Chapter 1138: Chapter 828: That Sword is Definitely a Sky-grade Spirit Sword!
Under the threat of Shao Liangji, the other four Huashen Realm Cultivators of the Lieyan World had no choice but to release their Law Manifestations as well.
At this moment, Lie Haoyan thought to himself that although the power of the Returning Ruin Realm was formidable, the aura of Empress Xia and her Protector was unstable, suggesting that even if they had broken through to the Returning Ruin Realm, it was very likely they had done so recently or had sustained severe injuries and had not yet recovered.
If he could have his five Huashen Realm allies stall for him, plus the two Earth Rank treasures he accidentally acquired before, perhaps he could escape.
After escaping, he would seek asylum in some Super Force from another High-level World and then reveal to that Super Force the news of treasures in the Tianchen World.
As long as he remained alive, the Lieyan Dynasty would once again be his. As for what would happen to his descendants, that was of no concern to him. As long as he wasn't dead, the Lieyan Dynasty still existed, and the death of his descendants was of little consequence.
Once his descendants perished, he could simply produce new offspring. For him, survival was paramount, and anything could be sacrificed to achieve that end.
Seeing Lie Haoyan and the others prepared for a desperate fight, Yin Zhengye immediately said to Lu Chen, "Your Majesty, allow this subordinate to annihilate them!"
Lu Chen indifferently uttered a single word, "Good," and upon hearing Lu Chen's reply, Yin Zhengye did not hesitate for a moment and once again summoned the Black Dragon Law Idol.
The instant the Black Dragon Law Idol appeared, the nearby cultivators in the void felt an immense pressure.
The next moment, the Black Dragon Law Idol flew out from above Yin Zhengye, heading straight for Lie Haoyan and the others. Seeing this, before Lie Haoyan could say anything, Shao Liangji immediately shouted, "Everyone, attack together!"
As soon as his voice fell, everyone unleashed their own Law Manifestation Power.
However, when the Black Dragon Law Idol collided with their Law Manifestations, it instantly shattered them, and the few Huashen Realm Cultivators immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Their faces were filled with terror. Was this the power of the Returning Ruin Realm?
They were completely unable to defend against it. What should they do now? Were they all destined to die here?
As the Black Dragon Law Idol drew nearer, Lie Haoyan suddenly took out a small pagoda from his Space Ring, which instantly grew to an immense size.
When the Black Dragon Law Idol collided with the tip of the pagoda, it could no longer advance. Witnessing this, the Huashen Realm Cultivators next to Lie Haoyan were ecstatic, never expecting Emperor Lie to possess such a treasure.
To think that the pagoda could withstand the attack of a Returning Ruin Realm powerhouse.
Seeing that Lie Haoyan had blocked his attack, Yin Zhengye frowned and then gathered his Spiritual Power to once again drive the Black Dragon Law Idol, which looked straight up and spewed a breath of black flame toward the Golden Tower in front of Lie Haoyan.
Yet this still did not injure Lie Haoyan.
Lu Chen evaluated the Golden Tower above Lie Haoyan's head and then asked in his mind, "System, what rank is that pagoda?"
In fact, Lu Chen had almost determined the rank of that Spiritual Artifact, but he wasn't yet entirely sure.
At this moment, the system answered, "Pseudo Heaven-Rank Spiritual Instrument."
This…
He had guessed it was an upper Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact, but was there really such a thing as a Pseudo Heaven-Rank?
The system continued, "A Pseudo Heaven-Rank Spiritual Instrument possesses power close to that of a lower Heaven-Rank, but it doesn't match up to a true Heaven Grade Spiritual Weapon."
Lu Chen thought to himself that he didn't need reminding, as anything with "Pseudo" in its name naturally didn't stack up to the real thing.
But then again, to encounter a Pseudo Heaven-Rank Spiritual Instrument in a mid-level Cultivation World?
Would Heaven Grade Spiritual Weapons be commonplace in High-level Cultivation Worlds?
