Mad Self-Destruction (4K)
The sharp Sword Qi grazed Lu Changsheng's face. Xie Dongjun's Sword Domain covered an area of thousands of miles, creating a sea of swords everywhere.
This was Lu Changsheng's first encounter with a renowned master from the Heavenly Court.
Although Xie Dongjun had already betrayed the Heavenly Court, Xie Dongjun had mastered a large number of the Cloud Tower Palace's Supreme Lore before being exiled by the Heavenly Court.
The Swordsmanship of the Cloud Tower Palace is renowned even in the Heavenly Court.
Xie Dongjun made his move, his Sword Qi energy crisscrossing the heavens and the earth.
Even with his Yin-Yang Sacred Body, the Yao Realm Divine Son Young Master Wang was still killed by Xie Dongjun.
"Die."
Xie Dongjun's Sword Qi locked onto Lu Changsheng and Ji Xuan, and a million Sword Qi down, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
The Sword Qi was so terrifying that even the heavens and earth trembled.
The Human Emperor Cauldron and the Primordial Chaos Bell, one Human Race Law Treasure and the other Demon Race Law Treasure, grew larger in the wind, blocking the two people. Golden and purple light intertwined, shielding their respective masters from the Sword Qi.
Lu Changsheng and Ji Xuan continuously channeled their True Qi into the Law Treasure, attempting to neutralize Xie Dongjun's sword strike.
The immortal Immortal Sword used by Xie Dongjun was no ordinary weapon either. Coupled with the vast True Qi of the Great Perfection God King, the power of the Sword Domain was breathtaking.
"Faced with absolute power, your resistance is futile."
Xie Dongjun's expression was cold and stern. He channeled his True Qi into the Immortal Sword, and a million Sword Qi, like meteors that World-Destroying, swept across the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Sword Qi pierced through, the Human Emperor Cauldron and the Primordial Chaos Bell trembled violently, like a lone boat in a storm.
The Human Emperor Cauldron was already damaged, and under the endless attacks of Sword Qi, the Human Emperor Cauldron's body developed more and more cracks.
Ji Xuan's Primordial Chaos Bell was also in bad shape, with sword marks appearing on its body.
The Primordial Chaos Bell had only recently become Dao Artifact, and it was still struggling to withstand this level of sword intent.
Ji Xuan's face flushed red, and a large amount of True Qi surged out as she tried her best to stabilize the Primordial Chaos Bell.
"The strength of the experts on the God King Ranking is terrifying... No wonder Young Master Wang was killed."
Lu Changsheng experienced firsthand the power of the unparalleled masters on the God King Ranking.
Xie Dongjun's willingness to accept the mission to assassinate the Yao Realm's Divine Son is enough to demonstrate his strength.
Lu Changsheng took out the Taiyin Goddess Talisman from his bosom.
He wasn't sure if the Taiyin Goddess Talisman could deal with Great Perfection God King, but at this moment he could only do everything in his power to turn the tide.
It just so happens that Lu Changsheng recently transferred his cultivation to Ji Xuan, and the system returned a large amount of his cultivation. The Taiyin Goddess Talisman absorbed a lot of his cultivation, Taiyin Goddess Talisman can be used again.
Lu Changsheng separated a Divine Sense and began to activate the Taiyin Goddess Talisman.
The puppet inside the Taiyin Goddess Talisman opened its eyes.
"Fools, two Initial God Kings, relying on external forces like Medicinal Pills, think they're a match for Xie Dongjun? Even I'm no match for Xie Dongjun. We're finally about to complete the mission; otherwise, things could get complicated and troublesome."
The other poisoned assassin suppressed the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison within his body while keeping an eye on the battle.
As Xie Dongjun's partner, he knew Xie Dongjun's abilities better than anyone else.
The top 100 Peerless Genius on the God King Ranking, under normal circumstances, could even defeat two ordinary Great Perfection God Kings, let alone two Initial God Kings.
