“Your true realm isn’t much higher than ours. It’s just that you’ve cultivated demonic arts, including a lost ancient poison technique that we are not familiar with, which is why we were defeated by you.”
Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan calmly analyzed the current situation, sensing that Lin Beichen’s true strength wasn’t much higher than his and the Jiang Family Ancestor’s. It was only that Lin Beichen was indeed a rare talent, able to merge the Sect-defining Ultimate Art of Mount Taihua with the cultivation techniques of the Demon Sects.
“Master, the ‘One Sword Across Ages’ and the ‘Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art’ you taught me, I have not forgotten them. Moreover, I have even figured out a way to break them. You will not escape today’s disaster.”
“Is that so?”
“Oh?”
The calmness of Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan gave the arrogant Lin Beichen a bad premonition.
The Elder Ancestor’s eyes were sharp and his aura underwent a tremendous change. “Today, let me show you the ‘Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art’s ninth heavenly realm that I never taught you.”
“No, it’s impossible! How could you have realized the final heavenly realm! Don’t think you can deceive me!”
Lin Beichen suddenly became panicked.
One of the Sect-defining Ultimate Arts of Mount Taihua, ‘Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art’, is divided into nine heavenly realms.
In the history of Mount Taihua, the number of people who could cultivate the last heavenly realm are very few!
Truly very few!
You could count them on one hand!
However, the rising aura of Elder Ancestor told Lin Beichen that he was not joking with him.
“Elder brother, you must not force it…”
The Jiang Family Ancestor knew that Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan could barely enter the ninth heavenly realm, but doing so would damage his Dao Marks.
Dao Marks being damaged meant irreparable harm and an inability to achieve immortality.
“Even the Mount Taihua Goddess who founded our holy land could not escape disaster, why should we, the later generations, be afraid of death?” Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan said indifferently, and then rebuked Lin Beichen, “Filial disciple, today your master shall personally clean up the sect!”
“Damn you, old thing!”
Lin Beichen’s handsome face twisted; he would have to bear the ‘Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art’s ninth heavenly realm unleashed by the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Clan.
…
“Lin Xuantong, you are no match for me, so surrender willingly.”
Song Tianfang led the other three protectors of the Blood Sea Palace, besieging Lin Xuantong, Liu Mufeng, and Feng Qing’er.
Lin Xuantong, Liu Mufeng, and Feng Qing’er were in a three-versus-four situation, and with the more powerful Song Tianfang among the attackers, they all sustained injuries.
Lin Xuantong took the Qilin Blood Essence Pill, and his momentum rapidly increased.
Lin Xuantong’s eyes were also sharp, and his Immortal Sword cut through his palm to make a blood sacrifice for the sword. “Today, let me show you the Fifth Sword Realm of ‘One Sword Across Ages’.”
The fierce Sword Qi was born from the body of the Immortal Sword; countless Sword Qi’s whipped up like a storm, causing endless turbulence in the fabric of time and space due to the Sword Qi!
The Immortal Sword in Lin Xuantong’s hand trembled violently, as if even the Dao Artifact could not withstand the terrifying Sword Qi of the Fifth Sword Realm.
The Fifth Sword Realm, the ultimate state of ‘One Sword Across Ages’, capable of killing beings who have achieved immortality!
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
Song Tianfang and the other three protectors of the Blood Sea Palace turned pale, for they had naturally heard of Tai Hua’s supreme sword art, but never imagined that Lin Xuantong could actually execute the Fifth Sword Realm!
“Xuantong!”
Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing’er were both worried for Lin Xuantong.
Lin Xuantong was relying on the Qilin Blood Essence Pill to elevate his realm, which allowed him to barely execute the Fifth Sword Realm.
Forcing out the Fifth Sword Realm caused great damage to Lin Xuantong.
“I want to see Yue’er and my daughter once more, I won’t die here easily.”
Lin Xuantong endured the horrifying backlash from the Fifth Sword Realm, his eyes bloodshot.
Images of his wife and daughter appeared before him.
He had to survive.
When the sword of the Fifth Sword Realm was swung, there was no light in heaven and earth, and the faces of the four protectors of the Blood Sea Palace turned ashen.
They had actually witnessed the legendary Fifth Sword Realm.
…
“So it’s just a soulless puppet after all, the Taiyin Goddess has indeed died.”
The Demon Monarch Huanye only had half of her body left, and her breath was at its weakest point.
The Goddess Puppet of the Taiyin severely wounded the Demon Monarch Huanye, but it too returned to the talismans due to True Qi exhaustion.
“Divine Kings really are troublesome to deal with…”
Lu Changsheng used all kinds of methods, but he still couldn’t kill the Demon Monarch Huanye.
