BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2222.1: The Primary Body of the Immortal King
“A lower dao rank weapon won’t even break this seat’s defenses!” Contempt dawned in Bi Chen’s eyes and he came straight for the human, not bothering to dodge the response.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The crimson sword light instantly pierced through Bi Chen’s armor and sprayed blood through the air amidst his anguished howls.
“You dare take my sword light straight on?” Lu Yun sneered at the divine beast almost flayed alive in the air.
“A sword cultivator!” Ji Lin gasped and hastily dismissed his own momentum. He stood on top of the fire qilin image and looked warily at Lu Yun.
Flying swords were the easiest treasure to master; flying through the air on a sword was almost the hallmark of a cultivator. While many possessed a flying sword, they used it only as any other treasure. Few were those who truly walked the way of the sword.
Sword cultivators condensed sword qi and possessed devastating attacks. Even their true origin was uncommonly sharp.
In the world of immortals, Lu Yun practiced the Reincarnation Record of the Major Five Elements Demolition Godslayer Record. His immortal soul had been a sword soul and his immortal origin the strongly offensive sword origin.
The current Lu Yun practiced the Nine Chapters of Dao and coalesced Hongmeng true qi. He was not a sword cultivator. However, he received the sword pagoda’s strength after refining it as his image of heaven and earth, making his sword light uncommonly keen. It stood on the same footing as real sword cultivators.
Sword cultivators were incredibly rare—even Yun Shuige, one who’d comprehended the height of man and sword as one, was not one. It wouldn’t have been that easy for Lu Yun to kill him otherwise.
Sword cultivators were also unmatched in speed. They could easily ensure their escape if they found themselves on the losing side.
Ji Lin knew he was no match for the young man after seeing Bi Chen injured with one stroke. But he must have the Void Sacred Flame! Thus, he subconsciously turned toward Bi Chen.
The divine beast had recovered his human form and his green eyes were now fully bloodshot. As time went on, more and more of his chi-dragon bloodline was released in his body. He was drenched with blood, but battle intent glinted out of his eyes. Lu Yun had become his internal demon and it would not disappear unless the young man died. Bi Chen would never reach immortality so long as his internal demon existed.
Thus, the divine beast ignored Ji Lin and swung his stick around, smashing it down on Lu Yun with numerous afterimages.
Having evolved into a divine beast, Bi Chen’s physical body was unparalleled. His core essence remained unharmed despite being pierced through by multiple rays of sword light. This kind of injury was nothing to him.
The stick transformed into thousands of draconic shadows that devoured Lu Yun’s body.
“Open!” shouted the young man. Light shimmered over Immortals Forbidden in response and circulated around his body, rebuffing the draconic shadows.
Ji Lin brandished his spear without hesitation and streaked into a crimson blur of shadow and light, aiming for Lu Yun’s chest. His fire qilin image also moved, swallowing its master. Its maw yawned open as it also came for Lu Yun.
Ji Lin knew that he stood a chance of seizing the Void Sacred Flame from Bi Chen, but he stood no chance whatsoever if it came to the young man. If Lu Yun’s blow had connected with him instead, Ji Lin’s body would’ve collapsed and his nascent soul have to flee for its life.
Thus, he smartly chose to ally with Bi Chen for the immediate present.
Exuding a terrifying aura, the qilin image pounced on Lu Yun.
“He’s combined his spear method with the qilin image! Nice going, Yun Shuige won’t be worth shit if this guy has enough time to develop!” Lu Yun flashed in and out of sight, deploying the Nine Forms of the Cloud Dragon nine times. Eighty-one shadows winked in and out of the air, dodging Bi Chen’s attacks. Ji Lin’s fiery spear, however, locked onto Lu Yun’s primary body under the cover of the qilin image.
As the image broke through the air, its terrifying aura caused the void to coagulate.
“Break!” Lu Yun twisted into a crimson dragon twenty-seven meters long. Sword light circled around it as it crashed into the qilin.
Bam!!
Lu Yun’s crimson dragon was as if a massive drill, puncturing the qilin straight through. Ji Lin was dislodged from the image when it broke and fell out.
The core essence of Ji Lin’s image of heaven and earth was the inner core of the fire qilin. It was one that he could access only through compelling the inner core. He hadn’t had enough time to assimilate it into himself and bring the true power of the qilin image to bear.
At the same time, this meant that Ji Lin didn’t suffer any injuries when the image broke.
“What an incredible sword technique!” He sucked in a sharp breath and tightly gripped his spear, fixing his eyes on the crimson dragon rampaging through the air. His throat bobbed up and down as he watched.
