Chapter 657 - 657 Could It Be An Immortal Technique?
657 Could It Be An Immortal Technique?
In the west of Country Xu, the sky had changed color, and clouds and thunder rumbled.
The earth cracked, and the ravines were thousands of feet deep. The mountains and rivers were overturned, and the earth was in a mess.
The mountain range, once full of life, had been destroyed. The yellow soil buried countless creatures, and the aura of death filled the battlefield.
“You have a lot of tricks, but in the face of absolute strength, everything is futile.”
The Heavenly Star Daoist stood high in the sky, and the violent aura that surrounded him was slowly calming down.
The battle-robed man stood opposite him, but his aura fluctuated high and low, and he was on the verge of collapse.
He looked at the Heavenly Star Daoist, angry and confused.
“Old geezer, you only want to go to the main world. Why do you have to make things difficult for us?”
Not long after he arrived in this world, the Heavenly Star Daoist found him and pursued him relentlessly.
It was as if his purpose from the beginning was to kill him. As for why, he simply couldn’t imagine it.
“Everything is arranged by fate. From the moment you appeared in this world, I felt the call of fate. You are the Antidote that will save the world as predicted in the prophecy,” The Heavenly Star Daoist said unhurriedly.
If Lin Qiye were here, he would be shocked.
It turned out that from the beginning to the end, the so-called ‘antidote’ in the prophecy was not him but the battle-robed man who had come to bring him back.
This was also why the Heavenly Star Daoist had long known Lin Qiye’s existence but had never paid much attention to him.
As for the reason he summoned Lin Qiye, it was because the demons had already appeared, and the Heavenly Star Daoist had yet to sense the existence of the ‘antidote.’ Therefore, he summoned Lin Qiye to take a look, hoping he would get lucky.
However, the Heavenly Star Daoist accidentally discovered the hidden power in Lin Qiye’s body during that summoning.
At that time, he knew Lin Qiye would produce a divine spark, so he had been secretly watching him through the world’s power.
Later, when Lin Qiye had successfully condensed a divine spark, the Heavenly Star Daoist had also sensed it, apart from the Demon King.
It was why he had been chasing the two of them relentlessly.
“A prophecy?”
The battle-robed man frowned. He knew that some powerful existences had the power to see the trajectory of fate.
A prophecy that could be confirmed by a powerhouse like the Heavenly Star Daoist must have a great influence.
As he thought of this, the battle-robed man realized it was impossible to talk things through with the Heavenly Star Daoist.
He hesitated for a moment and quickly made up his mind. He took out a golden liquid syringe mixed with red threads from his storage space.
It was the latest technology developed by Heavenly Court Island, which could transform life force to obtain powerful strength.
He had previously asked Lin Qiye to leave first and stayed behind to cover for him. He had taken a weaker version of the potion, which had fewer side effects.
However, whether it was the weakened or the strengthened version of the potion mixed with the strange red power, he had only obtained one of each from the higher-ups when he took on this mission.
“I didn’t expect someone from a second-class world to force me to this point. It seems that Mistress’s intuition is as sharp as ever.”
The man in the battle robe laughed at himself as he inserted the syringe into his arm to complete the injection.
The Heavenly Star Daoist stood in the distance, his eyes burning as he looked at the empty shell of the syringe in the man’s hand.
“Is that the treasure you used to recover your strength?”
He could sense that the energy in the syringe was similar to the golden liquid that had leaked out from the corner of the battle-robed man’s mouth.
“Recover my strength? Ha, this is a deadly weapon that the whole of Heavenly Court Island had spent countless resources to develop. If you retreat now, there’s still time. Otherwise, we’ll all die together!”
The Heavenly Star Daoist looked at the battle-robed man’s determined expression and felt the powerful energy fluctuations on his body rapidly expanding and gradually falling into chaos.
He realized that the man wasn’t trying to scare him but was really risking his life.
However, this was not enough to make the Heavenly Star Daoist give up.
“Die together? I’d like to see if you could do that!”
The two sides crashed again, and with one blow, the Heavenly Star Daoist was sent flying on the spot.
On the other hand, the battle-robed man’s figure only paused for a moment before he sped up again, chasing after the Heavenly Star Daoist.
During the process, his aura was still rising, completely suppressing the Heavenly Star Daoist’s aura.
The Heavenly Star Daoist’s expression finally turned grim as he faced the battle-robed man with an imposing aura.
He took a deep breath to stabilize his retreat and put away the long sword in his hand. Then, he put his palms together and condensed a ball of energy as beautiful as the starry sky. It suddenly collided with the incoming spear.
Boom!
The two attacks collided, instantly creating a violent explosion.
The space within a radius of several thousand miles trembled continuously.
The center of the explosion fell into chaos, and all the matter around it was annihilated into dust.
The two were at the center of the battle. They relied on the isolation of their powerful forces to resist the damage caused by the explosion, but the damage to their energy was obvious.
The Heavenly Star Daoist’s aura declined rapidly, and his power was reduced by 30%.
Even with the world power constantly replenishing him, the speed of consumption was too rapid, and the two could not maintain a balance.
Looking at the battle-robed man again, his life force was constantly weakening under the stimulation of medicinal power, but his combat strength continued to rise.
