Undying Life

Chapter 693: Chapter 693: The Sharp Zhong Shan

"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!" The fortune golden dragon echoed with a thunderous roar.

The entire dragon body suddenly grew more than twice its original size, radiating an intense golden light. The immense aura caused the surrounding formation to expand, pushing countless sword energies outward.

Golden light pierced in all directions, even breaking through the Zhu Xian Sword Formation from the south.

"That's the light of fortune! The Zhu Xian Sword Formation can't subdue the Lingxiao Heavenly Court?" a powerful voice exclaimed.

"Da Qin Empire? Is it truly so strong? If it's this powerful as an empire, what will it be like when it becomes a heavenly dynasty—invincible?"

"I must participate in the next Da Qin imperial examination!"

Countless strong individuals discussed fervently. Meanwhile, inside the formation, the golden dragon of fortune descended from the sky.

Even without the fortune golden dragon, the sea of fortune alone was enough to support Da Qin in resisting the Zhu Xian Sword Formation! The immense fortune golden dragon descended directly toward Zhong Shan.

Seeing this, Shen Ya Daojun's pupils contracted.

"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

With another dragon roar, the massive fortune golden dragon shrank rapidly and entered Zhong Shan's body. Instantly, Zhong Shan was enveloped in endless golden light, making him resemble a giant sun.

Above the golden light, a colossal dragon head gradually appeared, the head of the nineteen-clawed fortune golden dragon, surveying the world with imperial majesty. A vast emperor's aura radiated into the hearts of all subjects.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

The subjects suddenly knelt, shouting their praises in unison.

"A true dragon protecting him?" Nü Qinghui raised an eyebrow.

"Shen Ya Daojun, what do we do now? Zhong Shan is protected by a true dragon. Da Qin reportedly has other celestial realm experts, and the Zhu Xian Sword Formation can't deal with him. He also has Emperor Xian. We're only three people now. What do we do?" Toad Lai asked anxiously.

"The Zhu Xian Sword Formation is meaningless now!" Nü Qinghui nodded.

"Withdraw the Zhu Xian Sword Formation and follow me to kill Zhong Shan!" Shen Ya Daojun commanded.

Shen Ya Daojun's voice echoed through the formation, ensuring that even across tens of thousands of miles, the other three celestial realm experts could hear him.

This command also reached those outside the sword formation.

"Withdraw the Zhu Xian Sword Formation? Does that mean the Zhu Xian Sword Formation from the Longevity Realm also can't deal with Zhong Shan?" People speculated.

In front of the Longevity Hall, Zhong Shan, protected by the true dragon, said in a deep voice, "Emperor Xian, begin the slaughter!"

"Yes!" Emperor Xian nodded.

At the moment Zhong Shan spoke, Shen Ya Daojun realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, as the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was being withdrawn, Emperor Xian vanished from the front of the Longevity Hall.

"Damn!" Shen Ya Daojun's eyes narrowed.

In an instant, the Decapitating Immortal Gourd unleashed its power again. A beam of white light shot from the gourd with unstoppable force, heading straight for Zhong Shan.

In Shen Ya Daojun's view, his decapitating blade was unbeatable, especially when he chanted the incantation. Two months ago, not even Emperor Xian could block it. Who could stop it? Zhong Shan certainly couldn't. If Emperor Xian went to kill his comrades from the Longevity Realm, he would have no choice but to save Zhong Shan!

Alas, the world is full of unexpected twists and turns. Emperor Xuan Sha did not return as anticipated. Instead of evading, Zhong Shan sprang forward, rushing headlong towards the Celestial Slayer Flying Blade.

Seeing Zhong Shan charge towards the deadly blade, Daoist Crow instinctively sensed something was amiss. However, unable to pinpoint the problem, a flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes. "If you wish to die, then die you shall!"

In an instant, the Celestial Slayer Flying Blade reached Zhong Shan, speeding towards him like a streak of light, leaving a trail of spatial rupture in its wake.

As it neared Zhong Shan, Daoist Crow stared intently, confusion flickering in his eyes. What is he trying to do?

"Swish~~~!"

The blade was upon Zhong Shan, too close to dodge, no escape possible. The protective golden dragon of fortune did not seem to react defensively. The ominous feeling in Daoist Crow's heart grew stronger. Despite his confusion, it was too late—the Celestial Slayer Flying Blade had reached Zhong Shan, aiming straight for his forehead.