The Reversed Spirit Immortal Pills were also all used up.
The Divine King Realm is indeed vastly different from the Immortal Emperor Realm.
A normal cultivator of the Immortal Emperor Realm simply cannot contend with a great expert of the Divine King Realm.
Lu Changsheng exhausted all his methods but only managed to inflict heavy injuries on Demon Monarch Huanye, unable to kill her.
“No, she’s reached her limit too.”
Lu Changsheng found the effects of the Crazy Demon Defying Heaven Pill were rapidly declining, and clearly, Demon Monarch Huanye had reached her limit.
So, Lu Changsheng, holding the Qing Emperor Sword, charged at her once more.
He was gambling with his life, it was either the death of Demon Monarch Huanye or his own.
Under normal circumstances, as a strong practitioner of the Divine King Realm, Demon Monarch Huanye could recover True Qi much faster than Lu Changsheng, who could not give her any chance to catch her breath.
Driven to such a state, Demon Monarch Huanye also fought with red eyes, continuing the fierce battle with Lu Changsheng.
In such a desperate situation, Lu Changsheng fought while stuffing all kinds of Elixir Pills into his mouth, not even having the time to check what they were.
He threw out one Great Dao Golden Thunder Charm after another, one World-Ending Black Flame Charm after another, attacking Demon Monarch Huanye.
The Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul, the Chi Mei Wang Liang, and various Immortal Emperor puppets were all summoned by Lu Changsheng, who used every means at his disposal to fight to the death with Demon Monarch Huanye!
The ferocity of this battle was unprecedented.
Lu Changsheng even gambled his own life on this fight!
It was a matter of seeing who would give out first!
To prevent the battle from affecting the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower, Lu Changsheng sealed the exit, preventing Lin Qinghan and the others from going out to help; they could only keep praying for Lu Changsheng.
In such a fierce battle, they could not help anyway and would only distract Lu Changsheng.
The intense battle lasted for three days and nights, darkening the sky, and Lu Changsheng almost exhausted all the Elixir Pills he had brought.
Boom.
Demon Monarch Huanye and Lu Changsheng collapsed almost simultaneously.
Lu Changsheng was blood-soaked, his vision tinted red with blood as he lay amid the ruins, his breath weak to the extreme.
For the first time, Lu Changsheng was this close to death.
But in the end, Lu Changsheng barely squeezed out a wry smile.
Because Demon Monarch Huanye had stopped breathing, she had been tirelessly worn out by Lu Changsheng until the last of her energy was drained.
He was finally safe.
Suddenly, a terrible presence descended, and a man wearing a mask landed, looking at Lu Changsheng and Demon Monarch Huanye, lying among the ruins.
Lu Changsheng still had a faint breath, but Demon Monarch Huanye was completely lifeless.
“Huh.”
The man seemed surprised.
Although Demon Monarch Huanye was only a ninth-rank Divine King, she had all sorts of skills and Divine Powers, far from what someone at the Immortal Emperor Realm could compare with, yet Lu Changsheng had managed to kill her, and this was surprising to him.
Feeling this presence, Lu Changsheng realized it was Protector Yang from the Blood Sea Palace.
The protectors of the Blood Sea Palace were all Divine King-level Heretic Cultivators with deep hatred and grudges against the various Holy Lands. At this point, Lu Changsheng could barely move a finger, let alone defeat another Divine King.
Could it be that I, Lu Changsheng, am doomed to die here?
Lu Changsheng thought to himself with a bitter smile.
Being able to defeat one Divine King Realm expert was already his limit; now faced with another such expert, it seemed too much for him to bear.
Protector Yang talked to himself, “You really are strong, huh? Demon Monarch Huanye was a subordinate of the Cold Bone Demon Venerable, a ninth-rank Divine King, and yet she was killed by you.”
It turned out that the two strong practitioners from the Demon Realm were not under the command of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, but under the Cold Bone Demon Venerable.
It appeared that there was a division of power in the Demon Realm and that practitioners from the Demon Realm only followed the commands of the Demon Lord they belonged to.
Lu Changsheng learned which Demon Lord wanted to kill him, an important piece of information.
It was too late, though.
He was on the verge of death, what good was this information now?
Lu Changsheng had no chance for revenge.
Unexpectedly, Protector Yang merely glanced at Lu Changsheng and then left just like that.
He isn’t making a move?
Seeing that Protector Yang spared him, Lu Changsheng could not understand.
However, Lu Changsheng’s body was too exhausted, and the world before him turned black as he passed out.
After battling Demon Monarch Huanye for three days, Lu Changsheng couldn’t take it anymore.
