Chapter 1127: Chapter 91: A Fierce Clash
The situation is clearly improving.
With the addition of two Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Dragon Clan, there are now five immortals on the field, all of whom are of high realm and exceptional strength.
Despite Chen Guanshui having numerous methods, he shows signs of failing under the combined efforts of the five individuals.
He has already completed his feather transformation, only needing to reclaim consciousness to successfully ascend to Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal status, but he just can’t take that final step.
It should be noted that according to the Heavenly Dao’s plan, once Chen Guanshui ascends from the Heavenly Dome, protected by the Ascension Force with no turning back, is when his consciousness would fully recover, and he would truly ascend to Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal.
But now, blocked by these immortals who bully the weak, with two warring consciousness within him, it’s impossible to contend against seven immortal-ranked enemies with an untranscended human body.
The will of the Heavenly Dao doesn’t feel frustration; it simply plays its cards one by one until all are played and it accepts defeat. Similar to using Heavenly Tribulation to stop a cultivator’s ascension, it’s a sequence of tribulations; if you overcome them all… then you’re truly formidable.
Now that all sharp tactics have been exhausted, victory seems impossible. The rest of the techniques might work on ordinary cultivators, but when faced with a team of immortals, they’re less useful. Thus, it’s only natural to reveal the trump card for a last-ditch effort.
Chen Guanshui suddenly retreats rapidly, his hands beginning to gather the Thunder Light of the Taiji Thunder.
His left hand is shrouded in black qi, while white qi swirls around his right hand. The black and white qi burn like flames within his palms, extinguishing when they touch, twisting violently and bending the light, exuding a terrifying power that is difficult to resist.
“Retreat first!” Wan Xiang Immortal suddenly said.
The people from Penglai immediately turned their Sword Light around and started to flee.
The Kunlun Elders looked towards Chi Song Immortal, and seeing him nod slightly, they quickly followed Penglai in retreat.
Only the Shushan Peak Masters remained on the field. It’s not that they didn’t want to retreat, but they didn’t want to be the first to do so; after all, being the first to run would surely invite ridicule from fellow cultivators afterwards. The Shushan cultivators have always been full of aggression in their internal strife.
Someone glanced at Long Eyebrow Immortal, signaling him to issue an order to give everyone a way out.
Long Eyebrow Immortal was just about to speak when he saw Chen Guanshui suddenly clasp his hands together, the black and white qi swirling rapidly, transforming into a Thunder Ball nearly a hundred feet in diameter.
The Thunder Ball was neither black nor white, brewing with an atmosphere as if intending to destroy the world, and then suddenly exploded in all directions.
No time left!
The Shushan Peak Masters, not caring about being laughed at, turned and fled, merging with their swords.
Those who ran fast quickly dashed behind the Kunlun formation; those who were slower were almost pale faced by now.
Back atop Mount Emei, facing the terrifying sword Tai Yin Suming Sword that could split mountains and seemed to destroy the heavens, the fear seemed to descend upon them once more.
It’s over! We’re doomed!
Suddenly, another light lit up.
Amidst the overwhelming thunder, that light seemed like a white line brutally slicing into the black and white qi.
In an instant, thunder roared, the sea below swept by the shockwaves, fiercely pushed aside like mountains and hills overturned.
The Nascent Soul cultivators, whether they’d escaped far or not, were all startled by the thunder and then hit head-on by the engulfing sea water, soon falling into the sea, all soaking wet.
The Taiji Thunder continued to expand crazily outwards, and the returning sea water, meeting the Thunder Light, instantly vaporized among jumping electric snakes, then turned into a blazing high-temperature flame, fiercely spraying out within the black-and-white Thunder Light.
The several immortals present were momentarily speechless, stunned by the magnificent scene reminiscent of the world’s creation.
Ying Long, hardly able to continue attacking, urgently turned back to save his precious daughter observing from afar. Mad Dragon opened his true mouth, exhaling a breath he’d cultivated all his life, which was a deep green, nearly black, strange flame.
This breath contained Lesser Yin Qi. Though its rank was not as high as Tai Yin, it had the advantage of being released by an immortal rank, overwhelming with quantity. It managed to barely hold back the spread of the Thunder Light for a moment, but soon began to fall back.
How could the Three Pure Ones from the Orthodox Sect still hesitate? They immediately showcased their ultimate techniques, assisting the Mad Dragon in resisting the attack.
Wan Xiang Immortal retrieved his magical treasure, a jade-colored Liuli small tower, with nine dragons spitting pearls on top, which when thrown into the air grew a thousand feet high, spewing raging flames towards the Thunder Light at a rapid pace.
This fire was Samadhi True Fire, a highly-ranked flame, yet when faced with the black-and-white Thunder Light, it quickly disintegrated, only relying on a massive quantity to slow the Thunder Light’s spread.
Chi Song Immortal spit out Green Qi again, this time not forming it into an arrow, but transforming into vast expanses of deep green-gray Green Qi, sprawling forward like clouds.
The Green Qi met the Samadhi True Fire, which immediately expanded several times, finally no longer scattering at a touch, assisting the Mad Dragon’s breath in arduously resisting the Thunder Light.
Long Eyebrow Immortal was in a more awkward position. He’s used to employing the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Formation, capable against both single and multiple targets. However, facing the overwhelming black-and-white Thunder Light, he had no effective counter and could only use Dual Polarity Dust Sword Qi to forcefully cut it.
