Chapter 1446: The Might of a Single Leaf

Bingxin Grand Venerable couldn't help but cover her red lips, her crystal eyes flickering with traces of shock.

Jinlin Grand Venerable also looked surprised and said, "Young Emperor, come back quickly!"

Heilong Grand Venerable was also startled by the Young Emperor's mad act and said, "What a lunatic!"

That was a battle of Sages; how dared a Soul Transformation realm cultivator join it?

One careless move, and they could turn to dust!

Under their gaze, the Young Emperor charged directly into the battlefield. With one stomp, a curtain of thunder collapsed downwards.

It actually suppressed the laws of the two warring individuals.

Bingxin Grand Venerable's beautiful eyes sparkled with astonishment: "I've long heard that the Young Emperor has touched upon the Law of Thunder."

"I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect him to truly reach this stage."

"To cultivate the path of thunder to perfection before even becoming a Sage, he is the only one in the Central Land!"

Heilong Grand Venerable squinted, a hint of battle intent flashing in his eyes: "If I could take one more step in my ancestry, I could also reach his level!"

Jinlin Grand Venerable's eyes were filled with complexity.

He had not yet returned to his ancestral form, and his strength was even inferior to the Young Emperor's.

Although they were both in the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings, the gap in their strength was quite significant!

The battle in the void quickly became invisible.

Only the clash of laws and the ultimate thunder path could be felt.

A short while later.

With a loud bang.

A smoking, pitch-black corpse plunged into the Central Land, crashing onto the ground.

Terrifying thunder-fire continuously incinerated his body, and various laws also destroyed his physique.

"A Sage from the Underworld, is that all?"

The Young Emperor returned through the air, looking down at the charred corpse on the ground, and said indifferently, "How uninteresting."

The three Grand Venerables who witnessed this scene were too shocked to speak.

The Young Emperor and the High Priestess, working together, had actually slain a Sage from the Underworld?

And the Young Emperor, apart from his surrounding thunder light dimming slightly, hadn't suffered any injuries!

Even if the Young Emperor's thunder path had a suppressive effect on creatures from the Underworld, this was simply too incredible!

The High Priestess, clad in a long green dress, returned through the air. She deeply gazed at the Young Emperor and said:

"Beneath the Sage realm, no one is your match."

She had still understated her words.

If they encountered a heavily injured Sage like Benevolent-Heart Sage, they might not even be able to defeat the Young Emperor.

However.

There were other reasons why she and the Young Emperor could jointly kill the Underworld Sage.

Her gaze flickered, and she arrived before the charred corpse.

With a flick of her finger, a law entered the charred corpse, and the body instantly turned into black smoke and dispersed.

Only a green leaf the size of a washbasin was left behind.

It was a lotus leaf!

The High Priestess picked up the lotus leaf and squinted: "A leaf from the Calamity Black Lotus."

"We were only fighting one of its leaves."

She had been fighting the black, viscous Sage and could clearly feel that its power of laws had continuously weakened since the collapse of the interlayer world.

That was why she and the Young Emperor could easily slay it by working together.

Otherwise, a true Sage would not fall so easily.

Jinlin Grand Venerable hurried over, gazing fixedly at the lotus leaf, his expression growing more solemn:

"Just one leaf has the strength of a Sage."

"What kind of existence is the true Calamity Black Lotus?"

"This item must absolutely not be brought into the Central Land!"

He quickly said, "High Priestess, the West Sea Crown Prince has already taken the Calamity Black Lotus."

"Please, High Priestess, take action to eliminate this hidden danger!"

As long as the High Priestess was willing to act, Heilong Grand Venerable wouldn't be able to succeed.

To everyone's surprise, the High Priestess simply stared silently into the void for a moment before waving her hand and saying:

"You don't need to worry needlessly."

As she spoke, she waved her hand towards the thousand-zhang rift in the air, and the torn spatial barrier healed.

She exhaled and couldn't help but smile: "The matter of the interlayer world ends here."

Looking at the black lotus leaf in her hand, she raised a finger, wrote a line of text on it, and then tossed it to Jinlin Grand Venerable:

"This is for the greatest contributor among the reinforcements this time."

Jinlin Grand Venerable took it and couldn't help but show a look of envy.

It was actually the High Priestess's Sage inscription!

No, there were also the laws of the Calamity Black Lotus!

It was equivalent to two sets of Sage inscriptions!

He was even tempted by this reward!

"Alright, everyone, disperse." The High Priestess waved her hand with a smile and teleported away.

Jinlin Grand Venerable frowned.

He had already stated that the Calamity Black Lotus was in the West Sea Crown Prince's hands and had been brought into the Central Land. How could the High Priestess be so capricious and disregard it?

Since that was the case, he could only handle it himself!

His gaze flickered, and he instantly teleported, heading directly towards Heilong Grand Venerable's cave dwelling.

How could Heilong Grand Venerable let him have his way? He immediately followed.

Bingxin Grand Venerable glanced at the Young Emperor and said, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

The Young Emperor had said from the beginning that he would leave after dealing with the creatures from the Underworld in the southern path.

But he had stayed until now.

The Young Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking around, his eyes flashing with thunder, and said coldly:

"When I just used the essence of the thunder path, I suddenly sensed someone here whom I've wanted to kill for a long time!"

Heilong Grand Venerable's cave dwelling.

They appeared deep within the cave dwelling, where a black throne shimmered faintly in the shadows.

This was precisely where Heilong Grand Venerable met Jiang Fan.

Soulshadow Demon Lord looked at the black throne, his eyes burning with fervor, and said, "Do you see that throne?"

"Within the throne is said to be a small world."

"Liuli and Lingshu are trapped within it."

"The small black snake in your hand can open it."

Jiang Fan was no stranger to similar small worlds.

Once, in the Soul Transformation ruins of the Northern Sea, there was a small world where Jiang Fan had obtained many Dragon Marrow Seeds.

Looking at the throne, Jiang Fan felt ashamed. Had he truly been so close to Li Lingshu and Liuli before?

He decisively took out the small black snake.

However, he had not forgotten Soulshadow Demon Lord's malicious intentions.

His eyes flickered, and Jiang Fan asked, "How exactly do I do it?"

Soulshadow Demon Lord said frankly, "It's very simple, just sit on the throne."

"This throne has a destructive restriction; no one except Heilong Grand Venerable can sit on it."

"Only by holding the small black snake can you suppress the restriction on it."

Jiang Fan looked suspicious and said, "Let's sit on it together!"

Soulshadow Demon Lord said helplessly, "You and I are now grasshoppers on the same string; we have both betrayed Heilong Grand Venerable. If I harm you, it would be detrimental to me as well."

"Come on! Time is urgent!"

He walked to the throne.

Jiang Fan dared not hesitate; Heaven knew when Heilong Grand Venerable would return.

Holding the small black snake, he came before the throne and pulled Soulshadow Demon Lord to sit down with him.

During this time, he remained wary of Soulshadow Demon Lord. If the Demon Lord showed any hesitation, Jiang Fan would instantly teleport away.

Fortunately, he showed no abnormalities.

As Jiang Fan sat down, a terrifying restriction erupted from the throne.

That was an attack from a Five Decays of Heavenly Beings cultivator!

But upon sensing the small black snake, the brewing terrifying restriction subsided.

Jiang Fan broke out in a cold sweat. If this restriction had activated, it would have been truly dangerous.

Immediately after, a layer of spatial power enveloped him.

The space before his eyes also changed!

What met his gaze was an enormous treasury, dazzling with countless treasures!
