Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

128: Chapter 128 Settling Grudges and Slaying Li JunyanOn the life-and-death arena, Li Junyan, with one eye blind, held the heavenly halberd. Carrying monstrous Killing Intent and hatred, he stared fixedly at Chen Zhuxiao.

If it weren’t for the Chen Family, if it weren’t for that Demon King, the Li Family would not have been wiped out.

Now, he had returned from Hell. This blood debt would begin with Chen Zhuxiao!

”It is me, pay with your life!”

As the words fell, Li Fire surged around Li Junyan, erupting with the Aura of Foundation Establishment Peak. It was wild and explosive, mixed with thick, bloody Killing Intent.

He swung the heavenly halberd in his hand, his Li Fire mana boiling, transforming into hideous, terrifying Fire Dragons. Shocking Killing Intent swept in all directions, rushing toward Chen Zhuxiao like angry dragons riding the river.

The Cultivators in the surrounding stands were somewhat stunned. From which obscure corner had this young Li Fire Cultivator emerged?

They seemed to have no impression of him; he was not a direct disciple of a Golden Core Upper Sect, nor did he look like a direct descendant of those hidden Immortal clans.

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Red Dust Tower Master. He cast a subtle, imperceptible glance at the [Qiusha] True Monarch sitting in the seat of honor.

The life-and-death arena below was now controlled by this True Monarch; without his permission, Li Junyan could not have entered.

Not to mention Li Junyan, even they, the five False Core Great Powers, could not enter. The power of a Golden Core True Monarch level was not something they could contend with.

”Great Qi already has a Pivot Thunder Golden Core about to achieve Nascent Soul; I fear they are unwilling to let another Divine Thunder Golden Core who walks the Sword Dao emerge...”

The other four False Core Great Powers had different expressions, each with their own thoughts.

In the arena, the dragons transformed from Li Fire roared at the sky. With a flick of their tails, they crossed the ten-thousand-foot distance in an instant, the scorching flames causing the Void Realm to twist.

Chen Zhuxiao’s expression was calm. He was well aware that the Liyuan Plains Li Family had sent people to cooperate with the Qian Family and the Xuan Yuan Sect years ago, intending to wipe out the Chen Family together.

When Yuan Feng wiped out the Li Family, this Qilin Son of the Li Family had been rescued by someone.

Now, Li Junyan had reappeared, and had even broken through to Foundation Establishment Peak in one go. The power behind the person who rescued him could not be underestimated.

”Your immortal foundation, has it sublimated?”

As Chen Zhuxiao spoke, his eyes turned into thunder pupils, his pitch-black hair dyed with thunder light. Mortal World Sword Intent erupted, and with Azure Divine Thunder, he slashed across. The few Fire Dragons disintegrated instantly, dissipating into flames.

He pointed his fingers as a sword, and a long sword composed of thunder and Mortal World Sword Intent appeared. Heart-palpitating thunder light lingered upon it, filled with a destructive Aura, as if it could sever a mountain range and slash through the firmament with one strike!

Whoosh!

The next moment, the Sword Intent swept out. Mortal World phenomena and all kinds of shackles were all slashed open.

The thunder light was blinding, Divine Thunder broke through the air, and the sword radiance was as brilliant as the great sun, sharp and exposed, arriving at extreme speed.

Li Junyan’s expression was grave. A set of red flame treasure armor burning with raging Li Fire appeared on his body, protecting his physique.

Divine Thunder superimposed with Sword Intent was not only terrifying in lethality but also possessed extreme speed.

Clang!

Thunder and fire struck each other, sparks flew in thousands, and the Azure Divine Thunder exploded. A Sword Intent that severed the shackles of the Mortal World erupted completely, slashing Li Junyan a thousand feet away and plowing two deep trenches into the arena.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Li Junyan’s mouth, and the red flame treasure armor on his body dimmed by several degrees. A clear sword mark appeared on it, with thunder light jumping on it from time to time.

”Why, why can you receive the favor of a True Monarch, and receive the personal transmission of a True Monarch?!”

”Why, you can comprehend Sword Intent, while I can only live a life like Hell?!”

