Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Lu Has Too Many Immortal Artifacts (Extra for Cooling Down)
The Immortal Sword “Blazing Extermination” floated in mid-air, its killing intent soared to the skies, and Lu Changsheng kept infusing it with True Qi, making the killing intent even more overwhelming, and the sword’s momentum constantly climbed.
Lu Changsheng swallowed the third Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill and vigorously activated the Immortal Sword.
The Savage Elephant King was drenched in sweat; previously, in order to kill Lu Changsheng, he had exhausted too much True Qi, “Spare me, I owe you my life!”
However, Lu Changsheng showed no signs of stopping. If he easily believed the words of a Great Demon who had cultivated for thousands of years, it would be utterly foolish.
“True Martial Nine Forms—Eighth Form!”
Lu Changsheng wielded the Immortal Sword to execute the Heaven Rank swordsmanship, and the Blazing Extermination Sword, with the power to destroy everything, slashed towards the Savage Elephant King!
“Twenty-fold Wild Strength!”
Lacking True Qi, the Savage Elephant King couldn’t bring forth the thirty-fold Wild Strength; draining the last of his True Qi, he could only muster twenty-fold Wild Strength to desperately fend off the Blazing Extermination Sword.
Under the fearful gazes of numerous Demon Sect Elders, the Immortal Sword fell, and the sword Qi created a fearsome crack in the ground, stretching to a peak a thousand feet away, shearing the mountain flat and causing it to collapse with a thunderous roar.
The Savage Elephant King’s fist strength was cleaved by Blazing Extermination, the Vajra Indestructible secret technique was broken, and he vanished into ashes.
“Huff…”
Lu Changsheng retracted the Blazing Extermination Sword, holding the longsword in hand, looking at the ravaged ground to confirm that the Savage Elephant King was devoid of breath before he could rest assured.
“It took one Ninth-grade Life and Death Reincarnation Pill and three eighth-grade Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pills, along with a large number of sixth and seventh-grade Elixir Pills. The Savage Elephant King indeed lived up to his reputation as a powerful Loose Cultivator sought by the Immeasurable Temple.”
Lu Changsheng tallied the cost of slaying the Savage Elephant King, and it was a startling sum.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng had prepared various Elixir Pills and life-saving measures in advance for this calamity.
“The Savage Elephant King is actually dead!”
The Loose Cultivators of the Huang State Demon Race were thrown into chaos, scattering to avoid the conflict.
If the Savage Elephant King, a fourth-layer Void Refinement Realm cultivator, was killed by Lu Changsheng by every means possible, not to mention the Demon Race Loose Cultivators of the Dao Palace and Nascent Soul Realms.
Lu Changsheng, while unbothered, took the Elixir Pills and quickly restored his True Qi.
The Ninth-grade Life and Death Reincarnation Pill could not only revive and fully recover someone at the initial stage of the Void Refinement Realm at the juncture of life and death but also impart insights from the verge of life and death.
Such was the terror of the Ninth-grade Elixir Pills’ might.
Lu Changsheng digested and comprehended, gaining a slight understanding of the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
“Wandaoyi, your invited Savage Elephant King is slain, what techniques do you have left now?”
Li Changye entered a state of Sudden Enlightenment, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, nearly stepping into the second layer of the Void Refinement Realm, and suppressing Wandaoyi of the Reincarnation Hall.
“Damn it!”
Wandaoyi didn’t expect that even the Savage Elephant King, who was at the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, couldn’t defeat Lu Changsheng, and instead was slain by the Immortal Sword deployed by Lu Changsheng. Once Lu Changsheng recovered, they of the Reincarnation Hall too would not escape their doom.
“Retreat!”
Wandaoyi ordered, and many Elders and Huang State Loose Cultivators of the Reincarnation Hall withdrew into the midst of Demon Sects and Demon Race armies, no longer entangling solely with Mount Shu’s party.
The Demon Sect and Demon Race armies were vast and formidable, engaged in fierce battle with the five major sects guarding the Iron Sword Pass, with various Banner of Laws emerging, including Immortal Artifacts.
However, those who wielded Immortal Artifacts were none other than the Sect Leaders, Sect Masters, and veteran Supreme Elders. They battled in the sky, darkening the heavens, obscuring the sun and the moon.
Beneath Iron Sword Pass, Elder Disciples and Great Demons of the initial Void Refinement Realm, Dao Palace Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, and Golden Core Realm fought fiercely, the blood flowed into rivers.
Li Changye, Lu Changsheng, and the others of Mount Shu joined forces with the other five major sects at Iron Sword Pass, amassing a force of thousands.
