Chapter 633: Chapter 608: Lu Yan Battles True One
Yuan Tiandao’s eyes were blood-red, as he recondensed the All Things Furnace and launched it at Lu Yan.
Unfortunately, his dual constitutions of All-Origin and Origin were always difficult to perfectly integrate, leaving flaws and a sense of fissure.
Although that sense of fissure was extremely subtle and fleeting, other cultivators at the third step of the Creator Realm would not possibly have been able to detect it.
Even if it were detected, under Yuan Tiandao’s formidable power, there would have been no chance to counterattack.
But before Lu Yan, this was a fatal flaw.
If he did not utilize the Origin-Ancestor Body and only used the All-Origin Body, he would be even less of a match for Lu Yan.
Boom!
Lu Yan accurately struck the weakness, shattering Yuan Tiandao’s attack, and with a relentless assault, forced Yuan Tiandao to retreat while spitting blood.
Yuan Tiandao was frenzied with hatred.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yan launched a fierce offensive.
Other powerhouses at the third step of the Creator Realm rushed to assist, but Lu Yan ignored them, letting their attacks fall on him as he tenaciously focused on assaulting Yuan Tiandao.
Puh!
Lu Yan’s palm struck Yuan Tiandao’s skull, cleaving off half his head and nearly hitting his Primordial Spirit.
Finally, Yuan Tiandao was chilled to the bone with fear, and he thought about retreating.
Self-destructing the All Things Furnace, he then retreated frantically.
But this time, Lu Yan locked onto him tightly, pursuing him relentlessly.
Puh!
After a few moves, Yuan Tiandao’s chest was pierced, his heart smashed to pieces.
"Origin Overturn, block for me."
Yuan Tiandao roared, connecting with the Origin Continent, as the entire land undulated like flowing water, with endless amounts of soil, rocks, and mountain peaks rising from the ground and pressing towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan didn’t slow down; he rushed forward, breaking through the endless stones, dirt, and mountains.
Meanwhile, Yuan Tiandao took the chance to dive into the earth, merging with the Origin Continent and disappearing into the depths of the ground.
Lu Yan struck several blows, creating terrifying deep pits in the earth, but he could never capture Yuan Tiandao’s trace.
"The Origin-Ancestor Body is indeed an embodiment of the Origin Continent; as long as it is on the Origin Continent, it’s indeed difficult to kill."
Lu Yan’s expression turned cold before he suddenly turned and charged towards a master of the Origin Dynasty. After a few moves, he killed the master, and the Supreme Treasure fell into his hands.
"Yuan Tiandao, you just keep hiding like a turtle. If you hide, I will kill all the masters of your Origin Dynasty and flatten the Origin Imperial Capital..."
Lu Yan shouted loudly, his voice traveling far and wide, even penetrating the rocks, reaching the depths below.
"Audacious..."
Just then, a cold shout came from The sky’s Vault, like thunder exploding and causing the whole world to tremble violently.
As the voice arose, rivers of Magic River surged in The sky’s Vault, casting scintillating halos of light; faintly, melodious sounds could be heard coming from within the rivers of magic.
It was the sound of the Magic River trembling, as if in song.
At the same time, within the boundless starry sky, countless stars twinkled, and streamers of starlight traveled immense distances, converging towards the Origin Continent, toward a particular direction.
At this very moment, the skies of the Origin Continent were filled with countless colorful clouds, and numerous milky raindrops fell from above.
Upon the land, golden lotuses bloomed and danced into the air.
Countless beings suffering from diseases, upon being touched by the milky raindrops, were instantly cured of their serious illnesses and chronic diseases.
Some cultivators, upon whom the golden lotuses descended, immediately shone with spiritual light and experienced breakthroughs in their cultivation levels.
"Celestial nectar descends, Earth-Sprung Golden Lotuses bloom, someone has broken through to the True One State, someone has made it to True One!"
