Chapter 702 Immortal, Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal!
It wasn't that he hadn't seen immortals. As his cultivation grew and with the fragments of information he had pieced together, he was almost certain that the person he had encountered on the Immortal Mountain in Martial Emperor City was an immortal.
Moro was the second, and the old Celestial Master of Wudang Mountain was the third. The number wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. However, the first time he truly witnessed an immortal's power was in Liangzhou City.
He had always remembered that battle.
He also understood a phrase:
Below Immortals, all are ants!
No matter if you are a mighty异姓王 (yì xìng wáng, a king with a different surname) who shakes the world or a peerless 天骄 (tiān jiāo, genius) who dominates an era, you are no match for an immortal, because you are not on the same level of existence.
Immortals have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years or even longer.
They possess the true power to move mountains and overturn seas.
He was well aware of his own capabilities. With his strength, he could be considered among the top figures in the world, but he was no match for an immortal.
Only immortals can deal with immortals!
Therefore, the moment that terrifying pressure descended, Chen Yuan had already made a decision: to awaken the sleeping Moro. Thus, he was not in despair.
Perhaps awakening Moro would severely injure him, but that was better than him and Jiang He dying here.
As long as there was a chance, he could recover.
But life is only one.
Even a powerful figure like the Hall Master of Seven Killings Hall didn't dare to face the immortal's power head-on and chose to flee.
His second uncle stayed behind, seemingly wanting to weather the storm with him.
However, his nephew was not as simple as he appeared.
He was even prepared to merge the Asura True Lord and the Qilin Demon True Lord, even revealing his true form. But... to his surprise, and to the surprise of most present, there was a terrifying expert hidden nearby.
Just as he was about to awaken Moro, that expert made his move!
The changes in the world astonished almost everyone. From the distant Liangshan Island, an extremely powerful aura suddenly soared.
The powerful pressure caused even the Great Jin Dynasty's national fortune in the void to slow down, and the immortal's means seemed... to be the same.
Xiang Qianqiu had made his move!
He had been prepared for this, or rather, wary...
The Xiang family was not simple. Many people didn't remember, but he believed the Sima family certainly did. How could four True Lords join forces to destroy them?
Even if they could, how many of those four True Lords would remain?
Therefore, from the moment Song Lun revealed the secret, he had realized this. Just then, Chen Yuan acted without hesitation. He intended to conceal his strength unless absolutely necessary to avoid causing other troubles.
However, the immortal's means had finally appeared.
He knew his son was not simple. In just a few years, he had surpassed his predecessors, reached the realm known as True Lord, and even joined the mysterious Dao God Palace. But... he didn't believe Chen Yuan had the power to resist an immortal.
He had to act!
Because Chen Yuan couldn't die yet.
Not because he had deep affection for his son, but because he couldn't die yet. His preparations were not complete, and Chen Yuan was a key part of it.
It concerned the revival of Great Chu and his ability to break the shackles and follow the path of the Great Ancestor.
So, he acted without hesitation.
Since the court already knew Liangshan was supported by the Xiang family, he would make the court even more wary. If things became impossible, he had only one choice!
"Who!"
Sima Che was shocked and felt a sense of foreboding.
How could there be such a powerful aura?
It could even affect his prepared immortal's means and the Great Jin Dynasty's national fortune!
He wanted to say it was impossible, but the truth was right in front of him.
Seeing someone else make a move, Chen Yuan immediately stopped trying to communicate with the sleeping Moro within the Imperial Slaughtering Saber. Someone else acting was a good thing.
He could avoid awakening Moro and potentially causing unforeseen consequences.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yuan roared:
"Retreat!"
This was directed at both Jiang He and his second uncle, Chen Huaiyi. He didn't want anything to happen to them.
Fortunately, Jiang He and his uncle weren't fools and didn't freeze in place. The moment Chen Yuan shouted, they quickly fled into the distance.
With this retreat, Chen Yuan moved more than ten miles away.
