Chapter 550 - 364: Land Immortal! Surprises Await on the Old Emperor!

Chapter 550: Chapter 364: Land Immortal! Surprises Await on the Old Emperor!

Lu Xuan’s gaze swept over the twisted and deformed runes on the well’s edge, then the phantom dragons around him surged wildly.

This seemingly ordinary dry well was actually the source of the entire ghost town’s malevolent aura.

The icy chill emanating from the well made even him, a being akin to a martial arts Grandmaster, restless.

This was no ordinary ghostly entity; it must be the culprit behind the death of Qianfu Town’s residents.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a dull crashing sound came from the bottom of the well.

The entire ancient well began to shake violently, the moss on its walls instantly withered, and debris fell.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to freeze.

The evil aura gushing out from the well twisted wildly in the air, finally condensing into a ghostly face that covered the sky.

The wrinkled visage of an old hag was as large as a hundred yards, with thick black blood flowing in each crease.

Hollow eye sockets burned with ghostly green flames.

The next moment, hundreds of phantom dragons roared in unison, their dragon cries collapsing the surrounding buildings.

Lu Xuan gently raised his hand, and his palm burst forth with dazzling golden light, sending hundreds of phantom dragons shooting skyward like a heavenly river pouring down.

The ground of Qianfu Town shook violently, the stone slabs cracking inch by inch.

The ghostly face let out a piercing shriek, countless black shadows emerging from the well to form various fierce ghostly creatures in the air.

They screamed and roared, charging at the golden torrent continuously.

The instant the two forces collided in mid-air——

"Sizzle!" A tooth-aching corrosive sound rang out.

Those ferocious ghostly creatures, like moths to a flame, were reduced to ashes in the golden light.

The old hag’s ghostly face emitted a wretched howl as its features began to twist and melt, black blood pouring down like torrential rain.

Lu Xuan’s brow slightly furrowed, the golden radiance in his palm even more intense, he wouldn’t give this ghostly entity a chance.

Wa! Wa! Wa...

Suddenly, an unnerving baby’s cry emanated from the well, its shrillness inhuman, carrying a chilling malice.

Soon after, four shadowy figures sprang from the well like lightning..... they were four ghostly infants with cyan-purple bodies!

Their jet-black pupils devoid of whites, mouths filled with saw-like teeth, and fingers with hooked nails reflecting an eerie green light.

The four ghostly infants suddenly let out a piercing "giggle," then lunged at Lu Xuan from bizarre angles.

Lu Xuan didn’t even bother to lift an eyelid, casually flicked his left hand in its crimson-purple sleeve.

Four phantom dragons materialized on cue, their mouths wide open as the golden light surged.

The "sizzle" was like boiling water splashing on snow, the four ghostly infants reduced to ashes without even having a chance to scream.

Their terrifying faces frozen in the final moment of fear.

These ghostly entities seemed finally aware——they had provoked a terrifying being.

Ants, no matter how many......are still ants after all.

Lu Xuan ascended into the air, the golden light around him like a rising sun.

With each step he took, a golden ripple expanded in the void, as if forming a stairway to heaven.

Hundreds of phantom dragons behind him roared in unison, their bodies swelling in the wind, turning into hundred-yard-long giant dragons in the blink of an eye.

They spiraled and intertwined, their scales flowing with golden essence, their dragon whiskers stirring up gusts of wind!

The old hag’s ghostly face shrieked sharply, spewing out overwhelming black fog.

Countless fierce ghostly faces surfaced in the fog, each filled with bone-chilling malice.

Yet——

"Destroy." Lu Xuan uttered softly, hundreds of phantom dragons simultaneously opened their devouring mouths.

The brilliant golden light poured down like a river from the heavens, where it passed the black fog melted like snow.

The old hag’s ghostly face twisted and distorted, emitting unwilling wails, but ultimately unable to withstand this divine might.