Some of the cultivators at the third step of the Creator Realm exclaimed in shock and envy upon seeing this scene.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts shook violently.
A breakthrough to True One would always be accompanied by strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.
And the current phenomena signified that someone had broken through to True One.
Who could it be?
Definitely not Tang Feng.
Because Tang Feng was still within the Sword Cocoon.
Boom!
At this moment, a supremely powerful aura burst forth from the Origin Imperial Capital, enveloping the entire Origin Continent instantly.
"Yuan Wanggu..."
Yuan Tiandao’s figure burst from the ground, looking into the distance with shock and joy mingled on his face.
Boom!
The next instant, this supremely powerful aura swirled over everyone’s heads.
Space cracked open, and a war halberd coalesced, slashing down towards Lu Yan with an unstoppable force.
It was a True One making a move.
The terrifying presence had firmly locked onto Lu Yan.
"True One Realm!"
Lu Yan looked up to the sky, his eyes flashing with a dense fighting spirit.
So what if it was True One?
Today, he intended to meet the challenge head-on.
He gripped the Desolate Ancient Seven Extermination Blade in both hands, insane power pouring into it before he surged upward, unleashing an earth-shattering slash.
Boom!
The blade’s light met the war halberd in the sky, causing a thunderous roar that seemed to make the entire Origin Continent tremble slightly. For a hundred thousand miles around, space itself was wholly reduced to nothingness, a dark abyss.
Lu Yan’s body tumbled down swiftly, landing heavily on the ground, crushing a mountain range tens of thousands of miles long beneath his feet, causing the ground to cave in.
And that war halberd flew back, landing in the hands of a person.
This person was none other than Yuan Wanggu.
Now, Yuan Wanggu had become much stronger than before, his breath was profound, and he was so oppressive that no one could catch their breath.
"Yuan Wanggu, it is indeed Yuan Wanggu, he has made a breakthrough, stepping into the True One."
"He has been honing at the pinnacle of the third step of the Creator Realm for endless ages and has long since grasped the prototype of the Supreme Law; his breakthrough is not a surprise."
"Now that the other True Ones have left, he is the only True One, an invincible existence."
"This time, the Dragon Alliance must be destroyed."
In the shadows, many strong figures from different powers discussed.
Some neutral powers now began to ponder whether they should come forward to help the Origin Dynasty."
Meanwhile, the hearts of the Dragon Alliance’s strong warriors sank.
Yuan Wanggu stood high in the sky, looking down with indifference and supremacy, like a deity overlooking the mortal world, and said, "Lu Yan, isn’t it? You managed to defeat the heavenly way and fend off an attack from this emperor ancestor with some skill. I will behead you and place your head in the Origin Imperial Palace to immortalize your fame."
"Hahaha, you think you’re qualified? Today, I shall see just how much weight the newly risen True One carries."
Lu Yan laughed heartily, holding the blade with one hand as he pointed at Yuan Wanggu from afar.
Bragging and talking big, who can’t do that?
Yuan Wanggu’s face grew colder, and killing intent surged in the air.
Whoosh!
Yuan Wanggu’s figure suddenly vanished from where he stood, reappearing above Lu Yan’s head, his purple-gold halberd coming down like Mount Tai, aimed at Lu Yan’s head.
Lu Yan was unafraid. He channeled the power from his entire body and swung the Desolate Ancient Seven Extermination Blade to meet the attack head-on.
Clang!
The collision between the two released terrifying sound waves that made it difficult for those close by in the third step of the Creator Realm to endure, forcing them to retreat continuously.
The ground beneath Lu Yan shattered with him at the center, spreading countless cracks in all directions.
Innumerable massive stones, weighing millions to tens of millions of pounds, were sent flying in all directions.
But his figure, erect and unyielding like a mountain, did not move an inch, steadfastly blocking Yuan Wanggu’s attack.
Yuan Wanggu’s gaze turned icy cold, incredibly frigid.
