Otherwise, losing the position of Holy Son, it would be extremely difficult for the Jiang Family to have a second Holy Son.
“Dad!”
Lin Qinghan looked anxiously towards Lin Xuantong.
She had personally refined an Emperor Soldier—the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella, and naturally knew its power.
Normally, when she sparred with Lu Changsheng, if she used the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella, Lu Changsheng was no match for her.
As a Quasi-Emperor realm master and ranked seventy-second on the Qilin Ranking, the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella was a treasure she had personally crafted, perfectly compatible with her cultivation technique and physique, enabling her to unleash one hundred percent of the Emperor Soldier’s power.
The might of an Emperor Soldier was immense; even if Jiang Yu couldn’t perfectly wield the power of the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber, it was still deadly to Lu Changsheng.
If Jiang Yu used the Emperor Soldier to kill Lu Changsheng, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lin Xuantong frowned, secretly gathering his energy, ready to intervene at the slightest sign of trouble. With his divine skills, if he made a move, not even Lu Changsheng would find it easy to die.
Jiang Yu, his face distorted in a rage after Lu Changsheng had disfigured him with a punch, was beyond flashing mercy, “Lu Changsheng, if you are capable, then take on my treasure!”
With a swing of his right hand, Jiang Yu’s Hunyuan Heavenly Saber slashed towards Lu Changsheng with a fierce light, as if wanting to split the heavens, even cutting a person’s divine sense in two!
“This strike is unstoppable!”
“If Daoist Changsheng doesn’t dodge now, he’s bound to fall!”
Many Elders had already stood up, nervously exclaiming in shock.
Even Lin Qinghan tightly clenched her fists, holding her breath in tension.
The Hunyuan Heavenly Saber, being an Emperor Soldier-level treasure, wielded a force that perhaps even the Nine Heavens Sword Formation would struggle to stop.
Things might end badly—Lu Changsheng could die!
“Isn’t he going to dodge?”
“Does he actually want to take on the Emperor Soldier with his bare hands?!”
“What a joke, a Golden Immortal, trying to block an Emperor Soldier? That’s far too arrogant!”
The people of the Tai Hua Holy Land were astonished, seeing that Lu Changsheng still showed no intention to dodge.
This was no ordinary treasure!
“That seems a bit forced.”
“Perhaps it’s time to intervene and stop this competition.”
Several Elders thought the Emperor Soldier was too perilous.
Especially since Lu Changsheng was in the Golden Immortal Realm, trying to face an Emperor Soldier was bound to be exceedingly difficult.
Lu Changsheng held his breath and focused, wanting to test his limits.
Though the Emperor Soldier was powerful, Jiang Yu, who wielded it, was only at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, which made Lu Changsheng want to take the risk.
“You truly are arrogant and presumptuous!”
Jiang Yu stimulated the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber, which trembled violently as its light grew even more dazzling.
With Jiang Yu’s level of cultivation, wielding the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber was already challenging.
At this point, Jiang Yu couldn’t stop controlling the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber.
The Hunyuan Heavenly Saber fell with a might that would pull down the rotting and pull up the lavish!
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, sensing its master in danger, spontaneously protected him.
Brilliant light shone for miles, and a twenty-seven-layer golden Treasure Pagoda formed a light barrier!
The Hunyuan Heavenly Saber struck the light barrier, its fierce saber Qi tearing through the resplendent brilliance.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was not yet at the level of an Emperor Soldier; the miles of brilliant light could only weaken the saber Qi of the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber, but couldn’t fully stop it.
“Is that a Merit Treasure?”
“This Merit Treasure still cannot withstand my Hunyuan Heavenly Saber.”
Jiang Hong had absolute confidence in the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber.
Merit Treasures were not rare.
But for a Merit Treasure to reach the stature of an Emperor Soldier, it required great merit.
The Buddha at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple possessed an Emperor Soldier-level Merit Treasure, but it was forged from the Power of Faith accumulated from countless beings and a million years of worship.
“Useless!”
Jiang Yu was surprised that Lu Changsheng had a Merit Treasure, but he still looked down on it.
In the presence of the Emperor Soldier-level Hunyuan Heavenly Saber, the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda simply couldn’t withstand it!
Lu Changsheng’s body shone with a radiant cyan light, facing the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber with his flesh and blood.
“Is this the Body Tempering cultivation technique ‘Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art’?”
“This technique was created by the Ancient Qing Emperor in the Immortal Emperor Realm, and after the Qing Emperor perished, this technique has been lost for many years. How has this young man cultivated a long-lost art?” Find your next read at empire
“Truly strange.”
The Elders of Tai Hua Holy Land exchanged bewildered looks.
Lu Changsheng had indeed brought them many shocks that day.
Boom!
The saber light struck Lu Changsheng, who fell from the sky, the saber Qi following him down, destroying everything in its path!