Only by increasing the distance could he reduce his sense of unease.
As for the onlookers and the remaining warriors of Liangshan, they desperately fled as well. Most of them had already disappeared.
They could observe True Lord battles from a distance, but the legendary Immortal battle was out of the question.
A single clash could affect dozens of miles.
In a flash, Chen Yuan and Jiang He retreated together, and his second uncle, Chen Huaiyi, retreated to the side of the Hall Master of Seven Killings Hall. However, the Hall Master seemed to have some doubts and glanced deeply at Chu Jiang Wang, but didn't say anything.
Of course, Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu were not fools either. When the void changed color, they had already retreated to a safe area and prepared to escape.
As for the other Yama Kings and the Transformation Yang stage warriors of Liangshan, they had also stopped fighting and retreated to safe areas.
Oh... and Lu Guangsheng.
This guy even burned his blood essence, and his speed was no less than Chen Yuan's.
The only one close to the center was Sima Che.
He was shrouded in a light, like the national fortune, or perhaps the immortal's means, which could block most of the aftershocks. After all, these means were closely related to him.
These events seemed slow, but they all happened in an instant.
After the soaring aura swept across the heavens, a shadowy figure in black robes stepped out from Liangshan's isolated island. Each step seemed to land on a key node, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the main battlefield where they had clashed before.
The figure was shrouded in a hazy light, like Dao essence. Even True Lord experts couldn't see clearly at this moment, which was shocking. However, Chen Yuan thought that since this person could withstand that absolute pressure, he was likely at that level. He seemed to want to conceal his identity and deliberately disguised himself.
"Who are you?"
Sima Che stared at the black-clad man in the distance, a dangerous feeling rising in his heart.
"Aren't you looking for me?"
Xiang Qianqiu's voice was mysterious, heavy yet ethereal, as if dozens or hundreds of people were speaking together, and echoes reverberated through the heavens and earth.
In his hand, he held a spear that exuded extreme terror, like a divine pillar, filled with endless killing intent.
"Godslaying Spear!" (Shì Shén Qiāng)
When Sima Che saw the spear in the man's hand, his heart jolted in shock. The Sima family was very familiar with this spear.
He still remembered it clearly.
Because this spear, or rather, immortal weapon, was once used by the Chu Great Ancestor, who swept across the world. It was said that more than one immortal and demon god had fallen beneath this weapon.
That was why it was named the Godslaying Spear.
In terms of power, besides the Martial Emperor's weapon that once paved the way for the human race, this spear could be called the number one weapon in the world, a true treasure of slaughter!
The identity of someone who could wield the Godslaying Spear was self-evident.
The former crown prince of Chu, the current patriarch of the Xiang family... Xiang Qianqiu!
He was extremely shocked because the court had judged that Xiang Qianqiu's strength was, at best, only in the top ten of the Supreme List. It was the Xiang family's foundation that made him feared.
But judging by the aura he exuded, he was infinitely close to the Sixth Realm.
Self-contained realm, Hunyuan (Primordial Chaos) perfection!
The Xiang family's talent... was too terrifying. No wonder they possessed the bloodline of the Martial God.
"You're courting death!"
Sima Che was both shocked and angry, and couldn't help but roar.
"Noisy!"
Xiang Qianqiu's eyes narrowed, and he pointed the Godslaying Spear forward. Instantly, the void twisted, and the ultimate killing force swept across the sky.
"Great Ancestor!"
Sima Che roared, quickly retreating, pointing his fingers at his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood, which turned into mysterious runes that merged into the void.
Originally, he had thought that an immortal's strike would be enough to kill two True Lords from the Dao God Palace, but against Xiang Qianqiu, he couldn't. He could only use his own blood essence to activate the strange treasure left by the Great Ancestor and awaken the means he had left behind.
Only then could he kill Xiang Qianqiu.
As long as he killed him, the Xiang family would probably be nothing to fear.
