NOVPUBWith a loud shout, a man dressed as a scholar slowly walked from the distant horizon.
The scholar seemed to transverse a heaven and earth with each step; before he opened his eyes, he was clearly far away.
But in the blink of an eye, the scholar had crossed through layers of the void and appeared before everyone.
"Is this," someone looked at the scholar as if he hadn’t appeared in many years, his name forgotten by many.
"Doomsday Scholar," Nine Pills Elder chuckled softly, shouting aloud.
Hearing this title, many recollected memories that had been sealed away.
As a Sect with two Emperors, Taiyuan Heavenly Sect had not only the Ancestor Emperor Taiyuan,
but also a second Emperor, Emperor Hengyu.
And the Doomsday Scholar before them, was none other than Emperor Hengyu’s leading War General.
With a Doomsday Pen in hand, he brought desolation wherever he traveled.
As the Doomsday Scholar approached, the infinite Great Dao beneath his feet opened up; he held a brush in his hand, his blue robe rustling fiercely in the mad wind.
The faces of those from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace grew increasingly terrible.
The plan had clearly failed; as more and more forces from the Eastern Continent received the news, they would definitely not be able to confront the entire continent.
"Who dares to offend our Eastern Continent?" came another light shout.
Before the figure was seen, the voice had arrived, and a Formation enveloped the entire void.
This Formation seemed to contain everything in heaven and earth.
All things revived, lotus flowers blossomed, birds vanished into the mountains, and human tracks disappeared.
An old man emerged from inside a lotus flower.
The old man sat cross-legged in the lotus, unlike the surrounding white lotuses, he was situated atop a blood lotus.
With the flower opening in five petals, the old man had long hair which cascaded down his back.
His hair was the color of blood, his skin was bronze, and the moment he opened his eyes, Wan Zhen rang in unison, and the Principle of the Great Dao echoed around him.
The moment he stood up, the Formation beneath him started spinning rapidly, slowly disappearing into the void, and began to expand.
"It’s Array Demon," someone shouted.
As the lead War General of the Taoist Array Great Emperor, he once lost himself in the study of Formations, obsessively researching day and night, forgoing sleep and food.
Perhaps it was his terrifying appearance that made him so memorable to others.
...
The Baili Family was located in the heart of the Eastern Continent, so those who could arrive here first were definitely from the core areas of the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect.
Forces like True Martial Holy Sect or Divine Sun Holy Sect, located in the Extreme West Region, could not arrive in a short time.
Watching more and more powerhouses descend, someone from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace said with an awkward expression, "Let’s go."
"I’m not willing to," another elder replied.
"If we don’t leave now, no one will be able to," the elders of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace began to discuss amongst themselves.
"This Formation is sealing off the world we’re in; once he completes the seal, none of us will be able to escape.
By the time all the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect arrive, we’ll be trapped in a net."
"Go, go!" anger began to rise in some voices.
A thunderous boom resonated through the void, the Array Demon stood in the void, the Formation already spreading.
The other elders of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace didn’t bother with more, tearing through the void to escape.
Previously mentioned elder from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace glanced at Gong Yuner’s direction.
It was now too late to save her.
"The Sect has been good to you, look after yourself."
After saying that, the elder also tore through the void to escape.
"Do you think Hundreds Miles City is a place where you can come and go as you please?" Baili Qingfeng snorted coldly.
Behind him surged True Fate, which turned out to be the phantom images of the World-Ending Bow and the Thousand Calamities Arrows.
True Fate merged with the bow and arrows in his hand, tearing through the Endless Void, causing the entire firmament to collapse.
He tracked down those few ancestors and burst forth.
"You go, I’ll hold them off," shouted the last ancestor from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace.
Behind him surged a True Fate as well, that of a blood-colored Immortal Blade.
The fusion of blood and immortal was ethereal yet sinfully powerful.
The blood-colored Immortal Blade unleashed a Heaven Shaking might, directly confronting the incoming Thousand Calamities Arrows.
With a "boom," the Thousand Calamities Arrows were sent flying.
The aura around the ancestor from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace surged like a long river spanning the sun, ceaselessly flowing.
"Stay put," the Doomsday Scholar by the side slightly frowned.
A writing brush in his hand instantly enlarged dozens of times, and as its tip traced across the void, a "forbidden" character slowly emerged.
This "forbidden" character rushed towards the group of ancestors from the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace, not to slay them but simply to delay them.
"You all hurry back, report everything to the Palace Master," roared the ancestor with the blood-colored Immortal Blade.
He single-handedly blocked the incoming "forbidden" character.
When the "forbidden" character entered his body, the sound of iron chains moving resounded within.
The "forbidden" character transformed into countless golden chains, binding the ancestor in place.
He alone, in the end, couldn’t hold back these ancestors from the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect.
Watching the people of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace about to be surrounded and trapped, the ancestor grew fierce.
Streams of blood essence burst forth from inside him, the blood-colored energy rushed to the skies, breaking free from the chains’ binding.
The blood-colored Immortal Blade at his back trembled slightly.
"Look out, he’s going to detonate his True Fate," shouted Baili Qingfeng.
An Immortal Extreme expert detonating their own power, including True Fate, would unleash an innumerable force, capable of destroying everything like withering and pulling rot.
Everyone else, not caring to chase after the fleeing members of Heaven Beyond Heavens Palace, hastily took cover to the side.
The Array Demon nearby slightly furrowed his brow.
With a wave of his right hand, a lotus formation appeared, enveloping the True Fate about to explode, trying to contain it.
The next instant, there was a "boom" that seemed to shake the sky, threatening to punch a hole through the firmament, an explosion that could bury heaven and earth resonated.
A giant mushroom cloud appeared in the sky.
The mushroom cloud grew larger, blooming across the firmament.
The mere shockwaves already devoured the surrounding void, not to mention the force at the epicenter.
The lotus formation was annihilated in an instant, failing to hold even for a second.
"They got away," Ancestor Yuelong spoke unwillingly.
"The most important thing is that we’re all right," said Nine Pills Elder.
"After this, we need to thoroughly investigate who exactly established Extraterritorial Extreme Palace and what their situation is."
...
The mushroom cloud in the sky persisted for about ten minutes before slowly dissipating.
The current state of the small Heavenly Primordial world could only be described as a scene of devastation, dreadful to say that it could no longer be used.
Pits and troughs pockmarked the landscape, with kilometer-long fissures crisscrossing.
Everyone’s expression was rather grim.
So many people had arrived, yet they had only managed to kill an individual who had Stepped into Immortality.
Moreover, they knew nothing about the force that was the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace.
Why they came to disrupt the True Martial Grand Meeting, what their purpose was—it was all unclear.
"It’s not like we came away with nothing," Baili Chengfeng said with a smile from the side.
"At least the Young Palace Master of their Extraterritorial Extreme Palace has remained here."
