Chapter 455: Chapter 430 Immortal Great Battle_1
The rune expanded rapidly, like a giant rune web, suspending the vast sea within the air.
A figure appeared above Lu Yan, with his hands behind his back. It was Mr. World.
Lu Yan sighed with relief.
Though he was confident Mr. World would intervene, he couldn’t help feeling anxious before Mr. World made his move. If Mr. World didn’t step in, wouldn’t he meet his end here?
"Burn!"
Mr. World pointed into the void, and with a low shout, the runes in the sky burst into flames and turned into a sea of fire.
The fire and water clashed in the air, transforming into a fog that enveloped thousands of miles.
"Immortality."
Zhao Zhihuan glanced at Mr. World, a trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes.
In a world that clearly lacked the will of heaven and earth, how could an Immortal Realm powerhouse exist?
Could it be someone who came from overseas a long time ago?
"He is the one I am to protect. You all should retreat."
Mr. World said calmly.
"The one you want to protect? We’ll see if you can protect him."
Zhao Zhihuan was clearly not going to retreat easily. He let out a low cry, unleashed his immortal power, and his body shot into the sky, transforming into a river.
His body turned into a river.
No, to be precise, it transformed into a rule.
The rule of water.
The river rushed towards Mr. World.
Its force seemed lesser than the vast sea earlier, but its power terrifyingly increased several times.
Mr. World’s face remained unflustered, showing no signs of change.
His hands danced in the air, forming countless runes that spread out from his fingertips and filled the void.
"Starfire Sword Array."
With a final touch from Mr. World, a large formation took shape. Swords of fire, each stretching a thousand feet, solidified and slashed towards the river.
But the river was incredibly flexible, like a water snake. It squirmed and wriggled in the air, dodging the fiery giant swords, and eventually lunged towards Mr. World like a colossal python.
"Starfire Lock Chain."
Mr. World gave a low shout, his fingers danced, and the formation changed once more. A dozen large chains of fire appeared and wrapped around the river.
The river could no longer dodge, caught by several flame chains, it started to burn with hissing sounds.
Bang!
At the next moment, the river exploded, turning into a fog that filled the sky. The fog then gathered, forming countless water arrows, all shooting towards Lu Yan.
Each water arrow radiated a terrifying shriek, its power was incredibly formidable.
Lu Yan felt that a single water arrow possessed more power than his fullest shot from the Destroying Demon Arrow.
And there were hundreds of such water arrows.
But Mr. World merely waved his hand, and countless runes filled the air, forming into a massive shield, blocking all the water arrows.
"Fierce Flames, Prison Cage."
Mr. World forcefully thrust out his palms. Suddenly, even more runes emerged in the void, creating a massive prison cage that covered all the water arrows within it.
Inside the cage, fierce flames blazed, like a furnace, aiming to refine everything inside.
Sizzling...
The countless water arrows vibrated continually, then converged together, reforming into Zhao Zhihuan’s shape.
Zhao Zhihuan looked somewhat pale, he shouted "Break!"
His body turned into a water sword, breaking through the air, aiming to pierce through the cage and escape.
But the cage was unassailable, made of countless interwoven runes, and Zhao Zhihuan’s sword failed to break the cage.
Mr. World stepped forward, landing on top of the cage, his hands continuously casting spells.
Fire engulfed the sides of the cage, forming nine fire dragons aiming at Zhao Zhihuan.
in his sword form, Zhao Zhihuan put up a powerful defense, repelling the fire dragons one by one.
But at this time, Mr. World did not stop, and with every moment, runes flew out from his fingertips into the cage.
The fires within the cage grew ever stronger, and the size of the cage slowly shrank.
As the size of the cage shrank, its power only increased and not decreased.
"Not good, this person is an Array Master, I cannot give him time to set up his formation, otherwise, the power of the formation will only grow stronger."
Zhao Zhihuan’s thoughts raced, and he let loose a weapon from his forehead.
This weapon, like a piece of coral, contained an intense rule of water.
As the coral emerged, the humidity drastically increased.
This was Zhao Zhihuan’s Immortal Treasure.
It was not a damaged Immortal Treasure but an intact one.
Zhao Zhihuan once again transformed himself into a rule and merged into the coral. Then he had the coral sweep towards the side of the cage.
Bang!
The cage trembled violently, the spot under attack bulged like a rubber ball.
Bang... Bang...
The coral continually attacked, striking twelve blows in a row.
Finally, with a loud bang, a hole was made in the cage. The coral rushed out of the hole, and in a blink, it had moved hundreds of miles away, far away from the cage.
"You have some skill, to have escaped from my formation. Try again."
Mr. World scoffed. With a wave of his hand, ninety-nine formation flags flew out from within his body.
"Wait, Friend Dao, cease."
Zhao Zhihuan jumped in fright, scrambling to solidify his body, frantically waving his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist, don’t fight, we have no grudges, why must we fight to the death?"
Ninety-nine Formation Flags revolved around Mr. World as he coldly glared at Zhao Zhihuan, saying, "You were the first to strike. You, an Immortal, stooped to attacking a Primordial Spirit. It’s disgraceful."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist speaks the truth, it was my mistake, caught up in the heat of the moment. They say you cannot know a man until you fight him. Fortunately, no one has died. How about we call it quits?"
