Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 857 - 186: Battling the Banished Immortal Once More
This realm is not simple, and neither are these heterodox practitioners.
In Mei Gemu's heart, such a concept flashed by, even with descriptors like "good fruit." He didn't understand how special this description was before. But now, he knows.
Unity of Magic and Self! It's actually Unity of Magic and Self!
In the Golden Core Stage, to have achieved Unity of Magic and Self!
Unity of Magic and Self is the foundation for advancing to the Immortal Dao. That is to say, this kid, if not for practicing the heterodox ways, might have become an Immortal!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Qi, wielding the Moonset Glaze Sword, had fiercely exchanged two or three moves with Mei Gemu.
Mei Gemu was in a special condition. His meridians were without a trace of strength, relying solely on the demon blood flowing directly through his veins to face the enemy. Essence Demon Energy circulated and wrapped around his fists. The amount of this Essence Demon Energy was on par with the Demon Clan in the Core Formation Stage, far inferior to Wang Qi, not to mention the Transformation Stage Moonset Glaze.
However, his moves were exceptionally exquisite. In those few moves, he improbably forged a path to survival and forced the Moonset Glaze Sword away!
"Space-time..." The Moonset Glaze quickly detected the opponent's mystery, gritting its teeth: "This is not simple... not an ordinary Undying Beast, at least it has the ability to 'Leap Out of the River'!"
"So, mastering relative time to avoid the strongest parts of my moves, while simultaneously spotting my flaws in his personal space-time, huh?" Wang Qi sneered: "If that's all, it's not enough to entertain me—'Heaven Creation'!"
The upper half of a human and the lower half of a horse, the white Ghost Soldier "Heaven Creation" appeared behind Wang Qi. Simultaneously, Wang Qi's mana began to change, countless Divine Power Talismans disassembled into the Wanxiang Diagram, and then reconstructed as mana flowed. The Divine Skill of the Gravity Domain regenerated. He quickly connected his strength with Heaven Creation.
Now, for him, this Ghost Soldier "Heaven Creation" was just a useful Magic Artifact, an augmented system for the "Cave Heaven Ruler", rather than a ghost soldier dedicated to unleashing the Cave Heaven Ruler!
The Twin Paradox reappeared, and time expanded under the influence of gravity. Wang Qi detached from this planet's reference frame, entering his "personal time".
The enemy's actions froze for a moment in his eyes, then the unknown Banished Immortal jumped away at a speed completely out of sync with the surroundings.
"What a ghostly sight, it's indeed his personal time, I must enter his reference frame, or use unchanging light speed to hit him!" Wang Qi clicked his tongue, finding it troublesome. Just then, Moonset Glaze exclaimed: "Leap Out of the River! How did you do it?"
"Many people in the Immortal Alliance can do it, don't be surprised in the future!" Wang Qi raised his sword, treating it entirely like a sniper rifle.
Have you not seen, Lieque has existed through eternity.
Electric light transforms, Electric Light Transformation.
The extreme move of Heavenly Song was turned into intense light. Light speed Electromagnetic Break became Light Speed Sword Qi, sweeping out with one slash.
..............................................................................................................
Miscalculation...
At the moment the opponent leapt out of the River of Time, the Combat instinct etched deep in Mei Gemu's soul told him this was trouble.
Never expected that the unassuming Golden Core across him could also Leap Out of the River. And seeing his skillful manner, he's certainly done it more than once.
Mei Gemu's mana was even lower than Wang Qi's, not to mention Moonset Glaze. Even if he's more practiced at Leaping Out of the River than Wang Qi, his shallow mana couldn't outlast Wang Qi's.
—What a ghost...A Golden Core Cultivator achieving Unity of Magic and Self is one thing, but also Leaping Out of the River! He's just a Golden Core! Not some awakened Banished Immortal...Why!
"Not a Banished Immortal..."
When this thought flashed across Mei Gemu's mind, a surge of hatred arose.
That Core Formation Cultivator, I fought him... When was it? Why? He's just a Core Formation Cultivator, what virtue and ability does he have to fight me?
Too much information made Mei Gemu feel slightly scrambled. But quickly, he let go of these chaotic thoughts.
Even though in my personal time, I don't know when his attack will come, but...
Before evolving Immortal Sense, the power of attacks crossing rivers is ultimately limited! There is time!
Even if after this battle, the aura on my body can no longer be concealed...that doesn't matter. No need to go overseas, directly through the ancient teleportation array here, to that unknown safety of the Grotto Heaven!
He crossed his arms to protect his head and face, guarding against the sword strike that might come at any moment, then focused his spirit, using his battle will to spur on the demon blood, with his heart to boil the essence.
Demon Blood Valley Spur...ten percent!
Mei Gemu's golden beast eyes scattered. A silver light emerged from his body. That was the power representing the spirit.
As the beast blood in him boiled, an even more arrogant combat spirit surged from within him.
Just then, the electric light arrived.
An inexplicable power pierced through his Gang Qi, stimulating each of his cells, even harming his blood. That part of Mei Gemu's mortal being inside him died a little more.
