Chapter 1250: Law Follows Words Dao Fruit
“It’s been so long. The fight should be over, right?” Based on past experience, the matter should be resolved by now.
Meng Jingzhou secretly opened the exit to the Fengdu City space and poked half his face through, only to be hit by a wave of primeval aura so oppressive it left him struggling to breathe.
When he took in the scene outside, he instinctively drew in a sharp breath.
“Yun Zhi” wore an unusually animated expression. She was locked in battle against a formidable foe, bringing destruction upon heaven and earth. The Qilin Immortal, the Heaven Mandate Immortal, and the Nine-Layers Immortal hovered nearby as spectators, while Lu Yang stood flanked by Jiang Ping’an and the Midheaven Emperor-Lord.
Such a lineup had never been witnessed since ancient times. Immortals were mysterious and elusive, yet they had congregated in one place today.
Even among the spectators, there were five immortals!
I wonder where this formidable foe came from. He can hold his own against Big Senior Sister, while the five spectating immortals can’t even find an opening to intervene.
Meng Jingzhou silently withdrew his head.
“What’s the situation out there?” Man Gu asked urgently.
Meng Jingzhou patted Man Gu on the shoulder with a look of relief and delivered the good news. “The number one immortal battle is unfolding out there. The ruins of Zhongshan Commandery will certainly become a famous historical landmark.”
~~~
Calling this battle the number one immortal battle wasn’t an exaggeration on Meng Jingzhou’s part.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was borrowing Yun Zhi’s body to battle Yao Sheng, resulting in clashes more devastating than anything ever witnessed when the Four Ancient Immortals joined forces against Yao Sheng in the ancient era. If it weren’t for the barrier enclosing their battlefield, the entire cultivation world would have been shrouded by this oppressive pressure.
When the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Hui Doudou had waged war in the sky, they had paid no heed to distance. Their battlefield spanned billions of li, from the Demon Region to the Spiritless Land, a testament to how terrifying battles of this magnitude were.
It was only because Great Xia had accumulated ample national fortune over one hundred thousand years that the barrier erected from it was strong enough to prevent energy from leaking. Had it been some artifact like the Cosmos Cover forged by the Heaven Mandate Immortal, it wouldn’t have achieved this effect.
With the barrier enveloping Zhongshan Commandery, the entirety of this world-shocking immortal battle was compressed within, saturating every inch of this space, causing it to tremble.
Lu Yang noticed ripples constantly spreading across his skin, resonating with space. He couldn’t control it and was forced to vibrate with the surrounding space.
He was not the only one. Whether it was the Heaven Mandate Immortal’s trio in the sky or the two founding emperors on the ground, all experienced the same phenomenon. Jiang Ping’an and the Midheaven Emperor-Lord’s cordial conversation was also interrupted.
Now that his abilities had been exposed, Yao Sheng no longer bothered to hide them, choosing to fight with his full strength.
Law Follows Words was about setting rules!
While battling the Four Ancient Immortals, he had kept reciting “Rules” in his mind, so they had been unable to guess his true ability, only finding him inscrutable.
Since Law Follows Words contained “words,” it implied that speaking aloud was paramount to fully unleash the Dao Fruit’s ability. And with Everlasting putting this much pressure on me, there’s no room to hold anything back!
“You shall lose consciousness.”
The moment those words were spoken, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy lost consciousness. She ceased her assault and remained motionless.
Yao Sheng decisively struck. His fist techniques were equally exquisite. Primal hundun chaos light surged, and unusual phenomena of the ancient era manifested one after another—forebears performing rituals, devils and deities howling, and demon beasts emerging.
This was the unusual phenomenon he was born with.
The primary reason he had spoken to the Qilin Immortal so maliciously was that he believed himself to be the true Heaven’s favored child.
He was born with unusual phenomena and possessed Law Follows Words, whereby his speech could decide life and death and determine the fate of tribes. Everyone in the galaxy he was from worshipped him as a god.
