Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 818: The Sky-shattering Hand
The sky was light and the breeze blew across the cliffs, causing the sea of ​​clouds to float up and down.

From a distance, the black and white dojo looks picturesque, dotted with palaces and pavilions, towering peaks, cranes flying high in the sky, and vague outlines can be seen below, only the blue sky becomes hazy.

There are shadowy figures on that jade square at this moment.

I don't know if it's because the light is too light, or because the place is suddenly quiet, but it seems more and more that this place is not real.

Above the Jade Square.

Chen Mu's expression was indifferent, but his eyes revealed a sharp light. He ignored the many gazes coming his way and only looked at the figure in front of him.

Ruan You took a deep breath and did not answer Chen Mu in a hurry. Instead, he looked around, starting from Taoist Jin Zhong and ending with Taoist Fang.

After looking around, anger finally showed in his eyes. He sneered and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I've heard that you are well-versed in Taoism and are the world's number one immortal talent. I really want to learn from you!"

At this point, if he doesn't fight back, that would be tantamount to defeat.

Fortunately, all his fellow disciples are present today. As long as he can defeat Chen Mu, the position of the Lord of Shangzhen Palace will belong to him.

As for the worry that his opponent might have another trump card, although he had many concerns, he was not without a way to deal with it.

"Even if I lose a move or two to you, so what? At most, I'll just have to pay a little more afterwards..."

He never mentioned the matter of Shang Zhen, and only allowed it to be done in the name of fighting, which was an extra layer of protection.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, the Taoist surnamed Fang immediately stopped moving, making him unable to help but curse inwardly.

At this time, Chen Mulang laughed and said, "I came back to the palace this time, and I also wanted to meet fellow Taoists. Since Fellow Daoist Ruan is interested, I will naturally accompany you."

"it is good!"

Taoist Mingxuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly cheered and said with a smile, "It's common for fellow disciples to fight with each other, which is very good. However, I still have to say one thing: I hope you two will not cause any damage to the relationship..."

Although he hoped that Ruan You would win and continue to be the number one, Chen Mu was also a person valued by Uncle Xuyun and could not be dismissed casually.

Just let the two of them fight each other, and the winner will be decided by the Supreme One.

Hearing this, Chen and Ruan both understood that he meant to give up, and they pondered in their hearts and bowed and said yes.

"Fellow Taoist, please."

The Jade Square is not too big, so it cannot withstand the battle between two great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. They have to go up to the sky to fully display their skills.

Ruan You felt that he was in control of the situation and wanted to be the first in everything. He stomped his foot and jumped up, instantly turning into a ray of mysterious light and flying towards the sky.

Chen Mu smiled casually, flicked his sleeves, and also turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

The rest of the people also came to the sea of ​​clouds under the leadership of Taoist Mingxuan.

It was almost dusk, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds. The wind was whistling in my ears, and the cries of cranes from the distant mountains could be heard continuously.

"Palace Master, is it possible for Shang Zhen to win?"

Master Fenglian's body was trembling with nervousness, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Jitian, not daring to move away in the slightest.

Zi Yang also looked solemn. Although they knew that Chen Mu had made progress, they still didn't know much about his specific strength.

On the other hand, Ruan You has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years and has a great reputation. Even though he was imprisoned for a hundred years, he still ranks among the top in his school.

If the two of them were to face off at this moment, who in the field could guarantee who would win or lose?

"My dear teacher, you will win."

Yu Chengduan spoke slowly and concisely.

Zi Yang and the other two glanced at him sideways, nodded and said nothing more.

Taoist Tianxiao, standing nearby, noticed this, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He took a few steps closer and asked softly, "Young friend, do you believe this so much?"

Although Yu Chengduan didn't know him, he knew that this man was of high status when he saw Ziyang and the other two were so respectful. He bowed and said vaguely, "Of course I trust my teacher."

Not knowing who the other person was close to, he naturally wouldn't reveal his credentials so as not to cause trouble for his mentor.

Taoist Tianxiao smiled when he heard this, but did not ask any further questions.

