The entire Xu Yang Immortal Palace was filled with battle groups, with treasures flashing everywhere, colliding and sparkling like fireworks. However, for some, this was the last moment of brilliance in their lives.
The local immortals surged forward, but large numbers were falling. At the same time, the Rebels were also rapidly diminishing. This was a baptism of blood, a life-and-death battle.
No one backed down; even the lowest-ranked Qi Refinement disciples among the Rebels did not retreat.
This was a fight to defend their homeland and loved ones. Retreating meant not only death for themselves but also for countless relatives in the outer city.
They all thought: absolutely not a single local immortal must escape.
The battle had reached a fever pitch. Li Hong had no energy left to pay attention to his companions; all he could see were enemies, and the distance between him and Fuxi Xuanyuan was gradually widening.
Before entering the Immortal Palace, Li Hong had already considered his battle strategy. He couldn't use Five Elements Transformation for fear of repeating the tragedy of Xiaoyao City, where mortals suffered. Therefore, using Ninefold Body together was the best approach. However, the offensive treasures Li Hong was accustomed to using were limited to Yue Que, Lingyi, Divine Dragon Five Elements Shuttle, Divine Slaying Monument, Heartless Shuttle, and his favorite Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade. He needed four more. Thus, he selected four Flying Swords from the batch of Extreme Treasures in Celestial Palace of Leisure and refined them into his body.
These four Flying Swords were modern products of high quality that suited Li Hong's taste. They were all mid-level Extreme Treasures: No Sword, Azure Residence Sword, Crimson Sun Sword, and Emerald Cicada Sword. The No Sword was particularly strange; its blade was as wide as chives and two inches long, entirely transparent like crystal. It released silently when deployed and was Li Hong's most satisfying sword among the four. The Azure Residence Sword emitted a green light like willow leaves and was also two inches long, leaning towards wood in its elemental affinity; the Crimson Sun Sword was fiery red and leaned towards fire; the Emerald Cicada Sword had the most unique shape resembling a green cicada. When released, it could transform into a massive flat green cicada wing-like blade up to two yards wide due to its original owner having exterminated a cicada demon and then custom-making this sword with its soul, leaning towards water in elemental affinity.
Originally, Li Hong could only cultivate Complete Elements treasures, but after ascending to the Immortal Realm, his body had become capable of accommodating multiple attributes. He could now cultivate not only single-attribute treasures but even Lightning attribute treasures. This turned out to be the only benefit discovered from this ascension.
Now Li Hong wielded Vermilion Bird Nine Li Blade with three sword intents—"Chasing Wind," "Soul Severing," and "Slay Dragon"—already perfected beyond measure. Meanwhile, Ninefold Body unleashed Extreme Treasures purely for offense, continuously howling as they attacked any enemy in sight. Ten Li Hongs combined with the inseparable Heavenly Torch formed a three-dimensional formation spanning ten miles around them, leaving carnage in their wake.
Gradually, some clever Rebels began to follow behind this formation, specifically targeting enemies severely injured by Li Hong Tian Zhu. The power of example is boundless. Unbeknownst to them, Li Hong and Heavenly Torch had already moved to the front lines of all battle groups.
With countless Extreme Treasures flashing in every direction, wherever this three-dimensional formation went turned into a blood rain filled with monotonous wails of agony—like an unmatched harvesting machine reaping the lives of local immortals.
Li Hong's Awareness was rapidly depleting; however, he had prepared numerous ancient immortal herbs in his Cosmic Bag. About every fifteen minutes or so, he would take one out and consume it. The bitter juice flowed into his stomach and quickly transformed into Five Elements Spiritual Power, replenishing his depleted Awareness immediately.
Heavenly Torch employed an even more peculiar tactic. He unleashed a giant Fire Dragon over a thousand feet long surrounded by hundreds of dazzling Extreme Treasures that he had requested from Li Hong—strange shapes beyond imagination. At first glance, it looked as if Heavenly Torch was covered in countless strange spikes. But these spikes were deadly!
Wherever he flew, shaking his head and tail or simply colliding with enemies using his sturdy dragon body would send those surrounding Extreme Treasures spiraling toward foes first; then came the second wave from his immensely solid dragon form. No one could withstand such consecutive heavy blows. Occasionally, Heavenly Torch would pull out a bundle of immortal herbs and toss them into his mouth with a few crunches before suddenly roaring with explosive energy as if he had consumed five stones powder. He charged toward areas densely populated with immortals while shaking his head and tail; blood and flesh flew everywhere around him.
The Divine Dragon Lantern and its battle strategy left everyone in awe, but the sight of Li Hong beside the Heavenly Torch was even more intimidating.
A thousand-foot-long crimson blade of light, accompanied by nine lightning-fast Extreme Treasures, swept through the battlefield, leaving severe injuries in its wake and death to those who were struck. In just one round, hundreds or thousands of enemies silently perished.
The simplest techniques turned out to be the most lethal. Before the long blade of light that resembled a dragon and the nine swift sword lights, all intricate maneuvers seemed unnecessary.
Fuxi, Xuan Yuan, Aurora, Tianqi Zi, and others had been trapped in this False Immortal Realm for too long, their cultivation severely diminished. After enduring fierce battles, one by one they suffered injuries, their bodies covered in wounds. Even though they had obtained Spiritual Herbs from Li Hong before setting out to replenish their Spiritual Energy, their energy was depleting rapidly, and they were about to consume the last herb in hand. Fortunately, at that moment, fewer and fewer immortals flew out from the Ascension Pool, and soon they realized that no more immortals were emerging.
