537: The Immortal King is here
Although somewhat confused by Li Wuji's inexplicable enthusiasm, Lu Chen still accepted the jade token Li Wuji handed over, bowing in return: "Thank you for your generosity, Brother Li. Lu Chen will remember this."
At this moment, Li Wuji felt as if the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time, unable to be lifted, had suddenly vanished without a trace.
Finally, he had finally established a connection with Lu Chen.
When he was in the Human Realm, he tried many times, several times thinking he was certain to succeed, but in the end, he was stimulated and had his perception of Lu Chen's strength refreshed again and again.
Especially after arriving in this Upper Realm, Li Wuji had become even more anxious, because Lu Chen's strength had already surpassed his. Even with the boost from his past life's achievement of having one foot in the light and shadow, he still couldn't compare to Lu Chen at this moment.
If his strength was inferior to Lu Chen's, how could he get closer to Lu Chen? How could he help Lu Chen?
And how could he rely on this favor to ask Lu Chen for help in the future?
He was inexplicably anxious, because such opportunities were too few, so few that Li Wuji even wanted to stay by Lu Chen's side all the time, waiting for this opportunity to arrive at any moment.
However, things took a turn. At this juncture he had never even considered, Lu Chen actually took a liking to his teleportation method.
It was truly, fate's arrangement, wondrous beyond words.
He instantly relaxed, but he still cared about Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen at this moment had no time to comprehend this teleportation method. Instead, he put it into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, where his Clones and Dao Soldiers would work together to study it. He figured the speed of comprehension would be very, very fast.
"Hmm? They're here!" Almost simultaneously, Lu Chen and Li Wuji both looked up, gazing beyond the distant Immortal mountains.
"Immortal Lord?" Lu Chen was slightly disappointed.
He had a full five Profound-Rank Heavenly Generals equivalent to the Immortal Lord level, so he hoped even more that a Quasi-Celestial King, or even a true Immortal King, would come.
Only then could his strength experience a significant leap.
However, an Immortal Lord wasn't bad either.
Furthermore, besides the Immortal Lord, he also sensed the aura of Quasi-Celestial Lords, Heavenly Kings, and True Immortals. There weren't a few, but not a lot either.
He figured this place was merely occupied by the Giant Spirit Race and wasn't a particularly important territory.
Without a sound, three Lu Chens appeared behind Lu Chen.
Since the Giant Spirit Race sent an Immortal Lord, he would counter with Yellow Tier Heavenly Generals.
Yellow Tier Heavenly Generals at the Quasi-Celestial Lord level should have no problem matching an Immortal Lord.
And these three Yellow Tier Heavenly Generals were all extraordinary.
One was a Heavenly Born Sword Immortal, the second was a Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable, the third...
Hmm, there's no need to send out three.
Lu Chen then recalled the seven-clawed True Dragon Yellow Tier Heavenly General.
With the nearly invincible Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable, a Yellow Tier Dao Soldier, forcefully controlling the Giant Spirit Race's Immortal Lord, the Heavenly Born Sword Immortal would find fighting no harder than killing a chicken.
However, he couldn't simply kill these Giant Spirit Race Immortal Lords so easily. Otherwise, the Giant Spirit Race might run away because of this and never come to offer heads again.
This was not what Lu Chen wanted.
Just then, before the Immortal Lord arrived, the terrifying might of the Immortal Lord had already reached them.
What is an Immortal Lord?
The ruler among Immortals, a terrifying existence standing at the upper level of Immortals. Ordinary Immortals who see them will naturally feel reverence, fear, and unease.
This was no exaggeration. When the terrifying pressure of the Immortal Lord swept over, everyone behind Lu Chen, including Li Changming from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion who had become a Heavenly King in the Human Realm, couldn't help but tremble, inexplicably wanting to prostrate themselves on the ground and kowtow to him!
The other Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion and the Immortals from the Jiuli Lineage were instantly panicked and helpless, assaulted by the terrifying might of the Immortal Lord, wanting to kneel down and worship.
