Chapter 307 - One Of The… Ultimate Trump Cards
After hearing the warning from the Black Yellow Tower, Li Changshou’s heart tensed up. His immortal senses captured a hint of disturbance in the universe...
The universe referred to the two opposing sides of heaven and earth or Yin and Yang. The Primordial World referred to space.
On the surface of the sea, it was invisible!
It was as if a blade was rapidly approaching the four of them!
“Be careful!”
Li Changshou shouted loudly. The four figures on the cloud rushed forward. In three days, they would use the Wind Escape technique at the same time. Their figures turned into three wisps of smoke and disappeared.
Li Changshou turned around and took the initiative to attack Jin Chanzi.
He put away his horsetail whisk and a thin blade covered in golden light strangely appeared in front of Li Changshou. It dragged out a thin golden line and slashed at Li Changshou’s neck!
In front of the blade, ripples appeared in the universe. They looked like ripples in the water, and they actually looked beautiful.
They were ripples of slaughter.
Things were different now. How could Li Changshou sit still and wait for death?
Unknowingly, a blue pearl appeared in his left hand. The pearl flickered slightly, and Li Changshou’s body turned into a ball of seawater!
The golden thin blade passed through the water without any resistance...
After the thin blade slashed across, the two streams of water merged again and transformed into the white-robed old immortal. He was completely unharmed.
Li Changshou looked up into the distance and smiled.
The pearl in his hand was one of the Five-Element Pearls that Daoist Duobao had given him.
At that moment, the three Heavenly Generals were gone.
On the surface of the ocean 50 kilometers away, Jin Chanzi stood with his hands behind his back. He pursed his lips and said in a sarcastic tone, “If you want to look for me, why go to the spiritual mountain? Why, is the Sea God willing to talk to me this time?”
A numinous treasure sword appeared in Li Changshou’s right hand. He held the Water Spirit Pearl in his left hand and said calmly, “Golden Cicada, I came to look for you today because I wanted to find the dignity that you had left behind previously. Since you attacked me previously, don’t blame me for being ruthless today!”
Jin Chanzi’s long and narrow eyes were filled with smiles as he said leisurely, “Sea God, did you and the three Heavenly Generals come here because you thought that I was stupid and could not guess that the three Heavenly Generals were your incarnations? Are you rushing to the front to set up an ambush? Tsk, I thought that you were smart and scheming, Sea God. I thought that you and I are the same. I never thought that today, I would expose your low cultivation level and you don’t know how to do it. You only have some tricks up your sleeves.”
Li Changshou said, “You talk too much.”
Jin Chanzi paused. The fire in his eyes burned even brighter as killing intent surged.
Li Changshou took a deep breath and the immortal power around him began to surge. The ocean beneath his feet surged with dense water spiritual energy and poured it into the pearl in his left hand.
It seemed that they were about to fight head-on!
At that moment, on the shore 15,000 kilometers east, the three Heavenly Generals had just arrived. They quickly set up a huge array formation.
It was exactly as Jin Chanzi had said.
The mockery in Jin Chanzi’s eyes became more intense. Six thin golden wings slowly appeared on his back. His body was enveloped by a faint golden light, and he looked indescribably holy.
Li Changshou’s heart did not waver. He even wanted to laugh.
Jin Chanzi slowly raised his right hand. The thin wings on his back spread open, and hundreds of light spots appeared on it. Within the light spots, thin blades slowly condensed... “Sea God, I’ll accept your four incarnations today!” Before he could finish his sentence, Jin Chanzi waved his right hand in front of him weakly. Light wings spread out, and hundreds of thin blades broke through the universe. With an ear-piercing whistle, they slashed at Li Changshou!
At that moment, Li Changshou had raised his immortal power to a certain critical point. He faced the golden light that filled the sky and looked at the thin blades that strangely appeared in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched.
The Five Elements rotated and combined into one!
The water flowed on its own, and he could not sense it!
Water...
