Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 694 - 688: Breaking the Shackles? Bring On All Comers_1

Chapter 694: Chapter 688: Breaking the Shackles? Bring On All Comers_1

Fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortune does not come singly; the four Demon Lords of the Skies thought their opportunity had arrived.

At the same time, two Jade Void Divine Boats in the void had finally responded, opening the passage to the Mysterious Realm, and they hurriedly rushed towards this place.

The Tai Xu Alliance and the Huang Shan Alliance finally had a once-in-a-millennium opportunity and had to grasp it firmly.

If Jia Ren successfully ascended to the Mahayana Realm, there would be no chance for revenge. They would also bring down upon themselves a disaster of annihilation due to their spying.

The Demon Lords of the Skies and cultivators from the Tai Xu Alliance and the Huang Shan Alliance couldn’t wait to kick someone when they were down.

The attack on the divine soul by the celestial music did not last long—just before Jia Ren was about to be taken to the God-Slaying Platform, he finally regained control of his body.

He had always thought of himself as unmatched in the world, with few rivals left to challenge him. Yet, he had not anticipated such a huge setback under the Ninefold Celestial Tribulation so soon.

Black lightning chains bound him, incessantly destroying his body, dragging him forcefully towards the Black-Red Guillotine. This long sword, capable of slaying immortals and gods, was about to behead Jia Ren. One slash would sever his head, and not even a reborn True Immortal could possibly survive.

"Dual Law Manifests Heaven and Earth!"

"Kunpeng Form!"

Jia Ren dared not be the slightest bit careless and decisively activated the Kun State, the strongest among his forms.

In an instant, he reached the Triple Empyrean Elephant Earth and, combined with the maximum size of the Kunpeng Form, his body grew to a thousand miles in the blink of an eye. A wingspan of a thousand miles was the ultimate physical stretch for Kunpeng, a bottleneck he had touched upon long ago. With the Triple Empyrean Elephant Earth and the ceaseless influx of nature’s spiritual energy into his body, Jia Ren had the qualification to break through the limits of his bloodline shackles.

The sudden emergence of an enormous mass burst the Heavenly Palace. As the black chains and the Black-Red Guillotine relied on the existence of the Heavenly Palace, they too disappeared without a trace. An immense force of lightning energy gathered in the tribulation clouds as if to reform the shadow of the Heavenly Palace.

Countless black and red lightning bolts danced wildly, continuously striking down upon Kun. The massive black lightning was swallowed and neutralized by Kun as if it was a clay ox entering the sea. After the Ninefold Celestial Tribulation’s power increased tenfold, every black lightning bolt possessed a power that even Mahayana Stage Cultivators feared.

BOOM!

It wasn’t clear whether it was the power of the Heavenly Tribulation exceeding the limits of the Kunpeng’s body or the great force’s assault on the bloodline shackle that caused it. A loud boom came from within the body, and fresh red blood gushed from everywhere, instantly transforming into a bloodied Kun. Blood erupted, dyeing the sky-wide tribulation clouds red.

More and more black lightning struck down, shattering Kunpeng’s external defense. Flesh and blood turned to char rapidly, the destructive force invading the body. The formidable life force of Kunpeng was hindered by the black Heavenly Tribulation, yet it still retained an incredibly strong vitality. Destruction and rebirth alternated, seemingly trapped in the cycle of life and death.

"The opportunity has come!"

The Kunpeng form that Jia Ren had transformed into was enduring the baptism of countless black lightning bolts, but still couldn’t be destroyed.

The Heavenly Palace formed by the Ninefold Celestial Tribulation was shattered by it—this physique is truly terrifying! It’s almost like a living Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

The Demon Lords of the Skies were extremely covetous and couldn’t wait to invade Jia Ren’s body to claim it as their own. Four black smokes effortlessly drilled into the body of Kunpeng. At this moment, in addition to dealing with Jia Ren, they also had to compete with other Demon Lords of the Skies. It was not known whether it was tacit understanding among the Heavenly Demons or an unwritten rule, but the four Demon Lords of the Skies did not fight among themselves; instead, they worked together to deal with Jia Ren. Defeating a formidable enemy was the time for their internal strife.

