Chapter 673 – Overwhelm
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Xuan had an appalling number of spells meant for dealing with overwhelming numbers of opponents, making him unafraid of being ganged up on like that. Even if there were twice or even thrice as many pirates, he could dispose of all of them in a short amount of time.
It was utterly impossible to wear him down using measures meant for dealing with the common types of fighters at the Divine Transformation Realm.
His born Taoism aptitude allowed his body to recover at a frightening rate, which basically allowed him to instantly recover how much energy he spent.
The only way for someone to be able to take him down was through the use of forbidden arts.
There were times where the difference in physique alone was already enough for one to score an overwhelming victory without even needing to take the difference in talents into account.
It was just like how an adult ant would not have been able to take on a tiger cub. The difference between the two would only grow bigger as the tiger cub grew stronger.
In the world of cultivation, some people could never close the difference in talents and physique.
It didn’t matter whether or not someone succeeded from their own powers or luck. Anyone who managed to make it to the Divine Transformation Realm had achieved a considerable feat.
Such people were believed to possess formidable talents, yet they were still far too inferior to Lu Xuan.
If these people were to be considered special, then Lu Xuan was the most special among them.
Boom!
That old man in blood-red attire appeared right before Lu Xuan.
His speed was unparalleled. He was moving at a speed that was impossible for others to reach.
That old man in blood-red clothing used all of his might. The blood wolf apparition that appeared behind him was none other than his primordial spirit.
The fact that he unleashed his primordial spirit as soon as he came up spoke volumes of his intentions of overwhelming Lu Xuan.
Cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm were capable of completely overwhelm those at the Divine Treasure Realm thanks to the overwhelming might of their primordial spirits.
That was a completely different level of power altogether.
Xue Wushang was so badly beaten by Lu Xuan before he was unable to even materialize his primordial spirit.
Apparently, the old man had taken the lesson to heart. From there, he vowed to never make the same mistake again.
That blood wolf primordial spirit instantly arrived in front of Lu Xuan.
It moved so fast that no one could react in time.
Lu Xuan watched as the massive blood-red wolf, who seemed seven to eight meters tall, charged at him.
At that moment, that old man was practically that massive blood wolf itself.
“What petty tricks. Now you’ll learn just how different massive the difference between us is.”
Everyone heard a dragon roar. A massive dragon rose from behind him, swiping down and pinning that massive blood wolf on the ground immediately.
That massive dragon had a golden body. Its scales looked lifelike, making the dragon appear extremely overbearing. To make matters worse, it was more than twice as huge as the blood wolf.
Despite being of the same level, the old man’s primordial spirit was only about seven to eight meters tall. In contrast, the golden dragon that Lu Xuan materialized was twice that size; that was at least the same size as someone at tier four of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Boom!
That blood wolf was pinned to the ground, immediately creating a massive crater underneath.
That blitzing speed at which the wolf charged was halted abruptly, like how a person was slapped to the ground.
It was the clash between primordial spirits between two cultivators of the same level, yet that old man was downright overwhelmed.
That was when he lost the clash.
Everyone could see how different the two sides were.
Once that massive blood wolf primordial spirit was pinned to the ground by that massive dragon primordial spirit, the old man’s original form was revealed.
The old man shouted, “Soul-crusher Blood Claw!”
He unleashed a claw attack at Lu Xuan. The bloodied energy tore through the sky and came right before Lu Xuan.
Everyone then saw Lu Xuan doing nothing but slapping it aside right away.
The terrifying attack was immediately torn apart midair right once Lu Xuan’s slap connected, which then proceeded to hit that old man.
That old man did not show any signs of fear. A bloody aura gathered around him, making him seem like some kind of bloody devil.
Boom!
The slap clashed with the blood claw in midair, causing the space around it to tremble violently.
Everyone around then heard cracking sounds. It became evident that the old man had already lost. The old man was sent flying right away, spinning midair for quite a bit before he could steady himself.
His entire arm became limp from the clash.
Despite having clashed directly with Lu Xuan just once, he was already at a complete disadvantage and sustained grievous injuries.
His entire arm was instantly busted.
“That’s really something. No matter how you look at it, his strength is overwhelming.”
The Great Ancestors of the families watched that scene unfold in shock. They saw how that old man, who was the previous leader of the Blood Wolf Pirates, was so utterly helpless when against Lu Xuan.
Be it in terms of the might of their primordial spirits or pure physical attacks, that old man was no match for Lu Xuan, who had slaughtered him with ease.
After landing, the old man had to take several steps back before he could truly regain his balance. He panted heavily in the process.
At first, he did not think much of Lu Xuan. Now, it took only a single attack to show how utterly helpless he was against Lu Xuan.
Confused, the old man asked, “You’re also at the second tier of the Divine Transformation Realm?”
He knew just how impossibly difficult it was for one to make a breakthrough into the second tier of The Divine Transformation Realm where they were. He had spent his entire life dedicating himself to cultivation only to slightly extend his lifespan when he made a breakthrough into the second tier of The Divine Transformation Realm in old age.
Otherwise, he would’ve died by now, just as many people expected to have been the case.
That old man was exactly why the Blood Wolf Pirate agreed to cooperate with those of Tianhe so willingly and without hesitation.
He was just too old. While that didn’t mean he would die almost immediately, his days were still numbered.
Only the longevity medicine made of longevity grass would enable him to extend his lifespan.
Then, there was the matter of sharing it with those of Tianhe.
The ones of Tianhe were simply too naïve; he would have simply slaughtered them all along the way when he got the goods.
Disposing of such people wouldn’t have been much of a problem for him.
Even so, the intelligence that the pirates gathered was completely different from what was actually happening in the Xu Clan. Not only was that old monster Lu not severely injured as the information had said, but he was also at the second tier of the Divine Transformation Realm level.
Such a level of powers was every bit on par with his, which was why he was so wary of Lu Xuan.
More importantly, Lu Xuan looked too young, and not just in terms of looks. Lu Xuan was truly young. The aura that Lu Xuan emanated was so terrifying that one would be concerned if they were burned to a crisp after standing right in front of him.
The way that old man saw it, Lu Xuan, who was then standing high in the night sky, seemed more like a sun instead of a human being.
