Chapter 1075 - 1098: Defeating Shangguan Ruhuo in One Move
Xuanyuan Changtian’s heart was extremely depressed at this moment. Without the Xuanyuan Sword, his strength was greatly diminished, and he was no match for the Golden Demon Vulture and Xiaoying. However, the two knew he was Xuanyuan Yueyan’s father, so they dared not use deadly force. But the pain from the blows was still unbearable.
His body was covered in blood at the moment, wanting to die but unable to die, making him want to go crazy. He wanted to self-destruct but didn’t have the courage. For a while, he regretted deeply, never imagining Chu Linfeng would have such strong power.
When Yueyan said that he would definitely regret it in the past, he never thought he would truly regret it now. But it’s too late for regret. Without the Xuanyuan Sword, the Xuanyuan Emperor Palace might be gone too. This feeling of wanting to die but being unable to was driving him insane. Not long after, he was struck down by Xiaoying and couldn’t get up again.
At this moment, Chu Linfeng was also panicked upon seeing the tribulation cloud in the sky. To kill Shangguan Ruhuo, he must use the Divine Slash. Although Divine Slash requires divine power to be executed, his chaotic immortal power was not much weaker than divine power. Then, he unleashed it regardless of everything.
The moment the Divine Slash was unleashed, the world once again changed colors. A world-destroying aura emitted from the top-grade immortal sword in his hand, as if the whole world was about to be annihilated by this strike, causing immense fear.
"Such powerful attack power, what kind of martial skill is this, to have such strong attack power? It’s too terrifying. Even you and I would not be spared under this strike! Is Lin Feng really human? This martial skill shouldn’t appear in the Immortal Realm.
This is the kind of martial skill that only the Divine Realm has, and it’s of a very high grade. Shangguan Ruhuo is definitely doomed this time. It’s unexpected that he has the power to directly slay a late-stage Immortal Emperor expert," said Nangong Ming in surprise.
Under this aura, his face was extremely pale. "Fortunately, we didn’t become enemies with him. Otherwise, it would be a nightmare to deal with him," Qin Xiaojiao said.
And Shangguan Ruhuo, who bore the brunt of the attack, also felt fear, wanting to turn around but unable to because there were two Chu Linfengs attacking him simultaneously. Although the force of the other Chu Linfeng’s attacks was not as strong as this one’s, it still could cause him serious injury or even death.
Facing death from both front and back, he simply rushed directly at Chu Linfeng with gritted teeth. Chu Linfeng’s long sword in his hand directly slashed out a sword aura about a hundred meters long, which then coalesced into a huge long sword phantom. Shangguan Ruhuo was directly disintegrated by the long sword, with no power left to counter.
The sword qi attack spread, and with a thought from Chu Linfeng, the two clones disappeared into his body instantly. Where the sword qi passed, everything within several thousand miles was leveled, including the Profound Celestial Pavilion buildings and some people on the ground were all destroyed.
The dozens of people behind Chu Linfeng were almost scared out of their wits upon seeing the terrifying strike. On the ground, many people can achieve this using martial skills, but it’s different in the sky. Once a certain height is reached, it’s normally impossible to destroy objects on the ground from above.
This is a peculiar phenomenon in the Immortal Realm that nobody can explain clearly, nor could Xiao Xiao understand it. But the destruction power of this strike by Chu Linfeng completely overturned everyone’s imagination. The attack power of this martial skill was beyond the Immortal Realm’s category and should be achievable only by those in the Divine Realm.
However, such attack power appeared in the hands of a young man who should have ascended to the Immortal Realm a hundred years ago. It’s a real shock, as even a late-stage Immortal Emperor expert had no power to counter and was annihilated by this strike—it’s terrifying beyond belief.
No one treated Chu Linfeng as a weakling at this moment. His status had vaguely risen above the six major forces. Even Zuo Gufei felt fear in his heart, lucky that he didn’t become a direct enemy of this abnormal person, or he might have been the one to end in total annihilation.
Chu Linfeng wasn’t feeling well either after executing the Divine Slash. The top-grade immortal artifact in his hand was directly snapped into several pieces. Such powerful energy couldn’t even be withstood by a top-grade immortal sword, showing how mighty it was.
A large portion of Chu Linfeng’s chaotic immortal power seemed to be extracted in an instant, leaving him feeling very weak. Moreover, forcibly unleashing such heaven-defying skills could result in energy backlash. Although he hadn’t fully unleashed the power of Divine Slash, he still utilized nearly half of its might. A mouthful of reverse blood spurted out, making him stagger.
Seeing the effect of the Divine Slash, Chu Linfeng was greatly shocked, as it was far stronger than he anticipated. No wonder the Divine Slash demanded such a high realm, initially thinking it could be unleashed at the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm, but only at the mid-stage Immortal Monarch Realm was it possible, with such extensive cost.
Chu Linfeng introspected about his internal condition, finding that his Dantian’s chaotic immortal liquid had reduced by more than half, requiring at least several days or even dozens of days absorbing immortal stones to restore.
But that’s not the main issue, as now he saw something that puzzled him—a drop of red liquid the size of a broad bean flowing in his Dantian corner, with energy flashing so powerful it was unimaginable.
"Divine Blood?" This was Chu Linfeng’s first thought. Although he didn’t understand how the Lonely Demon Venerable discovered this drop of essence blood back then, the fact that he found it now confirmed the veracity of those words.
Another point was that the Divine Blood only appeared when the chaotic immortal liquid in his Dantian was almost exhausted. Chu Linfeng’s confusion lay in this, as during past Celestial Slash or Star Slash executions, his chaotic dragon power had been depleted many times, but he never discovered this drop of essence blood. But now it appeared, which was undoubtedly strange.
However, he didn’t have much time to dwell on these issues now. After forcibly stabilizing his heart spirit, Chu Linfeng slowly operated the remaining chaotic immortal liquid in his body, feeling gradually much better.
Meanwhile, the tribulation cloud in the sky kept surging, and he had no confidence in resisting the terrifying celestial tribulation. The Immortal Realm’s celestial tribulation equates to the divine tribulation, and having a mid-stage Immortal Monarch transcend the divine tribulation was no doubt a fantasy.
But at this moment, Chu Linfeng had to transcend this divine tribulation, and countless people were sweating from anxiety for him, as nobody knew what the outcome would be, nor dared to help him pass through this lightning tribulation feared by all immortals...
