Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Invincible Defense!
“What magical treasure is that?”
“An Immortal Artifact! It’s a defensive treasure!”
“How does he have another Immortal Artifact!”
Members of the Joyous Union Sect, seeing the Treasure Pagoda above Lu Changsheng’s head radiating myriad rays of light, became hysterical as not even their attacking magical treasure, the Holy Fire Immortal Ring, could get any closer.
The Young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect, the Holy Maiden, and a group of Elders, all had dramatic changes in their expressions.
No one expected Lu Changsheng to actually have a defensive Immortal Artifact!
The Mysterious Yellow Tower actively defended, blocking any attacks that posed a threat to Lu Changsheng.
“A defensive Immortal Artifact, really cool.”
Protected in the middle by the Mysterious Yellow Tower, Lu Changsheng was in high spirits as not even the Holy Fire Immortal Ring could break through the defense.
As long as Lu Changsheng still had True Qi to supply to the Mysterious Yellow Tower, no matter how the Joyous Union Sect’s Elders attacked, they couldn’t breach the defenses of the Mysterious Yellow Tower.
For someone as dependable as Lu Changsheng, a defensive Immortal Artifact like the Mysterious Yellow Tower was simply a dream come true.
“Soul Extinguishing Skills!”
Liu Yun’er brought out the Hell Bell, its purple light intensifying, and a beam of purple light struck towards Lu Changsheng.
Since the Holy Fire Immortal Ring’s attack was ineffective, they turned to attack Lu Changsheng’s soul.
However, the purple light from the Hell Bell was shattered by the Mysterious Yellow Tower’s myriad rays of light and still could not harm Lu Changsheng.
“Spirit attacks are ineffective too?”
Liu Yun’er’s face turned deathly pale.
This defensive Immortal Artifact that Lu Changsheng had was just too heaven-defying, capable of blocking both physical attacks and spirit attacks.
Suddenly, a Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect let out a scream of agony.
He had used all his power to motivate the Holy Fire Immortal Ring, abandoning defense for an all-out attack, hoping to eliminate Lu Changsheng first.
But he did not anticipate that Lu Changsheng had a defensive Immortal Artifact, and not only did the Holy Fire Immortal Ring fail to kill Lu Changsheng, but the Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect was severely injured by the Tiangang Sword Formation instead.
The top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure True Martial Sword pierced through his Daoist robe, penetrating his body!
The Joyous Union Sect’s Supreme Elder coughed up blood profusely.
Stimulating the Holy Fire Immortal Ring to its limits was a huge burden for him, who was at the second layer of the Void Refinement Realm; having given up his defense, he couldn’t withstand the Tiangang Sword Formation.
“Not good, we must retreat!”
Liu Yun’er judged the situation and knowing that her senior brother might be wiped out by Lu Changsheng’s Tiangang Sword Formation, she recited the mnemonic verse and retreated into the Hell Bell to escape.
People of the Demon Sects are heartless by nature, even if it is Liu Yun’er’s own senior brother, she was prepared to abandon him.
“Lu Changsheng, I won’t let you off!”
The Young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect brought out an Innate Treasure Flying Sword, trying to flee.
“Hmph, thinking of escaping?”
While dealing with the Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect, Lu Changsheng multitasked and locked onto Liu Yun’er and the Young Sect Leader, the two Joyous Union Sect Elders who posed a threat.
The Hell Bell that Liu Yun’er possessed was one of the closest things to an Immortal Artifact among the Innate Treasures, with many wonderful uses; it was particularly adept at fleeing, making killing Liu Yun’er not an easy task.
On the other hand, the flying sword of the Young Sect Leader was an attacking magical treasure with poor life-saving capabilities.
The Young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect usually relied on this second-layer Void Refinement Realm Supreme Elder for covert protection, with the Young Sect Leader merely needing to show off with attacking magical treasures.
Now, lacking life-saving methods, the Young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect was even easier to deal with than Liu Yun’er.
“Tiangang Sword Formation, split array!”
Lu Changsheng’s hand gestures changed, and the Tiangang Sword Formation made of twelve Innate Spiritual Treasure Flying Swords split into two arrays, each array consisting of six Innate Spiritual Treasure Flying Swords.
One array continued besieging the Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect, while the other array attacked the Young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect.
“Lu Changsheng, if you dare to kill me, my father will make you wish you were dead!”
The Young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect, sensing the approaching murderous intent, was scared out of his wits and hastily issued a threat.