A single Pseudo Heaven-Rank Spiritual Instrument could resist the Law Manifestation Power of a Returning Ruin Realm powerhouse, then if a true Heaven Grade Spiritual Weapon were in the hands of a Huashen Realm Cultivator, they would indeed be quite difficult to handle.
Lu Chen thought no further and directly took out the Godslayer Sword, then said to Yin Zhengye, "Stand down."
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhengye was stunned. In front of Lu Chen, even after donning the Shenghui Armor, he couldn't kill a Huashen Realm cultivator. He felt utterly useless. Yin Zhengye quickly said, "Your Majesty, it's my incompetence!"
Lu Chen spoke indifferently, "It has nothing to do with you. That is a Pseudo Heaven-Rank Spiritual Weapon, not so easily dealt with."
As soon as his words fell, Lu Chen took steps toward Lie Haoyan and his group through the void. Seeing Lu Chen approaching, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Lie Haoyan's mouth. If even Empress Xia's Protector couldn't harm him, how could Empress Xia possibly hurt him?
It seemed that escaping wouldn't be too difficult.
With this thought, Lie Haoyan spurred the Mountain Shaking Pagoda again.
"Suppress!"
As the word "suppress" left Lie Haoyan's mouth, the Mountain Shaking Pagoda instantly unleashed a tremendous oppressive force. The people beside Lie Haoyan couldn't withstand it, each of them coughing up blood.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Mountain Shaking Pagoda seemed to have no effect on Empress Xia, who kept walking toward them.
Empress Xia was wearing the Shenghui Armor and, furthermore, was protected by Origin Power inside her body; such pressures meant nothing to her.
At that moment, Lu Chen raised the Godslayer Sword in his hand. Seeing this sword, Shao Liangji panicked - his clone was slain by this very sword.
Shao Liangji quickly warned, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
No sooner had Shao Liangji finished speaking than Lu Chen swung his Longsword.
Ice-Eight Level Sword!!!
Eight streaks of cold light passed through the Golden Tower, and in the next instant, the Golden Tower was cleaved into several large pieces.
Upon witnessing this scene, Lie Haoyan was completely dumbfounded. In his hand was an Earth Rank top-quality Spiritual Artifact! Even some called this Spiritual Artifact a Pseudo Heaven-Rank Spiritual Instrument, which had just now withstood the Law Manifestation Power of a Returning Ruin Realm expert, and yet couldn't withstand a single sword strike!
How could this be!
Empress Xia is so powerful?
No, it's the sword in Empress Xia's hand!
That sword is definitely a Heaven-Rank Spirit Sword!
This time, Lie Haoyan was utterly panicked. Empress Xia was already a Returning Ruin Realm power, and now she was wielding a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Instrument. How could he stand against her?
No, he shouldn't resist any longer; he must escape as soon as possible.
Immediately turning around, he planned to have Shao Liangji and the others stay to buy time while he escaped alone; however, the next moment, a Spirit Sword suddenly pierced through Lie Haoyan's chest.
Lie Haoyan looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, "Shao Liangji, you!"
After all, Lie Haoyan was a Huashen Realm cultivator. Just one sword strike couldn't kill him. Regaining his composure, Lie Haoyan slapped Shao Liangji, sending him flying backward.
Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh, then said, "What a spectacle of dog-eat-dog strife."
From a distance, Shao Liangji spoke, "Empress Xia, all of this was Lie Haoyan's plan. We were also forced to follow him to Tianchen World. We are willing to pledge our loyalty to you!"
Lie Haoyan burst out laughing and then said, "Shao Liangji, I treated you as a brother, yet you betray me at this moment!"
Shao Liangji said, "You have a clone, but I no longer have one. I absolutely cannot die here."
Huashen Realm cultivators generally have clones, and since Shao Liangji's clone had been slain by Lu Chen, if he died now, that would truly be the end.
But Lie Haoyan was different. Even if Lie Haoyan were to be slain, it would only be one of his clones.
