Chapter 1040 - 1040 0987 Sage The Fallen Sage

1040: Chapter 0987: Sage, The Fallen Sage 1040: Chapter 0987: Sage, The Fallen Sage “Sage…

Sage…”

Lv Zhong’s scalp tingled with fear!

Only a Sage could possess such terrifying might!

Moreover, having obtained the True Spirit Memory of the plague deity, he could recognize the might of a Sage.

In the core depths of [Yin Meng Star], the mysterious creature in that underground cavern was a true Sage…

No, it was emanating a faint Sage’s aura.

Otherwise, the Soul Merit Golden Body, protected by the 6th Grade Golden Lotus, Green Lotus Flower Crown, and the Insect Clan Crown, and consolidated by the absolute Merit Power and Power of Faith, could not possibly be damaged.

Only Saintly Might could possess such immense power!

However, after this wisp of Saintly Might passed through the protection of the 6th Grade Golden Lotus, Green Lotus Flower Crown, Insect Clan Crown, as well as the absolute Merit Power and Power of Faith and injured Lv Zhong’s Soul Merit Golden Body, its might seemed to have weakened considerably.

This allowed Lv Zhong to barely hang on.

It must be said that because Lv Zhong was born on Earth, he always cherished freedom and equality, making him dare to forcefully spy on the “Sage” deeper in the cave even though he knew of its existence.

It could be said that Lv Zhong possessed a “cat-like” curiosity.

Lv Zhong did not immediately run for his life!

In his view, if the person in the cave had the intention to annihilate him, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape.

Since he couldn’t escape, why not boldly take a closer look?

“How…

How can there be a Sage on this [Yin Meng Star]?

And his Saintly Might seems much weaker than the Heavenly Teacher Master of my memories…”

By comparing with the Heavenly Teacher Master, Lv Zhong realized that the creature in the cave seemed to have less control over its Saintly Might.

This surprised Lv Zhong.

In his memory, he had seen the Heavenly Teacher Master, Supreme Laojun, Primordial Heavenly Lord, Jieyin, Zhunti, and even Nuwa.

The strengths of these Sages varied, but they could all control their Saintly Might very well.

Otherwise, no disciples beneath them could withstand even a tiny leak of their Saintly Might.

“There’s something…

something off about this ‘Sage,'” Lv Zhong suddenly murmured, then his eyes widened widely, “Could it be that this Sage has already fallen…”

Just then, Lv Zhong suddenly felt three extremely familiar and formidable auras pursuing him from above.

“Hehe, Young Master has been injured by this Saintly Might, so you should suffer a bit too, otherwise I would be at a great loss…” Lv Zhong suddenly sneered and quickly used Space, Earth, and Shadow elements of Great Path Tao Marks to ostentatiously create several impressive and powerful restrictions.

Then, once again deploying the [Eight Treasures Shadow Divine Dragon] power, he directly concealed himself in another direction.

“Eh, where did that guy go?” Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor cried out in surprise.

Randeng’s face darkened as he said, “He was just around here not long ago, probably hasn’t escaped far.”

“Damn it, I really didn’t expect to find such surprising top-grade Demon Crystals beneath this [Godslaying Demon Cave].

That guy is too despicable, he dug away nearly a third of the top-grade Demon Crystals.

How infuriating—” Chi Yan Demon Emperor was also somewhat grinding his teeth in anger, his eyes bloodshot with the pain of Lv Zhong stealing nearly a third of the top-grade Demon Crystals.

For Immortals and people of Buddha’s Door, these top-grade Demon Crystals were just akin to a massive wealth, but for the inhabitants of the Demon World, they were a vast energy mine, treasures that could absorb their energy and enhance their own bodies.

“Chi Yan, don’t be anxious about these top-grade Demon Crystals.

We need to find that guy first.

Damn him, now I understand we’ve been tricked by him.

That guy is definitely not Emperor-level strong, but just an Emperor Level with unexpectedly condensed high-quality Tao Marks.

Otherwise, he would not have retreated…” Randeng spoke very irritably.

But now, it was too late for anything.

“Right, have you noticed anything off about this area?”

Just at this moment, Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor, his eyes firmly staring at a spot in front of him below, asked abruptly.

Off?

Randeng and Chi Yan both reacted, their gazes simultaneously focusing on a spot below.

“Restriction?” Chi Yan Demon Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

“A top-level restriction set up with Great Path Patterns—” Randeng said in a heavy voice, “Hehe, and it was just recently set up.

That guy must be hiding within that restriction below—”

“Haha, actually hiding within a restriction, that guy is really courting death!” Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor laughed loudly.

Without any hesitation, Randeng immediately brought out his Innate Supreme Treasure—the Measuring Heaven Ruler.

“Break—” he shouted loudly, and with the Measuring Heaven Ruler carrying unmatched offensive power, he directly slammed it onto those countless layers of restrictions.

As a Mid-level Peak Quasi-Sage, this strike had Randeng muster nearly eighty percent of his energy.

Combined with the [Measuring Heaven Ruler], even an average Immortal Emperor of the same rank would hardly be able to withstand this thunderous blow.

“Rumbling…”

The terrifying energy focused on one point, directly falling on the countless layers of restrictions.

