Chapter 1842 - 1836: This Child Must Not Return to the Sunset Sect
"Divine vein? He activated a divine vein too?"
"Impossible! How can anyone activate a divine vein at the first-grade of divine cultivation? What kind of monster is he?"
"The concept of Dao is elusive and requires prolonged insight and perception to comprehend, and the closer one gets to the Tao realm, the higher the possibility of understanding it. I have never heard of anyone who can comprehend it so effortlessly."
The people from the Divine Profound Hall were utterly shocked.
To give an analogy, understanding a Dao is like doing a doctoral research project, which requires accumulating vast knowledge before one can complete it. Compared to undergraduates, graduate students might also struggle with the project, but it’s easier for them to grasp it than undergraduates.
But now you tell me an elementary student has completed this doctoral project, which is hard for anyone to accept.
"These fools really dared to challenge our Clan Leader, now they realize they’ve hit a brick wall, right?"
Regarding this, the disciples of the Sunset Sect seemed unsurprised, knowing that they’d been almost inseparable from Zhang Menglong for several years. When Zhang Menglong broke through the divine cultivation realm, everyone witnessed it, and that scene was definitely not something an ordinary divine cultivation martial artist’s breakthrough could rival.
After Zhang Menglong’s breakthrough, everyone was keen to find out just how strong he had become, thus proposing a challenge of one against over 8000.
In that cramped training ground, 8000 people couldn’t even touch Zhang Menglong, almost being crushed by him in a sweeping manner. Zhang Menglong’s strength is still beyond understanding for the disciples who fought with him.
Wan Ning faced this situation, utterly uncertain for a while.
Initially thinking he had completed the hardest step towards the Tao realm, believing the path afterward would be smooth, anticipating avenging past shame today, yet he didn’t expect Zhang Menglong’s progress to far exceed his imagination.
"Even if you have comprehended a Dao, so what?" Wan Ning gritted his teeth, "The difference between divine cultivation first-grade and peak is tens of times. Even mastering the complete Tianxuan Scripture only amplifies power by thirty or forty times, and I have a tenfold amplification myself. In any calculation, I am several times stronger than you. Do you think you can beat me?"
"Who told you I only comprehended one Dao?" Zhang Menglong’s lips curved into a mocking smile, "Why not take a closer look?"
As soon as Zhang Menglong finished speaking, the surrounding temperature suddenly soared.
At that moment, he seemed to transform into a fiercely nuclear-fusing sun. The entire area appeared to be baked by the sun, showing an unusual red. Minerals and elements in the sand and stone on the ground began to melt and change, and even the ground within dozens of meters around him had been scorched into a large translucent glass.
"He activated a fire element divine vein!" Those disciples from the Divine Profound Hall retreated furiously; without taking measures, they would find it hard to withstand the heat in that area. If an ordinary divine breath realm dancer or a first or second-grade divine cultivation martial artist entered that area, they might be roasted alive by the heat!
"Divine cultivation first-grade, activated two divine veins. It’s unprecedented, even in ancient texts, I have never heard of such a case."
"Indeed, he just stepped into the first-grade of divine cultivation yet already has the access to the Dao realm. Once promoted to the Dao realm, his strength will be far superior to ordinary Dao realm experts, two divine veins!"
"Looking across the world, the number of people with several divine veins is quite substantial, but those who can comprehend two Daos before advancing to the Dao realm are incredibly rare."
"This child must not be returned to Sunset Sect. Today, no matter what, we must exhaust all efforts to keep him here; otherwise, our Divine Profound Hall will never rise again!"
"The three of us will aid Wan Ning," the three direct disciples immediately decided, "The rest of you, eliminate those apprentice disciples as quickly as possible; kill them if possible!"
Their tone carried undeniable killing intent; usually, when superpowers clashed, everyone would try not to harm each other’s lives, adhering to the principle of leaving a line for future meetings.
But given the relationship between Divine Profound Hall and Sunset Sect, plus these people comprehending the Nine Nether Sunset Art, not killing them is being cruel to the entire Divine Profound Hall; even being labeled a traitor wouldn’t be excessive.
"Good, everyone, make it quick!"
"Yes, it’s just a bunch of apprentice disciples; even if they mastered the first layer of Nine Nether Sunset Art, they can’t be our match."
"There are only over 8000 of them. Each of us handles one; the rest encircle them, preventing any breakout, ensuring no one survives!"
"Okay!"
More than 12000 disciples of the Divine Profound Hall shouted and charged forward. The core disciples of Divine Profound Hall had almost trained the Tianxuan Scripture to its current limit, achieving a 5 to 8 times strength amplification, not much inferior to the first layer of Sunset Sect’s Nine Nether Sunset Art. Combined with their realm advantage, they saw this as an inconclusive battle.
"You came, right?"
"Are they planning to deal with us first and then gang up on our Clan Leader?"
"Fools, you picked the wrong target! If it were two days ago, we might indeed lack the means to defend, but now, brothers!"
"Time to show off."
"Unleash all power, resolve it within five minutes."
"Alive or dead?"
"Nonsense, alive, of course, dead people aren’t worth as much as live ones."
...
Those martial artists from the Divine Profound Hall had almost charged into their faces, yet those apprentice disciples from the Sunset Sect were still chattering cheerfully, as if their killing intent was merely a gentle breeze through the hills.
However, at that moment, the aura of all Sunset Sect apprentice disciples changed.
"Nine Nether Sunset Art!"
Tenfold increase, making everyone’s aura equivalent to about eighth-grade divine cultivation.
Yet this level of aura was still several tiers below the core disciples.
"Hahaha, I thought they were formidable; if we hadn’t learned the Tianxuan Scripture, they might indeed contest us."
"Don’t be so proud. Remember, these are mere apprentice disciples; defeating apprentice disciples is hardly a glorious feat."
"True, if they grew into core disciples, we might get overwhelmed by them!"
"Luckily these people weren’t protected by Sunset Sect; today we’ll ensure they perish in this cradle of growth!"
"Don’t let any of them break through!"
"You think it’s over?" Sunset Sect disciples’ faces suddenly displayed sinister smiles.
"Breakthrough? I’ll break through your face!"
"Nine Nether Sunset Art!"
"Second layer!"
"Boom!" All auras skyrocketed again on the original basis, some strengthened fivefold, some eightfold, and even some tenfold exceptionally!
At this moment, their aura was almost indistinguishable from the group of core disciples, and some even surpassed them!
"This..." Divine Profound Hall’s people instantly turned to stone.
"Is this for real?"
