Chapter 653: Chapter 348 Don't panic, everyone; we have a master in the Spiritual Realm.
"Soul-devouring Enchantress!"
The Heavenly Venerable gritted his teeth as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Giggle, the big game actually knows about me; looks like you're someone with insights!"
The Seductive Witch covered her mouth and laughed, extending a tender white leg forward, alluring in posture.
"Your Seductive Witch Clan truly deserves death!"
The rage of the Heavenly Venerable could not be contained.
"Today, I shall slay you!"
With a flick of his Long Spear, he charged forward to kill.
"The Seductive Witch Clan?"
The Seductive Witch was evidently taken aback for a moment, then her smile became even more radiant.
"Such an insightful big game!"
Boom!
Pink light surged, and with a wave of her tender white hand, a zither appeared. The sound of its strings, ringing out, brought forth waves of attacks.
At this moment, the Seductive Witch seemed to be immersed in playing her zither.
The pink radiance reflected across the Heaven and Earth, colliding with the formidable aura of the Heavenly Venerable.
Finally, the Thousand Martial Lord and Fu Tianhai arrived.
"What's going on?"
Shocked by the great battle ahead, they couldn't help but be astonished.
Who could this enemy be, to battle the Heavenly Venerable?
"It's the Heavenly Grotto!"
Lord Leiyun spoke solemnly, explaining, "The Silent Snow Palace has turned into a Heavenly Grotto, and a strange woman called the Seductive Witch appeared, capable of devouring Divine Souls, unimaginably powerful…"
Soul-devouring Enchantress!
That's what the Heavenly Venerable said.
Moreover, from the Heavenly Venerable's few words, it was understood that the Heavenly Grotto was dangerous and powerful enemies could emerge.
As for how the Heavenly Grotto appeared and why such a strange enemy was there, it remained unknown.
And it seemed the Seductive Witch was a clan?
"It's a good thing the Heavenly Venerable arrived in time, or we would have been doomed!"
Emperor Da Zhou sighed and spoke.
"If the Seductive Witch is so powerful, can the Heavenly Venerable really subdue her?"
Fu Tianhai voiced his worries.
"Ha!"
The Thousand Martial Lord sneered with contempt, "Fu Tianhai, that is the Heavenly Venerable we're speaking of, summoned by our Thousand Martial Hall. Whatever power that Seductive Witch has, how can she be a match for the Heavenly Venerable?
"Once the Heavenly Venerable suppresses the enemy of the Heavenly Grotto, the layout of the Spiritual Realm should be reassessed!"
Lord Leiyun and the master of Yuling Mansion nodded, adding, "If even the Heavenly Venerable cannot prevail, our Spiritual Realm is truly in danger; no one can match the Seductive Witch!"
"I think we should prepare for the worst-case scenario."
Emperor Da Zhou said in a grave tone.
"Emperor Da Zhou, do you dare question the might of the Heavenly Venerable?"
The Thousand Martial Lord, confident with the support of the Heavenly Venerable, was filled with arrogance and gave Emperor Da Zhou a cold glance.
Emperor Da Zhou's face darkened, "Do not slander me; how could I possibly question the might of the Heavenly Venerable?"
"Then what do you mean by preparing for the worst-case scenario?"
The Thousand Martial Lord persisted with an unyielding disposition.
"Hmph, the Divine Bridge still needs time to open. If an unexpected event occurs, such as more powerful enemies emerging from the Heavenly Grotto, what then?
"I believe we should invite another venerable being to ensure absolute safety."
Emperor Da Zhou spoke with a grim face.
"Then let your Great Zhou open the Divine Bridge and invite the venerable being," the Thousand Martial Lord said with a sneer.
"My Great Zhou last opened the Divine Bridge nine years ago to send two Spirit Body Prodigies on their way; it is not yet time to open the bridge again!"
Emperor Da Zhou glared at the Thousand Martial Lord furiously.
The Divine Bridge could only be opened once every ten years, and Great Zhou had already done so nine years ago to send away Spirit Body Prodigies.
The name Hongzhou was related to the opening of the Divine Bridge; its rainbow light reflected across Heaven and Earth, hence its name.
However, those unaware of the secret merely thought it was an ordinary rainbow light, unique to Hongzhou's scenery, unaware that it was a bridge, a bridge that sent Spirit Body Prodigies away.
"Emperor Da Zhou speaks sensibly; we must take precautions!"
The master of Yuling Mansion nodded in agreement.
This Heavenly Venerable was invited by the Thousand Martial Hall, representing the backing power of the Thousand Martial Hall. Although every family had their own backing, there was some trepidation when facing a Heavenly Venerable that was not their own.
Moreover, the Thousand Martial Hall was known for being somewhat shameless.
What if their backing was also shameless? Wouldn't that spell disaster?
For example, their Spirit Body Prodigies being forcibly taken away...
"Heh!"
The Thousand Martial Lord laughed proudly.
The other members of the Transcendent Spirit Sect who wanted to open the Divine Bridge were too late.
The great battle would soon end, and the might of the Heavenly Venerable would sweep across the Spiritual Realm. They could only obey orders; with the Heavenly Venerable supporting the Thousand Martial Hall, they could accomplish much more.
The structure of the Spiritual Realm was not something anyone could disrupt.
His gaze turned cold as he glanced at Wu Tianan.
Wu Tianan did not take the Thousand Martial Lord seriously at all, focusing intently on the battle between the Heavenly Venerable and the Seductive Witch.
He wasn't too far from reaching the level of Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable.
But this half-step was a huge leap.
To the outside, it seemed only a half-step away, yet this half-step was as different as Heaven from Earth.
"This is the might of the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable, just as the elder mentioned, refining the Heaven and Earth Laws... The Spiritual Realm's Spirit Mechanism is insufficient to refine the Heaven and Earth Laws, hence the inability to break through."
Wu Tianan murmured to himself.
Xin Mengrou was also focused on the great battle, as she was only half a step away from Condensation Law herself.
Now, with the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable before her, it was an opportunity to glimpse the power of Condensation Law.
"Something's not right!"
Suddenly, Wu Tianan's brow slightly furrowed.
He couldn't shake the feeling that the Heavenly Venerable seemed to be at a disadvantage, slightly overwhelmed by the Seductive Witch.
He looked towards Xin Mengrou and found that she was looking back at him. Both felt a sinking realization in their hearts, sensing that things were going terribly wrong!
The Heavenly Venerable, overwhelmed by the Seductive Witch!
Clueless of this, the Thousand Martial Lord remained insufferably arrogant, his gaze covertly on Wu Tianan as if it wouldn't be long before this formidable foe would be subdued by the Heavenly Venerable!
