Chapter 712: Chapter 711: We’re all fighting, who cares about the chivalry of the jianghu, let’s take it on together.
The immortals journeyed steadfastly and confidently along the Time River.
Any single one of them, plucked at random, was an illustrious immortal, capable of laying out a golden opportunity that could turn ordinary beings of the Immortal Realm into immortals.
Not all immortals were created equal; and among them, they belonged to the upper echelons, at the Golden Immortal tier.
However, they were not masters of the path of time. Their ability to traverse the Time River was entirely reliant on the path opened up by the Ancestor in front of them.
Unlike Jiang Li’s wanton show of brute force, the Ancestor employed genuine comprehension, which did no harm to the Time River.
“Ancestor, are we really safe? I just can’t shake this feeling of unease.” The War Immortal kept close behind the Ancestor, indicating his high status.
Had any other immortal spoken in this manner, the Ancestor would certainly have disciplined them. But the War Immortal was different—he was the Ancestor’s trusted lieutenant.
The Ancestor guffawed, pointing at the Time River as he said: “Look at this year we’ve traversed, the Immortal Realm ravaging world after world, everything is proceeding according to plan. How could there be any unexpected turns?”
The War Immortal frowned: “Is it possible that what we have seen is an illusion?”
“You’re overthinking it. Apart from Emperor Shun, who else could create a false Time River? If it was Emperor Shun, then what would his motive be?”
At the mention of Emperor Shun, the Ancestor’s teeth clenched with resentment: Emperor Shun, keep prancing around while you can, wait till the Time River is engulfed by the rule of destruction, let’s see where you can then flee!
“The time and place are correct, prepare to break away from the Time River!”
The Ancestor tore through the Time River, appearing above the Underworld.
“Among the Underworld, only the Ten Halls of Yama are Golden Immortals. You eighteen, led by the War Immortal, begin by suppressing the Ten Halls of Yama. As soon as you have succeeded, come help me defeat the Emperor Empress Hou Tu, he he he…”
The moment the Ancestor chortled a few times, Emperor Empress Hou Tu and the Buddha leisurely flew up to the Ancestor. Even the usually reticent Buddha couldn’t help but crack a smile at the sight of the Ancestor.
The Ancestor’s laughter came to an abrupt halt.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was his eyes playing tricks on him.
It was normal for Emperor Empress Hou Tu to be in the Underworld, but where did the Buddha come from?
What happened during this past year? Did the Respected God-hidden grow tired of the Buddha battling the Sage every day and decided to take him out?
Even with the Ancestor’s quick wit, he couldn’t grasp what had happened.
The aura unintentionally emitted by the three Supreme Immortals instantly tightened the atmosphere above the Underworld.
Upon seeing this, the group of immortals hurriedly launched their assault on the Ten Halls of Yama, not aiming to get involved in the battle between the Supreme Immortals.
The moment the Ten Halls of Yama learned that the Immortal Realm was launching an attack on the Underworld and was now at their doorstep, they immediately set aside their tasks, stretching their limbs in preparation.
Combat was far better than drudgery.
The War Immortal held his bow and arrow, stating coldly: “Surrender now, out of respect for you being our seniors in the Immortal Realm, we won’t scatter your souls.”
The Ten Halls of Yama were rattled by the War Immortal’s might. In their past lives, they had all been prominent figures in the Immortal Realm and recognized their adversaries, but the only one they were unfamiliar with was the War Immortal, a battle prodigy who emerged in the recent hundred thousand years.
Now they saw that the War Immortal lived up to his name; in the absence of the Ancestor, the immortals took orders from the War Immortal, whose aura markedly outstripped the average Golden Immortal.
King Chujiang, revealing his true Kylin form, showed a gap where half his teeth were missing, laughing in a most unruly manner: “We’ve fought Dao Ancestors, faced Human Emperor Jiang, why would we fear mere Golden Immortals?” @@novelbin@@
King Chujiang then pointed at King Qinguang: “Do you see him? He oversees humanity, and every Human Emperor is subordinate to him; each Human Emperor has been a predecessor of Human Emperor Jiang.”
The War Immortal frowned, unsure of who this Human Emperor Jiang, that King Chujiang kept mentioning, was.
This was not important; combat came first.
Being reserved by nature, the War Immortal’s mind focused only on battle; unlike other Golden Immortals who were suffixed by “Immortal Monarch”, the War Immortal was the only one who, concise and clear in his name, did not contain the word “Immortal Monarch” as a cultivator.
