Chapter 1161 Besiege a Half-step Gold Immortal

Translator: podao001

The blunt words from Brightmoon utterly ignited Ta Luotian’s fury. The cultivators from the Boundless Corps were always very domineering. Even the lowest of soldiers would display an incomparable level of arrogance. However, even though the Boundless Corps had the necessary criteria to be arrogant, this was not the Celestial Longevity Plane and Ta Luotian was no ordinary person.

Since they had decided to tear away all pretences, he would simply have to take action.

“Attack!” Ta Luotian waved his hand and tens of Heavenly Immortals that he had carefully handpicked swarmed forward. Some sealed up the surrounding space and some brought out their magic treasures to fire out the attacks that they had prepared beforehand. Some even released poisonous smoke into their surroundings.

“We’ve been waiting for you!” Brightmoon harrumphed and the area of space before her shook. The great killing array that they had prepared beforehand activated.

Boom!

The battle began. It was a very intense battle and some cultivators were killed instantly.

Ta Luotian did not take action. Instead, he remained behind the attackers to oversee them while his divine sense spread out to search for clues of Chen Feng’s whereabouts.

“Heavensdao, should we take action? These fellows are fighting in our territory.” Dao Monarch Hell’s face was somewhat ugly to behold.

“Let’s observe the situation first. These fellows from the Celestial Planes are not to be trifled with,” Dao Monarch Heavensdao replied.

“I’m worried that their fight would destroy the Primordial Mountain Range.”

“Don’t get so antsy. Just look, the half-step Gold Immortal on the enemy side still hasn’t attacked yet.”

“Since when did the Tower Corps dare offend our Boundless Corps?” It was then that Tun Ri’s group finally returned. The moment they arrived, they attacked. Instantly, the cultivators that Ta Luotian brought over were left either battered or killed, their figures strewn all over the place. Additionally, Tun Ri’s group did not hold back. They were actually thinking of killing all of the attackers. That was particularly true of Sha Xian. The killing intent that he had been accumulating for so many years burst out so suddenly that it terrified even Ta Luotian.

It's Sha Xian! No, that’s just a clone. When Ta Luotian first saw Sha Xian, he was shocked. Next, however, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although it hadn’t been all that long since Sha Xian advanced to the half-step Gold Immortal stage, the thought of having to fight Sha Xian brought Ta Luotian a slight feeling of fear.

In fact, Ta Luotian’s cultivation base was already quite good. He cultivated the Longevity Sealing Technique and the Soul Subduing Mantra’s Soul Lock Mantra. But in the face of Sha Xian’s killing aura, he was not too confident in emerging victorious. His opponent was willing to put his life on the line, but Ta Luotian did not.

“Ta Luotian, why are you here?” Surprisingly, Sha Xian took the initiative to charge towards Ta Luotian. At the same time, a sword beam stabbed towards Ta Luotian from an impossible angle.

“You attacked me first here!” Ta Luotian snickered. With a flick of his finger, the sword beam was shattered.

“Sha Xian, if this is your main body, I would have some reservations about this. But as a minor clone, you dare come after me? Are you committing suicide here?”

“Is that so? My main body will be arriving very soon. Additionally, Lei Long and Jin Wu are on the way as well. For you to be choosing this time to jump out, if this isn’t suicide, I don’t know what is. What a buffoon!” Sha Xian sneered.

“What?”

Ta Luotian was shocked, but when he saw the smile in Sha Xian’s eyes, he promptly realized that he was in trouble. A sword beam struck his chest, seemingly having pierced through him.

“Ta Luotian, is this all you’ve got? This is too disappointing! If my main body comes, I can probably kill you off instantly!” Sha Xian’s figure moved about in a fleeting manner. At the same time, he kept firing barbed words at Ta Luotian to provoke him.

“Look! All the subordinates you brought over have died. Next up, it’s your turn. You are too stupid. Is Young Master Longevity Celestial someone that you can go against? Just one thought from our Commander is enough to easily wipe you out!” Sha Xian said, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Over 100 astral blades converged into a torrent of power, which engulfed Ta Luotian. Tian Wu and Da Feng were already charging over. It was as Sha Xian said earlier, all the subordinates that Ta Luotian brought over had died.

However, Ta Luotian, who was in a state of turmoil, suddenly calmed down. His face became as still as a boulder and the corners of his lips curled into a derisive grin.

“I’ve always wanted to kill you fellows, but I could never find the chance. This time, you fellows are the ones who chose to serve yourselves up on a silver platter!” Faint golden light radiated around Ta Luotian and all the astral blades were shattered by the golden light before it could make contact with his body.

“The one serving himself up in a silver platter is you!” Like a canopy flying through the sky, the Divine Shadowless Sword in Da Feng’s hand swept forward.

“Divine Shadowless Sword. A decent divine sword,” Ta Luotian stretched his hand out and grabbed the sword. Next, a clump of light emerged from his hand to enter the sword.

In response, Da Feng had to retreat, the divine sword in his hand becoming dim before losing all of its light. All of its power had been sealed up, turning it into an ordinary sword.

“A sealing technique.” Da Feng was quick to understand. Keeping the Divine Shadowless Sword, sharp claws grew from his fingers. A simple wave of the claws left sharp blades all across the sky.

“Soul Lock!”

Ta Luotian shouted and an invisible soundwave began sweeping outwards. Affected by it, Da Feng’s figure froze before falling to the ground.

“Careful, it’s the Soul Lock Mantra!” A full moon pierced through the sky. But before it could approach Ta Luotian, it broke into pieces.

Sha Xian had also been forced to back away. Along the way, he picked up Da Feng. The sword in his hand slashed again and again, but he was incapable of stopping the assault of the Soul Lock Mantra.

