace." The Great Venerable said lightly, revealing his domineering aura. Then he ignored the two of them and stared at the figure in the sky without blinking.
“Finally a breakthrough.”
After a hundred breaths, accompanied by a whisper, Wutan suddenly stood up. His tremendous power spread in all directions, and the void for thousands of miles collapsed. It was terrifying!
"With the strength and defense of a person who is half a step away from being unparalleled, it would be a piece of cake to crush the imperial soldiers. I just don't know if I can fight head-on with a strong person who is at the initial stage of being unparalleled."
Wutan muttered, restraining his strength, and then waved his hand, as if containing supreme power. The dark clouds in the sky all dissipated, and the bright sunshine spread down, dispelling the haze in the world.
“Swish!”
He took a step forward and landed beside the Great Venerable. He glanced at the three chiefs and then looked at the full moon in the sky. His eyes were full of brilliance and he asked in confusion, "Great Venerable, what kind of treasure is this? How can it have such divine power?"
"Do you want it very much?" The Great Venerable looked at him with a smile.
"Ahem!" Wu Tian's face turned red, he coughed dryly, and said with a wry smile: "How dare I covet the treasure of the Great Venerable?"
"Let's go! I'll explain it to you slowly on the way." The Great Venerable shook his head and waved his hand. The full moon quickly shrank and turned into a divine rainbow, which swept into his body. Then, with a call, he picked up the three masters and flew towards the Shura Palace.
On the way, the great master recounted the origin of the Dingkong Pearl in detail.
It turns out that the Dingkong Pearl is a five-tribulation holy weapon and a personal treasure of the first master of the Shura Palace.
Hearing this, Wu Tian was really shocked. In his memory, there was no information about the fifth-level holy weapon! He had never heard of anyone in the five continents possessing the five-tribulation holy weapon.
This forced him to re-evaluate the strength of Shura Palace.
However, it is a pity that this Dingkongzhu, which is a Five Tribulations Holy Weapon, does not have any attack power, but it has an extremely terrifying power, which is to freeze the space!
Freezing the space is like stopping time, creating a world of its own. Unless one possesses absolute power, once trapped, there is no hope of breaking free and regaining freedom.
In other words, you are destined to be slaughtered.
Moreover, Wutan's initial doubts were also confirmed. According to the Great Venerable, the Dingkong Pearl was the full moon hanging high in the sky above the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts. No wonder he felt the Dingkong Pearl was very familiar when he saw it for the first time.
“If it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don’t force it.” Wutan shook his head and sighed, comforting himself.
However, the regret in his heart was out of control. When the man and the beast first entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, the little guy said that the white object that illuminated the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts was most likely an extraordinary treasure. Wutan didn't care at all at that time. Unexpectedly, the little guy's words really came true. This is a rare treasure!
If he had listened to the little guy from the beginning, he would definitely have imprisoned the Dingkong Pearl directly into the Starry Realm. Wouldn't he have another precious treasure by his side now
The Great Venerable had seen countless people in his life, so how could he not see the little thoughts in Wu Tian's heart? He smiled slightly, offered a condition, and tempted: "If you take over the position of the chief hall master, I will give you the Dingkong Pearl."
"Uh!" Wu Tian was stunned, then immediately shook his head and said with a pursed mouth: "Then you should keep it for yourself!"
What a joke! More than a hundred years ago, he managed the affairs of Shura Palace on behalf of the Great Venerable for only a few hours, and he had to throw the mess directly to Ye Yi and escape in disgrace. If he became the chief palace master again, wouldn’t he be annoyed to death
He is too lazy to deal with such troublesome things. It is so free and comfortable to go out on his own!
The Great Venerable shook his head and laughed. He was not too disappointed with the result, because before he opened his mouth, he had already expected that Wutan would have this attitude.
Unknowingly, the two had entered the land of nothingness, and the huge outline of Shura Palace gradually came into view.
More than tens of thousands of people from the three major sects died in this battle. Their remains have been collected by the survivors in preparation for their burial.
A layer of fresh soil appeared on the battlefield, covering the ground that was originally stained with blood. However, it could not cover up the strong smell of blood and the sadness that remained between heaven and earth.
"Alas! When will the war in Samsara Continent stop and when will there be true peace?"
Many of those who died in this battle could have potentially become the future pillars of Shura Palace, but in the end they died tragically in this war. The Great Venerable lamented endlessly, with an indelible sorrow between his brows.
Suddenly, the Great Venerable turned his head, glanced at Wu Tian, and said, "Wutian, do you know what my biggest ambition is?"
Wu Tian did not answer.
Turning his head, the Great Venerable gazed into the distance and sighed, "Today I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart! I have put a lot of effort into pushing the Shura Palace to the stage of the five continents. In fact, it is not to satisfy my own desires, but to unify all the forces in the five continents, so that everyone will stop killing and live in peace."
Upon hearing this, Wutan was shocked. He did not expect that under the strong appearance of the Great Venerable, there was such a compassionate heart. He could not help but take a serious look at the man in front of him who was shrouded in a mysterious veil for the first time.
Wutan did not see even a hint of falsehood on his face.
After a long while, Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Where there are people, there are desires. Where there are desires, there must be killing. Your ambition is difficult to achieve."
"So, I am still working hard." The Great Venerable smiled slightly.
Not long after, Wutan and the other person arrived at the Shura Palace. With their divine thoughts, there was no one left in the Shura Palace. All of them gathered in Luofu Square.
“Swish!”
The next moment, both of them appeared in the air above the square.
