Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 890: Ashes of Wood Create Fire, True Water Extinguishes Flames
The starry sky is dim, and the white feathers are startling.

The cry of the crane was filled with tyrannical pressure, and every falling feather turned into a three-foot-long green sword.

The sky was filled with sword rain pouring down with the force of splitting the world apart, completely submerging the place where Chen Mu was in the dazzling golden light.

The resulting disturbance shocked everyone present. He was able to use the Dao Fruit to such perfection, worthy of being a disciple of Zhongdu Yujingxu.

While everyone was amazed, they also looked at Chen Mu eagerly. How would this Nascent Soul cultivator who had repeatedly exceeded their expectations deal with such an attack?
In the blink of an eye, endless waves rose into the sky from Ze Ding. The nine layers of waves mixed with the river of stars, causing tiny stars to appear in the deep and mysterious water.

Feathers shot down, and the shadow of a Chilong surged in the waves. The two colors of black and gold intertwined into a giant net in the boundless starry sky.

"Whoosh!"

Water splashed, golden swords broke, and with a loud bang, the Big Dipper in the depths of the galaxy suddenly flickered.

Chen Mu's eyes lit up, he stepped on the waves and made hand gestures, and the whale song suddenly appeared in the sound of the tide.

On the contrary, the star map under the feet of the man in the crane cloak suddenly darkened, and the crane image in the clouds was swallowed by 30% of the mist, and the black hem of his clothes was inexplicably covered with wet marks.

"not good!"

The man in the crane cloak's face changed with shock, and he rolled up his wide sleeves to collect the star field, but he saw Chen Mu snapping the water cauldron with his finger, and suddenly a melodious sound spread throughout the entire starry sky.

The affected areas began to glisten with water light, transforming into azure jade suspended in the air...

"This……"

The man in the crane cloak suddenly woke up, raised his head to look at the surging waves of cranes fighting in the starry sky, then turned to look at Chen Mu.

The starlight fell like frost on his tense jaw, making the cold light in his eyes flicker.

If he still couldn't understand Chen Mu's chess moves at this moment, he would be ashamed of his own True Lord cultivation...

Chen Mu's seemingly desperate attempt to overcome the overwhelming tide was clearly a bait with ulterior motives.

On the surface, he intended to fight him to the death, but in fact, he knew that he would be furious, so he acted decisively to expose his flaws, and then he changed his tactics and turned to infiltrate his own star field.

Yet, he had stepped into the trap like a puppet on a string, allowing his anger to scatter his spiritual clarity, allowing the other party to take advantage of the situation and infiltrate the very foundations of the star field...

"This boy... actually has such a meticulous mind..."

The man in the crane cloak had an ugly expression on his face, and felt extremely ashamed and angry.

He still made the mistake of underestimating his enemy, even though Chen Mu displayed a condensed Dao fruit that was no less powerful than that of a True Lord.

If he could be calmer, not get angry at Chen Mu's actions, and always take the initiative, how could he have allowed him to occupy 30% of the star field?

You know, he had been fighting with Guanxingzi openly and secretly for several hours, but he was never able to gain any advantage over him.

Who is Guanxingzi, and who is Chen Mu?

At the beginning, how could these two people be compared?

But looking at the current situation, he had to admit that he had indeed suffered a loss at the hands of Chen Mu.

Thirty percent of the reason was Chen Mu, and seventy percent was his own fault.

But the hidden losses are real. What’s the point of dividing the responsibilities more carefully?

The flowing star tracks were reflected in the man's suddenly clear pupils, and his crane cloak automatically stirred up frosty ripples without wind.

His expression gradually calmed down. The 30% of the star field he had lost had become a perpetual lamp hanging on the spiritual platform.

It can be said that it is no longer easy for Chen Muruo to gain an advantage over him at this moment...

However, Chen Mu smiled calmly, but he did not think of taking advantage of the situation to pursue. There would always be people willing to do such a hard job.

"Master Guanxing!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the starry sky, and his clear voice spread throughout the place in an instant.