"Haha, the opportunity has come!"

Sixteen figures flew out from the two Jade Void Divine Boats, their eyes fixated on the Kunpeng undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. They were both shocked and unable to hide their excitement.

It’s unexpected that, apart from transforming into a Golden-Winged Peng Bird, he can also become Kunpeng! To be in the Body Integration Realm and yet able to slay six Mahayana Stage Cultivators possessing Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures... Jia Ren must surely possess inconceivable Great Divine Powers! We have to obtain them, no matter what! Then, we too will possess the same powers, or even stronger ones!

The feast of the fallen whale commenced!

The four black smokes took the lead and plunged into the body of Kunpeng, diving into the endless black tide of lightning, using up a great deal of power to finally break through the heavy besiegement. Just upon entering the Sea of Consciousness, they were blinded by a dazzling sun, and the Heavenly Demon bodies instantly ignited.

"Damn it, this person has power that restrains us!"

"Celestial Demon Dance!"

"Nine Heavens Demon Chaos!"

The four Demon Lords of the Skies refused to give up their hard-won opportunity, casting similar Divine Skills to affect the divine soul and corrupt the mind. The endless tide of black Heavenly Demons met the fierce sunlight, conquering territory as it went and gradually approaching the opponent’s original force. Black tides were ignited occasionally, yet more power continued to succeed the fallen. As long as we taint it and transform it into our power, this loss will mean nothing.

At this moment, the Demon Lords of the Skies vaguely heard the sound of something shattering; the next second, the Divine Soul Sea turned scorching hot, and a red torrent swept over them. The black tide formed by the Heavenly Demon power was ignited upon contact, turning into nothingness with the rolling red torrents. Together, the four Demon Lords of the Skies were unable to resist; all their powers of opposition were in vain.

"He has broken through?!"

"This is impossible?!"

"How could Jia Ren, who had just ascended to the Mahayana Realm and was undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation of the same, possibly break through again?!"

However, the reality was indeed so.

The Dusk Treasured Light, Triple Empyrean Elephant Earth, Yang Anode Blood Essence Pill, and the Myriad Transformation Beast King’s Kunpeng Form, under the pressure of the Ninefold Celestial Tribulation, broke through their original shackles, reaching a realm that was unprecedented.

A single drop of my blood now possesses immense divine might!

The body, Spiritual Power, and Divine Soul of a Mahayana Stage Cultivator had become one, already fused together. The body broke through its limits with the help of the numerous powers, and the Divine Soul was nourished, becoming invulnerable.

The power of the four Demon Lords of the Skies was shattered by the blazing essence, and they scrambled to flee, desperately trying to leave this place.

"Now that you’ve come, don’t even think about leaving!"

Flames of five colors emerged, blocking all the escaping Demon Lords of the Skies’ paths. Trapping them like beating a dog in the manger! Facing the attack from both the Phoenix Flame and the crimson flood from the front and back, the bodies of the Demon Lords of the Skies blazed up entirely, and from their ashes, pure black Heavenly Demon Divine Crystals fell.

From the moment they attacked, their fate was sealed.

Meanwhile, the sixteen Cultivators from the Tai Xu Alliance and Wushan Alliance were still unaware, manipulating their Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures and Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures to launch attacks. There were many Mahayana Stage Cultivators within both alliances; it was not possible that each person had a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. With varied levels of skill, their overall strength was on par with that of the Wushan Alliance.

There were a total of nine Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. The Tai Xu Alliance had five, and the Huang Shan Alliance had four—all the treasures they had remaining. Not all Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures were extremely powerful; some were marginal and not suitable for combat. The Tai Xu Alliance and Huang Shan Alliance had lost a total of six Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures in the Mysterious Realm, greatly affecting their strength, and they were desperate to retrieve them.

