Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Sir, I Will Help You Slay the Immortal (2nd Update)
With a sigh, a black-robed elder appeared before the Immortal Palace.
Upon seeing him, everyone from Wu Bucheng’s group trembled, then exclaimed in disbelief, “Elixir Heart Elder!”
The Elixir Heart Elder nodded and smiled to the crowd, “I never expected that after so many years, there would be those who still remember this old man who’s knocking on death’s door!”
Wu Bucheng and the others promptly adopted serious expressions and bowed respectfully, “We have seen the elder before us!”
The Elixir Heart Elder was the master of the Immortal Palace hundreds of years ago, and in terms of seniority, he was much higher than them.
It was unthinkable that he was still alive.
Now, this Xue An was truly doomed.
That’s what everyone was thinking in their hearts.
The Elixir Heart Elder smiled at Xue An, “Young Daoist, your talent is truly the first I have seen in my life, to defeat my unworthy disciple with the cultivation level of Half-step Longevity!”
At this moment, Fu Wuliang, upon seeing his master appear, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, casting a somewhat smug look at Xue An, thinking that now his death was certain!
However, facing such an ancient figure from hundreds of years ago, Xue An remained indifferent and coldly said, “You finally decided to show up, huh?”
A flicker of unusual color crossed the Elixir Heart Elder’s face, “Young Daoist, you knew of my existence?”
Xue An calmly said, “I’ve known from the start! What about it? Your disciple has been defeated, you’re coming out to save him?”
The Elixir Heart Elder chuckled, “It’s no big deal, young Daoist. How about you let my unworthy disciple go? I have prepared some light wine in the Immortal Palace so we can become friends, perhaps?”
Boom!
After hearing this, everyone was shockingly bewildered.
Such a being as the Elixir Heart Elder was actually being so polite to Xue An?
Even Fu Wuliang was a bit astonished, not understanding why his hot-tempered master was acting so out of character today.
But what everyone failed to anticipate was that Xue An shook his head, “Make friends with me… are you worthy?”
Upon those words, the entire place fell into a deadly silence.
The Elixir Heart Elder’s expression darkened, “Young Daoist, what do you mean by that?”
Xue An smiled faintly, “To tell you the truth, I came here to annihilate the two of you!”
With that, the Karmic Fire in Xue An’s hands surged, instantly engulfing Fu Wuliang.
“No… Master save….” He couldn’t finish his words.
Xue An’s supremely powerful Karmic Fire had already incinerated Fu Wuliang’s flesh.
A dazzling streak of light suddenly appeared, then attempted to escape.
It was Fu Wuliang’s Lifeforce!
Xue An grasped it with one hand, a smile emerging on his lips, and then he sealed it away.
The more Lifeforces he had, the more assured he could be in breaking the seal on Yan’er’s body.
All of this happened in an extremely fast manner, the Elixir Heart Elder hadn’t even had a chance to react before Xue An had killed Fu Wuliang and even sealed his Lifeforce.
Seeing this scene, the Elixir Heart Elder finally lost the calm demeanor of a respectable sage, shouting angrily, “Xue An, destroying my disciple’s body is one thing, but why did you seal his Lifeforce?”
Lifeforce was the most precious thing for a Golden Immortal, for as long as it remained unextinguished, there was a chance for rebirth!
“Because I need it, and not just his! Even you won’t be able to flee today!” said Xue An as he rose into the sky, with Karmic Fire boiling around him, charging straight toward the Elixir Heart Elder.
At this moment, fear also crept into the Elixir Heart Elder’s heart.
He truly could not fathom the background of Xue An, and Xue An’s revealed methods were all far too horrifying.
But as Xue An charged at him, he couldn’t help but angrily say, “Do you really think I am afraid of you?”
With that, the Elixir Heart Elder took a step forward, “Heart Demon!”
The Elixir Heart Elder’s cultivation level was far stronger than Fu Wuliang’s, plus his Lifeforce was condensed by himself, a flawless Golden Immortal.
Thus, his Divine Skills were a hundred times more formidable than Fu Wuliang’s.
With the emergence of the Heart Demon.
It shrouded Xue An within it.
The Elixir Heart Elder laughed wildly in triumph, “Xue An, you are still too young, you have fallen into my trap!”
From the beginning, the Elixir Heart Elder had feigned weakness, simply waiting for such an opportunity.
