Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 1153 - 1162: Invisible Danger
It can be said that his Heaven and Earth Sword Skill has undergone a qualitative improvement.
Previously, he needed to rely on the Transformation Sword Skill to elevate the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill to the level of an Immortal Sword Technique.
Now he no longer needs to rely on any other means.
Chu Feng was astonished to discover that the newly learned techniques of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, as well as the Sword Intent, had a marvelous similarity to the Qiankun Sword Technique elevated to the Immortal Level through the Transformation Sword Skill.
Previously, the Immortal Qiankun Sword Technique he performed ultimately relied on other sword skills, propelled by transformation. Only then did it reach the standard of the Immortal Level.
It was akin to a fleeting moment, incapable of lasting long.
Moreover, it greatly constrained Chu Feng's understanding of the swordsmanship.
The stage was only that big, and development was naturally limited.
Now it's different, having obtained the true inheritance of the Immortal Qiankun Sword Technique, it's like stepping onto a grand stage. He can now comprehend the Immortal Qiankun Sword Technique without any limitations or obstacles.
Chu Feng felt that he had stepped into a brand new world of Sword Dao.
Previously, it was like swimming in a river, but now he has entered the vast ocean.
Some Sword Dao Laws that were previously incomprehensible, and places of confusion, have all been easily resolved. He immersed himself in it, and his strength also progressed rapidly.
Gradually, the Great Sun Sword Soul above his head also began to change.
It unexpectedly turned into a sun and a moon, two elements that continuously rotated, forming a Taiji pattern.
Compared to the individual Moon Sword Soul or Sun Sword Soul, it was more than ten times superior.
Just like humans, it's hard to stand steadily on one foot, but with two feet, one can stand firm, even run quickly. Or perform other difficult actions like kicking.
Chu Feng's current Sword Soul, with both sun and moon present, and Yin and Yang rotating, became as stable as a mountain.
The other three Sword Souls also regarded it as the chief.
As if they were three satellites revolving around a main star.
"Merge!"
The time was ripe, and Chu Feng actually manipulated his Taiji Sword Soul to slowly merge into the Sword Domain.
This process was very slow and extremely challenging.
On his forehead, a layer of fine sweat could be seen seeping out.
"Pop~!"
With a low muffled sound, the Taiji Sword Soul finally merged into the Sword Domain.
With its merging, Chu Feng's Sword Domain immediately began to change, spinning rapidly. The Taiji Sword Soul directly transformed into the sun and moon, illuminating the mountains and rivers, nourishing all things.
The nine Sword Dao Laws within the entire Sword Domain began to develop from virtual to real.
The sun shone upon the earth, making all things grow. The moon nourished heaven and earth, breeding all creatures.
A sprout of grass within the Sword Domain sprouted, its leaves tender and green, full of vigorous life. Slowly, a real woodland began to appear.
Unlike the previous illusion, now everything was real vegetation, becoming the first solidified part of the Sword Domain.
A faint mist rose, gathering in the sky to become a mass of dark clouds.
Whoosh whoosh!
Rain fell from the clouds onto the ground. In a low-lying area, a pool of water slowly formed.
From sand to a tower, from water to a river.
This was a genuine pond. Though not large, as Chu Feng evolved the Sword Domain, an ephemera creature appeared within the pond.
The ephemera kept swimming, slowly growing larger.
Then it laid a group of offspring and quickly perished.
Born in the morning, dying in the evening, this is the true portrayal of the ephemera.
It also became the first real living creature in Chu Feng's Sword Domain. This was the birth of a level of life.
The offspring of the ephemera kept growing and evolving. They replaced one generation after another. Eventually, the first small fish appeared in that pond.
Chu Feng's Sword Domain was also developing better and better.
Evolving more realistically and reasonably, starting to align with a real world.
The nine Sword Dao Laws he comprehended—gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and lightning, darkness, light—constantly alternated and evolved, becoming more and more profound.
Chu Feng's cultivation was also constantly improving.
After ascending to the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God, the next step was to impact the Earth Immortal Realm.
Transforming from a mortal to an immortal, this is an upgrade in the level of life, so it is extremely challenging.
The multicolored light emitted from the coffin had never ceased, continuously shooting towards Chu Feng, enveloping him within. The energy contained in this multicolored light was exceptionally advanced.
Even more effective than the Sword Bodhi.
Originally, after being ambushed by Ye Wu, Chu Feng's heart was shattered, and his vitality had long been severed. It was by relying on the nourishment of the multicolored light that he gradually restored his vitality.
Moreover, with the help of the multicolored light sphere, Chu Feng's cultivation speed could only be described as monstrous.
Truly advancing in leaps and bounds, progressing rapidly.
First, quickly stabilizing the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God Realm, then beginning to fully comprehend the Sword Dao and deduce the nine laws. Step by step, pushing his cultivation to the peak of the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God.
Next, he should comprehend the Sword Dao, guide the Primordial Qi of heaven and earth, temper his body, and build the Sword Immortal Body.
Although it sounds simple, there are not many people on the entire Divine Martial Continent who can reach this step.
With enough accumulation of millions of years, there are not even a thousand strong at the Earth Immortal Realm. It shows how difficult it is to reach this realm.
On the path of cultivation, below the Sword Saint Level, every step is a staircase, but after reaching the Sword Saint Level, each realm is a chasm.
...
Inside the mausoleum chamber, Chu Feng was crazily cultivating and improving his cultivation. Meanwhile, in the main tomb room outside, a battle was already raging fiercely.
The strength of the seven Ghost Kings was incredibly formidable, and coupled with their ghost bodies' ability to freely condense and disperse, even if they were cut into countless pieces, they could still quickly recombine.
