Chapter 975: Chapter 943: Vast Heaven Mirror

As the Earth Fire Rock Lion was slain, a change came over the Purple Jade Celestial Python’s expression, unwilling to sit and wait for death.

He opened his mouth and spat out a small golden mirror. After swiftly activating it, the mirror emitted a powerful aura and began to enlarge.

The appearance of this treasure immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Everyone could guess that since the Purple Jade Celestial Python chose to act at this moment, the magical treasure he wielded was certainly extraordinary.

Undoubtedly something remarkable, in his eyes, capable of reversing the situation.

"This is... a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure!"

As the golden mirror manifested, Liu Taixuan’s eyes shone brightly, recognizing the unique Daoist array patterns of the magical artifact.

Because on that treasure mirror, he could clearly see the profound patterns of a spiritual treasure flowing, particularly distinctive. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The appearance of such a magical treasure differed significantly from magical artifacts and magical treasures.

Anyone who had seen a spiritual treasure could easily recognize it.

Swish.

The Purple Jade Celestial Python held the Vast Heaven Mirror, with intense light gathering on its surface, immensely powerful, and instantly shot out a stream of golden radiance.

This Vast Heaven Divine Light directly struck the Void Cage, attempting to break it open.

Rumble.

In a flash, a roaring sound erupted on the Void Cage as it was firmly struck by the Vast Heaven Divine Light, shining brightly.

But after just a few shakes, the attack did not break the Void Cage, causing the Purple Jade Celestial Python’s expression to change as he attempted another attack.

The mirror’s surface continued to gather brilliant and intense light.

"It’s the Vast Heaven Mirror!"

At this moment, Xu Dezhi recognized the origins of the Vast Heaven Mirror, his face showing a serious expression with a hint of apprehension.

"How is this in his hands?"

"So this is the Vast Heaven Mirror."

Upon hearing it was the Vast Heaven Mirror, others like Taiqi Peak understood.

The Vast Heaven Mirror was a well-known spiritual treasure in Lingxi State, once brilliant in the hands of a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Dubhe Institute, able to easily suppress and kill those of the same tier.

The most famous battle, also the one that made its name, was using this mirror to overpoweringly annihilate a late-stage Nascent Soul Blood Spot Sea Snake in Qingli Sea.

However, after that Dubhe Institute expert disappeared many years ago, the Vast Heaven Mirror’s whereabouts became unknown.

Now to see this spiritual treasure in the hands of the Purple Jade Celestial Python led to speculations of some transaction or connection between that Dubhe Institute expert and the Purple Jade Celestial Python.

"Vast Heaven Mirror."

Lu Ping also had heard of the origins of this spiritual treasure, his gaze flickering as he unleashed boundless magical power to reinforce the defenses of the Void Cage.

He was somewhat apprehensive of this spiritual treasure.

Rumble.

Deep explosion sounds emerged as three Vast Heaven Divine Lights flew out, launching a fierce attack.

Faced with the ferocious assault of such a supreme treasure, Taiqi Peak and others could not help but worry whether the Purple Jade Celestial Python could still be trapped.

Seeing Lu Ping’s calm and unruffled demeanor, after blocking those three Vast Heaven Divine Lights, the outcome became clear.

Even something as strong as the Vast Heaven Mirror could not break through the Void Power exerted by the Xuanyuan Sword Form.

No matter how the Purple Jade Celestial Python wielded the Vast Heaven Mirror to attack, each Vast Heaven Divine Light striking the Void Cage hummed incessantly but was completely blocked.

Meanwhile, the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword and Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword crisscrossed in the air, attacking the Purple Jade Celestial Python.

After several exchanges, even with the Vast Heaven Mirror in hand, the Purple Jade Celestial Python was still at a disadvantage against Lu Ping.

Whoosh.

The Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword and Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword, one righteous and one evil, each emitted dazzling sharpness from their tips, firmly targeting the Purple Jade Celestial Python.

Recognizing that even with the Vast Heaven Mirror, he was still being bested by Lu Ping’s opponent, the Purple Jade Celestial Python shifted from attack to defense, positioning the Vast Heaven Mirror in front of him.

The dual swords hung in the air, pointing directly at the Purple Jade Celestial Python.

At this moment, with a mere thought from Lu Ping, these two swords could unleash immense power once more to slay yet another Nascent Soul Demon Emperor.

Yet, it wasn’t the time to kill the opponent.

Lu Ping wanted to see what the Purple Jade Celestial Python was plotting, why he dared to openly break the agreement and lead so many demon beasts out of the Southern Wilderness to invade the Chu Kingdom.

Swish, swish, swish.

Simultaneously, several figures swiftly soared into the air, hovering around the Void Cage.

It was Liu Taixuan, Xu Dezhi, Taiqi Peak, and Elder Jiang.

Lu Ping stepped forward one step at a time, standing airily between Taiqi Peak and Elder Jiang, his eyes brimming with divine light, gazing directly at the Purple Jade Celestial Python, his cultivation aura openly emanating.

"Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul Stage!"

"This power..."

At this moment, feeling the advancement in Lu Ping’s strength, Liu Taixuan and Xu Dezhi exchanged glances, deeply shocked.

It wasn’t long since they last saw Lu Ping, yet his strength had advanced so rapidly, reaching this realm so swiftly.

How did he cultivate, with such extraordinary opportunities?

"Who exactly are you?"

Surrounded by several Nascent Soul True Monarchs and still trapped in the Void Cage, the Purple Jade Celestial Python’s expression grew extremely grave, his gaze pinned on Lu Ping, full of dread.

Not to mention temporarily unable to break the Void Cage, he had to face the attack from the Demon Sword and Immortal Sword, making it very troublesome.

At this moment, that peak Nascent Soul cultivator was beyond what he could contend with.

The disparity in strength was so vast that even if several mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Emperors appeared, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

Faced with the Purple Jade Celestial Python’s inquiry, Lu Ping remained calm and slowly spoke, "I am Lu Ping."

A simple declaration resounded through the heavens and earth.

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate him, seeing Lu Ping’s silhouette as so grand, mighty, and unreachable.

"Lu Ping..."

The Purple Jade Celestial Python murmured, he had heard of this name a long time ago, yet at the time, Lu Ping was just a Golden Core cultivator.

A mere Golden Core cultivator was naturally beneath his notice back then, so he didn’t pay much attention.

Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, the other party had achieved such great accomplishments, with cultivation far surpassing his.

Now this is a true prodigy.

"I will give you a chance to speak, explain yourself properly."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Ping directly removed the Void Cage, boldly releasing the Purple Jade Celestial Python.

This action surprised many cultivators nearby, further admiring Lu Ping’s audacity and immense power.

The surprised ones questioned why Lu Ping would release the Purple Jade Celestial Python, wasn’t this giving him a chance to escape?

Those that admired him were in the majority, able to feel Lu Ping’s displayed confidence.

He stood there without restricting or confining, letting you try any trick, yet you would still not escape his grasp.

This was confidence and reliance.
