Hunting Immortals and Demons

Hu hu hu...

Above The sky’s Vault, in the dark expanse, endless energy converged toward the Tao One Law River.

The Tao One Law River was visibly becoming thicker and wider at a rapid pace.

The ’water’ in the Magic River swelled and thickened.

Moreover, powerful yet pure energies entered Lu Yan’s body through the Magic River.

Lu Yan’s body and Primordial Spirit underwent drastic transformations.

Naturally, the change in Lu Yan did not escape the senses of the two powerhouses from the Light Clan and Immortal Clan, and the face of the one from the Immortal Clan, who resembled a crocodile, changed drastically.

"This kid, he’s about to break through to the Creator Realm, he must not be left alive, kill him,"

The Immortal Clan powerhouse roared angrily as a claw rapidly enlarged and reached out towards Lu Yan.

He was a genuine second-step Creator Realm powerhouse, and the first to materialize was this claw. The reality of this claw had reached a hundred percent fidelity, invincible and extremely terrifying.

The gigantic claw, blotting out the sun, engulfed everything, leaving no escape. It caught Lu Yan in an instant and then, with a fierce clench, attempted to crush Lu Yan to pieces.

But at this moment, above The sky’s Vault, the Tao One Law River shone brilliantly, like a divine dragon swooping downwards, encircling Lu Yan.

This was not the Magic Long River Phantom, but the real Magic River, with defense so astonishing that it instantly stopped the Immortal Clan powerhouse’s claw from reaching Lu Yan.

"You..."

The shock on the face of the Immortal Clan powerhouse intensified.

They had long heard of Zhang Wei’s exceptional talent and combat prowess, stronger even than Yuan Tiandao.

But exactly how strong Yuan Tiandao was, they had no concept, and naturally, they had no concept of Lu Yan’s combat power either.

They believed that someone at the Tao Realm, no matter how strong, could not be too exaggeratedly powerful, and it would be difficult to cross such a significant realm and battle against someone in the Creator Realm, let alone the second step of the Creator Realm.

It wasn’t until they actually clashed that they truly understood how terrifying the combat power of such a heaven-defying genius was, completely beyond normal understanding.

"Explode for me."

The Immortal Clan powerhouse howled, unleashing his power to the extreme, with blue veins on his arm bulging and scales vibrating continuously.

Sizzling...

The Magic River surrounding Lu Yan emitted fierce roaring sounds, transmitting strange noises and evidently experiencing tremendous pressure as its range slowly shrank.

Whoosh!

The Light Clan powerhouse appeared above Lu Yan’s head, unleashing a terrifying beam of light aimed at Lu Yan’s crown.

Lu Yan’s hand thrust upwards, a blade light bursting forth, blocking the Light Clan powerhouse’s attack.

As both adversaries attacked simultaneously, the transformation of his body continued.

Within his Dantian, a world rapidly evolved.

His body and soul underwent rapid transformations, becoming even stronger and more resilient.

"Soul Heaven Calming Chaos Skill."

With a thought, his eyes opened and closed, and two soul battle blades burst from his eyes, slashing towards the Light Clan powerhouse.

The Light Clan powerhouse retreated with a scream; a crack formed in the Primordial Spirit within his Sea of Consciousness, sustaining heavy damage.

Crackling...

Just then, the nearby space tore apart, and three figures emerged, emanating powerful auras.

Lu Yan’s pupils constricted.

All were from the Creator Realm.

And these three were not from the Dragon Alliance; for instance, one of them had a divine halo floating behind the head.

A person from the Divine Clan.

Needless to say, they were in league with the Immortal Clan and Light Clan.

"What’s happening?"

The leader, from the Divine Clan, with an exceptionally strong and terrifying aura, was also a second-step Creator Realm powerhouse.

"This kid is Zhang Wei. He’s from the Dragon Alliance and is on the verge of breaking through the Creator Realm. Let’s join forces and kill him before he succeeds,"

The Ancestral Crocodile bellowed.

"What, Zhang Wei?"

The three newcomers were shocked, utterly astonished.

"Divine Spear of Sanctity."

The Divine Clan’s second-step Creator Realm expert reacted quickly, suppressing his shock. He flashed above Lu Yan, formed a long spear shining with divine light in his palm, and aimed it through the crocodile’s maw at Lu Yan’s head as he plunged it down.

"Soul Heaven Calming Chaos Skill."

Once again, Lu Yan launched a Soul Attack.

But this Divine Clan powerhouse had too high a Cultivation Level and a high degree of materialization; the gap between him and Lu Yan was too large. The Soul Attack only caused a slight delay in his attack before it continued towards Lu Yan’s head.

However, during that brief moment of delay, Lu Yan had already fully activated the Desolate Ancient Seven Extermination Blade, striking upwards at the Divine Spear of Sanctity.

With a loud boom, the Desolate Ancient Seven Extermination Blade trembled violently, retreating downwards and returning to Lu Yan’s hand.

Nevertheless, Lu Yan managed to block the attack with the formidable might of a Supreme Treasure.

But the Immortal Clan Crocodile took advantage of Lu Yan’s distraction to exert fierce power.

Bang bang bang...

The Magic River surrounding him trembled continuously, and certain areas exploded over and over, reducing its range once more to less than half a meter from Lu Yan’s body.

"Kill!"

The Divine Clan powerhouse, brandishing the long spear, struck at Lu Yan again.

"Open for me..."

Lu Yan’s eyes shone brilliantly, like two beams of light piercing The sky’s Vault.

Boom!

His aura erupted like a volcano, surging upward.