Above the sky, the two faced each other from afar.

Ruan You's eyes flashed coldly as he glanced at his fellow disciples in the distance. Suddenly, his mind settled and he bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a move with his hands. There was a loud roar, and above the sky, countless dark thunders suddenly rose up, flashing and turbulent for thousands of miles.

But it is the only thunder magic in the Black and White Taoist Palace, the mysterious thunder of Yin and Yang!

Chen Mu also dabbled in this method, but its potential was not as great as that of the Dragon Palace Thunder Technique, so he only used it to destroy the Dao Seed to enhance the foundation of the "Tai Su Wu Xiang Yu Qing Jue" and did not practice it too much.

The power currently being performed by Ruan You was truly on the scale of ten thousand thunders. It was obvious that he had been immersed in it for a long time, and its power was quite impressive.

"Want to use thunder magic to seize the initiative?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly, pointed, and used the thunder method as well. In an instant, the silver dragon rushed forward, with mad lightning and thunder, like waves hitting the shore, surging forward layer by layer.

When the two sides collided, rumbling sounds were heard throughout the sky, and the entire black and white world trembled slightly, especially above the mountain gate, where the sky suddenly changed, strong winds blew, and torrential rain poured down wantonly.

When Taoist Mingxuan saw this, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He pinched his fingers to summon the forbidden formation at the mountain gate, protecting the mountain gate and the lower-level disciples.

Thunder roared, spreading across thousands of miles, and lasted for more than a full moment before gradually disappearing.

Even so, the echoes still continue throughout the world.

Ruan You narrowed his eyes, feeling a little surprised.

Although Chen Mu was responding as a last resort, he could see that he did not use much spiritual power. It was obvious that he was well versed in the wonders of the Dragon Palace's thunder magic, so he responded calmly.

He had originally intended to seize the initiative, but he was unexpectedly controlled by the other party, thus falling into a disadvantage...

"He is indeed not an easy person to deal with."

He calmed his mind again, a layer of white appeared in his eyes, and then he raised his hand again, and a ray of gray light flashed out.

The light was only a few feet in size at first, but after a moment, it suddenly emitted countless gray rays, almost blocking out the light of the sun and moon in this world.

Wherever he went, the remnants of thunder magic and the rolling spiritual inspiration were all wiped out without a trace.
Jin Zhong and the others below were stroking their beards, their eyes closed as they sensed the battle situation. When they sensed the change in inspiration, they suddenly opened their eyes and laughed heartily, saying, "Palace Master Ruan is about to use a ruthless move!"

This grey light is not a technique of the Black and White Taoist Palace, but was created by the True Lord Dongzhen himself. Many of his disciples have practiced it and it is very famous. It is far beyond ordinary Taoist techniques, and is called "Mirage Forbidden Chongyuan".

Once this technique is used, it has the ability to destroy external energy and eliminate spiritual ideas. It is most effective in restraining opponents with strong magical powers.

Of course, there are drawbacks to using this method. One's own vitality and magic power will be greatly depleted. If you use it several times, your opponent will drag you down without you having to attack.

Ruan You originally wanted to use this method as a finishing move, but the pressure Chen Mu put on him far exceeded his expectations. To be on the safe side, he had to use it in advance.

However, it was precisely because of this that the battle between the two of them was about to be decided after it had just begun...

Chen Mu looked down intently, his expression showing a seriousness.

He could see that this technique was targeted at him. If he used water magic to counter it, he would be dragged into a stalemate, which was inconsistent with his intention.

I haven't appeared in the world for the past sixty years. Although the various sects in Central China have not come to the Black and White Taoist Palace to wait and see, they can't help but keep an eye on it.

If the fight with Ruan You drags on and becomes difficult to determine, how can we plan for the devil's calamity in the future?

"This battle must be won decisively!"

Thinking of this, he calmed his mind, summoned the spiritual tide with his own Nascent Soul, and waved his hand again. Immediately, white smoke rolled up from the sky.

