Chapter 656: Ah Wu, Blast It!

Roar!!!

Seeing the Angry Sea Spear Shark subdued in an instant by Lu Changsheng and the Abyssal Sea Whale King, the Eight-Legged Demon Fish howled at the sky, as if calling for help.

Meanwhile, an endless tide of beasts surged toward Lu Changsheng and the Abyssal Sea Whale King.

However, with a roar akin to a true dragon’s, the Abyssal Sea Whale King unleashed a sound that shattered countless low-level beasts, even causing some to explode, staining the sea a deep crimson.

“Xiao’er, keep your eyes on this!”

Lu Changsheng, his imposing figure radiating chaotic energy, stood beneath the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror, one side blazing like a fiery sun, the other gleaming coolly like a serene moon.

The intertwining golden and silver radiance seemed to merge with the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, helping Lu Lingxiao dispel the overwhelming demonic energy and the pressure of the beast king.

Otherwise, faced with such beast king energy, even Lu Lingxiao, possessing the Dragon Roar Body and the Core Fusion skill, would struggle to hold his ground.

“Yes!”

Lu Lingxiao stood tall as a mountain, his eyes shining like the sun and moon, confronting the approaching tide of beasts.

He understood that his father was reminding him not to fear the beast king, no matter what challenges they faced; remain calm and hold an invincible belief!

“Boom!”

Lu Changsheng’s power surged as he executed the Yin-Yang Qi Great Capture, firmly suppressing the Angry Sea Spear Shark, then charged alongside the Abyssal Sea Whale King toward the Eight-Legged Demon Fish.

Realizing he was outmatched, the Eight-Legged Demon Fish let out a roar and plunged into the depths of the sea.

During its retreat, its eight massive tentacles stirred like giant serpents, each covered in bumps that glimmered ominously, while it unleashed an endless stream of black ink, resembling a turbulent black flood.

“Spear of the Demon God!”

Facing this onslaught, Lu Changsheng raised his hand and conjured the Spear of the Demon God, launching it with fierce intensity at the Eight-Legged Demon Fish.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

The spear formed a swirling vortex, a violent current that pierced through everything in its path, emanating a terrifying aura as it shot toward the Eight-Legged Demon Fish.

As a late-stage tier-three beast king, the Eight-Legged Demon Fish possessed extraordinary combat strength; its tentacles glowed with eerie light, sending shockwaves of terror into the air.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

The clash of two terrifying forces resonated like the heavens collapsing and the earth shattering, stirring up endless waves as beams of light erupted, creating a catastrophic aftermath of magical energy.

The phrase ‘When gods battle, mortals suffer!’ couldn’t be more apt in this situation.

As Lu Changsheng faced off against the Angry Sea Spear Shark and the Eight-Legged Demon Fish, it was the low-level beasts caught in the crossfire that suffered the most.

These low-level beasts perished in droves under the magical energy backlash, their bodies torn apart, blood staining the scene, leaving the cultivators of the Immortal City horrified.

Meanwhile, the Three Treasure Incarnation and Lu Miaoge emerged from the Immortal City, confronting a tier-three beast king.

“Brilliant sun, silence the sun!”

“Clear moon, ferry the calamity!”

In such a battle, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge naturally held nothhng back, unleashing their magical abilities from the outset.

Everyone knew that the ancestor of the Talisman Lu Family, Changsheng Zhenren, and his wife, Lu Miaoge, practiced a combinnd cultivation technique.

However, the Three Treasure Incarnation couldn’t blend their powers as the original body could with the Taiyi Water Technique, so they directly resorted to the couple’s unique spells.

Golden runes flowed across the Three Treasure Incarnation’s body, intricate and mysterious.

Then, brilliant golden light, radiant as the sun, erupted from its palms.

With the emergence of divine light, all magical attacks were extinguished!

The assaults from the beast tide were completely swallowed by the radiant divine light, dissipating like smoke before striking a tier-three early-stage beast king.

