I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 883 I'm still young, so naturally I should be a little arrogant!
Gu Yuanqing's figure flashed and he was already outside the lightning net.

Li Huang formed a hand seal, and the lightning net changed, condensing into a purple-gold dragon that roared towards Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and pressed down with a phantom image, sending a huge palm print towards the Purple-Gold Thunder Dragon.

The Palm of Returning to Nothingness!
The two collided, and a blinding light burst forth.

The purple-gold thunder dragon and the palm print annihilated each other, turning into nothingness.

"If it's just demigod-level power, that's not enough! Show me your true strength. Oh, I almost forgot, you wouldn't dare use true god-level power, otherwise, if divine punishment strikes, you'll be dead before I even have a chance to act!"

Gu Yuanqing laughed loudly, raised his finger and drew a line, a white-gold sword aura directly attacking Li Huang.

As soon as the Sword Qi of the Myriad Manifestations of Calamity appeared, it immediately shattered the void and arrived in front of Li Huang.

"The power of myriad phenomena? A mere child's play!"

Li Huang sneered. He cultivated the Nine Heavens Thunder God Scripture and wielded the power of the Heavenly Thunder Mirror, so he was naturally familiar with the aura of calamity.

Suddenly, his purple-gold thunder god dharma form contracted, and with a flick of his finger, lightning instantly condensed at the tip of his index finger, the dazzling light so intense that no one dared to look directly at it.

The cultivators of the Ancient Divine Sect hurriedly looked away. Those who were a little slower had already gone blind, and blood was flowing from the corners of their eyes.

This is the Thunder Finger of Breaking Illusion from the True Scripture of the Nine Heavens Thunder God!

This finger strike met Gu Yuanqing's sword energy with perfect precision!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the ultimate collision and annihilation of two completely different forces at the microscopic level!

The various calamity forces contained within the platinum sword energy surged wildly, attempting to break through the lightning.

The Thunder of Deception, which is said to be able to destroy all falsehoods and heresies, also carries the power of the rules of the Thunder Mirror of the Heavenly Realm. When the two clashed, they were evenly matched.

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly. Although the power of the Juntian Thunder Mirror was more domineering, it was not as mysterious and unpredictable as the Heavenly Law Bell, making it much easier for him to deal with.

Moreover, he was right. If Li Huang didn't dare to use power above the True God level, he really wouldn't stand a chance!

He swung his sword repeatedly, unleashing a series of sword energies that, combined with the principles of space, attacked Li Huang from all directions.

A glint of light appeared in Li Huang's eyes. Facing the incoming sword energy, countless bolts of lightning flashed, transforming into lightning snakes that coiled around his body. The surrounding area of ​​a hundred feet transformed into a lightning domain, with each lightning snake wrapped with a sword energy.

At the same time, he took a step forward, transforming into a bolt of lightning that struck Gu Yuanqing directly.

"Want to get close?"

Gu Yuanqing did not retreat, but instead took a step forward and met the attack head-on with a palm strike!
All paths return to the abyss!

The palm print seemed to pull the weight of the entire space behind it, and wherever it passed, the void collapsed inward, presenting a scene of returning to nothingness, and it collided fiercely with the incoming lightning!
"boom!"

The power of thunder and the power of the void clashed head-on, and the violent energy turbulence forced both of them backward.

Li Huang retreated and then advanced again, his speed even faster. He clenched his right hand in the air, and lightning condensed into a purple-gold lightning blade. Countless fine destructive lightning patterns leaped across the blade as it slashed down at Gu Yuanqing!

Gu Yuanqing's figure flickered, ripples spread in the space beside him, and he instantly moved ten feet to the side, avoiding the sharp edge of the lightning blade.

With a raised hand, a crescent-shaped, hundred-foot-long platinum sword aura slashed towards Li Huang.

Li Huang transformed into lightning, sword energy slashed across his body, splitting him in two, only to reunite in an instant, and continued to attack Gu Yuanqing.

His attacks were like a tidal wave, his lightning blades slashing and cutting. Each strike was simple and direct, yet as fast as lightning and as powerful as a thunderbolt. It also caused the surrounding lightning field to resonate, and countless electric snakes shot out from all directions, interfering with and compressing Gu Yuanqing's dodging space.

Gu Yuanqing remained calm, his figure appearing and disappearing amidst the lightning blades.

He mastered the art of space, sometimes shrinking the earth to an inch, sometimes folding light and shadow, always managing to avoid fatal attacks at the last second.

At the same time, streams of sword energy that could ward off calamity, combined with the Dao of Space, attacked Li Huang from an incredible angle.

In an instant, the sky was filled with crisscrossing lightning, piercing sword energy, and intertwined figures, all moving so fast it was dazzling.

The two fought from east to west, shattering space in their wake and leaving behind countless sword marks and raging thunderous energy.

The clouds in the sky disappeared during the battle between the two, and the occasional sword energy that fell to the ground caused mountains to collapse and the earth to split.

"boom!"

