Chapter 1182: Chapter 1047: The Last Venerable Position, Nether Venerate! Chapter 1182: Chapter 1047: The Last Venerable Position, Nether Venerate! Tu Zun blinked, unsure why Li Hong’s tone sounded a bit strange.
Moreover, there was a huge commotion outside that Li Hong couldn’t have missed. Logically, he should have been at the battlefield by now, there was no reason for him to still be here.
Tu Zun was about to ask questions, when suddenly a Demon Spirit sprang out from behind Li Hong!
Bloody claws streaked a chill light across Tu Zun Ke Yin’s chest. Tu Zun Ke Yin had no time to react, his protective barrier was shredded to pieces, his body sliding backwards!
The Holy Guards behind him couldn’t react in time either, not until Tu Zun Ke Yin crashed into the palace wall. Then, the Holy Guard Commander furiously glared around, quickly began chanting a spell, summoning their “Soul Pets”!
These Holy Guard Commanders, each having a Peak Emperor “Soul Pet”, summoned three Emperor Linyin Beasts in a flash between Li Hong and Tu Zun!
However, Li Hong’s Demon Spirit moved incredibly fast. Before the three Emperor Linyin Beasts could use their skills, they all bore deep bloody marks on their bodies!
“Li… Li Hong, what are you doing!” Tu Zun Ke Yin, clutching his chest, slowly stood up, furiously glaring at this man!
Li Hong didn’t speak, merely stood there directing his Demon Spirit to disable the soul pets of the Holy Guard commanders.
Liu Binglan, standing on the sideline, had not spoken. She calmly observed this once King of the World.
Now, this man appearing here and attacking them clearly indicated his intentions; he was preventing them from summoning the Seven Diagram Holy King!
In such a critical moment, the strongest support of the Three Great Palaces was siding with the Soul Alliance, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, adding insult to injury for the Three Great Palaces!
The once majestic King of the World, the strongest in the Soul Pet Palace, had betrayed them. How absurd and ridiculous, Liu Binglan no longer even had the mind to feel angry, a disquieting gloom had enveloped her heart.
“Ice Mist, leave this to me.” Tu Zun Ke Yin took a deep breath, his icy gaze clearly conveying his inner fury!!
Liu Binglan glanced at Tu Zun Ke Yin. Venerates possess special powers, and both Liu Binglan and Ke Yin had mastered it. Although releasing this power might not make Ke Yin a match for Li Hong, at the moment, all Liu Binglan could do was to try and awaken the Seven Diagram Holy King as swiftly as possible, or else tonight many strong ones from the Three Great Palaces might fall!
Liu Binglan didn’t hesitate any longer, accompanied by her personal Holy Guards, she went straight through the corridor towards the Main Hall.
Li Hong didn’t try to stop Liu Binglan, not even batting an eye as she passed by, just kept his gaze on Tu Zun Ke Yin, as if he was his only target.
Of course, in the past Li Hong was the strongest man in the Three Great Palaces, but now even if he really tried to stop Liu Binglan, he might not be able to do it.
Walking away twice deepened the heaviness in Liu Binglan’s heart.
After stepping into the Main Hall, Liu Binglan didn’t pause but went straight to the awakening Holy Temple.
The awakening Holy Temple itself had a very strong Barrier, and Liu Binglan only felt somewhat relieved after entering, as she was truly worried about encountering further obstacles.
Descending the stairs, golden light shone on Liu Binglan’s somewhat pale face, her steps hastened, her breathing quickened.
The “Soul Pet” Star River on Liu Binglan’s shoulder seemed to sense its master’s mood, emitting a soft cry to console her.
The entire Holy Temple was enormous, ancient, and solemn, with no columns for support; the golden light from the painted ceiling above shone down onto the altar at the lowest tier and refracted into every corner of the Temple, lavish and filled with a rich holy atmosphere!
This was the most important and secure palace of the Soul Hall, not even the Alliance Master could break its defensive barrier in a short time, so stepping in here meant absolute safety.
Yet, Liu Binglan still sensed a whiff of danger, right within the still and solemn Holy Temple!
“Who’s there? Come out!” Liu Binglan shouted angrily!
Her echo resounded back and forth in her ears, her heart extremely uneasy at the moment!
This sacred Temple was only accessible to the Venerate Inheritors; no other member from the Three Great Palaces, not even an Elder, could step in here.
And with its formidable defensive ability, it was impossible for anyone from outside to intrude into the Temple, including the Soul Alliance Master Ling Chan.
It was impossible for anyone other than Liu Binglan and Tu Zun Ke Yin to be here, yet Liu Binglan sensed someone else, a person standing on the altar, behind the golden sculpture!
“It’s no wonder you are the only one who reached the Soul Emperor-level; your Soul Sense is so keen.” A voice slowly came from behind the altar sculpture.
