Invincible Sword Immortal
"Brother, you were in seclusion when I came back, and I was in seclusion when you came out. Now that I'm out, I can finally have a proper get-together with you!" Zhang Xingfeng said sincerely to Lang Feng.
Lang Feng smiled and said, "Me too, but I gained a lot from this seclusion. I finally cultivated into a Sword Nascent Soul. Ten years ago, I also underwent the tempering of heavenly lightning outside the sect's protective formation. After this tempering, my power also rose to a higher level. Now my power is equivalent to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal."
Zhang Xingfeng nodded and praised, "Sword Immortal cultivation is inherently powerful. Once successful, one starts as Great Luo Golden Immortal. Now, you've first formed Sword Nascent Soul and then undergone the tempering of heavenly lightning, which will benefit the future growth of your Sword Nascent Soul. However, while the attack power of a Sword Immortal is strong, far surpassing that of other immortals in the Immortal Realm, their defense is not very good. But, I've already prepared one for you—this is the Heavy Profound Chisel!"
Zhang Xingfeng took out the Heavy Profound Chisel, which he had prepared for Lang Feng long ago. The Heavy Profound Chisel a top-tier defensive artifact, and also the most renowned. Unlike other top-tier defensive artifacts, it was composed of three parts, while other top-tier defensive artifacts were formed from a single piece. Zhang Xingfeng didn't know if this was a good or bad thing, but since it was known as the strongest defensive artifact and even more famous than the Black Sun Divine Armor, it must have something extraordinary about it.
Lang Feng was stunned. He didn't know that Zhang Xingfeng was going to give him the Heavy Profound Chisel, a divine artifact of immense value. Of course he knew, but he never expected his second brother to give him the Heavy Profound Chisel. He had always assumed that his second brother was the one who used such a precious artifact. Now that Zhang Xingfeng had done this, he didn't know what to do.
"Second brother... this, this is not good. The Heavy Profound Chisel is so precious? Moreover, as the pillar of our Tianxin Sect, our Tianxin Sect cannot do without you now. You should use it yourself. Besides, you should also know that we sword immortals have a saying—offense is the best defense. As the sword immortal with the strongest offense, you don't need defense!" Lang Feng advised.
Zhang Xingfeng scoffed, "Offense is the best defense? Haha... That's only because those sword immortals don't have good defensive artifacts. Offense is the best defense, but if your attacks are ineffective, are you just waiting to die? You might be willing, but I, as your second brother, am not! Besides, go to the Immortal Realm and see for yourself. Which sword immortal who has reached the Immortal Monarch or even Immortal Emperor realm isn't wearing defensive artifacts?" Zhang Xingfeng detested the lies told by those in power to mislead their subordinates.
Only when the defense is completely secure can the sword immortal attack with greater confidence!
Lang Feng was stunned and speechless for a moment, but he still insisted, "No, I can't accept such a precious artifact. You use it yourself!"
Zhang Xingfeng stood up angrily and walked to a distance from Lang Feng. Suddenly, flames flashed around him, and a faint, flickering golden light appeared on Zhang Xingfeng body, along with pale blue flames.
"I see, I've already reached the Immortal Undying Body realm. And my Blazing Heavenly Fire is something even Immortal Monarch couldn't handle. What are you still worried about? Besides!" A flash of light appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's body, and a set of battle armor materialized.
"This is my top-tier defensive artifact— the Heavenly Fire Armor. For a Fire Attribute cultivator like me, the Heavenly Fire Armor is far more precious than the Heavy Profound Chisel. Brother, do you think I still need the Heavy Profound Chisel?" Zhang Xingfeng reluctantly revealed all his secrets to persuade Lang Feng.
Lang Feng stared blankly at Zhang Xingfeng. He had been stunned ever since he saw Zhang Xingfeng's Immortal Undying Body, and he was even more shocked when he saw the Blazing Heavenly Fire. He knew how powerful the Blazing Heavenly Fire was. Later, when the Heavenly Fire Armor with raging flames appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's body, he was completely dumbfounded!
Top-tier defensive artifacts are far more valuable than top-tier offensive artifacts. It is estimated that there are no more than ten top-tier defensive artifacts in the immortal and demon realms, while there are dozens of top-tier offensive artifacts!
Lang Feng took a while to come to his senses. He looked at Zhang Xingfeng and said with a wry smile, "Fine, fine, fine, I accept it, okay? Second brother, really, are you trying to scare me to death? I really don't know how you became so powerful. Sigh... Although I am now a sword immortal, seeing your Immortal Undying Body and that Blazing Heavenly Fire, I feel that the gap between me and you is getting bigger and bigger!"
