Chapter 1053 - Heavenly Daoist Kun's Power, Time Lock, Just In Time

"Oh? A strange Runic Immortal Weapon."

Heavenly Daoist Kun glanced at Gu Wuqing with surprise before he punched the scorching beam and shattered it.

The Ying Yang Ancient Talisman was an Immortal Weapon with outstanding power. However, Gu Wuqing was not strong enough to utilize it to its full potential.

The other Immortals also joined the battle after Gu Wuqing's preemptive strike.

The Fox Tribe Forefather, Gu Xing, and the other Immortals attacked altogether.

However, they were only common Immortals who were no match for Heavenly Daoist Kun as the man easily blasted them away with a swing of his hand.

"Haoran Gale!"

Immortal Hao Feng attacked again. He gathered the earth's qi from the surrounding planets to himself and transformed them into a tornado before directing it at Heavenly Daoist Kun.

"Hmph! Petty tricks." Heavenly Daoist Kun was not impressed.

He channeled his Immortal's Core energy, and with the Heavenly Dao energy acting as a trigger, his divine aura spread across the surrounding planets, shaking them.

"Mighty Divine Heavenly Seal!"

Immortal Sparks shone brilliantly around Heavenly Daoist Kun. The combination of his Immortal's Core energy and Heavenly Dao energy formed a massive seal high above them.

Then, it started crashing down on them as if the galaxy was falling.

Standing no chance against the seal, Immortal Hao Feng's technique crushed and disintegrated upon contact.

The terrifying shockwave from the impact spread, blasting Immortal Hao Feng, Gu Wuqing, the Fox Tribe Forefather, and the others away.

"Wolf Blood Sword!"

At that moment, a Wolf Tribe Immortal bellowed as he drew a crimson-colored Immortal Sword that had runes swirling on its blade.

It was one of the Runic Immortal Weapons that Chu Kuangren got from Jade Emperor Treasure, and the Wolf Tribe Immortal got it from him.

He channeled his Immortal's Core energy to the limit and imbued it into the sword. The sword's runes glowed before it was thrust forward, releasing a rainbow-like sword qi at Heavenly Daoist Kun.

"Another Runic Immortal Weapon? You people have quite the tricks under your sleeves," Heavenly Daoist Kun said.

He threw a punch at the sword qi. The eruption of his Heavenly Dao energy blasted the crimson sword away.

Then, several green pillars came from above and cut off all his escape routes. It was also from one of the Runic Immortal Weapons.

The Fox Tribe Forefather finally made his move. He had imbued his Immortal's Core energy into a bead as big as his fist that released the green pillars.

"Hmph. There's no end to this." A cold glint appeared in Heavenly Daoist Kun's eyes. His Immortal's Core energy and Heavenly Dao energy were activated to their limits as they repeatedly crashed toward the green pillars.

With that, the green pillars started to crack under the powerful blast before crumbling into pieces and disintegrating into light particles.

The powerful blowback sent the Fox Tribe Forefather flying backward.

The Chaos Daoist Celestial and the others were horrified by the scene.

To them, an Immortal was the goal of all cultivation, but now, Heavenly Daoist Kun was displaying strength that easily overpowered an Immortal. It shook not only their minds but their understanding of cultivation as well.

"The universe is vast. Maybe an Immortal is not the goal of cultivation, or maybe it is our limited understanding that makes us think so," the Transcendental Daoist Celestial said with a bitter look on his face.

"Everyone, get behind me!" Gu Wuqing shouted.

Then, he used the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman's Yin Talisman's protective effect to conjure a runic barrier to shield all of them.

"Hmph. Do you think that's enough to stop me?" Heavenly Daoist Kun scoffed.

He threw another punch forward, and a massive fist crashed down on them.

Unparalleled power shook even the stars. Upon colliding with the barrier, a loud explosion went off.

