He clearly saw the greedy, anxious, and vengeful look on that high-level Gold Immortal’s face, and saw the other party’s sinister intention to seize the treasure and improve himself.
However, David did not feel afraid and remained as steady as Mount Tai.
With the Great Luo Golden Scripture protecting him, he was immune to all magic and invincible to all adversity. No matter how strong or greedy this third-rank Gold Immortal was, he couldn’t do anything to him.
David smiled coldly to himself, remaining calm and collected. Then he suppressed his emotions, pretended to be awake, and continued to observe the situation without actively provoking trouble.
He had never taken the initiative to attack, nor had he intentionally provoked anyone, but the Great Luo Golden Scripture embedded in his soul had accurately sensed all the hatred, greed, and evil scheming and killing intent directed at David from the outside world.
The most precious treasures had spirits, and their main purpose was to protect their master. When it sensed that its master was being targeted and targeted, or that a high-ranking Gold Immortal had repeatedly and forcefully offended it, it would naturally experience a stress response.
Buzzing-
The Great Luo Golden Scripture trembled slightly and spontaneously for a moment, soundlessly and imperceptibly, before slowly releasing an extremely subtle and faint ancient and primordial aura.
This aura was so faint, like a gentle gust of wind, that ordinary cultivators would not be able to detect it at all, and even if they tried to investigate it closely, they would simply ignore it.
However, Venerable Tianji was a top-level expert of the fifth rank of the Golden Immortal. His divine soul’s perception far surpassed ordinary people, and he was extremely sensitive to the aura of high-level sources. The moment the aura appeared, he precisely caught it.
In the next instant, the curiosity, anxiety, and greed on the Heavenly Venerate’s face disappeared, replaced by extreme fear from the depths of his soul, his entire body and soul trembling non-stop.
The primordial power contained in this aura was vast, ancient, and majestic, completely surpassing the Gold Immortal level and the Xuan Immortal dimension.
This was the most fundamental and ancient power of the Great Dao across the heavens and realms, far beyond his lifetime’s understanding and the scope of all cultivation systems in the seventeenth heaven.
This was not fear, but rather the innate instinct of low-level creatures to bow and tremble before the supreme source of the Great Dao, which they were unable to resist.
Before the Heavenly Venerate could recover, that faint wisp of supreme aura, like an invisible divine needle of the Great Path, suddenly penetrated the air and headed straight for the core of his sea of consciousness.
“Ah!”
A shrill and heartbreaking scream suddenly resounded throughout the Soul Refining Hall, the sound echoing off the walls.
The Heavenly Venerate’s body shook violently, and he was thrown backwards, crashing into the thick and hard stone wall of the Soul Refining Hall.
The high-level sealing runes engraved on the palace walls flashed and shone brightly, passively triggering the protection and violently bouncing off his heavily injured body.
The Heavenly Venerate was heavily smashed onto the cold ground, his body wracked with excruciating pain. His soul was almost destroyed, and golden primordial blood flowed from all seven orifices of his body. His aura instantly weakened to the extreme, his face was deathly pale, and he was completely helpless, not even having the strength to raise an arm.
The defensive aura emitted by the treasure alone had already severely injured a fifth-rank upper-stage Gold Immortal, demonstrating its terrifying power.
Without anyone controlling it, the Soul Suppressing Pearl rolled off the stone platform and fell to the ground. The pearl spun several times before finally stopping quietly in the shadow of the Soul Refining Hall.
The huge commotion, shrill screams, and chaotic aura of the Gold Immortals within the Soul Refining Hall instantly alarmed all the Gold Immortal guards and experts within the Heavenly Extreme Hall.
Crimson Flame Venerable and Cold Abyss Venerable were the first to break through the air and arrive, followed by the eight Golden Immortals in the hall. Everyone rushed into the Soul Refining Hall at full speed. The moment they saw the scene inside the hall, everyone froze in place, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.
The once famous and mighty Heavenly Venerate was now lying on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices of his body, his aura was weak and his body was seriously injured, without showing a trace of the majesty of a top expert.
“Palace Master!” Several Gold Immortals rushed forward, bending down to help him up, their expressions panicked.
With his sharp eyes, Venerable Crimson Flame locked his gaze on the Soul Suppressing Pearl rolling in the corner of the wall. His pupils narrowed sharply as he immediately understood the source of the anomaly.
Venerable Hanyuan reacted even more quickly, his figure flashing as he reached the corner first. He raised his hand and steadily took the Soul Suppressing Pearl, then immediately put it away in his sleeve to keep it under his control and prevent others from snatching it.
Crimson Flame Venerable immediately appeared in front of Cold Abyss Venerable, his body was surrounded by crimson flames, and he spread out the pressure of a Gold Immortal, vigilantly facing the group of Gold Immortals from Heavenly Extreme Palace to prevent them from taking him by force.
“What are you two planning? How dare you act so presumptuously in the Soul Refining Hall, wanting supreme treasures!” shouted a Golden Immortal from the Heavenly Pole Hall angrily, his face showing fury, and he tried to step forward to stop them.
“The Palace Master is seriously injured and his soul is damaged. He urgently needs to go into seclusion to recuperate and heal. He must not be disturbed by external things.” Venerable Red Flame’s tone was cold and firm, without showing any signs of relenting.
“This Soul Suppressing Pearl was brought by the two of us, and we must guard it safely for the time being. No one has the right to disturb or hinder it.”
Both parties are on the verge of conflict, and confrontation may erupt at any time.
