Chapter 1037: Absolute Lord (Part 3)

Li Fuchen12Li FuchenMain Protagonist had noticed the Purple Pupil God and Steel Claw Ghost God since a long time ago.

If it was in the past, he would definitely escape. But now, he didn’t feel that he had to escape.

His strength was not just 100 times or a few hundred times stronger than 500 years ago.

500 years ago, his sword art and cultivation technique had yet to reach perfection, yet he was already able to contest with superior half-gods.

500 years later, his sword art and cultivation technique were both at perfection. He reckoned that his current sword dao energy was already comparable with regular half-god’s half-god energy.

After all, be it sword art breakthrough or cultivation technique breakthrough, they were able to upgrade the sword dao bloodline. When the sword dao bloodline got an upgrade, sword dao energy would be naturally upgraded too.

Moreover, Li Fuchen didn’t just go through a simple breakthrough, it was perfection in both sword art and cultivation technique. Li Fuchen’s sword dao energy had already reached the permitted limits of the universe and it was the strongest sword dao energy.

In comparison, a regular half-god energy might be tyrannical, but regular half-gods would only be at high-level of star domain realm. Some of the regular half-gods were only at mid-level of star domain realm, therefore, they would be suppressed by Li Fuchen in cultivation.

Apart from that, half-god energy was something that threatened the universe, as such it would be restricted by the universe.

Seeing the Steel Claw Ghost God lunging over, Li Fuchen’s Primary Inception Bracelet transformed into a sword and he counterattacked.

Clang!

When the steel claw and sword clashed, there was a shockwave that instantly destroyed everything nearby.

“What?”

The Steel Claw Ghost God felt a terrifying resistance that made his body stunned for a moment, and it didn’t allow him to launch the second follow up attack.

“He blocked the vice-leader’s first attack?” The Purple Pupil God was shocked.

“No wonder it is called the absolute sword dao energy!” Li Fuchen sized up the Primary Inception Sword in his hand and felt more confident.

After becoming an absolute lord, he could utilize more of the Primary Inception Bracelet’s source essence. Right now, the Primary Inception Bracelet was the same as a peak-grade half-god equipment in Li Fuchen’s hand. Furthermore, it was considered superior even among peak-grade half-god equipment. Apart from not being able to transform the wielder into a half-god, it was completely comparable with a peak-grade half-god equipment or even superior.

“What an incredible high-grade universe treasure.”

The Steel Claw Ghost God didn’t think that Li Fuchen might be an absolute lord, as it was too difficult to achieve. In the entire universe, there were less than five individuals who had reached absolute lord and all of them were invincible existences. The Steel Claw Ghost God didn’t know if Li Fuchen could reach absolute lord in the future, but he knew that it wasn’t really possible for Li Fuchen to be an absolute lord right now.

Since he wasn’t an absolute lord, then the only explanation would be that the strength of a high-grade universe treasure was far beyond everyone’s imagination. Perhaps, the power of a high-grade universe treasure wasn’t equivalent to a peak-grade half-god equipment, but a pinnacle-grade half-god equipment.

In the entire universe, how many high-grade universe treasures were there?

Probably around five or so. It was rare for anyone to witness the true strength of high-grade universe treasures, therefore, it was normal for people to wrongly estimate the value of it.

“Is the power close or even comparable to pinnacle-grade half-god equipment?” The Steel Claw Ghost God’s eyes were emitting desire.

If he had a high-grade universe treasure, wouldn’t he be able to contest with slightly weaker pinnacle half-gods?

“I must obtain this high-grade universe treasure.”

The Steel Claw Ghost God had decided that even if he had to pay a huge price, it was going to kill and plunder.

If he missed this opportunity, there might not be a next.

“Steel Claw Storm.”

With the half-god energy activated, countless claw shadows stormed towards Li Fuchen.

A half-god’s attack had the same mystical level as a lord, but the power was more than 100 times or 1000 times more. In terms of attack power, Li Fuchen was inferior, but his sword art was at perfection level, allowing him to neutralize the claw attack forces. It was the same as to use 10% or 20% of strength to neutralize 100% of the opponent’s strength.

“Damn it.”

The Steel Claw Ghost God felt as though he was sinking into quicksand. He was overflowing with energy, but felt restricted and could utilize his full strength. On the contrary, Li Fuchen was able to fight with borrowed strength, and using his power freely.

Bang!

Several sword lights struck on the Steel Claw Ghost God and brought out arrows of blood.

In a duel between experts, attack power didn’t mean superiority. Skill was also a factor.

The Steel Claw Ghost God’s attack seemed powerful, but it wasn’t able to hit Li Fuchen. But Li Fuchen would be able to hit the Steel Claw Ghost God with every few moves, exhausting his half-god energy.

