Chapter 491 - 466: The Genius of the Three Emperors Alliance

The burly young man used a soul defense treasure to block Lu Yan’s attack and once again advanced to kill him.

"I don’t believe I can’t break through your soul defense treasure."

Lu Yan continued to drive his primordial spirit, and this time, three big tree phantom images consecutively rushed out, penetrating the opponent’s sea of consciousness.

Launching three big tree phantom images simultaneously was Lu Yan’s limit.

This was something he could only do after breaking through to Immortality.

Boom, boom, boom!

Three consecutive booms sounded as the mirror on the burly young man’s primordial spirit vibrated continuously, finally cracking with a snap.

Dong!

The Thunder Bell resonated, shockwaves of sound blasting forth, seizing the opportunity to violently shake the burly young man’s primordial spirit, his strength also affected.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Yan launched a fierce attack, with blade light woven densely, continuously slashing towards the burly young man.

Spurt!

The burly youth blocked twenty-three of Lu Yan’s blades, but the twenty-fourth blade wasn’t completely deflected, the blade’s edge grazing his chest.

The burly young man retreated dozens of miles in an explosion.

"Boy, very good, being able to injure me despite only being in the Immortal First Layer, something I haven’t experienced for a long time. Now, let me show you my true power."

The eyes of the burly young man became somewhat fierce, his abdomen lit up, and a battle axe flew out.

This was an Organ Miracle.

The battle axe shone brightly, merging with the Immortal Treasure Battle Axe in the burly young man’s hands, causing the aura of the Immortal Treasure Battle Axe to surge violently.

But it wasn’t over yet, another ray of light burst out from the burly young man’s abdomen.

This was a black colossal bear, with a broad mouth and fierce fangs, strong beyond compare.

Another Organ Miracle.

This person actually had two Organ Miracles.

It is said that some terrible monsters possessed multiple Organ Miracles; Lu Yan was witnessing this for the first time.

The giant bear, in a flash, entered the burly young man’s body, causing his body to rapidly swell, growing much taller, and roaring like a bear from his mouth.

"Kill!"

The burly young man roared, stepping on the void, charging at Lu Yan, the battle axe swirled, turning the void into a tangled mess.

Lu Yan swung his blade to counter.

With a clang, Lu Yan’s figure shot back, his arm trembling violently.

"Such strong power, to use the Organ Miracle like this, fusing two Organ Miracles together, his strength has skyrocketed, surpassing me..."

Lu Yan’s thoughts raced.

The burly young man gained the upper hand with one move, giving Lu Yan no chance to breathe, his battle axe chopping down like a raging storm.

Lu Yan parried, but with each collision, he was forced backward. After ten consecutive clashes, he had retreated dozens of miles, his qi-blood roiling, nearly spitting out blood.

Moreover, he was gradually losing the power to counterattack, only able to defend reactively.

"Brother, if you want the Three Emperors Command, I can give it to you. Why must we fight to the death?"

Lu Yan spoke to probe, trying to buy himself a chance to breathe.

"My mission is not to obtain the Three Emperors Command but to kill its possessor before I take the Three Emperors Command. What use is it if you just give it to me unless you hand over your head to me?"

The burly young man coldly answered, his offensive not slowing in the least.

"Mission? What mission?"

Lu Yan pressed on.

"After you die, then I’ll tell you."

The burly young man sneered.

Boom!

On the sixteenth move, as Lu Yan retreated again, he nearly got his forehead split by the battle axe. Although he dodged quickly, his forehead still felt hot, blood trickling down.

Had he not dodged in time, his head would have been split into two.

"I can’t keep going like this; I’m completely passive. One more slip and I’ll be grievously wounded, and once that happens, it’s all over..."

Lu Yan’s thoughts raced, contemplating his strategy.

On the other side of the battlefield, the young man’s strength was also formidable. Shen Yinuo exhausted all his efforts, unleashing strange blood lights, and Mr. World used all his techniques, but they could only fight to a draw.

If Lu Yan were to lose, and the burly young man went to reinforce, both Shen Yinuo and Mr. World would be in danger.

"Try to merge the Thunder Fire Rule..."

Lu Yan remembered how the last time he had accidentally fused the Thunder Fire Rule completely, generating a terrifying destructive force with increased might.

But subsequent attempts had all failed.

This was perhaps his only chance.

With that thought, he began.

Lu Yan fully controlled the Thunder Fire Rule, entwining the two rules together, then letting them permeate each other, wanting them to merge completely.

But he failed immediately.

Because the two rules repelled each other enormously, nearly giving the burly young man the chance to inflict heavy damage.

"No good, try again."

Lu Yan launched a soul attack, summoning the Big Tree Phantom Image, simultaneously coordinating with the Thunder Bell.

The burly young man’s soul defense treasure had already been cracked, its defensive power much weakened. Lu Yan’s soul attack could now get through the mirror, affecting the burly young man.

As a result, the burly young man’s primordial spirit was affected, unable to exert his full strength.

This gave Lu Yan the opportunity to try.

"Kill."

Lu Yan shouted, continuing to attempt to merge the Thunder Fire Rule, swinging his blade down.

Still a failure.

Try again.

Failure, always a failure.

The two continued clashing, going over thirty moves in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yan was still at a disadvantage, constantly being pressed, with each move posing a life-and-death risk.

But for some reason, the more he faced life-and-death situations, walking on the edge of death with every move, the calmer he became, his spirit highly focused, his thoughts exceedingly active.

