Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2496 Unwilling

The Cloud Wandering Sword displays its divine power!

However, this was not a situation that Qin Sang was happy to see.

The karma associated with the "Purple Star Sword Scripture" is too great, so Qin Sang has been trying her best to avoid using the Cloud Wandering Sword.

Even though this immortal abode is a relic of a sacred Daoist land, forming its own space and seemingly isolated from the outside world, the consequences of exposing its origins are something Qin Sang cannot accept.

Each time the Cloud Wanderer Sword is used, the risk of exposure increases. It is very dangerous to take chances, which is why Qin Sang hesitated just now.

……

At the same time, a great battle also broke out on the edge of the Immortal Abode.

Thunder exploded between Jin Geng, King Nan Yun, and King Du Sha, and countless lightning bolts poured out like a tide, attacking the three of them simultaneously.

In the eyes of Jin Geng and the other two, these lightning bolts were actually incredibly powerful lightning spears.

In an instant, the opponent thrust out countless spears, each lightning bolt seemingly a shadow of a lightning spear. But if anyone dared to treat them as afterimages, they would probably be riddled with holes on the spot!

At that moment, all three felt a slight stinging pain in their vital areas. The opponent was only one person, yet his attack was locked onto all three of them at the same time.

To fight three against one is commendable!

Facing the lightning spear that was within arm's reach, Jin Geng and the other two showed no intention of retreating. Their goal was to keep their opponents here, so wouldn't retreating at this moment be letting their opponents escape?

‘Wow! ’

Beneath the feet of the King of Dusha, a precious banner appeared out of thin air.

The flag was entirely black, including the flagpole. The black flag was devoid of any patterns, but one could see that the flag was constantly moving, as if a black storm was brewing within it, giving it an eerie feel.

'Crash...'

The flag fluttered in the wind, the precious banner stood tall in the sky, and black flames burned around it.

This spiritual fire is similar to the spiritual fire used by the King of Fiends when he surrounded Qin Sang, but there are subtle differences. Each flame appears exceptionally lively, as if it possesses life.

The precious flag was ignited by the divine fire, transforming into a gigantic fiery flag that reached the heavens and stood upright.

Immediately afterwards, countless black auras suddenly flew out from the flag. These auras were all intangible phantoms. When they came into contact with the spiritual fire outside, they were like ink stains, and they all took on bodies composed of spiritual fire.

At this point, their appearances became clear; each one was incredibly bizarre, unlike any normal creature. They emitted piercing shrieks, clearly demonic beings born only in places of yin and evil.

Countless evil spirits and demons were emerging from the banner, and they continued to pour out in droves.

They ignited black flames and charged forward one after another, using their own bodies to block the lightning spears.

Compared to Du Sha Wang, Nan Yun Wang on the other side was less powerful.

He held a long-necked jade bottle in his hand. The bottle was crystal clear, and its color was like the dreamlike deep sea. There were two blue shadows swimming freely in the deep sea.

The jade bottle tipped over, and a flood immediately poured out. The small jade bottle seemed to contain water from all the lakes and seas, and the two shadows rushed out along with the flood.

'Rumble...'

The water was surging, and the surrounding mountains were about to be submerged by the mighty flood, but this was only the appearance. Everyone present could see that this water was not water, but a spiritual fire that was extremely calm.

This spiritual fire is not as violent as other flames in the world. It is as gentle and peaceful as water, but it hides enormous power beneath its calm surface. Once it forms a 'flood,' it will display earth-shattering power!

The two blue figures resembled dragons, but were actually two extremely special fire spirits. For these two fire spirits, King Nanyun had searched far and wide, first capturing two naturally born fire spirits, and then using the power of the Crimson Scale Divine Pillar to refine them with supernatural abilities for many years.

Of course, they have now lost their individuality and been transformed into part of the supernatural powers of King Yun of the South.

The fire spirit roamed freely in the spiritual fire, constantly whipping its long tail and creating curtains of fire. The fire curtains surged towards its opponents, turning the wildly thrusting spear shadows blue. Before they could hit King Nanyun, they were ignited by the blue flames.

The previous attack was hasty, but this one was premeditated. Both Du Sha King and Nan Yun King have demonstrated extraordinary strength.

Jin Geng was not to be outdone; his golden eyes shone brightly, illuminating the world with a magnificent golden glow.

'Snapped! '

Suddenly, a drop of golden liquid fell from the sky, transforming into a golden giant upon landing. Compared to the previous adamantine giant, this giant's body flowed with a dark golden hue, making it appear even more imposing.

The black giant straightened his chest, leaving his defenses wide open to receive the lightning spear.

'boom! boom! boom! ’

The black giant instantly had more than a dozen holes in its body, pierced through by the spear shadows, and was not as hard as it looked.

In the blink of an eye, the black giant was covered in lightning spears, turning into a hedgehog. Suddenly, it roared to the sky and huddled together, locking all the lightning spears tightly inside its body.

Behind the black giant, a massive figure of equal size leaped up. It turned out that Jin Geng had also transformed into a giant of refined gold at some point. He jumped directly into the battlefield and slammed his fan-like hand down into the center of the lightning!

