Chapter 75: Immortal Tablet, Nothing More Than This
What an arrogant evil spirit! It’s a pity though, my Immortal Alliance has been suppressing you fiends and heretics since the creation of heaven and earth, and we can continue to suppress you until the end of time. Do you know why? Because good will always triumph over evil!
Du Wu said with a sense of security.
Good will always triumph over evil? Who is evil and who is good? Are lonely spirits evil? Look outside, they are standing with the common people now. Are you good? But you are standing against the masses!
Lu Yao retorted.
Anyone who betrays the Immortal Alliance is a heretic and cannot be considered a common person.
Du Wu replied forcefully.
Heh heh… So, whether someone is a heretic or not is not determined by their actions, but by what you say.
A cold smile appeared on Lu Yao’s face, and she said, “I’ve changed my mind. Regardless of whether you mend the heavens or not, the Immortal Alliance no longer has a reason to exist!”
With that, Lu Yao brought her index and middle fingers together on her right hand. Her dark fingernails grew rapidly, reaching over four feet long in the blink of an eye. At first glance, they resembled a pair of thin, black, slender swords, reflecting a metallic sheen.
Go!
Lu Yao immediately ordered Zhang Zhi, who was beside her.
Thank you, young lady, for saving my life!
Zhang Zhi cupped his fists and then headed straight out of the main hall.
The next moment, Lu Yao vanished from her spot like a ghost and appeared in front of Du Wu as if teleporting. The long sword in her hand tore through space, pointing directly at his throat.
Clang!
A crisp collision. To everyone’s surprise, the sword, which was capable of slicing through space, was blocked.
Qi Huang peered closely and saw a tombstone about ten feet tall blocking Du Wu. It was densely engraved with many characters, the most conspicuous among them being the ten large characters “Monumental Tablet of Ancestor Immortal Du Jie” at the very top.
Crack! Crack!
At the same time, cracking sounds came from the space behind Lu Yao. Where she had just passed, countless spider web-like cracks spread out in all directions. Wherever they went, they triggered ripples of spatial fluctuations, obliterating everything in a destructive manner.
Go!
Seeing that the situation was not good, several old men in the Heavenly Aperture Realm quickly fled with the people beside them.
Peak Flying Corpse? You are indeed strong and fast, but can you be stronger than the Immortal Tablet? Can you be faster than my consciousness?
A mocking smile appeared on Du Wu’s face.
This old fellow can actually use the Immortal Tablet directly!
Qi Huang’s breathing quickened. She had long witnessed the power of the Immortal Tablet. Its mere pressure had annihilated all life within a radius of dozens of kilometers. If it were a physical object, how powerful would it be?
Is that so?
Lu Yao’s expression was unreadable. She extended her eight other fingers on both hands.
In midsummer, the fingernails on her Eight Extremities Sword Fingers also grew to over four feet long with a swish. She then began to attack Du Wu furiously, like a ferocious beast.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Du Wu controlled the Immortal Tablet to defend himself. Just as he said, although his strength was not as good as Lu Yao’s, and his speed was not as fast as Lu Yao’s, his spiritual sense could lock onto Lu Yao!
Unable to break through Lu Yao’s defenses, Du Wu began to sweat, which evaporated into green mist and dispersed into the air.
As time passed, Du Wu’s expression began to weaken, and the Immortal Tablet was no longer as agile as before.
“Not good! It’s a potent poison!”
Du Wu finally realized, but it was too late!
Lu Yao seized the opportunity and plunged her right hand into Du Wu’s left chest, instantly prying out his heart.
“This tablet is powerful, but unfortunately, it can’t defend against poison!”
Lu Yao shook her head disdainfully. She closed her five fingers on her right hand and crushed Du Wu’s still-beating heart into pulp.
“You… you shouldn’t celebrate too early!”
Du Wu, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, did not die immediately after losing his heart. With a thought, a clone emerged from his body, and the large hole in his left chest disappeared completely, with only torn clothes as proof that he had indeed suffered a fatal injury just now.
