Immortality Begins with Krypton Life

Chapter 106 Twin Dragons Shake the TowerOver two hundred years of Lifespan were instantly consumed.

Chen Mu felt a surge of violent power erupting from the demon seal, rushing directly into his body.

That power was completely different from the Great Wu Dynasty’s Luck within Xu Changze’s golden seal; it carried a sense of wildness, instinct, and destruction.

”Boom!”

A blast of black-red Qi erupted around Chen Mu, and a faint, blurry phantom of a black dragon could be seen flashing around him for a fleeting moment.

The remaining shackles of official seal Luck on his body fluctuated violently as if they had met their nemesis, and were instantly forced to dim and dissipate.

”What?!”

Xu Changze was the first to notice something was wrong, crying out in alarm and suspicion.

Chen Mu snapped his eyes open. The crimson in his eyes had not faded, but now burned with towering flames and a cold killing intent.

The Protective Aura around him exploded; it was no longer pure human martial arts Protective Aura, but mixed with a trace of violent Yao Race Luck.

”Bang! Bang!”

The two guards holding him bore the brunt of it, sent flying and spitting blood by the sudden burst of immense force. They smashed through the railings and fell to the floor below, triggering a chorus of gasps.

Chen Mu stood tall, his bones clicking and popping like a Vicious Beast breaking free from its shackles.

His left hand tightly gripped the slightly hot ancient demon seal, which flowed with a faint black light. He reached out with his right hand into the void, and the soul-slaying blade lying nearby gave a soft hum before flying back into his palm.

”Xu Changze!”

Chen Mu let out a long roar, filled with suppressed explosion and fury. Without further words, he kicked off the ground, pushing the Divine Void Step to its absolute limit. His body turned into a black-red afterimage as he lunged straight at Xu Changze on the floor below.

”Vile creature, you still dare to resist!”

Xu Changze was both shocked and enraged. He thought victory was in his grasp, never expecting that Chen Mu would not only break free from the official seal’s suppression but also seem to have gained the blessing of some strange power.

A ruthless look appeared in his eyes, and he no longer held back.

”Arrogant! Do you really think that just because you luckily escaped, you can turn the world upside down?”

He shouted sternly, no longer hiding his original voice, and abruptly raised the gold-plated official seal in his hand once more.

”Majestic Heavenly Might, guided by the seal, suppress!”

The official seal instantly blazed with golden light, several times stronger than before. A phantom of a majestic and overbearing five-clawed golden dragon flew out from the seal.

The dragon’s eyes were filled with authority as it looked down. Carrying the heavy power of the entire Great Wu Dynasty’s governmental order, it pressed down toward Chen Mu with a thunderous force.

Wherever the golden light passed, the air solidified and the floorboards groaned.

This time, Xu Changze truly intended to kill. He pushed the power of Luck even further than before, vowing to completely suppress Chen Mu and turn him into dust!

However, facing this golden dragon of Luck that could cause an ordinary Dao Entry Realm Martial Artist’s mind to collapse, Chen Mu showed no fear. Instead, a blazing Battle Intent ignited in his eyes.

He thrust the demon seal in his hand forward violently.

”Roar!”

A violent, vast dragon roar, seemingly from the ancient primordial era, erupted from the demon seal.

The eyes of the beast on the seal’s handle turned blood-red, and a solid phantom of a black flood dragon roared forth.

This flood dragon had a single horn on its head, an entirely pitch-black body, and grim scales. Its form was vastly different from the orthodox golden dragon, appearing more ferocious and filled with primitive destructive power and untamable wildness.

On one side were order, law, and Dynastic Heavenly Might.

On the other were wildness, instinct, and ancient wilderness.

One gold and one black, the two dragons of Luck collided violently in mid-air.

”Boom!”

A deafening explosion erupted in the main hall of the Peony Pavilion. The bursting energy spread rapidly; wherever it went, tables, chairs, and screens were all turned to dust. The pillars groaned under the unbearable weight, and cracks spread across the walls.

The spectating guests had long since been scared out of their wits, crying for their parents as they scrambled toward the main door in a chaotic mess.

The golden light and black Qi entangled and eroded each other. While the Dynasty’s Luck was orthodox and vast, the Yao Race Luck sealed within the demon seal was also ancient and stubborn.

