CHAPTER 720: CHAPTER 271: DOMINATING THE ARENA, CIVILIZATION FIRE_2

This time, bringing him along to explore the Cosmic Light Fragments was in preparation for his reputation.

But in the end, he didn’t gain fame; instead, he became a side dish.

Is it truly that Divine Prohibition failed?

At this moment.

The Void split again.

A young man surrounded by four-colored light appeared before everyone’s eyes, dimly as though shattered.

Someone recognized him: "Is that Hong Quan from the Five Virtues Palace?"

At this moment, even the Heavenly Venerables standing deep in the Void showed surprise.

The young people who appeared before weren’t as "weighty" as this one.

Five Virtues Palace is known to have the most ancient True Saint Dojo, even older than Heavenly Saint Lake, claiming to possess all Five Virtues, invincible, and every five colors combined renders nothing without purification.

And Hong Quan is the rising star of this generation of Five Virtues Palace, gathering the four virtues colors within the Heart Image Realm, only one step away from manifesting the Five Colors, Heaven Opening.

Did he also lose?

"Kid, how many moves did you withstand?"

Suddenly, someone in the Void spoke.

A cold snort sound echoed, a blurry silhouette in the depths of the Void stepped forward, revealing as one of the Heavenly Venerables attending today.

He stepped forward to lead Hong Quan away, while the person who spoke earlier in the Void grunted, took several steps backward, sending a great ripple beneath him.

Others watched coldly, following the narration of the Heart Image Warrior who emerged earlier, this junior from Five Virtues Palace didn’t seem to withstand many moves.

"Regardless of whether he is Divine Prohibition and which force he belongs to, he will eventually come out."

Suddenly, with cold eyes, Xiang Qingyu from Blood Demon Palace spoke.

Someone said indifferently: "If he is indeed a disciple of Heavenly Saint Lake, what can you do? Would you dare to eliminate a Divine Prohibition seed?"

"Heavenly Saint Lake?" Xiang Qingyu sneered, "If he was truly a Divine Prohibition Warrior from Heavenly Saint Lake, why would not a single Protector accompany him today? This matter seems too strange, it is best to capture and interrogate him thoroughly to avoid taunting Heavenly Saint Lake’s Taoist friends’ reputation."

Someone showed a cold smile, this calculation was certainly well planned.

But soon, someone agreed with this statement, though there was disagreement over the personnel ownership issue.

Shan Li watched coldly.

He understood perfectly what this group was planning.

If Heavenly Saint Lake truly produced a Divine Prohibition and yet didn’t send any Path Protectors, they wouldn’t hesitate to capture him.

This concerns the competition beyond the Eight Realms.

Heavenly Venerable.

Dao Ancestor.

True Saint.

Though Heavenly Venerables and Dao Ancestors are rare, when placed within the vast count of Three Thousand Yanfu, they aren’t few and must frequently face the wear of tribulations, often causing "loss."

Only the recently transcended True Saints genuinely overlook the ancient times, untroubled by great tribulations, almost unwavering.

As currently known Supreme True Saints, every one of them was a Divine Prohibition being, hence came the rumor that only Divine Prohibition grants the possibility of breaking through to True Saint!

Divine Prohibition represents the limit.

And every Divine Prohibition being throughout history has almost always borne great secrets.

"Quan, what happened to you?"

The Heavenly Venerable from Five Virtues Palace brought Hong Quan close and asked gently.

"I..."

Hong Quan slightly shook his head, finally regained his composure, his face sank and questioned:

"Master Ancestor, do we truly have a friendship with Heavenly Saint Lake?"

"Why ask this?"

Hong Quan took a deep breath: "I nearly went through a life-and-death tribulation earlier, I merely used the Four Gods Divine Light to entrap him, my moves were restrained, but he wasn’t polite to me; every strike aimed at my fatal points!"

The Heavenly Venerable soothed: "Perhaps, the Dao Lineage of the person you encountered has some entanglements with ours."

Hong Quan said indignantly: "But I didn’t even have a chance to mention I was under your tutelage, and he nearly killed me with one strike!"

The Heavenly Venerable was silent.

Both the Five Virtues Palace and Heavenly Saint Lake are ancient True Saint Dojos, with Dao vein networks close enough to be considered an Innate Alliance.

Yet it seems...

This junior from Heavenly Saint Lake appears unfriendly and acts too tyrannically.

Hong Quan, recalling the final scene, felt a mixture of anger or fury besides lingering fear.

The last memory was of a silhouette backlit, overlooking him with a gaze of regret.

That person said—

"I am very disappointed."

"All of your Divine Skills and methods are top-notch, yet you remind me of a junior brother’s words, there is no invincible skill in this world, only invincible people."

"I didn’t see what I wanted in any of you, making me inevitably underestimate the Three Thousand Yanfu."

"Is it that you are too weak, or are the true powers of Three Thousand Yanfu absent today?"

Hong Quan clenched his fists, feeling an overwhelming, complex emotion in his chest.

By the end of the battle, everyone was fleeing, the whole Heaven and Earth seemed beneath that person!

"Master Ancestor..." Hong Quan whispered, "Is this person Divine Prohibition?!"

The Heavenly Venerable from Five Virtues Palace shook his head, tactfully said:

"You still haven’t discerned the limits of a Divine Prohibition being."

He lifted his head, gazing at the entrance of the Cosmic Light Fragments, his deep eyes said:

"Whether he is Divine Prohibition will be known once he emerges."

...

...

As the battle reached its end, the whole realm of Cosmic Light gently hummed, natural Dharma patterns appeared in the sky, and infinite immortal light wove across the Earth.

Everything was too abnormal, including this star of carnage who suddenly emerged claiming he was from Heavenly Saint Lake.

With Hong Quan of Five Virtues Palace swept off the stage, the four directions quivered in fear; none dared step forward again.

"Thanks for lending the blade."

Seeing no one dared to challenge again, Ji Jingqiu unexpectedly found the Sword Master still on the field, eyes confused. He casually tossed the long sword before the Sword Master, fulfilling the lending and returning.
