Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 780 Chen Pu goes into battle
In the void.

The Grand Marshal Tianpeng, who had four heads and eight arms and held various weapons, looked across and said, "Liezi, let's stop talking nonsense and start the battle directly."

Lie Zi straightened his hunched body slightly, "Come on."

Marshal Tianpeng said nothing more, raised the golden ruler in his hand and hit Lie Zi.

The golden ruler flew out rapidly, and when it was halfway, it immediately shone with golden light and turned into an enormous golden arch bridge, which fiercely pressed down towards Lie Zi.

Lie Zi did not act arrogantly like he did when facing the nine stars of the Big Dipper. Instead, he simply raised his cane and released bursts of brilliant light like the aurora from it.

The light was like an inverted cone, heading directly towards the golden arch bridge transformed by the golden ruler.

The power released by the two magic weapons collided in mid-air, and the golden arch bridge immediately shrank back into a golden ruler and returned to the palm of Marshal Tianpeng, while the inverted cone-shaped light also disappeared without a trace.

Marshal Tianpeng did not stop just because the attack failed.

The head on his left suddenly turned to look at Lie Zi, and two rays of Taixuan light burst out from his eyes.

These two Taixuan lights are not thick, probably about the thickness of an adult's arm.

But this seemingly insignificant Taixuan light made Lie Zi look solemn, as if he was facing not two rays of light, but the most terrifying killing weapon in the heavens and all worlds.

The light of Taixuan flew quickly and arrived in front of Lie Zi in an instant.

Lie Zi slapped the top of his head, and a green cloud of celebration instantly rose up, filled with mist. The Chongxu Qi formed fist-sized plum blossoms that covered the entire cloud.

The auspicious energy of the cloud rushed straight up, rendering the entire void like a fairyland.

The Taixuan Light continuously impacted the Chongxu Qi, and it seemed to break through in an instant, but the Chongxu Qi was like strands of silk, constantly entwining around the two Taixuan Lights.

The Taixuan Light seemed to have rushed into a net of heaven and earth. No matter how fiercely it impacted, it could not escape the restraint of Chongxu Qi.

After a moment, the Chongxu Qi became increasingly dense and thick, and under the layers of entanglement and restraint, the Taixuan light was shattered.

Marshal Tianpeng and Lie Zi did not stop fighting because of the game between Taixuan Light and Chongxu Qi.

In just a short while, the two had already cast spells and attacked each other for dozens of rounds.

This one shows how many magical weapons are ineffective, and that one crutch helps Qingyun spread the Dharma.

Marshal Tianpeng would often use his magic weapon and his Taoist body to spit fire and control thunder. The flames would rise as if to burn all the heavens and the worlds. The thunder would roll as if it was a thundercloud storm. The Taixuan Qi and the light of the stars would permeate the entire void.

Lie Zi was not willing to be outdone. He stirred up auspicious clouds and tapped his walking stick lightly. The Qi of Chongxu transformed the universe into heaven and earth. The plum blossoms, lotus flowers, peonies and other flowers formed by the air currents bloomed everywhere, as if a layer of flowers was laid on the void.

On this side, Dafa brought auspicious light.

On the other side, colorful mist was flying due to magical power.

The battle between the two peerless masters was truly fascinating to watch.

So far, neither side has shown any martial arts skills, and they have simply used magic to try to subdue the other.

After forty or fifty rounds, Marshal Tianpeng realized that it would be difficult to defeat Lie Zi by conventional means, so he exposed a flaw, allowing the Chongxu Qi to smash in like a rain of fire and a meteor, while he used his four heads and eight arms to pose in four different postures.

In an instant, the figure of Marshal Tianpeng disappeared before his eyes, and the endless Chongxu Qi hit nothing.

Lie Zi's eyes glowed slightly, shining towards every inch of the void, trying to find the figure of Marshal Tianpeng.

As soon as he started looking, he immediately sensed a huge shadow looming over him, but he didn't sense anything.

Lie Zi's face changed, and the auspicious light on the auspicious cloud immediately became as if it were poured with kerosene, becoming extremely bright.

Sure enough, the next moment a huge divine sword fell from the sky and stabbed towards Qingyun fiercely.

boom!
The magic sword pierced through Lie Zi's Qingyun with ease, just like cutting melons and vegetables.

Lie Zi was horrified. Without caring about anything else, he threw his cane up and shouted, "Go!"

