Chapter 224: True Lord Tianli
Upon seeing the rainbow light, Real Person Muchuan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "This is bad! That's the highest alert from Immortal City of Heavenly Departure! Even Lord Heavenly Departure would be alerted! We have no time left!!"
"Let's go!"
Real Person Changfeng let out a fierce shout and transformed into an escape light, flying towards the exterior of Immortal City of Heavenly Departure.
Real Person Muchuan and Le Ziling followed closely behind.
Several Golden Core cultivators from the Immortal City of Heavenly Departure merely dared to follow from a great distance.
"Break it for me!"
Le Ziling arrived at the edge of the Immortal City of Heavenly Departure and, facing the barrier that sealed the city, let out a fierce shout and urged the Purple Cloud Flying Dagger to transform into a beam of purple light, striking fiercely against the barrier of the city.
The Purple Cloud Flying Dagger radiated spiritual light and forcibly split open a gap in the barrier that enveloped the Immortal City of Heavenly Departure.
The Fourth-Order Great Formation enveloping the Immortal City of Heavenly Departure was not fully activated. To instantly activate the Fourth-Order Great Formation, only the holder of the formation's core restrictions, Lord Heavenly Departure, could manage it.
Thus, Le Ziling's Purple Cloud Flying Dagger was able to break through the barrier that locked down the entirety of Immortal City of Heavenly Departure.
Real Person Changfeng and several other Golden Core cultivators transformed into beams of escape light and flew out through the barrier.
Zhao Yu immediately turned invisible and followed closely behind Le Ziling's group.
Real Person Changfeng and the other Golden Core cultivators moved extremely fast with their escape techniques, and in no time, they had fled hundreds of miles.
"You dare to run wild in the Immortal City of Heavenly Departure, you must pay the price! Stay here, all of you!"
An ice-cold and domineering voice suddenly came through. A youth with a burly figure, dressed in a big red robe, handsome in appearance with a somewhat sinister air, suddenly revealed his form, coldly looking at Real Person Changfeng's group. A terrifying aura of Nascent Soul level spread out from his body.
Upon seeing the youth, Real Person Muchuan's face drastically changed, and a trace of despair swept through his eyes, "Lord Heavenly Departure!!"
Oiran Qingqing's face also turned pale, her eyes filled with despair.
If it had been other Golden Core cultivators coming after them, Real Person Muchuan still held some confidence in escaping. But with the Nascent Soul True Lord personally making a move, he had no confidence at all.
Lord Heavenly Departure scanned Le Ziling and Real Person Changfeng with his divine sense and slightly frowned, saying, "What exactly are your origins?"
Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators in the Blue Sky Seas wouldn't be nobodies. Even when facing ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, they had some confidence in escaping from their hands. While Lord Heavenly Departure did not fear such cultivators, he was not one to provoke them easily either.
Le Ziling slightly smiled and responded, "Guess?"
Lord Heavenly Departure coldly smiled and said, "You have a lot of nerve to provoke me! Then I will make sure to give you retribution; you will neither wish to live, nor be able to die!"
Le Ziling and Real Person Changfeng's faces drastically changed, and a trace of chill rose in their hearts.
Suddenly, massive waves of Ghost Fog surged out from the depths of the sea towards Lord Heavenly Departure.
The sea tumultuously churned as the White Ghost Emperor flew out of the waters, his pupils showing pitch-black curse seals, his face ferocious, lunging towards Lord Heavenly Departure.
"A Fourth-Order Evil Ghost? That's your trump card? How foolish!"
Lord Heavenly Departure coldly smiled, waved his hand, and activated his mana to use the divine power of Heavenly Departing True Fire. A reddish flame burst forth, transforming into a flaming phoenix that lunged towards the White Ghost Emperor.
Wherever the flaming phoenix passed, massive waves of Ghost Fog were instantly evaporated.
A look of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the White Ghost Emperor. He threw a punch, and the ghostly energy condensed around his right fist's Ghost Horn struck the flaming phoenix.
The pitch-black ghostly aura struck right through the flame phoenix, scattering it instantly; the remaining flames, as if alive, lunged toward the White Ghost Emperor.
The White Ghost Emperor's face changed drastically, and he plunged into the ocean with a dive.
The flames enveloped the White Ghost Emperor, relentlessly burning his body and causing him excruciating pain.
The Heavenly Departing True Fire was a top-level Flame Divine Power that Heavenly Departing True Monarch had acquired from an ancient relic, incorporating several types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire with infinite might. With this fire, he had even slain an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Zhao Yu emerged from the sea and instantly brought out the Mountain Seal, a stream of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light sweeping toward the Heavenly Departing True Monarch.
"Fellow Daoist, I bear no grudge against you. Why do you attack me?"
The Heavenly Departing True Monarch's expression subtly changed, spreading his fingers and instantly summoning a palm-sized Silk Scarf.
The palm-sized Silk Scarf burst forth in dazzling Spiritual Light, numerous Spirit Silks hanging down, and from within the Silk Scarf emerged fifteen Golden Core Female Cultivator Puppets, tall and supremely beautiful.
These fifteen Golden Core Female Cultivator Puppets possessed cultivation of the Golden Core Great Perfection. They were entwined with chains of Spiritual Power, forming a formation and holding Treasure Grade Magic Swords, their Mana resonating; the fifteen Treasure Grade Magic Swords thrust at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu wielded the Supernatural Mountainous Giant Hand Seal, and a hundred-yard-long stone giant hand materialized, striking down fiercely.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sword lights slashed upon the stone giant hand but were entirely blocked by it.
The stone giant hand grabbed directly at the fifteen Golden Core Female Cultivator Puppets and crushed them completely in one swoop.
"This person possesses powerful divine abilities, and there are Fourth-Order Evil Ghost lurking nearby! It's wise to retreat first! Once we have ascertained his background, we'll deal with him again!"
A glint of cold light passed through the eyes of the Heavenly Departing True Monarch, who waved his hand, withdrew the Heavenly Departing True Fire Divine Power, and transformed into an Escape Light, flying off into the distance.
The sea churned wildly, and the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor burst forth, charging directly at the Heavenly Departing True Monarch.
The Earth Magnetism Mystical Light released from the Mountain Seal tightly bound the Heavenly Departing True Monarch, slowing his Escape Technique by thirty percent.
"Block them for me!"
A serious look crossed the eyes of the Heavenly Departing True Monarch. He slapped his storage bag, and two coffins flew out.
The coffin lids flew off to the side; from the coffins emerged a man eight feet tall, with bulging muscles and a fierce face, wielding a pitch-black Broad Sword, and a woman eight feet tall, voluptuous and stunningly beautiful, wielding a Pitch-Black Spirit Sword.
The male cultivator's gaze was icy as he unleashed a Triple Nascent Soul level of power fluctuation, slashing his sword at the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor.
The female cultivator also unleashed a Triple Nascent Soul level of Mana aura, brandishing her Pitch-Black Spirit Sword, which like a sinister poison dragon, thrust at the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor from an eerie angle.
Clang!
The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor launched a punch, dropping trails of corpse energy as well as shattering the sword light from the male cultivator.
The female cultivator's Pitch-Black Spirit Sword seized the opportunity to thrust at the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor.
The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor punched out again, knocking the female cultivator's Pitch-Black Spirit Sword aside, while the male cultivator seized the opportunity to attack again.
Even though the two Triple Nascent Soul Cultivator Puppets joined forces, they were no match for the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, but they tightly engaged him, preventing him from pursuing the Heavenly Departing True Monarch.
