Chapter 1329 – Great Perfection Boss
Only joking around?!
Naturally, that was not the case.
Compared to killing the Saintess, he wanted to obtain the Seven-Colored Divine Stone even more.
Besides, the Saintess was still here, so there was no need to rush to kill her this very instant.
Once he secured the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, every single one of these people would die!
Luo Tian’s back was soaked with cold sweat. He had been truly worried that the High Priest would choose to kill the Saintess. If that were to happen, he really would have been unable to stop it. This feeling of helplessness infuriated him.
“Honorable Emperor realm… Goddamn Honorable Emperor realm!”
The gap in cultivation levels was agonizing!
If he had the power to kill the High Priest, he would have done so without hesitation.
But he didn’t!
This sense of powerlessness filled Luo Tian with an immense rage.
His teeth were clenched so hard that cracking sounds could be heard.
The Black Robe High Priest said with a smile, “Kid, you claim to be the only person in this world who knows the location of the Ancient King. Yet, you can’t even get past this first floor. Shouldn’t you show a little bit of your capability to prove yourself?”
“Otherwise…”
Speaking to this part, the High Priest glanced toward Liu Zhan in the distance and sneered, “I can spare the Saintess’s life for now, but as for this fatty… hehe…”
He wasn’t joking.
From the High Priest’s gaze, Luo Tian could feel a thick, intense killing intent.
Liu Zhan gripped his Seven-Colored Divine Bow and shouted, “Boss, don’t worry about whether I live or die! At worst, it’s just death! I’ll be a hero again in eighteen years! You old ghost, besides threatening my boss, what else can you do?! If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me!”
The Black Robe High Priest didn’t spare Liu Zhan a single glance. He only stared at Luo Tian, the killing intent in his eyes deepening even further.
At that moment, Kailin and her paladins finished clearing the area and walked over.
Witnessing everything that had just happened, Kailin felt a stir in her heart. She felt utter disdain for the High Priest’s actions, but due to his status, she was forced to obey him.
Many of the paladins were also looking at Luo Tian.
Like Kailin, they were disgusted by the High Priest’s behavior.
He hadn’t lifted a finger against so many demonic beasts earlier, yet now he was turning on his own people. Could he still be considered human?
Knowing the High Priest’s methods all too well, Kailin said, “If you know how to open the switch to the next floor, just say it.”
Luo Tian naturally wouldn’t risk his brother’s life. He looked up at the mysterious runes on the ceiling and said calmly, “I noticed something just now. All the runes in the cave lead to one spot. If I’m not mistaken, once a specific item is placed there, the second floor will open automatically.”
He had known this from the very beginning.
However, Luo Tian never spoke up.
Originally, he wanted to use the demonic beasts to wear down Kailin’s paladins, but he later changed his mind and wanted to recruit them.
The Black Robe High Priest glanced at the surrounding runes and asked, “What do you mean by a specific item?”
“Fatty, support her,” Luo Tian called out.
He then put on an act like he was pondering something, looking east and west, scanning the ceiling and the runes on the ground. Maintaining an air of profound mystery, he said, “I can only understand a small portion of these runes. They mention something about a Spring Eye.”
“If I’m not mistaken, it should be this thing.”
Luo Tian walked to the very center, toward the location of a groove.
He held the still-churning Blood Spring in his hand.
The Black Robe High Priest looked surprised and muttered, “One of the Guardian Race’s generals, the Nether Blood Spring!”
“As expected…”
The High Priest looked at Luo Tian intently and said, “God’s Prophecy was right. You are the only person in this world who can lead me to the Ancient King.”
The Black Robe High Priest then said, “What are you waiting for? Put it in immediately.”
Luo Tian replied, “I’m afraid my power alone won’t be enough to open it.”
The High Priest glanced at Kailin and said, “Go help him. That useless expression of his is truly disgusting.”
“Yes!” Kailin walked over to Luo Tian’s side.
The two stood side by side with their backs to the High Priest. Luo Tian then began putting on an act, chanting nonsense like, “Mali mali hong, jili bala hong, quickly listen to my decree…”
It was a bunch of gibberish that no one could understand.
At the same time, Luo Tian sent a voice transmission to Kailin.
Kailin’s brow furrowed upon receiving it.
“I know you don’t trust me, but I have to say it. Once the High Priest gets the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, he will kill me and your entire paladin legion. His refusal to act earlier proves he doesn’t really care whether you all live or die.”
Kailin did not respond.
Her heart was not swayed by Luo Tian’s words. She was the strongest Paladin Commander in the Tribunal, and her legion was one of the most powerful in Eurasia. The Holy See valued them immensely, so it was impossible that they would be killed off.
Luo Tian also knew that a few sentences wouldn’t make Kailin become a traitor. If she were that easily swayed, she wouldn’t be worth much. He followed up by saying, “Just keep your eyes open and stay alert.”
Immediately after, Luo Tian quickly grabbed the Nether Blood Spring and placed it into the groove.
At the same time, Kailin crouched down and glanced at Luo Tian, whispering, “Can you really find the Ancient King?”
Luo Tian didn’t respond.
Once placed, the Blood Spring began to churn within the groove. Then, as if coming to life, the overflowing blood began to flow along the surrounding rune channels. It moved incredibly fast, and soon blood was even flowing across the ceiling of the cave.
Luo Tian gave Kailin a slight smile without explaining further. Instead, he turned to the Black Robe High Priest and said, “The entrance to the second floor is about to open. But if I’m not mistaken, the Guardian General of the first floor is about to appear. No one here is a match for him. If you don’t take action, we will all die.”
This was a subconscious intuition developed from his years of gaming.
If the Forest of Death was the first stage, then this was the second.
It was impossible for there not to be a stage boss.
After saying that, Luo Tian sent a voice transmission to Kailin: “Do you believe the Black Robe High Priest will save you?”
Kailin was momentarily stunned before replying, “Lord High Priest has his own plans. We have been loyal to the Church since birth…”
Before she could finish, the entire cave began to tremble.
The groove in the center of the cave ceiling was now full, and the two Blood Springs above and below began to resonate with each other. Behind Luo Tian, a barrier appeared, and space began to twist and rotate. A thick, eerie laugh echoed from within the void. “Hee hee… I didn’t expect that Old Ghost Nether to actually be killed.”
“However, not a single one of you should think about leaving this place alive. You will all die here!”
“Roar~!”
A phantom lunged out from the distorted space.
Immediately after, a massive werewolf king with exaggerated muscles emerged, instantly transforming into a humanoid form!
Without a doubt, this was a great perfection stage demonic beast! Its strength was comparable to an expert in the Honorable Emperor realm!
Terrifying to the max!