The Martial Arts Platform was completely destroyed, and the barrier violently shook.
If it weren’t for the barrier protecting the martial arts platform, the main peak itself would have been damaged.
This time, it was Lu Changsheng who was sent crashing to the ground.
However, Jiang Yu had used an Emperor Soldier artifact, which was even more terrifying in power, turning the martial arts platform into ruins.
“How about that? This is the outcome for opposing me, Jiang Yu.”
Jiang Yu was dripping with sweat, looking as if he had been fished out of a pool.
Employing the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber had nearly exhausted all of Jiang Yu’s true qi.
But ultimately, he had still eliminated this major threat.
“Daoist Changsheng couldn’t have fallen just like that, could he?”
“Relying on his physical body to forcibly receive an attack from an Emperor Soldier seems far too forced.”
Seeing that Lu Changsheng had not appeared for a while, and the martial arts platform was already in ruins, the faces of the people from the Holy Land of Tai Hua turned pale.
If someone were to fall during the competition between the Holy Sons, no matter who it was, it would be no small loss for the Holy Land of Tai Hua.
“It seems like our descendants from the Jiang Clan are still superior after all.”
Jiang Hong, upon seeing Jiang Yu force Lu Changsheng down into the ground—even though it involved using an Emperor Soldier—felt victorious nonetheless.
“…”
The other elders were speechless.
Jiang Yu relied on his cultivation at the Quasi-Emperor level, which gave him an advantage in terms of realm, and he even used an artifact wielded by emperors.
This was within the rules, but the victory was somewhat inglorious.
“You’re celebrating a bit too early.”
The voice of Lu Changsheng came from beneath the ground as he rushed out from the ruins of the martial arts platform.
Although Lu Changsheng had a cut on his chest, his momentum had not decreased by much.
Moreover, because he cultivated the Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art, Lu Changsheng’s vitality was exceptionally resilient.
In Lu Changsheng’s hand was a cyan and white divine seal, and around it, sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling appeared, and behind Lu Changsheng were the phantom silhouettes of true dragons and magical tigers.
“This is an Emperor Soldier forged from the Heavenly Cyan Divine Stone!”
Several ancestors were alerted at the same time.
They were sharp-eyed and immediately recognized the material of the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal!
Simultaneously, they all turned their gaze toward Lin Xuantong.
Lin Xuantong gave a wry smile: “This indeed wasn’t a treasure I bestowed upon him.”
“Ah?”
The elders were stunned.
How could this junior defy the heavens so? A mere Golden Immortal with an Emperor Soldier?
Emperor Soldier artifacts are meant for the use of Immortal Emperors.
A Golden Immortal possessing an Emperor Soldier is like a high school student inheriting billions in wealth.
“How come you also have…”
Jiang Yu’s scalp went numb.
He had thought that upon bringing out the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber, the situation was settled, but he hadn’t expected that Lu Changsheng also had an Emperor Soldier, in no way inferior to his.
The opponent was clearly just a Golden Immortal, yet his methods were so numerous!
“Now it’s my turn to attack.”
Lu Changsheng poured a significant amount of true qi into the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal, with its cyan and white light shining brilliantly, and the terrifying pressure was no less than that of the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber!
This indirectly indicated that Lu Changsheng’s true qi was not less than Jiang Yu’s.
Driven by Lu Changsheng, the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal transformed into the size of a mountain, overshadowing the sky and pressing down on Jiang Yu!
Jiang Yu gritted his teeth and continued to motivate the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber to contend with the Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal.
The two Emperor Soldiers collided violently in mid-air, and cracks appeared in space!
Jiang Yu’s eyes were bloodshot, and his eyeballs were full of blood vessels.
Repeated use of the Emperor Soldier had drained his true qi to the limit; his body was trembling, and cracks had appeared on his Quasi-Emperor true body.
“Impossible!”
What made Jiang Yu even more desperate was that Lu Changsheng, a Golden Immortal, had magical power on par with his!
“Jiang Hong, if your descendant continues the fight, I’m afraid his Dao body will completely shatter due to being unable to endure the drain from the Emperor Soldier.”
The Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan looked toward the Jiang Family Ancestor.
Jiang Hong’s expression darkened and he vanished on the spot.
The next moment, Jiang Hong appeared between Jiang Yu and Lu Changsheng, waved his sleeve, and the true qi of both men dissipated, the Hunyuan Heavenly Saber and Dragon Tiger Emperor Seal each returned to the hands of Jiang Yu and Lu Changsheng.
“Let’s call it off here. It’s my descendant’s lack of ability, he has already lost.”
Jiang Hong glanced at Jiang Yu’s Dao body which had already developed cracks and knew that Jiang Yu had reached his limit, so he conceded defeat on behalf of Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu was unwilling: “But ancestor…”
“Shut up!”
Although Jiang Hong wanted his descendant to rise above others, if the fight continued, Jiang Yu might very well be killed by Lu Changsheng.
