A few days later, deep within the Myriad Beasts Hall.
The Seven Heavenly Venerable's cave dwelling.
As a high-ranking Heavenly Venerable of the Myriad Beasts Hall, his own cultivation realm was at the peak of the Four-Revolutions Divine Tribulation. Only the few Heavenly Venerables above him and the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master were stronger than him. In his eyes, everyone else was an ant. Oh, and there was the Eighth Heavenly Venerable with the Golden Crow bloodline.
However, it wouldn't be long before he reached the absolute peak of the Four-Revolutions Divine Tribulation. Then he would defeat the Eighth Heavenly Venerable, seize his bloodline, and perhaps he could then break through to the Five-Revolutions Divine Tribulation realm.
As the Seven Heavenly Venerable thought this, a figure appeared within his cave dwelling.
"Hmm?"
The Seven Heavenly Venerable, snapping back to attention, frowned. He immediately sensed the presence of the Eighth Heavenly Venerable. "Greetings, Seventh Heavenly Venerable, I hope you are well."
A sinister glint flashed in the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's eyes. He knew the Seven Heavenly Venerable's intentions all along.
"Ah, it's old Eighth. What brings you..."
"Have you come to my dwelling? Do you want to spar with me again?"
Bang~!
Before the Seven Heavenly Venerable could finish speaking, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable unleashed a powerful strike, fully displaying his peak Four-Revolutions Divine Tribulation realm. The attack he used was the Sky-Mending Pavilion's ultimate skill, the [Sky-Mending Hand].
"Eighth Heavenly Venerable, you..."
The Seven Heavenly Venerable felt his life force rapidly draining away. His heart was already broken, and his internal organs had been shredded by the sneak attack from the Eighth Heavenly Venerable. He couldn't believe that this old Eighth would dare to attack him here.
And his cultivation realm... the peak of Four Revolutions, combined with the Golden Crow bloodline, made him far stronger than him!
This was why he had no power to resist.
Pfft~
Blood splattered. The Seven Heavenly Venerable was in disbelief. However, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable sealed off the entire cave dwelling and coldly sneered, "My dear Seventh Heavenly Venerable, weren't you always trying to take my bloodline? Tsk tsk~"
"Don't think I don't know about your little tricks. Since that's the case, then your bloodline power will be mine instead~~"
With that, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable cast a formation, forcibly transferring the Seven Heavenly Venerable's bloodline power to himself. The sensation was truly intoxicating. As expected, his cultivation realm had also advanced slightly. At this moment, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable was only one step away from the Five-Revolutions Divine Tribulation.
"Ah~~~"
As his bloodline power was extracted, the Seven Heavenly Venerable couldn't believe the drastic turn of events. How could this happen? Wasn't he supposed to be the one stripping the other guy's bloodline power? "No, I'm not reconciled!"
"Old Eighth, I'll kill you!!"
In his spiritual form, the Seven Heavenly Venerable lunged at the Eighth Heavenly Venerable, baring his fangs. However, in such a state, how could he be a match for the Eighth Heavenly Venerable? The Eighth Heavenly Venerable casually clenched his right hand, and immense power immediately shattered the Seven Heavenly Venerable's soul.
Thus, the Seven Heavenly Venerable of the Myriad Beasts Hall had completely perished, with no possibility of resurrection.
"Hmph~"
"The Myriad Beasts Hall ultimately belongs to the Master!!"
With a cold snort, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable looked at the corpse of the Seven Heavenly Venerable on the ground, then he dispelled the sealing formation. With a few casual [Sky-Mending Hand] attacks, he blasted at the cave dwelling. At the same time, he struck his own chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood. After all, the act had to be convincing.
"Scoundrel, you Sky-Mending Pavilion trash, where do you think you're going!!"
Immediately, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable darted out, his face pale and his aura in disarray. However, this was all an act. Even though he had taken a [Sky-Mending Hand] strike, it was only a minor injury, but he made it look severe.
He flashed out, and at this moment, several Heavenly Venerables from the surrounding Myriad Beasts Hall had arrived. Coincidentally, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable emerged from the cave dwelling in a disheveled state.
