Styx glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti beside him, who were openly displaying their joy, and regret surged through him like a tide.
The Blood Sea Trial he had personally arranged had actually paved the way for others!
This prodigy...
He had clearly rebuilt his foundation and reached the pinnacle by stepping on the corpses of the Asura Race!
Wait!
Styx suddenly realized that Lu Tian could repair his foundation by devouring others. Now, with so many fallen powerhouses on the battlefield, including Taiyi Golden Immortals, if he were to devour and absorb them...
He dared not think further!
Meanwhile, Jieyin and Zhunti were already beaming with joy. They laughed heartily in front of Styx, their eyes filled with unconcealable ecstasy.
This was their **!
A peerless heavenly talent unique in the Primordial World!
If the Three Pure Ones knew they had missed such a fine talent, they would surely regret it immensely, wouldn't they?
What's more, they hadn't even invested much resources into this ** yet!
After the Two Sages of the West imparted the Secret Method to Lu Tian, they had bestowed upon him the Vajra Scepter, but now he had obtained a new opportunity and had no use for this magical treasure.
Although the Blood Sea Trial was precious, for other Quasi-Saints and Sages, as long as they were willing to pay the price, they could still initiate it.
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a knowing glance, secretly rejoicing that the Western Teachings had gotten a great deal.
Fortunately, the Three Pure Ones were blind!
Didn't this let them gain the upper hand for free?
Thinking of how they were always suppressed by the Three Pure Ones in the past, the two felt even more smug and self-satisfied.
At this moment, Lu Tian was focused on devouring the Power of Origin from numerous powerhouses.
Such immense energy was enough to repair his incomplete foundation.
Especially the Power of Origin from that Taiyi Golden Immortal!
From Heavenly Immortal to True Immortal, and from True Immortal to Golden Immortal, the Origin required to break through each realm increased exponentially.
He had killed six thousand Golden Immortals as easily as slicing through vegetables, but when facing the siege of three Taiyi Golden Immortals, he had to trade injuries for moves.
If not for the Zero World's assistance, his True Spirit would likely still be fighting the spiritual sword, let alone ** the opponents.
The difference between a Taiyi Golden Immortal and a Golden Immortal was worlds apart!
He wondered to what level he could break through this time?
Lu Tian sat cross-legged, energy surging around him.
Ever since his battle with the Taiyi Golden Immortal, the onlookers had long since fled--
Who wouldn't fear being crushed into powder by the aftershocks of the battle?
This, however, allowed him to devour the Origin without any reservations.
Just as Lu Tian was cultivating, No one noticed that the light in a certain part of the void had distorted strangely for a moment.
Half a month later, All the Taiyi Golden Immortals on the Crimson Continent gathered together.
Of the original six Taiyi Golden Immortals from the Four Great Tribes, one had fallen, leaving five;
The two Taiyi Golden Immortals from the two Allied Forces had also participated in this **.
These powerhouses, who were usually at odds with each other, now had no thoughts of scheming.
Each of them wore a solemn expression, their minds in a daze.
"Moxi, are the images you displayed truly reliable?" someone couldn't help but question.
The Asura Race member, known as Moxi, scanned everyone with a grim expression, and said with a bitter smile, "Could there be a mistake?
When has my Yanghua Mirror ever been wrong?"
He raised his hand and summoned a treasure mirror, which clearly showed the scene of Lu Tian killing a Taiyi Golden Immortal with two strikes.
"It's not that I don't believe you..." the questioner murmured, staring at the mirror image, "but for a peak Golden Immortal to kill a Taiyi Golden Immortal with two strikes... it's simply unbelievable!"
"Kaluo's Five Elements Body wasn't cultivated very well, only reaching the beginner level, but to be able to kill with two strikes, I'm afraid none of us present could do it."
"This at least proves that his attack power surpasses all of us."
Moxi sighed lightly, his tone filled with helplessness.
"To be surpassed by a mere Golden Immortal... what a profound humiliation!"
Moxi slammed the table, gritting his teeth.
"It's not just his attack power; his defense is equally astonishing, his physical strength is beyond imagination."
I landed two blows, yet I still couldn't take his life!
However, since I've already severely wounded him, if someone cooperates to hold him down next time we fight, I can definitely kill him.
