Chapter 559: Fighting tooth and nail
When True Monarch Profound Wind swung his purple-golden blade for the last time, True Monarch Tian Zhu's external avatar was cut in two halves. After falling to the ground, his original human form turned into two pieces of Jade Bamboo, withered and lifeless.
Witnessing the severing of True Monarch Tian Zhu's external avatar, Meng Zhang and other Gold Core Daoist Masters were utterly shocked. If they weren't temporarily trapped by the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart, they would have fled long ago.
Jin Li Daoist Master controlled the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart, defending against True Monarch Mountain Peak while keeping an eye on True Monarch Profound Wind's movements. If the situation turned unfavorable, she would immediately rely on this Fourth Rank magic tool to escape.
A glance from True Monarch Profound Wind made Jin Li Daoist Master and others extremely nervous. His real arch-enemy was True Monarch Tian Zhu, and he was not interested in wasting time on a bunch of small fry.
True Monarch Profound Wind stared at True Monarch Tian Zhu in the distance, as if ready to spew fire. At this point, he no longer needed to restrain himself.
With a roar, he pounced forward.
When True Monarch Profound Wind left, Jin Li Daoist Master and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the power of the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart, they barely held their ground against True Monarch Mountain Peak, and it was already a challenging task. If True Monarch Profound Wind joined the fight, they wouldn't even stand a chance to escape.
With only one True Monarch Mountain Peak left, they could still manage to cope.
True Monarch Mountain Peak didn't exert all his strength against the four Gold Core Daoist Masters. He knew True Monarch Tian Zhu well and understood that the old fellow had hidden depths. Even if he seemed to be at a disadvantage now, who knew what hidden cards he still possessed? Even if he turned the tables in the next moment, True Monarch Mountain Peak wouldn't be surprised.
When True Monarch Mountain Peak agreed to secretly plot against True Monarch Tian Zhu, it was not only because True Monarch Profound Wind paid a great price but also because he was too wary of True Monarch Tian Zhu.No Primordial Spirit True Monarch would willingly be controlled by others, forever manipulated as a pawn. Before achieving Primordial Spirit, True Monarch Mountain Peak was obedient to True Monarch Tian Zhu, without any other thoughts.
However, people change. After achieving Primordial Spirit, he felt that being under the control of True Monarch Tian Zhu was too annoying. Sacrificing oneself and being manipulated like a chess piece just for a supposed debt of gratitude was too belittling. After all, he was a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, a ruler in his own right.
True Monarch Mountain Peak was ambitious and not content with only controlling the Yellow Lotus Sect Mountain Branch. Taking control of the East River Branch was just the first step in his plan.
He wanted to become the Yellow Lotus Sect Cult Master and completely control this vast Primordial Spirit sect. Only then would he truly become a core figure in the entire Jiuqu League.
Before achieving Primordial Spirit True Monarch, Tian Zhu was a great help to him, irreplaceable. But after achieving Primordial Spirit, True Monarch Tian Zhu became a major obstacle. He brought more trouble than benefits.
The Yellow Lotus Sect Cult Master could not be under someone's control, and the higher-ups of the Jiuqu League would not allow a core figure in the alliance to be a pawn of outsiders.
True Monarch Profound Wind and his group wanted to secretly plot against True Monarch Tian Zhu, and True Monarch Mountain Peak also wanted to use them as a tool to get rid of this big trouble.
After ambushing True Monarch Tian Zhu's external avatar, True Monarch Mountain Peak fought against Jin Li Daoist Master and others. He would wait until True Monarch Profound Wind and his group forced True Monarch Tian Zhu's true self into a desperate situation before joining that battle.
Jin Li Daoist Master and others faced a Primordial Spirit True Monarch. Their goal was to temporarily hold him back and were not willing to devote themselves to True Monarch Tian Zhu regardless of their safety.
The appearance of their fight with True Monarch Mountain Peak seemed intense, but in reality, nobody was risking their lives.
After Yang Xueyi and Qi Nanfei fought, Yang Xueyi followed Meng Zhang's orders to just hold him back without actively seeking victory. Similarly, Qi Nanfei's fighting spirit was not high. He and Yang Xueyi moved their battle group away from the other two groups, ready to escape if the situation turned unfavorable.
True Monarch Tian Zhu had already pushed the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit to a desperate situation, but now Qi Family's brothers joined the battle. He had to allocate some of his power to suppress them using his hidden cards. After a while, True Monarch Profound Wind, holding the purple-golden blade, aggressively rushed over.
True Monarch Tian Zhu was strong, but he no longer had any extra power to withstand a mid-stage Primordial Spirit expert.
Moreover, True Monarch Profound Wind, with his deep-seated grudge, was truly fighting with all his might.
After the purple-golden blade left a deep bone-visible wound on True Monarch Tian Zhu, he finally awakened.
His meticulously planned scheme of hundreds of years had completely failed. Not only did he lose the opportunity to occupy the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit's body, but he might even lose his life.
If he couldn't accomplish his plan, he would be unable to advance further. With his age and cultivation base, it meant his path was practically cut off.
Normally, True Monarch Tian Zhu would be enraged and indignant, but now he suddenly became calm, making people feel scared.
Without wasting any more time, True Monarch Tian Zhu immediately made a decision.
Silently, he interrupted the One Disappears Another Grows Dao Technique.
By forcibly stopping the Dao Technique, he suffered a deep backlash. Not only did he get seriously injured immediately, but the Grand Dao's power also destroyed the foundation of his cultivation. Let alone further progress, soon his cultivation base would rapidly regress until it was completely lost. The regression of cultivation base was a future concern; True Monarch Tian Zhu's focus was on the present.
He swallowed several pills, activated his secret technique, forcibly suppressed his injuries, and restored himself to the best state.
Without any rage or shouting, True Monarch Tian Zhu quietly exerted his True Essence, mobilizing the power of the Grand Dao to attack.
The first to suffer was Qi Family's brothers. Their shared, overburdened body was shattered by True Monarch Tian Zhu.
Qi Family's brothers were scared by the sudden eruption of True Monarch Tian Zhu and lost their confidence to continue fighting. A Primordial Spirit True Monarch without a physical body would not only suffer a drastic drop in cultivation base and combat power but would also become a preferred target for many evil cultivators.
Qi Family's brothers didn't hesitate to flee, leaving their comrades behind, and flew away using their Primordial Spirit.
"Insolent fools!" True Monarch Profound Wind cursed.
While True Monarch Tian Zhu shattered Qi Family's brothers' physical bodies, True Monarch Profound Wind managed to wound him several times with his purple-golden blade, leaving several wounds on True Monarch Tian Zhu's body. However, True Monarch Tian Zhu ignored these wounds and continued to exert the power of the Grand Dao, trying to suppress True Monarch Profound Wind.
Despite his burning desire for revenge and the countless costs he paid, True Monarch Profound Wind hesitated when faced with the explosive power of True Monarch Tian Zhu.
