NOVPUBWhen these five streams of Immortal Might simultaneously spread far and wide, everyone in the Extinct Heaven Sect raised their heads, their faces filled with shock and horror.
The black fog engulfed the entire firmament, and people outside had no clue what was going on, and could only worry anxiously.
Within the black fog, these five streams of Immortal Might joined forces to suppress the Extinct Heaven Sect.
Five figures at the Immortal Ascension Boundary stepped out from the void, and the mighty Immortal Might around them threatened to overturn the entire firmament.
"Five Immortal Ascension Boundary experts," cried someone from the Extinct Heaven Sect in despair.
What did this mean? Many might never see so many powerful beings in their entire lives.
The shock brought about by the appearance of these five Immortal Ascension Boundary experts was imaginable.
Clad in white robes, with an extraordinary temperament, their vast Immortal Might, like the churning sands in a great wave, stirred up towering air currents.
Among them, two were at the level of Immortal Kings, and two were within the Mysterious Immortal Realm, but the old man standing in the middle had an even more formidable aura.
He was a powerhouse at the level of an Undying Immortal.
"We’ve seen the superior," the five figures greeted, bowing slightly upon Xu Zimei’s arrival.
Xu Zimei nodded with a smile.
These five were from the Divine Gate, the people Xu Zimei had requested from the Divine Emperor after leaving the Old Land.
Though the presence of Bai Meng meant he needn’t fear the Extinct Heaven Sect,
Xu Zimei did not wish for any trouble when eradicating the sect; it was better to resolve the situation with overwhelming power.
He had not let these five appear earlier for fear of startling the enemy and causing them to flee without a fight, which would be boring.
...
At this moment, with the appearance of all five Immortal Ascension Boundary experts, the complexions of both Ancestor Juedao and Ancestor Futian drastically changed.
"Sir," Ancestor Futian, horrified, looked at Xu Zimei and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"I am the eraser of your sect. Why ask so many questions?" Xu Zimei laughed.
He stood in the upper air, ignoring the completely dumbfounded expressions of those around him, notably Styx.
With a wave of his hand, he spoke lightly, "Spare none from the Extinct Heaven Sect today."
Following Xu Zimei’s words, an immense pressure enveloped the five Immortal Ascension Boundary experts.
The endless immortal radiance seemed like a reverse cascading galaxy from the ninth heaven.
With a series of thunderous rumbles, the firmament completely shattered under the assault of this extreme force.
Five streams of Immortal Light fell from the firmament, and with each step, the five Immortal Ascension Boundary experts shattered a portion of space, directly invading the Extinct Heaven Sect.
"Activate the Sect Protection Array," Ancestor Futian roared, taking to the air to meet the five adversaries.
Ancestor Juedao frowned slightly, drawing his three-foot longsword.
A nine-foot Pole Light burst forth from the blade, its radiance falling from the ninth heaven, cleaving the firmament in half.
Ancestor Juedao, sword in hand, furiously charged into battle as well.
The seven clashed mid-air, cracking the sky and darkening the earth, with the wind and clouds above stirring up a sky-full of air currents.
The sounds of explosions resounded across a hundred li.
The uninformed raised their heads to look.
They could see the firmament cracked open, resembling a spider web filled with cracks.
The firmament seemed to collapse, and thunder echoed as if exploding in the ear.
The entire world’s transformation was apparent to all onlookers, letting them imagine the ferocity of the battle.
The only pity was that the center of the battle was obscured by a pure spread of Demonic Qi, hiding what was happening inside.
...
Although there were five Immortal Ascension Boundary experts present from the Old Land, they were having a hard time gaining the upper hand for the moment.
It was mainly because Ancestor Futian, at the height of Immortal Extreme, was fighting against four Immortal Ascension Boundary experts on his own and still had plenty to spare.
Xu Zimei watched the changes in the battlefield with narrowed eyes.
Ancestor Futian’s strength was indeed beyond his expectations.
This only proved the saying, "The Martial Path is hard,
As hard as climbing to the azure sky,"
"Every step ascends to a new heaven."
Even a minor realm in the later stages possessed a vast difference as if between heaven and earth.
Ancestor Futian’s palm strike shattered the space that had just restored itself in an instant.
His figure retreated slightly, his surrounding Immortal Might growing even more majestic.
Looking intently at Xu Zimei, he spoke indifferently, "Sir, it would be best if we could resolve today’s matter amicably.
If you all withdraw now, we are willing to overlook this. How about it?"
"Bring out whatever trump card you have. Since I’ve come here, there’s no reason for me to leave,"
Xu Zimei shook his head and replied.
A flash of brilliance passed in Ancestor Futian’s eyes as he slowly took out a painting from his Storage Ring.
He unfolded the painting with a grave expression.
The painting depicted a man, or more precisely, the back of a man.
He was dressed in a golden robe, with short hair.
He emanated a particularly ethereal and otherworldly aura.
The moment the painting was unveiled, a vast imperial aura surged into the sky. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
At that moment, no matter who it was, their overwhelming Immortal Might was suppressed.
It was as if that imperial aura was the dominator of all,
The firmament above underwent sudden changes as the imperial aura soared.
The entire Shenghua realm felt the oppressive might that belonged to the Great Emperor.
This oppressive force lingered in everyone’s heart, and in their eyes, scenes from the past seemed to replay.
As if the path to Becoming Emperor, where one prospers while a myriad of bones wither, still whispered from the ancient times.
The man in the painting seemed to come to life, slowly turning his head.
At that moment, the skies shattered, and the winds and clouds roared in fury.
Though the face was clearly visible, for some reason, everyone felt as though it was covered by a layer of fog.
It was indistinct and elusive, quite peculiar.
… … …
"This is a portrait of the Extinct Heaven Ancestral Master," the higher-ups of the Extinct Heaven Sect exclaimed excitedly.
They all knelt down, chanting the name of the Extinct Heaven Great Emperor.
"Before the Ancestral Master’s ascension, he personally created a self-portrait as a gift to Ancestor Futian," whispered the high-ranking members with insider knowledge.
"The Ancestral Master is sagacious."
As the man in the painting slowly turned his head, a massive hand emerged from the painting.
Space around the hand fractured layer by layer as it bore down on the five Immortal Ascension powerhouses of the Divine Gate.
In an instant, the heavens and earth transformed as if the hand were traveling through eons, stirring up endless waves of air.
With a "boom,"
Half of the firmament collapsed, and the five Immortal Ascension powerhouses from the Divine Gate were all hurled backward.
With a single palm strike, they were all injured.
Following that attack, a crack appeared on the painting.
The hand emerged again, bearing down on the group.
Another crack formed on the painting.
Xu Zimei narrowed his eyes and said composedly, "It seems the Extinct Heaven Great Emperor really went all out.
He even left a trace of his own Divine Soul within it."
"Before the Divine Soul shatters, it will be enough to suppress you," Ancestor Futian said indifferently.
"If that’s the case, let’s end this," Xu Zimei replied faintly.
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Ancestor Futian was taken aback, looking at Xu Zimei with some inexplicable expression.
