Blood-Transforming Flight!
But then a bitter smile appeared on the face of the Ancestor of the West Sea. It was clear that the West Sea, like the Sorrow River, had also lost its most precious treasure.
Only.
How much of it is believable is hard to know.
The Ancestor of the Sorrow River was filled with a hundred thoughts.
The next moment.
Boom!
Boom!
Directly towards the East Sea, two streams of energy appeared in the sky. One of them was the very energy of that scoundrel, which had never been seen before and was strangely concealed. The other was the energy of my old friend, the East Sea Ancestor.
Two phases collide.
The heavens and earth trembled!
"Don't let the thief escape!"
The Ancestor of the Sorrow River acted immediately, pointing a finger to the sky, and an Azure-Scarlet Bracelet mixed with wind and fire shot through the air, heading straight for the concealed aura.
It burst forth with blue and red light, the wind fanned the flames, and it descended with a roar.
The Ancestor of the West Sea did not hesitate.
"Duh!"
With a series of hand seals, a Golden Light sword emerged from the void.
A sword is drawn.
Rumble!
Heaven and earth trembled, and the nine heavens and ten earths shook together.
At this critical moment, the Golden Light sword, with a speed no less than that of the Azure-Scarlet Bracelet, charged towards the East Sea.
The East Sea is rippling.
Above the nine heavens.
An old man's steps were mysterious, as if he were treading between Nine Heavens Nine Netherworlds hells, unpredictable and elusive. Yet, between heaven and earth, a foot fell, spreading out, seemingly within reach yet worlds apart. No matter how the old man changed, how swiftly, how ethereal, he remained within that very space.
"This is--"
Lu Qingfeng frowned deeply, a glint of Radiance flashing in his eyes as he looked at the jade-like ruler. "The Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler?"
[Immortal Artifact: Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler]
[Grade: Tier 1]
[Note: This is a supreme treasure painstakingly refined by the East Sea Ancestor. Once unleashed, it can transform the ends of the earth into a mere foot, or vice versa. Whether for traveling or trapping people, it is an unparalleled marvel.]
"What a magnificent Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler!"
Lu Qingfeng's eyes flickered.
The West Sea Dragon-Gate Leap, the Mourning River Dragon-Transformation Pool, and the East Sea Nine-Dragon Seal are all second-tier Immortal Artifact, the foundation of the Three Dragon Palaces, and all were refined by the Earth Immortal Ancestor.
The Five-Colored Divine Light is invincible.
Although Lu Qingfeng could easily sweep away the three Immortal Artifacts, the three Earth Immortal Ancestors could sense it instantly. Although Lu Qingfeng escaped quickly, after succeeding in the West Sea and the Sorrow River, he still had to clash with the two ancestors.
Not daring to escalate the situation, they all suffered considerable losses in secret.
But that's all.
The Cloud-Peak Step are mysterious and elusive, their speed surpassing even many Earth Immortal. After their attack, the Ancestor of the West Sea and the Ancestor of the Sorrow River could only watch Lu Qingfeng depart.
Helplessly, I followed behind.
Following this trend...
After Lu Qingfeng seizes the East Sea's most precious treasure, the 'Nine Dragons Seal,' he will at most have to withstand one more attack from the East Sea Ancestor before he can escape.
However, man proposes, God disposes.
Who could have imagined that the East Sea Ancestor would possess such a powerful and treacherous treasure as the 'Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler'?
This is Immortal Artifact.
It is Immortal Artifact specializing in trapping people. In the hands of Earth Immortal like the East Sea Ancestor, its power is unimaginable.
Give Lu Qingfeng some time.
With his Cloud-Peak Step, Lu Qingfeng was confident he could escape. However, what he lacked most at this moment was time. Even unleashing the Five-Colored Divine Light would still cause some delay.
"What kind of scoundrel dares to come to the East Sea to steal treasure?!"
Above the clouds, an old man with long arms and shoulders, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, silver teeth and red lips, a ruddy complexion, and two thin, long eyebrows on his forehead held a white jade ruler in his hand. With a casual wave, he trapped Lu Qingfeng in place.