What astonished Liu Binglan was that the voice was melodious and pleasant, distinctly a woman’s voice!
Which other woman except herself could silently enter into the Main Hall in this world? At this moment, Liu Binglan’s heart trembled!
Liu Binglan’s gaze fixed on the altar, she saw the edge of the woman’s clothing first, then a stunning long-haired woman slowly stepped out…
A gown of immaculate white, radiant purple locks, a visage stunning as if touched by celestial grace, and a figure alluring and enchanting…
This was a woman so breathtaking that even Liu Binglan felt amazed. Yet the holy white and the seductive purple, the celestial aura and the appealing smile, made it unclear whether she was an incarnation of an immortal or an apostle of a demon spirit!
Liu Binglan was dumbfounded by the sight before her. It wasn’t just shock at how this woman could enter the Holy Temple unimpeded, but because Liu Binglan had seen her a long, long time ago!
Di Sheng Domain, that withered Holy Blue Flower, the light yet infuriatingly mocking laughter, as if a witch whose scheme had succeeded was ceaselessly taunting!
It was this indistinguishable Flower Demon from the human or the pet that had stolen her child’s First Spirit Soul, almost ruining his life!
To this day, Liu Binglan had not forgotten her appearance and had always tried to find her.
Yet, after so many years, Liu Binglan still had no clues. After this woman had defected, she had never appeared again.
Now she had appeared, at the very moment Liu Binglan was about to awaken the Seven Diagram Holy King. What did this all mean!
“What are you exactly!” Liu Binglan could no longer contain her anger.
“Just a woman like you. Oh, you must be busy now, I suppose you don’t have time to listen to me slowly explaining my identity, do you?” the Empress said with a sly smile.
Liu Binglan indeed did not have the time to listen further, and glanced at the Soul Pet Star River on her shoulder, preparing it for battle.
Seeing that Liu Binglan was about to make a move, the Empress floated down from the Holy Altar instead, stretching out her hand in a welcoming gesture, indicating that Liu Binglan could now go up to the Holy Altar to summon the Attempted Holy King.
Liu Binglan furrowed her brow; she had absolutely no idea what this woman was planning.
But indeed, she had no time to ponder and directly flew to the Holy Altar on Star River, immediately reciting the spell!
The Holy Altar was indestructible, and once Liu Binglan began the first spell, the Altar would form a barrier to protect the caster until she had completed the full incantation—despite knowing that the indifferent-looking woman nearby would not let her complete the spell safely, she had to try!
The Empress stood on the lower steps, silently watching Liu Binglan hurriedly reciting the spells, a smile curling the corners of her lips.
Liu Binglan anxiously glanced at the mysterious and frightful woman but continued the incantation.
However, what crushed her heart happened!
The first part of the spell had been completed, but there was no trace of energy fluctuation on the entire Holy Altar, not to mention a barrier formed to protect the caster—the opening of the Space Gate showed no signs of energetic fluctuation either!
No energy fluctuation meant the Totem’s summoning had failed, yet how could the meticulously precise Holy King Advent Totem fail under the correct spell usage? It was absolutely impossible!
At that moment, Liu Binglan was somewhat despairing, incredulously witnessing one unbelievable event after another. Everything seemed premeditated, yet why had she not noticed anything the day before?
Liu Binglan took a deep breath; her face was now utterly pale, overwhelmed by a sense of utter defeat.
“Actually, your generation’s Venerable Position is already virtually extinct, that little bit of holy power can’t change the inevitable decline of the Soul Hall,” the Empress slowly said at that time.
Liu Binglan didn’t speak, just tried to calm herself down.
She was convinced that it must be this woman before her whose actions had nullified the summoning, but then, the Holy Temple itself was impregnable, and the Totem had no concept of being destroyed; Liu Binglan couldn’t comprehend how she had achieved something no one else could.
“Tu Zun Ke Yin, mediocre in strength, can barely compete with the Dominator Level for a short period with the power of his position, a character hardly to be feared,”
“Chen Venerate Liu Binglan, that’s you, the once hope for the entire Soul Hall’s resurgence, it’s just a pity…”
“Zhou Zun almost lost his heritage, and the new inheritor Chao Lengchuan is probably just in name only, lacking the real power of Zhou Zun, I guess he doesn’t even know the Seven Diagrams Ancient Language, does he?”
“As for Nether Venerate…”
As she reached this point, the Empress’s eyes fixed on Liu Binglan, her speech deliberately pausing.
And at that moment, Liu Binglan felt as if lightning had struck, blasting her mind into blankness!!
Seeing Liu Binglan’s expression, the Empress then smiled and said, “It seems you’ve guessed.”
“Before signing the soul pact with him, I did another thing in the Di Sheng Domain. So now you can call me—Nether Venerate!”
