My Master Knows It All

”That’s right, it’s the power of a Saint, a magnificent existence unknown to all of you,” said Hall Master Guang Yao. But realizing he might have said too much, he abruptly stopped speaking and retreated while slashing in the void towards Cao Zhen’s direction.

Cao Zhen thought to himself, what a pity, just at the critical moment, Hall Master Guang Yao stopped talking. However, he should be able to deduce that this power of faith comes from their Eternal Assembly. Perhaps this faith power is drawn from the traitors within the Eternal Assembly.

Facing the sword before him, Cao Zhen thrust his sharp sword out at the same time. In the void, flames, thunder, a world, and even the Age of Prosperity Qi surged forth, bombarding towards Hall Master Guang Yao, leaving only the defenses of the Great Wall Immortal Palace undisturbed.

Clearly, Hall Master Guang Yao, who possessed seven Immortal Palaces, appeared to be the one with the upper hand in the battle. However, it seemed as if Cao Zhen, with only seven palaces, was actually the one relentlessly attacking and suppressing Hall Master Guang Yao.

Hall Master Guang Yao’s alarm grew with each passing moment as Cao Zhen’s power proved overwhelming. He felt that even if his two remaining Immortal Palaces, full of anomalies, were activated, he might still not be able to overcome Cao Zhen.

In the True Immortal Realm, the influence of the Immortal Mountain was not as crucial as the strength of the Immortal Palace.

The problem was that Cao Zhen’s Immortal Mountain was terrifyingly potent.

Moreover, Hall Master Guang Yao couldn’t understand how Cao Zhen, with only five Immortal Palaces, appeared unaffected by any depletion, while his own immortal energy was being severely depleted. More distressing was the continuous consumption of his power of faith.

Above his head, the speed at which the square cauldron rotated slowed down until it finally halted, then abruptly sank into his body.

Instantly, Hall Master Guang Yao seemed as if his spine had been extracted, his entire body slumping slightly, and the energy he emanated diminished greatly.

Cao Zhen sensed that the power of faith from the square cauldron bore some resemblance to the Age of Prosperity Qi, yet there were differences.

Both could enhance a cultivator’s power, but the power of faith functioned more like formation maps that provided a supplementary boost. However, these boosts were limited and would cease once depleted.

The Age of Prosperity Power, in contrast, grew stronger as prosperity increased, making oneself stronger!

Moreover, the Era Prosperity Power was almost inexhaustible, with its reservoir seemingly endless unless one exerted full force to manifest the Prosperous Age Picture Record.

Previously, Hall Master Guang Yao relied on the enhanced power of faith to resist his attacks, particularly those from the Immortal Palace’s spell assaults. Now, with the obstruction gone, torrents of flames, thunder, and a world-like scroll hurled down with a crash.

The body protection spell on Hall Master Guang Yao shattered instantly, with bolts of thunder leaping across his body, causing involuntary shudders with each strike.

Beneath the intense flames, his body charred black, and the force of an entire world crashing down seemed to crush him physically, bones emitting sharp cracks as if about to shatter entirely.

Above his head, the golden mask shattered under the successive attacks, revealing his true appearance.

”Wansheng City Lord!”

Cao Zhen was momentarily stunned upon recognizing him. He had never seen the Wansheng City Lord before, but he had been to Wansheng City, where a statue of the city lord stood. In addition, he had seen the descendants of the city lord, allowing him to identify him at once!

”To think, you owned such a significant city for our human clan in the Eastern Province, yet you betrayed us. However, it seems fitting considering the rules you set in Wansheng City. On the surface, they were impartial, but for those with connections, you turned a blind eye, fearing to offend anyone. It aligns with your character.”

As Cao Zhen spoke, he swung his sharp sword at the Wansheng City Lord’s face.

One sword flew, and in an instant, a hundred images of Cao Zhen appeared in the void, each from a different angle executing a variant sword thrust, each imbued with unique Sword Dao.

Strangely, it seemed to him like one sword was heading straight for him, merging the hundred into one, yet he couldn’t discern from which direction this single strike came.

”Swoosh...”

The sword pierced through, directly penetrating his throat, causing crimson blood to flow while the sharp Sword Qi surged through his body, wreaking havoc within.

Despite having condensed seven Immortal Palaces, his physical form remained ordinary in the True Immortal Realm. In mere moments, his skin, bones, meridians, and internal organs were shattered, causing him to plummet heavily out of the void, crashing onto the already battle-scarred and fragmented ground in the west.

”Boom!”

With a thunderous roar, he created a crater in the hard earth, with half his body sinking into the ground.

Cao Zhen descended from the sky to stand beside Hall Master Guang Yao, lowering his head and speaking in a deep voice: ”You’ve lost, and you can’t continue to live, and your identity is exposed.

You know the fate of those who betray our Human Clan once discovered. Although you may not be hanged on the city wall for public disgrace after your death, and even without a Great Teaching behind you, you had Wansheng City—imagine what will happen to Wansheng City and your descendants.”

”Now, I offer you a chance. Tell me about the Eternal Assembly, who your leader is, what your goals are, and the situation regarding the power of faith. I can protect Wansheng City, protect...”

Before Cao Zhen could finish speaking, the Wansheng City Lord’s body suddenly flushed red, and a terrifying force surged forth.

He intended to self-destruct!
