Aspiring to the Immortal Path

When the Earth Immortal spoke, Tang Jie and Huang Wuji realized how they had been exposed, and they could only curse their rotten luck. Out of all those cultivators, they just had to choose an Earth Immortal's nephew.

Tang Jie was the most remorseful. With his proficiency in Fate, he could have observed the threads of Fate and identified this relationship. But after all those major battles, he didn't have the energy to think about things like that, and this was the result of his neglect.

As the two Earth Immortals attacked, Tang Jie shouted, "Big Brother Huang, let's push our way out!"

As he spoke, he took out Immortal Ji Yao's finger and threw it into the air. The finger turned into a giant pillar that descended toward the pair, radiating an endless power that could make even Earth Immortals tremble.

"This is…" the two Earth Immortals cried out.

They immediately put all their strength into defense, mighty waves of multicolored Immortal energy blasting the finger while Tang Jie did his utmost to unleash the finger's power. Four Earth Immortal hands clashed against a single finger from a Gold Immortal, resulting in a massive explosion of Immortal energy.

The explosion was so intense that even the shockwave had sufficient energy to obliterate the surrounding area. Tang Jie put up the Infinite Palace to defend himself as soon as he could, and Huang Wuji put up his own Immortal barrier.

Even so, the two were thrown back a long distance by the shockwave.

Looking at the center of the explosion, they saw that the two Earth Immortals had been pulverized.

Two hazy figures appeared: the two Earth Immortals, undying and everlasting, being reborn from the ashes.

Tang Jie called back the finger and shouted, "Let's go!"

Sweeping up Xu Miaoran and the others, he activated Nearby Horizon and instantly appeared at the exit, charging right through.

Huang Wuji wasn't as fast as Tang Jie, but he still managed to reach the exit and leave before those two Earth Immortals finished their rebirth.

Once they were back in the outside world, they relaxed a little.

Huang Wuji commented, "Hm? They aren't here?"

Tang Jie replied, "They've already left to chase the Primordial Heavenly Demon."

"How do you know that?"

Tang Jie simply smiled.

He naturally knew, because Yun Tianlan and the Rosecloud group were following right behind them to see if they could get anything good. The Primordial Heavenly Demon was very strong, and since he was feigning defeat and running, he had to have some kind of back-up plan. Thus, by watching from a distance, they might be able to get the belongings of a True Immortal or two.

If not for that, Tang Jie wouldn't have been so insistent on getting out.

As they were talking, the two Earth Immortals finished their rebirth and charged out of the exit.

Tang Jie was unafraid, laughing and saying, "Big Brother Huang, how about I take one and you take one?"

"You?" Huang Wuji said in shock.

Can you do it?

This is an Earth Immortal!

Even if you're at peak Soul Projection, so long as you haven't broken through that threshold, the gap between you and Earth Immortal will remain as that of heaven and earth, as of mortal and cultivator.

But there was no other choice. The two Earth Immortals had already caught up, so Huang Wuji could only try to deal with his opponent first. At the same time, he remembered to occasionally shoot a bolt of energy at Tang Jie's opponent to take some pressure off him.

Tang Jie waved his hand, summoning the Infinite Palace to block the attack from the opposing Earth Immortal, also putting Xu Miaoran and Yiyi within. The three of them attacked from within the palace while Tutu reprised his role as a mount, whisking Tang Jie through the air. Although Tang Jie was now faster than him, he had already consumed too much Space power, so he could only rely on Tutu.

The one opposing Tang Jie was a dark-faced Immortal, and when he saw that Tang Jie's group dared to go on the offensive, he grunted, "Seeking death!"

He thrust a finger at the Infinite Palace.

The finger had previously pulverized him, and while he had recovered, he had consumed a great deal of Immortal power to do so, which left him furious. Now, he naturally wanted to kill Tang Jie in the same way.

But as he thrust out his finger, a mighty figure charged out of the distance, unleashing a heaven-shaking punch.

The immense power of this punch had even the dark-faced Earth Immortal feeling the pressure.

Turning his head, he found that it was another "Hong Qianli", this one featuring bulging muscles rather than the scholarly one he was facing.

In the middle of his shock, Tang Jie's original body unleashed several more punches and flew toward the avatar Tang Jie, the two once more merging together.

"Raaaa!" Tang Jie let out a frenzied howl, a tangible pulse of power radiating out from his body and stunning the three Immortals.

"I get it now," Huang Wuji muttered.

It was no wonder Tang Jie had given off a sense of incompleteness, because he had divided himself into two, one cultivating the body and the other cultivating arts.

Tang Jie had been willing to use the Gold Immortal's finger to get out precisely because he wanted to merge together with his original body. After all, his original body couldn't enter that space without being attacked by the finger, but this was no problem outside of it.

Now that he was his complete self, his strength soared, and he coldly glared at the dark-faced Immortal.

Body cultivators innately possessed a wild and frenzied aura, never fearing their opponent, whoever they were.

As his original body returned, Tang Jie felt a boldness swelling up within him.

He said in a rumbling voice, "An Earth Immortal, right? I'll take you down all the same!"

He took on his three-headed, six-armed form.