Although the Thunder Beast Guards were powerful, these three were also top-tier experts, each unleashing powerful divine abilities and treasures. Faced with such a fierce counterattack, the Thunder Beast Guards struggled to gain any advantage, and the surrounding lightning receded, forcing them to retreat and defend themselves.

"A clone or a puppet?"

Upon seeing that it was a Thunder Beast Warrior, the three of them had similar thoughts at the same time.

They immediately realized that this was definitely not the opponent's real body, but most likely a puppet or something similar.

Jin Geng and the other two were secretly alarmed. Yue Ling Shuang was not exaggerating; the truth was even more exaggerated than she had said. This person actually possessed such a powerful puppet!

Although it wasn't their opponent's true form, Jin Geng and his two companions didn't stop there; instead, they unleashed an even more ferocious offensive!

Destroying this puppet would weaken the opponent's strength, essentially crippling them. By slowly wearing them down, they could be driven to their doom. It all depends on how much strength the opponent possesses and how long they can play this game!

Yin Sha demons, blue fire spirits, and a giant golden hand like the sky blocked all the Thunder Beast Guards' escape routes.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, the Thunder Beast Guardian showed no fear in its eyes. The lightning power in its body surged into the lightning spear along its wrist, and the spear emitted a dazzling lightning light. The Thunder Beast Guardian then hurled it out.

In the center of the battlefield, a silver lightning bolt appeared, its thunderous power instantly becoming the focus of the battle, overshadowing everything else.

'boom! ’

A thunderclap exploded in the ears of Jin Geng and the other two.

In an instant, the Yin Sha demon, the blue fire spirit, and the golden giant hand all froze for a moment.

A shocking scene unfolded on the battlefield: the Thunder Spear multiplied into three, carrying boundless thunderous power. The first Thunder Spear sealed off the demon, the second Thunder Spear pointed directly at the Fire Spirit, and the third Thunder Spear, like a pillar of heaven, blocked the giant golden hand.

With this shot, the Thunder Beast Warrior was like a thunder god, holding nothing back, truly at his peak!

Unfortunately, none of its opponents were weak, and even its most powerful strike could not kill any of them.

The counterattack is imminent!

Countless Yin Sha demons rushed towards the lightning spear, opening their demonic mouths to devour the lightning. Countless demons were annihilated in the lightning, but then more demons took their place.

The fire spirits exploded into flames with a 'bang'. They were no longer living beings; their essence was simply a purer form of spiritual fire, capable of gathering and dispersing at will. Since they had no physical bodies, what did it matter if they were pierced by the lightning spear?

After the fire essence was incorporated, the blue flame became even gentler, and it was able to overcome the sharpness of the lightning spear with its gentleness.

Facing the Thunder Beast Warriors was Jin Geng.

Suddenly, the Thunder Spear was tightly grasped by another giant golden hand. Jin Geng roared and used all his strength, trying to twist the Thunder Spear in half!

The fight between the Thunder Beast Guardian and the three appeared to be wide-open and sweeping, but in reality, the powerful collision contained endless variations. If the Thunder Beast Guardian showed even the slightest weakness, he could be utterly defeated.

While fierce fighting raged on one side, on the other side of the battlefield, the spiritual mist dissipated, golden mountains collapsed, and stars hung low over the fields.

The unexpected turn of events left the three of them momentarily stunned. How could this be different from what they had rehearsed? Why did the Eastern Dragon King and his companions allow their opponents to easily unleash their sword formation?

The three of them were in a dilemma. This was the best opportunity to destroy the puppet, but turning back now might mean all their efforts were in vain.

The enemy can't possibly have a second one of these puppets. Even if the Eastern Flood Dragon King and his forces can't defeat them, holding them off for a while shouldn't be too difficult, right? It's not too late to cripple this puppet before returning to reinforce...

King Nanyun and King Dusha held onto a sliver of hope, but Jin Geng alone suddenly felt a sense of unease.

The source of his unease did not come from himself.

Jin Geng had a feeling that they had miscalculated something, and the unease was so intense.

Third sister might be in danger!

The large hand gripping the thunder spear suddenly loosened its hold, and Jin Geng tried to retreat, shouting, "Stop it!"

Seeing that Jin Geng was going to withdraw and return to provide assistance at this time, King Nan Yun and King Du Sha were helpless. They had only formed a temporary alliance and could not order Jin Geng to do anything.

The two unleashed their full power, launching a fierce attack on the Thunder Beast Guard.

Just then, two beams of light shot out from the Thunder Beast Guardian's chest.

'Ding-dong!'

The crisp sound could be clearly heard even on the deafening battlefield, and the Heaven-Binding Golden Lock and the Earth-Imprisoning Divine Ring, which had been hidden inside the Thunder Beast War Guardian, finally revealed themselves.

"Void Realm!"

King Nanyun and King Dusha shouted in unison.

Knowing from Yue Lingshuang that Qin Sang possessed the Void Domain Divine Power, they were most wary of these two spiritual treasures, but they never expected them to be placed on a puppet.

