Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 664 - 658 Heaven and Earth One Slash, Completely Annihilated_1

Chapter 664: Chapter 658 Heaven and Earth One Slash, Completely Annihilated_1

The immense Golden-Winged Peng Bird, too vast to fully comprehend, brought with it an asphyxiating pressure.

Accompanied by the calamitous clouds, it left behind a trail of never-ending spatial destruction in its wake, a testament to its combat prowess.

The six Mahayana Stage Cultivators were scared out of their wits. In that moment, they finally understood why the Tai Xu Alliance and Huang Shan Alliance had abandoned them.

They would have made the same choice themselves.

Their only mistake was being one of the cultivators who had entered the Lingbao Sect...

Regret came too late for them. Not wanting to suffer the same fate as the Wushan Alliance cultivators, they fled with all their might, hoping to preserve their lives.

Six figures tore through the Void, fleeing in six different directions.

Without prior agreement, they made the same choice.

The space in the Cultivation World is limited. Even if it were several times larger, how many round trips could the Golden-Winged Peng Bird make?

Fleeing together would only result in them being caught in one fell swoop by the Golden-Winged Peng Bird. Scattering increased their odds of survival.

Who escaped to see another day and who died by its claws was all down to luck.

In that moment, they prayed in their hearts, "Don’t chase me..."

If the Golden-Winged Peng Bird pursued someone else, their own chances of survival would significantly increase.

Better a comrade dies than I.

The Golden-Winged Peng Bird followed closely, effortlessly plunging into the Void and chasing after... the fastest-fleeing Mahayana Stage Cultivator.

This person flew on their Black Blood Long Knife, leaving behind a dark-red trail through the Void.

The stench of blood permeated the air, lingering and corrosive, marking all it touched.

Why are you chasing me?!

Kong Wu, using the Spirit Escape Technique and assisted by the light of the Mysterious Spirit Blood Blade, sped away, leaving all others in the dust. He had the highest hope of escaping with his life.

Unfortunately, the tallest tree attracts the wind; he was the first to be hunted...

Kong Wu’s heart turned cold, filled with bitter regret.

It was all because his performance had been too outstanding.

In an instant, the distance between them closed, and an overwhelming, tide-like pressure bore down upon him.

Kong Wu realized he had no chance of escaping the Golden-Winged Peng Bird’s clutches—no one could match this beast in speed.

His only hope for survival was to fight with everything he had!

He brandished the Mysterious Spirit Blood Blade, pouring his boiling Spiritual Power unreservedly into it, its gleam teeming with an unmatched power of blood.

Burning his own life force, he swung out with all his strength.

All to carve out a path to survival.

"Heaven and Earth One Slash!"

A crimson scar stretching tens of thousands of li emerged in the Void, as if to split the Void asunder, leaving behind an enduring bloodstain.

This slash seemed capable of sundering the heavens and splitting the earth; it felt as if nothing in the world could withstand its force.

All beings with blood lost control of it upon nearing the bloodstain, their bodies exploding into death.

The slash missed its target, hitting nothing but empty space. Within his divine consciousness, there was no sign of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird.

Burning his very being, he had unleashed the pinnacle attack of his life, only to strike the void...

No matter how powerful an attack, it must hit its target to be effective...

"You clearly could have blocked my strike; why did you dodge..."

Before Kong Wu could finish his accusatory words, a surge of bloodlight erupted, rapidly condensing into an eighth-order Blood Demon King with devilish horns.

Before the Blood Demon King could fully manifest, it and Kong Wu were shredded into dregs by the destructive force.

"Only a fool likes being hit!" Jia Ren thought.

In the Golden-Winged Peng Bird form, he pursued ultimate speed. The Black Tortoise Form was for enduring blows.

To not display the Golden-Winged Peng Bird’s speed to its fullest and instead choose to tank an opponent’s strike would be absolute lunacy.

Kong Wu perished, his body dissolving into a scattering of black blood. Before it could even coalesce, a blaze of Southern Ming Separation Fire ignited it.

The black blood struggled within the white flames, barely enduring for ten breaths before both blood and spirit were extinguished.

