Chapter 368: Chapter 343: Immortal Descends_1
"The Mansion of King Ming again."
The giant snake spoke human words, its eyes fierce with coldness.
"Immortal Lord, let me infiltrate Lingdong and bring back his head for the Purple Wing Immortal Ruins," a multicoloured big snake, over a hundred meters long, swam up. Of course, it was much smaller than the monstrous snake coiling around the mountain.
They got a round pearl from the Tongtian relics. It used to be the treasure of the Tongtian Immortal Ruins. The pearl had been used in rotation by the nine major Immortal Ruins, and it had helped many ’immortals’ break free of their chains, allowing them to freely enter and exit the Immortal Ruins.
This multicoloured big snake was one of them.
The giant snake shook its huge head and said, "Cailin, you are equivalent to a third-level Primordial Spirit. Besides, you were suppressed for many years and have only recently recovered. Your strength at the peak is yet to come. According to the news from the Purple Wing Immortal Ruins, that Lu Yan can fight a Primordial Spirit Realm adversary even in the True Body Realm. He is indeed a rarely seen talent. If he has already broken the Primordial Spirit Realm, you may not be his match. To be on the safe side, I will send Chilin with you. Additionally, inform the Purple Wing Immortal Ruins to send masters to assist you."
"Yes, Immortal Lord."
The colorful big snake nodded.
....
One by one, the Soul Crystals were refined by Lu Yan, transformed into Soul Power, strengthening Lu Yan’s soul strength, and getting closer to the second level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
But his soul was too powerful, comparable to the fourth level of the Primordial Spirit turned Divinity Transformation. Thus, the energy he needed to upgrade to the second level of the Primordial Spirit Realm was colossal.
This was like other people trying to improve from the fourth level to the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
How many fifth-level Primordial Spirits exist in the world?
Days passed by.
One day, while Lu Yan was cultivating, he abruptly stopped, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Just a moment ago, he sensed that someone had tried to explore him with their spiritual perception.
In the whole of Lingdong, besides him and Zuo Yun, there were no others who had the Primordial Spirit.
Furthermore, Zuo Yun wouldn’t dare to inspect him so blatantly using spiritual perception.
There was only one possibility. Other Primordial Spirits had arrived in Lingdong.
Immediately, Lu Yan released his spiritual perception and followed the trail of the other party’s spiritual perception.
Clearly, Lu Yan’s spiritual perception was much stronger than the other party, who hadn’t realized that they were being followed by Lu Yan.
In the forests twenty miles to the west of Lingdong City, two snakes, each over ten meters long, were coiled together, discussing.
"We’ve found Lu Yan. He’s in East City. Should we act now?" asked one multicoloured snake.
Another red snake was clearly much more cautious. "This place is too close to Lingdong City. Let’s move further away to discuss."
"What are you afraid of? Lingdong City is twenty miles away. Even if Lu Yan has broken into the Primordial Spirit Realm, his spiritual perception can’t reach this far. He won’t hear our conversation," said the multicoloured snake.
But in the end, it obediently listened to the red snake’s advice and flew another twenty miles away, putting them forty miles away from Lingdong City.
They believed this place was absolutely safe.
"The people from the Purple Wing Immortal Ruins haven’t arrived yet. Let’s wait for them before acting together, just to ensure there are no slip-ups. However, with so many people in Lingdong City, I’m worried that it won’t be easy."
The red snake responded.
"What’s so difficult about it? When the time comes, we just activate our ’Immortal Bodies’ and send both Lingdong City and Lu Yan to their deaths. They are just cattle. If they die, they die. There’s no need for compassion," the multicoloured snake responded.
The red snake finally nodded.
Lu Yan’s face darkened, a wave of murderous intent rising in him.
"Immortal Ruins? So it’s the ’immortals’, I am just short of immortal bones to improve my martial arts. Since you’ve come knocking on my door, don’t blame me for being rude," he sneered. Lu Yan flew into the sky towards the two snakes.
