1566 Fighting the Escaped Immortal(2)
"Divine Master, huh? Finally, some challenge." Yuan smiled upon seeing the Immortal's increased cultivation.
"That arrogance won't last long!" The Immortal roared before they rushed at Yuan.
Just the pressure from the Immortal's aura alone would kill an ordinary Spirit King. However, Yuan had the Golden Immortal Physique, as well as a Sword Body, so he barely felt it.
"Shrouded Illusion!"
The mist around the Immortal suddenly began spreading, quickly covering a hundred miles around them.
While inside the mist, Yuan's Divine Sense and eyes were rendered useless. The only thing he could rely on was his Divine Gaze and instincts.
Suddenly, as though a massive hoard of monsters appeared, Yuan could hear loud noises approaching him from a distance. Soon, thousands of silhouettes appeared, crashing toward him like a wave.
Each individual silhouette had a distinct aura and presence, making them feel incredibly real, almost indistinguishable from reality.
Without hesitation, Yuan fiercely swung Dragon's Soul, instantly destroying the hoard of silhouettes and scattering the mist like smoke.
However, the mist quickly restored itself, and another illusion appeared shortly after.
Moreover, the mist started transforming into a background until the mists were no longer visible, and Yuan quickly found himself in the middle of a bustling city.
"Chicken skewers here! Come get your chicken skewers!"
"Free newspapers! Free newspapers!"
"Mom, I am tired. Let's go home already."
The pedestrians spoke and acted like real humans. The smell of chicken skewers reached Yuan's nose, and he could even feel the heat coming from the blazing sun in the sky. It was almost as if he'd been teleported to an actual city. However, Yuan's expression remained nonchalant.
'This is quite a powerful illusion… I wouldn't blame anyone for falling to it, ' he thought.
If one had weak mental strength, one would quickly lose oneself in the illusion and fail to distinguish fake from reality.
Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A second later, when he opened them again, he could no longer see the people or the city, and the mist was visible once again.
Moreover, several spiritual attacks were launched in his direction.
Despite seeing the attacks and having plenty of time to avoid them, Yuan stood still and allowed the attacks to strike his body.
The impact from the attacks was strong enough to blow the mist field away. Yet, Yuan remained still, and his body was only slightly injured.
By the time the Immortal even realized Yuan had survived the attack, his injuries had already healed completely.
"Heavens! He took several Divine Master's attacks with his bare body and took virtually no damage! What is his body made of?!" Kelan's eyes widened with shock after witnessing this.
Despite being a Body Refiner himself, Kelan could not imagine the extent to which Yuan had tempered his physique to be able to achieve such a ridiculous feat.
Although the Immortal's face wasn't visible, Yuan could tell they were greatly shocked by his durability.
Not only did Yuan casually shrug off their powerful illusion, but he even ate several of their spiritual attacks with his bare body and came out unscathed.
The Immortal were beginning to wonder whether they could defeat Yuan without using their full strength. However, even if they managed to kill Yuan, they would have to deal with their pursuers afterward.
'Damn it all! Why did I have to encounter such a fucking monster in the Fourth Heaven?! My luck is rotten to the core!' The Immortal cried inwardly. They'd managed to escape from the Nine Heavens Eternal Grotto to the Fourth Heaven without feeling half as cornered as they were currently, and it was all due to a single mortal.
'Fuck it! Let's just quickly kill him and hope my pursuers aren't so close that I won't be able to escape!'
The Immortal increased their cultivation once again, reaching all the way to the peak of Divine Grandmaster.
The aura being emitted by the Immortal now was at least four times stronger than before.
Sensing the tyrannical aura coming from the Immortal, Yuan knew that even his godly body would not be able to endure a single hit from the Immortal.
The difference between Spirit Master and Spirit Grandmaster was simply too massive for him to ignore.
'I guess it's finally time to fight seriously.'
For the first time during their fight, Yuan equipped his equipment, from the Stygian Vest to the Stygian Boots.
Indeed, Yuan had been empty-handed this entire time while fighting the Immortal.
The moment Yuan equipped his equipment, his aura changed drastically.
The Immortal frowned at this and, without hesitation, increased their cultivation once again, becoming a Divine Lord.
The Stygian Vest could deflect all attacks below Divine Lord, but that ability was rendered useless the moment the Immortal became a Divine Lord. However, Yuan was using it for its life-saving skill, so it was still useful.
Yuan and the Immortal began their clash shortly after. The two of them moved at the speed of light, and every exchange would fill the surface of the Purple Sea with large craters.
The immense spiritual energy emitted by their fight rippled far and wide, reaching even the Pavilion of Knowledge.
After sensing the powerful ripples, Bai Ning and the others within the Pavilion of Knowledge stopped whatever they were doing and became alert.
"What powerful spiritual energy! Two Divine Realm experts must be fighting each other nearby! I need to check this out!" Bai Ning looked at Xuan Wei and said, "I'll be back."
Since she had nothing to do while waiting for Xuan Kun, Bai Ning decided to entertain herself with this event.
"Allow me to come with you just in case…" Xuan Wei hastily said.
"Just in case what? You're not even qualified to protect me when you're so weak." Bai Ning sneered at his attempt to be a knight, as his cultivation was nowhere near hers. If anything, she would be the one protecting him.
Xuan Wei's face flushed with embarrassment after being reminded he was weaker than her. He lowered his head in silence, and Bai Ning left the place and made her way toward Yuan.