Lu Miaoge glowed with a pearllscent radiance, her skin shimmering, while beams of moonlight erupted above her head, enveloping her like a magical robe, making her appear exquisitely noble, like a celestial goddess descending to earth.

These moonbeams also illuminated the Three Treasure Incarnation, draping it in a Taiyin Ferrying Robe, harmonizing beautifully with its sun-like divine light, resembling an immortal descending from the heavens.

“Hiss, what kind of magic is this!? One that extinguishes all laws and another that is invulnerable to them!”

“This is a Core Formation technique. It’s said that Changsheng Zhenren and his wife, Miaoge Zhenren, practiced a combined cultivation method. Is this the secret technique of that combined cultivation?”

“How do these two techniques resemble the magic treasure above the head of the City Lord of Dameng?”

“There were rumors that the City Lord of Dameng invited Changsheng Zhenren to join the Immortal City of Da Mengze. Besides the unmatched Talisman Art, it seems they inherited the combined cultivation technique. Now, it appears there’s some truth to it.”

“Isn’t Changsheng Zhenren a Talisman cultivator? Why isn’t he using Talisman techniques?”

As Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge took action, many bbgan to observe and speculate.

After all, the two were well-known figures who hadn’t fought for many years since their breakthrough into Core Formation.

Now, this was their first appearance in public combat.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qingshan raised an eyebrow, recognizing that his father’s and aunt’s techniques were anything but ordinary.

However, he paid no mind; seven flying swords shot forth from around him, bursting with light as they soared toward the heavens, as if tearing apart the very fabric of day and night.

“Hiss, what terrifying sword intent! Who is this person? Does the Immortal City of Dameng have such a formidable Core Formation Sword Cultivator?”

“This person is Lu Qingshan, son of Changsheng Zhenren. He joined the Golden Sun Sect in the Yue Kingdom during his youth. He just returned home for a visit and happened to be in the Immortal City of Da Mengze!”

“What? He’s the Kirin Son of the Talisman Lu Family, Lu Qingshan? I heard he recently slayed a tier-three beast king to celebrate his family. It seems his reputation is well-founded!”

“Are all seven of his flying swords tier-three? How did a newly advanced Core Formation cultivator become so affluent?”

“What? Seven tier-three flying swords? When I broke through to Foundation Establishment, I worked for four years just to earn my first spiritual artifact!”

As Lu Qingshan made his move, the onlooking cultivators gasped in awe.

Especially the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, sword cultivators.

Lu Qingshan’s primary sword trembled under his overwhelming sword intent, deeply aware of how astonishingly powerful Lu Qingshan’s swordsmanship was, sharp and unstoppable!

“What an impressive Changsheng Zhenren and Miaoge Zhenren! This kind of combined cultivation technique is both offensive and defensive; few at the same level could break through it.”

“And this Lu Qingshan, as long as he doesn’t die young and continues to grow, the Talisman Lu Family’s future is secure.”

The false Core Formation masters from the four great sects, having seen much, looked at Lu Changsheng’s family with grave expressions, expressing their reflections.

Just as everyone was marveling, Hong Lian, stationed at the City Lord’s mansion, performed hand seals, turning the Immortal City’s great formation from defense to offense.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

The great formation of the Immortal City shimmered to life, endless waves of water rising, forming water dragons that roared toward the remaining three beast kings.

During this, the formation also conjured thunderbolts as thick as barrels, striking the beast tide and the three beast kings, creating terrifying thunderous roars.

Previously, facing six beast kings and an endless tide, the Immortal City of Dameng had to rely on its tier-three great formation for passive defense.

But now, with the Angry Sea Spear Shark and the Eight-Legged Demon Fish being beaten back by Lu Changsheng and the Abyssal Sea Whale King, the formation faced no pressure and could continuously bombard the beast kings.

“This must be a tier-three formation master controlling the Immortal City’s great formation!”

