Chapter 2749 - 559: After Modification
Cao Zhen sensed the female cultivator closely following behind him becoming increasingly anxious. This was in the opponent’s world, and reinforcements could arrive at any moment. If he got surrounded, he would be dead for sure.
However, the other Golden Immortal Realm cultivator of the Three-eyed Tribe had fallen behind.
Now, if he could defeat the female cultivator behind him in a short time, he could escape.
But the problem was that the aura the female cultivator was exuding was incredibly strong.
If it was an ordinary Golden Immortal Realm, he might have tried to defeat her quickly, but this female cultivator...
Not good!
Cao Zhen suddenly widened his eyes, as the scenery around the female cultivator, who was originally at a distance, suddenly changed. She appeared before him as if she had teleported.
At the same time, the female cultivator’s aura slightly weakened.
Secret Technique, this female cultivator used a Secret Technique!
To catch up with him, she didn’t hesitate to bear the backlash from using the Secret Technique.
Is she so confident that she could capture him?
Not even my full strength was shown just now!
The moment the female cultivator appeared, Cao Zhen swiftly transformed back to his human form.
Although he could fight in his roc form, he could never fully unleash his power.
Since she had now fallen before him and used a secret technique, even suffering some backlash, he decided to go all out, seriously injure her first and then escape.
Cao Zhen watched as the attack descended; on the Immortal Mountain behind him, numerous phantasmal Immortal Palaces swelled wildly. In an instant, his aura soared to its zenith.
Human?
Is that her true form?
Opposite Cao Zhen, surprise flashed across the Immortal Lord’s face. Her eyes could see through all things.
Yet during the chase, she hadn’t noticed that the roc was not his true form!
How did this cultivator manage it!
Behind Cao Zhen, numerous Immortal Palaces surged, their gates flung open, and in an instant, terrifying attacks of lightning, frost, flame, and musical rhythm—varieties of spells—converged into a painting, a world, crashing towards the female cultivator opposite.
The instant the strike fell, the Void changed color, the universe shuddered, Heaven and Earth flipped.
At that moment, it seemed as if the entire world might shatter.
The Golden Immortal Realm cultivators who had fallen behind sensed the power of this strike from afar, their eyes widened in shock, their gaze filled with awe.
"This aura is clearly not that of the Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch."
"It’s the attack of that alien cultivator! But he’s just in the True Immortal Realm; how can he unleash such terrifying might!"
"Even if I went all out, I probably couldn’t release such a horrifying strike."
They marveled and accelerated towards the front.
In the distance, the Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch faced a strike as if a calamity descended, raised her slender, fair hands, and drew a circle in front of her.
But a single circle felt like a doorway to reincarnation.
The circle enveloped her entirely; the terrifying forces that fell upon it immediately spun uncontrollably as if entwined by the wheel of time, all energies returning to the moments of their inception and dissipating into the void, becoming nothingness.
Cao Zhen was petrified. He had attacked with all his might this time, yet his attack vanished as if it had never existed.
Even the Three-talents Sword Lord couldn’t block his attack like this, let alone making it disappear entirely.
In surprise, a red gourd flew out around him.
The Immortal Slayer Flying Knife.
The moment the gourd launched, the Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch’s brow furrowed slightly. An odd sensation arose; for a moment, she seemed as if her entire being, especially her soul, was bound by the gourd.
In the blink of an eye, the red gourd suddenly opened, a silver gleam burst forth.
In the gleam lay a gigantic head, with eyes and brows but neither mouth nor nose nor ears.
She immediately felt as though her senses of touch, smell, and hearing had all vanished.
Yet her face remained devoid of panic; she made no moves, but the surrounding space began to spin visibly to the naked eye.
For a moment, she seemed to have fallen into another world.
Almost simultaneously, the Immortal Slayer Flying Knife flew out from the gourd.
But contrary to before, it did not fly straight towards the Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch; instead, it looped and then suddenly returned to the gourd.
This...
Cao Zhen was stunned. It wasn’t the first time he’d used the Immortal Slayer Flying Knife, yet he’d never encountered such an occurrence.
"An impressive treasure," the voice of the Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch arose, "but alas, your treasure to you remains an external tool."
As she spoke, the admiration in her gaze towards Cao Zhen deepened. "I have encountered countless True Immortal Realm cultivators, but you are the strongest of them all I have met. Some even at the Golden Immortal Realm would not be your match.
I have never met a cultivator like you who traversed multiple paths so deeply.