The white jade light transformed into the 'Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler,' upon which were depicted mountains, rivers, stars, and the universe, seemingly encompassing the entire world. The light flickered, continuously shrinking its range, gradually confining Lu Qingfeng to one place.
Lu Qingfeng frowned.
Cloud-Peak Step was only a few breaths away from breaking through the 'Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler', but given the reality that the Earth Immortal from the West Sea and the Sorrow River were about to arrive, he absolutely could not allow himself to be surrounded by the three Earth Immortal.
"Five-Colored Divine Light!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Qingfeng suddenly turned around, and Five-Colored Divine Light shot out from above his head, sweeping towards the Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler in the old man's hand.
In a fleeting moment.
"Um?!"
The old man saw the five-colored light filling the sky and felt a great sense of foreboding. He suddenly realized that his hand was empty. Looking down, he saw that his treasured artifact for trapping people, the 'Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler,' which he had refined for many years, was gone.
I was greatly alarmed.
Let's look further down.
But then a flash of white light appeared in the thief's hand, and what he was holding was none other than his most precious treasure!
"You wicked scoundrel!"
"How dare you steal my priceless treasure!"
Enraged, the East Sea Ancestor roared and slammed down with a palm that seemed to reach the heavens. A mysterious power manifested within his palm, as if it could contain the entire universe—a technique remarkably similar to the Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler, designed to trap people!
Lu Qingfeng, clutching the Nine-Heavens White Jade Ruler, was about to leave when he bumped into the palm of the East Sea Ancestor.
This is how the confrontation took place.
Another breath passed.
Just then.
The East Sea Ancestor raised his head.
Seeing the wind and fire rising from the sky, a bracelet was smashed down on the thief's head.
Then came another Golden Light sword, imbued with boundless sword intent, aimed directly at the heart of the thief.
"The Mourning River Windfire Bracelet".
"The West Sea Golden Light Sword".
Upon seeing the two supreme treasures, the East Sea Ancestor glanced down and exclaimed in alarm, "Not good!"
Boom!
The Wind-Fire Bracelet and the Golden Light Sword fell together, creating a deafening roar. The East Sea Ancestor, however, paid no heed, unleashing four consecutive palm strikes, encompassing the nine heavens and ten earths.
"Five-Colored Divine Light!"
"Receive!"
Lu Qingfeng gritted his teeth.
Before the Five-Colored Divine Light above its head had faded, it swept towards the Golden Light and the wind and fire.
Boom!
Two more treasures have been acquired.
For fifty thousand years, Lu Qingfeng had never slacked off in his cultivation. His mastery of Divine Ability abilities far surpassed what he had achieved before.
The 'Five-Colored Divine Light' is a first-rate, profound, and Great Divine Ability.
Lu Qingfeng devoted himself even more to his studies and comprehension.
Having achieved True Immortal, a mere flick of his wrist would be enough to subdue even the most powerful Immortal Artifact refined by Earth Immortal, forcing them to obediently fall into Lu Qingfeng's hands. Once he refines the Immortal Artifact, the balance of power will shift, greatly increasing his chances of victory in battle against Earth Immortal.
But at this moment, the three Earth Immortal were extremely angry, and it was not the time for them to test their skills in combat.
"Don't get entangled!"
He didn't have time to look at the Azure-Scarlet Bracelet and the Golden Light Sword on his hand, and casually put them away.
However, this delay allowed the East Sea Ancestor's palm seal to seal off all directions. And in the next instant, the West Sea Ancestor and the Sorrow River would also arrive.
The differences between the Fourth Realm of Mahayana Buddhism are as vast as the heavens.
The difference between True Immortal and Earth Immortal is beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals.
No matter how confident Lu Qingfeng was, he dared not say that he could escape from the combined attack of the three Earth Immortal.
There wasn't enough Cloud-Peak Step.
"Walk!"
Lu Qingfeng made a decisive move, "Pfft!"
