Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Immortal Sword Appears, Demons Tremble! (Extra Release to Cool Down)
“As expected of Master, to come out unscathed like that.”
Shen Xiaoyao piloted his Flying Sword, dodging an attack from a Demon Sects’ Elder, and was pleasantly surprised to see his master back in form, full of vigor.
He wondered when he would reach his master’s level.
“His aura was extremely weak at one point, then suddenly it surged back to its peak. What’s going on? Never mind, it’s definitely good news.”
Xia Ningxue had secretly been worried for Lu Changsheng, but now that she noticed his full recovery, she let out a sigh of relief.
Now she only needed to concentrate on dealing with the people from the Joyous Union Sect.
“How can you not die…” The Savage Elephant King had never met a human cultivator as tenacious as this; it had exerted all its strength but still failed to kill Lu Changsheng, “But with your level of cultivation, I can kill you a second time.”
The Savage Elephant King crossed his arms in front of his chest, still filled with immense confidence.
After all, he was two realms higher than Lu Changsheng and had completely mastered the Heaven Rank defensive cultivation technique “Vajra Indestructible Skills” from the Immeasurable Temple and possessed the body of the Ancient Divine Elephant; even the Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Swords forming the Tiangang Sword Formation would struggle to kill him.
“That remains to be seen.”
Lu Changsheng activated the eighth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique, with Purple Aura Coming from the East.
The Life and Death Reincarnation Pill restored all of his True Qi and repaired his damaged muscles, bones, and meridians.
Hum!
A clear and crisp sword hum suddenly sounded.
Lu Changsheng gestured with his right hand, and the Immortal Sword unsheathed!
The sword’s radiance was dazzling, its edge undisguised, a torrential murderous aura spread out, and the ground cracked under the might of the Immortal Sword.
The low-grade Immortal Sword “Radiant Extermination” made its first appearance before the eyes of the world!
It was a ferocious sword, with its murderous intent soaring to the skies, like a whirlwind sweeping through the remnants of a storm.
Even though Lu Changsheng had eradicated the remnant soul within Radiant Extermination, it still retained the fierce sword’s murderous aura.
“Immortal Sword!!!”
The Savage Elephant King went blank with shock the moment Radiant Extermination was drawn.
Lu Changsheng actually waited until now to use his trump card!
The Innate Spiritual Treasure Flying Swords that formed the Tiangang Sword Formation might struggle to kill him, but the Immortal Sword could!
Radiant Extermination wasn’t like the Mysterious Yellow Tower, a defensive treasure, but rather it was a treasure forged to slay powerful enemies.
With the appearance of the Immortal Sword Radiant Extermination, not only the Savage Elephant King, but also Wandaoyi from the Reincarnation Hall, as well as the surrounding Demon Sects’ Elders and Huang State Loose Cultivators, were all intimidated by its momentum, each revealing a look of horror in their eyes.
The existence of an Immortal Artifact was too intimidating for them.
Cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm might not even own a single Immortal Artifact, and the Savage Elephant King had only been suppressing Lu Changsheng, who had the Mysterious Yellow Tower, due to the two-realm gap, his Ancient Divine Elephant body, and the Vajra Indestructible Skills.
But now, Lu Changsheng unleashed an Immortal Sword intended for attack, making him nearly invincible in the early stages of the Void Refinement Realm.
“What’s going on with this guy, how come he has so many Immortal Artifacts? And they’re ones I’ve never seen before, they don’t seem like Mount Shu’s reserves. Even Mount Shu wouldn’t bestow so many Immortal Artifacts to a Supreme Elder in the early stages of the Void Refinement Realm. There are quite a lot of Supreme Elders from Mount Shu who don’t have Immortal Artifacts…”
Wandaoyi clenched his teeth, sweating profusely.
The four Great Demon Sects thought that Li Changye was the foremost among the young generation of the six major sects and that when he took over as Sect Leader of Mount Shu, he would become the next Taiyuan True Master, posing a tremendous threat. Instead, it was Lu Changsheng, who appeared out of nowhere, causing the most damage to the four Great Demon Sects, with three Supreme Elders, one Young Sect Leader, and countless Elders from the Dao Palace falling to Lu Changsheng’s sword.
“Is that the boy, the same brat we ran into in Huang State?”
Black Tiger Daoist from the loose cultivators of Huang State was fighting with a disciple from the Hidden Dragon Temple when he suddenly felt a soaring killing intent. Looking towards the person wielding the Immortal Sword, he realized it was Lu Changsheng, who had escaped his pursuit eighteen years ago.