His fist techniques were domineering and peerless, containing boundless power. Yet when his punch landed on the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, it couldn’t harm her in the slightest.
What’s going on? Is the body she borrowed too formidable, or is this one of the abilities of the Everlasting Dao Fruit?
Reality gave Yao Sheng no time to ponder. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s eyes snapped open, shining resplendently.
“To think you managed to trap me in a Heart Devil Tribulation!”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy hadn’t exactly lost consciousness. She had been trapped in a Heart Devil Tribulation, only breaking free after five breaths.
She seized Yao Sheng’s wrist and pummeled him with a barrage of fists that were as swift as heavenly lightning.
“Do you think I fear you?”
Yao Sheng’s black mist was merely one of his many defensive methods. His physical body was terrifyingly powerful as well.
He had reflected repeatedly on why he had fallen to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy in the ancient era. His conclusion was that Law Follows Words had protected him too well, leaving him insufficiently tempered. To remedy this, he had become an ascetic monk, delving into the methods of body tempering, and his physical body had grown incomparably tough.
Their fists collided ceaselessly, the shockwaves slamming into the barrier and sending ripples cascading across its surface, a sight that pained Jiang Ping’an deeply.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was like a blazing inferno, fighting with all her might to incinerate her enemy.
Yao Sheng was as calm and collected as ancient mystic ice, analyzing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s fist technique and calculating his next move.
The immortal battle was ever-changing and unpredictable. In mere breaths, they had exchanged blows hundreds of thousands of times.
Yao Sheng realized that the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s fist technique followed no discernible pattern; he simply couldn’t find any logic behind it. She’s fighting entirely on instinct!
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy didn’t understand Yao Sheng’s fighting style, but neither did Yao Sheng understand hers.
After becoming an immortal, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had rarely fought. Even when she did, it was only to spar with the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the other three immortals. Those exchanges were far too mild to demonstrate her true combat style.
Yao Sheng was the first to falter. A single misjudgment gave the Everlasting Immortal Fairy an opportunity. She drove her fist straight into the opening in Yao Sheng’s defenses.
Yao Sheng calmly commanded, “You cannot harm me.”
Countless pieces of immortal gold materialized out of thin air, forming armor that covered Yao Sheng’s body. The spot the Everlasting Immortal Fairy targeted was reinforced with even more immortal gold.
Boom!
The punch landed precisely on the reinforced part of the immortal gold armor. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy attempted to use the Strike the Ox Through the Mountain strength-channeling technique to hit Yao Sheng even without touching him.
However, the armor was composed of multiple layers of immortal gold stacked together, each with gaps between them. The force simply couldn’t reach Yao Sheng.
Her eyes gleamed as a thought struck her.
The Law Follows Words Dao Fruit doesn’t directly create rules. It fulfills Yao Sheng’s words through other means.
If that’s the case, there’s still a chance to win this fight!
The Midheaven Emperor-Lord watched the battle in a daze. Although the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was borrowing Yun Zhi’s body, and this battle couldn’t directly measure Yun Zhi’s true ability, it still served as a testament to Yun Zhi’s terrifying might. No matter how wantonly the Everlasting Immortal Fairy expended power, her borrowed body remained unscathed. Had it been any other immortal, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand such strain.
Yun Zhi’s power far exceeds my expectations.
And that Everlasting Immortal Fairy is equally terrifying.
The Dao-Seeking Sect has these two presiding over it, yet I had actually entertained the thought of attacking them?!
Was I tired of living?
“Time stops,” Yao Sheng commanded once more.
Time in all of Zhongshan Commandery came to a halt, bringing all things to a standstill, including the rippling barrier, the vibrating and distorted space, the grains of sand suspended in midair, and the varied expressions of onlookers...
Yet the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was completely unaffected!
The Everlasting Dao Fruit was eternal and unchanging, impervious to the passage of time or the erosion of the ages.
