Chapter 1472
Self-Humiliation (1)


Humph!
Huffing a grunt, Keeper Ling’s eyes contained a deep level of mockery at the threat. He didn’t believe the idea for one second.
Bai Ning, you are too conceited. Even the demon king lost against me, what can you do with your measly strength?
That said, a huge amount of pressuring wave came sweeping out of the senior’s body, causing the weak to cower to their knees under this overwhelming strength.
Right now, aside from Bai Ning, Winger and Di Ling Yan, everyone else have been affected to some extent. This includes First Elder who also had a change in color due to the pressure because he’s obviously not of the caliber.
Bai Ning naturally knows why the other side could act so arrogant. Darkening in her gaze, she remains cautious but still smirked anyway:
Keeper Ling… In my life, there aren’t many whom I care for, my daughter is among one of them whom I do. In the past, I only confronted the Celestial Palace because I couldn’t turn a blind eye to the cruel and evil deeds you bunch did, but this time…. If my daughter wants to overturn the Celestial Palace, then I will accompany her!

Boom!
A storm suddenly explodes out of the woman’s body as well, causing the very earth under her feet to tremble under that might and countered the pressure from the other side. In comparison to the grumpy Keeper’s strength, it’s no weaker nor stronger, that’s Bai Ning’s reliance. Not by turning to others for help, but by using her own strength to fend off the enemy!

You…
Keeper Ling’s face completely changed at this change of event.
No one knows better than this old guy here about how hard it was to break through to a Demi Divine Lord. Unlike the previous levels, once one reaches the High Divine stage, it’s no longer about stuffing the cultivator with power anymore, that won’t work. The key to having another breakthrough at their level would be enlightenment plus power. If either aspect was lacking, the feat would be null when attempted.
For Keeper Ling, his own achievement was one hundred years after he reached a bottleneck at the High Divine. If not for a fated encounter he experienced at some point in his life, he would be like all the rest and be stuck! And now Bai Ning got to the same level as him in a measly two years while he spent a hundred years? That’s absolutely shocking!
The Demon Realm already has a Di Cang, I can’t allow them to have another Bai Ning to add to their roster! Today, this woman must die!
Not going to waste anymore words, he knew what must be done and punched the air to release a preemptive attack. The recoiling force from the blast roared out, breaking the space and shooting over like a invisible rocket.
Bai Ning had no trouble seeing through this since she’s been on alert the entire time. In a flash of her body, she quickly dodges the initial punch and drew her longsword to recounter with an arcing wind blade of her own.
However, the efforts were apparently futile because a barrier immediately materializes and blocked the swipe before it could even make contact. Snickering in the face,
Bai Ning, as a fellow Demi Divine Lord, you are not my opponent since you’ve only recently reached this level. My experience and ability to control my energy is above yours.

Just like the requirement in reaching this stage, the differentiating factor also changes for people at their level. It’s no longer about having more brute strength, it’s about being able to wield said power that’s residing inside their core.
In this case, Keeper Ling has had many more years over Bai Ning in grasping all of his abilities and what he could use or not use. That means he’s more efficient and more precise in his attacks, leaving the old Keeper able to last longer and eventually come out on top of the woman as the fight drags out. This was also the reason why he’s considered the strongest Keeper of this current era, he’s able to control the output of his powers much better than everyone else!
Of course, if all of the Keepers from the Celestial Palace joined hands to fight Ling then he wouldn’t stand a chance. But what’s the odd of that happening? Slim if next to impossible!
