Chapter 4257: Enemy Retreat

A large number of Chaos Beasts ran back the way they came. The Immortals, naturally not wanting to miss such a great opportunity to attack the retreating enemy, all intensified their attacks.

Wang Changsheng moved both of his fists, and with a series of piercing, wind-breaking sounds, massive black fist-shadows shot out, smashing towards the Ape and the Hyena.

The Ape stomped its right foot heavily on the ground. The earth transformed into sand, and countless yellow sand particles surged skyward, flying up with the wind to form a colossal yellow wall behind it.

A tearing sound filled the air as a multitude of white ice spears shot forth, striking the yellow wall one after another, causing it to shatter into pieces.

The Ape submerged into the ground, activating the Law of Earth to escape. Meanwhile, the Hyena's body swayed, and dense sharp quills shot out, meeting the black fist-shadows.

With a thunderous roar, the quills destroyed many of the black fist-shadows. However, there were simply too many, and some of them smashed into the Hyena's body, causing it to tremble.

Five thick red light beams successively struck the Hyena, producing three muffled thuds.

A gigantic white seal descended from the sky, crashing onto the Hyena's body.

With a tremendous crash, the gigantic white seal plunged into the ground, shaking the earth and mountains.

The ground violently vibrated, and large cracks appeared. Rolling flames surged from underground, melting the earth. Centered around the white giant seal, an area spanning hundreds of thousands of miles transformed into a sea of crimson magma.

The Hyena flew out from the magma and rushed into the distance at great speed.

The eight-colored Chaos Beasts were relatively difficult to deal with, and Wang Changsheng didn't want to reveal too many of his trump cards. He ignored the Hyena and instead focused on slaying the seven-colored Chaos Beasts at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

Wang Ruyan controlled the Azure Dragon, and five top-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannons fired simultaneously, attacking the seven-colored Chaos Beasts.

Sun Lu felt a strong sense of dread. He quickly formed a hand seal, and the golden flying boat flew back the way it came.

A large number of white snowflakes drifted down from high altitude. These snowflakes transformed into white ice blades, each over a hundred zhang long, slashing towards Sun Lu.

Sun Lu's right hand glowed intensely red. He clapped his hand towards the void above his head, and a crimson giant palm, wreathed in magma, flashed forth, destroying the incoming white ice blades.

A golden giant fist shot forth. Sun Lu changed his hand seal, and the top-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannon immediately fired, unleashing a thick red light beam that destroyed the golden giant fist.

The crimson giant palm was overwhelming; the white ice blades vanished instantly before even touching it.

One white ice blade emitted a dazzling white light, slicing the crimson giant palm to pieces, and headed directly for Sun Lu.

A powerful binding force suddenly appeared, trapping Sun Lu in mid-air. With no escape, he opened his mouth and spat out eighteen glittering golden flying knives, which instantly merged into one, forming a gigantic, glittering golden blade that rose to meet the attack.

That wasn't all. He then conjured a golden orb and a red orb, which circled him once before transforming into a thick golden-red light barrier, protecting him.

The white ice blade collided with the golden giant blade. The golden giant blade shattered instantly, as if made of paper, and the golden-red light barrier also failed to stop the white ice blade.

Sun Lu was sliced in half by the white ice blade, an expression of disbelief on his face. A Nascent Soul, closely resembling Sun Lu, flew out of his body, then split into a hundred, flying in different directions.

Fairy Liuyun quickly formed a hand seal, and the white ice blade immediately emitted a dazzling white light. Over a hundred white blade auras swept out, catching up with all the Nascent Souls. Sun Lu perished completely.

Fairy Liuyun flew over and put away the golden flying boat. This top-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannon now belonged to her.

With a single-hand gesture, the white ice blade flew back into her hand.

This Frostfall Blade was refined with a Primordial Spirit Treasure, its power far surpassing that of ordinary top-grade Immortal artifacts.

