Chapter 1576: Chapter 1547: The Peril of Serenity

“Why are you here?”

Xiao Yi looked at the newcomer with disbelief.

This hurried arrival, covered in blood, with a face pale as a ghost, was none other than the Second Peak Master of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion.

At this moment.

The Second Peak Master was drenched in blood, with a dark wound on his chest, blood gushing out. Black smoke clung to the wound, like maggots, constantly gnawing at his flesh.

Preventing the wound from healing.

Dark, thick blood flowed continuously from the wound.

If it weren’t for this sinister black energy, with the Second Peak Master’s Saint King Realm cultivation, he could have easily healed the wound in mere moments. But now, it not only failed to heal, but was worsening.

Xiao Yi wanted to approach, but hesitated for a moment.

His wedding with Fang Qingzhu was just a step away from completion. Interrupting it now wouldn’t be a good omen.

Sensing Xiao Yi’s hesitation and anxiety.

Fang Qingzhu tightened her grip on Xiao Yi’s hand, her gentle voice coming from beneath the red veil: “Xiao Yi, go quickly!”

“Qingzhu…”

Xiao Yi turned back to look at Fang Qingzhu beside him.

Fang Qingzhu said softly, “I’ve long been your wife; this wedding is just a ceremony. Important matters come first; go quickly, I’ll wait for you here!”

“This…”

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment as the Second Peak Master trembled all over and began to collapse backward. If not for Little Lin’s timely action to catch him, the Second Peak Master would have already fallen to the ground.

Little Lin showed a serious expression and shouted to Xiao Yi: “Boss, he’s not going to make it…”

“What?”

Xiao Yi’s expression changed, and without hesitation, he released Fang Qingzhu’s hand. In a flash, he moved to the Second Peak Master’s side, crouching down, and infused him with a surge of Origin Power.

However…

This Origin Power, capable of reviving the dead, when entering the Second Peak Master’s body, disappeared as if it had sunk into the ocean without any effect.

The Second Peak Master’s vitality continued to rapidly decline.

Zhao Wudi’s expression was grave as he cautiously touched the wound on the Second Peak Master’s chest. But upon contact, a sizzling sound was heard, and his finger was actually burned by the black energy.

This black energy, once touched, spread like a venomous snake climbing up a pole.

Tss!

Zhao Wudi’s face changed drastically, and with swift reflexes, he severed his entire hand. Almost instantly, the hand was covered by black energy and dissolved into a pool of blood.

Zhao Wudi looked solemn.

Had he not reacted quickly, this black energy might have cost him his life!

Regenerating his hand, Zhao Wudi said in a deep voice: “This energy is extremely evil and overbearing. Even the Saint King Realm’s Origin Power can only suppress it, rather than expel it.”

“Boss, what should we do? His life force is rapidly fading; he might not hold on much longer…” Little Lin looked troubled.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

This black energy was too bizarre; he’d never seen such domineering and terrifying power.

Seeing the Second Peak Master, unconscious and pale due to the depletion of Origin Power to fend off the black energy, Xiao Yi wasted no time as green light emerged from behind him.

The Divine Sealing Tree appeared out of thin air, its ten billion eight hundred thousand buds swaying gently.

“I hope it works!”

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, activating the Divine Enthronement Heaven Subduing Skill, urging the buds on the Divine Sealing Tree, causing them to tremble and condensation a drop of green liquid, which dripped down onto the black energy.

This was the Spiritual Liquid formed after the Divine Sealing Tree condensed its ten billion eight hundred thousand buds.

According to the Divine Enthronement Heaven Subduing Skill.

This liquid was known as Divine Flower Dew!

It required consuming vast amounts of Origin Power to condense from the buds of the Divine Flower. Given Xiao Yi’s current amount of Origin Power, almost a tenth was needed to condense a single drop.

Bear in mind…

He was currently in the Ultimate Holy King Twentieth Realm.

In terms of Origin Power reserves, enough to rival a Saint Emperor!

A tenth to condense a drop!

Tss! Tss!