These were the best among the six major sects.
“Hahaha, Li Changye, you’ve finally arrived. Today, let me show you my self-created Heaven Rank Martial Technique—Wing Chun!”
The Martial Alliance’s leading senior disciple, Ye Wen, who had stepped into the Void Refinement Realm, used his self-created Heaven Rank Martial Technique. With his power alone, he faced ten Dao Palace Realm Demon Sect Elders!
While the Demon Sect Elders wielded Banner of Laws, Ye Wen fought bare-handed. Relying on his robust physique, he deflected the Banners with his bare hands!
The ten Banner of Laws attacked Ye Wen but couldn’t breach his Wing Chun Fist.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Inch Force erupted, and a Demon Sect Elder was blasted to pieces by Ye Wen’s bare hands!
“The cultivation technique you created has reached the level of a Heaven Rank mid-grade martial technique. Given time, it may even become a Heaven Rank high-grade martial technique,”
Li Changye praised Ye Wen’s talent.
A self-created cultivation technique may not be called the strongest among its peers, but it is certainly the most suitable for oneself, capable of unleashing its maximum power in one’s hands.
“Om, Ma, Ni, Pa, Me, Hum!”
The Chief Disciple of the Immeasurable Temple, Master Mingzhi, shone with a brilliant Buddha light. He scattered a string of prayer beads which transformed into the Six-syllable Mantra, suppressing the Demon Race Loose Cultivators of Huang State.
“This is the Immeasurable Temple’s Six Syllable Brightness Mantra!”
“Damn baldy!”
“Ah!”
The Huang State Demon Race Loose Cultivators were extremely wary of the Immeasurable Temple’s techniques, as those suppressed by the Six Syllable Brightness Mantra would have their cultivation dispersed.
“Separating Fire Heaven Burning Formation!”
“Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui!”
The Chief Disciple of the Hidden Dragon Temple, Zhuge Changming, brought out the Eight-Sided Separating Fire Banners, occupying eight positions. Eight columns of fire rose to the sky, encircling and forming a Great Separating Fire Formation, refining and entangling the Demon Race Loose Cultivators trapped within.
The six major sects unleashed their methods, aiming to inflict as much damage as possible on the four Great Demon Sects and the Huang State Demon Race, to prevent them from attacking Misty Peak.
Once the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion fell, the other five great sects would also struggle to escape their fate.
Lu Changsheng frowned as he looked out at the boundless armies of the Demon Sects and the Demon Race.
The Huang State Demon Race was numerous, with many of its members being extraordinary Great Demons that had cultivated for a thousand years, their strengths not inferior to those of the six great sects.
However, the Demon Race was traditionally made up of Loose Cultivators who cared only for their own cultivation, following the law of the jungle and unlike the human clans that formed alliances.
The Huang State Demon Race now resembled human armies, likely because the Demon Lord had subdued the various demons of Huang State, forcing them into submission.
“Elder Brother, I have a set of magical treasures that can kill large numbers of the enemy,”
Lu Changsheng took out the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner, which had flames flowing around it.
Elder Brother Li Changye’s cultivation was not weak; he only lacked an Immortal Artifact.
Since the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner was a Banner of Laws, it could be used without the need for a master.
“Is this… an Immortal Banner of Laws?!”
Li Changye was stunned.
Did his junior brother have too many Immortal Artifacts?
Lu Changsheng’s known Immortal Artifacts included the Mysterious Yellow Tower, Blazing Extermination Sword, Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron, and now he had taken out the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner, not to mention the Holy Fire Immortal Ring he had given to his disciples.
Those unaware might think Lu was the Sect Master of the Refinement Sect.
“Only those with the Fire Spirit Root can use this banner. It can form the Samadhi True Fire Great Formation, using the formation to kill enemies, which is much more efficient,”
“Elder Brother, with me, and my second disciple, we’ll set up the formation,”
Seeing the numerous Demon Race from Huang State, Lu Changsheng decided to use the Samadhi True Fire Great Formation to quickly eradicate these demons.
“All right.”
Li Changye took one of the Divine Banners.
“Lian, you join Master and Martial Uncle in setting up the formation,”
Lu Changsheng handed Lian one of the Divine Banners and several Dajuqi Dan.
Lian’s Fire Lotus True Qi was one of the most powerful fire attribute True Qi between heaven and earth, strong enough for her to join Lu Changsheng and Li Changye in setting up the formation.
If the cultivation was insufficient, the elixir pills would make up for it.