Only five Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures rocketed towards the Kunpeng, each erupting with different abilities.

There was a black-gold longsword.

A string of blood-colored prayer beads.

A naturally formed Jade Ruyi.

A green lotus seed.

Lastly, what appeared to be an almond-shaped pupil.

The Black Sword had formidable destructive power and was invincible in slaughter, its strength seemingly originating from the same source as black thunder, cutting through the tribulation lightning like a hot knife through butter. The blood-colored prayer beads were demonic in nature; each bead consisted of a pure blood crystal, hiding the Power of the Law of Blood, capable of manipulating the blood within a Cultivator’s body. Everything touched by the jade light of the Jade Ruyi would appear to be turning to jade. Both the green lotus seed and the almond-shaped pupil had their mysterious effects; the former landed on the Kunpeng, absorbing blood qi and transforming into an eerie greenish-red lotus. The almond-shaped pupil wanted to replace the Kunpeng’s own, merging with it.

Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures were naturally occurring treasures, each with its own mysteries and even the Power of Laws. All five Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures were exceptionally extraordinary.

Following closely were the Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures. Given the scarcity of Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, for the greedy Mahayana Stage Cultivators, it was still possible to have two or three Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures per person.

Before the various Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures and Divine Skills could land on Jia Ren, the gigantic Kunpeng opened its eyes, its body expanding at an astonishing rate. In the blink of an eye, it had surpassed the limit of a thousand miles and soared to eight thousand miles, second only to the Kunpeng glimpsed in the Cloud Realm.

An even more terrifying aura burst forth. The black lightning seemed to have lost its previous lethality, no longer able to harm it in the slightest; the wounded areas were instantly restored to their original state. The Power of Laws in the blood-colored prayer beads could not shake the vast and intense blood qi, as boundless as the sea. The jade assimilation force was resisted, unable to invade the Kunpeng’s body, and causing the assimilation to proceed exceedingly slowly. Both the green lotus and the almond-shaped pupil were pushed out by a powerful force, unable to invade.

The black-gold longsword was the most powerful Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure with awe-inspiring lethality. It unleashed its most peak strength in this life, striking ruthlessly on the colossal body. The blade left only a shallow mark on the Scale Armor and could not penetrate any further. The Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures fared even worse, unable to leave even a single mark on the opponent’s body.

Such body strength... it’s frighteningly on par with a Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, isn’t it?! His strength is truly that of an Immortal in this world! If we had known Jia Ren was such a monster, why would we have bothered coming?

The Kunpeng’s gaze turned to the Cultivators of the Tai Xu Alliance and Wushan Alliance who had taken action. In an instant, they felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped on their heads, filling them with an indescribable chill.

This time, it seems we’re facing total annihilation...

"We... we’ll leave right away..." the Great Void Alliance Leader meekly replied, and the eighteen figures exhausted all their strength rushing back to the Jade Void Divine Boat, trying to escape the Mysterious Realm.

"I’ll escort you on your way."

The Kun transformed into the Great Roc, and its wings beat as if it had already replaced heaven and earth. When the Roc’s wings returned, there was no longer any living soul in sight. Death came too quickly; they did not suffer much pain, and that was truly fortunate.

Jia Ren dealt with the invading Cultivators from the Tai Xu Alliance and Huang Shan Alliance, then his gaze finally fell upon the Heavenly Tribulation. The power of the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation continued to accumulate, and the vanished silhouette of the Heavenly Palace reemerged, along with the menacing Black-Red Guillotine.

Even though my body has temporarily reached a limit-breaking level with external help, I can still feel an intense threat from this object.

"Swallow Heaven and Devour Earth!"

The Great Roc once again transformed into the Kun. Facing the clouds of tribulation, it opened its mouth wide. A powerful suction came from its mouth, like the sea that contains myriad streams, forcibly inhaling all of the tribulation clouds into its stomach.
