Chapter 328: Chapter 296: The Mount Shu Sect Leader from a Hundred Thousand Years Ago! (4K)_2
Out of gratitude, Tang Wansan came to cheer for Lu Changsheng, while Wu Yue arrived uninvited, simply to admire Lu Changsheng.
Sun Jian’s face turned pale.
Although Sun Jian mastered the Sacred Tier Sword Technique “Selfless Sword Technique,” it was the legacy sword technique handed down by the first owner of Thousand Swords Manor, not a sword technique he created himself.
On the other hand, Wu Yue was an unrivaled genius who created the Sacred Tier Martial Technique “Great Crushing Heaven Palm” in the Unity Realm.
Sun Jian had no confidence in defeating Wu Yue.
“Amitabha Buddha, let this humble monk experience the famous Dragon-Tiger Skill of the Dragon Tiger Sect,” the monk said, bringing his hands together in prayer, radiating Buddha light and locking onto Zhang Qinglong, the Sect Master of Dragon Tiger Sect.
At the Zhong Zhou gathering, Monk Wu Le was defeated by Wu Yue but was confident in having a match against Zhang Qinglong.
Monk Wu Le was a figure from over twenty thousand years ago, his lifespan extended far beyond that of ordinary cultivators in the Unity Realm due to his cultivation of Decay and Prosperity Divine Skill; thus, in terms of seniority, he ranked above Zhang Qinglong.
Zhang Qinglong frowned.
The Decay and Prosperity Divine Skill of Monk Wu Le from Immeasurable Temple was greatly accomplished, having cultivated Life and Death Qi, making him not so easy to deal with.
Wu Yue had the strength of Tang Wansan, which is why he could overpower Monk Wu Le with brute force.
The strength of Zhang Qinglong, however, was not much different from that of Monk Wu Le; to decide a victor between them would depend on their performances.
“You will handle the Supreme Elders of Thousand Swords Manor and Dragon Tiger Sect. I will personally take on the Earth Immortals,” Tang Wansan commanded, directing the Supreme Elders of Star Pavilion to confront the masters of Thousand Swords Manor and Dragon Tiger Sect, as he stood opposite Luo Feng.
With Tang Wansan’s pride, he would never settle for choosing weaker opponents.
Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue, and Tang Wansan faced off against the three Earth Immortals, and the terrifying aura of all six soared, shaking the heavens and the earth.
“It seems the ants of this world have no idea of our strength.”
“Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, they overestimate themselves.”
The earth-shattering male and female Earth Immortals who had recently descended to the Lower Realm dismissed the aura of Lu Changsheng, Tang Wansan, and the others.
As beings of the Earth Immortal Realm, they stood on a plane above that of the Unity Realm cultivators.
Even though their realms were suppressed to the Unity Realm by the world’s power, their strength was still superior to that of the Unity Realm.
“Let me show you what a true powerhouse is!” the two Earth Immortals exclaimed as they circulated their cultivation techniques, unleashing their full aura!
Boom!!!
The very space exploded into sound, and Mount Shu itself trembled!
Dark clouds gathered thickly, and thunder roared with lightning flashes!
The Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation was brewing!
The two Earth Immortals, by utilizing power beyond the Unity Realm, risked calling forth the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation at any moment!
“You…”
Tang Wansan’s face drastically changed.
He hadn’t expected the two Earth Immortals to be so ruthless, willing to risk being erased by the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation just to kill Lu Changsheng!
What powerful being from the Immortal Realm had Lu Changsheng provoked?
“The aura of the Earth Immortals is too strong; it’s not a power that should exist in this world… These two forces, even stronger than Xuanyin Elder at the Zhong Zhou gathering…”
“Could it be they plan to kill Changsheng before facing the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation and then force their way through it to return to the Immortal Realm?”
“It’s not impossible… But they didn’t bring any Ultimate Treasures or Elixir Pills. The Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation they’ve attracted is extremely terrifying; even with the consciousness of an Earth Immortal, they are likely facing a slim chance of survival. It seems they are resolute, determined to doom Changsheng to death.”
“We simply cannot bear the power of the Earth Immortals…”
Grandmaster Chen, Yu Xuanji, the Great General of the Great Martial Dynasty, and other Unity Realm powerhouses fell into endless despair.
The two Earth Immortals, having released cultivation vastly exceeding the Unity Realm, appeared like descending celestials, making these Unity Realm powerhouses feel profound helplessness.
Their gap was as vast as the difference between the clouds and the mud!
“You ants, now do you understand the might of our Earth Immortal Realm?”
“To avoid punishment, Lu Changsheng, you must die,” the male and female Earth Immortals declared coldly, as if they were beings of a different order from the native cultivators of this world.
Fireflies cannot comprehend the ice.
“Lu Changsheng, entrusted by others, your death is certain. After you die, Xia Ningxue will be left in my care,”
Luo Feng’s gaze towards Xia Ningxue became completely crazed.
Even though he had taken over Luo Feng’s body, Luo Feng’s consciousness influenced him, coupled with Xia Ningxue’s unrivaled beauty, stunning as a celestial being, he could hardly wait to possess her.