Li Junyan’s eyes were red, roaring repeatedly. The Li Fire on his body became increasingly fierce, and the patterns on the red flame treasure armor seemed to come alive, with magma-like liquid flowing to dispel the thunder light Sword Intent and repair the sword marks on its own.

Then, the Li Fire heavenly halberd in his hand shook, and a crimson Black Bird let out a long cry, flapping its wings and swooping down.

A thunder long sword appeared in Chen Zhuxiao’s hand; it was the second-grade top-grade Spell sword, thunder trace.

To deal with Li Junyan, he did not need to use the two Spirit Treasures, vast thunder and prison breaker; the former was not worthy!

The moment he took hold of thunder trace, Chen Zhuxiao’s Aura changed, like a god-sword completely unsheathed, its sharp edge piercing the Nine Heavens.

As a swordsman, a great Sword Cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent, he would see blood whenever he drew his sword!

Zheng!

thunder trace emitted a crisp sword hum. Waterfall-like thunder overflowed from the hilt to the entire sword body, like a Thunder Dragon reviving, and the crackling thunder resounded in the wilderness.

The Li Fire Black Bird arrived at this moment, its claws like gold and iron, indestructible, with thick Li Fire attached to it, crossing the firmament, the fire light rushing to the heavens!

Beside the Black Bird, rivers of magma-like Li Fire accompanied it like waterfalls flowing against the current, the Void Realm burned and twisted as if it were about to collapse.

This was a terrifying blow, absolutely a sixth-grade Spell with powerful might.

The Black Bird let out a long cry, its wings splitting the sky, and amidst the surging Li Fire, it pounced down. The various fire rivers around it boiled, charging over together.

Chen Zhuxiao’s body bloomed with brilliant thunder light, his Mortal World Sword Intent soared to the heavens, and thunder trace shook. A blazing sword beam slashed out in an instant, like a dragon soaring to the Nine Heavens, arriving first despite starting last!

Boom!

The thunder-like sword beam split the Void Realm, like a great dragon breaking through the air. The dragon’s body was vigorous and powerful, crushing all obstacles and slashing through the rivers of fire.

There were thousands of thunderbolts and ten thousand paths of flames. The sword beam surged forward, and the Sword Intent attached to it was ignited, directly extinguishing the Black Bird. Its momentum remained undiminished, heading straight for Li Junyan’s head.

The latter’s expression changed; Chen Zhuxiao’s lethality was simply too strong!

Ordinary Cultivators fighting him would likely be killed by the sword light instantly, without even time to react.

”Li Flame seeks immortality, Red Flame seeks the Dao, Li Flame Red Flame burns the Dao body!”

Li Junyan shouted loudly. His already tall figure, as if performing the Size As Desired Divine Ability, suddenly grew many times larger, turning into a flame giant dozens of feet tall.

Bang!

The thunder sword beam slashed over, only to be blocked by his heavenly halberd. His magnificent body shook, but he was unharmed.

”This is a Dharma Body?” Chen Zhuxiao raised an eyebrow. thunder trace slashed out dozens of sword strikes in an instant, sharp sword beams breaking through the firmament and arriving across the air.

”That’s right!”

Li Junyan smiled hideously. The Li Fire heavenly halberd became as large as a heavenly pillar. With a sweep, the Void Realm shattered, destroying all the incoming sword beams.

”With the blessing of the Dharma Body, I am peerless in the Foundation Establishment realm. How can you compare with me!”

This Qilin Son of the Li Family laughed loudly. Behind him appeared a thousand-foot-large Black Bird phantom, flapping its wings and flying, like a small sun hanging in the firmament, its Aura ferocious!

As he swung the heavenly halberd, the wings of the Black Bird phantom turned into heavenly blades. Li Fire rose thousands of feet high, lifting two rivers of flame, slashing straight down!

Chen Zhuxiao stood in place, his heart incomparably calm. The thunder and electric light lingering around him became increasingly solid and thick. An image of a top-standing Armored Divine Being appeared behind him, and the rumbling thunder continued to explode.

Subsequently, the Armored Divine Being held a sword in its hand and took a step forward. The Sword Intent pierced the Nine Heavens, slashing through the Mortal World phenomena—I am free and unfettered!

