Black Tiger Sage Lord extended his divine consciousness to scrutinize Feathers Sage Lord meticulously, scanning him several times. Convinced that Feathers was indeed genuine, he finally dared to acknowledge him: “Oh my god, big brother, you’re alive! I thought you were chopped to death by that old man!”
“What, you saw me?!” Feathers Sage Lord suddenly realized and rushed forward, landing a heavy punch on Black Tiger. “You damn Black Tiger, you actually watched me get attacked without helping! I even considered you a brother…”
“Brother, please stop hitting me!” Black Tiger, a bit slow-witted, was punched before realizing he had blurted out something he shouldn’t have, hastily making excuses: “Brother, I was gravely injured too! My protective artifact was destroyed, and I sustained severe internal injuries. How could I possibly assist you?”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you were slashed to death by that old man!”
“What? You saw me?!” The Feathering Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and stepped forward, delivering a fierce punch to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. “You damn bastard, Black Tiger! You actually stood by and watched me get cut down without helping? And I considered you a brother…”
“Big brother, stop hitting me, please stop…” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only remembered he had slipped up after being punched. He hurriedly tried to cover it up: “Big brother, I was seriously injured too! I was blown up so badly I lost even my protective treasures, and my internal injuries are severe. How could I have helped you?”
“Enough, I don’t want to hear it. Hand over your immortal artifacts now. I need to deal with that old turtle—he’s out of netherworld artifacts now. This time, I’ll definitely catch him.” The Feathering Immortal Venerable urged Black Tiger to hand over the artifacts while grumbling: “Luckily, he’s only just been promoted to Immortal Lord. His current immortal power is at most equivalent to thirty heavenly horses. If he were to advance once more, given the power of his Soul Devouring ability, I truly wouldn’t be able to handle him. A prodigy like him must be eliminated early, or he’ll become a major threat to us.”
The immortal realm has a complete system for measuring the depth of immortal power, with three testing methods: the Strength of the Titans, the Power of Heavenly Horses, and the Might of Azure Dragons. Simply put, it involves immortals using their power to engage in a tug-of-war with titans, heavenly horses, or azure dragons. The stronger the immortal, the greater the power they can exert.
The Strength of the Titans refers to the physical power of titans in the immortal realm. Generally, a single titan can lift 30,000 jin (approx. 15,000 kg). A Golden-Bodied Titan can lift 500,000 jin (approx. 250,000 kg). Thus, ten Golden-Bodied Titans can lift a mountain.
Typical wandering immortals, loose immortals, and flying immortals test their power against Golden-Bodied Titans. An immortal who can outmatch ten Golden-Bodied Titans in a tug-of-war can be promoted to a Flying Immortal. A Superior Immortal can match fifty Golden-Bodied Titans.
The Power of Heavenly Horses: one heavenly horse is equivalent to ten Golden-Bodied Titans. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess the power of at least ten heavenly horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one needs the power of fifty heavenly horses, though to qualify as an Immortal Lord, one must have at least the strength of fifty-five heavenly horses. An Immortal Elder requires the power of one hundred heavenly horses.
The Might of Azure Dragons: one azure dragon is equivalent to one hundred heavenly horses, which is exactly the requirement for an Immortal Elder. A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess the power of at least five azure dragons.
The Immortal Emperor is even more terrifying—one must possess the power of one hundred azure dragons to become an Immortal Emperor.
Of course, Feathering Immortal Venerable and Black Tiger Immortal Venerable’s presence in the Raksha Realm violated the laws of the Three Realms. Here, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, where Yin and evil energies are abundant, they could only utilize about one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty heavenly horses. In other words, here, they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
Together, Feathering and Black Tiger could easily overpower Shui Miao three times over, completely suppressing him.
However, Feathering did not mention the Soul Devouring power in front of Black Tiger.
Hearing Feathering’s words, Black Tiger was tempted. “Big brother, I only have three artifacts left. One is my life-bound Tiger Treasure, which I can’t give you. Another is my Divine Power Gauntlet, which I need for myself. The last is a top-grade immortal artifact, the Jasper Gourd, which I use to store pills. You probably have no use for it, right?”
Black Tiger was never well-off, something Feathering knew well. By saying this, Black Tiger was subtly expressing his reluctance to lend his artifacts.
Unexpectedly, Feathering immediately said, “The Jasper Gourd is exactly what I need. I’ll use it to suppress him. Once I take him back to my cave, I’ll refine him in my Supreme Artifact Forging Furnace. By then, he’ll be dead for sure. When we return, I’ll compensate you with a supreme-grade immortal artifact.”
“Good, good! You said it yourself!”
Seeing a great bargain, Black Tiger perked up immediately. His gourd contained over a dozen Soul Pills, which weren’t particularly valuable, so he handed both the gourd and the pills to Feathering. Feathering, who was slightly injured, shared the pills with Black Tiger, and the two of them charged back into battle.
※※※
Leaving aside Feathering and Black Tiger’s return, let’s focus on Shui Miao. His power had transformed, his strength had greatly increased, and his Soul Devouring power had advanced as well, multiplying several times over.
Shui Miao was ecstatic, feeling as though he had limitless power.
Just as Shui Miao was about to leave and return to the Valley of Forgotten Souls in the Raksha Realm to find Buyi and shamelessly ask for materials to craft a Time Pearl, the leader of the Evil Dragon Venerables found him. He begged Shui Miao to help him deal with Hua Yuting, who was trapped in his belly. It turned out the dragon leader had exhausted his vitality and power, unable to fully refine Hua Yuting, and had no choice but to seek Shui Miao’s help.
Shui Miao didn’t have a good impression of the other dragon venerables, but he thought highly of this leader. Moreover, the target was Hua Yuting, so Shui Miao agreed without hesitation. Having just been promoted to Immortal Lord, Shui Miao fully channeled his immortal and Soul Devouring powers, effortlessly refining Hua Yuting, who was already on the brink of death.
An Immortal Venerable—even in the immortal realm—was an extraordinary existence. Hua Yuting had first been hit by the self-destruction of five hundred netherworld artifacts, which destroyed his protective treasures and severely injured him. Then, Feathering took his remaining artifacts, and the dragon venerables had been refining him all this time, leaving him with barely any life force. Finally, Shui Miao’s furious assault ended him without a doubt.
Hua Yuting sensed the terror of the Soul Devouring power and, utterly powerless and despairing, relied on his life talisman stored in the immortal realm to potentially revive. He self-destructed his immortal body, but since his body was extremely weak, the explosion was minimal.
He had actually killed Hua Yuting! Overjoyed, Shui Miao quickly sat down with the dragon leader on the Evil Dragon Island. Both circulated their energy, absorbing the residual aura left by the dragon leader to nourish their clouds, heal their injuries, and reap great benefits.
“Damn it! That cursed Feathering Immortal Venerable is back again!”
While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes and saw Feathering in the distant sky, riding the Jasper Gourd and charging straight toward him…
“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!”
Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted letting his guard down. If only he hadn’t foolishly stayed here—he should have run away sooner!
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you were slashed to death by that old man!”
“What? You saw me?!” The Feathering Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and stepped forward, delivering a fierce punch to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. “You damn bastard, Black Tiger! You actually stood by and watched me get slashed without helping? And I considered you a brother…”
“Big brother, stop hitting me, please stop…” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only remembered he had slipped up after being punched. He hurriedly tried to explain, “Big brother, I was seriously injured too! I was blown up so badly I lost even my protective treasures, and my internal injuries are severe. How could I have helped you?”
“Forget it, I won’t argue with you. Hand over the immortal artifacts you have on you. I need to deal with that old turtle—he’s out of netherworld artifacts now. This time, I’ll definitely catch him.” The Feathering Immortal Venerable urged the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable to hand over the artifacts while grumbling, “Luckily, he’s only just been promoted to Immortal Lord. His current immortal power is at most equivalent to thirty celestial horses. If he were to advance once more, given the power of his Soul Devouring force, I truly wouldn’t be able to handle him. A prodigy like him must be eliminated early, or he’ll become a major threat to us.”
The immortal realm has a complete system for measuring the depth of immortal power, with three testing methods: the Strength of the Mighty, the Strength of Celestial Horses, and the Strength of Azure Dragons. Simply put, it’s a tug-of-war between an immortal’s power and that of mighty beings, celestial horses, or Azure Dragons. The stronger the immortal, the greater the power they can wield.
The Strength of the Mighty refers to the physical power of mighty beings in the immortal realm. Generally, an average mighty being can lift 30,000 jin (approx. 15,000 kg). A Golden Body Mighty Being can lift 500,000 jin (approx. 250,000 kg). Thus, ten Golden Body Mighty Beings can lift a mountain.
Typical wandering immortals, loose immortals, and flying immortals test their power against Golden Body Mighty Beings. An immortal who can win a tug-of-war against ten Golden Body Mighty Beings can be promoted to a flying immortal. A superior immortal can match fifty Golden Body Mighty Beings.
The Strength of Celestial Horses: One celestial horse is equivalent to ten Golden Body Mighty Beings. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess the power of at least ten celestial horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one must have the power of fifty celestial horses, though to qualify as an Immortal Lord, one needs at least the strength of fifty-five celestial horses. An Immortal Elder requires the power of one hundred celestial horses.
The Strength of Azure Dragons: One Azure Dragon is equivalent to one hundred celestial horses, exactly meeting the requirement for an Immortal Elder. A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess the power of at least five Azure Dragons. An Immortal Emperor is even more terrifying—one must wield power equivalent to one hundred Azure Dragons to become an Immortal Emperor.
Of course, the Feathering Immortal Venerable and the others had come to the Raksha Realm in violation of the laws of the Three Realms. Upon arriving, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, brimming with sinister energy, they could wield at most one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty celestial horses. This meant that here, they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
Together, the Feathering Immortal Venerable and the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable could suppress Shui Miao three times over, completely immobilizing him. However, the Feathering Immortal Venerable did not mention the Soul Devouring force in front of the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
Hearing the Feathering Immortal Venerable’s words, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was tempted. “Big brother, I only have three artifacts left. One is my life-bound Tiger Treasure, which I can’t give you. Another is my Divine Power Glove, which I need for myself. The last is a top-grade immortal artifact, the Green Jade Gourd, which I use to store pills. You probably have no use for it, right?”
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was never well-off, something the Feathering Immortal Venerable knew well. By saying this, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was subtly reluctant to lend out his artifacts.
Unexpectedly, the Feathering Immortal Venerable immediately said, “The Green Jade Gourd is exactly what I need. I’ll use it to suppress him. Once I take him back to my cave, I’ll refine him in my Supreme Artifact Refining Furnace. There’s no way he’ll survive that. When we return, I’ll compensate you with a supreme-grade immortal artifact.”
“Good, good! You said it yourself!” Seeing a great advantage, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable perked up immediately.
The gourd contained over a dozen Soul Immortal Pills, which weren’t particularly valuable, so he handed both the gourd and the pills to the Feathering Immortal Venerable. The Feathering Immortal Venerable, who was slightly injured, shared the pills with the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, and the two of them charged back together.
※※※
Setting aside the return of the Feathering Immortal Venerable and the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, let’s turn our attention to Shui Miao. His immortal power had undergone a transformation, his strength had significantly increased, and his Soul Devouring force had also advanced, multiplying its power several times over.
Shui Miao was overjoyed, feeling as if he possessed boundless strength. Just as he was about to depart and return to the Valley of Forgotten Souls in the Raksha Realm to find Bu Yi and shamelessly request some materials to craft a Time Pearl, the leader of the evil dragon clan approached him. The dragon leader implored Shui Miao to assist him in dealing with Hua Yuting, who was trapped within his body. It turned out that the dragon leader had depleted his vitality and immortal power, rendering him unable to fully refine Hua Yuting, thus compelling him to seek Shui Miao’s aid.
Shui Miao didn’t have a good impression of the other dragon leaders, but he thought highly of this one. Moreover, the target was Hua Yuting, so Shui Miao agreed without hesitation. Having just been promoted to Immortal Lord, Shui Miao fully channeled his immortal power and Soul Devouring force, effortlessly refining Hua Yuting, who was already on the brink of death.
An Immortal Venerable, even in the immortal realm, was an extraordinary existence. Hua Yuting had first been hit by the self-destruction of five hundred netherworld artifacts, which destroyed his protective treasures and severely injured him. Then, the Feathering Immortal Venerable took his remaining artifacts, and he had been continuously refined by the dragon leader until now, leaving him with barely any life force. Shui Miao’s final, storm-like strike left no room for doubt—Hua Yuting was completely annihilated.
Sensing the terror of the Soul Devouring force and unable to resist, Hua Yuting fell into despair. Relying on his life talisman stored in the immortal realm, which allowed him to revive, he self-destructed his immortal body. However, his body was extremely weak, so the explosion was minimal.
He had actually killed Hua Yuting! Overjoyed, Shui Miao quickly sat down with the dragon leader on the Evil Dragon Island, both circulating their energy and absorbing the residual aura left by the dragon leader. They nourished their energy, healed their injuries, and both gained tremendous benefits.
“Damn it! That cursed Feathering Immortal Venerable is back again!” While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes and saw the Feathering Immortal Venerable in the distant sky, riding the Green Jade Gourd and flying directly toward him…
“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!” Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted his carelessness—if only he hadn’t foolishly stayed here meditating and had run away earlier!
The strength of a warrior refers to the might of an Immortal Realm warrior. Normally, an average Immortal Realm warrior can lift approximately 30,000 catties. A Golden Body Warrior can lift as much as 500,000 catties, meaning ten Golden Body Warriors could lift an entire mountain.
Common wandering immortals, free immortals, and flying immortals are tested against Golden Body Warriors. An immortal capable of overpowering ten Golden Body Warriors in a tug-of-war can ascend to a flying immortal. Upper Immortals can match fifty Golden Body Warriors.
The strength of a celestial horse equals ten Golden Body Warriors. A true Great Immortal must possess at least ten celestial horses’ worth of strength. To ascend to Sage Emperor, one must command at least fifty celestial horses’ worth of power, though to qualify as a Sage Emperor, one must possess no less than fifty-five celestial horses’ strength. Immortal Elders require one hundred celestial horses’ power.
The might of a green dragon equals one hundred celestial horses, matching an Immortal Elder’s strength standard. A qualified Sage Lord must possess the power of at least five green dragons. An Immortal Emperor is even more terrifying—only those whose power equals one hundred green dragons can ascend to Immortal Emperor.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you were slashed to death by that old man!”
“What? You saw me?!” The Feathering Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and stepped forward, delivering a solid punch to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. “You damn bastard, Black Tiger! You actually stood by and watched me get slashed without helping? And I considered you a brother…”
“Big brother, stop hitting me, please stop…” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only remembered he had slipped up after being punched. He hurriedly tried to explain himself: “Big brother, I was seriously injured too! I was blasted so badly I lost even my protective treasures, and my internal injuries are severe. How could I have helped you?”
“Enough, I don’t want to hear it. Hand over your immortal artifacts now. I need to deal with that old turtle—he’s out of netherworld artifacts now.