Yet, Xia Ningxue’s eyes showed a trace of disgust.
Tang Wansan was not confident, “Lu Changsheng, with your cultivation, even if you use the Ultimate Treasure, you can at most handle one Earth Immortal Realm opponent. Xia Fairy and I are not strong enough to deal with two at the Earth Immortal Realm. Do you have any other means?”
Lu Changsheng remained silent, rapidly calculating any remaining options in his mind.
Ordinary methods were useless against Earth Immortal Realm experts.
The only methods that could threaten an Earth Immortal Realm expert now were the Ultimate Treasure, the Holy Spirit Sword Art, and Mount Shu’s Zodiac Star Battle Array.
With Lu Changsheng’s True Qi at the Unity Realm, he could at most activate one Ultimate Treasure.
Once he activated the Ultimate Treasure, he wouldn’t have enough True Qi left to operate the Zodiac Star Battle Array.
If he gave up the Ultimate Treasure and used all his power to operate the Zodiac Star Battle Array, Lu Changsheng wasn’t sure the array could eliminate three Earth Immortal Realm adversaries.
If those at the Earth Immortal Realm were to use their original cultivation, it was feared that the whole of Mount Shu would be obliterated.
“They definitely can’t recover their original cultivation in a short time; early Earth Immortal Realm cultivation is probably their limit.”
After weighing all options, Lu Changsheng finally decided to partner with Xia Ningxue to use the Holy Spirit Sword Art and kill an Earth Immortal Realm first.
Tang Wansan could barely hold off an Earth Immortal Realm opponent.
However, when Lu Changsheng teamed up with Xia Ningxue, they would no longer be able to maneuver the Zodiac Star Battle Array.
Only those who cultivated the Taiqing Wuji Technique could operate the Zodiac Star Battle Array, but Grandmaster Taixu, Situ Kong, Li Changye, and Lin Qingzhi were not at a sufficient realm. Even if they were to operate the Zodiac Star Battle Array, they couldn’t possibly hold off an Earth Immortal Realm foe.
No matter what choice Lu Changsheng made, even if he exerted his full strength, he could at most forcibly kill one Earth Immortal Realm opponent, while Tang Wansan and Xia Ningxue would be killed by the other two.
“This sense of despair is indeed quite enjoyable,”
The male Earth Immortal smiled wickedly, looking down at the cultivators below with contempt.
There were countless strong beings in the Immortal Realm. With their strength, they dared not be rampant in the Immortal Realm, but in this world, they were near invincible!
“The cultivators of this realm are really weak,”
said the female Earth Immortal with equal disdain.
Apart from Lu Changsheng, who had the troublesome Ultimate Treasure, other cultivators seemed as insignificant as ants in her eyes.
The female Earth Immortal casually struck out her palm, the force of which targeted Tang Wansan.
Tang Wansan immediately activated the Great Desolation Art to counter the terrifying palm force.
Boom!
Tang Wansan was repelled by the palm force, crashing into the peaks of Mount Shu.
Four peaks collapsed!
The onlookers of Mount Shu, Star Pavilion, and the Great Martial Dynasty were shocked; the demonstrated strength of this Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse surpassed that of the Xuanyin Elder!
Despair!
Three Earth Immortal Realm foes created an immense pressure, making it difficult even for Unity Realm powerhouses to breathe.
Suddenly, from the direction of Ten Thousand Swords Peak, a brilliant sword light arose, like a dazzling white column piercing through the sea of clouds into the sky, dispelling the collective despair.
Sword Qi materialized from nothing, rising sharply!
“What’s happening here?”
Everyone’s attention was captured by the great commotion at Ten Thousand Swords Peak.
Lu Changsheng’s gaze pierced through the sea of clouds, spotting an old servant in front of the myriad sword walls of Ten Thousand Swords Peak, wielding his sword Qi like an unmatched Sword Dao master!
“Impossible…”
Lu Changsheng knew this old servant was no ordinary man, but the old man was supposed to possess not a trace of cultivation, so how could he demonstrate such awe-inspiring aura?
Lu Changsheng turned his eyes to Grandmaster Taixu and Situ Kong; surely, they knew the old servant’s identity, which is why they kept the old servant in Mount Shu.
“The senior has finally regained his cultivation!”
Both Grandmaster Taixu and Situ Kong showed fervent excitement in their eyes.
Grandmaster Taixu spoke slowly, “Ten thousand years ago, the Sect Leader of Mount Shu was the unparalleled genius of Xia State, born with the Spirit Sword Physique, and together with Inquiry Immortal Pavilion Master Fairy Qingxia, subdued an era. Later, because Fairy Qingxia ascended earlier, he attempted to ascend on the same day by forcing his Tribulation, but his efforts failed at the last moment. However, as he practiced a unique cultivation technique, he did not fall, instead reincarnating in the mortal realm over and over, only able to break and establish anew after living a thousand lives. This person is none other than our twentieth Sect Leader of Mount Shu—Grandmaster Taixu.”
