Chapter 394 - 369: First Confrontation with the Immortal Lord_1

Boom! Boom!

Two Destroying Demon Arrows struck Chikui’s wings.

The Destroying Demon Arrows violently collided with the Rule Power on the wings. In the end, they managed to pierce through the Rule Power, burying themselves deep into the wings, only to be stubbornly lodged.

"The Immortal with a Sixth Rotation of the Yuan God is truly astonishing in strength, comparable to the world’s supreme."

By the sea, Lu Yan’s figure emerged.

He had previously left the Immortal Ruins and hid here to avoid being encircled.

He was fully aware of the dreadful innate capabilities of the Immortals.

Any single Immortal, as long as it is in a certain realm, will undoubtedly wield top-tier strength amongst it.

Any random Fifth Rotation Yuan God Immortal can match up to top experts.

An Immortal of the Sixth Rotation of the Yuan God can be compared with the world’s supremes.

If he was entangled by an Immortal of the Sixth Rotation of the Yuan God, and a few more Immortals of Fifth Rotation of the Yuan God came after him along with the Immortal Lord, he would probably be in danger.

It was safer for him to strike away from the Immortal Ruins.

He wasn’t wrong, an Immortal of the Sixth Rotation of the Yuan God really was formidable. Despite his ambush, the three consecutive Destroying Demon Arrows he shot could barely severely wound his opponent’s wings, only managing to inflict some minor damage.

Roar!

The Immortal Puppet let out a long howl. With a shake of its wings, the two Destroying Demon Arrows flew out. Its gigantic body began to rapidly shrink, becoming a large bird with wings only a dozen meters wide. It transformed into a red light and pounced towards Lu Yan.

Its body had shrunk, but its speed had clearly increased. Its wings were as sharp as blades, slashing towards Lu Yan.

Just as its wings nearly reached Lu Yan, it coughed up a red war sword, aiming straight for Lu Yan’s forehead.

Quick, so quick it had reached its limit.

Lu Yan quickly retreated. In front of him, a Martial Arts avatar, namely, the Yanluo Golden Body avatar, emerged. It clasped its fists together to seize the war sword.

Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle...

The Yanluo Golden Body avatar’s hands clasped the war sword, emitting a sizzling sound. It only held on for an instant before the war sword broke through the hands of the Yanluo Golden Body avatar and stabbed into its chest.

The extraordinary defensive Narluo Golden Body avatar couldn’t defend itself. It was directly stabbed into its chest. With a "Plop", the war sword’s incredibly sharp Sword Qi split the avatar’s body in half.

What?

Lu Yan’s pupils shrank.

This was beyond his expectation. He had not expected that the Narluo Golden Body avatar, with such formidable defenses, would be unable to block the opponent’s single slash.

What kind of sword is this, so sharp?

"The Immortal Lord’s treasure sword is truly extraordinary. Kid, you won’t be able to escape today."

Chikui, feeling extremely joyful, once again wished to manipulate the treasure sword to strike Lu Yan.

At this moment, a phantom image of a big tree descended from the sky and rushed into Chikui’s skull.

Boom!

Chikui’s Primordial Spirit experienced a Huge Shock. Even though he was being protected by the Rule Power, he was nearly blasted apart.

With his Primordial Spirit damaged he couldn’t manipulate the treasure sword anymore.

Immediately, more than a dozen Martial Arts avatars rushed out from Lu Yan, all of them were God-level Martial Arts avatars and Top Martial Arts avatars. They all pounced onto Chikui and surrounded him, then self-detonated.

The self-detonation of a dozen powerful Martial Arts avatars produced a devastating destructive energy that tore apart Chikui’s supposedly indestructible Immortal body.

"Damn it..."

Chikui reacted, quickly retreated his Primordial Spirit back into his physical body, then his whole body was engulfed in flames, wanting to undergo a rebirth from fire and repair his body.

But Lu Yan didn’t give him the chance.

Lu Yan couldn’t afford to miss the opportunity created by a Soul Attack and the Martial Arts Avatars.

