Chapter 1525: Chapter 1524: The Supreme Elder Who Fights With His Life

[Seeking rewards!!!]

The Tripod Sect Supreme Elder was forced to use the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill” by Young Master Xinyang, and once this ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill” was unleashed, it instantly shattered the Divine Rune Formation set up by Young Master Xinyang. If it weren’t for the divine power emitted by the five-colored Divine Fan in Young Master Xinyang’s hand, protecting him, he might have already been annihilated!

Regarding the origin of this Treasure, not to mention the younger generation of Martial Artists, even the older generation rarely know its origins. Only the Battle King Qin Kongdao and Dian Wei at the high platform of the Ancient Dojo know a bit about this Treasure. According to Qin Kongdao’s assertion, this battle was won by Young Master Xinyang of the Xinyang family. Despite having superior strength and combat experience, the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder suffered from severe internal ailments, approaching the point of demise. It can be said that he used his life to unleash the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill”, which could only be sustained for a short time. And Young Master Xinyang holding the five-colored Divine Fan, which is also a powerful Treasure, should help him endure for a period.

Bang!

With a loud bang, a powerful force descended, causing Young Master Xinyang to almost collapse to the ground, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. The arrogance and invincibility in his eyes were gone, replaced by shock. Perhaps Young Master Xinyang never imagined that despite his flawless plan and the powerful five-colored Divine Fan at hand, killing the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder would be a simple task. Who would have thought that the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill” unleashed by the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder was far stronger than when Xiao Yuan used it?

”You brat, your arrogance and overestimation will cost you your life!” The Tripod Sect Supreme Elder, with blood continuously dripping from his mouth, walked towards Young Master Xinyang with a sense of reckless disregard for death.

At this moment, Young Master Xinyang found it difficult to maintain his arrogance because the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill” of the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder indeed suffocated him. Death was drawing closer, bringing forth an ominous foreboding!

Rumble!

The Tripod Sect Supreme Elder was covered in blood, seemingly about to burst apart, with signs of an impending bodily explosion. Other Martial Artists were startled, thinking the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder would use absolute strength, particularly the unfathomable ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill”, to slay Young Master Xinyang, never to appear arrogant again. Who would have thought, at this critical moment, the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder seemed on the brink of death? What was going on?

”What’s going on? Why does the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder suddenly seem like he’s severely injured?”

”The signs of the body about to crack suggest impending annihilation; even the body is about to explode!”

”No, I understand now, why did the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder keep saying that even if he shatters, he must take Young Master Xinyang with him? It’s not because he lacks confidence in defeating him, but because he’s already nearing the end of his lifespan, with his energy exhausted!”

”That’s not the only reason; it’s just one of them. The main reason is that, given the severe ailments within his body and his nearing end of life, forcibly using the ’Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill’ is essentially suicide!”

Several Supreme Elders from other traditions realized the situation and understood why the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder attacked with full force, aiming to kill Young Master Xinyang in one strike. He knew this battle might cost him his life; even if Young Master Xinyang lacked the strength to kill him, using the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill” would also lead to his death.

Splurt!

A powerful pressure descended again, the Golden Cauldron hovering over Young Master Xinyang’s head wasn’t just an ordinary object; it was the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill”. Prior to this, Xiao Yuan had already used it to shock kill Ye Tianchen, and now, after the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder unleashed it, its power seemingly increased multiple times, almost possessing the tendency to destroy the heavens and earth.

Even with the divine power of the five-colored Divine Fan protecting him, Young Master Xinyang’s blood surged, almost causing him to collapse to his knees. Grinding his teeth, he swung the five-colored Divine Fan, and a powerful force surged forth, striking towards the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill” above his head.

Boom!

The two forces collided, unexpectedly, Young Master Xinyang’s swing with the five-colored Divine Fan almost sent the Golden Cauldron covering his head flying away, leaving the Tripod Sect Supreme Elder stunned. He forcibly supported his body, stepping towards Young Master Xinyang, because with each step forward, the Golden Cauldron above Young Master Xinyang’s head would descend a bit further, enabling the ”Tripod Sect’s Profound Skill” to thoroughly kill Young Master Xinyang!

”Old thing, you’re nearing death and still so stubborn, don’t you know when to die!” Young Master Xinyang said through gritted teeth, enraged.

