Chapter 453: Heaven's Vessel! Three Million Sword Immortals in the Sky, Even They Must Lower Their Brows Before Me! (Part 1)
2024-10-19
"You have some combat intelligence, kid."
Facing the dense horde of Ghost Kings and Malevolent Ghosts, Huo Zhen couldn't ignore them and had to temporarily divert his attention. He blew a breath, and the eerie frost aura spread around him without dispersing.
Boom!
The densely packed Malevolent Ghosts and Ghost Kings charged forward, and upon contact with the frost aura, they were instantly frozen once again.
Even the long-range attacks launched by the Ghost Kings were frozen!
A super barrier was formed, an absolute defense against the Malevolent Ghosts, blocking all attacks from the outside.
After completing this, Huo Zhen smiled slightly at Qiu Yongqin, "Unfortunately, my experience surpasses yours."
"The great battles I've experienced, how can they compare to yours?"
"Do you understand the true value behind the seemingly simple phrase 'late bloomer'?"
Then, he turned back and continued to forcefully refine the Soul Vexing Banner.
Qiu Yongqin's face turned even paler.
But he also knew that he must not let the other party succeed.
Otherwise, just these billions of Malevolent Ghosts that had turned against him could gnaw him to the bone.
He had to be ruthless to have a chance to resolve the current predicament.
"Huff..."
He raised the longsword in his hand and pointed it towards the sky.
"Nine Heavens Mystic Cataclysm, transform into Divine Thunder. With the mighty force of heaven, draw the sword... and summon it!"
A thunderclap boomed.
Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking out the sun!
In this small world, the once clear sky was suddenly covered by thick clouds, and the thunder serpents within them possessed unimaginable might. Even Huo Zhen, a genuine True Immortal, felt his scalp tingling and abruptly opened his eyes wide.
"What?! This thunder...!"
"What kind of thunder is this?!"
He had seen countless thunderbolts.
Whether it was the tribulations he crossed before becoming an immortal, watching others cross tribulations in the Immortal World, or various thunder techniques...
But at least in the True Immortal realm, he had never seen such thunder!
This...
Eerie thunder!
One could clearly sense that these 'thunders' were powerful.
Yet, they also gave off a peculiar feeling of strength without substance.
Indescribable and incomprehensible.
Powerful!
Yet, also very weak.
But they couldn't be ignored! Huo Zhen was astonished.
At this moment, Qiu Yongqin himself felt the same way.
"This thunder..."
Cold sweat instantly trickled down his forehead.
He had used the Divine Sword Thunder Control Art more than once.
But it was always on the Immortal Martial Continent.
This was the first time he used it in this 'enclosed' space.
Previously, he even doubted if he could summon thunder within the vessel. After all, the vessel might not be a complete world, so summoning thunder was uncertain!
But now...
The thunder arrived.
The oppressive force was overwhelming.
Yet, the number of thunders was scarce...
The thick clouds loomed, layer upon layer, darkening the sky!
But the thunder serpents within, both inside and out, numbered only one.
A tiny one.
But at this moment, Qiu Yongqin had no time to care about anything else. He gritted his teeth and executed the Divine Sword Thunder Control Art to its utmost!
Boom!
The thunderbolt descended.
The tiny thunder serpent entered Qiu Yongqin's longsword, and in an instant, Qiu Yongqin began to tremble, his hair 'exploding'!
"Good!"
"Perfect!"
"Go!"
What does it matter if there's only one? The quality is high! Boom! The seemingly weakest Divine Sword Thunder Control Art was unleashed.
But as this sword fell...
The sword, which seemed to carry little thunder, instantly tore through the sky, shattering all the Malevolent Ghosts in the forward area, smashing the ice sculptures ahead, and slamming into Huo Zhen's protective frost aura!
Crack...
Crack!
The sword qi gradually froze.
But in an instant, the frozen ice shattered.
The sword qi continued to advance!
The thunder within it roared, constantly 'howling', and the surrounding area was forced to tremble as the sword qi surged forward, forward, forward!
The speed was so fast that Huo Zhen's expression changed abruptly.
"This thunder...!"
He couldn't afford to refine the Soul Vexing Banner anymore and had to use all his strength to suppress it.
The sword qi was quickly shattered by him.