At that moment, the spiritual will of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda reached Li Changshou’s essence soul and projected a calm sentence. “Don’t worry, little fellow. Even if it’s just an incarnation, I’ll give it to you...” Before the spiritual will of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda could be fully transmitted, a small cloth bag on Li Changshou’s sleeve was about to emit a faint light!
However, “Li Changshou” swayed slightly and turned into a ball of clear water before exploding!
At such a moment, he, of course, had to use Water Escape!
Hundreds of thin blades slashed in all directions, and crisscrossing gullies appeared on the surface of the sea. The universe was in turmoil, and spiritual energy surged. In the blink of an eye, the weather changed.
Li Changshou’s figure appeared thousands of kilometers away. He laughed loudly and turned around to rush towards the array formation that the three Heavenly Generals were setting up!
Although he was escaping, he felt a sense of heroism.
“Golden Cicada, do you dare to chase after
me!?!”
“Sea God!”
Jin Chanzi gritted his teeth and shouted angrily. The six golden cicada wings on his back trembled slightly. His figure disappeared from the surface of the sea, leaving only a few ear-piercing sounds of the wind whistling. Jin Chanzi’s angry roar could be heard from 5,000 kilometers away. “Do you really think you can escape!?!” Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. The paper effigy’s immortal power erupted and perfectly concealed the fluctuations in his sleeve. His body, which had merged with the seawater, suddenly sped up! The shouting formed by Jin Chanzi’s immortal power gradually faded away!
So fast?
Jin Chanzi, who was chasing at the back, was also stunned. Then, he became even angrier. The six cicada wings on his back began to move rhythmically. Every time the cicada wings moved, his figure would flash forward once, leaving behind a ring of smoke-like ripples. However, Jin Chanzi was shocked to discover that although he could catch up to the Sea God, he was 5,000 kilometers away! The escape technique of the Sea God... Could it be that there was the power of the Heavenly Dao in the ocean?
Jin Chanzi was right this time...
He was half-correct.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s immortal power fluctuations were only acting as a cover. The true one who used the Water Escape was actually the main body hiding in the paper effigy’s sleeve. This was the first time that Li Changshou had unleashed his immortal power with all his might and used his most prized mystical ability -Water Escape technique!
In the blink of an eye, the normal scenery was almost distorted.
He obtained the Water Essence Pearl’s enhancement.
He was wrapped in the divine power of the Sea God.
After he transcended the Golden Immortal Tribulation, he had been continuously studying and improving the Water Escape technique...
At that moment, Li Changshou felt as if there was a little person shouting in his heart.
As long as I escape fast enough, it’s impossible for any mystical abilities to hit me!
Li Changshou had already expected what would happen at that moment when he first came up with that plan. The ambush location was the location that he had deduced after making calculations in his heart. He had also considered the possibility that Jin Chanzi had hidden some of his cultivation...
Everything was developing in the direction that Li Changshou had deduced. However, at the bottom of his heart...
He was being attacked by a certain pagoda master.
“Why are you running? Just hit him!”
“Little kid, why are you so familiar with running? If you have the ability, why can’t you fight him later?”
“I’m the Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth. I’m invulnerable to all Dharma, and I can’t be destroyed unless I’m a killing treasure. It’s really... awkward for you to run like this...”
Li Changshou could only smile and repeatedly apologize.
He begged again and again that if the attack did not land on his main body, he would ask the Mysterious Yellow Tower not to appear.
Fortunately, he had unleashed his full speed and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Li Changshou plunged into the array formation set up by the three Heavenly Generals and turned around. In the sky, the golden ray of light that was shooting over stopped thousands of feet away. Jin Chanzi spread his thin golden wings and looked at Li Changshou with a smile. He was about to mock him.
Li Changshou smiled and beat him to it.
“I’m good at teleportation and have extreme speed. I’m afraid it will be troublesome if you want to keep me here.”
Jin Chanzi’s face turned pale.
