I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 272

The Lifeless King was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

He had created the Netherworld Yellow Springs domain, and it was linked to his divine consciousness.

He instantly felt it the moment the core of the domain was broken.

Of course, it was just a small matter that the domain was broken. He only needed a bit of time, and he would be able to create another.

The problem was that the treasure within that domain had been exposed!

The Lifeless King had purposely created the Netherworld Yellow Springs domain to cultivate this special treasure and refine it into his personal weapon. It had been cultivating in that domain for thousands of years.

He had wanted to take advantage of the Heavenly Demon day to complete its cultivation, never expecting this ambush attack by the sacred grounds right at the critical moment!

“Damn you Divine Firmament and Jade Lake Sacred Grounds. How dare you steal my precious treasure! You have gone too far!”

The black aura on the right side of the Lifeless King roiled with rage. Scriptures from the reverse sutra appeared again.

The scriptures turned increasingly malevolent, exuding a bizarrely terrifying aura.

“Seven Kill Sect Master, Broken Army Sect Master, Ravenous Wolf Sect Master. The situation has changed. Listen to my decree. Go to the Yellow Springs domain to kill the enemy.”

The three subordinates exchanged looks. They seemed to realize that the Lifeless King was in a bad mood, and it was best to comply.

“Yes, my king!”

A tunnel opened in space, and the three figures stepped into it.

At the same time, within the Immeasurable Ancient State…

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Jade Lake Sacred Leader seemed to have felt something. Their eyes hardened.

“Have they finally appeared?”

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader's moon-shaped weapon glowed. “They actually have three Sages. This Seven Kill Sect is no simple target!”

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader lightning and heavenly aura rippled gently. “With Tian'er around, it would actually be strange if the Seven Kill Sect did not bring out the big guns.

“Tian'er must have attained some amazing, great fortuitous opportunity. Otherwise, those Evil Spirit sect members would not be so anxious.”

It was indeed the right decision to bring Shen Tian along.

Experience and risk were the quickest ways for a Son of Providence to get stronger!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled, and his form suddenly dissolved into countless lightning rays before disappearing completely.

It's that precious time again for me to save the day. Tian'er, go ahead and find your treasure in peace. I will handle all those bad men who are after you.

'You dare to try and harm the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Lucky Saint? You are just looking for a one-way road to hell!

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader couldn't help feeling startled by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's single-minded pursuit.

She often heard rumors that Saint Shen Tian was very important to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. Today, she finally saw that the rumors were not at all an exaggeration.

But on second thought, this should come as no surprise. Shen Tian's miraculous experiences were truly outstanding. His luck was indeed extraordinarily good. So much so that the Jade Lake Sacred Leader felt that if Shen Tian was willing to join the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, they might consider making an exception to their “no male disciples” rule just for him.

At the very least, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader believed it was very unlikely that their old spinster elders would reject him. After all, this Divine Firmament Saint was extraordinarily handsome. Handsome men usually enjoyed special privileges.

“Sigh… The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is so lucky to have gotten this Saint. So enviable!”

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader sighed before morphing into moonlight. She had decided to join forces with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader to stop those Evil Spirit Sect Sages.

At the very least, she had to establish some good ties with Divine Firmament Saint Shen Tian.

Shen Tian had no idea that there were a bunch of Sages who were so affected by him.

He stared blankly at the brilliant red flower, which had fallen onto his Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.

In contrast, Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus' eyes were blazing. “The moment this flower appeared, all the Hurricane Lilies closed up in respect. Could this be… the Hurricane Lily King?”

Although the Netherworld Yellow Springs domain was full of blooming Hurricane Lilies, those flowers were not real. They were just part of the illusion.

Only the unopened flower bud in Shen Tian's hand was the true divine treasure ranked third on the Spiritual Wood List—the Hurricane Lily King.

Legends had it that this Hurricane Lily King was the most premier flower across all worlds. It had two states, red and white.

This flower existed between life and death, between illusion and reality, between yin and yang—and had all sorts of mysterious powers.

Even their distant cousins, the red Spider Lily and the White Devil's Snare were already two of the most highly-coveted divine flowers in the cultivation world.

If one could possess a perfect, blooming Hurricane Lily King and get it to acknowledge them as its owner, they could control life and death, reverse yin and yang, and alter illusion and reality.

Even in the Celestial World, this was a treasure that countless great powers would stop at nothing to get.

