Chapter 838: Chapter 449: Seventh Life: Borrowing Cultivation for an All-in Gamble!_2
The two of them simultaneously took a few steps back, but Lu Yuan had yet to stabilize his stance when he charged forward again, engaging in close combat.
A trace of blood slipped from the corner of Tian Hao’s mouth, but with divine power coursing through him, he instantly returned to peak condition.
However, a chilling murderous intent flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating he was truly enraged.
Since his debut, he had swept through peers undefeated; this was the first time he had fallen behind.
What was even harder for him to accept was being injured by a mere remnant of the Immortal Race!
"Just a remnant of the Immortal Race, you can’t stir up any storms!"
Tian Hao’s eyes were sinister as a Dragon Pattern Divine Spear suddenly appeared in his hand.
The long spear was like a dragon, emitting an icy brilliance.
Especially the incredibly sharp spear tip, with divine light flowing, seemed capable of piercing through the heavens and the earth, causing Lu Yuan’s entire body to break out in goosebumps.
"Is this the Lifebound Immortal Soldier that’s been baptized by great tribulations?"
Lu Yuan’s expression turned serious.
The surface of the Dragon Pattern Long Spear was covered with law patterns, among which five Celestial Tribulation Dao Marks were most prominent.
It was well known.
The Tribulation Immortal Venerables stand beyond the worldly matters, not tolerated by heaven and earth, and must endure myriad tribulations to achieve Daoist Perfection.
Their Lifebound Immortal Soldier similarly needs to undergo celestial tribulations to bear more Law Dao Marks.
And the Dragon Pattern Long Spear in Tian Hao’s hand had already crossed five great tribulations, appearing as a Fifth-Transformation Immortal Soldier!
"Swoosh!"
Lu Yuan intended to engage in close combat, but before he could approach, that divine spear turned into a streak of icy light, thrusting straight at his heart.
An inch longer is an inch stronger.
And this divine spear was eight feet long, meaning as long as Tian Hao wielded it, he would always ensure he’d have the upper hand!
Lu Yuan was forcibly pushed back, his body slightly tilting, narrowly skirting past the spear tip.
However, even so, the sharp spear tip carved a long crack across the surface of his Immortal Robe.
"The Lifebound Immortal Soldier is something cultivated with the Tribulation Immortal Venerable, more important than a wife or children, equating to the fighter’s second life, hardly lending it to others."
"For someone to acquire a Fifth-Transformation Tribulation Immortal Soldier, their capabilities indeed reach the heavens."
Lu Yuan said helplessly.
The Five Elements Immortal Robe, although possessing impressive defenses, was the most top-grade among Top-Grade Immortal Artifacts.
But the divine spear in Tian Hao’s hand, having endured five great tribulations, had reached the pinnacle of terror in its potency.
What they called a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact was as fragile as paper before it, utterly unable to withstand a single blow.
If pierced, even a Great Success Divine Body would be punctured in an instant.
Lu Yuan, now unarmed, was forced to retreat step by step under Tian Hao’s relentless pressure, finding himself in this tricky situation for the very first time.
"Bang!"
The Dragon Pattern Divine Spear in Tian Hao’s hand, at an inconceivable angle, struck like lightning toward Lu Yuan’s brow.
Although he narrowly dodged this strike.
Tian Hao seemingly anticipated this, changing his move unexpectedly, without withdrawing the long spear, he wielded it like a staff, smashing heavily onto Lu Yuan’s chest, sending him flying.
Don’t be fooled by the seemingly light strike, appearing to lack strength.
But in reality.
For powerful beings at their realm, even a flick of the finger could easily shatter a planet.
Moreover, Tian Hao possessed the Strongest Divine Body, coupled with a Fifth-Transformation Immortal Soldier spear, capable of instantly annihilating a True Immortal Perfection practitioner with just this strike!
Lu Yuan sustained a grievous injury, hurtling backwards for dozens of miles, shattering innumerable mountain peaks along the way, before barely managing to stabilize his stance.
As he rose from the ground, all the flesh and bones in his chest were thoroughly crushed, and his heart was reduced to a mass of pulp.
Thanks to the automatic shield function of the Five Elements Immortal Robe, diminishing much of the power, otherwise, he would have exploded on the spot into a mist of blood!
"A direct lineage successor of the Celestial Divine Race, indeed very troublesome to deal with."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, Yimu Divine Power surging within him, emitting rich vitality, causing all his wounds to heal instantly, returning to their original state.
It’s undeniable.
While the Celestial Divine Race was selfish and shortsighted, having locked down the entire Immortal Realm.
Their ability to maintain such long-standing control, even outwitting the Will of the Heavens, indicates their power is indeed formidable beyond measure.