The crutch immediately turned into a stream of light and collided with the tip of the sword.

A light bright enough to illuminate the heavens and all worlds was born from the point where the two touched and instantly filled the void.

When the light faded, Lie Zi had disappeared from sight, as had the walking stick.

Suddenly, there was a ripple in the void, and then a hand as big as a red giant star appeared out of thin air and grabbed towards a certain place in the void.

That rush of Qi was like a flood that broke through a dam, madly attacking the giant hand and knocking it back in one fell swoop.

Tian Peng Zhen Jun let out a "hum" that came from nowhere, and then the entire void was filled with thousands of layers of ripples that overlapped each other.

As these ripples began to spread, explosions of light flashed one after another in all directions of the void, as if some powerful force was fighting against the ripples.

This situation probably lasted for less than a breath.

Immediately, four huge arms like the one before reached out in unison from above, below, left and right to grab the center.

Unlike the previous time when they failed to achieve success, this time the four giant hands released a large amount of Taixuan Qi as they rushed forward, as if they were locking onto something.

The next moment, the locked object appeared in the field of vision.

Lie Zi was shocked out of his "invisible" state.

And the four huge arms were now very close to him.

The terrifying pressure came upon him madly, and even with Lie Zi's level of cultivation, he still felt suffocated.

Under such terrible pressure, Lie Zi, who had originally been a little hunched, actually stood up completely straight.

Waves of fairy music lingered, and although it sounded vague, anyone who heard it could know the content of the music.

"Zi Liezi lived in a garden in Zheng. For forty years no one knew him. When the king, the ministers and the officials showed him, he was just like the common people..."

It turns out that these bursts of immortal sounds are actually the contents of the "Chongxu Sutra".

As the immortal music rose, the surrounding scene was changing rapidly, from nothingness to a country comparable to the size of the universe in an instant.

In this country, there are countless cavalrymen in heavy armor. They draw their bows and shoot arrows. Waves of light like crystal shine on the bowstrings. Then they break free and shoot at the four huge arms like a rain of pear blossoms. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless sounds of breaking air shook the surrounding area, causing the country that had just appeared to instantly shatter into countless pieces. However, the arrow that was shot out did not perish along with the country. Instead, during the process of flying, it continuously absorbed the "lens"-shaped fragments transformed from the shattered country, added them to the arrow body, and expanded.

The arrows became bigger and bigger.

When trillions of arrows were about to hit the four giant arms, each arrow was one-tenth the size of the four giant arms.

The four giant arms seemed not to have expected that Lie Zi would display such a powerful method. They did not dare to take it head-on and quickly retracted into nothingness, hiding their figures again.

Lie Zi's hair and beard suddenly stood up, and he swept the walking stick in his hand across the air. The arrows seemed to be guided by something and also chased into nothingness, and then could not be seen by the naked eye.

About a breath later, the entire void was like billions of supernovas exploding, with blazing crystal light everywhere and one "supernova" after another everywhere.

It was as if this place was no longer empty space, but had turned into a "supernova" world.

It is impossible to tell how powerful these "supernovas" are, but we know that their brilliance is astonishing.

In the shining light, a huge black shadow suddenly emerged. The impact of the light caused its whole body to explode layer by layer, and streams of golden blood continued to spill out.

clang!
The sound of the Emperor's Bell rang out, billions of "supernovas" were destroyed, and the void returned to a state without any matter and light.

Marshal Tianpeng hurriedly stabilized his body, but his muscles, flesh and skin were all blown up and could not heal completely for a while, as if he was blocked by some great force.

He looked at Lie Zi, who was standing upright, with admiration, "The Chongxu Sutra is indeed a Taoist treasure. Its power really astonishes me."

Lie Zi laughed loudly, "Marshal, please don't flatter me. I know you still have strength left. Let's fight again."

"good!"

Marshal Tianpeng roared, and brilliant purple flames erupted from his body, sweeping wildly in all directions.

Seeing this, Lie Zi, who had been laughing just now, suddenly had his pupils contracted, as if he had seen something terrible.

He said with a slightly shocked tone: "You have actually already refined the Primal Purple Flame into your body?"

Marshal Tianpeng looked very painful, as if he himself had suffered great damage from casting the Chaos Purple Flame, but his tone of voice did not tremble at all when he replied, "Yes, this is one of my special skills. Do you still want to fight?"