This phenomenon caught Fuxi's attention. He looked down in surprise and exclaimed, "Look! What’s happening in the Ascension Pool?"
The water level of the Ascension Pool had decreased by half. Everyone could clearly see a black figure spinning rapidly within the water, gaining speed as it swirled. A deep vortex was gradually forming. The surrounding water rose high while the center sank lower, revealing the bottom of the pool.
“Ling Yanzi!” Li Hong recognized the figure in the water at a glance.
What was he doing in there? Why wasn’t he fighting? Li Hong wondered. But soon enough, he understood what Ling Yanzi was up to.
As the center of the pool continued to lower, it eventually revealed an opening over six feet in diameter.
It was the passage for local immortals to emerge! So Ling Yanzi was cutting off the source! Li Hong cheered loudly.
Exhausted and panting, Ling Yanzi desperately stirred the water and shouted, “Li Hong! Now!”
Though his words were abrupt, Li Hong understood his intent. With a thought, golden light flashed as Yue Que struck like lightning towards the dark opening deep within.
With a thunderous roar, the entire liquidized Celestial Essence of the Ascension Pool shot into the air. Ling Yanzi was also propelled upwards, but he reacted swiftly, almost without hesitation summoning his Youxian Pillow, rushing toward the cascading celestial water.
Li Hong raised an eyebrow and immediately took action.
The river water from that previous Extreme Treasure Yellow Gourd had long been distributed to mortals and was now empty. With focused intent, he saw a yellow shadow flash as every drop of celestial water collected by the Youxian Pillow was absorbed into the Yellow Gourd.
In just a breath, the half pool of spirit water was divided between the two.
At the same time, a loud muffled roar came from deep underground, an overwhelming aura surged, shaking the earth and mountains, causing the entire Xu Yang Immortal Palace to tremble.
Yue Que ventured deeper; below, there was an intense pulling force tugging at Yue Que. Li Hong's heart tightened.
Although Yue Que was no longer the strongest among Li Hong's treasures, it was the one he cared about the most. Its significance had surpassed that of a mere artifact; for Li Hong, it was a companion, a comrade, a brother who had been by his side since childhood. He absolutely did not want to lose it. Li Hong immediately ordered Yue Que to retreat.
Yue Que conveyed warmth and comfort, but soon after, it resolutely continued to delve deeper, and moments later, communication with Li Hong was lost.
Li Hong panicked; one of his avatars flew down, ready to jump into the dark hole.
Suddenly, a muffled sound echoed from underground, followed by another deep roar that seemed to come from hell. The entire Xu Yang Immortal Palace shook again; Celestial Palace Mountain swayed left and right, and various celestial buildings on top were shattered into pieces, collapsing chaotically down the mountainside. Even the towering Lingxiao Treasure Hall was no exception; Restrictions and Azure Light flickered but could only hold for a brief moment before a wave of intense crashing sounds erupted. The entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall tilted violently as tiles and bricks fell like rain. Then came a thunderous crash as the Lingxiao Treasure Hall completely collapsed.
Just as Li Hong's avatar was about to jump into the hole, he felt a surge of malevolent energy rushing out from below and had to dodge quickly.
With a loud rumble, the dark hole caved in, and that malevolent aura vanished.
Watching the dust rise like a Demon Dragon, Li Hong felt sorrowful; Yue Que had not yet emerged. But at that moment, he suddenly sensed a trace of warmth from Yue Que and then felt it rising rapidly towards him. Li Hong couldn't help but smile.
From the rubble emerged an object that rose higher and higher. In an instant, a golden light shot out swiftly and flew directly in front of Li Hong.
Li Hong reached out his hand, and Yue Que gently landed in his palm, still stained with traces of dark blood that carried that familiar malevolent aura.
Yue Que had already severely injured the Demon Dragon below!
Li Hong laughed heartily: "Well done!"
Turning to look at the local immortals who were pale and on the verge of collapse, Li Hong's expression quickly darkened as he coldly shouted: "Kill them all! Leave not one alive!"
Awareness surged in, and Yue Que shone brightly once again. A crescent moon, about ten feet long, appeared swiftly, shooting towards the group of immortals.
For some reason, after the Demon Dragon was severely injured by Yue Que, the local immortals below showed no fighting spirit. Each one stood frozen, as if their thoughts had paused, staring blankly like puppets, allowing themselves to be slaughtered. The crowd was invigorated and charged into the group of immortals, cutting them down effortlessly. In just a short moment, the remaining tens of thousands of immortals were all accounted for.
The Xu Yang Immortal Palace no longer existed. The sprawling mountains had turned into a crooked, barren ridge, with all the flowers, trees, and immortal palaces reduced to rubble, scattered with the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of local immortals, a stench filling the air like a hellish battlefield.
Fortunately, since Yue Que had only used her own power, although she had severely injured the Demon Dragon beneath the Underground, she did not destroy the Restrictions that enveloped the entire immortal palace. Those Restrictions continued to function. Through the transparent Restrictions, one could see the vast fields outside in Sunrise City. Everything seemed normal; the great river that connected to mortal lives continued to flow.
However, Li Hong felt a heaviness in his heart; the scene before him evoked an unsettling sense of déjà vu.
At that moment, Xuanyuan Fuxi and others who were flying over suddenly froze in place, their eyes wide with shock. Among the crowd, a clear female voice rang out sharply.
Xi He shouted, "Impossible! How could this happen!"