The Magic Long River Phantom that surrounded him also suddenly shone brightly, rotating non-stop like a divine dragon. The torrential river water slammed against the claws of the Ancestral Crocodile, forcibly prying them open.

At this moment, the world within Lu Yan’s body had finally evolved to completion, transforming into a vast landscape of mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, with everything that one could expect.

He had officially broken through to the Creator Realm with endless power gushing from the world within his body, spreading through his entire being.

He felt an inexhaustible strength throughout his body.

"Man perishes, Earth withers, Sky cleaves."

Lu Yan let out a long howl and delivered three successive cuts.

The sword light, filled with the aura of death, pervaded the heavens and earth, sweeping in all directions.

Spurt!

The claws of the Immortal Clan Crocodile were almost severed, bleeding profusely as it hurriedly retracted them.

The strong from the Divine Clan were specifically targeted, with two consecutive blade lights slashing at him, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

At this time, Lu Yan’s hands and feet glowed dazzlingly, as if they contained four suns.

The transformation of his hands and feet continued.

Twelve true patterns shone brightly, winding around his flesh and soul like meridian channels, causing Lu Yan’s hands and feet to transform towards a state of returning to the original simplicity.

Back in the True Meteor Realm, during the battle with Yuan Tiandao, with the help of the All Things Furnace’s tempering, Lu Yan had merged nine kinds of magic and further advanced the real nature of his hands and feet.

After the magic "Ninety-Nine to Unity", yet another step was taken towards true nature; his hands and feet, the degree of true real nature was incredibly high, closing in on one hundred percent.

However, due to the limitation of his cultivation level, unless he had broken through to the first step of creation, his limbs could not be fully realized in true nature.

Typically, the Cultivation of the Creator Realm needs to be done progressively.

Beings at the Pinnacle of the Great Tao try to comprehend the mysteries of creation, and once they fully understand, they can step into the first step of creation.

Once the cultivation level reaches the first step of creation, they can seek out the true patterns and merge them into a specific part of the body, using the true patterns to continually temper and realize the true nature of that part.

When the true nature of that part reaches one hundred percent, they step into the second step of creation.

After stepping into the second step of creation, they use the one-hundred-percent true nature of that part as the core to spread to other parts of the body, realizing true nature in other areas as well.

The higher the degree of true nature, the stronger the strength.

Once the whole body reaches one hundred percent true nature, they step into the third step of creation.

But Lu Yan’s situation was special. His physical body was incredibly strong, and because of his Cultivation of the Five Elements True Body, he had merged the true patterns into his body early on, and there were twelve of them.

During the cultivation of the Five Elements True Body, his hands and feet were constantly becoming more truly natured.

This meant that while he was in the Tao Realm, he started walking the path that others only take on the first step of creation, a step ahead of others and, by a fortunate coincidence, cultivating to a certain extreme.

When he broke through to the Creator Realm, it was as if he was simultaneously taking the first and second steps of creation. The restriction that had previously prevented any further real nature progress in his limbs due to his cultivation level disappeared.

His hands and feet were rapidly approaching one hundred percent true nature.

"He’s just broken through. His cultivation level is unstable. Let’s join forces to kill him," the Immortal Clan Crocodile roared, conjuring a Supreme Treasure that turned into a crocodile larger than a mountain and pounced towards Lu Yan.

The strong ones from the Divine Clan also went all out. The halo behind their heads shone brilliantly, with layer upon layer lighting up. The energy of heaven and earth was absorbed by the halo, enhancing their strength.

The other three at the Creator Realm also unleashed their killing moves, attacking Lu Yan.

"Come on."

Lu Yan was brimming with the will to fight, holding the Desolate Ancient Seven Extermination Blade in hand, as powerful forces continuously poured into the blade.

In the Tao Realm, he couldn’t truly stimulate a Supreme Treasure to unleash its full might.

But in the Creator Realm, it was different.

Although he still couldn’t match the full might of a Supreme Treasure in the first step of creation, the difference compared to the Tao Realm was like that between heaven and earth.

Massive blade lights burst forth with terrifying power, causing the three beings at the first step of creation to sense a lethal crisis, not daring to confront it head-on and instead, having to retreat to a distance to defend.

Only the two strong ones at the second step of creation could withstand Lu Yan’s attacks and counterattack.

They eyed Lu Yan’s Desolate Ancient Seven Extermination Blade greedily.

In the Origin Continent or the boundless starry sky, only those at the third step of creation could wield a Supreme Treasure.

Even some at the third step of creation did not possess a Supreme Treasure.

Supreme Treasures were too scarce.

Too many predators for too little prey. There were too many strong ones and not enough to go around—how could it be their turn, those at the second step of creation?

Boom boom boom...

The two sides clashed for dozens of moves in a short time.

Lu Yan fought more and more courageously and grew stronger with battle, increasingly chilling his adversaries.

"This kid is too monstrously talented. It’s better for us to retreat for now. We will spread the news that he is Zhang Wei and summon more people to kill him," the Immortal Clan Crocodile transmitted a message to the others.

"Right, let’s go," the strong one from the Divine Clan also said.

As for those three at the first step of creation, they had wanted to leave long ago.

Facing Lu Yan in battle, they felt as if they were walking on the edge of death, terror-stricken, and had wanted to leave for some time.

Boom boom boom...

After a few more exchanges of moves, the Immortal Clan Crocodile and the strong ones from the Divine Clan swiftly retreated.

"Want to leave?"

Coldness shot from Lu Yan’s eyes, and from his brow suddenly flew a Soul Attack blade.