But the tiny thunder serpent was agile and astonishing, forcefully breaking through the frost aura and penetrating his numerous defenses and blocking methods, reaching right before his eyes.
"Not good!"
Huo Zhen's pupils suddenly constricted.
He couldn't spare any attention to refining the Soul Vexing Banner, and he used all his strength to suppress it.
The might of a True Immortal was so powerful.
Even this strange and powerful thunder was forcefully crushed by him.
But...
His hand kept trembling, and his palm turned pitch black!
The Soul Vexing Banner, which he had temporarily set aside, had already disappeared.
A spatial rift was slowly restoring itself.
Huo Zhen: "..."
He was shocked.
For a moment, he even doubted himself, thinking he might have been defeated by this tiny thunder serpent! It was only because the opponent had no follow-up that he managed to survive.
He was terrified.
And what made him even more annoyed was that he, a True Immortal, was forced to retreat by a Lower World youngster, making his scalp tingle.
The Soul Vexing Banner, which he had almost completely refined, was taken back by the opponent...
And it was taken back by tearing through the space he couldn't even tear.
How could the opponent control the internal space so easily?
Very good!
He liked this treasure even more.
Huo Zhen didn't say anything more.
He directly charged at Qiu Yongqin and took the initiative to attack!
Mainly...
He couldn't pretend anymore.
Everything he said before was, in the end, just two words: 'bluffing.'
Up to now, he hadn't achieved any of his bluffs, and instead, he was almost forced into a corner by the opponent...
How could a True Immortal like him endure such humiliation?
Naturally, he used all his strength to kill this youngster, and then he would deal with other matters!
Qiu Yongqin retreated with a blast.
But his speed was naturally far inferior to Huo Zhen's.
Fortunately, he could control the space within this small world, slightly hindering his opponent.
Even so, the distance between them continued to close.
At this moment, Qiu Yongqin could no longer afford to be distracted.
"At the very least, as long as I'm here, you won't be able to move forward, not even a single step!"
His eyes narrowed, and he became utterly ruthless.
He unleashed all his abilities, and the refining power of the Jade Bottle itself was fully activated, but...
Against a True Immortal in the late stages, it was ineffective.
Instead, it allowed Huo Zhen to immediately sense this strange power, and his eyebrows flickered.
"Interesting."
"It actually has devouring and refining power?"
"What kind of treasure is this, to possess so many and such powerful abilities? It's unheard of..."
"Wait!"
He suddenly stared, suddenly remembering a legend.
"I seem to have heard of such an existence."
"A precious treasure."
"Within it is a space, like a small world."
"The spiritual energy in the small world is overwhelming, far surpassing ordinary Cavern Worlds, and it can even control the laws of time and space. It can influence the flow of time, and after comprehending the law of time to the extreme, one can even travel through the past and future!"
"Originally..."
"It seems to be a Primordial Treasure born at the beginning of the world, named... Heaven's Vessel?!"
Gurgle!
This thought startled even Huo Zhen.
Holy shit!
A Primordial Treasure, Heaven's Vessel?!
What is this thing...
What kind of existence is it? Even if it's not me, or the little guy in front of me, even the Immortal Kings in the Immortal World wouldn't be qualified to possess it, right? Once exposed, it will definitely bring disaster!
It is said that the first owner of Heaven's Vessel was the Hall Master of the Hall of Reincarnation, a genuine Immortal Emperor. But because he cultivated the law of time within it, the Time Ancestor became aware of it...
Upon discovering that he was involved in the path of time and had reached an extremely high level, even threatening his own status, the Time Ancestor couldn't tolerate it and took action, hunting down the Hall Master for over thirty thousand years!
The two fought simultaneously in the past, present, and future. In the end, the Hall Master was defeated and killed by the Time Ancestor, but after that, Heaven's Vessel went missing...
Could it be...
Could Heaven's Vessel have fallen into the Lower World and been obtained by this young man?
"!!!"
"No, that's impossible."
"If it's really Heaven's Vessel, how can he refine it? Even True Immortals can't refine it, let alone wield its power!"
"No, that's still wrong. It's not impossible."
"Although I don't know much about that great battle, when the Hall Master fought the Time Ancestor, it must have been astonishing. Both sides fought, and the Hall Master was killed. During this process, it's not impossible for Heaven's Vessel to have been damaged, causing its rank to drop."
