Chapter 761 Even if you want to keep a low profile, you can't...

With earth and stone as its bones, flowing water as its blood, flame as its soul, and gentle breeze as its spirit...

In an instant, the elements that Wu Kun, Wu Feng, Wu Yan, and Wu Run had transformed into merged into a completely new person!
No, calling it a person isn't quite accurate. After the four elements merged, it seemed to have produced some kind of chemical reaction, and its original form was no longer visible. It had simply fused into a ball of white qi, forming a semi-transparent humanoid shape made of qi.

"interesting."

Luo Jun's lips curled up slightly. After these four types of Qi merged, a brand new attribute was born... Although it no longer had the characteristics of earth, wind, water, and fire, it exuded an indescribable aura that had surpassed the peak!

Indeed, the aura emanating from this humanoid figure has undoubtedly reached the Ascension level!

This is their ultimate move? Combining into one ascension?
"Unfortunately, I'll still fight even if it means true ascension!"

Luo Jun snorted coldly, took a step forward, and threw a punch at the qi-wielding humanoid figure!
Seeing this, the Qi-wielding humanoid also raised its fist to retaliate. With a loud bang, the two powerful forces collided, unleashing a tremendous burst of energy!

Very strong, comparable to a martial arts master at the Feather Transformation Realm.

But, it’s not strong enough!
A faint cracking sound came, and the fist and even the entire arm of the qi-manifested figure collapsed under Luo Jun's attack!

In hand-to-hand combat, immortals have never been a match for saints, not even martial arts immortals!

Moreover, after layers of enhancement, Luo Jun's innate talent has surpassed that of the vast majority of the Heartless Clan. Combined with the techniques in the Supreme Master's Manual, he is considered extremely strong even among the Saints!
I'm afraid that, apart from that last saint who has extremely high potential and is also suspected of having cultivated the Supreme Manual, there is no one in the ancient Heartless Clan who can rival him!

However, this aura-wielding humanoid was clearly not a simple melee fighter. His entire body was an energy state composed of aura, and he could instantly recover after being defeated, continuing his fierce attack on Luo Jun!

Its inability to be killed was indeed troublesome, but its strength was insufficient. Its body crumbled at the slightest touch of Luo Jun's attack, while its attacks, in turn, barely harmed Luo Jun. Thus, the battle remained a stalemate, with the Qi-infused humanoid constantly collapsing and healing.

If that's all there is to it, its combat ability is equivalent to a martial arts master who can constantly regenerate, and its strength isn't particularly formidable in the Ascension stage. Luo Jun doesn't believe that a powerful move like fusion has no cost. Fighting for him only requires a bit of stamina; he could stand and fight for three days and three nights without getting tired, but he doesn't know how long his opponent can last.

With this, they dare to say they won't lose to anyone? Where do they get their confidence?

Luo Jun was dismissive of their boasting. After probing for a while and finding they had nothing new to offer, he decided to end the fight.

His internal energy circulated, and as it passed through his sea of ​​consciousness, it became tinged with black...

Black Fire is the only magical attack that Luo Jun can currently master, and it's a powerful mental spell that directly attacks the soul!

Once he was ready, in the next clash, Luo Jun not only defeated the qi-manifested figures, but also injected qi fused with black fire into those qi!

Of course, Luo Jun's goal wasn't to completely kill the four of them; after all, he still had many things to figure out. Therefore, he controlled the power of the black fire, aiming only to create a threat and force them to separate!
Having completed the infusion of black fire, Luo Jun quickly retreated to observe his shattered opponent. He discovered that the qi-infused humanoid figure was rapidly recovering, seemingly unaffected by the black fire.

What's going on? Luo Jun frowned. Ever since he comprehended the black fire, he had been invincible. But this time, the black fire he injected into the other party's body seemed to have sunk into the sea without making a sound.

Could it be that the opponent's mental strength was too strong, and it was neutralized?
Seeing the qi-infused humanoid figure charging forward again, Luo Jun circulated his qi, this time increasing the concentration of the black fire, and attacked once more!

To maximize the effect, he even reduced the force of his punches and kicks, failing to defeat the qi-manifested humanoid. Instead, he grabbed its head and poured all the black fire into it!

However, the high-concentration black fire, which was enough to harm even a Feather Transformation expert, had no effect whatsoever. The Qi humanoid figure did not pause its movements for a moment and threw a punch straight at Luo Jun's face!
Luo Jun dodged the attack and frowned as he stared at the humanoid figure emanating from the qi.

