Chapter 458: Chapter 433: Single-Handed Elephant Lift
"It’s still thanks to that Lu Yan and the World Bank owner."
The azure little Qilin showed a self-mocking sneer, while a dense killing intent appeared in its eyes.
Naturally, the azure little Qilin was none other than Immortal Great Freedom.
"I heard they said you two made a trip to Da Wu Imperial City. That World Bank owner excels in formation patterns and is unfathomably skilled; I reckon even if you two joined forces, you wouldn’t gain any advantage."
Immortal Great Freedom said.
"You’re right, but it doesn’t matter. We have more important matters to attend to this time."
The leader among the white jade elephants said.
"More important matters? May I know what they are?"
Immortal Great Freedom was curious.
The leading white jade elephant exchanged a glance with the Purple Eye Celestial Ox.
If Immortal Great Freedom were in his prime, they surely wouldn’t reveal anything easily, but given his current weakness, he posed no threat. Moreover, they needed the help of Immortal Great Freedom, this local snake, to find Fu Xinli in the vast continent.
"We’ve come in pursuit of the Three Emperors Command."
The leader among the white jade elephants said.
"The Three Emperors Command?"
Immortal Great Freedom was puzzled; he had never heard of it, and even the awakened memories in his bloodline contained no records of the Three Emperors Command.
"The Three Emperors Command is a token issued by the Origin Continent’s Three Emperor’s Alliance. Anyone who possesses the Three Emperors Command can be guided by the Three Emperors Alliance to leave the Wild Ocean, regardless of their race."
The leading white jade elephant explained.
"I see."
Immortal Great Freedom suddenly realized and then sneered, saying, "The Three Emperors Command is indeed important, but there is one artifact that surpasses the Three Emperors Command by ten thousand times."
"An artifact that surpasses the Three Emperors Command by ten thousand times?"
The white jade elephant and the Purple Eye Celestial Ox showed expressions of doubt and curiosity.
"The two of you, let’s step aside for a moment."
Immortal Great Freedom said and moved to one side.
The leading white jade elephant and the Purple Eye Celestial Ox looked at each other and followed.
"What is it that’s so secretive?"
The leader among the white jade elephants said.
"Have you two heard of the Dao Book?"
Immortal Great Freedom asked.
"The Dao Book?"
The leading white jade elephant chuckled and said, "Once we awaken the memories from our bloodline, we are bound to recall the Dao Book. Who among our race wouldn’t know? But the Dao Book has been lost for countless years. Why? Why do you suddenly bring up the Dao Book?"
"Because the Dao Book is on this continent,"
Immortal Great Freedom slowly said.
"What?"
The white jade elephant and the Purple Eye Celestial Ox nearly jumped up, exclaiming in shock.
"Impossible, the Dao Book, the supreme treasure of our clan as per legend, how could it appear in such a trivial place?"
The white jade elephant and the Purple Eye Celestial Ox shook their heads repeatedly, finding it hard to believe.
"It’s absolutely true. I have seen it with my own eyes, and moreover, the Dao Book is in the possession of Emperor Da Wu, Lu Yan. The reason he could rise so rapidly and possesses extraordinary power is precisely because of the Dao Book."
Immortal Great Freedom said.
"How could the Dao Book be in the hands of a human martial cultivator?"
The white jade elephant and the Purple Eye Celestial Ox still found it hard to believe.
"I swear by the name of Immortal Ancestor, if I speak any falsehood, may I never ascend for all eternity,"
Immortal Great Freedom solemnly declared.
Seeing Immortal Great Freedom swear by the Immortal Ancestor, they were immediately convinced.
Immortal Ancestor was the most revered being among the Immortal Clan, and no one would dare to profane its name.
"The Dao Book, the Dao Book, to think it’s actually in this place. If we acquire the Dao Book, we will be able to soar to the heavens on our own and wouldn’t need any Three Emperors Command to forge our way out of the Wild Ocean."
The white jade elephant’s breathing became hurried.
"Indeed, if we obtain the Dao Book, becoming a creator in the future would not be difficult at all,"
The Purple Eye Celestial Ox, with purple eyes, started to turn blood red.
However, they were no ordinary beings and quickly calmed down.
"You mentioned that World Bank owner who is adept in formation patterns and has unfathomable methods. Even if we joined forces, it would be difficult to take him down."
The white jade elephant said.
"That’s easy. Just keep the World Bank owner busy while other members of our clan take down Lu Yan and seize the Dao Book."
Immortal Great Freedom said.
The white jade elephant and the Purple Eye Celestial Ox’s eyes sparkled.
"You’re right, apart from us, there are nine at the Crossing the Tribulation stage and fourteen at the He Dao stage. That should be more than enough to take down a Lu Yan."
"There’s no time to lose. Let’s strike back at once."
The leader among the white jade elephants and the Purple Eye Celestial Ox, along with the twenty-three members of the Immortal Clan, headed back towards Wangu City in Da Wu Imperial City.
"Lu Yan, I’ve said before, your end will be a terrible one..."
Immortal Great Freedom’s gaze toward Wangu City was filled with malice and venom.
...
"Hmm?"
Lu Yan had just returned to the practice room not long ago when he sensed a terrifying presence approaching again.
He immediately left the practice room and flew into the high sky, only to see Mr. World had already reached above higher ground.
"The two of you, returning so soon, what is it for? Still wishing for another battle?"
Mr. World spoke coldly.
"The last bout wasn’t satisfying enough, this time let’s fight to our content."
The leader, a white jade elephant, curled its trunk and rolled it towards Mr. World.
The purple-eyed immortal ox fired its pair of horns like two scimitars, spinning rapidly towards Mr. World to cleave him.
