638: Chapter 206_1 638: Chapter 206_1 Cao Zhen had seen many Earth Immortal Realm masters in action; back then, Gu Chengyu and Yun Qi had even used the power of the Earth Immortal Realm to help him resist the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, it was only when he truly faced the Earth Immortal Realm that he realized how immense the gap was between him and it!
Li Ke and Ling Xi were both among the top ten Immortal Generals of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty; in other words, they were among the top ten in terms of strength among all Golden Core Stage cultivators in the entire dynasty.
Yi Sheng possessed the Fire of Departure, and Li Lingwei was an entity of the Wind Fire Tribulation.
Even when the five of them joined forces, they were easily suppressed by their opponent!
The adversary was in the Earth Immortal Realm, and even if they fled with all their might, they would likely not escape.
Now, their only hope was the Divine Skills Bead.
He could only hope that the bead the Vice Sect Master had given him was strong enough.
Back when he and Lan Pili took the envoy group to Capital City, the True Person Sect Leader had not yet fallen into slumber, and she had given Lan Pili a Divine Skills Bead.
However, Lan Pili was only at the Core Formation Stage then, which was far too weak.
At that time, even though he had the combat prowess of a Golden Core Stage cultivator, he was merely at the Core Formation Stage and was also no match for Golden Core Stage cultivators of slightly higher cultivation.
He was too weak then.
They wanted to unleash the Divine Skills Bead, and they had to burn their own life force as a price to release its true power.
With his current level of cultivation, he no longer needed to burn his life force to unleash the full power of the Divine Skills Bead.
In Cao Zhen’s hands, a transparent, spherical bead the size of a fingertip emerged.
In an instant, the air around them stirred violently.
An overwhelming presence spread, as if it could destroy the entire space—the terror of it was palpable.
Elder Yang felt the pressure of an enormous force bearing down on him like a raging river, and a look of terror suddenly appeared on his venerable and Daoist face.
“Divine Skills Bead!”
That presence was not something that could be possessed by a Golden Core Stage cultivator; it belonged to an Earth Immortal Realm master’s Divine Skills Bead, and not just any Earth Immortal Realm master’s, but an exceedingly formidable one!
Even he was frightened by that presence, feeling as if the bead’s fall could gravely wound or even kill him.
Watching Cao Zhen’s actions, Elder Yang swiftly retreated backwards.
Although he was not from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, he had always paid attention to it, especially to the All-Immortal Martial Meet organized by the dynasty.
After the few individuals had displayed their Divine Skills and unleashed their Golden Cores, he had guessed their identities.
Cao Zhen was a reincarnated being of Great Ability, and the others were among the top Golden Core Stage cultivators.
With the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth looming near, it was impossible for the Hundred Peaks Sect to send these individuals out without preparing life-saving measures for them.
This Divine Skills Bead must have been given to them by one of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s top masters.
It surely contained exceedingly terrifying Divine Skills within.
Although he was at the Earth Immortal Realm, there were strong and weak Earth Immortals, and he had no confidence he could withstand that master’s Divine Skills; he had no choice but to retreat.
Retreating?
Cao Zhen observed Elder Yang’s backward movement but did not throw the Divine Skills Bead; instead, he turned his head and sped away into the distance once more.
In the rear, Elder Yang, seeing the others’ retreat, stopped retreating and pursued them once again.
Indeed, he was afraid of the Divine Skills Bead, but the problem was, the fish before him were too big.
To kill two of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s top ten Immortal Generals and a reincarnated powerful figure of the State Preceptor, if he could capture Cao Zhen, not to mention that he might obtain some treasures of the reincarnated being,
even just bringing them back would earn him an extremely generous reward.
This was a big catch he could not let go.
Looking at the fleeing figures, a ferocious glint appeared in his eyes; although he was wary of the opponent’s Divine Skills Bead, he did not need to approach close to them to act,
Doesn’t he also have Divine Skills?
These people not knowing to scatter and run but fleeing together was exactly the opportunity he needed!
Elder Yang raised his hand, ready to act, but the next moment, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
In the distance, several figures were rushing towards them at great speed.
Three people: a young lad, a young man, and a middle-aged man.
Chasing fast behind them was a familiar figure.
Elder Xue?
Is he pursuing them?
Elder Yang’s face immediately showed surprise, and then he swiftly realized, his eyes revealing a chilling intent to kill!
If he could catch Cao Zhen, he would definitely find a way to wring out where Cao Zhen’s treasures were hidden and not just the rewards for bringing the others back,
but all the merits would be his alone.
However, Elder Xue was from the same Great Lai Country as him; if Elder Xue was involved, they would have to share the merits, and what about Cao Zhen’s treasures?
Were those treasures of a reincarnated being of Great Ability to be shared equally with him?
Elder Xue must die!
Elder Yang made up his mind in an instant, pointing at Cao Zhen and others, and shouted, “Elder Xue, hurry, help me capture these people; they are the ten great Immortal Generals and the State Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty!”
Does Cao Zhen have the Divine Skills Bead?
Let Elder Xue go first; let him die to that Divine Skills Bead, and then he could reap the benefits as an opportunist.