Zhang Xingfeng smiled brightly, placed the Heavy Profound Chisel in front of Lang Feng, and laughed, "Haha... that's more like it! Wait a minute, there's one more thing for you. You need defense, but you also need offense, right? Immortal artifacts are too low-grade. Big brother, this sword-shaped mid-level divine artifact is for you."
Lang Feng had already suffered enough blows, and although he was still somewhat shocked, his mind was still clear. He wasn't completely blank like before. Lang Feng smiled wryly as he accepted the divine artifact, saying, "Hmm... I really don't know how you managed to get this, Second Brother. Are divine artifacts really that worthless?"
Zhang Xingfeng smiled proudly, "This divine artifact is extremely precious in the Immortal and Demon Realms, and other forces value it highly. But in my Zhang Xingfeng, apart from top-tier divine artifacts, I really don't care much about Zhang Xingfeng, because I... can forge divine artifacts!"
Lang Feng, who had just been attacked, was finally defeated once again!
Being able to forge divine artifacts and possessing divine artifacts are two different concepts. The number of divine artifacts you possess is limited, but if you can forge divine artifacts, as long as you have enough materials, then the number of divine artifacts is unlimited.
Lang Feng looked at his second brother in disbelief. Finally, he realized that his second brother was someone who would always create miracles and legends.
"Alright, Big Brother, I will publicly refine a divine artifact on Qingshaping tomorrow. I want all the core disciples of my Tianxin Sect to know the strength of my Tianxin Sect! This will generate tremendous cohesion. I want Tianxin Sect to become a force on par with, or even surpass, the Purple Cloud Realm." Zhang Xingfeng said loudly, his aura surging and his arrogance soaring.
Lang Feng nodded firmly. He knew that his second brother was capable of creating any miracle, and he believed that his second brother could fulfill what he had just said. After all, the person who said those words was his second brother, Zhang Xingfeng.
Currently, the Tianxin Sect in the Cultivation World only has tens of thousands of disciples. Although its number of experts can rival that of the Purple Cloud Realm Cultivation World, the Purple Cloud Realm has nearly a million disciples, and an astonishing number of disciples who have reached the Immortal Realm. Its power far surpasses that of the Tianxin Sect, after all, the Purple Cloud Realm has held a dominant position in the Cultivation World for far too long. However, Lang Feng, seeing Zhang Xingfeng's strength, believes that the Tianxin Sect can surpass the Purple Cloud Realm!
But Lang Feng was wrong!
The Purple Cloud Realm that Zhang Xingfeng mentioned is not the Purple Cloud Realm of the Cultivation World! It is the Purple Cloud Realm led by the Great Emperor Ziwei, the number one power in the Immortal Realm! If Lang Feng knew that Zhang Xingfeng meant this, he probably wouldn't believe it Lang Feng, after all, the number one power in the Immortal Realm is just too strong.
"Big brother, quickly put on the Heavy Profound Chisel and then attach this sword-shaped divine weapon, so that your second brother can have a good look at your might!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly said with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Lang Feng was overjoyed. With the top-tier defensive artifact, the Heavy Profound Chisel, he was relieved about his defenses. Now, if the strongest sword immortal were to wield a sword-shaped artifact, the sheer power of their attack would be terrifying.
Lang Feng smiled, immediately Blood-Drip Recognition, and accepted the Heavy Profound Chisel and sword-shaped divine weapon.
The moment the Heavy Profound Chisel was attached to his body, Lang Feng's aura surged. The Heavy Profound Chisel added a sense of weight and solidity to Lang Feng, and the sword-shaped divine weapon further integrated the Sword Qi unique to sword immortals within him. The sword-shaped divine weapon even released Sword Qi nearly ten feet long and substantial.
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly burst into laughter. "Good, good, good! Your defense is impeccable, not to mention your offense. You are a sword immortal with super strong attack power, and with the aid of a sword-shaped divine weapon, you are amazing! Amazing! You are truly an invincible sword immortal!"
Invincible Sword Immortal!
Lang Feng was not only excited, but he also felt that with the two divine artifacts on his body, his strength had increased a lot. For example, if he used an ordinary sword immortal, it would be impossible to produce almost materialized Sword Qi. That was the manifestation of a minor mastery of sword immortality, a phenomenon that could only be achieved by reaching the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal. However, through the sword-shaped divine artifact, he was able to reach such a level as well.