Mr. World coldly snorted, leisurely and fearless, with a yin-yang fish diagram emerging beneath his feet. He pushed both hands forward, and endless runes spread out, engaging in a fierce battle with the two immortals of the immortal realm.
Mr. World intended to draw the battlefield deep into the sky’s vault, avoiding any impact on Wangu City.
Therefore, after several thundering booms, the three experts killed their way into the depths of the vault.
Thud thud thud...
Like a thousand troops galloping, a massive purple-eye celestial ox trod on the void, creating thunderous noises as it charged towards Wangu City. From its purple eyes, two beams of purple light burst out like two purple war swords, stabbing at Lu Yan.
"Transcendence Tribulation Stage."
Lu Yan’s heart stirred, and he dared not take it lightly. The thunder bell flew out, and two golden lightnings broke through the void, blocking the two purple beams.
Boom!
Suddenly, a gigantic white jade elephant from the high sky, smashed down towards Lu Yan like an immortal mountain itself.
The huge elephant foot stomped down towards the top of Lu Yan’s head.
Yet another attempting to cross the tribulation.
Lu Yan raised his hand to shoot upwards.
Compared to the body of the white jade elephant, his body was like an ant.
But when his palm struck the elephant’s foot, the mountainous white jade elephant was steadily caught by him.
Single-hand lifting the elephant.
His body did not sink in the slightest.
The next moment, he turned his palm into a claw and dug deeply into the flesh of the elephant’s foot. True Vigor mixed with the Rule of Thunder formed chains of thunder that entwined the elephant’s foot. Then with a fierce swing of his arm,
Lu Yan swung the mountainous body of the white jade elephant, tossing it out, smashing towards the incoming purple-eye celestial ox.
Boom!
The two colossal creatures collided heavily, rolling out like rubber balls.
Suddenly, another purple-eye celestial ox burst out from the side of Lu Yan.
This purple-eye celestial ox ran with full force, using its head to ram Lu Yan. The timing was perfect, and Lu Yan failed to dodge in time and was hit, being pushed forwards.
Ahead, another purple-eye celestial ox lowered its head, poised its two horns, and charged towards him.
Clearly, the two purple-eye celestial oxen intended to use this method to smash Lu Yan into a meat patty.
All those who took action were beings at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, mighty in strength. If it had been before his breakthrough to the Seventh Transformation of Primordial Spirit, facing an attack by so many transcendence-stage immortals might indeed be troublesome.
But now...
With a thought, Martial God’s Secret and the Yanluo Golden Body along with other body refining martial arts operated simultaneously, covering Lu Yan’s body with dragon scales. He stretched out his arm to grab a horn.
Then he stomped his feet into the void, which rippled like water, and his body was pinned in the void like a sea-calming needle. He hoisted the purple-eye celestial ox, smashing it into the incoming ox.
The celestial ox could not stop in time, crashing heavily into the waist of the ox Lu Yan had swung, and the sound of breaking bones resounded. The one that was hit flew out sideways.
Lu Yan twisted his figure and appeared next to the charging ox, his palm like a blade, ready to strike down at the ox’s neck.
But at this moment, white jade elephants rushed towards him from both sides.
Their presence was frightening, as they were also beings that had crossed the tribulation stage.
And one of them had even survived the Six-Nine Sky Tribulation, demonstrating formidable strength.
The two white jade elephants curled their trunks, rolling up the rules of heaven and earth into two white jade-like spears that howled forth, piercing towards Lu Yan with terrifying might.
"So it’s a full-on battle now, is it?"
Lu Yan’s eyes were frigid.
These immortal clan members, returning after leaving, was highly unusual.
Moreover, it seemed that they were targeting him.
Clearly, the two immortals of the immortal realm had drawn Mr. World away first, while the other immortals focused on him for a fierce attack.
"Could it be that they’ve found the remnant immortals of this continent and learned the secret of the Dao Book?"
A flash of realization passed through Lu Yan’s heart, weighing down with concern.
If they knew the secret of the Dao Book, it would not be good.
"Kill!"
Lu Yan’s spiritual sense covered the sky’s vault, locking onto the two spears. When the spears drew near, he reached out to grab them, his body spinning with the motion to thrust the spears into the body of the purple-eye celestial ox.
That ox’s body was flung out, exploding into pieces.
Its primordial spirit, in panic, flew out but was then suppressed by a phantom image of a big tree. The spirit, unharmed by heavenly tribulation, disintegrated into nothing under the big tree phantom image.
"Soul attack."
The other immortals were shocked, retreating their primordial spirits into their bodies.
"This man is strangely powerful, form a formation and fight him with a combined strike array," one of the white jade elephants that had crossed the Six-Nine Sky Tribulation transmitted through soul ripples.
Swish swish...
The figures of white jade elephants emerged one after another.
Thirteen in total.
Among them, five had reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, and eight had reached the Nirvana period.
The thirteen white jade elephants positioned themselves at different points, their auras merging, intertwining with each other as if becoming one entity.
Boom!
A terrifying presence spread out, and a white jade elephant even larger than Wangu City appeared in the air.
This white jade elephant was not a physical entity but rather a manifestation evolved by the thirteen white jade elephants through a combined strike formation.
Some elephants were positioned at the trunk, others at the limbs, some at the head, and some at the waist and abdomen...
With a swing of its trunk, the void vibrated, rolling up a terrifying torrent that charged towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan gripped the Five-Colored Battle Knife, with the Thunder Bell shedding golden lightning chains that entwined around the knife. He struck out with the knife, shattering the torrent and colliding with the elephant’s trunk.
With a loud bang, Lu Yan’s figure rapidly retreated.
And the giant elephant also staggered back several steps.
