Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 678
Chapter 676 Everything You Have Is Given to You by Me
. Facing the Immortal Emperor’s swift, murderous spear, Idle Jiang Li, remembering the teachings of Human Emperor Jiang Li, sheathed his
immortal sword and confronted the attack with his physical body. Compared to flashy objects, the body is the most reliable.
“Bodhi Hand!” Idle Jiang Li’s hand, like a bodhi diamond, indestructible, withstood the Immortal Emperor’s spear.
“Shock!” The Immortal Emperor acted decisively, switching tactics. With a twist of his wrist, the Burial Immortal Spear shifted from a stab to a spin.
Idle Jiang Li, inexperienced in combat, was carelessly carried away by the Burial Immortal Spear and spun around.
The Immortal Emperor’s massive foot stomped onto Idle Jiang Li’s abdomen, causing him to vomit stomach acid.
Since reaching the Mahayana stage, Idle Jiang Li had never suffered such a severe injury.
The Immortal Emperor raised an eyebrow. He had expected the foot to crush the opponent in half, but he hadn’t expected the opponent’s terrifying strength to only cause him to vomit stomach acid.
“It truly is the Hunyuan Wuji Immortal! Come and fight!” The Immortal Emperor laughed heartily, his fighting spirit high. Slaying a Hunyuan Wuji Immortal would enhance his prestige.
With increased prestige, the power of the immortal formation would grow, increasing his chances of usurping the throne and replacing the Divine Treasure Venerable.
The Immortal Emperor thrust his spear again.
“Move!” A spatial channel appeared in Idle Jiang Li’s chest, its other end leading to the back of
the Immortal Emperor’s neck. He intended for the Immortal Emperor’s spear to pierce his own neck.
The Immortal Emperor sneered. What use could such a trick be?
“The spatial channel appeared too early.” The spear changed direction, bypassing the spatial channel and piercing Jiang Li’s forehead with a metallic clang.
“It does have a resilient body, but its awareness is too weak.”
“Chaos Gold Formation!” Idle Jiang Li used his fingers as swords, unleashing sword energy that crisscrossed and formed a formation.
The Chaos Gold Formation was originally a trapping formation, but now, enhanced by the sword energy, it became a powerful offensive force.
“A trifling trick, the Southern Ming Lihuo!”
The Vermillion Bird tattoo on the Immortal Emperor’s chest cried out, its raging flames incinerating everything. The blazing heat transformed the entire First Heaven into a sea of fire, and the immortals hurriedly retreated, taking refuge in other heavens.
“Immortal-suppressing talisman! One talisman to suppress the immortals!” The idle Jiang Li drew a talisman in mid-air. The runes were simple and obscure, yet contained infinite mysteries.
One immortal was shocked: “That’s ancient immortal script. Every word and symbol holds unexplained power, profoundly mysterious. It’s long been lost in the
immortal realm. How could he possibly know it?” The Immortal Emperor smiled and said, “This is a rune common to the immortal realm when I first became a Hunyuan Wuji Immortal. Later, because it was too difficult to understand, it was gradually abandoned.”
“To use such a thing against me, I’m truly underestimated.”
“White Tiger Crossing!” A white tiger leaped from the Immortal Emperor’s chest, its roar shaking the immortal world. The Immortal-suppressing talisman, composed of ancient immortal script, was shattered by the sound. The Immortal
Emperor knew the weaknesses of ancient immortal script very well.
“I know a lot, but unfortunately, I’m not very proficient in any of them.”
The Immortal Emperor and the Idle Man Jiang Li were evenly matched. The Idle Man possessed a myriad of skills: swordsmanship, talismans, formations, witchcraft, spatial manipulation… all proved useless, and the Immortal Emperor easily deciphered them.
To the Sword Lord, Idle Man Jiang Li was a master of everything, but to the Immortal Emperor,
he was merely so-so. He had ascended the throne of Heavenly Court for countless years, delving into the laws of nature and mastering
the myriad arts of cultivation. This vast time was ample time for him to master all of these arts.
Furthermore, the Immortal Emperor had risen to the level of a Primordial Wuji Immortal through his own skill, gradually fighting his way through countless bloody battles. His combat experience had become almost instinctive.
Idle Man Jiang Li faced a formidable battle. Aside from his two parallel worlds, this was the first time he had encountered such a formidable foe.
