Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 843 - 689: The True Number One

Five-colored light bands, radiating brilliantly, with vast power, as if descending from an immortal palace.

Any single band can easily suppress a region of void, causing master cultivators of the sixth and seventh layers of the Spirit Platform to be overwhelmed and frantically struggling.

Yet under the sharp silver light emitted from the opponent’s eyes, they are swiftly shattered like ragged cloth, dissipating into countless energy in the void.

"What a formidable eye technique!"

The Abyss Guardian, who prided himself on vast experience, had never seen or heard of such a powerful eye technique that could effortlessly counter his signature magic: the Five Directions Rainbow Technique.

Rumor has it that the Five Directions Rainbow Technique is inspired by the Five-Colored Divine Light cultivated by the mythical Peacock God King.

It integrates the energy of the Five Elements - gold, wood, water, fire, earth - and possesses terrifying swordsmanship abilities, also with soul-destroying effects, making it an exceptionally profound secret technique from the ancient era.

Since he began cultivation, it has helped him defeat numerous masters, never suffering a defeat in battles of the same level.

Not to mention, his cultivation nowadays ranks among the top in the recent ancient times.

He could even rival those peerless prodigies recorded in books from the Middle and Ancient Eras.

The eighth layer of the Spirit Platform, in any era, is an absolute elite, breaking through to the Golden Core is as easy as eating and drinking.

He didn’t expect that this unknown eye technique of his opponent could easily unravel it.

"Descend!"

The Abyss Guardian erupted with immense spiritual essence, immediately casting over twenty more five-colored light bands, swiftly weaving through the air like spirit snakes, sweeping towards Lou Yi, hiding lethal intention in their beautiful glow.

His eyes locked tightly onto Lou Yi, intending to probe the depth of the opponent once more to prepare for subsequent attacks.

Dozens of five-colored light bands, each appearing from different directions and angles, with speed like thunder, none of those present could clearly track their trajectory.

The Abyss Guardian was fully confident.

Even if Lou Yi could fend off most of the light bands, he would leave loopholes, allowing some to hit him, thus exposing fatal flaws.

But in the next moment, his pupils constricted again.

The dozens of five-colored light bands, initially moving faster than the limits of Foundation Establishment, slowed abruptly when entering the opponent’s hundred-zhang radius.

Crawling slowly in the air at a tortoise’s pace, no faster than a toddler learning to walk.

"What kind of magic is this? Can a Body Cultivator possess such a skill?" exclaimed the Abyss Guardian in shock.

Capable of only watching, the Northern Domain Red Hero didn’t employ any eye technique, but simply punched.

"Armor-Piercing."

A soft murmur.

The fist, like a meteor, almost simultaneously striking all the light bands.

’Boom boom boom!’

Being hit by seemingly ordinary fists, the magical light bands formed by the Five Directions Rainbow Technique exploded like fireworks, splendidly dazzling.

"This punch, not only holds immense power but also significant magical breaking effect."

The Abyss Guardian analyzed internally.

His probing had some effects after all.

But Lou Yi’s true strength was not assessed, instead, it appeared ever more unfathomable.

A Body Cultivator’s punch usually carries significant physical destructiveness, yet clearly, this Northern Domain Red Hero cannot be deduced by common sense.

Seeing this, the Abyss Guardian hesitated no longer, unleashing his spiritual essence entirely.

’Boom!’

A city flashing with dazzling five-colored brilliance sprung from atop his head, seemingly slow yet actually fast.

This city comprises eight layers, each towering nine zhang and nine feet and nine inches high, entirely constructed with bricks of red, yellow, green, blue, and white, with intricate Dao patterns or ancient characters engraved floating with faint spiritual light.

Every layer’s four corners hosts a floating bronze lamp, burning with pale golden flames, emitting a sense of omnipotence.

As for the top of the city, the scene is even more astonishing.

Dozens of armored, awe-inspiring men overlook from above.

Their facial features are sharp, their bodies appearing semi-transparent yet close to solid, inevitably radiating brilliance.

The weapons held by each are different.

Some holding a purple hammer in one hand and a blue iron drill in the other, some raising dual copper cymbals, some wield a jade gun engraved with dragon patterns, some strapped a beast skin drum around their waist, others pinch a gray bag of wind...

Judging from the scene, there’s little difference between the eight-layer Spirit Platform and the legendary Celestial City!

Facing this peculiarly unpredictable strength of the Northern Domain Loose Cultivator, the Abyss Guardian harbored no thoughts of underestimating.

After failing to probe, he went all out to have a decisive showdown!

Seeing this, the members of Taiyi Sect, who were just about to flee, all paused, closely watching the battlefield with eyes full of expectation.

"Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform forms true shape, Sixth-Layer Spirit Platform Summoning Celestial Soldiers, Seventh Layer Spirit Platform Laws move, Eighth Layer Spirit Platform forges Immortal City!

The emergence of Immortal City, supplemented by Celestial Soldiers and Generals, suppresses all demons and monsters!"

"With the Abyss Guardian in action, he is certain to strike down that Northern Domain bumpkin with thunderous might!"

"This is my first time witnessing an eighth-layer Spirit Platform cultivator in action... My goodness, the feeling he gives me is lesser than that of a Fake Pill Giant..."

"The Abyss Guardian last acted over a decade ago.

A few royals from the Demon Clan undergoing seven bloodline transformations were subdued within a few moves by him; if not for the emissary from Myriad Demon Mountain pleading..."

The hawk-nosed elder surnamed Yin and others were all confident in the Abyss Guardian, believing he could easily suppress Lou Yi.

This confidence was supported by the Abyss Guardian’s glorious battles over the past decades, and the reverence for the eighth-layer Spirit Platform, the highest Foundation Establishment realm for millennia.

