Chapter 579: The Sal Tree of Life and Death Evolves (1/2)

The woman called Ge Yun abruptly shifted back into her true form as a fur seal and pounced on Lu Yun, trailing a pungent cloud of fishy stench in her wake.

Fur seals in the world of immortals were different from those found on Earth. Their skin was a mottled dark-green and looked thick and gooey with dark green hairs growing from it in patches, much like a mangy dog.

Ge Yun’s obese figure was more than forty meters long, and two dark yellow tusks jutted out of her enormous mouth. Ecstatic, excited squeals emitted from her mouth as her two upper limbs slapped the ground repeatedly.

It obviously hadn’t been long since this... thing... had acquired human form. It wasn’t yet used to it, and it was happiest and most comfortable in its natural fur seal shape.

Clamoring with reckless abandon, Ge Yun arrived in front of Lu Yun in the blink of an eye.

“Get lost!” Stifling a sudden bout of revulsion, he extended his hand and turned Violetgrave into a torrential sword river that surged at the fur seal.

The creature was a void-ascended immortal, but Lu Yun wasn’t far from that level either at a mere tribulation away. As such, he was many times stronger than when he’d come across Fangyang Xing.

Sword dao revolved endlessly in his hand, releasing heaven-shattering force as the sword river fired a pillar of light that pierced the sky and seemed to cleave the very void in half.

Puff!

Kelp-green blood spurted into the air; the fur seal shrieked miserably as a black chunk of fat weighing fifty kilograms was shaved off by the sword strike. Even so, the creature’s body was almost entirely covered in sticky, lumpy fat. While the damage seemed terrible at first glance, it hadn’t truly harmed its essence.

“Ahhhhh! I’m going to eat you!!” Ge Yun shrieked. Mouth wide open, it spat a giant black water jar out of its mouth. Following which, the water jar upended itself and unleashed a deluge of seawater that filled the newly dried-up Lake of Yin to the brim.

“Oh no, fall back!” Turning pale with fright, the other immortals took to the air and fled in the opposite direction. The seawater was extremely heavy, so much so that it could annihilate even a peerless immortal upon contact. Without a doubt, the black water jar was an immortal weapon of prodigious power.

Thankfully, the lake had previously been emptied, so despite the great limitations, the immortals nevertheless managed to flee through the air. Otherwise, all of them would have perished in the blink of an eye.

This fur seal’s combat arts aren’t especially strong, but its body and immortal dao are both exceptional!

Lu Yun had figured out the fur seal in the short moment he’d made contact with it. It didn’t even measure up to current immortals, when it came to arts and skills, but its extraordinary physique and fearsome treasure more than made up for it.

In a sense, it personified Lu Yun’s concept of supplemental paths as king.

In any case, the seawater’s impact was too formidable for him to weather with his own strength alone.

“But against seawater…” Turning his palm up, he summoned the Sugato Sword into his hand.

Boom!

The next moment, the sword loudly disintegrated into boundless sword energy that wove in the air to form a vast net. As soon as the heavy seawater crashed into the net, it was sliced into many smaller flows that trickled away.
