C2909 Greed
Although Elder Lu's character was terrible, his strength was still worth mentioning. Even Evil Spirit Hall Master would be suppressed by him without using the Great Dao Divine Ability, let alone the Nether Essence Spirit.
Although the Nether Essence Spirit's strength had been fully unleashed, it was still not enough to deal with Elder Lu's attack.
However, he realized that Elder Lu's attention wasn't on him. Instead, it was on the Candle Dragon and Faang Yang. This made the Nether Essence Spirit have a different thought.
Looking at Elder Lu's expression, it was obvious that he had already set his eyes on Faang Yang and the Candle Dragon. Otherwise, with his strength, the Nether Essence Spirit would definitely not be able to stop him if he wanted to escape.
However, the other party had chosen to stay behind, intending to reap the benefits as a fisherman.
When he thought of this Nether Essence Spirit, he could not help but secretly smile, laughing at the other party for throwing away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seed. To them, with the existence of the Profound Bird Dragon Suppressing Pillar, subduing the Candle Dragon was merely a matter of a thought.
They weren't mortals like Faang Yang. Their cultivation had long surpassed Liao Fann's realm, but they lacked the corresponding means. If it was them who had the Profound Bird Dragon Suppressing Pillar, the Candle Dragon wouldn't be able to stir up any waves in front of them.
Elder Lu clearly had the same intention. If he could obtain the legendary Profound Bird Dragon Suppressing Pillar, perhaps he could even become an Essence Spirit Stage. At that time, not to mention the master of a branch, even becoming a Sovereign might not be impossible.
The more he thought about it, the harder it was to suppress his heart. The greed in his eyes became even harder to conceal.
If it was before, an Essence Spirit Stage was not something he could imagine. Although Elder Lu's cultivation base was at the Spirit Gathering Stage, his Divine Ability Grade was only at the Eighth Grade.
Being able to cultivate to the Spirit Gathering Stage was already his limit. It was almost impossible for him to break through again in this lifetime.
However, when he gave up, he had suddenly given him this hope. Naturally, Elder Lu wouldn't let it go.
This was human nature. Even a Spirit Gathering Stage who had broken through the Fifth Reduction of the Celestial Being would find it hard to avoid it.
The Nether Essence Spirit had long seen through Elder Lu's thoughts. That was why it had deliberately tried to deal with Elder Lu. It knew that it wouldn't be in any danger for the time being. Perhaps, it could even use this opportunity to plan properly.
Elder Lu was an elder of Upper Realm, and his status in Upper Realm wasn't low. He was much stronger than the Nether Essence Spirit. One should know that his other soul, Cool Spirit Soul, was currently staying in Upper Realm.
Although the battle between the two of them seemed shocking, both of them held back some of their strength. Instead, it was Faang Yang who did this. He looked like he wouldn't rest until one of them died. The situation of the battle was far more intense than theirs.
The Candle Dragon looked at Faang Yang with a shocked expression. Under Faang Yang's numerous techniques and treasures, the Candle Dragon had actually fallen into a disadvantageous position. Without using the Time Power, he was actually unable to do anything to Faang Yang.
With a whoosh, the Candle Dragon spat out a mouthful of white mist. However, before it could get close to Faang Yang, it was cut in half by the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand.
Even if the Candle Dragon didn't contain the Time Power in its breath, it wasn't something that could be cut in half.
Although the Dragon Scale Sword in Faang Yang's hand was only an ordinary weapon, after being tempered countless times, the power contained within it had exceeded the limits of Liao Fann's world.
Not only did it contain an existence like the Fetal Light Soul, but it also contained a wisp of Ruin Returning Power. It was this Ruin Returning Power that had directly raised the Dragon Scale Sword by several levels.
Although Faang Yang might not be able to control this energy, just the characteristic of this energy that could destroy everything was enough to make the Dragon Scale Sword extremely terrifying.
Even if it was a spiritual body like the Nether Essence Spirit, the Dragon Scale Sword would still be able to cut it in half with a single slash.
The expression of the Candle Dragon began to change continuously, from shock to shock. After all, Faang Yang had yet to use the Profound Bird Dragon Suppressing Pillar. Once he used this treasure, the Candle Dragon would have no chance to fight back.
It was all thanks to the Nether Essence Spirit. If it wasn't for the fact that he had messed up Faang Yang's consciousness and caused him to be unable to summon the Profound Bird Dragon Suppressing Pillar, the Candle Dragon would have been subdued long ago.
The Candle Dragon was obviously unwilling to sit still and wait for death. If this battle continued, he would definitely be the one to suffer. Besides, there was also a Spirit Gathering Stage Expert and a Spirit Guiding Stage Evil Devil watching from the side, causing the Candle Dragon to feel restless.
Without any hesitation, the Candle Dragon condensed another Time Power, wanting to end the battle as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he had underestimated Faang Yang's means.
Although Faang Yang had lost his consciousness, his instincts were still there. In addition to the fact that his Great Dao Divine Ability had the characteristic of destiny, it was able to detect the attack of the Candle Dragon ahead of time.
The moment the Time Power appeared, Faang Yang reacted instantly. Apart from the Great Dao Divine Ability, the only thing he could resist the Time Power was the Time Divine Technique.
With Faang Yang's current condition, although he couldn't use the Great Dao Divine Ability, the Time Divine Technique didn't have any limitations.
Under the senses of the Time Divine Technique, not only did Faang Yang avoid the Candle Dragon's Time Power, he had also prepared a counterattack. Although he couldn't control this Time Power, he could still use it to affect its power.2
Seeing that the Time Power was about to lose control again, the Candle Dragon gave up on the idea of retrieving it. There was a trace of ferociousness in its eyes as it said, "Let's die together!"
This Time Power was originally owned by the Candle Dragon. Even if it was injured, it would at most be a light injury. However, Faang Yang was different. If it was eroded by this Time Power, even if it did not die, it would definitely suffer a heavy loss.
However, the Candle Dragon had underestimated Faang Yang, who had lost his rationality. It did not expect Faang Yang to be even more ferocious than it. This Time Power alone was not enough. Faang Yang had even injected a wave of baleful Qi into it.
"This..." This time, it was the Candle Dragon's turn to be dumbfounded. After injecting the baleful Qi into it, the Time Power would no longer be under its control. At that time, the damage that it would cause would no longer be something it could control.
Faang Yang was the same. Although this baleful Qi was unleashed by him, he had no way of controlling it. Now, the two of them could only rely on their own methods to see who could withstand it first.
After an explosion, both of their figures were in a sorry state. However, the Candle Dragon was obviously more serious. After all, the surrounding aurora was also in the midst of the Time Power's explosion.
"Damn it!" The Candle Dragon instantly became flustered and exasperated. This was the first time it had encountered a human like Faang Yang. It actually felt somewhat helpless.
After this Time Power erupted, it wasn't just the two of them who were affected, but also Elder Lu and the Nether Essence Spirit on the other side.
"The timing is just right!" Elder Lu's face was filled with joy. He was waiting for the result of both sides suffering heavy losses. Then, he immediately threw away the Nether Essence Spirit and rushed towards Faang Yang and the others.
The Nether Essence Spirit smiled coldly. Not only did it not stop them, it even quietly retreated. After that, his figure gradually disappeared under Elder Lu's senses. This time, the Nether Essence Spirit had truly disappeared. It wasn't hidden in the surroundings.
Although it was a little strange, Elder Lu's heart and mind had already been occupied by greed. He didn't pay much attention to it. After that, he suddenly appeared at the spot where Faang Yang and the Candle Dragon were fighting. He stretched out his hand, wanting to capture the two of them.
