Just as they thought that victory was assured and were converging toward Laden with sinister expressions…
A peculiar smile suddenly appeared on the little boy’s face as he bit down on the tip of his tongue and quickly recited a mantra in an unfamiliar language, following which his aura instantly soared to the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage.
He pressed his hands to the white cube, and a sharp crimson light burst forth, shattering the cube around him.
Whoosh!
Laden fled into the distance at extreme speed.


Cassidy, Xiao Ze, Merlin, and Tobias’ expressions drastically changed as they sprang forth in pursuit.

Tina! Take me with you!
An Lin yelled.
Tina immediately held onto An Lin as the two of them flashed through space in pursuit of Laden.
Laden fled at an alarming speed, and everyone was finding it quite difficult to catch up.

Hmph! You made my cultivation base regress and damaged my dao foundation. Cassidy, Tobias, Merlin, Bryce… None of you guys are getting away with this! I will tell Emperor Yi Deng to relegate all of you to the pits of hell, where you shall be tormented for eternity!
Hatred and ferocity appeared on the little boy’s face as he turned to look at his pursuers.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone cry for their daddy in such a dignified manner!
Xiao Ze sneered.
When he caught sight of Xiao Ze, Laden’s expression faltered slightly before coming to a sudden realization.
It’s you… Hehe, you useless dragon! I beat you to the brink of death last time, and you still dare to taunt me?


You wanna fight again? Daddy’s boy!
Xiao Ze glared at Laden with a taunting expression as he raised his middle finger.
Laden couldn’t be bothered dealing with Laden, and he turned forward to focus on fleeing. Now was not the time to let his emotions get the better of him.
Right at this moment, a white light flashed, and a fairy along with a man appeared beside Xiao Ze.


Tina’s tiny face was a little pale, indicating that she had clearly overexerted herself to get to this point.

Master, what are you doing here? Be careful of Laden’s counterattack,
Xiao Ze exclaimed.
An Lin didn’t reply to Xiao Ze’s concerns. Instead, he glared at Laden, who was fleeing in the distance.
Laden was still fleeing at full speed when he suddenly thought of all the tragedies that happened to him before, and tears poured forth from his eyes.

Waah…
He began to bawl his eyes out like a small child who had just had his toy snatched away from him.
Immediately afterward, he was struck by an unbearable stomach pain as something burst forth.

Pfff…
Laden gripped his stomach as his body trembled violently.
This power was all too familiar to him. It was the very same power that had brought humiliation and trauma upon him!
He continued to flee as he roared with rage,
An Lin! It’s you again! I swear I will kill you!!


Yeah, love you too.
An Lin fell back after unleashing his two special spell techniques because Tina didn’t have any more energy to give chase.


However, his two special spell techniques were somewhat effective in halting Laden’s momentum.
It was only for a split second, but just that split second of deceleration was enough for Laden to finally fall into everyone’s attack range.
Xiao Ze transformed into a black dragon before summoning countless bolts of lightning, which crashed down upon Laden.
Laden evaded as quickly as he could, but his skin was still charred black by a few bolts of lightning.
Just as Laden was dodging the bolts of lightning, a crimson sword glowing with specks of white light pierced through the air en route to his heart.
Laden had unleashed a mystic technique to boost his cultivation base to the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, thereby allowing him to unleash a movement technique to evade the Cursed Star Blood Sword. The sword managed to draw blood from his waist, but it failed to land a vital blow.

Hmph! You want to kill me? What a joke! I’m no weaker than any of you now, so chase me all you want! The moment Emperor Yi Deng notices you all will be the moment you die!
Laden turned around with a cold sneer that was devoid of any worry or fear.
He didn’t know why the Holy Disciples would form an alliance with An Lin and the others, but assisting humans in an assassination attempt was a cardinal crime that would have their Holy Disciple titles stripped from them and draw upon them endless torment inflicted by a Dao Integration Stage Emperor!
This was the cardinal offense of betrayal!
However, to Laden’s surprise, Cassidy and the others remained completely unconcerned. The crimson sword hadn’t struck any of his vitals, so why were they so happy? What was going on?



Laden, I think you can keep skipping around for about three more minutes,
Cassidy said with a seductive smile.

What?
Laden’s brows furrowed.

You’re going to taste the punishment of the holy blood soon.

Tobias chuckled with a sinister expression.
Laden was starting to get a bit nervous. Holy blood? Punishment? He didn’t understand any of that!
However, it didn’t look like Cassidy and the others were feigning expressions of triumph.
Cassidy summoned the Cursed Star Blood Sword back to her side before licking the blade with her dainty little tongue.
This is a weapon smeared with lethal poison…

That’s right, Cassidy had stained her sword with An Lin’s blood!
This blood was lethal to someone like Laden, who had fallen to the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage. He would definitely be unable to withstand the purification of the holy blood, and he would die during the process.
Cyril, who was at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage, was a perfect precedent!


One minute later.
Thump, thump, thump…
Laden’s heart rate inexplicably accelerated as a destructive power swept through his entire body.

Ah…!

He roared with agony as he clutched at his heart and plummeted from the sky.
Boom!
His nude body crashed into the ground, leaving a massive crater below him.
Cassidy, Xiao Ze, Tobias, and Merlin also caught up to Laden at this point. However, they were in no hurry to strike. Instead, they surrounded Laden, leaving him with no avenues for escape.
That’s right, there was no need for them to dirty their hands.
Laden had already fallen victim to the holy blood, so his fate was sealed.

What… what did you do to me…

Laden trembled as he spoke with great difficulty.
He couldn’t even stand up anymore, let alone continue to flee.
An Lin and Tina also arrived, and they finally heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the little boy in the crater.

We didn’t do anything. You have only fallen victim to the holy blood! The purification effect of the holy blood cannot be endured by just anyone. Trash like you will suffer an inevitable death!
Cassidy announced in a triumphant voice.
All they needed to do now was to watch as Laden died, so they might as well let him know why he was going to die.
Sure enough, Laden’s condition continued to worsen as his body began to spasm.

Ah…
A peculiar moan of bliss suddenly sounded.
Everyone faltered upon hearing this. They then turned their eyes to the little boy, only to discover that his face was flushed with what seemed to be… enjoyment?
Rumble…
The sky suddenly darkened as lightning clouds gathered and heavenly might descended upon the world.

This is…
An Lin surveyed the scene before him with incredulity on his face.
Not only had Laden not died, but his eyes were extremely bright. It was as if he had been transformed as his aura became vaster by the second.

Hehe… so this is the blood of the Holy Leader? It really is wonderful… It has purified my entire body and soul, and I’m about to break through to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage again!

That’s right, Laden had absorbed An Lin’s blood and broken through his bottleneck, which meant that he was now enduring a tribulation transcendence!