He bit his tongue hard, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a large bowl of his heart's blood.
In the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the twelve demon gods within his body exploded, and a roar suddenly rose in his heart, "The Dutian Demon God Blood-Transforming Flight Technique!"
The demon god and the blood from his heart were shattered together.
A mysterious event has occurred.
It enveloped Lu Qingfeng, and in the next instant, blood light filled the sky and he flew away and disappeared.
The very next moment after Lu Qingfeng disappeared.
Two beams of mysterious light flew in from the west.
"Laozi's Wind-Fire Bracelet!"
The red-haired old man, the Ancestor of the Sorrow River, had eyes that were wide with rage.
The long-bearded old man, the Ancestor of the West Sea, glared angrily, "Golden Light Sword!"
Erbao launched a surprise attack from thousands of miles away, but disappeared along with Lu Qingfeng.
Extreme sensitivity.
All of this is in vain.
"This child—"
The Changmei old man, the East Sea Ancestor, stood with his palms closed, his face equally gloomy.
"Puff!"
On the shores of the South Sea.
An old man fell headlong from the Nine Heavens, coughing up blood, his face pale and bloodless, and even his eyes lost much of their luster.
"The Dutian Demon God Blood-Transforming Flight Technique!"
"It really is Demon Dao Divine Ability!"
Lu Qingfeng's eyes dimmed, but he forced a smile.
In order to escape, he used such Demon Dao Divine Ability, which caused him considerable injury. It is likely that he will need to use elixirs and spirit medicine to carefully recuperate for hundreds of years to fully recover.
Even if the injury heals, it is still unknown whether it will leave any irreparable hidden damage.
But.
"With the three treasures in hand, everything was worth it!"
Lu Qingfeng felt a sense of relief.
The Earth Immortal is incredibly powerful.
Even though he had already advanced to the Mahayana True Immortal, he still held a deep sense of awe for those who had attained the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit.
"The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the gap between them."
"The Fourth Realm of Mahayana— "
"Sensing, Tribulation Transcendence, the True Mystery, and Dao-Entering!"
"The difference between each realm is comparable to that between mortals and immortals."
The initial advancement to True Immortal is the Mahayana Sensing, which allows one to sense the Heavenly Dao and obtain the method to live as long as Heavenly Dao. One's cultivation increases, the Primordial Spirit strengthens, and Law Power deepens. Once sufficient accumulation is achieved, a tribulation will descend, marking the entry into the Mahayana Tribulation Crossing Realm.
This place is Life and Death, extremely dangerous.
Between heaven and earth, Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation arise, each more severe than the last. A minor tribulation occurs every five hundred years, and a major tribulation every three thousand years. If one cannot overcome this tribulation as soon as possible, one will inevitably perish under its Heavenly Tribulation. If one is too slow to react, one will not even have the chance to be reincarnated and start anew, and will simply perish, with one's body and soul annihilated.
For example, Lu Qingfeng's previous rivals Ao Shang and Zhu Jiu, perished in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, unable to withstand the once-in-three-thousand-years Windfire Tribulation, and ultimately died.
Under heaven.
Many Mahayana True Immortal died due to the limitations of their cultivation realm and the expiration of their lifespan.
Like the Heaven-Suppressing Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo.
Like the Sorrow River Old Dragon.
They had reached the Mahayana True Mysteries realm of Mahayana Buddhism, or even the state of Mahayana Dao Inquiry, but they failed to take the final step. Their lifespans were exhausted, and they could not escape death.
Apart from them.
Many more True Immortal are trapped in the Mahayana Sensing Realm and die in the Mahayana Tribulation Crossing Realm.
Lu Qingfeng's initial attainment of True Immortal was a Mahayana Sensing.
In the Immortal Qin Realm—
The most ordinary Mahayana True Immortal cultivate at most Unorthodox Grade or Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method, are proficient in one or two Transcendent-Grade Spell, and wield at most eighth-level Law Artifact.
Such True Immortal.
