Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Immortal Artifact Suppression! (Tuesday additional release)
“Lu, you actually possess an Immortal Artifact, but when did our Mount Shu have such a thing? Could it be a treasure bestowed to Lu in his dreams by the Ancestral Master?”
Murong Shi was astonished at Lu Changsheng’s final trump card, this Immortal Artifact, which she had never seen before.
“This is indeed an Immortal Artifact.”
“Normally, even a Ninth Layer cultivator of the Dao Palace Realm might not be able to wield the power of an Immortal Artifact, but he is no ordinary Ninth Layer cultivator.”
Zeng Yeqiu, Xiao Meng’er, and other Elders of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion watched in amazement as the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron hovered in the air.
They were the leading figures of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, had seen the Immortal Artifact that protected their sect, and could confirm without a doubt that the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron was an Immortal Artifact.
“No, it’s impossible! Immortal Artifacts are things that only Sect Leaders, Supreme Elders possibly possess!”
Luo Feng was hysterical.
He wanted to see Lu Changsheng torn apart by the Calamity Serpent, yet, in a dire situation, Lu Changsheng managed to summon an Immortal Artifact, and even the Calamity Serpent could not ensure its own safety.
The Demon Sect Elders from the Joyous Union Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons turned pale and powerless in the face of the oppressive might of the Immortal Artifact.
“This is bad, run!”
The Holy Maiden of the Joyous Union Sect, hidden within the Hell Bell, immediately issued a retreat order to the many Elders of her sect as soon as Lu Changsheng summoned the Immortal Artifact.
She was normally no match for Lu Changsheng who was in the same realm, let alone now that Lu Changsheng had summoned an unexpected Immortal Artifact.
“Run!”
Luo Feng realized that at this life-or-death moment, he still cherished his life; only by surviving could there be a chance to kill Lu Changsheng.
“Go!”
Lu Changsheng activated the Immortal Artifact and swept his cold gaze over the Demon Sect Elders frantically fleeing, his target still being the most threatening Calamity Serpent.
As long as he killed the Calamity Serpent in the Void Refinement Realm, the four Great Demon Sects would not dare to act rashly in the Immortal Ruins, and the six major sects joining hands would have an absolute advantage.
The Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron swelled in the wind, bringing with it Immortal Qi as it crashed down, landing on the Calamity Serpent’s head!
Even though the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron was not primarily an offensive magical instrument, it was still an Immortal Artifact with the function to suppress demonic beings.
The Calamity Serpent struggled desperately, hissing up at the sky, trying to resist the descending Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron.
As the Immortal Artifact closed in, blotted out the sky, and the earth sank, forming a depression, the Calamity Serpent grew increasingly restless.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons Elder, witnessing the descending Immortal Artifact, chanted spells and turned into a puff of black smoke, swiftly escaping, even abandoning the Calamity Serpent.
“No!”
A few other Dao Palace Realm Elders from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons were too late to escape and, like the Calamity Serpent, fell within the attack range of the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron.
“Suppress!”
Lu Changsheng bellowed, driving the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron with all his might.
The Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron, like a mountain descending, suppressed the demonic being!
Boom!!!
With a thunderous noise that shook heaven and earth, the ground trembled, shockwaves swept a hundred miles, sand flew, stones raced, and a hundred thousand trees were uprooted.
Murong Shi, Xiao Meng’er, Zhao Wuyan, Lin Qingzhi, and others summoned their magic tools to defend against the aftershocks.
The mere shockwaves generated were this terrifying; it was hard to imagine what the Calamity Serpent caught in the middle was experiencing.
“Phew…”
Lu Changsheng exerted his full strength to activate the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron, his sweat soaking through his clothes.
An Immortal Artifact was indeed not something a common cultivator of the Dao Palace Realm could activate; with his peak Dao Palace Realm cultivation, Lu Changsheng had depleted most of his True Qi after just one usage of the Immortal Artifact.
Lu Changsheng quickly swallowed a Dajuqi Dan to speed up the recovery of his True Qi.
The Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron began to shrink, returning to the palm of Lu Changsheng’s hand.
And below, a massive pit eight hundred zhang in length and one hundred zhang in depth had formed, with the Calamity Serpent and several Elders of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons turned into a pool of blood.
The Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron trembled, generating a whale like suction force, and a black Demon Core flew out from the body of the Calamity Serpent, being absorbed into the cauldron.