Seeing the transformation of the Immortal City’s formation, some immediately realized and said softly.

“It should be the City Lord’s wife controlling the formation.”

“No wonder the City Lord of Dameng dared to entrust the Immortal City’s great formation to his only Foundation Establishment son; in fact, a tier-three formation master is watching over him from behind.”

“Sigh, having such good parents is truly fortunate! When I learned formations, I served tea and ran errands for my master for thirty-eight years before I got the chance to control a great formation, gaining insight into its workings. Meanwhile, he can manage a tier-three great formation at such a young age!”

“He can face the beast tide and tier-three beast kings at his Foundation Establishment stage. Such invaluable experiences are something we can never possess in our lifetimes!”

Although Hong Lian did not reveal herself, many guessed that the one controlling the formation was indeed the City Lord’s wife.

After all, the Immortal City’s great formation was of utmost importance.

If it weren’t for someone truly trustworthy, they wouldn’t dare to face the beasts and leave the Immortal City in someone else’s hands.

With the tide of battle reversing, many hearts that were previously anxious began to relax, turning their thoughts to watching the Core Formation-level battle.

However, gazing at Lu Lingxiao, who stood atop the Abyssal Sea Whale King, countless people felt envious and jealous, thinking that having such top-tier parents was truly a blessing.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

The Three Treasure Incarnation and Lu Miaoge faced a tier-three arly-stage beast king. Though they couldn’t end the battle quickly, with Lu Qingshan sweeping through, they gradually pushed the beast king back, making it howl in agony.

The nearby beast king tried to attack the three, but with Hong Lian commanding the formation, it couldn’t get close enough to interfere.

Even Lu Qingshan sensed something was amiss, as if the one controlling the Immortal City’s great formation was creating opportunities for his family to shine.

“Go all out!”

Lu Changsheng transmitted to Lu Qingshan, not caring if his son’s brilliance overshadowed him.

After all, as Changsheng Zhenren, he was merely a Talisman cultivator on the surface; as long as he performed adequately, there was no need to outshine too impressively.

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan summoned the Starry Sky Sword, showering the area with a rain of swords, intertwining with the sword formation as he aimed to slay his second beast king.

“Hiss, indeed, when it comes to combat strength, it’s still the sword cultivators that shine!”

“It’s hard to imagine that this Lu Qingshan has just recently broken through to Core Formation.”

“But why hasn’t Changsheng Zhenren used any talismans? Isn’t that his signature move?”

“A tier-three Talisman cultivator would typically use tier-three talismans. Who can withstand that? But now that there’s no pressure, he certainly wouldn’t need to use them.”

“The City Lord is incredible! Single-handedly suppressing two late-stage tier-three beast kings!”

As everyone discussed, Lu Changsheng and the Abyssal Sea Whale King had already pushed the Eight-Legged Demon Fish to the brink, causing it to cry out in despair as its body shattered.

The eight tentacles of the demon fish had lost three, and one more was bitten off by the Abyssal Sea Whale King. Its ink-like blood gushed forth, staining the sea black, corroding many low-level beasts.

The Eight-Legged Demon Fish and the Angry Sea Spear Shark cried out in despair, their mournful howls echoing in the air.

“Where is that fourth-tier demon king? Why hasn’t it shown up yet?”

Lu Changsheng frowned as he observed the two demon kings before him.

Throughout the battle, he remained vigilant, wary of the hidden fourth-tier demon king.

But so far, there had been no sign of it.

Suddenly, he felt his Taiyi Spirit tremble within his sea of consciousness, sensing a terrifying aura. He quickly looked up.

Above in the sky, the clouds had dispersed, revealing a vast, clear blue expanse.

It starkly contrasted the blood-soaked Immortal City of Da Mengze below, where the beast tide gathered.

Yet, Lu Changsheng immediately sensed something was off.

It was too quiet!