Guan Xingzi's robe fluttered lightly as he stepped on the ripples and appeared. He looked down with a pair of smiling eyes: "What do you mean, Master Chen?"

Chen Mu bowed his head and chuckled, "Master Yuque has come a long way, but the depths of the Cloud Abyss are fraught with danger..."

He raised his finger and pointed at the countless Dao traces surging in the cracks of the void. "I heard that the Star Observing Master is the best at understanding star maps. Why don't you show me a clear path?"

Upon hearing this, Guanxingzi clapped his hands and laughed, and the star tracks around him suddenly became three times brighter.

After a few breaths, his smile faded, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he looked at Chen Mu and said, "Interesting."

There was only one top-grade Dao mark in this Dragon Fishing Banquet. The more star fields one occupied, the clearer and stronger the Dao Fruit Map would be, and it would naturally be easier to resonate with the top-grade Dao mark.

This is an unspoken rule, so even if Chen Mu doesn't mention it, he and Yu Que will have a fight here sooner or later.

But it was different now. The star map in the hands of the Crane Cloak monk had dimmed by 30%, which was a rare flaw.

If he were to face him now, he would have a 70% chance of winning...

Seeing that Guan Xingzi seemed to be ready to move, the man in the crane cloak frowned and shouted, "Guan Xing Daoist, why are you so anxious? Let's wait until I capture this boy before we start our battle!"

If he could capture Chen Mu, he could make up for his losses and even further improve the star map.

But the problem is, Guanxingzi also knows the details, so how could he give him time?

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Yuque, you're joking. Master Chen is a junior from Sandu, so why do you have to use your power to bully me? Why don't you just compete with me?"

Astrologer's wide sleeves fluttered like clouds, and as he laughed loudly, a star disk spun out from behind his head.

In an instant, thousands of starlights gathered together to form a brilliant star beam that reached the sky and the earth. It actually abandoned the method of advancing layer by layer and flew straight into the sky towards the red-crowned white crane that was flapping its wings to escape!

Chen Mu had a faint smile on his lips, and withdrew from the battle with his green robe fluttering. Before leaving, he did not forget to make things difficult for the man in the crane cloak. With a flick of his wide sleeves, the water vapor in the sea instantly turned into a huge wave, barely blocking Bai He's retreat.

The man in the crane cloak was furious. Even though he tried to calm himself down, his face flushed red. He grinned and said, "Okay, okay, okay, you want to take advantage of the situation and bully me? How can it be so easy?!"

He suddenly bit his tongue and spurted out blood. The golden light that had penetrated the tip of the pen began to move around like a living thing, drawing seven sky-splitting edges on the star wall.

The next moment, the wings of the red-crowned white crane were suddenly coated with gold, and its long cry shook the sky. Visible ripples in the void spread out layer by layer, and actually broke the Tongtian Star Beam into pieces.

Guan Xingzi's expression changed slightly. As he made finger gestures, the star disk turned upside down, and countless shadows of meteorites fell from the sky...

However, Chen Mu had no time to watch the battle, and his sword drew a mysterious trajectory in the void.

The thirty percent of the star field that was seized trembled violently, and the starlight hanging from the sky poured into the jade disk in front of him with the pattern of water mist tripod flowing on it like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.

The tripod image suddenly burst out with a deep blue spiritual light, and the dormant Chilong pattern on the tripod seemed to be about to break through the wall. Even the natal Dao fruit in the sea of ​​consciousness also condensed three points, faintly revealing the Dao rhyme of the beginning of chaos.

"call!"

Chen Mu let out a long breath, closed his eyes and felt the innate water energy flowing in the Tao fruit.

Although these were obtained temporarily due to the special situation of this place, they also pointed out the direction for his future and gave him many insights.

But this was not the time to digest it, so he raised his eyes and looked towards where his senior sister was.

Jin Tianqi was able to kill his brother and ascend to the throne without being blamed by his family. He was indeed extremely powerful. Not only did he fight Murong Xi back and forth, he even had some advantages.

Perhaps he noticed Chen Mu's gaze, and Jin Tianqi felt like a thorn in his side. He suddenly turned the tip of his pen and increased its strength by another three points.

