Chapter 1215: Adaptive Power, the Third Sovereign of Radiance!

Seeing her scrambling and rolling backward in retreat, Lu Ding finally stopped teasing her.

This had scared Lei Xiao badly.

She almost truly believed Lu Ding was going to give her another taste of it.

It hurt too much!!!

Completely unbearable.

She felt like she was going to die from the pain right then and there.

Scrambling to her feet: "Brother Lu, why didn't you use this thing earlier?"

"If you'd used it earlier, that guy would've probably confessed while crying and wailing."

Lu Ding found an excuse: "I don't have the antidote. I don't know how to cure it."

"What if she's so focused on the pain that she can't even speak?"

Lei Xiao: "You don't know how to cure it?"

Don't rush, she's roasting.

"Brother Lu, I once heard a tongue twister. If you use a venomous snake's venom to poison a venomous snake, will the venomous snake be poisoned to death by the venomous snake's venom?"

"This thing of yours, if it stabs you, would you hurt?"

Lu Ding shot her a glance: "I'm not trying it."

He walked straight forward.

This reckless troublemaker.

After wrecking herself, she still wanted to wreck Lu Ding.

"Hey, Brother Lu, just try it, what if? Brother Lu, Brother Lu."

Lei Xiao chased after him, all the way back to Wushuang City.

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Deep within Tianjue Great Mountain.

An ordinary-looking cave.

The black-robed figure who had previously wielded the long spear was fleeing in a sorry state, his body staggering. When he landed, each step left a bloody footprint. He stumbled and crashed into the cave, his eyes filled with terror.

If it hadn't been for his special life-saving tricks, he probably would have died right there on the spot.

Too terrifying!

That person was too terrifying!!

In his mind, the figure of the scholar-warrior sleeves was like a nightmare, taking root deep in his brain, radiating thick fear.

With just a single exchange, he had been left without a corpse intact.

Eerie spells and divine abilities. Methods impossible to fathom or see clearly.

Simply suffocating.

Crashing into the cave dwelling, patrolling demonic creatures saw the man and hurried up to support him: "Lord Lu, you... what happened to you?"

The man struggled to lift his head: "Quick... quickly go report. We... we encountered a powerful enemy. Miss Xian'er has met with disaster........"

After saying this, the man's head lolled to the side and he fell unconscious.

The patrolling demonic creature didn't dare delay. It directly hoisted the man onto its shoulder and sprinted into the cave: "Bad news, bad news! My King, Miss Xian'er has met with disaster, my King!!!!"

Inside the cave dwelling was a world of its own, with passages branching in all directions.

The patrol ran all the way to the depths, and there they saw the figure sitting alone upon the Throne, with a crowd seated below, each with an extraordinary aura, resting with eyes closed.

As the patrol rushed in.

The person on the platform put down the book in his hand.

The Throne's occupant's tail, which had extended and connected outward, slowly retracted. The people with closed eyes instantly opened theirs.

The patrol knelt and bowed below.

It put down the man it was carrying.

"Reporting to my King, Lord Lu and Miss Xian'er have met with disaster. Only Lord Lu remains, returning alone with severe injuries!!!"

Above the Throne.

The man slowly descended, dressed in gold-threaded robes, cloud-patterned shoes, and a radiant ten-thousand-luster robe, a cold-faced handsome gentleman.

His identity here might be hard to explain.

But if you spoke of his other name, then likely, once you stepped outside Tianjue Great Mountain, few hadn't heard of it. The Third Sovereign of Radiance!!!

He had fought Lü Mountain through three Centennial Demon-Feedings. Though he lost each time, his fame had spread far and wide. Every death had been spectacular and earth-shaking.

Originally, he had wanted to go from Demon Province to the First Circle, but alas, Demon Province had Lü Mountain blocking the way.

He had assumed Lü Mountain was just a local power.

Something he could deal with casually.

So the first time he clashed with Lü Mountain, he didn't even wait for the Centennial Demon-Feeding. But when he headed for the ascension path, he was forcibly intercepted by Lü Mountain. First loss!

The second time, he wanted to deal with Lü Mountain first. However, he lost again.

The third time, fully prepared to wage a great battle against Lü Mountain, the fighting shook heaven and earth. Quite the spectacle. He lost.

However, he had come to understand the terrifying methods of Lü Mountain.

So this time, he was determined to make absolutely thorough preparations, and thus he had joined the Salvation Alliance!!

The demoness Lu Ding had killed, the Miss Xian'er those people spoke of, and the heavily wounded demonic creature Lord Lu who had returned, were both sent out by him.

Miss Xian'er was moreover his childhood companion in this life.

A childhood sweetheart.

So now hearing the news of Xian'er's calamity, even the Third Sovereign, despite his normally calm state of mind, couldn't help but descend.

The tail behind his back extended and pressed onto the forehead of the man lying on the ground.

Reading the information within.

Pain surged forth, and the man groaned awake.

The moment he opened his eyes, the words by his ear were: "Shut up. You're disturbing me!!!"

It endured the pain, gave up resistance, and allowed the Third Sovereign to examine its memories.

Within its memories.

Radiance saw everything that had happened. Saw Lu Ding, saw the undying Lei Xiao. The only thing missing was the demoness's miserable death at the end.

He spoke coldly: "What happened after? What happened afterward?"

The demonic creature surnamed Lu spoke with difficulty: "I... I don't know... after... after that I ran. All the way back to report."

As he spoke.

The tail originally pressed against its head instantly plunged into its brain, directly draining it into a dried husk!

Leaving only an empty shell in place.

Dead beyond any doubt.

Only then did the Third Sovereign speak: "Trash. It shouldn't be allowed to live in this world."

"Especially trash that flees from battle!"

Someone cupped their hands: "My King, I beg My King's approval to let me go scout the situation. If possible, I am willing to sacrifice myself to rescue Miss Xian'er."

The Third Sovereign shook his head: "No need to go. Based on what I saw in the memories, that person strikes decisively, acts with vicious ruthlessness, and uses eerie methods."

"Most of you are absolutely no match for him."

"Going would be a wasted death."

"Moreover, based on his manner of striking, there's no way Xian'er is alive. If she could live, then she must have paid something. Paying something to the enemy is betrayal. Not worth having you risk yourselves for her."

"The Thunder Roar Hall will be opening soon. When that time comes, all parties will gather. That kind of person should also go. When the time comes, I hope I can encounter him."

At this moment, the Third Sovereign had already developed a deep interest in Lu Ding and Lei Xiao.

Ruthless in action, yet impossible to see through.

The Third Sovereign was, after all, a powerhouse reincarnated as a demon. He naturally had some discernment. Yet even so, he could only tell that Lu Ding's attacks were related to the water-element path.

The details were impossible to perceive.

As for Lei Xiao, he hadn't even been able to figure out the true nature of her resurrection method.

How could she possibly revive?

"This world really is fascinating."

"I hope you won't disappoint me. Let me get a good look at your methods."

Beneath the Third Sovereign's eyes, excitement was suppressed.

His confidence lay in himself. His traits of adaptation, simulation, and learning. No matter what move or divine ability it was, he could adapt, simulate, and learn from it.

Including Lü Mountain's methods and divine abilities.