Fortunately, they did not let their guard down. Du Sha Wang flashed into the fire banner, and then split off hundreds of streams of fire that flowed towards the earth. Some streams of fire were swallowed up by the spreading golden light, stopping their flow as if time had stood still, but others managed to break through.

King Nanyun quickly formed a hand seal, and the spiritual fire in front of him wriggled and transformed into a huge blue palace, crystal clear, like an ice palace.

A jade plaque hung above the gate of the Ice Palace, inscribed with runes of exceptionally intricate strokes. The runes shimmered, and the Ice Palace emitted a blue halo. Under the protection of the Ice Palace, King Nanyun fought his way back.

The six of them had already discussed and devised a plan to deal with the situation. As long as they could take precautions in advance, they would not be helpless in the face of the Void Domain. Each of them used their own methods to deal with the situation with ease.

However, this greatly reduced the pressure on the Thunder Beast Guard, allowing him to break free from the two and charge straight towards Jin Geng.

Jin Geng, intending to disengage from the battle, ignored the Thunder Beast Guard and took a step forward. Using some unknown escape technique, his figure suddenly became extremely faint. Just then, a strange light flashed in the Thunder Beast Guard's eyes, and deep within its eyeball, a lightning seal slowly rotated.

It was the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Seal that Qin Sang had sealed in its body beforehand!

Jin Geng tried to leave, but the Thunder Beast Guards wouldn't let him. Or rather, Qin Sang, who was remotely controlling the battle through the Thunder Beast Guards, wanted to stop Jin Geng to prevent him from interfering with her!

'Rumble...'

Thunder Seal Unleashed!

Dark clouds suddenly filled the sky above the battlefield, and silver snakes danced wildly.

Countless bolts of lightning transformed into thunder pythons, seemingly summoned by some force, rushing into the sky from all directions.

Where the thunderbolts converged, heavenly lightning manifested, faintly revealing the outline of a thunder seal, mysterious and wondrous.

‘Crack! ’

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

The lightning was dazzlingly bright, as if it had gathered all the lightning power of this world, bringing an unparalleled aura of destruction, and fiercely struck the soon-to-disappear Jin Geng.

Jin Geng's figure trembled violently, his body instantly returning to solidity, his face filled with shock and anger.

If he insists on fleeing, he will surely be seriously injured!

However, the moment Jin Geng stopped, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had made an extremely wrong decision.

Jin Geng opened his mouth wide and let out a silent roar. A golden light suddenly appeared between his brows, transforming into a golden seal to meet the heavenly thunder.

……

Jin Geng's premonition was correct. The moment he was stopped by the Thunder Beast Guard, Gui Geng died by the sword!

When masters clash, the situation changes in an instant.

From the moment Gui Geng fell into the sword formation to her death, it was only a blink of an eye. Jin Geng's obstruction sealed her fate.

'call! '

The Five Elements Divine Light swept across, scattering the fragments left behind by Gui Geng after his death, and then carried Xiao Wu towards another star field.

'Shuh! '

Qin Sang opened her eyes, lifted the immortal mountain, and leaped down from the sword star.

His gaze pierced through the stars and landed on the Eastern Dragon King.

Zhu Qian's separation of the three kings gave Qin Sang the opportunity to defeat them one by one, which was their biggest mistake in this battle!

Qin Sang was most wary of the three of them. When cultivators joined forces, they could support each other, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and often unleash greater power than when fighting alone. Especially the three kings of Zhu Qian, who shared the same lineage and had cooperated many times. The supernatural abilities they had repeatedly displayed before were not ordinary, which proved this point.

If these six people are very close, no matter how strong Qin Sang is, they will have little chance to take advantage of them.

Although they each have their own ulterior motives, as long as Qin Sang fails to kill them in one fell swoop, once they experience Qin Sang's true strength, they will surely put aside their prejudices and cooperate with each other, making Qin Sang's situation very difficult. Therefore, Qin Sang must kill them as quickly as possible!

At this moment, the Eastern Dragon King was unaware of Gui Geng's demise. His first reaction upon entering the sword formation was to protect himself.

Seven crimson spirit pillars surrounded him, their firelight illuminating the surrounding star field. The Eastern Flood Dragon King suddenly turned around and saw Xiao Wu approaching on a beam of light.

‘Wow! ’

Upon sensing the power of the Five Elements Divine Light, the Eastern Flood Dragon King was greatly alarmed.

'Whoosh! Whoosh!'

Seven crimson-scaled spirit pillars shot up, blocking the Five Elements Divine Light, but were immediately engulfed by it.

The treasure that the Eastern Flood Dragon King was so proud of trembled violently within the Five Elements Divine Light, its spiritual light dimmed, and its power greatly diminished. The Five Elements Divine Light also possessed the power to suppress killing, and it was effective not only against cultivators, but also because the Five Elements Crown had already entered the category of acquired spiritual treasures!

At the same time, the Eastern Flood Dragon King suddenly felt darkness before his eyes. He looked up abruptly and saw a celestial mountain, larger than a star field, crashing down upon him! (End of Chapter)
