Chapter 996: 978 Blood Dragon Venerable - How terrifying is he really? _1
"Venerate of Heavens! This person sought to destroy our Jialouro clan, which is why I dared to disturb the Venerate of Heavens from his slumber," Jia Nan replied with utmost respect and reverence.
"Ridiculous! Has my Jialouro clan declined to such an extent that the mere presence of a Deity Venerate of the Third Heaven demands the summoning of my worn soul?" Garuda Heavenly Venerate said with a cold, indifferent smile, unchanging in his demeanor.
"Third Heaven of Divine Venerate? Venerate of Heavens, could you be mistaken?" Upon hearing this, Jia Nan and the others were all in utter shock.
How could it be possible that a practitioner of the Third Heaven of Divine Venerate could simultaneously combat their six Saint Lords and three million Jialouros? Had these words not come from Garuda Heavenly Venerate himself, they would have never believed it, even if it meant death.
After all, a Deity Venerate of the Third Heaven was an existence they could crush with just one hand.
"Indeed, others may not see it, but I have seen it clearly," Garuda Heavenly Venerate said coldly. "He is indeed only at the Third Heaven of Divine Venerate, but his strength is far from it—at least at the Imperial Venerate Realm!"
"What!" Everyone was thoroughly astounded!
A Third Heaven of Divine Venerate with the strength of an Imperial Honor Rank was a truly terrifying matter!
"Boy, who are you!" Garuda Heavenly Venerate finally showed a trace of emotion, for even he could not comprehend how a Third Heaven of Divine Venerate acquired such Imperial Venerate Level power!
"Mortal," Chu Qin replied calmly. Even though the person before him was supremely powerful, he knew that one should never lose momentum, no matter the circumstance.
"What an audacious mortal!" Garuda Heavenly Venerate replied. "Your achievement is enough to revolutionize the understanding of the Infinite Heavens, but alas, this is where it ends. I shall personally send you to the Nine Serenities Abyss!"
"I'm afraid you don't have the ability," Chu Qin said coldly.
"Hmph!" Before the words of Garuda Heavenly Venerate could fade, he suddenly teleported in front of Chu Qin.
At that moment, everyone's jaws dropped. How had Garuda Heavenly Venerate accomplished this?
They knew that Chu Qin was still within his own Buddha's Light Barrier!
Even Chu Qin felt a sudden panic deep inside. This Garuda Heavenly Venerate might just be the strongest opponent he had ever faced in his life.
Faced with such an antagonist, Chu Qin's fear was but a fleeting shadow; in the next moment, both the Primordial True Sword and the Heavenly Inferno Demonic Staff appeared in his hands, thrusting simultaneously towards Garuda Heavenly Venerate.
However, Chu Qin's attack, capable of shattering stars, was easily intercepted by a black barrier emanating from Garuda Heavenly Venerate's remaining soul.
The Primordial True Sword and the Heavenly Inferno Demonic Staff lost their power at that moment, unable to pierce through Garuda Heavenly Venerate's barrier.
Chu Qin even felt his Divine Power being continuously drained from his body, absorbed into Garuda Heavenly Venerate's form!
But trying to withdraw the Primordial True Sword and the Heavenly Inferno Demonic Staff was an incredible effort!
"The Primordial True Sword from the Infinite Immortal Domain, the Heavenly Inferno Demonic Staff from the Great Thousand Buddha Nation!" Garuda Heavenly Venerate recognized the Holy Artifacts in Chu Qin's hands at a glance and smirked coldly, "It seems you've had quite the fortune! Unfortunately, even if the Infinite Heavenly Venerable and the Dachien Buddha Lord were to come, you would still face certain death today!"
As Garuda Heavenly Venerate finished speaking, his body radiated with black light, and at once, Chu Qin's Divine Power began to pour unceasingly into Garuda Heavenly Venerate, bringing agonizing pain from deep within Chu Qin!
Yet, Chu Qin remained silent, enduring the pain while seeking an opportunity to counterattack!
"Chu Qin!" Seeing the pain on Chu Qin's face, Li Ji and Luo Tianyong were deeply distressed.
Jia Nan and the others, on the other hand, showed a cunning and venomous smile!
"Garuda, you're quite arrogant, daring to touch my people," however, at that moment, an ancient voice echoed from within Chu Qin's body.
This voice, like the tolling of a Primordial Era bell, reverberated across the entire Void, and yet, it only shook Garuda Heavenly Venerate's eardrums.
