I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 386: Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' True Powers

Chapter 386: Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ True Powers

Woooooo!

The three Golden Crows were powerful enough to herd the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and Shen Tian together.

Three against three. In simple mathematical terms, it would be a one on one fight.

But in the cultivation world, one plus one did not always equal two.

The power of the previous two Golden Crows joining forces was the equivalent of three to four crows.

So the power of these three Golden Crows joining forces was more than seven to eight times their original pressure to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.

The combined attack of these three Golden Crows was like facing seven to eight powerful Golden Crows. Their demonic flames were strong and all-encompa.s.sing.

These three Golden Crows did not have any intelligence and only knew how to execute their fire attacks on an instinctual level. They were unable to attack their opponents in the way a true Sage could, and so their battle prowess was weaker than that of a real Sage pract.i.tioner.

However, they had a major home-ground advantage in this tomb. These fellows were as good as indestructible and immortal.

Unless they were injured beyond a certain point, they could recover almost instantaneously. In fact, their rate of recovery was even quicker than their opponent’s speed of attack.

Even when the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had managed to attack them and cause them some serious damage, it was useless.

Their true spirit was already merged with the tomb, and their souls were imprinted in the tomb.

As long as the tomb was in one piece, their true spirit could be reborn again and again. It was totally bizarre and miraculous.

It should be pointed out that there was no other such instance of unlimited rebirth in the entire five regions. This was against the laws of nature.

After all, life and death was a major part of the natural order of things. Unlimited rebirth was totally against this natural order.

The Golden Crow Thearch was truly formidable. He had been able to set up such an astonis.h.i.+ng domain in Immortal Abode Island to nurture the true spirits of his nine offspring.

No one else apart from him would be able to do this.

It was clear that the Golden Crow Thearch held a very powerful legacy.

...

“These beasts will become even more difficult to handle after joining forces.”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was jumping from being burned by the sea of fire. He was an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable, and his battle prowess was equivalent to a Sage.

However, it was clear that the Golden Crow Thearch had considered such pract.i.tioners when setting up his domain.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus may not be as affected as the other Sages by the pressure in this tomb, but he still felt a significant suppression.

“d.a.m.n little chicks! I’d teach you a lesson if this tomb didn’t restrain my power!”

He waved his golden staff and swept off a gust of flames.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ physical body swelled, making his flowy robes into a tight-fitting outfit. His hair flew wildly as he exuded a dominant aura.

Even so, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was still unable to fend off the combined attacks of those three Golden Crows.

The energy of his staff strikes was dispelled by an array formation created by the three Golden Crows’ joined efforts.

His mountain-splitting attack landed full force on those three Golden Crows but was only able to ruffle their feathers a little. There was no real impact at all.

“We must separate those three birds. Otherwise, we will never be able to injure them.”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s voice was calm as always, but his heavenly aura dazzled brightly as it intensified.

Golden lightning surrounded his entire body, as well as the red-gold divine flames.

This was the Mixed Divine Lightning formed from a high-level mastery of the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra. It was very effective against all sorts of evil spirits.

At the same time, there was also the energy of the sun cultivated by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader from his understanding of the Imperial Sutra of Sun. This was also very effective against evil spirits.

Of course, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not execute the Imperial Sutra of Sun in hopes of completely vanquis.h.i.+ng the Golden Crows. It would be impossible.

The Golden Crow race was well-known for being one of the best in controlling flames. They were ranked right at the top together with the Phoenix race.

In addition, these nine Golden Crows were the sons of the Thearch. Their talent, cultivation level, and power were already at unfathomable levels. Their ability to control fire could thus be imagined.

It was impossible to use the power of fire to suppress them.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader just wanted to rely on the Imperial Sutra of Sun to tap into the Thearch tomb domain so that he could enhance his own speed of recovery.

At the same time, he could also subtly suppress the recovery rate of those three Golden Crows.

His lightning and heavenly aura surged to form a magnificent figure, which was over ten feet tall. It was like a Lightning G.o.d had descended to earth.

b.a.l.l.s of fire created by those Golden Crows shot toward him but were all sliced in half by the lightning sword in his hands.

Compared to Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, who had been forced to scurry off despite his showy golden staff attack, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s performance was much better.

At the very least, he looked way cooler.

“Easier said than done. The power, speed, and defense of those three beasts have been magnified many times after they joined forces.

“Even a Sage who has undergone five tribulations might not be able to defeat them.

“On top of that, our powers are being suppressed by this Thearch tomb. Tell me, how are you going to split them up? Use your disciple’s handsome face to lure them away?”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus pursed his lips. The power of the Golden Crows was really difficult to handle. He was somewhat regretting having lured them out.

