Chapter 523: Chapter 498 Innate Magic Body
Fang Yunliang arrived high in the sky, facing Lu Yan.
He did not address Lu Yan as a Disciple but as a junior brother, taking the title of senior brother for himself, indicating his intentions.
"Senior Brother Fang Yunliang is actually going to make a move personally."
"Senior Brother Fang is an Innate Magic Body, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen him in action."
Many people became excited.
"Innate Magic Body?"
Lu Yan whispered to himself, revealing intense anticipation.
After joining the Dragon Alliance, he had specifically learned about some unique physiques.
The Innate Magic Body is one such special physique, naturally close to a certain magical Law.
There are many types of Innate Magic Bodies.
Like an innate Fire Body, naturally close to the Rule of Fire, they can effortlessly utilize the Rule of Fire or the corresponding Laws, comprehending them as easily as a fish swimming in water, many times easier than ordinary people.
And they can also effortlessly perfect the Immortality Skill and Great Tao Skill related to fire attributes, deploying them with much more power than ordinary people.
An Innate Magic Body is extremely fearsome, and their talent and strength surpass those who possess four kinds of Organ Miracles.
Unless one has four Organ Miracles and is also a special soul practitioner, they could hardly compare.
Of course, legend has it that those who possess all five Organ Miracles can suppress an Innate Magic Body.
But such individuals are rare in the world and even rarer than Innate Magic Bodies throughout history.
Legend has it that Fang Yunliang is an innate Wind Body.
Lu Yan had been looking forward to challenging him.
"Senior Brother Fang, please."
Lu Yan gestured.
"Junior Brother Lu, I can suppress my cultivation level to the Immortal Fourth Layer to fight you."
Fang Yunliang said.
"No need, Senior Brother Fang can suppress it to the Immortal Fifth Layer, or else, I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand even a few of my moves," Lu Yan said with a smile.
His words made Fang Yunliang’s eyes narrow, flashing with a cold light.
Disdain, naked disdain.
Since he began his cultivation, when had Fang Yunliang ever been so disparaged?
Even among the nine great members of the Dragon Alliance, none would dare to underestimate him to this extent, claiming they could defeat him in a few moves within the same level of cultivation.
Most of the members’ talents were only somewhat comparable to his, except for a few outliers.
"Since Junior Brother Lu Yan is so confident, then as your senior brother, I will oblige you,"
Fang Yunliang said coldly, his aura erupting like a volcano, soaring to the heavens, and stopping abruptly after reaching the Immortal Fifth Layer.
Around him swirled an azure energy, immense within the endless Magic River of Wind flowing around him, leaping with excitement.
Lu Yan, too, had mastered the complete Rule of Wind and could acutely feel the Rule of Wind around him rapidly converging towards Fang Yunliang. Lu Yan tried to control the wind but found it exceedingly difficult, feeling both willing and powerless.
"So this is an Innate Magic Body, truly profound. Other cultivators of the Rule of Wind would probably lose control of the Law in his presence, putting them in a position to be struck down," Lu Yan thought to himself.
The Rule of Wind around Fang Yunliang became denser, almost solidifying into reality, with terrifying wind blades condensing around him.
Lu Yan didn’t wait any longer and made the first move.
He activated the Saint Soldier’s Formula to its utmost, his body seeming to transform into an ultimate godly saber, cleaving towards Fang Yunliang.
"Wind Slash."
Fang Yunliang uttered lightly, his palm cleaving through thin air, as endless Rule of Fire converged, turning into a hundred-meter-long wind blade that he slashed down at Lu Yan.
Two blades of light collided in midair, unleashing thunderous roars, with countless forces sweeping out in all directions.
Below, buildings shimmered with countless runes, blocking all these forces.
The entire Dragon Emperor City was within an unparalleled great Formation, with every building overlaid by a Formation, sturdy and indestructible, which was also why they could fight recklessly.
Boom!
Two figures simultaneously retreated.
"You..."
Fang Yunliang was shocked.
He had not expected Lu Yan to actually be able to contend with him.
After all, he had an Innate Magic Body and could even fight above his level even in the Immortal Fifth Layer.
"It’s the Saint Soldier’s Formula. This Lu Yan must have cultivated the Saint Soldier’s Formula to the sixth layer, his strength comparable to the Immortal Sixth Layer,"
Fang Yunliang thought to himself.
His long hair fluttering, his whole body was covered in azure energy, turning even his hair strands blue.
"Boundless Storm."
Fang Yunliang shouted lightly, pushing with both hands as several enormous tornados suddenly appeared in the sky.
Each tornado, composed of countless wind blades, was tremendously fearsome. An Immortal Treasure caught within would be reduced to dust in an instant.
The dozen or so tornados enveloping Lu Yan slowly closed in, leaving him with no chance to escape.
"Thunder Dragon Slash."
Lu Yan’s expression became slightly solemn.
Such an attack could already threaten beings of the Immortal Sixth Layer.
The Saint Soldier’s Formula’s sixth layer, although comparable to the Immortal Sixth Layer, was ultimately too one-dimensional, relying only on physical strength, at most only matching the weakest of the Immortal Sixth Layer.
He pushed the Saint Soldier’s Formula to its limit while operating the Rule of Thunder, unleashing a powerful thunder-based Immortality Skill.
Roar roar...
Giant thunder dragons emerged, countering the tornados, continually clashing against one another.
At this moment, Fang Yunliang rode the wind like a phantom, passing through the tornado and unleashing another type of wind-based Immortality Skill. His fingers flicked like arrows, aiming at Lu Yan’s vitals.
