Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1716 - 1721: Seeking Help
Capítulo 1716: Chapter 1721: Seeking Help
But only Xia Liu’s expression was peculiar.
He was not pleased with the Dark Venerable’s spree in the Western Land.
On the contrary, a sense of fear spread within him.
As for why, he couldn’t explain.
Anyway, he was very worried.
Because this might impact the entire Kunwu Realm.
The Beast Clan was sealed years ago because the First Generation Dao Master didn’t want the Spirit Beasts to go extinct.
This time, the Dark Venerable’s abnormal behavior might be due to some special element.
He wouldn’t have pity for the Spirit Beasts.
After slaughtering the Spirit Beasts, his next target might be humans!
“Everyone stop speculating, I wasn’t acting with the Dark Venerable; he indeed attacked me back then, and if not for the armor, I might not be standing here now.”
Xia Liu didn’t want to have any association with the Dark Venerable.
When he absorbed the first strike, Xia Liu relied on the physical strength that surpassed the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation.
For the second strike, Xia Liu activated the armor’s power.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stand here today.
“What! How could that damned Dark Venerable wreak havoc in the Western Land?”
“Could it be he wants to show sincerity through this?”
“That shouldn’t be the case!”
“What is the reason behind all this…”
Upon hearing Xia Liu’s response, everyone was thrown into disarray.
No collaboration, but why did the Dark Venerable strike the Spirit Beasts?
To offer goodwill to the Human Race?
Hardly plausible, if he possessed the power to crush the Beast King and even annihilate the Beast Clan.
Why bother using such a means.
“Alpha, have you ever crossed hands with the Dark Venerable?”
Xia Liu inquired, “What was his state at the time?”
“I’ve clashed with him, and the Dark Venerable’s behavior was quite abnormal, like that of a puppet.”
The Beast King recalled carefully, quickly plunging into distress.
He had never seen such a crazed cultivator.
Moreover, the power within the Dark Venerable left him with lingering fear.
“A puppet?”
“What in the world is going on here? Could it be the Dark Venerable has succumbed to evil?”
Yi Xiu could only surmise this.
Only a cultivator who succumbed to evil would be controlled by the inner demon within.
Involuntarily, until all their essence blood depleted, turning into a dried corpse.
“Alpha, what did the Beast Clan offer in return when the Dark Venerable helped you to break the sealing?”
Xia Liu intended to trace the reasons back to the source.
Perhaps the Beast King could provide answers.
“I promised the Dark Venerable that as long as he helped me destroy the sealing, I’d let him enter the Western Land to absorb a force, one coming from the dark purgatory.”
“Could it be the Blood Darkness Power!”
Yi Xiu reacted immediately.
A long time ago, the Dao Primordial Dark Palace encountered a Dark Abyss.
Numerous cultivators attained the Blood Darkness Power within.
And previously the Dark Venerable served Xia Liu as his master.
He then revealed all his actions over the years.
Understanding the Blood Darkness Power within the Dark Palace.
As it seemed now, he wasn’t clearing it, but seizing the Blood Darkness Power for himself.
Moreover, lurking behind Xia Liu, waiting for the chance to ambush.
Bargaining with the Beast King, assisting the Beast King in formation breaking, and entering the Western Land to devour the Blood Darkness Power after success.
Once the situation became clear, Yi Xiu shook his head helplessly.
The greatest mistake of his life probably was allowing the Dark Venerable to grow.
If the Dark Venerable had been slain with one palm at the entrance of the Dark Abyss back then, perhaps the present humiliation wouldn’t have arisen.
“In other words, while the Dark Venerable was absorbing that dark force, he might have failed to control the power and instead was dominated by it.”
Xia Liu spoke thus.
“Let’s understand it this way, the Dark Venerable already lacks humanity, his eyes only see slaughter, only blood can excite him.”
The Beast King was already bloodthirsty, but witnessing the Dark Venerable’s cruelty.
He felt like a mere child before the Dark Venerable.
Can’t even compare to one of his arms.
“Trouble…”
Xia Liu sighed.
He fully understood the terrifying state.
Unrecognizable to family.
Even if his parents stood before him, they’d probably just be slaughtered.
Xia Liu himself had often entered that bloodthirsty state.
Everything appeared blood-red before his eyes, blood could boil the power within him, only continuous slaughter could provide stimulation.
What he worried about most was the Dark Venerable’s power.
Devouring the dark force in the Western Land, could it propel his Cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage?
If so, exterminating him would be akin to ascending the heavens.
“Beast King, based on your experience fighting the Dark Venerable, what would you gauge his Cultivation level?”
“If I guessed correctly, he should have the capability of someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage among the Human Race.”
The Beast King pondered carefully, finally divulging this heavy result.
“Foundation Establishment Stage!”
“Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”
Everyone present lost their composure.
Foundation Establishment Stage, for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, the Human Race hadn’t seen a Foundation Establishment Stage.
Now suddenly emerged one, and he was a Foundation Establishment driven into evil.
How could he possibly be annihilated?
It was over!
The Beast Clan surrendered, never expecting to face such an insurmountable enemy.
The Dark Venerable, though of human blood, had been controlled by the Blood Darkness Power, releasing him to the Western Land.
The Western Region would become a Mortal World Purgatory.
Unthinkable!
No one dared to think further.
Their eyes ultimately focused on Xia Liu and the Martial Emperor.
Kunwu Realm’s closest contenders to Foundation Establishment Cultivators were these two.
Among them, Xia Liu seemed the most likely.
Because during prior battles with the Beast Clan, he had once erupted in power.
The Beast King, who was nearly on par with Foundation Establishment Stage, was gravely injured by him.
How effective he could be against a human Foundation Establishment Stage, remained unknown.
“Daoist Xia, I am willing to bear the consequences for the previous wrongs of the Beast Clan, hoping you can step in to save what little is left of the Beast Vein…”
If not for utter desperation, the Beast King wouldn’t have reached this point.
Still not recovered, his injuries worsened after clashing with the Dark Venerable.
Now, any half-step Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator could kill him.
In order to preserve some lineage for the Beast Clan, he was willing to sacrifice his life in exchange.
Merely seeking assistance from the Human Race.
“If the Beast Clan bloodline continues, who knows if such large-scale wars will occur again in the future.”
“Indeed! Who can foresee matters centuries, or millennia later? I believe, we should seize this opportunity to wipe out the Beast Clan!”
“Right! Once all Spirit Beasts are exterminated, our descendants would no longer perish because of Spirit Beasts.”
…
Seeing the Beast King seeking aid from the Human Race.
The cultivators present clapped and shouted for slaughter.
Because they couldn’t let go of the anger in their hearts.
Witnessing their friends, fellow cultivators perish at the hands of the Beast Clan’s powerhouses.
How could they treat the now downtrodden Beast Clan amicably.
The Beast King’s submission was Heaven’s punishment upon the Beast Clan.
Their actions received retribution!
“Everyone, please calm down.”
“Daoist Xia, what are your thoughts?”
The Martial Emperor neither supported nor opposed the crowd’s notion.
Everything depended on Xia Liu’s decision.
“My idea is to aid the Beast Clan and eliminate the Dark Venerable succumbing to evil.”
“Ah! Why is it like this, the Beast Clan committed numerous heinous acts, killing countless Daoist Fellows, do we still need to help them?”
…
