Chapter 703 All the city's experts head west
Guo Ju, the third-ranked scholar of the Holy Dynasty, gasped and stood beside Mo Duanfeng: "This Tai Sui Earth Lord is terrifyingly strong. I don't think even Gu Zhenxiang might be able to withstand it."
"There's nothing we can do. Li Weiyi's cultivation time is too short, his foundation is lacking, and he hasn't broken through to the peak." Mo Duanfeng gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and chased after him. If things really got dangerous, he would have to step in to rescue him no matter what.
"You think I'm only strong physically? A true strongman has no weaknesses."
"The earth's energy is at my disposal."
Strands of brown earth energy surged forth from the ground, both a kind of energy and a kind of power. This energy gathered around the Tai Sui Earth Lord, condensing into the phantom images of a hundred beasts: dragons, qilin, tigers, three-headed lions, nine-headed serpents...
At this moment, Tai Sui Di Jun transformed into the king of a hundred demons, his aura surging, and the power fluctuations of his entire body continuously rising.
"Tai Sui is an earth demon, close to the earth, and best at mobilizing the power of the earth's veins and the earth's energy, so he can easily move mountains and rivers."
“In the southern part of Yingzhou, there once lived a Tai Sui Earth Immortal with great supernatural powers. He could change the course of the earth's veins and rivers, and turn the sea into mulberry fields. He was most likely the ancestor of the Tai Sui Earth Lord.”
Three miles away, Li Weiyi suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Tai Sui Di Jun and all the beasts attacking together: "Earth Qi? I can use that too!"
"Whoosh!"
Within the Divine Palace, the scriptures of longevity flicker, connecting with the earth.
The primordial essence of the earth rose around Li Wei and condensed into a city of light and shadow, covering an area of about a mile, with tall walls.
"Whoosh!"
Within the city, the radiant light of the Fusang Divine Tree appeared high in the sky, its branches and leaves flourishing, releasing scorching waves of fire that melted the ice and snow across dozens of miles of land.
Li Weiyi hovered above the city's shimmering light and shadow, his hand sweeping out from afar. His magical energy and spiritual power combined, transforming into a gigantic golden crow of fire.
The golden crow spread its wings, which were hundreds of meters long, and its cry was extremely piercing.
Its three claws were sharp as it charged into the surging earth energy. The beasts around the Tai Sui Earth Lord were constantly torn apart by the Golden Crow's claws and scattered by its wings.
Within the golden eyes of the Tai Sui Earth Lord, the roar of ocean waves echoed, revealing a vast golden ocean.
From the golden ocean, an ancient treasure mirror flew out.
On the mirror, the scriptures flickered, shooting out a swastika-shaped weapon's original power, shattering the golden crow that Li Weiyi had condensed using the Six Like Burning Karma into fragments of fire rain.
Then, holding the golden mirror, he ascended into the ancient city's yellowish-brown light and shadow, intending to engage Li Weiyi in close combat.
All the martial artists present, whose cultivation had reached the fourth stage of the Longevity Realm, were shocked.
It's not because Tai Sui Di Jun possesses the Wanzi artifact.
Instead, they truly felt that the golden eyes of the Tai Sui Earth Lord contained a golden ocean, which was very mysterious and had powerful energy. They couldn't imagine how he could contain it.
"There's no suspense anymore; it must be the Demon Emperor's Holy Embryo. Li Weiyi must be filled with extreme regret right now, for he shouldn't have provoked such a formidable enemy. Now he faces a difficult choice: either lose face or lose his life."
Inamiya Shinden's voice rang out: "Since it is the Holy Embryo of the Demon Emperor, should the various realms of the human race take this opportunity to eliminate it?"
The Inamiya group was shocked; the true disciple was far too bold to speak his mind.
"The Heavenly Demon Queen is notoriously ruthless. Anyone who dares to harm her disciples will face the annihilation of their entire clan. In fact, the entire Living Realm might be wiped out." The newly promoted second-place scholar of the Sword Dao Imperial Court has appeared. He is a member of the royal family and is rumored to have grown up in the palace since childhood, possessing extremely noble blood.
Originally, members of the royal family could not become disciples of the Emperor in the Sword Dao Imperial Court. However, in this sixty-year cycle, talent has dwindled, and it is impossible to gather three true disciples, so they have no choice but to draw from the royal family.
