The Mortal's Path to Immortality

As everyone gave in, the originally noisy void gradually became quiet, and finally only Cao Rui and Ji Zhan were left standing facing each other.

The atmosphere between them was extremely tense, as if even the air had solidified, and a thrilling battle was about to begin...

In the vast corner of the void in the distant viewing area, top monks such as Sun Daoyi, Lu Xudong, Dark Tong, and Zhan Chen, a core member of the Deep Blue Organization, gathered together naturally as if they had a tacit understanding.

Each of them exudes a powerful aura that cannot be underestimated.

At this time, Sun Daoyi couldn't hide his excitement and took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, look at the fierce battle between Cao Rui and Ji Zhan. In my opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will be over." It will become the pinnacle of the Void Refining Battle in our Red Cloud Whirlpool in thousands of years!"

His voice trembled slightly, obviously full of anticipation for the battle in front of him.

Dark Tong on the side nodded slightly, agreeing with Sun Daoyi's view, and then added: "Yes, if the cloaked ancestor Cao Rui can really defeat Ji Zhan this time..."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, then looked at everyone firmly, and continued: "Then it is enough to prove that even if our Hongyun Whirlpool's Four Directions Heaven Realm is placed in the entire spiritual world, it can definitely be regarded as the top. The cultivation area!”

It turned out that Dark Tong had carefully reviewed the detailed information about the Blue-robed Star Thieves Group before. While marveling at the unfathomable powerful background behind this mysterious organization, he was also well aware of Ji Zhan's terrifying strength.

As far as he knew, Ji Zhan had been in the starry sky for many years without a single defeat, especially when facing those monks from the heavenly realm, he showed an overwhelming advantage.

At this moment, Lu Xudong, who had been observing the battle with squinted eyes, slowly said: "But, don't forget, that Ji Zhan was a swordsman with unparalleled strength. Considering Cao Rui's current situation, It’s not that difficult to defeat such a powerful enemy.”

His words were like a bucket of cold water pouring down, making everyone who was originally excited calm down a little.

"But this time we raised three million Tianji and asked Cao Rui to take action."

"No matter whether Cao Rui wins or loses, we have shown our attitude to the Blue Robed Star Thieves. Maintaining the status quo is the bottom line. If we continue to exceed it, we need to consider the anger of the monks in our central area."

Hearing this, Zhan Chen curled his lips and said, "Chief Lu, my leader has not started fighting yet, but he is trying to boost others' ambitions? It's not appropriate, isn't it?"

Although Zhan Chen's combat power was hundreds of times worse than Lu Xudong's, he was not afraid of Lu Xudong at all.

Lu Xudong glanced at Zhan Chen, and for Cao Rui's sake, he didn't care about it, "Of course I hope Cao Rui can win."

As the words fell, there was a change in the scene.

In the void, the surrounding people who came to watch this fierce battle have not yet completely evacuated ten thousand feet away.

At this moment, the corners of Ji Zhan's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, revealing a sly and fierce smile.

Immediately afterwards, without any warning, he suddenly pulled out the heavy sword on his back, and galloped out like lightning, slashing straight towards Cao Rui.

"Damn Ji Zhan, this bastard, actually carried out a sneak attack!" When Zhan Chen, who was watching the battle, saw this, he was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed.

His roar instantly attracted the attention of the group of star thieves in blue robes on the fast ship docked in the distance. They all stared at Zhan Chen with wide eyes, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Zhan Chen was not willing to be outdone and stared back. There were nearly a thousand monks gathered in Hongyun Whirlpool now. They were really unruly. It couldn't be better if they were so hot-blooded!

Cao Rui, who was in the center of the battlefield, was also slightly startled by Ji Zhan's sudden move.

He really didn't expect that this guy Ji Zhan didn't even say hello, he just took action when he was told, which was extremely shameless.

However, when I thought about it, after all, this person was a notorious star thief, so it seemed that it was not unexpected to do such a despicable and obscene act.

After all, this kind of insidious and cunning method is quite consistent with his identity as a star thief.

