332: The realization before death is too late!

"Pfft!"

Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's Cultivation Technique was broken, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The Qi throughout his entire body instantly became chaotic, and his eyes revealed an expression of extreme disbelief.

Nascent Void Yang Solid, each Realm is a matter of life and death!

The gap between each Realm is immense; after all, every time one advances a Realm, one must successfully undergo the Lightning Tribulation.

And every time one undergoes the Lightning Tribulation, it is equivalent to a process of Nirvana and Rebirth, which greatly enhances a Cultivator's Physical Body, Divine Soul, and cultivation base!

Therefore, in the general consensus, a difference of one Realm usually means one is suppressed in battle, while a difference of two Realms usually results in a crushing defeat.

And the difference between Third Elder Zhong Tongfu and Liang Xingchao was precisely two Realms!

"I have a Nascent Void Eighth Realm cultivation, yet you, a mere Sixth Realm, are actually able to break my God-Slaying Disk?! Is this the power of the Saint Lord Heart Sutra?!"

Liang Xingchao did not respond; he controlled the seal and slammed it toward Third Elder Zhong Tongfu.

Seeing this, Third Elder Zhong Tongfu roared, "Do you think you've already won just by doing this? I don't believe you can really kill me!"

Third Elder Zhong Tongfu let out a roar, circulated his cultivation, forced out a mouthful of essence blood, and condensed it onto his right fist. A blood-colored pattern slowly emerged on the back of his hand.

He clenched his right hand into a fist, then channeled all his cultivation into his knuckles. Under the enhancement of the essence blood, a light alternating between gold and red began to emerge.

Third Elder Zhong Tongfu glanced at the white seal, then recklessly overdrafted his own cultivation and punched toward it.

In an instant, a beam of light alternating between gold and red blasted out from Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's right hand. A vast and mighty aura surged from it, which was extremely spectacular, but there were also wisps of a bloody scent within it, making it seem somewhat sinister amidst its grandeur.

This full-force strike, containing Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's essence blood, caused Liang Xingchao's expression to shift slightly. He knew his attack was likely to be shattered, so he also made his move!

With a wave of his hand, a protective shield appeared around Su Lin Yun; it was one Liang Xingchao had set up for her.

Then, his figure followed closely behind the white seal, charging toward the gold-red beam of light.

The moment they collided, the seal shattered directly in mid-air. Liang Xingchao was not surprised at all, his eyes remaining incomparably cold.

"Mysterious Void Palm!"

A cold voice rang out.

Liang Xingchao's palm slowly struck the gold-red beam. The two stalemated for a moment in mid-air before the gold-red beam began to retreat steadily, continuously being dispersed.

During this process, Liang Xingchao's figure got closer and closer to Third Elder Zhong Tongfu, and the palpable killing intent became clearer and clearer.

"Ahhh!"

After feeling Liang Xingchao's killing intent, Third Elder Zhong Tongfu shuddered and began to become somewhat frantic, recklessly pouring all his cultivation into his right fist. He was fighting for his life!

Because he knew that once he was defeated, only death would await him!

Liang Xingchao stared coldly at Third Elder Zhong Tongfu. In his eyes, Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's current outburst was nothing more than the final struggle of a trapped beast, completely meaningless.

At the same time, he sneered at the Celestial Pivot Vein Master; this person had actually underestimated him so much!

He was, after all, the ChangSheng Sect Leader!

If he, a dignified ChangSheng Sect Leader, couldn't even defeat the Third Elder of another pulse, then he would be too pathetic as a ChangSheng Sect Leader.

The Chang Sheng Pulse's Saint Lord Heart Sutra was extremely difficult to reach Minor Achievement in, but after reaching Minor Achievement, there would be no Bottleneck for a long stretch of the path of progress ahead.

It would continue to progress until it was time for Major Achievement of the Mind-Cultivation Technique, so as long as he was given a few hundred more years, he could stand on equal footing with the other Sect Masters.

Unfortunately, reality did not give him that time.

He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if the Celestial Pivot Vein Master had sensed something, but he had made his move within a few years of him achieving Minor Achievement.

The Wuji Daoist said happily, "This guy is going to die; he is almost at the end of his rope, but that Old man still has strength left."

Lü Chengtian also said, "To be able to defeat an Eighth Realm Cultivator while at the Nascent Void Sixth Realm and still have strength remaining, this person is truly a natural-born talent!"

...

"Go to hell!"

Liang Xingchao roared, and the beam of light finally dissipated completely, revealing Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's terrified face!

"No, no, no! ChangSheng Sect Leader, don't kill me! I am willing to submit to you, please show mercy!"

"Begging for mercy now? Too late! I have exposed my trump card, how could I return empty-handed? Letting you live—would that just be to make it convenient for you to go back and report this?!"

Liang Xingchao said coldly.

He slowly stepped out with his right foot and kicked fiercely into mid-air. Immediately, a surge of cultivation erupted and quickly condensed above Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's head.

"You wanted to see how I would kill you, didn't you? Then watch!"

As Liang Xingchao's voice rang out, a footprint materialized above Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's head and suppressed him with an unstoppable momentum.

Third Elder Zhong Tongfu could only instinctively raise his hands above his head, wanting to use them to block this strike.

But he was already heavily injured and in a state of exhaustion; he could not block this strike from Liang Xingchao.

"Ahhh!"

Accompanied by Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's screams, his body was slammed toward the ground at high speed under the heavy blow, and then he smashed heavily into the depths of the earth.

"Bang!"

A giant crater about ten kilometers in radius appeared on the ground.

In the center of the giant crater, a person lay on his back, blood slowly overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and his entire body was soaked in blood.

Only his slightly heaving chest could prove that he was still alive at this moment.

"Spare... spare my life... I was wrong..."

Third Elder Zhong Tongfu lay on the ground, and although he was at his last breath, he continued to beg for mercy.

"Wrong? Go tell that to my fellow disciples below!"

Liang Xingchao said angrily, bending his knee and smashing it fiercely into Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's abdomen.

"Pfft!"

Third Elder Zhong Tongfu suffered another heavy blow, his eyes suddenly widening until his eyeballs were almost popping out.

A large mouthful of blood sprayed out, splashing onto Liang Xingchao's face.

Looking at Liang Xingchao, who was close at hand, Third Elder Zhong Tongfu's body sent out signals of extreme danger; he was clearly on the verge of life and death!

Suddenly, his mind became clear; at the moment of near-death, he finally broke free from the influence of the black mist.

He remembered that when Liang Xingchao had explained those things to him earlier, he had had some doubts, so he had intended to ask for the truth of the matter, but for some reason, he had suddenly attacked him!

After realizing this, he finally understood that he had likely been controlled by someone with ulterior motives!

That person was most likely the Celestial Pivot Vein Master!

Although he had reached this epiphany, everything was already beyond redemption.
