Chapter 779: Life and Death Wheel against Life and Death Wheel

"Kill, kill, kill!"

At the foot of Shuiyang Mountain.

The sounds of battle cries were everywhere.

The army led by Wei Taicang launched wave after wave of frenzied attacks; the killing sounds shook the heavens, and fresh blood was sprayed, staining the enemy's firmament with an aura of grim slaughter.

Shuiyang Mountain was, after all, the old lair of the Daluo Sect, teeming with experts and protected by a Protective Mountain Array; countless Daluo disciples and government soldiers engaged in a fierce battle, and the entire battlefield reached a stalemate.

Boom!

The earth trembled, and Haotian Golden Chapter moved.

He charged directly into this battlefield.

With the body of a Human Immortal, he did not even need to use his hands. His Qi and Blood erupted, whipping up a powerful hurricane and rolling shockwaves as he pushed straight through. The Daluo Sect disciples were sent flying by the violent, massive waves, crashing onto the ground and falling into heaps of flesh and mud. That so-called Protective Mountain Array was even thinner than paper before him.

"Fire arrows!"

"Stop him."

An Elder retreated into heavy protection and said in an incomparably cold voice.

This Elder practiced Daoist arts; the battlefield was where blood energy was most vigorous, and with the addition of the Human Immortal expert Haotian Jinzhang, his spirit was completely suppressed, leaving him unable to help on the battlefield.

Strange weapon racks were pushed out one by one, each holding hundreds of small cylinders; inside the cylinders, cold light gleamed—they were sharp arrows.

As these ten thousand arrows were fired simultaneously, a black cloud shrouded Haotian Jinzhang with extreme speed, completely disregarding the other Daluo Sect disciples.

These were no ordinary arrows, but specially crafted "True-Breaking Arrows," which had great lethality against Martial Dao experts and were one of the foundations of the Daluo Sect. Each arrow was extremely precious; this volley of ten thousand arrows was equivalent to consuming millions of taels of silver in one go.

It was simply smashing people with money.

Haotian Jinzhang's body suddenly stilled, transitioning from extreme motion to extreme stillness.

Facing the ten thousand True-Breaking Arrows, he took a deep breath and then let out a roar.

This was the roar of a Human Immortal.

An invisible wave immediately spread out; the stones on the ground exploded in succession, and the Daluo Sect disciples closer by exploded directly into mists of blood. Even those with extremely high Martial Dao cultivation, having reached the realm of Martial Saint, only felt a thunderbolt explode, tearing their eardrums, causing their Qi orifices to bleed, and leaving them teetering on the verge of collapse.

Swept by this sound wave, the arrows stopped abruptly in mid-air, then crumbled into powder, drifting away in the air.

"A fine Martial Dao Human Immortal, truly strong, but my Daluo Sect is not a place for you to be presumptuous."

Just at this moment, a vast, magnificent, and even slightly divine voice drifted down from the sky.

Crack! A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, turning the world white. After the lightning vanished, a figure appeared between heaven and earth, with an appearance identical to the Heavenly Venerable Temple destroyed by countless people; it was the Daluo Tianzun of the Daluo Sect.

Daluo Tianzun had a pair of silver eyes, a slightly long face, and fine stubble on his chin, with a sense of vicissitudes in his eyes. He was a very complex fellow; his expression was cold and firm, yet his eyes revealed very fervent and rich emotions. But occasionally, he would give people a feeling of greed and evil.

Various different auras intertwined, full of contradictions, yet vaguely giving him a sense of holiness.

This was not hard to understand; Daluo Tianzun accepted worship and enjoyed incense, with countless thoughts converging upon him.

Those who knelt to him all had requests in their hearts and were not purely worshipping, and as Daluo Tianzun absorbed faith and refined his spirit, he naturally could not avoid being influenced.

"The Heavenly Venerable has descended."

"Long live the Heavenly Venerable!!"

Upon seeing Daluo Tianzun, everyone in the Daluo Sect was excited to the extreme. Some Daluo disciples even disregarded the battlefield to prostrate themselves in worship.

Of course, those battle-hardened soldiers, after a brief moment of shock, swung their blades at the Daluo disciples without hesitation, and blood splattered. If you dare to be distracted on the battlefield, you deserve to die!

"This Heavenly Venerable has returned to Great Gan from the Zhongqian Shijie for some time. Although you destroyed my temple, that is a worldly matter, and this Heavenly Venerable does not wish to intervene. But you are now truly bullying people too much, attempting to annihilate the Daluo Sect, so do not blame this Heavenly Venerable for taking action." Daluo Tianzun's voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens, and yet it also seemed to rise from the depths of everyone's hearts.

