Chapter 1326: Your Sword, Why Does It Look So Familiar?

Seeing Lu Yang and Wu Yao's duel, Dean Gao finally realized how terrifying Lu Yang was.

I thought Lu Yang's inhuman actions in the Star Alliance were already heaven-defying, but now, a simple collision can alter the course of stars, a few moves can destroy an entire star system—calling it heaven-defying is no longer fitting.

This is only a half-immortal; what would a true immortal above this level look like when they act?

Dean Gao merely imagined a celestial battle briefly, and involuntarily shuddered.

Before, I only heard that cultivators who reach the pinnacle can rewrite cosmic laws, but this claim was too vague and vast for Dean Gao to form a concrete idea.

Only today did he realize how terrifying the Cultivation Realm truly is.

These cultivators actually worry they can't defeat the Candlelight Civilization?

"Merely an embryonic form of the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit." Wu Yao believed that when he replaced the Dao Fruit, he was no weaker than Immortal Jiu Chong. He abandoned replacing the Dao Fruit, attempting to condense a brand-new Dao Fruit. If he still couldn't match Immortal Jiu Chong, it would be nothing short of a joke.

Wu Yao bit his fingertip, drew symbols in the void—each talisman worth a fortune. If a talisman master were fortunate enough to obtain one for study, within three days they would gain new insight into the Way of Talismans.

The talisman suddenly appeared before Lu Yang's eyes, without warning, as if it had traversed space.

The talisman exploded before Lu Yang, ten thousand zhang of purple heavenly thunder descended, striking Lu Yang until his skin split and flesh burst—this was not a single bolt of lightning, but a sheet of lightning, enveloping the entire star!

Cultivators have an innate fear of heavenly thunder; even Body Integration stage cultivators retreated further, doing their best to stay away from the battlefield.

"What kind of lightning is this?"

"Could it be the legendary Heaven-Shaking Immortal Thunder?!"

The Tribulation Transcendence stage elders were extremely shocked—a talisman drawn in midair possessed such power, and Wu Yao was still continuously drawing talismans!

Lu Yang's injuries healed rapidly, without even taking a breath.

Lu Yang understood—just now, Wu Yao used spatial arts to send the talisman to his face, striking him unawares.

Spatial arts are Lu Yang's weakness; responding to them is extremely disadvantageous. He couldn't possibly use "Within Reach, Worlds Apart" to leap off a cliff and flee—Wu Yao wants face, and so does he.

Wu Yao's fingertips continuously produced talismans—hundreds upon hundreds, all different types of lightning talismans. If fully unleashed, their power would not be inferior to Immortal Thunder in the slightest.

Wu Yao employed spatial arts to send all these talismans before Lu Yang, pasting them into a paper wall. If not seen with one's own eyes, no one would believe such precious talismans—Wu Yao could actually produce them as easily as Chinese cabbage.

Among all immortals, he is the only one capable of wielding Immortal Dao Talismans.

"Explode!" Wu Yao gave a soft shout, and hundreds of lightning talismans ignited simultaneously.

Lu Yang possessed the heart to become an immortal, so he did not fear these talismans comparable to Immortal Tribulation Lightning, but he would not stand still foolishly to take the lightning strikes.

As the talismans were about to explode, the observing cultivators' hearts clenched—they had no confidence they could withstand Immortal Tribulation head-on.

Unexpectedly, these half-burned talismans flowed backward in time, restoring to their pristine state.

Wu Yao: "?"

Since he learned talismans, he had never encountered such a situation.

What kind of technique is this? Could it be that the opponent masters a time art he cannot grasp?

Wu Yao enjoys exploring the unknown and pursuing omnipotence, but ultimately lacks the talent for time arts—he has only learned the basics.

He never expected to encounter an opponent proficient in time arts this time.

It's merely knowing a technique he is not skilled in.

Wu Yao's right arm trembled as he gripped a bronze long spear—this was a sliver of immortal gold he ordered the Nine Heavens Legion to scour the universe for, refined into an immortal treasure.

He stepped with an unknown footwork, and in the next moment appeared before Lu Yang, thrusting with his spear!

"It's the Shadow Step!" shouted an elder who understood history, a Tribulation Transcendence stage senior, "This is the absolute art of Emperor Yu Wu Yao—only he knows it!"

