Chapter 555: Chapter 217: Reflecting the Heavens, the Immortal Monarch’s Projection Arrives!_2

At this moment, both Dao Taixu felt a sense of urgency rising in their hearts.

One must know that even with their current strengths, facing the Dharma Body of the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch would not result in defeat, but they would certainly not fight as lightly as they do now.

It is even more so if they were to compare their physical bodies. They still have not completely cleansed their corporal bodies into Immortal Bodies. Even compared to Jiemie, the two of them still fall somewhat short, not to mention an entity like the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch.

It’s the same with the Daoist methods. Currently, they are restricted by the level of the Heavenly Sea Dao spirit, unable to comprehend higher levels of Dao.

They are cultivators from future generations. At this time in the world, there’s no path to sainthood. The door leading to the tenth realm is currently closing against all living beings in this world. They can only wait until the Heavenly Dao Sea spirit fully ascends, and then they will ascend in place and transform into Saints!

However, what they did not expect was something they had been striving so long for but had not caught a glimpse of was now made manifest in a young individual. This was truly unbelievable.

Yet, they had no choice but to believe it!

Nothing else needed to be said, the intense raging battles that have been happening under the heavenly vault certainly couldn’t be fake!

"Humph, young one, it’s time to end this. Take this ultimate attack from me. Today, I will be sending you to the underworld!"

Boom~!

At this moment, in the heavenly vault, a huge terror was brewing in the midst of the chaotic fight between Chen Chang’an and the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch, which caused the latter to suddenly laugh.

The smile on Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch’s face was rather unsettling, as if he already had the winning ticket.

Throughout his confrontation with Chen Chang’an, he was also setting up everything.

This body of his is only a Dharma Body, and that too of a temporary kind materialized from rune spells. Although it could exhibit part of his true strength, it had too many limitations and could only exist for a brief period of time.

With just these powers, he could never kill Chen Chang’an.

Yes, as reluctant as he was to admit it, the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch had to concede that this Dharma Body of his was indeed unable to annihilate Chen Chang’an.

This was not to boost Chen Chang’an’s prestige, but merely a statement of fact!

After a fierce battle, the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch found out that this mortal from the Lower Realm, despite not having stepped into the tenth realm, was infinitely close in terms of his mastering of the Dao. Within him, the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch also vaguely sensed an even more powerful and brilliant force.

He didn’t know what that force was, but he knew for certain that if it were to burst out, his Dharma body that was present today would most likely perish right here.

Creating a Dharma Body wasn’t easy. Even with the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch’s strength, he could only produce a maximum of three, each carrying a portion of his Divine Soul.

If these Dharma Bodies get destroyed, his real body will receive some impact.

Therefore, the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch started to strategize.

He had two plans in mind.

One was to fight Chen Chang’an with all his might, hoping to expose his weak spot and capture him in one fell swoop, thus avoiding more troublesome situations later on.

The other plan was to gather the coordinates of this world while bombarding Chen Chang’an, so that a projection of his real body could come down.

This plan was risky but also the safest.

The projection of his real body would essentially mean that the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch himself would arrive.

Once the real body arrived, no matter how formidable Chen Chang’an was, he would eventually have to surrender!

The Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch carried out both plans simultaneously. Regrettably, just as he had predicted, the first plan didn’t work.

In the end, he had no choice but to implement the second plan.

He used this Dharma Body as a decoy, mirroring the heavens, to bring forth the projection of his real body!

At this moment, the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch had completed linking the projection channels, and his real body’s projection could come at any moment!

"Young man, it was a pleasure to do battle with you today. However, I always dislike obedient children, so today, I am afraid I must send you to your doom."

With the situation well in hand, the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch appeared relaxed. As he looked at Chen Chang’an, his eyes were full of benevolence, as though he were looking at a doomed man!

In response to the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch’s words, Chen Chang’an merely smiled. He retracted the Daoist methods surrounding him and stood with his hands behind his back, calmly saying:

"Oh? Is that so?"