Lie Zi looked at Marshal Tian Peng deeply and said, "If we continue to fight, both sides will perish. Instead of doing that, I might as well do you a favor and say I lose."

Marshal Tianpeng quickly put away the Primal Purple Flame, smiled bitterly, and said, "Thank you, Lie Zi, for letting me."

His "acceptance" was not just politeness, but came from the heart.

Yes, Marshal Tianpeng had enough confidence that once all the chaotic purple flames were released, no matter how powerful Lie Zi was, he would be burned to ashes. But the consequence of doing so would be that he, Marshal Tianpeng, would also be attacked by the chaotic purple flames and lose his combat effectiveness. Wouldn't that mean both sides would suffer losses?
Lie Zi waved his hand and said, "Marshal, there is no need to be polite. Your Primal Purple Flame can burn out the lives that rely on the laws. Although I have lived for more than a thousand years, I have not lived enough, so I am inferior to you in skills."

At this point, he paused and asked, "Is it really worth it for you to use the Chaos Purple Flame to win this battle? Although you didn't release all of the Chaos Purple Flame, the part that was released still caused great damage to your body. I'm afraid your current strength is less than 150% of your peak period."

Marshal Tianpeng looked at Lie Zi calmly and said, "I spent too much immortal energy to defeat Zhang Tianshi before. Even if I have manifested my second Taoist body now, I am still not sure of defeating you. My biggest chance of winning is the Primal Purple Flame, so I had no choice but to use it. As for what you said about me only having 15% of my full strength left, it's actually not a problem, because you just told me who the third challenger is. Chen Pu's cultivation level is indeed very good in the eyes of ordinary people, and he also has Pangu's true body, but I think that 15% of my full strength is enough to defeat him!"

It can be seen that he is very confident of defeating Chen Yun.

Lie Zi looked at him with deep eyes and said, "Marshal, you underestimate Master Chen. Don't let your pride cloud your... eight eyes."

Marshal Tianpeng smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I will keep it in mind."

Lie Zi nodded slightly, waved his hand and said: "I can't break your Primal Chaos Purple Flame. Since you admit defeat, let's go back to Lu Peng and let Master Chen finish this final battle."

Marshal Tianpeng said, "I am waiting here respectfully."

……

Inside the reed hut.

The crowd was enjoying the battle between Lie Zi and Marshal Tian Peng.

Unexpectedly, Marshal Tianpeng suddenly released chaotic purple flames from his body, and Lie Zi surrendered without a fight.

Although everyone felt somewhat helpless, everyone was well aware of the power of the Chaos Purple Flame and knew that it was a wise choice for Lie Zi to admit defeat.

At this time, everyone looked at Chen Yun's face.

Everyone understood that it was time for Chen Yun to take the stage.

Chen Yun naturally understood, so he slowly stood up and said, "Everyone, I'm going to go to the void. Please wait here for a moment."

His words seemed very arrogant, as if he could decide the outcome with Marshal Tianpeng in just a moment.

In fact, only Chen Yun himself understood that his dragon-head-snake-body posture could only be maintained for fifteen breaths.

Within these fifteen breaths, whether he could defeat Marshal Tianpeng or not, the outcome would have been revealed.

Therefore, for the next battle, all the saints present here really need to wait for a while.

Tieguai Li stood up and said, "Master Chen, please be careful. You are the one who holds the talisman. If you realize that you cannot defeat the enemy, please do not try to be brave."

Chen Yun knew that Tieguai Li cared about him, so he nodded and said, "I know."

Master Xu also stood up and said, "Although Marshal Tianpeng's current strength may be less than 15% of his peak Qi, you may still be unable to match him. It would be best if you can defeat him. If you can't, don't let him destroy you physically and spiritually, and then use the life entrusted to the law to revive you. That will take you several years."

Chen Yun knew what Master Xu meant. The Thunder Department could not stay here forever. If he was beaten to a pulp, it would take several years to recover. Then, there would be no one to preside over the next fights and wars.

He responded seriously: "Thank you for your reminder, Master. I will keep this in mind."

Lord Guan Erye, Lord Ma Wangye, Lord Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others all seemed to want to say something but stopped themselves and ultimately remained silent.

The same is true for the gods including Marshal Deng, Marshal Bi and the Five Thunder Emperors.

Suddenly, Lei Zu called out, "Chen Pu."

Chen Yun looked over and said, "Tianzun, what do you want me to do?"

Lei Zu said calmly: "Go all out, I believe you can win!"
