“How can immortals be different? Break for me!”
At Wu Ming’s mental command, the Tianming Golden Figure roared: “Zha!”
A dragon-like aura emerged from the golden figure, transforming into the shape of a Xuan Niao, crying out to the heavens.
The sky filled with lightning recoiled at this display, as if even the heavenly punishment had to submit to the might of the golden figure!
With a single punch, space shattered, revealing chaos and darkness, engulfing both the Four-Xiang Immortal and the Bai Lian Immortaless.
“What is an Immortal? What is a blessed paradise? The path of the Tianming Golden Figure is to shatter the void and crush all in its way!”
This punch was ferocious to the extreme and tyrannical beyond measure!
No matter how mighty an Immortal’s abilities, they would still fall to a single punch!
Such brutal and overbearing intent was thus expressed with unrestrained force.
The Four-Xiang Immortal and the Bai Lian Immortaless’s expressions changed drastically.
Their extraordinary spiritual senses made even these two high-level Immortals feel the threat of impending doom!
“Calamity! Unprecedented calamity! A man-made disaster from nowhere! Why didn’t my divination with a sacred tortoise predict this before I set out?”
The Four-Xiang Immortal was astonished.
“Even attaining the Immortal realm still invites calamities unless one remains secluded within a blessed cave paradise…”
The Bai Lian Immortaless bit her cherry lips, her sorrow evident. Anyone without a heart of stone would see it and melt like refined steel into soft silk.
“There’s no choice now but to use our hidden strength and go all out!”
These two Immortals were decisive. Instantly, after exchanging thoughts, two ethereal images appeared behind them.
This was their own blessed land, inherited since their days as Earth Immortals, now elevated to the level of a grotto-heaven paradise, containing centuries of accumulated power.
Now activating secret techniques, the potent energy of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land surged forth.
“These cave heavens and blessed lands are the fruits of my century-long toil! Year after year, I manipulated the sacred realms, drawing earth energy from the Zhou dynasty, balancing yin and yang, and condensing the world’s essence…”
The Four-Xiang Immortal’s heart bled.
“Paradise energy? Break it!”
Wu Ming wielded the Tianming Golden Figure with divine might. Even under the siege of the power from the Blessed Land of Cavern-Heaven, he moved with effortless grace, his golden fists shattering space and rendering all magical techniques useless. Only the energy of the Blessed Land of Cavern-Heaven offered the slightest resistance.
Boom!
Beneath the golden fists, the two illusory paradises of cave heavens and blessed lands recoiled, their immortal figures swaying within, leaving behind trails of emerald blood—jade-like and pure!
This was the blood of Immortals!
Despite the advantage of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land’s energy and outnumbering their opponent two to one, the two Immortals still found themselves at a disadvantage.
“Out of tricks! Die!”
Wu Ming grew fiercer, unleashing black thunder with both hands, relentlessly pursuing them, as if determined to slay both Immortals today!
A flash of light, and rich purple celestial energy surged forth, instantly restoring the two Immortals.
“Bai Lian, we can’t hold back anymore! Our usual paradise energy reserves are no match for him!”
The Four-Xiang Immortal gritted his teeth, seemingly making a decision.
In the next instant, an astonishing force surged forth from the illusory paradise behind him, drawing power from distant realms—vast as an inverted Milky Way—and struck fiercely at Wu Ming.
“You’re insane! To directly utilize the foundation of the blessed land? Aren’t you afraid of disaster and regression back to the blessed land?”
The Bai Lian Immortaless was shocked.
“If not, how can we subdue the Golden Figure? As long as we obtain this treasure, even if we regress back to the blessed land, it’s worth it!”
The Four-Xiang Immortal’s face flushed red.
“Fine! Since you are determined!” The Bai Lian Immortaless clenched her teeth: “I will go all the way with you!”
Boom!
Behind her, the illusion of the Cave-Heaven and Blessed Land unveiled layers of disasters, yet at the same time, a primordial force deep within the Cave-Heaven and Blessed Land was continuously summoned. It merged with the Four-Xiang Immortal’s Milky Way-like power, transforming into two ferocious dragons that descended to strike with lethal intent.
…
The Four-Xiang Paradise.
This was the Four-Xiang Immortal’s blessed land, which had evolved into a self-contained world, complete with seasonal changes and starry skies—the very foundation of his sect.
In a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, astonishing spiritual energy even condensed into white fog, enveloping a palace complex.
Even ordinary people living here could enjoy longevity and be free from illness.
Boom!
Suddenly, an earthquake struck, shaking the palace halls, causing many disciples unaware of the outside world to change expressions.
At the center of the grand hall, a Taoist rushed in: “Patriarch! Our sect’s foundation is in upheaval!”
“I already know!”
The sect leader, a white-haired old Taoist with a youthful face, merely smiled bitterly: “Our sect relies on the blessed land of immortals, protected by an Immortal, free from calamities. But if the blessed land is damaged, we too shall perish!”
“Damaged paradise?”
The Taoist was so frightened he nearly collapsed: “Could it be the Patriarch?”
“Our Patriarch, the Four-Xiang Immortal, attained enlightenment during the Xia dynasty, establishing a blessed land. After five hundred years, it transformed into a celestial grotto and paradise, now spanning a millennium…”
The sect leader sighed: “This land has flourished with life and embraced mortals, yet alas, a blessed paradise is not a world unto itself… Even worlds must face cosmic calamities. In all the realms, is there anything truly eternal and undying?”
