72: Nine Tribulations Emperor-Slaying Spear, Creation of Chaos

"Cough, cough...!"

Lu Yuan struggled to stand up, his hair disheveled and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, looking in a sorry state.

"Qin Wushang! Do you think this is over? Just now, it was only a warm-up!"

"Roar!"

He let out a low growl, his blood boiling like molten lava as a violent power suddenly erupted!

"Myriad Dragon Overlord Body! Activate!"

"Boom!!!"

A terrifying thunderous sound echoed from within his body, as if he were summoning the Nine Heavens' lightning punishment!

Countless dazzling silver lightning snakes coiled around him; dragon scale marks containing thunder patterns appeared on his skin, and his eyes turned into pure lightning!

"Roar!!!"

"Crush everything with thunder!"

He roared, and a massive Dharma Image condensed behind him!

It was a Void Thunder Dragon Dharma Image, formed entirely from Void Divine Thunder!

The dragon's body wound like a mountain range, every scale flickering with destructive lightning, and its head was majestic and formidable!

Its massive horns drew in the Law of Thunder from the void, emitting a terrifying Aura that could annihilate all things!

"The Myriad Dragon Overlord Body is finally showing its power! Senior Brother Lu, pin him to the ground and beat him! Show them the prestige of our Taiyuan!"

"The Overlord Body is invincible! Show them the prestige of our Taiyuan!"

In the academy square, the Disciples of the Taiyuan Sacred Sect shouted.

The Myriad Dragon Overlord Body was an existence even more powerful than an ordinary Sacred Body, not to mention that Lu Yuan had also deployed his Dharma Image.

A True God is always a True God!

That is an insurmountable chasm!

"To be able to force me to use my Overlord Body and Dharma Image, you can die without regrets!"

"Void Thunder Dragon, kill him!"

Lu Yuan roared, and the Void Thunder Dragon Dharma Image opened its massive maw, spitting out a terrifying bolt of lightning over ten zhang in diameter.

Everywhere the lightning passed, space was electrolyzed into nothingness!

"Flashy but useless."

Facing this world-destroying pillar of thunder, Qin Wushang's expression remained calm.

With a thought!

"Buzz!"

Chaos Qi surged, and the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram began to circulate on its own!

The Supreme Aura of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo spread out, as if the Lord of Myriad Daos had descended!

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth roared, and the momentum of the world converged!

"Screech—!"

A long cry that pierced through the primordial wilderness rang out!

Chaos Qi churned as the Kunpeng Dharma Image condensed; its wings covered the sky and its eyes were cold, carrying a Supreme ferocity that could swallow the universe.

With just a single shake from the Kunpeng, the descending lightning instantly collapsed and vanished.

"A dragon? Merely an earthworm!"

With a thought from Qin Wushang, the Kunpeng Dharma Image flapped its wings, ignoring the annihilating thunder pillar with extreme speed.

The Kunpeng soared up ninety thousand li!

Facing the lunging Void Ancient Dragon, it transformed into its Peng form.

Its two sharp claws flashed with Chaos runes, accurately seizing the neck and body of the Void Thunder Dragon Dharma Image!

"Roar!"

The Kunpeng captured the dragon, and the Void Ancient Dragon let out a furious roar!

It struggled incessantly, using incomplete Dragon Clan secret techniques in an attempt to fight the Kunpeng.

But the gap in their strength was too wide!

The Kunpeng Bloodline was already powerful, and Qin Wushang's Dharma Image was the descendant of a Kunpeng King.

It was materialized and nurtured within the dao palace world!

A Kunpeng King could feed on True Dragons; the Void Thunder Dragon wasn't even a True Dragon, so it could only be crushed!

No matter how it roared or how the lightning raged against the Kunpeng Dharma Image, it was like a loach entering the sea, unable to shake it in the slightest!

The Kunpeng's claws contained the Supreme Laws of devouring and suppression, directly tearing through the Void Thunder Dragon's defense.

"A Dharma Image leaving the body... and it's even the Kunpeng, one of the legendary ten primordial fierce beasts... Senior Brother Qin is too terrifying!"

"Indeed! For an ordinary person to have their Dharma Image leave their body, they would need to be at the Divine Fire Realm at least. Senior Brother Qin achieved it at the Nirvana Realm; his Physical Body is simply too horrific!"

"Even True Dragons are treated as food by the Kunpeng, let alone this mere mongrel dragon!"

Everyone was stunned!