Shen Ji, the strongest expert of the Du'e Temple, appeared and rushed to the western mountains: "If it is truly the Holy Embryo of the Demon Emperor, there must be top-level transcendent beings of the demon race accompanying him. If the older generation takes action to assassinate him, it may trigger a huge disaster."
"What is that? A book on the ground?" someone exclaimed.
Beneath the light and shadow of the distant Fusang Divine Tree, the primordial essence of the earth was surging with activity.
Li Weiyi stood on the city wall and threw out a piece of paper.
That single page released a sea of light, within which were densely packed characters containing boundless divine power. It shot out, not only blasting apart the myriad beasts summoned by the Earthly Lord of the Grand Duke of Jupiter, but also absorbing the earth's energy after the explosion.
The Book of Earth is not only one of the three great immortal books, but also an immortal artifact.
Of course, all seventy-two pages together make up a celestial artifact.
"The Earth Book: The Essence of the Earth's Origin has finally been published!"
Sensing the aura of the "Book of Earth" true scripture, Meng Quyi and Qing Xiang flew rapidly through Xiaoyao Capital, heading towards the western mountains.
Qingxiang said, "The chapter on the essence of the earth is one of the most important chapters of the Book of Earth. It can absorb the essence of the earth, improve the quality of the internal energy, and strengthen the foundation. It is a peerless chapter that can cultivate a continuous stream of young emperors and true geniuses. It has been lost for too many years, and I never expected it to reappear today."
The Qing family possesses a copy of the "Essence of the Earth's Origin," but it cannot compare to the true scripture. If they can cultivate a continuous stream of talented individuals, the family's strength will not decline but rather grow stronger.
Not to mention them, even Cheng Dun's gaze was turned westward, showing great interest in the "Book of the Earth".
"Very good! I didn't expect you to possess such a treasure. I will take it now and present it to the Demon Queen."
The ancient mirror in Tai Sui Di Jun's hand was radiating intense heat. The scriptures in the Wan Zi artifact, driven by immortal energy, emerged densely and collided with the text of the "Earth Book," tearing a path open.
"Whoosh!"
The Book of the Ground slashed through the air like a flying knife.
Behind the paper flows a long river of the earth's primordial energy, its power inexhaustible.
Tai Sui Di Jun threw out the ancient mirror, knocked away the "Book of Earth," and his figure ascended onto the illusory city image that Li Weiyi had conjured.
Before them stretched a vast expanse of lightning and thunder, with one hundred and eight pillars of lightning connecting heaven and earth. A young figure stood amidst the lightning, sword in hand.
A powerful sword intent erupted.
Nearly a hundred lightning sword beams surged toward Tai Sui Di Jun like a tidal wave.
Even with the power of the Earthly Lord of Tai Sui, his expression was solemn. He protected himself with his long black robe and used the two beams of crimson and gold in his eyes to clear a path, constantly shattering the flying lightning sword light as he approached Li Weiyi.
The Primate Robe is named after "Primate" because it is not only a protective imperial technique, but also an important outer shell for the Tai Sui Earthly Lord to maintain his human form.
Humans and dragons are both primates in the universe, the leaders of all creatures.
It is the direction of the transformation of all beings.
"A hundred swords converge, the fifth level of the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword!"
Nearly a hundred lightning sword beams converged above the head of the Tai Sui Earth Lord, transforming into a giant sword that shone with extreme brilliance, which slashed down.
Tai Sui Di Jun immediately used his movement technique to dodge.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, a strange crimson weapon flew out from his red eyes, which he grasped in his hand and swung towards the sky to block the giant lightning sword.
"boom!"
Thunder rumbled and shook the heavens and earth.
The fifth level of the Emperor Technique at its peak was terrifyingly powerful; even the phantom of the city that Li Weiyi himself had conjured was shattered by a single sword strike.
The Tai Sui Earth Lord's eardrum was damaged by the thunder, and he was slashed by a sword and sent flying several miles away, leaving extremely deep ravines in the ground.
His arms were charred black, and several of his long, white, hair-like whiskers on his head had been severed, dripping with blood.
"Was Tai Sui Di Jun injured? Li Weiyi's strength is quite terrifying."