“I don’t believe that I cannot hit you.” The Steel Claw Ghost God ignored Li Fuchen’s attack and fought at close-range.

Li Fuchen wouldn’t possibly allow the chance.

Back then, the Heaven Stab Sword God fought against three and was able to neutralize three elite half-gods’ attacks and was occasionally hit by them.

Right now, Li Fuchen’s sword art was comparable with the Heaven Stab Sword God, and he was only facing one elite half-god. If Li Fuchen was hit by the opponent, wouldn’t he be too weak?

“Impossible, how can this be possible?” The Steel Claw Ghost God couldn’t accept this fact.

He was an elite half-god and could even fight a lord at close-range. No one would believe it if this news spread out.

“Such strength… This Primary Extreme Lord’s strength is already comparable with elite half-gods. And his sword art?”

An observer normally saw things clearer. The Purple Pupil God could see more than the Steel Claw Ghost God. He was certain that Li Fuchen’s sword art definitely reached the perfection-state of star domain-rank. Moreover, Li Fuchen’s energy was too powerful and was almost like regular half-god energy.

“Could it be?” The Purple Pupil God let out an astonished expression.

Absolute lord…

This thought flashed in the Purple Pupil God’s mind.

It had to be the energy of an absolute lord. It was why it could compare with regular half-god energy.

The Purple Pupil God immediately told the Steel Claw Ghost God of what he observed.

The Steel Claw Ghost God was bewildered, but to be honest, he was 80% convinced that Li Fuchen was an absolute lord.

Nothing else could explain this apart from him being an absolute lord.

High-grade universe treasure was  powerful, but it wasn’t enough for Li Fuchen to play the Steel Claw Ghost God like this.

“It seems like I have no choice but to use the Ghost Shadow Divine Claw’s energy.”

The Steel Claw Ghost God’s palm changed color swiftly and even his claws were getting sharper.

“Kill!” With a wave of his claw, a dark-red claw shadow shrouded Li Fuchen.

“Such speed.”

When facing the energy of a half-god equipment, Li Fuchen wasn’t able to neutralize it as he was sent flying.

“Kill, kill, kill…”

The Steel Claw Ghost God waved his claws repeatedly, launching claw shadows at Li Fuchen from all directions.

Pfff!

Li Fuchen had a claw mark that reached bone-deep.

Li Fuchen’s defense was too tough. He already had the Calamity Immortal Body and also had the body of an absolute lord. With both attributes, his body toughness was truly stunning.

Of course, in the face of a high-grade half-god equipment, the Calamity Immortal Body wasn’t enough. All of the calamity power had been consumed in an instant. If it wasn’t for his absolute lord’s body, this claw attack would have exhausted a huge amount of Li Fuchen’s energy.

Li Fuchen responded by transforming the Primary Inception Bracelet into armor.

With the Primary Inception Bracelet in the armor and sword mode, only 80% of its power could be utilized. But for Li Fuchen, it was already enough.

Bang Bang Bang…

With the Primary Inception Armor, the Steel Claw Ghost God was no longer able to injure Li Fuchen.

“Purple Pupil God, hurry up and assist!” The Steel Claw Ghost God couldn’t bother about his reputation and yelled to the Purple Pupil God.

“Yes.” The Purple Pupil God could obviously see that the Steel Claw Ghost God couldn’t deal with Li Fuchen.

“Purple Pupil Seal Mirror.”

The purple pupil race’s specialty was their ocular art. 

As the Purple Pupil God’s eyes glowed with purple light, countless mirrors appeared around Li Fuchen. Each of the mirrors contained Li Fuchen’s reflection and in each of the reflection’s eyes, there were countless mirrors…

“Even an elite half-god would need a long time to escape from the Purple Pupil World after getting trapped.” The Purple Pupil God was very confident in his ocular technique as it was his unique skill.

His Purple Pupil World had yet to transform into the Purple Pupil Universe, otherwise, he was confident in fighting against any elite half-god.

“Ocular art world?” Li Fuchen raised his brows.

Ocular art were generally illusion arts and targeted the mental state.

For someone weak-willed, it was easy to get trapped by illusion arts.

It was unfortunate that the Purple Pupil God chose the wrong target.

Li Fuchen’s spirit soul was several times stronger than half-gods. This mere ocular art was simply flawed in his eyes.

“Break!”

With a yell, Li Fuchen instantly blasted the Purple Pupil World apart.

Pfff!

The Purple Pupil God vomited huge amounts of blood and looked at Li Fuchen as though he was looking at a ghost.

The Purple Pupil God couldn’t imagine how powerful Li Fuchen’s spirit soul willpower must be to instantly break his Purple Pupil World. Furthermore, it gave the Purple Pupil God a huge backlash.

“Wastrel.” The Steel Claw Ghost God cursed in his mind.

Who else could be called a wastrel apart from a superior half-god to be neutralized by a lord within an instant.

