Chapter 3734: Fierce Battle Against a Strong Enemy

In a vast blue sea, a streak of azure light swiftly streaked across the sky, with a trail of grey light following close behind.

"He's only an early True Immortal cultivator; how can his immortal energy be so abundant?" The young woman in purple frowned, speaking her thoughts aloud. She had expected to quickly overtake Wang Changsheng, but after nearly fifteen minutes of pursuit, she still hadn't caught up. She knew well that she had opened three spiritual apertures, giving her significantly deeper immortal energy reserves than an early True Immortal.

"The problem must be his flying immortal artifact," the man in the green robe analyzed. "Perhaps it was crafted by a master, as its flight speed is much faster than the Yin Moon Boat. Still, he is merely an early True Immortal, so he won't be able to escape far."

With a flick of his right hand, a small, shimmering green bell appeared in his palm. A hideous鬼脸 was carved into its surface. He flicked his wrist, and the green bell flew from his grasp, blurring before vanishing from sight. The next moment, an azure light blazed high in the sky, and the green bell reappeared.

"CLANG!" A resounding bell tone reverberated as the green bell rapidly expanded in size, descending to cover its target.

The sea surface churned violently, and a massive water-spout surged skyward, striking the giant green bell and sending it flying.

Six shimmering immortal artifacts, including a tombstone-shaped one, flew rapidly towards the young woman in purple and the young man in green.

The young man in green wore a mocking expression. With a raise of his right hand, a miniature azure cauldron flew forth. He cast a spell, and the cauldron rapidly grew in size, revealing a fierce, two-horned ghost pattern embossed on its surface. The giant azure cauldron spewed forth a stream of azure light, moving to intercept. Wang Ruyan and the others instinctively knew something was wrong. Just as they prepared to maneuver their immortal artifacts away, the ghostly pattern on the cauldron's surface animated, letting out a piercing wail. Upon hearing the sound, they instantly felt dizzy and disoriented, their bodies swaying precariously, almost plummeting from the sky.

The six immortal artifacts were engulfed by the azure light and swept into the giant azure cauldron. The man in green wore a triumphant expression. This Azure Ghoul Cauldron, which he had acquired from an ancient cultivator's cave, was specifically designed to capture enemy immortal artifacts, effectively weakening their power. Since obtaining this low-grade immortal artifact, it had proven invaluable, contributing to the deaths of numerous True Immortal cultivators at his hands.

A wave of golden flames surged forth, tearing through the void and causing vast amounts of seawater to evaporate.

The young woman in purple flipped her right hand; a flash of violet light, and a small, shimmering violet mirror appeared in her palm. She infused it with immortal energy. The surface of the violet mirror shone brightly, spewing forth a stream of violet flames to meet the incoming attack. The violet flames collided with the golden flames, instantly dissipating.

"Golden Crow True Fire!" the young woman in purple exclaimed, a hint of surprise in her voice. Ordinary flames would have been easily defeated by those from her Violet Blazemirror.

She clapped her right hand towards the void before her, and a massive violet palm materialized, smashing the golden flames to smithereens. Above their heads, a blue light illuminated the void as a talisman, emanating an unsteady blue glow and covered in enigmatic runes, materialized. It was a Tier-One Immortal Talisman: the Four Seas Immortal Lock Talisman – a talisman designed to trap enemies.

Wang Changsheng had long anticipated such a scenario, having purchased several Tier-One Immortal Talismans in advance for emergencies. Now, they proved perfectly useful.

The azure treasure boots on the green-robed young man's feet blazed with blinding azure light, and he retreated as an afterimage, evading the crimson mist. Just as the young woman in purple was about to evade, a rapid flute melody rang out. She instantly felt dizzy and disoriented, her eyes wide with horror. Despite having opened three spiritual apertures, an early True Immortal cultivator wielding an immortal artifact was actually affecting her.

