Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Synthesizing a Superior Immortal Artifact! (3rd Update)
“Why has Mount Shu’s Mountain Protection Array ceased to operate? It looks like I need to hurry up on my end.”
Lu Changsheng noticed that the Zodiac Star Battle Array had come to a sudden halt and knew that something must have happened at the main peak of Mount Shu, so he immediately decided to fuse a superior Immortal Artifact.
Three fragments of a superior Immortal Artifact could perfectly fuse into one complete superior Immortal Artifact.
“I’ve already refined the Nine Revolutions Divine Body and practiced a Golden Bell Shield, even stronger than the Vajra Indestructible Skills. In addition, I have defensive magical treasures such as the Mysterious Yellow Tower and Enlightenment Daoist Robe, so I am not lacking means of defense. To deal with the Demon Lord, what I need is an attack magical treasure, understand?”
After sending Lin Qingzhi away, Lu Changsheng muttered to himself, not caring whether the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator understood or not.
The Demon Lord had the Pan Ni Phoenix Physique and also possessed an ancient cauldron magical treasure that could tear through space. If he couldn’t kill him, letting him escape would only allow him to become stronger, so Lu Changsheng sought to acquire a superior Immortal Artifact of the attack type, which might help him kill the Demon Lord once and for all.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and chose to fuse the superior Immortal Artifact.
[Ding, you have used three superior Immortal Artifact fragments and have successfully fused the superior Immortal Artifact “Demon-Suppressing Sword.”]
Hum!
A resounding sword chant echoed throughout the inner world within Lu Changsheng. Apart from the Treasured Fragment of the Demon Race which remained silent, all other Immortal Artifacts and Innate Spirit Treasures cowered in fear.
The Fierce Swords Silent Annihilation and Blazing Extermination dared not show their ferociousness once the Demon-Suppressing Sword appeared.
Magical treasures such as the Mysterious Fire Mirror, True Dragon Godly Fire Cloak, Golden Crow Divine Furnace, and Yin Yang Flood Dragons Cauldron consciously moved aside, avoiding the edge of the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
The Demon-Suppressing Sword dominantly took over the position of the Dao Palace.
This was an Immortal Sword with a green handle and a silver blade, possessed of powerful spiritual force, making the Qi Sea churn and the Dao Palace tremble.
[Demon-Suppressing Sword, superior Immortal Artifact, attributes of wind and thunder, forged by the Heavenly Emperor using the spirit of a divine spring and melting meteorite iron, endowed with the divine power to intimidate demons and monsters.]
The description of the Demon-Suppressing Sword was brief, but Lu Changsheng could feel the vast spiritual power of the sword.
Even the Lesser Fierce Sword Annihilation and the Mid-grade Fierce Sword Silent Annihilation, both exuding terrifying murderous aura, feared the oppressive might of the Demon-Suppressing Sword and dared not cause trouble, which showed the strength of the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
This was the first Immortal Artifact Lu Changsheng had obtained, and it happened to be an attack magical treasure that could restrain the Demon Race.
“With this, I’ve got some confidence now.”
Having achieved Great Accomplishment in the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills and practiced various martial techniques and sword arts, and now with the superior Immortal Sword, Lu Changsheng was fully capable of battling the Demon Lord.
For security, Lu Changsheng prepared Essence Core pills like the Dragon Blood Returning Yuan Pill, Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, and Heavenly Fragrance Life Renewal Pill—ninth-rank Immortal Pills effective even for Unity Realm powerhouses.
Lu Changsheng also had ninth-rank talismans like the Golden Crow Divine Fire Talisman and the Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talisman, as well as eighth-rank talismans like the Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman and the Divine Thunder Exorcism Charm.
Having prepared various magical treasures, Immortal Pills, and talismans, Lu Changsheng finally broke his seclusion.
On Fire Lotus Peak, Lu Changsheng’s second apprentice, Lu Qinglian, was cultivating Fire Lotus True Qi with the help of the Power of Earth Fire, her hair shimmering with the glow of flames.
In ten years, Lu Qinglian’s Martial King Divine Physique had become even more domineering, and her cultivation of the Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture had progressed at an astonishing speed.
The Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture was a Heaven Rank superior cultivation technique, not far behind the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
“I feel like there is something deep within Fire Lotus Peak.”
Now at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm, and having meditated for a long time on Fire Lotus Peak, Lu Qinglian vaguely sensed that there seemed to be something special in the depths of the mountain’s Earth Fire.
However, with her current level, she was unable to enter the Earth Fire to find out what it was.
