Chapter 377-Karina
The woman regarded him with disdain, flicking her fingers to transform him into a paste of meat.
"Hmm, consider it your punishment," she stated.
The three ancestors were stunned by the brutality exhibited by the demonic sect leader, who had slain her own powerful subordinate.
Suddenly, the meat paste reconstituted itself and regenerated swiftly, rebuilding Gavin's body.
"Hehe, it's a pleasure to be killed by the sect leader," Gavin commented.
His face was pale, but he held no anger and even found a strange sense of joy in the experience.
Ignoring Gavin, the woman shifted her gaze to the three ancestors and sneered, "Hmmp, this clan is truly weak and pathetic. I can't fathom how their current patriarch mustered the audacity to steal my treasures."
The 9th ancestor retorted, "Hmmp, demonic woman, don't you dare slander my clan."
"Yeah, we know your character; you're just aiming to create a bloodbath," added the 10th ancestor.
They approached the 8th ancestor to offer assistance, but they were helpless against the effects of the black needle.
"Hehe, this lord truly doesn't need a reason to attack anyone, but we will ascertain the truth after I've slain your current patriarch," the woman proclaimed.
"You can surrender him to me, and we'll withdraw, or I'll force my true body to descend here personally and raze your clan to the ground."
Her threat carried weight; the demonic sect ranked among the top three strongest clans, alongside the Royal and Alexander Clans.
Although the Fang Clan also held a place in the top ten, they were significantly weaker compared to the Demonic Sect.
The 8th ancestor shouted at her, "Remove this thing from me, or you won't leave this place alive."
The woman sneered in response, saying, "Hehe, nice threat. It's a pity the needle will enter your body and slowly consume your blood until nothing remains, haha."
As she spoke, she slapped her palm towards the three ancestors, leaving them shocked.
Boom!
The 8th ancestor managed to escape with the assistance of the other two, and witnessing her display of power, the demonic cultivators were invigorated and let out triumphant shouts.
"Kill for Her Majesty!"
"Kill!"
Boom!
Boom!
The three ancestors were blasted to the ground, left in a wretched state.
"Cough!"
"What? She's strong," they realized.
Even if they called upon the 5th and 6th ancestors, the outcome would likely remain the same.
It was a bitter pill to swallow, but they had to acknowledge that the demonic sect leader, Karina, was formidable, even without her real body being present.
"Hehe, now you'll die if you keep hiding that bastard," Karina sneered, ready to launch another attack.
However, two more ancestors suddenly appeared before her.
"Karina, why are you doing this to my clan? Haven't you taken enough?" questioned the 4th Ancestor, who had arrived on the scene.
In terms of age, they belonged to the same era.
The 4th Ancestor was dressed in elegant white attire, and her aura matched Karina's peak True Saint level.
Beside her stood the 5th ancestor, her cousin, a Peak-tier True Saint.
Karina's sneer deepened as she responded, "Lilia, I told you to bring that bastard patriarch of yours. He snatched my treasure, or else I'll kill you and parade you naked in front of everyone."
Her aura grew more intense, her animosity clear toward the woman who had once been her best friend.
The Demonic Sect was one of the youngest clans among the top 10, but they had rapidly ascended in strength, surpassing even many ancient clans within just a few thousand years.
Karina had once been a disciple of the sect's founder and Lilia's best friend.
They had met in a secret realm, where they had teamed up to conquer a trial and ultimately emerged victorious, obtaining the legacy it offered.
However, their friendship had soured when Lilia learned that Karina was the chosen inheritor of the demonic sect.
Lilia distanced herself from Karina, and their once-close relationship remained a secret between the two of them.
Undeterred, Lilia spoke up, "You should leave this place. The Buddhist Clan is already en route to confront you. They'll inflict injuries upon your incarnation if they succeed in killing it."
She communicated this through telepathy.
Despite their enmity, Lilia still cherished their shared memories.
Karina smirked in response, retorting, "So what if they come? I'll eliminate them all. As long as you persist in protecting your clan's patriarch, I'll unleash a true massacre."
As she spoke, her aura underwent a transformation.
She then launched an attack toward the three ancestors lying on the ground.
"No!"
Boom!
Lilia shouted, taken aback by Karina's disregard for her plea.
She had no desire to engage in true combat against her former friend, but her intervention was too late to save the three fallen ancestors.
The ground revealed a massive crater, and the forms of the three ancestors were no longer visible, having vanished from the surface of the immortal plane.
"Karina!" Lilia dashed toward Karina, drawing her sword.
Boom!
Karina effortlessly deflected Lilia's attack, retaliating with a counter-attack that struck her abdomen.
Boom!
Lilia was stunned, realizing that Karina, who had been on par with her thousands of years ago, had already reached such a level of power.
"You're already at the semi-Saint Sovereign level?"
Lilia exclaimed in shock. Karina had only needed a final push to ascend to the celestial plane.
Karina smirked and taunted, "Hehe, regret offending me? If you'd handed over that bastard, I wouldn't be this furious."
She looked at Lilia with a smile but then glanced upward with an evil grin.
"Old bald donkeys, since you're here, don't expect to leave alive," Karina declared.
She conjured a small black energy and hurled it into space.
Three True Saint-level individuals, who had been awaiting an opportune moment to attack, were caught off guard by Karina's sudden power surge.
They hadn't expected her to reach the level only their master had achieved.
They had planned to escape, but it was too late; Karina had already detected them.
Boom!
A voice of horror rang out from the three monks. Ten seconds later, the voice faded, and their auras vanished completely.
"Hehe, dead," Karina grinned, then turned her attention back to Lilia.
"It's your last chance, given our shared memories as comrades. Hand over that bastard and cripple him in front of me," Karina offered.