The Power of Warriors refers to the strength of immortal realm warriors. Typically, an average immortal realm warrior can lift 30,000 jin (approx. 15,000 kg). A Golden Body Warrior can lift 500,000 jin (approx. 250,000 kg). Thus, ten Golden Body Warriors can lift a mountain.
Ordinary wandering immortals, loose immortals, and flying immortals usually test their power against Golden Body Warriors. An immortal who can outmatch ten Golden Body Warriors in a tug-of-war can be promoted to a flying immortal. A superior immortal can match fifty Golden Body Warriors.
The Power of Heavenly Horses: One heavenly horse is equivalent to ten Golden Body Warriors. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess the power of at least ten heavenly horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one needs the power of fifty heavenly horses, but to qualify as an Immortal Lord, one must have at least the power of fifty-five heavenly horses. An Immortal Elder requires the power of one hundred heavenly horses.
The Power of Azure Dragons: One azure dragon is equivalent to the power of one hundred heavenly horses, which is exactly the requirement for an Immortal Elder. A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess the power of at least five azure dragons. The Immortal Emperor is even more formidable—one must possess the power of one hundred azure dragons to become an Immortal Emperor.
Of course, the Feathering Immortal Venerable and Black Tiger’s presence in the Raksha Realm violated the laws of the Three Realms. Here, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, where dark and evil energies are abundant, they could only use, at most, one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to the power of sixty heavenly horses. This meant that, in this realm, they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
Together, the Feathering and Black Tiger Immortal Venerables could easily overpower Shui Miao three times over, completely immobilizing him. However, the Feathering Immortal Venerable did not mention the Spirit Devouring force in front of Black Tiger.

