Chapter 532 - 507 Primitive Symbiotic Life

Innate Magic Realm, to the north, atop a high peak, two silhouettes stood side by side, gazing into the vast expanse of heaven and earth.

One of them wore a purple robe with a purple-gold crown adorning his head, handsome in appearance with a tall and stout figure. Embroidered on the purple robe were three noble figures, representing the people from the Three Emperors Alliance.

This person was known as Sword Saint Situ, a member of the Three Emperors Alliance. At the same time, in the Immortal Realm of the Three Emperors Alliance, he was ranked second.

A veritable genius and monster, his reputation was resounding even among those in the Immortal Realm throughout the Origin Continent, placing him amongst the very best.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Sword Saint Situ was a burly young man, his strong arms bare for all to see. His skin was a pale golden color, with a halo behind his head that flickered in and out of existence, exuding a sense of divine nobility.

This was a prodigy from the Divine Clan, named Shen Yueren.

"Sword Saint Situ, are you sure about this, that Lu Lingxuan will come to the Innate Magic Realm?"

Shen Yueren asked.

"Absolutely certain. As long as one is willing to expend resources, there are no secrets that cannot be uncovered. Not every disciple within the Dragon Alliance is undyingly loyal. This time, Lu Lingxuan’s visit to the Innate Magic Realm is to hunt True Beasts, possibly for Tao Magic Seals, to strengthen her foundation in preparation for the subsequent battles at the Origin Tournament. After all, within the ranks of the Dragon Alliance’s Immortal Realm, she is the only one truly worth mentioning," Sword Saint Situ replied with a smile.

"Let’s hope the information you provided is true, otherwise, don’t expect me to show any mercy," Shen Yueren said with a cold face, not giving any face to Sword Saint Situ.

Sword Saint Situ still wore a smile and didn’t dare to offend Shen Yueren.

The Divine Clan was an ancient and most powerful force on the Origin Continent, with a True One Realm power at its core. Naturally, they were beyond ordinary conversations. Most importantly, they had already gone through two cycles of cultivation reincarnation, standing unyielded with an incredibly profound and terrifying foundation, and possessed an abundance of powerful individuals.

Overall, their strength was a cut above that of the Three Emperors Alliance.

"The Dragon Alliance, originally part of the boundless starry sky, who knows whether they have secret communications with the vast cosmos? Now, with the major decisive battle imminent, this unstable factor must not be allowed to grow unchecked," Shen Yueren added in a cold voice.

"Of course. Who knows whether their hearts lie with the boundless cosmos and whether they’ll stab us in the back at a critical moment?" Sword Saint Situ said with a smile, continuing, "I have received credible news that Lu Lingxuan has already arrived at the Innate Magic Realm and may have already started hunting True Beasts."

"Good, this time, let us join forces to ensure that Lu Lingxuan remains forever in the Innate Magic Realm," Shen Yueren said, his eyes shimmering with a sharp and cold murderous intent.

...

With Xiao Yin’s help, Lu Yan encountered no significant dangers thereafter and, in less than half a month’s time, successfully subdued six True Beasts each bearing a Tao Magic Seal.

Among them, three had attained the Immortal Ninth Layer.

The other four varied from the Eighth, Seventh, and Sixth Layer of Immortality.

"Hmm? What’s that?"

One day, Lu Yan, along with Xiao Yin and a group of True Beasts, was traversing through the wilderness when he suddenly saw a distant, brilliant glow of rosy light soaring into the sky.

The rosy light, concentrated and unyielding, morphed into a dragon shape.

However, the shape of the rosy dragon light was suppressed by two other beams of light, and at the same time, there was a dazzling Sword Light, incredibly astonishing.

"Could it be that people from the Dragon Alliance are engaged in battle?"

A thought struck Lu Yan, and he decided to go and see for himself.

Now, with a group of True Beasts by his side, he felt very confident.

Lu Yan concealed his aura and approached swiftly while the True Beasts, being kings of the forest, advanced silently, making not even the slightest noise.

Before long, they covered dozens of miles and ascended a high peak to get a better view.

Instantly, they saw a group of people besieging a single individual.

The person being besieged was a woman.

"Lu Lingxuan, it’s Disciple Lu Lingxuan," Lu Yan thought to himself.

The one being attacked was an exceptionally beautiful woman, appearing a little over twenty years old, with a lithe figure and stunningly beautiful features, exuding a natural aura.

Lu Yan had once seen her at Ye Yuluo’s birthday banquet.

The Dragon Alliance originally had nine major disciples, yet in the Immortal Realm, there was only one—Lu Lingxuan.

It is said that Lu Lingxuan is a direct descendant of Alliance Hierarch Lu Ming, her great-great-great-great-granddaughter.

Her ability to occupy the position of a disciple in the Immortal Realm testified to her extraordinary talent.

But at this moment, she was covered in blood, with numerous wounds on her body, pale-faced, and in a precarious state.

Surrounding her were a total of fourteen individuals.

Two young men mainly led the assault, launching a tempestuous offensive around Lu Lingxuan.

At the same time, another twelve individuals, each armed with a battle sword, set up a formidable Sword Array.

The Sword Array was incredibly powerful. Every time Lu Lingxuan tried her utmost to break out, she would be blocked by the Sword Array, and then viciously attacked by the two young men, each time adding new injuries.

"They are all from the Immortal Ninth Layer," Lu Yan murmured, his face stern.

The twelve who set up the array were from the Immortal Ninth Layer. Naturally, the two leading attackers were also from the Immortal Ninth Layer and possessed extreme strength. Lu Yan estimated that in a battle on equal footing, they could easily defeat someone like Fang Yunliang who had an Innate Magic Body.

"What should I do?"

Lu Yan’s thoughts raced.