In an instant, a giant hand holding up the sky condensed, pressing down from top to bottom. Before it reached the gray light, a torrent of water blasted away the clouds, as if to smash the world into pieces!
The Black and White Sect members below all exclaimed in surprise, thinking to themselves, "Isn't this the 'One Qi Mitian Hand' from the sect?"

The "One Qi Mitian Hand" is quite famous in the Black and White Taoist Palace. One reason is that this Taoist technique has the least restrictions on practice, and almost every Nascent Soul cultivator has practiced it.

Secondly, this method was extremely pure, unlike the endlessly changing techniques of advanced Taoist techniques. It simply aimed to annihilate the enemy in a single blow, thus appearing to be extremely powerful. Taoist Tianxiao nodded slowly, feeling that Chen Mu's response was correct.

When facing the "Mirage Ban Chong Yuan", you must break it in one go!
"However, the 'One Qi Mitian Hand' is not enough to counter it..."

As soon as this thought came to mind, Chen Mu waved his hands repeatedly, and white smoke suddenly rose in the sky. Giant hands that could hold up the sky came down one after another, shaking the earth and roaring continuously.

If you count carefully, there are actually thirteen moves!
"How...how is this possible?"

Even Tianxiao and Mingxuan Taoist, who had already reached the state of perfection, could not help but tremble their beards and widen their eyes when they suddenly saw this scene.

Although the "One Qi Mitian Hand" is only of the lower level, it is also a technique to enter the Tao.

For ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, performing two or three simultaneous actions is already the limit, and even they can only perform eight or nine.

Who would have thought that today, I would see thirteen of them appearing at the same time!
"Chen Muzhi's magical power and inspiration are so strong..."

Little did people know that the reason why Chen Mu was able to achieve this skill was that his magical power and intelligence were naturally strong, but the most important reason was that his innate Taoist fetus played a great role.

Chen Mu cast his eyes downwards. This kind of straightforward Taoist method, now used by him in the late Nascent Soul stage, was even more powerful. It was no exaggeration to say that it could destroy a sect's mountain gate with one palm.

According to common sense, even a cultivator who has reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage cannot easily withstand thirteen "One Qi Mitian Hands" combined. How can he resist a mere "Mirage Forbidden Chongyuan"?

The result was just as he expected. The gray light retreated step by step, and the gray light at the source became dimmer and dimmer. Within a few breaths, it faded away and disappeared in an instant.

His Taoist magic was broken, and Ruan You spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky. He staggered and almost fell from the clouds.

However, even though he managed to stabilize himself in the end, his face turned pale and his combat power was reduced by at least 40%.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise again, but compared to last time, this time there was less surprise.

Indeed, anyone facing such "exaggerated" tactics would probably be defeated...

But Chen Mu took advantage of the situation and slapped him with his backhand!
Ruan You looked embarrassed. He felt that he had already been defeated and it would be difficult for a miracle to happen if he dragged on. However, this result was far from what he had expected.

If he was only defeated by one or two moves, he would still have a chance to turn defeat into victory and still maintain his position as the Supreme One.

But only half an hour has passed. Once you admit defeat, everything will be over.

At that time, the help from many fellow disciples would become a burden to him, making his already broken path even more difficult.

"I thought I was on the right track, but I ended up in a situation where I couldn't get off the tiger..."

He gritted his teeth secretly and could only continue to push forward.

The natal infant made hand gestures one after another, and the top of the head opened instantly, releasing countless smoke, gathering and condensing the surging spiritual energy in the sky, and then holding it in the dome, intending to block the giant hand's attack first, and then make plans for change.

However, his actions could not hide the fact that he had lost his spirit in the eyes of the people below.

Taoist Mingxuan sighed inwardly, but did not express much.

Instead, Tianxiao sighed, seeming to be quite disappointed with Ruan You.

As for the rest of the people, they couldn't help but whisper.

"Isn't this too fast?"

"Who said Brother Ruan Dao's victory was easy? You've really made me suffer!"