The Sword Qi sliced into the Thunder Light, cutting through several bolts of lightning before extinguishing—it had a tendency to fizzle out, but as long as the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Formation was intact, supplying enough True Yuan from the Long Eyebrow Immortal, the Sword Qi was born relentlessly, advancing forward to slay the Taiji Thunder Light in succession, a testament to their perseverance.
Suddenly, another ray of light emerged within the Thunder Light, as dazzling as a blazing sun and as intense as a nuclear helium flash, cleaving nearly a thousand miles of black and white Thunder Light, akin to Pangu exerting all his might to open the world, with the invisible chaos rapidly spreading from the middle to both sides.
Immediately after, the seawater below abruptly receded—at the instant the radiant light passed over, a massive amount of seawater evaporated instantly, forming a colossal void akin to a great chasm, which was then slowly filled by the surrounding sea.
And within that chasm, a figure was falling—it was Chen Guanshui.
His expression had lost its original numb rigidity, replaced with tightly closed eyes, seemingly enduring some kind of pain.
Looking at the three flowers on his head again, sure enough, they were gone!
On the road to the Heavenly Throne, the husband was finally dragged down!
Xu Yinglian charged out controlling her sword first; the Feather Jia Sword nearly formed a straight line, then vanished into flames, subsequently reappearing several hundred feet away, swiftly pursuing Chen Guanshui.
Following quickly was Shi Liuli, but aware of her weak magical competition ability, she didn’t intend to confront Xu Yinglian head-on, swiftly sending a secret message to the Wan Xiang Immortal:
“Immortal! Act now!”
Wan Xiang Immortal swiftly raised his hand, causing the falling Chen Guanshui to suddenly fly sideways, seemingly defying the laws of gravity, as he was affected by Wan Xiang Immortal’s Sleeve Universe.
Not flying for more than five breaths, his body suddenly halted, as Chi Song Immortal also employed the Sleeve Universe, catching his body.
They were longtime friends, and without needing to say much, they understood: the Heavenly Dao’s will had departed, and Chen Guanshui’s body seemed unlikely to recover anytime soon.
Therefore, whoever managed to take him back to the sect’s residence to care for and nurture him stood a good chance of winning the favor of this Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal, promising their sect a prosperous future for hundreds or even thousands of years!
Precisely because of this, they must contest over Chen Guanshui, and it was crucial!
Both used the Sleeve Universe, simultaneously pulling Chen Guanshui’s body from afar; ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to bear such forceful tearing, but thanks to him having become a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal, he barely withstood it, though the pain was evident between his brows.
Xu Yinglian flashed several times, swiftly arriving beside Chen Guanshui.
Seeing Dog Senior Brother with closed eyes, evidently without consciousness, she hurriedly reached out to grab him, only to suddenly flash away from the original spot again.
The next second, the Man-Sword Unity’s vast Sword Light tore through the air, rapidly sweeping past Chen Guanshui, even distorting the light with scorching heat, yet his body remained unscathed, not even his clothes were singed.
Shi Liuli coldly observed from afar, noticing An Zhisu chasing Xu Yinglian, yet never straying beyond a hundred feet from her husband, indicating she was simultaneously guarding against her.
A sleeve with copper coins shook loose, caught by her slender hand; her gaze swept over the hexagram, recognizing that now was not the time to strike – there were two more variables to enter the field next.
It’s not hard to guess: one is the great Heavenly Demon who had rushed into the Five Elements Divine Light earlier, and the other is the Demon Race cultivator who had slaughtered his way here previously.
Once these two forces entered the scene, creating utter chaos, it would be the best opportunity for Penglai to fish in troubled waters.
She returned to silent observation, witnessing Xu Yinglian having pushed the Fire Escape Nine Methods to the extreme, almost never pausing at any point, soon flashing away again.
Considering this method was the basic Divine Skill of the ancient Phoenix Clan, almost all Phoenixes knew it, one wonders how ancient human race cultivators countered this strategy.
Facing such frightful mobility, An Zhisu calmly adopted a strategy of endurance, rapidly circling Chen Guanshui within a smaller inner radius, guarding against Xu Yinglian’s sudden attacks.
Suddenly, Chen Guanshui’s body was flung out again—Wan Xiang Immortal had received Shi Liuli’s secret message and abandoned the pull on Chen Guanshui.
The Sleeve Universe technique severed, causing Chen Guanshui to fly towards Chi Song Immortal and the Kunlun faction, prompting An Zhisu to quickly adjust her Sword Light, while Xu Yinglian also dashed and flashed, both heading swiftly towards Chen Guanshui.
The Kunlun faction’s elders from the Xu Family were fully prepared with various means, ready to welcome the son-in-law while blocking other intruders.
However, almost simultaneously, numerous lines suddenly spawned out of thin air—it was the Long Eyebrow Immortal’s Dual Polarity Dust Sword Formation.
They locked around the Xu Family elders, swiftly slicing away.
Chi Song Immortal cursed inwardly upon seeing, forced to release the Sleeve Universe, tossing out a Magical Treasure to protect the Xu Family elders.
With his vast experience, he naturally realized the Long Eyebrow Immortal had held back, controlling the sword formation’s speed to a manageable level to prevent entry.
Yet utilizing the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Formation against Orthodox Sect colleagues undoubtedly touched Chi Song Immortal’s reverse scale.
After breaking the sword formation surrounding the Xu Family people, Chi Song Immortal suddenly spat out a small green arrow, aimed precisely at the Dual Polarity Dust Sword conjured by the Long Eyebrow Immortal!