The middle head had a hardened and tough appearance, and it commanded the two upper arms: the body cultivator. The left head had a handsome and delicate appearance, and it commanded the middle arms: the law cultivator. The right head had a dignified and enigmatic air, and it controlled the lower arms: the Primal Divinity.

The three heads roared and began to unleash a barrage of punches at the dark-faced Immortal. There was no variation to these punches, all of them simply packed with a seemingly unstoppable power.

The dark-faced Immortal simply sneered. "Courting death!"

He continued to thrust his finger.

He had gathered his Immortal energy on this finger, turning into a giant pillar akin to Immortal Ji Yao's finger. He had been killed by a Gold Immortal's finger once, so he naturally wanted to return the favor.

With a snort, Tang Jie began to wave his six arms around, creating so many ethereal arms that it seemed like he was mimicking the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, instantly launching countless attacks against the finger. In a series of booms, Tang Jie was sent flying, but the Earth Immortal's finger strike also collapsed.

"How could this be?" the dark-faced Immortal gasped. His companion fighting Huang Wuji was also stunned.

Tang Jie laughed. "Have a taste of my fist!"

The six arms came together and unleashed a singular punch against the Earth Immortal: the Devil Crushing Strike!

The Combat Emperor Catalog represented the supreme combat techniques left behind by the Martial Lord, the ideal moves to overcome those above one's level. The War God Mantra, meanwhile, was a law cultivator mantra the Nine Heavens Pearl Lady had created for the Martial Lord to maximize his strength.

To combine the two was to use law cultivation to unleash combat techniques, making the best use of one's power. Moreover, now that Tang Jie had learned how to use two Dao Arts together, he was even more able to use these two together. Originally, Tang Jie had only been able to boost his technique's power by 40% by consuming a set amount of law power, but now, Tang Jie was able to put in as much power as he wanted.

With this Devil Crushing Strike, Tang Jie put in fifty percent of his law power, tripling the Devil Crushing Strike's power, bringing it to a world-destroying level.

The dark-faced Immortal didn't know what he was facing, and when he saw Tang Jie unleash only a single punch, he scoffed and punched back.

As the two fists clashed, the dark-faced Immortal felt a vast torrent energy of engulfing him, instantly devouring his attack and then his body.

"How…" the Immortal shouted before Tang Jie's punch obliterated him.

The two Earth Immortals fighting on the side were dumbfounded.

After unleashing this punch, Tang Jie let out a long breath. While this punch was powerful, it was also a great burden on Tang Jie. Fortunately, Xu Miaoran had already taken out some pills for him. Fifty percent of his law power was no small expenditure, so Yiyi and Xu Miaoran also placed their hands on Tang Jie's back and transferred him energy. The two were too weak to help in combat, but they were immensely useful when it came to maintaining his ability to fight.

In the middle of his break, the dark-faced Immortal began to reform.

"Shit; I knew it would be like this!" Tang Jie helplessly said.

This was what made Immortals so terrifying. Reaching Immortal Platform didn't grant one just greater power. Far more important was that the soul became God and the body became Immortal, allowing one to be undying and everlasting. Tang Jie could kill him once, but he could just come right back. So long as the Primal Divinity was not destroyed and the Immortal Essence remained, one could reforge the Immortal body using Immortal Essence.

This was why Violet Palace experts were never able to kill Immortal Platform experts.

One could say that reaching Violet Palace let one cast ten times faster while reaching Immortal Platform gave one ten more lives, and this was without considering the increases in other aspects.

Who could even fight a battle like that?

Thus, for eons now, there were no examples of Celestial Heart experts defeating Violet Palace experts or Violet Palace experts defeating Immortal Platform experts. The gap was far too big to make up for.

But Tang Jie didn't believe it.

He had already created one miracle, and he planned to create a second.

As the dark-faced Immortal reappeared, Tang Jie laughed and took out the Gold Immortal finger, making it unleash another attack.

The dark-faced Immortal just finished remaking himself when that finger attacked, scaring him out of his wits and pulverizing him before he even had a chance to run.

But after being used three times, the Gold Immortal finger was now almost out of energy and had completely lost its luster.

In the end, this was Immortal Ji Yao's severed finger. Unless it were recharged, it would naturally run out of power from repeated use. If Tang Jie hadn't been holding back this time and instead used it as he had when getting to the exit, it would have shattered.

Right now, it seemed like he could use it one more time.

But Tang Jie didn't mind. As the dark-faced Immortal started the rebirth process, Tang Jie brought his six arms together once more. "Ring Rending Strike, Wave Reversing Strike, Fierce Gale Strike!"

He was using three moves from the Combat Emperor Catalog at once, but this time, he used only 10% of his law power. However, three Combat Emperor Catalog strikes in a row was no less powerful than the Devil Crushing Strike from earlier, and it once more obliterated the dark-faced Immortal.

At this time, the two Earth Immortals standing in the distance were numb from shock.

Everyone was waiting to see how many times Tang Jie could kill the dark-faced Immortal.

This battle seemed to be a contest between an Immortal Platform expert's life force and a top-class Violet Palace expert's offensive might.
