Chapter 280 Blood Kun, Thunder God, Cycle of Life and Death
The sky returned to blue, but the echoing bells deep in their souls and the terrifying fluctuations faintly emanating from the starry sky were etched into everyone's perception like a brand, telling the story of the earth-shattering duel that had just taken place, a duel beyond mortal imagination.
Soon, the brief pause on the sea was broken.
The monarch-level sea spirit seemed even more agitated by what had happened earlier, letting out a hiss containing the meaning of an ancient curse. Its body erupted with dark blue divine power, stirring up a huge wave, and it once again pounced on Professor Xu.
This time, however, he clearly changed his strategy. His massive body stirred up the deep-sea currents, and he fought and retreated, intentionally dragging the battlefield toward the deeper and darker areas of the deep sea.
The seawater pressed down like a thick curtain, layer upon layer, quickly dimming the light and causing the water pressure to rise sharply.
For ordinary cultivators, this is undoubtedly an extremely disadvantageous battlefield.
However, Professor Xu's aura of indestructible light did not diminish but rather intensified, like an inextinguishable golden lamp lit in the deep sea!
"Hmph! You think you can trap me with mere water pressure and undercurrents? Take this punch!" Professor Xu's voice was still clearly audible even under the immense pressure of the seawater.
His punches not only didn't decrease but increased, his Vajra Subduing Demon Fist intent condensed to its extreme. Each punch was like detonating a sun in the deep sea. The violent fist energy forcibly pushed aside the thick seawater, creating a brief vacuum zone. The scorching golden light burned the divine power shield of the monarch-level sea spirit, making a "mouth" sound.
His attacks remained as fierce and powerful as ever, full of aesthetic beauty, creating a stark contrast with the deep and oppressive environment of the deep sea.
As the battleground between the two powerful forces shifted to the deep sea, the pressure on the surface of the ocean decreased sharply, but the crisis was not over.
The boundless Sea Spirit Clan warriors, as if receiving a command, let out sharp shrieks and, like a black tide, launched a fearless charge towards the isolated and helpless "Dingyuan" and the American patrol fleet.
"Fire! Fire at full power!" the US fleet commander roared.
In the blink of an eye, the ship's cannons roared, missiles streaked into the sky, and dense laser beams swept across the sea like the Grim Reaper's scythe. Large numbers of Sea Spirit warriors were blasted into pieces or evaporated by lasers under the saturation bombardment of modern weapons, and the azure seawater was quickly dyed into an eerie blue-green.
However, the core strength of the Sea Spirit Clan is not these cannon fodder.
Several exceptionally powerful auras surged into the sky from the Sea Spirit Clan's formation. They were much larger, their scales shimmering with a metallic luster, and the weapons they held were also surrounded by powerful energy fluctuations.
These are all Sea Spirit Clan leaders at the Outer Realm level, with several of them being powerful beings who have reached the late Outer Realm stage.
They withstood the dense laser barrage, their shields fluctuating violently, yet remained unbroken.
When laser beams strike the surface, they only create ripples and cannot truly penetrate the defenses.
Their objective was clear: to break through the enemy's firepower and destroy the "Dingyuan"!
Seeing the critical situation, the American fleet seemed to have made a decision.
The flagship accelerated towards the "Dingyuan," while the white commander's urgent and "sincere" voice came through the public channel:
"Li, the situation is critical! Please allow us to board the ship and fight these monsters together. We must concentrate our forces!"
On the "Dingyuan", the first mate in charge of steering the ship looked at Li Xijun.
Li Xijun's gaze was calm, and a barely perceptible smile seemed to curve at the corners of her lips as she nodded.
Soon, the American flagship docked with the "Dingyuan".
The white commander, along with several "elite" soldiers and the Chinese-American adjutant, quickly boarded the deck of the "Dingyuan".
But the moment he stepped onto the deck, another change occurred!
The white commander's "anxiety" instantly turned into ferocity and fanaticism, and a powerful aura of mid-stage exterior realm cultivators suddenly erupted.
A Thor's warhammer, crackling with blinding lightning and shaped like a twisted object, appeared in his hand at some unknown time. The warhammer was surging with violent lightning intent, crackling loudly, and with the momentum of destroying everything, it slammed down on Li Xijun, who was only inches away.
"For the glory of Lord Thor! Die!"
He roared, using the Thunder God Hammer Technique, which Li Xijun had witnessed in the Nine-Story Demon Tower and which belonged to the Anagad God Clan's Thunder God Garnard.
This person is undoubtedly a spy from the Anagardian race, lurking within the human army.