Fortunately, Heavenly Born Sword Immortal Lu Chen took a step forward, instantly blocking all the sweeping might of the Immortal Lord.
Furthermore, from his body, an extremely pure and terrifying Sword Intent was unleashed, soaring into the sky, vast and boundless, shooting straight into the heavens.
What Immortal Lord's might? Under this pure and ultimate terrifying Sword Intent, it was also completely cut down.
"Immortal Lord? Is this, the might of an Immortal Lord?!" Li Changming's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat at some point, and his entire body was completely soaked with sweat!
He didn't know if that was the might of an Immortal Lord, but he knew that the Quasi-Celestial Lord Lu Chen had just killed was far from being as terrifying as the Immortal might at this moment.
This was the arrival of a terrifying existence far surpassing the Quasi-Celestial Lord level!
"Terrifying!" The other True Immortals and Eternal Life Immortals from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion were also inexplicably startled and fearful. Let alone fighting against an Immortal Lord, even the courage to make a move was suppressed. Their Dao Hearts had already been shattered under the might of the Immortal Lord.
If Lu Chen weren't standing in front, they would all be lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the hands of the Immortal Lord. They might even turn to ash with just a glance from the Immortal Lord.
Not on the same level, not on the same level at all.
To an Immortal Lord, these Old Ancestors who could be called supreme in the Human Realm were no different from ants.
No wonder Lu Chen could be invincible in the Human Realm and suppress everything.
Just stating that he could easily block the might of an Immortal Lord is enough to explain everything.
In front of Lu Chen, they were also just like ants!
Only a True Dragon, a being high above the Nine Heavens, an Immortal Lord existence, only such an existence could stand still before an Immortal Lord.
"This Great Fiend Lu Chen can actually contend with the might of an Immortal Lord? No wonder he's so audacious, daring to act in the Giant Spirit Race's territory!" Little Phoenix Wind Seven couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He feared the Giant Spirit Race's Immortal Lord, but he also feared Lu Chen.
He even feared Lu Chen more than the Giant Spirit Race's Immortal Lord.
Because the Giant Spirit Race's Immortal Lord might not touch him due to his Phoenix clan identity, but Lu Chen wouldn't. Lu Chen would only get more excited...
A lawless Great Fiend!
This was Wind Seven's most ingrained impression of Lu Chen.
It could no longer be changed.
"Immortal Lord?" Zhao Yujing's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure.
Let Lu Chen handle it!
He couldn't handle this trouble.
However, Lu Chen was indeed worthy of being the one he followed to the Lower Realm. He could already withstand the might of an Immortal Lord and contend with one. Impressive, very good.
But he hoped Lu Chen would be even more formidable.
"Does he really have such confidence?!" Li Wuji's eyes flickered as he stared at Lu Chen's figure, becoming more and more startled the longer he looked.
Just after arriving in the Upper Realm, he already possessed the strength to resist the might of an Immortal Lord. His future achievements were probably even more unimaginable!
However, Lu Chen had a major flaw.
His sharpness was too great, easily attracting disaster, and there was even the risk of perishing midway. He would be feared by the peak powerhouses in the native great clans of the Upper Realm.
Unfortunately, Lu Chen had always been like this throughout his journey. It was probably impossible to make Lu Chen change this temperament.
In fact, if Li Wuji had known Lu Chen much earlier, he would have known.
The initial Lu Chen was actually cautious to an extreme degree.
It's just that now he has completely grown up, so naturally, there's no need for excessive caution.
Especially the countless Dao Soldiers in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin could even substitute for death.
Even if he wanted to die, he would have to die millions of times to succeed, so why be overly cautious?
"A Human Race Heavenly King from the Human Realm? No wonder you dared to act in my Giant Spirit Race territory. So you were still hiding your strength!" A voice as loud as thunder exploding resounded.
That was the source of the Immortal Lord's might, and also the Giant Spirit Race's Immortal Lord, Celestial Immortal Xing Cang.
The Immortal Lord had truly arrived!
