Chapter 551: Chapter 526: The Hero Saves the Beauty
"’I will not die a good death? Ridiculous. The one who won’t die a good death is you, Lu Lingxuan, along with the entire Dragon Alliance. The Dragon Alliance is not tolerated by the Origin Continent, and will sooner or later be annihilated, becoming nothing but pawns and cannon fodder in the war with the boundless starry sky. I don’t want to accompany the Dragon Alliance to destruction,’"
Chu Hao taunted.
Lu Lingxuan wished she could slap this traitor to death.
The more anxious she felt in her heart, the more likely it seemed that with a traitor like Chu Hao here to attract the disciples of the Dragon Alliance, the Dragon Alliance might be entirely wiped out this time.
...
Lu Yan hurried forward, while observing the changes on the jade talisman.
"It’s about a thousand miles ahead now. Looking at the jade talisman’s display, there are four light spots. I wonder if Yinuo and Mr. World are among them?"
Lu Yan pondered to himself.
Suddenly, his expression sharpened, and he came to an abrupt stop, but it was already too late; a domain expanded at an astonishing speed, engulfing Lu Yan within it.
"This is... the domain of an Innate Magic Body."
A thought struck Lu Yan, his expression remained calm.
The brave are fearless when they are skilled.
With his current strength, let alone the domain of an Innate Magic Body, even if it had been the domain of an Initial Body, he would have had nothing to fear.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Four figures entered the domain and, in a fan shape, blocked Lu Yan’s path, their powerful auras locked onto him.
"It’s this kid."
The leader, a young man in a blue robe, had two blue rivers circling around him, like blue water pythons.
This person was an Innate Magic Body with the Water Attribute.
But upon seeing Lu Yan, the young man’s expression changed.
In the first round of the Origin Battle, Lu Yan had shown his might by killing Na Lanming, and his formidable combat strength had alarmed even him.
"Retreat, this person’s strength is formidable. Only Zhao Tianxia can handle him."
The Water Attribute Magic Body youth growled lowly and retreated rapidly. As he retreated, the domain shrank quickly, and terrifying water pressure pressed towards Lu Yan.
"Break for me!"
Lu Yan bellowed, taking a mighty step forward, the ground thundered, and a hazy blade light soared into the sky, death energy spread in all directions, turning the area within tens of miles into a purgatory of death.
Boom!
The Water Domain exploded violently, split in half by the sheer force of the blade light.
Shua!
Lu Yan, transformed into lightning, charged at the four experts from the Three Emperors Alliance.
"How is this possible?"
The young man with the Water Attribute Magic Body’s pupils dilated as he gasped for air, a chill creeping up in his heart.
He knew full well how strong his domain was. He had retracted his domain to press down on Lu Yan with all his might; although he did not expect to severely wound Lu Yan with this move, injuring or trapping him should have been within the realm of possibility.
He could never have imagined that Lu Yan would cleave his domain in two with a single slash.
Such strength was almost comparable to that of an Initial Body.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat..."
The young man with the Water Attribute Magic Body screamed inwardly, retreating frantically. He knew very well that facing such a powerful opponent, a moment’s carelessness could mean death and the destruction of his path.
The other three disciples from the Three Emperors Alliance followed suit.
But behind them, the ground shook, and earth dragons rose from the ground, flinging themselves at them.
As Lu Yan’s cultivation level improved, the Immortality Skill he wielded also grew in power.
The figures of the four young masters from the Three Emperors Alliance were immediately impeded.
Shua!
Lu Yan closed in rapidly, holding a top-tier Immortal Treasure level war blade in his hand, he slashed down at the young man with the Water Attribute Magic Body, the blade’s deathly light causing the opponent’s whole body to feel cold, his skin to sting as if a scythe of death was descending upon his head.
"Block it for me!"
The Water Attribute Magic Body youth roared, bursting forth with all his potential in that moment.
Below The sky’s Vault, the Magic River shone, bestowing powerful force, and his domain covered his body, forming a strong defense.
However, he could not form a protective phantom of the Magic Long River around his body as an Initial Body could.
Boom!
Lu Yan’s blade light struck down, piercing through the young man’s protective domain, and the nine layers of defense beneath it were shattered as well.
Blood light erupted, and his body was cleaved in two. Although he did not die but transformed into a rule river and retreated rapidly.
"Soul Piercers."
The light in Lu Yan’s forehead gleamed as seven soul piercers charged into the rule river.
The slash that Lu Yan had just delivered not only halved the young man’s body, but it also shattered his Soul Defence Treasures.
At this moment, his Primordial Spirit was without Soul Defence Treasures and was struck accurately by the seven soul piercers.
Although the young man quickly unleashed a Soul Defense Skill, it was no match for Lu Yan’s seven soul piercers.
The soul piercers struck continuously, blasting the young man’s Primordial Spirit to pieces.
Immediately after, Lu Yan chased down his target, a blade light sweeping down and enveloping the transformed rule river, furiously slashing and grinding it.
In an instant, the blade light slashed thousands of times.
The Water Attribute Magic Body was utterly defeated, with both form and spirit destroyed.
The remaining three disciples from the Three Emperors Alliance were panic-stricken, frantically fleeing for their lives.
Whoosh!
Lu Yan’s war blade shot out from his hand, piercing through the head of one young man, extinguishing his Primordial Spirit.
Meanwhile, Lu Yan himself had turned into a streak of lightning and flew forward, his hand slapped down and two enormous bolts of lightning soared out, striking the remaining two young men.
Although the two young men desperately resisted, they were still reduced to charred corpses after the lightning struck.
The gap was simply too great.