"If that's the case..."
"If that's the case..."
"!!!"
Damn it!!!
Huo Zhen's scalp went numb, and he felt terrible.
If his guess was correct, it would be tremendous news.
Once the news spread, the entire Immortal World would be in an uproar.
The Immortal Martial Continent would be turned upside down!
Countless big shots would do everything to get their hands on Heaven's Vessel.
Even if the news couldn't be confirmed, even if... this treasure might just be a replica of Heaven's Vessel!
But if he kept it a secret and possessed it himself, he could definitely take off. The prerequisite was to keep it hidden.
Once he took Heaven's Vessel back, could he keep it a secret?
It would likely be discovered immediately.
Then...
Then he'd be screwed!
So, the problem was here.
Take it!
He would definitely be screwed.
Not taking it, he couldn't bear it.
It was like an ordinary person encountering an unclaimed gold mountain...
Knowing that possession would bring disaster, but not taking it... Who could do that? Who could let it go?
"..."
"Forget it, let's kill this kid first."
"Whether it's Heaven's Vessel or not, it's still unknown. Everything... let's talk after we get our hands on it!"
He clenched his teeth.
As for this news...
It must not be revealed!
As for forcing the opponent too hard, causing him to spread the news?
Huo Zhen thought it was impossible!
The opponent clearly didn't know the origin of Heaven's Vessel, nor did he understand what it represented. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to take it out, let alone bring Huo Zhen in!
After all, once discovered by Huo Zhen, it would be extremely dangerous.
Who would be so stubborn? Who would take such a gamble?
So, everything was just talk.
Kill him first!
He became even more ruthless.
He showed no mercy!
He didn't care if his intense attacks would destroy this space or damage this treasure.
Because, if his guess was correct, even a damaged Heaven's Vessel wouldn't be something a small fry like him could destroy!
Since that was the case...
Why fear it?
It's worth mentioning that Huo Zhen was quite self-aware.
He clearly understood that in the Lower World, he could be a big shot, but in the Immortal World, he was just a small fry, a nobody.
For a small fry like him to possess a treasure like Heaven's Vessel, it was like putting gold on his face. To say that he could destroy it was ridiculous.
With his full power unleashed, Qiu Yongqin instantly felt the pressure multiply.
Not long after, Qiu Yongqin was injured.
Even with all his abilities unleashed, the preparations he had made over the years were almost all used up in a single day. Without the Soul Vexing Banner's massive assistance, none of the Malevolent Ghosts could help much. His other abilities couldn't trouble Huo Zhen much.
Whether it was direct confrontation, sneak attacks, or various external treasures, it was the same.
When Huo Zhen took out his Immortal-grade spear, the situation became even more one-sided.
With just three strikes, three bright blood holes appeared on Qiu Yongqin's body!
The first strike forcibly blasted through all obstacles, reaching Qiu Yongqin.
The second spear thrust shattered the long sword in Qi Yongqin's hand, leaving it riddled with cracks and nearly destroyed. It also pierced his right shoulder!
The third spear thrust directly stabbed into his right abdomen...
Following this, the long spear was brandished, forcefully tearing open his abdomen, leaving a ghastly and terrifying wound!
Moreover, a large amount of Immortal Dao Law rapidly spread, eroding Qi Yong Qin's physical body and divine soul, leaving him heavily wounded, his face as pale as gold paper, and his combat power sharply reduced to about a third.
"You managed to withstand my three spears without dying."
"Boy, you have every right to be proud."
With victory in hand, Huo Zhen put on an act, chuckling and saying, "Given my disposition, I should have thoroughly tortured you, making you suffer endless torment before dying."
"But..."
"Now, I have changed my mind."
"You, die!"
The fourth spear was thrust out.
It seemed to transcend time, its speed astonishingly fast!
This spear aimed at Qi Yong Qin's skull.
Huo Zhen sought to end everything in one fell swoop, completely destroying his physical body and grinding his divine soul to nothing!
"!"
Qi Yong Qin no longer fled.
He had long stopped.
His eyes wide with fright, staring dead atHuo Zhen. The moment Huo Zhen made his move, Qi Yong Qin shouted, "It's now!"
"Give me..."
"Jade and stone are consumed together!"
Buzz!
The Time Law flowed.
