My Master Knows It All

1329: Chapter 322_6 1329: Chapter 322_6 “If you had fought me fairly, perhaps you might have had a chance to resist, but you tried to take shortcuts and escape…

that will only lead you straight into my trap!”

The Huan Tian Demon had not expected that Jiu Yin, who seemed the easiest target for a breakthrough among the four, would so easily shatter her divine skills.

Now, with the situation as it is, there was no possibility for her to escape.

The only option left to her was self-destruction!

As for the Square Cauldron, well, it’s gone now.

If she doesn’t self-destruct, they would all probably die.

If she does, perhaps some of her fellow disciples from the Heaven Prayers Sect might escape.

But after they escape…

The Huan Tian Demon sighed inwardly; even if some managed to escape, they would probably not be able to survive for long.

Although many disciples of the Heaven Prayers Sect had entered this relic, she and Ze Tian were the strongest.

If both she and Ze Tian died, the remaining disciples would probably not be able to obtain many treasures.

And with her death, how else could the Heaven Prayers Sect invite others?

This Sect Tribulation, it looked like the Heaven Prayers Sect was truly doomed to failure.

In fact, she had long since felt that they would fail the Sect Tribulation.

The Heaven Prayers Sect was too weak; even if they invited ten experts at the Golden Core Period Limit and obtained a vast amount of treasures from this relic, like the Five Sounds Sect previously did in the Musical Rhythm relic, it still wasn’t certain that they could survive the Sect Tribulation!

However, she had never spoken these thoughts out loud.

To say them would only shake the faith of the Heaven Prayers Sect’s disciples.

In truth, she had even considered giving up resisting the Sect Tribulation before it arrived.

When the Sect Tribulation hits, all disciples of a Great Teaching have to face it.

Even if they leave the Great Teaching, once the Tribulation comes, no matter where you are, even at the ends of the earth, you will still be attacked by the Tribulation.

But those who have joined a Great Teaching for less than a thousand years can leave it and will not be attacked by the Tribulation.

Many of the disciples in the Heaven Prayers Sect have been members for less than a thousand years.

In fact, most of the disciples have not been with the sect for a thousand years.

They could actually give up on the Heavenly Tribulation and have all the disciples take the resources and leave the Heaven Prayers Sect.

But if they did that, the elders of the Heaven Prayers Sect would be in peril.

Those predecessors were beings above the Earth Immortal Realm.

Except for one elder, their resting burial mounds were also built within the Heaven Prayers Sect.

If they chose to flee, they could not ignore the status of those predecessors.

However, once burial mounds are established, they should not be moved.

Even if the move is done carefully and preparations are made perfectly, it could still affect the predecessors.

At that time, at the very least, the foundations of the predecessors would be damaged, or worse, they could directly perish.

Even if they managed to move the burial mounds of the predecessors and those predecessors were not dead, when they awaken, instead of advancing further, because of the damage to their foundations, they would not even be able to reach the strength they had before their slumber.

Furthermore, in the years whilst they were away from the Great Teaching, they must find a place to barely survive.

After all, if others knew they were from the Heaven Prayers Sect, knowing that they carried the resources of a Great Teaching and that they now lacked the protection of a sect’s gates, how could others let them be?

Even if they were lucky and survived the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, once the Earth Immortals awoke, due to the damage to their predecessors’ foundations, they would not be able to withstand attacks from others.

By then, they would inevitably be doomed to destruction.

Moreover, during this period, all the major sects would be paying attention to the Heaven Prayers Sect.

Others could guess that they might give up on the Sect Tribulation.

Even if they tried to flee, they would be discovered, and might not even be able to escape at all, or they might be easily killed while their forces were scattered and have their resources stolen.

In fact, giving up on the Sect Tribulation is almost like a path to death.

Besides, those who have been part of the Great Teaching for over a thousand years would not agree to simply give up on the Sect Tribulation.

That’s why she didn’t bring up her idea.

After all, giving up on the Sect Tribulation and getting through it were both gambles; it was better to take a chance on overcoming the Tribulation.

But now, she realized that the Heaven Prayers Sect probably had no capital to wager on getting through the Sect Tribulation.

If only the Heaven Prayers Sect hadn’t made that wrong decision in the past, without suffering that heavy blow, facing the Sect Tribulation wouldn’t be so difficult now.

The Huan Tian Demon let out a sigh.

The energy within her surged manically into the ten phantom Golden Cores behind her.

The next moment, an explosion sounded as if it were tearing the entire void apart, followed by boundless and majestic power sweeping around, shaking the heavens and the earth, causing the void to tremble!

Jiu Yin had already retreated as fast as she could, swiftly conjuring mana in front of her, gathering it to form a massive ice coffin to protect herself within.

But, the power of the Golden Core Self-destruction quickly shattered the ice coffin, and the unmatched force struck her, sending her flying.

In flight, Jiu Yin spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

This was the most troublesome part of the Golden Core Stage; even at the Golden Core Period Limit, those less powerful could severely injure or even perish together with you through self-destruction!

While Cao Zhen, being close to the Golden Core Period Limit, was not injured, Jiu Yin was hurt badly enough to cough up blood.

In the area Jiu Yin was responsible for, disciples of the Heaven Prayers Sect perished due to the Huan Tian Demon’s self-destruction, yet still two people, due to their distance, survived the blast.

They saw the injured Jiu Yin and rapidly flew towards the distance.

They lacked the strength to care for others or for Huan Tian Demon who had self-destructed; that they could escape was already the best possible outcome.

Jiu Yin, intending to pursue the fleeing two, felt her blood churn again, slowing her actions, allowing them to fly away.

The remaining disciples of the Heaven Prayers Sect, seeing that the strongest among them, Ze Tian and Huan Tian Demon, had both perished, realized continuing the battle would only lead to their slaughter.

They began to self-destruct, one by one.

Yet, even with their self-destruction, they failed to harm Cao Zhen and the other two.

And as their numbers dwindled, they didn’t even have a chance to self-destruct before being slain by the trio.

In the end, only two managed to escape.

Meanwhile, Xiang Ziyu turned his attention towards the Square Cauldron left behind by Huan Tian Demon.
