That night, Zhao Yang tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He was consumed with thoughts about how to deal with the Slayer of Immortals. It felt like an ant trying to figure out how to kill an elephant; the opponent's strength was overwhelming. Even with the Transform into Sheep Technique, he doubted he could take down a solitary immortal by himself. The last two encounters had been perilous, where he barely escaped with his life after eliminating those two immortals.
Should he just ignore the people in the Cultivation world and wait until he ascended to the Immortal Realm to seek revenge for them?
Zhao Yang had no confidence at all in this battle.
In another room, Long Xiao Wu spoke to the Dragon Queen, "Mother, I share a brotherly bond with Zhao Yang. If he goes, I must go too."
"You are facing lofty immortals; going there would only mean death. The dragon clan would be left with you alone!" The Dragon Queen cried, not wanting her son to die in vain.
"Those are merely Pseudo Immortals, not True Immortals. Besides, how could my dragon clan be filled with cowards? They have already discovered that my dragon bones are inscribed with the scriptures of Six Paths Reincarnation; they won't let it go easily. If I don't go, I'll die sooner or later anyway. Mother, I am an Ancestral Dragon; how could I possibly die so easily?"
Suddenly, a thunderous sound erupted, jolting Zhao Yang awake. He recognized that aura all too well—it was the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token!
"Ah, that reckless girl is causing trouble at a time like this!" Zhao Yang burst through the window and found Long Xiao Wu and others already in the courtyard, including his parents and the Dragon Queen.
"It's the aura of the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token! Zhao Yang, your sister must be relying on that divine weapon to challenge the Five Immortals!" He Qing expressed his concern.
Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Wait here for me; I will go save my sister."
"Hold on." Ji Wudao stopped Zhao Yang. "Brother Zhao Yang, do you look down on us? My cultivation has stabilized in the Tribulation Period; I should contribute as well. Why are you rushing off without considering us as companions?"
"Brother Ji..." Zhao Yang hesitated. Although he might have a chance of survival due to his Time Walk ability to traverse through space, what about his friends and family? If they went along, their chances of survival would be slim.
"Zhao Yang, let us go. We've hidden for long enough; it's time to take action," Zhao Tianlang chimed in at that moment.
Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded. Perhaps it was indeed time for the great showdown, even though he wasn't fully prepared.
His sister was challenging the Five Immortals, and if he delayed, he would regret it. The Yin Yang Holy Fire Token, a treasure left by his master, should be sufficient to deal with the Five Immortals at the same level. However, immortals were still immortals, and the Five Immortals were particularly formidable. Zhao Yu's actions were akin to a baby holding a gun facing several grown men; although there was a significant threat, if even one of them got close, she would undoubtedly perish.
Above the Central Sovereign Palace, Zhao Yu held the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token and faced the Five Immortals. "A bunch of ungrateful old fools! Others may fear you, but do you think this Empress will?"
Among the Five Immortals, the Golden Giant laughed heartily. "A little girl from the human race who hasn't even matured yet dares to call herself an empress? I want to see just how capable you are!"
As he spoke, the Golden Giant reached out with a massive hand toward Zhao Yu. She swiftly dodged and recited a mental incantation, forming a strange array with her hands. She pointed at the Golden Giant, who sneered and extended a finger to jab back at her.
In a vast sea of flowers, the Golden Giant's finger shattered into brilliant blossoms, while Zhao Yu was sent flying by the overwhelming celestial energy.
"This girl is impressive; she actually managed to injure Golden Light," remarked a lazy immortal behind the Silver-Robed Man.
"I didn't get hurt! How could I be injured?" Golden Light fumed as his pulverized finger quickly regenerated.
"I will kill you! You lowly human!" roared the Golden Giant as he charged at Zhao Yu, sealing off the void to prevent her escape.
Zhao Yu had no intention of fleeing. She suddenly summoned the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token and hurled it at the Golden Giant. He felt as if an enormous mountain weighing millions of pounds had crashed down on him and was instantly crushed into pulp amid a thunderous explosion.
The remaining Four Immortals were furious. As they dodged the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token, surprise flickered in their eyes. The Silver-Robed Immortal said, "This is a divine weapon! It must have surpassed the level of Supreme Dao Artifacts by far and reached that of Celestial Artifacts! Moreover, it's among the finest of Celestial Artifacts."
The Silver-Robed Immortal spread his fingers wide, unleashing several invisible beams of light. Zhao Yu's expression changed drastically as she retreated sharply. She saw that where she had just stood, a Phantom and fissures appeared in the void before quickly closing again.
Zhao Yu raised her hand, and countless Giant Demon Flowers sprang up from the ground, while numerous vines suddenly emerged from the void, entwining towards the other Four Immortals.
"No wonder she's so arrogant; a mere girl from the Cultivation world actually possesses celestial techniques!" exclaimed an immortal with eyes that emitted blue flames.
In his gaze, Zhao Yu's figure was reflected. Suddenly, flames ignited on her body, and in a panic, she was about to take action when she sensed movement behind her. The Silver Robed Immortal thrust his palm forward with immense force, as if the heavens were collapsing!
Zhao Yu felt her own power was insignificant, far too weak to confront an immortal head-on. The void had already been sealed, and the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token was beyond her control, unable to be harnessed again. Just as she was in a dire situation, a figure broke through the void ahead and clashed with the Silver Robed Immortal's palm!
