Chapter 460: The Fall of the Four Pavilions, The Rise of Cai Lin Pavilion!
As Wu Tian hovered in the center of the four Venerables, they all froze in place.
Did he intend to take them all on at once?
Impossible.
Yet, just as they began gathering their attacks, the space around them twisted violently.
It was a surge of immense spatial force enough to instantly shred any Dou Ancestor trapped within.
But Wu Tian stood unfazed.
Raising both hands, an overwhelming aura erupted from his body.
Along with it, a crimson tidal wave spread outward.
This was not ordinary fire it was a fusion of multiple Heavenly Flames.
At this moment, Wu Tian had already absorbed eight of the twenty three ranked flames:
Fallen Heart Flame, Green Lotus Core Flame, Yin Yang Dual Flame, Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, Xuan Huang Flame, Bone Chilling Flame, Ocean Heart Flame, and Nether Poison Flame.
One man alone wielded eight Heavenly Flames, a power capable of shaking the heavens and earth.
The instant Wu Tian unleashed his fire domain, the entire space was sealed off.
The four Venerables inside felt their expressions change drastically.
The sheer ferocity of the energy around them was undeniable.
Even they, as Dou Venerates, were trapped within.
This wasn't a mere Dou Technique it was a space confining ability.
A realm forged from Heavenly Flames, making it one of the most terrifying places on the Dou Qi Continent!
"Venerable Lei, Venerable Sword, will you submit to Cai Lin Pavilion?"
Wu Tian's gaze was indifferent as he looked at them.
There was no hostility only a simple choice.
Refusal would mean immediate death.
Before Venerable Lei could respond, Venerable Sword acted first.
A thousand swords materialized behind him.
"You think I'd bow to you? Keep dreaming! Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart!"
Countless sword beams, each gleaming with icy light, tore through space, hurtling toward Wu Tian.
"Stubborn fool."
Wu Tian clasped his hands together, and a sphere of crimson flames condensed between them.
With a flick of his wrists, the fire exploded outward.
The moment the flames clashed with the sword beams, space itself distorted.
Yet, every single sword was instantly incinerated, unable to resist the devouring flames.
The raging fire surged toward Venerable Sword.
His eyes narrowed as he conjured a massive greatsword, enveloping himself in its glow.
"Hmph! Impressive, but you think you can trap me?!"
In his sword fusion state, Venerable Sword shot backward like a meteor.
It was the same technique he had used when he arrived at Thunder Mountain
But this time, instead of pointing his sword at his enemies, he was using it to flee!
He knew he was no match for Wu Tian.
His only hope was to return to Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, where the array formations could boost his strength.
With the Pavilion's defenses, he could at least survive.
But that was only if he could escape.
Wu Tian had no intention of letting him go.
With a simple motion, the fire barrier ignited.
In an instant, the entire space was engulfed in flames.
Venerable Sword, still in his sword fusion state, was swallowed whole.
Venerable Lei watched in horror.
Though he could not feel heat as a lightning cultivator, his face turned pale.
Because he knew
The power gap between them was far too great.
Even if he had Yao Chen's former strength, he still wouldn't be a match for Wu Tian.
"Gulp…"
The crimson flames slowly faded.
And in the sky…
One person was missing.
A Dou Venerate had perished body and soul erased completely.
No warning.
No trace.
Nothing but terror.
Wu Tian's figure flickered as he appeared before Venerable Lei.
"Venerable Lei, what's your answer?"
Venerable Lei's face was ghastly pale.
He wanted to refuse.
But there was no way he could fight back.
Yet, surrendering so easily would mean losing all dignity.
He was not like Venerable Yellow Spring, who was willing to betray anyone for survival.
He had always carried himself with pride even his dealings with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were open.
But now…
If he simply submitted, how could he face himself?
"Venerable Yan, my Wind Lightning Pavilion has existed for "
"Boom!"
Wu Tian snapped his fingers.
Scarlet flames ignited on Venerable Lei's body.
Though the fire did not consume him instantly, it flickered dangerously
As if warning him that one more word would mean death.
"I… I am willing to submit to Cai Lin Pavilion!"
Venerable Lei clenched his fists, his expression full of resentment as he shouted.
"Good! Very good! A wise man knows when to retreat!"
Wu Tian's eyes gleamed.
He had deliberately spared Venerable Lei for balance.
Even though Venerable Yellow Spring would be handling most of the affairs, there needed to be someone to keep him in check.
And Venerable Lei, with his rigid personality, was perfect for an Enforcement Hall.
"Since you have both made your choice, it's time to show some sincerity."
Wu Tian smirked at the two Venerables.
Their faces darkened.
"Venerable Yan… what do you mean?"
"You know what I mean."
Wu Tian's voice was cold.
Life or death the choice was theirs.
After a long silence, they gritted their teeth and signed the contract.
Venerable Feng watched the scene unfold, sighing in relief.
Having a "big brother" like Wu Tian truly was a blessing.
If his brother hadn't already sold him off, he would have ended up just like them.
"Now then, Venerable Yellow Spring…"
Wu Tian turned to him with a smile.
"It's time to visit Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion."
Venerable Yellow Spring bowed.
"As you command, Pavilion Master!"
With that, he vanished.
Everyone present knew
By nightfall, Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion would cease to exist.
No…
The entire Four Pavilion Alliance was gone.
Only one remained.
Cai Lin Pavilion!
