Aspiring to the Immortal Path -
Chapter 1141: The Fisherman Profits (1)
The Dark Night Ancestor smoothly made its getaway.
While it had lost this battle, at least it had confirmed the state of the old dragon’s injuries. This was a major discovery, a sign that it could attack again. All it needed to do was gather its forces once more.
Perhaps it should reorganize the Dark Night Death Corps that it had given up on once, or perhaps it should find that scoundrel who had stolen its four treasures, or perhaps…
The Dark Night Ancestor was constantly thinking of its next steps, its conniving and scheming mind quickly conceiving a whole pile of wicked plots.
But before it could finish all these plans, its Divine Will sensed an immense threat approaching.
“This is…”
The Dark Night Ancestor looked around in shock.
Who was it?
The Ice Dragon Emperor?
The other Fiend Gods? Even less likely. They were more focused on protecting the dragon, and besides, none of those Fiend Gods had seemed this threatening.
“Who is it? Come out!” the Dark Night Ancestor bellowed.
Laughter came from all around, and Tang Jie emerged from the void.
Seeing the thief appearing before it again had the Dark Night Ancestor shocked rather than pleased, its eyes narrowing. “It’s you!”
Unlike before, Tang Jie unleashed all his aura this time, and the Dark Night Ancestor was able to immediately sense his terrifying power.
This was truly absurd. How could someone who had yet to reach Immortal be so intimidating?
Was it an illusion?
But if it was an illusion, why would this human dare to chase it and even appear before it?
The Dark Night Ancestor was a paranoid fiend, and the fact that Tang Jie didn’t immediately attack made it even more suspicious.
Tang Jie could see its doubt, and smiled. “There’s no need to think about it. This battle is between you and me. If you win, the four treasures I took will all be yours, along with everything else I own. If I win, then yours will become mine.”
With this said, he began to gather power, and as his power radiated into his surroundings, it began to fill the world and even compress the air itself. Pulses of energy thrummed out one after another, rippling into the distance.
Seeing this, the Dark Night Ancestor knew that Tang Jie was speaking the truth.
This guy who hadn’t even entered Immortal Platform had the strength to fight with him.
“You brat!” the Dark Night Ancestor bellowed, and it once more summoned that region of death.
Tang Jie smiled. He had been itching to test his power against this peak Earth Immortal Fiend God.
As the region of darkness expanded, Tang Jie let out a punch.
Devil Crushing Fist!
The Combat Emperor Catalog represented the Martial Lord’s strongest combat techniques, utilizing physical strength to its maximum potential, capable of shattering worlds.
In the face of this punch, even the Dark Night Ancestor’s region of darkness froze for a moment, and then this space-shattering punch tore through the darkness, turning it back into fundamental particles.
But a moment later, more Death energy rushed in to fill the gap.
Tang Jie unleashed punch after punch, blasting hole after hole in the darkness. But more darkness would keep rushing in.
The shadows were seemingly endless, while death came silently.
As Tang Jie punched away, a massive shadow quietly formed behind him, and the Dark Night Ancestor’s ugly smile appeared on it.
It raised its hands and reached for Tang Jie’s neck.
…All without a single noise.
Just when its hands were about to touch Tang Jie, Tang Jie exploded with white light.
This blinding light caused the Dark Night Ancestor to scream.
The Evil Punishing Seal!
This bane of all ghosts could also punish the wicked and dispel darkness.
The Evil Punishing Seal unleashed by his perfect body was a combo that even the Dark Night Ancestor couldn’t endure. With a shriek, it blinked away, reappearing within the region of darkness. While regenerating with the death energy, it glared at Tang Jie. “You have to pay a price for injuring me!”
It howled, and the darkness began to writhe.
The darkness distorted space like it was a towel being wrung, and at the same time, Tang Jie felt himself also being wrung. The average law cultivator would certainly have been wrung to death by this.
Even so, this distortion made Tang Jie feel extremely uncomfortable. His formidable constitution was incapable of resisting it, and as a result, he was twisted like a pretzel. Even his sense of space was thrown into disarray. The Dark Night Ancestor seemed right in front of him, but his attacks could never reach, his punches arcing off in strange trajectories and his Divine Will striking into nothingness.
