297: Ascendant

Although he had long known of the extraordinary nature of the Immortal Embryo, Jiang Daoqing had only heard of it and had never seen someone who had achieved the Immortal Embryo cultivate.

Although the Holy Son Zhao Yujing also possessed an Immortal Embryo, Jiang Daoqing never had the chance to see him up close. Lu Chen was the first he had seen.

Therefore, he was so amazed by the extraordinary nature of the Immortal Embryo!

Gu Wen Zhao, Fan Yan Bo, these two Protectors, as well as the Fifth Elder and other Elders, might only marvel at Lu Chen's rapid cultivation speed, but in Jiang Daoqing's eyes, Lu Chen's Immortal Embryo was the most astonishing aspect.

Why is it called 'Immortal Embryo'?

Because it truly contains a wisp of the intent of the Immortal Path, which holds unimaginable benefits for Lu Chen's future cultivation, and even his Ascension Realm. That wisp of the intent of the Immortal Path will pave the way for Lu Chen.

This also means that Lu Chen's future cultivation will be exceptionally smooth!

It's no exaggeration to say that after achieving the Immortal Embryo, as long as they don't fall midway or get trapped by inner demons, their future achievement will be at least that of an Ascended Being!

What was frustrating was that Jiang Daoqing himself had not cultivated the Immortal Embryo, only the nine-inch nine ultimate Dao Embryo. Even more frustrating was that he was currently guarding two Immortal Embryos breaking through, one was the Holy Son, and the other was a little fellow who might even surpass the Holy Son in the future.

The Holy Son was better off; his achievements had long reached the peak of creation, and even while cultivating and breaking through, he didn't emit a single trace of immortal aura. But Lu Chen's cultivation directly pushed that wisp of immortal aura into his face, it was incredibly uncomfortable!

The Immortal Embryo is amazing!

Not watching anymore!

Thus, in this Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, only Lu Chen and the Holy Son were left in seclusion, along with the two Protectors and the Fifth Elder and others who were watching Lu Chen.

Because they couldn't understand the Holy Son's cultivation in seclusion, they could only choose to watch Lu Chen.

Two days later, Chen Tianshu, who had left, returned, but his expression wasn't good.

"Senior Grand Uncle, what is the current situation in this Azure Underworld?" Jiang Daoqing quickly rose, bowed, and inquired.

Chen Tianshu shook his head, "The situation is not optimistic, many people have died!"

In the battle where Jiang Daoqing struck and killed an Old Red Dragon and returned, the many Great Experts, Great Power, and Demon Clan members who had pursued the Demon Immortal fought all the way to the top of the Azure Underworld, only to realize later that the Demon Immortal had already silently sealed the entire Azure Underworld.

The Human Race Great Experts and Great Power whose time was running out were shocked and enraged, but they were suppressed by the Demon Immortal who joined forces with the Demon Clan Great Experts and Great Power. After one battle, the Human Race Great Experts and Great Power whose time was running out suffered heavy casualties, with nearly half being swallowed alive by the Demon Immortal.

Until the Human Race Great Experts and Great Power scattered, the Demon Immortal and the Demon Clan did not pursue them, because the Azure Underworld had been completely sealed by the Demon Immortal, and all the Human Race in the Azure Underworld had become turtles in a jar!

Afterwards, the Demon Clan Great Power made a move, launching a surprise attack on the Human Race Heavenly Pride who had come from the Starry Sky, wanting to catch them all. Fortunately, Feng Jie's Master, that mysterious existence from the Da Yan Holy Land, intervened, but this also attracted more Demon Clan Great Power, to the extent that Feng Jie's Master couldn't hold on, was beaten to the point of coughing blood and retreating, and in haste, only managed to take Solitary Pride and Feng Jie, as well as a small number of Human Race Heavenly Pride.

More Human Race Heavenly Pride who came from the Starry Sky were captured by the Demon Clan Great Power, and if nothing unexpected happened, they should have all been devoured by that Demon Immortal.

After Chen Tianshu left the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, he contacted that mysterious existence from the Da Yan Holy Land, who was also Feng Jie's Master. The two peak existences traveled throughout the entire Azure Underworld together and have only just returned.

"That Demon Immortal has devoured many Human Race Great Experts and Great Power whose time was running out, as well as numerous Human Race Heavenly Pride. His strength must be recovering rapidly now. But this requires time. In these two days, I and that one from the Da Yan Holy Land traveled throughout the entire Azure Underworld, actually also intending to probe that Demon Immortal, but he did not make a move," Chen Tianshu said slowly.

