Chapter 939: Chapter 659: Battle with Yan Ming
In the Sea of Ruins, Lu Chenzhou stopped his hammer practice.
"I wonder how the Dragon King is doing in the Dou Ancestor Cave Mansion."
Yaochi Immortal smiled, "Does the Alliance Hierarch not want to try?"
Lu Chenzhou shook his head, his targets were those two unknown Great Power opportunities in the Desolate Sword Immortal Mansion, and also the [Red Dust Great Snake] of Mountain and Sea Tower.
Getting any one of them was enough for him to advance to Great Power.
Even if not, he had the confidence to advance, it was just a matter of time.
"The Alliance Hierarch breaks through Eighth in a hundred years, the Dragon King would have to call you big brother when he comes out!" Yaochi Immortal sighed.
"Different eras, the Dragon King was a Breakthrough Seven in the End of Dharma era without taking Enlightenment Treasure Medicine, I am merely walking the path others have pioneered." Lu Chenzhou was not being modest, the Dragon King was indeed a freak.
As a Dao Pioneer, the Eternal Immortal stood high and saw far, but had always been unable to see through two people.
One was the Dragon King, the other was him.
Moreover, the path that the Dragon King cultivated was entirely different from everyone else.
It was named Transcendence.
...
On this day.
The Mystic Sky Army shuttled through the Ruins Sea.
"Alliance Hierarch, we are not far from the Flame Bright Great World," the Prince Northern Guardian said with a tense expression.
The upcoming battle was undoubtedly the final battle between the two major forces.
If they could defeat Flame Bright, the other three great worlds of the Divine Alliance would not be a threat.
Lu Chenzhou looked at the tense expressions of the crowd and smiled, "Are you all scared?"
"No, just normal nervousness."
"Afraid of what? Just fight!"
The crowd laughed.
Lu Chenzhou said, "Form the formation, besiege Flame Bright Great World! I will personally deal with Yan Ming Realm Venerable, the Vice Alliance Hierarchs are responsible for restraining other Venerables, this battle is just a probing attack. If the Divine Alliance is just a paper tiger, then we will advance like a hot knife through butter; if the divine beings truly have depths, then we will take a conservative strategy, fight a protracted battle, our potential is stronger, we advance faster, and many potential allies are still watching, dragging it out, victory will eventually belong to us."
"Alright!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
Aurora Palace, Myriad Feather Mountain, Dragons Palace, and the Taixu Divine Ship, a top-grade Spiritual Weapon of the Sea King Royal Family, cut through the Ruins Sea like streams of light.
The four great treasures formed a siege around Flame Bright Great World.
Six Eight Realms aura flew out, overlooking Flame Bright Realm like heavenly gods.
Lu Chenzhou stood before the thousands of troops, a terrifying intention swept across the world like thunder.
"Old Yan Ming, come out and meet your death!"
The intention echoed in the world, spreading over millions of miles of mountains and rivers.
"The Mystic Sky Army has come..."
"They really dare to come to our Flame Bright, they really aren’t afraid of death."
"Hmph, thinking that by defeating a few clone Venerables, they can defeat the real Venerables?"
"The Realm Venerable will teach them a lesson."
Though already defeated many times, under Yan Ming Realm Venerable’s oppressive policy of eliminating dissidents, all the Red Feather Divine Race remaining in the world were fearless and extremely confident that victory belonged to Flame Bright. In their eyes, Yan Ming Realm Venerable was the divine being of the new era, invincible in the universe!
At the center of the world, atop the crimson broken sword, Yan Ming Realm Venerable opened his eyes and said deeply, "Lu Chenzhou, we finally meet. Knowing that I have already advanced to the Third Step, you still dare to come to the main camp of our Divine Alliance, Alliance Hierarch Lu has quite some confidence in his strength."
Lu Chenzhou replied with a smile, "Gale, Xuanshan, Thunder... you three don’t hide, let’s have a frontal battle."
In the surrounding Ruins Sea of Flame Bright Realm, void cracked, Wind and Thunder Power pervaded, a purple wood staff crossed the sea.