The moment the Martial Arts avatars rushed out, the Exorcism Bow and the Destroying Demon Arrow were already in his hands. He mobilized his full strength and attracted a massive amount of Heavenly Earth Energy to inject into the Exorcism Bow and the Destroying Demon Arrow.

Whiz!

The Destroying Demon Arrow shot out, precisely hitting Chikui’s skull.

Chikui’s head, along with his neck, exploded into dust.

But an Immortal with the Sixth Rotation of the Yuan God has an incredibly vital life force; even this did not kill him. Amidst the engulfing flames, a mysterious energy connected the remains of his body, mending his body swiftly.

An Immortal of similar strength to Zhuo Kunsheng had a life force that was incomparably stronger than Zhuo Kunsheng’s.

If it were a Supreme Level Martial Cultivator, they would have already died beyond revival.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!...

Lu Yan continuously shot five arrows without stopping.

Five Destroying Demon Arrows all pierced into Chikui’s body, their dreadful energy all bursting open inside Chikui.

This time, Chikui could no longer endure it. He let out a scream of unwillingness before finally dying, his Primordial Spirit dissipating into thin air.

"You want to run?"

Lu Yan noticed that the half-meter-long red war sword started flying towards the direction of the Red Flame Immortal Ruins the moment Chikui died.

With a sword this sharp, he didn’t want to miss out.

Earlier, it was because he had sensed the threat from this war sword that he used all his trump cards in an instant to quickly end the battle.

Otherwise, if he made even the slightest mistake, he would be the one who died.

Lu Yan mobilized the Heavenly Earth Power to form a gigantic hand reaching out. In the blink of an eye, the hand grabbed the war sword.

"Lu Yan, you’ve killed several of my Immortals from the Red Flame Immortal Ruins. It seems you’ve grown tired of living."

From within the sword, a cold voice echoed, clearly the voice of the Immortal Lord Red Flame.

At the same time, the sword light surged, splitting Lu Yan’s condensed giant hand and tried to escape once more.

"There’s leftover Soul Power inside the war sword, huh? Hmph, time to wipe it out."

Lu Yan scoffed. His soul flew out, and he pushed with both hands. Another Big Tree Phantom Image rushed into the sword.

"Lu Yan, the day when this Immortal breaks free will be the day of your death..."

From within the sword, there came an unwilling roar, followed by silence.

The fiery red war sword floated placidly in mid-air.

Lu Yan stretched his hand into the air to grab it, and the sword flew towards him.

Just as the War Sword was only half a meter away from him, it suddenly surged, slashing at Lu Yan’s brow.

"Oh no..."

Lu Yan reacted with panic, rapidly retreating.

But it was too late. Before he could move back ten meters, the War Sword had already struck his brow.

Clang!

Lu Yan’s body rolled thousands of meters backward, feeling a pricking pain in his brow. His skull felt as if it had been cracked open, his warm blood flowing down his nose.

"Kill!"

Lu Yan roared, and a Big Tree Phantom Image appeared again in the sky, crashing into the War Sword, this time completely submerging the sword.

"Sneaky old thing..."

Through his spiritual senses, Lu Yan saw a sword wound on his brow, half an inch deep into the bone.

"Thank goodness, my defenses are strong enough and his remaining soul is minimal..."

Lu Yan silently rejoiced.

An Immortal Lord level figure is indeed terrifying. When he first attacked with a Soul Attack, he didn’t entirely erase the soul left in the War Sword. He left a small part, pretended it was annihilated, and waited for Lu Yan to let his guard down before launching a surprise attack.

If it had happened to anyone else, they would probably be dead.

Fortunately, although the enemy was not completely annihilated by Lu Yan’s Soul Attack, the remaining Soul Power was minimal, and could not use the full power of the War Sword, so it did not break Lu Yan’s defense.

This time, Lu Yan is more careful. He didn’t immediately claim the War Sword but used his Soul Power to penetrate within the War Sword, carefully inspecting it. Only after confirming that there was no more soul inside, did he put it away.

The Dao Book Illusion flew out, completely absorbing Chikui’s corpse.

"Let’s find the Destroying Demon Arrows so they aren’t lost."