Only to see blazing sword lights sweeping across, thick as mountains, with magnificent Aura, slashing through the rivers of fire and fighting with the Black Bird phantom.

In an instant, the battle ended. The Black Bird phantom had its head cut off by the Armored Divine Being and dissipated into countless light spots.

”Go to Hell!”

Li Junyan’s mountain-like figure shook violently, his eyes red, emitting a heaven-shaking roar, waving the heavenly halberd and slashing over in rage.

The Black Bird phantom he had condensed was the combination of his essence, Qi, and spirit, as well as his own comprehension of the Li Fire Dao, yet it had lost to the Armored Divine Being condensed by Chen Zhuxiao.

This indicated that he was inferior to Chen Zhuxiao—inferior in every aspect. How could he accept this?!

”Do you think you are the only one who knows Dharma Body?”

Chen Zhuxiao chuckled, his slender figure also beginning to grow larger and taller. Nine Heavens clear Qi circled around, and Xu Earth radiance floated. There was a vertical mark on his brow, which seemed capable of opening to unleash a terrifying and unparalleled blow!

This was a Dharma Body type Spell he had obtained in the Immortal Cave of Immortal Lord Hengyuan, named the Clear Profound Heaven-Connecting Tai-Xu Body, which required consuming and refining clear Qi and Xu Earth spiritual objects to Cultivate.

Over these years, he had refined quite a bit of clear Qi and Xu Earth spiritual objects, cultivating this Spell to the fourth level, nearly the limit of the Foundation Establishment realm.

”It was your Li Family that plotted against my Chen Family, and being wiped out by Uncle Yuan was self-inflicted. You act as if it was my Chen Family that wiped out your Li Family without rhyme or reason.”

After manifesting his Dharma Body, Chen Zhuxiao sneered at Li Junyan.

Back then, it was the Li Family who joined forces with the Qian Family and the Xuan Yuan Sect to attack the Chen Family, intending to destroy it.

Li Junyan’s behavior was no less than rebelling against the heavens and shifting the blame.

”Shut up!”

Li Junyan shouted angrily, rushing toward Chen Zhuxiao as if he had lost his mind.

Rumble!

The two mountain-sized Dharma Bodies collided, Li Fire surged, thunder exploded, the heavenly halberd danced wildly, and sword beams shot everywhere!

”What is the background of this Li Fire kid? Why does he have a Dharma Body Spell of the Li Fire Dao? This can only be cultivated by direct disciples within Golden Core forces.” A Purple Mansion True Person watching the battle said in confusion.

”There are many forces in Great Qi that Cultivate Li Fire, but there are only a few at the Golden Core level. The Zhiyang Sect has closed its mountains, so it can only be one of the others,” another Purple Mansion True Person said.

Just as the Cultivators in the stands were talking, the outcome in the arena had already been decided.

Chen Zhuxiao waved his sword, countless thunders turned into dragons and snakes, covering the sky and earth, then gathered together to form a bright yellow sword beam.

Whoosh!

The sword beam, as huge as a mountain, slashed across with extreme speed, with almost no reaction time.

Li Junyan’s tall body took a few steps back, knelt on one knee, the heavenly halberd held in his right hand shattered, and he exited the Dharma Body state.

He looked at Chen Zhuxiao, seemingly wanting to say something, but a bloodstain began to appear at his neck, accompanied by the appearance of Azure Divine Thunder. A headless corpse collapsed with a bang.

A head with eyes wide open in anger rolled to Chen Zhuxiao’s feet. He dispelled the Clear Profound Heaven-Connecting Tai-Xu Body and returned to his original form.

A sword light fell, thunder splashed, and Li Junyan’s head turned into fly ash.

Thus, the grudge between the Liyuan Plains Li Family and the Chen Family was settled, ending with the death of the last clansman of the Li Family.

”This is the Cultivation World, where the weak are prey to the strong. From the moment your Li Family set your sights on my Chen Family, it was destined that you would be wiped out by my Chen Family!”

Chen Zhuxiao’s expression was cold, without any discomfort.

He did not want the Chen Family to end up like the Li Family. To achieve this, he had to keep getting stronger, until no one dared to plot against the Chen Family again!
