Chapter 962: Scaring its Soul Out of Its Body
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Restraint by the world, Lu Xuan wasn’t able to cast more of the laws. Yet, using the law of space solely was already enough—he had already cultivated it to an unfathomable level. As a Celestial Lord in his past life, he must have had an ace up his sleeve. Hence, he had various maneuvers to enhance his skills.
The grumpy old Cambion was no stranger to him. Previously, it had been one of his mortal enemies at this very same stage of his life. Back then, Lu Xuan had just killed the leader of the Xuonhuo Sect when they met. As the Cambions had invaded Earth, Lu Xuan had become the thorn in their flesh, the strongest of the Earthlings. The two sides had engaged in blood-soaked wars until several years later—when Lu Xuan had obtained a Cultivation manuscript for the Immortal Realm. Eventually, he had a breakthrough, reaching the Immortal Realm with all his might, and then he killed the Cambion. Talk about archnemesis.
Still, all were in the past. Right now, it had seemed so mediocre. They were both at the Immortal Realm, but their difference was like chalk and cheese.
Suddenly, something odd had happened. The Cambion had retched up a demonic blade from its mouth—it was as thin as paper, almost invisible. The next instant, this very blade had pierced through Lu Shanshan’s shield magic, leaving a gaping wound penetrating to the bone on her chest. She was now heavily injured.
Everyone became solemn. Her combat experience wasn’t considered shallow, yet, it was far inferior to the Cambion. Not to mention how it had been cultivating at the Immortal Realm for at least thousands of years. Even if Lu Shanshan was a genius, she had lacked cultivation experience, and she was no match for its astuteness.
As each realm would have been through different battle experiences, the combat style of an elite from the Immortal Realm would excel one from the Consolidation Realm: every move of an Immortal Realm elite had a formidable effect, having an impact for over thousands of kilometers. Universal-wise, if it had happened on someplace like Earth that had expanded countless times, such a fight would have a coverage of more than one-third of Earth’s surface area.
“Prepare to die, humans!” The Cambion shouted, his entire body emitting a demonic aura. In the beginning, the Cambions were human-shifted. After their transformation, all that was left was their diabolic side, fearsome as they were.
As it cast its attack, devil qi instantly filled the air, breaking through the universal barrier. The Will of the distant Cambion World was reacting to this change, sending out warning signals in a faint manner.
No medium-class world would be able to withstand the bombardment of such a high-leveled elite. So, they would be hostile against anyone exerting this kind of power, even if the high-leveled elite was born from the same world as they were. It became their instinct to protect their world from being vandalized.
“Ha!” Lu Shanshan yelled, a burst of glaring light shining out from her body as it grew into a golden giant, shielding her within—it was similar to the skill Lu Xuan had—a unique ability of the lineage of the born Taoism aptitude.
However, the demonic blade would still be able to strike through the golden giant. With unimaginable power, it had contained the law of the demon. With this very law attaching ability, the Cambion had outranked Lu Shanshan.
It was a finger that had appeared out of thin air at this critical moment. With just a touch, it had blocked the demon blade that was slashing down.
“How is this possible!” The Cambion roared. With its current strength and its demon blade, which it had nurtured for thousands of years, it was so hard to believe that somebody had blocked its attack with ease—such insanity!
At this second, it had realized that there was another stature right in front of it—a gorgeous young boy in a moon-white robe, looking in his late teens.
That was him—he had blocked its attack with a finger. A sickly feeling of fear had washed over it. It knew it was in grave danger and how terrifying the boy in front of him was. The thing was—it had reached the Immortal Realm, and he thought he was one of the most horrifying existence among all in the mundane universe.
For long, it had ensured that no other more powerful worlds would conquer the Cambion World. Because it was too powerful, it had stayed out of the Cambion World most of the time. If it had lingered around, it would have felt the Will of the Cambion World repudiating his presence.
In the universe, there were still a few scattered Immortal Realm elites. Not all of them had wanted to ascend to another world, though they could have progressed further, leveling up. The reason was that they weren’t ready to give up their current charmed life, which they could do as they like, being almighty, and start all over in an upper-class world where they would become the newcomers.
Elites of the Immortal Realm were supreme beings in the mortal world. Yet, in terms of a higher dimension, they were nothing more than ordinary. They could barely fit in as extraordinary existences. There were far more elites that were much more powerful than those in the Immortal Realm. In front of such elites, they were amateurs, weak like ants.
Those who had cultivated and reach the Immortal Realm in a mundane world were more than average. They would have possessed exceptional talent, having unimaginable fortuitous encounters that would benefit their cultivation as the precedent to reach their cultivation to the Immortal Realm in a mundane world. Not many in the entire universe could have done that—the Cambion World was considered one of the top 100 worlds, yet there was only one who had done so. The planets in the other vast worlds wouldn’t have even heard of such a level.
Since not every Immortal Realm elite was willing to go to a higher dimensional world and start over, some had preferred to be kings and tyrants in the mundane world. As it had traveled across the universe for years, though there weren’t many Immortal Realm elites, it would occasionally run into some. Yet, even if they had come from a more powerful world than the Cambion World, they weren’t necessarily stronger. At most, they were six of one, half a dozen of the other, and no winner would be declared.
It hated to admit it—it had underestimated the Immortal Realm elites from this universe. Now, they had clashed, and they were going to fight face-to-face.
There and then, it could sense an indefinite, terrifying threat, scaring its soul out of its body.
