Chapter 128: The Immortal Palace Master
The old man curled his fingers into a claw and fiercely struck Shi Jian's back. His fingers were like the hardest weapons, metal clanging, and runes densely appearing, shattering the sky!
The attack was incredibly swift and fierce. Another Divine Flame Realm expert wore an archer's ring, from which luster flowed. Coupled with burning his vital essence, his being exuded Killing Intent like a sea.
The two men's attacks instantly landed on Shi Jian. Shi Jian was hit hard, and the Nether God's Armor on his body emitted faint light, blocking ninety percent of the damage.
However, the terrifying power still penetrated the Nether God's Armor, injuring his physical body. Such an attack, if it landed on an ordinary Divine Flame Realm expert, would obliterate him.
But unfortunately, they hit Shi Jian. Shi Jian's foundation was profound; although injured, vitality surged from his body in a blink.
Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture! Instantly, his injuries healed, and his entire being returned to his peak state.
"How is this possible?" The old man and the other Divine Flame Realm expert exclaimed in shock. They had expected their fatal blow to at least severely injure Shi Jian.
They didn't expect most attacks blocked by the armor, inflicting only minor injury. What was more critical was his instant recovery. His vitality was terrifying!
The old man and the other Divine Flame Realm expert felt dread. The strength Shi Jian displayed was alarming.
His attack power could instantly kill Divine Flame Realm experts. His defense could withstand the strongest attacks. His vitality could heal instantly.
His speed was maximized by the Kunpeng Law. He could tank, hit, and recover. And he was fast. How could they fight him?
"Annihilate!!!" Despite his internal shock, the old man roared. He raised his hand and struck forward, his arm transforming into a giant golden claw, incredibly sharp.
It instantly grabbed Shi Jian's true body. The speed was fierce. A true life-and-death battle had begun, allowing no respite.
Once started, it would be a world-shattering event. The old man deeply understood this.
Therefore, even surprised by Shi Jian's strength, he would not lose composure. Instead, he unleashed his full power.
The other expert understood this principle. A long spear suddenly appeared in his hand, radiating dazzling aura.
The two experts once again unleashed fatal Killing Intent. Shi Jian also reacted, letting out a long roar.
Then, blades of grass took root in the Void Realm, verdant green. At this moment, these blades of grass erupted with soaring light.
Each blade of grass was a Divine Sword, cutting across the sky. All the Sword Qi surged upwards, exceptionally brilliant.
These Sword Qi surrounded Shi Jian, then instantly shot into the sky. Grass Character Sword Art.
The terrifying Sword Qi surged towards the two Divine Flame Realm experts. The old man from the Immortal Palace was incredibly fast; his body flickered like a ghost, constantly changing direction.
He avoided many sword lights. The golden great claw his arm transformed into was unparalleled in sharpness, continuously striking down Sword Qi.
This person's true form was a ferocious bird, possessing extreme speed. That's why he was so fast.
However, the other Divine Flame Realm expert was not so fortunate. He couldn't dodge the dense Grass Character Sword Qi.
He could only fiercely raise the long spear, an incredibly sharp aura emanating from it, protecting him.
After being bombarded by countless Sword Qi, the light on the long spear dimmed. A pained expression flashed across the man's face.
Clearly, this long spear had an extraordinary origin; it was a True God's weapon. But now, all its power was consumed.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot..." Shi Jian looked at them and sneered dismissively.
If you can't block my basic attacks, wouldn't you explode if I used my skills?
Shi Jian's gaze sharpened. He unleashed the highest Sword Intent he had mastered. Verdant grass crisscrossed the sky, and runes were severed.
Dazzling light erupted, changing heaven and earth. The Kunpeng flapped its wings, the grass sword traversed the sky, or they fused, condensing into a single blade of grass, then manifesting as a rune.
The rune erupted instantly! The old man's sharp golden claw struck down, colliding with this rune.