The overwhelming demon energy and his own mana usually influenced the weather, but the sky showed no signs of disturbance.

Right now, it was utterly calm, even eerily silent.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Changsheng noticed a heavy atmosphere above, causing the air to shimmer slightly.

“Ah Wu!”

He immediately activated the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror to assess the situation.

“Buzz!”

As golden light streamed forth, he spotted a massive, deep blue whale looming in the sky, its eyes filled with hatred as it stared down at him.

Above the giant whale, there appeared a huge black hole, reminiscent of a Yin-Yang Chaos Grinding Mill, seemingly brewing something terrifying that could swallow the heavens and earth.

“Void Kun!”

Lu Changsheng instantly recognized the whale’s species.

“Is this the Void Kun that escaped back then? It’s returned for revenge after breaking through to the fourth tier!?”

He recalled how he had once wounded the Abyssal Sea Whale King and how this Void Kun had occupied the Sea Eye.

Back then, he and Hong Lian had sought revenge for the Abyssal Sea Whale King, reclaiming the Sea Eye, but one of the Void Kuns had managed to escape.

That Void Kun had been a near fourth-tier demon king back then, so it made sense it had now ascended.

However, even Lu Changsheng felt a chill at the thought of this Void Kun’s abilities; it had mastered the powers of the void to an astonishing degree, directly traversing the void and merging with the cosmos.

If not for the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror, he might not have even noticed its presence.

In that moment, a hint of dread crept into Lu Changsheng’s heart.

A fourth-tier demon king was indeed terrifying!

“Let’s go!”

He immediately signaled the Abyssal Sea Whale King to charge at the Void Kun, while he retreated with Lu Lingxiao back to the Immortal City.

The Three Treasure Incarnation also quickly instructed Lu Miaoge and Lu Qingshan to eturn to the Immortal City.

“Roar!”

The moment the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror illuminated the area, the Void Kun realized it had been discovered.

“Humans, and you treacherous beast, prepare to die!”

The Void Kun howled at the approaching Abyssal Sea Whale King, summoning massive tidal waves.

Its roar was like thunder, echoing through the heavens and earth, as if it could shatter the endless void.

Even with the third-tier forbidden formation in place, the cultivators of the Immortal City felt their blood surge with agitation; many Qi Refining cultivators couldn’t withstand the pressure and bled from their orifices, fainting on the spot.

“What’s happening!?”

Panic spread among the crowd, their faces filled with terror and confusion.

“That sound… it’s a fourth-tier demon king! This is a fourth-tier transforming demon king!”

Some cultivators, seemingly realizing the situation, trembled as they spoke.

For the cultivators of the Immortal City, this beast tide was nothing less than a rollercoaster of emotions.

At first, they thought it was just an ordinary beast tide, even coming to hunt demons for resources.

But with the arrival of the four demon kings and the Abyssal Sea Whale King, despair settled in as they feared the city would soon fall.

Then, when the City Lord appeared, revealing the fourth-tier whale king as his spirit pet, the tide turned, and joy spread among them.

Yet now, the most feared fourth-tier demon king had shown up.

“Boom boom boom—”

Above the Immortal City of Da Mengze, the clear blue sky twisted violently, as if the end of the world had come.

Countless void cracks appeared, spreading like abysses.

Destruction!

Devastation!

Brutality!

Waves of chaotic void energy surged forth from these cracks, threatening to engulf the Immortal City of Da Mengze.

The massive form of the Void Kun gradually emerged from the void, exuding an unparalleled sense of oppression, casting dark shadows that pulled in the sea and low-ranking demons into its vortex.

Not only that, the enormous black hole above it spun slowly, as if connecting with the void, ready to devour all creation.

“The aura connects with the void, merging with it. This Void Kun’s mastery over void energy is likely beyond that of Qingluan Zhenren!”

As the shadows of the void enveloped him, Lu Changsheng felt his body suddenly grow heavy.

