Transcending Limits

He knew her strength right from the moment he scanned her body using Semi—Divine sense. She could fight OverLords back then, but now she is already spent. The injuries from the earlier battle resulted in her old wounds to erupt again. This made her leave immediately because with each pa.s.sing second she was losing more and more of her strength.

She needed at least half a year to suppress the new injuries due to her current physical state. Sheng Tian couldn"t hope for a better opportunity.

Lu Xiya, the Alluring Snake Devil, glared at "Ling Tian". His sudden appearance scared her and she wanted to escape at first, but sensing his cultivation to be mere Earth Realm, she decided otherwise.

Her palm clenched as dark green light covered her fist and a pale green python dashed out of the glow.

The python flew straight to his throat. Sheng Tian didn"t even bother attacking, instead, he took out a blue disc and threw it in between him and the devil.

It was one of the nine inheritance treasures he got in the Hall of Inheritance—Sealing Array Disc.

A s.h.i.+ny blue hemispherical barrier enclosed him and the Snake Devil.

Lu Xiya"s expression changed from disdain to little panic. She clearly sensed that the array disc. It is a sealing array! Only an OverLord could break it. With her current strength which had already fallen, she had no hopes of doing it.

However, she inferred that the array had a time limit of functioning. So, after a bit of time, it would disappear by itself. By then, she can finish this brat and have a high chance of escaping without using those precious tokens.

With a slicing sound, a blood red sword appeared in Sheng Tian"s hand—Scarlet of Blood. It was craving for blood. Looking at the python phantom which is arriving at him, his lips curled up in disdain.

All of a sudden, a tremendous suppression crushed the phantom to the ground. At that moment, the python phantom felt like an ant facing an ancient beast. It was the Suppression by Life"s Natural Order!

At the same time, the Snake Devil, Lu Xiya also felt an unquestionable suppression on her bloodline, body and soul.

Caught off guard, she was forced to her knees "What....is....this?" she barely managed to mutter those words.

Sheng Tian chuckled Kindly and slashed at the immobile python phantom. With a crisp sound, it disintegrated into specks of profound energy.

With an innocent smile, he said "Well, well. I will tell you but you should keep it a secret, alright?"

She used all her strength to resist the domineering force and stood up "What is it?"

He spoke unhurriedly "It"s the suppression of bloodline as well as Life"s Natural Order. I"m a higher form of life compared to you, so is my bloodline."

The Snake Devil lost her composure and yelled "No way you would be at a higher order of life. My bloodline is Thousand Python bloodline which doesn"t fear any snakes!"

Sheng Tian winked "This is a top secret. I have Dragon bloodline. The dragon is not an ordinary one. It is the of the highest level. Snakes are in the family of Dragons. In fact, they are the trash of dragon family , failing to be a pseudo dragon like a flood dragon. Of course, you would be suppressed."

Lu Xiya"s breathing turned rough. Even though her soul, body, and bloodline were suppressed by him, she decided to kill him and use his bloodline for herself. The fact that his words were true needed no other evidence that the suppression she felt.

Then, she would have a bloodline she didn"t even dream of. Her eyes were filled with boundless greed.

One thing that she should have thought was why would someone like Sheng Tian bother telling his secret?

Sensing the thick killing intent, he shook his head in exasperation "Did you even try to think why I am telling you all this?"

His words were like a bucket of cold water on raging flames, her eyes popped out as Lu Xiya"s mouth opened wide. Yes, he has no benefit to gain from telling me this, Unless...

"You...." she looked at him in shock as a thought occurred in her mind.

"Yes, you"re right..." his figure flashed as the Scarlet of Blood in his hands shone with a dangerous glow. He turned into a blur and slashed at the Snake Devil.

*Bang*

With a screeching sound, Sheng Tian and Lu Xiya were both pushed back.

There was a trail of blood in the corner of his lips. Wiping his blood, his eyes shone with a terrifying glint.

Lu Xiya had a gloomy face. Blood was dripping down from her right hand. Her index finger was cut off!