Faced with such a close sneak attack, it was already too late to use the Xuanwu True Shadow magical power.

At the critical moment, Cao Rui made a quick decision, opened his mouth and suddenly sprayed out a treasure - the top-grade spiritual treasure Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella.

He quickly mobilized the powerful mana in his body and injected it into it, causing the Eight Treasure Exquisite Umbrella to instantly bloom with dazzling light and lay steadily in front of him, forming an indestructible defensive barrier.

There was only a loud "bang" sound, and an extremely terrifying and overwhelming force surged out from the heavy sword, like a ferocious and violent giant beast, which hit Babao hard. On top of the exquisite umbrella.

In an instant, the Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella trembled violently, as if it could not withstand the huge impact and break apart at any time.

Fortunately, Cao Rui reacted quickly. With quick eyesight and quick hands, he stretched out a palm to hold the handle of the umbrella tightly, trying his best to stabilize the Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella.

If it had been so late at night, I'm afraid this extremely precious magic weapon would have been overturned directly, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"How is that possible?" Everyone present was dumbfounded, looking at the astonishing scene with disbelief.

Ji Zhan was seen holding a heavy sword, which exuded a heart-stopping pressure, as if it could split the heaven and the earth.

"This level of strength... is beyond imagination!" someone muttered to himself.

People speculated about the source of this powerful force. Was it the power contained in this spiritual treasure heavy sword itself, or was it due to Ji Zhan's unfathomable physical strength...

Or did the two complement each other and create such a shocking scene?

At this moment, the netherworld mark between Cao Rui's eyebrows suddenly flashed, and the light was dazzling.

Then, his netherworld spiritual eyes opened instantly, and his deep and mysterious eyes were cast directly at the heavy sword in Ji Zhan's hand.

At the same time, Lu Xudong, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help shouting to Sun Daoyi beside him: "Sun Daoyi, what kind of magical power is this? Why is it so powerful?"

However, facing Lu Xudong's questioning, Sun Daoyi seemed a little embarrassed. He shook his head slowly, indicating that he didn't know the reason.

Seeing this, Lu Xudong showed a trace of doubt on his face and questioned: "Don't know? Didn't you fight with Ji Zhan before? Didn't he use such a powerful magic at that time?"

After hearing this, Sun Daoyi coughed twice and explained: "Ahem, to be honest, when I fought with Ji Zhan before, he did not use this heavy sword."

As soon as these words came out, the field fell into silence. Is Sun Daoyi not qualified? No, it may also be that Ji Zhan fought according to his aptitude...

"Is that all you have? Hahahahaha..." Ji Zhan laughed wildly like a madman, and that laughter seemed to penetrate people's souls, resound through the sky, and echoed throughout the space, making people's ears buzz and almost deaf.

He was seen holding an extremely heavy sword, with his arm muscles tense and veins bulging, swinging it violently again. Along with his movements, a sharp sword energy whistled out, and at the same time he shouted loudly: "There is no trick in heavy swords!"

Just as his voice fell, a jaw-dropping scene appeared. The heavy sword, which was already huge and like a mountain, seemed to be injected with endless power, and the sword body began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a blink of an eye, it extended to a length of a hundred feet!

This hundred-foot-long giant sword stretched between heaven and earth, exuding a terrifying aura that made people shudder. The power contained in it was like a surging torrent, constantly overflowing from the sword body. Wherever it passed, the void was slightly distorted because it could not bear this powerful force.

If an ordinary peak cultivator of the refining void was here at this moment, facing such a terrifying sword, I am afraid that even the courage to resist would be lost. If one is not careful, even if he is only slightly affected by this force, he will die immediately and his soul will be scattered.

However, at this critical moment, Cao Rui did not know when he quietly completed his defense preparation. His whole body was already covered with mysterious and ancient basalt runes, which flashed a weak but tenacious light, tightly wrapping him. Then, a lifelike basalt true image slowly emerged and completely covered his body.

Seeing the devastating sword light coming towards him, Cao Rui was not afraid. He took a deep breath, then raised the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella with both hands high, and faced the sword light.

