Chapter 518: Slaying Immortals, the Tournament Begins
The untouched threshold for many years, in this instant, showed fluctuations, making Chu Zheng understand the reason in a moment.
A Qi Cultivator, after all, is not a path that can be cultivated through seclusion; he still needs the grinding of tribulations.
Now that the Tribulation Qi is absent, he needs to find the opportunity to undergo tribulation himself, which means... initiating it actively.
Chu Zheng slowly raised his head, looking at the figure in the sky wrapped in dazzling Immortal Light, the War Blood in his body, long dormant, began to boil again:
"The Qi Refining Lineage, Zheng Chu, comes here to seek instruction, I hope you won't hesitate to teach."
"You are only at Seventh Order Perfection, and yet you want to slay an Immortal?"
The True Immortal standing mid-air suddenly turned cold, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He didn't rush to make a move, but raised his hand to take out a Jade Page, throwing it in front of Chu Zheng:
"Sign the Life and Death Contract, lest you die here, and your elders come looking, causing further trouble."
The implication was clear; this wasn't a practice bout but a fight to the death.
A name was already signed on the Life and Death Contract, Jin Xu.
Chu Zheng's fingertip exuded a drop of crimson blood, merging into his own Vital Qi, using blood as ink, he signed the two words Zheng Chu on the Life and Death Contract.
Once the blood words settled, they instantly merged into the Jade Page, turning into a fierce blood trail.
At the moment Chu Zheng signed his name, the True Immortal known as Jin Xu's eyes suddenly focused, not wasting any words, he lightly pressed down with his palm towards the place where Chu Zheng stood, indifference written in his eyes.
As this palm descended, the color of the sky and earth abruptly changed.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, the vast life force of heaven and earth was grasped by an invisible giant hand, madly surging into the Hand Seal, especially the wood-elemental essence of the heavens, which was violently active like never before, turning into a huge azure palm, condensed to the point of reality!
The palm lines were clear like the rings of an Ancient Wood, exuding a boundless and endless life aura, yet within this aura was the suffocating presence of destruction.
The azure palm covered the sky, blocking out the sun, surrounding the Hand Seal with countless blazing and violent azure lightning bolts spontaneously born, like billions of thunder serpents roaring and raging.
The Thunder Light was dazzling, illuminating the mountains and rivers over a hundred thousand miles in a cruel azure hue, the destructive pressure like a substantive tsunami crushing down first, below the mountains and forests silently turning to dust, the earth cracking open.
A True Immortal's casual actions could pluck stars and capture moons, and the power of this palm strike seemed like Jin Xu intended a sure kill, giving Chu Zheng no chance at all.
Facing this heaven-destroying palm, Chu Zheng seemed unaware, slowly raising his head, his gaze penetrating the turbulent Spiritual Energy, locking onto the figure in the sky wrapped in dazzling Immortal Light.
He exhaled lightly, without even activating Divine Skills. At the moment the azure palm was about to press down, he directly raised his hand, bringing his fingers together like a sword, at the fingertip, a dizzyingly complex illusory Talismatic Pattern suddenly lit up, bursting with dazzling golden light!
"Break!"
The Law Breaking rune at Chu Zheng's fingertip, born from years of painstaking cultivation and comprehension, specifically to counter Immortal Dao Power, broke free like a golden lightning bolt, flying out in an instant.
At the moment the golden rune touched the enormous azure Hand Seal, an unusual sound suddenly exploded.
Sizzle—
The enormous azure palm, which had gathered the life force of thousands of miles of flora and violent lightning, suddenly halted, and then the wood-elemental immortal power and the violent lightning composing the Hand Seal instantly disintegrated, its fundamental energy structure suffered irreversible destruction!
Wherever the golden rune passed, the azure Hand Seal silently melted away like snow in the sun, disintegrating rapidly, turning to void in the blink of an eye.
The whole process was unimaginably fast; almost the moment the golden rune flashed through, the terrifying Hand Seal that covered the sky was torn open with a huge hole, revealing Jin Xu's face filled with astonishment.
Jin Xu's pupils narrowed suddenly, feeling in that split second that the immortal power he had cultivated for thousands of years, vast and pure, upon contact with the golden rune, melted away like snow in boiling water.
There was even a backlash, surging along the connection of immortal power, impacting his Immortal Essence, causing a momentary clog in the originally smooth flow of immortal power.
What kind of Divine Secret Skill is this?!
At the moment his mind was in tumult, Chu Zheng had already made his move.
Not missing this fleeting battle opportunity, he shot into the sky, the Law Breaking rune enveloping his entire body, like a sharp arrow, piercing straight towards Jin Xu's chest.
In one round, having shown a disadvantage, Jin Xu's eyes flashed with fury, killing intent boiling in his eyes, without hesitation, a radiance flashed from his brow, summoning an Immortal Treasure.
It was a War Spear, its body flowing with multicolored light, entwined with dazzling Immortal Patterns, stabbing head-on towards Chu Zheng.
Before the spearhead arrived, the Immortal Light traversed ten thousand miles, the Void instantly cracking, spreading endless fissures.
Chu Zheng did not dodge in the slightest, raising a fist to engage directly!
The Law Breaking rune, surrounded by dazzling golden light, directly met the spearhead.
Crunch—
At the moment of contact, blinding golden light exploded at the pinnacle of the sky; the Immortal Pattern Array on the War Spear couldn't withstand even a single breath before shattering inch by inch, dissolving completely from its foundation!
Amidst sharp and ear-piercing clanging, the entire War Spear was shattered by Chu Zheng in an instant, breaking into countless pieces, scattering across the four directions, creating countless dazzling trails.
Even under absolute suppression of realms, Chu Zheng still received significant impact, his body violently shook, Qi and blood surging.
Crack!
From deep within his body came a crisp sound that only Chu Zheng himself could clearly hear, like the crack of spring thunder, echoing clearly throughout his limbs and bones.
