Chapter 2200.1: Slaying An Immortal
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Innumerable tiny rays of sword light formed as soon as the unknown speaker finished and shot at the trio. So this was a seventh rank sword formation!
Lu Yun sent Yu Shuai and Zhao Chenguang into the sword pagoda with a wave of his hand.
“A seventh rank sword formation? Show this young master how strong this formation of yours is!” Lu Yun no longer had any concerns after moving his friends to safety. He threw his head back with a howl and raised gusts of crimson sword qi.
He set foot into the void and shifted nine times in quick succession, leaving nine faint shadows in the air. Each of them lingered for a few moments before a crimson sword dragon darted out of it.
Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons!
Lu Yun deployed this move through the Nine Forms of the Cloud Dragon!
He didn’t hold back and sent nine out three-hundred-meter long crimson dragons. They threaded through the air, simultaneously twisting nine times in unison and forming the one hundred and sixty-two momentum of the Cerulean Sword Dragons. As each momentum ripped into the seventh rank formation, it elicited earth-shaking vibrations.
Pfft!
Of the thirteen cultivators in the air, the twelve soul projection uniformly spat out blood. One of them yelled with astonishment, “How is this possible?? Each of his attacks perfectly strike an eye of the formation! Is he also a formation grandmaster?”
Rumble!
The nine sword dragons came together as one and rammed a certain part of the array. It happened to be where an initial soul projection cultivator stood. He suffered full recoil from the formation and fell from his position. With his true origin in disarray, his energy was swiftly devoured by the assembly.
The cultivator withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye until even his nascent soul flew apart into dust. With his death, pressure mounted on the other twelve eyes of the formation. The entire assembly teetered on the edge of losing control.
“What a bunch of idiots. Are twelve soul projection and one soul separation expert enough to keep thirty percent of this kind of formation under control?” Lu Yun found things much easier with one formation eye destroyed. He could reveal himself now, but incredible wounds crisscrossed his body when he came into view. His clothes were tattered like he was a beggar, but he roared with laughter.
The formation of talismans that Terra Demon had set up was active. Lu Yun used himself as bait to draw the true immortal’s attention and deployed his methods at full force in preparation for this moment.
The Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons were a premier technique that the Mindful Potentate used to dominate the world of immortals. The Nine Forms of the Cloud Dragon was also Slaughterless’ ultimate move from eight thousand years ago. Both of these immediately caught the immortal’s eye. Thus, he didn’t pay particular attention to the formation activating in the void.
In the next moment, the entire Yuwen residence vanished from Dark City. It relocated to the air over Tiger Suppression Pass in the west of the empire.
Crraaaaaack!
The complex spontaneously disassembled, leaving nearly one thousand Yuwen descendants standing blankly in the sky. Those who didn’t react in time fell straight to the ground.
The complex’s geographical shift dismantled the seventh rank formation, thereby freeing Lu Yun.
“So I fell for a brattish baby’s scheme!” The skinny true immortal shook his head, nary a flicker of emotion on his face. “But what can you do after moving me here?”
He looked around the surroundings, finding it devoid of people and qi. It was a good place to make his next move.
“The heavenly book can suppress you, but not kill you.” Terra Demon materialized next to Lu Yun.
“It’s you.” The true immortal wasn’t surprised by Terra Demon, as if he knew the man. “You’re a soul projection cultivator with nearly the battle strength of an empyrean immortal… Wait, you’ve ascended to soul separation? No wonder.”
Surprise finally creased the immortal’s face.
“Aouu!” came a long croon. The Yuwen, Ling, and royal soul projection powerhouses felt a tremendous suction force around them before they flew out uncontrollably and landed in a massive bloody mouth.
The jiao’s three hundred meter long body also appeared in the void.
“The scaled-dragon from Jade Ice Lake…” Gravity finally crept into the immortal’s expression. “An empyrean immortal scaled-dragon, a soul separation cultivator with nearly the battle strength of an immortal… Are these the trump cards you’ve brought to bear against me?”
A smile developed on the man’s face. “There is an undeniable chasm between empyrean and true immortality…”
“This old guy talks too much, do it!” Lu Yun sighed with irritation when the immortal looked like he had more to say.
Whoosh!
Terra Demon had been just waiting for the word. A strangely shaped longsword appeared in his hand and he rushed for the true immortal. Hot on his heels, the gray jiao twisted itself around and sent currents of gray air rising into the sky. Its energy confined the void around them, upon which it raised its foreclaws to grab the true immortal.
Bam!
The true immortal also made his move. A beam of orange immortal light shimmered over his body to defend against the two attacks. He howled, covering himself with orange light and manifesting two hammers in his hands. As skinny as he was, his weapons were extremely formidable. They were two bright yellow hammers running almost two meters across and first rank immortal weapons!
BOOM!
The hammers caught Terra Demon’s next slash and threw the latter back.
“Kill!” The immortal’s eyes were shot through with blood. His immortal light undulated wildly, like he was a demon himself. His hammers howled madly through the air in a domineering fashion.
“Aouuu!” Unable to react in time, the gray jiao took a blow to its body and flew backward, smashing a mountain to pieces upon collision.
“Hahahaha!!” the immortal roared with laughter. “Heaven Shaker!”
Humm!
Brilliant light emanated from the two hammers and crashed toward Terra Demon like two miniature mountains.
“This guy’s only a half step august immortal.” Terra Demon immediately understood the truth of the matter when he saw the immortal’s aura. Regardless, he still wouldn’t be concerned even if the opponent was an august immortal.
Terra Demon threw away his sword and raised bare hands to the sky.
BOOM!
The massive weapons slammed into Terra Demon and drove him underground. However, he charged back up the next second and threw himself at the hammers again. Even the gray jiao crawled up from the ground and continued in a forward charge.
……
“These two!” Lu Yun chuckled ruefully when he read Terra Demon and the jiao’s actions. He dismissed the Forge of Heaven and Earth that he already held. The young man could tell what they wanted to do.
Although they’d refined the Hongmeng Fruit and digested its medicinal effects, they hadn’t absorbed one iota of the meaning of being an immortal overlord. The true immortal’s strength was helping them temper and process the meaning accumulated in their bodies.
In other words, as fierce as the immortal seemed and in complete control, he was just helping Terra Demon and the gray jiao further their cultivation.
The one thousand kilometers of Tiger Suppression Pass were leveled to completely flat land. Thankfully, nothing lived here. Wu Zhen and the others training had been recalled to form a brand new Vermilion Bird troop with Lu Xuan. They were in the field executing a mission to eliminate remnants of the Yuwen family.
The gray jiao and Terra Demon were having a tough time as their opponent was a peak true immortal powerhouse. While his attacks helped them forge the profound meaning in their bodies, the blows were solid hits to their bodies. It took only a dozen breaths before they were covered in blood.
The immortal in white robes also gradually felt that something was amiss. The two in front of him seemed to be continuously throwing themselves at him, but made no moves to fight back. While they were drenched in blood, they were still very energetic.
“This is very strange!” A keen light flashed through his eyes when he subconsciously glanced at Lu Yun hiding far away. He vanished on the spot as he made for the young man.
Rumble!!
A gigantic bolt of lightning flashed through the air and crashed into the true immortal’s head, blasting him into the ground. Gray tribulation clouds had appeared over him at some point in time. They’d now accumulated enough power to release a massive roar of thunder and lightning.