Jiang Daoqing became increasingly worried after hearing this, "If that Demon Immortal's strength recovers further, it will likely be even more difficult to leave the Azure Underworld!"

Chen Tianshu waved his hand, "That old fellow from the Da Yan Holy Land and I didn't travel throughout this Azure Underworld for nothing."

In these two days, they were both probing the Demon Immortal and looking for a way to break the Azure Underworld's seal. They finally concluded that to break this seal, they must use a formation to break a formation!

"Use a formation to break a formation?!" Jiang Daoqing was puzzled.

Chen Tianshu nodded, "I came back to get some things from you." He then looked at Zhao Yujing, "The Holy Son hasn't finished cultivating yet?!"

He frowned slightly!

To use a formation to break a formation, he also needed to set up a large formation, but there were too many spiritual items required for setting up the formation, and he couldn't gather them all. Jiang Daoqing might have some, and the Holy Son should also have some!

Unfortunately, the Holy Son was still in seclusion, and it was not good to interrupt him.

Chen Tianshu only returned for less than an hour. After taking many spiritual items from Jiang Daoqing, he disappeared without a trace again.

Several more days passed, and the pure Yang light on Lu Chen's body became increasingly refined. It was clear that he was not far from completely cultivating the Yang God.

The piles of spiritual stones accumulated in front of him had been exhausted one after another.

In contrast, the Holy Son Zhao Yujing remained completely still.

On this day, Jiang Daoqing was suddenly startled and looked outside the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb.

In his eyes, the Azure Underworld was undergoing an extremely terrifying tremor at this moment. Astonishing formation patterns emerged in the Northern Frontier, eventually transforming into round after round of great suns, connecting with the universe starry sky, rising against the firmament, and colliding most terrifyingly with the unknown great formation above the Azure Underworld. The entire Azure Underworld was illuminated by these round after round of great suns, trembling as if it were about to completely shatter.

Subsequently, Jiang Daoqing saw a terrifying large hand reaching out from an unknown place, like the earth flipping over, suspended above the firmament, crashing down towards the Human Realm.

Jiang Daoqing saw clearly that where that large hand descended was precisely where the astonishing formation patterns had appeared in the Northern Frontier.

"That Demon Immortal is making a move, trying to shatter the great formation Senior Grand Uncle set up!" Jiang Daoqing's heart tightened.

Originally, according to Chen Tianshu's estimate, the Demon Immortal at this time should have been in the stage of refining the many swallowed Great Experts and Great Power to recover his strength. Why would he appear now?

Moreover, it seemed that the great formation Chen Tianshu had set up had not broken the seal above the Azure Underworld!

Especially now that the Demon Immortal had been alerted, in other words, Chen Tianshu's method of using a formation to break a formation had failed!

"Boom!"

From the Northern Frontier, an astonishing large hand, as if cast from white jade, also emerged, colliding forcefully with the Demon Immortal's hand. In an instant, the entire Azure Underworld seemed to fall into silence and darkness. All living beings lost their five senses, and even their souls left their bodies for a moment.

Everything was because the collision of these two large hands was too terrifying!

Even though he was infinitely far away, Jiang Daoqing, who was only observing from the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, suddenly changed color: "Ascension Realm?!"

"Ascension Realm!" At this moment, the Great Experts and Great Power hidden in various parts of the Azure Underworld simultaneously paled, their hearts shaken.

"An Ascended Being!" Even that Demon Immortal, whose whereabouts were unknown, let out a whisper, "Unexpectedly, there is still an existence like you hidden within the Azure Underworld!"

"So, you've only recovered to this extent!" An unknown voice sounded. Others might not be able to tell who the owner of this voice was, but Jiang Daoqing knew that this was the voice of his Senior Grand Uncle, Chen Tianshu.

At the same moment, voices sounded from various parts of the Azure Underworld: "Demon Clan Fallen Immortal, our Human Race Ascended Being has arrived. Today, we shall slay you!"

Silently, those Great Experts and Great Power who had previously disappeared from sight reappeared, all charging towards the Demon Immortal's large hand!

At this moment, a great battle erupted in the Azure Underworld once more. The difference was that this time, the Human Race side had an Ascended Being participating in the battle!