The Taiyi holding the blade was also filled with indignation.
To think that a dignified Taiyi Golden Immortal couldn't kill a Golden Immortal in two strikes was a monumental disgrace!
Don't forget his mastery of the Space-Time Law. Two of the initial eight strikes involved the space-time dimension; one must be proficient in both space-time laws to even perform them!
The most terrifying part is his Secret Method; perhaps he's even hiding more powerful trump cards...
Everyone, don't forget his True Spirit is also formidable...
The crowd chattered amongst themselves.
Ultimately, they fell into an eerie silence.
Their first meeting to discuss the matter, and the conclusion they reached was that Lu Tian was almost flawless!
Apart from lacking the Five Elements Body, he was nearly on par with a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
"And this!"
Moxi pointed at the Yanghua Mirror, and the scene within it shifted again.
It displayed Lu Tian absorbing the origin of powerful individuals on the battlefield.
Countless points of light entered his body, and with every bit absorbed, his aura grew deeper.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent once more.
"What kind of Secret Method is that?"
"I've never heard of it. To be able to decompose fallen powerhouses and use them for oneself. If I had this technique, I would have already advanced to Grand Unity!"
"Moxi, just state your plan."
"Indeed, if we join forces to deal with Lu Tian, I'm willing to participate!"
"Count me in. We must eliminate this brat sooner rather than later, or the consequences will be endless!"
Seven people expressed their stances one after another.
Their objective was the same as before—
To kill Lu Tian in the Golden Immortal realm before he could grow!
Finally, all seven Taiyi Golden Immortals unanimously passed the resolution to join forces and kill Lu Tian!
As for whether they could succeed?
Three people could wound Lu Tian; how could seven people working together fail?
Moreover, Lu Tian was already heavily injured!
With this battle, the Asura Race had victory in their grasp!
The winds and clouds shifted across the heavens and earth, and thunder surged.
Lu Tian ** in the thunderstorm **, his divine sense sinking into the depths of his origin. Golden immortal essence flowed like a torrent, tempered by his Demonic Heart, and was continuously injected into the Purple Bamboo. The originally withered bamboo body gradually unfurled, regaining its jade-like luster.
This transformation lasted for a full ten days.
When the last wisp of immortal essence was absorbed, his origin had actually recovered by fifty percent! Such astonishing speed even shocked Lu Tian himself. The origin of a Taiyi Golden Immortal was indeed extraordinary—not only was it equivalent to the sum of three thousand Golden Immortals, but its purity also doubled the conversion efficiency.
At this moment, he finally saw the true form of his main body: it was an ultimate Innate Spiritual Root comparable to the Flat Peach and Ginseng Fruit! Outside the ten recognized Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World, he was the eleventh. He recalled that the Western lands should have had seven or eight Spiritual Roots back then, but they were all destroyed in the Dao-Demon Conflict. Only he, who traveled through time and space, managed to preserve this Creation-Destruction Bamboo that should have been annihilated.
This spiritual bamboo contained the Five Elements Origin and nurtured the laws of both creation and destruction. As a companion talent, Sky-Piercing Heart was merely a basic ability. Its true power lay in:
With his left hand, he wielded creation, capable of bringing withered trees back to life and accelerating the growth of all things; it could also heal injuries, ensuring continuous vitality.
With his right hand, he wielded destruction, capable of summoning divine thunder from the nine heavens, and possessed a divine ability. By burning his life as a price, he could instantly unleash ten times his combat power!
Lu Tian carefully experienced his reborn state, and for a moment, he was stunned.
This feeling was simply too wonderful!
The creation and destruction laws contained within alone were already considered top-tier Innate Divine Abilities.
The former granted him an almost indestructible vitality and astonishing recovery power; the latter could summon heavenly thunder to smite enemies and could unleash astonishing combat power by burning his life.
What was even more valuable was that these two great divine abilities complemented each other, originating from the same source.
Although he had only recovered fifty percent of his strength and the two great divine abilities were not yet fully unsealed, it was enough to make Lu Tian ecstatic. He wished he could immediately spar with a master to test his current ultimate combat power.
However, Lu Tian understood priorities.
His urgent task was to heal—he had taken two direct blows from a Taiyi Golden Immortal. If not for his physical body merging with the Vajra Body and being strengthened, he would have perished long ago.