He is the son of the Joyous Union Sect Master, and even the Sect Leaders of the six major factions fear the Joyous Union Sect Master.
“Die!”
Having Mount Shu as his backing, Lu Changsheng truly didn’t fear the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect.
The son of the Joyous Union Sect Master, kill him without error!
The Tiangang Sword Formation was activated, and six Innate Spiritual Treasure Flying Swords attacked the young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect with full force.
The young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect struggled with all his might but was outnumbered and pierced by four Flying Swords at the same time!
The ninth-layer Dao Palace realm young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect, fallen!
“Swift as the law commands!”
Lu Changsheng threw out a seventh-grade Zhurong God Talisman, burning the corpse of the young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect with Zhurong Divine Fire.
The cultivation world was full of strange and peculiar life-saving measures. To prevent any unexpected life-saving means from the young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect, the cautious Lu Changsheng did not forget to make sure to destroy the corpse and traces, annihilating both body and spirit of his opponent.
“The young Sect Leader has actually been killed… This guy, his moves are even more ruthless than those of us from the Demon Sects…”
Liu Yun’er merged with the Hell Bell, swiftly fleeing and escaping out of Lu Changsheng’s attack range before finally heaving a sigh of relief.
She witnessed the young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect being killed and even felt a trace of fear toward Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng usually seemed harmless to humans and animals, but once he intended to kill, he was decisive and relentless, not sparing the young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect, leaving no avenue for survival.
If Liu Yun’er hadn’t escaped quickly, perhaps she would have died under Lu Changsheng’s sword as well.
“Now it’s your turn.”
After completely killing the young Sect Leader of the Joyous Union Sect, Lu Changsheng recalled the six Innate Treasure Flying Swords and continued to besiege the highest-ranking Elder of the Joyous Union Sect, a Supreme Elder.
The Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect fell into endless despair.
Protected by the Mysterious Yellow Tower, Lu Changsheng was impervious even to the Holy Fire Immortal Ring, while he could attack freely using the Tiangang Sword Formation.
This isn’t fair!
The injuries of the Joyous Union Sect Supreme Elder kept increasing, while Lu Changsheng… remained unharmed.
The Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect, after all, possessed the second-layer cultivation of the Void Refinement Realm, so killing him wasn’t as simple as it was with the young Sect Leader. Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry; the Tiangang Sword Formation had trapped this powerful enemy, and he would grind him down sooner or later.
After all, with Lu Changsheng’s invincible defense, he just needed to kill the Joyous Union Sect Supreme Elder before his True Qi was exhausted.
“Damn it, I will perish together with you!”
The Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect suddenly flew towards Lu Changsheng, his body inflating rapidly like a balloon!
Tormented by a junior like Lu Changsheng, he was enraged with humiliation. With the young Sect Leader killed, knowing that returning would mean certain death, he chose to self-destruct, determined to take Lu Changsheng down with him.
Boom!
The night was lit up by a sun, as the Joyous Union Sect Supreme Elder, enraged by Lu Changsheng, chose to self-destruct!
The self-destruction of the Joyous Union Sect Supreme Elder, at the second-layer of the Void Refinement Realm, resulted in terrifying power. The entire mountain forest was leveled, and countless trees evaporated.
As the dust gradually settled, the Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect had vanished without a trace, his lower-grade Immortal Artifact “Holy Fire Immortal Ring” lying on the ground, dim and lightless.
“Master?”
Protected by the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron and having kept a distance from the center of the explosion, Mo Huazhi was unaffected.
She anxiously searched for her master’s figure.
The destructive power of the self-destruction of the Joyous Union Sect Supreme Elder had destroyed the entire mountain forest, even more terrifying than the attack from the Holy Fire Immortal Ring.
“Your teacher is fine.”
Unharmed amidst the smoke, Lu Changsheng appeared.
Protected by the Mysterious Yellow Tower, not even the self-destruction of a second-layer Void Refinement Realm Supreme Elder could breach the defense of the Mysterious Yellow Tower.
“The Mysterious Yellow Tower truly is a top-tier defensive magical treasure among the lower-grade Immortal Artifacts, but it consumes too much True Qi.”
Thereafter, Lu Changsheng had depleted the medicinal power of the eighth-grade Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill as well as his own True Qi, and needed time to recover.
This encounter with the Joyous Union Sect Supreme Elder made Lu Changsheng realize that in the early stages of the Void Refinement Realm, he possessed an invincible defense.