"If you defend too long, you will lose. Why don't you just hold on a little longer? Chen Mu has used so many 'One Qi Mi Tian Hands', the losses must be huge. If you can hold on through this difficult time, there might be a chance of victory."

"Don't talk nonsense. If you were to fight Chen Shangzhen, you would probably be defeated within three breaths."

"Calling Chen Shangzhen now, Elder He's expression changed so quickly."

"Chen Shangzhen... he truly possesses the potential to be a demon!"

……

While everyone was talking, Taoist Fang frowned.

He was entrusted by Jiang's good friend to try to take the position of Lord of Shangzhen Palace from Chen Mu.

I thought that just fanning the flames from behind and encouraging Ruan You to take action would be enough to make it happen, but I didn't expect...

"Ruan You is so useless!"

He cursed inwardly and was about to turn around and leave angrily.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the jade pendant hanging from his waist: "Brother Fang, if your request fails, then the previously agreed upon 'Huan Yan Ling Lan' will be invalid..."

He suddenly froze, tightly gripping the jade pendant as he transmitted his message, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, how could you go back on your word? Without the Hunyan Linglan, how could I possibly break through this bottleneck?"

"That's none of my business."

The jade pendant flickered slightly, as if the eyes of the person on the other end were moving.

A hint of anger rose in the heart of Taoist Fang, but he knew that he could do nothing to the other party. He looked back at the battle in Tianzhong, hesitated for a few breaths, and then said angrily: "This matter is not over yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

He put away the jade pendant and quietly walked a few steps away from the crowd.

Then he took a deep breath, looked at Ruan You and said to himself, "What a waste... I'll help you one last time."

His body trembled slightly, and he closed his eyes and began to practice his skills.

After a while, streaks of fire flew out from above his head and gathered in mid-air to form a glittering talisman with seal characters printed on it, which looked like dragons and snakes dancing, and was very beautiful.

This talisman is not the condensation of magic power, but the result of an ancient magic. No one except the caster can see it.

Taoist Fang consumed a lot of energy in order to condense such a talisman. He was sweating on his forehead and felt sore all over.

However, he did not delay for a moment. With a light wave, the talisman flew towards Ruan You and floated into his body.

Ruan You was exhausted from dealing with Chen Mu's Taoist bombardment, and his magic power was almost exhausted.

But the moment the talisman entered his body, he felt his spiritual power gushing out like a spring, and all his injuries were suppressed. Although he was not healed, at least he was safe for a short time.

"This is……"

He suddenly realized that it was Taoist Fang's secret technique that was used.

Few people knew about this secret technique, but he had known it for hundreds of years and naturally had some knowledge of it, so he realized it instantly.

He was overjoyed and took the opportunity to look sideways. Seeing Taoist Fang giving him a look, his previous resentment towards him dissipated a lot.

"Brother Fang, I will accept your kindness today..."

He muttered to himself, then turned to Chen Mu again, feeling the gradually increasing magic power, his eyes suddenly changed!
"Fellow Daoist Chen, come and try Ruan's methods!"

He shouted loudly, summoning a flood of inspiration, and the world suddenly turned upside down, achieving the art of "black sky and white earth"!
Chen Mu frowned, aware that Ruan You's aura in front of him was weakening and strengthening, as if he had become a different person. How could he not feel strange?
Looking at the entire Taiyi Xuanling Realm, is there such a mysterious technique?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
He kept his mind focused and looked at Ruan You, and suddenly a strange feeling came to his heart.

It was as if the magic power of the person in front of him did not come from himself, but...

Relying on his powerful soul, Chen Mu traced the source bit by bit, and finally landed on the shabby Taoist who was deliberately hiding behind everyone.

He immediately understood, and after thinking for a moment, he sneered and shouted, "Since this fellow Taoist is interested, why is he hiding behind the scenes and acting so sneaky?"

He swung his hand back, and the smoke suddenly gathered together, forming the "One Qi Overwhelming Hand" and attacked fiercely.

"And join forces with Fellow Daoist Ruan to take me!"