Chief Clerk Feihong, Ye Yanying, and Blind Chang's cultivation was profound, and their strength was formidable, so their situation was relatively favorable.
However, their subordinates and other experts weren't as fortunate.
There were constant deaths caused by the Ghost Kings, who devoured their victims directly.
The mutated Zuo Mjun, riding a massive black turtle, was also continuously searching for targets. Those ghosts seemed to fear him a great deal.
Each time a human expert was struck or captured by a ghost and was about to be devoured, Zuo Mjun would rush over instantly and snatch the prey. Then he would suck them dry like a zombie, leaving only a desiccated corpse.
Zuo Mjun even ate ghosts several times.
With each expert or Ghost General he devoured, Zuo Mjun's strength would increase slightly.
Guan Sui's situation was dire; her strength was not particularly strong. Although she possessed the Nine Yin Supreme Sword Vein, she was without support, and the ghosts, Ye Yanying, and others were all extremely hostile towards her.
Whenever there was an opportunity, they would attack her.
They wanted to kill her.
If not for Chang Erliu wanting to capture her alive, she might have already been killed.
With the death of Vice Cave Master Qi Jue of the Extreme Cold Cave, the other two female disciples turned to Ye Yanying.
Unfortunately, though they had beautiful appearances and decent figures, what kind of person was Ye Yanying? Colder and more ruthless than a wolf.
He could abandon even Ye Wu, his own niece, without hesitation.
How could he make any sacrifice for these two?
Facing the Ghost King's pursuit, Ye Yanying found it hard to even protect himself, especially against the terrifying attacks of Granny Meng and the Fan-holding Ghost King.
In such a situation, Ye Yanying naturally prioritized his own life.
One of the beauties from Extreme Cold Cave, who had turned to him, was used as a shield during a dangerous moment and was instantly killed by the Fan-holding Ghost King.
The other, unfortunately, was caught by Zuo Mjun. No matter how much she pleaded for help from Ye Yanying, he merely coldly focused on escaping, ignoring her.
In no time at all, that beauty from the Extreme Cold Cave met her end.
Before dying, they realized one thing while looking at Guan Sui, who was still alive and well.
In hindsight, they would have been better off, like Guan Sui, relying on no one and trying to escape with their own skills.
Perhaps, they wouldn't have had to die.
"Blind Chang, attack!"
Ye Yanying suddenly shouted to Blind Chang.
The two simultaneously attacked Chief Clerk Feihong, intending to kill him.
Perhaps Ye Yanying and Blind Chang believed that obtaining the Qiankun Sword Emperor's inheritance was hopeless. Staying here meant certain death, so they thought it better to first find a way to escape.
However, before escaping, they must eliminate experts like Chief Clerk Feihong, who were not on their side.
Chief Clerk Feihong was their primary target.
"Hmph, you two think you can kill me? Dream on!"
Chief Clerk Feihong unleashed a very peculiar treasure, a blood-colored humanoid jade.
He bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the blood-colored humanoid jade.
Buzz~!
The jade immediately glowed with dazzling blood radiance, and the runes engraved on it began to flow rapidly.
Then, it abruptly exploded, merging a mass of blood radiance into Chief Clerk Feihong's body.
Boom!
Chief Clerk Feihong seemed possessed by a war god, instantly growing over a foot taller, turning into a small giant. A red battle flame appeared on the surface of his body.
His momentum soared.
Facing the combined assault of Ye Yanying and Blind Chang, Chief Clerk Feihong slashed explosively at Ye Yanying with his sword.
He hated Ye Yanying the most.
Because Ye Yanying was bent on eliminating him, killing him to silence him.
"Damn, why are you gunning for me!" Ye Yanying's face changed dramatically, and without a second thought, he used an Immortal Defense Talisman.
This was a Golden Talisman Elixir.
Upon use, a circular shield immediately enveloped him.
Gleaming golden, it was identical to the legendary Golden Bell Shield.
Boom!
Chief Clerk Feihong's sword light carried a touch of enchanting blood color as well.
It struck Ye Yanying's Golden Bell Shield fiercely.
Bang!
This was a protective cover formed by an Immortal Defense Talisman, capable of withstanding a full-force blow from an Upper Earth Immortal without breaking.
However, at this moment, Chief Clerk Feihong managed to slice it apart.
Like porcelain, it shattered into countless pieces on the spot.
After the shield shattered, Ye Yanying was terrified out of his wits, pale and shell-shocked. In haste, he summoned a magic shield to block.
However, Chief Clerk Feihong's desperate sword was terrifyingly powerful.
It sliced his magic shield away, then, amidst Ye Yanying's horrified expression, it struck him hard.
Bang!
"Ah..."
Ye Yanying screamed, flying backward. Before he landed, he used another Immortal Defense Talisman.
His worry, though, was unnecessary.
Because Blind Chang, who teamed up with him, had already struck Chief Clerk Feihong with his sword light.
Blind Chang, an Upper Earth Immortal who had comprehended the Sword Dao, delivered this strike with tremendous power. It directly severed one of Chief Clerk Feihong's arms.
Severely injured, Chief Clerk Feihong hurriedly retreated, desperately trying to escape.
"Gah gah gah!"
Suddenly, Zuo Mjun and the black Xuan Turtle attacked simultaneously. Perhaps he had planned this all along, intending to take advantage of the situation.
Chief Clerk Feihong, fleeing, was woeful. Caught by the green light shot from Zuo Mjun's eyes, he paused momentarily.
It was less than a second's pause, and the black Xuan Turtle bit down on his neck.
Zuo Mjun immediately went for the kill, savagely devouring him.
This was an Upper Earth Immortal.
And Zuo Mjun's miserable state as neither human nor ghost was all because of Chief Clerk Feihong. His hatred for Chief Clerk Feihong was immense.