"What Li Weiyi has mastered is definitely the imperial technique of the Ancient Thunderclap Sect, the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword, and he has already cultivated it to the fifth level of mastery."
"These two are finally getting serious; they both have extraordinary trump cards. The Book of Earth and a fifth-level mastered imperial technique—who among martial artists of the same realm could withstand them?"
"Look, what is that crimson weapon in the hand of the Grand Duke of Jupiter? Why does it exude such a terrifying aura?"
The truly top experts present all began to worry about Li Weiyi.
The fifth level of imperial techniques is undoubtedly the most important means of victory, but such power was actually withstood by the Tai Sui Earth Lord, who only managed to cut off a few hair-like strands of flesh.
The reason for this is that the crimson weapon in the hands of the Tai Sui Earth Lord absorbed some of the lightning and sword energy.
"The Tai Sui Divine Iron?" Lu Jingchen asked.
These words caused an uproar at the foot of Qiaoshan Mountain.
“That’s right, both the Tai Sui Divine Iron and the Golden Sea Treasure Mirror are treasures of the former Tai Sui Earth Immortal. The Tai Sui Divine Iron can be called a rough prototype of a supreme magic weapon, as heavy as a mountain, and it has nurtured a weapon spirit. The Tai Sui Earth Lord must have fed it with Tai Sui blood, otherwise it would take until the seventh level of the Longevity Realm to lift it.” A transcendent being appeared and gave everyone a positive answer.
"If the Tai Sui Divine Iron is so heavy, wouldn't it be enough to kill Li Weiyi with a single blow?"
The one who was detached said, "More or less, but it has to hit the target and make a solid impact. With such a heavy force at his disposal, Tai Sui Di Jun's movement speed will definitely be affected, and he may not be able to crush Li Weiyi."
The human race naturally hoped that Li Weiyi would defeat Tai Sui Di Jun, and that a demon beast would not be allowed to show off at the most important event for the new generation of humans.
Li Weiyi is either defeated or dead.
We must also push forward the truth and fight it back.
The young man in the Tai Chi Bagua robe and carrying a wooden sword muttered to himself with a strange expression, "I didn't expect it to really be him. How did he end up in Lizhou back then?"
This young Taoist priest was one of the people from the Central Plains Immortal Dynasty who had come to worship their ancestors in the Longshan Mountains of Lizhou at the beginning of the year. He had seen Li Weiyi kill the Taiyin Sect's underworld disciple from afar.
However, they only stayed in Lizhou briefly and did not know who Li Weiyi was.
Even though Li Weiyi has become quite famous in Xiaoyaojing recently, he has only heard of her name and has not learned much about her.
He and the young prince Yu Jingxuan were only interested in Gu Zhenxiang, Shan Xianzhi, and Tang Wanzhou. It would be good to have opportunities to spar with the others, but it wasn't something to regret not encountering them.
The group from the Central Immortal Dynasty stayed in Xiaoyao Capital to wait for the "Longevity Ranking" and defeat the number one on the Southern Ranking to demonstrate the strength of the Central Plains.
But things are different now!
Countless thoughts arose in the young Taoist's mind.
Nangong had been paying attention to the young Taoist priest. Hearing him mutter to himself, he stepped forward and asked, "Taoist priest, have you been to Lizhou?"
The young Taoist priest regained his composure and, wanting to glean information from Nangong, nodded in acknowledgment. He then asked, "What is Li Weiyi's background? Who is his master? Is he truly just a disciple of the Crown Prince?"
Nangong was bewildered. This person had been to Lizhou, how could he not know Li Weiyi's background?
Is Li Weiyi really that unknown in Lizhou?
"Does the Daoist priest not know that he is a hermit of the Jiuli tribe in Lizhou? He became the successor of the Crown Prince's Daoist teachings later," Nangong said.
The young Taoist was naturally filled with mixed emotions. How could a young powerhouse like Li Weiyi be cultivated by the impoverished Jiuli tribe?
If he really came from Lizhou, that would be quite frightening.
Perhaps it is related to the "unapproachable being" mentioned by the emperor.
The young Taoist priest made up his mind that once the battle between the human and the demon was over, he would immediately conduct a detailed investigation into Li Weiyi, as the seniors of the Immortal Dynasty would likely be very interested.
