Chapter 489: Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone, Tianpeng Battling the Dragon!
by xennovel“Great Five Elements Divine Fist!”
Lu Changsheng’s Dragon Roar Essence erupted, causing the Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame to flicker with golden light as he unleashed a Divine Ability from the ‘Five Elements Fusion Technique,’ breaking through the layers of blood mist and charging at the Ghost Bat.
“No wonder this guy dares to cause trouble in our Yin Ghost Sect!”
Ghost Bat’s eyes twitched as the dangerous aura around him grew stronger.
But he could see that Lu Changsheng had used some method to boost his strength to this level.
So, if he could just stall for time, fighting a prolonged battle with Lu Changsheng, the other would likely struggle to maintain his momentum.
Moreover, this was the Yin Ghost Sect’s stronghold. With reinforcements arriving, no matter how capable Lu Changsheng was, he would surely be captured!
“Boom!”
Ghost Bat stepped forward, standing in the Netherworld Blood Pool, causing a massive wave of blood to form into cascading blood waterfalls.
“Boom boom boom—”
Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc broke through the layers of blood waterfalls, reaching Ghost Bat.
But in an instant, blood surged from Ghost Bat’s back, forming a pair of large winged membranes filled with dark, bloody light. He stirred the bloody waves and vanished as a blur.
“Screech—”
Meanwhile, the ancient blood bat under him let out a sharp screech, engulfing the air with blood light and sending countless blood bats towards Lu Changsheng.
“Boom boom boom—”
The Dragon Roar Essence surged within Lu Changsheng’s body, with dense Dragon Roar Qi seeping from his pores. The Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame roared above his head like a fiery dragon, tearing through the blood light.
The scorching, tyrannical purple-red flames clashed with the blood mist, terrifying anyone who witnessed it—like Chu Qingyi, who was greatly shocked.
She never expected Lu Changsheng’s strength to be so terrifying, challenging a Late-Stage Golden Core Realman like Ghost Bat.
This level of power might exceed even her Master!
“Screech!”
The Golden-Winged Roc cried out, its 108,000 golden feathers rising and falling like a stormy sea, piercing through the blood light, causing the ancient blood bat to howl in pain as it disintegrated into flying blood light.
However, Lu Changsheng realized that despite this, Ghost Bat remained relatively unharmed.
The blood bats here were unlike Ghost Shadow Realman’s demonic cloud; they were endless, continually being spawned from Ghost Bat’s Netherworld Blood Pool.
“Breakthrough the late stage of Golden Core? It won’t be easy. To suppress Ghost Bat with my current strength will be challenging.”
“He also knows I’ve enhanced my power using external forces, so he’s avoiding direct confrontation, stalling for time!”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself, realizing Ghost Bat’s plan.
During their brief exchange, he also noticed that Ghost Bat was adept at prolonged battles.
“Well then, let’s see how strong I truly am!”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes glowed with golden light as his Yin-Yang Dao Golden Core in his Qi Sea Dantian resonated, releasing a thousand rays of light. The sixth layer of Golden Core power roared like a true dragon.
“Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone!”
Lu Changsheng had never used this Divine Ability before.
Now with his increased cultivation, it was the perfect time to see its full power.
He wanted to measure the difference in strength between himself and Late-Stage Golden Core masters like Ghost Bat!
The Yin-Yang Dual Qi flowed, exuding the essence of the Dao, forming two Yin-Yang fish.
One fish embodied extreme yang and strength, the other extreme yin and softness, intertwining with one another.
“Boom boom boom—”
The interaction of Yin and Yang caused the world to tremble, shattering the void as all the surrounding spiritual energy, life energy, and even demonic energy were sucked in.
Then, a gigantic grindstone, like a black hole, appeared, slowly rotating as if to grind all creation to dust.
“Boom boom boom—”
The blood light, blood bats, and shadows were all ground into Yin-Yang Dual Qi by the millstone, enhancing its size and power.
Ghost Bat and his ancient blood bat both sensed an overwhelming, terrifying force and retreated far away from the black hole.
Seeing his master’s power, the Golden-Winged Roc naturally refused to fall behind, its body glowing brightly as it charged towards Ghost Bat.
“Tianpeng Battling the Dragon Technique!”
The Golden-Winged Roc shone like a golden rainbow, with a true dragon’s phantom appearing above its head, shaking the heavens.
Only a few Golden-Winged Rocs of the Tianpeng Clan could awaken this innate Divine Ability. It was a Top-Tier Divine Ability!
As the technique was unleashed, golden light tore through the endless blood light like a vast ocean.
“Not good!”
Ghost Bat’s face changed, realizing he’d underestimated both Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc.
“Pfft!”
The golden dragon wrapped around the Golden-Winged Roc’s body, suddenly tearing Ghost Bat’s physical body apart.
But in an instant, Ghost Bat turned into countless blood bats and reappeared dozens of meters away, still feeling the searing pain from the powerful strike.
The Golden-Winged Roc, with cold eyes full of killing intent, charged at Ghost Bat again, with an immense Tianpeng phantom atop it, ready to end his life.
