Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 904: Chapter 899: Quickly Go to the Stain Sect and Invite the Immortal Monarch of Tribulation!

For the next seven consecutive days, Primordial Origin Great Saint and Profound Turtle Great Saint were inseparable. The two discussed the Dao daily and even refined a few Arrays together.

As time passed, Profound Turtle Great Saint gradually lost his patience.

”Daoist, you are far too cowardly.”

Finally, one day, Profound Turtle Great Saint could no longer hold back. He openly rebuked Primordial Origin Great Saint to his face, ”No wonder you only proved an Outer Dao back then!”

His words clearly revealed his prejudice against the Outer Dao.

Hearing this, Primordial Origin Great Saint’s eyes flashed, and he replied aggrievedly, ”What’s wrong with the Outer Dao? A good Outer Dao is no worse than orthodoxy! You’ve gone too far, Daoist!”

”Too far? I can go even further!”

Upon hearing this, Profound Turtle Great Saint felt an unexplainable fire well up inside him. He sneered, ”Once an Outer Dao, you’ll be an Outer Dao for the rest of your life!

”Forget it. I can’t be bothered to talk to you anymore. You don’t deserve to listen!”

After saying these few sentences, Profound Turtle Great Saint felt all his usually suppressed thoughts vent out at once. It was truly satisfying, making him feel completely refreshed and comfortable.

At the same time, Minor Metal, who was wearing the skin of Primordial Origin Great Saint, also smiled. He thought, ”It wasn’t a waste for me to use Free Heaven to secretly influence this Demon for the past seven days, and then use Five Poison Heart to catalyze it. Today, I’ve finally pried open a gap in his state of mind. After all, he’s just an Overseas Demon Cultivator with little ability...”

The next second, he began to accumulate Mana.

His True Demon Body occupied Primordial Origin Great Saint’s Spiritual Space, frantically squeezing out the Spiritual perception within. After mustering all his Spiritual Essence, he rode a gust of sinister wind and drifted out.

BOOM!

In an instant, Profound Turtle Great Saint felt a thunderous explosion echo in his Spiritual Space, followed by a chilling sensation welling up in his glabella’s Purple Mansion.

”Not good!” he thought.

Alarmed, Profound Turtle Great Saint immediately discarded his human form, revealing his towering true body of a Profound Turtle. His boundless vitality and Spiritual perception completely boiled over at this moment.

Almost simultaneously, Minor Metal felt his body burn up as if he had rolled through flowing fire. His originally formless and intangible True Demon Body was forced to reveal itself, even emitting black smoke. Although he wasn’t injured, this was clearly some sort of Abilities method designed to counter him!

”...I really can’t underestimate the people of this world.”

Minor Metal took a step back, frowning slightly. ”This fire of vitality can illuminate my figure. If I’m burned by it for too long, it might actually hurt me.

”With this fire protecting this Demon’s Spiritual Space, I can’t use Inverted Sumeru.”

On the other side, seeing that his activated Spiritual Fire had taken effect, Profound Turtle Great Saint breathed a huge sigh of relief before gritting his teeth. ”To think Yuan Xu has already been Killed!

”This True Demon actually came Overseas to cause trouble!”

He thought, ”Are our Demon Race soft persimmons to be easily pushed around?

”Uh, it seems we actually are.

”Fortunately, we also had our guard up against True Demons. Through painstaking research recently, we created this Heart Fire Reflected God Technique. Otherwise, this situation would spell disaster!”

Thinking of this, Profound Turtle Great Saint accumulated and activated his Spiritual Fire to protect his Soul while sternly shouting at Minor Metal, ”Daoist, we can let the matter of Yuan Xu slide. You have already been exposed. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to escape once all the Great Saints of our Four Seas Sect arrive!”

”Leave?”

Minor Metal laughed loudly upon hearing this, reciting his lines according to Lü Yang’s instructions. ”Unless it’s the Thunder Skill of the Profound Spirit Realm’s Righteous Qi Dao, there is no Daoist Skill in this world that can subdue me.