Meanwhile, Bi Chen had gone completely berserk. His red stick transformed into a red dragon three hundred meters long that howled at Lu Yun.
The young man brought the Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons to bear again—once more deploying it alongside the Nine Forms of the Cloud Dragon. The two overlaid combat arts gave rise to nine draconic shadows flashing through the air. They smashed into the red dragon in front of them.
Bam!
The red dragon flew backward with an anguished howl, but Lu Yun also wavered on his feet. He looked at Bi Chen with astonishment.
“This is a treasure refined from the spine of a true dragon, no wonder Bi Chen can activate the chi-dragon bloodline in his body!” he gasped. These two were simply too lucky! One had obtained the inner core of a qilin and the other the spine of a true dragon! It would seem that the treasures within Immortal Burial Valley were much more than he thought.
“ROAR!” The qilin snarled behind Lu Yun as it moved forward again. It came atop a wave of flame as it charged the young man.
These two guys are only a hair weaker than Yun Shuige now. They’d be incredible geniuses in Great Xia! Lu Yun silently gave his assessment of the two divine beasts. He showed no mercy in his response—a ball of scarlet aura bloomed around his body, making it seem like he was on fire.
“The Reincarnation of the Five Elements—Flame Reincarnation!”
Immortals Forbidden flared with radiance, becoming the heart of this void and a true sun. A crimson wheel of light three hundred meters across condensed over Lu Yun’s head. Unbidden, the flames in the void drew close to the wheel of light. Even the quietly burning Void Sacred Flame tilted in Lu Yun’s direction.
But in the next moment, Hongmeng qi circulated and blasted the Connate Great Dao of the Five Elements in all directions. The young man reached a hand into the void, eliciting a burst of golden radiance from the Void Sacred Flame. It was instantly summoned to the crimson wheel over his head and absorbed within.
Humm!
The void turned into one of complete fire. All of the other five elements, even the ambient qi in the surroundings, were forced out by the terrifying flames.
The Flame Reincarnation of the Reincarnation of the Five Elements!
There was the Five Elements of Absolute Slaughter in the Major Five Elements Demolition Godslayer Record, and the Reincarnation of the Five Elements was the advanced version of the Major Five Elements Demolition Godslayer Record in the Reincarnation of the Major Five Elements Record.
When Flame Reincarnation was deployed, all heavenly and earthly flames were available for the wilderness\'s use!
“It looks like I’ve much underestimated the Reincarnation of the Major Five Elements Record… It’s a method from the Reincarnation Disk connate treasure after all.”
Reincarnation…
Lu Yun licked his lips. The Flame Reincarnation he deployed at present rivaled the second stroke of the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword and surpassed the Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons!
This wasn’t due to the Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons being inferior to Flame Reincarnation, but that the latter had been one of Lu Yun’s five great technique aces in the world of immortals. He’d also long comprehend the true meaning of Fire Reincarnation.
As mighty as the Eighteen Cerulean Sword Dragons was, Lu Yun hadn’t practiced it for long and the ray of sword qi within his dantian wasn’t strong enough, to say nothing of grasping the true meaning behind this move.
“Kill!” Lu Yun roared and struck with both hands around his sword. The enormous wheel of fire shifted with him, spraying rays of cutting qi in all directions and filling the air. Combined with the Void Sacred Flame, the earth beneath them was turned into magma.
“Damn it, he’s definitely Lu Tianling’s grandson! Lu Tianling is a perverse talent and this kid is even more so!” Bi Chen shook, blood pouring out of his body. Someone as sturdy as him was gravely injured before the sword qi even reached him!
He didn’t dare take the attack head-on. The dragon bone stick in his hand transformed into a red dragon that twined protectively around his body and broke through the void in a hasty retreat.
Ji Lin was in even worse shape. His body had nearly collapsed under Flame Reincarnation. Despair dawned in his eyes to see the wheel of light about to reach his head. However, he trembled a second before annihilation as a blazing inner core flew out of his body. It transformed into the image of a fire qilin and melded with the qilin image over his head!
Astonished delight shone from his eyes. He fully refined the qilin inner core in this moment of life and death and incorporated it into his image!
Ji Lin’s fingers flew through hand seals and summoned the image back into himself as a streak of light. Fiery radiance enveloped him and vanished into the air.
BOOM!
The fiery wheel descended upon the earth and drowned the void. Lu Yun’s figure appeared several kilometers out.
“Flame Reincarnation is strong enough, but it’s too slow,” the young man tutted. “So Ji Lin fully refined that inner core in the last possible second. He should actually be thanking me, shouldn’t he…”
