Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 731: Immortal King
Even those from first-rate sects would give the Heavenly Emperor Palace some face. Besides, he was certain that Mo Wuji wasn't an Immortal Reverent; how dare a mere Immortal King be so arrogant?
He summoned a bronze mirror, which unleashed a vast expanse of mirror light towards Mo Wuji. Little did he know, Mo Wuji wasn't even an Immortal King yet.
"Boom!" The halberd light of the Half Moon Heavy Halberd collided with the mirror light, leveling the surrounding buildings. Mo Wuji's mind churned; with just one move, he realized his immortal essence wasn't as strong as his opponent's. This was at least a late-stage Immortal King.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, another frail old man rushed over.
"Wei Xing, come and help. This man is not simple, he is very likely a Half-Step Immortal Reverent." The late-stage Immortal King who had clashed with Mo Wuji hadn't noticed that Mo Wuji wasn't even an Immortal King. In his eyes, Mo Wuji's attack was so powerful, and his spiritual will even stronger than his, it would be strange if he wasn't at least an Immortal King at the peak of the stage.
Here came another late-stage Immortal King. Mo Wuji's spiritual will detected an intermediate-stage Immortal King rushing over even further away, holding several array flags in his hand. Clearly, he was an Immortal Array Master trying to repair the protective array that Mo Wuji had shattered.
Mo Wuji unleashed his Whirlwind Domain without reservation. As the two Immortal Kings entered his domain and activated their magical treasures against him, he unleashed a lightning arc directly towards the intermediate-stage Immortal King. At the same time, he grabbed three Li Immortal King Pills and swallowed them.
The Immortal Mortal Art reversed frantically, and Mo Wuji began to break through to the Immortal King Realm.
He knew very well that facing three Immortal Kings, he wouldn't stand a chance if he didn't enter the Immortal King Realm.
"Boom!" The magical treasures of the two late-stage Immortal Kings tore through Mo Wuji's domain, and a spear light struck Mo Wuji directly.
Mo Wuji remained unfazed, still frantically absorbing immortal spiritual energy.
"This man is about to break through to Immortal Reverent, act quickly..." The arriving Immortal King saw through Mo Wuji's actions and was both shocked and furious.
To dare break through in the midst of a fight was simply courting death.
"No, he's not breaking through to Immortal Reverent, but Immortal King..."
When he sensed the fluctuations of Mo Wuji's Dao aura, the arriving Immortal King changed his statement. But he didn't dare finish his sentence. Breaking through to Immortal King? How was that possible? Could a Grand Luo Immortal withstand the attacks of two late-stage Immortal Kings? That was a joke.
"Pfft!" The original Immortal King's mirror light finally condensed into a beam, breaking through Mo Wuji's domain and striking him in the chest, the mirror light tearing out a patch of blood.
However, this Immortal King was somewhat stunned. Logically, his Gathering Dao Mirror should have torn Mo Wuji's body apart even if Mo Wuji was an Immortal Reverent. But now, his mirror light had only drawn a streak of blood?
They had to leave quickly. Since they couldn't kill Mo Wuji in a short time, they couldn't delay. The two late-stage Immortal Kings absolutely didn't want to get caught up in Mo Wuji's lightning tribulation.
Mo Wuji had planned to use the tribulation lightning to kill these Immortal Kings, how could he let them escape? His Whirlwind Domain spread out even more frantically, entangling the two Immortal Kings who were trying to flee.
"Boom boom boom boom!" Several explosions rang out in the sky, and dozens of lightning arcs instantly descended. Mo Wuji had already touched the Immortal King Realm. Now, under the impact of three Li Immortal King Pills, the violent intensity of immortal essence threatened to tear Mo Wuji's body apart. The barrier of the Immortal King Realm was instantly shattered by Mo Wuji, and the lightning tribulation descended in an instant.
Even the intermediate-stage Immortal King who had been preparing to set up the protective array was dragged into the lightning tribulation because of Mo Wuji's attack on him.
Lightning tribulation was a tribulation for any immortal. Normally, no one dared to attack when someone was undergoing tribulation. Once they did, they would be locked onto by the lightning tribulation. Regardless of their cultivation, the lightning tribulation would consider them to be a provocation.
Similarly, no one dared to undergo tribulation in front of their opponents, because no matter how strong you were, you would be weak after the tribulation. At this time, even if your opponent was much weaker than you, they could easily kill you.
"What kind of lightning tribulation is this?" The three Immortal Kings enveloped by the lightning arcs were stunned. Even an Immortal Reverent's lightning tribulation wouldn't have dozens of arcs falling at once, and each arc was much thicker than a true Immortal Reverent's lightning tribulation arc.
"Pfft pfft pfft!" Several bursts of blood mist were blasted out by the lightning arcs. The three Immortal Kings were like swaying duckweed under the lightning arcs. At this time, they could only unleash their defensive magic treasures to resist the frantically falling lightning arcs. Attacking Mo Wuji was the last thing on their mind.
Mo Wuji was also a little dumbfounded. He had planned to take the opportunity to assist the lightning tribulation in killing these three guys when the lightning arcs fell. After all, he was at the sixth level of the Divine Physique, and this Immortal King lightning tribulation was nothing to him.
