Top enlightenment at 100 years old Chapter 647 - 631: Five-Colored Heaven-Covering Hand, Cultivation Unsealed (2)

"Hmm? Still alive?"

Surprise flickered across Ji Haoyuan’s features.

One had to realize he had unleashed almost sixty percent of his power moments ago.

Yet, surprisingly, these opponents managed to endure it till the end.

Truly deserving of their status as disciples supported by a mighty sect.

Nevertheless, his response appeared, in the view of Senior Brother Hua Zhen and Fairy Tianyan, as nothing less than blatant mockery.

Even the numerous onlookers of the clash felt a bit lost for words.

What did he mean by 'still alive'? Was that any way to phrase it?

Remember, standing before him were elite core disciples from a prestigious upper realm sect.

But to him, they seemed like...

Before the crowd could finish their musings, Ji Haoyuan’s voice echoed once more.

"Since you’re not dead, let’s continue."

As he spoke, his eyes sharpened abruptly.

His form soared upward suddenly.

Brilliant lightning erupted across his whole body in endless radiance.

With a thunderous boom.

One foot slammed downward.

Blinding thunderbolts flooded the vast emptiness instantly.

Resembling the fury of a heavenly tribulation, it promptly altered the countenances of Senior Brother Hua Zhen and Fairy Tianyan.

Especially considering the opponent's posture, it screamed pure contempt and insult toward them.

"Kill!"

In that instant, Fairy Tianyan’s gaze turned razor-sharp.

Her dark locks whipped wildly.

A horrifyingly immense force exploded from her voluptuous frame.

The halberd she gripped carved a savagely brutal path through the sky, splintering space bit by bit.

At last, her halberd morphed into a multicolored Jiao Long, charging at Ji Haoyuan’s plummeting lightning.

Simultaneously, nine divine rings ignited around Senior Brother Hua Zhen’s figure again.

Within them hovered a golden pagoda.

That was his life-bound Immortal Treasure.

It harbored the fearsome Nine-headed Golden Crow True Fire, able to incinerate all things.

"Screech!"

A piercing, mighty shriek tore through the heavens.

The instant after, those nine divine rings shifted into nine blazing Nine-headed Golden Crows wreathed in golden fire, hurtling toward Ji Haoyuan’s falling thunder.

Rumble!

A ferocious blast detonated mid-air.

Space and time appeared utterly ruptured in that moment.

Myriad chaotic torrents surged wildly nearby.

The realm brimmed with dreadfully potent laws erupting everywhere.

All spectators of the fight had their faces shift dramatically.

Such might, such techniques, far exceeded what typical immortals could muster.

If that power struck them...

Numerous watchers shuddered uncontrollably.

Yet amid this cataclysmic clash, a colossal thunder-wreathed foot pierced through the halberd strike and the Nine-headed Golden Crows.

With a heavy thud.

The final Divine Ruins immortal burst apart right there.

Body and soul annihilated completely.

Next, the lightning morphed into a vast net, swiftly trapping the halberd and Nine-headed Golden Crows entirely.

No amount of their thrashing or escape attempts succeeded.

Finally, Ji Haoyuan’s second foot descended.

With a resounding thud.

The halberd and Nine-headed Golden Crow quivered together.

Then they cracked apart piece by piece.

"What?"

The entire crowd stood dumbfounded.

Particularly the cultivators lingering in the Divine Ruins, who refused to believe it.

No one understood better than them the true prowess of Senior Brother Hua Zhen and Fairy Tianyan.

To put it mildly, at their present cultivation level—even restrained by this world’s laws—they could face a True Immortal without fear.

But now what?

Against Nanhua, they kept stumbling.

At this point, defeat loomed perilously close.

In truth.

Senior Brother Hua Zhen and Fairy Tianyan shared the same shock right then.

They had sorely misjudged Ji Haoyuan’s power.

Still, as core disciples of a supreme sect lineage, they were no novices.

In a flash, they steadied their minds.

Right away, they shared a look.

Without pause, each produced an item from their possession.

It was a talisman etched with myriad arcane designs.

Its surface crawled with intricate runes.

"What’s that? A ninth-rank sealing talisman!"

At the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, Fairy Yuehua, who had been admiring the duel, abruptly rose.

Her gaze filled with grave intensity.

Beside her, Luo Changsheng and the rest bowed politely to ask.

"Master Yuehua, does that ninth-rank sealing talisman seal...?"

"Exactly."

Fairy Yuehua affirmed with utmost seriousness.

"If I’m correct, that ninth-rank sealing talisman contains a segment of their cultivation base."

"A segment of their cultivation base?"

Luo Changsheng and the Spiritual Abyss Saint King felt their hearts quake.

They struggled to fathom the technique required to bind part of a True Immortal’s cultivation into a talisman.

Did this imply they planned to unleash the talisman and reclaim their sealed cultivation power?

Weren’t they worried about this realm’s suppressive rules?

As though reading their minds, Fairy Yuehua clarified:

"Unless I’m wrong, those two have lingered in this lower realm for a considerable period.

Theoretically speaking, they’ve already assimilated a fragment of this world’s laws.

Thus, activating the ninth-rank sealing talisman to recover some cultivation—even hitting their pre-descent peak—

ought to pose little issue in the immediate term."

Fairy Yuehua’s explanation stirred deep unease in Luo Changsheng and the others.

For they couldn’t predict if Ji Haoyuan could now withstand the unleashed Senior Brother Hua Zhen and Fairy Tianyan.

After all, he fought at the Divine Ruins’ bastion, and none could assure no further secrets or immortals lurked within.

Ji Haoyuan paid no heed to any of this presently.

Nor would he grant his foes an easy breather.

Before Senior Brother Hua Zhen and Fairy Tianyan could fully ignite their ninth-rank sealing talisman.

A longbow materialized in his grasp.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! echoed in quick bursts.

Dozens of flaming arrows streaked toward them with fierce momentum.

Their faces tightened briefly.

Luckily.

Triggering the ninth-rank sealing talisman required mere moments.

Almost immediately, radiant rule lights enveloped them.

Celestial melodies chimed through the void.

Their realms surged upward ceaselessly.

In the end, both stabilized at True Immortal Eighth Layer Heaven.

True Immortal Eighth Layer Heaven ranked as an expert even up above, often summoned to major immortal gatherings.

Now confronting Ji Haoyuan’s volley of arrows, they exuded utter composure.

Senior Brother Hua Zhen declared coolly, "Do you truly believe that in this lower realm, you can disregard us all?

Today, I’ll reveal the true might of a great sect’s core disciples."

His words barely faded when the golden pagoda above Senior Brother Hua Zhen’s head plummeted down.

Golden halos bloomed one after another in the sky, forming massive suns that smashed brutally into Ji Haoyuan’s dozens of arrows.

Rumble!

Dazzling flames erupted violently.

All battle observers saw how, beneath Senior Brother Hua Zhen’s halo barrage, the glow of Ji Haoyuan’s arrows faded swiftly.

Particularly as the golden pagoda fully crashed down, every arrow winked out in that instant.