Suddenly, the assassin's expression changed drastically. Amidst Xie Dongjun's overwhelming Sword Qi, a completely different Sword Qi, like the light of dawn, pierced the sky, broke through Xie Dongjun's layers of Sword Qi, and finally pierced through Xie Dongjun's body.
"How is that possible!"
The assassin got goosebumps all over.
Just now, the instant that Sword-Ray appeared, he felt a chill down his spine.
Even Great Perfection God King would be in danger of perishing if he were not careful when facing this Sword Qi.
"Puff!"
Xie Dongjun coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking dejected as he stared in disbelief at the hole in his chest.
The other party has many tricks up their sleeve, including this one that can threaten him.
"The Taiyin Goddess?"
Xie Dongjun noticed a Divine Maiden appearing in front of Lu Changsheng, holding a three-foot- Long Sword.
The Sword Qi just now was activated by the Taiyin Goddess.
The Sword Qi came too fast; even with Xie Dongjun's strength, he couldn't react in time.
"How... how do you possess the physical body of the Taiyin Goddess?"
Xie Dongjun couldn't believe that the assassination target was also the physical puppet of the Taiyin Goddess.
The Taiyin Goddess was once a figure in the Immortal Realm second only to the Human Race Great Emperors; her strength was beyond question.
Even if only a shell remains, as long as there is enough True Qi to activate it, it can still exert some of the strength it had before birth.
Xie Dongjun was injured and coughed incessantly, causing the Sword Domain to gradually disintegrate.
The Taiyin Goddess severely injured Xie Dongjun a single move, shattering his Sword Domain, and causing his divine radiance to vanish.
The Sword Art she used was something Lu Changsheng had never seen before. Because this sword was so astonishing, it exhausted the True Qi the Taiyin Goddess had accumulated over a long period of time with just one strike, causing it to retreat back into the Talisman.
"The Taiyin Goddess is truly powerful..."
Lu Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat.
If even the Taiyin Goddess Talisman cannot break the deadlock, then this time the odds are against us.
Although the Taiyin Goddess Talisman's sword strike, which exhausted all her True Qi, failed to kill Xie Dongjun, it severely injured Xie Dongjun. This sword strike even wounded Xie Dongjun's soul, making the situation quite favorable for Lu Changsheng.
If we capture these two assassins alive and hand them over to the Demon God, we might be able to find the mastermind and clear up the misunderstanding.
These two assassins may also know who ordered them.
Xie Dongjun's face was pale, and sweat streamed down his pale cheeks and collarbone as he rapidly lost his strength.
The Taiyin Goddess is highly skilled in Sword Art; she can not only wound the physical body but also sever the Three Souls and Seven Spirits.
Xie Dongjun is in very poor condition right now.
Even if he takes the Medicinal Pills, his injured soul won't recover so quickly.
One was poisoned, the other had his soul damaged; both King Yama-Rank Killer, both of whom were outmaneuvered by Lu Changsheng.
"You killed the son of the Demon God, nearly igniting a war Three Realms. Your crimes are heinous, and you must pay the price."
Lu Changsheng took out the Immortal-Binding Rope, intending to capture the two alive and hand them over to the Demon God for punishment.
The two heavily wounded assassins were no match for him and Ji Xuan.
Xie Dongjun's eyes gradually sharpened, as if he had made up his mind. His aura was recovering at an astonishing speed. "Lu Changsheng, you truly deserve to be the genius who won first place in the Heavenly Court Assembly. It'll be worth it to take you down with me before I die! Haha!!"
"Master, this is terrible! He's burning away his lifespan, trying to take us both with him!"
As a genius among the Demon Race, Ji Xuan also understood Xie Dongjun's intentions.
Xie Dongjun transformed into a streak of light, wielding Long Sword. But this sword was not aimed at Lu Changsheng; it was aimed at Ji Xuan!
"I know you will save her!"
Xie Dongjun gradually went mad.
He had exhausted all his lifespan, and this was his last moment of lucidity, a chance he had only for a fleeting instant.
To prevent Lu Changsheng from having any other means of survival, he chose to attack Lu Changsheng's most vulnerable spot!