That was what he had said to Li Changshou previously on the dragon race’s immortal ship
At that moment, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
“I didn’t expect the Sea God to have such abilities,” Jin Chanzi said calmly. “You are indeed the righteous god of the sea. You actually managed to deduce the Water Escape technique to such an extent.”
Li Changshou swung his sword and said, “Jin Chanzi, do you dare to enter the array?”
“Hahaha! Why wouldn’t I dare?”
Jin Chanzi laughed loudly, but his feet did not move at all. He grabbed the spot in front of him with his left hand, and a purple arrow appeared in front of him.
Jin Chanzi flicked his finger at the purple arrow. The arrow pierced through the air and rushed to the array formation that Li Changshou had set up. It exploded! Wisps of purple and red auras entered the array formation. The spiritual energy in the array formation immediately lost balance, and the small half of the array foundation used to set up the array formation exploded! The array dissipated, revealing the three hidden Heavenly Generals which were actually paper effigies.
Li Changshou’s expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. The three Heavenly General paper effigies looked a little stunned.
Jin Chanzi took in all the details and smiled.
“I can tell that the array formation you set up is quite ingenious, Sea God. Unfortunately, your realm is still a little lacking. You don’t understand the true profoundness of the array formation.”
Li Changshou said calmly, “In that case, I’ll take my leave today.”
“Sea God, why don’t you look around?”
Jin Chanzi said calmly. Li Changshou looked over and saw six golden cicada wings!
The world suddenly darkened. The six cicada wings trembled extremely quickly. Ripples spread out and covered a radius of 50 kilometers in the blink of an eye!
The waves froze and the wind stopped blowing. It was as if the pause button had been pressed.
That was the Great Cosmic Technique, the mystical ability that Jin Chanzi was proud of. Its name was unknown.G
Daoist Wen Jing had explained it in detail before. On the surface of the ocean in the distance, Jin Chanzi was leisurely and even showed Li Changshou the secret of this place.
Jin Chanzi revealed his true form. It was a winged golden cicada that had its back facing Li Changshou. The golden cicada was not ugly. In fact, it had a certain charm of the Great Dao that gave it a sense of beauty. The six thin wings that it had on its back when it was in human form, were actually six cicada legs!
Jin Chanzi’s main body returned to human form in a flash. The complacency in his eyes intensified.
In the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed. He had completely grasped the initiative and control over the situation in this place.
Li Changshou sighed softly, his eyes filled with indignation. Jin Chanzi did not say anything else. He waved his hands and grabbed the two short knives.
va
Behind Li Changshou, the three Heavenly Generals quickly gathered around him and linked their auras.
Jin Chanzi’s figure flashed and he swooped down!
The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly. He seemed to have accepted his fate. The immortal powers in the four paper effigies began to surge wildly...
Does he want to self-destruct his incarnation?
Jin Chanzi snorted softly and flashed continuously. The six thin wings in the other three directions disappeared at the same time.
In an instant, golden light flashed, and three heads flew up. The three Heavenly Generals’ bodies instantly deflated and turned into paper effigies.
“Hahahaha!”
Jin Chanzi appeared in front of Li Changshou and placed a short blade on his forehead.
“Next time,” Jin Chanzi said calmly. “Come and see me with your real body. I will naturally...”
Jin Chanzi suddenly paused.
It was not that he had discovered something unusual and was interrupted. It was purely because his lips could not move, and his body was suddenly frozen!
How could it be...
Why did the universe suddenly lose its senses!?!
The world turned dark again. However, this time, the pause button was pressed within 500 kilometers!
There was something the Golden Cicada could not see.
A Water-Fire Taiji Painting silently appeared in the sky. The power of water and fire in the world was continuously transformed into Yin and Yang. It stirred the Great Dao and sealed the entire world!
The Water-Fire Origin Array!
The illusory figures of nine stone monuments appeared in the world. As the chanting sounded, black chains appeared out of thin air.
