Novel Full Chapter 928: The Power of a True Immortal
Mou Siming was unconcerned by Tang Jie’s attack, growling, “To think that you could break the precedent of the ages and kill an Immortal Platform expert while only at Violet Palace! Tang Jie, you really are a peerless genius. No wonder you were able to slaughter so many members of my sect in the court. But your gravest mistake is that you are too ambitious. Killing one is already a miracle, but you actually want to defeat five in a row! Tang Jie, how much more energy do you still have left to fight?”
Killing two Earth Immortals in a row had greatly exhausted Tang Jie. After all, he was facing people of a higher cultivation level, so his ordinary attacks were basically useless. The only things that worked were Dao Arts.
Of the eight Dao Arts that Tang Jie knew, he had used six: Skyrend Swordfall, the Ten Extinctions Blade, Law Speaking, the Dao Realm of Insight, Split-Second Youth, and Nearby Horizon. The only ones he hadn’t used yet were the Reflections of Floating Life and the Infinite Palace. He had used Skyrend Swordfall the most, so he had only enough Slaughter Dao power to use it five more times.
In such circumstances, even if he were taking on only one Immortal, he would find it hard to win. This wasn’t considering that Mou Siming was stronger than Jade Truth and that there were still two Earth Immortals after him.
Five Earth Immortals was really a little too much for Tang Jie to digest.
But he simply smiled. “If I can’t beat them, I’ll just think of something else. It’s not like I haven’t thought things through.”
As he spoke, he once more produced that mystical crystal ball.
Mou Siming immediately paled and hastily clawed at Tang Jie. A giant dragon emerged from his hand, roaring toward Tang Jie.
Tang Jie simply blinked away using Nearby Horizon. He pressed down on the crystal ball, upon which the world began to shake.
The earth trembled and the skies shuddered. Everything began to shatter and break apart as if the end of days had come.While the world crumbled away, an enormous torrent of energy thundered out of the heavens, surging toward Mou Siming with a world-destroying momentum.
“This is…” Mou Siming cried out in alarm. This energy was utterly enormous, even exceeding his own.
How could this be possible? Mou Siming knew that even if Tang Jie could defeat Immortals, this was because he had comprehended many Dao Arts and had nothing to do with his cultivation level. But this energy clearly came from an existence stronger than him!
Had Tang Jie really found a True Immortal to help him?
This was impossible. Such an obvious target would have been discovered by Flowing Wind’s Overflowing Heaven Mirror ages ago instead of remaining undetected until now. It was precisely because they were confident that there was no True Immortal that the five of them had gone in.
But this energy clearly belonged to a True Immortal, leaving Mou Siming utterly stunned.
A moment later, this power descended, rushing toward Mou Siming, but also toward Flowing Wind and the Flame Celestial Sovereign.
The three Earth Immortals sensed this approaching threat and flew into the air to meet it. The three Violet Palace experts wanted to follow, but then a pair of elegant hands, a seething flame, and a willow branch moved to intercept them.
“You should stay right here,” Xu Miaoran trilled.
The three Earth Immortals worked together to deal with that immense power. Even though Yiyi was no longer interfering, allowing them to fight together, alas, they had to put everything they had into fending off the terrifying power of a True Immortal.
Even three Earth Immortals had to do everything they could to hold it back.
“How could this be?” the Flame Celestial Sovereign roared. “How could he have this power?”
“Could there really be a True Immortal?” Flowing Wind wondered as he threw out his Genesis Cloud and glanced at the flashing Overflowing Heaven Mirror. Alas, he was disappointed, for the Overflowing Heaven Mirror found nothing.
“Then a formation?” Mou Siming shouted.
“No.” Flowing Wind shook his head.
A formation that could exhibit the power of a True Immortal had to be a High Antiquity supreme formation, and Flowing Wind was sure that Tang Jie wasn’t capable of this. Even if he had the ability, he wouldn’t have the resources.
The costs of laying down such a formation would not be small!
But this True Immortal energy hanging over the heads was all too real, and as the three of them held it back, they despaired.
The Flame Celestial Sovereign furiously said, “Tang Jie, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one! You’re no man if you hide behind a formation!”
Tang Jie casually replied, “Didn’t I already do that? Why is it that you think about dueling me the moment you end up in danger? If you’re actually willing to fight me one-on-one to the very end, I don’t mind, and it would save me the trouble of splitting you all up. However, you’re only willing to challenge me when you’re in danger. Such courage truly makes one want to laugh.”
The Flame Celestial Sovereign choked up in anger.
Suddenly, Flowing Wind froze in realization.
Yes, if Tang Jie had control over a True Immortal’s power, why had he fought them instead of using it from the start?
It would have let him utterly dominate them.
A True Immortal could easily suppress five Earth Immortals.
That Tang Jie had killed two before using it meant that there was a limit to this power.
Connecting the dots, Flowing Wind shouted, “It’s the estate! This is a True Immortal’s estate! He’s using this place’s remnant power to deal with us!”
“You finally understand,” Tang Jie chuckled.
The Five Origins Estate had been left behind by a True Immortal, so it naturally had preserved some of that Immortal’s power. This could be seen from the seal at the entrance.
However, the power left inside the estate was even stronger. It was just that it was scattered and buried throughout the estate.
But Tang Jie had discovered this energy and used a formation to gather it together to use against his enemies.
It was just that the True Immortal was not present, so like the Bejeweled Star Lord’s arm, it was a limited resource. Even so, at full force, it could certainly bring a lot of pain and suffering to the three Earth Immortals.
Once Flowing Wind revealed the truth, Mou Siming and the Flame Celestial Sovereign regained some confidence. Since there was a limit to this power, they would just outlast it.
The three of them began to expend all their strength against the True Immortal energy.
Facing their full force, this torrent of True Immortal power rapidly began to dry up.
Mou Siming laughed, “A fox borrowing the authority of a tiger is ultimately just an empty shell. Now that you’ve lost the tiger’s hide, let’s see what other tricks you have left!”
Tang Jie had been using this time to recover. He smiled and asked, “Is there still time for me to opt for a duel?”
The Flame Celestial Sovereign arrogantly laughed. “Tang Jie, you truly are a genius, capable of annihilating an Earth Immortal while at Violet Palace. But since you have this strength, we don’t need to waste any more time on you. Now that you have nothing left to back you up, hurry up and die!”
A wave of flames burned away the last of the True Immortal’s power.
Tang Jie sighed. “When did I say that I was relying on this True Immortal’s power? On the contrary, it’s been a constant pain in my side. I have to thank the three of you for getting rid of the last of the energy protecting this estate. Now, I can bring it into my Yellow Court World.”
As he spoke, there was a boom, and the entire estate began to shudder!
