I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 358: Chapter 283: You Have Yielded, Fellow Daoist Zuo! (Part 2)

Then with another flicker, he vanished completely, his aura thoroughly escaping the Secret Realm.

"Blood Demon Heaven Escape Skill!"

"How decisive!"

Seeing this, Zuo Tianlun couldn’t help but sigh.

The Blood Demon Heaven Escape Skill is a Secret Seal from the Qingyang Temple for fleeing, sacrificing all Dharma Seals except the Golden Seal and most of one’s body, freezing the Circulation, to gain a respite, and then escaping thousands of miles, disappearing into the void.

It is a Seal with a heavy price but exceptionally strong escape capability.

This woman, seeing the unfavorable situation, directly abandoned everything and escaped from this world.

Gu Yuan witnessed everything, his eyes flickered slightly, but he did not speak further.

He still had the means to stop this woman, but after some thought, he decided to abandon this idea.

Through his maneuvering, the situation was already clear, and there was no need to use more trump cards.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, everything has gone as you wished, the Witch has been expelled, and now in this Secret Realm, only the two of us remain!"

Zuo Tianlun, after confirming with his Divine Thought that the Witch had indeed vanished, turned around and looked at Gu Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, your profound righteousness indeed complements your reputation as the prodigy of our Profound Sect!"

Gu Yuan clasped his hands, smiling lightly.

"No more idle talk, does our previous agreement still stand?"

Zuo Tianlun said coldly.

"I, Gu, am not of the Demon Sect, how could I breach my word?!"

"The treasures are here, Fellow Daoist Zuo can feel free to take them!"

Gu Yuan laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and all the treasures were thrown out, suspended in the air.

"Very well, let’s see your skills!"

Seeing Gu Yuan throw out the treasures, Zuo Tianlun relaxed, did not rush to seize them, but instead turned to Gu Yuan, lightning flashing in his eyes.

Throughout his life, he was self-confident, most proud of having overcome a Celestial Tribulation, standing above all, but later, Gu Yuan emerged, stealing his thunder, leaving him somewhat displeased.

At the Golden Core Ceremony of that year, he, regardless of his composure, wanted to make a move, just to overshadow Gu Yuan and reclaim his limelight.

But that battle was obstructed by a Golden Core from Cyan Peak Daoist School, and he could not succeed.

Today, in the Secret Realm, to seize the treasures, they finally have a battle.

If I win this battle, the world will have nothing to say!

"Five Elements Thunder Claw Seal!"

Zuo Tianlun, his battle spirit soaring, instantly unleashed a powerful Thunder Seal, five Thunder Flood Dragons swimming from his sleeve, transforming into a giant Thunder Claw to grasp at Gu Yuan’s head.

The winds and thunder surged, the Spiritual Mechanism swayed, Gu Yuan only felt like a giant thunderous mountain was coming his way, shaking his heart and spirit.

But he simply laughed aloud.

What he previously said, inviting Zuo Tianlun and the Witch to attack him, was not purely a taunt.

If the two really did attack, he had trump cards to deal with it.

Now, with only Zuo Tianlun left, these treasures were his for the taking!

"Hah!"

"Heh!"

Gu Yuan did not move, just raised his head, and softly uttered two sounds.

His voice was extremely light, as if he merely opened his mouth without making a sound.

Yet, in an instant, the entire Secret Realm seemed to tremble.

An utterly terrifying force of vibration rolled out from Gu Yuan’s mouth, roaring in all directions, severing everything!

Ten Thousand Roar Spirit Sound Seal!

This seal is not a Secret Seal from the Daoist School, but an exceptionally rare Ancient Seal in the world!

One sound severs rivers, the second shakes the Celestial Vault, the third shatters stars.

The power of this seal is vast, Gu Yuan has not yet cultivated it to Great Success, but even in the Golden Core Realm, it possesses terrifying might.

Zuo Tianlun could feel the tremors beneath his feet and in the void, but no sound reached his ears; everything was silent.

The entire world was in silence, quaking ceaselessly.

The grand sound is silent!

"Bang!"

But in an instant, an explosive roar nearly shattered the eardrums.

Countless lightning rays exploded fiercely, and the thunderous giant claw in the air shattered with a roar, the terrifying aftermath sweeping miles around, clearing all the surrounding gloomy mist.

Heaven and earth abruptly brightened, as if the entire Secret Realm lit up.

"Sound Dao Seal?!"

Zuo Tianlun’s face changed slightly, revealing a trace of seriousness.

The power of this sound is truly terrifying.

But Gu Yuan merely chuckled; back when he had just entered the Golden Core, he elevated this seal, and with it alone, he could have sparred with this person at the ceremony back then, let alone today?

"Fellow Daoist Gu, be careful!"

Zuo Tianlun’s expression slightly tensed, but his fighting spirit grew even more intense. He raised his eyes, and with a slightly hoarse voice, reminded Gu Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist, come on!"