Lu Yan stood on the sea surface, releasing his spiritual sense.

He had only retrieved five of the Destoying Demon Arrows shot out previously; the other four had fallen to the seabed.

Luckily, he was near the shallow sea, and he soon found the four Destroying Demon Arrows at the bottom of the sea.

Lu Yan didn’t immediately return to Wu Mountain, but instead stayed by the seaside, refining the Immortal Corpse.

He was mainly worried that immortals from Red Flame Immortal Ruins would chase him.

However, Lu Yan was overthinking. He did not see any sign of immortals after several days.

"The number of immortals in the Fairy Ruins is limited. I killed three of them at Fengming Mountain, killed three more outside the Red Flame Immortal Ruins, and one more immortal at the coast with a Sixth Rotation Yuan God. There shouldn’t be many immortals left in the Red Flame Immortal Ruins."

Lu Yan surmised.

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.

The absorbed immortals were all refined by the Dao Book.

Yanluo Golden Body was promoted to the twelfth level in one fell swoop.

The energy provided by the fifth and sixth transformation of the Yuan God, especially the latter, was too pure, far surpassing the third and fourth transformations.

However, the more advanced the Yanluo Golden Body gets, the more difficult it becomes to upgrade.

Each level was more astonishing than the last.

Especially after the twelfth level, the speed of upgrading became slow as a snail.

Lu Yan estimated that it would take at least three to four Sixth Rotation immortal beings to upgrade the Yanluo Golden Body to the highest level, the thirteenth.

So, after reaching the twelfth level, Lu Yan felt something was wrong and used the remaining energy to upgrade the Five-Colored Heavenly Saber to the fifth level.

The Yanluo Golden Body remained at 102% of the twelfth level.

"Three to four Sixth Rotation immortal beings... That’s hard."

Lu Yan sighed.

However, having the Yanluo Golden Body reach the twelfth level enhanced his strength and made his close combat skills even more terrifying.

Even he could not predict how strong his close combat abilities had become.

"Anyway, I’ve already made an enemy of the Red Flame Immortal Ruins. It’s now a fight to the death. Might as well go take a look and see if I can draw out some more immortals."

Lu Yan thought to himself.

He was addicted.

Using immortals to upgrade martial arts was too enjoyable for Lu Yan, making it difficult for him to give it up.

With that thought, Lu Yan immediately set off, and soon he was outside the Immortal Ruins again.

"Big bird inside, get out here, this Lord is hungry and wants to eat roast bird, come forth and meet your doom."

Lu Yan roared, the sound waves rolling in and penetrating the Immortal Ruins.

Deep within the Immortal Ruins, a pair of giant eyes opened, glowing red with chilling murderous intent as cold as frost.

"Lu Yan..."

Immortal Lord Red Flame roared, his wings spreading as he soared from the immortals’ domain to the outside.

His wings fell like a fierce fire-themed blade, slashing towards Lu Yan.

"Bring it on."

Lu Yan did not dodge or yield, and with the True Dragon War Body and Yanluo Golden Body activated, he slashed forward with his hand as sharp as a blade.

Boom!

The blade-like hand and the wings of the Immortal Lord Red Flame clashed together.

A shocking roar erupted at the point of their collision, a terrifying blast wave radiating in all directions.

Lu Yan’s figure shook slightly, and he fell back a few steps, but soon steadied his stance.

"You..."

Immortal Lord Red Flame was shocked, then his eyes revealed a strong covetousness.

"The legend is true. Our clan’s ’Dao Book’, a supreme treasure with the power to defy heaven, how can it fall into this foul place, even in the hands of a human martial artist?"

"If I could get it, I could soaring into the heavens, easily stepping into immortality."

Immortal Lord Red Flame let out a roar in his heart, a terrifying aura exploding from within him.

"Flowing Fire Sky Rain!"

As Immortal Lord Red Flame howled, a surge of Rule of Fire swept across the heaven and earth, gathering a large amount of Heavenly Earth Power, transforming into countless blades of flame. These descended from the sky, slashing towards Lu Yan.
