Chapter 1043

But the God of Immortality needed only one glance to sense that this man was no ordinary person—he was like an indestructible, all-conquering divine sword!

"This… your realm of the Sword Dao is quite impressive!"

The God of Immortality was greatly astonished: this old man from the Eastern Seas had actually cultivated his Sword Dao to such a level.

In the God of Immortality's eyes at this moment, this old man's realm of the Sword Dao was truly no inferior to that of Yunzhou Wu Lin's legend, the Unnamed!

"Your praise, God, this old man does not dare accept."

Though he said he dared not accept, this old man from the Eastern Seas gave a grand sweep of his hand.

The Blazing Heaven Flames had already taken advantage of the moment to burn a corner off the mountain peak formed from the Heaven and Earth primordial force.

Then it transformed into a giant hand, snatching Sunren Tianyin over in one grab.

"Ancestor… I…"

Sunren Tianyin, plucked from the jaws of death, reached the old man's side, overwhelmed with emotion, and immediately prepared to bow.

"No need for that. Go down into the Fire Lake and cultivate for a while; your wounds will heal in moments."

The old man from the Eastern Seas pointed at the Heavenly Lake Peak below, signaling Sunren Tianyin to go over.

Sunren Tianyin obediently bowed once, then plunged headfirst into the illusion array of Heavenly Lake Peak and vanished.

"Fire Lake! Tian Xiang Cardamom! You obtained the Tian Xiang Cardamom?

Hand it over to this Venerable!

Don't think that just because your realm of the Sword Dao is decent, if you truly anger this Venerable, killing you would not be difficult either."

Though Sunren Tianyin had been rescued away by the old man from the Eastern Seas, the God of Immortality was not particularly angered.

After all, this old man with a respectable realm of the Sword Dao had respectfully addressed the God of Immortality as God!

That form of address—he had not heard it in a very long time, and had nearly forgotten it.

Hearing it suddenly now, and from such an extreme-path powerhouse no less, addressing him so reverently.

It made the God of Immortality's mood instantly turn somewhat pleased.

It was only upon hearing him mention the Fire Lake that he then thought of the Tian Xiang Cardamom.

His face immediately changed drastically, his entire aura surging violently.

Streams of invisible force descended continuously from the clouds above.

These forces were like a gentle breeze, yet also like drifting clouds.

Like flowing water, and even more like a cold wind.

In short, they were countless and varied, yet blended marvelously into this snowy land as one.

"Eh? Why has this vast snowy mountain suddenly stopped being cold?"

Master Yeyu in the distance sensed the change in the environment at once and could not help turning to Liaofan to ask.

At this moment the snowy mountain still had flying snow filling the sky, bone-chillingly cold.

Yet for some unknown reason, it was no longer cold.

"This old monk also does not know…"

Liaofan gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

The two people confronting each other in the distance were clearly extreme-path powerhouses far beyond what Liaofan had imagined.

From their ability to turn their hands into clouds and overturn them into rain, one could glimpse a thing or two.

Now, though the climate appeared unchanged, in truth a tremendous change had occurred.

Presumably these two extreme-path powerhouses had secretly made their move!

Yet no matter what Liaofan said, he could not see how they had made their move, nor what power they had employed.

The old man from the Eastern Seas was still maintaining the Blazing Heaven Flames, yet he too detected this strange change in Heaven and Earth at the first moment.

Surprise on his face, and even a hint of delight,

"So this is Maha Wuliang—you truly are worthy of being a God!"

Being called God by the old man from the Eastern Seas once more, even though the God of Immortality was preparing to act, his heart was still filled with boundless joy.

The Maha Wuliang he had just laid down naturally was not immediately activated.

Instead, with a look of smug pride, he said arrogantly,

"You old man, you do have an eye for things!

That's right, this is indeed Maha Wuliang—and it is God-grade Maha Wuliang!

If you know what's good for you, hand over the Tian Xiang Cardamom quickly, and this Venerable will not quibble over it with you any further."

In truth, the so-called God-grade Maha Wuliang and Earth-grade Maha Wuliang merely differed in their guiding cultivation methods, with no corresponding high or low, noble or base.

Rather, it was the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen who had once bitterly studied the Origin-grade Maha Wuliang at Yunzhou Shaolin that was the ancestor of all Maha Wuliang.

If one could penetrate the Origin-grade Maha Wuliang, then neither God-grade nor Earth-grade would be an opponent any longer.

The God of Immortality had long lost most of his memories, so he could not recall these things clearly.

But he figured that since the Nine Provinces appraised Wu Gong, divine weapons, treasures, and the like by the six grades of God, Immortal, Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow,

then his self-assumed God-grade Maha Wuliang must be the ultimate might of Maha Wuliang.

He could not help feeling smug and self-satisfied!

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Yet the old man from the Eastern Seas did not obediently hand over the Tian Xiang Cardamom; instead he uttered several sighs of pity.

"Pity about what?"

Because those two cries of "God" from the old man from the Eastern Seas had given the God of Immortality an excellent impression of him.

Hearing him now speak of pity, he could not help but ask.

"A pity that this old man does not have the Tian Xiang Cardamom; otherwise, with that Tian Xiang Cardamom I could lure you into a great fight, a grand battle—would that not be delightful."

The old man from You Dongying was brimming with confidence, smiling as he spoke.

He actually thought he could use the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to lure the God of Immortality into going all out?

"Arrogant!"

The God of Immortality was now thoroughly enraged!

This old fool didn't know death from life, daring to demand that he go all out?

So be it!

Whether or not the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom was in his hands, since this old fool dared to look down on him like this, there was no need to leave him alive!

The God of Immortality's thoughts flashed like lightning; no longer holding back, he directly activated his Divine Maha Wuliang and madly attacked the old man from You Dongying.

This Divine Maha Wuliang was created by the God of Immortality and the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, back in the year they had jointly devised the Heaven-Shifting Divine Art and the World-Destroying Demonic Body.

It was a martial arts technique they had later, by chance, glimpsed a sliver of the power of Maha Wuliang and created — a method nearly on par with a divine ability.

The power of Divine Maha Wuliang could infinitely merge with nature.

Once unleashed, an entire realm would fall under the God of Immortality's control.

Everything within that realm — from the grand, like the primordial forces of heaven and earth, the sun, moon, and stars, to the minute, like the breeze, insects, birds, ants, and droplets of water.

Every single thing would be manipulated by the God of Immortality.

At this moment, enraged by the old man from You Dongying, the God of Immortality directly mobilized everything around him.

Wind, snow, water, fire — all the forces of nature were now under the God of Immortality's control.

Some became swords, some became blades, some became fingers, some became legs…

Forming all manner of strange and unique martial arts moves, they swarmed toward the old man from You Dongying.

"Haha! What a fine Maha Wuliang — this old man can finally fight to his heart's content today!

Old friend, let's go together!"

The old man from You Dongying suddenly drew a sword from his waist, a hint of madness appearing on his face.

Then, pulling out his sword, he abruptly drew in the blazing sky-flaming fire, coating it across his entire blade, and counterattacked the assaults coming from all directions.

This old man from You Dongying, who had declared his challenge to the God of Immortality, truly possessed astonishing skill.

A single sword in his hand seemed like a blazing sun-flower blooming in a field of snow.

His sword moves were not only continuous and unending, but terrifyingly powerful.

Moreover, every strike seemed to come out随手, and not a single one was repeated.

The most terrifying part was that sword moves which clearly had no fixed form, when wielded by him, appeared utterly without weakness.

Even though the God of Immortality had activated only the initial stage of this Divine Maha Wuliang, he had only managed to fight the old man to a draw.