At the same time, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Chinese adjutant who had always appeared calm and professional, and an even more powerful aura, reaching the level of post-production location shooting, soared into the sky.
He did not attack the white commander; instead, he shouted with an air of righteous indignation:
"Protect the genius Li Xijun! Quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, he pointed his fingers like a knife, and a strange longsword, formed entirely from viscous, scarlet blood, carrying a poisonous aura that corroded the soul and corrupted spiritual power, silently pierced towards Li Xijun's back.
However, facing this seemingly hopeless assassination attempt from both sides, Li Xijun simply laughed.
Just as Thor's hammer and the blood sword were about to strike, he vanished without warning.
This is precisely the spatial teleportation ability of the [Vacuum Homeland].
The next moment, he appeared on the other side of the deck, several feet away, watching the two men with a leisurely air. His gaze first fell on the Chinese-American adjutant, with a hint of mockery:
"I've seen a spy from the gods."
"And what about you? With that righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, which evil god do you worship?"
When the Chinese adjutant saw that the sneak attack had failed, the feigned friendliness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an almost fanatical devotion and fervor.
He licked his lips, the crimson blood sword flickering uncertainly in his hand:
"What an extraordinary method. Li Xijun, you have good judgment. I am an elder of the Blood God Sect, serving the great emperor-level being who controls the Crimson Origin Sea."
He opened his other hand, and a pulsating blood egg, radiating a rich life force and an eerie aura, appeared in his palm.
"I was just showing you my talent. That sword strike wasn't meant to kill you, but to lure you into my Holy Cult and share the secret of immortality."
"This is the Seed of the Blood God. If you consume it, I will kill this lackey of the Thunder God for you! If you refuse," he said, his tone turning cold and murderous, "I will have no choice but to go with him and send you on your way!"
He was full of confidence and had a very clever plan.
Judging from Li Xijun's current demeanor, she is not a strong external cultivator.
He himself was at the late stage of the Outer Realm, while the white commander was at the mid stage. The two Outer Realm experts working together were enough to kill any martial artist at the Intent Realm in an instant!
Even if the opponent is the world's number one genius in this competition, there is no chance of survival.
Upon hearing this, Li Xijun couldn't help but smile.
"Unexpectedly, the fishing trip, which was done just to be on the safe side, actually turned out to be a success."
"However, America is truly full of talent. A small fleet actually has spies from both the Blood God Cult and the Anagard God Clan."
Li Xijun's undisguised teasing made the two people opposite him increasingly embarrassed and impatient.
Just as the Blood God Cult elder on the other side couldn't help but confirm again...
"How about this... surrender and you might save your lives."
Li Xijun's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Arrogant!"
"court death!"
Seeing Li Xijun's "lack of appreciation," the Chinese adjutant and the white commander immediately reached an agreement to resolve the matter quickly to avoid any complications.
The two held nothing back, unleashing their powerful auras at an outdoor level, causing violent fluctuations in the surrounding天地 (heaven and earth) energy.
The white commander roared, and Thor's hammer unleashed a torrent of lightning, transforming into a violent pillar of lightning several meters in diameter, which slammed towards Li Xijun.
The Chinese adjutant shrieked, and his blood sword split into countless forms, like a filthy river of blood, carrying a malevolent law that erodes all things and devours life, sweeping towards Li Xijun from all directions.
The two powerful beings at the outer realm joined forces to unleash a deadly attack, the power of which was indeed enough to instantly kill any being below the outer realm.
However, faced with this overwhelming offensive, Li Xijun simply took a step forward.
The next moment, a vast, profound, and majestic aura, seemingly resonating with the stars in the heavens, erupted from his body like a sleeping deity awakening.
Exterior view!
He is not a martial artist of the realm of intent, but a being who has truly stepped into the realm of external scenery.
"You two, your martial arts skills are pretty crude."
Li Xijun, who had just killed someone like the Old Man of Dry Bones, couldn't help but shake his head and comment upon seeing this scene.
He didn't even bother to look at it again. Facing the incoming pillar of lightning and river of blood, he simply struck out with his palm once more.
Within the palm of his hand, the true essence of the Four Symbols flowed, with the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise harmonizing water and fire, and the Azure Dragon and White Tiger combining yin and yang, ultimately converging into the Four Symbols Seal that seemed capable of suppressing the primordial chaos and opening up the world.
The massive seal swept across the sky, ignoring elemental weaknesses and energy levels, carrying a crushing power from a higher dimension. With a gentle tremor, it produced a soft "poof!"
"Boom!"