On the wood staff, the other three Venerables led their respective armies, their expressions extremely grave.
"Lu Chenzhou, don’t be too arrogant!"
"Today, we will ensure you stay in Flame Bright forever!"
"You don’t know the meaning of the Divine Race stepping into the Third Step, you will regret it."
The three great Venerables were frightened.
Their only reliance was Yan Ming Realm Venerable.
If even Yan Ming could not withstand Lu Chenzhou, then the Divine Race would be doomed.
Yan Ming Realm Venerable stepped up to the high heavens, the giant sword under him continuously shrinking, transforming into a crimson broken sword.
On the back of the sword, mysterious and complex Dao Divine Patterns were engraved, outlining a scene of Bi Fang flying in the sky.
In an instant, the Flame Bright Realm became as blazing as a fixed star, terrifying high temperatures swept the Ruins Sea, twisting the space.
As the darlings of fire, the warriors of the Red Feather Divine Race felt extremely comfortable, as if filled with power, and were even more confident.
"This is the legendary power of the Divine Artifact, too strong, my comprehension of the Fire Law seems to have been elevated by a whole level."
"With the Divine Artifact, what are we afraid of?"
"Indeed, four Divine Artifacts, even if incomplete, can easily suppress these mortals."
"Supreme Treasures are not worth mentioning before the Divine Artifact."
Divine Race, morale soared!
Yan Ming Realm Venerable took a step out to the Outer Boundary.
Lu Chenzhou’s whole body tensed, his momentum ready to erupt.
"Lu Chenzhou, it seems you are still afraid of me."
Yan Ming laughed; this kind of instinctual fear could not be concealed.
Lu Chenzhou’s perception was very keen; the broken sword in Yan Ming’s hand gave him a considerable sense of danger.
Since he advanced to the Undying Realm, this was the second time he appeared.
The last time was when Achilles used the Shadow God Blade with Demigod Power.
"I practiced the Hammer Technique in advance; as long as there’s no direct hit by the Divine Artifact too much, I should be fine."
In Lu Chenzhou’s palm, an ice-blue heavy hammer appeared, its treasure light permeating, freezing the surrounding void.
Yan Ming Realm Venerable squinted slightly: "Is this his confidence? It’s indeed a very powerful Supreme Treasure."
He also had several Supreme Treasures, but they were all incomplete, truly used, only to the eighth rank top-grade Spiritual Weapon level.
"Come on!" Lu Chenzhou gripped the heavy hammer and flashed to Yan Ming Realm Venerable’s back at an extremely fast pace.
Yan Ming Realm Venerable reacted quickly, his body instantly turning into countless flames, dispersing and condensing thousands of miles away. "Divine Skill·Flame Fist!" He raised his right fist, Divine Blood surging, layers of fiery red ripples flowed and stacked, shooting out from his fist, transforming into flaming fists like fire meteors flooding Ruins Sea.
Lu Chenzhou’s figure shuttled through the intense bombardment, swinging the hammer to form ice dragons, blocking the Flame Fist.
The shock waves fell on the Mystic Sky Shield, instantly shattering nine thousand out of ten thousand shields.
"The Third Step, indeed powerful." Lu Chenzhou’s smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His Mystic Sky Shield was already middle-grade Divine Skills, and Yuji Dao was close to seventh rank.
Under normal circumstances, standing there, even ordinary Second Step experts found it hard to break through his defense.
Without the hammer, relying solely on the Mystic Sky Shield, he couldn’t fend off the Flame Fist.
Little did Yan Ming Realm Venerable know, he was also shocked inside.
"Although I haven’t utilized the true power of the Divine Artifact, merely wearing it allows my Fire Dao to approach late stage of the eighth rank, one shot of Flame Fist can instantly kill the First Step, even the Third Step wouldn’t dare to resist firmly; he actually used a hammer to fend it off? Isn’t he practicing Spear Skill?"
No one told him that Lu Chenzhou’s Hammer Technique was also this strong.
Bang, bang!
Flames and frost danced together.
The initial battle between the two was probing, fighting evenly for a while.
