Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 554 - 549 Yanlong Emperor, Dark Bizarre_1
"Isn’t this just asking for trouble?"
Dealing with a Bizarre Cultivator of the Body Integration Realm... I’m no match for him. What I, Jia Ren, need to do is escape this place with all my might. The Yama Emperor grants me a near-immortal ability, making me difficult to kill. No matter how severe the injuries, I can recover in a short time. The Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl continuously replenishes nature’s Spiritual Energy, converted by the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. This is equivalent to the recovery speed of a cultivator at Body Integration Completion, enough to guarantee my Spiritual Power supply. As long as I remain in the Void, even if I’m not his match, stalling him won’t be difficult. The lasting combat capacity of a Nascent Soul period cultivator might not even surpass my own. If he can’t kill me and his Spiritual Power isn’t replenished, he naturally won’t continue the pursuit. Then, escaping to safety won’t be hard. I can use Jin Sheng’s Gold Victory Void Wandering ability to leave the Void alive and return to the Source Treasure Cave Heaven.
Jin Sheng’s appearance disrupted Jia Ren’s original plans.
The golden dragon tail sent Qing Yang flying with a smack, but the strike did not injure him, merely sending him flying through the air.
Looking towards the golden dragon that had appeared out of nowhere, Qing Yang’s eyes blazed with brilliance.
"I never imagined the True Dragon would be in your hands!"
"How do you possess a True Dragon?!"
"From this day forward, it’s mine!"
A mature True Dragon possessed strength comparable to a True Immortal, ranking among the topmost powerhouses. Once he controlled the True Dragon, he would possess absolute power in the Mysterious Realm. Otherwise, the appearance of True Dragon phenomena in the Mysterious Realm would not have caused numerous sects to search for it everywhere. Innumerable sects in the Mysterious Realm, and many High-Order Cultivators, had poured all their efforts into finding the True Dragon. However, they had been unable to track it down, turning it into the greatest mystery in the hearts of cultivators.
Had Qing Yang not seen it with his own eyes today, he would never have believed that a True Dragon could appear in the hands of an unknown minor cultivator.
Although Qing Yang was a Bizarre Cultivator, he still harbored covetous thoughts towards the True Dragon. A True Dragon could freely wander the Void. With it, his Bizarre Power would not be limited to the Mysterious Realm but could also influence other Cultivation Worlds. Since he had encountered it, he could not let the opportunity slip by, no matter what.
"Palm Containing Universe!"
This time, the Palm Containing Universe differed from before; the palm seemed to transform into a world of its own, emitting a powerful suction force, intent on forcefully capturing the True Dragon within its grasp.
An early-stage Sixth Rank Golden Dragon will definitely be unable to escape my palm, Qing Yang thought.
Jia Ren had not foreseen such a turn of events.
The emergence of the True Dragon could bring great calamity to me and the Lingbao Sect; even the Source Treasure Cave Heaven might not remain at peace. The trouble Jin Sheng stirred up can only be borne by me, his master. I must find a way to solve this problem. The best way is to kill the only one who knows, to ensure the information doesn’t leak.
"Demon Fusion Technique!"
At Jia Ren’s thought, he executed the Demon Fusion Technique.
The next moment, his and Jin Sheng’s figures disappeared from sight.
Where they had been, a figure now appeared wearing an imperial crown, with a dragon’s head, human eyes, and clad in a Golden Dragon Emperor’s robe. The black and gold aura surged like a tide, exuding a terrifying presence.
The Yama Heavenly Child, Law of Heaven and Earth, and Demon Fusion Technique combined to manifest the Yanlong Emperor. This form radiated a prowess not inferior to that of a Nascent Soul period cultivator.
"Three Heads and Six Arms!"
Two more dragon heads emerged, and four additional golden dragon claws appeared; in an instant, the aura soared once again.
Jia Ren had no spare capacity for distraction; combining several Divine Skills was his limit, and simply maintaining them took all his concentration. A single mistake, and the Yanlong Emperor with Three Heads and Six Arms would collapse on the spot. Helplessly, he had to hand over control to Jin Sheng.
Jin Sheng had long harbored deep hatred for the one who had injured his master, and now the opportunity to unleash his full power had arrived.
Golden Spiral Dragon Claw!