When the Tianpeng Battling the Dragon Technique reaches its peak, it forms the ‘Tianpeng Battling the Dragon Diagram’!
This diagram is not only a Top-Tier killing technique but can also suppress enemies and enhance one’s combat strength!
“Boom boom boom—”
The Golden-Winged Roc’s power had now exceeded Lu Changsheng’s, even with the enhancement of the Nine Treasures Dao Bone. Its golden claws shone with numerous true dragons, tearing apart the heavens effortlessly.
“Pfft!”
The endless blood light and blood waterfall from the Netherworld Blood Pool were pierced and torn apart by the Golden-Winged Roc, forcing Ghost Bat into a constant retreat.
However, like a golden lightning bolt, the Golden-Winged Roc pursued tirelessly, each movement of its giant claws seemed to split the sky, unleashing a terrifying force.
The most shocking part was that the Golden-Winged Roc’s power was rising continuously, growing fiercer with each battle.
“So fierce!?”
Even Lu Changsheng was surprised at the scene before him.
He knew the Golden-Winged Roc was extraordinary, belonging to the top tier of Golden Core beings.
But he never expected it to be this fierce, suppressing a Late-Stage Golden Core Realman like Ghost Bat with no resistance.
Ghost Bat wasn’t just anyone; he was the Great Elder of the Yin Ghost Sect, second only to the Supreme Elder. His strength was beyond doubt.
“Kill!”
Lu Changsheng shifted his attention to the ancient blood bat, unleashing the ‘Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone.’
Every rotation of the black hole-like millstone seemed to crush mountains and rivers, emanating unstoppable power that made the ancient blood bat screech.
However, this ancient blood bat was not ordinary; it belonged to the first tier in the late third stage demon kings. With a flap of its broad wings, it released a terrifying blood rain.
The blood rain seemed to corrode all things, accompanied by a shrill, piercing sound.
If Lu Changsheng hadn’t awakened the Taiyi Soul, with his Divine Sense far above the Golden Core peak, he might have been affected, his consciousness in disarray.
“I need to kill Ghost Bat first!”
Lu Changsheng could see how difficult the ancient blood bat was.
Even though the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone could destroy all and was immune to all techniques, it would still be challenging to subdue the ancient blood bat quickly.
“Six Desires Demon Heart Manual, Six Senses Heart Lock!”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes sparkled, releasing two golden beams as he looked at the fleeing Ghost Bat.
From the center of his forehead, in his sea of consciousness, the Taiyi Soul, a golden figure, seemed to step out, forming an invisible shadow that charged towards Ghost Bat.
“Buzz—”
As he fled, Ghost Bat suddenly felt an invisible pressure, his awareness dimming as if he was about to fall into an illusion.
But his soul was no ordinary one, along with a magical treasure that stabilized his sea of consciousness, allowing him to awake from the chaotic vision.
However, as he woke, the first thing he saw was a golden claw, sharp and cold, reflecting the light like a dragon’s claws.
“Pfft!”
The golden claw tore through the sky, breaking mountains and rivers, ripping Ghost Bat’s body in two.
In the next instant, Ghost Bat’s body exploded, turning into a rolling Netherworld blood mist that scattered everywhere.
“Buzz—”
The next moment, Ghost Bat reappeared dozens of meters away, his face pale.
He had barely escaped being suppressed by the Golden-Winged Roc through a life-saving Divine Ability.
“Screech!”
The Golden-Winged Roc’s fierce eyes looked at Ghost Bat as it let out a long cry, shaking the mountains and rivers of all directions as it charged at him again.
At this moment, the Golden-Winged Roc fully unleashed the overwhelming power of a true spirit-level bloodline demon king.
The Tianpeng Battling the Dragon Diagram above it grew even more terrifying, as if it would soon descend to the mortal world, shaking the hearts of all who witnessed it.
The ancient blood bat, still fighting Lu Changsheng, felt the overwhelming pressure from the Golden-Winged Roc, its battle momentum dropping!
“Go, go, go!”
Ghost Bat dared not face the Golden-Winged Roc anymore.
He wasn’t sure if he could outlast Lu Changsheng’s surging power.
But he knew that if he continued to fight, he would fall here today.
Too fierce, this golden roc was way too fierce!
No wonder his ancient blood bat was afraid of it!
“Trying to escape!?”
Lu Changsheng saw Ghost Bat trying to flee, so he cast the Six Desires Demon Heart Manual again, driving the ‘Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone’ to suppress him.
“Screech—”
The ancient blood bat spread its wings, unleashing countless bloody winds to attack Lu Changsheng, filling the air with piercing cries that disturbed the mind and boiled the blood.
But Lu Changsheng’s body was like a dragon, burning with fierce flames. The Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone above him remained unshaken, ignoring the blood bat’s attack, pushing forward with unstoppable force.
“What a terrifying Divine Sense attack. Who is this guy? Why have I never heard of such a person?”
Ghost Bat, now prepared, avoided the attack, but looked at Lu Changsheng with fear in his eyes.
As the Great Elder of the Yin Ghost Sect, a Late-Stage Golden Core master, he was knowledgeable about the Golden Core Realmen in the Jin Kingdom.
