Bang!
Lu Changsheng’s fist smashed into Jiang Yu’s face, and with the strength of half an Emperor Tier artifact, it distorted Jiang Yu’s features. His body fell like a meteor and crashed into the Martial Arts Platform below.
Boom! The Martial Arts Platform was instantly destroyed, sending dust flying everywhere.
The onlookers from Tai Hua Holy Land fell into a deathly silence, with not a sound to be heard.
Lu Changsheng had only used a very common Immortal Tier Martial Technique, but his physique was so strong that when his fist smeared across Jiang Yu’s face, Jiang Yu was directly sent crashing into the ground.
The Elders of the Jiang Clan were shocked; their clan’s young genius had just been crushed by the bare hands of another.
“He’s only a ninth-layer Golden Immortal, yet his physical strength has surpassed that of a top-grade Holy Artifact. This isn’t merely the result of absorbing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; it also requires a top-tier Body Tempering Cultivation Technique.”
“Xuantong, it seems you value this disciple highly, not hesitating to give him abundant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for Body Tempering, and even guiding him in the Cultivation of a top-tier Emperor Level Body Tempering law.”
The Ancestors of Tai Hua Holy Land took just one glance to recognize that Lu Changsheng’s physique had surpassed that of a top-grade Holy Artifact.
Lin Xuantong said helplessly, “…It really isn’t my contribution, but rather his own exploration in the Body Tempering Technique. The treasures I bestowed upon him shouldn’t have been enough to temper his body to such a formidable extent. Body Tempering is much more difficult than refining artifacts, after all, since one must treat the body itself as the treasure to be tempered.”
“This…”
The Elders had thought this was Lin Xuantong’s doing, only to realize Lu Changsheng had figured it out on his own, tempering his physique to such an extent.
It was simply defying the heavens.
Jiang Hong’s face was ashen at this moment.
But he still did not believe Jiang Yu would lose, for he had given Jiang Yu an Emperor Soldier as his trump card.
As long as Lu Changsheng’s physique was not yet comparable to an Emperor Soldier, he would be wounded by it.
“Jiang Yu has not fallen yet!”
After the dust settled, the Elders and Disciples watching saw Jiang Yu climb up from the ground. Although he had taken a punch and his face was swollen and bruised, damaging his image, he ultimately had not lost.
“The physique of a Quasi-Emperor is indeed formidable. You took my punch without any defense, and you are only injured.”
Lu Changsheng was using Jiang Yu to test the results of his Body Tempering.
If it were an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal, their true body could hardly withstand a punch from Lu Changsheng.
The physique of a Quasi-Emperor was ultimately above that of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Lu Changsheng became a bit more serious.
He channeled the True Solar Fire Yuan Skills, radiating golden light as his hand gestures kept changing.
“Immovable King Seal!”
Lu Changsheng used a Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique returned by the system.
With Lu Changsheng’s Innate Taoist Body, as long as he wanted to learn, he could comprehend essentially any Cultivation Technique.
Lu Changsheng continuously formed hand seals, and the golden light formed seals that struck at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu hurriedly swung out Sword Qi to block the giant seals.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Immovable King Seal repeatedly hammered at Jiang Yu, with terrifying shockwaves following one after another!
“Thousand Spider Poisonous Hand!”
“Mighty Vajra Palm!”
“Chasing Wind Palm!”
Lu Changsheng used various Martial Techniques, completely overpowering Jiang Yu.
The Martial Techniques used by Lu Changsheng included both Demon Sects and Buddhist Sect Skills, treating Jiang Yu as nothing more than a whetstone to hone his Martial Techniques.
Relying on his formidable physique, Lu Changsheng didn’t need any artifact and could suppress Jiang Yu using only his physical strength.
The Elders were stunned.
They were not shocked because a Quasi-Emperor-level youngster was demonstrating such strong power, but because of the sheer number of Cultivation Techniques Lu Changsheng knew.
Tai Hua Holy Land’s secret teachings, Demon Sects Skills, Buddhist Sect Skills—Lu Changsheng was adept in all, his Comprehension was simply terrifying.
“Damn it…”
Jiang Yu sheathed his Longsword.
With the strength of physique Lu Changsheng had revealed, using that artifact, he was not Lu Changsheng’s match.
Now, he could only resort to the artifact given to him by the Ancestor. Find more to read at empire
In the competition for the title of Holy Son, there was no rule against using Emperor-tier artifacts.
However, for Jiang Yu at his cultivation level, using an Emperor Soldier was a tremendous strain on his body.
But to deal with Lu Changsheng, Jiang Yu still gritted his teeth and summoned the artifact.
A glint of cold light appeared, the temperature around them plummeted, and the spines of all the Elders and Disciples who were watching chilled as if their souls had been grazed by a sharp blade!
Then a terrifying pressure descended, causing even the main peak to shake.
A chilling saber was brought forth, its edge clear and bright, the saber light tearing through the sky!
Jiang Yu mouthed the Mnemonic Verse, sweating on his forehead, bearing an immense burden to activate the artifact.
“Emperor, an Emperor Soldier?!”
Ye Feng, a candidate for Holy Son, trembled; he recognized the artifact being used by Jiang Yu—it was indeed an Emperor Soldier!
“Could it be an Emperor Soldier that is above a Holy Artifact?!”
“I’ve never seen an Emperor-tier artifact before, to think I would be fortunate enough to see one today.”
“An Emperor Soldier is worth a fortune; some Immortal Emperors don’t even have one, yet Jiang Yu actually has an Emperor Soldier!”
The Elders and Disciples from Tai Hua Holy Land were going crazy.
An Emperor Soldier, by its name, a weapon used by an Immortal Emperor!
Such a level of artifact was primarily made from materials that started at the seventeenth grade!
Some Immortal Sects, when all their treasures are combined, are not worth as much as a single Emperor Soldier!
“Jiang Hong, isn’t this the ‘Hunyuan Heavenly Saber,’ a weapon you have used before?”
The Ancestors, along with Lin Xuantong, recognized the artifact being used by Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu didn’t have the weapon refining talent like Lin Qinghan, so under normal circumstances, he would naturally not be able to possess an Emperor Soldier.
But Jiang Hong was the Jiang Family Ancestor, with over ten million years of Cultivation, and for him, gifting an Emperor Soldier to a descendant was not difficult at all.
Jiang Hong remained silent.
He knew lending an Emperor Soldier to a junior was somewhat unsportsmanlike, but the key was to help Jiang Yu defeat Lu Changsheng and retain the title of Holy Son, then everything else would be negotiable.