When the Divine Flower Dew dropped onto the wound, a sizzling sound arose, followed by rising white smoke. The black energy being purified, yet a single drop of Divine Flower Dew only neutralized a third of the black energy.

“It’s effective!”

Xiao Yi’s eyes brightened as he continued activating the Divine Sealing Tree.

Further condensing three more drops.

Finally, completely eradicating the sinister and evil black energy, allowing the Second Peak Master’s gaping wound to begin healing.

Ugh…

The Second Peak Master struggled to open his eyes, instinctively muttering: “Am I, am I in the underworld? Or heaven…”

“You’re not in heaven or hell, you’re at my boss’s wedding!” Little Lin said.

“Huh?”

Only then did the Second Peak Master slowly awaken, instinctively glancing around, his gaze ultimately fixed on Xiao Yi. A touch of excitement appeared on his pale face, “Xiao, Xiao Yi, save the Pavilion Master… cough cough cough…”

In his excitement.

The Second Peak Master aggravated his wound, causing a bout of violent coughing.

“Peak Master, don’t get agitated!”

Xiao Yi continuously channeled Origin Power to stabilize the Second Peak Master’s breath, asking gravely, “What on earth happened? Why are you here? And you want me to save the Pavilion Master? With the Pavilion Master’s strength, who could hurt him? What is going on?”

The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Tao Pavilion.

He was at Half-Step Saint Emperor Realm.

Even though Xiao Yi was now at Ultimate Holy King Twentieth Realm, against the Pavilion Master, he had confidence to defeat but not to kill him.

After all.

The Saint Emperor Realm.

Was a mysterious realm unknown to Xiao Yi, one he had never encountered.

But merely the Pavilion Master being a Half-Step Saint Emperor wielded terrifying strength, marking anything related to the title as an incredibly fearsome existence.

The Second Peak Master actually sought aid from him?

To rescue the Pavilion Master?

The Second Peak Master recovered a few breaths, the black energy’s erosion ceased, gradually rejuvenating him. He sat on the cold floor, speaking painfully: “Just, just half a month ago, the Life Heaven Realm and Blissful Heaven Realm suddenly allied, sending many experts to the realm battlefield. Unharmed Heaven Realm was continuously defeated, losing six cities, with the Pavilion Master forced to join the battlefield fighting…”

Xiao Yi gasped.

Six cities consecutively taken.

It equated to losing two-thirds of Unharmed Heaven Realm’s territory on the realm battlefield!

“With the Pavilion Master joining, we barely held them off, reaching a stalemate. But three days ago, an ancient relic emerged in the battlefield realm, with Life Heaven Realm and Blissful Heaven Realm sending numerous experts inside. The Pavilion Master said it was a shrine left by the Nine Heaven Domain, possibly with a Saint Emperor inheritance, and led warriors into the relic. Unexpectedly, the relic turned out exceedingly dangerous…”

The Second Peak Master took another breath, continuing, “The warriors we sent suffered heavy losses, even the Pavilion Master was trapped inside. I was saved by the Pavilion Master, escaping narrowly, but he commanded me to return and find you, saying only you could save him…”

Xiao Yi’s expression turned grim.

Even the Half-Step Saint Emperor Pavilion Master was trapped, unable to escape.

Unharmed Heaven Realm was undoubtedly in grave peril.

If Life Heaven Realm and Blissful Heaven Realm took advantage, they might devastate Unharmed Heaven Realm, resulting in their invasion. Discovering the hidden realm passage in Heavenly Tao Pavilion, leading to Qingtian Realm.

That would place Qingtian Realm in jeopardy too!

When the lips die, the teeth feel the cold!

“Xiao Yi, Saint Heir, I beseech you, act, rescue the Pavilion Master, save Unharmed Heaven Realm…” The Second Peak Master strained to endure, attempting to kneel and plead to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi quickly stopped him.

“As the Saint Heir of Heavenly Tao Pavilion, I will not stand by idly!”

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, then exhaled long, looking at Fang Qingzhu who had already come beside him, before he could speak. He heard Fang Qingzhu’s gentle but firm voice echoing in his ear: “Xiao Yi, go! With me at home, I’ll be waiting for your return…”
