Chapter 38 Three Heads and Six Arms, Fighting Yang Jian!
The Fire Jujube Immortal Vine, which had been hidden in the void for countless years, had already vanished into nothingness after absorbing a mouthful of Golden Crow True Fire.
All that remained were the two immortal fruits hanging from Lin Yuan's sharp claws.
The fruit is no bigger than a baby's fist, and its entire body is reddish-gold. Beneath its crystal-clear skin, it seems as if magma is flowing.
In the corner, Liu Hao stared at the two immortal fruits and swallowed hard.
He endured thirteen days on that crooked tree on the cliff of Yuquan Mountain, without a drop of water, and was on the verge of death.
Isn't it all for this legendary opportunity with immortals?
However, when this opportunity truly presented itself, Liu Hao's heart gradually sank.
In this cannibalistic SSS+ level [Godhood] secret realm, there is only one rule.
Survival of the fittest!
Lin Yuan is now more than half a person tall, with feathers like divine gold and eyes that blaze with fire. He flew more than two thousand miles across mountains and rivers to save him. This favor is already greater than the heavens.
I am just a mortal who has not even gathered enough true qi. What right do I have to share in such a rare and precious innate spiritual fruit that has seized the creation of heaven and earth?
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
Liu Hao smiled bitterly, forcibly averting his gaze from the immortal fruit and lowering his head.
"Brother, I, Liu Hao, can never repay the debt of gratitude you gave me in this lifetime."
"You can eat it all, don't worry about me. When you fly me off this cliff later, we'll be even."
In this hellish place, never test human nature, and never try to use so-called "classmate friendship" to kidnap a powerful demon.
"call--"
A whooshing sound rang out.
Liu Hao subconsciously looked up and saw a streak of crimson-gold light arc through the air before landing in his arms with a "thud".
The intense heat even made him shudder.
Liu Hao looked down and felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
A celestial fruit, imbued with innate Dao patterns, lay quietly in his palm.
"Lin...Lin Yuan, what's wrong with you...?"
Lin Yuan looked at him calmly, his beak slightly open, and let out a soft laugh.
"What, are you afraid I'll poison you?"
"We said everyone who sees it gets one, one for each person, so it's one for each person."
"Although I, Lin Yuan, am not some saint, in a godforsaken place like this, if I treat even my own words as mere farts, what kind of immortality am I cultivating, what kind of Tao am I seeking?"
"Just take it, stop talking nonsense!"
Liu Hao's eyes instantly reddened.
In this cold, mythical world, in this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods where mortals are treated like dirt, this immortal fruit is not only a source of power, but also a kind of righteousness more precious than gold!
"Brother... I can't thank you enough for such a great kindness."
Liu Hao wiped away his tears.
"From now on, my life, Liu Hao's life, belongs to you!"
Without further hesitation, Liu Hao picked up the scalding hot fairy fruit with both hands and took a bite.
"Click."
The fruit melted in his mouth without needing to be chewed, turning into a stream of saliva that rushed down his throat and into Liu Hao's stomach.
"Boom!"
Liu Hao felt a domineering innate fire elemental power instantly spread throughout his body.
"ah--"
He screamed and crashed onto the moss-covered stone slab, rolling around in agony.
It hurts so much!
This is not a gentle cleansing or marrow-refining process at all; it's like throwing a person into a Bagua furnace and recasting them with Samadhi Fire.
Lin Yuan stood not far away, his eyes slightly narrowed, watching Liu Hao's changes.
"The medicinal power of these fire dates is surprisingly potent."
Lin Yuan was secretly alarmed.
The mundane and impure energy within Liu Hao's body was being evaporated, and in its place came a surge of innate essence.
"roar--"
He suddenly rolled over and sat up, and the flesh on the left side of his neck began to writhe and bulge.
"Pfft."
A head with closed eyes, a face exactly like Liu Hao's, but exuding a bluish-black murderous aura, actually squeezed out from his shoulder.
"Pfft pfft..."
The flesh on both sides of Liu Hao's ribs burst open again.
Two thick, slimy arms, covered in mucus, suddenly grew out from under his ribs, grasping in mid-air, their knuckles clearly defined, brimming with explosive power.
Two heads, four arms!
"Whoosh—hiss—"
Liu Hao stopped rolling and slowly stood up.
The newly grown head on the left side suddenly opened its eyes.
He grew a full three feet taller, and his muscles were like cast iron.
All four arms clenched into fists.
"Bang!"
A sudden explosion was heard in the air.
Liu Hao casually swung his hand, and his newly grown arm slammed into the cliff next to him.
"Boom!"
The incredibly hard, unbreakable bluestone cliff of Yuquan Mountain was smashed into a deep pit the size of a water vat by his seemingly casual punch, sending fragments of rock flying everywhere.
"Oh my god..."