The flames of the Fire Snake Entwined with Wood image surged, and thousands of feet of red flames rose from the charred wood grain, and the force of the prairie fire instantly turned the entire void into a furnace.

The Cloud and Water Sword trembled in the steaming heat, rising repeatedly into the air. The frost on the sword's blade turned into white mist before it could even drip. Suddenly, a fire snake raised its head and spit out its tongue. Its fine scales jingled like copper armor, piercing the sky with a stream of fire. As its fangs bit the sword's spine with precision, a sound of metal and iron rang out.

"Zheng!"

The sword's sound pierces the clouds and splits the rocks.

Murong Xi quickly retracted her jade fingers, intending to call back the sword of life, but suddenly found that the scales on the fire snake's body exploded and then wrapped around the sword, entangled in the sharp sword body.

Sparks flew everywhere, but the fire snake remained safe and sound.

Murong Xi frowned, unable to turn back, and just moved forward!

She turned the pen tip, and the Shengsheng Yunshui Sword suddenly burst into thousands of ice patterns. The sword tip did not retreat but advanced, carrying a sky full of frost and falling straight into the sea of ​​fire.

Instantly, water and fire collided, and the steaming hail condensed into a thousand-foot-long mist dragon among the stars, its scales and claws still carrying a green and red light entangled with ice and fire...

Jin Tianqi was not at all panicked. He wrote with great speed, blocking every stroke of the pen. Then he saw that the momentum of Shengsheng Yunshui Sword suddenly stopped, and the three-inch tip of the sword gradually turned red in the flames, and it sank directly into the sea of ​​fire.

It was impossible to go, and it was impossible to retreat. Murong Xi thought to herself that this was not good. Jin Tianqi was indeed impressive!
She didn't have time to think about it anymore and could only play her trump card first.

Murong Xi tapped her toes, uttered a clear cry, and inspiration suddenly surged throughout her body.

The Shengsheng Yunshui Sword sensed the original energy and instantly emitted a clear sword sound. The sword body rippled like water, transforming into countless sword shadows that were both real and imaginary.

Sword shadows flickered all over the sky like shimmering waves, and combined with the surrounding clouds and mist, they created a shimmering sword light illusion within a radius of thousands of feet, which was like a dream, unreal and unreal.

The fire snake was suddenly released due to the change of reality and illusion, and was exposed to the sword light.

Jin Tianqi frowned slightly, and the magic formulas between his fingers turned rapidly.

The fire snake that was originally fluctuating suddenly shrank, appearing and disappearing in the raging flames.

But at this time, the Yunshui sword energy had already covered the entire area. Even if he hid deeply, how could he escape the sword energy's detection?
"go with!"

Murong Xi's beautiful eyes suddenly became fierce, and her bare hands formed a mysterious sword seal. The sword light in the sky immediately turned into a torrential sword rain pouring down.

The unstoppable sword energy was like a sharp blade that split the sea, splitting the boiling sea of ​​fire into thousands of tiny streams of fire, which intertwined into a dazzling fire net in mid-air.

The fire snake hiding in it had no way to escape. In an instant, it was pierced thousands of times by the sword energy, and its red scales were shattered inch by inch.

But even so, it still twisted and refused to collapse...

Jin Tianqi's eyes were as dark as water, and his mind raced.

Murong Xi has a trump card, and naturally he has one too. He is extremely confident in his trump card, and once he uses it, he can definitely defeat Murong Xi.

However, he wanted to leave this surprise to his final opponent, so he tried his best to capture Murong Xi without bloodshed.

But from the current situation, if he doesn't show his trump card, he may not even be able to pass the next level.

Under this premise, Jin Tianqi made the decision extremely quickly, and decided to take action decisively without waiting for the sword shadow to strike again.

He stood still, clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, an ancient prayer burst out from his throat, and tiny beads of blood oozed from the pores all over his body.

The blood drop evaporated into red mist before it hit the ground, and flew into the sea of ​​fire, wrapping around the broken fire snake.

