Chapter 119: Sword Light
“A dung fork, an iron egg, and a bracelet worn by a maiden. With just these, you thought to ambush me?”
A cold, faint voice spoke at the same time.
The expressions of the three Divine Court Primordial Lords turned exceptionally grim. They ignored the taunt completely. The three beams of light, surging with immense divine power fluctuations, were already above Lin Yuan’s head.
These were the Tri-Origin Tidal Sound Fork, the Azure Water Soul-Annihilating Shuttle, and the Heavy Water Profound Extreme Bracelet!
All were Divine Path Magical Artifacts refined with thirteen layers of spell restrictions, corresponding to the Earth Immortal level. They were truly formidable to the extreme.
Water radiance surged mightily.
After a few soft, mocking words, Lin Yuan’s expression remained calm. He actually possessed several powerful treasures on him, but not many were cultivated to the Earth Immortal level.
Moreover, they needed to be able to defend against a combined strike from three Earth Immortal-level Divine Path Primordial Lords.
“Let’s test its defensive prowess!”
A thought lit up in Lin Yuan’s mind. In an instant, an earthen-yellow gateway emerged from the spiritual light behind him. A supreme, stagnating, suppressing true intent evolved from it.
In the blink of an eye, those three spirit light-flashing Divine Path Magical Artifacts seemed to sink into a mire. Despite the vast oscillations of divine power, their struggle was apparent.
Among the Five Elements, earth overcomes water. Furthermore, the Inner Scene Earth Gate’s capability far surpassed these three Divine Artifacts.
“This is…”
The three Divine Path Primordial Lords were stunned.
That massive earthen-yellow gateway gave them an intense sense of danger and foreboding.
Lin Yuan actually possessed such a profound Magical Artifact.
The three Divine Path Primordial Lords immediately wanted to retreat. But instantly, their faces changed drastically. That earthen-yellow gateway emanated a powerful suppressing and vortex-like force, which firmly suctioned their divine bodies, making the divine light on their forms difficult to move.
The more they struggled, the tighter the suction!
The three Divine Court Primordial Lords were splayed out against the Inner Scene Earth Gate like characters!
“How could this be…” Several pairs of hidden eyes watching were somewhat dumbfounded. These three Divine Court Primordial Lords, usually so lofty and untouchable, were subdued almost in an instant.
Looking at their expressions, Lin Yuan shook his head.
These three Divine Path Primordial Lords were strong, indeed powerful. But being completely countered by him was just terrible luck.
“However, the Inner Scene Earth Gate is even more profound than imagined!” Within his thoughts, Lin Yuan seized the chance to deliver a deadly blow. The Merit Golden Lamp had quietly appeared in his hand.
“Zhao Yunjun, are you not going to act yet?!”
The three Divine Court Primordial Lords were scared out of their wits and couldn’t help but scream for aid.
It also served to cut off any escape for these potential allies. Whether they intervened or not, everyone was doomed anyway.
As the words fell, an extremely sharp, cold gleam appeared in the void. Faintly, the wind, clouds, sound, light, and all shadow and radiance within the void seemed to converge into nothingness within this sword strike.
“With mind returning to the Great Void, Heaven and Earth share the same longevity! Even a Sword Immortal from the Taixu Temple has moved!”
Deep within the Yong River, several figures veiled in mist had already noticed the changes above the river. Among them, a graceful and exquisite figure had a trace of astonishment in her eyes.
Although the Taixu Temple was small in scale, it was extremely famous among the various loose cultivator sects in the Southwest Mountains.
Especially the Taixu Temple’s “Discourse on Equal Sageliness” held significant renown even among the numerous Dharma Lineages.
“The Jiugong Killing Tribulation, the calamity of the One Origin has once again reached its cleansing phase. For the sake of their own lives, even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone these Dharma Lineage Immortals. That young man’s foundation is not yet stable, how could they restrain their greed!”
Another slender figure secretly shook her head.
“His foundation is shallow as well, lacking the fortune to possess a heavy treasure like the Heavenly One Water Mother Divine Rune. He is fated for this tribulation!”
“What a pity. This Ancient Water Immortal has reincarnated several times, yet his path remains so rugged…”
As that terrifyingly sharp sword light swept forth, even the spiritual radiance emanating from the Inner Scene Earth Gate was thoroughly assimilated.
In his spot, Lin Yuan’s expression showed no change. He simply laughed.
“The Taixu True Intent? Now, this is somewhat interesting.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered. He pointed casually, releasing a wisp of Innate Magical Power. It lightly vibrated the Inner Scene Earth Gate. From within the gate, a vast, turbid yellow spiritual light surged forth. The erupting yellow light possessed the force of mountains, sweeping horizontally through the void.
