Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 682 - 500: Chen Jichuan: I’m Here! I’m Dead!
"Five Elements Mountain!"
"Suppress!"
His mind was steadfast as a mountain, with the Five Elements contained within his sleeves.
The next moment, a massive Five Elements Mountain materialized out of thin air, descending upon them from above.
The minor divine power ’Five Elements Mountain,’ when evolved into a divine skill, combined with the Seven Stars Eight Dragons Sword Formation, Daluo Heavenly Fire, Ruyi Mountain Opening Method, Heavenly True Water, and Qinglian Eight Techniques, formed the divine skill ’Five Elements Mountain,’ best at suppression. It encompassed the Five Elements, and once trapped beneath the mountain, it was nearly impossible to turn the tables.
Woo woo woo~
The treasure was wailing!
Outside, the ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve’ seals, inside, the ’Five Elements Mountain’ suppresses.
Under the constraints of these two divine skills, the four treasures were restrained, unable to escape for the moment.
Without the ancient immortal artifacts in hand, the combat power of the four Thunder Tribulation True Immortals—Xuanxiao, Five Virtues, Dongwei, and Qingshi—was immediately reduced.
But that was secondary.
Most importantly, the invaluable treasures were taken away, an enormous loss; at this moment, the Four Immortals couldn’t even spare attention to deal with the Yiyuan Ancestor Master. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"You damned thief!"
Master Xuanxiao was furious, paying no further attention to the Yiyuan Ancestor Master.
He manipulated a seal technique in secret, calling forth the ’Xuanxiao Sky Measuring Ruler,’ while he himself swooped towards the True Immortal avatar of Chen Jichuan.
No matter what, the ancient immortal artifact must not be lost!
Not just Master Xuanxiao.
Five Virtues, Dongwei, and Qingshi all took action simultaneously. They knew that without the treasures in hand, stopping the Yiyuan Ancestor Master from controlling the Shenzhou Origin would be near impossible, and once he commanded more Shenzhou Origin, within Shenzhou, the Yiyuan Ancestor Master would become invincible. At that time, trying to retrieve the treasures while staying in Shenzhou would be unbelievably difficult.
To retrieve the treasures, they must act quickly; they were running out of time.
"You thief! Meet your doom!"
Thus, the Four Thunder Tribulation True Immortals erupted in a fury, mana surged, and their divine skills were no longer held back, even more desperate than when dealing with the Yiyuan Ancestor Master moments ago, determined to recapture the treasures as swiftly as possible.
...
"These four people—"
When Chen Jichuan’s four True Immortal avatars appeared, the Yiyuan Ancestor Master and Taisu Ancestor were taken aback at the unexpected aid in such a critical moment, the four managed to swipe the treasures from Xuanxiao and the others in a flash, causing brief delight.
But upon seeing the interveners’ cultivation, their hearts sank.
"First Realm True Immortal?"
Chen Jichuan, having just displayed ’Wind Thunder Walking,’ ’Daluo Heavenly Sleeve,’ with divine skills unfurled, mana stirred, had already revealed his Daoist cultivation and prowess to the onlookers.
Only a First Realm True Immortal.
True Immortality is hard to cultivate.
Despite having access to ample resources from the One Origin Dao Sect and abundant source jade, Chen Jichuan, after proving the Dao for one hundred fifty thousand years, had only reached the peak of the First Realm, still in the process of advancing to the Second Realm.
This progress wasn’t slow at all.
After all, like the East River Palace Master and Qianming Palace Master, who had cultivated for nearly a million years, they had only reached the First Realm Fourth Step and Fifth Step, already surpassed by Chen Jichuan.
But the First Realm is only the First Realm.
Four First Realm True Immortals, even relying on odd divine skills and taking advantage by surprise, managed to seize the ancient immortal artifacts from the hands of the four Thunder Tribulation True Immortals in the first instance.
But for the next direct confrontation, they would most likely struggle to match them.
"Daoist, be careful!"
Taisu Ancestor shouted a warning.
He was anxious.
Partly out of concern for the safety of these four First Realm True Immortals, worried that their kind assistance might lead to their demise here.
Partly for fear that if these four were to perish, the treasures they secured would once again fall back into the hands of the Four Thunder Tribulation True Immortals, further hindering the Yiyuan Ancestor Master, reverting the situation to its former state.
"We must protect them!"
Taisu Ancestor was eager to break free and help; however, if he moved, the Vermilion Blood Ancestor would be relieved, posing a similar headache and threat to the Yiyuan Ancestor Master.
A dilemma indeed.
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master, observing the scene, felt hope rise in his heart but knew the complexity of the situation.
At this moment.
He decided to hold nothing back.
The hidden body, kept in concealment for so long, finally sprang into motion, in a flash traversing the sky, blocking the path of the Four Thunder Tribulation True Immortals.
"Yiyuan!"
"How dare you obstruct me!?"
Master Xuanxiao, skilled in Thunder Skill, was the most hot-tempered.
The treasures being snatched filled him with rage, and seeing the Yiyuan Ancestor Master reveal his true form elicited no hesitation—a thought, and his body emerged from the South Continent, rushing once more towards that one First Realm True Immortal.
Not just Master Xuanxiao.
The other three Thunder Tribulation True Immortals, upon seeing the Yiyuan Ancestor Master’s body appear to block their way, resolved themselves and let their bodies be released too.
