Book 11 Chapter 21

Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman

Hua Yan was not a reckless person, otherwise he would not have been sent by Yu Huang to handle such an important matter.

Having seen how Zong Jue had proudly reacted, as well as his facial expression, Hua Yan instead had an abrupt thought in his mind, “Don’t tell me that this Zong Jue still has a treasure he had yet to use?”

Hua Yan began to consider at a shocking speed within his mind, “Comparing personal capabilities, me and this Zong Jue are not that much different. What I am relying on is a Finest Grade Immortal Sword, a Finest Grade Immortal Battle Armor, various Immortal Elixirs and Talismans. If this Zong Jue really has such a powerful treasure, then victory will be uncertain.” At that moment, Hua Yan instead hesitated in his imposing stance.

Demonstrating his authority required him to be victorious.

If he had attempted to strengthen his influence but instead got defeated by Zong Jue, then he, Hua Yan, would have had completely lost all dignity.

“For a person to be fiercely proud, he must definitely be confident in something. That is especially much so for someone holding a respected status. Even though he had already seen some of my underlying capabilities, he still remained as audacious as before. Without a treasure, he would not behave as such,” Hua Yan was very certain within his heart. At the same time, the target to demonstrate his powers began to change inside Hua Yan’s mind.

Hua Yan’s guess was not wrong.

Zong Jue indeed had a treasure which he had never used, and that was a treasure which Senior Lan had once bestowed upon Zong Jue. That was also the reason why Zong Jue was very nice towards Qin Yu, and the reason why he was very respectful towards Senior Lan.

Although Zong Jue did not want to use the final and ultimate move, but if he was pushed to the limit, he would naturally use it.

That was why, Zong Jue dared to be that audacious.

If he did not have the capabilities and still behaved in such a contemptuous manner, then should he be defeated, he would lose even more of his standing.

That was why — Fang Tian did not behave arrogantly, because his only reliance was the ‘Dragon Pearl of Inheritance’, and the Dragon Pearl of Inheritance belonged to the entire Dragon Clan, and not him alone. Moreover, Fang Tian did not have sufficient confidence on whether he would win against Hua Yan even after using the Dragon Pearl of Inheritance.

In his mind, Hua Yan’s target to exhibit his strength instead became ‘Fang Tian’.

“Haha–” Sword Immortal Hua Yan suddenly burst out laughing towards the sky above. The laughter sounds became increasingly louder, to the extent that people with low martial powers felt a sense of dizziness in their heads. Suddenly, Hua Yan weakened his laughter, and coldly laid his eyes on both Fang Tian and Zong Jue, “Demonstrate my authority. Humph. Me, a distinguished Immortal Realm’s Emissary, still requires demonstration of my authority?”

A statement of arrogance, yet that made all the Loose Immortals present to unwittingly respect Hua Yan even more.

“The reason why I am finding the both of you now is not to demonstrate my authority, but to find out why did the both of you destroy Qingxu Sect’s Ten Develoments Illusive Array. The Xiuxian Practitioners on the Tenglong Continent belongs to my Xiandao side. As the Immortal Realm’s Emissary, I, of course have the obligation to protect the interests of our Xiuxian Practitioners’ sects. I, Hua Yan, hereby say, if anyone dares to go against Xiuxian Practitioners’ sects, means going against me, Hua Yan, and also going against the sword within my hand!”

Hua Yan’s voice was clear, and everyone on Qingxu Mountain heard it distinctly.

Immediately, the faces of all the Loose Immortals revealed delighted smiles, to the extent that more than ten thousand Loose Immortals instantly began cheering in unison.

“Yet Fang Tian and Zong Jue, both of you exploited your strong capabilities and destroyed Qingxu Sect’s Ten Developments Illusive Array. Which is why I, Hua Yan, came to look for the both of you to ascertain about the matter. Can I not do that?” Hua Yan inquired righteously in a clear voice.

Fang Tian and Zong Jue, however, had cold expressions.

“Big Brother, this Hua Yan can really speak, his words can even turn black into white. He obviously wanted to demonstrate his authority, but instead said it as if it was for glorified reasons,” Hou Fei unhappily said to Qin Yu using Sound Transfer.

Qin Yu replied using Spiritual Awareness and Sound Transfer, “Do not worry, Zong Jue and Fang Tian are two invincible existences of the Mortal Realm, how can the both of them be even stumped by this problem.”

