Mad God Evolution-Chapter 1460 - 1358
Chapter 1460: Chapter 1358
The sarcasm had hardly been voiced when it instantly provoked a wave of anger.
Quite a few saints, who felt grateful to Lv Zhong, immediately looked over with cold eyes at the newcomer, only to see Vermilion Thousand Hands sitting atop a colossal winged spider, her face grim as she coldly regarded Lv Zhong.
To her rear, there were actually several other saints of the Insect Clan, all of whom were looking at Lv Zhong with unfriendly gazes.
"Heh, indeed, I relied on the power of the magical treasure to save everyone; still, it’s much better than certain saints who dare not take action themselves, but ceaselessly split their divine consciousness or send saintly avatars to capture the relatives of others to threaten them..." Lv Zhong’s face wore a smile, but his voice was extremely chilling.
He had not expected Vermilion Thousand Hands to appear, let alone dare to mock him at this time. His killing intent surged violently within him.
If it had been in the past, a mere Upper Quasi-Sage harboring killing intent towards a Level 6 Sage would have shocked countless saints into cursing Lv Zhong for his arrogance and ignorance.
Yet these words had come from Lv Zhong, and not a single saint present took them lightly.
Previously, when all the saints collectively expressed their gratitude and addressed Lv Zhong as a fellow Daoist, it had already shown that those present had thoroughly acknowledged Lv Zhong’s strength and realm. They placed Lv Zhong on equal standing with themselves.
Besides, Lv Zhong was not alone; he had an adoptive master of venerable sage rank by his side. Moreover, quite a few saints owed Lv Zhong a great debt of life-saving grace and were at a loss as to how to repay such a significant karmic debt.
If, at this moment, Lv Zhong were to ask the saints to take action and annihilate all the saints of the Insect Clan, it’s likely that the attending saints would be eager to do so.
"Haha, what an arrogant human. Without attaining sainthood, you’re ultimately no better than ants. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?" Vermilion Thousand Hands said with a deathly gaze fixed on Lv Zhong, her face dark.
Although Lv Zhong had saved many saints, endearing many of them to him, Vermilion Thousand Hands had always been recalcitrant and was not particularly frightened of the saints by Lv Zhong’s side. This was because many of the saints’ universes were situated not far from the Mysterious Abyss Insect Domain. Should these saints dare to assist Lv Zhong, Vermilion Thousand Hands and other insect saints would dare to lead their Insect Army on a crazed reprisal against them.
Furthermore, it just so happened that the Venerable Sage of the Insect Clan had not made it to the recent battle of venerable sages but had now arrived. Although he was not with Vermilion Thousand Hands and the others, she believed that if the insect saints were to clash with other saints, the Venerable Sage of the Insect Clan would also arrive in an instant.
It was precisely because of this that Vermilion Thousand Hands had considerable confidence when facing Lv Zhong today.
"Kill me?" Lv Zhong, unbowed, responded with a proud laugh, "Haven’t you attacked me several times already? And yet, I’m still alive, while your divine consciousness and saintly avatars have been destroyed one by one. Heh, if you want to try again now, I’m afraid your true saintly self will meet its end."
"Lv Zhong, shall I take that as a challenge to me?" Vermilion Thousand Hands’s eyes suddenly widened, her entire presence surged drastically, rushing crazily towards Lv Zhong in an attempt to suppress him instantly.
Unfortunately, she was totally mistaken!
What Lv Zhong least fears is another’s might.
Not to mention that within Lv Zhong’s Sea of Consciousness, three major treasures offered protection, and his Soul Merit Golden Body was solid beyond compare.
Just the fact that Lv Zhong had indirectly caused the fall of three venerable sages in his mind already meant he no longer regarded venerable sages as a threat at all, let alone Vermilion Thousand Hands, a mere sixth rank Insect Sage.
