At the same time, the swollen body began to show an aura of destruction that was almost catastrophic. As its physical body collapsed, it locked onto this space, as if it wanted to perish together with Luo Tian.
The self-destructing body of the demonic dragon and the dragon claw that struck with all its might locked down all of Luo Tian's paths. Everyone stared wide-eyed, hoping to witness Luo Tian's fate.
However, the youth atop the dragon's head merely glanced at Ao Xing beneath his feet, showing no concern for the impending crisis. He simply spoke indifferently:
"You dare call yourself Ao Xing?"
With a calm and collected demeanor, he raised his right hand and gently clenched it in the direction in front of him, his ancient and majestic voice resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
"Withering away!"
In an instant, time and space seemed to be frozen, and the entire Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto Heaven seemed to be plunged into a gray and white scene.
The will of death descended upon this narrow cave, falling upon the true spirit hidden deep within the body of the demonic dragon.
Then, a terrified sound came from the mouth of the dragon that was about to self-destruct.
"No!"
"impossible!"
"No!"
A desperate wail escaped Ao Xing's lips. The pride that the Lord of Lingxu Sea had retained seemed to crumble rapidly under those two plain words, and death, a hundred times more terrifying than any calamity, descended upon him.
The radiance of the true spirit began to dim silently, and the powerful divine soul crumbled like weathered rock. The dragon's body, which had been expanding continuously, seemed to have all its life force drained away.
The scales lost their luster, the bright red flesh turned into a lifeless, pale white, and the hard dragon bones became like sand and gravel. In just a few seconds, the once enormous dragon was reduced to an empty shell.
Finally, as the agonizing howl of relief ended, the enormous dragon's body slammed heavily into the ground. There was not a trace of blood in its withered body; all the essence within it had been drained.
All was silent. Everyone stared blankly at what had happened in an instant, many still unable to process what had just transpired.
The fact that an Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal, a powerful demon who stood at the pinnacle of the Xuanhuang Great World, could perish so easily completely shocked everyone.
Although Luo Tian destroyed Jade Emperor Peak with a single blow, people were not too afraid of him, except for being wary.
That attack, though terrifying, didn't prove much. Which of the Golden Immortals present didn't have some special resources? If they used those treasured artifacts, they could achieve a similar effect.
However, everyone witnessed Luo Tian's entire attack. Without the support of powerful magic weapons or terrifying secret techniques, he simply killed an Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal with a single strike.
At this moment, the apprehension in everyone's hearts had turned into fear.
Just then, Luo Tian turned to look at the group of Golden Immortals watching from the sky, his brows slightly lowered, and said:
"I don't like people standing on my head."
As soon as the voice rang out, an invisible pressure descended, and the Golden Immortals flying in the air were slammed into the ground by that pressure.
The Golden Immortals disregarded their disheveled state and none dared to rebuke Luo Tian's actions.
Luo Tian stood atop the enormous corpse of the demonic dragon, while they could only look up at him.
Luo Tian calmly swept his gaze over the various Golden Immortals, whose expressions differed, and then spoke:
"You wanted to find me, and now I've come."
The Golden Immortals fell silent for a moment, none daring to speak.
Because of the Supreme One's unusual behavior, they had indeed made some guesses before, and Luo Tian might be the anomaly in that news.
But given the strength Luo Tian has displayed, whether he is an anomaly or not is completely irrelevant now.
The ability to kill the most powerful Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal in the Xuanhuang Great World is such that even if such a person is an anomaly, no one can restrain him. The idea that killing an anomaly would postpone a calamity of ten thousand years is just a joke.
Faced with such a vicious and ruthless person, they would rather go through the calamity, hoping to find a glimmer of hope for survival.
The atmosphere remained silent. Luo Tian did not speak again, and the many Golden Immortals present were in a state of panic and did not know what to do.
Some Golden Immortals began to turn their gaze to the masters of this place, the two most outstanding Supreme Elders of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, Yu Qian and Yu Kun.