The current battle strength she had was only at the peak of Sky Realm. But with his suppression from natural order and bloodline, she was barely able to show the strength of the peak Earth Realm.

This level of suppression is not just shocking, it was horrifying!

What was scarier is the fact that Sheng Tian kept her busy with his talk when her strength was at the boundary of Sky and Emperor Realm. Only when her strength fell to the Sky realm did he start fighting! And with his suppression, her strength was bought down thus putting his strength at the same level as her.

However, the terror didn"t end there, the surprise attack earlier was not to claim her life but rather her storage ring!

Caught off guard, she could only protect her vitals leaving her storage ring with little defense. The next thing she knew, her finger has been cut off along with the ring. Her trump cards were in the storage ring. The life-saving token, talisman, and even her weapon-the python scaled whip were now lost. Now she had no other trump cards, she could only fight with her body.

What a terrifyingly scheming and cunning Young Man!

She felt a s.h.i.+ver down her spine recalling the ease at which Sheng Tian did the act. Anyone else would be incomparably tense to face her, yet he...he had no difficulties at all. That smile never left his face. Involuntarily, she took a step back. The battle experience she honed with decades of practice told her one thing—to live, must escape! The scent of death was high in the air.

She gritted her death and decided to burn off her blood essence as the price to break this formation and escape.

It might cost her over 50% of her blood essence, but she didn"t care. She only wanted to live. After she recovers, maybe she would find him for revenge. That was only a thought, but if she was really brave enough, even she didn"t know.

Sheng Tian stored the storage ring inside the glazed lotus. He knew what she had in her mind. He used his Mythical Dragon Bloodline to the extreme and suppressed her blood essence to tamper her escape.

But Lu Xiya didn"t stop and forcefully burnt her blood essence. A thought came to her mind telling her to kill him with her blood essence, but she knew that it was not possible. The closer she got to him, the stronger would be the suppression.

If he used his suppression in point blank range, she might not be able to survive even a single attack!

A dark green halo wrapped her body as she burnt her precious blood essence without holding back!

The dark green halo around her intensified and her body blurred and shot at the sealing array"s barrier.

*Bang* *Bang*

*Crack* *Crack*

The next moment, with sounds of a gla.s.s shattering, the barrier was cracked open.

At the edge of the barrier was the Snake devil with a dumbfounded expression. A sword impaled her neck piercing through the profound energy armor and her tough skin.

*Blurgh*

She spatted out a mouthful of blood. Her eyes had a look of realisation and acceptance.

She was going to die!

A Heavenly Devil, who stood at the apex of the devil pyramid was going to die in the hands of a puny human who is barely any strong! What a shameful death!

At that second, her dream of uniting the world"s power and living a peaceful life with her Brother Wolf shattered!

Her wish to become the Ultimate Devil in the legends turned into dust.

The boundless pride she held crumbled.

The image of a certain lean young man s.h.i.+elding a young girl from the hooligans appeared in her mind, the corners of her beautiful eyes grew moist.

"Brother Wolf, I wasn"t able to tell you in this life, but I love you till my last breath. When I was about to become a devil, they said that my emotions would vanish. I didn"t believe it. Much to everyone"s surprise, I was able to retain my emotions and became a Heavenly Devil! Even then, my feelings for you never changed.

Regardless of how cruel and merciless you became, I know that deep inside, you are still the same rebellious youth who saved me from the bullies. You lost your parents, your sister and friends, you had all the reasons to hate this world and humans. So you became a devil.

But I, I had only one reason in becoming a devil—You. I thought I could help you once I get stronger. I wanted enough power so that we can become peacefully live our lives. But it was never enough. Even after I broke through to the Heaven Realm, my power was not enough to win the war. Fate has been cruel. I"m sorry, Lin Dong, my dear brother wolf." a tear drop fell from her eye as she collapsed on the ground.

On her last breath, she turned to Sheng Tian and begged "Please tell Brother wolf to take care. Tell him not to worry about me. He is a good ma...." the remaining words were never spoken as her breath stopped.

A deep sigh sounded as Sheng Tian looked at her with a complicated expression.