With a muffled thud, the Four Seas Immortal Lock Talisman burst open. Countless blue runes surged forth, forming four thick blue chains. These chains, covered in enigmatic runes, bound the young woman in purple by her limbs, while their other ends plunged into the seabed. A barrage of diverse magical techniques—including crimson piercing attacks, silver lightning, azure sword qi, white ice pillars, and blue sound waves—swept towards her, threatening to overwhelm the young woman in purple. Simultaneously, a shimmering silver hammer appeared in the void above the young woman in purple. The silver hammer rapidly grew in size, descending directly upon her.

With a gentle flick of her wrist, a violet light burst from the young woman in purple's sleeve, manifesting into a large, purple-robed man with a single violet horn on his head and violet eyes. The terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from him clearly indicated he was a True Immortal cultivator. This was her spirit beast, the Violet Kirin Beast, which possessed the Kirin bloodline, though its purity only reached rank eight. A True Spirit at the True Immortal stage is a completely different concept from a demonic beast at the True Immortal stage; the former is significantly more powerful, with a substantial difference between them.

The large, purple-robed man opened his mouth and unleashed a violet sonic wave, shattering the incoming magical techniques. He then moved both arms, clashing with the giant silver hammer. Two muffled 'thuds' reverberated as the silver hammer was sent flying backward.

Wang Qingshan and his companions controlled their immortal artifacts to attack both the large, purple-robed man and the young woman in purple. The young woman, however, was still constrained by the Four Seas Immortal Lock Talisman, her strength limited to a certain degree.

Intense violet light erupted from the young woman in purple. With her at the center, an area spanning a hundred thousand li transformed into a crimson sea of fire, causing vast amounts of seawater to evaporate.

The Law of Fire! The crimson sea of fire churned violently, and four massive crimson fire dragons materialized. They frantically gnawed at the four blue chains, but to no avail. The runes on the four blue chains flickered ceaselessly. The young woman in purple opened her lips, and nine shimmering violet flying knives shot out, repeatedly striking the four blue chains, producing 'clanking' sounds of metal on metal. For the time being, she remained trapped.

Meanwhile, the man in green saw the young woman in purple ensnared by the Four Seas Immortal Lock Talisman, and his brows furrowed deeply. The void above his head rippled, and a colossal azure hand, emblazoned with a Kirin pattern, materialized. The man in green dissolved into an afterimage, swiftly retreating, causing the colossal hand's attack to miss its target.

"The Law of Speed!" Wang Changsheng frowned. The man in green had mastered the Law of Speed; his reaction time was incredibly fast, making it extremely difficult to eliminate him quickly.

Wang Changsheng changed his spell. The sea surface churned violently, and eighteen thick azure beams of light shot skyward. A colossal azure water barrier materialized, resembling an inverted blue bowl, encasing both the young woman in purple and the large, purple-robed man. Wang Changsheng and his companions were also inside this barrier. The eighteen Sea Stabilizing Pearls were all low-grade immortal artifacts, and this was Wang Changsheng's first time wielding all eighteen against an immortal.

Upon seeing this, the large man in green felt his heart sink, an ominous feeling washing over him. He changed his spell, and the giant azure bell emitted an azure sonic wave, striking the blue water barrier. The barrier rippled slightly but remained completely unharmed. The large man in green pondered for a moment, then raised his right hand. An azure brick flew forth, instantly expanding in size, and hurtled towards the blue water barrier. The colossal azure brick struck the barrier, creating a ripple and causing a temporary indentation, but the barrier quickly returned to normal, repelling the brick.

Inside the blue barrier, an enormous wave surged skyward, engulfing the large, purple-robed man. His body was instantly shredded into a bloody mist by the powerful current. As his essence soul departed his body, it was immediately enveloped by an azure glow and drawn into a giant azure pagoda.

The young woman in purple spat out a large mouthful of essence blood, which infused itself into the nine violet flying knives. The knives blazed with blinding violet light, merging into a single, massive violet blade that instantly shattered the four blue chains. A colossal wave surged towards her, only to be cleaved in two by the massive violet blade.