Indeed — Fang Tian began voicing out.

“Hua Yan,” Fang Tian’s facial expression was serious. “No matter if it’s the Mortal Realm or the Ascended Realms, I think only the strong will be respected. Since only the strong will be respected, that person supporting you from behind — Yu Huang can then become the leader of one of the largest factions in the Immortal Realm.”

“Only the strong will be respected. To both Brother Zong Jue and me, Qingxu Sect is only a small sect. If we wish to step on them, we will step on them. Therefore, today we had stepped on them. What? You are not pleased? Hua Yan, you are already a Golden Immortal, not a hot-blooded youth who had just begun martial cultivation, you won’t be an idiot and start sprouting about whatever righteousness right? Those words are only meant for bluffing children,” said Fang Tian while smirking. “If you want to demonstrate your authority then just say so, and don’t sprout so much nonsense. Having said that many glorified words, even I get goosebumps all over my body after hearing them, to the point that I look down on you even more.”

Immediately, the Dragon Clan’s martial experts concurred.

“What the Patriarch said was correct. If you want to make a move, then be decisive. Saying that many glorified words, humph, what kind of farce is that?” Black Dragon Ao Xu stated while sneering.

The Dragon Clan was proud and haughty.

Faced against the Dragon Clan’s insults, Hua Yan only chuckled, as if he was not in the slightest bit angry.

“I did not say anything about whatever righteousness, I only said — I am the Emissary of the Immortal Realm, and they are people of the Xiuxian Practitioners’ sects. They support me, so I naturally have to protect them. Whoever dares to raise a hand against them, I will have to cleave off that hand.” Hua Yan’s voice began to turn cold, “Dragon Clan’s Patriarch, do you understand?”

Fang Tian simpered. “If you want to make a move then you had better hurry.”

Hua Yan smiled brilliantly. “Since you cannot wait, I want to see just how capable you are to dare oppress and insult my side of the Immortal’s sects.”

Suddenly — similar to a blooming lotus, Hua Yan was entirely surrounded by fragments of Sword Energy, his entire person was like a sword raised towards the Heavens. Hua Yan’s right hand slowly grasped at the sword hilt behind his back, and he slowly began to unsheathe the sword towards a direction outside. While in the process of unsheathing his sword, the Sword Energy began to rise in intensity at a terrifying pace.

Fang Tian tilted his head upwards, and a dragon’s roar echoed forth from within his mouth.

At the same time, Fang Tian disappeared, and a huge golden coloured dragon with a length that exceeded a thousand meters appeared, encircling above Qingxu Mountain. That huge and noble aura that accompanied the large Gold Dragon’s breathing naturally diffused out. With the exception of a few people, almost everyone present felt a terrifying pressure.

“Seven Stars Sword Verse, Opening Stance!” chanted a low voice. The right hand which was originally still unsheathing the sword at a slow pace, immediately disappeared. Simultaneously, a brilliant and keen flash of light magnificently arced forth, and slashed precisely towards the direction of the large Gold Dragon.

*Pu.*

With a casual swipe, the claw of the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon had entirely broken the opening stance.

“Hua Yan, do you mean to say that you can handle me solely from using an opening stance? Aren’t you getting too cocky of yourself?” Fang Tian’s voice directly resonated forth from the mouth of the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon.

“All right, since you want a taste of my powers, I will also not show any more mercy,” Hua Yang lightly smiled.

Hua Yan could be seen straightening his body upright, his entire person seemed like a single sharp sword. Tens of millions of sword silhouettes began flowing forth from the Immortal Sword within his hand.

“Seven Stars Sword Verse, Alkaid — Shadow!”

As if they were dreamlike illusions, every single sword silhouette completely filled the sky within moments. Dense. Endless. All the Loose Immortals below felt their hearts palpitating, because everyone could feel that even a single fragment of Sword Energy could easily kill them.

The Five-Clawed Gold Dragon Fang Tian, too, felt that this stance of Hua Yan’s should be stronger, and that it was just a foreshadow of the actual attack. Suddenly, the entire body of the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon began radiating crystal rays of golden light. As the golden radiance accumulated, the entire Five-Clawed Gold Dragon became as dazzling as the sun.

“Seven Stars Sword Verse, Dubhe — Mystic!” Hua Yan declared softly.

