Chapter 4657

"I have only one move," Celestial Roar Immortal Lord declared. "Fellow Daoist Wang, feel free to use any treasures or divine abilities to block it."

Celestial Roar Immortal Lord's body radiated golden light. He threw a punch, tearing through the void and creating numerous cracks as if the sky and earth were collapsing. A massive golden fist flashed out, heading straight for Wang Changsheng. The ground spontaneously combusted, and the flames spread rapidly.

Wang Changsheng dared not delay. Donning his Immortal Slaying Gauntlets, he unleashed a punch. The void twisted, deformed, and quickly collapsed. A colossal blue fist shot out to meet the golden one.

The blue fist collided with the golden fist, like an egg striking a stone. The golden fist shattered the blue one and continued its trajectory towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng drew a symbol in the air with both hands, and a massive Tai Chi diagram appeared, blocking his front.

The golden fist struck the Tai Chi diagram. The diagram spun rapidly, developing numerous cracks on its surface, and soon after, it shattered into pieces.

Wang Changsheng conjured a Sky Star Mirror and channeled a spell into it. The mirror emitted a golden radiance that enveloped the golden fist, slowing its speed. A golden sound wave then flew out from within the giant fist, shattering the golden radiance.

The golden fist, imbued with the power of multiple laws, struck towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and a large expanse of shimmering golden sand shot out, emanating terrifying immortal energy fluctuations. This was the Qianjin Divine Sand, a supreme-grade immortal artifact crafted primarily from Qianjin Immortal Sand, possessing formidable defensive power.

Wang Changsheng made a hand seal, and the golden sand instantly solidified, forming a continuously shimmering golden shield that blocked his path.

The golden fist smashed into the golden shield, causing the shield to develop numerous cracks before shattering into a vast expanse of golden sand. At that moment, a blue giant fist arrived, colliding with the golden one, and both vanished.

Wang Changsheng used several treasures to neutralize Celestial Roar Immortal Lord's attack, demonstrating the formidable power of the Aperture Fusion Art. He had not used the complete set of Sky Star Mirrors, nor had he refined the Qianjin Divine Sand into a Primordial Spirit Treasure; otherwise, he would have blocked Celestial Roar Immortal Lord's attack much earlier.

A flicker of surprise crossed Celestial Roar Immortal Lord's eyes. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Wang to possess so many supreme-grade immortal artifacts. No wonder other fellow Daoists say you are skilled in artifact refining."

"Fellow Daoist Bian," Wang Changsheng asked, "if you don't merge your laws, can you withstand one of my moves?"

"Withstand one of your moves? Very well, Fellow Daoist Wang, bring it on!" Celestial Roar Immortal Lord readily agreed.

Wang Changsheng infused his immortal essence into the Immortal Slaying Gauntlets and launched a punch. A blue giant fist flashed forth, heading directly for Celestial Roar Immortal Lord. Wherever the blue giant fist passed, a long, thick crack appeared in the void, and a similar crack formed on the ground.

Celestial Roar Immortal Lord's expression hardened. He opened his mouth and let out a beastly roar that echoed through heaven and earth. A golden sound wave swept out, colliding with the blue giant fist, causing the golden sound wave to instantly dissipate. His right fist glowed brightly with golden light as he threw a punch, colliding with the blue giant fist.

Celestial Roar Immortal Lord's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string for a considerable distance before finally landing. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had already cultivated a top-tier immortal physique, yet he couldn't withstand one of Wang Changsheng's punches. It seemed the gauntlets provided a powerful amplification.

"Haha, exhilarating!" Celestial Roar Immortal Lord laughed heartily, his face filled with excitement. "Your reputation is well-deserved." Having mastered the Aperture Fusion Art and cultivated a top-tier immortal physique, he rarely encountered a worthy opponent.

"Fellow Daoist Bian, you flatter me," Wang Changsheng replied modestly. "Your secret art of law fusion is rarely withstood by anyone."

"If this were a life-or-death battle, Fellow Daoist Wang wouldn't simply resist. May I presumptuously ask," Celestial Roar Immortal Lord asked courteously, "if all these immortal artifacts you used were refined by yourself?"

"Indeed," Wang Changsheng nodded.