The reality left him speechless. Under his lightning tribulation, these three Immortal Kings could only barely resist. And this was just the first wave of lightning arcs; the later lightning arcs would be even more terrifying.
……
Yan Qianling sensed the changes in the surrounding space, coupled with the booming thunder, and asked with some confusion, "Wen Hou, does it sound like someone is undergoing tribulation?"
"Let's go out and see if we can escape. This may be our only chance," Wen Hou said without hesitation.
The defensive array of the City Lord's Mansion was opened, and the three quickly escaped with their magical treasures.
The protective array of Yongying Immortal City had already been blasted open by Mo Wuji. As soon as Wen Hou opened the City Lord's Mansion's protective array, the three's spiritual wills scanned Mo Wuji and the three Immortal Kings under the lightning tribulation.
Wen Hou was overjoyed, "Brother Tan, Qianling, this is truly a God-given opportunity. The Yongying Immortal City's Trapping Array has been broken, and the three Immortal Kings who trapped us are all locked in by the lightning tribulation and can't get out for the time being. We must leave as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Wen Hou had already activated his flying magical treasure.
With the protective array of Yongying Immortal City broken, the flying magical treasure was no longer restricted from flying and could directly rush out of Yongying Immortal City.
Yan Qianling frowned slightly and said, "Wen Hou, that person may be here to save us. Wouldn't it be too despicable if we left while he was holding off the three Immortal Kings?"
Tan Liang, who had been observing the battle in the lightning tribulation, said, "I understand now. The person who might be saving us is also an Immortal King. He may not be a match for these three Immortal Kings, so he attracted the Immortal Reverent lightning tribulation to trap them..."
"This doesn't seem like an Immortal Reverent lightning tribulation..." Wen Hou looked up at the endless lightning arcs falling from the sky and said with doubt.
He had undergone the Immortal King lightning tribulation and could sense that the Dao aura of this lightning tribulation was similar to the Immortal King lightning tribulation. But how could the Immortal King lightning tribulation be so terrifying? If the Immortal King lightning tribulation was this terrifying, he would have been killed long ago. Not to mention him, in the entire Immortal Realm, there were few Grand Luo Immortals who could survive this kind of Immortal King lightning tribulation.
"The four are all resisting the lightning tribulation, and the one who attacked seems to be in no danger." Wen Hou didn't know that Mo Wuji wasn't resisting the lightning tribulation, but was absorbing the lightning source to stabilize his Immortal King Realm while comprehending his Great Dao.
This kind of lightning tribulation was even a little lacking for body refinement for him, so he didn't need to resist it at all. The ones who were truly resisting the lightning tribulation arcs were the other three Immortal Kings who had been dragged in by him.
"Then we'll wait here for a while. After the lightning tribulation is over, we can help out," Yan Qianling said firmly.
"I can stay, you and Brother Tan should go first."
"If we stay, we all stay," Tan Liang rejected the suggestion to leave first without hesitation before Wen Hou could finish his sentence.
……
Mo Wuji didn't attack. He sat cross-legged in the lightning arcs with his eyes closed, feeling a kind of Dao aura surrounding him. His cultivation was also constantly rising at this time.
One by one, his supernatural abilities sublimated, rounded, and perfected in his mind. Ever since Mo Wuji opened up the Immortal Mortal meridians and cultivated the Great Dao, he had never had such a clear and thorough understanding of his supernatural abilities and Dao aura.
Many previously vague Dao concepts became clear at this moment.
He felt his mind was clear, and a vast aura condensed on him. The surging immortal essence and spiritual will made it clear to him that his strength had entered a new level. He slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes became calm.
The higher the cultivation, the more he understood, the more Mo Wuji realized how insignificant he was. The lightning tribulation gradually dissipated, but Mo Wuji was clear that he had only taken another step on the endless Great Dao.
"Who exactly are you?" The lightning tribulation arcs finally stopped, and the three Immortal Kings, who had been blasted half to death by the lightning arcs, stared at Mo Wuji with some fear. The one who spoke was the late-stage Immortal King who had first stopped Mo Wuji.
"This Immortal Friend, we are from the Yongying Immortal Territory Heavenly Emperor Palace. I think we should mind our own business. The previous misunderstandings are nothing, why don't we all go our separate ways?" The one who said these words was Wei Xing, also a late-stage Immortal King, who had arrived second and had only unleashed one move against Mo Wuji before being caught in the lightning tribulation arcs.
The intermediate-stage Immortal King, who had been dragged in by Mo Wuji last, didn't speak. He simply grabbed a few pills and swallowed them.
The three were disheveled and charred all over. The lightning tribulation just now had been too terrifying.
The three didn't flee, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare to. The lightning tribulation had been so terrifying that they had almost lost half their lives, while Mo Wuji, who had attracted the lightning tribulation arcs, was calm and collected, and didn't seem to have been harmed at all.
This was just the surface. What made them even more afraid was that Mo Wuji had been so terrifying without undergoing the tribulation, and now that he had passed the tribulation, he had advanced to a new level. They really didn't dare to escape from this kind of expert.
Mo Wuji's gaze swept over the three. He knew that they were still so intact and undamaged because they should thank him. He had absorbed a lot of the lightning source to stabilize his cultivation, which had reduced the power of the lightning tribulation a lot.
"Kui Fengyun must have sent you here, is he about to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm? Or has he already broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked.