When Yu Qian and Yu Kun saw Luo Tian arrive, they had already anticipated this outcome.
After all, no matter how strong an Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal is, can he compare to that white jade giant elephant that is almost the size of the entire Jade Emperor's Grotto-heaven?
Even such a colossal elephant fell into Luo Tian's hands; a mere Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal is nothing in comparison.
More and more Golden Immortals realized Luo Tian's identity and turned their gazes toward Yu Qian and Yu Kun.
Under the watchful eyes of so many Golden Immortals, Yu Qian and Yu Kun also felt a sense of pressure.
After a moment's hesitation, Yu Qian stepped forward and spoke to Luo Tian:
"Your Excellency, everyone present is here to participate in the Tribulation Transcending Ceremony on your orders. Please..."
Did I give you permission to speak?
Luo Tian's indifferent voice rang out from the ruins, interrupting the renowned Seven Tribulation Golden Immortal's intention to continue speaking, and Yu Qian's face turned awkward.
With his gaze fixed on the seemingly otherworldly Seven Tribulation Golden Immortal, Luo Tian's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"I only gave you some face before because of Yin Changsheng. Do you really think you're something special?"
Yu Qian's face flushed red, and his ethereal body trembled slightly.
As the most senior elder of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, even when the two Eight Tribulation Golden Immortals, Supreme and Ao Xing, were at odds with him, they maintained a certain level of respect for him.
But now, his attempt to make amends was met with Luo Tian's crushing rebuke. Even out of respect for Luo Tian's strength, Yu Qian couldn't help but speak up:
"Our Jade Emperor Pavilion went to great lengths to help you spread the Tribulation Crossing Ceremony, and even suffered losses due to misunderstandings with fellow Daoists as a result. In the end, you not only did not express any gratitude, but also insulted me."
Even though my Jade Emperor Pavilion cannot compare to yours, it will not tolerate your arbitrary trampling!
"Go to great lengths? To help?"
Without even glancing at Yu Qian, who was flushed red, Luo Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter, his voice full of sarcasm:
"Your Jade Emperor Pavilion wanted to use my power to elevate your own status, but in the end, you backfired and ended up being besieged by everyone. Is this what you call help?"
The outward appearance of grandeur was ruthlessly torn away, making Yu Qian's already ruddy face even paler.
Originally, they could have done Luo Tian a favor, but because of their own ulterior motives, it turned into mutual exploitation. Not only did they lose the favor, but they also got into a lot of trouble. It was entirely their own fault.
Yu Qian was speechless, but Luo Tian's words were not yet finished.
"If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. After all, the agreed time was today, and I arrived a few hours late."
The responsibility for this matter lies with me, so it's not unreasonable for me to give Jade Emperor Pavilion some face.
I can even ignore the fact that you leaked my identity.
"but!"
Luo Tian's voice turned icy cold, and the mocking smile on his face vanished.
"In the Jade Emperor's Palace, the demon race proposed a blood sacrifice to the Yin clan in order to find me, and none of the powerful Golden Immortals who were worshipped by the human race stopped them."
Even you, the Supreme Lord of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, showed no intention of stopping it, allowing the demon race's Golden Immortals to sacrifice themselves to the Yin race in order to protect yourself.
The last person to speak out for the Yin clan was one of your descendants.
The Yin clan itself had little connection with him, but Yin Changsheng was now working for him, so he naturally wanted to help Yin Changsheng get justice.
In fact, the Yin clan was just an insignificant player in the whole affair. As a member of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, if Yu Qian insisted on protecting the Yin clan, it would only take a word.
However, Yu Qian was unwilling to take any risks and allowed the Yin clan, under the influence of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, to be sacrificed by Jia Wu. This behavior thoroughly aroused Luo Tian's disgust.
Compared to Ao Xing, Luo Tian despised those who appeared dignified and powerful but lacked any sense of responsibility and only cared about self-preservation.
