Chapter 99 Protracted War
"Haha, you've got guts."
A set of black armor completely enveloped the Ancient Buddha, and a disdainful voice emanated from it.
"To be able to kill the King of Muddy Waters, you must be quite strong."
With a flick of his wrist, the Ancient Buddha conjured a treasure in the shape of a halberd, its entire body bronze in color, but its blade a vivid crimson.
Divine power was infused, and the crimson runes lit up!
"Boom!"
The Shadowless Blade and the Halberd clashed, and the two energies began to contend with each other.
"My Blood Halberd is a true treasure!"
A crimson light flashed across the halberd blade, its power increasing several times over, repelling the Shadowless Blade and simultaneously striking Lu Xing's chest with the back of the blade.
"Such powerful strength! But with the Divine Armor, the damage from this halberd is negligible." Lu Xing steadied himself in mid-air.
This was just a test between them, and he was clearly at a disadvantage.
"Hahaha, it seems you're not as powerful as I expected." The Ancient Demon Venerable laughed, his black eyes fixed on the armor on Lu Xing's body. He could intuitively sense the extraordinary nature of the armor.
"The Vast Golden Domain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless golden dots appeared out of thin air, and an invisible connection linked them together, bringing immense pressure to Lu Xing.
The ultimate treasure of the ordinary realm - the Golden Domain.
Previously, it was only its ability to seal off space that was activated; now, its full form is being revealed.
"Not good." Lu Xing urged the Hunshui River that had recognized him as its master, but the two were on different levels, and the Hunshui River's domain was suppressed and could only spread to the surface of the armor.
Even so, the oppressive force was not completely neutralized.
"I'll just strike once, then hide inside the Peak Palace," Lu Xing thought to himself.
For a palace of this caliber, it would take Venerable Gusha at least several decades to break through, while Venerable Huanyi would only need a few hours to arrive.
"Blood Halberd Slash!"
The Ancient Buddha wielded his blood halberd, and a huge crescent moon phantom appeared on it, tearing apart the space around the edge of the halberd blade.
"Spatial Whirlwind Kill!"
Lu Xing unleashed the full power of this top-tier treasured battle blade, causing a silver glint to appear on its jet-black blade. This was the second form of the Shadowless Blade, and he simultaneously unleashed his strongest strike.
"Buzz~"
Two streaks of light brushed past each other.
Both of them aimed to directly attack each other, in order to maximize the power of the secret technique.
A yellowish-brown palace phantom emerged from the skin, and the arcane attack was completely blocked by the Peak Palace halfway through.
"So strong!"
Lu Xing exclaimed in surprise, "My divine body has actually lost 12%!"
It should be noted that his Divine Armor was in its second form, which could weaken material attacks to one two-thousandth of their original strength. In addition, the Peak Palace also withstood a portion of the power, so even so, he still lost 12%.
Moreover, when he uses the Spatial Whirlwind Kill, he must be burning his divine power to unleash his strongest attack, and his divine body will also suffer considerable damage.
Of course, the Venerable Gusha was not having an easy time either.
He was currently at the center of a spatial vortex, where terrifying strangulation forces were constantly assaulting his armor.
"Damn it, he can actually use such a secret technique!" Venerable Gusha cursed angrily.
He possessed a supreme treasure, but the armor was only at the level of a top-tier treasure. Even when activated to its fullest extent, it would be weakened by a thousandfold. This strangling power was still enough to annihilate his divine body.
"Golden Radiance".
With a thought, the Ancient Buddha sent countless golden dots into the spatial vortex, their threads connecting to form a golden vortex.
The two vortexes overlapped, but their directions of motion were opposite, and soon the secret of interest dissipated.
"Divine body damaged by 6%!"
The Ancient Buddha Venerable roared angrily, but his anger quickly turned into a mocking expression. He knew that Lu Xing would suffer significant losses from using such a secret technique.
"I never expected that you could perform such a secret technique even without a supreme treasure."
With a swift movement, he swung his blood halberd and slashed at the Peak Palace, leaving a clear scratch on its surface.
"Your palace treasures are only of ordinary level; even the best ones wouldn't be able to stop me," Venerable Gusha laughed.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Xing controlled the Peak Palace and fled outwards.
He wasn't incapable of leaving; releasing the Ice Shark Venerable, with the power of the Ice Wings and Ice Scale Armor—two top-tier treasure sets—was enough to break through this domain.
"Hahaha, do you think you can get away?"
The Ancient Buddha controlled the golden light spots to attach to the Peak Palace, causing the flying speed to suddenly decrease, and he was quickly overtaken.
"Go after them, go after them." Lu Xing smiled.
Venerable Huan Yi has arrived, and the direction he is fleeing is the same location where Venerable Huan Yi set up an ambush.
"Bang!"
The Peak Palace was knocked away, but it did not leave. Instead, it hovered in the air.
"Oh?"
"Is he not leaving?" Venerable Gusha was somewhat surprised. "Does he intend to fight to the death? I won't let myself be hit head-on by that kind of secret technique again."
The first time, he was trapped in the center of the spatial vortex, and the terrifying suction force made it difficult for him to escape.
However, with precautions in place, it will not be trapped for as long as the first time, and the damage to the divine body will be smaller.
"Senior brother, I've arrived." Lu Xing contacted Venerable Huan Yi through the virtual universe.
His detectors didn't find any trace, but after all, it's the cosmic overlord, so how could it not have some ability to shield its detectors? It's normal that it couldn't find anything.
Moreover, he couldn't detect it, and neither could the Ancient Buddha, who possessed a detector of the same level.
"Alright," said Venerable Huan Yi. "Wait a moment, this time we must kill him completely."
"Hmm." Lu Xing responded, then his gaze fell on the Ancient Buddha Venerable in front of him, controlling the Peak Palace to remain in place.
"Not moving?"
"Something's strange..." Venerable Gucha quietly looked at the Peak Palace. "This Venerable seems to be deliberately fleeing this way. This place is already within the territory of Lanxing Island."
"Could it be that they sought help from other venerable ones?"
Lanxing Island, the second largest island in the Ancient Spirit District, has a considerable number of Venerables.
"That's not right," Venerable Gusha muttered to himself. "The strongest on Lanxing Island is only a High-Level Venerable. How could a High-Level Venerable dare to enter without my permission when I'm using my Domain Treasure?"
"And the detector isn't responding either..."
A surge of divine power flowed into the Blood Halberd, unleashing another secret attack.
"Let's launch ten more waves of attacks. If we can't break through this palace, I'll sell the news. One Ancient Spirit Crystal is enough for me," Venerable Gu Sha thought to himself.
Once the information is sold, all he needs to do is stall Lu Xing until the buyer arrives. Although the gains will be less, the advantage is that he doesn't have to take any risks.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Waves of attacks landed on the Peak Palace, leaving a deep white mark on its solid surface.
Ten waves of attacks, and only ten seconds or so had passed.
"If this drags on any longer, the Peak Palace will be ruined." Lu Xing felt a pang of heartache. This was worth 100 Treasure Points, and even repairing it would require a lot of Treasure Points.
Of course, Venerable Huan Yi would not treat him unfairly!
"Kusa, I've been waiting for you for so long!"
A voice echoed out, striking the ears of the Ancient Buddha like a thunderbolt.
