"Kill!"
Immortal Lord Yuchan held the treasure vase steady. Streaks of immortal fire sped out from it, like a blazing sea of light, intending to burn Lu Yang into a pile of ashes.
Regarding this, Lu Yang's countermeasure was simple.
[Deprivation].
The concept of [Heavenly Fire] surrounded him, making myriad phenomena submit. When the immortal fire fell on him, it surprisingly broke free from Immortal Lord Yuchan's control in an instant, and even turned back to block the unaffected immortal fire. After several exchanges, that blazing sea of light was actually pushed back by Lu Yang.
Seeing this, Immortal Lord Yuchan's beautiful face condensed slightly, thinking to herself:
The Immortal Nexus's [Heavenly Fire], a Supreme dao fruit indeed lives up to its reputation. Just its dao fruit concept alone can block my [Water and Fire Treasure Vase Seal]...
At this moment, the shock in her heart was unspeakable.
One should know that the treasure vase in her hand was not ordinary. It was a forbidden technique from the ancient cultivation system of the Celestial Court, having similarities in wonder with the true treasures of the Immortal Nexus.
Under such circumstances, Lu Yang could block the immortal fire in her vase relying solely on the dao fruit concept. How could she not be shocked? It also gave birth to a bit of shame and annoyance, as if the forbidden technique she painstakingly deduced was vulnerable to a single blow. Thinking of this, Immortal Lord Yuchan immediately changed her hand seal and shouted softly:
"Again!"
As her voice fell, the light of the treasure vase changed, surging with a distinctly different second concept. Looking out, it was a vast ocean.
Shaoyin, unifying water and fire.
Although Immortal Lord Yuchan's cultivation was limited and insufficient to trigger water and fire calamities like the former Immortal Lord Shaoyin, the separated water and fire were equally powerful.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yang smiled calmly.
In the next second, Immortal Lord Yuchan saw streaks of text forged from firelight suddenly appear around her body, imprinted on her like rules.
[Those Who Harm Others Shall Be Heavily Punished!]
[Those Who Attack First Shall Be Heavily Punished!]
[Those Without Grotto-Heavens Shall Be Heavily Punished!]
Not just these three before her eyes. Those were restrictions during the time of false holding in the past. Now as the master of [Heavenly Fire], the rules he could inscribe were limitless!
And the longer the time, the faster the inscription speed!
Instantly, streaks of heavenly fire descended from the sky. It was precisely the punishment of heavenly fire burning the body for violating the rules, instantly igniting Immortal Lord Yuchan's delicate body!
Under such circumstances, Immortal Lord Yuchan had to retract the attack about to be launched, reverse the treasure vase again, and pour the manifested vast ocean onto herself, isolating the influence of heavenly fire burning the body. After doing all this, the treasure vase in her hand instantly emitted a crisp cracking sound.
Crack, crack...
Fine cracks appeared amidst the shattering sound.
The treasure vase was not a physical object, but a manifestation of concepts. Cracking at this moment meant the concept was disintegrated, causing Immortal Lord Yuchan to temporarily lose this method.
Of course, Lu Yang also paid a price.
At this moment, the two major concepts of [Heavenly Fire] were both used here and could not be easily withdrawn; otherwise, Immortal Lord Yuchan would also simultaneously restore the treasure vase.
However, in Lu Yang's view, it was worth it.
In the next second, Lu Yang leaped forward. Brilliant magnificent light rushed out from the crown of his head, condensing into a dazzling talisman script—inscribing the supreme principles between heaven and earth.
[Inscribing Heavenly Chapter]!
The burning talisman script quickly merged into heaven and earth without stirring up any concepts, yet it caused Immortal Lord Yuchan's beautiful face to change suddenly, revealing a look of intense shock.
Forcible inscribe: [Early Stage Immortal Lords Cannot Resurrect After Death!]
A seemingly simple rule directly sealed the two resurrection coins in Immortal Lord Yuchan's hands, equivalent to killing her two lives out of thin air!
But soon, she returned to calm.
Seeing this, Lu Yang felt it a pity. Actually, if possible, it would have been best for him to ban the opponent's resurrection method when detonating the dao fruits for the first time.
However, the concepts formed by the dao fruit self-destruction were too violent, churning everything regardless of friend or foe, forcing him to focus his main energy on protecting himself.
Besides, the effect of [Inscribing Heavenly Chapter] was universal for both sides. If he spent energy banning resurrection but ended up unable to block the aftermath of the dao fruit explosion, resulting in him and Immortal Lord Yuchan dying violently together... If he had to restart because of this, Lu Yang would really have no face to see anyone.
And one point must be admitted: Immortal Lord Yuchan was very strong!
In Lu Yang's view, this female immortal lord was strong not only in cultivation and divine abilities but more importantly in her ruthless style. Her behavior carried a fierce aura.
This fierce aura could be seen in most perfected lords of the Immortal Nexus. Only the Three Excellencies of the Dao Court lacked this bone-deep fierce aura due to special reasons.
