Chapter 335: Your Karmic Opportunity Has Arrived

Although murderous intent surged in his heart, Lu Yang did not rush to act; after all, in this life he was to join the Sword Pavilion and become a good person from then on.

"Boom!"

In a flash, the Human Immortal Cheng Xian of the Myriad Spirits Realm had arrived before him, yet at the same time, another figure blocked him.

"Yu Shao!"

Cheng Xian's gaze turned grim, then he laughed loudly: "Good! Today I will capture you both; some day the Three Immortal Officials will surely have a place for me!"

Although the Purifying Demons True Person had just displayed incomparably overwhelming power, a sword light had directly swept away the Minghua Celestial Immortal and three Earth Immortals, wounding them all severely, yet for some reason, Cheng Xian felt no fear at all in his heart; instead, he inexplicably grew excited.

'Actually, I could have fled just now?'

—Such thoughts had barely surfaced when Cheng Xian swiftly crushed them.

Ye Guyue intentionally left an opening; the old him would have surely tried to slip away, but now, his heart was filled with a single thought:

'Eliminate Yu Shao and reclaim the Shen Metal!'

Driven by this thought, Cheng Xian hesitated not, immediately gathering his magic power to the fullest, and suddenly a thunderous, ear-splitting grand incantation exploded from his mouth:

'【Injury】, 【Remove】!'

The thunderous sound vibrated; only to see Cheng Xian's originally severely wounded body begin to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to a perfect state!

Seeing this, Yu Shao's expression immediately darkened:

'True Word Technique!'

Cultivation in the Profound Spirit Realm differs from Foundation Establishment; it is not about combining different divine abilities and finally sublimating them to the extreme, but rather pushing a single divine ability to its peak.

Ghost, Spirit, Human, Earth, Heaven.

Five Immortal Ranks; Ghost Immortals and Spirit Immortals are merely accumulation, only upon reaching Human Immortal can one receive a gift from the Heavenly Court, perceive the natural world, and finally comprehend a 【Technique】.

Sublimating the 【Technique】 into 【Magic Power】 makes one an Earth Immortal.

Sublimating the 【Magic Power】 into the 【Dao】 makes one a Celestial Immortal.

And if the 【Dao】 can align with the Heavenly Court, one can borrow the Heavenly Court to spread one's own lineage throughout the world, manifest the true law for heaven and earth, and thus ascend to the Supreme Position.

As the lineage of the Supreme's Dao and Magic Power in the Profound Spirit Realm, what Cheng Xian comprehended was the 【True Word Technique】; if he later advanced to Earth Immortal, he could transform it into the 【Heavenly Edict Righteous Law】; if he advanced further, it could become the 【Supreme Truth Director Immortal Dao】; currently, it is the foremost lineage of the Profound Spirit Realm.

And the so-called 【True Word Technique】.

As the name implies, it is one word becoming the law of heaven and earth; it contains numerous incantations, every word and phrase like a divine ability, capable of producing incredible effects!

For instance, at this very moment.

Cheng Xian relied on the 【True Word Technique】 to temporarily remove the influence of his injuries on himself, raising his combat power back to its peak state.

However, this is not truly speaking and the law following; the so-called removal of injuries is only temporary; once Cheng Xian's magic power is exhausted and he can no longer maintain the operation of the 【True Word Technique】, the removed injuries will return, and at that time, there will not be the slightest improvement, but rather the condition will worsen several times over!

'A prolonged battle is unfavorable; one must decide quickly!'

Although Cheng Xian could not generate even a shred of thought to flee in his heart, he remained clear-headed and calm; with a mere thought, he had already directed thirty percent of his magic power to his throat:

'【Death】!'

Life and death are impermanent; this single character is the one most skilled at killing in the 【True Word Technique】; now it burst forth from his mouth, locking directly onto Yu Shao.

In just one glance, Yu Shao's entire body was covered in thick death qi; without any warning, he inhaled but could not exhale; his face turned a greenish-white, and he could only retreat in a disheveled manner, gathering his magic power to resist the heavy drowsiness arising in his mind.

He could not even withstand a single move!