With a large amount of mana injected, the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella actually swelled in the wind and instantly turned into a giant umbrella of ten feet in size.

The various gems and spirit beads inlaid on the umbrella surface bloomed with dazzling brilliance, forming a sharp contrast with the hundred-foot-long giant sword.

He thought to himself, wanting to test Ji Zhan's true strength.

At this moment, a buzzing sound was heard, and a huge force that was even more terrifying than before suddenly attacked.

Fortunately, Cao Rui had successfully activated the Xuanwu Rune at this moment, and the mysterious Xuanwu Rune flashed around him. These runes continuously raised his physical strength to the extreme level.

Therefore, facing this surging powerful force, Cao Rui still blocked it steadily with the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella and his own physical strength.

At first glance, the two sides seemed to be evenly matched. However, the actual situation was not the case.

You know, the heavy sword used by Ji Zhan was originally known for its attack power. At this moment, he swung one sword after another, slashing down at Cao Rui like a storm.

Under such a fierce attack, the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella in Cao Rui's hand and his own mana were under great pressure, and the degree of damage was much more serious than Ji Zhan.

However, after a hard and arduous resistance, Cao Rui finally found a fleeting opportunity.

"Spiritual eyes break delusion!"

Then, a ray of energy containing the power of the netherworld suddenly shot out from his eyes, taking advantage of the gap between Ji Zhan's attacks, and rushed straight to the opponent's soul like lightning.

However, just when everyone thought that Ji Zhan's soul would be severely damaged, an unexpected scene happened.

The netherworld energy that rushed like a ghost was about to hit Ji Zhan's soul fiercely, but at this critical moment, Ji Zhan's body suddenly shone with an extremely dazzling snow-white light.

This ray of light was like a meteor across the night sky, short and bright, and it disappeared quickly like a flash in the pan.

But in this moment of lightning and fire, the Netherworld energy that was originally so aggressive and unstoppable seemed to be cast by magic. Along with the disappearance of the snow-white light, it also strangely dissipated into the invisible, without even a trace left.

This sudden change made Cao Rui stare with his eyes wide in shock, his face full of disbelief.

His heart was full of doubts.

Because he clearly felt that the Netherworld energy he had just released had not been lost at all, but at this moment, no matter how he used his powerful spiritual sense to explore, he could no longer sense its existence.

Previously, someone blocked Cao Rui's spiritual eye to break delusion, this spiritual sense fusion magical power, but it also allowed Cao Rui to sense that his magical power encountered the corresponding energy dissolution process.

It can be sensed that the other party is also consuming a lot.

It was not surprising that Ji Zhan could block him. What surprised him was that Ji Zhan's way of blocking this magical power made it impossible to see the limit of consumption.

This feeling was as if the netherworld energy suddenly evaporated from this world completely, leaving no trace. It was too weird and bizarre.

It even made people wonder, could it be that this netherworld energy had already escaped from the constraints of this space and went to an unknown area?

Faced with such an incredible situation, even with Cao Rui's cultivation, he was a little lost for a while.

At this moment, Ji Zhan snorted coldly: "Hmph, the so-called spiritual power is nothing more than this."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the heavy sword in his hand raised high again, with unparalleled power, slashing down towards Cao Rui fiercely.

Seeing that the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella was getting dimmer, Cao Rui had to put away the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella and use the more mana-consuming Xuanwu True Shadow to push up.

Xuanwu's True Shadow easily withstood the heavy sword's powerful slash, but Cao Rui's mana consumption was also greater.

This would not work.

Cao Rui waved his hand, and the five flying swords of spiritual treasures had already gathered.

Cao Rui was doing two things at once.

The five flying swords of spiritual treasures instantly merged into one, and slashed at Ji Zhan's original body from the side!

"Haha, so you also practice swordsmanship."

Ji Zhan stretched out his hand and pulled out another sword from behind.

This sword also exudes the aura of a top-grade spiritual treasure, the sword body is transparent, and the sword shape is slender!