In contrast to this, Su Xinghe, Lin Xuan, Three Corpses Daoist, and other companions were filled with worry.

"Red Hero, can he do it?"

The Abyss Guardian of the Eighth Layer Spirit Platform, undoubtedly the strongest in the first layer of Abyss, was no lesser than the exceptional talents of history, exerting an oppressive aura comparable to a Golden Core Master or a Fake Pill Giant.

Even though they were confident in Lou Yi’s strength, they couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for him.

"Believe in the Red Hero," Su Xinghe said in a deep voice.

He was also a Grand Daoist nearing the Seventh Layer Spirit Platform, and no one understood the terrifying depths of Red Hero better than he did. Calling him a monster was an understatement.

No matter how legendary and powerful the Eighth Layer Spirit Platform was, the outcome could only be known after a fight!

On the battlefield.

The Abyss Guardian summoned the Eighth Layer Spirit Platform, the so-called Immortal City, which stood steadily in the void, imparting a sense of grandeur, eternity, and indestructibility.

At the top of the city, a group of ’celestial soldiers and generals’ emitting dazzling radiance looked down coldly at Lou Yi, their gaze as if ready to seize him into the heavenly prison at any moment.

"You are indeed formidable," the Abyss Guardian spoke, his voice booming, "The last person who made me go all out was before I had forged my Spirit Platform. He was once my greatest opponent.

Defeating him allowed me to establish an invincible Dao Heart, achieving my current success and becoming the strongest Spirit Platform Realm cultivator in three thousand years of the Cultivation Realm.

However, you might very well become the last great resource before I break through to the Golden Core, and you will be remembered in history with me, enough to be proud of."

The Abyss Guardian’s words were exceedingly arrogant.

But he had the credentials for such arrogance, making others feel it was warranted.

In response, Lou Yi also uttered a sentence, like a judgement.

"You once had a broad avenue and a supreme immortal path, but due to a momentary lapse today, you will be sent to the cycle of reincarnation. What a pity, what a sorrow."

"Just indulging in verbal advantage," the Abyss Guardian chuckled coldly, channeling Spiritual Essence to initiate an attack on Lou Yi.

The celestial soldiers and generals at the top of the city stood with indifference, holding their weapons, their aura as vast as the sea, each displaying their techniques.

One wielded a large purple hammer and blue iron drill, striking them against each other to generate jagged lightning bolts that tore through the sky, fiercely striking toward Lou Yi like a world-ending heavenly tribulation descending.

Another clanged two copper cymbals, creating ghostly white flames, each burning with a flicker that shook the void. Hundreds and thousands formed at once, shooting out like a barrage.

Another pulled out a wind bag, releasing black gales capable of corroding flesh and souls, emitting a ’woo woo woo’ sound akin to ghostly wails...

On the Immortal City, the overwhelming attacks, resembling the rumored celestial punishment, quickly engulfed Lou Yi in a sea of magic, leaving him no chance to dodge.

’Boom boom boom!’

The area where Lou Yi stood was bombarded into chaos, turning in an instant into a layer of primordial mist, impenetrable to the eye.

"This guy is undoubtedly dead!" The hook-nosed elder was overjoyed at the sight, his brows and eyes brimming with delight.

"Dying by the hands of Lord Abyss Guardian, he can die without regret," the middle-aged cultivator of the Five Elements Sect sneered incessantly.

"Oh my... can Red Hero withstand it?" Even though Lou Yi had brought about one miracle after another, the boy Lin Xuan was still exceedingly nervous, clutching tightly to Ding Shiniang’s clothes.

In everyone’s sight.

After several dozen breaths, the area targeted by the Immortal City’s combined fire finally began to clear, with the energy rapidly dissipating.

"That kid surely has no bones left, right? Hahaha, uh..." The cultivator from the Spirit Treasure Sect laughed heartily.

His laughter abruptly stopped, as if someone had pinched his throat, his eyes widening in disbelief as he stared intently at the swirling smoke and dust.

A figure slowly walked out.

His eyebrows thick, hair tidy, face calm, with only his clothes slightly tattered, yet undamaged otherwise.

Lou Yi emerged nearly unscathed, his aura undiminished.

"Are you a man or a ghost!" The Abyss Guardian, an originally serene look finally shattered, blurted out in shock.

"Are you just tickling me?" Lou Yi shook his head and said.

Taking blows without retaliating was not his style.

He stood tall, stepping into the void, rapidly approaching the Abyss Guardian, covering several thousand zhang in each breath!

Despite his confidence, the Abyss Guardian dared not let such a powerful ’body cultivator’ close in.

"Get back!"

The Immortal City, forged by the Eighth Layer Spirit Platform, shone brightly, soaring high and then plummeting down rapidly.

It was as if a mountain was falling, setting off airwaves of energy, shaking heaven and earth with thunderous booms, aiming to crush Lou Yi with all its fury!

"Divine Power: Breaking Army."

The qi-blood in Lou Yi’s entire body burned fiercely, causing his body to radiate boundless golden light. The qi-blood, more vast than the river and sea, surged violently within him.

Like an unrivaled fierce beast awakening from a dream, he delivered an earth-shattering strike at the descending Immortal City.

’Boom!’

He punched out, directly halting the downward plunge of the Immortal City, forcefully supporting it upward.

It was as if he had lifted a real mountain!

This caused the bottom of the Immortal City to warp and deform violently, with a strained ’creaking’ under the pressure.

The Immortal City trembled at a high frequency, extinguishing more than half of the heartlamps situated at every level of the Spirit Platform.

The celestial soldiers and generals at the top swayed and staggered, too disheveled to launch another attack.

Lou Yi seized the opportunity, unleashing over a hundred consecutive punches in a blink of an eye, each punch shining with light, shaking heaven and earth!