But at the same time, the demon blood boiled!
The demon blood boiled by twenty percent!
At this moment, Mei Gemu's face, which was originally rather handsome, turned ferociously beast-like.
"Go... die!"
Mei Gemu roared like a tiger, not dismissing the state beyond the River, but instead pouncing towards Wang Qi. In his personal time, his speed was increased to the maximum. In just a few steps, six or seven blood sprays exploded from his body, and behind him, there were eleven or twelve explosions. Those were wounds caused by Light Speed Sword Qi, which were imperceptible to the naked eye. However, this remained within an acceptable range, only superficial injuries, without harming muscles or bones.
He had already arrived near Wang Qi's figure. At this moment, he withdrew his Divine Skills. The gravity field of this planet brought him back to this original space-time.
In the absence of Immortal Sense... without further Immortal Laws..., the two in combat jumping out of the River, compared to a single individual jumping out of the River, made no difference. They both possessed Immortal traits, but their feeble mana was insufficient to wield Immoral's light-speed attack methods.
Since this is the case, he might as well stand within the "River", saving his portion of mana!
Mei Gemu knew that if this guy harbored any swift resolve to finish him off, he would definitely collect his Divine Skills, returning to the River.
And if this guy was not thinking of quick resolution, but merely of dragging time, then this proved he actually did not possess the ability to threaten him. In this case, he need not entangle with him, but instead, go directly through the potentially existing ancient teleportation array, entering the Secret Realm!
Just as Mei Gemu returned to the Shenzhou Heaven and Earth, a sword shadow attacked Mei Gemu's chest at an unbelievable speed.
The sword strike couldn't be light-speed, meaning that the moment this strike took effect was precisely when that heterodox cultivator returned to the River!
.................................................................................
The soaring purple light, the resounding dragon roar startled many villagers to rush out of their homes, standing at the village head to watch.
Su Dacheng saw that direction and exclaimed, "There... that direction... very close to Fourth Lian's few mu of rice fields... that Immortal Master Grandee! What is he doing over there?"
They were only mortals, unable to sense the risk-ridden spiritual energy surging, but that True Intent of destruction imbued with killing intent was indeed imprinted on their hearts.
Su Dacheng couldn't help but recount what he had seen during the day. The experienced village chief decisively stated, "It must be that Immortal Master Grandee is slaying demons and purging devils! We mortals should not approach. It's a minor matter if collateral damage occurs; but delayed the Immortal Master in purging devils, it would be a grievous offense!"
Su Dacheng nodded repeatedly. He glanced around but did not see the Lian family. Shocked, he thought, "Could it be they worried about their land, so they ran over to watch? How could they act so rashly?"
The simple man had some worry left. He quickly ran towards Fourth Lian's house, wanting to see if that family was at home.
Yet, upon approaching the Lian family's house, he fell into terrifying hallucinations. The sky collapsed, the earth sank, deaths were everywhere. An infinite disaster pressed upon him instantaneously.
He hadn't activated Spiritual Sense, so his brain did not know how to process these extraordinary messages, rendering them as hallucinations.
The simple man fell to the ground, scared to death.
In an instant, an aura many times stronger than combat power gushed out from that unremarkable dirt house. All residents of Su Town saw only darkness before them and then collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, Lian Yichen's frustrated voice sounded: "Damn it... It's not even targeting me!"
Lian Yichen always seemed gentle and elegant, yet this time he couldn't restrain himself, cursing in the harshest terms.
That god-like killing youth, turned out he came to target someone else! He wasn't even the target!
Earlier, he feared that killing god might slay him with a single sword, so he operated the Heavenly Earth Skill opposite the Earth Script Technique, sparking a thread of life, completely detonating the power. This time, he was thoroughly exposed!
Had it been deferred just a few seconds... no, had that youth not come to this town to kill...
Why? Why here? Why is he, Lian Yichen, so unfortunate?
Lian Yichen would never know that the reason Mei Gemu and Wang Qi came here was purely that it was the only way to reach Xiaodong. And the reason Mei Gemu had to head to Xiaodong was that he exterminated the secret pegs Mei Gemu originally intended to find.
"Since I can't hide, let's run..." Lian Yichen gritted his teeth and said, "You go directly to that ancient teleportation array! Bring the spirit stones! That killing god is actually in combat with the other, it seems the difference in strength between the two isn't vast... I'll go see first, see if I can intervene!"
"Yes, father/master!" Lian Xingling and Lian Xinjie responded.
"Wait the time it takes for a cup of tea. If I'm still not there, activate the array. After activating the array, wait a quarter-hour more. If I still haven't come over, then immediately pass through the teleportation array, enter that Secret Realm of Cave Heaven, afterwards, destroy the teleporter immediately, understand?"
After leaving these words, Lian Yichen didn't wait for a reply from his apprentice and daughter, transforming into a Sword Light, and arrived at that battlefield in a flash.
There, two youths were fighting in blood.