Seeing this scene, the other Three Realm Venerables and Mystic Sky Alliance high-level members all breathed a sigh of relief.
Both sides lacked a clear advantage.
Whether it’s Lu Chenzhou or Yan Ming, if the two had a vast disparity in strength, the war would have no suspense.
"Mystic Sky Army, follow the Sword Array to charge and kill!" Seven glamorous sword lights broke through everything, engaging in battle with the Xuanshan Realm army, billions of Sword Qi torrents flushing against an abruptly standing stone city wall in Ruins Sea, sparks and debris flying.
"How foolish and reckless!" Xuanshan Realm Venerable wielded the God Beating Stick, fiercely smashing towards the Hanhai Seven Sons.
This stick, with the momentum of heaven descending.
The weaker members of the seven sword lights directly spat blood.
Upon seeing, Xuanshan Realm Venerable couldn’t help but sneer: "What a rabble, dare to challenge me?"
His old-school Second Step strength, late stage seventh rank Earth Dao, also came with his personal Divine Artifact.
This stick, even the Third Step has to cautiously respond.
Hanhai Sect Lord looked pale, only resenting his insufficient cultivation to unleash the power of the Heavenly Separation Sword Formation.
They still underestimated the power of Divine Artifacts, even incomplete ones are far superior to Supreme Treasures.
"Sect Master, it’s our fault for being too weak, dragging slow, let’s give it our all, must stall the Xuanshan, otherwise the pressure on the Alliance Hierarch will be too much."
Bai Qiuzi transformed sword light already faintly displayed red, this was burning Essence Blood.
"Haha, able to wield the Sword Array to challenge the Four Realm Venerables, we Seven Sons aren’t here in vain."
"Let’s kill to our hearts’ content, no matter the result of this battle, we Hanhai Seven Sons will surely become renowned!"
"It’s a pity, had Brother Bai advanced to the Eight Realms, the power of our Sword Array could reach higher levels."
Every sword light turned red, the Hanhai Seven Sons began using the Ascension Technique right from the start.
Hanhai Sect Lord laughed: "Then let’s go all out!"
The thick sword light morphed into blood-red, rushing straight to the sky.
"Crazy, going all out right from the start?" Xuanshan Realm Venerable couldn’t understand, "What benefits did the Mystic Sky Alliance give you, as long as you submit to the Divine Alliance, we’re willing to offer double; you are truly good men, dying would be a pity." The unpretentious swing of the God Beating Stick ceaselessly shook the Sword Array.
"What we want, you cannot give." The blood-colored sword light transformed into a dragon, assaulting the city walls.
Meanwhile,
The Dragon and Phoenix Clans were each restraining the Gale Divine Race and Thunder God Race.
Their situation was still manageable, after all, their foundation was substantial, and their power wasn’t much weaker than the Realm Venerables.
Only the Divine Artifacts evidently outshone, implicitly gaining the upper hand.
Wan Shui Venerable Sovereign utilized water to counter fire, leading the army to directly assault Flame Bright Great World.
Torrents of water extinguished flames, white smoke billowed.
Besides the strongest Yan Ming Realm Venerable, there were two hidden Red Feather Clan Realm Venerables within the Great World.
Though they were both First Step strengths, relying on the terrain, they could exhibit formidable power.
Additionally, the Divine Alliance had a subordinate coalition army acting as cannon fodder at the forefront, including an Eight Realm alien race expert.
Thus, Wan Shui Venerable Sovereign’s pressure was also considerable.
Lu Chenzhou, battling Yan Ming, observed the battlefield on all sides, his heart heavy.
"The situation seems unfavorable, Hanhai Seven Sons ultimately have somewhat weak cultivation."
If this continues, the Seven Sons would be worn out alive.
"If it doesn’t work, I might have to summon the Spiritual Embodiment... originally intended as a trump card."
While pondering, Ruins Sea rippled again.
A towering figure charged into the battlefield, shielding the Hanhai Seven Sons behind him, standing alone before the city walls.
"This Divine Monarch also wants to try!"
