Chapter 631: The Instant Movement Technique
Witnessing Garuluo's extremely swift movement technique, Zhang Nuo gasped slightly; that was clearly the legendary Instant Movement Technique! The speed was pushed to the absolute limit! Even the fist wind unleashed by the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image could not keep up!
However, it is rumored that this Instant Movement Technique consumes a massive amount of Spirit Power, and the cultivator's body experiences a tremendous tearing sensation during high-speed movement. If the physical body is not sufficiently formidable, the body would be directly pulled apart by this force and transformed into a mass of Blood Mist!
Therefore, this type of Instant Movement Technique is very difficult to execute unless one is a Body Refining practitioner or has reached the Great Accomplishment Stage and can use Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to reconstruct the physical body.
Yet, from Garuluo's expression, it was not hard for Zhang Nuo to see that the previous use of the Instant Movement Technique had truly caused him some trouble as well!
"It seems it is impossible for this Emperor to take you down without using my true abilities! Since that is the case, I shall let you, a junior, witness the strength of a True Immortal!"
After several rounds of attacks, Garuluo had not gained any advantage and was already filled with irrepressible anger. Seeing Zhang Nuo unleash various rare divine abilities, he immediately developed a murderous intent!
Without any visible movement, he let out a cold snort, and a black ring and a white ring suddenly flew off, one toward the sky and one toward the ground! At the same time, the bodies of the rings expanded continuously, eventually reaching a size of several thousand miles!
In the blink of an eye, both rings completely vanished! Zhang Nuo stood in place, feeling nothing unusual, but at the moment the rings disappeared, a white spirit light flashed above Garuluo's head, and at the same time, a black spirit light flickered in the void behind Zhang Nuo's back!
Then, Garuluo disappeared from the distance, and the next moment he appeared directly behind Zhang Nuo, thrusting one hand out rapidly to strike fiercely at his heart from behind!
Sensing a malicious wind behind him, Zhang Nuo did not even turn his head. Yellow electric arcs flashed on his body, and accompanied by a peal of thunder, he transformed into a slender arc of electricity and vanished from the spot!
Garuluo's grab missed, but there was not a hint of surprise on his face. A hundred 333-meter distance away, Zhang Nuo's body had just appeared, and a black aura emerged behind him again, followed by the ghost-like appearance of Garuluo!
After several consecutive times, a chill ran down Zhang Nuo's spine! With such bizarre attack methods, even with a technique like Thunder Escape, he was in great danger; if he made a single mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable!
In the moment of his hesitation, Garuluo repeated his old trick, appearing behind Zhang Nuo once more. This time, Zhang Nuo did not dodge; his shoulders moved simultaneously, and two heads grew out from them. Turning slightly to face Garuluo, they opened their mouths at the same time, and two light beams, one red and one gold, each as thick as a bowl, shot toward Garuluo, who was reaching out to grab him!
The distance was so close, and the emergence of the Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect and Qiongqi was so bizarre that Garuluo had no defense. Boom! Boom! After two loud bangs, both light beams struck Garuluo simultaneously!
This blasted the True Immortal back several hundred 333-meter distances, his black robe beaten into tatters! Zhang Nuo quickly turned around to look at Garuluo, only to see violent Demonic Energy erupting from his body, covering the wounds. When the Demonic Energy dissipated, everything returned to as it was, even the damaged robe was whole and intact!
"This... how is this possible! Are you a human cultivator, or a cultivator from the Demon Realm?"
Looking at the two Spirit Beast heads on Zhang Nuo's shoulders, it was clear they were alive and possessed independent thought, but he could not understand how the Spirit Beasts had merged with Zhang Nuo!
"Why don't you ask them yourself!"
As he spoke, Zhang Nuo haughtily cast his gaze toward the sky and the ground. In truth, he was searching for the black and white rings. The attack Garuluo had just unleashed was likely not the Instant Movement Technique, but rather, as before, executed by utilizing the divine abilities within the black and white rings!
The white light that appeared above Garuluo's head and the black light that appeared behind Zhang Nuo when the technique was activated were the best proof; Garuluo would only manifest where a black light appeared!
"Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect! The true form of that Spirit Beast is actually this kind of spirit insect! And the Qiongqi beast too! How did you obtain them?"
With just a glance, Garuluo recognized the origins of Xuanjin and Qiongqi. Although he was a True Immortal, these two types of Spirit Beasts were rare and hard to come by even for him!
"Senior Garuluo, your eye is truly sharp. This Emperor has fought many cultivators, but very few have been able to recognize them!"
Smacking his lips, Zhang Nuo said indifferently.
"Since you possess such Spirit Beasts, then I cannot let you live even more!"
A scorching look appeared in his eyes. Garuluo pinched magic seals with both hands simultaneously and then raised them high toward the sky. Two strands of pure Demonic Energy rose from his arms, only to disappear in a bizarre fashion!
But at that very instant, Zhang Nuo felt a sudden pressure above his head! Looking up, he saw that at some point, two giant palms surging with Demonic Qi had appeared in mid-air, dozens of zhang above his body. Each was dozens of zhang in size, blotting out the sky as they pressed down rapidly toward him!