Feng Wu and Zhu Yan had reached their growth stage more than thirty years ago. Compared to their juvenile phase, the might of the Southern Ming Separation Fire and Phoenix Flame had increased more than threefold.

This was not their limit; as the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix grew stronger, so too would the flames.

Reaching maturity would bring a true qualitative transformation in their power.

The first target was eliminated, and the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, the Mysterious Spirit Blood Blade, was in hand.

Jia Ren’s razor-sharp golden eagle eyes gazed across the distance, locking onto the next target as if spanning tens of thousands of li.

With a beat of his wings, he vanished.

When he reappeared, he had crossed tens of thousands of li, arriving beside another fleeing Mahayana Stage Cultivator.

If the six of them had joined forces, while the outcome would not have changed, it would have at least taken him more effort to slay them.

Once they scattered, fleeing individually, they became disorganized stragglers, unable to withstand a single blow.

No matter how far they fled, it was all in vain. Once he locked onto them, no one could escape his grasp.

Compared to the battle with the Wushan Alliance, Jia Ren had improved slightly, handling Mahayana Stage Cultivators with even greater ease.

With the Dual Law Manifests Heaven and Earth and the Golden-Winged Peng Bird form, unless their Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures were defensive, most could not withstand three moves from Jia Ren.

"One more to go!"

Five of the invading Mahayana Stage Cultivators were dead. Only one remained, their whereabouts unknown; even his keen golden eyes had lost track of the target.

The last Mahayana Stage Cultivator either specialized in concealment or possessed a treasure to hide their aura, thus evading his pursuit.

"Tracing Bizarre Talisman!"

He used the Bewildering Spirit Bead’s influence to prevent anyone from discovering his use of the Tracing Bizarre Talisman, avoiding potential future complications.

Utilizing the opponent’s residual aura, he activated the Tracing Bizarre Talisman.

Instantly, large swathes of faint shadows appeared in the Void, affecting an area thousands of li wide.

This person, using some unknown Divine Skill, had merged their body into the Void, becoming a part of it, seemingly omnipresent.

As long as even a single faint shadow remained, it meant this person could not be killed.

"Burn!"

Vast amounts of Southern Ming Separation Fire descended, igniting the areas where the faint shadows lingered.

Only at this moment did the hidden Mahayana Stage Cultivator realize escape was impossible. He revealed his true form, his right palm holding a black pearl already ignited by the Southern Ming Separation Fire.

He flew forward with the Black Pearl, intending to detonate the Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure in mid-air.

If escape from the Golden-Winged Peng Bird was impossible, better to destroy this precious treasure than to let the enemy benefit from it.

Thinking of self-destructing in front of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird?!

Not to mention whether it was possible, the truth was you couldn’t even singe a feather.

From the moment Jia Ren discovered him, all resistance had been futile.

Golden light crisscrossed as myriad golden feathers converged, forming what seemed like a Celestial Cluster Divine Blade slashing downward.

The Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, the Black Pearl, was not adept at defense. How could it withstand an attack from the Golden-Winged Peng Bird empowered by the State of Dual Law Manifests Heaven and Earth?

The black screen formed by the Black Pearl tore apart. The Mahayana Stage Cultivator hidden within was slashed to pieces before he could self-destruct.

All six invading Mahayana Stage Cultivators were executed in the Void; not a single one escaped.

Their fate had been sealed from the moment they invaded the Lingbao Sect and chose to go on a killing spree.

The enormous golden Peng Bird shuttled through the Void, searching for the vanished Yuxu Flying Boat.

Jia Ren, no longer constrained by Bizarre Demons, sought more than just the six Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.

The two Jade Void Divine Boats had fled too swiftly, disappearing before he even arrived.

The opposing party likely possessed a precious treasure that could conceal their aura. Since they hadn’t formally encountered each other, he hadn’t been able to preemptively capture their aura, rendering the Tracing Bizarre Talisman useless.

While Jia Ren battled the six Mahayana Stage Cultivators, those aboard the two Jade Void Divine Boats had used their golden-pupiled eyes to observe the battlefield, gaining a general understanding although they couldn’t oversee the entire battle.