Qi Huang peered closely and saw that the large hole had appeared on Du Wu’s clone. It was obvious that this old fellow had transferred the injury to his clone, a skill that every cultivator could obtain after reaching the Shentong Realm.
Du Wu then used his spiritual sense to control the dead clone, reached into its left chest, and smeared some blood onto the Immortal Tablet, shouting, “I seek my ancestor’s help for my grandson! Blood Sacrifice! Immortal Might descends!”
As Du Wu’s voice fell, a world-destroying spiritual sense descended from the sky, causing space to distort wherever it passed. From afar, it looked like the Milky Way pouring down from above the Imperial Capital.
Lu Yao was directly beneath it, bearing the brunt of the impact.
“BOOM!”
The next moment, centered on the Immortal Alliance’s main altar, everything within a ten-mile radius was subjected to a dimensionality reduction attack, being flattened. The earth itself began to sink, and only Du Wu remained unharmed.
Under the immense pressure, Lu Yao knelt on the ground with one knee, her whole body trembling slightly. The veins on her slender neck bulged due to the exertion.
“Haha, how about that? Do you know why the Immortal Alliance has stood firm? Do you know why evil spirits have never been able to gain a foothold?”
Du Wu laughed triumphantly.
“I said, after today, the Immortal Alliance will cease to exist. I always keep my word!”
Lu Yao said word by word, then trembled and removed the veil from her face, revealing her glaring blood-red tears.
“To be able to move under the suppression of Immortal Might, you are the first. You should be proud to die!”
Du Wu said in surprise.
However, at this moment, countless surrounding Yin energies began to converge towards Lu Yao, engulfing the sky and obscuring the sun, making it impossible to discern the edges.
Nourished by the Yin energy, Lu Yao’s strength began to surge again, and she slowly stood up.
“Hmm?”
Du Wu frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He directly reached into the clone’s chest, scooped up some blood, and sprinkled it on the Immortal Tablet, shouting, “Blood Sacrifice, Third Form, Immortal Tablet Suppression!”
As his voice fell, the Immortal Tablet shot up into the sky, growing larger against the wind. In an instant, it became as large as a mountain. Then, it descended towards Lu Yao with the might of Mount Tai crushing down. The space along its path collapsed, creating terrifying spatial rifts.
Lu Yao did not dodge or evade. She raised her slender right hand and met the Immortal Tablet.
“BOOM!”
With a world-shattering roar, the Immortal Tablet crashed onto the earth, creating a pit tens of miles in diameter. The resulting seismic waves collapsed most of the houses along the way, and the destructive shockwave followed closely behind, its carried mud and stones acting like cannonballs, destroying everything that had survived.
In this single blow, the entire capital was completely annihilated, rising into a giant mushroom cloud. Millions of residents did not even have time to scream. The only fortunate thing was that because Lu Yao attracted the Yin energy, they had the chance to become ghosts after death.
Du Wu floated in the air, staring at the giant Immortal Tablet embedded in the ground, his expression gradually relaxing because the surrounding Yin energy had stopped converging, which meant that zombie had died.
“Finally dead. Under the Immortal Tablet, no one survives!”
Du Wu sighed in relief.
But at that moment, Du Wu found that the surrounding Yin energy suddenly came alive, rushing towards the bottom of the Immortal Tablet, at a speed more than twice as fast as before.
“How is this possible?”
Du Wu stammered, a look of fear appearing on his face. He wanted to deliver a finishing blow, but he no longer had any stronger means of attack.
After a while, the Immortal Tablet slowly emerged from the ground, as if someone was pushing it up.
In Du Wu’s terrified gaze, Lu Yao walked out, supporting the Immortal Tablet with one hand. Every step she took sank deeply into the earth, but there was no sign of strain on her face.
“Is this your reliance?”
Lu Yao squeezed her right hand slightly, and a crack appeared from the bottom of the Immortal Tablet, spreading upwards and branching out, quickly covering the entire tablet.
“BOOM!”
The Immortal Tablet finally could no longer bear the weight and disintegrated into pieces of various sizes, falling down.
“Immortal Tablet, nothing more than this!”
Lu Yao said with a disdainful smile.