This time, Zhang Nuo did not even dodge. As his hands clenched and relaxed simultaneously, two purple Thunder Balls the size of beans appeared, and he offered the two Thunder Balls up toward the sky!
Boom! Boom!
Two massive explosions rang out, and countless purple electric arcs flashed in the sky. As soon as this Purple Lightning Wild Thunder encountered the Demonic Qi, it was like a mosquito seeing blood; in an instant, the Demonic Qi that had formed the two giant demonic hands vanished into nothingness!
"Purple Lightning Wild Thunder! Just how many secrets do you have!"
The moment the demonic hands disappeared, Garuluo's hands also fell, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes as he spoke.
Zhang Nuo only sneered, his hands clenching and relaxing again, and two golden Thunder Balls appeared! He backhanded them toward Garuluo!
The yellow thunder was originally the Mysterious Yellow Rushing Thunder of Fang Leihuo. When Zhang Nuo killed Fang Leihuo, he obtained the long sword containing this thunder. After several years of refining, he had successfully transformed it into a Xia Xia Xia Linggen! Executing the Thunder Art now was countless times faster than before!
Seeing the two small yellow light orbs flying toward him, a white light flashed above Garuluo's head, and then a black light appeared a hundred 333-meter distance away, his body appearing beneath the black light accordingly! But what he did not expect was that the moment his body manifested, the Mysterious Yellow Rushing Thunder, highly compressed by the Thunder Art, exploded!
The rumbling thunder echoed through the sky, and countless rushing thunders flashed to Garuluo's proximity! Only after flashing consecutively several times did he dodge the attack of the Mysterious Yellow Rushing Thunder!
Beneath the black robe, Garuluo's expression could not have been uglier. Two piercing gazes, like two knives, stared fixedly at Zhang Nuo! Finally, he threw his head back and let out a long howl, slamming one hand fiercely against his crown!
After a soft 'pop', the space behind Garuluo twisted and changed, finally producing a phantom image over a dozen 3.3-meter distances in size! Within the phantom image, surging black seawater billowed to the heavens! And above the sea surface was an endless expanse of black storm clouds.
Those storm clouds looked extremely heavy, giving one the feeling of 'black clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it'!
"Divine Sea vision! Is this the Divine Sea vision of a True Immortal?"
Zhang Nuo watched carefully, feeling that apart from the power being much greater, there was nothing special about it at all! But in an instant, he knew he was wrong!
Because at the same time Garuluo's Divine Sea vision appeared, Zhang Nuo discovered that the surrounding scenery had become exactly the same as the scenery in the opponent's Divine Sea vision. In other words, a True Immortal's Divine Sea vision could actually assimilate surrounding objects!
At this moment, Garuluo stopped speaking. He had developed a keen interest in this body of Zhang Nuo's. If such a cultivator could advance to the Great Accomplishment Stage, the power could rival a True Immortal!
Within the Divine Sense vision, the storm clouds spread out, and after several transformations, they turned into several black Qilin. Each of these Qilin was a hundred zhang in size, and they simultaneously let out a low roar as they pounced toward Zhang Nuo!
Seeing this, Zhang Nuo likewise reached out and slapped his own crown. As he pinched a seal with one hand, the space behind him twisted and changed instantly, and his Divine Sea vision rose rapidly!
A giant bright moon bloomed with endless Moonlight Essence, covering the heads of the several giant black Qilin!
A series of shrill roars came, and the Qilin, which had been arrogant and overbearing just a moment ago, all instantly turned into patches of storm clouds and vanished in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, Zhang Nuo urged his Divine Sense, and the Four Great True Spirit Sacred Beasts from the Divine Sea vision behind him leaped out, circled in mid-air, and all dove down toward Garuluo!
The phoenix cried and the tiger roared! The dragon groaned and the turtle bellowed! The sounds of the four True Spirits mixed together, causing even the storm clouds in Garuluo's Divine Sea to tremble!
Beneath the black robe, Garuluo frowned tightly. He had long expected that Zhang Nuo would be able to summon a Divine Sea vision after merging the Nine Divine Seas, but what he never expected was that there were actually phantom images of the Four Great True Spirit Sacred Beasts within the opponent's Divine Sea vision!
The battle had been going on for some time, and Zhang Nuo had hardly repeated a move; just how many secrets did he have! But time did not allow Garuluo to think too much, as the phantom images of the Four Great True Spirit Sacred Beasts were about to strike him!
With his Divine Sense linked, a gale blew within the Divine Sea vision, and the black seawater was rolled high up, forming a spectacle of a dragon drawing water! At the same time, the swirling water column emerged from the Divine Sea vision, transforming into a giant black water pillar thousands of zhang thick, which lashed out to meet the phantom images of the Four Great True Spirit Sacred Beasts!
Hum!
With this strike, the heavens and earth changed color, the void between Zhang Nuo and Garuluo shattered completely, and countless space storms rolled out from within, tearing both visions apart simultaneously!
A moment later, the space closed, and everything returned to calm! Garuluo looked toward where Zhang Nuo was, his pupils shrinking suddenly, a look of fear appearing on his face!
For there, Zhang Nuo was holding a blood-red long sword in his hand!
