Yet, there was no reaction from Yunmeng Marsh?
I really didnât see this coming!
"No, old man, no need to argue anymore."
"If Yunmeng Marsh does not take action, thatâs not necessarily a bad thing, right?"
However, in response to Shen Xuziâs awkward explanation, Chen Changâan exhibited a grin.
Firstly, he glanced at the serene Yunmeng Marsh. It had returned to its peaceful state without the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion present. Spanning millions of miles across, it remained desolate and uninhabited.
Then, Chen Changâan cast a look at Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch in the sky. Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, there was no trace of his previous downfall. Instead, his face was filled with fury!
Chen Changâan said coldly, "Old man, you wanted to kill me right? Today, Iâll show you what it means to court death!"
"Eh, lad, whatâs up with you?" Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch was taken aback by Chen Changâanâs sudden transformation. He recalled how Chen Changâan always seemed to be on the run before, even appearing fearful when he wasnât running. Why did his demeanour change so drastically?
"Is it possible that thereâs an ambush here?" The thought alone startled Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch.
Despite the Immortal Realm transcending the Wuxiang Realm, itâs incorrect to dismiss the latter as simple!
In the Wuxiang realm, entities that could threaten Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch were certainly present!
Humming~!
In an instant, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch released all his divine sense, attempting to discover if anyone was ambushing him.
But the result became apparent very quickly, there were no strong aura pulses in this area spanning millions of miles. As for the deeper regions, the Immortal Monarch didnât bother to investigate. Firstly, there was no need. Secondly, he did not dare!
Yunmeng Marsh wasnât just for show. As he breached the rules, there was a chance that he would be trapped here today!
However, this was good news. If no other strong aura was detected, it meant that Chen Changâan didnât lay a trap here!
In other words, this lad was merely bluffing!
Boom~!
"Young one, quit making empty threats. Today, you will definitely meet your demise by my hands!"
Once assured that there were no ambushes, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch struck. He didnât want to give Chen Changâan another second to live!
"Humph! Do you think you can destroy me? I donât think so!" Upon hearing Ancient Ling Immortal Monarchâs straightforward declaration, Chen Changâan responded with a cold snort.
By now, Chen Changâan knew that this battle was inevitable!
Of course, he never planned on avoiding it in the first place!
However, initially, the battlefield was located in the Heaven Water Region. His potential was limited there, leading him to enact a ploy that successfully led Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch here!
This was Yunmeng Marsh, a forbidden area for humans. Here, Chen Changâan wouldnât have many concerns and could truly fight to his heartâs content.
Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch was a genuine Immortal Monarch of the Upper Realm, and his rank might even be high amongst them.
Theoretically, there was no way to win this battle, but it wasnât entirely impossible either!
Chen Changâan could see that although Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch was incomparable in the Upper Realm, it was merely limited to that realm!
Now that we are here in the Lower Realm, it would be extremely difficult for this Immortal Monarch to maintain his Daoist method. Thus, even if his true self descends here, his power will be greatly reduced!
By keeping just half of his power!
Knowing oneself the most, Chen Changâan was aware that he definitely couldnât defeat a completely invincible Immortal Monarch.
However, against an Immortal Monarch with almost half of his power lost, he might stand a chance for confrontation!
So what if he is an Immortal Monarch, letâs just fight!
Humming~!
"Battle~!"
In an instant, with a stern shout from Chen Changâan, he immediately lunged towards Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch!
Humming~!
If anyone happened to be here at this moment, they would be surprised because the scene behind Chen Changâan was extraordinarily unusual.
Behind him, a gigantic, multicoloured, ancient tree emerged, nearly covering the entire sky. From this tree descended strands of Immortal Light, continuously bestowing terrifying strength onto Chen Changâan.
This was the Sacred Spirit Ancient Tree!
At this moment, Chen Changâan used the power of "Immortal Dao"!
"Immortal Dao?!" Upon seeing this, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch was instantly shocked.
He hadnât expected that besides the Confucian Path, Chen Changâan could also practice Immortal Dao!
Immortal Dao is not the immortality achieved in the Immortal Realm, but a supreme Great Dao that shines brightly in the world!
Itâs a Dao that transcends everything, and very few people in the world can truly master it!
Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch didnât expect Chen Changâan to have mastered it too, it was truly beyond his expectations.
But no matter if Chen Changâan mastered an additional Immortal Dao, an ant remained an ant, and what should be wiped out eventually would still perish!
"Kill!"
With a single word, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch stood atop the sky, body moving with his heart. He teleported and clashed with Chen Changâan.
Tear and rip!
The Longsword in Ancient Ling Immortal Monarchâs hand continuously swung out, every slash carrying torrents of an Immortal Monarchâs magic.
Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch had to admit, Chen Changâan, who could simultaneously comprehend Immortal Dao and Confucian Path and cultivate both to the peak of the Ninth Stage, was indeed a rare talent.
If Chen Changâan could further cultivate these two Dao paths, then he would no longer be his match.
Unfortunately, he still fell short!
No matter how many ants gather, theyâre still just ants!
The combo of Confucian Path and Immortal Dao was indeed powerful, but it was not stronger than the chasm between an Immortal Monarch and a cultivator at the peak of the Ninth Stage!
This gap was insurmountable for anyone!
Boom~!
Buzz buzz buzz~!
In the midst of the fight, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch grew stronger, gaining the initiative from the get-go and gradually dominating the situation.
Under his onslaught, Chen Changâan could only manage to hold on. Even with the support of the two Great Dao paths, he was on the brink of breaking.
Buzz buzz buzz~!
The giant ancient treeâs shadow behind him was steadily diminishing. If this continued, it would vanish entirely soon!
"Hmph! Youngster, itâs time to end this!"
"Remember, I am Ancient Ling, and today I will send you to permanently rest in the netherworld!"
The battle lasted for an unknown amount of time, maybe an hour, two hours, or possibly longer.
After they separated from one hit, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch stood in the sky, sword shining brightly, towering in stature, and cast his final judgment on Chen Changâan.
"Am I really not enough? It seems that Iâll have to use that move then!"
Meanwhile, at the limits of the sky, Chen Changâan reached out to wipe the blood from his mouth, he couldnât help but sigh.
Originally, he thought that the two paths of Immortal Dao and Confucian Path would hold Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch back.
But Chen Changâan realized he was wrong, terribly wrong. He severely underestimated the combat prowess of an Immortal Monarch, and even more severely overestimated his own.
Although an Immortal Monarchâs powers were not fully unleashed in the Lower Realm, it wasnât a strength he, as someone far from reaching the Tenth Stage, could oppose!
Compared to the Ninth Stage, they were still much too powerful!
Therefore, Chen Changâan felt he had no choice but to proceed with the next plan!
After taking a breath, Chen Changâan glared at Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch on the other side of the sky, and coldly said, "Old man, since youâre so eager to rebirth, then I will grant your wish. You want to fight, letâs do it!"
Upon hearing Chen Changâanâs words, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch laughed: "Ha, you think you can fight against me? Interesting, very interesting. Then I am curious to see what you are capable of!"
Boom~!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch made his move without delay:
"So be it, then prepare to bear my wrath!"
Crack~!
After his words fell, a terrifying transformation occurred to Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch. Countless Dao rules were surging towards him from heaven and earth, eventually gathering on him.
At this moment, Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch was like a sacred being descending!