“Let’s see how long you can persist.” Without a choice, the Steel Claw Ghost God planned to exhaust Li Fuchen’s energy.

After a period of time, the Steel Claw Ghost God realized that it wasn’t realistic to exhaust Li Fuchen’s energy. It was possible that his half-god energy might be depleted first.

“Damn it, why aren’t they here yet?”

The Steel Claw Ghost God wouldn’t just give up on a high-grade universe treasure like this. Among the five half-gods of the Northern Frontier Alliance that returned, he had already informed the three other half-gods.

“Spirit Keel Wood.”

All of a sudden, giant logs descended and turned the area where Li Fuchen was into a dense giant forest.

“Arrow Rain!”

Immediately after, there was a rain of arrows. Each of the arrows looked like locusts that homed towards him.

“Flaming Hammer!”

Finally, there was a burning meteor hammer that smashed over.

“Just in time.”

Li Fuchen could see that the giant forest was a seal-type half-god equipment, the arrow rain was an arrow-type half-god equipment, and the flaming hammer was a hammer-type half-god equipment.

Executing the Primary Extreme Sword Art, an unbounded sword sea protected Li Fuchen, blocking off the arrow rain and flaming hammer.

“Sect Origin Sword.”

10,000 swords turning into one, Li Fuchen sliced out of the giant forest and flew out.

“He broke through my Spirit Keel Wood just like that?” Not far away, there was a stunned half-god and he had a green wood floating about his head.

His Spirit Keel Wood might only be a mid-grade half-god equipment, but it was a sealing-type half-god equipment. Even an elite half-god would need a long time to break out, it was impossible for it to be as easy for Li Fuchen.

“This Primary Extreme Lord is ridiculously strong!”

The two other half-gods that wielded the arrow-type half-god equipment and hammer-type half-god equipment were frowning. They lived for countless years and had never seen such a powerful lord. No wonder the Steel Claw Ghost God didn’t bother about his reputation and asked for their help.

“Five half-gods… The Northern Frontier Alliance is really flattering me.” Li Fuchen smiled at the Steel Claw Ghost God.

The Steel Claw Ghost God’s face twitched and he replied coldly, “With the five of us working together, you don’t stand a chance. I advise you to hand over the high-grade universe treasure.” 

For the sake of the high-grade universe treasure, reputation meant nothing.

“That might not be the case. The universe is big. I, Li Fuchen, can go anywhere I wish. Primary Extreme Sword Shift!”

Li Fuchen didn’t want to continue fighting. There was no meaning to continue this fight as he couldn’t possibly kill the five of them. If the fight dragged for too long, other half-gods might be attracted over too and it wouldn’t be good.

Turning into a sword light, Li Fuchen vanished without a trace.

“He vanished?” 

The half-god wielding the arrow-type half-god equipment swept with his spiritual awareness and couldn’t even find a trace of Li Fuchen.

“He has vanished indeed.”

The half-gods using the green wood half-god equipment and the hammer-type half-god equipment looked at each other with dismay. It was truly an eye-opener for them today.

It was fine if a lord had the strength of an elite half-god, but even the shifting art was so bizarre.

“An absolute lord is indeed incredible, I admit failure today.” The Steel Claw Ghost God gritted his teeth as he spoke.

He heard rumors about absolute lords. Due to absolute lords reaching the perfection-state, they could blend into the universe seamlessly. But half-gods were feared by the universe willpower, causing a lag. Because of this lag, they weren’t able to find Li Fuchen.

In other words, outside of the Half-God Domain, no one could deal with absolute lords. Not even a pinnacle half-god could do anything. The absolute lords could leave as and when they wanted without leaving any trace.

“Absolute lords are too terrifying. Once he goes to the Battlefield of God, he has a high chance of obtaining a half-god equipment. Once an absolute lord becomes a half-god, it would be unimaginable.”

“How can it be so easy to obtain half-god equipment? Most importantly, that Primary Extreme Lord wouldn’t even bother about regular half-god equipment. He would only feel that high-grade half-god equipment is worthy.”

The first half-god equipment was very important. If someone picked a low-grade half-god equipment, one would only be able to become a regular half-god. Mid-grade half-god equipment would produce superior half-gods. Of course, it wasn’t definite. If the second half-god equipment was three grades superior to the first half-god equipment, one could undergo a second cleanse to transform the half-god energy.

There were some that picked a low-grade half-god equipment and became a regular half-god. Afterwards, they found a peak-grade half-god equipment and underwent a second cleanse to become a pinnacle half-god.

However, peak-grade half-god equipment was too rare. It was only possible to find them deep in the Battlefield of God.

“If he went to the Half-God Domain or the Battlefield of God, the universe willpower will not be able to help him.” The Steel Claw Ghost God sneered.