Without the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror, Lu Lingxiao next to him might have exploded from the pressure.

It can only be said that even among fourth-tier demon kings, there are differences! While this Void Kun may not possess the physical strength of the Abyssal Sea Whale King, its spatial abilities are simply terrifying!

“Buzz!”

Not just Lu Changsheng, the Three Treasure Incarnation, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Qingshan all felt the world around them constrict, immobilizing them.

“Nine Treasures Dao Bone, Essence, Qi, Spirit!”

With the fourth-tier demon king emerging from the shadows, Lu Changsheng no longer hesitated. He unleashed the Nine Treasures Dao Bone, desperate to break free from the void’s binding power and bring the Three Treasure Incarnation, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Qingshan baak to the Immortal City.

“Roar!”

At the same time, the Abyssal Sea Whale King broke through the layers of void restraints, charging toward the Void Kun.

“Roar!!!”

The Void Kun, sensing the Abyssal Sea Whale King’s intent to attack, directed all its void energy at it, forming countless space blades as if to shred the whale king.

Even though the Abyssal Sea Whale King was close to becoming a fourth-tier beast, just a matter of time before its bloodline ascended to true spirit, it was still not a match for the already ascended Void Kun.

Under the pressure of the onslaught, the Abyssal Sea Whale King’s dark-patterned scales quickly dulled.

“Human, today you will die!”

The Void Kun recognized that Lu Changsheng and his group wanted to escape back to the Immortal City and cast a shadow over them, binding them once more.

The enormous black hole above seemed to connect with the void, creating a terrifying devouring force that threatened to engulf them.

“Husband!”

Just then, Hong Lian, radiating an ethereal glow and exuding grace, emerged from the City Lord’s residence.

With the help of the third-tier forbidden formation, she formed an illusory jade dragon that instantly protected the Three Treasure Incarnation, Lu Miaoge, Lu Qingshan, and LL Lingxiao, allowing them to escape to the Immortal City.

“Is this the true power of a fourth-tier demon king!?”

Lu Qingshan gazed up at the Void Kun, which blocked out the sky, his heart racing.

Even with his Immortal Golden Core and the power to slay third-tier early demon kings, he felt utterly helpless before this fourth-tier demon king!

“Is this the City Lord’s wife? She’s as enchanting as the legendary Yunmeng Fairy!”

As Hong Lian appeared, many people cast their gazes toward her.

However, upon seeing her divine figure and ethereal beauty, they quickly averted their eyes, fearing they might offend a goddess.

“Void Kun, you dare to harm my spirit pet and stir up such chaos? You can still retreat while you can, or today will be your last!”

Seeing that his family was safe, Lu Changsheng, shrouded in chaotic energy, stood tall amidst the heavens and earth, coldly declaring, his blood and mana roaring like an ocean, defying the Void Kun’s binding power.

With the Chaos Body and the Nine Treasures Dao Bone, his mana and physique were now on par with Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even though this Void Kun’s void abilities were fearsome, it was merely a newly ascended fourth-tier demon king!

“Hiss!”

“Hiss!”

The cultivators of the Immortal City were momentarily stunned by Lu Changsheng’s words.

They never expected this City Lord to remain unfazed in the face of a fourth-tier demon king, boldly issuing such a threat.

“Roar!!!”

Enraged by Lu Changsheng’s defiance, the Void Kun howled at the sky, redirecting its wrath from the Abyssal Sea Whale King to him, intent on crushing him into the endless void.

“Roar!”

As the Void Kun’s pressure eased, the Abyssal Sea Whale King immediately broke free, roaring as it summoned a relentless maelstrom that struck the heavens.

Meanwhile, the Angry Sea Spear Shark and the Eight-Legged Demon Fish seemed to sense their leader’s return, roaring as they threatened the Abyssal Sea Whale King.

“Hong Lian!”

Lu Changsheng wasn’t truly trying to drive off the Void Kun; he simply aimed to provoke it.

