Chapter 2760

The Celestial Weaver's pupils contracted. Wang Changsheng's divine sense was stronger than his, which surprised him.

He made a hand seal, and a gigantic humanoid phantom appeared in the sky above him. More than half of its body shimmered with dazzling red light, appearing almost solid. The Dharma Idol was sixty percent condensed.

A look of triumph appeared on the Celestial Weaver's face. For an early-stage Integration cultivator, a Dharma Idol condensed to sixty percent was quite impressive. Even Madam Tianlei's Dharma Idol was only forty percent condensed.

He performed another hand seal, and the right palm of the humanoid phantom gently struck the void. Countless crimson flames surged out, rapidly coalescing into a vast crimson sea of fire, over a thousand miles wide, emitting astonishing high temperatures.

Vegetation withered and died, black smoke billowed, and fires ignited spontaneously, with flames soaring into the sky.

The crimson sea of fire, carrying terrifying heat, surged directly towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng snorted coldly and activated his Dharma Idol. A gigantic humanoid phantom appeared in the sky above him, its Dharma Idol seventy percent condensed.

The right fist of the humanoid phantom smashed into the void, causing it to vibrate and distort. Countless blue water vapors erupted, forming a boundless azure ocean, also over a thousand miles in size.

A sound like a tsunami echoed as the azure ocean churned with massive waves, rushing to meet the crimson sea of fire.

With a thunderous roar, countless plumes of white mist erupted.

When a cultivator advances to the Integration stage, their meridians expand, allowing more spiritual energy to flow into their body during cultivation, and enabling them to store more magical power.

The *Myriad Ocean Immortal Scripture* excels in its steady progression. As long as one cultivates step by step, there will be no major bottlenecks. Its drawback is its slower cultivation speed.

Cultivating the *Myriad Ocean Immortal Scripture* allows meridians to expand significantly, accommodating more magical power. The process is relatively gentle, but it takes a considerable amount of time.

Wang Changsheng spent over a hundred years just comprehending the cultivation method, and it took him more than five hundred years to reach the nineteenth layer. This cultivation speed is very slow; other cultivation methods wouldn't take this long.

Slow has its advantages, and fast has its advantages.

The longer he cultivated, the deeper Wang Changsheng's magical power became. This is a unique feature of the *Myriad Ocean Immortal Scripture*. At first glance, it seems no different from ordinary cultivation methods, as other cultivators also accrue deeper magical power over time. However, Wang Changsheng would not encounter major bottlenecks, unlike other cultivators who might.

With a loud bang, the crimson sea of fire was engulfed by the azure ocean. The azure ocean churned violently, transforming into a blue flood dragon over a thousand zhang long, which lunged towards the Celestial Weaver.

The Celestial Weaver performed a hand seal, and the humanoid phantom above him opened its mouth, spewing crimson flames that landed on the blue flood dragon. Countless white mists rose, but it was ineffective; the blue flood dragon continued its assault.

Sensing danger, he quickly brought out a red-glowing gourd. He channeled a magic art into it, causing the gourd to expand rapidly and spray forth a crimson, dazzling light that enveloped the blue flood dragon.

The blue flood dragon's massive body writhed relentlessly, tearing the crimson light to shreds. The red gourd was then sent flying by the impact of the blue flood dragon.

The Celestial Weaver took out a constantly red-glowing longbow. Two black-glowing arrows were nocked onto the string, emitting a strong soul power fluctuation.

Soul-Slaying Arrows!

The power of disposable treasures like Soul-Slaying Arrows and Soul-Slaying Beads primarily depends on the size of the Heavenly Soul Stones refined into them.

These two Soul-Slaying Arrows had large amounts of Heavenly Soul Stones refined into them, making it possible to severely wound Integration cultivators, provided the cultivators couldn't evade them.

With two whizzing sounds, the two Soul-Slaying Arrows shot forth, transforming into two streaks of black light that sped directly towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

At the same time, Madam Tianlei activated her Dharma Idol to attack Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Thunderclouds churned violently, and dense silver lightning bolts ripped through the sky, majestically heading straight for Wang Changsheng and his wife.

Madam Tianlei flicked her wrist, and a golden, red, and cyan three-colored lightning arrow appeared in her hand, entirely enveloped by countless electrical arcs.

She shook her wrist, and the three-colored lightning arrow shot out, transforming into a dazzling three-colored lightning beam that flew straight towards Wang Changsheng.

Madam Tianlei produced a shimmering silver command flag. She channeled a magic art into it, causing the silver flag to brighten instantly. A miniature python pattern could be clearly seen on its surface.

The miniature python coiled incessantly as if alive. The silver command flag transformed into a silver lightning python several hundred zhang long, surrounded by countless silver electrical arcs, emanating terrifying magical power fluctuations.

The silver lightning python spewed silver lightning light from its mouth, lunging towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng summoned three Sea Stabilizing Pearls. He performed a hand seal, causing the pearls to rapidly enlarge, releasing countless blue seawater. The blue seawater churned violently, forming layered blue water curtains that shielded their figures.

The dense silver lightning struck the layered water curtains, producing muffled thuds and ripples. The silver lightning python crashed against the blue water curtains, tearing an opening. The two Soul-Slaying Arrows flew through the gap, piercing through Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's bodies.

Their bodies dissolved into countless blue water vapors, vanishing without a trace.

The Celestial Weaver frowned and unleashed his divine sense. Wang Ruyan's figure appeared in the void several hundred miles away, but Wang Changsheng was nowhere to be seen.

A miserable bird cry rang out. The Celestial Weaver sensed something and looked towards the source of the sound. The Golden-Winged Azure-Light Vulture was plummeting from high altitude, its aura weak, entangled by bloody thorns.

