Chapter 639: Who Isn’t a Celestial Too?
“Use it quickly and return it soon, I’m still busy fighting people!” Island Master Mo transmitted her voice across space. She was currently using the Other Mountain Stone to battle fiercely with the Eight Desolations Domain Lord when Bai Hongtu borrowed the stone away.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, this will be over soon.” Bai Hongtu responded.
“Daring to be distracted during battle? Don’t underestimate us!” Qian Desolation Lord roared in fury, activating the Misfortune-Dispelling Asura Mirror.
Both the Misfortune-Dispelling Asura Mirror and the Universe-Shaking Bell were immortal artifacts forged by Immortal Lord Luwu, extraordinary even among immortal artifacts.
The Qian and Kun Desolation Lords obtained merit through killing, converting it into immortal power to barely activate these two immortal artifacts.
The power of these immortal artifacts rivaled a full-force strike from an Earthly Immortal, having never encountered defeat across the myriad heavens and worlds.
“Misfortune-Dispelling Asura Mirror!”
Yin energy swirled around the mirror surface, transforming into ranks of yin soldiers that emitted mournful wailing sounds, like the cries of ghosts.
These yin soldiers came from both the Immortal Realm and the Eight Desolations, all being defeated deceased warriors who had been refined and stored within the mirror.
Their strength was formidable, fighting in organized columns powerful enough to trouble even Earthly Immortals.
Anyone killed by the mirror would be absorbed into it, becoming part of its power.
The more powerful beings it killed, the stronger the mirror became.
How to dispel misfortune? By transforming into an asura and slaughtering all enemies!
“Attack!”
Qian Desolation Lord commanded the yin soldiers. Earthly Immortal combat power held overwhelming advantage against the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
“Let me handle this! Confucian Guardians, appear!” The Great Scholar’s Manuscript volunteered, tearing off three pages with the character “battle” written on them.
Three Confucian Guardians appeared, radiating peak Earthly Immortal level fluctuations.
And this was just the result of the manuscript acting autonomously. If a Celestial Immortal used the manuscript, they could directly summon three early-stage Celestial Immortal Confucian Guardians.
Though the yin soldiers were powerful, they couldn’t defeat three peak Earthly Immortal Confucian Guardians.
Clang clang clang—
Bell sounds rang out, space became chaotic, the entire area transformed into undulating waves making it difficult to maintain footing. The Eight Desolations cultivators remained unaffected, taking the opportunity to counterattack.
Up, down, and all directions constitute the universe—the Universe-Shaking Bell was an immortal artifact that disrupted space.
“Using spatial Dao in front of me?” Brahma Tower scoffed contemptuously. It stood at the battlefield’s center, its form small yet giving the impression of a towering mountain range.
Brahma Tower stabilized space, the wavelike space returning to calm, the Eight Desolations’ advantage completely vanishing.
“You used immortal artifacts first, so don’t blame us for using ours too.” Bai Hongtu sneered coldly, holding the Great Scholar’s Manuscript while unleashing endless Dao techniques that rained down upon Qian Desolation Lord.
“Master, let me help you.”
Wishful Gourd sprayed tribulation light, directing it toward Kun Desolation Lord.
Brahma Tower came into Ji Zhi’s hands. Spatial Dao and temporal Dao complemented each other perfectly, sealing all changes and leaving opponents defenseless, forced to endure attacks passively.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng, seeing the Old Dragon King’s immense strength, considered trading injuries for injuries to seize victory.
Unexpectedly, the Four Seas Dragon Pearls came to the Old Dragon King’s hands. Now the Old Dragon King possessed Jiang Li Human Sovereign Power for offense and Four Seas Dragon Pearls for defense—unmatched in both attack and defense. Who would dare still regard him as a cultivator who just entered the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?
Emperor of Mengjiang and Wei Emperor lacked effective attack methods, so the Other Mountain Stone came to assist, piercing through that graceful-figured Desolation Lord.
Things might have been fine if the Eight Desolations hadn’t used immortal artifacts, but once they did, the Nine Provinces began using theirs too. The situation spiraled out of control, rapidly rushing toward Nine Provinces victory.
Suddenly, both Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin looked up simultaneously, detecting something.
Roar—
Four Earthly Immortal monsters tore through the dimensional barriers, descending upon the Nine Provinces.