The moment the runes merged into the void, a lightning bolt as thick as a zhang (about 10 feet) fell instantly, shattering the point of cold light from the Godslaying Spear. Then, the national fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty gathered in the void and rolled wildly.
The divine spear locked onto Xiang Qianqiu and fell with a bang.
The heavens and earth were filled with extreme pressure. The huge lake below instantly collapsed, and the void twisted. Even those who were watching from more than ten miles away were horrified.
The immortal's means were terrifying!
But Xiang Qianqiu remained unfazed, as if he had expected this. He said calmly:
"Then I will test the means of you old ghost!"
The next moment, Xiang Qianqiu went against the trend, holding the Godslaying Spear, shrouded in a mysterious power of rules, and fought against it.
"Boom!"
An unprecedented terrifying roar made even those who were tens of miles away cover their ears and feel a rumble in their minds.
The entire world seemed to be collapsing, crumbling inch by inch.
Liangshan was instantly razed to the ground, all buildings were completely destroyed, and the lake below turned into a vacuum in this attack. The light emitted from the terrifying center of the battle even overshadowed the sun at this moment.
Terrifying! Extremely terrifying!
Xiang Qianqiu's battle power was fully unleashed, and he was like an immortal, relying on the Godslaying Spear!
It was completely different from when he was fighting for the dragon vein energy in the Northern Barbarian Ancient Golden Court.
As for Chen Yuan, who was watching the battle, his pupils shrank, and he was shocked by the existence who directly faced the immortal's attack.
This... was probably close to an immortal?!
He had personally endured such a powerful force before and knew how terrifying it was. The power of all living beings, plus the power of many strong people poured into him, summoned the remnant of the True Martial Emperor, and shattered the body of the Barbarian God.
As a price, he had almost died!
But this person relied on himself...
"That spear... is not simple!"
Suddenly, Jiang He said in a deep voice.
"An immortal weapon?"
"It's not just an ordinary immortal weapon." Jiang He frowned and commented.
"I didn't expect there to be such a terrifying person in the world. I'm afraid... even Ye Xiangnan, who is known as the second best in the world, is no match for him. Who is he?"
Jiang He murmured in a low voice.
Chen Yuan's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
But he felt it was unlikely, and his eyes flickered.
As the aftershocks dissipated, the divine spear in the void was shattered and turned into nothingness. No... to be precise, it seemed that it was originally a void that had been condensed.
As for the black-clad figure, he retreated thousands of feet and hovered in the void.
The corners of Xiang Qianqiu's mouth were stained with a trace of red. He reached out and gently wiped it away, his eyes full of madness as he murmured:
"A remaining treasure is so terrifying, and it takes all my strength to contend with it. It's really not simple... but that's all there is to it...
Heh, although it's not the true body, it's probably seven or eight tenths of the old ghost's former strength. It seems... the saying that immortals are invincible is not an iron rule. How many years has it been?
I haven't truly made a move yet. Today... I'll test my limits."
No one heard his murmurs, because everyone was still unable to extricate themselves from the shock.
Chen Huaiyi, who was watching from afar, seemed to recognize who this person was. Hate and killing intent flashed in his eyes, but there was also a hint of despair, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
The Xiang family... was too terrifying.
The Hall Master of Seven Killings Hall had a gloomy expression and was also shocked on the spot. He had experienced Xiang Qianqiu's methods, but today he truly saw what terror was.
Below immortals, no one was his opponent.
As for above immortals... he didn't dare to make a judgement at this moment.
Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu were even more frozen on the spot, and didn't say anything for a long time.
If you had to use one word to describe it, it would be shock!
Sima Che shouted in his heart:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
However, no matter how impossible it was, the truth was right in front of him. Xiang Qianqiu, relying on the Godslaying Spear, was actually able to block an immortal's attack, and it seemed that he was unscathed.
This... subverted their understanding. Xiang Qianqiu's long hair danced wildly, ignoring everyone present, and just looked up at the changes in the void, in the rolling sea of national fortune.
