522 The Black Dragon’s Ancestor
The Azure Sky Master was straightforward. After a moment of thought, he agreed to the Black Dragon’s suggestion.
General Wu hesitated for a moment and nodded too.
Seeing that his two good friends had agreed, the Golden Cicada Temple Master had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to the plan.
“Alright, but after this is over, that guy’s secret technique must be shared with everyone! As for the resources, we’ll distribute them according to the plan we agreed on earlier.”
“Alright.”
The Black Dragon agreed to the Golden Cicada Temple Master’s request without hesitation.
“You guys, help me hold this guy back. I’ll go and condense my Dharma Body.”
After saying this, the Black Dragon turned around and charged toward the million-strong army behind him.
The Golden Cicada Temple Master and the other two did not dare to hesitate. While they transmitted their voices to their subordinates to cooperate, they also exerted their full strength to hold Lin Qiye and the young man back.
The power of incense was limited.
The method of storage was also special.
It was through the construction of altars and the burning of incense to guide, store, and use.
With the authorization of the Golden Cicada Temple Master and the others, their most loyal subordinates commanded the army to set up altars quickly, burn incense, and pray.
Lin Qiye saw the Black Dragon’s actions, but the Golden Cicada Temple Master and the other two were experienced Immortal Level masters.
He couldn’t easily get rid of them when they tried their best to stop him.
“What that guy is planning to do looks dangerous.”
In Lin Qiye’s sea of consciousness, he was communicating with his clone.
“We can’t interrupt them now. If we want to kill Immortal Level existences, we have to accumulate energy. It’s impossible to kill them in our current state.”
After fighting with the Golden Cicada Temple Master and the others for a while, the young man was deeply aware of how difficult it was to deal with an Immortal Level master.
After all, he was limited by his cultivation level, and it was difficult for the power of an Incarnation Realm cultivator to cause effective damage to an Immortal Realm master.
“Same old rules. You hold them off, I’ll gather the energy. Since they want to play big, let’s play with them.”
“No problem.”
Since he could not break through the Golden Cicada Temple Master and the others’ entanglement, Lin Qiye gave up on attacking. He let the young man control the Thunder God Aspect to protect him and began to concentrate the entire formation’s energy.
On the west shore of Xiangjiang, while Lin Qiye was gathering energy, Black Dragon had already commanded the army to build the altar. He was frantically absorbing the power of incense that the Golden Cicada Temple Master and the other two had accumulated over the years.
Chang Shi and the others followed Lin Qiye’s orders and led the army to retreat quickly.
There would be an unprecedented battle shortly. The soldiers who remained on the field would only become cannon fodder.
The Golden Cicada Temple Master, the other two, and the young man did not plan to fight to the death. While they were stalling each other, something strange suddenly happened in the black fog where Butcher was.
The black mist filled with evil Qi had been completely purified.
Holy energy filled it, and a celestial aura circulated, causing the black mist to be covered in a faint layer of radiance.
“Sh*t, how could I forget about that guy?”
General Wu’s expression changed.
“Damn it, how much longer does Black Devourer need? That guy has advanced to the half-immortal level. I’m afraid he already has the strength to fight us head-on!”
The Golden Cicada Temple Master’s expression turned ugly.
They had seen Butcher’s power, and General Wu had also experienced it personally. None of the Immortal Level fiends present dared to underestimate him.
Thinking that he could threaten General Wu when he was only in the Incarnation Realm, and now that he had advanced to the half-immortal realm, they couldn’t help but feel nervous.
The black mist in the distance gradually converged into one.
A moment later, the black mist dissipated, and Butcher’s figure was once again revealed.
He closed his eyes, seemingly still immersed in that floating state. The surrounding energy washed his soul, almost allowing him to cross the threshold.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to break through. Only after reconstructing your physical body can you truly control Immortal Level power.”
Lin Qiye’s voice suddenly appeared in Butcher’s mind, immediately waking him up from his drunken state.
“My Lord!”
Butcher jumped in shock and quickly interrupted his condition.
He had never been taught anything about Immortal Level experts, so he had no idea what to pay attention to when breaking through.
“Leave this place quickly. There will be a great battle soon, and I can’t protect you.”
Lin Qiye urged Butcher to leave as he accumulated energy.
If it was just the four fiend lords, he might have protected Butcher during the battle, but now, the other party seemed to be about to use some incredible means. He didn’t dare to take the risk and could only order everyone under him to retreat first.
“Yes.”
Butcher also noticed the change in the situation on the battlefield. Although he was curious about the young man he had never seen, he did not dare to delay time by asking. He responded respectfully and quickly left.
On the other side, seeing Butcher immediately retreat after waking up, the Golden Cicada Temple Master and the other two could not help but feel dumbfounded.
“What’s with this? Did he escape?”
The Azure Sky Master looked at Butcher’s back in disbelief.
“He’s not someone who fears battle. He must be plotting something!”
General Wu had fought with Butcher before. After a short encounter, he knew that Butcher was not a coward.
“Don’t make wild guesses. He must have realized the Holy Infant was not as powerful as he thought. Thus, he must have recognized the situation and won’t be our enemy,” The Golden Cicada Temple Master said confidently.
They guessed that a genius like Butcher was willing to follow Lin Qiye because he had been deceived.
Now that they saw Butcher only glancing at them and then running away without looking back, they immediately confirmed their speculation.