"Too much nonsense, die for me!" Haotian Jinzhang followed his consistent principle of being ruthless and speaking little; he clenched his five fingers, and the Qi and Blood throughout his body surged like the raging waves of the sea. Within his body, it was as if a great sun had ignited, and even space seemed to wrinkle. Then, amidst the wailing of the air unable to bear the burden, he clenched his fist and smashed it toward Daluo Tianzun with a boom.

With this one punch, the air within a hundred-zhang radius was shaken away, as if a hundred bombs had been dropped in an instant.

"This guy is likely not easy to deal with." Knowing that Haotian Jinzhang was a Human Immortal, Daluo Tianzun still dared to appear; his cultivation was naturally earth-shattering.

But this punch before him gave him a long-lost feeling of heart-pounding terror.

As his mind moved, a massive pillar of light condensed, connecting heaven and earth, and met Haotian Jinzhang.

Meanwhile, a highly respected Elder of the Daluo Sect took out a giant bow that was over a person's height.

The two ends of the giant bow were carved with ferocious beast heads and inlaid with red treasures, giving it a savage, violent feeling, filled with killing intent.

On the Elder's shoulder hung a quiver containing nine arrows, all four feet long and as thick as a thumb, covered in strange runes that were not written on but seemed to have formed naturally.

These were the two most powerful treasures among the Peach God Seven Treasures.

—Shake Heaven Bow, Infinite Arrow!

Bang bang bang!!

The Elder drew the bowstring until it was like a full moon; in nine successive sounds, the nine Infinite Arrows flew out violently, whistling through the air like Flying Swords. In particular, each arrow emitted a wailing sound like thousands of fierce ghosts, a sound so piercing it felt as if it would rip a person's soul out, which was terrifying.

These nine arrows twisted left and right, weaving up and down on the battlefield, flying back and forth; the streaks of shadows they drew looked like ten thousand arrows raining down.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred soldiers had their chests pierced through, dead beyond a doubt.

Yet the power on these nine arrows did not diminish in the slightest; instead, they grew faster, and the whistling sound became more and more piercing.

It turned out that the Yin Yang Primordial Hole Great Method had been imbued upon these arrows, allowing them to absorb the spirits of humans and beasts to strengthen their own power! The more living beings killed and the more spirits absorbed, the more fierce and agile the arrow's momentum became! Back then, the Sect Master of the Peach God Dao relied on this one bow and nine arrows to help the Shen Feng Kingdom's navy withstand the attack of the Yunmeng's three-hundred-thousand-strong naval army!

Of course, the Elder also understood that merely killing small soldiers was far from enough to resolve the current predicament.

"Nine arrows into one!"

Immediately, the Elder let out a fierce shout and pulled the bowstring; the Array within the Shake Heaven Bow began to influence the Infinite Arrows.

The nine arrows drew together as if bound by an invisible force, and in their rapid rotation, they formed a drill as large as a leg, spinning incessantly as it drilled straight toward Wei Taicang.

As long as Wei Taicang, who was the Governor-General, was killed, the remaining soldiers would naturally lose their morale.

As these nine arrows were bound together and spinning rapidly, the airflow in front of the tip was torn into visible swirling waves of air; meanwhile, within the vortex, countless sparks exploded even more violently.

"Hey, hey! I am a Martial Saint at the very least; do you really take me for fish on a chopping block!!" Wei Taicang shook his head, his muscles and bones crackling like firecrackers, and his right hand pressed onto his long saber. Although the blade had not left its sheath, such momentum was as if a Primordial Saber Demon had descended into the human world!

Swish!

When the nine arrows were less than a zhang away from Wei Taicang, the saber in his hand was suddenly drawn; a flash of bright radiance rose up, like a crescent moon, carrying the power to intimidate gods and demons. The saber light and the arrow light collided, erupting with dazzling sparks, tip against tip, scattering countless arcs of essence light.

Bang!

Wei Taicang's arm muscles knotted, his sword momentum exploded with a boom, and the shattered arrow fragments were pulverized by the blade light.

The expressions of everyone from the Daluo Sect changed, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads.

Meanwhile, the surrounding government soldiers saw Wei Taicang's awe-inspiring divine might and shouted in unison.

"Heh, let you all witness the methods of my Saintly Hand Heavenly Blade." Wei Taicang chuckled, then immediately charged into the battlefield like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

……

In the Back Mountain.

The acupuncture points within Yu Liancheng's body opened, and a vast, peerless power erupted from each one.

According to the exposition of the Heavens Life and Death Wheel, a human body is a small universe, and each acupuncture point is a star dotted within that universe.

On every star dwells a God, and when the power of these Gods erupts, it will transcend everything and obliterate life and death.

And now, the Gods within Yu Liancheng's acupuncture points were waking up one after another, flying out from the points, roaring and howling as they hoisted a massive wheel seal that spanned the heavens and earth. The wheel seal condensed unimaginable physique, blood energy, and fist imprints, revealing a violence, tyranny, and lawlessness capable of crushing everything.