A figure loomed.
This was the real trump card that the old ghost Sima left for the Sima family before he fell asleep.
Divine patterns almost identical to those that had appeared on Chen Yuan's face crawled all over Xiang Qianqiu's face, and a pair of eyes emanated a faint light.
Double pupils!
His aura soared again.
The next moment, without any further words, Xiang Qianqiu moved again in front of everyone, turning into a stream of light and rushing directly into the national fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty to fight with that looming figure.
Defying the heavens... slaying an immortal!
Dao after dao of divine light illuminated the heavens and earth, and the rolling national fortune surged endlessly.
Dao after dao of mysterious rule power spread throughout the heavens and earth, and dao after dao of roars were like the destruction of the world.
It was like the roar of the Great Dao, like a true immortal descending!
Regardless of whether they recognized that this person was Xiang Qianqiu or not, they were all shocked on the spot. Gu Tianqiong and the Hall Master of Seven Killings Hall, these two peerless True Lords, were silent.
This had already exceeded the limit of True Lords.
How did he do it?
Now, there was only one question in their minds.
Below immortals, could he really unleash the power to slay an immortal?
The thing in the void was clearly not a true immortal, but judging by the extent of the battle, it was probably not far off.
Some people were even thinking that if Song Lun were resurrected, would he have the courage to betray the Xiang family and Xiang Qianqiu if he saw this scene?
"This is the limit below immortals."
Jiang He said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Chen Yuan agreed.
To be able to defy the heavens and slay an immortal was definitely the limit.
"The Yang God cultivation has reached its peak, the divine power and physical body have reached their peak, the state of mind is complete, the artistic conception is complete, he has touched the Dao Realm, and he is holding an extremely terrifying immortal weapon..."
Jiang He said as he shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh.
"A true man... should be like this!"
Flames of desire flickered in Chen Yuan's eyes.
One day, he would become stronger than this person!
The terror in the void continued. The fluctuations had overshadowed the bright sun, like immortals and gods colliding in myths, with divine brilliance filling the sky and rules roaring.
Far away, in the secret realm of the Seven Killings Hall.
In a deep abyss that was respected as a forbidden area by the Seven Killings Hall, a gentle breeze stirred here. Among the chains, an ancient bronze coffin suddenly trembled.
As if sensing something, faint mysterious patterns lit up slightly, connecting to the power of the entire secret realm.
Before Liangshan, although the battle here only affected about a hundred miles, the movement could be clearly felt even hundreds of miles away. Many martial artists who had achieved some success felt the ground shaking and couldn't help but look in the direction of Liangshan.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour had passed.
Sima Che, who had originally wanted to kill Xiang Qianqiu, suddenly changed his face. His originally rosy and radiant face began to wither and become somewhat gaunt.
"Boom!"
Another roar, far exceeding the previous one, exploded, and the entire world seemed to be silent.
The previously turbulent imperial dynasty's national fortune was rapidly dissipating, and the previous endless brilliance began to dim. The terrifying battle seemed... to have ended.
"Is it over?"
Jiang He raised his head and looked at the void.
Chen Yuan also looked up and saw the void that was returning to calm.
"Who won and who lost?"
The two looked at each other, their faces suspicious.
Was it defying the heavens and slaying an immortal, or was it ruthless suppression?
At this time, Sima Che spat out a mouthful of old blood and roared:
"Go! Quick!"
After saying that, without waiting for Li Kuangxiu and Gu Tianqiong, he instantly lit up the newly arranged teleportation array and quickly turned into a stream of light and entered.
Li Kuangxiu and Gu Tianqiong were half a beat slower, but they weren't fools either. After knowing the outcome, they didn't hesitate to merge into the void and begin to flee.
But sometimes, you can't just leave when you want to, or come when you want to.
In the void where the battle had taken place, an extremely dazzling light suddenly bloomed, and in an instant, it split into two and merged into the void, seeming to want to completely leave them behind!