Hundreds of thick blue lightning bolts successively struck the Golden-Winged Azure-Light Vulture. The vulture let out a wretched cry, plummeting from the sky and crashing to the ground, creating a massive crater.

Black blood flowed from its body, its aura weakened, and its body slowly dissolved into a pool of blood. The moment its soul left its body, dense blue lightning descended from the sky, instantly pulverizing the Golden-Winged Azure-Light Vulture's soul.

The Celestial Weaver was both shocked and enraged. He had invested a great deal of effort and resources to cultivate it to a mid-grade sixth-tier beast, only for it to be killed by Wang Changsheng's spirit beast.

The phantom of the Lion-Dragon Beast spewed rolling flames, engulfing the body of the Kylin Tortoise, but the flames quickly dissipated.

The Twin-Eyed Rat's body was charred black as if scorched by flames, and the Wood Spirit also bore burn marks. The Fissure Beast fared slightly better.

Just as the Celestial Weaver was about to employ other techniques, vast amounts of blue water vapor appeared in the void for tens of thousands of miles around, rapidly coalescing into a boundless azure ocean. Seawater surged in from all directions.

The Celestial Weaver quickly performed a hand seal. The right palm of the humanoid phantom struck the void, causing countless crimson fiery lights to emerge, forming a gigantic crimson hand that slammed towards the incoming seawater.

With a thunderous roar, white mist diffused, and seawater splashed everywhere. The seawater suddenly solidified, transforming into Wang Changsheng's figure.

The Celestial Weaver opened his mouth and spewed a golden-red flame, emitting terrifying high temperatures, which shot straight towards Wang Changsheng.

A sixth-tier spiritual flame!

Wang Changsheng's reaction was also swift. He opened his mouth and spewed out a snow-blue lotus, which was precisely the Glazed Ice Flame.

The two flames collided, unleashing a powerful air current.

The Celestial Weaver patted his chest. A harsh mechanical sound emanated from him, and red scales materialized out of thin air, forming a red-glowing battle armor that protected his entire body. On his back were a pair of constantly shimmering red feathered wings.

Wang Changsheng's eyes glowed with dazzling blue light as he lunged towards the Celestial Weaver. The Celestial Weaver showed no fear, swinging his arms to meet the attack.

This Crimson Light Battle Armor was a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure he had personally forged, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities. With this treasure, he had once directly confronted a seventh-tier Herculean Golden-Backed Ape. Dealing with Wang Changsheng should pose no problem.

Four fists collided. The Celestial Weaver and Wang Changsheng were both sent flying backward. The Celestial Weaver's face flushed crimson, a trickle of blood spilled from his lips, and he was stunned.

Even while wearing the Crimson Light Battle Armor, he had gained the upper hand in a strength contest against a seventh-tier demonic beast. Yet, he still couldn't surpass Wang Changsheng! How incredibly powerful was Wang Changsheng's physical body?

Before Wang Changsheng had flown far, his body dissipated into specks of blue water vapor.

Madam Tianlei thought of something. Countless silver electrical arcs surged from her body. A man's loud shout rang in her ears, causing the silver electrical arcs on her body to disperse and her head to buzz.

Countless blue water vapors emerged, and Wang Changsheng appeared before Madam Tianlei.

Madam Tianlei's face turned pale with shock. The female phantom above her spewed a thick silver lightning bolt that struck Wang Changsheng, causing his body to go numb.

At the same time, a thick five-colored light barrier appeared around Madam Tianlei's body, its surface filled with countless electrical arcs.

Wang Changsheng's fist struck the five-colored light barrier. Countless electrical arcs surged out, engulfing Wang Changsheng's figure, and the five-colored light barrier shattered.

Madam Tianlei brandished a silver-glowing flying sword, bringing it down upon Wang Changsheng's fist. A dull clang resonated. Madam Tianlei felt an irresistible force and was sent flying backward.

Before she even landed, she hastily cried out, "Fellow Daoist Wang, I admit defeat. You may proceed as you wish with your affairs."

She had only received some benefits for performing a task, not some immense reward like elixirs to aid in advancing to the Mahayana stage or treasures to weaken lightning tribulations. She wasn't willing to risk her life for a mere advantage. She had already realized that Wang Changsheng was far from an ordinary Integration cultivator.

Wang Changsheng looked towards the Celestial Weaver. The Celestial Weaver sighed softly and said solemnly, "I accept defeat. Let's consider our dispute settled here."

The Celestial Weaver also understood. Wang Changsheng had many capabilities: a sixth-tier spiritual flame, a strong physical body, and powerful spirit beasts. Ordinary treasures couldn't harm Wang Changsheng. In a life-and-death battle, he wasn't entirely confident he could eliminate Wang Changsheng.

He hadn't gone all out, reserving his trump cards, and Wang Changsheng was surely doing the same.

Moreover, Wang Ruyan was not to be underestimated. Given enough time to cast her spells, even the Celestial Weaver would be affected. A wise man knows when to yield. Conceding now would minimize his losses.

"That's good," Wang Changsheng said solemnly. "I hope Fellow Daoist Zhang will honor his promise."

"I will rein in the disciples of the Celestial Weaver Sect, and Fellow Daoist Wang must also manage his clan members. Let's consider our past grievances settled. I will send someone to contact you and hand over the Lihuo Crystal Ore Vein to you."

After saying this, the Celestial Weaver put away his treasures and spirit beasts, then departed with Madam Tianlei.

Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. The Celestial Weaver's strength was considerable. In a life-and-death battle, he wasn't certain he could have defeated the opponent.