"Rumble!"

The imposing Void Thunder Dragon Dharma Image was swung violently by the Kunpeng Dharma Image, as if it were catching a mere loach!

It soared into the sky, tossed the Thunder Dragon Dharma Image aside, transformed into its Kun form, and opened its massive, bloody maw!

"No, no, no!!!"

Lu Yuan screamed in disbelief!

His Void Thunder Dragon Dharma Image was actually swallowed directly by the Kunpeng like a loach!

"Pfft—!"

As his Dharma Image was swallowed, Lu Yuan's Divine Soul was severely shaken. He spat out a large mouthful of blood as his Dao Heart suffered a backlash, and his Aura instantly withered.

"No! My Dharma Image!!"

"My Void Thunder Dragon..."

"Damn it! You're just in the Nirvana Realm! I, Lu Yuan, cannot lose to you!"

"This is impossible!"

"Roar!"

Lu Yuan roared, completely driven to madness.

A blood-red light flashed in his eyes, and his blood surged, burning like fire!

He actually began to frantically burn his precious lifeblood essence to fight once more.

"Senior Brother Lu! Don't!"

A Disciple from the Taiyuan Holy Land called out to stop him!

Burning lifeblood essence was equivalent to destroying one's own Foundation; even if he won, what would be the point?

"Using my lifeblood and Divine Soul as a guide!"

"Taiyuan Saint Method, activate!"

"Nine Tribulations Emperor-Slaying Spear!"

Lu Yuan was already insane; how could he listen to anyone?

He roared, his burning life essence and all his Divine Power condensing into a blood-colored war spear.

Nine destructive tribulation lights coiled around it, and countless phantoms of gods and demons appeared on the blood-colored shaft!

When this spear appeared, the world lost its color!

It had truly slaughtered Great Emperors, and the Aura it emitted was peerless and terrifying, causing even the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to tremble!

"Break!"

The Nine Tribulations Emperor-Slaying Spear thrust straight at Qin Wushang!

"Perish along with me!"

Lu Yuan roared, staking everything.

Qin Wushang formed hand seals, his entire body shining with golden light as Chaos Qi swirled around him.

"Chaos Seed Dao Lotus!"

"Activate!"

A Chaos Dao Lotus emerged beneath his feet, its leaves swaying and Dao rhyme permeating the air, as if it were opening an initial world to protect him within.

"Boom!!!"

The Nine Tribulations God-Slaying Spear slammed violently into the Chaos Dao Lotus; destructive energy crashed against it frantically, causing the lotus to sway violently.

The Great Dao runes on the lotus leaves continuously shattered and reformed, blooming with an incomparably dazzling light.

"Break for me!!!"

Lu Yuan roared hideously, his Aura increasing once more.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, the tip of that life-risking spear actually forced its way through the outermost layer of the lotus leaf defense, and the remaining spear radiance pierced fiercely into Qin Wushang's chest!

"Senior Brother Qin!"

An academy Disciple shouted out in concern.

Su Feixue watched this scene, her heart also filled with anxiety.

"Pfft!"

Qin Wushang's body shook violently, a trickle of golden blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. A terrifying wound appeared on his chest, visible from front to back, and his own Chaos Qi began to dissipate!

"Hahaha!"

Lu Yuan looked like a madman, his Aura weak yet he laughed triumphantly,

"Do you see?! This is the chasm between a True God and the Nirvana Realm! No matter how Heaven-Defying your talent is, before absolute power, you are merely an ant!"

"In the end, you are just in the Nirvana Realm!"

The gap in Realms was too large!

The defense of the Chaos Seed Dao Lotus was Heaven-Defying; even a Divine Ability of the Divine Fire Realm could not possibly break through it!

But he was a True God who had burned his lifeblood essence and exhausted his Dao Foundation. The resulting killing blow was not so easily blocked.

"Is this your full-strength strike?"

Qin Wushang spoke softly, his expression calm.

"Nothing special."

"Heaven Mending Art!"

A secret power containing the Origin of creation and the reversal of life and death instantly circulated through Qin Wushang's entire body!

Under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, the terrifying wound on his chest actually began to heal frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Flesh and blood regrew, and the Dao Laws were repaired!

Without even a single scar left behind, his own Aura instantly returned to its Peak!

The smile on Lu Yuan's face gradually vanished!

The Heaven Mending Art was said to be able to mend the heavens themselves, capable of turning back time and allowing the user to return from the dead, gaining an endless stream of vitality!

