Chapter 288.3: The Heaven and Earth Form Shows Its Divine Might! Lu Changsheng Subdues the Spirit Relic and Crushes Deity Transformation Cultivators! (III)

"Who dares wreak havoc at the Kunyu Immortal Sect?!"

"How long has it been since anyone dared attack the Kunyu Immortal Sect's mountain gate? Who's this madman?"

"Activate the mountain-protecting formation and kill him!"

Every one of the Deity Transformation grand elders were furious.

However, when the sect master spotted the figure standing outside the mountain gate, he felt a jolt going through his whole body.

"You... Lu Changsheng of Divine Sword Manor?!"

The grand elders of the Supreme Sky Sect had already passed him an image of Lu Changsheng through divine sense, but this was the first time the master of the Kunyu Immortal Sect actually laid eyes on Lu Changsheng. In any case, he would have recognized him as a martial artist of Divine Sword Manor from the absence of mana fluctuations coming from him.

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you know me? So you must be the master of the Kunyu Immortal Sect. Just so you know, I've killed off that Tiangang guy, and now I'm about to trample on your sect and sever your lineage!"

Naturally, his words enraged the Deity Transformation grand elders. After all, they had never heard of Divine Sword Manor, much less of Lu Changsheng himself. These were the elders who had spent years in seclusion. Only some of the better-informed disciples might have known something about the manor or Lu Changsheng.

In any case, they were all about to find out just who Lu Changsheng was.

Lu Changsheng could not be bothered with any more idle talk. He did not even feel like making a move himself.

Buzz!

As Lu Changsheng waved his hand, a great seal emerged and expanded in size the moment it met the wind. It radiated a fearsome aura along with a black-and-white light, blotting out the sky within moments.

Then, Lu Changsheng crushed a large number of spirit stones and spirit crystals in his hand. Dense spiritual energy instantly poured into the great seal, and the phantoms of primordial divine mountains manifested upon it.

The sight left the cultivators of the Kunyu Immortal Sect stunned.

"Hey, is that a spirit relic? It looks so familiar... almost like our guardian treasure!"

"Looks like it...? Or is it actually our guardian treasure...?"

"What's going on? Why is our Mountain-Moving Seal there?!"

"There's no doubt about it!"

"How did the Mountain-Moving Seal end up in the hands of a martial artist?"

The disciples exchanged bewildered glances, unable to make sense of what they were seeing. The Mountain-Moving Seal had always been kept within the Kunyu Immortal Sect, and, as far as they knew, no one had ever taken it before. So how had it ended up in Lu Changsheng's hands?

The sect master's vision darkened, and he felt a sharp pang in his chest. There was no mistake about it. The spirit relic of the Kunyu Immortal Sect had fallen into Lu Changsheng's hands!

"Grand elders, you must reclaim our spirit relic! It's our Kunyu Immortal Sect's guardian treasure! We absolutely cannot lose it!"

The other Deity Transformation grand elders were somewhat startled. However, they had no time to ask why the Kunyu Immortal Sect's guardian treasure was in a stranger's hands. They understood that they could never let someone outside the sect claim the spirit relic, and they would do everything in their power to take it back.

Still, they seemed rather oblivious to the real danger. This man before them had just threatened to wipe out the entire lineage of the Kunyu Immortal Sect, yet the grand elders were more preoccupied with the spirit relic itself. But then again, the Kunyu Immortal Sect had been a holy land for a very long time. It was hardly surprising that the grand elders had grown complacent over time, their senses dulled by the prolonged prosperity.

Buzz!

As the Mountain-Moving Seal kept expanding in size, more primordial divine mountains manifested above it. Eleven, thirteen, fifteen... The artifact spirit activated all eighteen primordial divine mountains, invoking their full power.

Then, it slammed down hard.

Rumble!

The formation of the Kunyu Immortal Sect, which had stood solid for countless years, held out for only a few seconds before it shattered like an eggshell.

Crack!