Zhao Yang's arm went numb; his middle finger trembled uncontrollably, blood seeping out. The Silver Robed Immortal's power surpassed his by more than a hundredfold. If it weren't for his formidable physical body and mastery of various techniques, he would have been gravely injured by that blow!
"So it turns out to be a pair of siblings. For them to emerge from the Cultivation world is indeed remarkable. However, in my heavenly realm, they can only be considered of lowly talent—barely qualified to enter any celestial sect. They are only fit to claim titles of emperor or king within the Cultivation world," said the Silver Robed Immortal.
Zhao Yang retorted, "Even if our talents are lowly, isn't it true that you disregarded heavenly rules and recklessly slaughtered innocents just to force me out? If you have the ability, why don't you five suppress your cultivation to the Tribulation Period and fight me? I could kill you like dogs with just one hand!"
"You!" The Silver Robed Immortal's expression darkened with anger.
"Haha! Those who can be called Rebel Sons surely do not rely solely on talent. The rumored Sky-Rending Empress was an ordinary person without a Spiritual Root, yet she defied the heavens step by step until she became an emperor," said the immortal with blue flames in his eyes. "So whether your talent is astonishing or mediocre, I have never underestimated anyone called a genius—especially those referred to as sons of heaven or Rebel Sons. But in the end, you will die. Tell me, how can a mortal contend with an immortal from the Nine Heavens? That is your fate. In the face of absolute power, your death has become inevitable!"
"A fine inevitability! You’ve chased me for a year but still haven’t caught me; I want to see how you plan to capture me!" Zhao Yang declared before vanishing before their eyes.
The four remained unfazed, exchanging glances. Several streaks of light shot out from the void as Zhao Yang flew out sideways. The Silver Robed Immortal laughed heartily and said, "I have long set up Heavenly Restraint Chains waiting for you; even we cannot break them, let alone you!"
As he spoke, the Silver Robed Immortal struck at Zhao Yang with a punch infused with primordial celestial power capable of destroying stars.
The Enlightenment Realm opened, and in less than a second, Zhao Yang understood the method to wield the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token that was suppressing the Golden Giant Shadow. He summoned the Holy Fire Token before him to block an attack from the Silver Robed Immortal. The Silver Robed Immortal spat blood, his face pale; it was evident that the power of the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token in Zhao Yang's hands was far greater!
However, Zhao Yang's injuries caused his skin to crack, clearly indicating that he had been shaken by the celestial power of the Silver Robed Immortal.
A roar echoed from the ground; the Golden Giant Shadow had not perished!
"Golden Light, you fell for it so easily," the Silver Robed Immortal laughed.
The Golden Light coalesced, its body reshaping in an instant, vitality returning. It roared in fury, "You two ants will die!"
As it spoke, its arms spread wide, a tremendous force of suction swept through, dragging Zhao Yang and Zhao Yu closer. Zhao Yang also let out a roar, channeling all his strength to break a small gap in the Heavenly Restraint Chains and then pushed his sister Zhao Yu out.
"Brother!" Zhao Yu shouted loudly, but as the Heavenly Restraint Chains closed, she could no longer see Zhao Yang.
"Want to escape? No one can get away!" The immortal with blue flames in his eyes was wrapped in a long robe like a dark celestial being from the abyss. Blue, strange runes radiated from his eyes, rendering Zhao Yu immobile.
"You useless little girl, just kill her," the Blue-Eyed Immortal said calmly as a spear emanating blue flames appeared in his hand and shot toward Zhao Yu without any hesitation!
Zhao Yu realized her insignificance at that moment. Regret washed over her for her recklessness; she had thought that possessing the Yin Yang Holy Fire Token would allow her to do as she pleased, but instead, she had brought about her own demise and endangered her beloved brother.
The Blue-Eyed Immortal's celestial power far surpassed hers.
Thud!
The sound of flesh tearing reached Zhao Yu's ears. She was covered in blood when a somewhat nervous voice spoke up.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yu, I got your clothes dirty."
Zhao Yu opened her eyes and looked at the person she despised, Fatty. His expression was trembling as he gazed at the spear that had pierced Long Xiao Wu's chest, unable to find words. She couldn't understand why someone who was often called Fatty would risk his life to block a deadly spear for him, and now he was worried about dirtying her clothes.
Long Xiao Wu fell to the ground, staring up at the sky.
Zhao Yu flew down, feeling anxious. "Fatty, are you okay? You're not allowed to scare me."
Blood trickled from Long Xiao Wu's mouth as he softly said, "I'm cold."
"Xiao Wu!" In the distance, the Dragon Queen screamed, transforming into a massive red dragon as she lunged at the Blue-Eyed Immortal, who was about to strike again.
With a single swing, the Dragon Queen's body was driven into the mountainside, blood splattering everywhere.
Then the Blue-Eyed Immortal turned his gaze toward Long Xiao Wu and Zhao Yu on the ground. Another strike came down, this one infused with lethal Divine Power that mere mortals could not hope to withstand!
But suddenly, the Blue-Eyed Immortal's assault halted. In the void, an Old Nun stood with her battle robe billowing without wind. Before her, an Orb of Light contained reflections of Five Immortals!
"Heaven's Wrath Realm!"