He was also familiar with the Golden Core Realmen from the Jiang Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, Yuan Kingdom, and Liang Kingdom.
But he had never heard of someone named Lu Changsheng!
There was no way someone like him could be so unknown!
“Pfft!”
At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc appeared in front of him again, its golden claws reaching out as the true dragon’s power sealed the heavens and the earth.
“Boom!”
Ghost Bat unleashed his Netherworld Blood Pool, summoning blood and blood bats to cover hundreds of meters.
But the Golden-Winged Roc had now reached the point where its strength could break through all barriers.
Its claws ripped through the sky; no technique could stop it. Ghost Bat could only flee towards the Yin Ghost Sect in utter defeat.
“Nine Treasures Dao Bone—speed!”
Ghost Bat had cultivated ghostly and blood techniques, making him an expert at fleeing. To catch up, Lu Changsheng needed to use his Divine Abilities for a boost.
“Screech—”
The ancient blood bat screeched, trying to interfere with Lu Changsheng, but its fear of the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone kept it from getting too close.
If it were wounded, and Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc abandoned Ghost Bat to hunt it down, it would be in grave danger.
At that moment, the ancient blood bat suddenly transformed into a streak of blood light, turning to attack Chu Qingyi.
At the third rank demon king level, it had already gained intelligence, knowing that Chu Qingyi’s combat strength was relatively weaker.
It could use Chu Qingyi to disrupt Lu Changsheng.
“Qingyi, be careful!”
While suppressing the ancient blood bat, Lu Changsheng understood its power.
Its soundwave attacks stirred up one’s blood, Spiritual Energy, and soul; ordinary Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t withstand it!
Even though Chu Qingyi had a High-Tier Golden Core and a clear Sword Heart, she would still be affected.
“Boom boom boom—”
Lu Changsheng immediately channeled all his power into the ‘Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone,’ trying to pull the ancient blood bat into the black hole.
But the ancient blood bat roared, releasing a wave of blood rain.
Its huge body split into countless smaller blood bats, appearing hundreds of meters away, making it impossible for Lu Changsheng’s Divine Ability to pin it down.
Chu Qingyi bit her lip, her expression icy.
She had come here intending to help Lu Changsheng.
Instead, she had become a burden.
Otherwise, Lu Changsheng and the golden roc might have suppressed Ghost Bat.
Her expression grew determined, her hand sending a blue Flying Sword shooting out, like a rainbow, carrying fierce and domineering energy towards the ancient blood bat.
“Pfft!”
But the ancient blood bat showed no fear in front of Chu Qingyi’s sword. It didn’t dodge, letting the sword pass right through its body.
The ghastly bat body seemed to melt into liquid, flowing through the strike.
“What a strange ability!”
Chu Qingyi realized she had hit the ancient blood bat, but it had used an innate Divine Ability to disperse the impact.
“Bang!”
Lu Changsheng’s massive black hole loomed overhead, his body wrapped in purple-red flames, a fiery dragon swirling around him. He seemed like a god or a demon as he appeared in front of Chu Qingyi, unleashing a punch that shattered mountains and rivers.
But the ancient blood bat, like Ghost Bat, avoided direct confrontation with Lu Changsheng, moving away to delay for time.
“Lu, let me enter the ‘Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus,’” Chu Qingyi said, looking at Lu Changsheng’s towering figure.
Seeing the situation unfold, she knew she couldn’t help Lu Changsheng and didn’t want to be a burden.
“Fine!”
Lu Changsheng nodded without hesitation, summoning the Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus and letting Chu Qingyi inside.
Then, with the Nine Treasures Dao Bone glowing brightly at his chest and using the ‘Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Great Millstone,’ he charged after Ghost Bat, completely ignoring the ancient blood bat.
He couldn’t maintain this state for long and had to end the fight quickly!
“Damn it!”
Ghost Bat, fleeing in disgrace, suddenly felt a mighty force enveloping him.
He looked back and saw a massive black hole, dozens of meters wide, slowly rotating and shattering the void as it came to crush him.
“Pfft!”
Without hesitation, he ignited his blood, using the Blood Burning Escape Technique to increase his speed, turning into an elusive streak of blood light.
“Screech!”
The Golden-Winged Roc cried out, with a massive mountain-sized rocs phantom above it, moving in sync, charging like lightning. Its golden feathers flew, and its claws seemed to pierce the void, tearing into Ghost Bat, making his already pale face even paler as he spat blood.
.
Watching the two streaks of light, one golden and one blood-red, chasing and colliding, Lu Changsheng felt somewhat awkward.
The speed of both the Golden-Winged Roc and Ghost Bat was too fast for him to catch up.
Although he could still enhance himself with the Nine Treasures Dao Bone.
He had already reached a critical tipping point.
If he pushed further, it wouldn’t just be a matter of excessive consumption and needing rest for a few days.
He might be weakened for half a year, or even a few years.
So Lu Changsheng slowed down, controlling the Starlight Disk to follow.
He planned to head straight to the Yin Ghost Sect to demand an explanation while his momentum was still fierce.
