Chapter 1417 The Demeanor of a Sage
The coffin of the Chen family's sage was like a brick in Dao Sheng's hands.
It possessed no apparent power or technique, yet when smashed directly, it unleashed immense force.
The sound of its passage through the air resembled the roar of ten thousand thunderclaps!
The Luo family's half-sage saw his Sage Path being struck. He reacted instantly, realizing the opponent intended to destroy his Sage Path directly.
Although he had never encountered such a method before, the Luo family's half-sage was swift in his reaction. He immediately attached his Sage Path to himself.
The Luo family's half-sage intended to catch the coffin of the Chen family's sage, which was being hurled at him again, with his own hands. However, as his hands made contact with the coffin, he felt an overwhelming pressure.
It was a power of immense magnitude, entirely unlike anything he had experienced in their previous exchanges.
The Luo family's half-sage was utterly astounded. Despite both parties engaging with the same coffin of the Chen family's sage, in Dao Sheng's grasp, it unleashed a different, incredibly domineering power.
This was worlds apart from the relentless pressure of their earlier combat.
Dao Sheng, seeing that his opponent could withstand these two blows, raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Using another's Sage Path to flaunt your power, your Luo family is truly something!"
"Originally, I only intended to destroy the nascent form of your Sage Path, but it seems now I must directly sever your Luo family's foundation!"
Dao Sheng's heart was not merely inflamed by the death of his friend.
He had expanded this fury to encompass all members of the Luo family.
Dao Sheng clasped the coffin of the Chen family's sage with both hands and said solemnly, "Sage Chen, gather your strength. Do not let your coffin shatter."
"I know your true form is inside. There is something above the thirty-sixth heaven. Until my main body finds that thing, do not reveal your true form!"
The Chen family's sage immediately understood Dao Sheng's meaning. He let out a muffled sound, and to his astonishment, he found himself being swung around one hundred and eighty degrees.
The Chen family's sage quickly consolidated his strength within the coffin.
In the next instant, the Chen family's sage felt an immense oppressive force attempting to tear his coffin apart from the outside in.
The Chen family's sage's true form, which had been slumbering, involuntarily opened its eyes.
This power!
It was too terrifying!
If not for the timely warning, his coffin would likely have been torn to shreds by now.
How strong would Dao Sheng's main body be?
As the Chen family's sage pondered this, he and the coffin were already flying through the air.
Their speed was so great that it ripped space itself into a chaotic void.
The Luo family's half-sage gritted his teeth, condensed his nascent Sage Path, and infused all his spiritual energy into it.
But the moment their forces clashed, the Luo family's half-sage heard a crisp snapping sound.
His spiritual energy barrier and his Sage Path began to shatter almost simultaneously.
The Luo family's half-sage watched the cracks appear before him. By the time he reacted, the coffin of the Chen family's sage had struck his true form.
Under the gaze of all observers, the Luo family's half-sage's true form crashed into the imperial wall.
More than the Luo family's half-sage's injuries, people were more concerned about the spatial rifts left in the air.
Previously, as the coffin of the Chen family's sage had arrived, it had left numerous marks in the air.
However, these spatial rifts had quickly repaired themselves.
But the rifts that had just appeared within the imperial city showed no signs of repair.
Instead, they slowly expanded outwards.
Dao Sheng clapped his hands and chuckled, "I've never seen anyone so foolish, just standing there to take a beating?"
Dao Sheng's figure flickered, and he once again seized the coffin of the Chen family's sage.
He then appeared before the Luo family's half-sage, intending to strike again.
At this point, the Luo family's half-sage was on the verge of losing consciousness, resisting only by instinct.
But just as Dao Sheng was about to strike.
Dao Sheng and the Chen family's sage within the coffin both had a sharp change in their expressions.
"Quick!"
The moment the Chen family's sage spoke, Dao Sheng's position had already shifted.
Dao Sheng, carrying the coffin of the Chen family's sage, appeared behind Chen Yang and hurled it towards the void.
Everyone watching was somewhat bewildered by this scene.
However, the coffin of the Chen family's sage did not strike empty air. It was intercepted by the void mid-flight.
A pair of mysterious giant hands caught the coffin of the Chen family's sage, and a thunderous voice boomed from the sky.
"Hahaha, Dao Sheng, Sage Chen, it has truly been a long time, hasn't it!"
"Dao Sheng, you've become more ruthless compared to back then. You immediately sought to kill. This is not like your usual style."
As he spoke, another giant hand appeared before the Luo family's half-sage. However, the moment it grasped the Luo family's half-sage, it vanished.
It was clear that the opponent's feint of encircling the enemy to rescue the besieged was precisely to save the Luo family's half-sage.
Dao Sheng recognized the familiar voice and sneered, "Luo, I spared your life back then. I didn't expect you to dare to show yourself again."
"What's the matter? If you have the guts, bring out your main body and let's spar!"
The master of the two mysterious giant hands that had just appeared was none other than Luo Da Sheng, who had clashed with him in the past.
He could never forget this voice!
As Dao Sheng spoke, a mysterious voice echoed in Dao Sheng's ear: "Keep this bastard busy for a while. I'm calculating his position."
Dao Sheng's eyes lit up inwardly, but he showed no outward change. He continued, "Regardless of how your Luo family conducts itself, just now... a sage ambushing a mere terrestrial immortal realm youngster? How could you do such a thing?"
Luo Da Sheng, speaking from the shadows, chuckled, "Dao Sheng, your words are mistaken. This child possesses immense treasures and has gathered such powerful human fortune. His future is promising."
"I should congratulate Sage Chen here first. The Chen family has produced a sage!"
Inside the coffin, the Chen family's sage trembled with anger.
The Chen family's sage truly did not understand how the other party could speak such words with such impunity.
If not for Dao Sheng's quick reaction just now, Chen Yang's life would have been in grave peril!
"Hmph, my son possesses the potential of a sage!"
"Unlike your Luo family, who besides relying on plundering the residual Sage Paths of others, cannot even produce a single commendable descendant."
Upon hearing this, Luo Da Sheng's smile vanished instantly.
His Luo family had three Luo Sages, not counting the absorption of others' residual Sage Paths!
How dare this Chen dare to speak so boastfully?
Suppressing his inner rage, Luo Da Sheng ignored the Chen family's sage and said, "Dao Sheng, my Luo family has lost a half-sage. Is this matter settled?"
