Chapter 240 of Land Immortal: The Siege of Li Changsheng and the others were shocked. They thought to themselves, "Master Jianhuang has been hiding so well. He is actually a Land Immortal."
However, they quickly dismissed the idea because they did not feel the unique pressure of an Earth Immortal.
They were all sect leaders and quickly understood the trick. Master Jianhuang had used a secret technique of his sect or borrowed the power of some divine artifact to temporarily create a Buddha phantom similar to a primordial spirit, which could participate in battles at the level of Earth Immortals for a short period of time.
However, judging from Master Jianhuang's pale and withered face, it was clear that the price of using this move was very high, and he only had the qualification to participate in the battle; his actual combat power was still inferior to that of a true Earth Immortal.
As expected, the Buddha's phantom was incredibly powerful to everyone, but when it met Zhao Hao's primordial spirit, it was slapped so hard that it staggered and trembled, almost disintegrating.
Fortunately, King Qi arrived in time and acted as the main force to stop Zhao Hao. Then, the Buddha's phantom assisted from the side, which barely stabilized the battle situation.
The group fought fiercely in the clouds, neither able to gain the upper hand for the time being.
Li Changsheng and the others on the platform below suddenly had a thought and looked at Zhao Hao's physical body in the center.
Although they were not Earth Immortals, as sect leaders with profound knowledge of Taoism, they knew that after the primordial spirit left the body, the physical body was very fragile. Once the physical body was destroyed, unless one became a true immortal, no matter how powerful the primordial spirit was, it would only vanish into nothingness.
Of course, under normal circumstances, a celestial immortal would not be afraid of this at all. Once his primordial spirit is released, he can destroy heaven and earth, and the enemy has no chance to get close to his physical body.
But things are different now. Zhao Hao's primordial spirit is being held back by Prince Qi and Master Jianhuang in the clouds, unable to escape. The guards and embroidered-robed envoys below are engaged in fierce battle. Zhu Xie Chixin and Eunuch Wen are both dead, and no one is guarding his physical body.
Upon thinking of this, Li Changsheng could no longer restrain himself, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, directly piercing towards Zhao Hao's body.
The sword in his hand, carrying countless sword shadows, arrived beside Zhao Hao in the blink of an eye.
The Earth Immortal's body was indeed very tough, but he was confident that without a primordial spirit within his body, even the toughest physical body could not withstand his Longevity Sword.
Just as his longsword was about to pierce Zhao Hao's brow, Zhao Hao, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and stared at him sharply.
Li Changsheng's hair stood on end. He didn't have time to think about why Zhao Hao's primordial spirit was still fighting Qi Wang and the others in the clouds, or why his physical body below still had consciousness. His first reaction was to retreat quickly, and at the same time, he used his life's ultimate technique to leave behind a series of defensive formations in front of him.
However, it was too late. Zhao Hao raised his finger and precisely caught the sword in the midst of countless sword shadows. Then, with his other hand, he gently touched forward, and the defensive formations crumbled layer by layer as if they were made of paper. Finally, his finger touched Li Changsheng's chest directly.
Li Changsheng was struck dumb as if by lightning. He flew in an arc and crashed heavily to the ground dozens of feet away.
Xuan Bajing and Guan Chouhai, who were about to rush over and destroy Zhao Hao's physical body, immediately stopped and quickly shrank back. They were both sweating profusely. If they had been at the forefront, they would probably have ended up like Li Changsheng.
Thinking of the emperor's power, the two men, who usually held themselves in high esteem, felt a wave of despair and involuntarily continued to retreat. They both had second thoughts and wanted to make a quick getaway before Zhao Hao and the Prince of Qi could decide the outcome, so that they could at least save their lives.
Just then, Li Changsheng braced himself on the ground with his hands, trembling as he propped himself up. A trace of blood still clung to the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale and weak, but he didn't care about that at all. Instead, he shouted with all his might, "He is only being controlled by the Yin God now and doesn't have his original strength. Don't be afraid, everyone!"
There are five realms of Grandmasters, which correspond to the cultivation of Heroic Spirit, Essence Spirit, Central Spirit, Strength Spirit, and Vitality Spirit.
By cultivating the spiritual essence between the eyebrows and forming a domain, one becomes a Grandmaster.
The next level of cultivation involves cultivating the Heavenly Soul at the top of the head, which allows one to cultivate a Yin Spirit that can leave the body. At this stage, the Yin Spirit is still relatively weak and can only leave the body for a short while. Moreover, it is afraid of things like the scorching sun.
Until he cultivated the Soul Roar, his Yin Spirit became powerful, ignoring the scorching sun, and could attach itself to objects, achieving supernatural abilities such as taking people's heads from thousands of miles away with a flying sword.
However, the spirits of the underworld have no physical form and cannot interact with the material world; they need to rely on other people or things to influence it.
It wasn't until later, when he cultivated the Earth Soul and developed the Yang Spirit, reaching the Earth Immortal realm, that he realized the Yang Spirit was completely different from the Yin Spirit. The Yang Spirit had a physical form and was almost indistinguishable from a real person.
Above that is cultivating the Heavenly Soul, a higher level of the Primordial Spirit. Zhao Hao just experienced his Primordial Spirit leaving his body.
The grandmasters present were all top experts with prominent reputations in the martial arts world, and naturally they had all cultivated Yin Spirits. If Zhao Hao only had Yin Spirits in his body at this moment, they would not be afraid.
Guan Chouhai and Xuan Bajing were taken aback upon hearing this. If it was only the Yin Spirit, although the Emperor was much stronger than a Grandmaster who had cultivated the Yin Spirit due to his Earth Immortal body and the strength of his Yuan Qi, he was not completely invincible.
However, they didn't believe it easily. They were worried that Li Changsheng had been seriously injured and couldn't escape. He didn't want to see them leave so easily, so he tried to trick them into going to their deaths.
Seeing the two men's eyes darting around, Li Changsheng immediately guessed what they were thinking and angrily cursed, "Use your toes to think! If he were at his peak strength right now, I would be dead after taking one hit from him!"
Guan Chouhai and Xuan Bajing exchanged a glance and both agreed on this reason. After all, at this point, Zhao Hao would not hold back.
However, Xuan Bajing still had some reservations: "Um... he also has a Yang spirit."