After all, their growth experiences and the difficulty of seeking the Golden Core were different. The edge of a precious sword comes from sharpening; the more hardships and difficulties, the more one possessed that ferocity and ruthlessness.
This was something Unorthodox cultivators and those perfected lords who ascended irregularly did not possess.
Therefore, even after losing the means of resurrection, Immortal Lord Yuchan did not panic. She even became more fanatical, the magnificent light in her beautiful eyes almost burning.
Supreme... Only Supreme can counter it!
At this moment, inside the Heaven and Earth Immortal Bank, Immortal Lord Yuchan's deposit balance began to slide rapidly.
Terrifying [Money] concepts were fully blessed onto her body.
Splat...
Suddenly, Lü Yang frowned slightly, looking at a piece of rotten flesh falling from his body... The rotten flesh decayed rapidly upon hitting the ground, finally turning into dust.
What's going on?
Lü Yang was startled, feeling a cold aura suddenly emerge from within his body, sweeping irreversibly through him, causing his skin and flesh to begin rotting.
This is... Taiyin?
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, looking again at Immortal Lord Yuchan's direction, only to see her gaze was eerie. Hands forming a seal, she created a magnificent concept.
It was a graveyard.
Taiyin is damp earth. Yang qi rises above ground, while Yin qi accumulates below. Falling upon Lü Yang, it immediately sought to separate Yin and Yang, stripping away all his vitality!
Looking out, Lu Yang also saw countless mounds in this graveyard. Some were small, some were large. The auras ranged from mortals to qi refining, then to foundation establishment, and even perfected lords—countless in number. Each mound symbolized a living being buried in this graveyard!
This reminded Lu Yang of another thing:
Netherworld?
That's right, this graveyard simply looked like the prototype of the Immortal Nexus Netherworld. Or rather, it was constructed by imitating the concept of the Netherworld itself!
While pondering, half of Lu Yang's body had already turned into soil.
Profound wonder, concepts, spiritual power... everything fell into silence under the cover of the soil. It seemed he was about to become another new grave in the graveyard.
"Die!"
Immortal Lord Yuchan bit her silver teeth lightly. This was the mighty power of [Taiyin] she borrowed by spending all her savings and even signing a loan—all for a sure kill!
Buried by [Taiyin], ten deaths and no life!
However, in the next second, Lu Yang suddenly formed a hand seal, thunder sound bursting from his mouth:
"Cut!"
As his voice fell, brilliant light instantly emerged at the center of his brow, condensing into the appearance of the [Tribulation Wave], cleaving straight down and cutting directly onto his body!
This cut did not harm the flesh or destroy the soul. The inherent [Severing Dao] characteristic of the [Tribulation Wave] after advancing to a true treasure actually directly shaved off the soil on half of Lu Yang's body, shaving away the concept of [Taiyin] burying everything, allowing Lu Yang's body to shine with radiance, looking even more solemn and dignified.
Immediately following, the sword edge turned.
"Slash!"
Lu Yang slashed out with a sword, tearing apart the graveyard concept. Rolling sword qi made Immortal Lord Yuchan's hair dance and her beautiful eyes condense slightly, yet she advanced instead of retreating half a step.
Bang!
The sound of piercing metal and cracking stone exploded. If not for the white jade hall being sealed inside and out—uncheckable by anyone at this moment, the sound of their battle would probably be known to the world already.
In fact, right from the beginning, Immortal Lord Yuchan tried to undo the seal of the white jade hall, but the formation had no reaction, making her heart sink slightly. She recalled that when opening the formation earlier, Lu Yang had tampered with the formation. Presumably, he had laid the groundwork at that time.
In other words, no one could save her now.
She could only rely on herself!
"Kill!"
Immortal Lord Yuchan's thoughts turned rapidly without the slightest wavering. A shout spat out from her vermilion lips. Her ten fingers changed seals, and she took out another forbidden technique.
After all, like Lu Yang, she was at the critical point of breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Golden Core. Since Lu Yang had two true treasures, she naturally also had two forbidden techniques!
[Shaoyin Sealing and Storing Essence]!
Shaoyin within Yin governs hibernation, the foundation of sealing and storing. Its glory manifests in the hair, its fullness in the bones, it is the foundation of essence!
Under the enhancement of the second forbidden technique, Immortal Lord Yuchan's beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter. Even her hair flowed with moonlight, and pores all over her body were erupting with blood and qi.
Contrary to her feminie image, this forbidden technique was actually used to augment the body. The moon wheel in her eyes manifested into reality, merging with her tender body, anchoring her in peak condition. Then she strode forward, actually intending to engage in close-quarters combat with Lu Yang.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Lu Yang coldly smiled.
Hand-to-hand combat it is!
In an instant, a man and a woman, one sturdy and one alluring, pressed against each other. Bodies entangled, there was now only the most primal collision!!!
