Chapter 967: The Battle Against Satan
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Xuan knew that this was their last battle—the Big Five had been commanding the various worlds to besiege Earth from behind. Yet, Lu Xuan had been able to straighten things out. With the help of the sword qi talisman left behind by Lu Xuan, Lu Shanshan had slaughtered a few Immortal Realm elites before that.
The Big Five wouldn’t show themselves under normal circ.u.mstances—not even Lu Xuan could have predicted their whereabouts because they weren’t any ordinary human immortals, frankly speaking. Usually, they would take form from the cultivation of living creatures, but the Big Five had taken it from the rules of the skies and lands. Hence, they were not to be considered living beings. Otherwise, with Lu Xuan’s hot-headedness, he would have gone for them, beheading them one after one.
He had endured patiently until this day, and finally, the day had come—he would eliminate them all in one combat, sparing any further complications.
“It seems like you have been expecting us.” Sakyamuni shot Lu Xuan a glance, half-smiling. His eyes were sharp, and his large torso had looked like it was piercing through the universe. Through his senses, he could vaguely detect Lu Xuan was plotting against them—how bold of him. Perhaps not many people have had such guts since ancient times.
“Aye. I have been waiting for you for long.” Lu Xuan spoke slowly, not hiding his intentions. Since they had arrived at where they were, there was no point in concealing the truth. There was no backing off for him—the only thing he could do was to fight.
“I’m impressed. Still, you are the first one who had put us together since the beginning of time,” Satan said. His devil-like face had a perplexed look on it, just like a human would. The other supreme figures did not speak, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Right then, the teleportation portal on Earth gleamed with rays of light—it was Lu Shanshan and the others who had rushed back from the frontlines.
“Stall the others for me so that I can handle these few.” Lu Xuan sent a message to Lu Shanshan using telepathy.
“You need our help, Xuan?” Lu Shanshan asked.
“No. These are all the Divine Mages. They are no ordinary living creatures. You are no match for them,” Lu Xuan replied with a solemn expression. The born Taoism apt.i.tude might have been considered extraordinary in the eyes of the commoners, but in front of these Divine Mages, it was nothing. Unless they could transcend the shackles of their physiques like Lu Xuan did in his previous life, reaching an inconceivable realm, only they would be able to stand on equal footing with them. No matter how good Lu Shanshan’s combat strength was, she was no match against them. Even if they were only projections, their combat strength had far surpa.s.sed that of the Immortal Realm.
Lu Xuan spoke again, “Hold the others back. Don’t let them come any closer to Earth.” Those mythical figures all had their followers, and among them were Immortal Realm elites. This time, Lu Xuan wasn’t alone either. He turned his gaze back to the G.o.ds in front of him with a cold smile on his face. “Now, let’s fight!”
“Your arrogance blinds you. You think you alone can contend against us?” Satan’s voice had spread across the Earth, shaking the world. He was enraged, causing everyone to tremble in fear. He started chanting an ancient spell, “Pride. Greed. l.u.s.t. Envy. Gluttony. Wrath. Sloth.” It was the legendary Seven Deadly Sins—he had relied on this ancient spell to make the many heroes fell into a trance, working on his side.
The spell of Seven Deadly Sins reverberated throughout the entire universe, illuminating the past, present, and future. It was a spell that had existed eternally. Whether in the past, present, or future, there would be no short of people who would commit the seven deadly sins. The greed and desires of numberless creatures had swamped together, transforming into immense power. Almost in the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan’s soul was about to be sucked away, becoming a sacrifice to the spell of Seven Deadly Sins.
Lu Xuan’s expression turned bleak as he concentrated on the power of rules—the force that would surpa.s.s the power of laws. Mysterious, inconceivable, and indescribable. If it were Lu Shanshan and the others, having the born Taoism apt.i.tude wasn’t enough to deal with Satan’s eerie attack. They would be injured heavily.
Golden light burst out from Lu Xuan’s body, and he had his primordial spirit suppressed, not giving in to the spell of Seven Deadly Sins.
“There’s no use restraining. All shall fall under any of the Seven Deadly Sins. Now, face the crimes you have committed!” Satan’s voice had exploded like thunder next to Lu Xuan.
“The Seven Deadly Sins, huh? Cogito, ergo sum—and I believe this is not a sin!” Lu Xuan yelled. “Who do you think you are to have me convicted?” With another shout, the golden light on his body shone brighter. The next instant, he launched an attack. He had balled his fingers into a fist, his force sweeping across the sky. He had the innumerable meteorites shattered with one punch, almost cutting off the sky.
Wherever the force of his fist had pa.s.sed, the universe had exploded. At this very moment, Lu Xuan had become extremely dangerous. He was too powerful, and it was not until now that he had released the full power of his cultivation for all these years as his punch had smashed right through the sky, shattering everything.
There was a change in Satan’s expression—he was best at using the power of laws to manifest the Seven Deadly Sins. Under his spell, not even an Immortal Realm elite could have escaped death. The next second, the Seven Deadly Sins had shifted into countless black chains that would constrict around Lu Xuan’s fist, binding him tight and dragging him into the endless abyss.
However, Lu Xuan had his aura heaved and boosted, not affected by Satan’s attack at all.
“His primordial spirit… How is that possible?” Satan’s pair of demon eyes saw the depths of Lu Xuan’s primordial spirit—it was a golden dragon that was soaring up in the air like the great Sun that had shone upon everything. Any sinister would have rendered ineffective in front of this golden dragon.
The Seven Deadly Sins that Satan had manifested might have seemed extraordinary. But in reality, they were utterly useless. They were unable to rattle Lu Xuan’s primordial spirit the slightest bit. His boasting skills of luring the strong into depravity had seemed like a joke in front of Lu Xuan.
It had felt like long hours had pa.s.sed, but all that had happened was in just a split second before Lu Xuan’s punch would shatter everything, arriving in front of Satan.
Satan’s terrifying aura sublimated, a horrifying demonic shadow appearing in the void of the universe. The entire world shook, and the two exchanging blows directly stimulated the Earth’s world will to recover. As the world quaked, countless Inferno species had materialized out of thin air, flooding over Lu Xuan.
Displaying greater strength, Lu Xuan had his entire body wrapped around with a golden dragon, looking like an invincible G.o.d, his torso enormous and st.u.r.dy. Without further ado, he charged forward. It was a scene even more horrendous than when Lu Xuan had his battle against Luo Chen.
Boom!
A cosmic collision had broken out.