The Golden Core of the Calamity Serpent?
Lu Changsheng had not expected the Calamity Serpent’s Demon Core to escape destruction by the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron, instead, it was collected by the cauldron.
This Demon Core from the Void Refinement Realm was incredibly valuable.
The Demon Sect Elders from the Joyous Union Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons scattered and fled, not daring to linger any longer.
They did not know whether Lu Changsheng could activate the Immortal Artifact again.
No one dared to gamble on it.
Without the Calamity Serpent, the Elders from the Joyous Union Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons were not necessarily able to defeat Zeng Yeqiu and Xiao Meng’er, who practiced the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art, not to mention Lu Changsheng from Mount Shu and Murong Shi, two Elders at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm.
“Go!”
Lu Changsheng summoned the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword, and the longsword streaked across the sky, piercing through a fleeing Joyous Union Sect Elder.
“I’m running low on True Qi.”
Lu Changsheng sheathed his sword and retracted the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron into his body.
The power of an Immortal Artifact was indeed tremendous, but such a high- level treasure was not meant for normal Dao Palace Realm cultivators to use, as it consumed too much True Qi.
Lu Changsheng descended from the sky.
“You, what kind of benefits did the Ancestral Master actually give you?”
Zhao Wuyan was both shocked and overjoyed.
Regardless, having escaped from death, Zhao Wuyan felt as though he had gained a second life.
Zhao Wuyan assumed the Immortal Artifact was a reward given to Lu Changsheng in a dream granted by the Ancestral Master, for how could an ordinary Dao Palace Realm cultivator acquire an Immortal Artifact otherwise.
The value of an Immortal Artifact far exceeded that of an Innate Spirit Treasure.
Moreover, no matter how many Innate Spirit Treasures one had, it would be impossible to exchange them for an Immortal Artifact.
Murong Shi’s beautiful eyes sparkled, Lu Changsheng brought her too many surprises on this trip.
Lu Changsheng had various Elixir Pills, as well as eighth-rank Talismans, and in the end, he was even able to produce a lower-grade Immortal Artifact, possessing an astonishing number of life-saving methods.
With Lu Changsheng in possession of the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron, it was as if Mount Shu indirectly gained another Immortal Artifact, thus strengthening the sect’s power even further.
However, the people from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were not so excited.
Their junior brother Luo Feng’s betrayal, several Dao Palace Realm Elders of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion killed by the Calamity Serpent, and Xia Ningxue, the most talented disciple of the Pavilion, had her soul shattered.
The losses suffered by Inquiry Immortal Pavilion this time were too great.
“We must return, unable to give an account to the Pavilion Master.”
Zeng Yeqiu and Xiao Meng’er, along with several Direct Disciples of the Fairy Pavilion Master, had furrowed brows, unable to revive Xia Ningxue and not having avenged the traitor.
“The Hell Bell of the Joyous Union Sect is close to a lower-grade Immortal Artifact, capable of attacking the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, her Three Souls and Seven Spirits have already dispersed, even an eighth-rank Elixir Pill would be powerless to return her to life, leaving her in a perpetual state between life and death.”
Murong Shi checked Xia Ningxue’ s pulse and shook her head.
She was knowledgeable and knew that the high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Hell Bell from the Joyous Union Sect, was no ordinary item, its Spirit Attack was hard to defend against.
“If even an eighth-rank Elixir Pill won’t work…”
Xiao Meng’er’s expression became even more somber.
It’s one thing for the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion to have ninth-rank Elixir Pills, but not all ninth-rank Elixir Pills could revive Xia Ningxue; a specific Immortal Pill with the right effect was needed.
“As long as she’s not dead, we at Inquiry Immortal Pavilion will definitely revive her.”
Zeng Yeqiu clenched his fists tightly.
Xia Ningxue was a peerless genius raised with concentrated resources from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, and at all costs, the Pavilion had to find a way to save her.
“Qingzhi, come with me.”
Lu Changsheng, upon hearing that a ninth-rank Elixir Pill might revive Xia Ningxue, could only hope for the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator’s disciple return feature at this point.
Until now, the highest grade of Elixir Pills returned by the system were eighth- rank, and not many of them.
A ninth-rank Immortal Pill was countless times more precious than an eighthrank Elixir Pill.
Today, there were only three opportunities for rewards, and if one hoped to obtain a ninth-rank Immortal Pill, it entirely depended on luck.