”Do you think I’d be afraid of you?”

After speaking, Minor Metal once again turned into a formless, sinister wind and howled around Profound Turtle Great Saint’s Spiritual Space, intending to extinguish the Spiritual Fire bit by bit.

Seeing this, Profound Turtle Great Saint’s expression remained unchanged, but he was extremely anxious inside. This was because the Heart Fire Reflected God Technique required him to continuously burn up his vitality. Although with his true body’s massive bulk, his vitality was like a vast sea allowing him to hold on for a long time, there would eventually come a day when it would be exhausted. Who knew if he could outlast his opponent?

At this moment, two streaks of Spirit Light fell from Heaven. It was none other than Bright Pearl Great Saint and Old Dragon Monarch. However, the former arrived with her true body, while the latter was merely a Mana avatar.

”Save me!”

Profound Turtle Great Saint couldn’t care less and immediately split off a streak of Spiritual Fire to burn a path through the sinister wind laid down by Minor Metal, transmitting his voice outside.

The price was that by splitting off Spiritual Fire to protect his Spiritual perception and transmit his voice, he naturally had less Spiritual Fire protecting himself. Minor Metal immediately took advantage of this vulnerability, filling the gap with his sinister wind. This further compressed the active area of Profound Turtle Great Saint’s Spiritual Space, making his situation even more precarious.

Outside, Bright Pearl Great Saint also revealed a horrified expression.

”This is... a True Demon!?

”Yuan Xu is already dead, and now Profound Turtle... Why would that True Demon come Overseas to attack? Old Dragon Monarch, do you have a way to drive him away?”

Old Dragon Monarch was speechless.

He glanced at the Primordial Origin Great Saint on the ground, who resembled a piece of dead wood, and then at the struggling, pained Profound Turtle Great Saint, before nodding. ”He’s beyond saving. Just wait for death.

”Farewell!”

Before his voice had even faded, Old Dragon Monarch unhesitatingly dispersed his Mana avatar. Following that, every True Dragon within the entire Four Seas Sect was whisked away by a streak of Splendid Light.

Old Dragon Monarch had packed up and run away!

Not only did he run, but he also took the True Dragon Race with him. His actions were so swift and his decision so resolute that Bright Pearl Great Saint didn’t even have time to react!

At the same time, Minor Metal, who had been treating him like a formidable enemy, was also stunned. Truth be told, he didn’t actually think Old Dragon Monarch had no way of dealing with him and was fully prepared for a bitter fight. He never expected Old Dragon Monarch to just pack his bags and flee without even intending to exchange a few words with him!

”Isn’t that way too cowardly?” he thought.

That being said, Minor Metal wouldn’t let such a prime opportunity slip by. He immediately loosened his grip on Profound Turtle Great Saint’s Spiritual Space, allowing him to witness Old Dragon Monarch’s escape.

”AH!!!”

In an instant, Profound Turtle Great Saint’s roar of immense grief and indignation echoed throughout his Spiritual Space. Soon after, Minor Metal felt the surrounding temperature begin to rise.

”Hmm?”

Minor Metal paused for a moment and soon seemed to realize something. However, before he could make another move, Profound Turtle Great Saint’s towering Demon body exploded with a resounding crash!

RUMBLE!

The sky-piercing bloody light almost dyed more than half of the Overseas region crimson. All of this was manifested from Profound Turtle Great Saint’s vitality, showing just how massive his true body was.

And this massive amount of vitality was entirely converted into Spiritual Fire the moment he self-destructed. The boiling waves of fire directly swallowed Minor Metal. Faced with this nearly suicidal tactic, Minor Metal’s True Demon Body couldn’t withstand it either. In the blink of an eye, he evaporated into flying ash beneath the fiery waves.

However, that was all it amounted to.

