My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 142 - 9: Lightning Strikes an Earth Immortal, a Life-and-Death Crisis

Lu Xuan dared not linger. Relying on his three apertures of Form, Sound, and Smell, he identified the directions several Earth Immortals were approaching from and immediately fled at top speed toward the only clear area!

Along the way, he frequently encountered Celestial Humans, but he basically blasted them apart mid-air in a single pass!

But as he fled, the Earth Immortals drew closer, leaving him with fewer and fewer places to run. In the end, he inevitably encountered a high-ranking Celestial Human. Though wary, the man met him head-on without hesitation, his attacks domineering!

A Great Slaughter Technique shot across the sky as a Primordial Qi Palm Seal descended. Lu Xuan’s expression changed, but he didn’t slow down, knowing he couldn’t afford any delay. He roared:

"Get out of my way!!"

He neither dodged nor retreated, instead charging straight at the Primordial Qi Palm Seal and violently shattering it. But he did not fare well either; his body cracked like fragile porcelain, and blood began to stream from the wounds!

The high-ranking Celestial Human was stunned, but his expression immediately twisted into one of ecstatic joy. His voice boomed like thunder:

"So weak? Strange..."

As he spoke, he attacked again, trying to knock the young man from the sky. He stirred the surging, boundless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, causing the very color of the sky to change within a ten-li radius!

Lu Xuan, however, did not stop. His voice rang out, vast and mighty:

"Thunder, go!"

He activated Mediation of Creation. The Bodhi Fruit Skin stored in his stomach was furiously digested, condensing into a massive amount of Divine Essence that nourished his body and Divine Soul.

From this, a wisp of Innate Thunder Light emerged, suddenly expanding and transforming into a Great Thunder that struck down from above!

The high-ranking Celestial Human’s expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge and barely scrambled aside, but was still grazed by the thunder light. Amidst a blood-curdling scream, half of his body was annihilated in an instant!

He wasn’t dead; he was still alive, but he was so severely wounded that he was powerless to continue his attack.

Lu Xuan continued to flee at top speed, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He was already prepared to summon the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword, or even the Heaven-Reaching Fishing Drum. Although his Three Masters had instructed that the Fishing Drum was only to be used after his Ascension to Immortality, he couldn’t afford to care about that now.

Soon, an Earth Immortal arrived. A brilliant celestial light descended upon him, accompanied by a furious roar:

"Stop! You cannot escape!"

"Stop my ass!" Lu Xuan roared in response. He changed direction, fleeing another way as he summoned the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword. Mustering all his strength, he channeled a wisp of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi and his Mediation of Creation, unleashing a Heaven-Sundering Sword Qi infused with Innate Thunder Light!

The Earth Immortal’s expression changed. His Spiritual Sense blared a warning, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Not daring to block it directly, he dodged to the side. The Sword Qi struck a mountain thousands of meters high. The entire peak first split in two, then collapsed into dust.

The residual Sword Qi traveled another ten thousand meters, carving a terrifyingly deep ravine into the earth before finally dissipating!

The Earth Immortal was still reeling, but he quickly gave chase. Just then, another Earth Immortal arrived, cutting Lu Xuan off from the other side. He unleashed a Divine Technique, gathering the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from a hundred-li radius to form a massive barrier!

Yet Lu Xuan did not pause. Swinging his sword again, he consumed more of his nearly depleted Bodhi Fruit Skin. The Sword Qi, accompanied by Innate Thunder Light, easily shattered the primordial qi barrier, and that Earth Immortal was also forced to dodge aside. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Although he was currently only a Celestial Human of the First Celestial Realm, when all his techniques were combined, he could easily slay any Ascender of the Climbing the Divine Ladder below the Sixth Celestial Realm.

Coupled with the power of his Innate Thunder Light, even Earth Immortals didn’t dare to face it directly. This bought him some time, allowing him to continue his escape.

"Be careful! Just don’t let that thunder light touch you!" one of the Earth Immortals roared, having seen through the situation. "His other attacks are useless against us! We only need to be wary of that thunder light!"

Another Earth Immortal nodded, a brilliant light erupting from his body, and shouted as well:

"The Great Director has been notified; he’s on his way back! The boy’s Cultivation is weak, but that thunder light is terrifying. Don’t confront him directly—just force him back!"

As he spoke, two more Earth Immortals arrived. One of them, not knowing the specifics of the situation, tried to block half a wisp of Innate Thunder Light head-on. Before the horrified eyes of the others, more than half of his body was obliterated, leaving him on the brink of death.

And that was only because Lu Xuan had been conservative, creating just half a wisp. Otherwise, that Earth Immortal’s soul would have likely been scattered to the winds.

Seeing this, the other Earth Immortals no longer dared to pursue him too closely. Fearing that the young man could unleash even more of that terrifying thunder light, they focused only on blocking his paths, forcing Lu Xuan back the way he came!

And Lu Xuan truly had no other choice. He knew his own situation: the Bodhi Fruit Skin in his stomach was only enough for one final use of Mediation of Creation. He couldn’t use it recklessly again. His only option was to flee through the gap the Earth Immortals were intentionally leaving open for him.

The direction they were herding him toward was the Kongtong Mountain Range.

’What should I do now?’

Lu Xuan’s mind raced. Within his Divine Sense, he could feel that majestic aura, as vast as the Celestial Vault itself, already rushing back. It would reach the Kongtong Mountain Range in a quarter of an hour at most!

’This is real trouble...’

Even as he thought this, he didn’t dare to stop. Several Earth Immortals were still in pursuit, so he had no choice but to continue flying toward the Kongtong Mountain Range. At the same time, his consciousness sank into his Spiritual World, attempting to connect with the Heaven-Reaching Fishing Drum.

He didn’t know what function the Fishing Drum from his Three Masters served, but Lu Xuan had inspected it before. The Dao Rhyme it contained was terrifyingly powerful, far surpassing even his Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword...

And so, deliberately corralled by four or five Earth Immortals, Lu Xuan drew closer and closer to the Kongtong Mountain Range. Meanwhile, the True Immortal was also drawing nearer...

The terrifying pressure of the True Immortal’s aura arrived ahead of him, rolling in like a vast tidal wave, crushing Lu Xuan until he could barely breathe!

As he flew, he could see Gouxian Town, the very place he had been fleeing, coming back into view. He could even see the town entrance, where the black dog and the Big Black Bull were both looking up at the sky.

Lu Xuan’s expression was grave, but he did not panic. His mind spun, turning over countless possibilities as he searched for a way out.

’Old Yan really screwed me over this time!’
