Chapter 329: Your Destiny Has Arrived
Although killing intent surged in his heart, Lu Yang wasn’t in a hurry to act. After all, in this life, he was going to join the Sword Pavilion and become a good person from now on.
Boom!
In a flash of lightning, the [Mystic Spirit World Realm]’s Human Immortal Cheng Xian had already arrived in front of him. But at the same time, another figure intercepted him.
“Yu Shao.”
Cheng Xian’s eyes were grim, then he laughed loudly: “Good! I’ll capture you all together today. One day, there will be a place for me among the [Three Immortal Officials]!”
Although Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon had just displayed incomparably tyrannical strength, directly sweeping away Heaven Immortal Ming Hua and three Earth Immortals with a single sword light and heavily injuring them all, for some reason, Cheng Xian felt no fear in his heart. Instead, he became inexplicably excited.
Actually, I could have escaped just now too.
—Thoughts like this were quickly strangled by Cheng Xian as soon as they surfaced.
Ye Guyue deliberately opened a gap. If it were the old him, he would definitely have found a way to slip away. But now, his mind was filled with a single thought:
Eliminate Yu Shao, snatch back the [Shen Metal]!
Driven by this thought, Cheng Xian didn’t hesitate. He immediately channeled his spiritual power to the fullest, and a thunderous mantra exploded from his mouth:
“[Injury], [Dispel]!”
Thunderous sound vibrated. Cheng Xian’s originally heavily injured body actually began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to a perfect state in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this scene, Yu Shao’s expression instantly sank:
“True Word Technique…!”
Cultivation in the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] was different from Foundation Establishment. It wasn’t about combining different divine abilities and finally sublimating them to the extreme, but about deducing a single divine ability to the peak.
Ghost, Spirit, Human, Earth, Heaven.
Five levels of immortal ranks. Ghost Immortal and Spirit Immortal were all accumulation. Only when reaching Human Immortal could one receive bestowal from the Heavenly Court, sense heaven, earth and nature, and finally comprehend a [Technique].
Sublimating [Technique] into [Law] made one an Earth Immortal.
Sublimating [Law] into [Dao] made one a Heaven Immortal.
And if the [Dao] could align with the Heavenly Court, one could use the Heavenly Court to spread their own Daoist lineage throughout the world, revealing the righteous law of heaven and earth, thus ascending to the supreme position.
Cheng Xian, as the inheritor of the Daoist law of the Supreme Being of the [Mysterious Spirit Realm], he has comprehended the [True Word Technique]. If he advances to the Earth Immortal realm in the future, he can transform it into the [Heavenly Constitution Righteous Law]. If he went a step further, it could become the [Supreme True Immortal Dao], currently the number one Dao tradition in the [Mystic Spirit World Realm].
And the so-called [True Word Technique].
As the name suggested, a single word became the law of heaven and earth. Among them were numerous mantras, every word and sentence like a divine ability, capable of exerting incredible effects!
For example, at this moment.
Cheng Xian relied on the [True Word Technique] to temporarily dispel the impact of injuries on himself, climbing his combat power back to its peak state.
However, this wasn’t truly ‘speaking the law’. The so-called dispelling of injuries was only temporary. When Cheng Xian’s spiritual power was exhausted and he could no longer maintain the operation of the [True Word Technique], the dispelled injuries would return. At that time, not only would there be no improvement, but they would worsen several times over!
Prolonged battle is disadvantageous… i must finish the battle quickly!
Although Cheng Xian couldn’t generate a single thought of escaping, he felt himself clear-headed and calm. With a thought, he channeled thirty percent of his spiritual power to his throat—
“[Death]!”
Life and death are impermanent. This character was the most adept at killing in the [True Word Technique]. Bursting out at this moment, it locked directly onto Yu Shao.
In just one encounter, Yu Shao’s whole body was covered with intense death Qi without any warning. He inhaled one breath, but no second breath came out. His face turned greenish-white, and he could only retreat in a sorry state, channeling full spiritual power to resist the heavy drowsiness arising in his mind.
He couldn’t even take one move!
