Chapter 2528: Chapter 2528: Netherworld Origin
At this moment, the killing intent from Hou Yang’s body had faded significantly, and his aura seemed to have vanished.
However, the sense of tension in Jing Yan’s heart was wildly escalating.
Jing Yan clenched the Ice Flame Sword in his hand, gazing at Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, who was like a deflated ball. Jing Yan knew that the next confrontation would likely be a clash that would decide victory or defeat. Although Hou Yang Immortal Venerable’s aura had fallen, the danger had skyrocketed ten to a hundred times!
The first encounter was a test. The second confrontation, although full force was used, was a conventional means. For someone like Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, it’s impossible not to have special techniques. Their attack capabilities are definitely not limited to ordinary spells and the like. It’s worth noting that even some cultivators at the Immortal Realm level might master certain Forbidden Secret Techniques.
Those ancient figures who have lived for countless ages certainly have some trump card techniques. Such techniques are not easily used but can act as the final killer move, possessing extremely terrifying power.
Just like Jing Yan’s Thunder Origin Immortal Skill, like Jing Yan’s Clear Wave Soul Technique.
In his previous second confrontation with Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, Jing Yan used a Soul Technique, but it was just the Low-level Soul Skill Shadow Soul Kill. If it were Clear Wave, it would not be something any Soul Technique Defense Magical Treasure could easily block.
"I would be quite pleased to witness your rarely seen techniques, Hou Yang Immortal Venerable." Jing Yan said in a calm voice.
"Alright! Then... let’s begin!" Hou Yang Immortal Venerable grinned fiercely.
The golden long spear in his hand began to move once again. This time, his movements were slower. The golden long spear slowly moved in front of him. As it moved slowly, an eternally existing aura emerged from the spear.
The color of the golden spear body quickly changed. The original golden color turned into a withered leaf color in a very short time. Noticeable mottled marks appeared on the spear body.
The aged aura unconsciously spread out.
The entire Hongmeng City and the tens of thousands or even millions of miles surrounding it were filled with an extremely desolate atmosphere. All cultivators within this range could feel a sense of killing solemnity. Some weaker cultivators even had hallucinations, as if they found themselves on an ancient battlefield. Surrounding them were skeletal remains existing for unknown billions of years, and beneath their feet lay blood-soaked brown rocks.
The desolate aura uncontrollably took root and flourished within their hearts.
"Supreme Dao Rhythm!" Jing Yan’s heart trembled violently.
Sure enough, Jing Yan sensed the Supreme Dao Rhythm.
Generally speaking, only those at the Immortal Emperor level would display Supreme Dao Rhythm. Immortal Emperors grasp Supreme Dao Rhythms and even create Supreme Laws, beyond the reach of those below the Immortal Emperor.
According to what Jing Yan knew, if someone other than an Immortal Emperor displayed Supreme Dao Rhythm, the explanation could only be one of two things: it’s either an Immortal Skill or an Emperor Weapon. And despite the terrifying nature of the long spear in Hou Yang Immortal Venerable’s hand, it was not an Emperor Weapon. This means the attack that Hou Yang Immortal Venerable is about to launch will be an Immortal Skill.
"Immortal Skill!" Jing Yan had the answer in his heart.
It’s extremely difficult for an Immortal Venerable to grasp Immortal Skills. Jing Yan could master Thunder Origin because he directly received the Thunder Emperor’s legacy, and he possesses a Divine Soul Body with nearly perfect purity. Otherwise, Jing Yan would have no confidence whatsoever in mastering an Immortal Skill. Yet this Hou Yang Immortal Venerable has also mastered an Immortal Skill.
The person in front of him is the first Immortal Venerable realm cultivator Jing Yan has seen who has mastered an Immortal Skill.
...
Headquarters of the Eight Gods Pill Sect!
Sect Master Ming Ze had just taken out his communication magical treasure. There aren’t many in the Heavenly Domain who can directly send messages to Sect Master Ming Ze. Not counting the high-level members within the Eight Gods Pill Sect, the number of people who can send messages to him personally would be even fewer.
The one sending a message to Sect Master Ming Ze at this moment is someone from outside the Eight Gods Pill Sect.
This individual is none other than the Heavenly Mechanism Commerce President Jiang Yue.
"President Jiang Yue!" Sect Master Ming Ze responded.
"Sect Master Ming Ze, you’re also paying attention to the situation in Hongmeng City, aren’t you?" President Jiang Yue asked.
Both the Eight Gods Pill Sect and Tianji Trading House have high-ranking elders in Hongmeng City, so the leaders of these two superpowers can quickly be aware of the situation in Hongmeng City. The two leaders know that Jing Yan in Hongmeng City refuses to share the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye, and they also know that Hou Yang Immortal Venerable and Jing Yan have already crossed paths, furthermore, they are aware that Jing Yan isn’t at a disadvantage in the confrontation.
"Yes, I am constantly informed." Sect Master Ming Ze replied.
With Sect Master Ming Ze are several elder-level figures from the Eight Gods Pill Sect, some of whom are continually communicating with Elder Kang Li. The battle situation outside Hongmeng City is transmitted to the headquarters of the Eight Gods Pill Sect with no more than a breath of delay.
The Tianji Trading House is similar to the Eight Gods Pill Sect in that President Jiang Yue is also keeping a real-time watch.
"This Jing Yan’s strength exceeds expectations. He can actually match Hou Yang Immortal Venerable." President Jiang Yue said uneasily.
He said ’match’ in a rather understated way. Because, in the battle, Hou Yang Immortal Venerable is the one at a disadvantage.
"Is President Jiang Yue concerned that Hou Yang Immortal Venerable will lose to Jing Yan?" Sect Master Ming Ze chuckled, feeling more at ease than President Jiang Yue. His tone showed no concern, as if even at this moment, he still had a hundred percent confidence in Hou Yang Immortal Venerable.
"Is Sect Master Ming Ze not the least bit worried? With the current battle situation, even if Hou Yang Immortal Venerable doesn’t lose, there seems to be little hope of suppressing Jing Yan." President Jiang Yue said, worried about the possibility of backfiring.
If the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye isn’t obtained, Tianji Trading House would suffer considerable losses. Initially, Tianji Trading House could at least purchase some Qianhe Zhenye from Hongmeng City, but after this event, that’s definitely no longer possible.
"President Jiang Yue doesn’t need to worry, Hou Yang Immortal Venerable will surely win. Heh, Jing Yan is indeed strong, but ultimately, he is just a young cultivator." Sect Master Ming Ze said with a smile.
"Why is Sect Master Ming Ze so confident?" President Jiang Yue asked with a frown.
Upon hearing President Jiang Yue’s question, Sect Master Ming Ze didn’t immediately answer but paused for a moment.
Then, he said: "President Jiang Yue surely knows about the Netherworld Origin, right?"
"Hoo!" President Jiang Yue exhaled during the communication.
Netherworld Origin?
Of course, President Jiang Yue knows about the Netherworld Origin! It’s an Immortal Skill.
Speaking of it, these superpowers in the Heavenly Domain, if they exert all their efforts, they can manage to acquire one or two Immortal Skills. However, acquiring Immortal Skills and mastering them are entirely different matters. Leaders of superpowers like President Jiang Yue and Sect Master Ming Ze have never mastered Immortal Skills.
"Sect Master Ming Ze, are you saying... Hou Yang Immortal Venerable has mastered the Immortal Skill Netherworld Origin?" President Jiang Yue said in shock.