The Immortal Sword in Hua Yan’s hands flew off towards the sky, and the countless sword silhouettes which were already in the sky abruptly began to rotate. After a complete rotation, each of those sword silhouettes had increased to three times of their original size. After each of the sword silhouettes had expanded to its maximum size, it immediately shrunk into an extremely small size before finally being completely absorbed into the Immortal Sword.

The Immortal Sword faintly glowed and gave off a dull gleam, emanating forth a terrifying and heavy atmosphere.

“Fang Tian, that person is about to use his ultimate move,” Zong Jue, who was at the bottom, secretly warned Fang Tian.

To confront that technique, the radiance encompassing the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon began to intensify further. Suddenly, the radiance of the sun in the sky had been concealed by that intensified glow. At the same time, the body of the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon instantly shrunk. A length of more than a thousand meters became slightly more than ten meters long.

Below, Zong Jue’s eyes glinted. “The fifth claw of the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon!”

At that time, the small Gold Dragon which was slightly more than ten meters long actually had a fifth claw. The location of that fifth dragon claw was at the abdomen. Within moments, that dragon claw became larger and longer, the entire dragon claw shone brilliantly.

Hua Yan’s Immortal Sword and the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon’s fifth dragon claw.

Collided directly.

Both people were sufficiently confident in their own ultimate techniques, and the end result was…

The Immortal Sword shook, while the Five-Clawed Gold Dragon instead flew back and its radiance flickered at the same time. Instantly, the slightly more than ten meters long small dragon once again became a more than thousand meters long huge Gold Dragon.

“Even with the prestige of relying on a Finest Grade Immortal Sword, you can only amount to such,” Fang Tian’s cold words resounded forth from his golden and huge dragon maw.

At that moment, Hua Yan felt astonished in his heart.

Super Divine Beasts definitely deserved to be called Super Divine Beasts. Even though he had only surmounted his Twelfth Tribulation, he actually dared to use his own claw and clashed head on against a Finest Grade Immortal Equipment. Although he had failed in the end, he had still managed to block Hua Yan’s Finest Grade Immortal Sword. The indomitablility of a Super Divine Beast’s body was really frighteningly powerful.

“Although I was able to end with an advantageous outcome, defeating him will require quite some time.” Hua Yan silently considered in his mind, “If I want to exhibit my strength, I need to achieve victory as soon as possible. If it is delayed for too long, there will be not much effect in trying to demonstrate my authority.”

Hua Yan’s heart turned ruthless.

He could then be seen turning over one hand. A piece of purple coloured sealed talisman appeared on Hua Yan’s palm.

“Fang Tian, you think that depending on yourself for being a Five-Clawed Gold Dragon is impressive? Then sample the taste of my Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman,” energy gathered in Hua Yan’s hand and poured into that purple sealed talisman. Suddenly, the purple talisman began emitting arcs of electricity, and then soared into the air and flew towards Fang Tian.

From merely a single look, Fang Tian’s facial expression changed drastically.

“Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman.”

By using a restrictive seal in the Sealed Talisman, it’s powers were a lot weaker as compared to when used by the martial expert himself. Since that Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman was personally crafted by Yu Huang himself, if the user was Yu Huang, any single Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman can easily kill a Ninth Tier Golden Immortal.

However Hua Yan’s capabilities were too weak, the Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman that he had activated, could at most kill an ordinary Third Tier or Fourth Tier Golden Immortal.

Ordinary Third Tier or Fourth Tier Golden Immortal, which was also comparable to a First Tier Golden Immortal Sword Immortal. When used against Fang Tian, it was still acceptable.

Faced against that life or death situation, Fang Tian swallowed the Dragon Pearl of Inheritance in one gulp. At the same time, a dragon’s moan could be heard. A thousand metered large Gold Dragon transformed into a slightly over ten meters small dragon. Although the body’s size had became small, Fang Tian’s defensive capabilities had increased by an unknown amount.

*Hong!*

The Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman disintegrated. Bolts of lightning ruthlessly struck Fang Tian’s body. Regardless of how Fang Tian attempted to dodge or hide, every single lightning bolt seemed as if they possessed consciousness and relentlessly chased and struck Fang Tian’s body. Merely within a blink of an eye, a hundred bolts of lightning had struck.

“Hundred Pulverising-Thunder.”

Shattered dragon scales, blood flowed forth.

Fang Tian immediately transformed into human form, the Dragon Pearl of Inheritance within his body released an enormous amount of energy which rapidly recovered the body’s injuries.

