Chapter 416: Reversing the Immortal Celestial Lord
Chapter 416: Reversing the Immortal Celestial Lord
"Roar!"
The golden dragon let out a thunderous roar, its dragon might surging forth like that of a true dragon in a fit of rage.
Immediately after, a landscape of mountains and rivers materialized, and within it, eighteen golden dragons roared. Ethereal figures raised their swords and brought them down with fierce strikes.
The Yin-Yang Everlasting Sword Wheels spun endlessly, forming a vortex that bound the Immortal Celestial Lord.
At this moment, Xu Yan's gaze turned icy. He unleashed all his divine abilities—True Dragon's Fury, Mountains and Rivers within the Sword, Dragon Subduing Palm, and Yin-Yang Everlasting Sword—in quick succession, merging and amplifying their power.
The Immortal Celestial Lord's expression turned cold, and he was shocked inwardly. How could Xu Yan, who was clearly not an Immortal Celestial Lord, possess such formidable strength?
Moreover, this martial art was unbelievably powerful, like nothing he had ever encountered before.
Even as an Immortal Celestial Lord, he dared not be careless at this moment. His aura surged, and layers of blade light rippled with the might of the heavens.
Despite this, he was unable to break free from the illusion of mountains and rivers in an instant, and he found himself in a defensive position, which was unimaginable to him.
He was an Immortal Celestial Lord, yet he had been pushed to such a desperate situation by someone who was not even at the same cultivation level!
The two elders from the Wan family, who were currently engaged in battle with the Blood Disciples, were stunned. They turned their heads, feeling their scalps go numb.
An Immortal Celestial Lord!
There had been an Immortal Celestial Lord hiding in Da Gai Shan all along?!
What shocked them even more was that Xu Yan was actually fighting an Immortal Celestial Lord. Was he tired of living?
Even though Xu Yan was exceptionally strong and no one could match the True King Celestial Lord, he was still far inferior to an Immortal Celestial Lord, unless he had already reached that realm himself.
"Have you gone mad?"
At this moment, the two Wan family elders were bewildered and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
However, the seven Blood Disciples went berserk and launched frantic attacks, even risking their lives to stop the two elders from fleeing.
"Damn!"
The expressions of the Wan family elders changed, and it was too late for them to try to escape now.
They could only pray that the Immortal Celestial Lord would spare their lives for the sake of the Wan family, but this hope was slim.
In the territory of the Wan family, the auras of two Immortal Celestial Lords suddenly appeared. The two elders wore grave expressions as they looked toward a certain direction in Da Gai Shan.
An Immortal Celestial Lord had appeared in Da Gai Shan and was currently engaged in battle.
"I'll go take a look."
One of the Immortal Celestial Lords from the Wan family said in a deep voice.
With a slight movement, he quickly headed toward the battlefield.
In a certain area of Da Gai Shan, Xue Zimuo suddenly raised his head, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
"You've finally taken the bait!"
He moved swiftly toward the ambush site.
At this moment, Xu Yan unleashed almost all his divine abilities. A light appeared between his eyebrows, forming an eye—the Little Eye of Heaven's Dao.
Buzz!
This eye, which had never been used before, suddenly shot out a brilliant light. It was like the vast will of the heavens, akin to the awe-inspiring might of a supreme being.
The light shrouded the Immortal Celestial Lord, and in that brief moment, he was filled with bewilderment.
"What kind of secret art is this?"
The light enveloped him, and he felt as if he were facing the majestic heavens, experiencing a sense of righteousness. Whether it was his attacks or his formidable strength, everything slowed down for that instant.
This secret art could actually slow down a cultivator beyond his realm—what kind of powerful art was this?
The price for using such a secret art must have been enormous.
Just then, a terrifying figure appeared behind the Immortal Celestial Lord with a thunderous rumble.
It shone with golden light, resembling a heavenly god.
Even more shocking was the appearance of a giant within this figure, as if a terrifying giant had emerged. The giant held up the sky, letting out a furious roar as it brought its hands down.
It was like the heavens themselves were being smashed down!
The divine ability was called 'Heaven Shattering, Earth Crushing'!
Meng Chong seized this fleeting moment and unleashed a ruthless and overwhelmingly powerful strike, revealing the full extent of his physical martial arts prowess.
Rumble!
In the distance, the Wan family elders and the seven Blood Disciples subconsciously stopped their battle, their eyes wide with shock as they witnessed this scene.
A name popped into their minds.
Heavenly God!
At this moment, they finally understood why Meng Chong was known as the Heavenly God!
Rumble!
The ferocious strike landed on the Immortal Celestial Lord. Even though he managed to put up a defense in this critical moment, it crumbled instantly under the sheer ferocity of the attack.
Pfft!
The strike created a huge crater on the ground, and the Immortal Celestial Lord spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly kneeling on the ground.
His face was filled with disbelief. How had he been injured?
Feeling the piercing pain in his internal organs and the chaos in his breath, his killing intent surged, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
He, an Immortal Celestial Lord, had been injured by someone of a lower cultivation level!
This was a disgrace!
"I will..."
However, at this moment, in addition to the relentless sword intent, a golden dragon raging in fury, and a black sword light that seemed to extinguish all existence, there was also a spear emitting a faint cold light, piercing through the air.
His eyes widened instinctively as he suddenly realized that this spear wasn't something perceived by the physical eye, but rather by the soul. It was a strike aimed at the very essence of his being!
Pu!
Even as he desperately tried to activate his soul-refining technique, even attempting to temporarily separate his soul from his body to evade the spear, it was all to no avail.
The gleaming tip pierced his soul, leaving a wound that began to expand. Wherever the spear struck, his soul seemed to dissolve.