Lu Qingfeng completely overwhelmed his opponents in terms of Cultivation Method, Divine Ability, and Law Artifact, making him virtually invincible. Even against top-tier True Immortal at the Mahayana True Mysteries or Mahayana Dao Inquiry levels, he could easily defeat them.
Many of the True Immortal from various factions are quite powerful.
He practices Orthodox Grade methods and may possess one or two broken Divine Abilities. His magical artifacts are also top-tier among eighth-tier Law Artifact.
Lu Qingfeng was confident that he could easily suppress such True Immortal, whether they were in the True Profundity Realm or the Dao Comprehension Realm.
But the Earth Immortal—
"The Earth Immortal is too powerful!"
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
I also felt a bit of relief.
Even when caught off guard and forced to react passively, the Earth Immortal are still this powerful.
If we are too conservative this time and act solely on wishful thinking, only stealing the West Sea Dragon-Gate Leap...
Once Ao Le uses the method of leaping over the Dragon-Leaping Gate, it will be difficult for him to break through to the level of True Immortal.
If he were to steal the Sorrow River and the East Sea again, the two Earth Immortal would be well-prepared and would likely be discovered the moment he showed his face and unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Light. Although even Earth Immortal would find it difficult to withstand the Five-Colored Divine Light, it would be no problem for a prepared Earth Immortal to slightly hinder Lu Qingfeng.
At that time.
It will definitely become even more dangerous.
Even more so, the Sorrow River and the East Sea, seeing the West Sea's treasure stolen, hid the 'Dragon Transformation Pool' and the 'Nine Dragons Seal,' with even Earth Immortal carrying them around. Before long, a hundred years or so, Lu Qingfeng will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
At that time, countless people would have criticized Lu Qingfeng for his intellectual decline and poor judgment!
After all.
"Le'er only has eighty-four years left to live!"
Lu Qingfeng felt a heavy weight in his heart.
He can't afford to waste time.
Ao Le couldn't wait any longer.
Knowing the power of Earth Immortal, and seeking the best possible outcome, Lu Qingfeng stole all three supreme treasures in one go.
It would be best if Ao Le could become Earth Immortal by leaping over the Dragon-Leaping Gate.
If that doesn't work, Lu Qingfeng has a follow-up plan, so he won't have to resort to last-minute solutions and pin Ao Le's Fate on the inaction of the Sorrow River and the East Sea.
The Dragon-Leaping Gate, the Dragon Transformation Pool, and the Nine Dragons Seal are originally one entity.
The West Sea Dragon-Gate Leap was stolen.
In a few days.
Lu Qingfeng then went to steal the Dragon Transformation Pool and the Nine Dragons Seal.
Could the Sorrow River and the East Sea be so foolish as to ignore the warning of the West Sea's treasure being stolen and take no precautions?!
It's likely that Lu Qingfeng will show his face soon.
It's just various kinds of big gestures.
"Fine."
"With the Three Treasures in hand, we wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament."
Lu Qingfeng acted Zhou Quan.
When it comes to matters concerning Ao Le's life or death, he is extremely cautious and considers every aspect.
Lu Qingfeng was unafraid to risk everything for Ao Le, even to become an enemy of the world.
However, Lu Qingfeng would not take any risks that could be avoided through calculation.
Therefore.
Having obtained the three great treasures of the Dragon Race, Lu Qingfeng held nothing back and was unwilling to confront the three Earth Immortal head-on. He even went so far as to destroy himself and self-destruct his Demon Dao Divine Ability of the "Dutian Demon God Blood-Transforming Flight Technique" in order to escape to heaven.
Once entangled.
Regardless of victory or defeat, everything is subject to change.
There are risks involved.
With "The Primordial World" in hand, he was not afraid of Life and Death, but Ao Le couldn't wait.
"Once Le'er becomes True Immortal and is temporarily spared the danger of losing her lifespan, it won't be too late for her to test her skills against the Earth Immortal."
Lu Qingfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Looking behind him, and seeing that the three great Earth Immortal had not been able to catch up, he then summoned the Five Ghosts and rushed towards the East Sinking Continent.