Soon, a Heart Demon that Minor Metal had left outside the Four Seas Sect awakened, and his true consciousness returned. Although his Qi trace was greatly damaged, he did not die.

Looking back at the Four Seas Sect, a hint of wariness surfaced in his eyes. ”It seems the Demon Race isn’t entirely without its merits...”

Whether it was the Heart Fire Reflected God Technique or his decisive self-destruction at the end, it all snuffed out Minor Metal’s original intention of swallowing Profound Turtle Great Saint, allowing him to regain his composure.

He thought, ”The Mid-phase and Early Stage truly form an insurmountable chasm.”

Currently, he was at the Early Stage of True Demon. Relying on his bizarre methods and the lack of an obviously effective countermeasure against him, he was able to cause headaches even for someone at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

But that was the extent of it.

”Oh well,” he thought. ”Taking Profound Turtle Great Saint’s life should be enough to awe the Overseas region, complete the Immortal Monarch’s instructions, and help the Perfected Lord push for the Late Stage of Golden Core.”

Thinking of this, Minor Metal withdrew his gaze.

With his True Demon Body severely damaged, he needed to first digest the Soul he swallowed from Primordial Origin Great Saint in order to recover. He was no longer fit for further Combat. ℴ

On the other side, not long after Profound Turtle Great Saint self-destructed, a newborn Demon Race member within the Overseas Profound Turtle Race immediately opened its eyes. His Soul reincarnated and instantly returned to its position as the Fruit of Thunderbolt Fire. Under the enhancement of rolling Mana, he continuously expanded, transforming back into the appearance of Profound Turtle Great Saint.

Seeing this, Bright Pearl Great Saint hurried over. ”Daoist, that True Demon...”

”He’s not dead,” Profound Turtle Great Saint said, his face ugly. ”The True Demon could make a comeback at any moment, and that Old Loach is unreliable... We need to find another way.”

Bright Pearl Great Saint didn’t find any issue with his words. Old Dragon Monarch’s decisive flight, completely disregarding their past ties, had indeed greatly disappointed her. ”But who should we seek refuge with?”

Profound Turtle Great Saint remained silent for a long time before sighing. ”I heard that True Demon say that only the Immortal Monarch of Tribulation of the Profound Spirit Realm can subdue him.

”This statement shouldn’t be wrong. After all, the Heart Demon was born because of him.

”And judging from the recent rumors, that Immortal Monarch of Tribulation should be the Saint Sect True Monarch reincarnated Beyond the Heavens, having only now successfully cultivated and returned.”

Bright Pearl Great Saint nodded slightly upon hearing this. ”In that case, let’s go to the Stain Sect.”

Both Great Saints were decisive figures. Now that they had made a decision, they naturally wouldn’t delay. They immediately rode their Flying Light and sped toward the North.

After they left, in a remote place Overseas, a pair of eyes finally opened from the mud on the seabed. Looking at the retreating backs of the two Great Saints, they revealed deep wariness.

He thought, ”...Everything should be fine now, right?

”Why would the True Demon Minor Metal mess around Overseas for no reason? It must be an order from the mastermind behind the scenes. They have set their sights on my two old friends.

”Is it that Immortal Monarch of Tribulation, or Fei Xue?

”Do they want them to attach themselves to a Grotto Heaven and rely on them to break through to Great Perfected Lord?

”Forget it... No matter who it is, I can’t afford to provoke them. It’s better to hide far away. Furthermore, the Tribulation was born because of the Heart Demon, and the karmic links are far too heavy...”

Old Dragon Monarch closed his eyes and continued to burrow deep into the seabed.

Only by doing this could he feel a sliver of warmth in this cold Broken Place known as the Immortal Pivot, because this was when he was closest to the Ancestral Dragon Lineage.

He thought, ”The Ancestral Dragon Lineage, the Immortal Core Dao Furnace.

”That Nascent Soul Pill from back then... Where on earth is it?”
