Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 115 Invincible
Ling Xuan's eyes turned slightly cold. Without flinching or dodging, he met the attack with a palm strike of his own.

The two palms collided with a loud "bang," as if the space itself had been shattered. An invisible shock emanated from the two of them, spreading outwards in a ring.

This impact contained powerful world force; wherever it passed, the hard ground instantly collapsed, creating a pit several meters deep, and the surrounding boulders were swept into the sky like scraps of paper, only to be pulverized by the impact.

Elder Sun felt an immense force surging towards him, and the power of the world within his body seemed to be stirred up by an invisible hand, causing its originally smooth circulation to become chaotic.

Before he could even scream, the next second, his entire body began to shatter inch by inch, starting from his palms. His silver armor, along with his flesh and bones, turned into countless specks of light. Even the true core of the Realm Lord cracked open with a "crack" under this immense force.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Only Elder Sun's last, unwilling question remained in the sky before he was crushed into nothingness by the violent impact.

"I told you, Ling Xuan." Ling Xuan's tone remained calm, as if he had just brushed off some dust.

The Tianyuan Mountain disciples around them were stunned by what they saw, their hands trembling as they gripped their weapons.

A deathly silence lingered for several seconds before a young disciple, his teeth chattering, murmured, "He...he just killed Elder Sun with a single palm strike, didn't he?"

"No...it can't be, right?" The senior brother next to him was deathly pale, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Elder Sun is a peak Realm Lord recognized by the fundamental laws of lightning, how could he..."

"What...what a joke!" A disciple further away screamed, "Unless the newcomer is an Immortal-level expert! But he clearly only has the aura of a World Lord!"

Panic spread like wildfire among the disciples of Tianyuan Mountain. Everyone retreated, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Ling Xuan.

Some people turned to run back to the camp, but were stopped by a cold shout: "What's the panic!"

Five figures flew out of the base one after another, each carrying powerful world power and law fluctuations, clearly all of them were world lord level experts.

Each of them had a mark of one of the eight lower-level laws between their eyebrows, clearly indicating that these five, like Elder Sun, were realm lords recognized by the laws.

"How dare you kill an elder in front of my Tianyuan Mountain gate? Do you think Tianyuan Mountain has no one to rely on?" An elder on the left, holding a bronze spear, roared angrily. Earthy yellow world power flowed around him, carrying a heavy and steady aura.

The auras of the five world lords erupted simultaneously, intertwining with the power of the world to form an invisible net, creating a cage that trapped Ling Xuan in the center.

"I told you, bring out your mountain lord. My patience is limited, don't force me to slaughter you all." Ling Xuan's voice was extremely cold, as if it carried a bone-chilling coldness, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

"Arrogant." The five peak Realm Lords were so angry that they laughed. The other party simply didn't take them seriously. Did they really think they were Realm Lords of the core layer of the five major forces?

Don't they know where they are? How dare they spout such nonsense?

"Dad, it was him. He almost hit Grandpa, but the old patriarch intervened in time to save him." Ling Shuang pointed to one of the realm lords wearing crimson armor.

“He’s the one who hit me and my brother,” Ling Feng said, pointing at the other man.

Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, the Crimson Armored Realm Lord was first taken aback, then turned his gaze to Ling Shuang and the other two, looking them up and down. A look of realization flashed in his eyes: "So it's you three little beasts from the Candle Dragon Clan. If it weren't for the sake of the Heavenly Phoenix Royal Clan and the Qianwu Royal Clan, I would have beaten you to a pulp. And now you dare to bring helpers to cause trouble? You really don't know what's good for you."

“Look, he’s still so arrogant in front of you.” Ling Feng continued to add fuel to the fire. “You have no idea how arrogant he was that day.” The Crimson Armor Realm Lord sneered, his face full of disdain: “You really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. You dare to fight with my Tianyuan Mountain. Taking a few hits is considered lenient. Not directly crippling you is already giving the Tianfeng Royal Family some face.”

"You're courting death!" A cold glint flashed in Ling Xuan's eyes. Before the other party could say another word, the power of the world within his body suddenly erupted.

A vast power, far surpassing that of the five realm lords, surged forth like a tsunami, transforming into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky before him. This hand seemed to contain the pressure of heaven and earth, ignoring the obstruction of the invisible net, and went straight for the realm lord in crimson armor.

The Crimson Armor Realm Lord's expression changed drastically. He felt the overwhelming and almost irresistible power coming from all directions. He hurriedly activated the world power within his body to activate the laws. Instantly, raging flames ignited around him. The flames were a strange, dark blue color and exuded an aura of burning the heavens and destroying the earth.

A flaming longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand, its blade wreathed in flames, and he slashed fiercely at the giant hand: "Get out of my way!"

However, the moment his flaming longsword touched the giant hand, it melted instantly like ice and snow meeting the sun, and the dark blue flames around him also dissipated instantly, like candle flames blown away by a gale.

The large hand didn't stop, and firmly grasped him in its palm.

"Save me!" the Crimson Armored Realm Lord screamed in terror, his face filled with disbelief. He struggled desperately, his world power surging wildly into his palm, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, unable to even stir up a ripple. His palm remained motionless, instead clenching even tighter.

Upon seeing this, the other four realm lords roared in unison. They had not expected this person to be so powerful, daring to capture someone in front of them. This was simply disregarding Tianyuan Mountain.

The elder wielding the bronze spear threw it, infusing it with earth-yellow world power. Instantly, the spear transformed into a giant python-like streak of light, shooting towards the massive hand with a whistling sound as it tore through the air.

On the right, a realm lord who controlled the law of wind stirred up a raging storm, with wind blades as dense as rain, like countless sharp blades, slashing towards the giant hand; two other realm lords respectively invoked the laws of water and thunder, transforming them into towering waves and raging thunder dragons, which together bombarded the giant hand.

"A mere trick." Ling Xuan snorted coldly, and his large hand trembled slightly, releasing an invisible force.

The bronze spear was instantly sent flying backward, hurtling towards the elder who had thrown it. The elder was shocked and hurriedly used the power of the world to defend himself, barely managing to catch the spear. However, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The raging wind, giant waves, and thunder dragon were all shattered in the face of that invisible force. The four world lords were shaken so badly that their blood and qi surged, their faces turned pale, and they retreated repeatedly.

The force of the recoil alone nearly shattered their original cores.

"stop."

Just then, an even more powerful aura burst forth from the depths of the camp, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, causing the energy of heaven and earth to stir.

The Lord of Tianyuan Mountain finally appeared. He was dressed in black armor, with a resolute face and eyes that exuded an aura of overwhelming power.

Seeing the Crimson Armor Realm Lord captured, his expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he activated the Law of Lightning, and a thick purple lightning whip condensed, carrying an aura of destruction, and lashed out at the giant hand: "Let him go!"

Ling Xuan sneered, not even turning his head. With a casual wave of his other hand, a gentle yet indestructible force of the world formed an invisible barrier, steadily blocking the Purple Lightning Whip.

With a crisp "crack", the Purple Lightning Divine Whip shattered into pieces, turning into countless sparks of electricity that dissipated in the air. The attack from the Lord of Tianyuan Mountain couldn't even make him sway.

"Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in my Tianyuan Mountain!" The Tianyuan Mountain Lord was both shocked and furious. He had not expected this person to be so powerful. His full-force attack had been so easily neutralized by the other party.
