Chapter 559 - 534: Slaying the Initial Body

The four great demons joined forces to launch their strongest strike, aiming to kill Lu Lingxuan together.

Four attacks, turning into dazzling light, bombarded towards Lu Lingxuan.

Lu Lingxuan’s face was pale, but her eyes were filled with an unyielding determination.

Even facing certain death, she wouldn’t just accept her fate.

"To kill me, you all will have to pay the price."

Lu Lingxuan’s eyes revealed a determined look as she fixed her gaze on Sword Saint Situ.

She planned to take someone down with her before she died.

Among the four great demons, Lou Lingxue and Shen Shengming were too far away.

The only ones she had a chance against were Zhao Tianxia and Sword Saint Situ.

And with Zhao Tianxia being the stronger of the two, Sword Saint Situ was the most suitable target.

Just as Lu Lingxuan was about to burn herself up and strike with her life on the line, a dense mass of runes suddenly appeared in front of the Heavenly Machine Arrow, turning into a turtle shell shield.

Boom!

The Heavenly Machine Arrow struck the turtle shell shield, erupting in a violent roar. The shield shattered, but the Heavenly Machine Arrow was blocked.

At the same time, on the other side, a sun fell from the sky.

No, it wasn’t a sun but a furnace, burning fiercely, radiating intense heat, much like the sun.

It was the Great Sun Melting Furnace.

The Great Sun Melting Furnace, as big as a mountain, poured down flames colliding with Shen Shengming’s attack, blocking it.

A beautiful figure stood atop the Great Sun Melting Furnace, floating like a celestial being.

In front of Zhao Tianxia and Sword Saint Situ, a slash of knife light descended.

This knife light seemed to come from beyond the heavens, severing the eternal.

All attacks from Zhao Tianxia and Sword Saint Situ were blocked by the knife light.

"Zhao Tianxia and Sword Saint Situ, we’ll settle all our scores today."

A figure descended from the sky, hair flying wildly, akin to a demon god.

His eyes flashed like lightning, his killing intent like a blade, chilling the skin of Zhao Tianxia and Sword Saint Situ.

"Lu Yan..."

Sword Saint Situ growled.

"It’s Lu Yan, how is this possible?"

Zhao Tianxia, Lou Lingxue, and Shen Shengming couldn’t help but yell out, their faces filled with disbelief.

Wasn’t Lu Yan lost in the World of Ten Thousand Universes, without the guidance of the Tianji Guide? How did he get out?

"Lu Yan!"

Lu Lingxuan also exclaimed, but her exclamation was thick with joy, and her eyes shone brightly.

She didn’t know how Lu Yan had come out.

But it was good that he did.

Zhao Tianxia, Sword Saint Situ, Shen Shengming, and Lou Lingxue, being extraordinary beings, quickly regained their composure.

"Lu Yan, although I don’t know how you got out of the World of Ten Thousand Universes, you should have hidden after coming out. That way, you might have stayed alive, but now you’ve run out to court death, so let’s send you on your way," Zhao Tianxia said coldly.

He still had full confidence.

So what if Lu Yan came out?

Even with both Lu Yan and Lu Lingxuan, it would still be just the two of them, while there were four of them.

As for Shen Yinuo and Mr. World, he disregarded them.

Though they had just blocked the attacks from Lou Lingxue and Shen Shengming, that was only for one move and did not mean they could compete with them.

Together, the four of them could still take down both Lu Yan and Lu Lingxuan, eliminating the two demons of the Dragon Alliance.

"It’s you who will be leaving," Lu Yan said indifferently, no longer wasting words and lunged towards Zhao Tianxia and Sword Saint Situ.

His arms shook, his palms turned into blades, slashing towards the two.

Above his arms, five types of rules orbited, merging into the color of chaos.

"Dayu Tianque Fist."

The body of Zhao Tianxia was like the Five Stars Connected Pearl, radiating dazzling light as he punched out. Ancient halls flew from his fists, possessing terrifying power able to pulverize anything in front of him.

As Lu Yan and Zhao Tianxia made their moves, the others also took action.

Lou Lingxue shot another Heavenly Machine Arrow, but Mr. World stood in front of her, evolving a huge Formation that blocked the Heavenly Machine Arrow.

Shen Yinuo, clothed in blood, merged with the Great Sun Melting Furnace, fighting fiercely against the Initial Body Shen Shengming.

For a time, Shen Yinuo was not at a disadvantage at all; in fact, she even seemed to have the upper hand, which infuriated Shen Shengming greatly.

Lu Lingxuan, on the other hand, became one with her spear, turning into a dragon-shaped spear light, attacking Sword Saint Situ.

Clang! Clang!

The palm blade of Lu Yan struck the ancient halls, making an ear-splitting roar.

After two strikes, cracks covered the ancient halls.

Thud!

When Lu Yan’s third strike descended, the halls exploded into smithereens.

Lu Yan’s palm continued forward, hitting Zhao Tianxia directly.

Zhao Tianxia’s body, like a statue, caved in and was sent flying, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

"You..."

Zhao Tianxia was utterly shocked, his eyes even filled with intense fear.

In a head-on collision, he had been overwhelmingly defeated by Lu Yan. How was that possible?

He was a perfectly complete being, favored by heaven and earth, not the least bit inferior to an Initial Body, and even some Initial Bodies were not as strong as him.

With the Five Stars Connected Pearl, ’I am invincible’ was his belief.

But now, he had been effortlessly crushed, and he found it hard to believe.

"Impossible, suppress me..."

Zhao Tianxia bellowed, his body turning into a bronze color.

From within him, a colossal bronze man emerged, as large as a mountain, lifting the ancient halls to strike down at Lu Yan.

"People perish..."