“Crack crack…”

“Pop pop…”

“Sizzle…”

…

Layer upon layer of restraints were shattered as easily as if they were dry branches snapped underfoot, the sound of their collapse as crisp and clear as breaking glass in the Mortal World, filling the three with extreme delight.

“Haha, they’re almost all broken.

Randeng, the Ancient Buddha, please, add another burst of effort—” Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, laughed wildly, eager to rush in first and viciously vanquish the thief who had stolen thirty percent of the top-grade demon crystals.

Those who dared to steal from the mouth of Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, must be taught a profound lesson.

The Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor watched the remaining restraints, which were less than sixty percent intact, with a fierce killing intent in his eyes.

“Break again—”

This time, Randeng harnessed his full energy.

The [Measuring Heaven Ruler] struck down with an unstoppable force, ferociously hammering the restraints.

“Rumbling…”

All of the restraints were destroyed by the overwhelming brute force.

A small fissure in the rocks appeared before them.

“Eh, there’s…

a cave within the cave…” the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

Suddenly, waves of terrifying might, potent enough to make one’s heart palpitate with fear, surged forward violently.

“Pfft pfft pfft…”

With hardly any preparation in soul defenses, the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor, Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, and Randeng, the Ancient Buddha, were simultaneously shaken to their cores by this exceptional might, vomiting fresh blood.

Among them, the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor fared the worst.

He spurted out seven to eight mouthfuls of blood and even his five internal organs and six hollow organs bore a tremendous impact, his mind severely agitated.

Were it not for the surrounding rocks underground, his entire body might have been sent flying far away by this holy might.

Still, even so, the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor felt as if his bones were about to be crushed into pieces.

Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, fared slightly better.

After all, the devil qi here was immense and dense, offering him the least suppression.

Yet, he still spat out four mouthfuls of vital blood, his soul experiencing a severe shock, and his strength was now probably less than seventy percent of its peak.

Without centuries of recuperation, he wouldn’t recover.

As for Randeng, he had a not-insignificant amount of merit and was especially adept in soul and mental cultivation.

More importantly, he had frequent contact with Sages, making him most resistant to such saintly might.

He only coughed up two mouthfuls of heart blood.

With quiet recuperation, he should be able to heal within a thousand years.

“Sage…

a Sage?” the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor and Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, exclaimed in unison, struggling to turn their heads to look at Randeng.

Wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, Randeng nodded, “Correct, it is a Sage!

However…”

“However, what?” Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, rubbed his chest and slowly straightened up to ask.

With a peculiar expression, Randeng took a moment before saying, “It is indeed a Sage, but it is a Sage who has already perished.”

“A Sage who’s already perished?

I’m dizzy…

Legends say that Sages are immortal and indestructible, yet they too fall?” Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, showed his lack of understanding of Sages with his naive comment.

The corners of Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor’s mouth twitched as he explained on behalf of Randeng, “In theory, Sages could be immortal.

However, if they encounter an insurmountable enemy or calamity, they too can fall.

Nothing is absolutely certain…”

“I, of course, know that.

I’m just lamenting, you understand?” Chi Yan gave the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor a glare and added with affected solemnity, “Damn it, Sages are truly too powerful.

Even after perishing, their saintly body still possesses such terrifying might…

I wonder if I could reach the Sage Realm within a billion years…”

Now, even Randeng’s mouth twitched.

“No, the one who stole the mysterious treasure and set up these restraints to lure us into action, obviously suffered from this saintly might himself.

Yet he could still arrange such powerful restrictions; evidently, his strength isn’t far behind ours.

No wonder, could he really not be Lv Zhong?” At this moment, the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor began to doubt as well.

Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, promptly rolled his eyes and said, “Of course it’s not Lv Zhong.

If this guy were Lv Zhong, Lv Zhong wouldn’t almost have been annihilated by my single move.

Heavenly Flame, have you gone mad with the desire for revenge for your son?

Do you think any powerful individual could be Lv Zhong?”

The Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor was left speechless.

This matter became increasingly perplexing for him.

Previously, he had assumed that the individual in the shadows was Lv Zhong, which is why he had been so determined to catch up and eliminate the foe.

But now, in this mysterious place, even they, the three great Immortal Emperor realm powerhouses, were heavily injured in body and soul by the might of the fallen Sage.

How long had Lv Zhong ascended to the Immortal Realm?

He seemed to only be at the mid-level Profound Immortal Realm.

If it were really him, then he would have been directly obliterated by the saintly might here.

But if it really isn’t Lv Zhong, then who could it be?

“Forget about who that person is.

Now that we’re at the resting place of a fallen Sage, we must go in and have a look no matter what…” Chi Yan, the Demon Emperor, muttered with a flicker of red light in his eyes.

Jolted by his words, the Heavenly Flame Immortal Emperor immediately snapped out of his quandary.

As for Randeng, the Ancient Buddha, his body trembled slightly, and an astonishing energy emanated from him, repelling the stirring might of the Sage around him.

If this was where a Sage had fallen, there must undoubtedly be treasures of the highest order present.

There might even be methods and insights pertaining to the acknowledgment of a Sage, which would be an immense advantage for those at the Emperor-level (Quasi-Saint)—lessening the detours on their path to Sainthood.

But the question remained—could they successfully acquire the treasures and insights of the Sage?