Forty miles, was covered in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yan stood high in the sky overlooking the two snakes who didn’t notice anything amiss.
Lu Yan connected with the Dao Book and discovered that the Dao Book was radiating light and giving off a sense of longing.
"Indeed, these are immortals. These are living immortals, filled with immortal power; their robust immortal power is incomparable to that in immortal bones. I won’t be polite then."
Lu Yan took out the Slaying Immortals Bow and placed the Demon Destroying Arrow on it, aiming at the multicoloured snake.
In his sea of consciousness, his soul radiated light, and the cosmic energy madly converged towards the Exorcism Bow, Demon Destroying Arrow.
The Demon Destroying Arrow shone with dazzling light.
"Such a big movement."
Lu Yan was somewhat speechless.
As expected, the two snakes were startled and both looked towards the sky. They were then taken aback, their bodies sprang up like springs and, like two bolts of lightning, they leaped in two different directions.
Whoosh!
The Demon Destroying Arrow left the bowstring and shot towards the multicoloured snake.
For this arrow shot, Lu Yan used the ’Demon Hunting’ archery technique.
As soon as the arrow flew out, it seemed to pierce through space and disappeared from its original position. The next moment, it appeared above the head of the multicolored snake.
The multicoloured snake’s hair stood on end, its body swelled up dramatically, its head gleamed, and a scale-like armor emerged, blocking the path of the arrow.
Boom!
The Demon Destroying Arrow hit the armor, instantly piercing through and continuing to shoot at the multicoloured snake’s head. With a soft sound, it pierced the multicoloured snake’s head and penetrated into the ground.
The destructive power of the arrow caused the multicoloured snake’s head to explode like a watermelon, with flesh and blood flying all over.
However, the snake was not dead yet. A mysterious energy rushed out from its body. The exploded flesh was rehealing, and the blood was flying back.
"As expected, it isn’t that easy to kill a pure immortal."
Lu Yan mulled over in his heart.
The Immortal Servants he encountered, whose bodies were full of Will Power Patterns, had excessively robust vitality and were hard to kill—let alone genuine immortals; impossible to kill with ease.
However, just as the head of the multi-colored serpent was about to heal, it burst open once more with a "plop."
"It’s the energy from the Slaying Immortals Bow and the Destroying Demon Arrow."
Lu Yan’s eyes shone brightly.
No wonder it is called the ’Exorcism Bow, Demon Destroying Arrow’. The name wasn’t chosen casually. When they launched an attack, they contained a unique energy. When it hit the giant serpent, this energy had already infiltrated its body, continuously causing relentless attacks, wearing down its vitality.
Lu Yan pulled out another Destroying Demon Arrow, bent the bow, and nocked the arrow. True Vigor and Soul Power were infused into the bow and arrow, and at the same time, he harnessed the Heavenly Earth Power, launching another arrow.
This arrow pierced through the seven-inch spot of the multicolored giant serpent. The serpent exploded, breaking into two parts. The terrifying force of destruction made it impossible for the multicolored giant serpent to recover. Its colossal body lay on the ground, devoid of vita signs.
"The Slaying Immortals Bow, the Destroying Demon Arrow, spiritual treasure of Martial Ancestor..."
The other red giant serpent let out a fearful roar, turned around, scampered away.
Immortals, with vigorous vitality and a long lifespan, far surpass human martial artists.
They all had experienced the prehistoric unrest, and had personally witnessed the Martial Ancestor slaughtering all around him with the Slaying Immortal Bow and Destroying Demon Arrow, killing any immortal or demon who stood in his way.
The fear, engraved in their bones, had not dissipated, even after five thousand years.
The red giant serpent twisted its body, pushing its speed to the extreme, resembling a red lightning bolt tearing through the void.
But Lu Yan was even faster.
Lu Yan trod upon the void. Between each step, stars glittered. Beneath his feet, it seemed as if a starry road had appeared.