"Swish!"

A bizarre sound echoed in Zhong Shan's mind. Everyone watched in stunned silence.

The toad Lei widened his eyes and gaped, searching for the blade. Where did it go?

The long spatial rupture quickly mended itself, but the seven-inch-long Celestial Slayer Flying Blade had vanished. It was nowhere to be seen.

Daoist Crow's face turned red with frustration. He stared at Zhong Shan, clutching his gourd, unable to comprehend what had just happened. Where did the blade go? Why couldn't he sense it anymore?

"Boom~~~!"

The Four Swords of Immortal Execution retracted abruptly, and the three towering swords disappeared without a trace.

"The Four Swords of Immortal Execution have withdrawn!" countless powerful cultivators outside exclaimed, their voices filled with excitement at this dramatic turn of events.

"Go, kill Zhong Shan with me!" Daoist Crow shouted urgently to the two nearby Celestial Realm experts.

"Yes!" Nü Qinghui and the toad Lei responded in unison.

Daoist Crow was anxious. The sudden disappearance of the Celestial Slayer Flying Blade filled him with unease. He had to kill Zhong Shan quickly.

Suddenly, another flash of white light shot out from the gourd.

"Another Celestial Slayer Flying Blade?" Zhong Shan paused, then quickly flew away from the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, soaring high into the sky.

"Boom~~~!"

The new Celestial Slayer Flying Blade shattered the defenses of the Southern Heaven Gate. Three unparalleled experts darted inside, followed by Daoist Crow and another figure in green who had just returned from dismantling the formation—a Celestial Realm expert.

The four Celestial Realm experts pursued Zhong Shan, yet the other two experts from the Longevity Realm did not appear for reasons unknown.

In no time, Daoist Crow and the three experts cornered Zhong Shan high in the sky. By now, Zhong Shan and his companions had broken through the great formation of the Lingxiao Heavenly Court and ascended even higher.

Emperor Xuan Sha was still nowhere to be seen.

Around Zhong Shan, golden light erupted. The protective golden dragon projected a massive golden dragon phantom, enveloping Zhong Shan and providing the strongest protection.

"Where is my Celestial Slayer Flying Blade?" Daoist Crow roared in fury.

In his fury, Daoist Crow's gourd abruptly opened wide, releasing three more blades. Two were identical to the white Celestial Slayer Flying Blade that had vanished before Zhong Shan, but the third was a dazzling seven-colored blade. This multicolored blade, adorned with a pair of eyes glaring straight at Zhong Shan, seemed like a monarch, with the two white blades submitting to it.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Zhong Shan sneered.

"Boom~~~!" A sudden explosion echoed from the Eastern Heaven Gate.

"Ah~~~!" A scream followed, indicating that one of the green-clad figures had fallen to Emperor Xuan Sha.

A flash of purple light streaked across the sky, heading towards the Northern Heaven Gate.

"Not good, Emperor Xuan Sha has killed him?" the toad Lei exclaimed in shock.

Everything became extremely urgent. Daoist Crow could no longer hold back, and the three Celestial Slayer Flying Blades shot towards Zhong Shan.

"Turn around, my treasures!" Zhong Shan commanded.

In an instant, the terrifying blades reached Zhong Shan.

"Chomp!"

A gigantic mouth suddenly appeared in front of Zhong Shan, swallowing the incoming blades. Unfortunately, the seven-colored blade reacted too quickly, retreating along with one of the white blades. Even so, one white blade was devoured.

A massive eight-tailed beast suddenly appeared before everyone, filling their eyes with astonishment. The eight enormous tails lashed out rapidly, aiming for the Celestial Realm experts, but their speed was simply too great for the tails to catch.

"Attack together!" Daoist Crow commanded coldly.

With a wave of his hand, the Celestial Slayer Flying Blades sliced towards the eight-tailed beast again. This time, the blades didn't target the mouth but aimed to cut the enormous tails instead.

The Celestial Slayer Flying Blades were known for being indestructible and unstoppable. Never before had they suffered such a setback as being eaten by a monster.

Though the eight-tailed beast was powerful, it was no match for the speed of the Celestial Slayer Flying Blades. The seven-colored blade aimed for the purple tail, while the white blade targeted Zhong Shan's forehead. Another Celestial Realm expert wielded the Immortal Binding Sword, slashing towards Zhong Shan, and the toad Lei spat out a thick, ink-like mist. Nü Qinghui, seizing an opportunity, shot a blue beam from her hand.