For a monster at the Initial Body level killing a cultivator of the same cultivation level was just as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
"This place is actually an ambush from the Three Emperors Alliance, does that mean there’s a trap ahead?"
Thinking this, Lu Yan’s expression changed, looking a bit unsightly.
First, the Dragon Alliance’s jade talisman had reacted, which if it were a trap, meant that there were indeed members of the Dragon Alliance ahead, already fallen into the enemy’s hands.
Lu Yan began to worry about the safety of Shen Yinuo.
"No matter what, I have to take a look."
Lu Yan concealed his aura and continued forward without hesitation.
If he had been cautious and had considerations before breaking through the Immortal Eighth Layer, now he wouldn’t consider so much.
Even if he encountered two cultivators at the Initial Body level, if he couldn’t beat them, he could still manage to escape.
In this, he was confident.
A distance of a thousand miles was traversed in an instant.
At this moment, Lu Lingxuan’s situation had become even more dire.
Although an Initial Body could continuously borrow strength from the Magic River, other Initial Bodies had ways to cut off this tactic, greatly reducing the power available for others to borrow.
Lu Lingxuan was facing such a circumstance.
Now, she had two more wounds; she was drenched in sweat, her strength gradually ebbing away, feeling increasingly powerless.
"Lu Lingxuan, why don’t you surrender? Submit to me obediently. You are, after all, a rare beauty from the Origin Continent. As long as you submit to me, I might spare your life," said Zhao Tianxia, his gaze hot and unrelenting as he scanned Lu Lingxuan’s body.
In particular, where Lu Lingxuan was wounded and her clothes were torn, revealing large patches of snowy white skin, he couldn’t help but gulp down his saliva.
He had coveted Lu Lingxuan for more than a year or two.
Shen Shengming frowned and said, "Lu Lingxuan is no saint; keeping her alive is far less safe than killing her. Be careful of her counterattacking."
"Don’t worry, once she submits, I have ways to make her yield and willingly serve me every day... heh heh heh..." Zhao Tianxia sneered coldly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a blade light came at extreme speed, bringing with it an intense, bright glow.
This was a top-notch Immortal Treasure that had been ignited at its essence, burning fiercely.
Thwack!
A disciple of the Three Emperors Alliance who was blocking the perimeter was pierced by the blade light, his body exploding into dust.
The blade light didn’t stop, continuing to stab towards Zhao Tianxia.
Zhao Tianxia’s eyes narrowed; he sensed a crisis emanating from the blade light.
This was an attack from an existence on the same level as him.
Without time to think, Zhao Tianxia turned around and struck with full force.
In his palm, the silhouette of a metallic palace faintly emerged.
Boom!
The blade light shattered, dissipating into a rain of light that vanished in the sky.
Zhao Tianxia’s figure also trembled, staggering backward.
Lu Lingxuan seized this opportunity to try and break through the encirclement.
"Lu Lingxuan, don’t even think about escaping," Zhao Tianxia growled. His right foot glowed with a bronze light, stomping fiercely as the ground exploded. He lunged towards Lu Lingxuan, throwing a punch with the shadow of the metal palace suppressing her as it emerged.
Shen Shengming also exerted full force to open his domain, enveloping all directions to stop Lu Lingxuan from escaping.
Wounded, Lu Lingxuan ultimately couldn’t break free from the encirclement.
But at that moment, a streak of lightning shot forth.
This bolt of lightning was none other than Lu Yan transformed.
"Stop him," barked Shen Shengming.
Immediately, more than a dozen figures lunged at Lu Yan.
Among them, there were two with Innate Magic Bodies.
Two overlapping domains expanded rapidly, attempting to engulf Lu Yan within.
"Scram," Lu Yan shouted lowly, as seven soul spikes scattered and flew out, piercing into the sea of consciousness of the seven experts rushing at him.
Ahh...
A few with lower Cultivation Levels retreated with screams, faces contorted with pain; their souls wounded, almost exploding.
Even the two with Innate Magic Bodies trembled violently, their domain powers weakened.
As he launched the soul spikes, Lu Yan unleashed a fusion of four rules, and the Heavenly Punishment Blade slashed out.
Boom, boom!
The domains of the two with Innate Magic Bodies exploded, and they stumbled back, coughing up blood.
Lu Yan paid no attention to these people and continued, charging at Zhao Tianxia with his palm slashing down like a blade.
Zhao Tianxia could only give up on Lu Lingxuan and turn to meet the attack.
Boom!
A loud bang resonated; Lu Yan and Zhao Tianxia both staggered backward.
"It’s you..."
Upon recognizing Lu Yan, Zhao Tianxia’s eyes widened in shock, a mix of surprise and anger.
He hadn’t expected the high-level expert who appeared to be on his level to be Lu Yan.
"Kill!"
Lu Yan roared, his power boiling as he surged towards Zhao Tianxia.
Zhao Tianxia’s body, with Five Stars Connected Pearls, displayed five types of miracles.
Leg, waist, spine, palm, and head each joined with a miracle, the five miracles interconnecting and promoting each other in a continuous loop, enhancing his strength to the extreme, far surpassing someone with only four miracles.
Boom, boom, boom!
The two exchanged blows relentlessly, clashing over a dozen times in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yan’s hands tingled with numbness, and he was inwardly shocked.
Zhao Tianxia’s combat power was stronger than that of Sword Saint Situ, even capable of contending with Lu Lingxuan when she used the Rule of Immortal Strength.
Merely in terms of strength, in a head-on fight, Lu Yan was still at a disadvantage.
However, Lu Yan’s real trump card was his soul.
His Primordial Spirit shone, and his robust soul power formed seven soul spikes targeting Zhao Tianxia.