At Qing Yang’s location, a vast dragon claw appeared out of nowhere, silent and unexpected, leaving one with no room to guard against it. The claw, dark gold in color, radiated the power to destroy all things and had a sense of locking onto the Divine Soul, inescapable and inevitable. This was a special soul-locking Divine Skill, which could not be evaded but only forcibly countered.
"Palm Containing Universe!"
Once again, Qing Yang employed Palm Containing Universe; with a palm that covered the skies, it possessed an essence of breaking universes, shattering heaven and earth. This was the ultimate realm of Palm Containing Universe: the shattering of heaven and earth. The Void at the location was enveloped by the immense palm, turning it into the realm within the palm. The thousand-zhang-tall Yanlong Emperor seemed like a tiny insect within the palm.
As the Golden Spiral Dragon Claw collided with the Palm Containing Universe, a hole in the shape of a dragon claw was left at the center of the sky-covering palm. Before it could fully descend, Jin Sheng had already escaped through the gap, out of the palm’s realm.
"Qianyang!"
"Kunyue!"
"Universe Sun Moon Cycle!"
The Xuantiandao Sect specialized in Spells and Divine Skills. With two Divine Skills unleashed at once, they combined into a new Divine Skill. The sun and moon became a wheel of life and death, with black and white revolving.
The next moment, the Yanlong Emperor was dragged by an unseen force, forcibly pulled back to his original location, to face the sky-covering palm again, now restored as if new.
This person’s control of Divine Skills has reached a terrifying level; Jin Sheng is no match for him, Jia Ren thought.
"Golden Realm Breath!"
The three dragon heads of the Yanlong Emperor opened wide, each exhaling breath. The breath released was not purely golden but surged with both gold and black hues. The two-colored storm arose, becoming a tempest with the power to destroy all of creation, facing off against the entire world’s crushing force. The storm clashed with the giant palm, slowly dispelling it.
Palm Containing Universe is truly terrifying; the Golden Realm Breath can’t dispel it quickly, Jia Ren mused.
"Yanmo Proclamation Prison!"
Jia Ren communicated with Jin Sheng telepathically, drew out a Spirit Fish, and activated the Yanmo Proclamation Prison.
Just as the enormous palm struck, it hit nothing but air. The Yanlong Emperor was engaging one-on-one with a First Order Spirit Fish, having entered the unique space of the Proclamation Prison.
"You can’t escape!" Qing Yang roared.
The Palm Containing Universe collided with the space of the Proclamation Prison, and in an instant, the Yanmo Proclamation Prison shattered. The vanished Yanlong Emperor reappeared.
The Yanmo Proclamation Prison might be useful against others, but it’s useless against this person. Palm Containing Universe is a great spatial Divine Skill, most adept at breaking open spaces. The Yanmo Proclamation Prison only bought a moment’s respite. However, a moment was enough.
The Golden Spiral Dragon Claw could be deployed for the second time. The claw shadow tore through space, and using the Five Metals Divine Escape, they finally escaped to safety.
With Jia Ren’s intervention, the Yanlong Emperor’s state could hardly be maintained; the Three Heads and Six Arms were the first to crumble, and the Demon Fusion Technique gradually dissipated. Fortunately, Jin Sheng tried his best to maintain it, barely preserving the fused demon state. The Law of Heaven and Earth dispersed, leaving only the Yama Heavenly Child as the core for survival, barely maintaining itself.
BOOM!
The world within the palm exploded, and the horrific shockwave flung the Yanlong Emperor away. Before he could steady himself, countless gusts morphed into invisible needles, incessantly piercing into his marrow. The invisible needles contained a subtle poison that gradually erupted, contaminating his body and invading his Divine Soul.
Divine Skill: Bone-Corroding Ghostly Wind!
Divine Skill: Soul-Extinction Demon Needle!
The Yama Emperor’s healing abilities were suppressed by the subtle poison, and his Divine Soul gradually became clouded.
"I’d like to see what tricks you have left!" Qing Yang sneered. It was the first time he had witnessed such a tenacious opponent. Someone at the Mid-stage of Void Refinement who could entangle with him, a cultivator at the early-stage Body Integration Realm, for so long was indeed no easy feat. A hidden suction force emanated from his dark palm, ready to suppress Jia Ren and take control of the True Dragon.
"Slash!" Jia Ren commanded inwardly.