“Good, good! You said it yourself!” Seeing an opportunity for gain, Black Tiger perked up immediately.
The gourd contained over a dozen Soul Immortal Pills, which weren’t particularly valuable, so Black Tiger handed them over along with the gourd. Feathering, who was slightly injured, shared the pills with Black Tiger. After consuming them, the two charged back into battle.
※※※
Leaving aside Feathering and Black Tiger’s return, let’s focus on Shui Miao. His power had transformed, his strength had greatly increased, and his Spirit Devouring force had advanced, multiplying its power several times over.
Shui Miao was ecstatic, feeling as though he had an endless supply of power. Just as he was about to leave and return to the Valley of Forgotten Souls in the Raksha Realm to find Buyi and shamelessly ask for materials to craft a Time Pearl, the leader of the Evil Dragon Venerables found him.

“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!” Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted his carelessness—if only he hadn’t stayed sitting there foolishly and had run away earlier!
In other words, their strength here was barely superior to that of a qualified Sage Emperor.
Feathers Sage Lord and Black Tiger Sage Lord together could easily overpower Shui Miao threefold, completely immobilizing him.
However, Feathers Sage Lord did not mention the Soul Devouring Ability in front of Black Tiger.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you’d been slain by that old man!”
“What? You saw me?!” The Feathering Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and stepped forward, delivering a fierce punch to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. “You damn bastard, Black Tiger! You actually stood by and watched me get cut down without helping? And I considered you a brother…”
“Big brother, stop hitting me, please stop…” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only remembered he had slipped up after being punched.

It turned out the dragon leader, severely depleted of vitality and with exhausted magic power, couldn’t fully refine Hua Yuting and had no choice but to seek Shui Miao’s help. Shui Miao didn’t have a good impression of the other dragon leaders, but he thought highly of this one. Plus, the target was Hua Yuting, so he agreed without hesitation.
Having just been promoted to Immortal Lord, Shui Miao fully channeled his immortal power and Spirit Devouring force, effortlessly refining Hua Yuting, who was on the brink of death. An Immortal Venerable—even in the immortal realm—was an immensely powerful existence.
Hua Yuting had first been hit by the self-destruction of five hundred netherworld artifacts, which destroyed his protective treasures and severely injured him.

Feathers Sage Lord knew Black Tiger wasn’t well-off to begin with.
Black Tiger’s reluctance was evident in his words.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you were slashed to death by that old man!”

