Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 1836 - 1827: Immortal Spirit Body
"Nothing more than this?"
Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Jiang Longwei’s eyes instantly narrowed, a cold light flashing through them. "You do have some skill, but if you think this is enough for you to look down on me, then you’re gravely mistaken."
"Wng..."
The moment his voice fell, the boundless Reverse Power on Jiang Longwei’s body erupted once again.
Golden Radiance flared, wrapping his entire person within, like some Ancient Divine Being descending.
"Thousand Thunder Illusion Kill!"
With his furious shout, in the dim Heaven and Earth, vast swathes of purple-black Thunder Light suddenly erupted.
In an instant, the Thunder Light covered the entire Void.
And these Thunder Lights felt completely different from what one would imagine. They actually transformed into countless tiny, razor-sharp blades, forming a curtain of sword rain that swept toward Mo Wangchen’s direction, hacking down from the sky.
"Wng..."
Although his Divine Sea had already completely recovered, and his strength had thus increased by more than one level, facing Jiang Longwei, whose cultivation was at Reverse Life Realm Fifth Layer, Mo Wangchen did not dare show the slightest bit of carelessness.
In a flash, he pushed his Divine Sea to the extreme, and the two great Supreme Saint Techniques, the Haotian God Technique and the Creation Immortal Scripture, were unleashed.
"Zzzt zzzt zzzt..."
The Dao Heaven Sword in his hand swung out; a single sword thrust forward, and from just that one strike, hundreds and thousands of streaks of Sword Light shot out, meeting those blades condensed from Thunder Light, slashing forward.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Continuous shattering sounds rang out, shaking the entire Void. Under the gazes of everyone present, they finally saw the two torrents of sword rain collide, as if two worlds of swords were crashing together. The terrifying aura exploding from that clash made everyone present involuntarily hold their breath.
"The Divine King Body lives up to its name. Such a terrifying sword strike is no weaker than that of an ordinary Reverse Life Realm Fourth Layer expert, and can even compare to a full-power blow from a typical Reverse Life Realm Fifth Layer expert!"
"So this is Mo Wangchen’s true strength? No wonder even those two geniuses, Li Xuan and Xiao Ran, had to die with regret in his hands!"
"To think that aside from the East Emperor, Southern Immortal, and the others, the Chaos Universe still hides such an unexpected top-tier powerhouse!"
All around, the crowd buzzed with discussion; no one could keep the shock off their faces. They watched those two Sword Seas collide and finally both collapse into nothingness, and in the end, not a single person could speak.
"If our cultivation were the same, to kill you, one sword would be enough."
After a brief silence, Mo Wangchen’s indifferent words echoed throughout the arena.
A simple sentence, yet it left everyone with no way to refute it.
Indeed, he was now only at Reverse Life Realm First Layer, yet the battle power he erupted with was entirely not beneath Jiang Longwei. If their cultivation today had been at the same Realm, Jiang Longwei would definitely have been unable to withstand him!
Facing Mo Wangchen’s calm words, Jiang Longwei also fell silent. At the same time, his eyes grew even colder, killing intent flooding out.
"Wng..."
Suddenly, from another direction in the Void, a sky-piercing Sword Force roared up. The one who had remained silent all this time—Jian Yi—finally could not hold back and made his move.
This was absolutely a king among swordsmen: Jian Yi, one of the very few top geniuses in the Divine Sword Universe.
Rumor had it he entered the Dao at seven, comprehended the sword at eight, and by twelve had successfully grasped Sword Intent.
He was a peerless prodigy born for the sword. For so many years, no one had ever been able to defeat Jian Yi in Sword Dao!
His attainments in Sword Dao were rarely seen in the world; throughout ages past, few could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
"I rarely draw my sword, because in all these years, very few have truly been worthy of it. You barely count as one. For this sword, I’ll only use seventy percent of my strength."
Standing high in the air, Jian Yi spoke in a calm voice, yet it clearly reached the ears of every person present.
As powerful as he was, even he could not help but take action now. And these words, without a doubt, proved his acknowledgment of Mo Wangchen.
Seventy percent of his strength—on the surface it might sound disrespectful to Mo Wangchen. But thinking deeper, Jian Yi’s cultivation was at Reverse Life Realm Fifth Layer, whereas Mo Wangchen was only at First Layer.
Faced with such an enormous gap, leaving aside whether Mo Wangchen could take Jian Yi’s full-power strike, even a sword at seventy percent strength might be something he couldn’t withstand unscathed.
"Wng..."
Finally, the moment Jian Yi’s voice fell, under everyone’s gaze, a boundless Sword Force churned the Void. It was a gigantic Divine Sword, formless and invisible; one could only sense its existence from its aura.
The giant sword cleaved down with an astonishing momentum. Even the Void let out a wail at this moment, trembling incessantly, as if it would collapse entirely at any time.
"Wng wng wng..."
And just as everyone was wondering how Mo Wangchen would receive this sword, suddenly, not far from him in another direction, a surge of Immortal Spirit Qi erupted.
As if Ancient Immortal Gods had revived, the Southern Immortal Xu Qingqiu was shrouded in a dazzling, eye-piercing immortal halo.
In that instant, it was as if all color drained from the world. Heaven and Earth turned incomparably dim and pitch-black, and in everyone’s eyes, only Xu Qingqiu remained.
"Swish!"
They saw his figure flicker, and in the blink of an eye he appeared in front of Mo Wangchen. Vast Immortal Spirit Power wrapped around him, like the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone at the dawn of chaos, giving off an impregnable feeling, as though nothing in the world could shake him.
"Boom!"
In the end, the gigantic Divine Sword hacked down, landing squarely on Xu Qingqiu’s body.
What no one expected was that the instant the Divine Sword touched Xu Qingqiu, it was as if it suffered an immense backlash. The entire sword began to crack apart, and ultimately vanished into nothingness.
"This..."
"Impossible!"
"He actually used the Power of Body alone to forcibly withstand a strike from Jian Yi!"
"I’m not dreaming, am I? There’s actually such a terrifying Physique in this world!"
"Southern Immortal Xu Qingqiu—his Immortal Spirit Body was once hailed as the strongest Divine Body in the Chaos Universe. It truly lives up to its name!"
All around, the crowd buzzed nonstop; no one could hold back their shock. Even though Jian Yi had only used seventy percent of his strength, that single sword strike was definitely not something an ordinary Reverse Life Realm Fourth Layer expert could withstand.
Yet Xu Qingqiu took it head-on with his body and came out completely unscathed. Such an outcome was something almost no one had anticipated.
"I once heard that after the Divine King Body stunned the world, the reputation of the Immortal Spirit Body as the number one Divine Body since ancient times fell onto Mo Wangchen’s head. If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean the Divine King Body Mo Wangchen possesses surpasses even the Southern Immortal’s?" someone couldn’t help but tremble inwardly as this thought surfaced.