Only when Lu Qinglian’s cultivation reached the Void Refinement Realm and her Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture was at Great Perfection, would the Fire Lotus True Qi generated be sufficient to isolate her from the Earth Fire. Coupled with her Martial King Divine Physique, she might be able to explore within the Earth Fire.
“Senior Sister, Master is calling for you to return.”
Mo Huazhi arrived at Fire Lotus Peak.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Upon hearing that Lu Changsheng had come out of seclusion, Lu Qinglian quickly summoned her Flying Sword and headed back to Qingyun Peak with Mo Huazhi.
At Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng officially ended his seclusion, wearing his Enlightenment Daoist Robe and carrying two Longswords, exuding an aura of immortal presence.
With Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills at Great Accomplishment, Lu Changsheng’s Nine Revolutions Divine Body shone with divine light, appearing unfathomable.
Although Lu Changsheng was still at the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm, his combat power was comparable to that of a Unity Realm powerhouse.
“Master!”
Lu Qinglian landed, beckoning with a finger, the longsword slid into its sheath as she excitedly clung to Lu Changsheng’s arm.
Lu Changsheng had been in secluded cultivation for several months, and it was only now that he formally emerged.
“Now is not the time for affection, Mount Shu is in peril, and it’s time for us to take action.”
Lu Changsheng looked towards the direction of Mount Shu’s main peak, where he saw demonic and demonic Qi tumbling.
So, he led several disciples, soared into the sky, and used Sword Flight to head towards the main peak of Mount Shu.
“Woof! Take me with you, woof!”
As the mountain-guarding divine beast, Daoist Earth Hound hurriedly followed.
In the main hall of Mount Shu, the Demon Lord had already made a move.
The ancient cauldron in the Demon Lord’s palm grew to a hundred zhang in size, suppressing everyone from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
The cold ice Sword Qi slashed out by the Fairy Pavilion Master were shattered by the ancient cauldron and broke apart inch by inch.
Su Qian’er, Fairy Duanmu, Xiao Meng’er, Xia Ningxue, and other strong cultivators of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion summoned their magical treasures, trying their best to resist the ancient cauldron.
When the ancient cauldron collided with the dazzling magical treasures, an immense force surged, forcing the members of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion to retreat two or three steps.
Boom!!!
The terrifying impact of the ancient cauldron caused cracks to appear in the main hall of Mount Shu, as well as the surrounding halls, and even in the mountain itself.
“The Demon Lord is actually this formidable.”
Su Qian’er had just entered the Unity Realm and sensed the horror of the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord’s treasure needed the strong cultivators of the entire Inquiry Immortal Pavilion to join forces to contend with it.
“The treasured relic obtained by the Demon Lord is a top-grade immortal artifact; you all must be extremely cautious.”
Situ Kong reminded everyone.
Behind him, an Immortal Sword was unsheathed, its Sword Qi piercing the sky.
This was a mid-grade Immortal Sword.
“Ha!”
Situ Kong, discarding his usual laziness, became one with the sword and slashed out. With no fancy tricks, the strike headed straight for the Demon Lord.
If this strike hit, even a Primordial Spirit would be injured.
“Situ Kong, you are no longer my match, especially while gravely wounded. This strike doesn’t live up to expectations.”
The Demon Lord retrieved the ancient cauldron, shielding himself, and blocked Situ Kong’s strike.
The Sword Qi hit the ancient cauldron but couldn’t break through the cauldron’s protection, leaving the Demon Lord unharmed.
Situ Kong’s expression was grave; he had been sneak attacked by the Supreme Elder of the Immeasurable Temple, who was controlled by the Valley Master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and suffered a heavy injury. His realm temporarily dropped, and he could no longer injure the Demon Lord.
“Mount Shu has fallen, and your Inquiry Immortal Pavilion will not escape this calamity.”
The Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect and the Palace Master of the Summoning Demon Palace joined forces against the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, as powerful figures from the two great Demon Sects gathered.
Loose cultivators from the Demon Race of Huang State, under the leadership of a Demon General, surrounded the three great Orthodox Sects: Mount Shu, the Martial Alliance, and the Immeasurable Temple.
The Valley Master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons chose to target Yu Xuanji of the Hidden Dragon Temple.
“Xia, you won’t escape my grasp.”
Luo Feng, having joined the Summoning Demon Palace, mingled among its members, watching Xia Ningxue among the group from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion with a sinister gaze.
Even though Xia Ningxue’s cultivation had become unreachable, his desire for her only intensified.
The Palace Master of the Summoning Demon Palace noticed Luo Feng’s resentment, “This guy’s resentment is indeed astonishing; he might be suitable as a sacrifice for the Summoning Demon Great Formation…”
