Chapter 167 The Saintess Who Was Intimidated
Raphael didn't dare to breathe loudly when he saw the ethereal and otherworldly saintess of the Luo Sect in front of him.
He had witnessed the Saintess's strength before; she was a powerful cultivator among the Saints. Even with a level 1 sealed artifact, he, a Sequence 6 cultivator, was no match for her.
At this moment, Saintess Yan Ruobing slowly surveyed her surroundings. She could not see Raphael, who was in a state of psychological invisibility, but she knew that the target she was looking for was nearby.
She said slowly, "I have the ability to make this place grow full of plants."
"But that will drain your vitality and make you age quickly."
"Sometimes I have difficulty controlling the extent of this ability; if I don't handle it well, I might become their fertilizer."
Raphael remained silent, knowing that the other party still wanted to obtain important information from him and would not easily harm him.
But waiting like this isn't a solution either. The "psychological invisibility" ability he uses comes from a magical item, which can only be used for about one minute.
At this moment, Raphael did not face the Saint's despair, because he knew that as long as the other party did not make a move immediately, he still had hope.
After thinking for a moment, Raphael suddenly came up with a plan: even if he couldn't achieve his goal, he could make the other party have some reservations, and he could seek an opportunity to escape.
The next second, Raphael stopped using "Adam's Gift" and appeared before the Holy Maiden of the Luo Cult as if by magic. He smiled wickedly and said, "Holy Maiden of the Luo Cult, we meet again."
Yan Ruobing smiled slightly. This was the person she was looking for. Although his ability just now was somewhat similar to the "Dongting Heart Sword" technique, he had just entered the "Nascent Soul" stage, so she was confident that she could bring him back.
To prevent a repeat of the previous incident, Yan Ruobing planned to use a secret technique to teleport back to the main headquarters immediately after controlling the "Demon Lord".
Although it will come at a price, it's better than letting him escape again.
Seeing the other person's expression, Raphael knew that this was a "ruthless and taciturn" character who had no intention of testing or chatting and was prepared to seize him right away.
The other Raphael in the "Dark Hut" quickly exerted his strength, projecting the power within the Dark Hut along his own ball of flame.
Thus, Raphael, at the foot of Langya Mountain, experienced a surge in power and momentum, and soon possessed the aura of a saint!
Raphael quickly said, "Alright, alright, that's enough, that's enough!"
He was telling another version of himself that he felt he would explode if he had any more power!
Raphael is not at the level of a Saint yet; he only appears to be one. He is still a Sequence 6, but his aura and power look terrifying.
Or rather, the extraordinary properties of Sequence 6 are not yet sufficient to utilize these advanced powers. It's like having a table laden with delicious food, but being told you must eat with chopsticks, while Raphael doesn't even have a spoon, so he can only look but not eat.
But intimidation was enough. Seeing Raphael's power increase, Yan Ruobing immediately abandoned the idea of taking action and decided to observe for a while longer.
Raphael stretched his limbs before saying, "This body is still not good enough; it can't unleash all its power."
His solution was to show off.
The saintess opposite him knew very well that he was an unidentified "demon lord," and even the "Eternal Mother" had issued a divine decree to capture this demon lord and bring him back to the main altar.
She's the kind of person who, even if she doesn't know exactly what makes her so great, is just incredibly capable.
Raphael could try dressing up to see if he could intimidate the other party and thus gain a chance to escape.
Even though his attempt to show off failed, Raphael's current state isn't without improvement; at least he can now better control "Adam's Gift."
When a normal Sequence 6 uses a Level 1 sealed artifact, it not only struggles to withstand its negative effects but also cannot sustain the consumption of its spiritual energy, thus failing to unleash the full power of the sealed artifact.
Now Raphael can draw power from the "Dark Lodge" indefinitely, and use "Adam's Gift" however he wants.
However, the power obtained from the "Dark Lodge" is a high-level form of contamination for others, because Raphael has already formed a certain degree of bond with the "Dark Lodge," so he is not affected by the contamination.
Furthermore, Raphael, who resides in the "Dark Lodge," can also transform this power, turning it from pollution into pure energy.
Raphael, who was about to burst from the power, tried his best to endure the discomfort and smiled, "I didn't originally plan to meet you. After all, this body still needs to be strengthened. At the moment, I can only temporarily master the power of Sequence 3, which is the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm you mentioned."
"But your threat just now was quite interesting. You can try it and see what happens to the plants you summoned after they absorb my life force."
Just as Yan Ruobing was about to consider this question, Raphael suddenly opened his hand and made a "bang" sound, which startled her.
Raphael chuckled inwardly, saying, "They'll explode or mutate. At most, I'll lose some power, but you'll become their fertilizer."
He wasn't bluffing about this; if those plants really dared to absorb his current life force, it was hard to say whether they would explode, but they would definitely mutate.
Yan Ruobing paused for a second or two before smiling and saying, "Holy Mother, please come to the main altar for a chat."
Raphael admired Yan Ruobing's slightly cold smile while remarking that Eastern beauties were still more pleasing to the eye.
Yan Ruobing remembered that this "Demon Lord" had examined himself in this way before, with six parts appreciation and four parts desire.
Such self-examination is rare; it is an aggressive self-examination, but not in a sordid way.
Raphael then laughed and said, "Tell the Eternal Mother not to try anything with me. She could control me before, but she doesn't have that ability now."
"Oh, right, I should also tell her that I thank her for letting the Goddess of Fate weave my destiny, allowing me to find this place and further restore my strength."
"In return, I also took care of the one inside, which was what she wanted to see. We're even now."
Upon hearing that this "Demon Lord" was speaking to the "Eternal Mother" rather than the "Holy Mother" of the Luo Cult, Yan Ruobing immediately lowered her head slightly and carefully memorized every word he said.
After Raphael finished speaking, he added, "We'll meet again someday."
After saying that, he walked outside.
He appeared calm and collected, but was actually quite nervous inside.
Yan Ruobing was also weighing the pros and cons at this moment. After a few breaths, she respectfully said, "Respectfully seeing off the Demon Lord."
Raphael breathed a sigh of relief: He'd finally managed to fool her!