In a head-on confrontation, the Immortal Emperor could not defeat Idle Man Jiang Li. However, after witnessing Idle Man Jiang Li’s power, the Immortal Emperor changed his tactics, employing Tai Chi techniques to wear down Idle Man Jiang Li’s resolve.
Combat is not just about realm and energy, but also about willpower.
Prolonged combat can lead to mental fatigue, thus revealing weaknesses. The Immortal Emperor was well aware of this.
“What a strong physique!” The Immortal Emperor was puzzled. He wondered how the opponent’s body had been trained, yet no blow could penetrate it. Could it be that he had achieved the Dao through sheer force, becoming a Primordial Immortal?
Huff, huff—Idle Man Jiang Li panted, exhausted not physically but mentally.
“That’s it? It’s far weaker than the fists of Brother Chu Di and Brother Ren Huang.” Idle Man Jiang Li realized his greatest advantage lay in his physical strength, and despite the risk of injury, he engaged the Immortal Emperor in close combat.
As the two engaged in a fierce battle, the sound of the Huanglü Bell rang out, a long, resonant peal, as if it had been tolling from eternity, echoing down to the present moment.
A flawless deity descended from the outer heavens, his majestic appearance captivating anyone who beheld him.
“We pay our respects to the Venerable Shenzang!” The immortals prostrated themselves upon seeing the Heavenly Dao in person.
Only two people remained unaffected by Venerable Shenzang. One was the Immortal Emperor, the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, immune to its beauty. The other was Idle Man Jiang Li, unaffected by either the Red Dust Fairy or Venerable Shenzang.
Venerable Shenzang opened his eyes, a vision that seemed to encompass the entire universe; nothing was a secret to him.
“I was wondering why I felt someone calling me. It turns out it was you.” Venerable Shenzang noticed Idle Man Jiang Li and, with a rare hint of confusion, he acknowledged
his presence. “Me?” Idle Man Jiang Li was puzzled.
“No, not you, but something within you, like a program.”
“It feels like I did it… So that’s it, so that’s it, so that’s how it works.”
Venerable Shenzang carefully sensed the system within Idle Man Jiang Li and actually laughed.
The Immortal Emperor was astonished. Even when the Dao Ancestor fell, Venerable Shenzang hadn’t laughed so happily. How could he be laughing at this mortal from the lower realms?
“Here, raise your arm,” Venerable Shenzang said.
Idle Man Jiang Li found his arm rising uncontrollably.
“Show your sword skills,” the Divine Treasure said again.
The idler Jiang Li drew his immortal sword and slashed with it. The sword energy was like a waterfall, tearing through the sky.
“What have you done!” Idle Jiang Li was horrified, feeling as if his body was no longer his own.
Venerable Shenzang smiled, but remained silent.
“Take my sword! Kill one person every ten steps!” Idle Jiang Li drew his sword and slashed at Venerable Shenzang, but the sword energy vanished upon encountering him like snow upon hot water.
“Heaven and Earth Death Formation!” Idle Jiang Li unfurled a vast formation beneath his feet, its power so powerful that even the Immortal Emperor shuddered.
During previous battles, Idle Jiang Li had attempted to deploy the formation many times, only to be interrupted by the Immortal Emperor. This time, he finally succeeded.
Rumbling thunder enveloped Venerable Shenzang, but it could do nothing to harm him.
Talismans to suppress immortals, curses to kill, elixirs to refine heaven and earth… Idle Jiang Li used every tactic, but to no avail. Venerable Shenzang had no effect.
The Immortal Emperor realized something was amiss. Idle Jiang Li’s methods were terrifying, and even he dared not confront them head-on. No matter how powerful Venerable Shenzang was, he shouldn’t have faced them head-on, let alone emerge unscathed.
“How come you’re not hurt at all?” Idle Jiang Li was terrified.
Venerable Shenzang chuckled: “Swordsmanship, alchemy, talismans, formations, harem, master, the throne of the Human Emperor, reputation… everything you have is given by me, what can you use to resist me?”
Venerable Shenzang walked up to Idle Jiang Li, tapped his chest, and a halo appeared in his hand.
“What a brilliant design.” Venerable Shenzang looked at it for a moment, then leisurely put the halo back on Idle Jiang Li’s chest, not afraid that Idle Jiang Li would attack him.
Idle Jiang Li wanted to fight back desperately, but now he didn’t even own a finger.
“To be precise, I gave it to you not long after.”
