Chapter 739: The Demise of the Taishan Prefecture Lord

Feeling the power of the Taishan Prefecture Lord's palm, Liu Bian's thought moved, and a Lower Grade Immortal Grade Long Sword had already appeared in his hand.

Before this cross‑realm, Liu Bian was afraid that a Martial Venerable Realm strongman would appear.

He spent ten million National Fortune Value in the System Mall to exchange two Lower Grade Immortal Artifact‑level swords.

However, for Lower Grade Immortal Artifact‑level weapons, Liu Bian's World Avatar could only exert one or two percent of their power.

After all, an Immortal Artifact is a weapon used by Immortal Persons, and its consumption is terrifyingly huge.

Liu Bian lifted his Long Sword and gave a light swing, sending a blade‑qi nearly a thousand zhang toward the palm seal in the air.

Boom—!

After a deafening blast, the palm seal was shattered by the blade‑qi, which, undiminished, continued to assault the Taishan Prefecture Lord.

"Impossible! You, a Martial Emperor Eight Heavens, how can you be this strong!"

Seeing his own attack shattered while the opponent's blade‑qi still had strength to strike him, the Taishan Prefecture Lord shouted in shocked amazement.

Liu Bian's attack power far exceeded his expectations; after all, it was a full‑force strike of the Half‑Step Martial Venerable Realm.

Moreover, Creation Divine Palm is a Heavenly Grade Lower Grade Martial Technique, and even those at the Half‑Step Martial Venerable Realm must use their full strength to resist it.

But Liu Bian is only a Martial Emperor Eight Heavens.

He not only blocked his attack, but also had enough strength to counterattack.

Nevertheless, no matter how shocked he was, upon seeing the blade‑qi rushing toward him, he still acted to block it.

Boom—!

The blade‑qi and the palm seal collided, emitting a massive roar.

The aftershock of their duel forced the onlookers to retreat a considerable distance again.

However, this encounter made Liu Bian realize the strength of the Half‑Step Martial Venerable Realm.

Although the Half‑Step Martial Venerable Realm is powerful, it is still within his handling range; with the power of an Immortal Artifact, it is not impossible to slay.

"I didn't expect your strength to be so limited; with such power, how dare you make me submit to you!"

Looking at the Taishan Prefecture Lord's gloomy face, Liu Bian sneered with mocking laughter.

"Kid, the strength of the Half‑Step Martial Venerable Realm is not something you can imagine!"

"You don't think that is my true strength, do you? The earlier was merely a test."

"Now, I will let you know what the true Half‑Step Martial Venerable Realm is!"

Liu Bian's words provoked the Taishan Prefecture Lord, whose face flushed red as he shouted angrily at Liu Bian.

After the Taishan Prefecture Lord finished speaking, a Long Spear radiating a powerful aura appeared in his hand.

Judging by its aura, the spear's grade had reached Heavenly Upper Grade.

Liu Bian hadn't expected that the Taishan Prefecture Lord's hand would wield a Heavenly Upper Grade weapon.

"Flame Sun Spear Technique, Starfire Spreads Across the Plains!"

With a mighty shout, the Taishan Prefecture Lord unleashed a flame‑filled Long Spear nearly a thousand zhang long, striking Liu Bian fiercely.

"Interesting, the power of this martial technique is nearing Heavenly Middle Grade; it seems the Taishan Prefecture Lord's technique is indeed formidable!"

Once a martial technique reaches Heavenly Grade, it requires not only great Spiritual Power to execute.

Moreover, it can mobilize the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to further boost its power.

Facing the Taishan Prefecture Lord's attack, Liu Bian dared not be complacent.

"King's Way Three Swords, Sword of Judgment!"

With a low shout, Liu Bian sent a blade‑qi nearly a thousand zhang toward the spear tip of the Taishan Prefecture Lord.

Bang!

The two attacks collided, producing a deafening sound, and the tremendous impact rippled the surrounding space with faint undulations.

"Flame Sun Spear Technique, Flame Sun Shines the World!"

"King's Way Three Swords, Sword of Adjudication!"

Their attacks collided again, making the space seem as if it would be shattered.

Soon, Liu Bian and the Taishan Prefecture Lord engaged in close‑quarters combat.

Their silhouettes continuously collided in the sky.

The onlookers all stared intently at their figures.

Both sides understood that this duel would decide the outcome of the great battle.

Between them, only the victor could claim this triumph.

When their figures separated, they each unleashed another ultimate move.

"Flame Sun Spear Technique, Crimson Earth for a Thousand Miles!"

"King's Way Three Swords, Sword of Domination!"

Bang!

However, this time, the Taishan Prefecture Lord, being a Half‑Step Martial Venerable Realm, was injured by Liu Bian's strike.

Seeing blood continuously flowing from his chest, the Taishan Prefecture Lord's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He was injured by an ant of Martial Emperor Eight Heavens!

To him, this was an outrageous humiliation!

"Good! Good, good!"

"For how many years have you been the first person to wound me? When I capture you, I will thoroughly torment you!"

"Die for me..."

Pfft!

But before he could finish, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

At the same time, he felt that within his body a powerful Spiritual Energy was continuously damaging his internal meridians.

Moreover, with his Half-Step Martial Venerable Realm strength, he actually could not stop this Spiritual Energy.

At this moment he finally became a bit panicked; if this continued, his cultivation would be ruined.

"What method is this, that even I, this lord, cannot eliminate it!"

Actually, the Taishan Prefecture Lord did not know that this particular Spiritual Energy was precisely the Celestial Spiritual Energy inherent in a Lower Grade Immortal Artifact.

Given the Taishan Prefecture Lord's Half-Step Martial Venerable Realm cultivation, naturally he could not handle this Celestial Spiritual Energy.

However, regarding his problem, Liu Bian would not give any further explanation.

This moment was the perfect opportunity to slay the Taishan Prefecture Lord, and he would not miss it.

"Imperial Dragon Fist, Human Emperor opens the frontier!"

As Liu Bian unleashed the Imperial Dragon Fist, a majestic Human Emperor illusion appeared behind him.

The moment the Human Emperor illusion appeared, everyone felt that a supreme Human Emperor had descended.

In their hearts, not a single thought of resistance arose; instead, an impulse to bow in worship was born.

"Argh!"

Immediately thereafter, the Human Emperor illusion swung a fist toward the direction of the Taishan Prefecture Lord.

A thousand‑zhang‑sized Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, following the Human Emperor fist shadow, shot out, charging straight at the Taishan Prefecture Lord.

At this moment, the Taishan Prefecture Lord, who was struggling to suppress the Celestial Spiritual Energy within his body, had not yet had time to act when the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon struck him fiercely.

"Bang!"

After a deafening blast, the Taishan Prefecture Lord, who had not yet lived a full lifetime, was instantly annihilated by the Golden Dragon.

The generation of overlord who had roamed Tian Jie for millennia fell into Liu Bian's hands.

At this moment, Liu Bian's aura also became somewhat ethereal.

Even after a series of battles, he nearly exhausted his Spiritual Energy.