Furthermore, it had been activated by Chen Mu using two hundred years of Lifespan, making its momentum Peak. The two sides were in a deadlock, and for a moment, neither could overcome the other.

Xu Changze’s face grew paler and paler. Activating an official seal of this grade was extremely taxing, consuming not just Protective Aura, but also his mental energy and the Official Fortune he had accumulated.

He never imagined that Chen Mu would have such a bizarre trump card, capable of summoning an alien Luck to rival the Dynasty’s Luck.

”This boy cannot be allowed to live!”

Xu Changze’s killing intent reached its absolute Peak.

Chen Mu was also having a hard time. Although the Yao Race Luck protecting him was strong, it was not perfectly compatible with his body. As it circulated, his Meridians swelled, and his Divine Soul suffered an immense load from the activation.

But he knew this was his only chance.

Suddenly, Chen Mu’s gaze turned cold, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two dragons of Luck were deadlocked in mid-air and the pressure on the area below was greatly reduced, Chen Mu moved.

He pushed the Divine Void Step to an unprecedented Peak, his figure moving like a ghost around the center of the energy clash, striking directly at Xu Changze’s body from the side.

The black light within the soul-slaying blade was restrained, the Soul-Loss Art already infused into the blade. The strike fused the hacking of the Broadsword Technique, the thrust of the Sword Drawing Technique, and the finishing blow of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, specifically targeting Xu Changze’s vital points!

Xu Changze was focusing all his strength on using the official seal to resist the demon seal. Seeing this, his pupils shrank. He quickly pointed his left fingers toward Chen Mu’s throat, his fingertips flickering with Protective Aura and the faint sound of wind and thunder, while simultaneously shifting his body to try and open up some distance.

But Chen Mu was faster. The profound mystery of the Perfection level of the Divine Void Step was displayed to its fullest at this moment.

Xu Changze’s sword-finger clearly locked onto his throat, but it only struck a fading afterimage. The real body had already appeared on Xu Changze’s left side.

The soul-slaying blade whistled through the air, slicing diagonally toward his ribs.

Xu Changze was shocked. Disregarding his dignity, he rolled backward, narrowly avoiding the blade’s edge, but the Saber Qi still sliced through his black clothes, leaving a bloody gash on his ribs.

What made his heart race even more was a strange power that seeped into his body through the wound, causing his mind to fall into a momentary trance.

”soul-loss power?!”

Xu Changze was experienced after all. Only now did he truly realize how difficult Chen Mu was to deal with.

Not only did he have the strength to rival a Heart-Awakening Realm Ghostly Creature, but he also possessed bizarre blade techniques and secret arts specifically designed to counter soul bodies. And now, he had added a strange demon seal that could rival the official seal!

Chen Mu did not let up. His blade strikes were sharp, and combined with the unpredictability of the Divine Void Step, every move targeted Xu Changze’s vitals.

Although Xu Changze’s cultivation was profound and his martial knowledge vast, most of his mental energy was tied up by the official seal’s struggle with the demon seal. Furthermore, he was not used to Chen Mu’s bizarre methods—a Fusion of multiple Perfected martial arts, especially those targeting the Divine Soul. Having lost the initiative, he was soon struggling to cope, and more wounds appeared on his body.

They weren’t fatal, but they left him in a pathetic state.

”You bastard!”

Xu Changze was beyond furious. He was the dignified head of a county with powerful backing. He had personally arranged everything tonight, thinking it was a sure thing to drive Chen Mu and Qi Huan into an abyss from which they could never recover.

Who would have thought that unexpected changes would occur one after another?

A mysterious guest had disrupted the situation with a high bid and even provided a curious object capable of rivaling the official seal. Now, he was the one on the defensive, forced into such a pathetic state by a junior in front of everyone.

He glared at Chen Mu with extreme malice, then looked warily at the two dragon phantoms still struggling in mid-air. Finally, his gaze swept over the private rooms on the third floor.

He knew it was impossible to kill Chen Mu today.

The task was undoable!

If he continued the struggle and something else went wrong, there was a real possibility he might fail miserably in an unexpected way.

As long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood!

With this thought, a look of decisive ruthlessness flashed in Xu Changze’s eyes.

He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the official seal in his hand!