"What? He is Emperor Yu Wu Yao?!"

The Tribulation Transcendence stage elder revealed Wu Yao's identity, causing an uproar. They had heard Wu Yao speak fluent Cultivation Realm language and suspected he was a cultivator from the Cultivation Realm.

But none of them imagined that the Heavenly Emperor of the Candlelight Civilization was actually Emperor Yu Wu Yao!

After his identity was exposed, endless questions followed.

Wasn't the Cultivation Realm sealed by the Four Ancient Immortals, with no one able to leave? When did he leave the Cultivation Realm? And how did he leave?

For these questions, Lu Yang and Wu Yao could answer, but they were fully engaged in battle, and neither could spare the thought to explain this issue.

The crowd's gaze toward Lu Yang shifted again—unable to become an immortal, yet he could fight on equal footing with Wu Yao, who had become an immortal and then re-cultivated—what terrifying talent this is!

From ancient times to now, no one has ever heard of such a thing!

Those prodigies who swore to catch up to Lu Yang, or those called "Little Lu Yang," peerless prodigies, fell into despair—Lu Yang is so strong they no longer have the will to pursue him.

Even if one were to call Lu Yang the greatest prodigy of all ages, no one would object.

The history-knowing Tribulation Transcendence stage elder cried out in alarm, worrying for Lu Yang: "Oh no, the Shadow Step can disrupt surrounding space—Lu Yang cannot use spatial arts!"

Just as the bronze long spear was about to pierce Lu Yang, Lu Yang vanished into thin air and suddenly appeared behind Wu Yao, without the slightest spatial fluctuation!

"What?!"

Wu Yao's pupils contracted sharply—how did he do this? This is absolutely not spatial arts, nor even something arts can achieve!

This definitely isn't an embryonic Yin-Yang Dao Fruit!

In fact, Lu Yang used the embryonic Trace-Source Dao Fruit to return to the place he had just been—when he and Wu Yao fought earlier, he had already traversed every position in this starfield!

That is to say, Lu Yang now can appear wherever he wishes!

The long sword swept across the void, sword light piercing the heavens, capable of cleaving stars!

Clang!

Wu Yao, with his rich experience, guessed Lu Yang's intent, shouldered his long spear, and blocked this fatal strike!

Wu Yao's face darkened—he had actually been tricked by a junior not even a fraction of his age: "What you possess is definitely not an embryonic Yin-Yang Dao Fruit—what are you, exactly? Wait—your sword, why does it look so familiar?"

Wu Yao stared blankly at Lu Yang's azure-green sword—this was the immortal sword he had poured his heart and blood into forging, his favorite among many immortal artifacts!

Lu Yang then remembered—the azure-green sword his senior sister gave him was a spoil of war taken from Wu Yao.

"Sword, come!" Wu Yao used his divine sense to call the immortal sword.

But the immortal sword not only had no intention of returning to his side, it even rubbed against Lu Yang.

Lu Yang felt a little embarrassed: "Um, I said because I am a sword spirit root, this sword is naturally close to me—do you believe me?"

"You're lying to a ghost! Do you think I've never seen a sword spirit root before! Give my immortal sword back to me!" Wu Yao flew into a rage, having failed for so long to subdue this junior, he had lost all face, and now even his favorite immortal sword had betrayed him; today, only one of him and Lu Yang could live!

Lu Yang thought for a moment, feeling that using the Qingfeng Sword against Wu Yao was indeed a bit far-fetched, so he had no choice but to put away the Qingfeng Sword and take out the Chengying Sword and the Qixing Sword set.

"Actually, I also know the Extinction Immortal Sword Formation, but I won't use this move against you." Lu Yang rarely showed kindness, after all, the Extinction Immortal Sword Formation was also Wu Yao's possession, so he wouldn't add fuel to the fire.

"I don't need you to let me win! If you have the ability, then use it!" Wu Yao flew into a rage.

The Chengying Sword and the Qixing Sword set formed the Extinction Immortal Sword Formation, enveloping Wu Yao, the powerful force controlling Wu Yao's legs to bend, he knelt down with a thud, his posture quite standard.

A deathly silence.

"This is what you said about not letting you win, isn't it."

"You brat, you're courting death!"
