Chapter 144: Venerable

Liu Zongmin took out the prepared content and read it one by one: “During the siege of Daming Mansion, it was the time of summer harvest. Our army’s grain and grass preparations were extremely smooth”...Moments later, the figure in crimson robes sat on the yellow sand, and the bodies of the two beside him had completely withered, becoming two 'mummies'.

"Hmph, this Heavenly Palace actually sets rules, forbidding attacks on one's own side during battle"

"Jokes, I'm about to die, who cares about your rules. Even if someone wants to settle accounts with me later, I'll just have my father come and sort it out."

This blood-robed figure's eyes were cold, but his hand involuntarily covered his heart.

“It’s been over a month now. I, in the depths of this Shifting Sands Wasteland, have slaughtered so many strong individuals, absorbed so much of their life essence, and as a result, my strength has only recovered by 30%” The figure in blood-colored robes had a distorted face, his eyes burning with boundless rage and madness.

That jerk!

“I had already made concessions, willing to hand over the token to him. But he still refused to let it go, forcing me to use my last resort to escape for my life. Now I’m stuck in this desolate place, absorbing the Qi and blood of these wastes to recover my strength…”

Damn you, you wait! When I recover my strength, I'll make sure to grind you to dust!!

The enraged roars of the Bloodrobe reverberated in the surrounding void, echoing for a long time.

……

At night, the moonlight shone brightly on the ground.

In the deepest night of the Shifting Sands, a chill hung in the air.

A few members of the Xia Fairy squad were sitting on the yellow sand, recovering from their injuries. Su Xin stood aside, while He Chen, the only one with a three-step Nirvana cultivation, was on alert in the nearby void. His spiritual consciousness also spread throughout a certain range around him.

“This Xia Fairy, usually appears to be swift and decisive, saying one thing and doing another. But now that she's been injured, her vulnerable side is revealed. After all, she's still a young girl. Su Xin looked at the Xia Fairy sitting there with her eyes closed, taking a breather, and couldn't help but smile.”

And at that moment, the Fairy Xia seemed to notice something as she opened her eyes and glanced up at him.

At the moment of eye contact, Su Xin could only manage an awkward smile.

"This sword...it feels a bit familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before." Xia Xianzi also had some doubts in her heart.

"Being only a Nirvana Realm cultivator, yet able to directly kill three Peak Stage Three experts. Such ability, even among the most outstanding geniuses within my Jiusheng Mountain, I estimate that no one could achieve it."

"Who is he"

Xia Xianzi didn't have any thoughts towards Su Xin.

Because both in appearance and temperament, Su Xin was too far off from Jian Yi standing before him.

Even though Su Xin is a true dragon-level genius, he hasn't been in Jiusheng Mountain for long. It is said that his cultivation level hasn't even broken through to the Nirvana realm yet. How could he possibly kill a peak three-step expert

Just then…

Someone came.

"He Chen, who was always on guard duty, suddenly shouted."

Su Xin's figure flickered, and he immediately appeared beside He Chen. His gaze looked forward, at the end of his line of sight, three figures were rushing over.

Three people, all at the Three Tribulations Nirvana realm of cultivation, and there was no trace of aura from them. They were strong fighters from the opposing camp. He Chen's face darkened, secretly thinking that their team's luck was really bad this time.

Before, they had fought a squad with three Peak Three-Step powerhouses, causing their strongest fighter, Xia Xianzi, to be injured and lose her combat effectiveness. Now they encountered another hostile team composed of three Nirvana Realm cultivators. If they directly confronted them, with their current strength, there was simply no room for resistance.

However, luckily, they had Mr. Kenichi escort them all the way.

"Master Kenichi, it's your turn now, He Chen said."

"Um, Su Xin nodded and immediately went up to meet the person alone."

Ahead, three figures dashed through the void.

These three had already discovered the existence of Su Xin and the others.

"A team of five people, with only one in the Three Steps Nirvana Realm. The rest are mostly still injured"

Noticing the cultivation levels of Su Xin and the others, the three of them laughed. Naturally, they wouldn't miss this opportunity.

At this moment, they saw that among the five opponents, a cold and stern young man with a sword was charging towards them alone.

"A step into Nirvana"

"One step nirvana, daring to charge at us alone"

"Who the heck is this"

These three people are all a bit strange.

If it were outside the Liu Sha Desolate Region, a single step Nirvana realm would indeed be more alarming than a two-step Nirvana realm.

But in the deepest part of this quicksand wasteland, most encounters are with those who have surpassed three steps. These three-step Nirvana realms wouldn't care about a mere one-step Nirvana.

Unbeknownst to the three of them, as Su Xin made his move, boundless blood clouds churned and instantly enveloped the entire void. Subsequently, the blood cloud domain exerted pressure, and Su Xin's swordsmanship erupted directly, marking the start of this confrontation...

"How is that possible"

"One step Nirvana realm, become this strong"

The three of them were shocked to find that the strength and swordsmanship of this person who had taken a step into the Nirvana Realm were terrifyingly powerful.

Ming Ming, though alone, managed to fight three opponents simultaneously. Relying on his swordsmanship, he quickly put them on the defensive, leaving them in a sorry state.

The three of them have already put all their strength into it, but they are still no match.

