Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 722 - 316: Saint Lu, Who Lacks Martial Morality_2
BOOM!
Thunderous flashes filled the sky!
This bolt of lightning was immensely grand and majestic, spreading across the sky like tidal light, suffocating to behold, as the earth erupted into brilliant hues.
The sweeping thunder disturbed the cloud aura, akin to endlessly rolling dust, layer by layer, pressing down and descending to the earth.
In just an instant, the lightning that landed on the earth scattered like raindrops, bursting forth in all directions, engulfing a radius of ten thousand miles in a flash.
Purple lightning and blue light sped, resembling a whale absorbing a rainbow, so dazzling and brilliant that it illuminated all directions, making it hard for one to open their eyes.
The expedition failed before it began, the army perished first.
Seated on the Dragon Bone Chair, Taishi Chong, surrounded by spiritual power, looked expressionlessly at the army of demons turning to ashes in the thunder, his gaze finally fixed on a youthful figure descending from the sky.
Radiant brilliance, youthful exuberance.
Taishi Chong had seen countless young talents, but the outstanding aura of the young man before him left a deep impression at first glance.
He certainly knew of Lu Jin'an, but this was the first time he had seen him in person.
No wonder he became the number one Heavenly Pride in the Lower Realm, no wonder Zheng Dongliu chose him as a successor...
This single Thunder Technique alone was a powerful Daoist skill even Zheng Dongliu couldn't perform during his Tribulation Crossing Realm.
Taishi Chong looked expressionlessly at Lu Jin'an, relaxing internally after ensuring he was alone.
No Immortals from the Wandao Sect followed; that's good.
The thunder reflected in his pupils gradually fading, on the charred earth, only Lu Jin'an remained not far away.
Clad in white robes embroidered with black and gold patterns, Lu Jin'an, dressed in the Saint's attire of the Wandao Sect, looked at Taishi Chong on the Dragon Bone Throne.
The dark clouds between heaven and earth had long dispersed, the clear sky washed clean, stretching endlessly blue.
Lu Jin'an gazed into Taishi Chong's eyes, realizing the Sect Master of the Wuji Demon Sect, always hidden in the shadows, was not corroded by the Dark Matter of the Southern Great Realm.
After being tossed into the Southern Great Realm, he had already communicated with the cultivators of the Upper Realm.
However, only the Immortal Body remained.
Otherwise, his clothes wouldn't appear charred by lightning.
"Lu Jin'an," Taishi Chong slowly began, "can't even greet me as 'Senior'?"
Pausing, he rose and continued as he descended from the Dragon Bone Throne, "In the past, you, a mere Tribulation Crossing Realm practitioner, were like an ant seeing the sky when meeting me."
"But now, we are the same." Lu Jin'an smiled faintly, "Both ants."
"You are more arrogant than I imagined," Taishi Chong mocked with a laugh, "Even if I have fallen to this realm, my insight is still above the heavens.
Of course, you can boast about your feat of slaying 'Emperor Kong' in the Mist River Cave Heaven, but in my view, it is really insignificant."
"Not to mention the gap between Divine Presence and Divine Concealment, just the chasm between Harmonization and Tribulation Crossing..."
Taishi Chong stopped in his tracks, "You should know how many mysteries are hidden here."
"I know." Lu Jin'an smiled slightly, "But why are your clothes dirty?"
Taishi Chong chuckled noncommittally, "So, you want to kill me?"
"Mainly wish to exchange pointers." Lu Jin'an took out the Netherworld Validation, "After all, there are few worthy opponents for me to go all out."
"Hahaha." Taishi Chong laughed, "Since you sincerely seek guidance from this Demon Sect leader, I will give you some face."
"You talk too much."
"Because I'm stalling for time," Taishi Chong chuckled sinisterly, "Without you, how long can your Junior Brothers and Sisters hold on?"
"You underestimate them." Lu Jin'an no longer wasted words, performing a sword salute, "Please enlighten me."
"Indeed, in this aspect, you are more polite than that old fellow Zheng Dongliu." Taishi Chong nodded approvingly, extending his right hand in a gesture of anticipation, "Then come...hmm?!"
Before the words fell, in his sight, Lu Jin'an's figure vanished and reappeared, like a lone white boat sailing upstream, and in an instant, a sword sliced across towards Taishi Chong's neck.
Startled, Taishi Chong retreated and laughed heartily, "Lu Jin'an, you're more polite than Zheng Dongliu, yet more unscrupulous; why not join my Wuji Demon Sect and become the Demon Sect Saint, how about it?"
