Chapter 1253

Lu Yang finished cursing Ying Tian Xian and hurriedly escaped from beneath the Sixth Immortal, while in his mental space came the anxious urging of the Immortal Maiden.

"Yun girl, have you taken care of it?"

"Please, Immortal Maiden senior, bear with me a moment; if I act rashly, the opponent might flee upon seeing the situation is unfavorable, and I will soon be able to set things up."

……

Heavenly thunder shone brightly; Zhongshan Commandery had already become a Lei Ting Wang Yang, the land scorched black, rolling thunderous sounds mighty, piercing the void for millions of li, and storms raged, flying sand and rolling stones, such that if divine sense were extended, it would be blown away in an instant, interfering with the Sixth Immortal's perception.

Sweet dew descended, healing the Kirin Immortal's wounds.

Ying Tian Xian stood amidst the Lei Ting Wang Yang, with three thousand heavenly thunders above her head and earth-fire-wind-water beneath her feet, truly the master of the heavenly tribulation.

"Shangqing Heavenly Thunder!"

If the dispelling evil divine thunder unleashed upon descent was done in accordance with the moment, then this Shangqing Heavenly Thunder was unleashed after storing power, its power incomparable!

The mighty heavenly thunder surged like a flood, rushing toward the Sixth Immortal.

The Sixth Immortal's black mist seemed able to block all things in the world, flowing upstream, aiming not at Ying Tian Xian but at the Kirin Immortal.

His movements were sudden, swift, and precise; Ying Tian Xian and the Kirin Immortal had no time to react.

The Sixth Immortal struck with a thunderous palm, piercing the Kirin Immortal's chest, chest thunderlight bursting forth, exploding violently, the entire immortal body transforming into thunder.

The thunder dispersed and recondensed at a distance into the form of the Kirin Immortal.

The Kirin Immortal transformed into a thunder-body, able to roam freely within the Lei Ting Wang Yang.

Adapting to the environment, survival of the fittest.

"Thunder-body?" The Sixth Immortal did not immediately go after Ying Tian Xian because Ying Tian Xian had descended in a thunder-body, making her troublesome to deal with; I did not expect the Kirin Immortal to react so quickly, also adapting to the environment and becoming a thunder-body.

But it was merely a bit troublesome.

"Taiqing Heavenly Thunder!"

"Yuqing Heavenly Thunder!"

Ying Tian Xian frantically activated the Ying Jie Dao Fruit, forcing herself to produce the Three Qings Heavenly Thunder in the shortest time.

The Three Qings Heavenly Thunder slays immortals and destroys demons, suppresses Qian Kun, its power so great that after release, even Ying Tian Xian herself could not freely control it; in ancient times, only the Immortal Maiden could withstand this move.

The Shangqing Heavenly Thunder transformed into a thunder flood, the Taiqing Heavenly Thunder into axe-halberd swords and myriad immortal soldiers, the Yuqing Heavenly Thunder into six-sided shields, forming a cube, enclosing the Sixth Immortal, Shangqing Heavenly Thunder, and Taiqing Heavenly Thunder within.

The cube blazed blindingly, releasing pure immortal light; Lu Yang merely lifted his head and glanced once, his eyes bleeding, instantly blinded, his eyes ruined—for he was now equivalent to a half-immortal, yet could not even glance at it, unimaginable the power of the Three Qings Heavenly Thunder the Sixth Immortal faced head-on.

Lu Yang used the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit to heal his eyes, trying to stay as far from the battlefield as possible.

He knew that relying solely on the Three Qings Heavenly Thunder could not defeat the Sixth Immortal; if this move were effective, the four immortals and the behind-the-scenes mastermind would have already decided victory or defeat in ancient times.

As expected, only hearing a boom, the Sixth Immortal unknown what means he employed, or perhaps relying purely on strength, blasted open a gap in the cube formed by the Yuqing Heavenly Thunder, the black mist irregularly twisting—this had never happened before, obviously the Three Qings Heavenly Thunder had affected him.

At the moment the Sixth Immortal blasted open the gap, the Kirin Immortal, aided by thunder power, accelerated, even the Speed Dao Fruit unable to reach such divine speed; his entire body transformed into a thunder-body, only his horns remaining as before.

The horns struck the Sixth Immortal's black mist, like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to advance even a fraction.

Ying Tian Xian raised her axe and chopped toward the back of the Sixth Immortal's head!

This was made from materials in the Kirin Immortal's storage ring, hastily refined into an immortal artifact, usable only once due to time constraints.

One use is enough!

The Sixth Immortal raised his hand, pinched the axe head, and crushed it with force!

"Not bad—compared to the battles in ancient times, there is some coordination now."

Before fighting the behind-the-scenes mastermind in ancient times, the four immortals mainly exchanged blows, with no experience in joint combat; after establishing the Xin Fire Dynasty, they diligently studied their own traits, considering how to fight together to unleash maximum combat power.