With a wave of his hand, several wisps of smoke formed images.
The Taoist was stunned, recognizing them as the few mortal towns beneath the mountain, sheltered by the sect.
Compared to the slight tremors in the Taoist palace, the damage there was far worse—ground cracked, buildings collapsed, and the dead and wounded were numerous.
“Patriarch… these mortals below the mountain are not only the source of our disciples but also our flesh and blood…”
The Taoist looked at the images of the mortals’ numbness, crying out.
“How can I not know? How can I not want to save them? But not that I don’t want to, but that I cannot!”
The sect leader sighed heavily.
Without an Immortal to suppress the earth dragon, how could his meager strength possibly control it? Even if it weren’t the mighty dragon veins of Shenzhou, just a single Cave-Heaven Earth Dragon would already be beyond his capability to manage.
Unless an Immortal mobilized the foundation of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, how could such a catastrophe occur?
In truth, the mastermind behind this calamity was the Four-Xiang Immortal himself!
But since this celestial paradise was originally his own blessed land elevated, what could they say?
Thus, they could only remain silent.
Seeing this, the Taoist was furious, yet not a word could he utter!
…
The same scene unfolded in the Bai Lian Paradise.
Although the foundation of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land suppressed it, even as Immortals were its masters and could freely mobilize its power, exceeding certain limits would inevitably endanger the inhabitants of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. Furthermore, the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land might degenerate, shrinking its territory back to a mere Blessed Land!
And these calamities, resentment, and karmic retribution would ultimately fall upon the Immortals.
Thus, the actions of the Four-Xiang Immortal and the Bai Lian Immortaless were truly injuring the enemy at a thousandfold cost to themselves—not shedding blood, but literally cutting flesh!
Roar!
Zha!
Two streams of celestial energy, like ferocious dragons descending to slay, entwined with the Tianming Golden Figure. The overwhelming force finally gained the upper hand for the first time, pressing down upon Wu Ming.
“Good! Press the advantage! Even if the blessed lands deteriorate and mortals perish in droves, we must subdue this man!”
The Four-Xiang Immortal roared: “I’ll pin the Golden Figure, and the Immortaless will force out his soul!”
In an instant, he drew more energy from the Blessed Land, causing the Four Symbols illusion behind him to shrink continuously, its edges disintegrating into nothingness as countless mortals perished in droves.
Yet the Four-Xiang Immortal disregarded all, resolute in his actions. The astonishing energy of the cave-heaven and blessed land morphed into shackles, immobilizing the Tianming Golden Figure.
“It resists too fiercely! I can hold for ten breaths at most, Immortaless!”
The Four-Xiang Immortal’s eyes bled.
“Heavenly Paradise energy, empower me, Immortal techniques, merge with my soul! Swiftly!”
The energy of the blessed land condensed, forming a lotus petal in the hand of the Bai Lian Immortaless, which then shot into the sky.
When it reappeared, it was at the Tianming Golden Figure’s forehead.
Crack!
A flash of white light, the Golden Figure staggered backward, its forehead cracking, faintly echoing dragon roars and phoenix cries, as a glowing orb emerged.
“The Tianming Golden Figure may be indestructible, but your soul is still at the Earth Immortal level!”
The Bai Lian Immortaless smiled.
Earth Immortals could dominate the Zhou world, even subdue a dynasty and assist a hidden dragon to ascend the throne, without interference from the blessed lands and celestial grottoes.
Yet amidst the grand changes of heaven and earth and the battle between the twelve Golden Figures and Immortals, Earth Immortals were still too weak.
Below sixth level, all are but ants!
“Seize it!”
The Bai Lian Immortaless summoned the energy of the blessed land and celestial grotto into threads, seizing the opportunity to separate the Primordial Maiden Celestial Pearl from the Tianming Golden Figure, completely capturing and sealing Wu Ming.
“This man’s origins are mysterious… I couldn’t even divine his roots, yet he knows so many secrets of the previous dynasty and seems to have an unclear connection with my bloodline, possibly related to the terrifying divine artifact that emerged during the great upheaval of the Shang dynasty! I must not slacken!”
In the Bai Lian Immortaless’s eyes, Wu Ming’s value was no less than the Tianming Golden Figure!
Thinking back to the Main Temple that transcended all worlds, omnipresent and omnipotent, defeating many great cultivators, even the Bai Lian Immortaless couldn’t help but feel her heart race.
—It was from that event that successive great cultivators noticed the Main Temple and the Reincarnators, influencing the court to establish the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, searching the world.
But alas, the Reincarnators were too secretive, with the Main Temple’s suppression and elimination, no news ever emerged.
But this time, the Bai Lian Immortaless saw an opportunity.
“My descendant was mysterious, seemingly connected to that artifact. I pretended not to notice, feigning affection, making others think I just favored Luoyan, but in truth, I used her as bait… Today, finally, I’ve caught a big fish!”
The face of the Bai Lian Immortaless lit up with joy as the energy of the blessed paradise unfurled like silk, poised to extract the soul of the Yuan Nu Tian Zhu.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred!
Space flickered, and a figure shot in, numerous artifacts exploding from his body, generating massive force, rushing to the Tianming Golden Figure.
“Haha… Finally, I’ve waited until after the Golden Figure’s heavenly tribulation, when you’re at your weakest!”
The Main Temple’s will sneered: “How could I not know Gongshu Zhe’s secret? Everything of yours will be my stepping stone!”