The Power of Warriors refers to the strength of immortal realm warriors. Typically, an average immortal realm warrior can lift 30,000 jin. A Golden-Bodied Warrior can lift 500,000 jin. Thus, ten Golden-Bodied Warriors can lift a mountain.
Ordinary wandering immortals, loose immortals, and flying immortals usually test their power against Golden-Bodied Warriors. An immortal who can outmatch ten Golden-Bodied Warriors in a tug-of-war can be promoted to a flying immortal.
A superior immortal can match fifty Golden-Bodied Warriors.
As for Celestial Horsepower, one celestial horse equals ten Golden-Bodied Warriors. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess the power of at least ten celestial horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one needs the power of fifty celestial horses, but to qualify as an Immortal Lord, at least fifty-five celestial horsepowers are required.
An Immortal Elder requires the power of one hundred celestial horses.
The Power of Azure Dragons: one azure dragon equals the power of one hundred celestial horses, which is exactly the requirement for an Immortal Elder.
A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess the power of at least five azure dragons.
The Immortal Emperor is even more terrifying—one must possess the power of one hundred azure dragons to become an Immortal Emperor.
Of course, the Feathering Immortal Venerable and his companion’s presence in the Raksha Realm violated the laws of the Three Realms. Here, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, brimming with sinister energy, they could wield at most one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty celestial horsepowers.
In other words, here, they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
Together, the Feathering Immortal Venerable and the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable could overpower Shui Miao three times over, completely immobilizing him.
However, the Feathering Immortal Venerable did not mention the Spirit Devouring force in front of the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
Hearing the Feathering Immortal Venerable’s words, Black Tiger was tempted. “Big brother, I only have three artifacts left. One is my life-bound Tiger Treasure, which I can’t give you. Another is my Divine Power Gauntlet, which I need for myself. The last is a top-grade immortal artifact, the Jasper Gourd, which I use to store pills. You probably don’t need that, right?”
The Feathering Immortal Venerable knew Black Tiger was not well-off. By saying this, Black Tiger was subtly reluctant to lend his artifacts.
Unexpectedly, the Feathering Immortal Venerable immediately said, “The Jasper Gourd is perfect. I can use it to suppress him. Once I take him back to my cave, I’ll refine him in my Supreme Artifact Forging Furnace. There’s no way he’ll survive that. When we return, I’ll compensate you with a peerless immortal artifact.”
“Good, good! You said it yourself!”
Seeing a great opportunity for profit, Black Tiger perked up instantly.
The gourd contained over a dozen Soul Pills, which weren’t particularly valuable, so Black Tiger handed them over along with the gourd. The Feathering Immortal Venerable, who was slightly injured, shared the pills with Black Tiger, and the two of them charged back into battle.
※※※
Setting aside the return of the Feathering Immortal Venerable and Black Tiger, let’s turn our attention to Shui Miao. His magical abilities had undergone a transformation, his strength had significantly surged, and his Spirit Devouring force had also progressed, amplifying its power severalfold.
Shui Miao was ecstatic, feeling as though he had limitless power.
Just as Shui Miao was preparing to depart and return to the Forgetful Soul Valley in the Raksha Realm to seek out Bu Yi and shamelessly request materials for crafting a Time Pearl, the leader of the Evil Dragon Venerables approached him. The dragon leader pleaded with Shui Miao to assist in dealing with Hua Yuting, who was trapped within his belly. It turned out that the dragon leader had depleted his vitality and magical power, rendering him incapable of fully refining Hua Yuting, thus compelling him to seek Shui Miao’s aid.
Shui Miao didn’t have a great impression of the other dragon venerables, but he thought highly of this leader. Moreover, since his target was Hua Yuting, Shui Miao agreed without hesitation. Having just been promoted to Immortal Lord, Shui Miao fully channeled his immortal power and Spirit Devouring force, effortlessly refining Hua Yuting, who was already on the brink of death.
An Immortal Venerable—even in the immortal realm—was an extraordinary existence.
Hua Yuting had first been hit by the self-destruction of five hundred netherworld artifacts, which destroyed his protective treasures and severely injured him. Then, the Feathering Immortal Venerable took his remaining artifacts, and the dragon venerables had been refining him all this time. Already at the end of his rope, Shui Miao’s furious assault left him with no chance—he was completely annihilated.
Sensing the terror of the Spirit Devouring force and utterly powerless to resist, Hua Yuting fell into despair. Relying on his life talisman stored in the immortal realm, which would allow him to revive, he self-destructed his immortal body. However, since his body was extremely weakened, the explosion was minimal.
He had actually killed Hua Yuting!
Overjoyed, Shui Miao quickly sat down with the dragon leader on the Evil Dragon Island. Both circulated their energy, absorbing the residual aura left by the dragon leader to nourish their clouds, heal their injuries, and reap tremendous benefits.
“Oh no! Damn it, that Feathering Immortal Venerable is back again!”
While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes and saw the Feathering Immortal Venerable in the distant sky, riding the Jasper Gourd as he flew directly toward them…
“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!”
Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted his carelessness—if only he hadn’t foolishly stayed here meditating. How much better it would have been if he had run away earlier!
“Alright, alright, alright! You said it yourself!”
Seeing an opportunity for gain, Black Tiger’s spirits soared.
Inside Black Tiger’s gourd were a dozen or so Immortal Soul Pills—not particularly valuable—yet he handed over both the gourd and the pills directly. Feathers Sage Lord had sustained some injuries, so he and Black Tiger shared the pills before returning to battle.
※※※
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you were slashed to death by that old man!”
“What? You saw me?!” The Feathering Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and stepped forward, punching the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable hard. “You damn bastard, Black Tiger! You actually stood by and watched me get slashed without helping? And I considered you a brother…”
“Big brother, stop hitting me, please stop…” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only remembered he had slipped up after being punched. He hurriedly tried to explain: “Big brother, I was severely injured too! I was blasted so badly I lost even my protective treasures, and my internal injuries are serious. How could I have helped you?”
“Forget it, I don’t want to hear it. Hand over your immortal artifacts now. I need to deal with that old turtle—he’s out of netherworld artifacts now. This time, I’ll definitely catch him.” The Feathering Immortal Venerable urged Black Tiger to hand over the artifacts while grumbling: “Luckily, he’s only just been promoted to Immortal Lord. His immortal power is at most equivalent to thirty heavenly horses. If he were to advance once more, given the power of his Soul-Devouring Force, I really wouldn’t be able to handle him. A prodigy like him must be eliminated early, or he’ll become a serious threat to us.”
The immortal realm has a complete system for measuring the depth of immortal power, with three testing methods: the Strength of Titans, the Strength of Heavenly Horses, and the Strength of Azure Dragons. Simply put, it’s a tug-of-war between an immortal’s power and that of titans, heavenly horses, or azure dragons. The stronger the immortal, the greater the power.
The Strength of Titans refers to the physical power of titans in the immortal realm. Typically, an average immortal titan can lift 30,000 jin. A Golden-Body Titan can lift 500,000 jin. Thus, ten Golden-Body Titans can lift a mountain.
Ordinary wandering immortals, loose immortals, and flying immortals usually test their power against Golden-Body Titans. An immortal who can win a tug-of-war against ten Golden-Body Titans can be promoted to a Flying Immortal. A Superior Immortal can match fifty Golden-Body Titans.
The Strength of Heavenly Horses: One heavenly horse equals ten Golden-Body Titans. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess the power of at least ten heavenly horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one needs the power of fifty heavenly horses, though qualifying for the title requires at least fifty-five. An Immortal Elder needs the power of a hundred heavenly horses.
The Strength of Azure Dragons: One azure dragon equals the power of a hundred heavenly horses, exactly the requirement for an Immortal Elder. A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess the power of at least five azure dragons.
An Immortal Emperor is even more terrifying—one must possess the power of a hundred azure dragons to become one.
Of course, Feathering Immortal Venerable and Black Tiger’s presence in the Raksha Realm violated the laws of the Three Realms. Here, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, brimming with sinister energy, they could wield at most one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty heavenly horses. This meant they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.