It could compensate for one's own mistakes!

"Divine abilities... you aren't the only one who knows them."

Qin Wushang looked up, calmly eyeing the stunned Lu Yuan as his Aura slowly climbed!

The next moment, he slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again!

Within his eyes, his pupils split, giving rise to a field of Chaos. An ancient and terrifying Aura spread out!

"Supreme Double Pupils... Activate!"

"Rumble!!!"

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth trembled because of it, and the entire sky seemed to turn into a vast expanse of Chaos!

And in the center of that Chaos, a pair of eyes that seemed to be formed from Chaos Qi slowly opened!

These eyes were as if Chaos itself had gained consciousness, looking down upon all living beings!

Under its gaze, all things seemed to return to their primitive state, and all Laws lost their meaning!

"Double Pupils... no... Double Pupils aren't like this, you aren't the Double Pupils... what kind of pupil technique is this!"

Lu Yuan's whole body was trembling.

He only felt himself as small as a speck of dust, his Soul shaking violently under the gaze of those eyes, lost and helpless!

The fear brought by death overwhelmed him!

"No! I cannot die!"

"I cannot lose to you! I am a True God!"

"Ah!"

Lu Yuan was a Prodigy of the Taiyuan Sacred Sect after all; after some struggle, he forcibly suppressed his own fear.

He directly burned his already meager Lifespan, and a brilliant golden light flew out from between his eyebrows.

"taiyuan demon suppressing pagoda, protect me!"

A small bronze pagoda emitting an ancient primordial Aura emerged and instantly enlarged.

The body of the pagoda was surrounded by brilliant holy Qi that suppressed demons, and it shed rays of Holy Light to protect Lu Yuan beneath it.

This was the life-saving trump card his Revered Master had bestowed upon him!

"Damn that Lu Yuan! He actually sacrificed a Saint Weapon!"

"Lu Yuan is a madman; for the sake of a mere spar, he actually staked everything!"

"A bunch of brainless fools! No wonder they only know how to refine their bodies every day; they don't even know how to weigh the consequences!"

The fairies of the Heaven Mending Sacred Sect said disdainfully.

To them, it wasn't worth staking everything for a spar!

But Lu Yuan didn't think so!

He only wanted to win!

He looked up, and from within the protection of the taiyuan demon suppressing pagoda, he met the gaze of those Chaos eyes in the sky!

"Rumble!"

The next moment, even the taiyuan demon suppressing pagoda began to tremble slightly!

Qin Wushang's gaze locked onto Lu Yuan and the bronze pagoda. Within his Supreme Double Pupils, runes circulated, evolving into the scene of the creation of the world.

"Supreme Divine Ability! Chaos Heaven-Opening!"

"Clang—!"

A beam of pupil light shone, transforming into a Heaven-Opening Giant Axe that cleaved down from the Chaos!

"Rumble!"

With a thunderous roar, the Holy Light on the exterior of the taiyuan demon suppressing pagoda collapsed. The giant axe's momentum remained undiminished as it struck heavily against the body of the taiyuan demon suppressing pagoda itself!

"Dong!"

This powerful Saint Weapon let out a boom; the Holy Light on the pagoda instantly dimmed, and it was sent flying!

"Pfft—!"

Lu Yuan spat out fresh blood once more and collapsed.

He felt his life Origin rapidly draining away!

His incredibly withered body was drained of all power, and he could no longer stand up.

"You have lost!"

Qin Wushang landed and looked down at him from above.

Defeated!

Completely and utterly defeated!

Lu Yuan's eyes gradually lost their light; he wanted to raise his hand, but he couldn't manage to do it.

He had burned his lifeblood and Lifespan, used a Saint Weapon trump card, yet he was still easily crushed by the opponent in an overwhelming manner!

The defeat was absolute!

"If... if I had withstood this move... would you still have other... other trump cards..."

He voice was very, very low.

The Disciples of the Taiyuan Sacred Sect rushed over and supported him; every one of them had red eyes.

"Senior... Senior Brother Lu..."

"...The struggle for the Dao has always been thus... I... I have lost. Junior Brother Zhang... tell my Revered Master not to hold a grudge against him... It was... it was this Disciple's lack of skill... I have disgraced..."

Lu Yuan used his last bit of strength, but he still couldn't finish his sentence. His body turned into a faint light and vanished into nothingness.

The entire field was deathly silent!