At this moment, Wang Changsheng and the others had also destroyed the seven-colored Chaos Beasts at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

After this battle, two Grand Unity Golden Immortals were injured, while eleven Grand Unity Golden Immortal Chaos Beasts and one Grand Unity Golden Immortal Pseudo-Immortal were slain. Two eight-colored Chaos Beasts managed to escape. In addition, many Golden Immortal Chaos Beasts were also eliminated, and the Immortals suffered considerable losses.

The Immortal Armored Army lost over five thousand troops while slaying tens of thousands of Chaos Beasts. Achieving such a significant victory was largely due to the hundreds of mid-grade Immortal Annihilation Cannons and dozens of mid-grade Immortal Annihilation Arrows.

If Wang Changsheng hadn't arrived with the Yellow-grade Immortal warship, they wouldn't have repelled the Chaos Beasts' attack so smoothly, and their losses would have been even greater.

"Fellow Daoist Wang," Cao Yuanxing said, "having been separated for just three days, I now see you with new eyes!"

Cao Yuanxing said with an envious tone.

Wang Changsheng possessed top-grade Immortal artifacts and a Yellow-grade Immortal warship. Most importantly, he had mastered the Law of Soul.

How many Grand Unity Golden Immortals could withstand a perfected Law of Soul head-on?

The eight-colored Chaos Beasts had powerful physical bodies that ordinary top-grade Immortal artifacts could hardly inflict severe damage upon, yet facing the Law of Soul, they were still subdued and killed.

"I obtained some opportunities on the Myriad Immortals Continent," Wang Changsheng explained with a smile. His gaze swept over Lin Tianba, Jin Xin, and Yanyu.

Lin Tianba and the other two had expressions of deep apprehension in their eyes. To be fair, they were not confident they could defeat Wang Changsheng.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Wang's opportunities were significant, acquiring a Yellow-grade Immortal warship," Fairy Liuyun said enviously.

"Fairy Ye's opportunities were also considerable; your top-grade Immortal artifact is quite powerful," Wang Changsheng said with a slight smile, complimenting her.

Fairy Liuyun had also perfected her laws and cultivated to the peak True Spirit stage. Her Frostfall Blade even had a Primordial Spirit Treasure refined into it.

"It was merely good luck," Fairy Liuyun replied. "That Fellow Daoist Wang comprehended the Law of Soul is truly admirable and cause for celebration! Guangting has also advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, but he is still cultivating in seclusion on Liuyun Island, and his strength is far inferior to yours, Fellow Daoist Wang."

The Ye family currently had two Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Fairy Liuyun and the other two Grand Unity Golden Immortals jointly managed Liuyun City, but as her strength was greater, she received the larger share of resources. In the cultivation world, strength speaks for itself.

While all were Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Fairy Liuyun, Wang Changsheng, and Cao Yuanxing had advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage less than a million years ago. Yet, Wang Changsheng and Fairy Liuyun's strength was no less than that of veteran Grand Unity Golden Immortals like Lin Tianba and Jin Xin.

"This time, it was also thanks to Fellow Daoist Wang's timely arrival," said Nangong Yuexue. "Otherwise, several fellow Daoists would surely have perished. Fellow Daoist Wang's physical body far surpasses that of other peak True Spirits; he was able to contend with the eight-colored Chaos Beasts in close combat without suffering any damage."

A peak True Spirit advancing further becomes an Immortal Body. The closer one is to an Immortal Body, the stronger their physical body becomes.

Generally, Grand Unity Golden Immortals who have cultivated to the peak True Spirit stage have no problem engaging seven-colored Chaos Beasts at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage in physical combat, but they cannot compare to eight-colored Chaos Beasts.

Wang Changsheng had just fought with the Falcon and emerged completely unharmed, indicating that his physical body was extremely powerful.

"I obtained a kind of immortal pill on the Myriad Immortals Continent, and after taking it, my physical body was greatly enhanced," Wang Changsheng fabricated a reason. After he survived the lightning tribulation, the nine-colored immortal light had strengthened his physical power.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Madam Jin, Madam Yan," Cao Yuanxing asked with a hint of mockery, "during the last meeting, what did you all say about Fellow Daoist Wang?"

The stronger Wang Changsheng's power became, the happier Cao Yuanxing was, as the Cao family now had a powerful ally.
