Although Tutu's powers weren't impressive overall, when it concerned only speed, there were truly very few people that could keep up with him.
Tutu was frantically flying through the air.
He had already been inford that it was an Earth Immortal chasing them, so he didn't slack in the slightest, moving almost as quickly as the Fla Celestial Sovereign's streak of fla.
But "almost as quickly" ant that he was still a little slower.
Even though it was rather dismaying, Tang Jie had to accept this fact: even Tutu, whose specialty was speed, couldn't escape the Fla Celestial Sovereign.
Though rather than the Fla Celestial Sovereign instantly catching up, Tang Jie could sit on the back of the rabbit and watch that fla draw closer and closer…
Shit!
But all the anger in the world couldn't get Tang Jie out of his current predicant. And he knew that Tutu was doing his best. After all, Tutu had just reached Divine Division, whereas the Fla Celestial Sovereign was a peak Earth Immortal. The gap between them was just too big.
Yes, peak Earth Immortal.
Tang Jie's attempts to stop him hadn't been a complete waste, allowing him to find out just how powerful the Fla Celestial Sovereign really was. As he had interacted with Yun Tianlan for a long period of ti, Tang Jie was no stranger to this level of power. It was just that only interacting with Yun Tianlan ant he lacked reference points. This journey to the Court of Myriad Domains had let him see many more Immortal Platform experts and broadened his horizons, increasing his understanding of the Immortal Platform Realm even more. Just now, he had attacked several more tis to continue his observations and confirm how strong this old bastard really was.
He had confird that this guy was on the verge of a breakthrough, already at the peak of Earth Immortal.
Just from how he was still giving chase, Tang Jie could tell that his reserves of Immortal energy were still healthy.
Still, the explosions of the three divine treasures had left this peak Earth Immortal with a disheveled appearance. It had failed to lessen the hatred in his eyes, and he pursued Tang Jie like he was an obsessed lover.
"Clingy bastard, you want to play? Fine, I'll play with you!" Standing on Tutu's back and staring at that approaching fla, Tang Jie suddenly stopped panicking.
He took out an item, holding it in hand as he waited for the Fla Celestial Sovereign to draw closer.
Once they were close enough, Tang Jie threw it.
The Fla Celestial Sovereign howled, and his barrier of Immortal energy pulsed. Fwoom! That item exploded in a fla of light, but when it struck the barrier, it didn't even cause a ripple.
Startled, the Fla Celestial Sovereign realized that Tang Jie had only thrown an art relic.
This bastard had tricked him again!
But this sort of deception was useless. To save Immortal energy, the Fla Celestial Sovereign removed his barrier and continued the chase, but at this mont, several punches ca flying out of the distance.
The Fla Celestial Sovereign hadn't expected this move from Tang Jie, and he took on the full force of the attack. Even though his Immortal body was tough, he still couldn't match that of a body cultivator and was sent tumbling backward.
"Tang Jie, you scoundrel!" the Fla Celestial Sovereign roared in anger.
Drawing back his fist, Tang Jie muttered, "It's been a while since soone made act like a scoundrel."
Yes.
Ever since he had reached Violet Palace, his opponents had been few, and he had always been able to fight openly and honestly. It had been a long ti since Tang Jie had had to be this lowly, so much so that people had forgotten that Tang Jie had gotten this far thanks to his sches, plots, and tactics!
Fighting with you?
I'm no match.
But I can use all kinds of thods to weaken you, exhaust you, wear you out, numb you, until your edge is finally worn away! Then, we can fight to the death!
This was why Tang Jie hadn't used Reflections of Floating Life.
He wanted to fight against the Fla Celestial Sovereign and create the miracle of a Soul Projection cultivator beating an Immortal Platform cultivator.
In the past, no Soul Transformation cultivator had ever defeated a Violet Palace cultivator, but at least people had tried.
A Soul Projection cultivator beating an Immortal Platform cultivator was simply unimaginable. A normal Soul Projection cultivator wouldn't even be able to stand straight in front of an Earth Immortal, let alone fight them.
The realm separating them was an absolute wall that had existed for eons. Nobody could cross it!
But today, Tang Jie wanted to create this new miracle.
Of course, this miracle would not be established on fair combat.
Tang Jie wasn't arrogant enough to think that he could defeat an Earth Immortal in a fair duel, and he was also far from his peak form. He had just entered Soul Projection, and his body cultivator self was still in the middle phase of the Immortal Spirit Body. When he had defeated Jewel, both of his selves had been at Deification. Thus, to defeat an Immortal Platform expert, he had to be at peak Soul Projection and peak Immortal Spirit.
But just killing him didn't require as much.
He just needed to constantly wear down and weaken his opponent.
First pull your opponent down to your level, and then beat him with experience!
This was Tang Jie's plan.
After pushing back the Fla Celestial Sovereign, Tang Jie conjured up the Nine Heavens Calamity Blades.
Tang Jie seed to want to reuse the strategy he had employed against the Wailing Baby.
The Fla Celestial Sovereign didn't know that Tang Jie was treating him like a fiend and trying to do so kiting, but he was also no Wailing Baby. The sa thods weren't as effective on him. With a cold laugh, he said, "So even a firefly can give off a little light."
With a snap of his fingers, a sea of fire erged, eting that rain of blades in a fierce collision.
There was no doubt that Tang Jie suffered a terrible defeat.