Sigh... Quietly sneaking around to steal treasures with his lucky little Martial Nephew in tow, wasn’t that good enough?

Aye, the treasures left behind by the great Golden Crow Thearch... Even if it were just his dining plates and cutlery, they would still be extraordinary items.

Just those items alone would be enough to make this trip worth it. Why did I have to do such a strenuous and dangerous thing instead?

What if the other Golden Crows also came over? Won’t I become barbeque meat then?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly, “Senior Brother, ever since you started treading down the G.o.dfiend path, you have become more stable and learned to be more reserved. This is a good thing.

“But this concerns the Golden Crow Thearch’s offspring and whether Tian’er is able to inherit his Immortal Abode Island. I hope that you can display your true power.”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was exasperated. “Junior Brother, what are you talking about? I am already giving my best.”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader replied, “Is that so?”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus insisted. “Yes.”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said, “I was about to say that after cleaning out this Immortal Abode Island, we will split the fortuitous opportunities equally. But now...”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus smiled. “When did you realize this?”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura rippled. “Every time you eat the Forgetting Pill, it takes effect just too smoothly.

“Given your G.o.dfiend body, if you are unwilling, even a Sage Forgetting Pill cannot possibly be so effective.”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shrugged. “So what?”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader replied calmly, “This means that you are purposely withholding your true strength.

“This is because those people will not permit two elite prodigies rising together in the same sect. So you have been pretending to be silly and a troublemaker, as if you have given up on yourself.

“But I have always believed that as my First Senior Brother who used to be able to suppress me, you are stronger than anyone else.

“I have been hiding, you have also been hiding. This tacit agreement to withhold our abilities has been going on for way too long.”

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus maintained an impa.s.sive expression. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader replied steadily, “When you first revealed your power back then, I did not respect you. That’s because the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground at that time was in decline and did not need a leader who was so stubborn.

“But after your power was nullified, I realized that you were not as foolish as I thought you were.

“You have sacrificed yourself in exchange for hundreds of years of peaceful times for our sect, in exchange for my rise.

“You wanted to hide your true power, so I followed along. You wanted to pretend to be silly and reckless, so I played along. In the blink of an eye, it has been hundreds of years.

“Senior Brother, now that our sect has Tian’er and is on the rise again, you don’t need to bear such a heavy burden anymore. Please unleash your true power!

“It is time for the entire five regions to witness again the glory of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s former First Senior Brother—the top pract.i.tioner in Eastern Wilderness of his generation, the most powerful prodigy then. Let them feel shock and awe.

“At the same time, I am also very curious. 700 years ago, you had always been on top of me.

“700 years later, I have transcended all human emotions and desires and ascended the almighty path. I wonder if I am still below you.”

The Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura vibrated more intensely. A ten-foot-tall lightning giant radiated with an earth-shattering aura, such that even the pa.s.sageway was shaking.

His voice actually held a sliver of excitement as he continued speaking. “Senior Brother, do you dare to compete with me? Let’s see who is the first to subdue those Golden Crows!”

...

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus pursed his lips when he felt the intense aura of compet.i.tiveness emanating from the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. “You have said so much, but all you are trying to do is to goad me into revealing my trump card?”

A dazzling golden lightning mark appeared between the old Taoist priest’s brows. It radiated with a magnificent and elegant aura.

He raised his golden staff, pointed it toward the sky, and boundless Mixed Divine Lightning instantly gathered around his staff.

Yes, this was the Divine Firmament Lightning arts. Only a Qi Refinement cultivator at the Golden Core stage and above could display this technique.

And Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was now exhibiting the most proper form of this lightning art.

His aura magnified and broke through the Sage barrier, reaching a brand new level.

He stepped forward, leaving an afterimage behind, which gradually solidified into a real figure.

This figure looked very similar to Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus but appeared to be middle-aged. He was dressed in a golden robe with precious treasures in hand. The dominant aura he exuded was akin to a G.o.dking.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus did not stop. He stepped out again, once again leaving behind an afterimage which gradually solidified.

This figure also resembled Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus but looked even younger. He looked exactly like when he was still a das.h.i.+ng young prodigy. He was holding a green sword that radiated with harsh, sharp energy as if it could even slice through time itself.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura vibrated intensely the moment this young prodigy appeared.

...

This image was something that had been imprinted in the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s memory for hundreds of years.

He gazed at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and his voice tinged with an unprecedented note of emotion. “Senior Brother, you are finally back.”

Golden staff in hand, Chu Longhe gave off a gravitas, which he never possessed before. “Yes, we are all back.”

The young, middle-aged, and old men said in unison, “Now that there are three of me...

“There will be an additional charge!”