In an instant, Daoist Crow turned angrily to glare at Nü Qinghui, for her blue beam wasn't aimed at Zhong Shan but at the golden dragon phantom's head. What was she aiming at the dragon for?

"Chirp~~~!"

Feeling the threat from the seven-colored Celestial Slayer Flying Blade, the eight-tailed beast let out a terrified screech.

In a blink, the eight-tailed beast vanished!

Yes, it disappeared in an instant. Though it was not fast, it was linked to Zhong Shan's core consciousness, capable of retreating into his body in an instant.

However, two attacks remained—a strike from the Immortal Binding Sword and the white Celestial Slayer Flying Blade—both aimed directly at Zhong Shan.

At this critical moment, Zhong Shan ignored the toad Lei's poison and Nü Qinghui's blue light aimed at the dragon's head. He also paid no mind to the Immortal Binding Sword's shattering strike. Instead, he drew out his Nightmare Greatsword and swung it fiercely at the Celestial Slayer Flying Blade.

He activated his sixth level of Heavenly Demon Tempering Body Art and unleashed the power of the True Dragon's Qi, channeling all his strength into his attack.

It was just as the eight-tailed beast retreated back into his body, too late to reemerge. The powerful clash between Zhong Shan and the Celestial Slayer Flying Blade ensued.

"Boom~~~!"

The explosive impact sent tremors through all the Celestial Realm experts present. The Immortal Binding Sword was intercepted, not by Zhong Shan, but by a massive pearl that suddenly appeared on the golden dragon phantom's claw. It was the Dark Emperor's treasure, the Star Pearl, one of the ancient twelve great treasures.

The Star Pearl and the Immortal Binding Sword clashed with equal might, although this balance was merely an illusion. The Star Pearl was sent flying, and the force of the Immortal Binding Sword was fully repelled.

Old strength exhausted, new strength not yet risen!

Zhong Shan's strike collided with the white Celestial Slayer Flying Blade. The Nightmare Greatsword shattered into fragments, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood gushed out.

Even the True Dragon's Qi wavered, threatening to shatter at any moment.

However, he managed to stop the Celestial Slayer Flying Blade, which halted an inch from his forehead, unable to advance further.

"Return, my treasure...!" Daoist Crow began to command in anger, but his expression changed. The Celestial Slayer Flying Blade retreated swiftly, as he sensed the presence of the eight-tailed beast again.

Indeed, just as the blade retreated, the nightmarish voice echoed once more, "Chomp!" But the eight-tailed beast devoured nothing.

At this point, the toad Lei's black poison cloud enveloped Zhong Shan. However, the True Dragon's Qi prevented the poison from entering his body. Only Nü Qinghui's blue light was effective, disappearing into the golden dragon's forehead, making Zhong Shan feel something enter his body, though he couldn't locate it.

The previous complex engagement seemed intricate but occurred in mere moments.

Zhong Shan had defended successfully. He smiled, confident that if he could block once, he could block again!

"Citizens of the Great Zong Empire, heed my command, raise your right hands!" Zhong Shan's voice rang out powerfully.

Through the transmission of fortune, his command echoed across the Great Zong Empire. Citizens in all cities heard his voice.

Most of them obeyed, raising their right hands and suddenly feeling drained.

Zhong Shan merged with the golden dragon of fortune, his body expanding rapidly.

In an instant, he became a thousand-zhang giant!

The massive Zhong Shan, empowered by the golden dragon's fortune, radiated an overwhelming True Dragon's Qi, pressing against the Celestial Realm experts.

"Ah~~~!"

Another scream echoed from the north, a black light shooting towards the sky, reflecting with the purple light.

"Emperor Xuan Sha has killed another?" the toad Lei exclaimed in shock.

Two Longevity Realm experts slain, the Immortal Execution Sword and Absolute Immortal Sword seized? Was Emperor Xuan Sha truly this formidable?

"Finish this quickly!" Daoist Crow shouted in fury.

At this moment, without the Star Pearl and lacking a weapon, what could Zhong Shan do?

"Turn around, my treasure!" Daoist Crow roared angrily.

Once again, the Immortal Binding Sword slashed towards Zhong Shan.
