Chapter 1339: Dark Scheming Spell

With that, he fiercely swung the staff.

The wriggling blood vessels on it immediately shot out. The openings of the blood vessels were densely packed with black teeth. Rather than blood vessels, they were more like countless long, blood-sucking worms. Hundreds of these blood vessels, if they pierced Jiang Fan's body, would instantly drain him into a shriveled corpse.

Sensing the danger of the blood vessels, Jiang Fan dared not hesitate. He activated the Heavenly Abyss Heart. The blood lightning within the Sky Thunder Stone was instantly absorbed by the Heavenly Abyss Heart! The perfected Heavenly Abyss Heart possessed an unknown hidden ability. It could instantly release all stored thunderous power into a single strike! Furthermore, the Void Stream Thunder Force had finally returned to its rightful place. Jiang Fan's next attack would reach an unprecedented level!

"Immortal Blade!" He raised his arm and swung it fiercely. A terrifying, boundless thunderous sword, wreathed in both crimson and pale lightning, reappeared in Taicang Great State after a long time! His current thunderous power far surpassed his previous strength by tenfold. With the integration of the Void Stream Thunder Force, it increased by another tenfold.

Thus, an immeasurable thunder sword, stretching across the sky, emerged. Even the well-versed Sinful Mind Venerable was left stunned.

"Slay!" As Jiang Fan swung it down fiercely, the boundless thunder sword caused the heavens and earth to tremble violently! Its blazing lightning overshadowed the scorching sun, engulfing all light in the world! The thunder sword enveloped the Sinful Mind Venerable and the endless blood vessels he wielded.

Boom! Immediately following was a colossal roar that seemed to swallow the heavens and earth! The earth seemed to be split apart, erupting in astounding dust and smoke!

When the lightning dissipated, the dust and smoke surged like dragons, sweeping in all directions. A horrifying and shocking gully stretched as far as the eye could see.

Jiang Fan's face was slightly pale. This single strike had exhausted all his thunderous power. He just didn't know if he had successfully slain the Sinful Mind Venerable.

The dust and smoke gradually dispersed, and an old figure, hovering in mid-air, slowly became visible. A terribly menacing aura emanated from him as he looked down at the top-grade spiritual artifact in his hand. All the blood vessels on it were severed and charred by the thunder sword. All the blood vessels he had accumulated throughout his life were destroyed!

"You little beast!" "You destroyed my most precious treasure, I won't let you off!"

With a heaven-shaking roar, all the surrounding dust cleared, revealing his disheveled state. His robes were burnt away, and his body was covered in scorch marks. If it weren't for the staff in his hand blocking most of the attack, he might have been severely wounded. Jiang Fan's move was already as potent as an attack from a Soul Transformation Venerable!

The Sinful Mind Venerable roared furiously, and the divine halo behind his head immediately blazed brightly.

"Sinful Mind Domain!"

Instantly, an invisible force sealed off the area. Jiang Fan immediately felt a surge of immense killing intent deep within his soul! He originally didn't harbor strong killing intent towards the Sinful Mind Venerable. It was merely a life-or-death struggle for self-preservation. However, under the influence of the Sinful Mind Domain, this killing intent became unprecedentedly intense, causing his eyes to turn red and pushing him to the brink of losing his rationality!

The Sinful Mind Venerable said with chilling killing intent: "I know your heart is pure, without darkness. However, when you fight to the death, it's impossible not to develop murderous thoughts. Since murderous thoughts exist, under my domain, all enemies can transform into instinctively bloodthirsty beasts! And your greatest reliance is precisely your ability to calmly face opponents and use various methods. Now, you've lost your reliance!"

As the battle-hardened Sinful Mind Venerable, he hit the nail on the head, pointing directly to Jiang Fan's biggest weakness!

Jiang Fan roared in a deep voice, "I won't be affected by you!" But he charged towards the Sinful Mind Venerable like a furious, reckless beast.

The Sinful Mind Venerable sneered, "Few among Venerables can withstand my domain. Much less you?" Looking at Jiang Fan rushing towards him, he coldly raised his index finger and pointed from afar: "It ends now. Jiang Fan."

Moon-Washing Lake. A gentle breeze swept across, creating ripples on the lake's surface. The white pagoda reflected in the lake swayed gently.

"Master, are you feeling better?" On the white pagoda, Chen Jing watched the graceful figure in a yellow dress, who sat cross-legged on the tower's peak, silently gazing at the horizon. Her long, smooth black hair cascaded down her back, its ends gently swaying. Waves of delicate fragrance drifted with the breeze. Her beautiful waistline, slender shoulders and back, and snow-white neck. The exquisite sight captivated Chen Jing.

Having embarked on the Path of Rebellion, he found it increasingly difficult to suppress his desires. The more the mundane world tried to restrain him, the more he yearned to break free.

True Word Venerable didn't turn her head, merely staring into the distance, and said, "Cultivate well, don't worry about me."

Chen Jing stepped closer, inhaling her increasingly distinct scent, his eyes growing more entranced.

"Master, I will find a way to restore your domain. I swear, I will."

True Word Venerable still didn't turn around, lightly saying, "What way? Tell me about it."

Chen Jing froze. He had just said it casually, not expecting True Word Venerable to take it seriously. "I, I will find a way."

True Word Venerable turned her head and glanced at him indifferently: "Do you know what I hate most in this life?"

Chen Jing stopped, not daring to approach further, and bowed, saying, "Insincerity. That's why the path you walk, Master, is the Path of True Words."

True Word Venerable retracted her gaze and said indifferently, "Good that you know. Don't speak false words in front of me; I don't like it."

Chen Jing's face flushed. But he was unwilling, saying, "What about Jiang Fan then? He's been swaggering and swindling his way through the Heavenly Realm, even deceiving the Sinful Mind Venerable. Why doesn't Master dislike him?"

True Word Venerable said, "I told you not to compare yourself to him. You can't compete."

Rebellion churned in Chen Jing's eyes. Repeatedly, he was told he was inferior to Jiang Fan! How was he inferior to Jiang Fan? He had been with True Word Venerable for years, while Jiang Fan had only known her for a short time. His heart ached, feeling a huge crisis.

Glancing at a chipped corner of True Word Venerable's divine halo, he gritted his teeth and secretly took out a jade slip containing the Sinful Mind Venerable's domain. He approached discreetly, saying, "Master, there's something I want to confess to you."

True Word Venerable didn't turn her head: "Speak."

Chen Jing walked behind her, took a deep breath, grabbed the jade slip, and slammed it towards her back, coldly shouting, "What I want to say is, you're mine! Jiang Fan won't take you!"

However, to his surprise, his palm struck empty air. The True Word Venerable before him transformed into a wisp of mist and dissipated!

"A, a phantom?" Chen Jing exclaimed in surprise.

Behind him, True Word Venerable's voice, cold as ice, suddenly rang out. "Bodhisattva told me to be wary of you, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you would actually plot against me!"

Chen Jing's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, his hand felt empty. The jade slip was snatched away.

"Kneel!" True Word Venerable held the jade slip, her beautiful face covered in a thick layer of frost.