And Lv Zhong’s Eye of the Great Path had just been upgraded once more, imparting a touch of parity with venerable sages to his own aura. How could he possibly fear Vermilion Thousand Hands?
Facing the rapidly advancing might of a sixth rank sage, Lv Zhong stood unwavering as a mountain, his voice cold as he said, "It seems to me that you have been the one provoking me all along, right? The first time we met, you, along with Bai Tianshou and Iron Armor, attacked me unprovoked. After I escaped, you shamelessly split your divine consciousness into the Lower World and controlled Independent Immortals to kidnap my family. Unexpectedly for you, I arrived in time and annihilated the divine consciousness of the three of you. Your failure only made you all the more reckless, so you sent saintly avatars to hunt me down a second time. Little did you expect I would lead them into the Heavenly Demon World. They haven’t shown up yet, which I presume means they’ve met their end (of course, Lv Zhong would not admit he now fully commands the Heavenly Demon World). What now, after several consecutive losses, do you once again plan to attack me, Lv Zhong, amidst this Chaos? Do you truly think I, Lv Zhong, am so easily bullied?"
By this point, Lv Zhong’s voice had turned completely cold, his proclamation ringing out like an oath: "Time after time, it’s you who have provoked and stirred up trouble. If it weren’t for the few cards I hold for self-preservation, I would have been utterly destroyed by now, both body and soul gone. However, this time I swear, Vermilion Thousand Hands, I, Lv Zhong, am determined to annihilate you. And I do not need these saints to assist me; I will certainly ascend to your Mysterious Abyss Insect Domain and eradicate your entire clan—"
Boom...
All the Sages were stunned, each of them looking towards Lv Zhong with a hint of complexity in their gaze.
A mere Upper-level Quasi-Sage (Immortal Emperor) actually dares to declare war on a Level 6 Sage like Vermilion Thousand Hands?
Is Lv Zhong foolish?
Or does Lv Zhong truly possess such domineering aura?
However, everyone also shook their heads in secret, thinking that Lv Zhong had been thoroughly blinded by anger.
So foolish as to not know to utilize the help of these Sages.
It should be noted that many Sages present had received Lv Zhong’s favors.
This time, if Lv Zhong had truly indicated the need for the help of the sages present, these Sages, despite their wariness of Vermilion Thousand Hands and the Insect Army, would reluctantly lend a hand. But after that, the sages would consider the life-saving debt to Lv Zhong repaid and would not have much interaction with him.
But now, Lv Zhong openly states that he does not need the help of the Sages present?
In doing so, Lv Zhong has completely rejected the support of all the Sages present!
"Is this boy foolish or mad?" Even Knife Master shook his head secretly.
Sword Ancestor, however, brightened at this and then looked at Master Hongjun enviously, muttering under his breath: "Such a promising seedling, what a pity..."
"Isn’t that so!" Lotus Master also rarely chuckled, the previously pale face from injury now gaining a hint of color.
Lotus Master was full of admiration for Lv Zhong.
"Hehe, this youngster may not be good at other things, but I like his pride. Gaga, you all can’t even be envious. This is the true disciple I’ve been looking for billions and millions of years. Haha... Having such a disciple, what more could I ask for..." Master Hongjun was also full of an ostentatious air at this moment.
In his view, Lv Zhong’s arrogance is also a true potential and strength.
Of course, the same goes for Lotus Master and Sword Ancestor’s perspective.
Only Hun Can Old Way was staring at Lv Zhong with an extremely complex look in his eyes.
For no other reason than that Lv Zhong also met his approval!
As a supreme Venerable Sage, it is too easy to find disciples. But to find a true disciple to pass on his mantle is much more difficult.
Furthermore, for a disciple to satisfy and even delight such a Venerable Sage is exceedingly hard to find in the heavens!
Yet now, such an exceptional talent has already become someone else’s disciple?
For people at the level of Hun Can, Sword Ancestor, and the like, this is indeed an utterly disheartening matter! (To be continued.
