Chapter 870: The Third Battle, Destroying Skyreach Ghost's Physical Body

The flying boat soared through the sky, its banners fluttering in the wind.

Cultivators gathered, and the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

The words, "Dan Zong, you've gone too far," elicited a light chuckle.

"Old Ghost, when you meddled in the internal affairs of Luo Tian Sect back then, did you ever feel that you were being unreasonable?"

Under the gaze of thousands, Luo Chen strolled forward.

Dressed in white, he stood at the bow of the Heavenly River Floating Ship.

Skyreach Ghost's face twitched, and he subconsciously glanced at the side where the Five Elements Divine Sect cultivators were.

He took a deep breath and said, "Times change, and this Skytouch Cliff has always belonged to my sect since ancient times!"

"Haha!"

Luo Chen burst into laughter, seemingly unaffected by the crowd.

"What a classic line, 'since ancient times'!"

Suddenly, his laughter ceased, and he spoke in a cold tone, "When the demons occupied the Skytouch Domain, why didn't you argue for justice then?"

"You?"

"Me?" Luo Chen's lips curled slightly, and he took out a black scroll, "I have the Holy Land Decree of Abyss Sect, and I can also expand the Skytouch Domain. What do you say to that?"

Skyreach Ghost pointed at Luo Chen, his finger trembling uncontrollably.

As his lips quivered, even his white beard shook.

At this moment, everyone understood that Dan Zong's mission was not only to find a Spirit Land for Luo Tian Sect but also to settle the score with Skyreach Ghost.

Many were aware of the internal strife within Luo Tian Sect, and some knew that Skytouch Cliff had been involved, along with another sect.

Furthermore, that sect was also present, needing the Skytouch Domain as their rear base for the upcoming Expansion War.

Many eyes turned unconsciously towards the Five-Colored Treasure Ship of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

Would Shen Yuan True Man intervene?

The answer was yes.

A hoarse and aged voice gradually spread through the air.

"Dan Zong, the demon chaos hasn't been completely resolved, yet you dare to provoke the human sects into an internal war. Isn't that going too far?"

On the Five-Colored Treasure Ship, the cultivators moved to the sides, making way for a figure hidden beneath a black robe.

The figure emerged slowly, and it was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Five Elements Divine Sect, the renowned Eastern Cultivator, Shen Yuan True Man!

Upon his appearance, Skyreach Ghost visibly relaxed.

Dan Zong's strength and fame were formidable, and facing them directly would be a daunting task for anyone.

Luo Chen stared at the figure, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He had never seen the true face of this potential enemy for so many years.

Perhaps today would be an opportunity.

Luo Chen took a sip of his drink and smiled.

"Shen Yuan, that's quite a bold accusation."

"My sect has no such intentions or abilities to provoke a war among the sects."

"How about this, to prevent bloodshed, let's limit this dispute to a battle between Nascent Soul Cultivators!"

Shen Yuan True Man fixed his gaze on Luo Chen and said indifferently, "What do you say?"

This was Luo Chen's chance to set the terms.

Without hesitation, Luo Chen raised three fingers.

"Both sides will each send out three people. The outcome will be decided by the number of victories, and the winner will claim the Skytouch Domain."

"Three battles to decide the Skytouch Domain?" Shen Yuan True Man chuckled, "Will I be included?"

"Of course!" Luo Chen exuded confidence.

Upon hearing this, several Nascent Soul Cultivators from Dan Zong, including Nine Spirit Lord, had their faces change slightly.

Nine Spirit Lord's expression turned solemn, and his mana fluctuated faintly.

In his opinion, if Shen Yuan True Man joined the battle, only he could stand against him.

However, he was still one step away from reaching the Great Cultivator realm.

While he could hold his own against Shen Yuan True Man, winning would be a challenge.

Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Luo Chen's plan.

Aside from himself, the remaining individuals, whether it was Luo Chen, Deng Taiyue, or the Windflower Fairy, were all highly skilled and formidable in combat.

Winning two battles would be a piece of cake!

On the other hand, Skyreach Ghost was worried. If they were to fight like a horse race, they didn't have the necessary conditions.

So, he secretly transmitted a message.

"Shen Yuan, you mustn't agree!"

Shen Yuan True Man glanced at him, "Do you not trust me, or do you not trust Peng Xiang True Man of White Deer Cave, or do you lack confidence in yourself?"

Skyreach Ghost opened his mouth, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

Before he could decide, Shen Yuan True Man spoke, "Fine, we'll do as Dan Zong says!"

Luo Chen clapped his hands and sighed, "As expected of a Great Cultivator, quick and decisive. To prevent future gossip, we should discuss the details of this battle carefully!"

Shen Yuan True Man became interested and asked hoarsely, "How do you suggest we proceed?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's simple. Ultimately, this is a dispute between Luo Tian and Skytouch Cliff. Our two sects must have a direct confrontation."

