Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1041 - Till His Last Breath

The elders of the Noon Grass sect watched as the Dao Shells of the Gu Legion members cracked.

They were honestly stunned by the power shown by Elder Pigu and even Supreme Elder Hua Langya wasnʼt sure heʼd be able to reach the same level of power. Though he was also injured quite a lot among the elders, as the initial assault had been blocked by him.

~Sigh~

ʼIf elder Pigu can live after this, he would have been able to reach great heights…ʼ Hua Langya thought with pity.

All the elders knew that Elder Pigu had used a self sacrificial technique in exchange for power. Right now, perhaps the strength of Elder Pigu was already at the Dao Treading realm. 

Though he couldnʼt be considered a true Dao Treading realm cultivator, as he didnʼt have a Dao Embryo. At most, only the pure power exerted by him could reach that level. Additionally, the flames he was using were a level above the intermediate rank , it was the advanced rank Qi flame.

Something like this was not easy to achieve and perhaps in the entire Great Zhou Empire, the number of people who could ignite such flames could be counted on one hand. The ones that were greatly known for it were the patriarch, and the supreme elder of the Rainbow pill sect, the patriarch of the Light Harmony sect, both of which were pill sects. 

Then there was one elder of the Sky Precepts sect who could do the same. Finally… now there was Elder Pigu who had achieved the same. But it came at great cost. Burning his very life force was the price to ignite such flames.

But its power was evident…

One had to know that they needed Advanced Rank Qi flames to even think of refining Pseudo-immortal rank pills. 

Such pills were very rare in the empire and only a handful had ever been made. The complex part was that there were people who had the advanced rank Qi flame to refine a pill like that, but they lacked Immortal grade spirit herbs.

The heat of the flames could melt even Immortal Grade metals, so the Dao Shells of the Gu Legion members were nothing.

~BOOM~

”ARGH!!!!” One of the Gu Legion members couldnʼt withstand the backlash from their Dao Shells exploding and directly died.

The other one pulled out all his trump cards, using talismans after talismans, while also popping pills like a maniac before he was able to keep his life. But even then, his Dao Shell was gone and so was his cultivation base.

The ones behind him were slightly better, but even then there were great cracks on their Dao Shells. Only the two weakest Dao Shell realm Legion members were fine now. But this was only pertaining to their Dao Shell. Their skin and robes were still burned from the steam.

Large boils could be seen on their skin and face, some of which started to pop from the rippling air.

”Haaaa…. Haaa… Haaa…” The Gu Legion members panted, hard for breath, and felt woozy.

Now the two weakest Dao Shell Gu Legion members were the strongest among the six. With the four in front of them falling behind in cultivation base. 

”We—” The Gu Legion members wanted to say something, but Elder Pigu didnʼt give them a chance.

”DIE!” He decisively threw out two more wisps of the deep blue flames and burned the remaining six Dao Shell realm Gu legion members to death.

By now, Elder Piguʼs left fingers were all gone and only the index and middle finger of his right hand were left.

His aura had also fallen by half and it was evident that he wouldnʼt be able to last much longer.

~Pant~

Elder Pigu took deep breath as he stumbled lightly.

”Elder Pigu!” Supreme Elder Hua Langya quickly helped him.

”You need to rest Elder Pigu, youʼve done enough.” Elder Sun said with great concern.

”No…. I canʼt… not at this point…” Elder Pigu said between his breaths.

He looked at the two wisps of deep blue flames on his renaming fingers for a second before standing up again.

”I need to use them… perhaps weʼll be able to get rid of another chunk of those vile beasts.” Elder Pigu said.

”Youʼll die, Elder Pigu, you canʼt do this!” Elder Sun protested.

”Iʼll die even if I donʼt do it… at least this way, Iʼll die for a cause Iʼm dedicated to…” Elder Pigu said.

And before anyone could speak again, he flew away towards the peak where all the Disciples were holed up.

”FOLLOW HIM! We canʼt let him do this alone!”

”Yeah, we need to save the disciples too!” 

The elders flew after Elder Pigu, but were still slower than him. With the boost Elder Pigu had, his speed was blinding. In just under a minute, he was already at the peak and gazed at the scene.

”YOU SHALL ALL DIE!” He shouted with rage as he saw a few disciples dying.

In the time that the elders were fighting, the Gu Legion members had managed to create an opening in the barrier.

”Huh?” The Gu Legion members were surprised by the sudden arrival of the young man with an old voice.

The Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member though felt his instincts shouting, and he felt danger.

”NO! GET BACK!” he immediately shouted to his subordinates.

Unfortunately for him, he was a tad too late.

~WHOOSH~

A single wisp of flame shot from Elder Piguʼs middle finger and ran through the Gu Legion members like an ocean tide. Wherever it went, piles of ashes fell to the ground.

The Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member anxiously tried to retreat, but Elder Pigu wasnʼt gonna give him the chance.

”Iʼll kill you even if I have to use my last breath!” Elder Pigu said as he shot the final wisp of deep blue flame towards the man.

~WOOM~

The Dao Threading Realm elder summoned several spirit tools to defend as a great explosion happened.