Shenzhou descended further into chaos.
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master, as one against four, stopped the Four Thunder Tribulation True Immortal avatars, but only managed to hold back the Dharma Domain avatars.
The four Thunder Tribulation True bodies could no longer be held back.
He could only cry out, "Four Daoists, be cautious," hoping those four First Realm True Immortals had means to escape and save their lives.
...
Over here.
Chen Jichuan saw the approach of the Four Thunder Tribulation, fierce and swift, also hearing the reminders of the Yiyuan Ancestor Master and Taisu Ancestor.
"Great timing!"
Far from being afraid, he laughed boldly, "I’ve been wanting to test the power of the Fourth Realm!"
Fifteen thousand years of secluded cultivation within the Daoist sect.
Chen Jichuan’s Daoist cultivation was already at the peak of the First Realm. Many of his Divine Skills were at the Fourth Realm, cultivated through the True Sect Level "Five Five Great Expansion True Scripture," standing at the absolute peak of the First Realm. He had no fear even when facing Second and Third Realm True Immortals.
However, he had no assurance against Fourth Realm True Immortals.
This was a rare opportunity, perfect for a clash with them, and incidentally, to curry favor with Yiyuan Ancestor Master, possibly yielding other benefits afterward.
Thinking so.
Chen Jichuan did not flee in haste.
He operated his mana to the fullest and bolstered himself with several Divine Skills—
Vajra Calamity Armor!
Pagoda Heart Holding!
Heaven Mending Seal!
All were Divine Skills that had reached the Fourth Realm.
"Command!"
At the same time, each of the four avatars formed seal techniques, and in the void, a mighty bell resounded with a great sound.
This was the ’Soul-shaking Bell,’ a skill aimed at the divine soul and mind, also cultivated by Chen Jichuan to the Fourth Realm. It was advantageous for attack due to its element of surprise. Against the Fourth Realm Thunder Tribulation True Immortal, it might not achieve victory, but it could slow them down for a moment without issues.
Only.
Before this thought had settled.
On that side.
"A mere First Realm True Immortal, where does such courage come from!"
Master Xuanxiao’s face bore a murderous look, utterly ignoring the ’Soul-shaking Bell’ with the vigorous surging of the Primordial Yang Qi in him. He crafted seal techniques, wielding thunder, unleashing thousands of ’Great Cave True Thunder’ upon Chen Jichuan’s avatar, shattering it into dust in an instant.
Clang!
The ancient immortal artifact ’Xuanxiao Sky Measuring Ruler’ dropped in response, flying toward Master Xuanxiao again.
Not just this avatar.
In three other places.
The three Thunder Tribulation True Immortals, Wude, Dongwei, and Qingshi, also struck with anger. Similarly, with a single move, the other three avatars of Chen Jichuan were reduced to ashes.
...
"..."
Just a moment ago, Chen Jichuan was laughing with ambitions as high as the sky, wanting to compare with heaven, but with the instant demise of these four avatars, he was momentarily silent.
The ideals were beautiful.
The reality was too harsh.
The absolute crush of Daoist cultivation between the First Realm and the Fourth Realm meant Chen Jichuan stood no chance against the Thunder Tribulation True Immortals.
But it wasn’t entirely due to the cultivation gap.
"The cultivation gap is one aspect."
"Additionally, the issue lies with the cultivation techniques and Divine Skills. Master Xuanxiao and others have cultivated for over twenty million years, each a Thunder Tribulation True Immortal. Although their techniques aren’t at the True Sect Level, reaching the Ancient Immortal Realm, they’ve integrated various strengths. Their techniques aren’t much inferior to True Sect Level."
"I don’t have much of an advantage in terms of cultivation techniques."
"Moreover, regarding Divine Skills."
"I have Divine Skills, and so do they. My Divine Skills are at the Fourth Realm, but they’ve honed theirs over millions of years, their proficiency in Divine Skills is certainly no lower than mine, maybe even superior."
The harsh reality calmed Chen Jichuan down.
The direct confrontation just now also allowed him to ’Insight’ into Master Xuanxiao and others’ capabilities, understanding the gap between himself and the Fourth Realm Thunder Tribulation True Immortals.
Only slightly advantageous in cultivation techniques.
Yet, in terms of cultivation and Divine Skills, at an absolute disadvantage.
"It seems that merely striving to improve Daoist cultivation and diligently honing Divine Skills is insufficient for gaining an edge among True Immortals."
Cultivation technique!
Divine Skills!
They must be further developed to broaden the gap with other True Immortals.
...
Chen Jichuan’s reflection only lasted a moment.
He recognized the gap between him and the Thunder Tribulation True Immortals but did not retreat.
Though four avatars perished, Chen Jichuan didn’t rest for a moment.
"Rise!"
"Rise!"
"Rise!"
With a thought, four new avatars emerged, ascending straight to True Immortal status. Then, they rose against the tide, capturing four treasures as they dropped, and with a sweep of their sleeves, a ray of light shone.
Once again whisked them away.
The four Daoists did not linger this time. Snatching the treasures, they immediately stepped on wind and thunder, fleeing far away.
Not seeking escape, only delay.
After all, he had many avatars, weak they might be, but being persistent was no problem.
"I’ve sworn to protect Shenzhou!"
...