Agonizing pain racked his soul, causing his eyes to fill with blood and nearly pop out of their sockets. Even an Immortal Celestial Lord, caught off guard, would be hard-pressed to withstand such soul-rending pain.
Almost instinctively, his hands flew to his head, and he let out a piercing, miserable scream.
And as the scream escaped his lips, he belatedly became aware that he was still in the midst of a fierce battle, but by then, it was already too late.
Boom!
The black sword light was more terrifying than ever, turning the sky above the crater into a blanket of darkness, as if extinguishing all existence.
It was relentless and carried with it the intent to annihilate, sending chills down his spine.
The pain in his soul slowed his reactions, and his defenses faltered. Only his instincts as a powerful cultivator kicked in, allowing him to muster a feeble defense.
However, this defense proved to be woefully inadequate.
Pu!
With a single sword strike, his body was cleaved open, his physical form beginning to dissolve.
Immediately after, the furious golden dragon pounced, seemingly intent on ending it all.
Another spear tip appeared, piercing his soul once more. Countless sparkling lights, like falling stars, rained down upon his soul.
Boom!
A fierce gale blasted his soul, tearing it to shreds. It felt as if a giant had grabbed the heavens and smashed them down upon his body.
Even an Immortal Celestial Lord, touted to live as long as the heavens and the earth, couldn't withstand such a ferocious assault. His physical body crumbled, his soul shredded, and he perished!
Having landed a successful strike, Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Jiang Buping went all out with their attacks.
Meng Chong focused on the enemy's physical body, as he himself was a master of the physical martial arts and knew exactly how to bring about the collapse of his opponent's body.
Meanwhile, Xu Yan and Jiang Buping targeted the enemy's soul.
Boom!
The very fabric of the world seemed to tremble, as if a force akin to the heavens themselves had been extinguished.
An Immortal Celestial Lord had fallen!
The Wan family's Immortal Celestial Lords, who were rushing to the scene, suddenly halted, their faces filled with shock and awe.
Despite the ongoing chaos and battles in the Jiushan Region, not a single Immortal Celestial Lord had fallen until now.
And today, an Immortal Celestial Lord had perished in Da Gaisan.
What was even more terrifying was that they could only sense the aura of a single Immortal Celestial Lord, and that fallen Immortal Celestial Lord was the one they had sensed earlier!
Who had killed him?
With no other Immortal Celestial Lord present, how had this one met his end?
Had he been ambushed and killed by True King Celestial Lords?
That was preposterous! Even if the entire Wan family of True King Celestial Lords ganged up, they wouldn't be a match for a single Immortal Celestial Lord!
"What happened?"
At that moment, the Wan family's Immortal Celestial Lord hesitated. He was afraid that if he went there, he might meet the same fate.
It was too dangerous!
An Immortal Celestial Lord had died!
After a brief moment of contemplation, he turned around and headed back to the Wan family's territory. This was not a risk worth taking.
Xue Zimuo, who was on his way to the battlefield, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face filled with shock. Had the Immortal Celestial Lord died?
Who had killed him? Xu Yan and Meng Chong?
Impossible!
No matter how strong Xu Yan and Meng Chong were, they were not Immortal Celestial Lords. If they could join forces to kill an Immortal Celestial Lord, he wouldn't have been chased all over by them.
"Who killed him? There's only the aura of a single Immortal Celestial Lord, which means it wasn't a battle between two Immortal Celestial Lords. If it were Xu Yan and Meng Chong, it's absolutely impossible for them to do this!" Xue Zimuo muttered to himself.
For a moment, he hesitated, unsure if he should go and investigate.
"Hmm? Is that the Wan family's Immortal Celestial Lord?"
Suddenly, he noticed the retreating figure of the Wan family's Immortal Celestial Lord, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be that the Wan family used some secret trump card and managed to assassinate their opponent in one strike?"
The Wan family's Immortal Celestial Lord was returning to their territory, and from the direction he was coming from, it seemed he had indeed been at the site of the battle.
After all, the Wan family was a longstanding and influential clan in Da Gaisan, and it was possible that they had obtained some special treasure that, with a stroke of luck, allowed them to take out the Immortal Celestial Lord by surprise.
But why could he only sense the aura of a single Immortal Celestial Lord?
"Blood Disciple Zimuo's strength is comparable to that of the Immortal Celestial Lord we just faced. If we engage him head-on, he might be able to escape," Meng Chong added, his brows furrowed in thought.
"He's definitely on his way here. This is our chance, brothers. Get ready," Xu Yan said with a mischievous smile. He quickly devised a plan to ambush Blood Disciple Zimuo.
Meng Chong and Jiang Buping hid according to the plan, while Xu Yan returned to the site of the Immortal Celestial Lord's demise, pretending to be inspecting the aftermath of the battle. If he encountered Blood Disciple Zimuo, he wouldn't let the opportunity slip away.
Facing Blood Disciple Zimuo, Xu Yan would feign escape, luring him into the ambush they had set up. It was a simple plan, and Xu Yan was confident that Blood Disciple Zimuo would take the bait, especially since news of their triumph over the Immortal Celestial Lord had not yet spread. If they crossed paths, Blood Disciple Zimuo would undoubtedly pursue him.
"This is the place!" Blood Disciple Zimuo approached the battlefield cautiously. Suddenly, his expression froze as he spotted a figure also sneaking around surreptitiously.
It was Xu Yan!
Xu Yan's behavior indicated that he had sensed the intense battle that had taken place and was now inspecting the area.
"What a perfect opportunity!" Blood Disciple Zimuo's eyes lit up. This was a chance that might never come again. Xu Yan's attention was focused on the site of the great battle ahead, and he hadn't detected Blood Disciple Zimuo's presence. It was now or never!
