"Heaven's Wrath Realm!" Pudu Shanni shouted, pressing her palms against the glowing sphere before her.
The reflections of the Five Immortals within the sphere cracked, as if glass were being crushed, and in reality, their bodies began to fracture as well, on the verge of being torn apart. Fear flashed in the eyes of the Five Immortals as they exchanged glances; in the next moment, they vanished into thin air. When they reappeared, five beams of celestial light pierced through Pudu Shanni's body, positioning themselves in five directions, their backs turned to her.
"Is it really the Compassionate Voyage Sect's celestial technique, Heavenly Wrath Realm? If we were at the same level, we would truly be left with nothing but our corpses," one of the immortals remarked.
"I never expected that the renowned Cihang Fairy from the heavenly realm originated from the cultivation world. Even before reaching the Ascension Stage, she already possesses some celestial aura. This technique is indeed terrifying!" another immortal added.
Suddenly—
A sound of shattering echoed, followed by an overwhelming surge of True Qi that spread in all directions.
"Master!" Zhao Yu cried out hoarsely.
Among the Five Immortals, Pudu Shanni stood motionless, staring blankly ahead. Cracks marred her cheeks and arms, resembling shattered ceramic figurines. A gentle breeze passed by, causing a piece of flesh to fall from her cheek, and then she disintegrated into fragments, scattering into fine dust.
"Disciple, I entrust you with the Water Moon Mirror. If you can escape, with the Water Moon Mirror in your possession, you will be safe during your Transcend Tribulation. It must not be discovered by any immortal unless you are certain of your demise. It can reflect all magical attacks, including heavenly tribulations. The secret behind every disciple of Compassionate Voyage Sect ascending to immortality lies in the existence of the Water Moon Mirror. After my death, you will become the one hundred and eighth master of Compassionate Voyage Sect. The supreme Celestial Artifact, Water Moon Mirror, need not remain in the cultivation world any longer. In the future, seek revenge for me and eradicate every immortal involved in this matter without exception. Under your leadership, Compassionate Voyage Sect will become a revered sect that all fear," Pudu Shanni transmitted.
"Master!" Zhao Yu called out inwardly, filled with regret.
"Whether it be Rebel Son or Compassionate Voyage Sect, before a True Immortal, you are all but ants," the Blue-Eyed Immortal spoke slowly.
"Just a bunch of useless Pseudo Immortals! What right do you have to look down on others?" Zhao Yang roared from within the Seal of the Immortal Chain.
"Hmph! The Seal of the Immortal Chain is specifically designed to capture immortals. Let's see how you manage to escape!" the Silver Robed Immortal said smugly. A gust of wind swept behind him as he flicked his fingers lightly; five beams of celestial energy shot out and pierced through Ji Wudao and Zhao Tianlang who were charging forward, causing them to collapse to the ground in a cloud of dust.
Xiao Wu... The Dragon Queen's lips bled as she glanced at her beloved son Long Xiao Wu before fainting away, uncertain of her fate.
Long Xiao Wu gritted his teeth fiercely and slammed his palm against the spear lodged in his chest. The spear flew back and embedded itself into a distant mountainside, causing a landslide as beasts howled in distress.
"Sister Yu, I might be dying," Long Xiao Wu said, his face pale as he looked at Zhao Yu before him.
Zhao Yu was already in tears, shaking her head. "No, Fatty, you're a dragon, how could you die so easily?"
"Let me answer that for you," Golden Giant Shadow interjected. "The celestial energy of an immortal can greatly destroy the flesh and Divine Soul of lower beings. Besides, you are merely ants; it's already impressive that you've lasted this long."
Long Xiao Wu's hands were covered in blood, but his gaze was solely on Zhao Yu. He stared intently at her and asked, "Sister Yu, how old are you this year?"
Zhao Yu replied through her tears, "Sixteen."
Long Xiao Wu nodded and said, "It seems the most talented one is Sister Yu. At just sixteen, you're already a master in the Tribulation Period; truly unprecedented." His voice gradually grew softer. "Sister Yu, you're really beautiful. I've never liked anyone this much before. Honestly, aside from being a bit overweight, I'm quite excellent in other aspects. I know this sounds abrupt, but I really like you. If there's a next life, I would still like you."
Zhao Yu pouted, her tears flowing freely. "I don't want a next life. I don't like younger boys, so you need to stay alive to have a chance to pursue me. Boohoo."
Long Xiao Wu's lips turned white as he forced a smile through his pale complexion. He struggled to keep his eyes open but eventually succumbed to sleep again, murmuring, "I'm so cold."
Zhao Yu had never hugged a man before, especially one as heavy as him. But this time, she felt something stir within her. She realized that it only took a second to fall for someone she had disliked for so long.
Long Xiao Wu slightly parted his lips as if wanting to say something more. He remembered what Zhao Yang had once told him: if one day he were to die for the person he loved, he must say something deeply moving to make them completely fall for him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yang never got that chance; he did.