Celestial Roar Immortal Lord's respect deepened, and his smile widened. He said, "I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wang to help upgrade a set of high-grade immortal artifacts to supreme-grade. Is that convenient for you, Fellow Daoist Wang? Name your price for the remuneration."

"I can help, but I'm not available right now. I need to attend a celebration with the True Dragon Clan," Wang Changsheng stated.

"No problem. It won't be too late to refine them after you return from the celebration. What kind of remuneration do you desire? Feel free to speak your mind," Celestial Roar Immortal Lord asked.

"I'm not yet aware which set of immortal artifacts Fellow Daoist Bian wishes to upgrade?" Wang Changsheng inquired.

Celestial Roar Immortal Lord took out two small golden axes and a golden storage bracelet. He said, "I've prepared all the materials. Fellow Daoist Wang, please see if anything is missing." He had previously asked a fourth-rank immortal artifact master from his clan for help, but they had merely wasted a batch of refining materials without success. When it came to refining artifacts, concocting pills, crafting talismans, or setting up formations, the human race generally excelled.

Wang Changsheng took the golden storage bracelet, swept it with his divine sense, nodded, and said, "These materials are sufficient; there's no problem." He then took out a cyan jade slip and handed it to Celestial Roar Immortal Lord. Celestial Roar Immortal Lord's divine sense swept over it, and his brow furrowed.

"Three Primordial Spirit Treasures and five pieces of Golden Scale Moon Wheel Crystal," Celestial Roar Immortal Lord pondered for a moment before agreeing. "If Fellow Daoist Wang can indeed upgrade this set of treasures to supreme-grade immortal artifacts, then there's no problem."

"Leave it to me, Fellow Daoist Bian! Let's return to Qinglian City to discuss further!" Wang Changsheng said enthusiastically.

"No need. I'm heading to Kunlun Immortal Island to find Fellow Daoist Qian," Celestial Roar Immortal Lord replied, stating his intention to spar with a disciple of Dao Ancestor Kunlun. "Fellow Daoist Wang, please take these materials and treasures. You can refine them after you're done with your affairs. You should be able to complete them within a million years, right?" For a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, secluding oneself for a million years was nothing significant.

"Yes, that's fine. Once I've finished refining them, I will personally deliver them to you at Kunlun Immortal Island!" Wang Changsheng said.

"Then it's settled. I'm going to find Fellow Daoist Qian and the others now. Farewell." Having said this, Celestial Roar Immortal Lord transformed into a streak of light and departed.

"Is Fellow Daoist Bian going to seek out Fellow Daoist Qian for a spar?" Wang Qingcheng asked curiously.

"Perhaps. Let's return to Qinglian City!" Wang Changsheng said, then returned to Qinglian City with Wang Qingcheng.

Myriad Immortal City, Myriad Beast Garden.

Liu Qian and the Qiankun Twins sat in a cyan stone pavilion, conversing. Myriad Beast Palace had suffered significant losses, including several Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and Myriad Beast City had changed hands. Thus, Liu Qian was staying in the Heavenly City of the Myriad Immortal Business Alliance.

"The Immortal Realm is vast; it's too difficult to find the Daoist sanctuary of the Immortal Slayer Dao Ancestor with just a map," Liu Qian said, frowning.

The Qiankun Twins had sought her out, claiming to have obtained a detailed map of the Immortal Slayer Dao Ancestor's sanctuary.

"It is indeed difficult, but if Madam Liu is willing to help, there's still a chance," a woman in a golden dress said. This was Fairy Qianyu, a late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal. When she first ventured into the Qiankun Pagoda years ago, she was only a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal. "I've already advanced to the late stage. As long as we enter the sanctuary and combine our efforts, we should be able to acquire valuable treasures within."

"Exactly. We sought Madam Liu's help precisely because we trust her," a woman in a silver dress echoed. This was Fairy Kunyue, a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Very well! Since both of you trust me, I will give orders to send people to search for the Immortal Slayer Dao Ancestor's sanctuary. I hope we can find it." Liu Qian agreed and raised her teacup.

Fairy Qianyu and Fairy Kunyue also raised their teacups. The three clinked their cups, signifying a pleasant cooperation.