Gu Yuanqing unleashed another Ten Thousand Paths Returning to Nothingness Palm, clashing head-on with Li Huang's lightning blade. Using the force, he flew backward, simultaneously slashing with his left sword finger.

Li Huang swung his thunder blade to extinguish the sword energy, but a sword energy emerged from the space under his ribs. Although it was blocked by his protective lightning, it still made him slightly sluggish.

Unable to break through after a long attack, he grew increasingly anxious. He possessed immense power, but dared not unleash it fully for fear of divine punishment.

The opponent is a master of spatial manipulation, which, combined with his movement techniques, makes him incredibly unpredictable and elusive. His swordsmanship is even more exquisite, and his use of power is masterful.

What alarmed him even more was that his opponent seemed to become more and more composed as the battle progressed, as if he were gradually becoming fully aware of his every move.

When the two fought, it didn't seem like the one was lowering their cultivation level; rather, it was as if the other was compatibility with them from a lower level.

"This can't go on like this."

A fierce glint flashed in Li Huang's eyes, and he abruptly stopped, the lightning blade in his hand dissipating.

He spread his arms and roared, and the phantom of the Heavenly Thunder Mirror appeared behind him!
boom! ! !
Centered on Li Huang, the purple-gold lightning surged out like a flood bursting its banks, instantly spreading to a radius of thousands of miles!
Within the Thunder Domain, every inch of space is filled with violent, destructive lightning, repelling any other laws that are not of the lightning attribute.

It seemed that even space itself was pierced by the power of lightning, and Gu Yuanqing's spatial teleportation technique was suppressed, making his movements sluggish!

Countless bolts of annihilation lightning gathered in the air and rained down on Gu Yuanqing like a torrential downpour, each one possessing terrifying power enough to severely injure a peak Void Immortal!
"That's interesting."

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly and made a clenching motion in the air with his right hand.

"Qingming, come here!"

Before the words were finished, a clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

A long sword, its entire body a deep cyan color, appeared in his hand. Stars seemed to flow across its blade; it was the Azure Nether Sword, which he had recently forged.

He forged this sword for this very day.

With this sword in hand, Gu Yuanqing's aura became even more fierce. The sword energy soared into the sky, causing the sky to change color, the grass and trees to bow low, the birds and beasts to take flight in fright, and even the raging lightning to lose its luster!

"This world is indeed incomparable to other exquisite realms. This power, which is close to the peak of the Void Immortal realm, cannot cause any substantial damage to this world! No wonder it can give birth to a powerhouse at the level of a True God!" This thought flashed through Gu Yuanqing's mind.

He swung his longsword, facing the center of the thunderstorm, and slashed out!
A brilliant sword aura, condensed to its extreme, soared into the sky. With the help of this illusory immortal artifact forged with his life essence, Gu Yuanqing fused all kinds of sword power into one, using the Great Annihilation Tribulation Sword as the foundation to transform it into the ultimate meaning of destruction!

laugh--! ! !
Wherever the sword energy passed, the Annihilation Divine Lightning disintegrated and vanished like ice and snow meeting boiling oil, tearing open a huge gash in the lightning domain!

The sword rainbow continued its momentum, heading straight for Li Huang at the core of the Thunder Domain!

Li Huang's pupils shrank sharply. He could feel that this sword strike was enough to damage his true god soul, or rather, enough to tear apart the lightning seal that sealed his aura.

He roared and frantically gathered the power of the Nine Heavens Annihilation Thunder Domain, condensing it in front of him into a purple crystal thunder shield engraved with thunder Dao patterns.

The next instant, the sword rainbow pierced the amethyst lightning shield!
Crack...Boom!
The stalemate lasted only a moment before a crack appeared on the surface of the lightning shield, which then quickly spread, with fine cracks covering the entire shield. Before Li Huang's incredulous gaze, it exploded with a bang!
Li Huang hastily deployed layers of lightning, but the remaining sword energy still broke through the defenses and struck him.

On its soul, the Great Annihilation Sword Qi and the Purple-Gold Lightning were entangled and annihilated each other!
"what--!"

Li Huang let out a painful roar. Although he was a Dharma form transformed from a divine soul, the sword intent shattered his divine thoughts, and the pain he felt far exceeded the pain of his physical body.

His body was slashed backward by this sword, sending him flying dozens of miles.

Below, within the Ancient Divine Sect, there was a deathly silence.

All the disciples and elders stared blankly at the sky.

Their god-like patriarch... actually suffered a great loss at the hands of Gu Yuanqing.
How can this be? !
Could it be that even the patriarch couldn't subdue this fiend?
Panic, confusion, and disbelief spread like a plague.

Qi Yichen took in the expressions of his disciples and knew that morale must not collapse at this moment.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, infused his voice with magical power, and said in a deep voice, "Disciples, do not panic! Our ancestor has boundless supernatural powers, how could he be defeated so easily?"

The patriarch only suppressed his cultivation and supernatural powers out of concern that unleashing his full power might trigger divine punishment and harm the sect! Otherwise, if the might of a true god were to erupt at full strength, how could Gu Yuanqing have any room to be so arrogant?!