Both being Human Immortals, Cheng Xian's single '【Death】' character almost caused Yu Shao to die on the spot; such power made Ye Guyue and Ye Xingfeng's expressions sink.

'This person indeed has some means.'

'If the World Uncle had not intervened, fighting him alone, the outcome would be fifty-fifty.'

'But it is just right; let this person kill that Lu Yang, which counts as making good use of him; with his strength, the World Uncle would have no reason to say we failed in our protection.'

In a magical duel, divine abilities do not have eyes.

If one is not careful, dying is very normal.

Thinking of this, Ye Xingfeng and Ye Guyue exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words; Ye Xingfeng quietly rode a sword light to arrive behind Lu Yang.

Although he planned to let Cheng Xian kill Lu Yang, the Shen Metal was too important to let Cheng Xian truly obtain it; so he intended to first use Lu Yang as a flesh shield in front, and when Cheng Xian killed him and was exhausted of qi and strength, he would then strike to seize the treasure; he figured Cheng Xian would be powerless to stop him.

Everything happened in a flash.

The next second, as Yu Shao retreated in panic and no one stood before Lu Yang to block him, Cheng Xian once again gathered his magic power to the fullest and burst a thunderous sound from his mouth:

'【Execute】!'

The power of this single character was in no way inferior to '【Death】'; in an instant, layers of heavenly light were seen spraying from his mouth, first falling upon Lu Yang.

Countless threads of Jin Guang densely covered layer upon layer, thus transforming into a great net that bound Lu Yang's entire body, making his magical body unable to move for a moment; only then did a formless killing intent descend, like a guillotine, from top to bottom, striking down at Lu Yang with an irresistible force!

First accuse, then kill; this is called 'Execute'!

Almost simultaneously, at the position behind Lu Yang, Ye Xingfeng, while dealing with several Human Immortals, was directing his entire body's magic power, ready to strike and seize the treasure at any moment.

However, in the next second.

Lu Yang was seen raising his head, a smile appearing on his face; his lips split, his flesh and skin crumbled, and in a single breath, he transformed into rolling smoke like waves!

'【Sea of Irrigation of Sorrow】!'

After returning from the Realm of No Heaven, he received the second Great Void divine ability bestowed upon him; like the 【Bone of All Fragrances】, it ranked among the superior, but its mystery was entirely different.

Lu Yang's body, under the support of this divine ability, exploded with a boom; the rolling smoke instantly covered most of the sky, as if truly transforming into an ocean; Cheng Xian's '【Execute】' True Word fell upon this mass of smoke and actually passed straight through.

Returned without success?

"Ahhh!!!"

Before anyone could react, a miserable, extreme scream of grievance suddenly emerged from the sky-filling sea of smoke transformed by Lu Yang.

"Xingfeng!?" Ye Guyue's beautiful face changed abruptly.

Cheng Xian's full-force strike, although it missed Lu Yang who had instantly transformed into a sea of smoke, hit Ye Xingfeng behind Lu Yang without missing or deviating!

Originally, Lu Yang should have faced Cheng Xian's full-force strike; whether he died or not in the end, Ye Xingfeng would have struck. If he died, that was perfect; he would kill Cheng Xian in the chaos and reclaim the Shen Metal. If he did not die, it did not matter; he would casually finish him off with a sword, thus settling their karmic debt.

However, Lu Yang had dodged.

Then he would be the unlucky one.

In mid-air, Ye Xingfeng stumbled, his flesh and skin evaporating violently; cracks formed across his body, and magic power poured out continuously.

It couldn't be stopped!

Worse still, he was simultaneously fighting several Immortals from the Xuanling Realm, who were naturally delighted to strike while he was down and would certainly show no mercy.

"Boom!"

The next second, Ye Xingfeng's figure was struck by several beams of brilliant light; his already crumbling magical body could no longer sustain itself and exploded into fragments with a boom!

On the other side, the misty sea rolled back and receded, reforming Lu Yang's figure. His Dao robe billowed as rolling clouds poured from his sleeves, swirling around him. He floated like a celestial being, his extremely handsome face furrowed with genuine sorrow.

"Alas!"

"Senior Brother Ye, your karmic fate has arrived!"