Ye Qingcang's voice rang out in Shen Tian's mind. “Looks like this Hurricane Lily's divine consciousness has already been wiped clean, leaving behind only its basic, innate abilities.

“The person who cultivated this flower must not have wanted it to acknowledge an owner. They were just prepping it to be swallowed, merged, and refined into a Life Weapon.”

A Life Weapon was a weapon that was merged into the body and would advance in level together with the person.

In some ways, Shen Tian's First Essence Heavy Water, Divine Devouring Vine, and Feather Immortal Metal were all Life Weapons.

If the Evil Spirit Sect practitioner had successfully cultivated this Hurricane Lily King and refined it into their own Life Weapon, it would have a devastating impact on the entire world.

It would definitely be bad news to the cultivation sects.

Shen Tian asked, “Why doesn't the owner of the Hurricane Lily King just swallow it first?”

Ye Qingcang snorted. “Do you know how precious this Hurricane Lily King is? It will only bloom in the Reincarnation Land. One can only possess its full powers by merging with it after it fully blooms.

“That fellow had specially wiped clean the Hurricane Lily's divine consciousness and then painstakingly created this major Netherworld Yellow Springs domain illusion, just to make it look like the Reincarnation Land.

“They will then deceive the Hurricane Lily King into blooming and refine it! A pity that although this flower already lost its divine consciousness, its innate abilities are still intact.

“They had hoped to trick the flower into blooming using this fake illusion. Did they think it would be that easy? At the end of the day, your Pure Reincarnation Earth is still more attractive.”

Shen Tian's Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk was formed by the Pure Reincarnation Earth and possessed the reincarnation aura.

This was why Ye Qingcang had released some reincarnation aura when he had been breaking the array formation through Shen Tian's hand. It was so that the Hurricane Lily King would automatically fly out.

At the end of the day, a fake was a fake and could never replace the real thing.

“Tian'er, activate the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk so that this Hurricane Lily can absorb some aura.”

Under Ye Qingcang's directions, Shen Tian infused some of his own power into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk to activate it.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk glowed with a dark aura, which the Hurricane Lily gradually absorbed.

As the Hurricane Lily King absorbed more Pure Reincarnation Earth aura, the tightly-closed flower bud started to open.

This flower had never bloomed for anyone before. Nonetheless, it was blooming for Shen Tian now.

A Hurricane Lily of unprecedented beauty bloomed before Shen Tian's eyes.

No words could describe the loveliness of this flower. Its brilliant blood-red color blazed as fiercely as fire but also as sweetly as a young girl.

Now and then, a Sage-level white color would appear, which exuded bone-chilling, dark yin energy, such that it looked like the flower of death.

The flower morphed endlessly between those two forms—highly contrasting but also in perfect harmony.

It was like this flower's bloom was its most natural state.

“The Hurricane Lily King has bloomed!”

At this point, an excited voice rang out in mid-air.

The fabric of space opened, and a huge blood-red palm print appeared above Shen Tian's head.

The massive palm was coming straight down at Shen Tian, sealing off all possible escape routes.

“Tian'er, be careful!!!”

At that moment, a dazzling silver light shone on Shen Tian's body.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance had activated her Divine artifact, the Jade Mirror, to protect Shen Tian from being harmed by the Evil Spirit Sect Sage.

It must be said that Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was indeed a powerful Soul Formation cultivator. She was just one step away from undergoing her tribulation.

And together with her divine artifact, the Jade Mirror, her battle prowess was enough to fend against the attacks from a Sage.

It was a rare thing. After all, a Sage and a non-Sage were of two completely different existences. Their battle prowess should be on totally different levels!

The blood-red palm landed heavily on the silver glow. Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's face darkened, and her aura vibrated intensely.

“A sneak attack. A petty man's move. Can you still call yourself a Sage?”

Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus snorted. She swung her fiery-red crescent blade, the light reflecting off her sword looking like countless flaming feathers.

Clang!

The powerful blade swept across the sky, ripping through the fabrics of space.

A terrifying black void appeared wherever the blade glided through, spreading quickly like a disease.

The blood-red palm and crescent blade collided in a great boom.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus were indeed two of the foremost sacred ground Heavenly Venerables. When working together, their attack and defense were on par with that hidden Sage.

If there was only one Sage attacking them, he might not have been able to handle those two.

But at that moment, another two Sages appeared to fight alongside the first Evil Spirit Sect Sage.

“Haha. Seven Kill, you are so lousy! You can't even handle these two chicks.”