Lu Yan stepped forward, his palm blade slicing out. With a clang, the Bronze Man and the halls exploded. The blade light continued, slashing towards Zhao Tianxia.

Splat!

Zhao Tianxia had no strength to resist and was cleaved in half.

Soul Stab!

The next moment, Lu Yan’s glabella shone brightly as seven soul stabs flew out consecutively.

The Soul Stabs targeted Zhao Tianxia’s Primordial Spirit, piercing into it.

By now, Lu Yan’s cultivation level had already reached the peak of Immortal Ninth Layer, and his Primordial Spirit was incredibly powerful. His Soul Strength surged like a tidal wave, fierce and overwhelming. The Soul Stabs he conjured possessed astonishing might.

Although Zhao Tianxia geared up all his defenses at once, it was utterly futile.

When the seven Soul Stabs descended, Zhao Tianxia’s Primordial Spirit exploded, vanishing into ash.

Sword Saint Situ, Lou Lingxue, and Shen Shengming gasped in shock, the terrifying chill akin to having ice water poured over them in winter, making them shiver uncontrollably.

Especially Sword Saint Situ, who trembled in sheer terror, his soul nearly escaping his body, his first thought was to flee.

He must flee, flee far away, never to encounter Lu Yan again.

He was well aware of Zhao Tianxia’s strength.

Yet such a powerful Zhao Tianxia was effortlessly obliterated by Lu Yan, reduced to nothingness in just a few moves.

But as Sword Saint Situ thought to escape, Lu Yan gave him no chance.

Moreover, Lu Lingxuan was already entangling him.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

Lu Yan’s glabella shone as seven Soul Stabs flew out, aiming for Sword Saint Situ.

"No..."

Sword Saint Situ bellowed in horror, defending with all his might.

He activated the Magic River Phantom to protect himself and utilized Soul Defence Treasures to guard his Primordial Spirit, while also casting soul defense magic...

But all this was in vain.

As the seven Soul Stabs struck, Sword Saint Situ’s soul screamed in agony, nearly being torn apart.

Whoosh!

Lu Yan stepped on lightning and appeared in front of Sword Saint Situ in an instant, slashing with his hand, the Death Blade Light reemerging.

With a "pfft" sound, Sword Saint Situ was cleaved in two.

And with that slash, even his Primordial Spirit was obliterated, the force of death permeating his entire being, erasing his life-force.

An Initial Body was annihilated with a single strike.

Even Lu Lingxuan sucked in a breath of cold air, showing a look of astonishment.

"Escape..."

At this moment, Lou Lingxue and Shen Shengming were terrified out of their wits, nearly scared to death, as they frantically retreated.

But retreating wasn’t so easy.

Mr. World exerted all his strength to activate the ninth great Formation, with Formation Patterns filling the sky, trapping Lou Lingxue as if she were in a mire. Despite her frantic efforts, it was fruitless, making her escape impossible.

Meanwhile, Shen Yinuo had firmly ensnared Shen Shengming.

"Get out of my way!"

Shen Shengming roared, pushing his Initial Body’s abilities to the limit, and finally, taking a punch from Shen Yinuo, he broke free from her grasp.

But Shen Yinuo’s punch was terrifying, leaving him wounded.

Just as he was about to flee for his life, he saw Lu Yan appear in front of him, looking at him indifferently.

"Lu Yan, do not go too far, if you kill all of us, you will offend the three great forces. You better think it through. Can the Dragon Alliance keep you safe?"

Shen Shengming roared, issuing a threat.

"Babbling nonsense..."

Lu Yan spoke indifferently, his pupils transforming into two dark vortexes.

Ten Thousand Illusory Kingdom.

Shen Shengming felt the space around him twisting, and in an instant, he was transported to an unfamiliar place.

Lu Yan suddenly appeared in front of him without his noticing.

Pfft!

Lu Yan made his move, smashing Shen Shengming into pieces, his path and life extinguished.

By this time, Lou Lingxue was already full of fear.

For Lu Lingxuan had made her move, and together with Mr. World, they had caught her. She knew she could not escape.

"Sirs, please spare my life, my Heavenly Machine Gate holds no grudge with you, I beg you to spare me."

Lou Lingxue pleaded pitifully.

"With no grudge, yet you and Shen Shengming and Zhao Tianxia conspired against me, destroyed the Tianji Guide, almost trapping Lu Yan forever."

Lu Lingxuan rebuked coldly.

"That was a moment of folly on my part, Lu Yan, I beg of you, spare me. As long as you let me go, I will do anything, even become your maid, please..."

Lou Lingxue begged.

Pfft!

Lu Yan approached with thunder underfoot and struck Lou Lingxue into a mesh of flesh.

"You, to be my maid, worthy?"

Lu Yan muttered in his heart.

"Three Emperors Alliance, Divine Clan, and Heavenly Machine Gate, along with quite a few disciples, join forces."

Lu Yan’s gaze was electric as he looked into the distance.

In the wooded hills, disciples from the three forces were fleeing for their lives.

The commotion from the earlier battle alerted these disciples from the three forces.

Out of curiosity, they approached to observe but witnessed Lu Yan slaying all directions, exterminating Initial Bodies as though slaughtering dogs.

This sight frightened them senseless.

Once they snapped back to their senses, the disciples of the three forces fled desperately.

Swish swish swish...

Lu Yan and his group took to the air in pursuit.

However, the disciples of the three forces were numerous and had scattered in all directions to escape.

These people also had considerable strength, all around the Immortal Ninth Layer, wielding various profound techniques.

Some burrowed into the ground, some flew through the air, and some were adept at concealing themselves...

As a result, it was difficult for Lu Yan and his group to capture everyone at once.

"We can ignore the others, but Chu Hao must die."

Lu Yan spread his spiritual sense, locking onto the traitor of the Dragon Alliance, Chu Hao.