The Dao of Time erupted quietly, acting upon Huo Zhen.
It was as if a slow-motion button had been pressed, making all his movements ten times slower, if not more.
Though still fast for a Ninth Realm cultivator, it was no longer an unattainableheight.
At this moment.
Qi Yong Qin forcefully advanced, pushing through the protective Immortal force and magical treasures, colliding fiercely into Huo Zhen's chest, dragging his injured body to cling onto the other tightly!
Boom!
Huo Zhen's protective Immortal aura and magical treasures exploded.
Almost instantly, Qi Yong Qin was perforated like a sieve.
His physical body was in ruins.
But he still clung onto the other tightly.
At the same time...
A vivid green 'Green Arrow' shot rapidly from behind, piercing through Qi Yong Qin's already damaged back, piercing both of them, and finally nailing both to a mountain!
"Ahh!"
Huo Zhen roared, spewing Immortal blood from his mouth.
Everything around them 'faded.'
This small world 'vanished.'
Or rather, they reappeared in the real world.
The two were strung together, nailed into the mountain side.
The Immortal blood Huo Zhen spewed from his mouth fell, the earth cracked and melted, instantly sinking into the ground for an unknown distance.
True Immortal blood was too powerful and dense, the Lower World's earth and stone could not bear it!
The 'Green Arrow' slowly dissipated.
Qi Yong Qin's expression was cold, but a bitter smile hung at the corner of his mouth.
He had reached his limit.
He had exhausted all means, even the desperate 'Jade and Stone Consumed Together' method.
Now, he had no more strength to fight, and it was extremely difficult to move even an inch of his body.
But he could clearly feel that Huo Zhen...
Had not suffered a fatal wound.
It was because the green arrow condensed in the small green bottle was so special, allowing him to be injured and making it difficult for him to retaliate in a short time.
But it was only to this extent.
His recovery speed was inevitably faster.
Perhaps...
In just one or two breaths, he would beboth body and soul extinguished?
"Sigh."
He sighed softly.
"Am I... at my end?"
"But, I have no regrets, no regrets."
He thought of his life...
In his youth, he toiled in the fields with his parents, later entered the Moon Embrace Sect, and for years, he lived in a daze. Until Lin Fan 'Ascended,'
Subsequently, the Moon Embrace Sect began to develop, but his parents tragically died.
On that day, by chance, he found the small green bottle, and since then, he lived for revenge.
Under the guidance and teaching of Sect Master and Senior Brother Fan, he made rapid progress, and after many years, with the help of his fellowdisciples, he successfully avenged...
After avenging, he had only one thought.
To serve the Sect.
To strive for the Sect's development and protect the Sect.
Now...
He had accomplished it.
Although he had not truly protected the Sect, at least he had done everything he could.
He...
Had no regrets.
Only, some regret.
He couldn't help but think of the girl in the light yellow dress, who had been waiting for him, but...
"..."
Silence.
In the silence, Qi Yong Qin's mood was complex, but at the same time, he silently mobilized the remaining Mystic Energy and Immortal force in his body, preparing for the final blow.
Indeed, he could no longer move.
But if he self-destructed...
It could still be done.
Feeling the destructive aura wildly surging and growing within him, H uo Zhen's pupils suddenly constricted.
"You really want to die, boy? !"
"Stop!"
"Do you know, even if you self-destruct now, you can only injure me, not kill me?"
"To die for an injury, how foolish is that?"
Qi Yong Qin smiled.
At the last moment of his life, he sneered, "Old man, are you senile?"
"I won't self-destruct. After you slightly recover, I will still only have one path to death?"
"Even if we both die, you may suffer greatly and die, you even more torment, why not self-destruct?"
"Idiot!"
Huo Zhen shouted angrily, "Those who self-destruct are not tolerated by the Heavens, and will completely disappear from all the Ten Thousand Worlds forever!"
"Killed by me, you still have a chance at reincarnation!"
"Stop it fast!"
"Ha ha."
Qi Yong Qin only chuckled coldly, not answering.
Whatafterlife or no afterlife?
What's there to be so conflicted about?
Besides, although I can't kill you, at least I can inflict more injuries and delay more time.
Even if it could only delay for a moment, the disciples of the main branch would have more time to grow and prepare, and they would all be a little stronger!