"Pfft~"
He spat out another mouthful of blood and staggered. The Sixth Heavenly Venerable rushed forward to support him. "Old Eighth, what happened!?"
"Quick, Sixth Heavenly Venerable, seal the Hall immediately!"
"The Sky-Mending Pavilion scoundrels ambushed our Myriad Beasts Hall, and the Seventh Heavenly Venerable... he has fallen!!"
"What!!!"
Upon hearing the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's words, the Sixth, Fifth, and Fourth Heavenly Venerables all flashed into the Seven Heavenly Venerable's cave dwelling. At the same time, the Third Heavenly Venerable vanished from his original spot.
Hmm!!
After a long while, the Third Heavenly Venerable's divine sense covered the entire Myriad Beasts Hall, but he couldn't find any traces. However, he sensed the residual fluctuations of the Sky-Mending Pavilion's [Sky-Mending Hand] attacks everywhere. Their Hall had suffered heavy losses, with no less than a thousand Divine Tribulation realm experts perishing.
He flashed again, and the Third Heavenly Venerable appeared in the Seven Heavenly Venerable's cave dwelling. "Sky-Mending Hand?"
"It's the Sky-Mending Pavilion again, how dare they!!"
Furious killing intent permeated the void. The Third Heavenly Venerable hated the Sky-Mending Pavilion the most in the entire Myriad Beasts Hall, because over a million years ago, it was the Sky-Mending Pavilion that killed his parents. That battle was the most painful battle in the history of their Myriad Beasts Hall.
Swish~~
Before long, the Sixth Heavenly Venerable arrived with the casualty report. "Third Heavenly Venerable, the Sky-Mending Pavilion's attack this time was brutal. Old Seventh has fallen, 1236 Divine Tribulation realm experts have perished, and over 3,000 pseudo-Divine Tribulation realm experts. However, not a single trace of the Sky-Mending Pavilion was found within the Hall, but there are residual ripples of the Sky-Mending Technique's escape method..."
"Clearly, this was a premeditated attack by the Sky-Mending Pavilion!"
Crack~
A terrifying aura emanated from the Third Heavenly Venerable, his killing intent intensifying. The overwhelming aura of the Nine-Revolutions Divine Tribulation filled the entire Myriad Beasts Hall. His furious voice boomed, "Sky-Mending Pavilion, my Myriad Beasts Hall will not rest until one of us is dead!!"
"All listen to my command, march towards the Sky-Mending Pavilion immediately!"
"I will make them pay with blood!!"
The Third Heavenly Venerable immediately issued his order. The Fourth Heavenly Venerable and the others were also filled with murderous intent. Only the Eighth Heavenly Venerable curved his lips in a fleeting, sinister smile. "The Master's plan is flawless. With the war against the Sky-Mending Pavilion, it will be time to eliminate dissidents."
"Old Eighth, you are severely injured. Why don't you stay in the Hall to recuperate."
The Third Heavenly Venerable said, looking at the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's pale face and weak aura.
"This..."
The Eighth Heavenly Venerable hesitated. "Third Heavenly Venerable, please allow me to join the attack on the Sky-Mending Pavilion!"
"Seventh Heavenly Venerable just died before my eyes. I want to avenge him and let the Sky-Mending Pavilion know that whoever offends my Myriad Beasts Hall will be punished, no matter how far away!!!"
"Good!!!"
Hearing the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's words, the Third Heavenly Venerable was extremely pleased. The other Heavenly Venerables were also deeply moved. Then, he flipped his hand and took out a spatial ring. "Inside is a pill, along with 100,000 pseudo-Divine Tribulation origins, as compensation for your injury this time."
"Thank you, Third Heavenly Venerable!!"
The Eighth Heavenly Venerable 'thanked' him respectfully. If anyone didn't know, they would truly believe that the Eighth Heavenly Venerable was willing to die for the Myriad Beasts Hall. Of course, if the Third Heavenly Venerable knew that the Seven Heavenly Venerable and many other powerhouses in the Myriad Beasts Hall had perished due to him, one could only imagine his reaction.
Of course, he would never know this, at least not until his death. And the Third Heavenly Venerable and his group had no idea that the current turmoil was just the beginning...