“How is this possible, his cultivation has actually reached the Void Refinement Realm!”
Black Tiger Daoist’s pupils shook. Eighteen years ago, Lu Changsheng was just at the first level of Dao Palace Realm and had fled in a desperate rush. Now, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation had skyrocketed, more than enough to easily wipe out Black Tiger Daoist.
“I must steer clear of him if we ever meet again in the future.”
Black Tiger Daoist did not dare to engage Lu Changsheng and was secretly on guard.
“Lu has actually got an Immortal Sword, could it also be an Immortal Artifact granted to him in his dreams by the Ancestral Master? To pass on Immortal Artifacts in dreams, such miraculous means, truly inconceivable.”
Murong Shi had been worried for Lu Changsheng before, but now that he suddenly took out an Immortal Sword and firmly grasped victory, she was overjoyed.
“Indeed, I was not mistaken. The Ancestral Master gave him an Immortal Artifact in a dream. Lu is indeed the true person meant to face the tribulation. Perhaps this is even better, as it lightens my burden significantly.”
Li Changye exclaimed.
Forty thousand years ago, the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu suddenly appeared in a dream to the then Sect Leader of Mount Shu, claiming that after forty thousand years, there would be a person meant to face the tribulation. Taiyuan, the real person of that time believed it to be Li Changye and cultivated him diligently.
Li Changye took it as his personal responsibility, always feeling like there was a weight pressing on him. Now seeing Lu Changsheng surpass himself, he breathed a sigh of relief instead and felt no more burden.
In an instant, relieved of his burden, Li Changye experienced sudden enlightenment.
“You… achieving sudden enlightenment in the midst of battle?!”
The talented individual from the Demon Sects, Wandaoyi, who was almost at a standstill with Li Changye, saw that Li Changye’s mindset relaxed and he entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
Li Changye possessed a special body, the Eternal Wilderness Body, and was an unparalleled genius with potential to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Amid the surging dark aura, a sword qi thousands of feet tall crisscrossed.
The Fairy Pavilion Master appeared like a celestial maiden, performing Sword Flight, leading the Supreme Elders of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion in a fierce battle against the members of the Joyous Union Sect, turning the sky dark and the earth dim.
She realized that another Immortal Sword was born at Iron Sword Pass and sent a wisp of her divine sense to check, only to see that it was Lu Changsheng, who had defeated the Holy Maiden of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion thirteen years ago at the Six Paths Conference, now wielding an Immortal Sword.
“This lad is really strange, how does he have so many Immortal Artifacts?”
The Fairy Pavilion Master was surprised.
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation was advancing rapidly and with many Immortal Artifacts, even Xia Ningxue, whom the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion had concentrated its resources on, could barely keep up with Lu Changsheng’s pace.
“It wouldn’t be surprising if this lad is the person meant to face the tribulation that Taiyuan talks about incessantly. I initially thought the Ancestral Master’s dream was just a myth concocted by Mount Shu, but it turns out to be true…”
The Fairy Pavilion Master thought to herself.
“The little devil who killed my son, I wish I could tear him apart and devour his flesh!”
The Sect Master of Joyous Union Sect also noticed the commotion below; his son had been killed by Lu Changsheng using the Tiangang Sword Formation, and the Immortal Artifact “Holy Fire Immortal Ring” of Joyous Union Sect was seized by Lu Changsheng. The Sect Master of Joyous Union Sect harbored a deep-seated hatred for Lu Changsheng.
“Your opponent is me, picking on the younger generation is indeed despicable.”
The Fairy Pavilion Master recited a sword incantation, activating the Immortal Sword, and struck at the Sect Master of Joyous Union Sect, her sword qi splitting the nine layers of clouds.
“You wretched woman! Once I have destroyed your Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, I’ll sell you and all the female disciples of your pavilion to the brothel!”
The Sect Master of Joyous Union Sect was blocked by the Fairy Pavilion Master from going after Lu Changsheng, and he burst into a roaring rage, seething with anger.
With his cultivation, killing Lu Changsheng right now would be effortless, but the Fairy Pavilion Master was also protective of her own, and she had a past connection with Taiyuan, the Sect Leader of Mount Shu. Her disciple, Xia Ningxue, had a not-so-shallow relationship with Lu Changsheng. All things considered, Lu Changsheng could also be regarded as half a disciple of hers.
