Lu Chen was being pursued by the Severed Arm Vajra manifested by the Chuan Ru Mage. Seeing Old Mu throw the Demon-Slaying Sword, he immediately used the powerful force of the impact to leap high like a Deer Demon.
In that moment, he truly resembled a Deer Demon soaring through the air, his Flesh jumping over thirty feet. He spun in mid-air and caught the incoming Demon-Slaying Sword with the technique Ape Demon Grabs the Moon.
Just then, the Severed Arm Vajra manifested by the Chuan Ru Mage caught up to him. The severed arm, as thick as a water barrel, whipped down towards Lu Chen like a flexible whip.
As Lu Chen's Flesh was falling from above, he looked up and was instantly struck by darkness, seeing that massive severed arm descending like a towering pillar.
Without hesitation, Lu Chen drew the Demon-Slaying Sword and slashed upwards.
The Demon-Slaying Sword was a tribute presented to the court by a sect during the Han Dynasty. This sword was worth its weight in gold; it could cut through metal and jade and even slay Yin Spirits. Its power was comparable to that of the Deep Dragon Sword wielded by the Great Zhou Fortune King. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, members of the royal family kept it as a treasure, and despite several relocations, it remained intact until it reached Sun Zizhao.
Not long ago, Lu Chen had been recommended to Sun Zizhao by Prince Fu. Sun Zizhao greatly admired Lu Chen's decisiveness and character, thus bestowing the Demon-Slaying Sword upon him.
As a severed arm came crashing down, Lu Chen reacted instinctively and slashed back with his sword.
A flash of cold light passed by; it felt like cutting through tofu. With a slicing sound, he severed a section of the Chuan Ru Mage's arm. The already hideous severed arm appeared even more grotesque after losing a piece.
However, it seemed that Chuan Ru Mage was not harmed at all; instead, it became even more frenzied, urging two long severed arms forward to form an encirclement around Lu Chen.
At the same time, two more severed arms interjected from either side of the encirclement, like two lines colliding towards the center from opposite points of a circle.
Just as Lu Chen's Flesh landed on the ground, he had no time to react before being trapped by two severed arms. He struggled fiercely but found himself unable to break free.
Chuan Ru Mage shouted loudly as its two severed arms lifted Lu Chen off the ground while continuously squeezing inward.
Lu Chen felt as if his Flesh were caught between two mountains, as if it might be crushed flat. At that moment, Chuan Ru Mage's head was parallel to him; its enormous face resembled a house and looked particularly fierce and terrifying. In front of it, Lu Chen felt like a mere chicken.
Chuan Ru Mage opened its mouth wide and unleashed a silver-white Great Electric Snake aimed at Lu Chen. The electric snake twisted and turned, about ten feet long, slicing through the air towards Lu Chen.
Seeing the Great Electric Snake flying towards him, Lu Chen had nowhere to escape. He raised the Demon-Slaying Sword and held it across his chest. Suddenly, the Great Electric Snake struck the Demon-Slaying Sword, seemingly rebounding with such force that it triggered a massive explosion, powerful enough to rival a barrel of high-grade gunpowder. Even Chuan Ru Mage's own manifested severed arm was affected, sending Lu Chen flying away.
Lu Chen felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, followed by the tremendous shockwave from the explosion and Chuan Ru Mage's casual throw, which knocked him backward. His outer garment had already been shredded by the blast, revealing the Supreme Garment underneath. Fortunately, he was wearing the Supreme Garment; otherwise, he would have been turned into a pancake by the explosion.
As his flesh was still being propelled backward by the shockwave, the Supreme Garment was fully exerting its Yang Yuan to restore Lu Chen's stamina. The explosion's power was immense, erupting right in front of him and causing significant damage. Even pushing the Supreme Garment to its limits barely saved him.
Chuan Ru Mage staggered back two steps from the impact of the explosion. He shook his head and roared, raising all eight severed arms simultaneously as he shouted, "Four Phases Thunder!"
From each of his severed arms, bolts of lightning as thick as an arm surged forth, all aimed directly at Lu Chen.
Before Lu Chen's flesh even touched the ground, he saw Chuan Ru Mage unleashing lightning toward him. The thunderous roar only reached him after the lightning struck his body; the speed of lightning far surpassed that of sound.
Just as Lu Chen had restored some stamina, he was hit by Chuan Ru Mage's lightning again. Instantly, a series of crackling explosions echoed around him as if he were on fire.
This time, it sent Lu Chen crashing into the sea!
Lu Chen felt an overwhelming soreness and numbness throughout his body; everything became dark and unclear, nearly causing him to drop the Demon-Slaying Sword from his hands.
Chuan Ru Mage's flesh had been destroyed by Lu Chen, which was akin to having his dignity completely trampled upon. At this moment, he was truly enraged to the point of madness. With disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, strands of electric snakes danced around his Dharmakaya manifested from Yin Spirit. He resembled an enraged Vajra determined to kill Lu Chen.
With a furious roar, Chuan Ru Mage unleashed even more power from his Yin Spirit manifestation, growing to several hundred or even a thousand feet tall. A single breath created a fierce wind; a shout unleashed a thunderous roar.