Hearing Feathering’s words, Black Tiger was tempted. “Big brother, I only have three artifacts left. One is my life-bound Tiger Treasure, which I can’t give you.

Black Tiger was never well-off, something Feathering knew well. His words hinted at his reluctance to lend his artifacts.
Unexpectedly, Feathering immediately said, “The Jasper Gourd is perfect. I can use it to suppress him. Once I take him back to my cave, I’ll refine him in my Supreme Artifact Refining Furnace. He won’t survive that. When we return, I’ll compensate you with a supreme-grade immortal artifact.”
“Good, good! You said it yourself!”
Seeing a great opportunity for profit, Black Tiger perked up. His gourd contained over a dozen Soul Pills, which weren’t particularly valuable, so he handed them over along with the gourd. Feathering, who was slightly injured, shared the pills with Black Tiger, and the two charged back into battle.
※※※
Leaving aside Feathering and Black Tiger’s return, let’s focus on Shui Miao. His power had transformed, greatly increasing his strength, and his Soul-Devouring Force had advanced as well, multiplying its power several times over.
Shui Miao was ecstatic, feeling as though he had limitless energy. Just as he was about to leave and return to the Valley of Forgotten Souls in the Raksha Realm to find Buyi and shamelessly ask for materials to craft a Time Pearl, the leader of the Evil Dragon Venerables found him. He begged Shui Miao to help him deal with Hua Yuting, who was trapped in his belly.
It turned out the dragon leader had exhausted his vitality and energy, leaving him unable to fully refine Hua Yuting. Left with no choice, he sought Shui Miao’s help. Shui Miao didn’t have a good impression of the other dragon venerables, but he thought highly of this leader. Moreover, since his target was Hua Yuting, Shui Miao agreed without hesitation.
Having just been promoted to Immortal Lord, Shui Miao channeled his full immortal and Soul-Devouring Power, effortlessly refining Hua Yuting, who was already on the brink of death. An Immortal Venerable—even in the immortal realm—was a formidable existence.
Hua Yuting had first been hit by the self-destruction of five hundred netherworld artifacts, which destroyed his protective treasures and severely injured him. Then, Feathering took his remaining artifacts, and the dragon venerables had been refining him all this time, leaving him with barely any life force. Shui Miao’s final onslaught left no room for doubt—Hua Yuting was completely annihilated.
Sensing the terror of the Soul-Devouring Force, Hua Yuting, powerless to resist and utterly desperate, self-destructed his immortal body, relying on his life talisman stored in the immortal realm for a chance at rebirth. However, his body was so weakened that the explosion was minuscule.
He had actually killed Hua Yuting! Overjoyed, Shui Miao quickly sat down with the dragon leader on the Evil Dragon Island. Both circulated their energy, absorbing the residual aura left by the dragon leader to nourish their clouds, heal their injuries, and reap great benefits.
“Damn it! That cursed Feathering Immortal Venerable is back again!”
While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes to see Feathering in the distant sky, riding the Jasper Gourd and charging straight toward him…
“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!”
Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted letting his guard down. If only he hadn’t foolishly stayed here—he should have run away earlier!
Shui Miao felt extremely excited, sensing an endless supply of power within him.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you’d been slain by that old man!”
“What? You saw me?!” The Feathering Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and stepped forward, delivering a fierce punch to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. “You damned Black Tiger! You actually stood by and watched me get cut down without helping? And I considered you a brother…”
“Big brother, stop hitting me, please stop…” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only remembered he had slipped up after being punched. He hurriedly tried to explain himself: “Big brother, I was seriously injured too! I was blown up so badly I lost even my protective treasures, and my internal injuries are severe. How could I have helped you?”
“Enough, I don’t want to hear it. Hand over your immortal artifacts now. I need to deal with that old turtle—he’s out of netherworld artifacts now. This time, I’ll definitely catch him.” The Feathering Immortal Venerable urged the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable to hand over the artifacts while cursing under his breath: “Luckily, he’s only just been promoted to Immortal Lord. His immortal power is at most equivalent to thirty heavenly horses. If he were to advance once more, given the power of his Spirit Devouring force, I truly wouldn’t be able to handle him. A prodigy like this must be eliminated early, or he’ll become a serious threat to us.”

Of course, the Feathering Immortal Venerable and his companion’s presence in the Raksha Realm violated the laws of the Three Realms. Here, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, overflowing with sinister energy, they could wield at most one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty heavenly horses. In other words, here, they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
Together, the Feathering Immortal Venerable and the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable could overpower Shui Miao three times over, completely suppressing him. However, the Feathering Immortal Venerable did not mention the Spirit Devouring force in front of the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.

The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was never well-off, something the Feathering Immortal Venerable knew well. His words also hinted at his reluctance to lend out his artifacts.