Shen Yuan True Man's gaze swept across the crowd on the Heavenly River Floating Ship and paused on Ling Feng Zi. With interest, he asked, "Will you fight, or will Ling Feng Zi fight?"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "Ling Feng Zi joined Luo Tian Sect not long ago, so it's not appropriate for him to fight."

"So, you'll fight?" Luo Chen hadn't finished speaking when Skyreach Ghost interrupted.

"No, it's unfair for Dan Zong to fight. It's like a strong cultivator bullying a weaker one!"

This statement couldn't help but elicit some laughter.

Dan Zong had only cultivated for less than three hundred years, how could they be considered a strong sect bullying a weaker one?

When had the Supreme Elder of Skytouch Cliff become so self-deprecating?

Even Luo Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

However, he quickly nodded.

"The old ghost is not wrong. With my Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation, it is indeed a bit unfair."

"How about this..."

"I'll send someone you'll surely accept!"

As everyone wondered, the tall figure of Wang Yuan emerged from the back and walked to Luo Chen's side.

"Luo Chen, this..." Windflower Fairy was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to mediate.

On the other side, Skyreach Ghost was already beaming with joy, "You're right, this is a dispute between Luo Tian and Skytouch Cliff. I, the renowned War Demon Wang Yuan, am willing to fight you!"

Disgusting!

This thought involuntarily appeared in many people's minds.

Even the disciples of Skytouch Cliff felt their faces heat up.

Shen Yuan Zhenren was taken aback. He hadn't expected Luo Chen to be so bold as to send Wang Yuan into battle.

The name War Demon was indeed renowned, but ultimately, he was not of the Nascent Soul realm!

Shen Yuan Zhenren fixed his gaze on Luo Chen, his eyebrows furrowing as he wondered what the other was planning. But since both parties had agreed, he couldn't refuse.

Shen Yuan Zhenren composed himself and slowly spoke, "For the second battle, let us nominate someone from our side. Peng Xiang Daoren of White Deer Cave, are you willing to take our place and learn their high-level techniques?"

A Daoist in black robes with a solemn expression bowed.

"This Daoist pays his respects!"

Peng Xiang's appearance elicited a chorus of exclamations.

Although not widely known, Peng Xiang's strength was by no means weak, possessing the profound realm of the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul.

His identity was even more impressive; he was the senior brother of Tie Guan Daoren, who had accompanied Luo Chen and the others in their invasion of the Dominant Saber Region.

Among those present, only the great cultivator Shen Yuan Zhenren could confidently claim victory over Peng Xiang.

As for the Luo Tian Sect?

The Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged glances, a few of them showing hints of dissatisfaction.

If Wang Yuan hadn't been sent out in the first battle, and instead, Feng Hua Xianzi, Tai Yue Zhenren, or even Lin Qingxuan, whose cultivation was on par with Skyreach Ghost, had been dispatched, the arrangement wouldn't have been so difficult.

Luo Chen seemed to ignore their discontent, his gaze falling on Nine Spirit Lord.

"Nine Spirit, do you have the confidence to defeat him?"

Nine Spirit Lord was brimming with confidence, "Thanks to your pill, after cultivating the Great Nine Heavens Celestial River, I have yet to lose to anyone of my generation. I knew Peng Xiang before, and we were perhaps equals, but now he is no match for me. However..."

Nine Spirit Lord's tone shifted, "If I fight in the second battle, who will you send against Shen Yuan Zhenren?"

"It's simple. Isn't there still me?" Luo Chen smiled.

The crowd was stunned.

They couldn't help but size Luo Chen up and down.

Everyone knew that Luo Chen held the title of Demon-Slaying True Man, earned through his prowess in combat.

He had even defeated the Seven Rhinoceros Demon Emperor with a single finger!

But in the end, Luo Chen was only at the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul realm, a vast chasm away from the realm of a great cultivator.

How dare he be so confident?

Nine Spirit Lord grew anxious, "Why not let Deng Daoren take on Peng Xiang, and I'll deal with Shen Yuan Zhenren instead!"

Deng Taiyue also chimed in, "Deng is also willing to contribute today."

Luo Chen shook his head, "Can you, Nine Spirit, defeat Shen Yuan Zhenren?"

Nine Spirit Lord hesitated, daring to challenge a great cultivator, but claiming a guaranteed victory was too arrogant.

"Can't you?" Luo Chen smiled faintly, "If that's the case, then secure a win for me. If Wang Yuan wins again, I might not even need to fight."

That made sense, but...

There was no 'but'. Luo Chen had already announced the third combatant in front of everyone.

"For the third battle, I, the sect leader of Luo Tian Sect, will personally fight!"