"No! The mountain-protecting formation has been broken!"

"Venerable Spirit, it was our Kunyu Immortal Sect that always looked after you!

"A lineage and a legacy of countless years, all destroyed in a single day..."

"I never imagined our Kunyu Immortal Sect's lineage would be destroyed by the Venerable Spirit itself..."

Countless people stared with looks of despair.

Just like that, the formation of their sect had been destroyed with their own spirit relic. The outcome had been decided the moment the relic had fallen into enemy hands. Even if the Kunyu Immortal Sect was a holy land, how could it possibly withstand the full power of a spirit relic? Rather, without the spirit relic, was it even a holy land anymore?

Boom!

It wasn't just the large formation that collapsed. The entire Kunyu Immortal Sect was ground to dust in an instant. Not one of the countless disciples, even Nascent Soul cultivators and Deity Transformation grand elders, could get away.

Actually, some managed to survive the initial onslaught. After the Deity Transformation grand elders were crushed, their primal spirits attempted to escape. However, Lu Changsheng was one step ahead. He reached across the sky and caught the primal spirits in his hand. Then, with one gentle squeeze, he crushed them as well.

The Earthly Saints of Divine Sword Manor had only just arrived, yet their expressions were frozen as they stared at the carnage below. Nothing had remained of the Kunyu Immortal Sect. Lu Changsheng had erased them out of existence without even lifting a finger. It was the spirit relic that had done most of the work.

That was what a spirit relic was truly capable of. Were it not for Lu Changsheng, the spirit relic would have been their greatest ally in the Primal World. But given the recent turn of events, the spirit relic had become Lu Changsheng's accomplice and helped him erase the Kunyu Immortal Sect.

"Absolutely insane..."

"The spirit relic is obviously not weak. It's just that Fellow Daoist Lu is absurdly strong."

"This spirit relic would count as quite powerful even in the Immortal Martial World, yet Fellow Daoist Lu suppressed it with ease. At this point, not even invincible would do him justice."

"With such strength, it's only a matter of time until he becomes a Heavenly Saint."

The Earthly Saints of Divine Sword Manor were in awe as they finally understood just how powerful Lu Changsheng truly was. Even when he had suppressed the spirit relic, it had not quite sunk in for them. They had thought that perhaps the spirit relic was not as powerful as people claimed. However, that same relic had just wiped out the entire Kunyu Immortal Sect in the blink of an eye. Clearly, the relic was absurdly powerful.

And yet, Lu Changsheng had shut down that relic by himself and even made it do his bidding. That was infinitely more absurd than what the spirit relic itself was capable of.

"Not bad."

Lu Changsheng beckoned the Mountain-Moving Seal, and the seal shrank back down and obediently landed in his palm. He was satisfied with how the spirit relic had performed. Now, he could unleash power capable of shaking the heavens without so much as lifting a finger.

Quite the handy weapon...

The artifact spirit showed itself again. "Master, I'm not the only spirit relic in the Primal World. There are other holy lands, and lots of other spirit relics too. If you subdue those spirit relics, they could certainly help you with all sorts of things."

Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up. Indeed, there had to be other spirit relics out there. Even though he was not an immortal cultivator and had no mana, that did not actually stop him from using the relics. A spirit relic could be activated by its artifact spirit. All it needed was spirit stones or spirit crystals.

And I have no shortage of spirit stones or spirit crystals.

The Mountain-Moving seal had made a good suggestion. It would indeed be highly beneficial to gather a bunch of spirit relics and bring them back to serve as the foundation of a sect or a faction.

Had any of the Kunyu Immortal Sect's cultivators heard this, they would have been dumbfounded. Who could have imagined that a spirit relic, so high and mighty that even a holy land of the Immortal Dao had to make offerings to it, would turn traitor to its own kind?

The Mountain-Moving Seal was actually trying to help Lu Changsheng capture every spirit relic in the Primal World. No one would have imagined something so absurd, not even in their wildest dreams.