As Yu Liancheng pushed out his fist, the wheel seal rotated, simultaneously crashing toward Hong Xuanji's wheel seal.

Hong Xuanji's eyes flashed with brilliance, his fist moving forward with indomitable will. Although the opponent's Heavens Life and Death Wheel seemed larger and more terrifying than his own, he was the creator of the Heavens Life and Death Wheel; no one could defeat him using this fist technique, and he had that confidence. The life and death wheel was born from his fist, and he was the God King pushing the wheel seal.

Boom!!

The two wheels collided with a roar.

In that instant, endless force swept out, thunderous sounds rolled, and it seemed as if the heavens and earth were about to be overturned. At the center where the two wheels clashed, black spatial rifts even appeared, spreading rapidly until it was soon pitch black.

In terms of sheer power, it was by no means inferior to the battle between the Daluo Tianzun and the human immortal clone.

Crack, crack!

Suddenly, the smaller of the two wheel seals began to show cracks and disintegrate under the crushing pressure of the larger wheel.

Bang!!

The small wheel was completely blasted away.

And Hong Xuanji, who had unleashed this punch, was likewise sent flying like a cannonball.

With a boom, the entire mountain range seemed to tremble.

"You, you are actually a human immortal!?"

After seven or eight breaths, Hong Xuanji reappeared before Yu Liancheng, his clothes tattered and in a wretched state.

"Surprised? I am a genius of heaven, and after a few years of tempering, breaking through the peak of the Martial God to achieve human immortal status is only natural, isn't it?" Yu Liancheng shrugged, then looked at the wheel seal above Hong Xuanji's head that hadn't been retracted, which was already shattered, and couldn't help but laugh: "Good, Wuwen Marquis, you have now become a broken-wheel holder."

"Hmph, what a Champion Marquis, stop being arrogant. Although you have achieved human immortal status, it won't be so easy to defeat me."

Hong Xuanji's eyes narrowed into slits, he formed a fist seal with one hand, and spat out a single word.

"Space!"

Boom!!

This sound unfolded like thunder.

At the same time, a fist intent squeezed toward Yu Liancheng from all directions.

This fist intent was incomparably pure and possessed the power to solidify the soul; it was precisely the supreme art he had obtained from Meng Bingyun in the past.

Yu Liancheng's figure suddenly broke through the blockade of the fist seal and appeared before Hong Xuanji. Thousands of living beings within his acupuncture points pushed the life and death wheel, and another Heavens Life and Death Wheel smashed down, shaking the sky.

Bang!!

The pupils in Hong Xuanji's eyes shrank.

The fist struck his chest, without any trickery.

He only felt the force within his body churning, as if his flesh, meridians, and acupuncture points were about to explode. His entire person was sent flying horizontally once again.

"Not that hard either."

Yu Liancheng let his sleeves hang down, as if murmuring to himself.

He was now at the level of a mid-stage human immortal; beating a Peak Martial Saint was as simple as beating a son.

This time, it took Hong Xuanji longer to appear before Yu Liancheng, and he was even more wretched, disheveled, with tattered clothes and covered in blood.

Yu Liancheng's punch had landed solidly on him, breaking most of the bones in his body, causing him to vomit large mouthfuls of blood, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead. The physical pain was actually nothing, but in that instant, being crushed by Yu Liancheng's fist intent, that Heavens Life and Death Wheel which surpassed his own had dealt a massive shock to his will.

"Impossible, how could you be this strong?" Hong Xuanji stared fixedly at Yu Liancheng.

"It is you who are too weak."

Yu Liancheng turned his head, ignoring all obstacles, and looked toward the foot of the mountain: "It seems that even if you, Wuwen Marquis, arrived in person, you cannot change the outcome of the Daluo Sect's destruction."

Hong Xuanji said coldly: "The Daluo Sect's Daluo Tianzun is at least a Fourfold Lightning Tribulation, perhaps even five or six. If you destroy the Daluo Sect, he will certainly not let you go."

Boom!!

This sentence had just fallen.

It was as if a meteor had fallen from the sky, smashing fiercely into the ground, sending soil flying and causing the earth to tremble.

And the figure that fell from the sky tried to struggle to his feet, but his injuries were too severe; he had just stood up when he stumbled again.

Immediately after, another figure fell like a meteor, and a foot actually stepped fiercely onto the head of the person who had fallen previously: "Is this the one you were talking about?"

Hong Xuanji looked closely; standing there was a figure holding his head high like a God. This person's aura was completely not below that of the Champion Marquis; it was actually another human immortal.

And under this human immortal's foot, the guy who was trying to struggle up but was being stepped on firmly, wasn't that the Daluo Tianzun he had worshipped with incense in the past?
