“Danger?” Both Immortal Fivecraze and the Whitewater Hound were startled, but neither of them doubted Ji Ning in the slightest. As time passed, they too began to subconsciously sense danger impending.


    Immortal Fivecraze, in particr, felt cold fear his heart. He was stunned by this. “What sort of danger is this? Why is it that I feel so threatened? Nothing’s even happened yet, but I already feel somewhat terrified?!”


    “Ji Ning?” Immortal Fivecraze looked towards Ning.


    “Uncle White, prepare to use your formations; no one is permitted to go close to Master. Old brother Fivecraze, be careful,” Ning instructed. His eyes were zing with torch-fire as he continued to scan the surrounding area.


    All of the light from the distance, including refracted light and bounced light, were all being drawn into Ning’s eyes.


    More than sixty thousand kilometers away.


    “There they are!” Ning could clearly see a giant ck ship that was flying towards them from far away. Atop the giant ck ship, there were eight blurry figures standing atop the deck. The leader was a blood-robed man who was filled with an unearthly, baleful aura. Behind him were seven ck-robed individuals.


    Ning was aware of all of the famous Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals within Stillwater Commandery, and had seen pictures of them in scrolls.


    “The leader of the Blood God Church and their seven Law Protectors?” Ning was startled. “How did they find out that my master was undergoing the tribtion here?”


    His master had led the three of them into a spatial teleport and directly arrived at this volcano within the Darknorth Sea; neither Ning nor Immortal Fivecraze knew exactly where this volcano was! Could it be that his master had himself revealed it to another? Impossible!


    “No wonder so many Earth Immortals have suffered assaults during their tribtion here in the Grand Xia as ofte,” Ning mused to himself. “It seems the culprit behind these events must have a special method to clearly sense where a Celestial Tribtion is urring.”


    This caused Ning to feel even more nervous. The power behind these things...what in the world was it?


    No wonder even the Old Patriarch had felt fear. The mere fact that this person was able to calcte where Earth Immortals were undergoing their tribtion...this was already something that was entirely inconceivable.


    “It seems that things are as Master said; I cannot fight head-on against this sort of power. If I prance about in front if it, most likely my fate can be summarized in one word; death!” Ning could dimly sense that this approaching storm was going to be like a massive tidal wave which no one could possibly block; anyone who tried would be smashed apart. Not even Patriarch Subhuti dared to attempt to block it; if Ning did, he would undoubtedly be crushed to smithereens as well.


    “I don’t dare go cause trouble for the mastermind. But little shrimps like the Blood God Church? They are nothing.” This, Ning understood well.


    ......


    “It is the Blood God Church.” Ning immediately sent a mental message to Immortal Fivecraze and Uncle White. “A total of eight have arrived; they are the sect leader and his seven Law Protectors.”


    “What? The Blood God Church? No wonder my subconscious was telling me that this threat was so dangerous.” Immortal Fivecraze’s face instantly changed dramatically as he frantically sent mentally to Ning, “Ji Ning, the leader of the Blood God Church’s power has increased dramatically; he is able topete against Celestial Immortals now. As for his seven Law Protectors, each of them increased dramatically in power as well; each are most likelyparable to me. Given the power of the eight of them...there’s no way I can block them at all. I’d probably die within a single breath’s worth of time!”


    The seven Law Protectors of the Blood God Church, thirty years ago, were nothing more than ordinary Loose Immortals! At most, they were perhaps on par with Loose Immortals who had lived for a hundred thousand years.


    Now, however, they had all increased in power enormously, at the five hundred thousand year level, very close to Immortal Fivecraze’s own level!


    “Understood.” Ning grew solemn as well.


    “What should we do? How should we stop them?” Immortal Fivecraze was restless and nervous. “They are too powerful, far more powerful than the three of us. Ji Ning, although you areparable to senior Northwalker, there are eight of them. So long as a single one of them goes to fight against junior apprentice-brother Diancai, they’ll be able to kill him!”


