Chapter 444: Chapter 444

In just half an hour, the entire Shangjing Sect family, apart from Li Chengxu whose face was almost twisted beyond recognition and having exhausted all his True Qi, had no one left who could stand.

This Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill has an extremely powerful advantage whether against individuals or groups. The six arms can shatter mountains and cut rivers. Under this unimaginable physique strength, there’s no need for the conditions that perfectly integrate spirit and reality, idealism and materialism, to fully unleash the Magical Techniques.

These Qi Refiners were merely fallback options under the dwindling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism.

The whole Jade Capital Mountain was a river of blood. The continuous palaces and houses had become ruins and rubble. Of the entire Immortal Mountain, only Li Chengxu, standing on the ground, seemed completely stunned, nearly mad.

Lu Ren appeared very calm about this, with a sense of leisurely relief hidden within. He looked at Li Chengxu.

"Sect Leader, logically Shangjing Sect should have some foundation, right? How are you now just a lonely one-man band holding on?"

Reasonably speaking, even in the present world, when Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism was absent, many cultivators struggled to keep themselves alive. They would sit there doing nothing, let their bodily functions fall to the lowest limit, maintaining only the most basic vitality, trying to delay as much as possible.

After Supreme Enlightenment, being able to perfectly control one’s own body can allow one’s vitality to delay to the extreme. If entering slumber, just like Kong Qiu, one could sleep for three to four thousand years before one’s lifespan and vitality completely dissipate.

Therefore, with Shangjing Sect claiming to be a Sacred Land, it’s impossible that there is only Li Chengxu as the sole presence in Seeking Truth Realm.

But what puzzled Lu Ren was that those considered to be foundational elders, seemingly at death’s door, had not reacted despite Lu Ren nearly overturning Jade Capital Mountain.

Li Chengxu didn’t respond to Lu Ren’s words. Upon hearing him, the corners of his eyes cracked and bled, his voice hoarse and anguished.

In a roar, Li Chengxu rushed towards Lu Ren with his longsword drawn. Midway, he formed a sword technique hand seal, a beam of Clear Light burst from his head, shooting into the sky and enveloping the floating Small Bronze Cauldron.

The small cauldron quivered slightly, a beam of light seemed to ripple from its opening, wrapping around Li Chengxu.

However, forcefully invoking the Small Bronze Cauldron for its yet unrecovered power carried a terrifying cost. Li Chengxu’s visage visibly aged, his previously grey hair turned white, and his face was covered with wrinkles.

The strange longsword in his hand vibrated slightly. Li Chengxu released the longsword, and as it hummed and sped rapidly, it multiplied into countless longswords.

One became two, two became four, four became eight...

Until finally, Li Chengxu was encased in ten thousand swords. The Clear Light sword gleams shot into the skies, their sound like a bird, hurtling forward.

Lu Ren’s alarm bells were ringing, not daring to be careless. He spread his six arms, each making a Dharma Seal.

The Six-Character Great Brightness Mantra, akin to the Taoist Nine-Word Secret, reaches the ultimate mysteries of the world in the Buddhist Sect. If comprehended fully, it points directly to the core secrets of Heaven and Earth.

Boundless Great Brightness illuminated around him, revealing reality, innumerable Sanskrit and Buddhist chants resounded, as if for that moment, Lu Ren stood in Buddha Country, confronting this great domain.

Forcingly among this domain field, he carved out his own territory.

Lu Ren thrust a palm out, golden glimmers around him gathered swiftly, forming a Buddha Palm, accompanied by Karmic Fire, with an enraged Immovable Ming King.

The intricacies within couldn’t be fully explained even in three days and nights, the True Intent they held was overwhelming.

The Buddha Palm, formed by the golden glimmers, was as detailed as a human hand, instantly colliding with the torrent of flying swords.

In an instant, the longswords were broken by an overwhelming force, countless broken swords flew backward, their remnants spinning, even as the Buddha Palm carried peculiar light, the terrifying force gathered swiftly to a point, even vibrating the space.

Like tidal waves, the concentrated Buddha Light surged towards Li Chengxu overwhelmingly like petroleum.

Li Chengxu looked up at all this, a thought involuntarily arising in his mind.

This guy, does the True Qi, no, the True Essence in his body come for free?

In the next second, countless Buddha Lights engulfed him, surrounding him as the Buddha Palm descended into this golden oily ocean.

Like a lake, the golden oil within rippled in waves, truly resembling a substantial lake, appearing extremely grand.

When Lu Ren ceased his momentum, he glanced upwards at the still-floating Small Bronze Cauldron. The beam of Clear Light descending from it still persisted under his senses, not dissolved.

After the golden lake dispersed, where Li Chengxu had stood became a basin-like deep hole, its area at least three thousand square meters.

Lu Ren walked to the edge of the deep hole, looking at Li Chengxu lying at the bottom, his body emitting smoke, his previously luxurious purple Taoist Robe, and Half Moon Wheel greatly tattered and ragged, appearing extremely miserable.

Li Chengxu gasped for breath, just now, just now he almost died. If it weren’t for the wisp of Clear Light from the Small Bronze Cauldron protecting him, he would have been completely absorbed by the golden Buddha Light.

Looking at Lu Ren standing by the edge, Li Chengxu’s expression was one of shock and astonishment. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFɪre.net

"You... have become a True Immortal?!"

Only a True Immortal possesses True Essence, a form of energy far beyond True Qi quality, reaching a dimensionally transformative level, possessing incredibly unimaginable capabilities.

Lu Ren slowly responded, his figure gradually floating to Li Chengxu’s side, he looked up at the Small Bronze Cauldron.

"Is this the True Immortal treasure of your Shangjing Sect?"

Li Chengxu displayed mockery: "If you want it, then kneel, pray to it, plead for it to respond. Maybe you’ll have a slim chance to drive it."

Lu Ren’s face bore a mocking expression, yet he didn’t argue with Li Chengxu, instead just saying flatly: "If that’s all Shangjing Sect has, then it’s indeed an annihilated clan."

At this, Li Chengxu laughed loudly, the effort triggering his injuries, causing him to cough violently, finally staring red-faced at Lu Ren.

"Demon, one day, one day when the Primordial Celestial Venerable returns, your end will be ugly!"

Lu Ren’s face showed a hint of coldness, then he lifted his head, declaring: "If you see me as a demon, then I shall be a demon."