In other words, only Garuda Heavenly Venerate could hear this voice hailing from the Primordial Era!
"What is this!" Upon hearing the voice, Garuda Heavenly Venerate felt a terror carved into his soul being roused!
Garuda Heavenly Venerate, a figure who had traversed the heavens, had never feared anyone—except one person. To him, that person embodied eternal terror and prohibition, and that was the Blood Dragon Venerable!
And at this moment, Garuda Heavenly Venerate's complexion seemed bewildered as if he had seen this forbidden, terrifying existence!
"You, who are you!" Garuda Heavenly Venerate exclaimed in terror.
"A mere Azure Bird of past days now dares to be presumptuous in front of me?" Blood Dragon Venerable followed with a cold sneer.
Garuda Heavenly Venerate, now wholly convinced of the presence of Blood Dragon Venerable, immediately gathered his faculties and knelt before Chu Qin, pleading, "Spare my life, Venerable Dragon, please!"
Seeing this scene, whether it was Li Ji, Luo Tianyong, Jia Nan, or even Chu Qin, they were all somewhat surprised. However, upon hearing the words "Dragon Venerable," Chu Qin immediately thought of Blood Dragon Venerable!
"Kaluo, I'll give you a chance to atone," said Blood Dragon Venerable indifferently, "Kill all of the Jialouro, and all will be considered settled! Otherwise, you know what will happen."
Upon hearing this, Garuda Heavenly Venerate slowly rose from his seat and turned around.
Then, Garuda Heavenly Venerate teleported right in front of Jia Nan.
"Venerate... Venerate of Heavens!" exclaimed Jia Nan and the others, immediately bowing deeply.
However, the next second saw Jia Nan's neck firmly grasped in the hand of Garuda Heavenly Venerate!
"Venerate of Heavens!"
The sudden turn of events left all the Jialouro elders and the myriad Jialouro utterly stunned!
Li Ji and Luo Tianyong were completely dumbfounded.
What on earth was happening?
Why had Garuda Heavenly Venerate suddenly attacked his own descendent?
What sorcery had Chu Qin used to make Garuda Heavenly Venerate... switch sides?
"Venerate... Venerate... Venerate of Heavens!" gasped the one who was now held aloft by the hand of Garuda Heavenly Venerate.
"To be able to die for me, you can be considered loyal!" Garuda Heavenly Venerate said coldly, looking at Jia Nan.
The next second, Garuda Heavenly Venerate's palm tightened, and Jia Nan's soul ascended to the Nine Heavens!
"Ah!" Seeing Jia Nan being crushed to death by Garuda Heavenly Venerate, all of the Jialouro panicked!
Then, Garuda Heavenly Venerate took the spear from Jia Nan's hand. The spear flew swiftly and struck dead a Jialouro elder!
Immediately after, Garuda Heavenly Venerate's gaze targeted the remaining four elders!
"Venerate of Heavens, Venerate of Heavens!" The four Great Elders shouted in panic, while clumsily retreating at high speed, hiding amidst the Kaluo Army.
Garuda Heavenly Venerate quickly gave chase, and during the pursuit, countless Kaluos died from his corrupt aura!
Because, the command of Blood Dragon Venerable was for him to kill the entire Jialouro Army!
What followed was a dramatic scene, for the Garuda Heavenly Venerate, who had originally been summoned by the Jialouro, mercilessly began a slaughter among them!
The cries of sorrow and screams of the Jialouro echoed across the entire sky.
"Is that you, Venerable Dragon Predecessor?" Chu Qin asked in surprise, while secretly inquiring.
"Yes, indeed!" Blood Dragon Venerable replied calmly.
"What have you done to him?" Chu Qin asked, somewhat surprised.
"Nothing much, just a single sentence to have them kill each other," replied Blood Dragon Venerable with a slight smile.
"One sentence!" Chu Qin became even more unsettled.
"There's no need to be too astonished," said Blood Dragon Venerable with a light smile, "Do you know how he became known as the Venerate of Heavens?"
"Um?"
"By stepping on the blood of all his clansmen, and sacrificing countless Jialouro, he became known as Garuda Heavenly Venerate," Blood Dragon Venerable replied, "So, this is his true nature."
Chu Qin immediately understood why Garuda Heavenly Venerate was so ruthless towards his descendants.
It turns out that he was truly an utter beast.
However, what Chu Qin couldn't figure out was, just who was Blood Dragon Venerable, to have a word that could cause Garuda Heavenly Venerate to be so obedient.