Such a ghostly entity akin to a martial arts Grandmaster at its peak was a rarity, there was no way Lu Xuan would leave it an opportunity to escape.

Immediately, Lu Xuan’s right hand clenched into a fist, the myriad of dragons suddenly converged into a towering pillar of light, trapping the old hag’s ghostly face within.

Chilling howls emanated from the pillar of light, but soon......turned into whimpers of despair.

With the last trace of golden light fading away, not a speck of the old hag’s ghostly face remained in the sky.

Lu Xuan stood in the air, his crimson-purple robe fluttering as if a celestial being had descended to the world.

He slowly lifted his right hand, in his palm, strands of golden essence coiled and entwined like swimming dragons.

The brilliant golden light illuminated his indifferent face, turning the whole sky golden.

"Go." He softly commanded, and the surging golden essence in his palm suddenly streamed forth.

Countless thread-like strands of golden light fell like spring rain.

Each strand precisely targeted the remnants of the evil aura in Qianfu Town.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

The eerie sound of corrosion echoed incessantly.

The specters hiding in the ruins corners were exposed, turning into wisps of green smoke in the gold light.

The black blood pooled on the streets began to boil and evaporate.

The twisted faces on the walls let out a last wail, then also returned to peace.

Lu Xuan overlooked this holy "baptism," his eyes devoid of sorrow or joy.

The golden energy in his palm seemed endless, continuously purifying the cursed small town.

When the last wisp of evil aura dissipated, a miracle happened.

A clear spring gushed from the dry well, and tender green shoots sprouted among the ruins.

The long-missed sunlight pierced through the clouds, cascading onto the reborn land.....

Lu Xuan cast an indifferent glance at the kneeling crowd outside the town—Wei Yuanlang and other officials trembled, while the entourage of Emperor Wenjing appeared utterly terrified.

His eyes flickered with a hint of a strange color, then he turned around and transformed into a streak of golden light, vanishing into the sky in an instant.

"That... Crown Prince?"

Wei Yuanlang raised his head in bewilderment, seeing only the empty sky where Lu Xuan had been.

The luxurious eight-horse chariot remained parked in place, and the accompanying palace attendants and guards looked at each other, all at a loss for what to do.

"My lord.... this...."

An official stammered, "Why did the Crown Prince... even abandon the chariot?"

Wei Yuanlang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, shivered as he gazed in the direction Lu Xuan had left.

He vaguely realized that this Crown Prince, who had suddenly displayed sky-piercing cultivation, had probably long since transcended the bonds of mundane rites....

Meanwhile, on a solitary peak a hundred miles away, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged in a hidden cave.

A flickering system panel floated before him, his lips curled into a smile of anticipation: "It’s time... to truly elevate myself."

"Deduction!"

The once silent cave suddenly burst with golden light, illuminating the interior as if it were forged of gold.

Seven days later, the weather on the solitary peak changed dramatically.

The thousand-pound boulder blocking the cave mouth first revealed web-like golden patterns, then emitted dazzling golden light from within.

In an instant, a thunderous roar shook the ground, the boulder turned to powder.

Amidst the overwhelming golden brilliance, a figure stepped out slowly.

With each step Lu Xuan took, a phantom golden dragon bloomed beneath his feet.

Swish! Swish! Swish.....

His form flickered, moving a step forward, appearing miles away in an instant.

This was a true sign of transcending the mortal world—Land Immortal Realm!

Lu Xuan stood with hands behind his back in the clouds, overlooking the vast earth.

"Still not enough...."

The power of a Land Immortal was still insufficient for him to probe the Power of Origin of this world.

Lu Xuan looked in the direction of the palace, where the old emperor should have unexpected surprises.

As Lu Xuan schemed against the emperor, the other nine princes rarely gathered together to collaboratively discuss how to deal with him.

"That old rascal Peng Lie has been imprisoned by an imperial decree from the Father Emperor."

"Our good eldest brother... seems to have lost his protection now!"