As the words fell, Taishi Chong's eyes suddenly turned sharp, vast spiritual power surged forth, though he felt a stab of pain from the many cracks in his Spirit Sea, Taishi Chong didn't mind.
Dark-attribute spiritual power rose like murky waves, instantly dispersing the light of Lu Jin'an's sword.
"Boy, your swordsmanship isn't comparable to Mu Qingyue among your peers, nor is it anything special in the Lin Yuan Sword Sect, yet you dare to wield it before me?"
Taishi Chong raised his hand to slap and grip the Netherworld Validation's blade, but Lu Jin'an remained unmoved.
With only the Immortal Body remaining, Taishi Chong was no match for Lu Jin'an, who opened six Dao Palaces, in terms of strength.
Taishi Chong's smile faded; he had forgotten this kid was also a Body Cultivator.
After all, the path of Body Refinement had been declining for too long, and Taishi Chong had never battled a Body Cultivator.
This first encounter revealed the terrifying aspect of Body Cultivation.
Not yet immortal but surpassing immortals in strength.
Immense force traveled down the Netherworld Validation's blade, and no sooner did Taishi Chong loosen his right hand than he heard Lu Jin'an's low shout, with both hands wielding the sword hilt under the addition of six Dao Palaces, swing it horizontally towards Taishi Chong's head.
Taishi Chong felt his scalp tingle; this power surpassed most Demon Emperors.
Moreover, who uses a sword like a club?
Taishi Chong's expression darkened; no wonder this kid closed the distance without honor, for this force was insurmountable without Daoist skills.
And no matter how fast Daoist skills were, they weren't faster than a Sword Cultivator.
Now Taishi Chong also realized he wasn't faster than a Body Cultivator.
Luckily, he cultivated the Dark Dao.
Formed by refining with the blood erupting from negative human emotions.
Taishi Chong unleashed his Domain, instantly making the surrounding air incredibly heavy, slowing Lu Jin'an's descending sword, allowing Taishi Chong to decisively widen the distance.
BOOM!
A sword swipe sent surging force rolling like a curtain of water, carving a bottomless chasm into the charred earth as dust rose.
Witnessing this scene, Taishi Chong's pupils contracted, suddenly experiencing the feeling of facing a demon beast.
This destructive force exerted purely through strength had a more visceral and violent impact.
Fortunately, he had already gained sufficient distance.
As this thought crossed Taishi Chong's mind, the next second he sensed a spatial fluctuation behind him. Turning back, he saw a revealed Array Talisman.
Jump Talisman!
But despite the strength of the space rules, experiencing only two Heavenly Tribulations meant Lu Jin'an couldn't comprehend much of the Space Dao Essence, could he?
Hadn't he already noticed in advance... Hmm?
Taishi Chong's expression shifted subtly; seeing a Jump Talisman, the surrounding space already showed more than one Jump Talisman.
Where would Lu Jin'an emerge from?
Taishi Chong's expression darkened, because suddenly, in his peripheral vision, Lu Jin'an still stood in place!
Yet the gesture with one hand...
Sizzling...
From within three of the Jump Talismans emerged lightning.
Lightning embodying the power of Tribulation Lightning!
Taishi Chong found himself trapped in a mental loop: Lightning with Tribulation Lightning power wasn't limited to descending from the sky.
This kid had good strategy!
But still, he possessed an Immortal Body that withstood nine Heavenly Thunders!
"Dark Sky, fortify and clear!"
As the lightning erupted, Taishi Chong already let out a low shout, clapped his hands, and the Seal Technique formed.
Heaven and earth suddenly darkened, but Taishi Chong's expression immediately changed.
Because the darkening was somewhat slow.
He looked at Lu Jin'an, who stood still, unfolding his Domain; each movement felt excessively slow in Taishi Chong's eyes.
Is this... the Time Rule!
Taishi Chong's mouth twitched; had this kid's Time Rule advanced to such an extent?
Who taught him?
Let alone the Wandao Sect, could anyone find an Immortal in the entire Human Clan who attained immortality through the Time Path?
Self-taught?
That's absurd...
Taishi Chong's mind couldn't contemplate much, as he was swiftly occupied by the Tribulation Lighting's overwhelming force surrounding him.
Like a spark falling amidst dry grass, purple lightning surged into the sky, splitting the clouds.
Around Lu Jin'an, tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals were absorbed by him completely.
And then...
He unabashedly unleashed another Heavenly Justice.
