Chapter 1713: Chapter 1752: Fierce Battle with Compassion

Although the two Female Sages are remnant souls, they wield powerful Magical Treasures from their heyday.

Their combined power is astonishing!

As nine gigantic phoenix birds swooped down, he redirected the Laws he used to slaughter everyone toward the approaching phoenix birds instead.

Under the Time Retrospection Law, the nine phoenix birds visibly shrank, eventually turning into green specks of light.

The tall Wutong tree also rapidly diminished, reverting to its original state.

And the Time Law continued unabated, enveloping the two of them.

The Compassionate Sage chuckled, "So it was just bluffing, gave me quite a scare!"

"Two old crones, the Ancient Giant from a thousand years ago couldn’t completely kill you, let me send you off then!"

In the end, Red Demon Venerable and Lecherous Sage are just remnant souls; even with a combined strike, they barely reach the Peak of Heavenly Human Five Declines.

Perhaps when unguarded, they could harm the Compassionate Sage, but they stand no chance in a direct confrontation.

Now, both are enveloped by the Time Law, and their remnant souls visibly diminish.

The soul power they painstakingly restored over a thousand years is quickly dissipating.

Just as they fell into a severe crisis.

The Misfortune God Stele suddenly appeared above Compassionate Sage’s head and crashed down fiercely.

The Compassionate Sage sneered, "Just a mere remnant soul, dare to attack this Sage?"

"Die!"

He pointed a finger, and terrifying power penetrated the stele, striking into it.

But, the stele emitted an angry rumbling sound.

The blood of the Misfortune Sage on the surface of the stele swiftly coalesced into a blood-red word "Misfortune," then detached and stamped toward the Compassionate Sage.

The latter’s pupils contracted sharply, exclaiming, "This stele contains a Sage’s Strike?"

He tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

The word "Misfortune" swiftly imprinted on his head, releasing fatal misfortune that corroded his body.

His inner vital energy reversed, the laws condensed in his palm became chaotic, and he staggered uncontrollably.

Thoroughly lost his combat capability.

Seeing this, Red Demon Venerable hurriedly said, "Quick, one more time!"

She held the Jade Paper Heavenly Book and once again unleashed the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin.

Nine phoenix birds swiftly swooped down, passing through his body in unison.

"Get away... All of you, get away..."

"You group of ants..."

But the nine phoenix birds were seen gnawing at his soul, forcefully dragging him.

However, the other party is still a Sage, or one with Merit approaching Sage status.

After only half his soul was pulled out, it couldn’t be pulled any further.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed, seizing the opportunity.

"Go!"

The Nine Dragon Demon Tripod flew out, smashing fiercely toward the Compassionate Sage.

Already under the sway of misfortune, the Compassionate Sage glared, intending to knock the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod away.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The Nine Dragon Demon Tripod was indeed deflected, but it curved back in an arc, precisely striking the Compassionate Sage’s chest.

This was the effect of misfortune.

Seeing this, everyone struck out.

What astonished them was that as Great Venerates, they normally wouldn’t harm the Compassionate Sage.

Yet their attacks bizarrely managed to hit the weakest points of the Compassionate Sage.

Such as the eyes, the neck, even "conveniently" entering the mouth.

An unexpected strike from Ice Heart Venerate landed between the Compassionate Sage’s legs, causing him to utter the most painful cry of the battle so far.

Ice Heart Venerate blushed, spitting, "Using such a dirty place to take my move, you shameless old man!"

The Compassionate Sage was filled with shame and anger.

Their injuries were not severe, but the humiliation was immense!

"You’re courting death!!" he roared, eyes bloodshot, neck veins bulging.

The terrifying might of a Sage surged like a torrent.

Though under the effect of misfortune, it failed to unleash annihilating force, it still blasted five Great Venerates and the likes of Red Demon and Lecherous Sage into the outer heavens.

Sobs of agony accompanied by fresh blood scattered in all directions.

In just an instant, they were all severely injured.

The gap between Sage and Divinity Transformation is indeed vast.

Even standing still, they struggle to take its life.

What disturbed everyone more was the Compassionate Sage, fully enraged, revealing a radiant golden stele behind him.

Clearly the Sage’s strongest aspect!

Merit Divine Stele!

Just like how the strongest in the Divinity Transformation Realm is their Domain.

Harnessing the power within the stele, a Sage gains supreme combat power.

The Compassionate Sage glanced at the word "Misfortune" above his head, snorting angrily, "Begone!"

The Merit Divine Stele radiated brilliantly, the immense power of Merit disintegrating the word "Misfortune."

Then, coldly focused on the only remaining person in place, Jiang Fan.

In front of him stood a snow-white giant bell, which absorbed most of the Compassionate Sage’s attack just now.

Along with the snow-white shield protecting him, it blocked the majority of the aftermath.

Thus, Jiang Fan was only shaken enough to spill some blood.

"You little beast! You’re the most deserving of death!!!"

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today!"

The Compassionate Sage venomously declared, "Starting from you, I will kill you all!!!"

His Merit Divine Stele behind him once more blazed with golden light.

The overwhelming power of Merit hurtled toward the Immortal King’s Undying Bell before Jiang Fan.

No matter how invincible this bell once was, it is ultimately damaged; how can it withstand a hit from Merit?

However.

Jiang Fan remained unafraid, wiping the blood from his mouth, "Old dog!"

"Look at your chest before continuing!"

The Compassionate Sage looked down, noticing a nine-color crystal attached to his chest by Mysterious Demon Liquid.

He recalled, it was when Jiang Fan propelled the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod to crash into him.

The Nine Dragon Demon Tripod was secondary; the nine-color crystal attached was crucial.

Due to the Mysterious Demon Liquid covering it, the aura of the nine-color crystal was concealed and didn’t leak out.

Upon closer inspection, only now did he perceive the terrifying aura contained within the nine-color crystal.

Before he could respond, Jiang Fan’s indifferent voice echoed by his ear.

"Explode!"

Then, as his pupils progressively widened, this nine-color crystal shattered open.

The nine-color Tribulation Thunder, enough to annihilate a Sage, descended like divine punishment, instantly engulfing him.

Jiang Fan’s heart pounded wildly.

He succeeded!

This nine-color crystal, he couldn’t recall how many times he tried to use it, but due to various reasons, it never got utilized.

Ultimately, it didn’t get used on the battlefield of Ancient Giants but rather on the Compassionate Sage.

It seemed, as if everything was predestined.

The White-robed Skeleton once said, once this crystal is activated, few Sages in Central Earth can withstand it.

A Compassionate Sage bearing injuries, recuperating in Central Earth, how could he possibly withstand it?

But, causing Jiang Fan’s pupils to contract sharply.

The nine-color Tribulation Thunder that engulfed the Compassionate Sage was shrinking!!

Under the inexhaustible power of the Time Reversal, it forcibly reversed the nine-color Tribulation Thunder to its initial state.

Soon, the Compassionate Sage’s face reappeared from the nine-color Tribulation Thunder.

A face twisted in ferocity and excitement, "Hehehe, you have such a great treasure!"

"How wonderful!"

"This thing, except for the Great Wine Sacrifice of Taicang State and the Buddha Venerate of Heavenly State, no one can withstand it!"

"Since you delivered this great gift, then I’ll use it to slay a Sage and plunder their belongings before I leave."

"Otherwise, leaving Central Earth empty-handed, I’d be so unwilling."