Looking at the pale-faced Golden Immortal kneeling on the ground, Luo Tian said in an icy voice:
"I'm not killing you just to save face for the Jade Emperor Pavilion."
"After this, you should kill yourself!"
Chapter 303 I Can Help Him Save Face! (Two-in-One)
After saying that, Luo Tian stopped looking at Yu Qian, whose face was pale.
Just then, Yin Changsheng and He Laodao, who were following behind Luo Tian, also slowly descended from the sky.
Luo Tian's earlier actions had caused too much of a commotion, so to avoid being caught in the crossfire, they didn't approach him immediately. They only followed him again after the situation temporarily calmed down.
He Laodao glanced at Yu Qian with a complicated expression, but did not say anything.
But when Yin Changsheng learned the whole story, his eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.
In fact, as early as when Yin Changsheng advanced to the Ninth Tribulation Celestial Immortal, the two so-called Supreme Elders of the Jade Emperor Pavilion had already tried to capture Yin Changsheng and force her to reveal the secret of her ninth tribulation.
If Wen Qiuyue hadn't intervened, and if Yin Changsheng, though hidden in the Jade Emperor Pavilion, hadn't had a deep foundation within the sect, the two Supreme Elders wouldn't have dared to act, only symbolically granting him the position of Mountain Guardian Elder.
After that, the two Supreme Elders continued to suppress Yin Changsheng and the Yin Clan, whether intentionally or unintentionally. This is why the Yin Clan, despite being within the Jade Emperor Pavilion, did not have a stable foundation.
Yin Changsheng did not want to undergo the tenth tribulation, but instead prepared to advance to the Golden Immortal realm. However, the sect imposed various restrictions on Yin Changsheng, an elder, in every way.
Even just days before, when the news that Yin Changsheng was an anomaly had just spread, when the Suspended Mountain Xiao Zhan Ancestor and Haoyue Sea Xu Kun Daoist came to the Jade Emperor Pavilion, Yu Qian and Yu Kun did not hesitate to sell Yin Changsheng. Sending three Golden Immortals to forcefully invite Yin Changsheng was enough to prove Yu Qian and Yu Kun's attitude.
If Luo Tian hadn't been at Yunlai Peak at the time, Yin Changsheng would have been sold to two Eight Tribulation Golden Immortals by Yu Qian and Yu Kun as a commodity.
It was precisely because of the hostility from the two Supreme Elders that Yin Changsheng did not have a very good impression of these two so-called Supreme Uncles.
However, Yin Changsheng himself believed that he had done right by the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
The improvements to the Jade Emperor Pavilion's Starlight Guiding Array came from her, and she also perfected part of the sect's protective array. She refined the Tribulation-Crossing Pill to enable disciples who were unable to advance to True Immortal to overcome the Tribulation of True Immortal.
Despite their various contributions to the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the two Supreme Elders did not take them seriously.
Simply because his attempt to seize Yin Changsheng's secrets failed, Yu Qian regarded Yin Changsheng as a thorn in his side. Faced with the coercion of various forces, Yu Qian chose to abandon the entire Yin clan without uttering a single word of rebuttal.
Such behavior has thoroughly disappointed Yin Changsheng.
Shifting his gaze from Yu Qian, Yin Changsheng addressed Luo Tian earnestly:
"Thank you!"
Yin Changsheng understood that although Luo Tian's nominal wife, Yin Qianyu, was a member of the Yin clan, their blood ties had long since faded due to the lack of contact over thousands of years.
Luo Tian's intervention on behalf of the Yin Clan was an act of kindness towards her, and Yin Changsheng naturally wouldn't be ungrateful.
Luo Tian glanced at Yin Changsheng, who was looking very serious, with some surprise, and couldn't help but smile.
"Just a little thing."
After saying that, he stepped over Yu Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, and walked towards the corner of the ruins.
Upon seeing this, Yin Changsheng first nodded slightly to Wen Qiuyue as a greeting, and then quickly followed Luo Tian.
Do you really think that old bastard Yuqian would commit suicide?