    During the demonheart tribtion, one’s mind would bepletely subsumed within the demonheart world. There was no way to fight back in the real world at all. Thus, Ning’s group not only had to ovee the foe, they also had to be able topletely block the eight of them. If a single one managed to slip by...


    “Leave it to me.” Ning’s eyes were filled with a sharp light. “Old brother Fivecraze, go into the grand sealing formation right away. Stay close to my master and protect him. As for these eight...leave them to me. If any make it pass me, it’ll be up to you.”


    “Fine.” Immortal Fivecraze didn’t hesitate, and the Whitewater Hound immediately let him inside.


    Ning’s eyes zed like torches as he watched the giant ck ship slowly draw near. Soon, it reached ten thousand kilometers of Ning. By now, the members of the Blood God Church could see the distant grand sealing formation with their naked eyes.


    “A grand sealing formation.” The Scion of the Blood Godughed coldly. “It seems this Immortal Diancai has already ovee the first three tribtions of wind, fire, and thunder. He is engaged in the demonheart tribtion. If we didn’te...he might very well have seeded and be a new Celestial Immortal. s...this impending Celestial Immortal of the ck-White College is about to die a stillborn death at our hands.”


    Rumble...


    A powerful divine sense came sweeping outwards in a wave, crushing down towards the eight of them. The divine sense roared angrily, “Scion of the Blood God, seven Law Protectors, I’m asking you to hurry up and leave!”


    “Ji Ning! He lives up to his reputation as the number one peerless genius of the Conve of Immortal Destiny; his divine sense is able to stretch over ten thousand kilometers.” The Scion’s own divine sense interacted with Ning’s. “Ji Ning, your master is undergoing his tribtion, yes? Don’t deny it; we know it all. Heh heh...I can see that your master is only being protected by yourself, Fivecraze, and that Whitewater Hound spirit-beast of yours. Ahaha, that’s too weak. With this amount of power...there’s no way you’ll be able to stop me.”


    The Scion felt absolute self-confidence.


    “Scion of the Blood Good, if you leave now, then I, Ji Ning, shall remember your kindness in showing mercy on this day,” Ning sent back angrily through divine sense. “But if you attack...then I, Ji Ning, shall begin a death-feud with your Blood God Church!”


    The Scion could sense the savagery and madness within Ning’s voice. He couldn’t help but feel briefly startled...but then he snickered, “Death-feud? Not even the Northmont n of Stillwater was able to do anything to me; I’m supposed to be afraid of you?”


    “Seven Law Protectors, leave Ji Ning to me; I’ll handle him. As for Fivecraze and that spirit-beast, I’ll leave them to you. While dealing with Fivecraze...go ahead and kill Immortal Diancai,” the Scion sent. “Up to the task?”


    “Don’t worry, sect leader.”


    “Just leave it to us, sect leader.”


    The seven Law Protectors all feltplete confidence. In truth, they were only wary of Ji Ning; after all, Ji Ning was simply too mysterious. However, they now only had to deal with Immortal Fivecraze and that spirit-beast. They were still quite confident in being able to do so! The seven of them, joined together, were able topletely crush and dominate Fivecraze. As for the Whitewater Hound spirit-beast? ording to the intelligence report, it had previously been merely at the Wanxiang level in the past; although it was now at the Void-level, it had risen too fast and most likely did not have a solid foundation. Killing it would be effortless!


    “Fine!” The Scionughed and said, “Then let’s do it!”


    BANG!


    The ck ship suddenly drew near at high speed. Three thousand kilometers. Two thousand. One thousand...


    “Attack,” the Scion shouted mentally.


    “Let’s go!” The seven Law Protectors came out in a great show of force as the seven of them soared into the skies like seven ck shadows. Immediately afterwards, streaks of bloody light began to swirl around them, joining together into a Blood Dragon that was more than three thousand meters long. This Blood Dragon was covered with distinct draconic scales, had long draconic whiskers, and a pair of eyes that were filled with a killing intent.


    Since they were reputed as the Seven Law Protectors, they naturally had their own joint formation. Back in the past, when they were weak, they had relied on this formation to roam Stillwater Commandery fearlessly; now that they were powerful, they were close to the level of a Loose Immortal who had survived for a million years.