Hua Yuting had first been hit by the self-destruction of five hundred netherworld artifacts, which destroyed his protective treasures and left him severely injured. Then, the Feathering Immortal Venerable took his remaining artifacts. After being refined by the dragon venerables all this time, he was like a lamp running out of oil. Shui Miao’s violent final strike left him unquestionably and utterly dead.
Sensing the terror of the Spirit Devouring force and powerless to resist, Hua Yuting, in complete despair, self-destructed his immortal form, relying on his life talisman stored in the immortal realm for a chance to revive. However, because his immortal form was extremely weak, the self-destruction’s power was minimal.
He had actually killed Hua Yuting! Overjoyed, Shui Miao quickly sat down with the dragon leader on the Evil Dragon Island. Both circulated their energy, absorbing the residual aura left by the dragon leader to nourish their cloud energy, heal their injuries, and reap tremendous benefits.
“Oh no! Damn it, the Feathering Immortal Venerable is back again!” While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes to see the Feathering Immortal Venerable in the distant sky, riding the Green Jade Gourd and flying straight toward him…

His current immortal power is, at most, equivalent to thirty heavenly horses. If he were to advance once more, given the power of his Spirit Devouring force, I really wouldn’t be able to handle him. A prodigy like this must be eliminated early, or he’ll become a major threat to us.”
The immortal realm has a complete system for measuring the depth of immortal power, with three testing methods: the Strength of the Titans, the Strength of Heavenly Horses, and the Strength of Azure Dragons. Essentially, it’s a tug-of-war between an immortal’s power and that of titans, heavenly horses, or azure dragons. The stronger the immortal, the greater the power they can wield.
The Strength of the Titans refers to the physical power of titans in the immortal realm.
Typically, an average immortal realm titan can lift 30,000 jin (approx. 15,000 kg) of weight.
A Golden Body Titan can lift 500,000 jin (approx. 250,000 kg).
Thus, ten Golden Body Titans can lift a mountain.
Ordinary wandering immortals, loose immortals, and flying immortals usually test their power against Golden Body Titans. An immortal who can win a tug-of-war against ten Golden Body Titans can be promoted to a flying immortal.
A superior immortal can match fifty Golden Body Titans.
The Strength of Heavenly Horses: one heavenly horse equals ten Golden Body Titans. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess at least the strength of ten heavenly horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one needs the strength of fifty heavenly horses, but to qualify as an Immortal Lord, at least fifty-five heavenly horses’ strength is required.
An Immortal Elder requires the strength of a hundred heavenly horses.
The Strength of Azure Dragons: one azure dragon equals the strength of a hundred heavenly horses, which is exactly the requirement for an Immortal Elder.
A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess at least the strength of five azure dragons.
An Immortal Emperor is even more terrifying—one must possess the power of a hundred azure dragons to become an Immortal Emperor.
Of course, the Feathering Immortal Venerable and the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable’s presence in the Raksha Realm violated the laws of the Three Realms. After arriving here, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, where Yin and evil energies are abundant, they could, at best, utilize only one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty heavenly horses’ strength.
In other words, here, they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
If the Feathering Immortal Venerable and the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable joined forces, they could easily overpower Shui Miao three times over, completely immobilizing him.
However, the Feathering Immortal Venerable did not mention the Spirit Devouring force in front of the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable.
Hearing the Feathering Immortal Venerable’s words, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable was tempted. “Big brother, I only have three artifacts left. One is my life-bound Tiger Treasure, which I can’t give you. Another is my Divine Power Glove, which I need for myself.

After we return, I’ll compensate you with a supreme-grade immortal artifact.”
“Good, good! You said it yourself!”
Seeing an opportunity for a great deal, the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable perked up immediately.
The gourd contained over a dozen Immortal Soul Pills, which weren’t particularly valuable, so he handed both the gourd and the pills to the Feathering Immortal Venerable. The Feathering Immortal Venerable, who had sustained some injuries, shared the pills with the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. After consuming them, the two charged back into battle.

Finally, Shui Miao’s furious assault ended him without a doubt.
Hua Yuting sensed the terror of the Spirit Devouring force and, utterly powerless and despairing, relied on the fact that his life talisman was stored in the immortal realm, allowing him to revive. He self-destructed his immortal body. However, since his body was extremely weak, the explosion was minuscule.
He had actually killed Hua Yuting!
Overjoyed, Shui Miao quickly sat down with the Dragon Lord on the Evil Dragon Island, both circulating their energy and absorbing the lingering aura of the Dragon Lord. They nourished their cloud energy, healed their injuries, and gained tremendous benefits.
“Damn it! That cursed Feathering Immortal Venerable is back again!”
While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes and saw, in the distant sky, the Feathering Immortal Venerable urging the Green Jade Gourd forward as it shot toward him…
“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!”
Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted his carelessness—if only he hadn’t been sitting around foolishly and had escaped earlier!
Even a Sage Lord is an extraordinary existence in the Immortal Realm.
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you were slashed to death by that old man!”

Typical wandering immortals, loose immortals, and flying immortals test their power against Golden-Bodied Titans. An immortal who can win a tug-of-war against ten Golden-Bodied Titans can be promoted to a Flying Immortal. A Superior Immortal can match fifty Golden-Bodied Titans.
The Strength of Heavenly Horses: One heavenly horse equals ten Golden-Bodied Titans. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess the strength of at least ten heavenly horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one needs the strength of fifty heavenly horses, though to qualify as an Immortal Lord, one must have at least fifty-five heavenly horses’ strength. An Immortal Elder requires the strength of a hundred heavenly horses.
The Strength of Azure Dragons: One azure dragon equals the strength of a hundred heavenly horses, exactly meeting the requirement for an Immortal Elder. A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess the strength of at least five azure dragons. An Immortal Emperor is even more terrifying—one must wield power equivalent to a hundred azure dragons to become one.
Of course, Feathering Immortal Venerable and Black Tiger Immortal Venerable’s presence in the Raksha Realm violated the laws of the Three Realms. Here, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, brimming with sinister energy, they could wield at most one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty heavenly horses. In other words, here, they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
Together, Feathering and Black Tiger could overpower Shui Miao three times over, completely immobilizing him. However, Feathering did not mention the Soul-Devouring Force in front of Black Tiger.
Hearing Feathering’s words, Black Tiger was tempted. “Big brother, I only have three artifacts left. One is my life-bound Tiger Treasure, which I can’t give you. Another is my Divine Power Gauntlet, which I need for myself. The last is a top-grade immortal artifact, the Jasper Gourd, which I use to store pills. You probably don’t need that, right?”
Black Tiger was never well-off, something Feathering knew well. By saying this, Black Tiger was subtly reluctant to lend his artifacts.
Unexpectedly, Feathering immediately said, “The Jasper Gourd is exactly what I need! I’ll use it to suppress him. Once I take him back to my cave, I’ll refine him in my Supreme Artifact Forging Furnace. Then, he’ll surely die. When we return, I’ll compensate you with a supreme-grade immortal artifact.”
“Good, good! You said it yourself!” Seeing a great advantage, Black Tiger perked up immediately.
The gourd contained over a dozen Soul Pills, not particularly valuable, so Black Tiger handed it over along with the pills. Feathering, who was slightly injured, shared the pills with Black Tiger, and the two charged back together.

