However, to David, a level four Gold Immortal was not invincible.
But now is not the right time to act.
There were too many people from the Hall of Light, more than a dozen of whom were at the Golden Immortal level or above. Together with Su Yuqi’s demon clan team, it was a three-way battle. He and Jiang Xuelan were caught in the middle, and their chances of survival were slim.
The best strategy was to sit back and watch the two fight, letting the Temple of Light and the Demon Clan fight first, then seize the treasures when both were exhausted.
However, will Su Yuqi grant his request?
The middle-aged man clearly had no intention of wasting any more words with Su Yuqi.
He raised the golden scepter in his hand, and the Stone of Light at the top of the scepter radiated dazzling holy light, illuminating the entire passage.
“I will give you ten breaths.”
His voice was cold and dignified, “Take your people and get out of the Northern Ravine. Anyone who is still here after ten breaths will be killed without mercy.”
Su Yuqi’s face darkened.
The devil cultivators behind him instinctively took a step back, a glimmer of fear flashing in their eyes.
The enmity between the Temple of Light and the Fire Demon lineage had a long history. The holy light of the Temple of Light has a natural restraining effect against the supreme flames of the demon race. At the same cultivation level, it was difficult for a demonic cultivator to defeat a cultivator of the Temple of Light.
Moreover, Bright Hall’s team included one level four Gold Immortal, two level three Gold Immortals, three level two Gold Immortals, and the rest were ordinary Gold Immortals.
On the devil’s side, Su Yuqi, the strongest among them, was only at the peak of the third rank of the Golden Immortal Realm. Although there were two third-rank demons, there was only one second-rank demon, and the other one was only at the ninth rank of the True Immortal Realm.
The difference in cultivation level, coupled with the superiority of the elements, had made the outcome of this battle that had not yet begun a foregone conclusion.
But Su Yuqi did not give up.
Fiery flames burned in his dark red eyes, and the flames in his palms grew brighter, evaporating the water droplets from the melting ice crystals around him into white steam.
“Ten breaths?”
His voice was ice cold, “I can tell you now, in less than ten breaths, that I will take the Heart of the Cold Abyss. You residents of the Hall of Light, leave or die.”
The middle-aged man’s smile froze.
A deadly glint flashed through his eyes, and he pointed his golden staff sharply forward, shouting, “You are courting death!”
Before he finished speaking, the dozen or so cultivators from the Hall of Radiance behind him attacked simultaneously, their golden holy light turning into dazzling beams of light that shot toward the devil cultivator.
Su Yuqi snorted coldly, and the supreme flame in her palm suddenly exploded, turning into a dark red flame shield that blocked the incoming beam of light.
explosion!
The entire passage shook violently as the beam of light collided with the fire shield.
Large chunks of ice crystals broke free from the dome, fell to the ground and shattered into dust. Those icy blue shards danced in the air, refracting the golden and dark red holy light into fiery light, illuminating the entire passage as if it was a dreamlike realm of the dead.
Su Yuqi jerked back several steps, her feet leaving two deep furrows in the ice beneath her feet.
His thumb and index finger split, and dark red blood dripped from his fingertips onto the ice, producing a sizzling sound. The intense heat in his blood melted the ice, creating small holes that released steam.
But he didn’t give up.
His dark red eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man in front of him. The fierce flames in his palm condensed again, even more intense than before. Faint scarlet light patterns could be seen flowing within the dark red flames, a mark that only appeared when the Flame Demon bloodline was stimulated to its extreme limits.
“That’s interesting.”
The middle-aged man stared at the Supreme Flame that had re-condensed in Su Yuqi’s palm, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. “Third rank peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, able to withstand the impact of my Holy Light without falling, the Holy Maiden of the Flame Devil lineage is truly extraordinary.”
He paused for a moment, a bitterly cold smile on his lips. “But actually he ‘has some tricks up his sleeve’.”
The golden scepter was raised once more, and the Stone of Light at the top of the scepter emitted a holy light that was even more dazzling than before.
This time, the holy light was no longer a scattered pillar of light, but condensed into a fist-sized ball of golden light at the top of the scepter. The surface of the ball was covered with dense holy light runes, each of which emitted a terrifying aura capable of burning the heavens and destroying the earth.
“Holy Light – Judgment”.
The middle-aged man said these four words softly, and the ball of golden light flew out of his hand, leaving behind a long trail of golden flames as it shot towards Su Yuqi.
Wherever the ball of light passed, the air immediately burned. The ice crystals on both sides of the path evaporated instantly when they came into contact with the ball of light, without melting in the slightest, they immediately turned into white steam and disappeared into the air.
A deep trench, several feet deep, was dug into the surface of the ice, and the ice at the edge of the trench burned into shiny black crystals due to the high temperature.