"Run!"

"Leave quickly!"

The three of them immediately wanted to leave, but Su Xin naturally wouldn't grant their wish.

Suddenly, from one direction beside them, a bloody light shot over with terrifying speed.

"That's one of ours!"

The three people who were about to escape immediately lit up.

"Helper" Su Xin's expression changed, "Alone, with such speed and ferocity, at least a peak-level Three Steps expert!"

"Haha, this friend..." The three of them immediately stepped forward, wanting to talk to the 'blood light'.

That "blood glow" suddenly surged in speed, appearing before the purple-haired elder among the three in a blink of an eye. The sharp claws in his hand tore through the void, incredibly fast.

The old man with purple hair widened his eyes, he didn't even have time to react before his head was torn apart by the sharp claws.

After slaying the purple-haired old man, this 'blood light' did not hesitate for a moment but continued to charge towards the other two.

These two people never expected that the newcomer would attack them, completely unprepared. Most importantly, this 'bloodlight' was too powerful.

>>>>

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streaks of light appeared consecutively, and both of them were mercilessly slain by the 'bloodlight'.

This scene shocked Su Xin, who was standing beside him.

To attack their own powerful allies

Within the Qingxuan Battlefield, both the Jiusheng Mountain camp and the Tian Shen Palace camp strictly forbid attacking powerful figures from their own camp during battle. Furthermore, the medals they have fused with also serve a certain monitoring function.

Once you lay your hands on your own people, it will be immediately detected.

Therefore, those who venture into the Qingxuan Battlefield and encounter powerful individuals from their own camp generally do not need to be overly cautious.

...now.

“Where did this madman come from To dare attack a strong member of their own ranks, isn't he afraid of the punishment from the Heavenly Palace afterwards” Su Xin’s eyes narrowed.

After killing three of their own comrades, this 'bloodlight' moved without the slightest hesitation. It flickered and charged towards Su Xin again.

Whoosh!

The same shimmering light.

That razor-sharp claw, under the moonlight, emitted a chilling cold light, its speed was unbelievably fast.

"Shadowing!!"

Su Xin didn't hesitate to unleash his Shadow Multiplying Technique, his crimson sword clashing head-on with the sharp claws.

At the moment of impact, Su Xin could only feel a terrifying force surging towards him. His body trembled slightly before being completely slammed into the ground below. In the endless expanse of yellow sand, he created a small pit with his fall.

But the next moment, Su Xin stood up and stood inside the pit, looking up at the 'blood light' above.

"Four steps... Venerable Nirvana!!" Su Xin's eyes were filled with a trace of horror.

Five steps to Nirvana, each step a rebirth.

From one-step nirvana to three-step nirvana, the gap between each step is not particularly large.

From the third step to the fourth step is a rather big hurdle.

To achieve the state of Nirvana in four steps, one needs not only sufficient cultivation and an extremely strong spiritual consciousness, but also, most importantly, a profound understanding at the third level of intent.

...and the third level of artistic conception is far superior to many who are at the second level. Those who have thoroughly grasped the essence of forty or fifty kinds of artistic conceptions are truly powerful.

A Four Steps Nirvana Realm cultivator, relying on their comprehension and feeling of the realm, possesses strength far exceeding a Three Steps Nirvana Realm expert. Therefore, in the Eastern Desolate Land, if one achieves the Four Steps Nirvana Realm, they are no longer referred to as a Four Steps Nirvana Realm cultivator but are instead called a Nirvana Venerable!!

But the person in front of me, judging from the strength displayed since his move just now, has obviously surpassed the realm of three steps Nirvana and reached the threshold of a four-step Nirvana Venerable.

……

In the distance, Xia Xianzi and He Chen and several others did not make a move, but they were also paying attention to this battle.

When they saw this sudden 'blood light' appear and slaughter three of their own camp with lightning speed, Xia Xianzi and the others were taken aback. Then, this 'blood light' struck again, and with just one blow, it sent Su Xin crashing into the ground.

It astounded them even more.

"Venerable! It is the Fourfold Nirvana Venerable!!"

"How is this possible How could there be a Nirvana Venerable within the Flowing Sand Desolate Territory"

Then He Chen couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Four Steps Nirvana Venerable, his strength is far from comparable to the Three Steps Nirvana realm.

This quicksand wasteland is merely on the fringe of the Qingxuan Battlefield. Most who venture here are teams composed of Second Step Nirvana Realm and Third Step Nirvana Realm cultivators. As for Fourth Step Nirvana Venerables... they practically never come here to frolic.

Firstly, this quicksand wasteland is too desolate and lacks any special opportunities.

Moreover, as a Nirvana Venerable who has entered the fourth step, most will also pay attention to their identity. Running to the Shaggy Sand Domain to fight with a group of Second-Step and Third-Step Nirvana Realms would be laughed at if it got out.

This man before you...

"You can withstand my attack and live. You have some skill, I'll give you that."

A cold and somewhat hoarse voice slowly rose, and the bloodlight on this person gradually dissipated, revealing his true face.ithin him boosting his swordsmanship, he was still just a relatively powerful figure among the three-step Nirvana realm.But if he were to go head-to-head with a top-tier martial artist of the Three St...