He whispered into Zhao Yu's ear.
"I would stand against the lonely knife that flies your way."
Zhao Yu cried out loudly, sobbing like a child and feeling utterly helpless.
The Blue-Eyed Immortal said, "What a deeply moving scene this is, but unfortunately, you all must die today. However, rest assured, before I kill you, I will let you see how weak and fragile your so-called Young Demon Emperor truly is! I will use the Locking Immortal Chain to beat him to death right before your eyes!"
The Blue-Eyed Immortal laughed heartily, filled with delight. For the first time, he felt that slaughtering someone hailed as a peerless genius was such a pleasurable and exhilarating experience.
"Die!" The Silver Robed Immortal suddenly struck, controlling one end of the Seal of the Immortal Chain to strike Zhao Yang in the formation.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed as Zhao Yang's back was battered by the Seal of the Immortal Chain, leaving him bloodied and mangled. With just one blow, Zhao Yang, who had achieved Body Refinement at Great Achievement level, was injured!
Zhao Yang spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered several steps. Before he could regain his balance, he heard a faint sound by his ear. He threw a punch but was sent flying by the Seal of the Immortal Chain, crashing against the formation. His right hand trembled uncontrollably, golden-red blood flowed down, and his bones were exposed!
Silently, another muffled sound came as Zhao Yang's ribcage collapsed under the impact, sending him flying several yards away!
"Zhao Yang!" He Qing shouted in alarm and rushed forward. A group of people were on the verge of tears, but in front of the immortal, they were utterly powerless. Even Zhao Yu included; the Silver Robed Immortal merely waved his sleeve and sent everyone crashing to the ground.
"You should watch quietly from here; it would be a shame to miss such a good show of a caged beast struggling for survival!" the Silver Robed Immortal said viciously, though he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Is that all you immortals are capable of? I’m tough as leather; you probably couldn't kill me even if you tried for three days! Don’t others need to eat and sleep?" Zhao Yang spat blood again. His ribcage felt as if it were being burned by flames; pain made his veins bulge on his forehead. If it weren't for his immense endurance, he might have already fainted. "If you really are an immortal, come in and fight me without suppressing any of your powers!"
"Haha, how arrogant! I'll see what makes this Rebel Son so special that he can contend with an immortal!" Jin Guang laughed heartily and prepared to step into the Seal of the Immortal Chain.
"Wait! Be careful; this kid might be up to something. According to our readings from these ants' Divine Sense, this person named Zhao Yang possesses a divine technique that can turn anyone into a sheep, ignoring any level!" the Blue-Eyed Immortal warned. He had read many people's Divine Sense and knew that many events in this cultivation world revolved around this young man before him.
"Could there really be such a divine technique?" Jin Guang exclaimed in shock; he had only heard rumors but never seen it himself. "We are immortals!"
"This world always has its strange tricks. Have you forgotten that there was once an ordinary person with no cultivation who killed countless heavenly experts using just a Yin-Yang Judge's brush?" the Blue-Eyed Immortal replied.
The Silver Robed Immortal said, "The Transform into Sheep Technique can be broken, although I have never heard of a specific method to do so. However, I estimate that it could be undone with extreme speed. Besides, if you don't give him the chance to transform into a sheep, isn't that the solution?"
Jin Guang nodded and asked, "Then why don't you go in?"
"Hmph!" The Silver Robed Immortal scoffed. "Since you all are too afraid, I shall go in myself. It's truly laughable to be frightened by a mere human!"
With that, the Silver Robed Immortal dashed into the Seal of the Immortal Chain at an incredible speed, transforming into a streak of silver light aimed directly at Zhao Yang, intending to pierce through him entirely. If this strike hit a mortal, it would not only extinguish their life force but also penetrate their Divine Soul!
However, something strange happened. The Silver Robed Immortal suddenly began to bleed from his mouth and nose, staggering backward and crashing against the wall of the Seal of the Immortal Chain!
"What is that thing in your arms?" The Silver Robed Immortal exclaimed in shock. "Could it be the Spirit Pearl?!"
Zhao Yang felt a sharp pain in his chest and pulled out the object—it was the Stone Hammer he hadn't used in a long time!
The surface of the Stone Hammer was now cracked, revealing a glimmering stone skin within!
Initially, Sun Wukong had told Zhao Yang that there was something hidden inside the Stone Hammer, something that could only be used upon reaching a certain level of cultivation. Due to the passage of time, Zhao Yang had completely forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, it had been revealed when the Silver Robed Immortal collided with it!
Boom!
The Seal of the Immortal Chain struck again. Zhao Yang braced himself with the Stone Hammer. The surface of the Stone Hammer shattered instantly, revealing an object inside that was half its original size—jet black and radiating a rainbow of colors!