If he used the Heavenly Dao Realm, he could easily escape this situation.
But Tang Jie didn’t want to. Its severe side effects meant that he couldn’t use it casually, and besides, he wanted to verify his actual strength.
Tang Jie grunted, and then he opened his hands and threw out an item.
The Myriad Yin Yang Furnace!
108 beams of divine light shot out, stabilizing the space around him.
Tang Jie’s body rippled with spiritual power.
“Wind!”
A great gale stirred, gathering the air into dragons that roared off in all directions.
This was the Basking Moon Sect’s Mountain-Sweeping Gale Divine Connection, and when Tang Jie used it with his perfect body, its power was multiplied dozens of times, the wind dragons almost like real ones. They joined the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace in stabilizing space and halting the distortion.
The spatial distortion was accomplished through the Dark Night Ancestor’s region of Death energy, a Dao which he had entered. To use ordinary methods to combat the power of a Great Dao, immense energy was required, like that of the Ice Dragon Emperor.
But now, the peak Earth Immortal Dark Night Ancestor was being “suppressed” by a mere Soul Projection cultivator!
The Dark Night Ancestor reeled in shock.
But it still wasn’t over.
Amidst the howling winds and light of treasures, Tang Jie threw out another item.
The Sovereign Blade!
“Go!”
With this resounding cry, the Sovereign Blade shot toward the Dark Night Ancestor.
Although it had never interacted with the Sovereign Blade before, the Dark Night Ancestor still felt an unprecedented threat approaching. It instantly knew that it couldn’t directly take a blow from this sword, and with a strange cry, it disappeared into the darkness.
The Sovereign Blade cut through the afterimage left by the Dark Night Ancestor, but it was unable to injure the fiend itself. A moment later, the Dark Night Ancestor emerged elsewhere in the region of darkness, shrieking as it fired an inky arrow at Tang Jie.
This arrow seemed to be made from the deepest darkness. It had no ability to pierce, but it had a powerful suction—so powerful that when it flew toward Tang Jie, he felt like even his Divine Soul was being pulled toward it.
The Shadow Vortex Arrow!
Tang Jie cocked his head, and crimson threads erupted from his body, spinning around him and weaving themselves into a bloody cloth: the Flesh Millstone. With Tang Jie’s greater cultivation, the Flesh Millstone could both attack and defend. Each crimson thread was as heavy as a mountain, and as they churned, they succeeded in stopping the arrow. But the crimson threads all vanished into the black hole at the tip of the arrow like moths rushing to the flame.
The number of blood threads around Tang Jie dwindled until only a thin layer of gauze remained, barely able to maintain its state. But the arrow’s black hole had also greatly weakened.
With a pop, the Shadow Vortex Arrow ceased to exist, and at the same time, the Flesh Millstone shattered. Tang Jie paled as he grunted. While he had managed to stop the arrow, it had come at great cost.
But the Dark Night Ancestor had no time to celebrate, for the Sovereign Blade came shooting over, this time transforming into a whip that tore through space and appeared directly behind the Dark Night Ancestor. It whipped the Dark Night Ancestor and caused it to howl in pain.
Because the Sovereign Blade now had a soul, it was much more flexible in the ways it dealt with enemies. Alas, while tearing through space let it catch the enemy by surprise, it lost its peerless sharpness and so failed to chop the Dark Night Ancestor in half.
Even so, the soul-sundering effect attached to the whip put the Dark Night Ancestor through agony.
Both of them had ended up injured from this trade of blows.
A moment later, the Dark Night Ancestor fired off two more Shadow Vortex Arrows while Tang Jie had the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace’s barrage join the whip.
Tang Jie had to use everything had to deal with a peak Earth Immortal who had entered the Dao, and even then, he didn’t have the upper hand. After all, the Dark Night Ancestor could go up against True Immortals, and the region of death was both powerful and as versatile as Blood River’s ocean of blood.
The two were evenly matched, their battle wreaking havoc on the world.