The Battle Immortal drew his bow, releasing a shocking swan arrow. The arrow’s power was immense, forcing the Ten Halls of Yama to dodge, dare not meet it head-on.
“He’s using a bow, which means he’s not good at close combat. Attack!” roared King Chu Jiang as he and King Qinguang came together to attack the Battle Immortal.
Unexpectedly, the hand that the Battle Immortal held the bow with shook and the bowstring disappeared. The curved bow straightened, becoming an Immortal Gold Stick.
Hum――
The Immortal Gold Stick was soundly smashed on King Chu Jiang’s face. King Chu Jiang, with only half of his teeth left, amazingly managed to bite the Immortal Gold Stick!
King Chu Jiang was known for being the toughest amongst the Ten Halls of Yama.
King Qinguang brought out the Book of Life and Death, using it on the group of immortals and reducing their lifespan with the Judge’s Pen.
“Track their past lives!” ordered the King of Reincarnation, using his ultimate divine power which could temporarily sync the opponents’ current and previous states of cultivation.
The previous life of a Golden Immortal could never have been a Golden Immortal!
King Wu Guan made his move, robbing the opponent of their five senses.
The Ten Halls of Yama each showcased their divine skills. However, their opponents were not to be underestimated. After all, every Golden Immortal had a few tricks up their sleeve.
“Overturning the Heaven and the Earth!” A Golden Immortal with blue skin made his move. His muscles bulged, signifying pure body cultivation in the pursuit of strength.
“It’s the Giant Spirit Immortal Monarch who wrote the ‘Dragon Tiger Arhat Power’. Having succeeded in his practice, he can grapple with real dragons when extremely furious. He also authored the ‘Heaven Burning Sea Boiling Skill’, a cultivation technique that trains the vitality and blood. If he can integrate these two techniques, he should be able to learn the advanced version of ‘Overturning the Heaven and the Earth’!” Someone among the Ten Halls of Yama recognized his identity.
Overturning heaven and earth――what a grand aspiration. These body cultivators are wild and hard to deal with.
“Great Strength Monument-Breaking Hand!” roared the Giant Spirit Immortal Monarch. His palm was as hard as a rock, as if it could split the world into two!
“One Sword Opens the Sky.”
A wave of Sword Qi swept over them. King Bian Cheng clapped his hands together, trapping the Sword Qi, which caused his palms to burn and swell.
“Bamboo Sword Immortal Monarch.” King Bian Cheng named his opponent. The Bamboo Sword Immortal Monarch, a master of the Sword Dao, believed that anything could be a sword as long as a sword was in the heart. Wielding a piece of green bamboo as his sword, he made a great name for himself in the Immortal Realm as a loner.
“Hundred Poisons Sutra――Poison All Living Beings!” The Serpent Scorpion Immortal Monarch unleashed his poisonous skill, emitting a chilling poisonous gas specifically targeting the souls. Once touched, the poison would become a recalcitrant disease attached to the bone, forcing the Halls of Yama to expend their mental and physical strength to resist the poison.
“Creation of All Things!”
An Immortal Monarch produced lifelike living beings using his cultivation technique. Despite these creations being only at the Heavenly Immortal level, their sheer quantity posed a significant nuisance to the Halls of Yama.
“It’s the Creation Immortal Monarch who practices the ‘Primordial Creation Sutra’, he has the deepest understanding of the Doctrine of Creation!”
Below, the battle between the Ten Halls of Yama and the Golden Immortals ended in a deadlock. Above, the Ancestor forced out a smile, speaking in a negotiating tone.
“Two against one is not a heroic deed. Both of you and I are Three Pure Ones, the kings among immortals. Not to mention, you two are my seniors. It’s only fair to fight one-on-one.”
Queen Mother of the West disregarded the battle of the Yamas below. She knew such level of fighting wouldn’t defeat them and took this opportunity to let them have some exercise.
Queen Mother of the West gently smiled at the Ancestor: “We are in the middle of a fight, who cares for chivalry now? Buddha, let’s fight together!”
Queen Mother of the West fiercely made her move, with Buddha silently following behind her.
The Ancestor’s face significantly changed.
These two people have neither the temperament of seniors nor the demeanor of the Three Pure Ones.
The Ancestor attempted to escape through the River of Time. Just as he opened a gap, Emperor Shun kicked him out.
“See you around.”
What do you think?