If even this concentration can't affect them, do they have such high mental resistance?
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and increased the concentration of the black fire again.

Thus, in the clash between the two sides, Luo Jun continuously increased the power of the black fire, but in the end, even after increasing the concentration of the black fire to the highest level and the output to the maximum, it still had no effect on the enemy!

This unscientific!

Luo Jun frowned. The damage he had accumulated from all the black fire he had unleashed was enough to burn the brain of a Yu Hua. Even if this guy had strong mental resistance, he shouldn't have been completely unaffected!

Unless... he doesn't have a soul at all!
That doesn't make sense. Luo Jun saw with his own eyes that it was formed from the fusion of four people; how could it not have a soul? Besides, the soul directly determines the control and application of vital energy. Without a soul, how could the opponent manipulate qi to fight him!
In any case, since the black fire was useless, Luo Jun could only rely on physical means to deal with this qi-wielding humanoid! He simply went all out and launched a fierce attack on the enemy, constantly breaking it apart and depleting its energy.

Soon, Luo Jun noticed that the Qi-infused humanoid's recovery speed was slowing down, clearly indicating that it was starting to run out of steam!

However, this aura-wielding humanoid seemed unaware that it was constantly weakening, and continued to fight Luo Jun relentlessly, showing no intention of running away!
It seems that this magical fusion technique has quite a few drawbacks. While gaining immense power, it has lost human emotions and intelligence, turning into a mere fighting machine!

Finally, after Luo Jun's heavy blow, the qi-body figure was completely destroyed, shattering into pieces and disappearing without a trace...

Disappeared?
Luo Jun thought that after exhausting the energy of this Qi-infused humanoid figure, it would disintegrate and revert back to the four people. How could it have simply disappeared?
Is he dead?

No... The powerful aura of the humanoid qi still lingers around. It's still there, just invisible... Could it be that the battle was too intense this time, and it's still in the process of regrouping?
Just as Luo Jun was making his guesses, a voice suddenly came from the east.

"Interesting! I never imagined such a master was hidden within the Nine Provinces!" Accompanying this voice was a powerful aura!

It's ascension!
This aura is undoubtedly that of a powerful Ascension Realm expert! Luo Jun frowned and looked eastward. He saw a noblewoman dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, carrying a halberd, flying through the air. She looked to be around forty years old, with long, azure hair, bright and striking features, sharp eyes and a haughty demeanor. Standing in the air, she exuded an aura of dominance that made people dare not look directly at her.

Although he had never seen him before, Luo Jun could guess the identity of the person just by his aura and attire!

The strongest master in the martial arts world, one of the three great masters among the Four Saints and Three Absolutes, is Dragon Mother Ao Zhen!
How could a powerful being who has ascended to immortality come here?
Luo Jun quickly realized that she was also attracted by the aura of the Feather Transformation level!
In the same world, once a being at the Feathered level uses their abilities to a certain extent, the aura they emit will be sensed by other Feathered beings. This makes it possible for Feathered beings to have almost no secrets from each other and they are all familiar with one another.

If an existing being has already ascended to immortality, other immortals won't bother with it unless it does something outrageous. However, if a new immortal appears, it might disrupt the old order, and this fluctuation will naturally attract the attention of the established immortals!
This is why those who ascend from the main world rarely come to other worlds, because the fluctuations they generate when they pass through the world gate are likely to be sensed by other ascenders!

However, Luo Jun, as a sage, is not bound by this rule. While sages possess combat power comparable to immortals, they lack protective qi and rely solely on physical strength, making them unable to trigger the senses of those seeking ascension. Therefore, Luo Jun can freely traverse various worlds without worrying about arousing the fear of native ascension beings!
But don't forget, the Qi humanoid that Luo Jun is currently fighting is also a being at the Feather Transformation level. Moreover, unlike Luo Jun, this thing not only has Qi, but is entirely composed of Qi!
How could the appearance of such a monster not attract Yu Hua's attention?
The valley that Luo Jun teleported to was only a little over a thousand miles away from the East Sea. In addition, the four of them fled eastward, and their battle with Luo Jun after merging also caused them to move unconsciously. At this point, they were not far from the East Sea, which was Ao Zhen's territory. The Dragon Mother sensed this and naturally rushed there immediately!

But she is the first, though she will never be the only one!
"It's so lively here!" An old voice came from the north, accompanied by an aura as heavy as a mountain.