That seemingly invincible pillar of lightning vanished like a bubble;
That filthy and malevolent river of blood evaporated and dissipated instantly, as if it had encountered its nemesis!
The Four Symbols Seal, its power undiminished, crashed down upon the two men, their faces filled with shock and disbelief, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.
"How is this possible—." The Chinese adjutant only had time to let out half a desperate roar before his body shattered into dust inch by inch under the power of the Four Symbols' destruction.
The white commander suffered the same fate; Thor's hammer wailed and flew out of his hand, and he vanished with it.
Both are outdoor scenes, but the two outdoor scenes in the main world, especially the outdoor martial artists who are likely to advance through the Blood God Cult and the God Clan's shortcut, are simply no match for someone like Li Xijun, who has a solid foundation and top-notch skills.
Li Xijun shook his head slightly, withdrew his hand, and commented in his heart: "Although they are both from the outer realm, these people from the main world are far inferior to their counterparts in the martial arts world in terms of martial arts comprehension and foundation. If the Old Man of Dry Bones had come here before, it would probably have only taken him two sword strikes to kill these two."
After Li Xijun killed the two men, revealing his own level of skill and martial arts prowess,
In a remote part of the South China Sea, in a small world where life and death coexist and the laws of flourishing and decay manifest.
A figure dressed in a simple blue robe, seemingly blending into the surrounding vegetation, was quietly taking in everything that was happening on the Pacific Ocean.
He nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his voice, and whispered:
"Indeed. They have forged their own path, and their foundation is far more solid than most."
"In this way, when I evolve the path of life and death and reincarnation for you in the future, I will not have to worry about you being affected by my path and laws."
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually raised his hand and plucked a leaf from an ancient tree beside him that was half-withered and half-grown, as if it had experienced countless reincarnations.
Half of the leaves were lush and vibrant, full of life; the other half were withered and broken, shrouded in deathly silence.
Mu Sheng flicked his finger.
"call out-"
That leaf, containing the ultimate truth of life, death, decay, and prosperity, transformed into an imperceptible stream of light, instantly breaking through the barriers of the small world, traversing most of the planet, ignoring space and distance.
One moment they were in the South China Sea, the next they were on the dark, deep seabed of the Pacific Ocean!
The beam of light, precise and silent, pierced the forehead of the monarch-level sea spirit who was engaged in a fierce battle with Professor Xu and wielding the power of the vast ocean.
The massive body of the monarch-level sea spirit suddenly stiffened, all its movements freezing instantly.
Its vertical pupils, filled with savagery and divine power, first reflected boundless vitality, as if witnessing the ultimate prosperity of life, with all things growing wildly. Then, that vitality rapidly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into utter desolation and decay, as if it had undergone the erosion of ten thousand years, with everything returning to dust.
Its scales, which had been shining dark gold, quickly turned gray and lost their luster, and then peeled off piece by piece like rocks weathered over millions of years.
Its strong muscles began to atrophy and dry up, and its massive skeleton creaked under the strain.
The surrounding seawater, stirred by its spiritual power, seemed to lose its vitality, becoming heavy and lifeless.
The entire process was silent and without a sound; there was no earth-shattering explosion, no deafening roar of clashing laws.
As if in an instant, it completed the entire process from birth to death. One second it was a monarch-level mythical creature that dominated the deep sea and could fight against Vajra Realm warriors. The next second, it turned into a huge skeleton that was slowly sinking into the deeper seabed. Only the spiral horn on its forehead still had a faint light that had not completely dissipated, representing its former power.
With a casual strike, the Martial Saint traversed half the globe and, in the deep sea, killed a monarch-level Sea Spirit!
Professor Xu stood with his fists clenched, looking at the shocking scene before him. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but gasp. He then solemnly cupped his hands in a certain direction in the void.
"Thank you for your help, Master Mu."
On the sea, as two traitors were instantly killed by Li Xijun, the remaining Sea Spirit Clan members were also turned into corpses in an instant. The remaining Sea Spirit Clan members lost their commander and high-end combat power, and immediately fell into chaos and began to scatter and flee.
The leaderless American fleet also ceased its attack, seemingly shaken by the series of unexpected events and不敢再出乱动 (daring not to make any further moves).
On the Dingyuan, Li Xijun felt the terrifying aura that was quietly dissipating from the depths of the sea and showed a hint of surprise. He had a general idea that another martial saint had made a move.
He looked up at the starry sky, where the aftershocks of the battle between the Holy Light and the God King seemed to have subsided.
"The Martial Saint...this is the Martial Saint..."