Every attack he made, every bit of strength used, every wisp of the rule’s circulation became clear and apparent in his mind.

His Primordial Spirit was shimmering radiantly, fusing with the Thunder Fire Rule between heaven and earth.

Suddenly...

Thunder and fire intertwined, a streak of sword light suffused with lightning and flames, thunder and fire interwoven, merging into one, indistinguishable from each other.

Boom!

The knife and the axe collided once again.

But this time, the burly youth’s body shook violently, he was forced backwards explosively, and his battle axe buzzed incessantly. His arms were covered in tiny bolts of lightning, which in turn were wrapped in flames, looking like tiny snakes.

The arms of the burly youth now bore blackened, charred scars, and blood flowed freely.

"Your power..."

The burly youth was shocked beyond belief.

Previously, Lu Yan had been clearly suppressed by him, how could he suddenly have burst forth with such terrifying strength?

"The Thunder Fire Rule, a fusion of rules, how could a mere native of the Desolate Land accomplish this step?"

The burly youth was horrified.

A fusion of rules, even on the Origin Continent, was something very few people could achieve, and each one was a notorious prodigious genius.

"It’s a success."

Lu Yan was overjoyed, but soon calmed down, his mind clear and lucid, his spirit highly focused, remembering the sensation just now.

He continued to harness the Thunder Fire Rule and slashed out with another knife.

But this knife failed.

"Again."

Lu Yan slashed out with another knife.

It was still a failure.

But on the sixth attempt, he succeeded once more, forcing the burly youth to retreat explosively.

"This youngster, using it unskillfully, is using me for practice, detestable."

The burly youth raged and began to contemplate retreat.

But Lu Yan did not want to let the other party off easily now, such a good practice opportunity could not be missed.

Lu Yan stepped with the Starry Sky Step, coordinating with the Soul Attack, sending out continuous slashes of the blade.

After three moves, he succeeded once again.

The sensation of the thunder and fire merging became clearer and clearer in his heart.

Finally, he captured it firmly, never to be forgotten for all eternity.

Boom!

Lu Yan’s aura surged, his whole body enveloped by the Thunder Fire Rule, the two merged completely into one, forming the true Thunder Fire Rule.

His strength soared, and in a blink, he executed nine slashes.

Each slash, a fusion of thunder and fire, each blade, at the absolute apex of strength.

And while executing the nine slashes, he consecutively summoned three Big Tree Phantom Images, charging into the opponent’s sea of consciousness.

With the dual attack, the burly youth could not cope, managing to block only seven blows before being split into two by the eighth slash.

Subsequently, the Thunder Fire Power erupted, exploding inside the burly youth’s body, his body pulverized into particles.

His Primordial Spirit, carrying a mirror, flew out in panic and screamed, "You can’t kill me, I am from the Three..."

Pfft!

The ninth slash fell, directly dispersing the burly youth’s Primordial Spirit into smoke and dust.

"Three, three what?"

Only then did Lu Yan pause, his mind suddenly flashing with insight.

Could it be the Three Emperors Alliance?

Lu Yan’s face turned ashen.

Could it be that the other party was from the Three Emperors Alliance?

Seeing the burly youth killed, the other young man had no desire to continue fighting; he transformed into a silver Sword Light, instantly breaking through Mr. World’s Formation, like a streak of silver lightning, flying off into the distance.

"Stop him, he can’t be allowed to escape."

Lu Yan shouted, pushing his speed to the limit as he gave chase.

But the opponent’s Cultivation Level had reached the Immortal Third Layer, his body turned into Sword Light, his speed was too fast, and Lu Yan’s Starry Sky Step was no longer sufficient. After some time, the gap between them grew wider and wider.

"You, who killed a disciple of the Three Emperors Alliance, wait for our Three Emperors Alliance’s retaliation."

From afar came the young man’s voice, brimming with murderous intent.

Lu Yan’s face looked extremely grim.

It was indeed someone from the Three Emperors Alliance.

The Three Emperors Alliance, a powerful force from the Origin Continent, why had they suddenly entered the Desolate Land?

More importantly, why did a disciple from the Three Emperors Alliance want to kill him, to kill someone who held the Three Emperors Command?

Wasn’t it said that holding the Three Emperors Command would lead to a master from the Three Emperors Alliance coming forward to guide one to the Origin Continent and join the Alliance?

This was clearly at odds with the rumors.

"That burly youth mentioned it was a mission, that he must kill the holder of the Three Emperors Command, what exactly is going on?"

Lu Yan’s mind raced with thoughts, but he couldn’t find an answer.

At this point, Shen Yinuo and Mr. World had caught up as well, and both of their complexions were equally troubled.

"I’ve come to realize that we are beset by bad luck; having just arrived in the Desolate Land, we were hunted by both Immortals and Devils Clans, and now we’ve even offended the Three Emperors Alliance. I think we might as well hang ourselves with an eyelash."

Mr. World sighed deeply, his handsome face twisting into a semblance of a bitter gourd.

"Elder, you used to be so vain... no, so confident, why do you lack confidence now?"

Lu Yan said.

"Who says I lack confidence? But after all, my Cultivation Level is still low. If my master were here, to hell with the Three Emperors Alliance or Five Emperors Alliance, Immortal Clan or Demon Clan, he would smack them all to death with a single slap."

Mr. World glared.

"Then can you contact your master?"

Lu Yan asked.

Mr. World immediately shook his head and said, "No, but I know that my master must be undertaking a major endeavor, and something of great significance at that."

Lu Yan fell silent.
