Immortality Cultivation

Chapter 265: Fierce Battle with the Nascent Soul Ancestor

Ahead, the black silhouette of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, like a ferocious beast, was already in sight; the rolling mountain ridges radiated an Aura of chaos, danger, and an inexplicable attraction.

It was a paradise for fugitives, outlaws, evil cultivators, and Demon Beasts, as well as an excellent place to hide.

However, a distance of a hundred feet was far too close for an enraged Nascent Soul Ancestor!

The cyan sword Aura tearing through the sky behind him, carrying the Sun Family Old Ancestor’s will to kill and the full force of the Early Nascent Soul Stage, instantly traversed the space, its sharp Aura of death stinging the skin on Fang Hao’s back and making every hair on his body stand on end!

This sword strike was unavoidable!

"Damn it, you old dog! Do you really think this young master is made of clay?!"

In this desperate situation, the ferocity in Fang Hao’s bones was completely ignited!

Running away was to survive, but when there was no escape, there was only one choice—fight to the death!

A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he slammed his palm onto the silver light shuttle; this third-grade Magical Artifact, which had accompanied him on his flight for so long, let out a mournful cry, its spiritual light fading completely as it plummeted downward.

Leveraging the force of that strike, Fang Hao’s figure shot forward like a cannonball toward the edge of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, narrowly avoiding the massive sword Aura that brushed past him by a hair’s breadth!

The aftermath of the sword Aura swept across his back, instantly shredding his clothes and revealing the skin underneath, which shimmered with a jade-like luster but was also slashed with a deep, bloody wound!

Even the formidable Physical Body of the third level of the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Art could not withstand the enraged strike of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator!

Pfft! Fang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered, but he forced himself to hold his breath, stabilized himself in mid-air, turned around, and faced the rapidly approaching Sun Family Old Ancestor.

"Brat, die!" Seeing Fang Hao finally stop, the Sun Family Old Ancestor’s face twisted into a ferocious expression; he guided his sword finger, and the cyan-glowing Flying Sword hummed once more, ready to launch an even more violent attack.

In his eyes, Fang Hao was at the end of his rope, and stopping meant waiting for death.

However, his response was the cold flames burning in Fang Hao’s eyes and a low roar: "Old Jin, hold him off!"

Hum—!

Golden light flashed again! That tall, majestic, burly Puppet with dark gold, red-scaled armor covering its chest appeared out of thin air in front of Fang Hao like the most loyal guard; without any hesitation, it stepped into the Void Realm with both feet, creating a dull sonic boom, transformed into a bolt of golden lightning, and took the initiative to pounce on the Sun Family Old Ancestor!

Those eyes, flashing with red light, locked firmly onto the target as a heavy fist slammed out once more, remaining simple, direct, and filled with explosive power!

"A mere Puppet dares to block me a second time? Break for me!" The Sun Family Old Ancestor was furious; he had already felt a great loss of face after being blocked by this Puppet earlier.

Seeing it appear again, his killing intent burned even hotter; the cyan light of the Flying Sword in his hand surged, transforming into a ten-zhang-long heaven-shocking sword rainbow, and without holding back, he slashed fiercely at "Old Jin"!

He wanted to split this annoying piece of scrap metal in two with a single strike!

"Old Jin" still did not dodge or evade; it crossed its arms, the runes on its dark gold, red-scaled armor flashing rapidly, preparing to take the hit head-on once again!

"Now is the time!" Just as the Sun Family Old Ancestor’s attention was completely drawn by "Old Jin" and the Flying Sword was descending, Fang Hao, who had been standing perfectly still, moved!

He gripped the Void Realm with his right hand, and a giant axe—ancient, heavy, dark gold throughout, with cold light flowing along the blade and exuding an Aura of endless desolation and dominance—suddenly appeared in his hand! It was none other than the "battle heaven axe"!

As the battle axe entered his hand, a violent Battle Intent, connected by Bloodline and capable of tearing heaven and earth apart, instantly washed away all the fatigue and pain in Fang Hao’s body!

His entire spiritual power, like floodwaters from a breached dam, surged madly into the battle axe! With his cultivation nearing Perfected Golden Core, combined with a thick spiritual power far exceeding those of the same rank, the "battle heaven axe" emitted an excited hum, and the nine cracked patterns on the axe body suddenly lit up with dazzling blood-red light!

"Old dog! Take my axe!"

Fang Hao’s eyes were bloodshot, his hair stood up without wind, and his Aura erupted with a roar, instantly soaring to a level that made one’s heart tremble!