Upon hearing this, the panic in the eyes of many disciples subsided slightly, but they remained uncertain and doubtful.

Li Huang, who was in the air, also heard the words below, and his face became even uglier. Although an old fellow like him who had lived for countless eons would not care too much about the disciples below, he felt that he had lost face by being injured in front of his sect's juniors.

Moreover, how long has it been since he was injured!

Anger surged within him, and his aura surged uncontrollably, enveloping him. The lightning seal that had been concealing his aura began to dissipate, and the pressure of a true god-level being began to awaken like a dormant volcano!
The illusory image of the Thunder Mirror behind him was almost solidifying, and the thunder laws of the entire Primordial Realm were trembling.

Correspondingly, in the sky above, a sense of impending doom suddenly began to gather!
"Li Huang! Calm down!"

Just at this critical moment, a sharp shout rang out.

From the depths of the Ancient God Mountain Range, a massive cauldron entwined with flames flew in and enveloped Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing seemed to want to retreat, but Li Huang raised his hand and grabbed, and a sky full of lightning struck Gu Yuanqing, while the will of a true god interfered with the space.

Gu Yuanqing missed his chance to retreat while dealing with Li Huang's attack. The Divine Light of Purification had already poured down from the cauldron, sealing off the space. At the same time, the Divine Fire of Nirvana rolled down!

The next instant, a figure engulfed in flames appeared in mid-air—it was Mu Qingxuan!

Li Huang quickly suppressed his aura, concealing the seal that had been broken due to his anger. When the aura of heavenly punishment descended upon him, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, and his anger receded like the tide.

A thunder talisman appeared, enveloping his body and concealing his divine punishment mark.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Mu! We have finally trapped him."

Mu Qingxuan ignored Li Huang's thanks, his eyes fixed on the giant cauldron below, his brows furrowing more and more.

Li Huang noticed something amiss in his expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed his surging anger and asked in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Mu, is something wrong?"

Mu Qingxuan did not answer, but instead made a hand seal and pointed at the cauldron from afar.

The cauldron trembled slightly, and the divine light of purification became even more intense. The color of the Nirvana fire inside the cauldron changed from crimson to pure white, and the temperature suddenly soared, even distorting the space itself as it burned.

This is achieved by using the power of a divine artifact of rules; even a demigod trapped within it will be refined.

However, Mu Qingxuan's expression grew increasingly solemn. He shook his head and said, "The aura... has disappeared."

"His aura disappeared?" Li Huang's pupils shrank slightly. He naturally did not believe that Gu Yuanqing had been killed in such a short time. The only possibility was that he had escaped.

He knew the power of this cauldron. It was made using the principles of the Nirvana Purification Cauldron, a divine artifact of rules. The cauldron contained its own world, with the divine light of purification sealing the space and the divine fire incinerating all things. It also had the powerful effects of purifying and suppressing the soul. Even in his prime, he would have had to put in a lot of effort to escape if he were trapped inside.

Even though he dared not unleash his full power now, Mu Qingxuan also dared not use the power of a True God. But theoretically, he still wouldn't let a demigod-level cultivator escape.

Mu Qingxuan's gaze swept across the surrounding void, and he slowly said, "This person's understanding of space is truly profound. Not only was he able to cross over from the Qian Yuan Realm, but he was also able to escape the constraints of the rules of the Nirvana Purification Cauldron. Sure enough, just as we guessed before, this person is definitely not a native of the Linglong Realm, and must have a connection with the Fayuan Realm."

His tone was somewhat solemn.

The Dao of Space is profound and complex; it's already rare for ordinary cultivators to reach the point of shattering the void and teleporting thousands of miles. How could Gu Yuanqing, a demigod, possess such attainments?

"Ha ha……"

A soft laugh came from afar.

Li Huang and Mu Qingxuan turned their heads and saw a figure appear in the void a thousand miles away. With another step, the figure was within a hundred miles.

Who else could this be but Gu Yuanqing?

Upon approaching, Gu Yuanqing leisurely dusted off his sleeves, as if his previous encounter, which had been enough to trap and kill a peak demigod, was nothing out of the ordinary. His gaze swept over Li Huang and Mu Qingxuan, and he smiled:
"Nirvana purifies the world, burns the heavens and boils the seas—the power of this divine artifact of rules is indeed well-deserved. Unfortunately, it's still a bit lacking to trap me!"

He paused, then said, "After waiting for so long, another one has finally arrived. Why don't you six just come out together? It's quite troublesome for you to jump out one by one like this."

Mu Qingxuan stared coldly at Gu Yuanqing, flames blazing around him: "How arrogant!"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled: "I'm still young, so naturally I have to be a bit arrogant, unlike you old guys... who rely on stealing and possessing the foundations of your juniors to eke out a living. No wonder even the sect leader, Mu Tianheng, defected; he probably didn't want to be your dog anymore!"

"Insolence! Utter nonsense!" Mu Qingxuan's face grew even colder, and flames surged.

"What? Are you angry because you're embarrassed?" Gu Yuanqing laughed.
