Shui Miao had cultivated within the Time Tower for over six thousand years. His immortal energy had become incomparably stronger than before, and his Spirit Devouring Power had grown exceptionally formidable. He had reached the peak of the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm. At this moment, he was about to kill Yu Hua, an Immortal Sovereign, two realms higher than himself. This was undoubtedly a bold and earth-shaking battle, one capable of moving heaven and earth and bringing ghosts and gods to tears!
As the Spirit Devouring Power enveloped Yu Hua’s immortal body, it also sealed off his connection to the outside world, preventing him from casting any spells.
Taking advantage of Yu Hua’s lack of protective treasures, the Spirit Devouring Power wildly corroded and consumed his immortal body.
However, Yu Hua’s immortal energy was not so easily eroded.
“Foolish brat! You’re merely a Golden Immortal yet dare to kill this Sovereign? You’re truly too foolish! Now I shall show you the might of an Immortal Sovereign!” Yu Hua instantly sensed Shui Miao’s cultivation level. He calmed down, no longer feeling so threatened.
After all, an Immortal Sovereign dealing with a Golden Immortal was like an adult facing a three-year-old child—completely mismatched.
Immediately, Yu Hua unleashed a surge of immortal energy, attempting to dispel the Spirit Devouring Power.
But upon trying, Yu Hua discovered that this sinister Spirit Devouring Power could not be expelled. Instead, it seeped into his body through his seven orifices and pores, relentlessly gnawing away like countless ants. As it transformed his immortal energy, it transferred the energy into Shui Miao’s body, further enhancing his strength and cultivation!
“This Spirit Devouring Power is indeed mysterious. If I can obtain it, I will surely be able to annihilate all gods and Buddhas across the heavens and unify the Three Realms. I must obtain it and refine it!” Yu Hua’s mind raced. Instantly, he channeled immortal energy to encase a portion of the Spirit Devouring Power within his dantian, attempting to refine it while multitasking. Suddenly, streams of milky-white liquid emerged from the top of his head, pouring down like water. This liquid managed to dispel some of the Spirit Devouring Power, revealing half of Yu Hua’s head.
“What kind of water is this?”
Surprised that the liquid could dispel the Spirit Devouring Power, Shui Miao felt a jolt of alarm, fearing Yu Hua might recognize him. He quickly surged with killing intent, commanding the Spirit Devouring Power to once again viciously attack Yu Hua.
At the same time, Shui Miao changed his form, disguising himself as an unfamiliar old man.
Yu Hua, now able to unleash his immortal energy, immediately employed a soul-splitting technique, dividing his immortal soul into three parts: the Heaven Soul, the Human Soul, and the Yin Soul.
The soul clones could separate all the Spirit Devouring Power into the Yin Soul clone.
After merging the Heaven Soul and Human Soul into one, Yu Hua glared at Shui Miao and coldly laughed, “Old man, let me show you the power of the Celestial Holy Water!” Yu Hua summoned a large amount of the milky-white liquid again, splitting it into two streams. One stream wrapped around the Yin Soul to dispel the Spirit Devouring Power, while the other directly engulfed Shui Miao.
With an Immortal Sovereign’s speed, Shui Miao was utterly unable to defend himself.
Instantly wrapped in the white liquid, Shui Miao felt no threat from it. Instead, it felt like pure spiritual energy, beneficial and harmless.
“Haha! Yu Hua, you think I’m a demon? Your Holy Water seems capable of purifying the body—I’ll accept it without hesitation!” Shui Miao quickly realized the Holy Water contained abundant yang-type spiritual energy, a natural enemy of evil spirits. Immediately, he absorbed the Holy Water into the Time Tower.
Knowing the Holy Water might be a trap, Shui Miao exercised caution.
He feared harming others if he stored the Holy Water in his soul pearl, so he chose to place it in the Time Tower instead.
Inside the tower lived a young dragon, hatched from the Nuwa Stone’s energy. However, it carried a dark aura that made it difficult to tame. Now, the Holy Water could purify it, cleansing its evil essence.
“Old man, who exactly are you?”
Seeing Shui Miao was no demon, Yu Hua was surprised.
Instantly, he channeled immortal energy into a tiger claw and attempted to crush Shui Miao’s soul pearl. However, the soul pearl remained unscathed, easily withstanding Yu Hua’s deadly strike.
“Great! Now I don’t have to fear him anymore!”
Never expecting the soul pearl to become so powerful, Shui Miao felt a surge of excitement. He immediately channeled immortal energy to gather the Holy Water infused with Spirit Devouring Power into his spiritual world. Since the previous batch of Holy Water had caused no issues in the Time Tower, Shui Miao now felt confident.
Changing tactics, Shui Miao withdrew the Spirit Devouring Power and condensed it into a black ghost cleaver, slicing Yu Hua’s Yin Soul into pieces before launching a furious assault!