The power of Yin and Yang was attached to the chains. One end extended into the void, while the other end wrapped around various parts of Jin Chanzi’s body. After it completely bound around him, it became invisible!
Nine-Spirit Mystic Energy Array!
That was an array formation set up by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. It was not something that the Golden Cicada could recognize and break.
At that moment, Li Changshou did not say anything. He did not waste any time. He pursed his lips and threw out paper effigies!
The paper effigies did not transform into humans. Instead, they pounced onto Jin Chanzi!
The 72 paper effigies held hands and stood side by side, as if they had put a layer of robe on Jin Chanzi.
Every paper effigy had the strength of a peak-stage Heaven Immortal and a half-step Golden Immortal. It was very similar to the spiritual explosion paper effigies that Li Changshou had tried and failed to self-destruct, when he had yet to comprehend the method to balance immortal power in the Golden Core.
Li Changshou had really spent a lot of money on the 72 paper effigies. He had almost taken out half of the savings of the spiritual trees of Little Qiong Peak!
The ultimate trump card...
Earth Spirit Explosion Array!
That was the strongest attack that Li Changshou could unleash in an instant!
That scene happened in a split second. When Li Changshou’s ‘paper effigy’ tapped the tip of his toes and retreated, he released 72 streams of light with his hands and injected them into the paper effigies!
Then, he forcefully attached his mind to it and balanced the rhythm of the immortal powers in the 72 paper effigies, pushing them to the critical point of the spiritual explosion!
Jin Chanzi watched the scene with his eyes wide open. At that moment, he had just reacted and wanted to break free of the array’s shackles.
However, it was too late.
One breath, two breaths...
The world was dead silent. 72 light spots appeared in the dead silence.
At that moment, Jin Chanzi suddenly understood.
They were all schemes!
The Sea God went to the Dragon Palace to lure him out!
historical
First, he showed weakness to him. Then, he suddenly revealed an escape technique that made him want to fight!
The Sea God had even predicted that he would rush forward and personally destroyed his incarnation...
That’s right. The Sea God had set up a powerful trapping array formation here in advance. However, he had deliberately set up a layer of array formation in front of Jin Chanzi and asked him to destroy the outer layer of the array formation so that the latter would think that he had control of the entire situation.
In fact, the real trap was hidden under the trap!
It was both real and fake!
Jin Chanzi looked at the Sea God’s retreating figure and suddenly felt fear in his heart.
No, that was not the most terrifying thing.
That human had only come into contact with him a few times, but he had already grasped the weakness of his personality!
Sea God!
Jin Chanzi was shouting in his heart. His gaze showed that he was begging for mercy!
However, just as Jin Chanzi was thinking about that, the 72 paper effigies that were wrapped around him had already completed their activation!
Their originally calm and abundant immortal powers suddenly went to the extreme. The layers of talismans engraved on the 72 paper effigies were also catalyzing and accelerating the immortal power’s turmoil!
The Heavenly Dao did not allow it, so it could not exist!
Those 72 paper effigies!
Those 72 paper effigies contained Li Changshou’s immortal power!
The 72 of them had immortal powers that were comparable to the early-stage Golden Immortal realm. At that moment, they were like 72 Golden Immortals who had just cultivated and had gathered into a group of paper effigies that had self-destructed!
They were ignited at the same time!
Li Changshou instantly retracted his thoughts. His main body seemed to have collapsed. The paper effigy that was controlling the paper effigy that was in the form of an old immortal turned around and fled!
Behind him, it was as if 72 sun stars were rising into the sky!
As soon as the violent spiritual energy surged, it tore the universe into layers of wrinkles...
The world was trembling, and the array formation was shaking!
Li Changshou had only escaped a thousand feet when Jin Chanzi’s body was engulfed by the light. The Golden Cicada was roaring silently, but it was torn to pieces by the powerful spiritual energy in the blink of an eye! On the West Ocean Coast, a huge beam of light soared into the sky!