Naturally, it was Star Leg.
The seventh level of Star Leg.
Divine-level Martial Arts, especially after the fourth level, were hard to utilize at full power within the True Body Realm.
Only when reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm could one truly unleash the full force of Divine-level Martial Arts.
Even the highest level of Divine-level Martial Arts, even just the seventh tier, was something few people in the world could achieve.
In an instant, Lu Yan approached the Red Serpent.
Knowing it could not escape, the Red Serpent turned around and lunged at Lu Yan.
The body of the Red Serpent quickly lengthened, transforming into more than 200 meters. It opened its gaping mouth, which resembled a black hole, radiating a terrifying swallowing power.
It’s said that the python swallows elephants, and this red serpent could even swallow a mountain.
As a reply, naturally, a Demon-destroying Arrow fired at it.
The Demon-Destroying Arrow flew into the black hole, and the head of the Red Serpent exploded directly.
The terrifying energy of destruction continuously eroded the Red Serpent’s vitality. By the time Lu Yan shot the second arrow, it had fallen to the ground for good.
Lu Yan stretched out his hand to catch the four Destroying Demon Arrows that flew back into his palm. There was not a trace of blood on them.
"The Slaying Immortals Bow and Destroying Demon Arrow are indeed the ultimate tools to exterminate demons and kill immortals. With these spiritual treasures at hand, it won’t be as troublesome as before."
Lu Yan thought to himself.
Then, he found two Sumi Mustard Seed Bags on the two giant serpents and took out the Dao Book.
The Dao Book transformed into a giant vortex, first swallowed the Red Serpent clean, and then the multicolored giant serpent, and left no residue behind.
Soon, intense energy poured out from Dao Book, which Lu Yan used to enhance the progress of his ’Demon Hunting’.
’Demon Hunting’ began to improve rapidly.
"Living immortals have abundant energy, which is incomparable to thousands of year-old immortal bones."
Feeling the continuous energy in the Dao Book, Lu Yan’s eyes were bright.
"The two serpents mentioned earlier that more immortals from the Purple Wing Immortal Ruins are coming. I’ll wait nearby."
Lu Yan found a hidden place to hide and quietly waited.
He waited one day.
And ’Demon hunting’ broke through two levels, reaching the seventh level.
At this point, the energy pouring out of Dao Book began to decrease slowly.
"The Cultivation Level is still a bit low, just reaching the third rank of Primordial Spirit Realm. Even though they are ’fresh’, the energy is limited."
Lu Yan thought to himself. These two serpents could elevate Demon Hunting to the eighth level at most.
From that rank of immortals if they die, after thousands of years, I guess the energy in their bones would disperse, leaving no immortal power behind.
Those immortals whose bones still contain immortal power thousands of years after their death, must have reached a level higher than the third rank of Primordial Spirit Realm when alive.
"They are here."
Lu Yan’s spirit was uplifted.
His Spiritual Sense had already sensed two figures flying at astonishing speed toward him.
Soon, two strands of purple radiances appeared in the sky.
If someone with insufficient cultivation saw it, it would just look like two strands of purple light leaping across the sky. They wouldn’t be able to see the bodies inside the purple lights.
Of course, Lu Yan could see clearly.
It’s two purple birds.
"It’s that guy."
Seeing these two purple birds, Lu Yan remembered the purple-haired youth he had killed inside the Tongtian Palace.
The purple-haired youth had once summoned an immortal power that transformed into a purple Da Peng, which was frightening. If the Dao Book hadn’t absorbed it at the crucial moment, Lu Yan might not have been able to hold off that purple Da Peng.
These two birds were very similar to that purple Da Peng.
"So it’s because of that purple-haired youth that the people from the Immortal Ruins have targeted me. The Immortal Ruins are indeed strange. I had disguised my appearance at that time and was still found."
Lu Yan was alarmed in his heart.