Xie Dongjun's judgment was correct; Lu Changsheng indeed stood in front of Ji Xuan once again.
The difference is that Lu Changsheng narrowly escaped opening the Mountains and Rivers Diagram and swallowed Xie Dongjun inside!
Just as Xie Dongjun's Long Sword was about to pierce Lu Changsheng, a flash of white light appeared, and they suddenly entered an unfamiliar space, leaving them completely bewildered.
"No!!"
Xie Dongjun roared to the sky, relentlessly attacking the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, leveling mountain ranges one by one.
However, he was unable to destroy the Mountains and Rivers Diagram and could only watch helplessly as life slipped away.
"Ha ha!!"
Knowing he was doomed, Xie Dongjun let out a miserable laugh, his body rapidly swelling up like a giant balloon.
Boom!!
Before his death, Xie Dongjun actually chose to self-destruct!
The peerless master on the God King Ranking self-destructed, the destructive force shattering Spacetime, even cracking the Mountains and Rivers Diagram.
Lu Changsheng's heart clenched.
This Xie Dongjun, as King Yama-Rank Killer, is truly ruthless. Knowing he was doomed, he chose to self-destruct, destroying his body and leaving no trace.
Even Xie Dongjun's treasures were reduced to nothingness in the explosion.
The High Antiquity Han Clan's Clan-Suppressing Treasure "Mountains and Rivers Diagram," was also damaged due to Xie Dongjun's self-destruction.
Lu Changsheng felt a pang of heartache.
The Mountains and Rivers Diagram was his life-saving Law Treasure, having saved him countless times, yet it was damaged in this battle.
The damaged Mountains and Rivers Diagram is no longer as good as it used to be; we'll have to find a way to restore Mountains and Rivers Diagram later.
Two assassins, one dead. Lu Changsheng looked at the poisoned assassin.
Only by capturing the poisoned assassin alive and handing him over to the Demon God can the truth be revealed.
This person's identity is unknown.
Since he's Xie Dongjun's partner, he must be from an assassin Sects.
The people from the assassin Sects may not necessarily be acting on the orders of the assassin Sects; they may have accepted a bounty from some powerful organization.
Finding out the truth is not only important to the Demon God, but also crucial to Lu Changsheng, because the person behind the scenes wants to assassinate not only Young Master Wang, but also him, Lu Changsheng.
Seeing Xie Dongjun repeatedly outmaneuvered by Lu Changsheng and ultimately self-destruct, the poisoned assassin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
These two assassins, both God King Ranking, were actually tricked by a junior, and one of them even died.
He Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison and was powerless to cure it.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison is a High Antiquity poison.
In High Antiquity times, after the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect killed the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect, people believed that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Poison had disappeared, and naturally there were few Antidotes.
"Immortal-Binding Rope, go!"
Lu Changsheng activated the Immortal-Binding Rope to capture the assassin.
"Falling into the hands of the Demon God would be worse than death for me. Unable to complete the mission, I would have no way to explain myself, so I have no choice but to drag you down with me."
"The Heavenly Demon Disintegration!"
The poisoned assassin's face gradually contorted into a ferocious expression, and his body rapidly swelled.
"Not good."
Lu Changsheng hadn't expected that both assassins were ruthless, willing to self-destruct at the slightest provocation.
Boom!!
Before being bound by the Immortal-Binding Rope, the assassin teleported to Lu Changsheng and Ji Xuan's side and chose to self-destruct!
This time, the assassin didn't explode inside the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, so the power of the self-destruction was overwhelming!
A mushroom cloud rose, and within a radius of a hundred miles, mountains collapsed and were leveled to the ground, and even the clouds in the Firmament were burned to ashes.
There's movement there.
"Hurry up and go there."
Upon seeing Ji Xuan disappear, Ji Su and his clansmen were anxiously searching for Ji Xuan whereabouts when they sensed the devastating shockwaves from the explosion and rushed towards the scene.
"Nothing can go wrong, otherwise how can I face my daughter in the Yellow Springs?"
