Eternal Life as False Emperor

This time, Luh Shutong absorbed the lessons from previous failures and focused entirely on defense, without thinking about how to attack.

After all, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor was not his true self, and facing Luh Shutong, who was fully defending, he couldn't easily cause any harm.

The other three hid behind Luh Shutong, seizing any opportunity to charge out and launch a fierce attack.

Whenever they couldn't hold on any longer, they would immediately retreat behind Luh Shutong.

If Luh Shutong couldn't hold on, the three of them would attack simultaneously to buy Luh Shutong time to recover.

"You damn ants!" The Azure Moon Flame Emperor grew more agitated as the battle went on.

If his true self were here, even with Luh Shutong present, he'd be confident enough to easily take out these few in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

But now, the power he could exert was limited.

Unable to destroy Luh Shutong's defense immediately, it was difficult to deal any effective damage to the other three.

Zheng Yi tried hard to diminish his own presence while busily directing the others.

"Well done, Elder Luh, just focus on defense."

"As the frontline, the most important thing is not to wound the enemy, but to protect your teammates."

"Just remember, as long as you don't fall, we won't lose this battle."

After instructing Luh Shutong, Zheng Yi quickly turned to Lin Junrong: "Elder Lin, don't think too much about going on the offensive. After all, we're dealing with the Azure Moon Flame Emperor—trying to play with fire in front of her is like showing off in front of a master swordman."

"You just focus on coordinating with Elder Yue; constrain the Azure Moon Flame Emperor when he takes action."

"Elder Yue, you're the damage dealer, no doubt. But don't be too reckless. Only by staying unhurt can you ensure damage efficiency, understand? So don't be greedy for attacks; time is on our side, and the longer the fight, the more favorable it is for us."

"Elder Zhan, you just focus on poisoning this guy. Regardless of whether it works or not, just apply any state you can; as long as it distracts him, it's the greatest help to everyone."

Zheng Yi's babblings were partly incomprehensible to Lin Junrong and the others.

But considering the context, they roughly understood what it meant.

Despite Zheng Yi's cultivation being the lowest among all the cultivators present,

if it really came down to a fight, even the slightly weaker Luh Shutong could easily take him down.

Yet no one expected that, under Zheng Yi's guidance, they could actually stand against a master in the Enlightenment Stage.

Even though the opponent wasn't in complete form, this was enough to shatter their perceptions.

Some of them even thought that if their cultivation could reach the peak of Divinity Transformation,

the four of them together might even stand a chance against the complete form of the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.

"Be careful, this guy is about to unleash a big move. Quickly retreat and assist Elder Luh in defense."

"Remember, we must protect Elder Luh. Also, don't forget to guard against any surprise attacks from the Azure Moon Flame Emperor."

The scene made Zheng Yi reminisce about the games he played before the crossing over.

He had never thought that real Immortal Cultivation could also be played like this.

"It's a shame we're missing a healer, and your skill points are also misplaced," Zheng Yi couldn't help but lament.

"Tank's defense isn't enough, and the output attributes are not suitable. Only Elder Yue has no problem with skill points."

Lin Junrong and the other four were speechless. They were elders of the Star Sea, top masters in the entire Canglan Realm.

Yet now they had to follow this guy's instructions, and he was still making all sorts of sarcastic comments.

"Attention, the big move is about to end. Elder Yue, get ready."

The clone of the Azure Moon Flame Emperor was clearly not as clever as the original.

After being blocked by Luh Shutong and the others, his attention immediately fell entirely on them, completely ignoring Zheng Yi.

With continuous failed attacks, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor grew increasingly irritable.

"Elder Luh, this guy's about to go berserk; next up, it'll all be up to you."

Zheng Yi was sharp; seeing as the Azure Moon Flame Emperor's attacks became monotonous and repetitive, he knew the guy was losing his cool.

If Luh Shutong could hold on, they might truly have a chance to turn the tables.

"Understood!" Luh Shutong exhausted every effort to operate his cultivation technique.

Lin Junrong, Zhan Xinrou, and Yue Ping also put aside attacks, channeling all their spiritual qi to assist Luh Shutong.

As Zheng Yi predicted, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor, eyes crimson, launched wave after wave of fierce assaults on Luh Shutong.

The violent flames not only set the sky ablaze but also turned the earth into a scorched wasteland.

Fortunately, before their fight began, the cultivators of the Star Sea and Qingzhu Mountain had battled here for days already.

All spirit beasts capable of fleeing had long gone, otherwise untold creatures would've perished amid the towering inferno.

Puh!

Luh Shutong spat blood, the Cold Ice Shield cracked like glass hit by stones.

"Hold on, or we're all dead. This guy should be at his wits' end too; as long as we persist, he'll eventually fall."

Though the situation seemed simple, only those in it understood how tough persevering truly was.

Despite the support from the other three, Luh Shutong's spiritual qi was fast depleting.

His Cold Ice Shield persisted not only due to comrades' aid but also because Luh Shutong resorted to a secret technique consuming life force.

Zheng Yi watched as Luh Shutong's hair gradually turned from black to silver.

Just as the last strand was about to turn white, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor's ferocious assault finally ceased.

Beneath Luh Shutong lay scorched, vaporous magma, the original land long unrecognizable.

"Elder Yue, now he's weak, finish him off!"

"Got it!" Like lightning, Yue Ping darted from behind Luh Shutong, charging at the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.

Their figures crossed paths, and an arm flew skyward, dissolving into fragments of light.

Zheng Yi was about to commend them when he saw flames suddenly erupt on Yue Ping's back.

The slender figure wavered, dropping to one knee, barely propped up by a spear, almost collapsing.

"Rescue her!" Zheng Yi quickly ordered.

Though Yue Ping landed a hit, she evidently fell into a trap.

Now extremely vulnerable, without others' aid, she was surely doomed.

Despite knowing that saving her would shatter their formation,

even though this Azure Moon Flame Emperor seemed foolish, he still knew who was easier to deal with.

Zheng Yi chose rescue due to another critical reason.

Yue Ping was the only one among the Star Sea elders who could truly harm the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.

Luh Shutong focused on defense, with no strength to attack.

Lin Junrong cultivated in fire energy, even exerting power beyond herself now.

But her strength was hardly effective on the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.

Zhan Xinrou was similar; against a much stronger foe, her toxin only served to discomfort him a bit.

Without main attack means, they couldn't withstand long under the enemy's bombardment.

Lin Junrong and Zhan Xinrou rushed to Yue Ping.

Luh Shutong shielded Zheng Yi from the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.

Bang!

A massive fireball hurled, blasting Luh Shutong away.

Then the Azure Moon Flame Emperor lunged at Zheng Yi.

"Did he find out?" Zheng Yi shuddered inside.

Though always using voice transmission to command Lin Junrong and the others,

the stark cultivation gap was undeniable; the Azure Moon Flame Emperor was bound to catch on, so Zheng Yi was prepared.

Intent on dodging, yet helpless due to the vast difference in power.

He could only watch as the Azure Moon Flame Emperor's attack drew closer.

"Mirror Flower Water Moon!" A cool voice spoke beside Zheng Yi.

In the next moment, a droplet landed atop Zheng Yi's head.

The thumb-sized droplet instantly enveloped him.

The Azure Moon Flame Emperor's claw followed, piercing through the droplet, grasping Zheng Yi's neck.