“Luckily it was Hundred Pulverising-Thunder. If it had been Thousand Pulverising-Thunder, I think that I would already be finished,” Fang Tian secretly relaxed a breath in his mind.

That Pulverising-Thunder Technique‘s Verse, was an extremely powerful offensive technique’s Verse which belonged to the Immortal Realm.

Separated into Pulverising-Thunder, Ten Pulverising-Thunder, Hundred Pulverising-Thunder, and Thousand Pulverising-Thunder for a total of four tiers. The strength of Thousand Pulverising-Thunder was simply too powerful. Even for Yu Huang, unless only when faced against martial experts of a similar level and having to fight to the death, would he rarely use ‘Thousand Pulverising-Thunder‘.

Actually, Hundred Pulverising-Thunder was already very powerful. If a martial expert were to directly perform an attack using Hundred Pulverising-Thunder, he could easily handle ordinary Third Tier and Fourth Tier Mystic Immortals.

It was just that, when Hundred Pulverising-Thunder was assimilated into a sealed talisman, it’s strength was reduced to ten percent.

That ten percent was also sufficient to handle Eighth Tier or Ninth Tier Golden Immortals, but Hundred Pulverising-Thunder also required a person to activate it. The more highly skilled the person activating it, the more energy the activated talisman would have. Hua Yan was only a First Tier Golden Immortal, the result of that activation was only close to ten percent of that ten percent.

That was why Fang Tian was only seriously wounded.

“Hua Yan.”

A cold voice rang forth. Zong Jue appeared beside Fang Tian, and coldly laid his eyes on Hua Yan.

“Hua Yan, you are also an Immortal Realm’s Emissary, but currently can only rely on Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman to injure others, how really laughable to the extreme,”  Zong Jue stood out at that point of time. After all, Fang Tian was already seriously injured.

Although Fang Tian was seriously wounded, he did not lower his head, and similarly coldly gazed at Hua Yan, “Hua Yan, that Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman was also a first-rate sealed talisman due to its power. If an expert were to use it, he could definitely defeat Eighth Tier or Ninth Tier Golden Immortals. However, your capabilities were too weak, and was obviously unable to completely release forth it’s sealed attack. You could only injure me, but could not kill me.”

“Oh, really?” Hua Yan lightly smiled.

Immediately, Fang Tian and Zong Jue’s facial expressions changed drastically.

That was because, at that moment, five or six pieces of Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talismans had actually appeared on one of Hua Yan’s palms.

One piece was already enough to seriously injure Fang Tian, so Fang Tian and Zong Jue definitely could not handle five or six pieces.

“As the Immortal Realm’s Emissary, how can I only have a single piece of Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talisman? Although Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talismans are slightly more precious, but to me, they do not count for anything. If the both of you really wish to continue the battle, I will also not mind. Isn’t it just using a few pieces of Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talismans? I do not care. I have a lot of such toys.”

Hua Yan said lightly.

Fang Tian and Zong Jue glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.

How ostentatious.

Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talismans. Those kind of talismans were also extremely precious in the Immortal Realm, and even ordinary Mystic Immortals were estimated to not possess many. It was only that the person behind Hua Yan was Yu Huang, who was one of the few most powerful people in the Immortal Realm. In Yu Huang’s point of view, refining Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talismans was indeed very easy. It might be that only Thousand Pulverising-Thunder Talismans will be able to make Yu Huang’s heart ache. As for Hundred Pulverising-Thunder Sealed Talismans, Yu Huang really did not care much for them.

“A good chance.”

At that moment, behind Zong Jue, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up, “If there is nothing wrong with the message about the Sword Immortal Puppet which Uncle Lan had left behind earlier, then this is the best chance to demonstrate my authority. Moreover, looking at how ostentatious that Sword Immortal Hua Yan is, he definitely should have quite a few Finest Grade Elemental Spirit Stones.”

At the side of the Loose Immortals, everyone wore delighted facial expressions while looking respectfully at Sword Immortal Hua Yan. Yet, during the time when the side of the Chaotic Astral Sea and Dragon Clan were feeling helpless, a voice rang forth —

“Oh, Sword Immortal Hua Yan? Haha, Fellow Practitioner Hua Yan, I am Lan Feng.”

Following a clear and loud laughter, a callous man bearing an Immortal Sword on his back appeared out of thin air above Qingxu Mountain. That man was Sword Immortal Lan Feng.
