Chapter 846 - 773: Rank Four Immortal

Chapter 846: Chapter 773: Rank Four Immortal

Du Jun’s actions greatly surprised Tu Xiao’an. Du Jun was nothing in his eyes, but he was still the leader of a City, a Third stage Peak War God. This was already the strongest combat power currently known to the world. Yet, the moment the man in ancient attire appeared, Du Jun instantly dropped to his knees, yielding with the utmost reverence and worship.

Tu Xiao’an’s heart skipped a beat as he wondered if this person could be a legendary Rank Four being. Yes, there was no mistake. He had to be Rank Four.

The appearance of the man in ancient attire gave Tu Xiao’an an instinctive, ominous feeling. His own disdainful aura was formlessly suppressed by this external power.

"Who are you?" Tu Xiao’an asked indifferently. The moment this person arrived, he had given him a blatant show of strength.

Having finished kneeling, Du Jun stood up, his face brimming with pride. He looked at Tu Xiao’an and said, "Lord Snake Emperor, allow me to introduce him. The man before you is Lord Xuanyuan Zhan from the Cultivation Divine Land of Kunlun Mountain. He underwent Ascension long ago and is a legendary Rank Four Divine Spirit!"

Rank Four Ascension Transformation meant completely shedding one’s mortal body. He was already an Immortal. It was only natural for Du Jun to kneel before him.

Sure enough, the first living Rank Four figure had appeared before Tu Xiao’an.

Kunlun Mountain, a Cultivation Divine Land? It was incredibly renowned, also known as the Kunlun Void. Hailed as the "Ancestor of All Mountains," it was the gathering place of Immortals in myths and legends. Could the legends be true? Did Immortals really emerge from Kunlun Mountain?

Tu Xiao’an stared at the man in ancient attire. This Xuanyuan Emperor from Kunlun Mountain possessed a formidable background, both in origin and surname. Xuanyuan was the surname of the Yellow Emperor, and the Xuanyuan Zhan before him was a Rank Four Divine Spirit—a truly heaven-defying figure.

Luo Ziyun had said the human officials would send their strongest military force, but the very first one to arrive was a Rank Four Divine Spirit. Tu Xiao’an realized he had been overly optimistic and had severely underestimated the power of humanity. With this Xuanyuan standing here, what would it matter even if he brought over every Demon King Level entity from the Yaoling Mountain Range? In the face of a Rank Four, those Demon Kings were no different from ordinary pets, possessing zero deterrent force. He had to admit, the humans had really gone all out this time.

After finishing his introduction, Du Jun saw Tu Xiao’an standing in a daze, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up. It seemed this snake was scared silly. Did he really think he could run rampant in human territory? Did he think humanity had no prestige? Just casually bringing out a big shot was enough to scare him to death.

"Snake Demon, return to your Yaoling Mountain Range. This is not a place you can stay," the man in ancient attire, Xuanyuan Zhan, said indifferently. However, his voice carried an undeniable tone of absolute authority.

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes flickered slightly. Did he think he could act all high and mighty just because he was Rank Four? The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cryptic smile. Immediately after, Tu Xiao’an took a slight step forward in midair, his entire body exuding powerful Demon Qi.

With a disdainful gaze, he said, "Xuanyuan Po from Kunlun Mountain, right? You want me to leave, but what if I simply refuse?"

"Lord Snake Emperor, you overstep! Is Lord Xuanyuan’s full name something you are allowed to utter?" Du Jun shouted angrily, acting very much like a sycophantic lapdog.

Did this snake have no self-awareness? Even if he was Lord Gong of the Yaoling Mountain Range, he was still just a Rank 3. Between Rank 3 and Rank Four, one was mortal, and the other was Immortal. This was a point he needed to get straight.

Du Jun was filled with worship for Xuanyuan Zhan. It was not just because the other party was a Rank Four Divine Spirit, but more importantly, because he was an Immortal from the Kunlun Void. As long as a human official’s Martial Cultivator cultivated to Rank Three Perfection, they could undergo Ascension, but the risks were far too high. However, if one could be arranged to enter the Cultivation grounds of Kunlun Mountain, the success rate of Ascension would increase by ten percent. Therefore, currying favor with the big shot before him was crucial.

"Are you playing the lapdog emboldened by your master?" Tu Xiao’an shot Du Jun a cold glance. Du Jun suddenly felt the temperature around him plummet.