"Thousandfold Heavenly Halberd."
A deep roar burst from Yuan Wanggu as he gripped the purple-gold halberd with both hands, launching a frenzied assault and instantly striking thirty-six times.
Lu Yan blocked with all his might.
Eventually, all thirty-six strikes were blocked by Lu Yan.
Just as Yuan Wanggu was about to deliver the thirty-seventh strike, the Holy Light Divine Mountain burst from Lu Yan’s brow, colliding with the purple-gold halberd. Lu Yan took the opportunity to retreat swiftly, escaping Yuan Wanggu’s attack range and shot up into the sky, standing high and facing Yuan Wanggu from afar.
"Yuan Wanggu, is this the extent of your strength? This is the power of the True One State? I’m afraid it’s quite disappointing."
Lu Yan shook his head, his face full of mockery.
The surrounding onlookers inhaled sharply, utterly astonished.
Lu Yan was actually able to stand up to Yuan Wanggu head-on, to confront a True One directly—such a feat was unheard of in ancient times.
In history, there had never been a case where someone in the Creator Realm could go to war with a True One.
The gap between the Creator Realm and the True One State is insurmountably vast.
No matter how strong your talent, no matter how dazzlingly brilliant you are as a peerless genius, you can only dominate among your peers but cannot fight above your level against a True One.
But now, it has happened.
"Yuan Wanggu, allow me to lend you a hand and together we’ll kill Lu Yan."
Yuan Tiandao stepped forward, sending a telepathic message to Yuan Wanggu.
"Get lost, do you really think I can’t kill Lu Yan? I can kill Lu Yan by myself," Yuan Wanggu snarled, giving no quarter.
At that moment, his face twisted somewhat, his killing intent peaking.
The very idea that he, a dignified True One, couldn’t defeat someone from the Creator Realm, was a humiliation so great it was unbearable.
How could he accept help from someone else?
He was determined to personally slay Lu Yan.
Boom!
The aura emanating from Yuan Wanggu became even more terrifying, wisps of blood qi diffusing into the air, swirling around him.
The purple-gold halberd, too, carried strands of blood qi.
Lu Yan’s expression grew solemn.
Clearly, Yuan Wanggu had not been exerting his full strength in his previous moves.
"Kill!"
Without hesitation, Lu Yan made the first move to gain the upper hand, attacking first.
He stimulated the Holy Light Divine Mountain, emitting rays of radiant light, pressing down towards Yuan Wanggu.
Though Lu Yan had only recently obtained the Holy Light Divine Mountain, in his hands, the power it unleashed was even stronger than in the hands of that Light Clan’s powerhouse.
To activate a Supreme Treasure, not only do you require vast amounts of Creator power, but you also need a potent spirit.
The greater the intrinsic Creator power and spirit, the stronger the power that the Supreme Treasure can unleash.
Therefore, a Supreme Treasure in the hands of someone in the Creator Realm and someone in the True One State had dramatically different levels of power.
Generally, a cultivator at the third step of the Creator Realm could only stimulate one Supreme Treasure.
It’s not that they couldn’t use two, but by doing so, the power would actually decrease, not being as effective as just one.
Unless the two treasures complement each other, such as one for offense and one for defense.
But this was not an issue for Lu Yan at all.
His fusion with the Tao One Law rendered his internal power vast and inexhaustible.
And his spirit was even stronger.
Two articles were no problem, even three or four, or even more—it was all easy for him.
As the Holy Light Divine Mountain launched its assault, Lu Yan, one with the blade, exerted full power deploying ’Sky Cleaver’, ripping through the void and slashing at Yuan Wanggu.
"Overestimating oneself."
Yuan Wanggu snorted coldly, blocking the Holy Light Divine Mountain with a punch from his left hand, while his right hand wielding the purple-gold halberd struck with all his might.
With a thud, Lu Yan felt a surge of powerful force incoming and couldn’t help but drift backward.
