Chapter 288.2: The Heaven and Earth Form Shows Its Divine Might! Lu Changsheng Subdues the Spirit Relic and Crushes Deity Transformation Cultivators! (II)

"Change."

With that, Lu Changsheng's Heaven and Earth Form sprouted countless arms, densely packed together.

The arms reached out to seize the Deity Transformation cultivators of the Supreme Sky Sect, and even Grand Elder Tiangang himself. Just like that, Lu Changsheng was going to take on more than a dozen cultivators at once, all by himself.

Rumble!

A violent collision followed as the Deity Transformation cultivators unleashed their most powerful techniques, enchanted treasures, spells, and even formation flags. They weren't just going to sit by and wait to die.

Unfortunately for them, their efforts were futile. Any kind of technique or tool had become useless the moment Lu Changsheng had unleashed his Heaven and Earth Form. Now, he had no need for intricate techniques or tricks. He could just obliterate everything in his path, simple as that.

Besides, if even the eighteen primordial divine mountains failed to stop Lu Changsheng in his tracks, what could a few Deity Transformation cultivators possibly do?

Soon, the violent tremors that seemed to blast even the sky apart gradually died down, until everything became still. In the end, Lu Changsheng had captured the Deity Transformation cultivators without any meaningful resistance. Even Grand Elder Tiangang, having lost the spirit relic, was powerless against his captor.

Faced with imminent death, Grand Elder Tiangang resorted to pleading. "Lu Changsheng, the Kunyu Immortal Sect holds no grudges against Divine Sword Manor. Clearly, we were just misled by the Supreme Sky Sect... You have made your point, so could you please let us go? Divine Sword Manor and the Kunyu Immortal Sect can coexist in peace, right? What do you say?"

"Coexist in peace?" Lu Changsheng snorted. "I don't think so. I'm afraid you've crossed the point of no return. You've made a move against us but failed in the end. Now, you must suffer the consequences.

"The question isn't whether we can coexist in peace, no. The question is whether the Kunyu Immortal Sect will still have a lineage after today. Let's hope your sect's defenses are sturdier than the Supreme Sky Sect's large formation!"

With that, Lu Changsheng squeezed his hands without the slightest hesitation.

Squelch!

Just like that, more than a dozen Deity Transformation cultivators were crushed to pieces.

"Good heavens..."

Even the Earthly Saints of Divine Sword Manor were shaken by the gruesome sight. Lu Changsheng had just executed more than a dozen Deity Transformation cultivators. He had crushed them in one move, not even allowing their primal spirits to escape. In other words, those cultivators were truly dead, gone for good! It was simply staggering.

Even back during his fight with the Supreme Sky Sect, when there were not as many Deity Transformation grand elders, he still would not have been able to unleash such carnage. Could someone with power like this still be called an Earthly Saint? Or perhaps this was what it meant to be invincible in the Earthly Saint Realm.

The Earthly Saints of Divine Sword Manor had never encountered another Earthly Saint officially recognized as invincible within their realm, so they could not say with certainty whether Lu Changsheng qualified. Regardless, one thing had become certain: Divine Sword Manor would never be in danger again—not with Lu Changsheng, the strongest being in all of the Primal World, on their side.

After finishing off the Deity Transformation cultivators, Lu Changsheng turned his gaze to the Mountain-Moving Seal.

This thing can expand or shrink in size at will. It also holds eighteen primordial divine mountains. Its power is truly extraordinary...

However, Lu Changsheng was not an immortal cultivator. He possessed no mana, and therefore, he could not use the Mountain-Moving Seal. In his hands, the spirit relic was nothing more than an ornament.

"It doesn't seem like there's much use in keeping you..."

The spirit relic's artifact spirit spoke up in a hurry. "Wait, what do you mean! I'm a spirit relic! How could I not be useful?"

"I have no mana..." Lu Changsheng replied, prompting the artifact spirit to answer at once.

"Oh, but it's no problem if you don't have mana! Spirit stones or spirit crystals will do! I'm a spirit relic with an artifact spirit, so with me in control, it doesn't matter whether a cultivator is wielding me or not. I can still bring out my full power! It just costs a lot to use me, that's all.