At the critical moment, Jia Ren communicated with the Birthless Killing Sword, and the concealed sword suddenly erupted. The Blood-colored Killing Sha Sword was unleashed, its sword light condensed to a point, abruptly bursting forth. The Birthless Killing Sword had been quietly accumulating power all along, poised to strike at just this moment.
With a flash of the blood sword, it suddenly pierced into Qing Yang’s palm, and the dense Killing Sha and birthless forces invaded. Qing Yang’s right palm visibly withered at a speed discernible to the naked eye; its life-force was severed, and the murderous intent invaded his body at an astonishing speed.
"Such a powerful Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure?!" Qing Yang exclaimed in surprise. "Unfortunately, I am no ordinary cultivator!"
Though half of his body was destroyed, seemingly about to be completely annihilated by the Birthless Killing Sword, Qing Yang had not a trace of fear in his eyes. The next moment, Qing Yang’s figure disappeared from the spot. He no longer resembled a cultivator but had transformed into a pure black sphere devoid of any light. The cultivator’s appearance was just a guise; this was his true form.
"You are the only one among the Xuan Realm Cultivators to have seen my true form. You can consider your death a worthy one," the Dark Bizarre Person’s voice resounded, carrying a demonic nature. "I control the darkness of this world!"
The next moment, all sight was stripped away. Both the gold of the Yanlong Emperor and the blood color from the Birthless Killing Sword lost their luster as the Void seemed to revert to its original hue: deathly silent and dark. Jin Sheng and Jia Ren lost their vision and senses, and the Birthless Killing Sword could no longer seek out its enemy, having lost its target.
The next instant, a pervasive force squeezed in from all directions, causing their bodies to crumble as if they were collapsing building blocks.
The Bizarre Demon Qing Yang controlled was named Dark Bizarre; it could alter heaven and earth, using its dark bizarre power to encroach upon and influence targets, subtly affecting their thoughts and bringing them under its control. It was by relying on this means that he had managed to infiltrate the Xuantiandao Sect without anyone seeing through his bloodline, rising to a high position. The Xuantiandao Sect’s grudge with the Lingbao Sect, turning them into mortal enemies, was his handiwork.
When Jia Ren, transformed into the Yanlong Emperor, saw this scene, he revealed a smile instead.
The crushing strength of a Nascent Soul period cultivator using the Great Divine Power, Palm Containing Universe, is enough to drive one to despair. I’ve played all my cards, and my chances of victory are slim. Thankfully, the Birthless Killing Sword succeeded in one strike, damaging the Integrative Cultivator’s shell and forcing out the opponent’s Bizarre Demon form. At this moment, my chances of winning have actually... increased!
"Finally, the moment has arrived!" Jia Ren exulted inwardly. "Then, obediently roll yourself in here for me!"
Seeing this, Jia Ren could not help but burst into hearty laughter, finally seizing the opportunity for a miraculous counter-kill. He steadfastly endured the pain of the poison’s invasion, took out an Elixir to detoxify, and mobilized the Suppressing Demon Divine Light, which transformed into thousands of Suppressing Demon God Chains winding their way towards the target.
"Full power unleashed!" he mentally commanded.
As the Suppressing Demon Divine Light emerged, it became the only light within the darkness. The dark power of the Dark Bizarre could devour all light, transforming it into the power of darkness, but it couldn’t conceal the brilliance of the Suppressing Demon Divine Light. Instead, faced with the Divine Light, it was pushed back, and the shadowy figure of the Dark Bizarre reemerged from the darkness.
Qing Yang realized the unprecedented danger. So that’s why Jia Ren could exist safely in the Sealed Land without being instantly destroyed! He must have an extremely powerful Evil-Averting Spiritual Treasure. Possibly even an Evil-warding Heavenly Spiritual Treasure!
Flee!
The Dark Bizarre form that Qing Yang had taken tried to get away, but alas, it was a step too late. It was already affected by the Suppressing Demon God Chains, which were wrapped around its body. The forces of darkness eroded them, and the Suppressing Demon God Chains were gradually imbued with a shade of black, coming under its control.
More Suppressing Demon God Chains attacked, descending en masse and forcefully suppressing it, pulling it into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.
With the only one who knew sent into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, the news of the True Dragon was successfully sealed...
As the Dark Bizarre was sent into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, the shell of the Nascent Soul period cultivator, eroded by murderous intent, was revealed on the spot. The internal Spiritual Energy surged, causing a thunderous explosion.