Gripping the axe with both hands, he used all his strength, not to chop or slash toward the Sun Family Old Ancestor, but to—sweep!

Sweeping the Army! This was the simplest and most domineering battle technique that came with the "battle heaven axe"! No need for flashiness, only power and Battle Intent!

A dark golden, crescent-shaped axe light roared out from the "battle heaven axe"!

The axe light was initially only about a zhang long, but after leaving the battle axe, it grew against the wind, instantly transforming into a terrifying ribbon of light dozens of zhang long!

Wherever it passed, the air let out unbearable explosions, and the space seemed to ripple; the rocks and trees at the edge of the Black Dragon Mountain Range below were silently reduced to powder just by the wind at the edge of the axe light sweeping past!

This axe strike drained nearly half of Fang Hao’s spiritual power and consumed most of the Divine Soul power he had just recovered! But its power was equally earth-shattering! This was a heaven-shocking blow that surpassed the Golden Core level and touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul!

At this moment, the Sun Family Old Ancestor’s pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!

The sword rainbow he had slashed at "Old Jin" collided fiercely with "Old Jin’s" arms, erupting into a deafening roar and a blinding ball of light.

But most of his attention was locked onto this sudden, domineering axe strike from Fang Hao!

He felt a fatal threat from that dark golden axe light! It was a terrifying will—ancient, vast, and as if it could split through all obstacles! This brat actually had such a trump card?!

"Bastard!" The Sun Family Old Ancestor was shocked and angry; he had not expected Fang Hao to be able to unleash such a terrifying attack while severely injured.

At this moment, his old force had just been spent (the sword strike at "Old Jin"), and his new force had not yet been generated; facing this heaven-shocking axe light sweeping across his waist, he actually felt the shadow of death!

He roared wildly, no longer caring about holding back, and the cyan light around his body surged madly; an ancient, cyan, tortoise-shell-shaped shield instantly appeared at his side, spinning and enlarging to block the direction from which the axe light was attacking.

At the same time, he forced his body to twist, retracted the Flying Sword in his hand, and set up layers upon layers of cyan sword curtains in front of him!

Boom—!!!

First, the Sun Family Old Ancestor’s sword rainbow collided with "Old Jin’s" arms, erupting into the first wave of terrifying energy shockwaves; golden light and cyan light intertwined and exploded. "Old Jin" let out a muffled groan (though Puppets do not make sounds, its spiritual light vibrated violently), the dark gold bones and red scales on its arms cracked with more fine fissures, and its massive body was violently sent flying, crashing into the forest below and plowing out a deep trench.

Immediately afterward, Fang Hao’s dark golden, crescent-shaped axe light slashed fiercely onto the cyan tortoise-shell shield and the layers of sword curtains!

Crack! Pfft!

That high-quality cyan tortoise-shell shield lasted less than a single breath before it let out a mournful cry, its spiritual light completely lost under the domineering axe light, a deep crack splitting it open; it flew backward while wailing and slammed into the Sun Family Old Ancestor, causing his blood and Qi to churn.

The axe light did not lose momentum and slashed fiercely onto the subsequent cyan sword curtains! Like a hot knife through butter, layers of sword curtains were easily torn and shattered!

The Sun Family Old Ancestor’s face turned pale; he felt the terrifying, unstoppable will within the axe light, as if even his Sword Intent were about to be severed!

"Block it for me!" He roared, pouring all his spiritual power madly into the Flying Sword; the sword body emitted an unbearable hum, the cyan light surged, and finally, at the last moment before the dark golden axe light reached his body, he barely managed to hold it off!

Sizzle—!

A teeth-grinding cutting sound rang out, and the cyan and gold lights clashed violently, erupting in blinding brilliance that illuminated half the sky with a pale light.

The terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring, leveling a layer off several small hilltops at the edge of the Black Dragon Mountain Range below!

After a stalemate lasting a full three breaths, the dark golden axe light finally exhausted its power and slowly dissipated into the air.

The Flying Sword in the Sun Family Old Ancestor’s hand had dimmed significantly, and on the sword body, a fine, almost invisible crack had actually appeared!

He himself was shaken, his blood and Qi churning, his throat felt sweet, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth; he drifted backward dozens of zhang before barely stabilizing himself, his face already ashen, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

He had actually been injured by a Golden Core junior! Although it was only a minor injury, and although the axe light had borrowed the power of that strange battle axe, to him, this was simply a huge humiliation!

What shocked him even more was that the Aura emitted by the battle axe made even him feel a trace of trepidation!