It was out of the question for him to intervene personally. Any of the twelve who set up the array was too much for him to handle, not to mention those two young men.

If he were to charge out himself, it would be suicide.

The only option was to rely on the True Beasts.

Lu Yan communicated with Xiao Yin, instructing it to signal the True Beasts to prepare to intervene, to sneak closer to the battlefield, and wait for the right moment.

Lu Lingxuan practiced the Principle of Thunder, her entire body enveloped in thunder, with lightning intertwining to form a set of Thunder Armor.

Her hair, her eyelashes, her skin—all were transformed into electric currents.

In her hands, she wielded a long spear entirely composed of thunder, fearsomely powerful. With each thrust, a thunder dragon would surge forth, blocking the surrounding attacks.

"Is this the Initial Body?"

Lu Yan whispered.

Innate Magic Body, innately close to certain Rules of Law, has a unique advantage in comprehending certain laws.

But the Innate Magic Body is not the strongest, above it, there exists the Initial Body.

For example, the Flame Initial Body, Thunder Initial Body, Ice Initial Body, and so on.

Similar to the Innate Magic Body, the Initial Body is innately close to certain Rules of Law, yet it is an advanced version of the Innate Magic Body, crushing the latter in all aspects.

Moreover, an Initial Body is born with a symbiotic life.

Some people are born clutching a sword.

The sword is not physical but an incarnation of the law.

Some are born alongside a golden tower, others with a flame cauldron.

These symbiotic lives are myriad and varied.

Lu Lingxuan’s symbiotic life is the Thunder Long Spear, an incarnation of the Principle of Thunder with terrifying power. Cultivators of the same level stand no chance in front of her, only to be crushed.

Even the domains of those with an Innate Magic Body could be pierced by her spear.

However, the two youths besieging Lu Lingxuan were obviously not ordinary; they existed on the same level as Lu Lingxuan.

One of the youths was shrouded in golden light, wielding a war sword of astonishing power. He too activated his domain to counter Lu Lingxuan’s, seizing an opportunity to cleave her domain open, nearly bisecting her at the waist.

"This youth must be from the Three Emperors Alliance. So powerful... could he also possess an Initial Body? And the other, with a divine halo floating behind his head, could he be from the Divine Clan? What kind of talent does he have to be so powerful?"

Lu Yan pondered.

Of course, Lu Yan didn’t recognize these two youths.

These two were none other than Sword Saint Situ and Shen Yueren.

Bang!

Shen Yueren’s palm, interweaving three colors, smashed through Lu Lingxuan’s domain, hitting her shoulder and causing her to tremble and cough up blood as she staggered back.

"Three kinds of rules fused together," thought Lu Yan, his heart trembling with realization.

Aside from himself, this was the first time he’d seen another cultivator who had fused three kinds of rules.

"We can’t wait any longer, Xiao Yin. Have the True Beasts make their move."

Lu Yan communicated to Xiao Yin telepathically.

"Okay."

Xiao Yin replied, and then an invisible fluctuation was transmitted.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Seven True Beasts lying in ambush immediately pounced out.

Why seven? Because one was the earliest subdued Leopard True Beast.

Under Xiao Yin’s command, they obeyed unconditionally, ready to lay down their lives without hesitation.

Thus, they struck with full force.

Tao Seals on their bodies shone brightly, blazing like flames.

Burning the Tao Magic Seals, they maximized their power to the extreme.

Especially the three True Beasts of the Immortal Ninth Layer, whose power amplified significantly after burning their Tao Seals.

Those people, although wary of their surroundings, did not anticipate seven such powerful True Beasts suddenly attacking.

And the seven True Beasts did not attack separately but focused mainly on one person.

Gurgle!

That person, under the assault of seven formidable True Beasts, was instantly torn to shreds.

With one member of the twelve-person Sword Array killed, the array was broken, and its power significantly diminished.

Roar, roar...

After killing one, the seven True Beasts turned their attack on the second person.

This person, although he reacted, desperately defended himself but was sent flying, his body bearing two gashes that nearly tore him apart.

With one dead and another injured, the broken Sword Array left Sword Saint Situ and Shen Yueren exposed as the next targets of the seven True Beasts.

"Scram!"

"Courting death."

Sword Saint Situ and Shen Yueren, filled with murderous intent, bellowed angrily, unleashing their killing moves.

Gurgle!

A True Beast of the Immortal Ninth Layer was sent flying thousands of meters by Sword Saint Situ’s blade, a fierce wound across its chest.

Another True Beast of the Immortal Ninth Layer was punched in the forehead by Shen Yueren, stumbling backward with blood seeping from its nose and mouth.

But for Lu Lingxuan, this was an excellent opportunity.

She unleashed all her potential, merging with the spear to become one, transforming into a Thunder Long Spear, bursting forward. With a ’puff’, she killed a blocking expert and then rapidly advanced towards the distance.

"Damn it, you think you can escape? Sword Cry Heaven’s Kill!"

Sword Saint Situ roared, a terrifying Sword Light slashing two True Beasts of the Immortal Seventh and Eighth Layers, aiming to pursue Lu Lingxuan. But the Immortal Ninth Layer True Beast previously sent flying by him returned once more, recklessly charging at him, blocking his path.

"Hurry up and chase! What are you dawdling for? Lu Lingxuan is seriously injured, she won’t last long. Chase her down for a hefty reward."

Sword Saint Situ bellowed, striking with all his might at the True Beast.

Gurgle!

One of the True Beast’s legs was cleaved off, but it still lunged fearlessly towards Sword Saint Situ.

Shen Yueren, too, was entangled by a few True Beasts.

Although these True Beasts were no match for him, their fearless assault indeed slowed Shen Yueren down.