Gu Yuan just smiled.

Zuo Tianlun took a deep breath, pouring all his mana into his dantian without reservation.

Within his dantian, a brilliant golden seal radiated dazzling spiritual light.

In his youth, he had a fortuitous encounter in the Thundering Mountain Range. It was thanks to this encounter that he managed to break through to the Golden Core under such fierce celestial tribulations.

After forging his Golden Core, he didn’t hesitate to make this seal his golden seal, keeping it as his trump card.

It was also thanks to this seal that he had previously slain the Demon Cultivator Golden Core within the Sunset Glow Sect.

The only regret was that during the battle with that Demon Cultivator Golden Core, it wasn’t clean enough, leading the demon cultivator to self-destruct his golden seal. Otherwise, by obtaining that demon cultivator’s golden seal, his strength could have advanced further!

"Screech!"

Zuo Tianlun’s thoughts surged, but his actions were not at all sluggish. He roared toward the sky, producing a strange screeching sound. In an instant, his entire body expanded, transforming into a peculiar creature three zhang tall, with a face like indigo, hair like vermillion, fierce eyes, and wings on its back.

Tier Three Golden Seal, Thunder Shock Demon God Seal!

This seal could transform the frail human body at once into an Ancient Demon Body, possessing the formidable physique of a Tier Three Great Demon. Moreover, his thunder techniques would suddenly soar, greatly increasing his strength.

Back then, it was precisely by relying on this seal that Zuo Tianlun obtained an incomparably powerful physique and thunder techniques, allowing him to safely pass the celestial tribulation.

This is a rare transformation seal!

"Boom!"

Without seeing Zuo Tianlun take any action, the celestial vault above suddenly erupted with endless flashes of thunderous light. Dark clouds loomed overhead, and wind and thunder raged, turning the mist above the lake into dust.

Born anomaly, this Ancient Demon Body had astonishingly reached the pinnacle of the Early Stage Golden Core.

"Boom!"

Zuo Tianlun let out a long howl toward the sky, full of desolate vastness.

The massive wings on his back suddenly spread open, stretching ten zhang wide, densely covered with thunder patterns, born of heaven and earth, obscure and mysterious. An ordinary cultivator simply glancing at them would have their heart and spirit shattered by the invisible thunder light.

"Boom!"

In the void, countless thunder lights surged, madly rushing into these Wind Thunder Wings.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, these Wind Thunder Wings abruptly detached, trailing endless blue thunder flames, like a meteor, attacking Gu Yuan’s head.

"Gu Yuan, my demon body is bloodthirsty, and I cannot hold back my strength. If you cannot withstand this, it’s still not too late to concede!"

The Wind Thunder Wings transformed into true wind and thunder, amidst the resounding boom across the sky, Zuo Tianlun’s deep voice came remotely.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, look to the celestial vault!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan just laughed, pointing his hand toward the sky!

Zuo Tianlun, hearing this, immediately looked up.

Only to see a haze-like, seemingly chaotic-colored lightning above the celestial vault, suddenly descending.

Bearing a remarkable similarity to that of an Ancient Seal.

This lightning bore no booming sound, nor did it carry a sky full of stormy clouds following it.

Only a hazy trajectory cleaved through the sky.

Yet, a tremendous fear suddenly rose in Zuo Tianlun’s heart, reminiscent of the celestial tribulations of those years, chills rapidly spreading through his heart!

"What kind of thunder technique is this?!"

He had mainly cultivated thunder techniques for years, yet he had never seen such lightning.

This didn’t seem like a lightning released by cultivators; it felt like the punishment of the heavens, devoid of pompous power, but one that could obliterate existence in silence within the heavens and earth.

But he, transformed into the Ancient Demon Body with an incredibly strong physique, was not incapable of resisting, albeit with a heart trembling!

"Gu Yuan, don’t blame me when you’re dead!"

Zuo Tianlun roared furiously toward the sky, fangs bared, with endless thunder light following alongside him, he raised his body, daringly meeting the lightning from the celestial vault.

Meanwhile, the Wind Thunder Wings under his command didn’t return, instead accelerating towards slashing Gu Yuan.

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!!"

Within the Secret Realm resounded gigantic explosions, as if endless thunder light burst forth, threatening to pulverize the entire Secret Realm into dust.

The yin fog and skeletons of the entire Lost Soul Lake were swept away by the aftershock of the thunder light.

Both thunders bore mighty power, as if capable of cleansing the entire universe.

The Secret Realm stayed slightly silent for a moment.

A magnetic voice then resounded, echoing in front of the grand hall:

"Well played, Fellow Daoist Zuo!"

The void stayed silent for a long moment, before a weak, incredulous voice slowly emerged, as if in disbelief:

"How, how is it possible, how are you unharmed?"

After a full-force strike, the opponent remained unscathed, almost shattering his Dao Heart.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, don’t be disheartened, I indeed am not injured, merely died once is all!"