Gu Wuqing's face turned pale all of a sudden. "This man is as strong as a Middle Third-grade Earthen Immortal. Even with the Yin Talisman's protection, I won't last long with my current cultivation level. Everyone, lend me a hand!"

Immortal Hao Feng stepped up to channel his Immortal's Core energy and imbue it into Gu Wuqing to help boost the barrier's tenacity.

With the help of an Immortal, the runic barrier shone brightly. Countless mystical runes rose to the air and shed light around the group.

"I would like to find out how long you people can hold on," Heavenly Daoist Kun said.

The combination of Immortal's Core energy and Heavenly Dao energy was released continuously to form the image of his fist that fell on the barrier like a meteor shower.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The barrier trembled violently.

"Lord Daoist is really amazing! He's really powerful! If a Heavenly Dao Projection of his possesses so much power, I believe his real body should be at least a Higher Third-grade Earthen Immortal," Immortal Qing Song exclaimed in a distance.

"There are eight bloodlines of Heavenly Dao — Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, Ri, Yue, Qian, and Kun. If Heavenly Daoist Kun is only the eighth out of the bunch, I wonder how powerful the other seven Heavenly Daoists are, especially the first Heavenly Daoist Tian…"

Crack!

While Immortal Qing Song was carried away by his thoughts, the runic barrier started to crack, and the runes started to break one after another.

Immortal Qing Song grinned at the scene. "As expected. No matter what they have under their sleeves, they are not a Heavenly Daoist's opponent!"

"Mighty Divine Heavenly Seal! Break!" Heavenly Daoist Kun bellowed. The Heavenly Dao energy converged once more into a giant seal and then crashed on the barrier.

A loud bang later, the barrier finally exceeded its endurance threshold and broke!

Gu Wuqing, Immortal Hao Feng, and the others were blasted away with blood gushing from their mouths.

"D*mn…" Immortal Hao Feng started to feel a sense of hopelessness. He had gone through the mill to ascend into an Earthen Immortal. Yet, before he could fully experience the power and privilege of that status, here he was facing what might be the end of his life.

Gu Wuqing, Gu Xing, the Fox Tribe Forefather, and the others were also unsatisfied, especially Gu Wuqing.

He was a King Immortal Progeny, and given his talents, as long as he could make it out alive, he would eventually ascend into an Immortal.

However, before he could even get close to that achievement, someone more powerful came to destroy him. How could he accept that?!

"Die!"

Heavenly Daoist Kun raised his hand to form another seal with the Heavenly Dao energy. As though he moved the stars, the massive energy crashed down on Gu Wuqing and the others, shrouding them with immense pressure.

That killer move could easily kill ninety percent of everyone present.

Just as everyone was on the brink of despair, heaven and earth shook.

A mystical Dao energy fluctuation suddenly scattered in the void.

Shining starry sparks, violent energy torrents, the Heavenly Dao seal that came crashing from above — everything started to slow down to an eventual pause as if someone had hit on the stop button.

Heavenly Daoist Kun narrowed his eyes as he sensed something.

"Time! Someone has stopped the time of this space!" He was stupefied.

Time was deep and profound. No matter how powerful a cultivator was, without sufficient chances or opportunity, it was impossible to even comprehend the concept.

Throughout the history of the universe, the cultivators who could comprehend the Time Source and affirm one's Dao with time were less than a handful, yet Heavenly Daoist Kun had sensed the power of time.

"Who? Who possesses such power?!"

Heavenly Daoist Kun channeled his Heavenly Dao energy to stop the invading power of time around him.

He stared into the distant stars and saw a young man in white approaching closer. He looked handsome and transcendent. Every step he took felt out of the universe, and his presence alone outshone the stars.

The thing that bothered Heavenly Daoist Kun was the source of time that came from the young man.

"It seems like I'm just in time," Chu Kuangren said.

His figure flashed and appeared before the Heavenly Dao seal. The power of time slowly faded.

At the next moment, everything returned to normal.

Before they knew it, Gu Wuqing and the others saw a white figure before their eyes.