Zhang Xingfeng nodded and exclaimed, "Even Nine Heavens Profound Immortal is no match for you now! Your attack power is enough to kill Nine Heavens Profound Immortal. However, while your defense can withstand the attack of Immortal Monarch, your attack power is still no threat to Immortal Monarch -level expert. Fortunately, it's impossible for Immortal Monarch to appear in this Cultivation World. In this Cultivation World, you can still walk sideways, brother!"
Lang Feng couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
"Alright, big brother, I'm going back now. Yu Yan is waiting for me. Oh, and you should come back with me too. If Leyue might be angry." Zhang Xingfeng smiled and went back to the bamboo house at the foot of the cliff behind the mountain with Lang Feng.
The Immortal Realm, the place where the Great Emperor Ziwei cultivates.
At this moment, a person was sitting cross-legged and floating. This person appeared to be middle-aged, but immortals cannot be distinguished by age, only by cultivation level.
The middle-aged man's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a visible purple light appeared from his forehead.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's lips curled up slightly. "Hmm... Zhang Xingfeng's skill has really improved quickly. He has actually reached the Immortal Monarch realm and achieved the Immortal Undying Body. But I think his cultivation method is a bit different from that of the Fire God. It seems to be somewhat similar to Pangu's Six Revolutions Profound Body Art. However, he has quite a few divine artifacts. What should I do?"
The middle-aged man suddenly let out a cold snort, "Zhang Xingfeng, you little brat, how dare you show such disrespect to the power of my Cultivation World and even destroy two of my branches! I, Ziwei, am not someone to be trifled with. I hope you are the successor of the Fire God. If I discover that you are the successor of Pangu, then you can just wait to die!" Great Emperor Ziwei was extremely ruthless. Even in the Immortal Realm, no one had ever dared to offend him. How could he tolerate Zhang Xingfeng's actions towards the power of his Cultivation World? If he hadn't heard that Zhang Xingfeng possessed the Skyfire Body, he would have killed Zhang Xingfeng long ago.
However, even though Zhang Xingfeng possessed the Skyfire Body, the Great Emperor Ziwei did not directly recognize Zhang Xingfeng as the successor of the Fire God, because he knew that another super master, Pangu, had the Skyfire Body in his peerless attack technique, the Six Revolutions Profound Body Art.
Now that the Great Emperor Ziwei has discovered that Zhang Xingfeng has mastered the Immortal Undying Body, he even immediately concluded that Zhang Xingfeng was Pangu's disciple, since the fifth realm of the Six Revolutions Profound Body Art is the Immortal Undying Body. However, the Blazing Heavenly Fire emanating from Zhang Xingfeng's body has made the Great Emperor Ziwei begin to have doubts again.
After all, when Pangu achieved Immortal Undying Body, he did not possess the Blazing Heavenly Fire.
Who exactly is Zhang Xingfeng's disciple? This is what the Great Emperor Ziwei most wants to know. He is very envious of Zhang Xingfeng's divine artifacts, but he dares not make a move because he is afraid of one person, a person feared by all the experts of the Immortal and Demon Realms— the Fire God! Of course, the title "Fire God" is an honorific given to him by all the experts of the Immortal and Demon Realms!
But how could they know that the Old Man Huo disdained that title? Calling him the Fire God was an insult to him! Even the leader of the Fire Gods of the Divine Realm — the Heavenly Venerable Huode —was merely a junior he had slightly instructed, not even a disciple! Did he deserve the title of "Fire God"?
In the Celestial Realm, in the secret chamber reserved for the Azure Emperor.
The Azure Emperor was currently communicating with the Heavenly Emperor telepathically. However, this telepathic communication technique could only be learned by experts at the Immortal Emperor level.
"Chiyang, that little guy has already reached the Immortal Monarch realm, that's really impressive. But how come that kid is so lucky? He has so many divine artifacts. It seems I've spotted several top-tier divine artifacts on him, they're making me envious!"
"Yuanmu, are you envious? How could that be? Your disciple, Li Qiang, now possesses a divine blade and has the strength of an early-stage Immortal Emperor. I doubt even the treacherous Ziwei would be a match for Li Qiang!"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor's face lit up with a smug smile. He had made a good choice in taking on this disciple! He knew very well the power of the God-Slaying Saber, for he had tested it himself, and he believed that even Ziwei could not possibly be a match for Li Qiang!
At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng was sleeping in the same bed with Yu Yan.
Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips, "What's wrong with you three? Why are you always using your Divine Sense to observe me? Too bad you don't know that my Divine Sense level is higher than yours. I know all about your observations. But I want to see what you three are up to. Never mind, time to rest. I still have to refine the divine artifact tomorrow!"