”You brat, you’re too arrogant and overbearing, giving me the chance to kill you and saving the Tripod Sect from a great threat. I’m near my end, but thank you for providing me such an opportunity, hahaha!” The Tripod Sect Supreme Elder laughed as he spoke.

Young Master Xinyang furrowed his brows harshly, his venomous eyes wishing he could immediately tear the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect to pieces. He hadn’t expected to be careless. He initially thought with such a clever Divine Rune Formation, plus his ability to wield some of the Five-Colored Fan’s power, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect couldn’t possibly be a match for him. It was the perfect opportunity to establish his prestige and make a name in the three major realms of the Ancient Martial World. Who would have known, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect was not only powerful but was also a candle burned down to its wick. Even if he wasn’t a match for Young Master Xinyang, he could fight desperately, and killing Young Master Xinyang before his own death would be quite an achievement. This left Young Master Xinyang in endless frustration. No longer daring to show a trace of arrogance, he could only hope the Five-Colored Fan in his hand could block the power of the Golden Cauldron descending overhead; otherwise, his life would be at stake!

Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!

In succession, Young Master Xinyang swung the Five-Colored Fan in his hand, unleashing three powerful forces attacking the Golden Cauldron above his head, trying to smash it away. If he could knock the Golden Cauldron away, he’d avoid the immediate danger of being obliterated, and he could then deal with the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect. With the Golden Cauldron’s pressure on him now, Young Master Xinyang didn’t dare rashly use the Five-Colored Fan against the Supreme Elder, fearing a careless mistake might cause the pressure above to crash down before he could kill the Supreme Elder, obliterating him entirely. His only reliance was the Five-Colored Fan!

Buzz!

But unexpectedly, just as Young Master Xinyang hoped the three forces he summoned with the Five-Colored Fan would surely flip the Golden Cauldron above, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect struck first. He spat a mouthful of Lifeblood onto the Golden Cauldron and harshly declared, ”Blood sacrifice to the Golden Cauldron, shock and kill all around!”

Thud!

This time, the pressure emanating from the Golden Cauldron directly sent Young Master Xinyang flying, his whole body covered in blood, his eyes filled with terror. He never expected the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect could enhance the Golden Cauldron’s power again, even using such desperate means.

”Is the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect seeking death? Already heavily injured and yet consuming his Lifeblood like this!”

”He’s already a candle burned down to its wick, couldn’t hold on much longer. Even without depleting his Lifeblood, he was bound to die here, so it doesn’t matter if he’s seeking death!”

”Young Master Xinyang was too arrogant. To provoke a Supreme Elder already as good as dead, he’s seeking death!”

”Young Master Xinyang is far too arrogant. That Five-Colored Fan in his hand is probably extraordinary. His death benefits us greatly!”

Whoosh!

At this moment, Young Master Xinyang had no other choice. The pressure from the Golden Cauldron above was immense, something he couldn’t withstand with mere physical strength. He could only rely on the Five-Colored Fan in his hand. Now, with the Golden Cauldron’s power multiplied several times, sitting idly by would surely lead to death. Immediately, he poured all his strength into the Five-Colored Fan and hurled it at the Golden Cauldron above, hoping to block and shatter it!

Crash!

As the Five-Colored Fan was activated and charged toward the Golden Cauldron, a half-visible silhouette emerged. It wasn’t a human warrior but seemed like an Immortal Beast Divine Bird, with an overwhelmingly terrifying aura, stopping the descending pressure of the Golden Cauldron, creating a stalemate.

”What is that? It looks like there’s an Immortal Bird within the Five-Colored Fan!”

”Incredible! Could it be an Immortal Bird nurtured inside?”

”How could an Immortal Bird be nurtured? If so, the Xinyang family would have defied heaven long ago!”

”It must be the Five-Colored Fan’s extraordinary origin, possibly related to an Immortal Bird!”

Ah!

With a great shout, the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect saw Young Master Xinyang had indeed blocked his Golden Cauldron with the Five-Colored Fan. He let out a wild roar to the sky and charged at the Golden Cauldron above, colliding directly into it. His whole body exploded into a mist of blood, completely absorbed by the Golden Cauldron. In an instant, while originally the Golden Cauldron and Five-Colored Fan were evenly matched, after the Supreme Elder merged his life into the Golden Cauldron, its power surged, suppressing the force of the Five-Colored Fan, and slowly descended, turning everything to ash...