Shen Yuan Zhenren smiled.

The other's arrangement was simply a way to make it reasonable to fight him!

Indeed, with the full support of the Abyss Sacred Land, where could Luo Tian Sect not go? A mere Skytouch Region was of no consequence.

Perfect, he also wanted to test Luo Chen's true strength.

Since that was the case, he would indulge Luo Chen's wishes!

"In that case, I am willing to meet you in battle!"

With the combatants decided, the outcome was set, regardless of what anyone thought.

Soon, the battle location was also chosen.

It was in the Taihu Region, adjacent to the Skytouch Region!

...

The treasure ship turned, and the flying boat changed course.

As the flying lights flickered, countless cultivators were already scattered along the border between the two regions.

Mirror water techniques were displayed, catering to the low-level cultivators with less refined divine sense and weaker eyesight.

However, the Nascent Soul cultivators didn't need such assistance.

Luo Chen stood at the forefront of the treasure ship, facing the wind.

The land below was exposed, covered in turtle-like patterns, desolate for thousands of miles without any living beings.

Ling Feng Zi, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "Logically, the Taihu Region is quite far from the Green Sky Region where the Divine Transformation Battle took place. It shouldn't have been affected much, but the extent of its damage is no less than the adjacent Nine Spirit Region, which is truly strange."

Master Fu, standing beside him, agreed, "Indeed, I had intended to choose this place as the cultivation ground for the Divine Seal Sect, but I didn't expect that the only fourth-rank spirit vein here has been destroyed. Such a place is no longer suitable for cultivators. Even after modifications by cultivators, it can only accommodate mortals at best."

Luo Chen listened silently, a smile on his face.

The Taihu Region shouldn't have been destroyed so severely.

The culprit was undoubtedly the Divine Transformation Battle, but it was his battle with the Centipede Demon Emperor that led to the destruction of the fourth-rank spirit vein beneath Taihu Palace."

But this was not something to be shared with outsiders.

Of course, such a vast piece of land shouldn't be wasted.

Later, let the cultivators make slight modifications, redirect the water veins, and then let a large number of mortals live and thrive here, which can also serve as a channel to supplement the immortal sect with living strength.

As for now?

Two figures broke through the air and landed on the remnants of two mountains.

One was Skyreach Ghost, and the other was War Demon Wang Yuan!

"Junior, surrender early and spare yourself the pain," said Skyreach Ghost, his face full of confidence.

Wang Yuan slowly put on a pair of silver-white gauntlets, his eyes lowered, his tone cold.

"On the battle platform, you lent your life artifact to Yin Si Xiang to suppress me. Today, I will repay this grudge tenfold!"

Skyreach Ghost was taken aback, as he had almost forgotten about this.

However, Wang Yuan had never forgotten.

After a brief conversation, Wang Yuan took action.

With a step, thunderous sounds echoed as he crossed hundreds of meters in an instant and smashed down towards Skyreach Ghost.

Such a swift move surprised many.

Only Luo Chen seemed to have expected it, his expression one of foreknowledge.

This was the Explosive Step he had created in his early years, inspired by the spatial teleportation technique of the Qing Shuang Demon Emperor.

As Wang Yuan unleashed his technique, the spectacle was no less impressive than when he had first learned it, and with the enhancement of his Divine Aura Combat Qi, the movement was even more ferocious.

Although Skyreach Ghost was caught off guard by this move, his Divine Sense quickly spread out, allowing him to react.

He swiftly created a yellowish-brown shield to protect himself.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a flying sword shot out, aiming straight for Wang Yuan's head.

But the next moment—

Boom!

The yellowish-brown shield, visible to the naked eye, was struck by a fist that had broken through the void, creating a deep dent.

This scene caused Skyreach Ghost's expression to change, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"A True Artifact!"

The silver-white gauntlet was actually a weapon of the True Artifact level!

At this moment, he dared not stand still and directly receive the opponent's attack. His body flew backward.

Wang Yuan smashed the flying sword with a punch and closely followed up with another.

In this instant, his aura erupted, and he consecutively used the Explosive Step, moving so fast that he was almost on par with a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The distance between the two was rapidly closing.

Skyreach Ghost's face turned pale, and he abruptly released his Nascent Soul Domain.

However, the power of the domain couldn't suppress Wang Yuan at all.

At this moment, Skyreach Ghost felt he had been tricked.

The spiritual veins in the Taihu Domain had collapsed, causing the spiritual energy to disperse. How could a Nascent Soul Cultivator easily gather their Nascent Soul Domain?

Moreover, this enemy excelled in body refinement, and there was hardly any mana in his body, so how could he be affected by the suppression of the world's spiritual energy?

"What a Pill Sage!"

Skyreach Ghost silently cursed Luo Chen's choice of battlefield as he launched an attack from mid-air.

