Chapter 845 - 482: Supreme Venerables Bleed
The Supreme battle commenced, with two self-slashed Supreme Venerables yet to ascend, their unleashed boundless power enough to crush the eternal past, causing the entire Star River Cosmos to tremble, and the stars and Great Sun to dim.
Even before the clash began, their power alarmed the entire Grand Cosmos, causing the spirits of cultivators throughout the heavens to quake, and countless Saints among various races were greatly terrified, fleeing madly, fearing the collateral impact.
This was a peak duel belonging to the Heaven-Covering Grand Cosmos.
Array Sects shimmered with brilliance, opening the teleportation gates, reviving countless defense arrays. Flying boats and starships cruised across, as countless capable races fled.
They feared becoming the blood meal of the Supreme Venerables if they delayed even a little.
Those humans unable to escape prostrated on the ground, some Saints unable to leave wept aloud, praying to the Supreme Divine Emperor, Ancient Celestial Venerable, Bright Ancient Emperor, and the Taiyin and Taiyang two Human Race Holy Emperors.
Supreme names from those who once crusaded against restricted areas and quelled dark turmoil were recalled. Those with no escape hoped for miracles to occur, devoutly praying, pleading for the return of the Enlightened to prevent the dark chaos.
As for Lu Ren, the newly elevated Supreme who seemingly became a Quasi-Emperor through tribulation transformation, how could he possibly contend against the siege of two Supreme Venerables, let alone the dozen or so awakened Supremes within the restricted area watching intently, waiting to strike should Lu Ren show any sign of weakness.
The loud and tearful prayers were not in vain; the devout calls formed a multitude of faith power, multiplying various cosmic phenomena, uplifting spirits, and resisting the oppressive aura of the Supreme Venerables, prompting Great Saints across star regions and secluded Elder Quasi-Emperors to bring forth secret weapons, and beginning to restore their fading combat strength due to declining Qi and Blood.
Sparing no cost, they commenced a full force reverberation of their divine treasures within, aiming to deliver a peak strike at the cost of their lives against the Supreme Venerables.
Though they knew in their hearts, these acts were akin to moths futilely consumed by the flames, mere ants ineffectually impacting the Supreme Venerables.
Lu Ren maintained a tranquil demeanor, his eyes surged with battle intent, eager to see how the peak powers of Heaven-Covering Grand Cosmos fared, aside from the Mortal Immortals.
He delivered a punch, true power flowed through him, his internal divine treasure acupoints resounded and radiated, the Venerable God seated within slowly began to recover.
The world seemed to fall mute, all colors faded, the stars trembled, the Star River shuddered.
It seemed as if the entire universe's attention centered on Lu Ren's seemingly straightforward punch.
"What is this magic?"
The White Tiger Venerable's eyes narrowed, a low roar escaped from his throat, his wings flapped, and faintly, chaotic mist entwined his wings, capable of tearing everything apart.
The Holy Spirit Venerable formed by Immortal Tear Green Gold uttered a low shout, its body blazed with a dreadful green brilliance, and faintly, there was boundless evil qi, containing countless vengeful souls, bloodthirsty qi nearly permeated the entire universe. It was as if a Blood Killing Immortal King descended, surrounded by immortal light, wielding an immortal seal, launching an assault toward Lu Ren.
The three of them instantly expanded into combat, with the White Tiger easily shattering stars and tearing the Star River with its claws, yet Lu Ren's unadorned fists wielded unimaginable divine power.
Upon impact, the Supreme aura enveloping the White Tiger Venerable paused, the tiger claw fractured, the immortal light shattered, and his Qi and Blood froze.
Devastating!
This punch nearly obliterated all illusory phenomena surrounding the White Tiger Venerable, brutally leaving its substantial imprint upon the White Tiger Venerable's large face, blasting it directly into a near-death state.
Witnessing the power of Lu Ren's punch, the hairs on the Immortal Tear Green Gold stood on end, its expression filled with terror, never expecting this newly ascended human to crush the White Tiger Venerable with a single punch.
"Wait..."
As the Immortal Tear Green Gold retreated frantically, attempting to say something, Lu Ren could hardly contain himself, surging forward with force. He spread his arms, executing the Phoenix Falcon Fist he learned early on, with the intent of a divine bird striving against the nine heavens, breaking through all shackles, shattering all binds, suppressing the eternal past.
Initially, Phoenix Falcon Fist was merely a mortal level fist technique, yet under Lu Ren's unceasing evolution, it had transformed beyond its origin, retaining only its name, with its system and practice method greatly altered.
In an instant, as Lu Ren's arms sharply moved, his fists reached extreme speed, instantly achieving a peak state, with the rapidity of the Phoenix Falcon intention having intensified profoundly, reaching peak climbing, his fists seeming to touch the time river of the Heaven-Covering Grand Cosmos, where even the Immortal Tear Green Gold Saint Spirit Venerable could barely catch a glimpse of the light reaching its limit, desperately attempting to evade.
"Kunpeng Treasure Technique?!"
There had always been Supremes from the Taichu Ancient Mine observing, and at this scene, they couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"No, this isn't Kunpeng Treasure Technique, merely a similar method, resembling a phoenix bird, that, in an instant, launched billions of strikes, making it unlikely that Saint Spirit can escape peril."
Kunpeng, True Dragon, Phoenix Bird, and even Qilin, are Immortal Realm's Immortal Spirits, beings within whom Immortal Qi nurtures and eternality spans millennia. Even if slumbering True Phoenix in Taichu Ancient Mine possesses strength surpassing these Kunpeng and True Dragons, it doesn't truly count as an Immortal Spirit, as it lacks Immortal Qi at its essence, failing to attain true transcendence.
Such newly enlightened beings with such terrifying combat power, comparable to ancient Celestial Venerables, undeniably shocked the silently observing Supremes within restricted areas.
Where did this maverick emerge from, achieving Formation Tribulation Path upon arrival, what seemed a sure thing, with two Celestial Venerables once invincible and arrogantly presiding over restricted areas, being slain with merely a few strokes.
This scene left the Supremes within the restricted area dumbfounded; some whose Qi and Blood waned and hoped to harvest replenishment from this dark chaos for longevity, had to suppress their inner restlessness.
Inwardly they sighed; this Enlightened arrived truly at the most inopportune moment, suddenly emerging and effortlessly surpassing the Formation Tribulation Path to become Supreme.
Lu Ren's gaze was profound; after demolishing the two Supreme Venerables, he had a clear understanding of his own combat power within the Heaven-Covering Cosmos. As long as these Supreme Venerables didn't ascend to restore their peak states, then with his current power, it was just as easy as cutting vegetables.
Even if risking their lives for ultimate ascension, returning to the Saint Emperor of Enlightenment peak, it was conservatively estimated that handling three or four would be no problem.
Should he unleash the Circulation Body God Fist, perhaps the situation might experience new changes.
The already diffused Superdimensional Perception had explored the restricted areas.
His gaze swept across, observing four directions, staring long at the restricted areas.
Divine Ruins, Taichu Ancient Mine, Celestial Break Mountain Range, Sea of Reincarnation, Immortal Mausoleum...
All four restricted areas lay silent, their previous imposing tone vanished without a trace, with no further movements.