His massive form charged across the island, causing tremors beneath him. Chuan Ru Mage leaped high into the air, his head disappearing into the clouds. When he fell again, he landed in the ocean like a weight dropping into a basin of water, creating towering waves that nearly submerged islands several miles wide.
"Four Phases Thunder, die!"
Chuan Ru Mage's voice echoed like that of a vengeful spirit, filled with raw emotion and piercing intensity that nearly shattered Lu Chen's spirit.
The severed arm was raised high, ready to unleash lightning once more. At the tip of the severed arm, enormous bolts of lightning surged upward like bamboo shoots after rain, slowly rising from the ground. These bolts were a deep purple-black, unlike any previous ones, larger, longer, and seemingly dozens of times more powerful.
At this moment, Lu Chen was drifting in the sea. He had barely managed to keep his footing, but as Chuan Ru Mage jumped into the water, massive waves rolled in, and the tides surged. A single splash could bury him beneath the depths of the ocean.
All his focus was on the surface of the water as he watched Chuan Ru Mage channeling the purple lightning, which was about to strike down in an instant.
Suddenly, the originally clear sky belonging to Daylight turned dark without warning, casting a gloomy shadow over the area as if it were night. Only the area around Chuan Ru Mage's manifested Dharmakaya remained illuminated, likely due to its inherent glow.
Looking up at the sky, dark clouds gathered thickly, with flickering strands of brilliant electricity dancing amidst rumbling thunder, indicating that rain was imminent.
"What is happening? Is it a tornado?"
Lu Chen exclaimed in shock. He glanced around and saw a massive pillar moving erratically in the distance, about ten miles away.
It was undoubtedly the lightning and tornado summoned by Chuan Ru Mage, Lu Chen speculated as he turned his gaze toward Chuan Ru Mage. His attention was drawn to the sudden change in color; he raised his enormous head to gaze at the boiling sky, a hint of emptiness appearing in his crimson eyes as if filled with curiosity.
In the sky, strands of electric serpents flickered and danced, alternating between brightness and darkness, accompanied by rolling thunder. Lu Chen knew that the lightning about to strike would be an epic super bolt.
Chuan Ru Mage also had electric serpents weaving around him; at that moment, he looked up at the heavens like a lonely ancient beast, emitting low growls from his throat.
Lu Chen swallowed hard as his eyes widened. He witnessed a bolt of lightning as thick as a door panel charging down from the clouds. The color of that lightning was platinum, clearly aimed at Chuan Ru Mage.
Seeing this, Chuan Ru Mage let out a primal roar. The eight severed arms on his back raised simultaneously; eight bolts of lightning erupted together, merging into one thick stream that was also as wide as a door panel but colored black-purple.
Realizing that the descending lightning was targeting him and with such a massive form as his own, there was no way to evade it. The only option was to retaliate with all his might and compete against the heavens.
However, he was too weak; he could not match the power of the lightning above. As two door-panel-sized bolts collided in mid-air, Chuan Ru Mage immediately froze in place, completely motionless.
The lightning emitted by the Severed Arm Vajra was repelled like sugarcane, then returned to the Chuan Ru Mage.
Just then, a tornado rushed in from a distance, like a Python swallowing an elephant, gradually shattering the Chuan Ru Mage's Yin Spirit and Dharmakaya. The Chuan Ru Mage stood still, his eyes glazed over, allowing the tornado to tear at him, and then the torn fragments of his Dharmakaya were sucked back in.
"This is the consequence of fighting against Cang!"
Lu Chen murmured to himself, having witnessed the entire process unfold. The Chuan Ru Mage was first blinded by hatred, manifesting the Severed Arm Vajra and forcibly using Four Phases Thunder. He was originally in the sea, where the atmosphere was unpredictable; his towering figure reached a thousand feet, closest to the clouds above. Thus, he attracted lightning to himself, provoking Cang to unleash a super thunderstorm upon him. At that moment, the Chuan Ru Mage likely intended to evade it, but it was already too late. He could only fight back, believing that with his Four Phases Thunder he still had a chance of victory. In reality, it was like an elephant crushing an ant—he wouldn't even know how he died.
Inside him, however, there was a wildness that made him forget his form.
"Never fight against anyone!"
Lu Chen was stunned beyond measure, feeling a mix of emotions swirling within him. On one hand, there was the irresistible power of nature; on the other hand, there was the terror of a Law of the Realm master. The Chuan Ru Mage was at least at the peak of the Law of the Realm and on the verge of becoming a Void Immortal.
He was even more formidable than Lu Chen's master Li Shian; it was likely that Li Shian at his peak would not have been his match. The main reason was that this person's Yin Method was too powerful—combining Severed Arm Vajra with Four Phases Thunder—something Lu Chen had never even heard of. Which mysterious Sect hidden away in seclusion could be behind this?
As Lu Chen pondered this, a black dot flew down from the sky, heading straight toward his position.
"What is that? Is it something falling from the Chuan Ru Mage?"
