Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 81 Transformation into a Battle Immortal

A bell, seemingly from the very beginning of creation, resonated from within him!

Wherever Zhong Bo passed, the hidden assassin's figure shattered, the curse master's incantation backfired on him, and the dark giant's warhammer, along with his arm, broke off inch by inch!
The three Dark True Immortals, working together, were utterly crushed by Lu Xuan in a single blow! Two died and one was seriously injured and fled!

This battle cemented Lu Xuan's fearsome reputation on the border battlefield!
The titles "Golden Crow War God" and "Supreme Immortal Slayer" quickly spread.

His presence, like a banner, greatly boosted the morale of the divine kingdom.

Deep within the Xihuang Divine Palace, Xihuang kept a close eye on the battlefield.

When he saw Lu Xuan unleash the illusory image containing three ultimate Daoist principles, his eyes finally revealed understanding and a trace of genuine shock.

“The Three Corpses…severing the self…so that’s how it is…his path has actually reached this point…”

Emperor Xi muttered to himself.

"Perhaps... he really is that 'variable'..."

As for Lu Xuan, through repeated bloody battles and victories against opponents of higher levels, his control over his own power became increasingly refined, and he gained a deeper understanding of the application of the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique in actual combat.

He felt that he was only one opportunity and one deeper understanding away from breaking through the Supreme Barrier and entering the Realm of True Immortals.

He remains active on the most dangerous battlefields, seeking stronger opponents and honing his skills.

His campaigns continue.

He repeatedly defied the true immortals, slaying generals and seizing flags amidst a vast army.

The name "Jinwu Lu Xuan" has become a legend on the border battlefield, and a thorn in the side of the dark faction that they are determined to eliminate as soon as possible.

However, Lu Xuan did not become complacent because of his successive victories. Instead, he became more aware of his own situation—the supreme cultivation level eventually has its limits.

Faced with an increasingly cunning and well-coordinated encirclement by the Dark Immortals.

Even the occasional oppressive aura of the Dark Ruler, whose presence rivaled that of a Celestial King, weighed heavily on him, making him feel an increasingly heavy pressure.

Conventional breakthrough paths, such as secluded cultivation and the absorption of vital energy, seem too slow in this situation of constant warfare and urgency.

He needs a faster, more powerful, and more suitable path for his current situation and his own path!

He recalled the legends of "war immortals" from later generations—those who did not rely on the accumulation of long years.

Without relying on external resources, one comprehends one's own path only in the extreme battles and killings, on the brink of life and death, using battle to sustain battle, using killing to prove one's path, and forcibly breaking through the barriers of realm!
This is an extremely dangerous path, a path where death is a near certainty; many have attempted it throughout history, but few have succeeded.

But a flame ignited in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"Secluded cultivation is one path, and so is bloody battle! I possess the vision of an Immortal King, wield the technique to sever the three corpses, and am further protected by the Daoist aura of the Chaos Bell. What is there to fear in proving the Dao through battle!"

He completely abandoned the idea of ​​finding a safe place to break through and voluntarily threw himself into the most tragic and dangerous vortex of the battlefield.

He was no longer content with merely slaying ordinary Dark True Immortals; he began consciously seeking out Dark True Immortals with exceptionally powerful auras, unpredictable methods, and who could be considered kings among their peers, as his opponents. He even went so far as to deliberately intrude into important strongholds guarded by multiple Dark True Immortals!

He used himself as a furnace, thousands of powerful enemies as fuel, and boundless war as the fire, in order to forcibly refine the immortal fruit of war!
More brutal and thrilling battles erupted:
In the "Burial of Gods Star Sea," he fought alone against three fallen holy spirits who inherited the ancient dark bloodline, until the stars collapsed and his own golden crow blood was scattered across the sky.

Finally, on the verge of death, he triggered the destruction of the "evil corpse" to become the Chaos Golden Crow, burning the three holy spirits and the star sea to nothingness. Through this, he realized the glimmer of life in the destruction, his Dao wounds were fully healed, and his cultivation improved.