The next moment, green wood grains suddenly grew out of the broken snake body, and blood-red new buds sprouted from the broken end, the emerald green was eye-catching.

Murong Xi's eyes tightened, and she finally realized what the other party's trump card was.

It turned out that Jin Tianqi had already refined the essence of Yi wood into his innate true fire, and used the method of wood to generate fire to nurture the Taoist fruit that contained the mechanism of birth, death and reincarnation.

"This man's appearance is similar to that of his Jin clan ancestor!"

All the monks from the three cities who noticed the situation here all thought in unison...

Just as everyone was horrified, thousands of broken fire snakes instantly transformed into twisted ancient vines, with sky-burning golden flames leaping on the green wood grain.

Each broken snake became an independent fire seed, growing wildly into a towering fire tree in the clouds, water and sword energy.

Murong Xi gritted his teeth secretly, drew a circle with the pen in his white wrist, and the sword shadows in the sky cut down before the opponent could gain momentum.

"Kakaka..."

There were several loud noises in succession, and the flaming trees broke one after another.

But before Murong Xi could relax, vines grew out like snakes and wrapped around the thousands of sword lights, making a sound of metal clashing. New shoots suddenly grew from the cut off places and gathered together.

In the blink of an eye, a giant fire-wrapped tree that pierced through heaven and earth grew in the center of the sword formation. Thousands of flaming ribbons hung down from the treetops, burning spider-web cracks in Murong Xi's cloud and water illusion.

The Dao Fruits were losing the battle one after another, and the two star fields were gradually moving apart.

The star wall flickered, but Murong Xi still refused to give up. She bit the tip of her tongue with her pearly teeth, spurting out bright red blood.

The blood beads meandered along the star wall and penetrated deep into the sword map.

In an instant, the intricate sword patterns glowed with red light, and the countless sword lights in the galaxy were dyed red. With the sound of clanging, the vines that were wrapped around it were shattered, and it transformed into a dragon again, soaring into the sky.

However, Jin Tianqi was well prepared. He suddenly roared, and the giant fire-wrapped tree suddenly rose up, the wood became more ablaze, and the red flames danced wildly and rose up.

The raging flames surged thousands of feet high, swallowing up the sword light that had just escaped the cage.

The remaining power of the raging sea of ​​fire remained undiminished, and it surged forward again, making the galaxy look like a furnace, and the starry sky turned into crimson clouds.

Murong Xi's face became paler and paler. Just as he was about to offer his blood and essence again, he suddenly heard a voice from the empty valley.

She looked back suddenly, only to see the starlight surging and the green waves breaking through the air with the force of wind and thunder.

"Junior brother!"

The stars in Murong Xi's eyes bloomed again, and she stretched out her jade fingers and flicked out three black marks. The mist immediately turned into mountains and ridges that stretched across her body.

At the same time, the Cloud and Water Sword Formation shone brightly, echoing the raging waves of the ocean rushing in from the distance.

Although the two did not exchange a single word, they both understood each other's meaning.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. While controlling the true water to spread, he began to change direction, causing the trajectory of his star map to gradually press towards the Apocalypse.

He just watched for a while and put pressure on the side in order to force out all the means of Apocalypse.

Now that he had gotten what he wanted, and Murong Xi was showing signs of losing, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

In just a few breaths, the sea of ​​fire and the waves merged, and smoke rose for hundreds of miles across the starry sky.

The scarlet-flame fire snake tore and bit in the raging waves of the vast ocean. Wherever its scales and claws passed, red clouds rose up in the sky, but it broke into pieces inch by inch in the surging waves.

Then, a loud gong was heard from the depths of the green tide, and a raging wave rushed down, crushing the red flame curtain to pieces, and the remaining flames scattered like meteors.

Murong Xi waited for the right opportunity, and thousands of sword lights broke free from their shackles and instantly turned into a reversed galaxy.

The starlight pierced through the lingering mist, drawing thousands of clear rays of light in the crimson embers, just like the Jade Maiden of Yaochi shaking off the cold stars from the sky.

The melody of swords and waves combined to create a resonant rhythm of metal and iron above the starry sky...
