The emerald-armored youth Yaohai gazed coldly and roared, “Reckless!”
Boom!
The shockwave exceeded normal sound propagation speeds. Transmitted by the power of Immortality, it instantly struck the enemy outside the palace. With Yaohai’s abilities, he easily detected three immense auras hidden above the imperial palace—three Immortal Deities.
“What’s going on?” a white-haired elder, his hair as pure as snow, frowned.
“There are intruders,” Yaohai transmitted telepathically. “Three of them, very powerful, but they don’t feel like humans.”
“Alien invasion?” The elder’s fury surged.
“Hmph, watch me deal with them. Daring to trespass into human territory? They’re asking for death.” Yaohai sneered and, in an instant, transformed into a green streak of light that tore through the ceiling of the banquet hall. The building materials of the ceiling seemed to evaporate into nothingness as the green streak pierced through.
Suddenly, a pitch-black hammer, glowing with blinding golden light, appeared abruptly in front of the green streak.
“Ahh!”
Yaohai, clad in emerald battle armor, changed expression drastically. He hadn’t sensed the enemy at all until it was already upon him. The massive black hammer smashing toward him seemed to engulf the surrounding space, as though the entire sky were collapsing. The terrifying pressure left Yaohai with no confidence to resist.
“King-level!!” Yaohai screamed as he swung his right fist. His fist appeared to be covered in a mesh-like gauntlet.
The two clashed instantly. Before the impact, neither the hammer nor Yaohai’s fist caused any ripples—indicating an extreme concentration of energy. But the moment they touched—
“BOOOOM!!!”
The point of impact instantly became a dazzling sun. The terrifying heat alone warped the surrounding space. The shockwave from the collision of immense Immortal forces first obliterated the banquet hall below. The imperial aristocrats and elites screamed in terror, swept away by the residual waves—some reduced to ashes, others pierced through their bodies.
Screams and cries were completely drowned out by the terrifying shockwave.
Within a radius of three thousand kilometers around the palace.
The citizens outside the palace on the capital planet suddenly noticed… an eerie silence emanating from the palace, as though even the wind had vanished.
“Boom!”
Then the entire palace exploded violently, like a tidal wave, shaking and undulating. All the buildings were instantly reduced to rubble. The shockwave, infused with Immortal force, even caught some unlucky Sovereigns in its path, causing them to explode into death.
“Look, the palace exploded!”
“The palace… ah!”
Many citizens of the capital planet, witnessing that nightmarish scene and feeling the tremors beneath their feet, were utterly stunned.
…
In the outer space above the capital planet, the Yimo Starship floated silently in the void.
“Scan the capital planet and relay the battle visuals,” Luo Feng ordered inside the control room.
“Yes,” Babata replied excitedly.
Hiss!
A three-dimensional holographic projection appeared. Luo Feng, the Ninth Army Commander, Dylan, and Kashna all watched the screen. The screen displayed three scenes simultaneously—two peaceful, and one where more than half the palace had already turned to ruins.
“I wonder if Yaohai is dead yet,” Kashna muttered.
“Yaohai will die,” Luo Feng stared at the screen.
…
Inside the palace.
The battle erupted suddenly. The King-ranked Immortal deity Sifanqi had been hiding and seized the perfect moment for a surprise attack. Although Yaohai desperately resisted, he was still struck by the hammer, his entire body reduced to dust—his flesh and bones shattered beyond recognition.
“Teacher!” Jephries’ face paled.
“You dare to act so brazenly in human territory, alien scum!” The white-haired elder radiated dazzling light, like a star.
“Lord Longchi, I beg you to aid me in avenging my master and slaying these foreign fiends!” Jephries cried out in desperation.
At that very moment, three overwhelming auras descended from the heavens, while from another direction, like bolts of lightning, three more formidable presences surged forth.
Six Marquis-ranked Celestial Divinities had arrived at once!
The six Marquis-ranked Immortals charged into the ruins.
“Yaaah!” Jephries roared as he soared into the sky.
“Aliens, die!” The white-haired elder Longchi also roared as he charged upward.
“Boom!”
Jephries immediately collided with a Hou-ranked Immortal from the Tawen Clan of the golden-horned tribe. The resulting shockwave of immortal energy violently shook the already devastated palace once more.
“Yaaah!” Jephries’ face twisted in fury.
“Hiss!”
A golden beam sliced across Jephries’ waist, cleaving him in two. Then an even stronger golden beam descended—pouring onto Jephries’ severed body, causing it to sizzle and corrode until it vanished completely.
“Longchi!!!” Jephries’ roar echoed over the ruins of the palace before his death.
Jephries probably couldn’t believe it even in his final moments…
That Longchi would turn against him!
The white-haired elder hovered midair, smirking coldly. “Daring to betray humanity? Die!”