    Whoosh...


    The Blood Dragon flew to one side, avoiding Ji Ning. The giant ck warship, however, flew straight towards him. Atop the deck stood the Scion of the Blood God, whose eyes were filled with fiendish savagery. His divine sense once more shed against Ning’s as he sent, “Ji Ning, you can block me, but you can’t block my seven Law Protectors. Your master is definitely going to die. As for you... I actually want to see for myself exactly how powerful the number one genius of the Conve of Immortal Destiny is!”


    “Hmph.” Ningughed coldly as he stood there...but his heart was clenching!


    For the sake of protecting his master, Ning had made many preparations. Although the eight members of the Blood God Church were seemingly powerful... Ning waspletely confident in being able to stop them. There was no way the eight of them could pose a mortal threat to him...but his premonitions of danger couldn’t be wrong. Where, then, was the danger hiding?


    “All I can do is handle it when ites,” Ning mused to himself.


    ......


    Immortal Fivecraze stood a few dozen meters away from Immortal Diancai, seven Immortal swords swirling around him. His heart was filled with worry. “Ji Ning said that he’ll block them, and that any that get pass him I am to handle. But the Scion of the Blood God is now dealing with him while the seven Law Protectors are attacking this way. How can I block seven of them? If I, a Loose Immortal who has lived a few hundred thousand years, were to perish, it wouldn’t matter... but junior apprentice-brother was able to ovee even six nine-sets of the thunder tribtion. If he were to be killed by the Blood God Church, that would be too unfair.”


    “No matter what... even if I have to give up this old life of mine... I have to protect my junior apprentice-brother.” Immortal Fivecraze gritted his teeth, staring towards the distant Blood Dragon.


    The seven Law Protectors, in the form of a Blood Dragon, radiated an unearthly, terrifying aura.


    As the Blood Dragon drew close, it suddenlyshed out with its tail. In truth, its tail was actually formed from multiple Immortal-ranked magic treasures, including Immortal swords and ribbons!


    Rumble...


    The tail mmed down directly upon the grand sealing formation, instantly causing it to crack.


    At this moment, the Whitewater Hound, who had previously been lying there silently, rose to his feet. Next to him appeared a ck-robed youth; it was Ning’s Primaltwin! Ning could sense that danger wasing, and so he left his true body outside the formation to serve as the first line of defense, while he had his Primaltwin remain within the formation to serve as the second line of defense.


    “You want to harm my master?!” A fierce light shed through the eyes of the ck-robed Ning, and suddenly, nine seemingly translucent pitch-ck Immortal swords suddenly appeared out of nowhere next to him.


    “Nine of them?” Immortal Fivecraze was both surprised and delighted. “So there were actually nine of those top-grade Immortal-ranked flying swords... and Ji Ning, that little kid, actually hid his Primaltwin here. This little fellow...he scared the crap out of me. But will his Primaltwin be able to block these seven Law Protectors?”


    Immortal Fivecraze knew very well that he himself was not. It would all be up to Ning.


    Riiiiiip.


    Nine sword-tears in the sky suddenly appeared, like deep furrows that had been raked into it. The nine tears were like an enormous web of swords that swept towards the giant Blood Dragon.


    “Break!” The Blood Dragon let out an enraged roar that sounded like the merged voices of all seven Law Protectors, and at the same time it once more pped its tail towards it.


    Riiiiiiip!


    sh!


    Whoosh!


    Nine sword-tears, eachparable to the strike of an ordinary Celestial Immortal. Whenbined...the power of this blow surpassed even the power of Ning’s true body! When the attacks collided, the tail of the Blood Dragon, its most powerful part, instantly shattered apart. The Immortal-ranked magic treasures were all knocked flying back... and then the rest of the Blood Dragon was shattered as well. The nine sword-tears then continued forward in beautiful arcs, chopping towards the seven Law Kings.


    “Die.” The ck-robed Ning’s eyes were filled with nothing but coldness.