The flying sword transformed into ten, and then those ten became a hundred, forming countless sword lights that shot towards Wang Yuan.

Not only that, but two more magic treasures flew out from his hands.

A round disc spun, and a bell rang.

One restricted the physical body, while the other confused the mind.

Wang Yuan's movements visibly slowed down, and the sword struck his body, emitting a clanging sound.

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard.

"Open!"

The disc flew back, and Wang Yuan's body began to expand, revealing a three-zhang-tall small giant.

He opened his mouth and roared, emitting a rumbling thunderous sound that suppressed the bell's ringing.

His ten fingers struck out, and blood-colored gales sprayed like rain.

After breaking through the countless sword lights, the giant stepped with the Moon Step, and his body seemed to have a hint of ethereal and elusive intent.

At this moment, Skyreach Ghost's Divine Sense struggled to keep up.

"No good, this person is too fast, and his will is firm. He's not affected by my soul illusion technique at all. I must first immobilize him."

Skyreach Ghost gritted his teeth, extended his right hand, and lifted it upwards.

A large seal flew out, then expanded and grew to a hundred zhang tall, pressing down on Wang Yuan.

The terrifying suppression force instantly sealed the space.

Just then, Wang Yuan coldly laughed, unafraid, and charged straight towards the large seal.

"Break!"

One punch!

The main body of the large seal trembled.

Wang Yuan retracted his hand, and his aura erupted as he threw out three more punches.

"Break!"

"Break!"

"Break!"

This time, the result was completely different.

The three moves he had learned from Luo Chen's Mountain-Breaking Style drove his domineering aura to its peak, concentrating its power into a single point, along with the Thunderclap Gauntlets.

A loud boom was heard.

Boom!

To everyone's shock, the large seal was shattered into pieces.

Wang Yuan burst out and soared into the Nine Heavens.

With his magic treasure destroyed, Skyreach Ghost suffered backlash, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, feeling quite resentful.

If the True Artifact of Skyreach Cliff was still here, how dare Wang Yuan be so reckless?

Oh well!

To defeat this person, I must endure with my profound mana and outlast him.

He waved his hand, and the flying sword gracefully returned to his grasp, then soared towards the Nine Heavens.

But the next moment, Skyreach Ghost's expression changed dramatically.

Above the Nine Heavens, a majestic mountain, like a meteorite, descended with a thunderous rumble.

"It's my Skyreach Cliff!"

The unfamiliar mountain body emitted a familiar aura, causing him to exclaim.

However, when he tried to control it with his Divine Sense, there was no response.

Terrified, he pushed the shield to its limit, blocking it above his head.

Not only that, but he pinched a spell formula, and his robe moved automatically, enveloping him in a yellow aura.

Boom!

The shield magic treasure shattered upon impact.

The mountain pressed down, and even with the yellow aura protecting his body, Skyreach Ghost was still crushed, falling to the ground amidst his furious roars.

Wang Yuan stood atop the mountain, stomping his foot.

Boom!

The immense pressure returned, shaking the yellow aura again, and Skyreach Ghost's face turned red.

Wang Yuan sensed this, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Back then, you used Skyreach Cliff to suppress me. Now, I use Sky-Building Mountain to suppress you. The initiator of the scheme will suffer its consequences!

He stomped again, and the Divine Aura Combat Qi flowed through his body into Sky-Building Mountain.

Boom!

Skyreach Ghost's pupils dilated, and his protective robe suddenly shattered, revealing his withered, frail body.

The yellow aura grew weaker.

It seemed that with one more kick, it would shatter.

Without hesitation, he roared, "I concede!"

Wang Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard and took another step.

Boom!

Whoosh...

The gales stirred, and the yellow aura collapsed and shattered.

A large cloud of blood mist sprayed over the parched yellow earth.

A flying light shot out, crossing a hundred li, escaping the suppression of Sky-Building Mountain.

The baby-faced man's expression turned venomous, and he pinched a spell formula, glaring at Wang Yuan.

"I'll make you pay with your life!"

Wang Yuan rose into the air, waved his hand, and Sky-Building Mountain rapidly shrank, falling into his grasp.

"If I can destroy your body once, I can kill your Nascent Soul once!"

He stretched out his right hand from afar, his fingers flexing, ready to grasp.

The Nascent Soul little man's expression changed, feeling blood threads appearing on his body. His eyes widened in terror.

Just then, a force of mana enveloped the Nascent Soul.

Wang Yuan clenched his fist, unleashing the gales, but there was no reaction.

His face filled with anger, and he looked towards the distance.

Shen Yuan Zhen Ren waved his hand, and Skyreach Ghost's Nascent Soul flew back to his side.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.

"This first battle, I declare Luo Tian Sect the winner!"

His words fell, and the crowd fell silent.