Lu Yan immediately countered with a Thunder Finger.
A few moves later, Fang Yunliang’s attack changed again, and he executed another type of wind-based Immortality Skill, targeting Lu Yan’s back.
Lu Yan immediately counterattacked with another type of Thunder-based Immortality Skill.
The two fought at high speed, constantly changing their moves, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a hundred blows and switched between more than a dozen Immortality Skills.
Onlookers were dazzled by their combat.
"How is it possible for Lu Yan to master so many Thunder-based Immortality Skills? Moreover, they appear to be of an incredibly high level, extremely powerful."
"Could he be an Innate Thunder Body?"
"Impossible, his mastery over the Rule of Thunder is merely average, far from the domineering presence of an Innate Magic Body."
Many people had heated discussions, finding it unbelievable.
Fang Yunliang was an Innate Wind Body and had a natural advantage in comprehending wind-based Immortality Skills. His cultivation was extremely rapid, which allowed him to master so many Immortality Skills of the wind system.
Yet Lu Yan, who did not seem to be an Innate Magic Body, was also able to master so many Immortality Skills. Was it all due to comprehension?
If it were purely down to comprehension, being able to master that many Thunder-based Immortality Skills would be terrifyingly impressive.
Fang Yunliang’s face grew increasingly grim.
Because he had run out of tricks, having used each Immortality Skill he had mastered once already, and repetitions had started, while Lu Yan still had new skills to reveal.
"Wind Domain!"
Fang Yunliang suddenly let out a low roar, and a burst of cyan energy surged. In that instant, it was as if Lu Yan saw the Magic River of the Rule of Wind in the heavens and the earth glow, showering down an energy that fell upon Fang Yunliang.
This energy quickly expanded, enveloping both Lu Yan and Fang Yunliang within it.
"It’s the Wind Domain, Senior Brother Fang is using his strongest move."
"Once an Innate Magic Body’s domain is activated, they become the ruler within that domain. Those enveloped by it will be unable to contend. With this move, Lu Yan is bound to lose."
"To think I would witness the domain of an Innate Magic Body in my lifetime. This trip was worth it."
Many disciples of the Dragon Alliance showed signs of exhilaration.
On the high platform, the elders of the Dragon Alliance, as well as the other members, all displayed looks of curiosity, wanting to see if Lu Yan had any means to break Fang Yunliang’s domain.
As soon as Lu Yan was enveloped by the Wind Domain, terrifying pressure started to bear down on him from all directions.
He felt the space around him suddenly increase in pressure by a hundredfold, the air mercilessly compressed, threatening to crush everything into dust.
Furthermore, infinite wind blades swept toward him.
"Break for me."
Lu Yan let out a low shout, his body glowing and ringing like a bell as he slashed continuously with both hands, attempting to cleave open the sticky air around him.
The viscous air parted like a flowing stream, and Lu Yan’s palms continuously collided with the wind blades, causing sparks to fly.
Fang Yunliang stood within the domain like a deity of the wind, waving his hands to direct endless wind blades at Lu Yan while his figure flashed behind Lu Yan in an instant, his fingers like a sword stabbing toward Lu Yan’s back.
Lu Yan turned around, his palms covered in lightning, and met Fang’s attack head-on.
But after that exchange, Lu Yan’s arm trembled slightly.
"The power has increased tremendously."
Lu Yan thought to himself.
The Innate Magic Body was indeed powerful, and its domain had lived up to its reputation of being invincible.
Lu Yan sensed that the domain of the Innate Magic Body was actually borrowing a trace of the Magic River’s power. With this, the power seemed inexhaustible, and anyone trapped within it would be worn down to death.
Moreover, within the domain, the Immortality Skills deployed by the Innate Magic Body would be even more potent.
It could be described as freakish.
Swish, swish, swish...
Fang Yunliang continuously attacked, bringing a tremendous pressure upon Lu Yan.
But for Lu Yan, this was not a cause for alarm but excitement.
What he needed was this pressure.
Pressure was what forced potential to emerge.
"Thunder Fire..."
Lu Yan whispered, the rules enveloping his body shifted, transforming from the sole Rule of Thunder to the Thunder Fire Rule.
Boom!
Lu Yan erupted in power, his arms slashing out like blades.
With the enhancement of the blended rules, Lu Yan’s strength surged and after exchanging dozens of moves with Fang Yunliang, they were evenly matched.
"What? Fang Yunliang’s attacks have been blocked."
"That’s... the Thunder Fire Rule, Lu Yan has actually mastered two rules."
"Not just mastered, but fused. Impressive, no wonder he was appointed as an alliance member."
Persons who had mastered two rules weren’t rare.
However, mastering and fusing were two different things.
Mastering was simple, but fusion was extremely difficult, and only a select few could achieve such a feat.
Many Dragon Alliance disciples who had no conflict of interest with Lu Yan and who had previously been influenced by public opinion had completely changed their views on Lu Yan, truly recognizing him as the new alliance member.
On the high platform, many members had serious expressions and felt tremendous pressure.
An Innate Magic Body they did not fear, for many of them were Innate Magic Bodies themselves.
But Lu Yan’s strength was terrifying to them.
After all, Lu Yan was only at the Immortal Fourth Layer and was already capable of fighting across levels against an Innate Magic Body.
Moreover, he wasn’t just crossing a minor realm, but the huge gulf between the Immortal Fourth and Fifth Layers, which was astonishing.
That was something they could not achieve.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan and Fang Yunliang had crossed swords over a hundred times.
"Senior Brother Fang, is that all you’ve got? If so, you’re letting your junior brother down," Lu Yan called out.