Even if any simulator were to come, it would be a certain death scenario.
Because apart from being innately holy with extraordinary talent, the Celestial Divine Race uses only the top-notch resources in the cosmos for Daoist skills, Immortal Soldiers, Divine Techniques, and Spirit Medicines.
They enslave Ancient Saints and employ True Immortals as servants.
Since youth, they have Tribulation Immortal Venerables streamlining their bones, providing cultivation guidance.
Despite Tian Hao only being at the Half-Step Immortal Venerable Realm, even a Second-Turned Immortal Venerable might not be his match.
While Lu Yuan possessed multi-life cultivation experiences, the cultivation techniques and secret manuals from lower-level planes couldn’t hold a candle to the Daluo True Inheritor techniques of the Eight-Star Cultivation World.
One could say.
When he truly faced a direct lineage of the Celestial Divine Race, his previously relied upon advantages turned into disadvantages.
After all, how could an NPC from a private server compare to a real player?
Fortunately, Lu Yuan had cheats!
Thinking of this.
He took a deep breath, immediately activating [Reverse Cause and Effect], deciding to pre-emptively draw on a few cultivation techniques and divine powers.
Pre-emptively draw on the Five Elements Immortal Technique!
Pre-emptively draw on the Vast Sea Covering Heaven Skill!
Pre-emptively draw on the Taiyi Splitting Light Sword Technique!
Pre-emptively draw on the Ancient Divine Power - Sleeve Universe!
Lu Yuan did not hesitate, using up all his four remaining pre-emptive slots in one go.
Originally, to speed up his cultivation, he intended to wait until becoming a Tribulation Immortal Venerable before cultivating these techniques.
After all, borrowed cultivation must ultimately be repaid.
If he drew too much cultivated experience in advance, it would significantly impede his breakthrough progress.
But Lu Yuan hadn’t anticipated encountering a direct lineage successor of the Celestial Divine Race in the Immortal Burial Valley.
Facing such a formidable opponent, continuous holding back might truly lead to an unexpected defeat.
So why not go all in directly!
Immediately after.
Talent effect activated, cultivation power arrived!
An endless, vast divine power surged from deep within his body.
Among these cultivation techniques, aside from the Five Elements Immortal Technique, the other two were considered common crowd-pleasers.
But with sheer quantity!
Moreover, [Reverse Cause and Effect] automatically perfected the techniques, striving to reach theoretical limits.
Even the most common basic technique in Lu Yuan’s hands could instantly transform into an unparalleled ultimate skill!
Fueled by this surging divine power.
His previously withered aura now surged madly, reaching unprecedented heights.
Not only that.
Law Dao Marks appeared all over Lu Yuan’s body surface.
These Dao Marks blended perfectly with the texture of his skin, seamlessly enhancing his overall combat power by several multiples!
In an instant.
Lu Yuan’s understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws deepened, feeling the world transformed dramatically.
When he looked again.
He found Tian Hao’s previously masterful and supposedly unbeatable spear techniques now riddled with flaws.
Especially the dreadful might of the Supreme True Demon Array, now rendered ineffective against him, incapable of imposing any further restraint.
Though due to all his powered-up cultivation being pre-emptively drawn, he still couldn’t step into the Tribulation Immortal Venerable Realm.
Yet Lu Yuan felt that his power had far surpassed in the past, experiencing a qualitative leap.
Not an Immortal Venerable, yet surpassing one!
"How is this possible? Did he have a breakthrough on the spot?"
Feeling Lu Yuan’s sudden surge in power, Tian Hao was utterly shocked and incredulous.
Not just him.
All engaged in fierce combat fell silent this moment.
The Cyan Flood Dragon Ancestor, Shepherd Ancestor, and Asura Demon Venerable, all were shaken to their core, turning fiercely toward where Lu Yuan stood.
In their impression, while Lu Yuan’s power was decent, it was only so much and lacked the ability to compete with Tian Hao, destined to be defeated and killed.
But now.
Lu Yuan, in some inexplicable manner, had his cultivation surge, imposing a strong threat even on these Second-Turned Immortal Venerables!
"Without the descent of the Immortal Venerable Tribulation, this doesn’t seem like a breakthrough on the spot."
"What’s the hell is going on? Why does it seem like he’s even stronger than a Second-Turned Immortal Venerable now?"
"Could it be that pushed to a desperate corner, he accidentally unlocked all his potential?"
"What nonsense about potential, this seat has fought countless life and death battles, why hasn’t my cultivation surged like his?"
Everyone was uncertain and suspicious, filled with countless conjectures.
But Lu Yuan didn’t let up, seizing the moment of Tian Hao’s shaken spirit, holding his fingers like a sword, he slashed down at his head!