Even immortal souls felt pain when struck.
Yu Hua was deeply frustrated. Without any immortal treasures at hand, he couldn’t penetrate Shui Miao’s soul pearl.
Unable to harm Shui Miao and fearing his Spirit Devouring Power, Yu Hua was forced into a desperate retreat, evading blow after blow in a humiliating manner.
Adding to his troubles, the Spirit Devouring Power he had absorbed into his dantian required immense immortal energy and intense mental focus to keep under control. In his current weakened state, battling Shui Miao would be even more difficult.
Yet he couldn’t bear to retreat, for Shui Miao still possessed the Nuwa Stone. Missing this opportunity could spell disaster.
“Damn it! What the hell just happened? I almost got blown up! Wait, what is this… what is this…?”
Black Tiger Immortal Sovereign emerged from the nearby Sea of Rakshasa, only to spot an old man chasing and attacking Yu Hua!
Because of his sluggishness, he had earlier been sealed inside a treasure by Hua Yuting. Later, Yu Hua had taken control of the treasure, wrapping it around Shui Miao’s spiritual artifact in an attempt to trap him. Shui Miao then detonated the spiritual artifact, severely injuring Black Tiger, who had lain unconscious at the bottom of the Sea of Rakshasa for a period before finally resurfacing. Just as he emerged, he saw an old man chasing Yu Hua, mercilessly beating him until his clothes were torn and his dignity utterly destroyed. Immediately, Black Tiger dove back into the sea, fleeing in terror.
Black Tiger was a newly promoted Immortal Sovereign.
Though his power was modest, making him the weakest among the three Immortal Sovereigns, he had followed them here, lured by Hua Yuting’s persuasion.
Seeing Yu Hua, the strongest among them, being chased and beaten so badly, Black Tiger didn’t dare to hesitate. He focused solely on escaping.
Black Tiger hadn’t fled far when he spotted a massive, ferocious dragon lurking in the sea.
Using his divine sense, Black Tiger suddenly detected Hua Yuting trapped within the dragon’s belly!
At this moment, Hua Yuting’s immortal soul was weak, overwhelmed by dark, malevolent energy, unable to escape, and on the brink of death.
The Rakshasa Realm was too terrifying for Immortal Sovereigns to survive! This discovery shocked Black Tiger so much that his face turned pale, and he immediately fled towards the surface, channeling all his immortal energy in a desperate escape.
“What?! How could this happen?! Is it an illusion formation?”
Suddenly, Yu Hua noticed the scenery before him becoming hazy and chaotic.
While chasing Yu Hua, Shui Miao multitasked, hastily repairing a formation within the Phantom Mirror. Regardless of its effectiveness, he immediately unleashed an illusion technique on Yu Hua. Yu Hua was already concentrating on suppressing the Spirit Devouring Power while fending off Shui Miao’s attacks. Unprepared for the sudden intrusion of illusory power into his mind, he faltered, allowing Shui Miao to catch up and slash off one of his arms with a single strike!
“Ahh!”
“Damn you!”
Yu Hua screamed in pain. As clarity returned, he quickly dodged while spitting out a large portion of the unrefined Spirit Devouring Power from his dantian.
This Spirit Devouring Power had not only resisted refinement but had also consumed a significant portion of his immortal energy.
Shui Miao immediately reclaimed the expelled Spirit Devouring Power. Instantly, he sensed a sudden transformation in his dantian’s immortal energy, causing his strength to surge dramatically!
“What’s happening?! Could this Spirit Devouring Power, imbued with Immortal Sovereign energy, have assisted me in breaking through my cultivation bottleneck and achieving ascension?!”
Excited by this realization, Shui Miao’s determination surged, and he pursued Yu Hua with even greater ferocity.
“Old man, just you wait! I won’t hold a grudge today, but I will return someday!”
Suddenly, Yu Hua sensed an extraordinary surge of light radiating from Shui Miao’s body as streams of pure immortal energy flowed out. He realized that Shui Miao had broken through the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm and had successfully ascended!
A new Immortal King had been born!
Normally, a transformation of immortality energy wouldn’t be enough to scare Yu Hua into fleeing.
But Yu Hua also noticed that Shui Miao’s Spirit Devouring Power had undergone a transformation alongside his immortal energy!
With the Nuwa Stone now out of reach, if he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.
Yu Hua, wisely keeping a trace of Shui Miao’s Spirit Devouring Power, immediately fled.
Unbeknownst to him, he soon encountered Black Tiger.
Seeing Black Tiger, Yu Hua’s mind raced. He quickly intercepted him, shouting, “Old Black, do you still have any immortal treasures? Lend them to me quickly! After we seize the Nuwa Stone, I’ll give you half of it!”