The light beam split into dozens, hundreds, and quickly turned into an incomparably huge ball of light, illuminating the day and earth...
Great Spirit Explosion!
Earth Spirit Explosion Array!
The Great Daoist Master, who had been hiding in the sky, frowned and looked at the scene below. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless.
The spiritual explosion lasted for a few breaths. All the spiritual energy surged out in the shortest time possible.
The spiritual energy within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers was in chaos. A gust of wind blew up the seawater within 500 kilometers, exposing the bottom of the shallow sea. Countless seafood were turned into ashes. The deserted island disappeared and turned into a deep pit that was 50 kilometers in diameter. With the ground as the center, rifts extended thousands of kilometers across the ground.
The earth trembled continuously.
Just as a huge “tsunami” in the West Ocean was about to be launched in the opposite direction, a wave of divine power descended. The seawater quickly flowed back, reducing the number of casualties in the sea to the lowest.
In those few breaths, only the Xuanhuang Pagoda in Li Changshou’s body could see Li Changshou’s main body hiding in the darkness. He lowered his head and carved something on the bamboo slip...
There was still room for improvement in the immortal power conversion rate.
The 72 paper effigies were not the true limit. As the power of his essence soul became stronger, it was possible to increase it to the 108th rank.
The conditions to activate it were too harsh. He had to have a powerful array formation to assist him or catch him off guard.
I can choose the second plan. I can hang the Earth Spirit Explosion Array on the paper effigy and activate it when you approach a powerful enemy...
The Exquisite Heaven And Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was speechless. Without stopping, Li Changshou diverted his attention and rode the paper effigy back from thousands of kilometers away. He quickly rushed to where Jin Chanzi was.
There was a ball of golden light there...
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and sighed in his heart.
As expected of a Primordial Beast. He could not even kill it!
At that moment, Li Changshou understood that he probably could not kill Jin Chanzi this time.
From afar, Li Changshou could see that the golden light was a Golden Cicada larva. It had yet to grow wings. Li Changshou carefully sensed the mysterious Dao runes contained in the golden light.
The cicada is returning to its shell?
That should be one of Jin Chanzi’s intrinsic mystical abilities. He can hide his dying body in his old shedding, give up most of his cultivation level, memories, and return to the state before he became an expert.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada could only use such a mystical ability once in its life. That was because there was only one old shedding technique that could save his life.
There was no such thing as miscalculation. The ultimate mystical ability of the ferocious Primordial Beast was naturally unknown.
Previously, Li Changshou had calculated many possibilities of escape. However, he did not expect that the other party would return to his shell to save his life.
That was the problem of having too little knowledge.
Li Changshou still had the mentality of giving it a try. He opened his sleeve, and paper effigies appeared... “Stop. This spirit is fated with the Western Sect.”
A sigh and a voice came from the clouds. An obscure Dao rune slowly spread out from the world and wrapped around the Golden Cicada’s skin.
Li Changshou suddenly shivered. He abandoned all the paper effigies that he had scattered. The old immortal paper effigy was instantly engulfed by the flames and turned into ashes!
At that moment, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s figure appeared at the spot where Li Changshou was originally standing. His sleeve fluttered and ashes entered the Great Daoist Master’s sleeve.
They had arrived!
In the sky, white clouds scattered and the sky was filled with rays of light. An old Daoist priest in a tattered Daoist robe sat cross-legged on the clouds. His true face was hidden in the chaos, and his sharp gaze swept below.
The Great Daoist Master smiled calmly and bowed to the cloud.
“Greetings, Saint.”
Li Changshou muttered, “Great Daoist Master, if you attack now, the golden cicada will definitely die.”
The Great Daoist Master’s mouth twitched a few times, but he did not reply.
On the other hand, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda sighed in Li Changshou’s heart.
“Only now do we understand that you are the one who is the most ruthless in the Ren School... Are you really only 300 years old?”
