Chapter 27 Vol 21 (1/2)

Book 21, The Bloodlotus Blooms, Chapter 27 – Eldest Disciple

“Unruly lanced sideways at hi of Flower-Fruit Mountain in any regard, but she still halted her assault on Ji Ning and instead waved her hand towards the Monkey King, intending to deal with him first

Dao with the oncoata the Buddha, the other s

THUD!

A deep, dull sound rang out It was the sound of the glea with Daomother Devilhand’s ivory-white hand Daomother Devilhand’s hand actually came to a halt It was actually forced to a halt by that staff!

“Eh?” Daoed as she stared at the distant Monkey King

“My junior apprentice-brother has only trained for a few short centuries, but he’s reached an incredible level of power It’s been countless years since the war that ended the Primordial Era Did you think that I, ol’ Sun, wouldn’t have h the air, closing in on her with his staff in his hands, filled with an unearthly aura of battle

“The monkey has reached such a level of power as well…our Sea some of our forces, and now it seems the Nuwa Alliance has hidden quite a few of theirs as well” The Lord of All Fiends secretly sighed to himself

The war that ended the Prio, after all It had been more than half a chaos cycle

After so many years, it was entirely possible that a formerly ordinary True God or Daofather could suddenly reveal the power of a top-tier Daofather, or perhaps even an overlord-class Daofather Both sides would only reveal their final trump cards in the final instant, at the critical moment which would determine victory or defeat, life or death Truerous cards of all

During the Endwar, a single slip-up or a single unexpected power-up by a e i their true power Even when they were forced to fight, they would only reveal the powers that the other side already knew about

“Back then, although the monkey was favored by Nuwa, he was stillan overlord-class Daofather,” the Lord of All Fiends mused to himself

Sun Wukong, the King of Flower-Fruit Mountain The shadow of Mother Nuwa could be seen behind him on his path to power

He had been born from the only piece of stone that Mother Nuwa had used to repair the heavens How could she possibly not pay attention to him?

He won his treasures froon Palace, apprenticed hiha, and in the end was provided with the personal tutelage of Mother Nuwa herself It could be said that Mother Nuwa focusedthisthe war that ended the Primordial Era, the Seamless Gate had been quite wary of thisah the ical treasures on hihts into the Dao, and so was just barely at the level of top-tier Daofathers in strength

Now, half a chaos cycle had gone past The Monkey King had truly transformed, and this was one of the reasons why Subhuti had summoned him

Subhuti had summoned three of his main disciples The eldest disciple, the woodcutter; the second disciple, Crazy Ji; the sixth disciple, Sun Wukong In truth, Subhuti actually had another Daofather under his command; his twelth disciple However, his twelfth disciple was et involved in battles at this level, and so Subhuti did not summon him

“This monkey is quite hard to deal with” Daonashed her teeth after their initial clash “Before Nuwa left the Three Realms, she definitely provided this monkey with some assistance”

Although Devilhand was skilled in battle, she was different from Everwood; Keeper Everas able to simultaneously tie down multiple overlord-class experts thanks to his defensive prowess, while her skills revolved around attacks! If she spent enough time and effort, she’d be able to wipe out the ht now The more time passed, the more major poould make it to this place

Their target for this !

Although the o becoet involved in the war for kar was clearly just an Empyrean God and True Immortal, but he was able to unleash an utterly unearthly level of power Now that he had an Envoy of All Things, he was actually able to unleash a level of power that was close to that of an overlord-class Daofather A monster like this…no matter what, they could not permit him to live

“Darklight, Shadowless, stop thisto me” Daomother Devilhand instantly sent mental instructions to the other two She didn’t want to allow the monkey to be able to distract her

“Alright” Swordfather Darklight had been airborne this entire tiht, he caused the black, sword-shaped strea towards the Monkey King that was charging towards the had no choice but to use his power to defend against the sword-light No one would dare to be overconfident when faced with Swordfather Darklight’s sword

Swish Daofather Shadowless quickly withdreell, turning to charge towards the distant Monkey King

“Ji Ning Die” Daoainst Lord Tathagata With her other, she struck out fro

“Dao this palm crash doards him

If he was in the Rahu Formation, he would probably be instantly annihilated However, using the Envoy made him much more powerful; more than ten Rahu Formations would be needed to match its power

“Soleheart stance” Ning’s tords simultaneously unleashed his ht black holes appeared before Ning When the terrifying, ivory-white palm lashed out towards him, it was blocked by the black holes Dao repelled bythe power of her strike

“Eh?” Daomother Devilhand frowned “Leafseizer”

Her ivory-white hand suddenly changed, unleashi+ng an even er, h she was holding a leaf between them

Whap!

The five fingers of her palht black holes And then, following a series of exploding sounds, the black hole vanished, with the fingers latching onto Ning’s Darknorth swords

“I stared in disbelief, his heart filled with shock and dread Dao technique had been si and beautiful It was a technique that was so complicated as to cause one to feel al it In fact, the technique was even ’s sword-arts, which hy it had been able to break through it

Perhaps Ji Ning was the number one expert of the sword in the Three Realms…but in palata, who also specialized in palhtly weaker than her

Whoosh

Daoh multiple different variations; the ‘Leafseizer’ stance, the ‘Flowerpicker’ stance, the ‘Wilted’ stance, and raceful, refined names, and Daomother Devilhand’s movements were quite beautiful as well However, the power of these techniques caused Ning to feel despair He ielding a pair of swords, but one of them had already been seized Twelve stances later, the Envoy-Ning was struck on the waist by the palround

“Come in” Daomother Devilhand suddenly produced a Protocosmic spirit-rope in her hands, and she quickly tossed it around the Envoy of All Things

Trapped inside the Envoy, Ning just felt a sense of powerlessness and reluctance Although he had already fought as hard as he could, he was still a bit weaker than Daost fiends who had once battled Mother Nuwa to a standstill for a short ti the war that ended the Pri one hand, but had been able to capture him after just ten or so stances

“If I was able to reach the fifth stage of swordforce, my sword-arts would become eventhe limits of the Heavenly Daos…perhaps in that situation, Daohed to himself

For the sake of seizing Ning as quickly as possible, Daomother Devilhand had showed no mercy whatsoever She had unleashedpal all of the major powers present to feel shocked “Daomother Devilhand’s techniques truly have become even more exquisite since the Primordial Era”