On the "Ancient Path of the Netherworld," he encountered a carefully laid curse trap by the dark forces. Seven dark immortals, each proficient in different curse schools, joined forces to unleash ancient resentment and try to curse and kill his soul.

At the center of the curse storm, Lu Xuan manifested the "Good Corpse" crystal lamp, illuminating the illusion of all things and protecting his original mind from perishment. At the same time, with the transcendent state of the "Self Corpse," he traced back to the source of the curse.

He remotely cursed and killed three Dark True Immortals, broke free of the predicament, and his soul, tempered by the curse, became even more solid and resilient.

In the shattered dragon's lair, he stormed into the lair of an ancient dragon emperor corrupted by darkness and fought a bloody battle against his dragonborn army.

Although the Dragon Emperor is not a Celestial King, he has already touched the threshold of that level. His dragon might is vast and his laws are as boundless as the sea.

Lu Xuan fought fiercely with him for three days, his feathers shattered countless times, and his bones broke countless times. He was only kept alive by the Chaos Evolution of Yang Chapter and the Origin Mark of the Xi Emperor.

In the end, he caught a flaw in the Dragon Emperor's power operation in the Dragon Emperor's strongest dragon breath. With the power of "Holding My Corpse" to control all laws, he forcibly pried open the Dragon Emperor's law structure and tore open the Dragon Emperor's reverse scale with a "Chaos Opening Claw", severely injuring and forcing him to retreat!

After this battle, the blood-red aura surrounding him almost solidified into a tangible form. It was the invincible fighting spirit and killing intent accumulated from slaying countless powerful enemies!
His fighting style became increasingly wild and domineering, yet it also drew closer to the origin of the Great Dao.

He no longer adhered to the supernatural powers of the Golden Crow Clan, but instead perfectly integrated the concept of "severing the three corpses" into every strike.

Sometimes he shows compassion and salvation, which triggers the good intentions in the enemy's heart to backfire.

Sometimes ruthless and destructive, slaughtering thousands as easily as cutting grass.

Sometimes he transcends worldly affairs, seeking an opening amidst all attacks.

His cultivation level increased at an astonishing speed amidst this extreme pressure and life-or-death struggle!

The barrier to the Supreme Realm had already loosened, but he was not in a hurry to break through. Instead, he was constantly strengthening, compressing, and refining it.

We must hone our foundation to an unprecedented level, in preparation for that final, earth-shattering leap!
A unique "aura" began to emanate from his body—the aura of a battle immortal, a fusion of fighting spirit, killing intent, and Dao intent!
Wherever he passed, dark creatures with lower cultivation levels were directly crushed in their souls by his power, and even those of the same level were intimidated before the battle even began.

He can even draw upon the crimson aura and the undying fighting spirit of fallen heroes in the sky above the battlefield, turning them into his own power to amplify himself!
On this day, Lu Xuan was recuperating in a shattered star field that had just experienced a bloody battle and was filled with countless corpses.

He had just single-handedly pacified a dark outpost guarded by five Dark True Immortals, and he himself was seriously injured. Golden Crow True Blood dripped down, burning endlessly in the void.

He sat cross-legged at the core of a dead star, his eyes closed, gazing inward. The power within him surged and churned, reaching the true pinnacle of the Supreme Realm, beyond which there was no further advancement.

That barrier leading to true immortality was clearly visible, as thin as a cicada's wing, yet seemingly indestructible.

He knew the time had come.

He no longer suppressed his emotions, but instead unleashed the fighting spirit and killing intent that had been building up to its peak, as well as all his insights into "severing the three corpses," the Chaos Evolution of Yang, and the essence of combat that he had gained during this period!
"Boom!!!"

It wasn't a lightning tribulation, but it was more terrifying than any lightning tribulation!