"But you don't look like someone who's short on spirit stones or spirit crystals, so what's a little extra cost? I'm really quite useful most of the time. At the very least, most Deity Transformation cultivators are no match for me..."

Clearly, the artifact spirit desperately wanted to survive, and so, it was trying its best to convince Lu Changsheng that it could be useful to him. After all, the artifact had witnessed those Deity Transformation cultivators get crushed like insects, and if Lu Changsheng saw no use in keeping the artifact around, he would dispose of it in a similar manner.

As such, the Mountain-Moving Seal had to be useful, very useful!

"Also, also...! My eighteen primordial divine mountains are amazing at breaking formations! You're going after the Kunyu Immortal Sect, right? I can help you break open their gate formation!"

"You can break their gate formation?"

Indeed, that would be quite useful. His Heaven and Earth Form would likely be able to break the Kunyu Immortal Sect's gate formation with no issues, but if the spirit relic could accomplish that as well, it would spare Lu Changsheng the trouble of doing it himself.

As for the artifact spirit running up a little extra cost to use the spirit relic, what did that matter? Lu Changsheng had an endless supply of spirit stones and spirit crystals at his disposal. He did not have to worry about the cost of using the spirit relic.

"Very well," said Lu Changsheng. "When we get to the Kunyu Immortal Sect, we'll see how you perform."

Then, he turned to the others. "Fellow Daoists of Divine Sword Manor, let's set out for the Kunyu Immortal Sect together. Once the Kunyu Immortal Sect has been trampled, nothing will stop the Flesh and Blood Martial Dao from spreading all across the Primal World. It's only a matter of time before the Martial Dao reaches the peak of the Earthly Saint level."

With that, Lu Changsheng took a single step forward and set off for the Kunyu Immortal Sect.

The rest of Divine Sword Manor's Earthly Saints followed at once. The Kunyu Immortal Sect was a holy land of the Immortal Dao, and Lu Changsheng was about to raze it to the ground! How could they possibly miss such a grand spectacle?

At the moment, inside the Kunyu Immortal Sect, the sect master was feeling somewhat uneasy. After all, Grand Elder Tiangang had taken the spirit relic to fight Divine Sword Manor. Normally, there shouldn't have been any problems. No matter how strong Divine Sword Manor was, it couldn't possibly stand against a spirit relic. The mere thought of that was absurd.

Still, the sect master couldn't help being a little worried. What if something unexpected happened along the way? What if the spirit relic were damaged? What then? Without the spirit relic safely within the sect, securing its future, the sect master could never fully set his mind at ease.

"They should've wiped out Divine Sword Manor by now..."

The sect master had been keeping track of the time. It had been more than enough time for Grand Elder Tiangang to wipe out Divine Sword Manor. After all, once unleashed, the spirit relic would sweep away everything in its path. There was simply no way anything could have gone wrong.

Just then, a disciple rushed. "Reporting in! Something terrible has happened! Grand Elder Tiangang's soul tablet just shattered..."

Hearing that, the sect master went pale, his eyes widening in shock. "What? Grand Elder Tiangang's soul tablet shattered? How is that possible?"

A soul tablet shattering could only mean one thing: death.

There was no mistake about it. Grand Elder Tiangang was truly gone. The fact that his soul tablet had shattered meant that even his primal spirit had been obliterated.

The sect master felt as though he had been struck by lightning. No matter how he thought about it, it made no sense that Grand Elder Tiangang, equipped with the spirit relic, could have fallen in battle.

Amidst the shock, another thought occurred to the sect master. If Grand Elder Tiangang himself had fallen, then what had become of the spirit relic, the guardian treasure of the Kunyu Immortal Sect? The spirit relic was more important than Grand Elder Tiangang. If the spirit relic was lost or damaged, the consequences would be far too terrible to imagine.

"The spirit relic... We can't allow anything to happen to the spirit relic! Quick, wake all the grand elders at once and—"

Rumble!

Suddenly, the entire Kunyu Immortal Sect shook violently. The sect master immediately sensed what was happening and was filled with rage.

"Our large formation...? Who dares attack our mountain-protecting formation?!'

He immediately flew out of the main hall and took to the skies. At the same time, the Deity Transformation grand elders emerged in quick succession.