Ji Su was worried that the assassins who wanted to kill Young Master Wang were still nearby.
Ji Xuan is Demon Race Goddess. The assassin killed the Demon Race Divine Son, and Ji Xuan may also be the assassin's target.
When Ji Su arrived with the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, they were shocked by what they saw.
Dust billowed up, obscuring the sky and the sun.
A massive crater, 300,000 zhang wide, was destroyed by the Shockwave, leaving nothing but barren land.
Ji Su's face was grim.
The commotion before my eyes resembled a self-destructing technique like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration.
Even Ji Su might not be able to escape unscathed from the self-destruction of a Great Perfection God King, especially one God King Ranking. Ji Xuan has not yet fully matured, and if she were affected by the self-destruction, she might be reduced to ashes.
Ji Su's body was trembling.
Ji Xuan was the only descendant left by her daughter, and if anything were to happen to her, she would be heartbroken.
"Grandmother."
Ji Xuan's voice rang out from the sky, Ji Su looked up sharply, a surge of joy filling her eyes.
Ji Xuan was held in Lu Changsheng's arms. Although she was covered in blood and her long hair was disheveled, her breathing was steady and she was not in any danger.
Lu Changsheng looked much worse, covered in blood, his Daoist Robe was tattered and draped over his body, and his left eye was swollen.
Lu Changsheng was rarely in such a sorry state.
"Cough cough cough... The power of the Great Perfection God King's self-destruction was truly astonishing; I almost died."
Lu Changsheng coughed incessantly.
At that critical moment, Lu Changsheng summoned almost every Defensive Law Treasure he could think of, including the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, the Soul-Suppressing Bell, the Human Emperor Cauldron, the Black Emperor Demon Robe, and the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
As a result, the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, which was hit by the self-destruction twice, was severely damaged, almost destroyed, and completely lost its function.
If the High Antiquity Han Clan were alive today, they would be furious to know that Lu Changsheng had also ruined their Lineage's Clan-Suppressing Treasure.
The Soul-Suppressing Bell, the Human Emperor Cauldron, and the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda all sustained varying degrees of damage.
The Black Emperor Demon Robe was transformed into tattered strips of cloth on Lu Changsheng's body.
This was only because Lu Changsheng had cultivated the "Eternal Ages Immortality Art" and the "Invincible Divine Art," making his physical body domineering, which allowed him to withstand the self-destruction of Great Perfection God King.
The Great Perfection God King was practically a human nuclear bomb; even Lu Changsheng was struggling to cope, and several of his Law Treasures were destroyed.
Lu Changsheng had exhausted all means to kill the two assassins.
But the two assassins preferred to self-destruct rather than be captured alive, so the trail had almost gone cold.
The only clue was the identity of an assassin, which was needed to give an explanation to the Demon God.
"Have you encountered assassins?"
Ji Su broke out in a cold sweat, but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her granddaughter was alright.
Ji Xuan nodded. "Yes, we encountered two assassins, both Great Perfection God Kings, but they were forced to self-destruct by our master."
Ah?
Ji Su and the other members of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan were dumbfounded.
Two assassins at the Great Perfection God King level, who could even successfully assassinate the Demon Race's Divine Son, Young Master Wang, were actually toyed with and killed by Lu Changsheng? And even forced to self-destruct?
"You little rascal..."
Ji Su suddenly realized that Lu Changsheng was the number one genius recognized in the Immortal Realm. Now it seemed that he truly lived up to his reputation. Whether in terms of strength or strategy, he was incredibly powerful, and both assassins were outmaneuvered and killed.
"Can you ascertain the assassin's origins?"
While shocked, Ji Su became curious about the assassin's identity.
"One is Xie Dongjun, who betrayed the Heavenly Court; the other is an assassin of unknown identity; as for the mastermind behind it all, it remains a mystery."
Lu Changsheng shook his head. These two assassins were ruthless; if they couldn't be captured alive, they naturally wouldn't be able to get the truth out of them.
Ji Su said, "Regardless, we need to make a trip to Qilin Sacred Mountain."