His Divine Skill, though seemingly weak when invoked, was actually incredibly powerful.
It was a Divine Skill that targeted the deepest depths of the human spirit.
Especially in the eyes of the Elixir Heart Elder, Xue An was so young yet possessed such formidable cultivation, his Dao heart must be unstable.
With the activation of this Heart Demon, his cultivation would shatter to pieces!
But his pride had lasted for only a few breaths when he saw Xue An form a sword with his hand, pierce through the enveloping black fog, and emerge from within.
“How… How is this possible? Why do you not even fear the Heart Demon?” the Elixir heart sovereign exclaimed in shock.
Xue An responded indifferently, “Because my Dao heart is as firm as a rock!”
The Elixir heart sovereign had no idea what Xue An had experienced.
Three thousand years of arduous cultivation had honed Xue An’s Dao heart to near perfection.
Although he ultimately perished when ascending to the Saint Realm because of a lingering obsession with An Yan,
his rebirth allowed him to find An Yan and their two daughters, mending all past regrets.
Thus, the current Xue An had a Dao heart that was crystal clear and flawless.
The Elixir heart sovereign’s Heart Demon held no sway over him!
The Elixir heart sovereign’s gaze flickered a few times before he gritted his teeth, “Good, indeed you’re no ordinary person, but you’ll still have to die!”
With that, the Elixir heart sovereign’s aura was finally unleashed to its fullest.
“Golden Immortal Peak!” Wu Bucheng exclaimed, his complexion paling at the sheer intensity of the aura.
The strongest cultivator in the Kunlun Immortal Realm had finally appeared.
In this moment, the Elixir heart sovereign wore an expressionless face, his bearing proud like an emperor reigning over the ninth heaven, with the winds and clouds of heaven and earth seemingly beneath his feet.
“Xue An, you should take pride in yourself for forcing me to exert such power!” the Elixir heart sovereign said with authority.
Xue An showed no fear, a faint smile instead emerging on his lips.
“After the seal is released, I presume you won’t live much longer before you fall.” Xue An said.
Xue An’s words enraged the Elixir heart sovereign.
“You indeed know everything. Rest assured, I won’t fall this time. Your cultivation level and talent are so formidable, I will make your body my own!” the Elixir heart sovereign declared with a sinister laugh, as he launched a punch from above.
It seemed that even space itself was shattered by this punch, which immediately appeared above Xue An’s head.
A look of solemnity couldn’t help but surface on Xue An’s face.
This was to be the strongest enemy he had faced since his return.
“Fist, Shock the Boundless!” Xue An roared, throwing a punch in response.
There was no sound, and the two punches colliding resembled nothing more than a mere greeting between two mortals.
However, a few breaths later, Xue An stumbled back several steps.
And the Elixir heart sovereign’s figure also swayed slightly.
Could it be that someone was actually matching a Golden Immortal Peak in battle? Just how powerful was this Xue An?
All the noble families and sects were dumbfounded.
This battle had exceeded their understanding.
“Xue An, you are indeed very powerful, but the stronger you are, the more I must kill you! Only by taking over your body can I hope to break through this accursed Golden Immortal stage! So die!” the Elixir heart sovereign said with a twisted expression of greed, launching another punch.
This punch was several times more powerful than the last, its might causing the space it passed through to crackle and creak as if it couldn’t withstand such a force and was about to break apart!
Boom!
Finally.
Xue An was forced back over a dozen steps by the punch, his complexion turning slightly pale.
“Xue An, I want to see how many punches you can take!” the Elixir heart sovereign laughed loudly, his presence becoming even more overwhelming.
Everyone thought the defeat of Xue An was inevitable.
Zhu Ruyan’s complexion was deathly pale in the distance.
Could it be… Could it be that he was going to lose?
Zhu Ruyan suddenly took a deep breath and calmed herself.
She recalled a Secret Technique mentioned by her mother when she was learning the Female Chastity Technique of her family!
By offering oneself as a sacrifice, one could maximize the support given to boost another person’s cultivation level.
But the condition was that one must completely trust the other person!
And the consequence of the sacrifice was the utter dispersal of one’s own soul!
At this thought, Zhu Ruyan suddenly smiled brightly.
My lord… this time, I shall assist you in slaying a celestial!