Luo Jun turned his head and saw an old man with disheveled hair and a cane standing on a mountain peak to the north. Although he was as small as an ant compared to the mountain below, for some reason, everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to him, and they could only notice this unassuming old man. The majestic mountain at his feet seemed as insignificant as a mound of earth.

Luo Jun had met this old beggar before; he was one of the three great masters of the Nine Provinces, along with the Dragon Mother. Back when he slew the evil dragon Li Mazi and devoured the dragon's essence, this old beggar had caused him trouble and almost crippled his arm. He never expected to meet him again now that he had returned to the martial arts world.

"Hahaha, let me see, should we add another Saint this time, or another Supreme?"

Along with these words, an incomparably domineering aura came from the northwest. Luo Jun looked in the direction and saw a tall, burly man with a long beard. This man held a long-handled, broadsword with a hilt that reached his shoulder. The massive blade was almost as long as the hilt, and a blue dragon was engraved on it. It was both heavy and sharp.

Such a blade truly lives up to its reputation as the king of all weapons, and the person wielding it exudes an aura of dominance sufficient to control this divine weapon. He must be Guan Tianfeng, one of the Four Saints, the Sword Saint.

"Are you the newly born one who has ascended to immortality?"

Another question was asked, and at the same time, an extremely sharp sword aura came from the south. Without turning around, Luo Jun could guess that the person who came was definitely Zuo Taixuan, one of the Four Saints!

"Huh?" Zuo Taixuan appeared, slightly surprised. "Luo Jun? What are you doing here...?"

Luo Jun turned around and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "I am deeply honored that the Sword Saint still remembers me!"

"Brother Zuo, do you recognize him?" Sword Saint Guan Tianfeng asked curiously, "Is this the newly ascended Ascension Realm cultivator? He doesn't look quite right..."

"It's not him!" The Beggar of the Nine Provinces also recognized Luo Jun: "I've seen this kid before. He has some skills, but he's still far from reaching the Ascension Realm. Moreover, the aura of Ascension Realm doesn't emanate from him."

“Indeed!” Dragon Mother Ao Zhen nodded as well: “Not long ago, that aura was still very clear, but now it is much weaker and blurry…” As she spoke, she swung the halberd in her hand and glanced around.

"It's been months since I last saw you, and you seem a bit strange." Zuo Taixuan looked at Luo Jun and said, "You don't seem to have any internal energy, but... there's something about you that I can't quite put my finger on."

After Zuo Taixuan said this, the others also looked at Luo Jun. The Nine Provinces Beggar nodded: "This kid is indeed different from before, but he is not the one we sensed ascension. However, his appearance here must mean that he witnessed the birth of that ascension!"

“That makes sense!” Guan Tianfeng nodded: “Little one, where did that Yu Hua hide?”

“He didn’t hide it.” Luo Jun shrugged. “It’s still here, right between us…”

"What do you mean by that?" Dragon Mother Ao Zhen's eyebrows furrowed.

"You'll see for yourselves..." As soon as Luo Jun finished speaking, the aura emanating from the surrounding area began to condense and take shape, and after a moment, it returned to its previous form of qi.

"This is……"

This bizarre scene greatly surprised the four experts who had just ascended to immortality. They looked at the semi-transparent white humanoid figure and sensed its aura, never expecting that the so-called newly ascended immortal would have such a magnificent appearance.

"Is this still human?" Zuo Taixuan frowned deeply. Guan Tianfeng analyzed, "No, this is more like a spirit that has become sentient... Could it be that someone failed to break through to immortality and went into a state of demonic possession, creating this ghostly creature?"

Before the few Ascension Realm cultivators could even figure out what was happening, the restored Qi-infused humanoid figure lunged at Luo Jun! Clearly, it was still executing the commands set during the fusion!

"Stop it!" shouted the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar. Several Ascended cultivators attacked almost simultaneously, targeting the qi-wielding humanoid figure!

It's no wonder that these powerful figures acted rashly. Although they had ascended to immortality, they had grown up in the martial world and had never seen such a strange ability before. They assumed it was some kind of demon and naturally wanted to eliminate it!
However, despite being struck simultaneously by attacks from four Feathered Ones, this Qi-infused humanoid was not broken down as it had been by Luo Jun's attack!

Neither Zuo Taixuan's sword, Guan Tianfeng's knife, Ao Zhen's halberd, nor the Nine Provinces Divine Beggar's palm could harm the Qi humanoid in the slightest. On the contrary, the Qi humanoid's energy surged, and with a tremor, it actually repelled the four masters and continued to rush towards Luo Jun!