“Screech!”

Hong Lian, glowing with divine light, stood tall and elegant, as a divine phoenix soared into the sky, letting out a powerful cry that ignited a sea of flames.

In an instant, her power surged from the sixth level of Core Formation to the ninth level, and she unleashed the Beast Taming Ancient Rune with full force.

“Buzz!”

The small Beast Taming Ancient Rune radiated unparalleled five-colored brilliance as it illuminated the Void Kun.

“Boom!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng felt his body swell with immense power, shattering through the numerous restraints of the Void Kun. He received the Immortal City formation plate from Hong Lian, signaling her to delay for a moment.

Then he stepped forward, instantly appearing above the City Lord’s residence, casting spells and merging with the formation, solemnly commanding, “Everyone in the Immortal City, stabilize the formation and channel all your strength!”

“Zixiao, activate the Spirit-Enhancement Formation!”

“Sister Miaoge!”

At Lu Changsheng’s command, Lu Lingxiao immediately took charge of the Immortal City’s formation.

Ling Zixiao also activated the pre-set Spirit-Enhancement Formation, burning all the prepared Spirit Stones to unleash a torrent of terrifying spiritual energy.

Lu Miaoge and the Three Treassre Incarnation disregarded the Immortal City’s restrictions, riding the divine rainbow straight toward the City Lord’s residence.

“Boom!”

The Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror rose high above Lu Changsheng, shining like a blazing sun or a radiant moon.

The grand formation of the Immortal City shimmered with a brilliant blue glassy glow, but in this moment, it was flooded with endless radiance from the sun and moon.

Endless solar essence flowed, illuminating the world with a dazzling brilliance.

Yet beneath this radiant surface, endless moonlight cascaded down, cold and profound.

“What’s happening?”

Someone exclaimed, looking up at the sky, where the sun and moon shone together, casting vibrant colors as if cloaking the entire realm.

Lu Miaoge and the Three Treassre Incarnation approached Lu Changsheng.

Lu Miaoge channeled the Supreee Goodness Like Water Method, pouring all her mana into Lu Changsheng, while the Three Treasure Incarnation transformed into a pill, entering his body as pure, rich vitality.

“Ah Wu, blast it for me!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, gazing at the Void Kun outside the Immortal City, his eyes shooting out two long beams of golden light, continuously infusing mana into the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror.

“I suggest you use the solar essence, Master.”

Within the mirror appeared a cute girl dressed in the attire of the Sun-Moon Palace, her expression blank as she advised Lu Changsheng.

“As long as it can blast it, either the sun or moon will do.”

Lu Changsheng paid no heed to these details; his goal was singular.

To annihilate the fourth-tier Void Kun! “Understood!”

Ah Wu vanished from the mirror.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

The spiritual energy of the Immortal City surged wildly at this moment, gathering like a breach toward the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror.

Even with Lu Changsheng merged with the formation and his boundless mana, he struggled to sustain the burning mana within the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror; his meridians ached under the terrifying spiritual pressure.

Meanwhile, the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror rose like a great sun, dazzling and radiant, emitting an aura of pure yang.

“What is this?”

At that moment, everyone looked up, trying to understand what was happening, but they could see nothing clearly, only feeling a sharp pain in their eyes.

The Void Kun outside the Immortal City suddenly sensed an ominous premonition.

As a fourth-tier demon king, the Immortal City shouldn’t threaten it.

Yet, demon beasts have a keen instinct for danger.

Seeing the Abyssal Sea Whale King and Hong Lian shrouded in the shadow of the void, it made a quick decision, its massive form retreating into the void to observe the situation.

However, at that instant, a divine light, as if a billion suns converged, shot down from above the Immortal City, illuminating the entire sky with endless light and heat.

Even though the Void Kun had already retreated into the void, this divine sunlight pierced through the burning void, creating a sea of flames that engulfed it.
