Chapter 2211: Chapter 2211: Death Lotus [Third Update]
In the face of Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s promise, Black River Heavenly Monarch’s expression became serious.
However, he did not hesitate for too long.
Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s favor was indeed precious, but he still couldn’t agree to spare Jing Yan. He desperately needed the Netherworld Heart in Jing Yan’s possession.
Black River Heavenly Monarch was a cultivator with great opportunities. Integrating the Outer Heaven Black River was an opportunity that countless cultivators dreamed of. However, after he fused with the Outer Heaven Black River, his realm remained stuck in the Immortal Rhythm Level. He tried many methods but couldn’t further break through.
More than a billion years ago, he accidentally obtained a Netherworld Heart that had been used before and still contained some residual energy. After absorbing it, he found that his realm actually improved. Although the improvement was not significant, it was an advancement. He couldn’t even remember how many years he had stagnated without any progress in his realm.
The Netherworld Heart gave him hope.
Since then, he frantically searched for information about the Netherworld Heart, but such an object was not easy to find. The Yellow Spring Cave opens once every hundred million years, and the Netherworld Map only appears once in several openings of the Yellow Spring Cave, meaning it takes several billion years for the Netherworld Map to come into existence. Moreover, even cultivators entering the Netherworld Map are not guaranteed to obtain a Netherworld Heart. Besides, even if they do, how could they refrain from using it for billions of years?
Black River Heavenly Monarch couldn’t find more Netherworld Hearts.
Later, he paid a huge price to purchase information about a Netherworld Heart. The main content of this information was that in this opening of the Yellow Spring Cave, the likelihood of the Netherworld Map appearing was over seventy percent. Inside the Netherworld Map, it was possible to obtain a Netherworld Heart.
Because of this, Black River Heavenly Monarch came without hesitation, forcibly seizing a quota to enter the High Level Cave from Yuantong Immortal Venerable and the Four Great Forces.
Expecting the Netherworld Map to last for one or two decades, he hoped to gain at least two or three Netherworld Crystal Stones from it. Unexpectedly, this time the Netherworld Map only existed for five years, and he only obtained one Netherworld Heart. One Netherworld Heart was not enough for him to advance to the Immortal Venerable Level; he needed more.
To Black River Heavenly Monarch, taking the Netherworld Heart from Jing Yan could further his path and push him into the Immortal Venerate Realm. By then, with the cultivation of an Immortal Venerate Realm and his Black River incarnation, his combat power would be formidable enough to make even the Immortal Emperor have difficulty killing him.
How could Black River Heavenly Monarch not kill this young man who obstructed his path?
“Yuantong Immortal Venerable, my apologies, I cannot agree with you.” Black River Heavenly Monarch shook his head and refused Yuantong Immortal Venerable.
This time, however, his tone lacked its previous arrogance.
Ending the communication with Black River Heavenly Monarch, Yuantong Immortal Venerable was silent. He tried his best, yet he still couldn’t save Jing Yan.
Clan Chief Xin Si and others could no longer say anything; they had all seen and heard the conversation between Yuantong Immortal Venerable and Black River Heavenly Monarch. That Black River Heavenly Monarch was determined to kill Jing Yan.
“Youngster, elsewhere, I might spare you as a favor to Yuantong Immortal Venerable, but not here! The Netherworld Heart must be mine.” Black River Heavenly Monarch’s aura condensed, staring at Jing Yan from miles away, his low voice echoed as he transformed into the Black River, instantly surrounding Jing Yan.
“Blocking that last strike doesn’t mean you can survive against me. Youngster, prepare yourself!” Black River Heavenly Monarch’s voice came from all directions.
Jing Yan did not dare let his guard down for an instant, vigilantly watching his surroundings, circulating his Divine Power to the limit, his Divine Soul Power fully spread out.
A chilling, oppressive, despair-inducing deathly aura swept over overwhelmingly.
Jing Yan’s eyes sharpened as he saw a black lotus emerge from the black mist.
If the previous black mist was likened to a boulder, then this black lotus was a mountain.
Before the black lotus approached, Jing Yan gritted his teeth, his gaze firmly fixed on it. This lotus brought an extremely deep and terrifying sense of crisis.
“Death Lotus!”
“That’s Black River Heavenly Monarch’s Death Lotus!”
“To kill Jing Yan, Black River Heavenly Monarch actually used the Death Lotus?”
Xin Ruikun and others, seeing the black lotus amidst the mist, did not dare blink. In fact, none present, including Xin Ruikun, had ever witnessed Black River Heavenly Monarch’s Death Lotus; they had only heard of it in legends.
Legend says, the Death Lotus is Black River Heavenly Monarch’s ultimate weapon, the Immortal Venerable it killed died beneath it.
Black River Heavenly Monarch had lived countless years, with many methods. Yet among these, his most feared and rarely used was the Death Lotus, second only to the Dark Heavenly Wheel. It’s said Black River Heavenly Monarch rarely uses the Death Lotus; few have seen the Death Heavenly Monarch wield it over the long ages.
Inside the Yellow Spring Cave, Xin Ruikun, Ke Zun, and others stared, while outside, War God Li Feng, Gong Zhi Buddha, and Xin Si wore similar expressions.
Even cultivators at War God Li Feng’s level felt a dry mouth when seeing the Death Lotus, and that was merely through law-based visual representations without feeling its aura directly.
Too terrifying!
Such a method should only belong to an Immortal Venerable!
“Truly insane!” Yuantong Immortal Venerable waved his sleeve fiercely.
“Immortal Venerable?” Clan Chief Xin Si turned with difficulty to look at Yuantong Immortal Venerable.
“This Black River Heavenly Monarch is crazy to use the Death Lotus just to kill Jing Yan. Hmph, using this technique takes a great toll on himself. I heard that the few times he’s wielded the Death Lotus against opponents, they were all of the Immortal Venerable Level.” Yuantong Immortal Venerable’s deep voice echoed.
“Hiss…” The sound of gasping arose around.
…
“Youngster, the power of this Death Lotus was meant to deal with Immortal Venerables. Hehe, have you heard I once killed a mighty Immortal Venerable? I can tell you, I did kill an Immortal Venerable, though only newly ascended, but an Immortal Venerable nonetheless. That one died under the Death Lotus.” Black River Heavenly Monarch’s continued voice reached Jing Yan’s ears.
After his first attack failed to harm Jing Yan, Black River Heavenly Monarch realized that ordinary methods would be difficult to use against him; he noticed Jing Yan’s physical body was extremely formidable. So, his second strike directly employed the rarely used Death Lotus as the attack method.
Jing Yan’s face gradually paled, feeling the pressure intensifying.
The black lotus moved not quickly, yet Jing Yan found nowhere to hide.