"This person isn’t an Immortal! Just a Mid-Stage Integration cultivator?!"

"A Body Integration Realm cultivator with an enormous body nearly 90,000 zhang tall? What kind of monster is this that has suddenly appeared?"

The Mahayana Stage Cultivators on the two Jade Void Divine Boats, realizing they had been frightened away by a Mid-Stage Integration cultivator, were both furious and humiliated, briefly entertaining the thought of turning back for a surprise attack.

However, upon seeing Jia Ren transform into the Golden-Winged Peng Bird with a 90,000 li wingspan, effortlessly slaughtering Mahayana Stage Cultivators, their death-seeking thoughts vanished instantly.

The image of the six Mahayana Stage Cultivators dying helplessly was where their observation ended.

One of them couldn’t help but feel relieved that he had made the right decision to flee.

"This person is a Body Integration Realm cultivator! When he advances to the Mahayana Realm and faces the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation, that will be our day of revenge!"

"That day will not be far off!"

The cultivators from the Tai Xu Alliance and the Huang Shan Alliance, aboard their Jade Void Divine Boats, disappeared as they continued their search for other Cultivation Worlds.

However, they believed it wouldn’t be long before they returned to the Mysterious Realm.

When that time came, they would exact revenge for every grievance!

They would settle every score!

"I wonder if they’ll ever return to the Mysterious Realm as guests?" Jia Ren mused.

"Next time they come, I’ll be sure to give them a warm reception."

The Golden-Winged Peng Bird flapped its wings and returned to the Mysterious Realm, its talons clutching six masses of flesh and blood, along with six Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.

This was his greatest harvest from this venture!

The tribulation clouds still lingered in the sky, casting down strands of blue-green lightning, desperately trying to assert their presence.

The constant baptism of lightning had no effect on Jia Ren in his strongest form.

His body was too powerful, greatly diminishing the efficacy of Body Refinement.

He could only deactivate the Dual Law Manifests Heaven and Earth and the Golden-Winged Peng Bird form, once again transforming into the Ancient Thunder Roc to roam within the lightning.

Amidst the myriad bolts of electricity, he bathed in thunder. Not a single strand of lightning within the tribulation clouds was missed; Jia Ren absorbed it all into his body.

Most of it was used for Thunder Refinement of his body, with a portion tempering the Deceiving the Heavens Pearl, helping it grow stronger.

He was progressing in both Artifact Refining and Body Refinement.

"Still not enough. The quantity is far too little."

He had pushed two Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure Tribulations to their maximum might, yet even so, the tribulation power was still insufficient.

He had only gathered one-tenth of what was needed for rebirth from a single drop of blood.

To continue enhancing himself through Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure Tribulations, he would need to interfere with eighteen more Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures.

Besides this, there was another method: his own heavenly tribulation.

His Cultivation Level was not far from the Integrating Body Late Stage. By devouring Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures to increase his power, reaching the Combined Body Perfection of the Body Integration Realm would not be difficult.

Before he could even interfere with eighteen Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure Tribulations, his own Mahayana Thunder Tribulation was sure to arrive...

"It’s time to return!"

Jia Ren transformed back into the Golden-Winged Peng Bird and first made a trip to the eastern branch of the Lingbao Sect.

The casualties here were severe. The Lianxu Stage and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators who had stepped forward to defend had all died tragically on the spot, their Divine Souls obliterated.

A flame seemed to burn within Jia Ren’s eyes. If not for his inability to locate the two Jade Void Divine Boats, he would have undoubtedly hunted down and exterminated every last invader.

After quickly handling these matters and assisting in the repair of the ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array, he finally returned to the Main Lingbao Sect.

"Grand Elder, what’s the situation?"

Upon seeing Jia Ren’s return, the upper echelons of the Main Lingbao Sect couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"The cultivators on the Jade Void Divine Boats have all fled," the Grand Elder reported. "However, those who dared to trespass into the Lingbao Sect and go on a killing spree have all been brought to justice."
