Chapter 697: Divine Punishment
“Is that it? It ended so quickly?”
“That figure in the crimson pearl was so arrogant. I thought it was a formidable opponent. Who would have thought that it would be so easily defeated by that white python? It’s a bit disappointing.”
“Exactly. I thought we were in for a fierce battle, but it ended so abruptly and inexplicably.”
“Considering that, the White Python still has almost all of its combat power intact. It won’t be easy for us to take advantage of the chaos.”
“…”
The people who had come to take advantage of the chaos now wore grim expressions. Some even considered fleeing.
After all, the strongest among them this time was only at the peak of the Unity Realm. With the level of power Bai Suzhen had displayed, a single glance from her could be fatal.
“Your contracted beast is actually that strong?”
In the dense forest, Yan Xia stared at Bai Suzhen who was still floating in the air. Her eyes were sparkling with admiration.
However, Su Jingzhen did not immediately react.
His eyebrows remained furrowed, as if he was still trying to understand the situation.
From Bai Suzhen’s earlier agitation, it seemed that the opponent must have been quite formidable and couldn’t have been defeated so easily.
“Let’s wait here for now. I have a feeling that this isn’t over yet.”
Su Jingzhen was no longer the novice he once was. He had his own instincts regarding such situations, and they were often correct.
Yan Xia’s eyebrows furrowed again.
But in the next instant, she saw the virtual image of the White Python that Bai Suzhen had maintained within the formation suddenly explode, releasing an extremely brilliant crimson light.
“Ha ha ha, I laugh at your inexperience, you damned beast.
You claimed that you wouldn’t give me a chance, but you were too late.
I have successfully fused the Nirvana Pill. Today I am reborn, and your fate is sealed.
You have two choices: 1, I need a mount. Become my mount, and I will forgive your past transgressions.
I will even grant you some blessings
Use your blood as the sacrifice for my rebirth and return!”
As the crimson light dissipated, a towering black figure stood in the void.
He looked at Bai Suzhen with contempt and laughed wildly.
At this moment, the aura emanating from him was finally felt by everyone on the Clear Light Ridge.
Beyond the Tribulation Realm!
Beyond the Celestial Being Realm!
He was a cultivator of the Great Perfection Realm!
Even his appearance made Su Jingzhen and the others suspect that the Great Perfection Realm might not have been his peak in the past.
To have reached such a realm immediately after rebirth, one could only imagine what level he had reached at his peak?
“I knew this guy wouldn’t be that easy. A cultivator of the Great Perfection Realm, I wonder if Suzhen can handle him now.”
Su Jingzhen’s face showed a hint of concern.
At this moment, he even felt the urge to go to the Enlightenment Cliff to find Shen Yifeng.
Shen Yifeng had easily dealt with Yan Ling, who was at the late Celestial Being Realm, with only two thousand years of cultivation.
In Su Jingzhen’s opinion, if Shen Yifeng went all out, he should at least have reached the Great Perfection Realm.
As long as Shen Yifeng and Bai Suzhen worked together, suppressing this guy shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
After all, he was afraid that Bai Suzhen might fail here.
But the distance to Enlightenment Cliff was huge, and it wasn’t certain if he could find Shen Yifeng in time.
This made him even more anxious.
Even if he used all his remaining points into cultivation, the most he would be able to reach was the high stage of the Body Sovereign Realm.
If the opponent was only a Tribulation Realm cultivator, he would dare to fight, but with such a huge gap in realms, he couldn’t bridge it with mere bravery.
“Don’t be impulsive. I can see that your contracted beast is quite formidable. Even if it can’t suppress that mysterious guy this time, it won’t lose its life. Preserving yourself is the most important thing!”
Yan Xia seemed to sense Su Jingzhen’s thoughts and warned him with a serious expression.
“I know. I wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. Going up now would only be an obstacle for Suzhen. Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
As he said this, he felt a bit helpless.
He had only just begun to cultivate seriously, but the opponents he faced were getting stronger and stronger.
He couldn’t help but feel a sense of crisis.
“I need to show more affection to Sister Yaoyao and Xuening when I return. Even though the points I am earning every day are already quite substantial, it still doesn’t feel like enough.”
Su Jingzhen felt a wave of emotion and his gaze shifted to Yan Xia beside him.
In his heart, he was somewhat confused. He had interacted with Yan Xia quite a bit, and Yan Xia had always been loyal to him.
However, there had never been a tendency for an empathic bond to form between them.
Otherwise, Yan Xia would have been an excellent source of points.
Of course, deep down, he also vaguely understood that this might have been predetermined from the beginning.
After that arranged meeting, Su Jingzhen should have realized that the two of them could only be partners or maintain a superior-subordinate relationship; they could never become the most intimate of people.
While these thoughts swirled in his mind, Bai Suzhen on the other side remained silent.
Her sapphire eyes revealed a glimmer of fighting intent, and at that moment, the fierce demon energy emanating from her body intensified even further.
It even reached a level that was not much weaker than that of the mysterious black-robed figure.
“Level 9? No, it’s already level 10!
It seems like heaven has given me a truly extraordinary gift this time.”
As she said this, Bai Suzhen’s gaze had a hint of fervor, but there was also a subtle seriousness.
“I don’t know what era of civilization you are from, but what is past is past.
No matter how much you try to create chaos, you can’t change the facts.
You will just add another day of remembrance for yourself.
You are very confident, so today I will break your confidence.”
There was no trace of mockery in Bai Suzhen’s sapphire eyes.
In fact, the reason this creature was able to fuse with the Nirvana Pill and transform into its current physical form was because Bai Suzhen had deliberately allowed it to happen.
Even though she knew that Su Jingzhen might have concerns, after all, she wanted to see how remarkable the peak strength of this creature would be.
As it turned out, it did not disappoint her, but it did not exceed her expectations either.
As soon as she finished speaking, every scale on Bai Suzhen’s body once again glowed with a strong light.
The brilliant light of the Dao patterns condensed in front of her.
In an instant, it formed into a translucent blade.
She slashed it directly at the black-clad figure.
“Divine Punishment!”