The sea of flas sought to burn away the heavens themselves, obliterating the blades before rushing toward Tang Jie.
An ethereal giant appeared behind Tang Jie, extending a hand to suppress the sea of flas—the Heavenly King Mara Incantation! This spell art that had once cost so much energy to cast was now nothing but a simple trick to Tang Jie, but it was a hundred tis more powerful. With a sweep of this giant's arms, the sea of flas was pushed back.
In the past, the Fla Celestial Sovereign would have just needed to add a little extra energy to have the sea of flas roaring back to crush his opponent.
But they were now both moving at high speeds, so such opportunities were very brief. The ethereal giant only needed to push back the sea of fire for a mont so that Tutu could whisk Tang Jie away.
The Fla Celestial Sovereign turned into a fiery streak of light to give chase, but he was welcod by another round of Nine Heavens Calamity Blades, and the sa scene replayed itself.
The two fought and ran like this for a while, and the Fla Celestial Sovereign found that he actually couldn't do much to Tang Jie.
This was mostly because the rabbit was too fast, preventing him from attacking Tang Jie normally, with their clashes lasting for only a second before they broke away from each other. While Soul Projection cultivators were much weaker than Immortal Platform cultivators, they could still block one or two attacks. In addition, Tang Jie had grown accustod to the pressure of Immortals through Yun Tianlan, so his mind couldn't be shaken.
As a result, while the Fla Celestial Sovereign could always beat down Tang Jie, the rabbit would always run fast enough that he couldn't exploit his advantage.
The Fla Celestial Sovereign actually had his own mount, but mounts normally had two functions: transportation and speed. If the mount wasn't as fast as the master, then its only use was to serve as a ans of transport over long distances. It had basically no purpose in battle.
This was the case with the Fla Celestial Sovereign's mount. Although it wasn't exactly slow, it certainly wasn't as fast as Tutu, which ant that it was better to not use it.
The sight of Tang Jie being able to ss around with him thanks to his mount made the Fla Celestial Sovereign even more furious.
"Kid, you really think I can't do anything to you?" The Fla Celestial Sovereign took in a deep breath, sucking up his sea of flas. The Fla Celestial Sovereign grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a giant that majestically towered over the world.
Looking at the fleeing Tang Jie, the Fla Celestial Sovereign said in a rumbling voice, "Evil creature, there's no escape!"
He raised a foot and stomped at Tang Jie.
This single step covered the world, seemingly ignoring all distance to appear directly over Tang Jie's head. As that massive mountain-sized foot descended on him, Tang Jie's eyes glead. "You think… you're the only one who knows how to turn big?"
He threw his head back and roared, raising his arms.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As he grew two heads and four arms, his body turned into that of a giant. Though it wasn't as imposing as the Fla Celestial Sovereign, it was also much more real and solid. Tang Jie raised all six of his arms upward, pressing up against the bottom of the Fla Celestial Sovereign's giant foot, the impact unleashing a powerful shockwave.
Tutu was unable to endure this terrifying force, jumping away with a scream. Tang Jie plumted from the sky, his feet slamming into the ground. The impact had the earth rippling like it was the ocean, the dirt becoming soft and pliable.
Tang Jie's body sunk into the ground, but his arms remained held high, pushing back against the Fla Celestial Sovereign's foot and leaving its owner stunned.
Tang Jie pushed upward, throwing the Fla Celestial Sovereign into the air. Tang Jie used this mont to leap up, his six arms blurring as they drew out countless fantastical images as if he was the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. Ultimately, all of those countless illusory arms turned into a single arm.
One right arm!
And then it punched.
"Reincarnation Strike!"
As this berserk torrent of strength slamd into the Fla Celestial Sovereign, he unexpectedly found that he couldn't block it!
He, a mighty Earth Immortal, couldn't block a punch from this kid!
The heavenly wrath in this punch shattered his barrier of Immortal energy, blasted apart his Immortal body.
The Fla Celestial Sovereign's enormous body of flas shattered, sending a fla-colored plu of smoke rising into the air and waves of fla sweeping over the earth.
Tang Jie himself was dumbfounded by this sight.
He knew that the Reincarnation Strike was powerful, and he had also infused it with the power of the War God Mantra, but he still hadn't expected this strike to be that powerful.
After a montary daze, he began to crazily laugh.
He had shattered an Immortal Platform body with just one punch!
What level of power was this!?
At that mont, Tang Jie got sothing, and he seed to rediscover the aning of body cultivation.
This one punch was enough to show that body cultivation wasn't trash!
The light of hope shone in his eyes.
But a mont later, the waves of fla ca sweeping back, and Tang Jie saw the Fla Celestial Sovereign striding out of the destruction.
His face seethed with fury, and his eyes shone with disbelief.
An Immortal was undying and everlasting!
At this mont, Tang Jie finally understood the aning of these words.
To reach Violet Palace was to cast with one's thoughts, which increased one's offensive capabilities by tens of thousands of tis. To reach Immortal Platform was to be undying and everlasting, which increased one's survivability by tens of thousands of tis!
This was the gap!
This was the difference!
"A good punch!" the Fla Celestial Sovereign said in a rare expression of praise.
No matter what, a punch that could destroy an Immortal was worthy of praise.
But then he scowled once more. "Alas, such a fine punch will cease to exist from this world.
"Now die!"
A giant hand of flas descended.