Xuanyuan Zhan frowned. "Snake Demon, seeing as you have some decency and haven’t acted recklessly, this Immortal is leaving you some face. Don’t be ungrateful. Leave quickly."

"And what if I insist on staying?" Tu Xiao’an said with unparalleled coldness. He was absolutely determined to take his share of the Reincarnation Tree. The humans wanted to swallow it all for themselves? No way. Finding a Rank Four to scare him away? What a joke. Tu Xiao’an was truly not afraid of a mere Rank Four now, because he had his own trump cards in hand.

"Haha, truly worthy of being Lord Gong of the Yaoling Mountain Range. You have some guts." Xuanyuan Zhan wasn’t angry. He then said casually, "If you can withstand a single move from this Immortal, I will let you stay here."

"Idiot, look at how inflated your ego is," Tu Xiao’an cursed inwardly. Aloud, he said coldly, "If you want to fight, this Snake Emperor will oblige. Cut the crap."

Xuanyuan Zhan shook his head, his face full of arrogant superiority. "Attacking a mere Rank 3 like you is already me bullying you. This Immortal will only use one move. If you can take it, it proves you have some skill."

Tu Xiao’an fell silent, staring at him without uttering a word. He wanted to see just how strong a legendary Rank Four truly was to make Xuanyuan Zhan so conceited.

"Snake Demon, are you ready?"

Tu Xiao’an cast a sidelong glance at him, remaining completely unfazed.

"Heh..." Xuanyuan Zhan chuckled nonchalantly and prepared to strike. Before making his move, he glanced at Du Jun.

Du Jun understood. He quickly retreated into the distance and shouted at the Martial Cultivators, "If you don’t want to die, get far away! Hurry!"

Ever since Du Jun introduced the Immortal’s identity, those Martial Cultivators had been acting like adoring fanboys. Now, they immediately retreated like a receding tide. An Immortal taking action was no trivial matter; they didn’t even have the qualifications to watch.

"Snake Demon, this Immortal is well aware of your origins. It is said that you transcended the Seventy Two Celestial Tribulations to prove your Dao, forcibly twisting the will of heaven to succeed." Xuanyuan Zhan’s voice was now ethereal, transmitting a vast and righteous divine might. "Today, this Immortal shall bestow a bolt of lightning upon you, to see if you can withstand it."

Tu Xiao’an said impatiently, "Just make your move. What the hell are you blabbering about?" Did a Rank Four Immortal really have to spout so much nonsense?

"With such a lack of composure, how can you act as the Emperor of the Yaoling Mountain Range? It seems the Demon Race is becoming increasingly degenerate." Xuanyuan Zhan shook his head in disappointment. Immediately after, he merely waved his hand lightly at Tu Xiao’an, and a surge of Immortal Qi seemed to overflow.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the space above Tu Xiao’an was instantly covered in dense Thunder. Rolling Celestial Thunder roared as an endless Thunder Sea condensed into existence. Terrifying Thunder anomalies erupted everywhere. This scene triggered cries of alarm from the Martial Cultivators in the distance. An Immortal’s strike was unexpectedly more terrifying than the anomalies of a Celestial Tribulation!

Tu Xiao’an slightly raised his chin, looking at the endless Thunder Sea above his head with a very strange expression on his face. "You bastard, do you call this a single move?" he thought.

Furthermore, Tu Xiao’an could tell that the opponent’s Thunder was extraordinary. What he grasped was definitely not the Power of Thunder Element. It was likely the Power of Thunder Law. For an existence that could reach Rank Four, especially one from the mythical Kunlun Void, no method they used would be surprising.

CRACK!

Right at this moment, within the endless Thunder Sea, a Thunder Spear appeared out of thin air. It pierced through the void and thrust straight down toward Tu Xiao’an’s head, seemingly aiming for a fatal, one-hit kill. With this thrust, the anomalies of the endless Thunder Sea were instantly poured into the Thunder Spear. The spear swelled to an absurd, terrifyingly peerless size.

"Master, what the opponent is using is precisely the Thunder Law Power. It is no trivial matter. Xiaoyang has also mastered the Power of Laws, so let me take this strike," the voice of the Artifact Spirit Xiaoyang rang out.

"There’s no need."

Tu Xiao’an refused flat out, his eyes flashing with brilliant essence. He simply allowed the incomparably massive Thunder Spear to thrust straight down at his head as the entire space instantly collapsed around him.