Qian Desolation Lord saw the four Earthly Immortal monsters and beamed with joy, as if seeing the dawn of victory: “Haha, they’ve finally arrived! These four represent the Immortal Realm’s will! How dare you resist the Immortal Realm? Surrender immediately!”
Before breaking relations with the Nine Provinces, Qian Desolation Lord had received news from the three Immortal Ancestors that Immortal Lord Luwu valued this matter and had already dispatched reinforcements to help the Eight Desolations pacify the Nine Provinces.
Meanwhile, Supreme Immortal Baoyi finally escaped from the incense burner in a wretched state.
Not a single part of his body remained unharmed, and his injuries couldn’t heal automatically.
His injuries weren’t too severe, but to him they represented humiliation that needed to be washed away with blood!
“Human Sovereign Jiang, stay in that incense burner! After I destroy the Nine Provinces, I’ll settle accounts with you!”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi spoke viciously, sealing the incense burner to prevent Jiang Li’s avatar from escaping.
He didn’t understand why he couldn’t reach the same realm as Jiang Li, but that didn’t matter—he had plenty of time to wear Jiang Li down!
However, this kind of seal was useless against Jiang Li’s avatar. The avatar left the incense burner and returned to Jiang Li’s main body.
“By my command, form the array!”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi’s voice spread throughout the Nine Provinces and Eight Desolations. The battling Eight Desolations immortals and Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators ceased fighting, showing delighted expressions.
Supreme Immortal Baoyi was finally deploying his ultimate move to completely destroy the Nine Provinces.
“Eight Desolations Array—Eight Trigrams!”
The eight Desolation Lords stood at the eight trigram positions, contributing their power.
“Four Symbols!”
The four Earthly Immortal monsters obeyed Supreme Immortal Baoyi’s command, standing at the four symbol positions.
“Two Forms!”
The yin and yang lines disengaged from battle, standing at the two form positions.
“And me, Baoyi Guards the Origin!”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi’s power surged, officially advancing from half-step Celestial Immortal to full Celestial Immortal. Holding the Misfortune-Dispelling Asura Mirror and Universe-Shaking Bell, he reached the peak of his life.
He revealed a hateful expression, determined to completely overthrow the Nine Provinces.
“It’s time to end this farce. Celestial Immortals occupy the character ‘heaven’—they cannot be insulted!”
“Today, let you mortals witness what true Celestial Immortal might means!”
The Eight Desolations cultivators saw their Immortal Ancestor enraged, using his ultimate technique to reach heights unattainable by mortals, and knew the overall situation was decided.
The strength of Celestial Immortals far surpassed what mortals could achieve. They represented those with inexplicable connections to the Heavenly Dao, Celestial Immortals who themselves constituted the great momentum.
Just as Immortal Elder Changcun had previously fabricated about the Mahayana Stage—no matter how he exaggerated, he only dared say the Mahayana Stage could withstand thirty moves against a Celestial Immortal, not that the Mahayana Stage could defeat a Celestial Immortal.
Because Celestial Immortals represented heaven’s will, as different from Earthly Immortals as clouds from mud!
“Hmph, who isn’t a Celestial Immortal?”
Bai Hongtu didn’t regard Supreme Immortal Baoyi seriously. With the Spirit Plant Formation’s power enhancing himself, he directly advanced from Tribulation Transcendence Stage to Celestial Immortal, reaching the same height as Supreme Immortal Baoyi.
Against this kind of opponent, he didn’t even need to rely on immortal artifacts—he could suppress him with his own power.
“Forcibly elevated to Celestial Immortal? An ignorant junior who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. The profundity of Celestial Immortals—how could you mortals possibly comprehend it?”
“As a half-step Celestial Immortal and disciple of Immortal Lord Luwu, I understand Celestial Immortal profundity and have even battled Celestial Immortals. After becoming a Celestial Immortal, I can freely wield this power.”
“What about you? Never having encountered Celestial Immortals, even if elevated to that realm, your perspective remains at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.”
“Your very existence defiles the name of Celestial Immortals!”
Bai Hongtu looked at Supreme Immortal Baoyi as if watching a clown, speaking slowly.
“Shameless old fossil, I have experience battling Mahayana Stage experts. How dare you flaunt your pitiful experience fighting mere Celestial Immortals before me!”
“Commit suicide now, and your Grandpa Bai might leave your corpse intact.”
“You’re seeking death!” Supreme Immortal Baoyi roared in fury.