“Betray humanity? Didn’t expect you to find out,” a cold, sharp voice echoed. In the distance, massive Immortal forces gathered into a hazy figure—the reborn Yaohai. Yaohai glared venomously at the white-haired elder, then at the Tawen warriors chasing him.
Swoosh!
Yaohai fled swiftly.
“Run?”
“We’ve been waiting for you to reform your body.” An ancient voice sounded. The golden-armored elder nearly instantaneously blocked Yaohai’s path.
“Teleportation?”
Yaohai screamed, his face turning pale.
Meanwhile, the white-haired elder Longchi, watching silently from afar, sneered. “What a fool. Betraying humanity and still hoping to live? Do you think the Virtual Universe Company would give you a chance to escape? But this time… the alien Immortal warriors sent are indeed strong. A King-ranked Immortal capable of teleportation… Yaohai is finished!”
…
In space.
Inside the Yimo Starship, Luo Feng, the Ninth Army Commander, Dylan, and Kashna all watched the screen displaying the battle visuals.
“Hmm, Jephries is dead?” Luo Feng was surprised. “Just like that?”
Immortal deities are hard to kill.
Yet Jephries died so quickly.
“Your Highness,” Dylan smiled faintly. “Jephries himself was still weak, having not yet attained the perfected ‘Immortal Body.’ The one who struck him down was Longchi of the Galactic Nation—a Marquis-ranked Immortal who has mastered both the Light Source Laws and Time Laws. Those who wield the Light Source Laws are inherently skilled in ‘purification.’ By weaving together Time and Light to create temporal effects, completely purifying and erasing an ordinary Immortal poses no difficulty at all.”
(Note: I’ve adjusted “侯-ranked” to “Marquis-ranked” as it’s the standard English equivalent for that noble title in xianxia/xuanhuan contexts. The rest maintains the fantasy tone with appropriate capitalization for titles like “Immortal Body” and “Laws.” The phrasing flows naturally while preserving the original meaning.)
Luo Feng nodded.
“But killing Yaohai will be much harder,” Dylan frowned at the screen.
“Yaohai has achieved the ‘Immortal Body,’” the Ninth Army Commander said gravely. “Even if you reduce him to dust, he can reform his body. To kill him… there are two common methods: annihilation or soul destruction. However, Elder Sifanqi of the Golden-Horned Clan isn’t skilled in soul attacks, so… only annihilation remains!”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
True Immortal deities who have achieved perfected Immortal Bodies are extremely difficult to kill.
Back in Chaos City, even the mighty Chaos City Lord didn’t kill the two Immortals. Of course, that was mainly because he held back. Even so, his palm strike was terrifying. The reason they survived was the Immortals’ resilience.
Ordinary Immortal deities, whose spiritual imprints and body cells are not perfectly fused, can be killed by repeated strikes.
But once they achieve the Immortal Body…
Any fragment of their cells, even if shattered, will reform. Their energy is barely consumed! Relying solely on brute force, even striking them hundreds or thousands of times won’t kill them. It’s easier to just seal them instead.
‘Soul Destruction’ was how Hu Yanbo died.
His body energy remained intact, but it was as if poisoned—his spiritual imprints were infiltrated. Over time, all his imprints shattered… and he died.
To achieve this, first, there must be a massive power gap. Second, one must specialize in soul attacks.
Annihilation!
It’s purely about energy consumption—continuously annihilating the opponent’s Immortal force until none remains. When an Immortal deity is completely annihilated, with no energy left, they die for good. This method requires overwhelming superiority and consumes an immense amount of Immortal force.
The cost is too great… it severely affects one’s own strength!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
On the screen, eight figures continuously clashed with one.
“Roar~~~”
“Hiss~~”
Watching the besieged Immortal Yaohai roar, the crystal on his forehead emitted visible emerald light radiating outward. Instantly, the control room’s Dylan and the Ninth Army Commander gasped in alarm.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng was startled.
“The soul attack technique of the insect race,” Dylan said solemnly.
“Exactly like a real insect race’s technique,” the Ninth Army Commander added gravely.
The battle continued.
Encircled by one Monarch-tier and seven Marquis-tier Immortals—particularly Elder Sifanqi, the Monarch-tier Immortal who willingly expended immense reserves of his own celestial power to obliterate Yaohai—the founding emperor of the Mengyou Dynasty saw his divine essence steadily erode. At last, with a roar of unyielding defiance, his form crumbled into dissolution.
“Congratulations, Your Highness! Yaohai is dead! His Immortal force has weakened to the point where he can no longer form a divine body,” Dylan smiled.
“Congratulations, Your Highness,” the Ninth Army Commander also smiled.
Luo Feng nodded.
Gazing at the capital planet, where nearly a fifth of it had turned to ruins, he ordered, “Proceed. Begin the elimination of the 120 million targets.”