"I’m going to die? Why wasn’t I aware?"

The Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch laughed: "Of course, you wouldn’t know. The methods of us invincibles are not for you to fathom."

It could be seen that the Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch was incredibly pleased at this moment, his usually stern face even broke into a smile!

It was only natural. After all, the favorite pastime of Ancient Ling, the Immortal Monarch, for thousands of years has been hunting down talented individuals. It gave him an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and pleasure.

Hum, hum, hum~!

"Heaven reflects everything. Everything is silent. Boy, it’s time to welcome my arrival."

The next moment, a sudden ripple emerged around Ancient Ling, and then a black hole appeared out of nowhere behind him.

Inside the black hole, terrifying principles of the Great Dao surged. Its might dominated thousands of miles, and it seemed like something was crossing realms to arrive.

"Youngster, you didn’t expect it, did you? I’m projecting myself here today. Enjoy these last few seconds of life."

...

"Isn’t that the guy from the Abyss? It’s been a long time since I last saw him. I didn’t expect him to have reached the level of the Immortal Monarch."

"But after all these years, he’s still as arrogant and egotistical as ever. Even on the brink of death, he is completely unaware. It’s laughable."

Screech~

In a delicately decorated two-story loft on Tianshui Sect’s back mountain, a previously locked window was suddenly pushed open, exposing a woman dressed in a pink robe, with a proud and beautiful face.

This woman was none other than Xian Yurong, who had been temporarily living in Chen Chang’an’s loft.

Leaning on the window sill with her chin resting on her hand, Xian Yurong was looking at Ancient Ling, who was laughing wildly in the sky. There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Some may watch for entertainment, but others scrutinize for the details.

Anyone watching the battle in the sky would think that Ancient Ling would ultimately win, but Xian Yurong thought differently.

As someone who was once at the level of an Immortal Monarch, she could clearly see that while Ancient Ling was preparing, Chen Chang’an was also setting up his own strategy.

Furthermore, the strategy that Chen Chang’an was setting up was much larger than that of Ancient Ling’s!

This Chen Chang’an, he was planning to slay the immortal!

"Who exactly is this guy? Could it be that he too, has fallen into this mundane world in search of a breakthrough?"

For a moment, Xian Yurong couldn’t help but doubt Chen Chang’an’s identity. After all, he was just too remarkably talented.

So talented that he didn’t seem to be human at all!

Hum, hum, hum~!

At this time, in the heavens above, the black hole behind Ancient Ling continued to evolve.

The shadow inside became more and more solid.

This shadow was too terrifying. It had not even appeared yet, but it was like it was carrying a galaxy on its back. Just standing there, though the aura surrounding it was only drifting slightly, it gave the impression of a great world rising and falling.

One could vaguely see that it was a human figure who, alone, dominated all through eternity!

"My God, what is that?!"

Seeing this figure, all creatures in the Wuxiang realm were terrified.

The momentum brought by Ancient Ling was too grand, so horrifying even before his projection had completed. People could not imagine how terrifying it would be once his projection was complete!

When that time comes, perhaps Heaven and Earth will collapse!

Chen Chang’an also noticed the figure Ancient Ling had summoned.

Everyone was numb. From the aura, they were absolutely sure, that figure was undoubtedly the main body of Ancient Ling, the Immortal Monarch.

In other words, a true tenth stage Immortal Monarch was about to descend into this realm??!

My god, given the current strength of the barrier of the Wuxiang realm, can it accommodate the arrival of a real tenth-stage Immortal Monarch?

"Youngster, how about it? You still have one chance to submit to me, otherwise, die!" Ancient Ling laughed again. He glanced at his projection crossing realms, then at Chen Chang’an, confident and assured.

However, in response to Ancient Ling’s words, Chen Chang’an calmly gave him a disdainful smile.

"Haha, sir, before asking me, could you possibly check behind yourself first before making a decision?"

Chen Chang’an signaled for Ancient Ling to look behind him because there, a spectacular drama was being enacted!