Liu Hao lowered both heads at the same time, staring at his monstrous body and feeling the terrifying power within him that seemed capable of shattering mountains with a single punch. He was completely stunned.
At this moment, Lin Yuan, standing to the side, was no less shocked than Liu Hao.
"Two heads and four arms?"
A storm raged within Lin Yuan's heart.
A famous scene from the play "Investiture of the Gods" instantly came to mind.
"I remember now... it's a jujube."
"Back then, Nezha ate three fire dates given to him by Taiyi Zhenren outside the Xiqi camp, which gave him great supernatural powers and transformed him into a three-headed, six-armed Dharma body."
"The immortal vines on the back of Jade Spring Mountain bear the incredibly potent Fire Jujube Immortal Fruit, a fruit that rivals the wonders of heaven and earth!"
Lin Yuan suddenly realized.
No wonder this fruit needs to absorb the essence of the sun to ripen.
But then Lin Yuan frowned, looking at Liu Hao's appearance.
"That's not right..."
"Nezha had three heads and six arms after eating, so how come he shrank to two heads and four arms when it came to Liu Hao?"
Lin Yuan's mind raced, and he quickly figured out the key to the matter.
"Aptitude is the difference in innate talent."
"Nezha is the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl under the Goddess Nuwa, a naturally born deity. When he eats the Fire Date, he can maximize the medicinal power and give birth to the most perfect three-headed, six-armed Dharma body."
"But what about Liu Hao?"
"He's just an ordinary high school student from the main world, with only mortal flesh. It's already incredibly lucky that he survived the domineering effects of the Fire Dates without exploding."
"These two heads and four arms are probably the limit of transformation that his mortal body can withstand."
Even so, Lin Yuan still felt a dry mouth and throat.
too strong!
A mortal without even true qi ate a fruit and instantly became a saint, possessing a terrifying battle body like that of an ancient great shaman.
"If it were me..."
Lin Yuan looked down at the remaining immortal fruit he was holding in his other paw.
He possesses the supreme Golden Crow bloodline of the ancient Demon Court, and has now entered the Dao Integration Realm, where water and fire coexist harmoniously.
In terms of physical strength and bloodline foundation, he was miles ahead of Liu Hao!
"If I eat it, it won't just be a matter of growing a few heads..."
Without further hesitation, he opened his beak slightly, about to swallow the jujube.
"You beast!"
"How dare you act so presumptuously on my Jade Spring Mountain and injure my junior brother!"
boom!
Just as Lin Yuan was about to swallow the fire date, in the blink of an eye...
A loud shout suddenly exploded in the air above the cliff.
The sound seemed to contain the laws of the Great Dao, and even the ever-present gale between the cliffs was abruptly cut off in that instant.
Immediately afterwards, a figure descended from the sky.
Lin Yuan's dark gold feathers stood on end in an instant.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the sea of clouds.
All that could be seen was the swirling, pure white mist.
A young man descended from the clouds.
This man had a handsome and refined appearance, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He wore a fan-shaped crown, a water-colored robe, a silk sash around his waist, and cloud-patterned shoes.
He truly possessed an otherworldly air and an imposing, heroic spirit!
What's even more chilling is that right in the center of the young man's brow is a tightly closed vertical line.
As soon as Yang Jian landed, his gaze swept over the stone platform.
The sight before him instantly brought tears to the eyes of this usually calm and collected third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect!
What did he see?
A terrifying, gigantic bird of prey stood high above the cliff edge.
At the feet of that monstrous bird, a naked, blood-soaked monster with two heads and four arms was kneeling on the ground.
There were still pools of blood on the ground, a truly shocking sight.
From Yang Jian's perspective, this was clearly a daring and powerful demon who had infiltrated the back of Jade Spring Mountain.
Not only did it devour the immortal fruits on the cliff, it also tortured and mutated the poor mortal junior brother that its master had just taken in, turning him into a monster that was neither human nor ghost!
"How dare you!"
Yang Jian, enraged, laughed, and the Jade Purity Immortal Qi emanating from his body suddenly erupted, transforming into a boundless fighting spirit.
He was the guardian war god of the Chan Sect, and he hated those evil spirits who used their cultivation to harm the weak!
"What kind of hairy beast is this, daring to commit violence in my Jade Spring Mountain Golden Cloud Cave Taoist temple? You will not be spared today."
"Buzz—"
The vertical line between his eyebrows suddenly split open.
Open the Heavenly Eye!
A beam of silvery-white divine light, like a peerless divine sword cleaving through chaos, slashed fiercely towards Lin Yuan's face.
That divine light was incredibly fast!
So fast that even Liu Hao, who was hiding in the corner, opened both his heads and mouths at the same time, wanting to shout "Our own people!", but he didn't even have time to make a sound.
"No sportsmanship, coming straight for the kill with a powerful attack?"
Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and his huge right wing suddenly swung forward.
He was a great demon in the Dao Integration Realm, with an unparalleled Dao Body that could harmonize water and fire. How could he be afraid of this disciple of the Chan Sect who had just come down from the mountain?
"Boom!"
A burst of crimson-gold solar divine fire erupted from his wings, transforming into dozens of golden feather sword phantoms that met the white light of the Heavenly Eye head-on.
"boom--"
The silvery-white divine light and the crimson-gold sword collided violently in mid-air.
The entire cliff face trembled violently, as if it had been hit by a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The terrifying shockwave ripped the bluestone slabs off the ground layer by layer. If Lin Yuan hadn't deliberately directed the aftershocks out of the cliff, Liu Hao, who was in the corner, would probably have been instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
The blinding light dissipated.
Lin Yuan took a half step back, his sharp claws carving two grooves in the stone slab, but his feathers remained undamaged, and his eyes remained cold.
Yang Jian, on the other side, also swayed slightly, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.
"It...it blocked it?"
Yang Jian was completely stunned when he saw the demonic bird in front of him, which was not only unharmed but also had no disorder in its breathing.
His third eye is a divine power that he was born with innately.
It is the ultimate weapon against all evil spirits and falsehoods in the world.
If an ordinary demon king is struck by the white light of the Heavenly Eye, he will instantly disintegrate and his soul will be destroyed.
But this demonic bird, with its domineering golden flames, managed to block the divine light of the Heavenly Eye.
Even within those flames, he could faintly sense a trace of pure Xuanmen Qi.
"This is no ordinary monster."
Yang Jian was not discouraged at all; instead, his eyes gleamed with a sharp, cold light.
Yang Jian had been cultivating diligently on Jade Spring Mountain since childhood, practicing the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the path of the God of War to achieve physical sainthood.
On this Jade Spring Mountain, apart from his master, he had not encountered an opponent who could make him go all out for far too long.
Today, this demonic bird has ignited the fighting spirit within him!
"What a formidable demon! Your flames are extremely yang and powerful; you are indeed a force to be reckoned with."
Yang Jian laughed loudly, his spirits soaring.
He suddenly grabbed at the air with his right hand.
"Zheng—"
A clear and melodious dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens.
A long spear, entirely silver-white and exuding an aura of endless killing intent, appeared in his hand.
Yang Jian flicked his wrist, pointing the spear tip directly at Lin Yuan. His third eye and other eyes opened simultaneously, radiating overwhelming power.
"You scoundrel, try taking another shot!"
Looking at the peerless general opposite him, who held a long spear, had a third eye between his brows, and whose fighting spirit soared to the heavens.
Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
In this special location, with this iconic appearance and this divine weapon...
A name that consistently ranks at the top of the pyramid in both combat prowess and fame throughout the entire history of mythology struck his mind.
"A third eye between his eyebrows, he carried a long spear before descending the mountain..."
"A naturally formed, radiant physical body..."
"This is again Jade Spring Mountain, the home of Jade Tripod Immortal..."
"Holy crap..."
"Could this person... be the Pure Source Mystic Dao True Lord, Erlang Shen Yang Jian?!"
Lin Yuan stared at the figure in the clouds, not only without the slightest hesitation, but also with an indescribable fervor rising in his heart!
No wonder Yang Jian dared to charge at us alone without saying a word.
He cultivates the Chan Sect's Protector Divine Art, the "Eight-Nine Profound Technique," a supreme method for achieving physical sainthood, making it commonplace for him to kill opponents of higher levels.
But is Lin Yuan afraid?
He possesses the supreme Golden Crow bloodline of the ancient demon court and has just refined the essence of the East Sea True Dragon, cultivating the supreme Dao Body of Water and Fire Harmony—a truly overpowered character.
"Since our cultivation levels are roughly the same, then today, I will use you, the future God of War of the Three Realms, to test the depth of my Dao Integration Realm."
Lin Yuan opened his beak, and two streams of light burst forth from his mouth!
"Swish, swish."
The first ray of light was entirely golden and as thin as a cicada's wing.
It is Wu Yu, the natal flying sword that was reforged from Yun Zhongzi's pine wood sword!
As soon as the flying sword was unleashed, its sword energy stretched for 30,000 feet, aiming straight for Yang Jian's third eye between his eyebrows!
And then came the second streak of light.
That was a halberd twelve feet long!
Its entire body is dark gold, its blade is as white as frost, and it is surrounded by the roar of the soul of a true dragon. It is an acquired spiritual treasure, the Fangtian Halberd!
at the same time.
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling"
A strange bell sound echoed leisurely above the sheer cliff.
Upon hearing the bell, even Yang Jian, who had mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, paused for a moment.
He felt as if his primordial spirit in the Niwan Palace had been pricked by a poisonous needle, and his consciousness became hazy.
