Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 423: Battle
Bang.
The golden claw and the lightning Sword Qi collided fiercely in mid-air.
In an instant, light burst forth, dazzling golden light and purple-black lightning intertwined, illuminating the entire sky.
The two were in a stalemate in the air for a while, and the nine Laws contained in the lightning Sword Qi gradually erupted, tearing apart the golden claw.
Immediately after, with a loud bang, both the golden claw and the lightning Sword Qi exploded in the air, and a terrifying shockwave swept in all directions.
The houses below collapsed under the impact of the shockwave, and bricks, tiles, and rubble flew everywhere.
The residents in the capital city, sensing the earth-shattering commotion, were scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
They fled towards the outside of the capital city, fearing that they would be caught in the battle between these powerhouses and lose their lives.
"What magnificent Immortal Power."
Yuan Wu was completely shocked as he felt the residual Immortal Power fluctuations in the air.
The Immortal Power contained in the lightning Sword Qi that the Demon Beast had just unleashed was not inferior to his own, a Peak Immortal King, and even had a faint tendency to surpass it.
How was this possible?
An Early Stage Immortal King Cultivator, whose Immortal Power was even stronger than his, a Peak Immortal King.
Yuan Wu pondered for a moment and quickly understood the key.
This could only mean one thing: this Demonic Monk must have Cultivated multiple Laws.
And the number was definitely not small, at least five or more, otherwise it would be impossible to possess such magnificent Immortal Power and be able to contend with him across realms.
At this moment, Fang Hong showed a faint smile on his face.
During the brief confrontation with Yuan Wu just now, he had already roughly figured out Yuan Wu’s strength.
Although Yuan Wu’s realm had reached Peak Immortal King, he had only Cultivated the Law of Light, making his Dao methods relatively singular.
Fang Hong himself had Cultivated nine Laws, and although his realm was slightly lower, his Immortal Power level was already not weaker than the opponent’s. This battle was definitely worth fighting. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The atmosphere in the air became increasingly heavy, and Yuan Wu and the five State Protector Elders formed a encirclement, trapping Fang Hong in the middle.
"King Yuan Wu, since you insist on standing up for the Cui Family, then I will eliminate you along with them today."
Fang Hong’s eyes were as cold as frost, and he had already made up his mind to create a big disturbance here, feeding all these people to the Demon Gourd and refining them into Immortal Pills.
"Extremely arrogant. Elders, listen to my command, come with me to slay this Demonic Monk."
Yuan Wu was trembling with anger, his fury rising.
If this formidable threat was not eliminated today, this Demonic Monk would surely become the nightmare of the entire kingdom in the future, and it would be difficult to deal with him then.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Wu unleashed his full power without reservation.
With a thought, a golden armor shimmering with iridescent light instantly appeared on his body, making him look majestic and awe-inspiring.
Immediately after, he took out a cold, gleaming golden longsword and held it in his hand, with two dao patterns flowing on the sword body.
Counting the golden imperial seal, Yuan Wu had already summoned three Dao Artifacts at this moment.
Among them, the golden imperial seal and the golden armor on his body both belonged to first-grade Dao Artifacts.
And the golden longsword in his hand, with two dao patterns, was clearly a second-grade Immortal Artifact.
Seeing this situation, Cui He and his son immediately exchanged glances with the other four State Protector Elders, without the slightest hesitation.
The six of them simultaneously activated their Immortal Power and jointly set up a powerful grand formation, instantly trapping Fang Hong firmly within it.
As soon as the grand formation was activated, strong winds immediately arose within it, condensing into countless extremely sharp wind blades.
Like dense weapons, they swept towards Fang Hong with a piercing whoosh, vowing to dismember him.
"It’s just a petty trick."
Even when besieged by six Immortal Kings simultaneously, Fang Hong, at the core of the grand formation, remained calm, without the slightest panic.
With a thought, seventy-two nirvana divine thunder swords instantly shot out from his body, rapidly circling around him, forming a powerful sword shield.
"Great Dao of Blazing Fire, Great Dao of Profound Gold, Great Dao of Thunder."
Fang Hong slowly raised his hand, and different attributes of Dao power condensed on his fingertips, gently tapping.
These Dao powers, like streams flowing into a river, were all attached to the seventy-two nirvana divine thunder swords.
Zzzzz.
The seventy-two nirvana divine thunder swords, empowered by the Dao power, instantly erupted with world-destroying might, fiercely crashing into the strong winds of the grand formation.
The two terrifying forces collided fiercely in the air, with electric sparks flying everywhere and deafening roars.
Bang.
After a tremendous explosion, the strong wind grand formation jointly set up by the six Immortal Kings was surprisingly vulnerable, instantly shattered and broken.
Cui He and his son and the four State Protector Elders were even sent flying by the violent Sword Qi on the spot, falling heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, clearly having suffered serious injuries.
"State Suppressing Seal. Suppress him for me."
Seeing the grand formation broken, Yuan Wu was even more enraged, fully activating the golden imperial seal above his head.
The golden light on the imperial seal became even more dazzling and radiant, constantly expanding and enlarging, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a majestic small mountain, fiercely pressing down on Fang Hong below.
Boom.
Fang Hong only felt a heavy pressure instantly enveloping his entire body, and his body rapidly fell from high in the sky.
Accompanied by a loud bang, Fang Hong stepped heavily on the ground, which instantly cracked open, with fissures spreading everywhere, and a large area directly turned into ruins.
"Demonic Monk. Today is your death day. Die."
Seeing Fang Hong successfully suppressed by the State Suppressing Seal, Yuan Wu’s face instantly showed a look of ecstasy, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly swung the second-grade Dao Artifact longsword in his hand, carrying sharp Sword Qi, and fiercely slashed towards Fang Hong, who was trapped in the ruins.
"Just in time."
Fang Hong was not surprised but delighted, and the fire cloud gourd shot out from his body, growing larger against the wind in the air.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Two dazzling red lights suddenly shot out from the mouth of the fire cloud gourd.
One accurately landed on the State Suppressing Seal that was suppressing Fang Hong, while the other directly shone towards Yuan Wu, who was rushing over.
Yuan Wu was caught off guard; the State Suppressing Seal and the golden armor on his body unexpectedly transformed into two golden lights uncontrollably, and were forcibly sucked into that bizarre red gourd.
"Wh-what?" Yuan Wu’s face suddenly changed, his eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.
His two first-grade Dao Artifacts were actually easily taken away by the opponent just like that.
What kind of strange Dao Artifact was this?
After absorbing the two Dao Artifacts, the fire cloud gourd’s light gradually receded, constantly shrinking, eventually becoming palm-sized, and steadily falling back into Fang Hong’s hand.
"Thank you, King Yuan Wu, for your generous gift. I will not be modest and accept these two Dao Artifacts."
Fang Hong played with the fire cloud gourd in his hand, smiling faintly at Yuan Wu.
This smile, in Yuan Wu’s eyes, was like the most vicious mockery, making him tremble with anger, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It was a pity that the second-grade Dao Artifact longsword in Yuan Wu’s hand had a relatively higher grade.
The fire cloud gourd was only a first-grade Dao Artifact, and its current ability could not collect it, otherwise it would not have been spared either.