Instantly, the old man's arm was pierced by the terrifying Sword Qi within the rune. His body reeled backward, trembled, and he coughed up blood!
With just one strike, the old man, who could be called invincible in the Divine Flame Realm, was severely wounded.
"Grass Character Sword Art!" Upon seeing this, the old man's eyes erupted with greed.
Shi Jian had given him too many surprises. The Grass Character Sword Art, the Kunpeng Law, and those unknown Divine Abilities...
Each seemed powerful. These were great opportunities. Unfortunately, Shi Jian and his friends were too strong.
With their strength, dealing with them seemed difficult. A fierce glint flashed in the old man's eyes.
"The final strike..." The old man unleashed his vital essence; he took a step forward, rushing like a divine rainbow, traversing on waves of energy.
From between his brows, a wisp of crimson light flew out. This was a mental attack!
At the same time, he flapped his wings, and a pair of golden wings, like divine swords, split open space and slashed towards Shi Jian.
He revealed his true form. Its power was unparalleled, incredibly fierce.
The other Divine Flame Realm expert, seeing this, conjured the long spear again. It hovered, emanating power.
"Burn the spirit, a final, extreme strike!" He activated his life origin, injecting it into the long spear.
He completely activated the power within the long spear. After this one strike, this True God-rank divine weapon would be completely destroyed.
The long spear, imbued with power, pierced the sky and attacked Shi Jian.
Shi Jian, seeing this, shot out a cold light from his eyes. The Nether God's Spear instantly appeared in his hand.
He flicked the long spear, directly meeting the wisp of crimson light from the old man's brow. This wisp of crimson light was a mental attack.
Within the Nether God's Spear, there was a mental attack imbued with the will of Hell.
How could the old man's mental attack compare to the will of Hell? In just an instant, the old man's mental attack was obliterated.
A fierce glint flashed in Shi Jian's eyes, and the Nether God's Spear instantly shot towards the other Divine Flame Realm expert.
Explosive power was added to the Nether God's Spear. It made a sound of piercing the air.
On the long spear, endless consciousness of gods and ghosts seemed entwined. This was the strongest strike.
The long spear and the other Divine Flame Realm expert's divine weapon collided in the Void Realm, terrifying waves sweeping out.
The two mutually consumed energy. At this moment, Shi Jian again used the Kunpeng Law.
Kunpeng wings appeared behind him, vibrating, and Yin and Yang Qi emerged.
"Let's see whose wings are harder, yours or mine..." Shi Jian charged towards the old man's scissor-like golden wings.
His entire being transformed into a bolt of lightning. The golden wings, which were the old man's true form, and the Kunpeng feather wings, which Shi Jian's Kunpeng Law had conjured, collided in the Void Realm at incredibly high speed.
Both were symbols of extreme speed. And they represented ultimate sharpness.
In a blink, the two collided hundreds of times in the Void Realm.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang..." Sounds like weapons clashing continuously rang out. Wing against wing.
Shi Jian, however, seemed relaxed. His wings were merely formed by the Kunpeng Law. They merely displayed the profound truth of runes. They were illusory.
Unlike the old man, whose wings were his true form. Touching them hurt, grazing them hurt!
In the Void Realm, countless golden feathers fell. These were from the old man's true form.
When his divine wings collided with the Kunpeng divine wings, all the feathers on his body were cut off.
His golden wings were covered in wounds. "How is this possible... Is this the power of the Kunpeng Law!"
The old man cried out in alarm. As a ferocious bird, his wings were terrifying.
Not only could they grant him extreme speed, but they also possessed ultimate sharpness. They could easily decapitate other Divine Flame Realm experts.
Comparable to Heavenly God weapons. Yet now, they were cut off by the divine wings formed by Shi Jian's Kunpeng Law.
Was this Kunpeng Law truly so powerful? Just by the mystery of runes, it cut off his true form.
"Turned into a bald bird?" Shi Jian looked at the bald fleshy wings behind the old man and chuckled softly.