At this moment, the Inner Scene Earth Gate was not yet cultivated to the Earth Immortal level. However, this Earth Gate had absorbed some of the profundity of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, and had inhaled and exhaled the Innate Spiritual Qi from hundreds of spirit mountains and Spiritual Veins. Its power and weight were worthy of being called mountainous.
The Inner Scene Profound Light it exhaled was even more immensely powerful.
It crashed over like a mountain range. The “harmonizing light with dust” true intent contained within the Taixu sword light was instantly and forcefully torn apart.
In the void, the figure of a middle-aged Taoist was revealed, forcibly swept out from the emptiness by the impact, his face filled with shock. He transformed into a faint, drifting streamer of light as he landed in the distance.
A flicker of coldness passed through Lin Yuan’s eyes. He intended to seize the opportunity to crush this Taixu Temple Earth Immortal in one go. But just then, his brow furrowed slightly, and a trace of impatience colored his words.
“Again! Obsessed with cursing me, and now you’ve overdone it!”
Back in the Taoist temple on the outskirts of the Divine Capital.
Daoist Lingchi, who was sitting cross-legged in wait, suddenly raised his head. A spirit mirror on the nearby dressing table abruptly emitted strands of spiritual light.
It was a “Twin Hearts Treasure Mirror”.
“It’s done!”
A cold sneer flashed in Daoist Lingchi’s eyes.
As long as those nine Coin Offspring restrained the target, combined with the joint efforts of the several Earth Immortals arranged beforehand, no matter how formidable that person was, he would inevitably die.
He formed a hand seal, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. Mighty magical power gathered upon him. Instantly, it transformed into a dark-red, blazing seal that violently smashed towards the straw doll affixed to the Ritual Altar, which bore Lin Yuan’s Eight Characters of Birth.
This was one of the famous, untaught secret techniques of the Five Passages Sect, one of the Nine Soul-Suppressing Seals.
Relying on this method, a Patriarch of the Five Passages Sect had once cursed a superior Celestial Immortal to death!
Upon its eruption, the faint Virtue Merit radiating from the blood-red straw doll also showed signs of dispersing.
“Hex Mother Coin!”
Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in Daoist Lingchi’s eyes. His Life-Bound Treasure, the Hex Mother Coin, transformed into a golden light that merged into the Soul-Suppressing Seal. The golden light blazed, and the Virtue Merit golden light on the blood-colored doll dispersed by another three parts!
Above the mighty Yong River, Lin Yuan’s expression turned somewhat gloomy. He felt an immense pressure bearing down from above, as if a massive dark-red mountain was weighing on his entire body.
Dense dark-red radiance pervaded his form.
“Good chance! Kill him!”
The three Divine Court Primordial Lords saw the opportunity. One of them roared angrily. A river shadow vibrated on his body. A pitch-black Heavy Water Profound Extreme Bracelet smashed against the turbid yellow spiritual light of the Inner Scene Earth Gate, causing it to shake violently, and he broke free in an instant.
Light swirled. Instead of seizing the chance to flee, this Divine Court Primordial Lord’s eyes deepened with killing intent. He turned, transforming into a divine light that merged with the Heavy Water Profound Extreme Bracelet, becoming an immensely heavy black beam that swept towards Lin Yuan. The power of the surging dark river was vast to the extreme.
The other two Divine Court Primordial Lords also seized the moment to erupt with their own River God powers, revealing their true forms. They transformed into Water Mansion Divine Path Dharma Aspects to free themselves and charged towards Lin Yuan for the kill.
Lin Yuan tilted his head slightly, unable to suppress a scornful scoff. With the strength of his Primordial Divine Demon Dao Body, carrying a mountain was nothing.
The Inner Scene Earth Gate emanated its profound light again, suppressing the three deities once more.
With a casual wave of his hand, an ice-blue sword light appeared, tinged with faint golden threads. It flashed like a beam, easily piercing through the protective divine light of the first Divine Path Primordial Lord who had broken free, slaying him effortlessly!
The power of the Innate Magical Power, born of Heaven and Humanity, contained the profundity of a Celestial Immortal. It effortlessly blasted that Divine Court Primordial Lord to bits, his entire divine body turning to dust.
Lin Yuan’s killing intent finally burst forth uncontrollably. The Heavenly River Gui Water Sword rotated slightly. A wisp of light, golden sword light split in two.
The two Divine Court Primordial Lords felt their comprehended Primordial Lord Dharma Aspects crumble upon merely approaching that wisp of innate golden light. Frozen in extreme terror, they were struck by the sword light, their forms shattering into countless fragments.
Such might left the watching hidden eyes horrified and pale.
