CHAPTER 1459: CHAPTER 1459: GATE OF THE SIX PATHS

This old witch is really tough when she gets serious!

Ye Qiu kept defending himself, feeling the pressure escalate. His strength, which had just advanced to the third tier, dropped to the second in the blink of an eye.

In contrast, Old Lady Bai, despite her age, was more robust than this young man. Her strength could easily punch dozens of bulls into smithereens.

Facing such ferocity, Ye Qiu dared not retaliate recklessly and could only keep dodging.

Ye Qiu was clearly at a disadvantage. Old Lady Bai’s attacks were fierce and lethal, showing no mercy toward Ye Qiu.

She was nearly driven to madness by Ye Qiu and had no intention of holding back. Especially considering she was the last one to take action; another defeat would mean a complete loss of dignity for the Descendants.

Just thinking about eight Descendants dealing with a native, even if they all restrained themselves to one realm, and still losing was a complete disgrace.

At this moment, Ye Qiu felt like a small boat in a stormy sea, with each of Old Lady Bai’s strikes like a giant wave.

Luckily, Ye Qiu managed to avoid capsizing, maintaining his stability amidst the swaying.

In such a situation, Old Lady Bai was naturally unsatisfied that after such a dense barrage of attacks, she still couldn’t take down this brat.

Her movements suddenly halted, and Old Lady Bai changed her stance dramatically.

Old Lady Bai’s hands formed seals continuously, and soon, her hands became increasingly radiant, like a giant bright lamp, dazzling even in broad daylight.

The Turquoise Pool Saintess arched her eyebrows in surprise, "When did mother teach her the secret techniques of the Turquoise Pool?"

Old Lady Bai was now displaying one of the top ten supreme techniques of the Turquoise Pool Holy Land, even if it ranked at the bottom, it symbolized the highest achievement of the Holy Land.

Even the Turquoise Pool Saintess had just begun to learn this technique, while Old Lady Bai had clearly mastered it long ago, her proficiency far exceeding the Saintess’s.

As the Turquoise Pool Saintess glanced at Ye Qiu, aware of Old Lady Bai’s use of this technique, she knew Ye Qiu was in danger.

She wanted to warn Ye Qiu but hesitated, considering her current identity aligned her with the Descendants, making her Ye Qiu’s adversary. Speaking up would be inappropriate, especially recalling Ye Qiu’s previous refusal of her offer, she abandoned the idea of warning him.

"Let’s see if you can still create a miracle against the Protector of the Turquoise Pool Holy Land."

The changes in Old Lady Bai had already prompted Ye Qiu to prepare himself tenfold.

Her crystalline hands no longer seemed to belong to an old lady but to a maiden.

However, what concerned Ye Qiu more was how different these hands had become, as if Old Lady Bai had poured all her power into her palms.

This made her hands appear extraordinarily exceptional.

"Why do I feel like if she slaps me again, I won’t be able to dodge?" Ye Qiu’s brows furrowed, sensing an ominous feeling. It was the first time such a sensation emerged against a Descendant.

For Ye Qiu to suddenly have this feeling, it was clear this brewing attack was extraordinary and unlike anything from the previous Descendants.

Considering this opponent was the Protector of the Turquoise Pool Saintess, who was the fourth of the Saint Heirs, her backing was surely formidable, thus her Protector was bound to be much more terrifying than the others.

With this in mind, Ye Qiu suddenly realized that the strong adversaries he faced before were probably protecting Saint Heirs weaker than the Turquoise Pool Saintess, implying her Protector’s power naturally exceeded others.

"In terms of true strength, this old lady definitely surpasses the others, only they are now suppressed by Earth’s laws, unable to show their true realm."

Ye Qiu realized he had underestimated his opponent. Despite her being an old woman, her true power surpassed all the present Descendants.

As Ye Qiu marveled, Old Lady Bai’s hands were imbued with a holy aura. Her pure, crystal-clear hands separated, and right then, Ye Qiu felt an encompassing light.

Ye Qiu squinted.

The palm descending looked just like the scene of the Buddha pressing down on Sun Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain.

Guanyin Palm, though last in the ranking, its destructive power was undeniable; otherwise, it wouldn’t be deemed a top-notch method.

Those who mastered Guanyin Palm had hands like pristine crystals, appearing exquisite. As Old Lady Bai used this technique, she seemed rejuvenated. The indigenous named her an old hag, something she had long resented. Now, as she slapped down and saw Ye Qiu in disbelief, she felt a trace of pride.

"You native, witnessing our Turquoise Pool Holy Land’s supreme technique is your honor. Even in defeat, it’s an honorable one!" Old Lady Bai suddenly burst into laughter.

On the ground, other Descendants were shocked. Just the Guanyin Palm, delivered at the Emperor level, was terrifying, making one shiver and not daring to act. What if it was used at the Void Shattering level?

The Descendants couldn’t help but consider how they would counter such a technique.

Ye Qiu’s focus was captured by the incoming palm until it was almost upon him before he snapped back.

His heart raced. This Cultivation Technique even confused the mind.

No longer hesitating, Ye Qiu quickly retreated, noticing that Old Lady Bai had already anticipated his escape.

Swish.

The Guanyin Palm suddenly enlarged; no, from the start, it was a massive phantom. The palm formed by this phantom seemed so real.

Against the Guanyin Palm’s size, Ye Qiu appeared minuscule; no matter how fast, he couldn’t instantly flee its reach.

Boom!

The palm landed.

Ye Qiu wasn’t Sun Wukong, unwilling to be pinned under the Five Fingers Mountain. He yelled fiercely, activating the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique.

In that moment, customarily, Ye Qiu would harness the power of the Six Paths, but unexpectedly, as he activated the Technique, a new halo emerged within him, flickering with four characters.

Gate of the Six Paths!

Ye Qiu’s consciousness stood before the Gate of the Six Paths; unable to resist, he pushed it open.

...

Boom!!!

As the Guanyin Palm descended, Old Lady Bai was smug, believing the outcome was settled. If this supreme technique couldn’t beat a native, her title as a Protector was unworthy.

Yet, just as she reveled in her achievement, Old Lady Bai noticed the other Descendants looking at her with a baffling expression.

Eh?

Old Lady Bai spun around, stunned.

At that moment, Ye Qiu was shielded by a halo; her attack hadn’t harmed him at all.

"I don’t believe you can withstand it all," White Granny prepared to strike again.

Swish.

An intense light shot from Ye Qiu’s eyes, causing White Granny’s heart to tremble. In that instant, gazing into Ye Qiu’s eyes, she glimpsed scenes of hell on earth.

White Granny froze.

Everyone held their breath as the young figure in the sky reached out toward her.

It seemed as if he grasped nothing, yet it felt like he grabbed something indeed.

Then, with a whoosh, Old Lady Bai plummeted from the sky.