The old man's expression was ugly. He glanced around, and his expression became even uglier.
He couldn't win. He simply couldn't win. He couldn't defeat Shi Jian.
And the Divine Flame Realm expert with him was even more of a drag. He only dared to rely on his divine weapon to harass from the side.
He didn't even dare to step forward and fight Shi Jian. Everyone else was embroiled in fierce combat, even at a disadvantage.
He couldn't even call for more reinforcements to surround Shi Jian. How could there be so many powerful experts in this Lower Realm?
The old man truly couldn't understand. He gritted his teeth, unleashing his vital essence again, and his entire being manifested his true form, a ferocious bird similar to a Golden-winged Great Peng.
Its body glowed, and an astonishing aura permeated the air. It was just that the pair of featherless fleshy wings somewhat ruined the overall image.
"A life-or-death strike. If it fails, then I'll use the final killing move..." The old man's voice reached the other Divine Flame Realm expert.
That Divine Flame Realm expert gritted his teeth and also used the Blood Burning Secret Art. The Blood Burning Secret Art he had used before was a sustained type, continuously unleashing blood Qi with low consumption and low benefits.
But now, he was truly using a desperate, life-or-death method. His aura suddenly increased by several degrees.
He had to fight for his life. The True God divine weapon in his hand had been severed by Shi Jian's Nether God's Spear.
Without his divine weapon's protection, if he didn't fight for his life, he probably wouldn't even have the chance before being killed by Shi Jian.
The ferocious bird, transformed from the old man, was the first to attack Shi Jian. The Divine Flame Realm expert, who had unleashed his blood Qi, followed closely behind.
Shi Jian, seeing this, used his true killing move! The Giant Elephant within his body roared, and an ancient, vast aura emanated from him.
Power of the Giant Elephant. One Giant Elephant after another, formed by runes, appeared beside him.
And endless runes turned into ocean waves. Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist!
Shi Jian fiercely punched out, and a boundless ocean carrying the power of one Giant Elephant after another surged forward...
The entire heaven and earth trembled, like a doomsday catastrophe.
"Shit!" The Golden-winged Great Peng transformed from the old man clashed with the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, and its wings were instantly shattered.
Absolute death crisis enveloped the old man. He cursed. Such a terrifying attack.
How could they fight it? The old man unhesitatingly brought out his final trump card: a drop of True Blood!
A drop of True Blood from a Crippled Immortal. All the old man's vital energy was drying up; all his power was poured into this drop of True Blood.
This was a method the Crippled Immortal had given him when he descended to the Lower Realm.
If he encountered insurmountable danger, he could activate this drop of blood to awaken its power.
No matter what, the descendants of the Sinful Blood must be killed. This was the Crippled Immortal's decree.
It was evident how wary the Crippled Immortal was of the great fiend of Sinful Blood.
Using such over-the-top power came with a huge price. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the old man did not want to use this power.
However, at this critical juncture of life and death, he had no choice.
The blood shone with dazzling divine light in the Void Realm, so blinding that people couldn't open their eyes.
A hazy phantom materialized, and a majestic aura suppressed the surroundings. This power was terrifyingly frightening.
The phantom gradually solidified; it was a bronze Immortal Palace. Vast and boundless, majestic and grand.
It seemed to carry terrifying pressure and Immortal Qi power descended. This was the phantom of the Immortal Palace.
Cast from bronze, it had a hazy feeling. But it allowed one to feel the boundless, grand profound truth within it.
Many phantoms connected to this bronze palace. The great door of the bronze palace suddenly opened.
An extremely brilliant light erupted. After the light dissipated, a figure appeared before everyone.
The figure had an ethereal, immortal demeanor, with Immortal Qi swirling around him. Like an unrivaled True Immortal.
This person was blurry, his true appearance unclear, but the aura on his body was terrifyingly formidable.
"Greetings, Palace Master!" The old man respectfully saluted this figure.
Immortal Palace Master. The Crippled Immortal appeared!
