Chapter 723: Chapter 722: The Soul of a True Immortal
As soon as the words of the ring’s elder finished, Liu Zheng’s attack arrived.
He threw a slap directly at his opponent.
Seeing this, Qian Yu’s entire body broke out in sweat, and he subconsciously counterattacked.
However, this was not a clash of equal powers.
Qian Yu’s palm instantly exploded into a mist of blood.
Flee!
Qian Yu didn’t dare to continue the fight and hastily executed a secret technique to escape.
The space here had been sealed, and he couldn’t use his Void Physique to flee.
But the space that was sealed was only in front of him; it was different in other places.
Thus, if he left this area, he would be able to use his Void Physique to escape.
"Hehe, quite good at running away."
Liu Zheng frowned slightly, although the space had been sealed, Qian Yu’s speed was not slow.
In the blink of an eye, he had already run a thousand meters.
"This is really troublesome!"
Liu Zheng muttered to himself, then reached out with his palm.
"Spatial Shift!"
The next second, a terrifying force erupted, accompanied by dazzling divine light.
A thousand meters away, Qian Yu suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.
He saw a flickering light around him, a force he was all too familiar with.
This was the power of space.
The first thing Qian Yu tried to do was to use his spatial secret technique.
"Don’t!"
The ring’s elder suddenly grew anxious, shouting loudly.
Unfortunately, it was too late; the moment Qian Yu used his spatial power, he was transported directly in front of Liu Zheng.
"What’s happening?"
Qian Yu was dumbfounded. Hadn’t he used his spatial power to leave?
How had he appeared in front of this guy?
"When you used your spatial power, he did too. You can’t beat him."
The ring’s elder said with a bitter smile.
Qian Yu was instantly filled with regret.
Almost immediately, Liu Zheng swung his palm down, as if he intended to annihilate Qian Yu there and then.
"Let me handle this. If I don’t step in, you’re as good as dead."
"Sadly, my power can’t last for long. It just depends on how long I’ll have to sleep this time."
The ring’s elder stood guard with a look of helplessness, then took possession of Qian Yu’s body.
In that instant, a powerful force burst forth.
The speed wasn’t fast, but it was incredibly terrifying.
Almost at the same moment, Qing Lian layman and Hu Qianxin both rushed over.
"The aura on him has changed, is this? The ring’s elder taking possession?"
Feeling the energy around Qian Yu’s body, Liu Zheng was reminded of the trashy novels he had read before.
The protagonist with the ring would always have an old grandfather, who would come out to help in times of danger.
Clearly, the case was the same with this Qian Yu.
"This aura, this is no ordinary elder. Why do I feel a trace of a True Immortal’s fluctuation?"
The True Immortal’s fluctuation was very faint, but Liu Zheng still felt it. This soul’s level was stronger than that of an emperor.
Could this be the soul of a True Immortal?
Liu Zheng’s eyes shimmered with a sharp light as he immediately put distance between himself and the shifting presence.
Subsequently, the Qi and Lotus Immortal and Hu Qianxin directly positioned themselves in front of him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the two of them arrived in front of Liu Zheng, their aura also burst forth instantly, startling all beings on the planet.
Even Quasi-Emperors looked on with faces filled with horror.
This was no longer a battle at the level of Quasi-Emperors.
"Who exactly is it?"
The divinations of the strong congregated in the void, searching everywhere for the source of the power.
When they saw the Qi and Lotus Immortal dressed in white, their expressions changed.
The Divine King’s Physique, a person from the Demon God Temple.
The previous great battle between Xiang Batian and the Qi and Lotus Immortal was almost universally known.
Within a short period of time, it had spread across the entire Dao Realm; even mortals knew his name.
These top powerhouses were bound to be aware of it.
"Who on earth is the Qi and Lotus Immortal confronting?"
"It seems to be a young man, but this young man is quite strange, as if a strong entity has taken over his body."
"This soul is no simple matter, no weaker than the Qi and Lotus Immortal. Who could it be?"
"Could it be another fully developed Supreme Physique?"
The strong beings’ gazes flickered, their discernment incredibly keen, almost immediately realizing that a strong entity occupied Qian Yu’s body.
At this moment, Liu Zheng stared at Qian Yu, opening his Void Eyes, with golden light twinkling within them.
Through Liu Zheng’s eyes, Qian Yu’s every move, even the soul atop his body, was clearly visible.
At this time, in the recesses of Qian Yu’s mind, Qian Yu’s soul hid in a corner, beside which stood an elderly figure.
This old man wore a black robe, his face withered, eyes gleaming with sharp light, clearly not in a good state, with black energy flickering on his body.
This black energy was terrifying, continuously corroding the old man’s body.
"This is not a True Immortal, the aura is off. It should be somewhere between an Emperor Level and a True Immortal."
"He must have been corrupted by this black energy while injured, causing his realm to begin sliding backward."
"This black energy must have been left by an even stronger being, which is why the elder couldn’t counter it."
"Moreover, this black energy is still growing. Right now, the elder could barely hang on, but if more black energy were to accumulate, the elder would be finished."
The Void Eyes conveyed all the information about the old man to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng roughly understood the old man’s situation. To put it simply, the old man was quite pitiable. He should have been from the Celestial Realm, just a step away from entering the True Immortal realm, but regrettably, he was corrupted by this black energy and ultimately failed to take that step.
His effective power was only in between that of an Emperor Level and a True Immortal.
"This guy’s soul is still quite weak, and it’s also entangled by the black energy, unable to exert much strength."
"If it’s only an Emperor Level soul, then perhaps it’s not so frightening."
Liu Zheng’s eyes gleamed sharply, ceaselessly analyzing the old man’s strength. If it truly were a True Immortal, even just a soul could destroy heaven and earth.
The Qi and Lotus Immortal might be strong, but he wouldn’t be able to contend.
Maybe with the aid of his future self, plus the power of the Void Physique, he could put up a fight.
However, using the future self too much would cause significant backlash.
Now that he understood the old man’s situation, Liu Zheng wasn’t worried anymore.
A soul above Emperor Level could at best display the power of an Emperor, and the Qi and Lotus Immortal was already enough.
"Qi and Lotus, you capture this guy for me."
"Hu Qianxin, you should come back. This battle is not something you can participate in," Liu Zheng said directly.
Hu Qianxin opened her mouth as if to say something but, upon seeing the piercing look in Liu Zheng’s eyes, she ultimately closed her mouth.
At the same time, she felt extremely puzzled, wondering why she should listen to this youngster.
Although Liu Zheng held a revered position in the Demon God Temple, she was a Quasi-Emperor, after all. Logically, it should be Liu Zheng who feared her.