“Don't waste time spouting nonsense. These two chicks have Divine artifacts. Those damn sacred grounds are so rich. How can they possibly be that easy to handle?”

“So what if they have Divine artifacts? Jade Mirror, Fire Crescent Blade, and the Hellfire Lotus. It is just as well that they have three Divine artifacts. The three of us can work together to kill them and then split up the goodies.”

The three Sages exuded a mind-blowing aura.

The three of them also emitted a faint energy that was changing the laws of space and time. This energy spread throughout the entire area, glowing with divine light and merging into space.

Soon, the massive, all-encompassing Sage Realm engulfed Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance, Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus, and Shen Tian.

This was the power of a Sage. Every Sage would comprehend their own space-time abilities and have enhanced control over their immediate surroundings' spatial dimension laws.

And this ability to control space-time was termed as “Sage Realm”. They would have a great advantage when battling an enemy in their own Sage Realm.

But it was quite unexpected that these three Evil Spirit Sect Sages were able to merge their energies together to form a coordinated Sage Realm. This also greatly magnified their powers.

Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus struck out at the Sage Realm with her Fire Crescent Blade with all her might. But she was only able to create a tiny ripple.

“Don't waste your energy. This Kill Broken Wolf Sage Realm was created by all three of us. Even the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader might not be able to break it.”

“You are just a little Soul Formation girl. It's better for you to just give up!”

A raspy voice rang out. One of the red-robed Sages gazed teasingly at Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance. “A top-grade fairy from the Jade Lake Sacred Ground. You do have a great figure.

“I am in luck today. Let me handle this young lady. I will let you two have that shrew from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. No problem, right?”

Shrew? Scoundrel, how dare you insult me!

Flames erupted all over Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus' body, so hot that even the space above her head cracked from the heat.

A huge Crimson Phoenix avatar appeared in the sky. The blade in Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus' hand seemed to be alive, emitting strident phoenix cries.

“Go to hell!”

The blade slashed across the clouds, landing heavily on the Kill Broken Wolf Sage Realm.

The faces of the three Sages were full of mockery. A mere Soul Formation cultivator wanted to break their joint realm? She really didn't know her own place…

Boom!

The expressions of the three Sages instantly changed.

A crack appeared on their indestructible Sage Realm.

The crack then quickly spread out as the realm started to break inch by inch.

How is that possible!?

Before the three sages had time to react, a loud booming voice echoed through the air.

“Ridding the world of demons and finding treasures. No one should even think of challenging me!

“Tian'er, Junior Sisters Scarlet Dance and Crimson Lotus. Don't be afraid. I have brought everyone here to save you!”

A white-haired old Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe descended from the sky.

He had a muscular body, and a dazzling azure flame burned above his head.

The golden staff in his hand appeared as heavy as a mountain and seemed to grow longer with the wind.

The air was filled with the after-images of the swinging staff.

“Supreme Ocean Staff: Sky-Propping Pillar!”

“Supreme Ocean Staff: Piercing Through Space And Time!”

“Supreme Ocean Staff: Yellow Dragon Attack!”

“Supreme Ocean Staff: Overturning Seas And Rivers!”

“Supreme Ocean Staff: Domination Over A Thousand Armies!”

“Supreme Ocean Staff: Prevailing Over All!”

“Supreme Ocean Staff: Flooding Over All With One Swing!”

The golden staff danced in the air as the old Taoist priest swung it around.

Move after move, it stirred the fabrics of space, shattering the already cracked Sage Realm.

His every attack landed on Sage Ravenous Wolf's longsword, forcing him backward and completely suppressing him.

As a Heavenly Venerable, he was able to fend off a Sage and even suppress him in such a dominant manner.

How formidable Chu Longhe looked now!

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was completely bewitched by the sight of Chu Longhe engulfed in his flaming azure fire.

Senior Brother Chu was still as powerful and dashing as before. One couldn't help being swayed by the scene.

Senior Brother Chu's staff attack is truly impressive. I instantly feel so safe. And he must have specially come to save me!

At this thought, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's heart started to race. It didn't matter that she was already a 1,000-year-old spinster.

“Seven Kill, Broken Army, what are you standing there for? Come and help me!!!”

Another strike and Sage Ravenous Wolf flew across the air, a huge bump appearing at the back of his head. His mind was already in a daze.

He no longer cared about his dignity as a Sage. This was because a frightening notion had crept into his heart.

If he continued beating him like this, he might… really die!

This Azure Lotus is indeed rather powerful!