Leaving aside Feathering and Black Tiger’s return, let’s focus on Shui Miao. His power had transformed, greatly increasing his strength, and his Soul-Devouring Force had advanced severalfold. Shui Miao was thrilled, feeling as if he had limitless power.
Just as Shui Miao was about to leave and return to the Valley of Forgotten Souls in the Raksha Realm to find Bu Yi and shamelessly ask for materials to craft a Time Pearl, the leader of the Evil Dragon Venerables found him. He begged Shui Miao to help deal with Hua Yuting trapped in his belly. It turned out the dragon leader, severely depleted in vitality and with exhausted power, couldn’t fully refine Hua Yuting and had no choice but to seek Shui Miao’s help.
Shui Miao didn’t have a good impression of the other dragon venerables, but he thought highly of this leader. Moreover, since the target was Hua Yuting, Shui Miao agreed without hesitation. Having just advanced to Immortal Lord, Shui Miao fully channeled his immortal power and Soul-Devouring Force, effortlessly refining the critically weakened Hua Yuting on the spot.
An Immortal Venerable—even in the immortal realm—was an formidable existence. Hua Yuting had first been hit by the self-destruction of five hundred netherworld artifacts, destroying his protective treasures and severely injuring him. Then, Feathering Immortal Venerable took his remaining artifacts, and he had been refined by the dragon venerables until now, leaving him on the verge of death. Shui Miao’s final assault left no room for doubt—Hua Yuting was completely annihilated.
Sensing the terror of the Soul-Devouring Force and utterly powerless to resist, Hua Yuting fell into despair. Knowing he had a life talisman stored in the immortal realm allowing rebirth, he self-destructed his immortal form. But because his body was extremely weak, the explosion was minimal.
He had actually killed Hua Yuting! Overjoyed, Shui Miao quickly sat down with the dragon leader on the Evil Dragon Island. Both circulated their energy, absorbing the residual aura left by the dragon leader to nourish their clouds, heal their injuries, and reap great benefits.
“Damn it! That cursed Feathering Immortal Venerable is back again!” While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes to see Feathering in the distant sky, riding the Jasper Gourd and charging straight toward him…
“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!” Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted letting his guard down—if only he hadn’t foolishly stayed sitting here and had run away earlier!
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you were slashed to death by that old man!”
“What? You saw me?!” The Feathering Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and stepped forward, delivering a fierce punch to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. “You damn bastard, Black Tiger! You actually stood by and watched me get slashed without helping? And I considered you a brother…”
“Big brother, stop hitting me, please stop…” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only remembered he had slipped up after being punched. He hurriedly tried to explain: “Big brother, I was seriously injured too! I was blasted so badly I lost even my protective treasures, and my internal injuries are severe. How could I have helped you?”
“Enough, I don’t want to hear it. Hand over your immortal artifacts now. I need to deal with that old turtle. He’s out of netherworld artifacts now, so this time we can definitely capture him.” The Feathering Immortal Venerable urged Black Tiger to hand over the artifacts while grumbling: “Luckily, he’s only just been promoted to Immortal Lord. His current immortal power is at most equivalent to thirty heavenly horses. If he were to advance once more, with the power of his Spirit Devouring force, I truly wouldn’t be able to handle him. Such a prodigious talent must be eliminated early, or else he’ll become a major threat to us.”
The immortal realm has a complete system for measuring the depth of immortal power, with three testing methods: the Power of the Titans, the Power of Heavenly Horses, and the Power of Azure Dragons. Simply put, it’s a tug-of-war between an immortal’s power and that of titans, heavenly horses, or azure dragons. The stronger the immortal, the greater the power they can wield.
The Power of Titans refers to the strength of titans in the immortal realm. Generally, an average titan can lift 30,000 jin (approx. 15,000 kg). A Golden Body Titan can lift 500,000 jin (approx. 250,000 kg). Thus, ten Golden Body Titans can lift a mountain.
Typical wandering immortals, loose immortals, or flying immortals test their power against Golden Body Titans. An immortal who can win a tug-of-war against ten Golden Body Titans can be promoted to a Flying Immortal. A Superior Immortal can match fifty Golden Body Titans.
As for Heavenly Horse Power, one heavenly horse equals ten Golden Body Titans. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess the power of at least ten heavenly horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one needs the power of fifty heavenly horses, but to qualify as an Immortal Lord, at least fifty-five heavenly horses are required. An Immortal Elder needs the power of a hundred heavenly horses.
Azure Dragon Power: one azure dragon equals the power of a hundred heavenly horses, exactly the requirement for an Immortal Elder. A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess the power of at least five azure dragons. The Immortal Emperor is even more terrifying—one must possess the power of a hundred azure dragons to become one.
Of course, Feathering Immortal Venerable and Black Tiger Immortal Venerable’s presence in the Raksha Realm violates the laws of the Three Realms. Here, their immortal power is halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, brimming with sinister energy, they can only use about one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty heavenly horses. In other words, here they are only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
Together, Feathering and Black Tiger could easily overpower Shui Miao three times over, completely immobilizing him. However, Feathering did not mention the Spirit Devouring force in front of Black Tiger.
Hearing Feathering’s words, Black Tiger was tempted. “Big brother, I only have three artifacts left. One is my life-bound Tiger Treasure, which I can’t give you. Another is my Divine Power Gauntlet, which I need for myself. The last is a top-grade immortal artifact, the Jasper Gourd, which I use to store pills. You probably don’t need that, right?”
Black Tiger was never well-off, something Feathering knew well. By saying this, Black Tiger was subtly reluctant to lend his artifacts.
Unexpectedly, Feathering immediately said, “The Jasper Gourd is exactly what I need. I’ll use it to suppress him. Once I take him back to my cave, I’ll refine him in my Supreme Artifact Refining Furnace, and then he’ll be done for. When we return, I’ll compensate you with a supreme-grade immortal artifact.”
“Good, good! You said it yourself!”
Seeing a great bargain, Black Tiger perked up immediately. His gourd contained over a dozen Soul Pills, which weren’t particularly valuable, so he handed them over along with the gourd. Feathering, who was slightly injured, shared the pills with Black Tiger, and the two of them set off again.