“Humph!”

That said, Sha Xian was a half-step Gold Immortal, after all. Although this body of his was only a clone, his divine sense was extremely strong. Even after he was struck by the Soul Lock Mantra, he could still back away. Only, his speed had fallen considerably.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Tian Wu’s attack had arrived. He fired out streams of light from his whole body to form a massive astral blade. Up to 100 metres long, this astral blade shone with a metallic black lustre as it slashed towards Ta Luotian.

“Seal!”

Ta Luotian extended one finger to jab forward. Space shook and power converged to take form. A transparent ‘seal’ character flashed out and the massive astral blade halted in mid-air, but it did not immediately break apart.

Bang!

Tun Ri’s battle lance struck Ta Luotian’s body. Golden light flashed and Ta Luotian was sent tumbling only to quickly stabilize himself. It would appear that he had not taken any damage from that.

“Da Feng, are you alright?” Sha Xian asked, a note of concern in his voice.

“I’m fine. This fellow’s Soul Lock Mantra is truly formidable. Presently, half of my soul power is suppressed and even the Divine Shadowless Sword cannot be used for now,” Da Feng said with a wry smile.

“No matter how powerful a Heavenly Immortal may be, facing a half-step Gold Immortal is a headache. That half a step is a difference between Heaven and Earth. The Gold Immortal stage represents agelessness. A greater power and ageless abilities. However, this fellow is a little unlucky. We may be able to kill him off today.” Sha Xian’s eyes had turned blood-red.

“You don’t do anything crazy! We have so many people on our side. By working together, we will surely be able to finish him off.” Da Feng could seemingly tell what Sha Xian planned on doing.

“Hah! Don’t worry, guys. This is just a clone. Even if I lose it, I can just create a new one in the future.” While Sha Xian spoke, the bloody light in his eyes became so concentrated that blood could practically drip out from them. A fire burned within him as a formidable power kept growing and churning.

“Later on, you guys will need to help out and entangle him. I will deal a critical blow.” The smile on Sha Xian’s face became somewhat devilish.

“Alright, you’ve got guts! Don’t worry, we aren’t weaklings either.” Tun Ri felt somewhat displeased at the fact that his earlier attack had failed to wound Ta Luotian. That said, he was also aware that a half-step Gold Immortal was not that easy to deal with. Seeing Sha Xian utilize a secret technique, he opened his mouth to spit out a pitch-black bead. The black bead was devoid of light and energy fluctuations, a most ordinary-looking object. But after Tun Ri brought out the black bead, the eyelids of Sha Xian and Da Feng, who were beside him, involuntarily twitched.

“To think that you would decide to use this item. You sure are willing to bring out the good stuff,” Da Feng said.

“As long as we can finish off Ta Luotian, even wasting a few Blazing Suns would be worth it. Worst comes to worst, I can just devour some more when killing our enemies!” Tun Ri didn’t care. Next, he tossed the bead known as ‘Blazing Sun’ to Sha Xian. His actions, though, caused Sha Xian, a character who could kill people wantonly, to flinch.

“I’ll leave it to you. Whether or not we can kill him off will depend on you,” Tun Ri said with a smile.

“You be careful. If that thing accidentally blows up, even our side will be incapable of running away.” Da Feng turned to give Tun Ri a glance.

“Don’t worry, without my divine sense’s instructions, it will not blow up.”

As they were making their preparations, Ta Luotian was also secretly adjusting his breath. Although Tun Ri’s earlier attack had seemingly not caused him any series injuries, his opponents, Sha Xian and the others, were all elites amongst Heavenly Immortals. Fighting them all had still given Ta Luotian quite the feeling of pressure.

As for Dao Monarch Heavensdao and the others, they were secretly keeping an eye on the situation. Back then, when Ta Luotian attacked, they had hesitated somewhat. In the end, they chose not to take action. In their opinion, Tun Ri and the others were more than capable of dealing with this. It would not be too late to take action after they failed to stop this fellow.

“Heavensdao, what do you think?” Dao Monarch Hell suddenly asked.

“Regardless, our Six Daos Sword Faction can no longer distance ourselves from this issue. I only hope that Chen Feng can safely come out, otherwise it won’t be long before our Six Daos Sword Faction is wiped out.” Dao Monarch Heavensdao sighed.

“Hey, I’m asking you about this battle, not about Chen Feng!” Dao Monarch Hell said, pursing his lips to the side.

“That half-step Gold Immortal is a goner,” Dao Monarch Heavensdao said coolly.

“How are you so sure?” Dao Monarch Hell wondered.

“Don’t forget, Dark Night has not appeared at all. He has probably hidden himself, waiting for an opportune moment to attack.”

“That’s wrong. Dark Night is already a half-step Gold Immortal. With the dragon spear, War Butcher, he can kill off that half-step Gold Immortal in open battle.”

“Enough, let’s not talk about it anymore. The battle has begun once more.”

Five cultivators, Tun Ri, Tian Wu, Da Feng, Sha Xian and Brightmoon, surrounded Ta Luotian while Tie Zhen led ten high-level Heavenly Immortals to form a battle formation to attack from a distance. As for the other Heavenly Immortals, they warily stood guard over their surroundings.

“Ta Luotian, you’ll surely die today. If you run away now, you might be able to preserve a slight hope of surviving!” Sha Xian’s voice drifted around while Tun Ri and the other three unleashed a flurry of violent attacks. They were even utilizing techniques that would end in mutual destruction. Seeing the ferocious expressions on their faces and sensing the madness in their attacks, Ta Luotian finally began feeling fearful.

However, he was a lofty half-step Gold Immortal. When facing Heavenly Immortals, even the thought of running away cannot possibly appear within his mind.