Zhao Zhihuan said.
"I only promise to spare his life. If you leave him alone, we can discuss everything."
Mr. World pointed towards Lu Yan.
"Haha, Lu Yan’s strength is impressive."
Zhao Zhihuan laughed, saying, "The reason I attacked previously was because I wanted to ask Lu Yan to help me find someone. Perhaps my methods were too extreme. Upon reflection, there might have been a better way."
Lu Yan didn’t speak, only staring at Zhao Zhihuan.
"We, perhaps we can make a transaction."
Zhao Zhihuan continued.
"What kind of transaction?"
Lu Yan asked.
"It’s the same as before. Young Master Lu mobilizes people to help us find a man, and we’ll pay you."
"Although Young Master Lu only has a sixth rotation of the Yuan God, your Soul Power is particularly strong. No doubt, you have a Special Soul. Special Souls are incredibly difficult to improve and require more resources than normal. It must not have been easy for you to improve, Young Master Lu."
"I just happen to have some Soul Pills that can expedite your enhancement of Soul Power."
Zhao Zhihuan said.
"Soul Pills?"
Lu Yan asked, curious.
"Young Master doesn’t know?"
Zhao Zhihuan asked.
Lu Yan nodded.
"Soul Pills are made by refining various rare treasures and the souls of True Beasts. After refining, they can greatly enhance the strength of one’s soul. They are indispensable to the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit Realm. They are quicker than refining with Heavenly Earth Power and don’t have side effects like the Soul Crystal."
Zhao Zhihuan explained.
"Elixirs, the outside world really relies mainly on Elixirs, not Martial Pills."
Lu Yan thought to himself.
"If Young Master considers these insufficient, I can offer you Martial Arts scriptures. I see your comprehension is extraordinary. You might need powerful martial arts scriptures. I have two divine-level martial arts scriptures exceeding thirteen levels, both of which can be given to you."
"Also, this continent seems to lack the world’s will. As such, its rules are not complete. Without complete rules, it is very difficult to cross the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve Immortality."
"Fellow Daoist, you must have come from overseas."
At this point, Zhao Zhihuan looked at Mr. World and continued, "Once the matter is settled, I will return to the Wild Lands. I can take Young Master with me. With your talent, if you can’t break through to Immortality, wouldn’t it be a waste and a lifelong regret?"
To be honest, Zhao Zhihuan’s conditions are very tempting.
However, Lu Yan had said before that he would never exploit people’s wealth for this.
Now, if he agrees to the other party’s request because of his personal interest, how will the people of the Great Wu Emperor Dynasty perceive him?
In addition, with Mr. World here, Lu Yan wasn’t afraid of Zhao Zhihuan at all.
So, Lu Yan shook his head directly and said, "If you want to make other transactions with me, I can agree. But your previous condition is too difficult to meet, please forgive me for being unable to help."
Zhao Zhihuan’s gaze darkened slightly.
"Young Master should reconsider, it’s a mutually beneficial arrangement."
Zhao Zhihuan couldn’t give up and tried to persuade him again.
Lu Yan shook his head and said, "Guests are always welcome. If you want to stay for a drink, I’d be more than happy."
"No need, Fellow Daoist, I bid you farewell."
Noticing that Lu Yan wouldn’t agree, Zhao Zhihuan came to the point and saluted Mr. World. He then turned around and left.
His eleven followers quickly trailed behind him, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Sir, should we just leave it at that?"
After flying some distance, the emaciated old man asked.
"What else can we do? Although I still have a few strategies left, that Immortal probably hasn’t used all of his strength either. Furthermore, he is very adept at Formation Patterns. There is absolutely no guarantee that we would win if we continued to fight."
"What? If I tangled with that Immortal with all my strength, do you think you could handle that Lu Yan?"
Zhao Zhihuan said coldly.
"This..."
The emaciated old man was left speechless.
"If Lu Yan won’t help, then we’ll figure it out ourselves. Go to Nanjiang and find that Fu Xinli for me. Even if we have to turn this continent upside down, we will find him. Time is on our side."
Zhao Zhihuan said coldly.
The emaciated old man and the others shivered and quickly agreed.
...
"From now on, I will reside in Wangu City. Prepare a quiet private residence for me."
After Zhao Zhihuan and his men left, Mr. World said.
"Rest assured, we will definitely satisfy you."
Lu Yan laughed.
He understood that the reason Mr. World, wanted to stay in Wangu City was that he was afraid Zhao Zhihuan would return and strike surreptitiously.
Once Mr. World settled, Lu Yan instructed Elder Chi Yi and Zuo Yun to visit Mr. World regularly.
Mr. World’s previous Formation Pattern techniques had completely enthralled and convinced Elder Chi Yi and Zuo Yun. Even without Lu Yan’s orders, they began visiting on their own.
Mr. World also appreciated their talents in the field of Formation Patterns and generously provided guidance. Their understanding of Formation Patterns quickly improved significantly, which goes without saying.
Within the practice room, Lu Yan sat cross-legged. His mind submerged in the sea of consciousness, cooperating with the large tree inside his Primordial Spirit to refine the Primordial Spirit of the Immortal Realm powerhouse.
Strands of pure Soul Power emerged from the tree, blending into Lu Yan’s Primordial Spirit, steadily enhancing his Soul Power.