The Sixth Immortal spat out several immortal fires; when the immortal fires touched the two immortals' thunder-bodies, they instantly exploded, shattering their bodies.

Thunder and fire are the most explosive things in the world; their contact naturally causes explosion.

When the two tried to recondense their thunder-bodies, the immortal fires continued seeking them, exploding again.

Though this level of explosion could not harm their origins, it could prevent them from doing anything, exhausting them in recondensing thunder-bodies.

"If you are willing to hand over the embryonic form of the Reincarnation Dao Fruit to me, and swear not to be my enemy again, I can let you go."

The Sixth Immortal said slowly, in a negotiating tone: "After all, I am not a slaughter-loving person; as long as you do not block my path, what difference does your life or death make?"

The two burned with anger; the Sixth Immortal completely disregarded them.

Even through the black mist, one could still see the Sixth Immortal shaking his head, seemingly unable to understand their behavior: "Moreover, why must you risk your lives for others?"

If it were said that in ancient times the four immortals were unaware of his strength and fighting him was understandable, but after experiencing the ancient battle, recognizing the strength gap, they still dared to recklessly challenge themselves.

The Kirin Immortal roared, no longer maintaining the thunder-body, returning to his original form; these immortal fires were modest in power, merely threatening to thunder-bodies, easily blocked with an immortal body.

Ying Tian Xian then used a few pieces of immortal gold from the Kirin Immortal's storage ring, hastily refined into several armor plates to protect the surroundings, blocking the immortal fires.

Neither answered the Sixth Immortal's question; his philosophy differed utterly from theirs, and even if they answered, what could it change? Could it make the Sixth Immortal agree with their views?

"It is you who seek death."

The Sixth Immortal spoke in a flat tone, deciding their lives and deaths, instantly moving before the Kirin Immortal; the Kirin Immortal's pupils contracted sharply—the Sixth Immortal's speed was greater than before!

The Sixth Immortal seized the Kirin Immortal's throat, struck straight at the face, the Kirin Immortal's skull exploding like a watermelon!

The Kirin Immortal's skull slowly regrew; Ying Tian Xian activated the Ying Jie Dao Fruit, summoning sweet dew from heaven; the Sixth Immortal lifted the Kirin Immortal and smashed the auspicious clouds formed by the sweet dew.

Seeing the Sixth Immortal rush toward her, Ying Tian Xian hastily activated the Thirty-Three Heavens Tribulation to intercept; the Sixth Immortal placed the Kirin Immortal in front, blocking all tribulations, and with his other hand seized Ying Tian Xian's neck.

"Did you think having a thunder-body means I cannot touch you?"

Clearly a thunder-body, yet Ying Tian Xian felt the suffocation of a mortal drowning.

What method is this?!

Suddenly, ice and snow spread across millions of li, in an instant covering the entire Zhongshan Commandery, extreme cold as if freezing time itself; frost grew on Lu Yang's body surface, requiring all his strength to break free!

Ying Tian Xian, seeing this, immediately activated the Ying Jie Dao Fruit again, summoning tribulation; heavenly thunder rolled, mixed with endless immortal fire; this time the immortal fire did not explode with the heavenly thunder, but rather harmoniously fused with it.

Heavenly thunder stirred earth fire, like a primordial great tribulation, power unmatched, more terrifying than the Three Qings Tribulation; even the black mist showed signs of dissipating thread by thread, forcing the Sixth Immortal to temporarily release the Kirin Immortal and Ying Tian Xian.

Immortal fire and profound ice accompanied the descent of the Ninefold Immortal, gritting teeth and staring at the Sixth Immortal.

Originally he was discussing the Dao at the Wuxing Sect with Tian Kui Mr., sensing a disturbance in the west, suspecting an immortal battle had erupted, such that even from this distance he could feel it.

So he followed the wave toward Huangzhou, flying halfway when the wave vanished—likely the celestial battle had ended—and out of curiosity, he continued flying toward Huangzhou.

As he neared Huangzhou, he felt even more intense waves arriving, the combat intensity far surpassing the earlier celestial battle.

Upon reaching Zhongshan Commandery, he saw the Sixth Celestial simultaneously restraining the Qilin Celestial and Ying Tian Celestial; without time to think, he acted, unleashing the Extreme Cold Domain to slow time's flow, and heavenly celestial fire rained down upon the Sixth Celestial.

But relying solely on celestial fire posed no threat to the Sixth Celestial.

Ying Tian Celestial immediately grasped Immortal Jiu Chong's meaning, coordinating with heavenly thunder, which led to the current situation.

"Sixth Celestial..."

Immortal Jiu Chong's furious roar, filled with rage, had not yet escaped his lips when he saw the Sixth Celestial form hand seals—ninety-nine mountains erupted from the earth, surged toward Immortal Jiu Chong, and hammered him deep into the mountains, with continuous collapses until the final mountain struck, at which point it ceased.
