Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 485 Kill
Although the Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan is now only a head, his primordial spirit remains. As long as he can escape, he can fully recover and may not even suffer much damage.

Despite his fear, the Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan forced himself to remain calm and said, "You cannot kill me! I am the Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan, protected by the divine avatar of the Quasi-Emperor Ancestor. If you kill me, you will surely face annihilation!"

The Prince of Light smiled slightly and said, "Having come this far, do you still think I'd be afraid of this?"

"I told you, since I came here specifically to kill you, I must have been absolutely certain of success. Why don't you believe me?"

As he spoke, the Divine Child of Light took out a jade platform, on which were engraved extreme array patterns. The patterns were ancient and weathered, quite different from the array patterns of today, and clearly came from an ancient venerable from a mythical era.

His followers had already gathered around and handed the quasi-royal-level divine sword to the Son of Light.

The Divine Child of Light activated the supreme array patterns in the array platform to power this quasi-royal weapon. Instantly, the divine blade shone brightly, and the deity within it fully manifested, almost completely reviving.

Amidst the terrified expression of the Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan, the Son of Light slowly swung his sword, and a condensed sword aura shot out, pointing towards his Immortal Platform.

Faced with this catastrophic threat, a vast aura suddenly revived within the Great Saint's platform of the Crimson Scale Clan, revealing a powerful Crimson Scale Clan cultivator who had fully transformed into human form, but upon closer inspection, one could see that every inch of his skin was marked with crimson Dao marks.

Although it was merely an avatar of divine consciousness, the aura it exuded still rendered everyone present almost powerless to resist.

If it weren't for the protection of the Supreme Dao Array Pattern, the Son of Light would probably have lost the strength to launch an attack.

The quasi-emperor avatar spoke up, "What kind of wicked creature dares to attack the Great Sage of my Crimson Scale Clan? Are you tired of living?"

Upon seeing the avatar appear, the Son of Light immediately activated the array patterns with all his might, making the divine sword even more imposing, and then swung the sword to unleash a beam of light.

The blade of light shot out like a bolt of lightning, seemingly capable of severing the Milky Way and eclipsing the sun and moon.

The avatar of the Crimson Scale Quasi-Emperor was immediately alarmed and hurriedly tried to defend himself, but unfortunately, he was just an avatar with limited strength and could not withstand the power of this attack, which was equivalent to the full strength of a Quasi-Emperor.

He said defiantly, "Don't let me find out who you are! Otherwise, I'll make you suffer a terrible death!"

Immediately, he was annihilated by the blade, completely destroyed, without even a trace of his divine consciousness escaping.

Seeing this, the Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan also fell into despair. He said, "Do you think that by killing me, this matter will remain unknown? There are no secrets in this world. Sooner or later, my clan's Quasi-Emperor will find out, and then you will all die without a burial place!"

The Son of Light handed the divine sword to his followers, telling them to put it away, and then said, "Guess why I chose this battlefield? This is your Crimson Scale Clan's territory, and it will be discovered soon."

The Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan said, "Are you provoking my clan? You are too arrogant."

The Divine Child of Light took out a great sacred weapon, a divine pot entirely forged from ethereal azure gold. This was his natal magic weapon, the Divine Refining Pot.

Then he laughed and said, "Since things have come to this, I'll let you die with a clear head. Your Crimson Scale Clan was ambushed by the Xuan You Clan and suffered heavy casualties. The battlefield is nearby."

"Tell me, since we've shown no signs of life, whose fault will your death be?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "What? The Xuan You Clan actually dares to do this? You want to frame them for my death, but this can only be concealed for a while, not forever. Sooner or later, it will be exposed."

The Divine Child of Light said, "Your two races are about to go to war. Without you, your Crimson Scale race will be much weaker and will likely suffer heavy losses in the short term. If your two races want to cease hostilities and begin negotiations, they will need to fight at least a few rounds. Only then will they be able to discover that your death was suspicious. And this period of time is the gap I want."

"I don't need to hide your death for a lifetime, I just need to buy myself a few decades or a few centuries."

"In a few decades, I can lead my people away from here, so that your Crimson Scale Clan can't find me; in a few hundred years, perhaps I can become a quasi-emperor, and your Crimson Scale Clan will be insignificant."

"So, considering how much I've said, you can die in peace. You were the first Great Saint Realm cultivator my Refining God Pot ever refined, and I will remember you."

The Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan looked on in despair, but he was powerless to do anything. He could only say viciously, "My clan's Quasi-Emperor will definitely find you and kill you! He definitely will! I will watch you die in hell!"

Ignoring his dying curse, the Son of Light activated the Divine Refining Pot and absorbed him into it. Divine light flashed, instantly refining him to death. A crimson scale-like rune was quietly engraved on the surface of the pot.

The Son of Light bowed to his followers and said, "We owe a great debt to you brothers for your help this time."

"Brother, what are you saying? We've always been of one mind, sharing weal and woe. Your affairs are our affairs. What should we do next?"

Many of these followers also came from large clans like the Crimson Scale Clan, so they were always lawless and unrestrained, and they only felt excited about this kind of thing.

After all, this is a challenge against a potential emperor.

The Divine Child of Light said, "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll trouble you brothers to continue using the Heaven-Deceiving Array to conceal your presence and use this divine blade to eliminate all traces of aura here."

"Brother, is this really necessary? We've done everything perfectly; there's no way that old quasi-emperor could find us."

Upon hearing this, some of the followers did not take it seriously.

The Prince of Light sighed, "If it were just me, it wouldn't matter. Even if he found out, what could he do? I'm worried that my training isn't intense enough to make me a true emperor in this era. But my people can't afford any unexpected events. For their sake, I must buy myself some safe time."

Upon hearing this, the followers fell silent. However, since the Son of Light was so loyal and valued his people, they would naturally reap rich rewards in the future and benefit their own people.

Therefore, this is a good thing.

So the followers began to clean the place, erasing all traces of it.

Immediately afterwards, they left this place with the Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern and returned to the ancient star where the Light Clan was located.

The Child of Light was the first to reveal himself and return to the Clan of Light.

Over the years, the Chief of the Light Clan had clearly aged considerably. He took the hand of the Light God Child and asked, "God Child, how are you?"

He didn't quite grasp the fact that the Son of Light had also become a Great Sage, so even after witnessing him suppress the Great Sage of the Crimson Scale Clan, he was still filled with worry.

The Prince of Light smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's already dead, and you won't be able to find me for a while."