This was the perfect opportunity to test the limits of his recovery!
With a thought, Lu Tian entered the Dream World. He perfectly replicated his real-world injuries onto his dream body, then took out a massive amount of elixirs.
Since he wanted to test his recovery speed, he naturally couldn't rely on meditation.
Healing elixirs were poured into his mouth like a stream. His Demonic Heart furiously absorbed and transformed them, and the medicinal power quickly nourished his entire body.
In just one month, after consuming a large quantity of Golden Immortal-grade elixirs, his injuries had healed by twenty percent.
Based on this calculation, full recovery would take about five months.
This speed far exceeded expectations. After all, this was a fatal wound left by a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
A second thought brought a chuckle from Lu Tian: he was practically cheating—relying on the Demonic Heart's hundredfold absorption efficiency and an unlimited expenditure of elixirs, his recovery speed was more than ten thousand times that of others at the same level.
Of course, such extravagance could only be attempted in the Dream World. In reality, even after robbing countless Golden Immortals, he couldn't afford such an expenditure even a few times.
It was precisely for this reason that he could achieve the miracle of recovering in five months.
A Golden Immortal of the same realm suffering such injuries would typically need two to three thousand years to heal.
Lu Tian sat down on the spot, activating the self-healing power within his body.
The profound and unfathomable Power of Creation flowed through his meridians.
Even with Lu Tian's comprehension, it was difficult to grasp its mysteries for the moment. He could only wield this power because it was his innate Power of Origin.
It wasn't that his comprehension was insufficient.
It was simply that he had never encountered the Dao of Creation before; it was natural to find it difficult to grasp upon first contact.
As the Power of Creation continued to circulate.
Lu Tian's wounds were healing at an astonishing rate.
This recovery efficiency was comparable to the effects of the previous frantic **!
This discovery sent Lu Tian into a state of ecstatic joy.
The Power of Creation alone could achieve the medicinal effects of consuming vast amounts of rare heavenly treasures.
Even better, the two could be used in conjunction.
With this thought, Lu Tian immediately exited the Dream World.
He took out a hundred bottles of Golden Immortal-grade elixirs and swallowed them all to refine.
Simultaneously, the Power of Creation flowed slowly, and the two energies merged within his meridians, nourishing his injuries together.
The recovery efficiency surged tenfold again, and it was estimated that he would be fully healed within half a month!
On the fifth day of recuperation, eighty percent of his injuries had already healed.
All that remained was to treat some hidden injuries.
Just as Lu Tian was preparing to continue his healing—
Those Taiyi Golden Immortals actually came looking for him!
The seven surviving Taiyi Golden Immortals from the Crimson Continent attacked in unison.
Overwhelming pressure surged from all directions.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, dark clouds obscured the sun, and a terrifying pressure completely enveloped Lu Tian.
Seven?
Lu Tian's gaze swept over them, recognizing a few familiar faces.
The Taiyi from the Allied Forces War Zone, who had been besieged by three people, had managed to escape thanks to him drawing their fire back then.
The Taiyi whose Natal Treasure Pagoda he had destroyed was noticeably weaker than the others now.
The sneak attacker who had struck him twice in the void was still hidden in the spatial layers.
There were also four other powerful individuals whose auras were no less than theirs.
The oppressive pressure caused the surrounding air to almost solidify.
An ordinary Golden Immortal here would likely have suffocated to death long ago.
Fortunately—Lu Tian was never an ordinary Golden Immortal.
The Moon Washing Blade gleamed with cold light, its blade flowing with a moon-like halo, as if coated in a layer of silver frost.
There were no pre-battle taunts, nor any verbal sparring.
All eight knew clearly that this battle could only end in life or death; any words now would be superfluous.
Walking out of the battlefield alive was the most biting mockery of the enemy.
Lu Tian's gaze, like lightning, swept across the seven Taiyi, and his figure suddenly vanished into the void.
In an instant—
A hundred-zhang-tall, two-headed, four-armed Vajra Dharma Form tore through the sky!
Its four arms each held a divine weapon: the Moon Washing Blade spitting cold light, the Vajra Scepter wreathed in golden radiance, the Huntian Stone Staff as imposing as a mountain, and the Black Iron Spear like a dragon spitting its fangs.
