Chapter 423 The Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique
Du Qingmu's eyes were wide open, his face showing disbelief and extreme terror, a true reflection of his final expression before his death.
Grandmasters at the Celestial Realm have transcended the realm of ordinary people, cultivating an indestructible golden body and living as long as heaven and earth. Barring unforeseen circumstances, it is extremely difficult for a Grandmaster at the Celestial Realm to die.
Therefore, masters at the Celestial Realm often cherish their lives more than ordinary people, because their golden bodies are indestructible and it is difficult for them to die naturally. That is why they show such fear and disbelief when facing death.
"Old Master Du..." Looking at Du Qingmu's head placed inside the peach, Lin Fei also felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Du Qingmu was considered one of his long-time followers. From the moment he ascended the throne, Du Qingmu and the entire Du family of Jiangxia had unconditionally supported him. Even at his enthronement ceremony, Du Qingmu, a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm, went to great lengths to travel thousands of miles to personally support him.
Later, he helped Lin Fei monitor the Eight Evil Paths. This time, upon receiving an imperial decree, he readily agreed to come to the Heavenly Court ruins to protect him. Du Qingmu can be said to have been devoted and hardworking without complaint.
Seeing Du Qingmu die violently before his eyes, Lin Fei felt a mix of emotions.
At the same time, Lin Fei understood why these ancient gods had met such a fate. Like Du Qingmu, they were probably all victims of that incredibly strange peach tree before them.
Holding the Xuanyuan Sword, Lin Fei shouted fiercely at the peach tree, "What kind of monster are you?"
After a moment of silence, a chilling laugh echoed from within the peach tree: "Not bad, not bad. The taste of a human immortal's flesh and blood is truly excellent! I haven't tasted such delicious flesh and blood in so long! It's been so long since any outsiders have visited this peach orchard! Seeing that your cultivation levels are not bad either, it's perfect for me to indulge in a feast!"
Lin Fei's hand, gripping the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, was trembling slightly, and the veins on his hand were bulging—his anger had reached its peak and was on the verge of exploding.
Just then, Yuanyi suddenly spoke up to Lin Fei, saying, "Wait a minute, let me go and meet this monster first!"
Lin Fei's eyes showed worry. Even Du Qingmu was powerless against this tree demon monster and was swallowed whole. Yuan Yi had only recently broken through to the Celestial Realm, and was probably not stronger than Du Qingmu.
Du Qingmu had just died, and Lin Fei didn't want anything to happen to his master as well. If he went up himself, he could use various methods to deal with the monster.
Seeing the worry in Lin Fei's eyes, Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, although my cultivation is not as good as Elder Du's, I might have a good chance of defeating this monster."
He explained to Lin Fei in a low voice, "You must have already realized that your Xuanyuan Sword can't do much damage to this monster. Let me go up first to test the monster's defenses, and then you can look for an opportunity from the side."
Hearing Yuanyi say this, Lin Fei knew that his master was not one to speak carelessly; if he dared to go forward, he must at least be confident of escaping unscathed. He nodded and said, "Master, please be careful!"
……
Yuan Yi took out a cyan sword, stepped forward, and glanced at the heads that Du Qingmu had smashed and scattered on the ground. A look of pity appeared in his eyes as he said to the tree demon monster, "Although I do not know what kind of demon you are, you have committed so many atrocities. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and deliver you from this calamity!"
The voice coming from the tree trunk burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha, how arrogant! I have devoured dozens, if not hundreds, of human immortals to date. You, a mere human immortal, dare to challenge me?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gigantic tree root suddenly shot out from beneath the ground and coiled around Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi's expression remained unchanged, neither sad nor happy. He held the cyan longsword in his hand, and his body was radiating a faint cyan light. At the same time, his body was also undergoing subtle changes.
In the midst of that burst of blue light, Yuan Yi's clothes slowly turned blue, and behind him, four emerald green glass lamps, resembling oil lamps, floated up. His entire demeanor and expression also changed drastically from before.
Lin Fei knew that this was Yuan Yi's "Taiyi Salvation Body". After reaching the Celestial Realm, his primordial spirit and his physical body had completely merged into one. Yuan Yi's current body was an indestructible golden body that could unleash supreme divine powers.
Yuan Yi calmly drew his cyan sword, and a burst of cyan light erupted. At the same time, a voice that seemed to come from the heavens shook the earth.
"In the realm of eternal joy and auspiciousness, in the Easternmost wondrous palace, amidst the fragrant forest of seven treasures, upon the nine-colored lotus throne, surrounded by myriad immortals, and bathed in billions of auspicious lights, the Supreme One who saves all sentient beings in the ten directions!"
At the same time, the four glass lamps behind Yuan Yi also shone brightly one after another. With each lamp lit up, it seemed as if a voice that had been heard since the beginning of time emanated from the sky.
"Impervious to all evils and untouched by all calamities, this is the harmony of Taiyi!"
"May good fortune and prosperity continue, and may misfortune turn into good fortune; this is the correspondence of Taiyi!"
"All evils retreat, all demons are swept away; this is the response of Taiyi!"
"May you live forever in the Eastern Pole! The Great Savior of Suffering, Taiyi, has descended upon the world! Evil spirits and villains, retreat at once!"
……
"Taiyi saves from suffering, Qingdi grants immortality!" Yuanyi raised his sword and pointed it at the oncoming tree roots. Clumps of green grass appeared on the roots.
Not only the tree roots, but also the surrounding land, were covered in a green hue, and the entire peach orchard instantly became a vibrant and thriving place.
And that touch of green was spreading from that thick tree root toward the main body of the peach tree.
The grass seemed to contain some strange power. The tree roots, which had been rushing towards Yuan Yi with great force, suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if they were not under the control of the tree demon monster at all.
This was the first time Lin Fei had seen his master display his abilities after advancing to the Celestial Realm. Seeing his master suppress the strange peach tree demon with a single move, Lin Fei, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, a terrified scream came from within the trunk of the peach tree demon: "The Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique? You are Chen Changsheng's successor?"