Leaving aside Feathering and Black Tiger’s return, let’s focus on Shui Miao, whose power had transformed and greatly increased. His Spirit Devouring force had also advanced, multiplying its strength several times over.
Shui Miao was ecstatic, feeling as though he had limitless power. Just as he was about to leave and return to the Valley of Forgotten Souls in the Raksha Realm to find Bu Yi and shamelessly ask for materials to craft a Time Pearl, the leader of the Evil Dragon Venerables found him. He begged Shui Miao to help him deal with Hua Yuting, who was trapped in his belly.
It turned out the dragon leader had exhausted his vitality and magic power and was unable to fully refine Hua Yuting, forcing him to seek Shui Miao’s help. Shui Miao didn’t have a good impression of the other dragon venerables, but he thought highly of this leader. Moreover, since his enemy was Hua Yuting, Shui Miao agreed without hesitation.
Having just been promoted to Immortal Lord, Shui Miao fully channeled his immortal and Spirit Devouring powers, effortlessly refining Hua Yuting, who was already on the brink of death. An Immortal Venerable—even in the immortal realm—was an formidable existence.
Hua Yuting had first been hit by the self-destruction of five hundred netherworld artifacts, which destroyed his protective treasures and severely injured him. Then, Feathering Immortal Venerable took his remaining artifacts, and he had been continuously refined by the dragon leader until he was at death’s door. Finally, Shui Miao’s violent assault ended him without a doubt.
Hua Yuting sensed the terror of the Spirit Devouring force and, powerless to resist, fell into despair. Relying on his life talisman stored in the immortal realm, which would allow him to revive, he self-destructed his immortal body. However, since his body was extremely weak, the explosion was very small.
He had actually killed Hua Yuting! Overjoyed, Shui Miao quickly sat down with the dragon leader on the Evil Dragon Island. Both circulated their energy, absorbing the residual aura left by the dragon leader to nourish their clouds, heal their injuries, and reap great benefits.
“Damn it! That cursed Feathering Immortal Venerable is back again!” While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes and saw Feathering in the distant sky, riding the Jasper Gourd and flying straight toward him…
“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!” Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted his carelessness—if only he hadn’t foolishly stayed sitting here and had run away earlier!
Shui Miao, thrilled at successfully eliminating Hua Yuting, immediately sat cross-legged with the Dragon Sage on the Demon Dragon Island, both cultivating and absorbing the residual dragon aura and nourishing mists, greatly benefiting their recovery.
“Damn it! The cursed Feathers Sage Lord is back again!”
While meditating, Shui Miao suddenly sensed something amiss and quickly opened his eyes, spotting Feathers Sage Lord flying rapidly from the distant sky, directly propelling the Jade Gourd toward him…
The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable extended his divine sense, carefully scanning the Feathering Immortal Venerable several times. Only after confirming it was truly him did he dare to acknowledge: “Ah, big brother! You… you’re not dead! I thought you were slashed to death by that old man!”
“What? You saw me?!” The Feathering Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and stepped forward, delivering a fierce punch to the Black Tiger Immortal Venerable. “You damn bastard, Black Tiger! You actually stood by and watched me get cut down without helping? And I considered you a brother…”
“Big brother, stop hitting me, please stop…” The Black Tiger Immortal Venerable, not the sharpest tool in the shed, only remembered he had slipped up after being punched. He hurriedly tried to explain: “Big brother, I was seriously injured too! I was blown up so badly I lost even my protective treasures, and my internal injuries are severe. How could I have helped you?”
“Enough, I don’t want to hear it. Hand over your immortal artifacts now. I need to deal with that old turtle—he’s out of netherworld artifacts now. This time, I’ll definitely catch him.” The Feathering Immortal Venerable urged Black Tiger to hand over the artifacts while cursing under his breath: “Luckily, he’s only just been promoted to Immortal Lord. His current immortal power is at most equivalent to thirty heavenly horses. If he were to advance once more, with the power of his Spirit Devouring force, I truly wouldn’t be able to handle him. A prodigy like this must be eliminated early, or he’ll become a serious threat to us.”
The immortal realm has a complete system for measuring the depth of immortal power, with three testing methods: the Strength of Titans, the Strength of Heavenly Horses, and the Strength of Azure Dragons. Simply put, it involves immortals using their power to engage in a tug-of-war with titans, heavenly horses, or azure dragons. The stronger the immortal, the greater the power they can wield.
The Strength of Titans refers to the physical power of titans in the immortal realm.
Generally, an average immortal realm titan can lift 30,000 jin (approx. 15,000 kg).
A Golden Body Titan can lift 500,000 jin (approx. 250,000 kg).
Thus, ten Golden Body Titans can lift a mountain.
Typical wandering immortals, loose immortals, or flying immortals test their power against Golden Body Titans. An immortal who can outmatch ten Golden Body Titans in a tug-of-war can be promoted to a flying immortal.
A superior immortal can match fifty Golden Body Titans.
The Strength of Heavenly Horses: one heavenly horse equals ten Golden Body Titans. A Great Luo Golden Immortal must possess the strength of at least ten heavenly horses to be considered a true Great Luo Golden Immortal. To advance to Immortal Lord, one must have the strength of fifty heavenly horses, though achieving the title requires at least fifty-five.
An Immortal Elder needs the strength of a hundred heavenly horses.
The Strength of Azure Dragons: one azure dragon equals the strength of a hundred heavenly horses, exactly meeting the requirement for an Immortal Elder.
A qualified Immortal Venerable must possess the strength of at least five azure dragons.
An Immortal Emperor is even more formidable, requiring the power of a hundred azure dragons to attain the title.
Of course, Feathering Immortal Venerable and Black Tiger Immortal Venerable’s presence in the Raksha Realm violated the laws of the Three Realms. Here, their immortal power was halved. In a place like the Raksha Sea, brimming with sinister energy, they could wield at most one-fifth of their usual power—equivalent to sixty heavenly horses.
In other words, here, they were only slightly stronger than a qualified Immortal Lord.
Together, Feathering and Black Tiger could overpower Shui Miao three times over, completely immobilizing him.
However, Feathering did not mention the Spirit Devouring force in front of Black Tiger.

Black Tiger was never well-off, something Feathering knew well.
By saying this, Black Tiger was subtly reluctant to lend his artifacts.
Unexpectedly, Feathering immediately said, “The Jasper Gourd is perfect. I can use it to suppress him. Once I take him back to my cave, I’ll refine him in my Supreme Artifact Forging Furnace. There’s no way he’ll survive that. When we return, I’ll compensate you with a supreme-grade immortal artifact.”
“Good, good! You said it yourself!”
Seeing a great bargain, Black Tiger perked up immediately.
The gourd contained over a dozen Soul Pills, which weren’t particularly valuable, so Black Tiger handed it over along with the pills. Feathering, who was slightly injured, shared the pills with Black Tiger, and the two charged back into battle.

While meditating, Shui Miao’s heart suddenly stirred. He opened his eyes to see Feathering in the distant sky, urging the Jasper Gourd forward as he flew directly toward them…
“Crap! What do I do now? Another immortal artifact! And another Immortal Venerable!”
Panic surged in Shui Miao’s heart. He bitterly regretted his carelessness—if only he hadn’t foolishly stayed sitting here and had run away earlier!
Panicked, Shui Miao inwardly regretted his carelessness, wishing he had left earlier instead of sitting here foolishly!