Also being a Human Immortal, Cheng Xian almost caused Yu Shao to die suddenly on the spot with just the word “[Death]”. Such strength made Ye Guyue and Ye Xingfeng’s hearts sink.
This person really has some means…
If not for Uncle’s intervention, and we fighting him alone, the odds of winning or losing would be fifty-fifty…
But just right. Letting this person kill that Lu Yang can be considered making the best use of everything. With his strength, Uncle has no reason to say we failed to protect him properly…
In combat, divine abilities have no eyes.
Being careless and dying is very normal.
With this thought, Ye Xingfeng and Ye Guyue exchanged a glance, understanding each other tacitly. Ye Xingfeng quietly rode a sword light to Lu Yang’s rear.
Although intending to let Cheng Xian kill Lu Yang, the [Shen Metal] was of great importance and couldn’t really be let go to Cheng Xian. So he planned to let Lu Yang act as a meat shield in front first. When Cheng Xian killed him and was exhausted, he would then take action to snatch the treasure. Presumably, Cheng Xian would be powerless to stop him.
Everything happened in a flash.
The next second, as Yu Shao retreated in panic and no one else blocked in front of Lu Yang, Cheng Xian channeled full spiritual power again and burst out a thunderous sound from his mouth—
“[Execute]!”
The power of this character was no less than “[Death]”. Instantly, layers of heavenly light sprayed from his mouth shining on Lu Yang .
Thousands of strands of golden light were densely packed, transforming into a large net binding Lu Yang’s whole body, making his true body unable to move for a moment. Then an invisible killing intent fell like a guillotine and slashing towards Lu Yang from top to bottom with irresistible force!
Announce first, then kill; this is called Execute!
Almost simultaneously, right behind Lu Yang, Ye Xingfeng dealt with several Human Immortals while circulating his whole body’s spiritual power, ready to snatch the treasure at any time.
However, in the next second.
Lu Yang raised his head, a smile appearing on his face. The corners of his lips split, skin and flesh disintegrated, and in a breath, he turned into rolling smoke like a tide!
[Sea of Sorrow]!
The second Great Void Divine Ability bestowed after returning from [Wu You Heaven]. Like [Essence of Myriad Fragrances], it ranked as superior, but its profundity was completely different.
Under the enhancement of this divine ability, Lu Yang’s body exploded with a bang. Rolling smoke instantly covered most of the sky, as if truly turning into an ocean. Cheng Xian’s “[Execute]” mantra landed on this cloud of smoke but passed straight through.
A fruitless attack?
“Ah!!!”
Before everyone could react, a shrill scream of extreme grievance suddenly came from the sky-filling smoke sea transformed by Lu Yang.
“Xingfeng!?” Ye Guyue’s pretty face changed abruptly.
Cheng Xian’s full-force attack, although missing Lu Yang who instantly transformed into a smoke sea, hit Ye Xingfeng behind Lu Yang squarely!
Originally, Lu Yang should have faced Cheng Xian’s full-force attack. Regardless of whether he died in the end, Ye Xingfeng would act. If dead, just right; he would kill Cheng Xian in the chaos and snatch back the [Shen Metal]. If not dead, it didn’t matter; he would finish him off with a sword stroke, settling the karma between them.
However, Lu Yang dodged.
Then the unlucky one was him.
In mid-air, Ye Xingfeng staggered. His whole body’s skin and flesh were evaporating violently. Cracks covered his body, and spiritual power constantly poured out from them.
He couldn’t stop it!
Even worse, he was simultaneously fighting several [Mystic Spirit World Realm] Human Immortals. At this moment, they were naturally happy to hit a person when he was down. Would they show mercy?
Boom!
The next second, Ye Xingfeng’s figure was hit by several streaks of brilliance. His body already on the verge of shattering, could no longer hold itself together. With a boom, it exploded directly into fragments!
On the other side, the sea of smoke recoiled and coalesced, reforming into Lü Yang’s figure. His Daoist robe billowed, and billowing clouds rolled out from his sleeves, swirling around him, making him appear like an immortal. His handsome face was marred by deep sorrow, his brows furrowed:
“Alas!”
“Senior Brother Ye, your destiny has come to an end!”
