NOVPUBIn this interval, the Longevity Sect here, along with the Jin Immortal Ascension cultivators previously on site, had succeeded in sealing most of the evildoers present into a segment of ancient wood.
"A piece of the Undying Divine Tree, with this item’s suppression, should be able to manage for a while."
Su Dachun spoke swiftly.
Above his head, a slowly forming dark cloud also appeared.
"Kingdom of Immortals…"
Shao Yangzi couldn’t help but recall a figure in his mind and, after some thought, he spoke,
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, but there’s no other choice… Our time is limited, and we can no longer manage the Huangji Continent."
"Go to Yan! Take the Teleportation Array!"
Su Dachun nodded, not bothering with much else, and sealed the piece of ancient wood with drastic measures before burying it right into the ground stratum.
Immediately afterward, he followed Shao Yangzi and stepped into the Teleportation Array.
When they reappeared, they found themselves before a sect struck with devastation and strewn with corpses everywhere.
"Is this… cultivators from the Three Continents?"
Elder Xia flew to a location where a palace had been leveled and found skins of cultivators from the Tupi Continent…
It was indeed just skins, as the flesh and bones inside had completely vanished, leaving behind only intact human skins fluttering and hanging on the broken walls in the sparse wind.
"From the inside out, the entire body’s essence had been devoured entirely…"
Yan Wenzheng approached, his expression extremely grave.
Besides these bizarre skins of cultivators from the Tupi Continent, they also discovered the skins of cultivators from the Primitive Demonic Sect, the Daosheng Continent, and monks from the Xi Tuo Continent, all similarly drained of their flesh and essence.
However, compared to the intact states of Tupi Continent’s cultivators, these cultivators’ deaths were visibly more horrific.
Deeper within the sect, they found the skin of the Primitive Demonic Sect’s former Great Elder, Gong Qianqiu.
This discovery made everyone abruptly shiver!
"When chaos descends from the heavens, evildoers emerge."
Shao Yangzi spoke in a deep voice, "Don’t mind these, since this place has already been compromised, we should immediately head to the north. The foundational depth of the Primitive Demonic Sect is profound; there must still be Immortal Ascensions there. We cannot let them hide in dungeons and leave troubles for the next generation… Senior Brother!"
He couldn’t help but look above Yan Wenzheng’s head.
There, clouds gathered, and ominous thunder flickered within.
Yan Wenzheng’s eyes flashed a hint of regret before he smiled lightly,
"Junior Brother, Senior Brother is taking a step ahead."
"No worries."
He then lightly patted Ren Xiao next to him, sporting a slight smile.
Shortly after, he flew directly towards a larger black hole in the sky.
His body rapidly dissolved, then reformed into fragments trailing ’arrow’ remnants, sealing the black hole completely.
Just then, an anxious voice from Su Dachun suddenly came.
"Old Xia!"
Elder Xia showed a hint of bitterness,
"I was just one year shy of reaching the grand age of five thousand…"
Above his head, thunderclouds quickly gathered.
Elder Xia looked wistfully in the southwest direction.
There, lay the Longevity Sect.
"Senior Brother Yan really left in style…"
He muttered softly, then with a light leap, he flew into the sky.
Another black hole was promptly filled.
"We can’t waste more time!"
Shao Yangzi snapped back to reality, his expression serious:
"We are no longer spared by fate, Brother Su swiftly manage the sect affairs, we must immediately send all four of the Primitive Demonic Sect’s Peak Immortal Ascensions up!"
Su Dachun also composed himself and spoke in a deep voice, "No worries, let’s go!"
The five of them quickly flew northward.
On their way, however, they saw various bizarre beasts rampantly hunting living beings and devouring flesh.
"Totem Beasts from Tupi Continent?"
"No, something seems different!"
Su Dachun’s expression slightly changed.
Shao Yangzi, however, subtly reacted and brought out a Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.
Soon, he frowned and said, "These are indeed Totem Beasts, but it seems those Totem Beasts have used these Tupi Continent cultivators to create clones to enter the realm, leaving no one behind! Let’s keep moving!"
Qin Dengyuan then stayed back.
These Totem Beasts were not very strong; one late-stage Immortal Ascension was already enough.
Finally, the four of them saw the Primitive Demonic Sect’s campground guarding the frontline.
Although all were at Immortal Ascension Perfection, the combined strength of the four was already among the highest in the current era.
Together.
All cultivators of this section of the Primitive Demonic Sect were sent to the Sky Dome.
The black hole was sealed, and the crack was also rapidly healing.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Beings from beyond the realm were still relentlessly striking the realm membrane in the sky.
Under their utmost effort, thunderclouds also rapidly gathered above them.
"We’ve done all we can, from here on, it’s up to them."
Su Dachun sighed with a smile, then flew serenely towards the sky.
Shao Yangzi turned to look southwest.
There, lay the Wanxiang Sect.
"Just missing one Liang Qiuyu…"
He flew into the sky.
But at the last moment, he still took out a Spirit Rhinoceros Stone and gave a serious instruction.
Afterward, his expression became resigned:
"I always feel there’s still so much left undone... Just give me a little more time, and the Wanxiang Sect will be safer..."
But ultimately, he couldn’t achieve it.
His body silently turned into ashes, and all his consciousness was integrated into his Dao Domain, forming a gigantic shard that swiftly filled the black hole and the rifts.
"Sect Master..."
Tianyuan Hall Master, Lv Zhuangmei, held the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone in her hand.
She faintly felt the increasing oppressive force from the heaven and earth.
The sky seemed to be shrinking.
The earth was also contracting.
"Can’t even the middle-stage of Immortal Ascension accommodate me?"
She murmured softly.
Then she raised her head and looked at the confused evil gods in front of her.
A trace of indifference crossed her eyes:
"If it can’t accommodate us, then let’s do something about it!"
Pouncing towards the evil gods, her figure swiftly moved.
Not long after,
Li Wannian of the Longevity Sect, covered by Thunder Tribulation clouds, sheathed his sword energy, sighed, and with no nostalgia, soared towards the black hole in the sky.
Then, Jiao Ying, Fei Hua… Lv Zhuangmei…
The red-haired Hall Master of Diwu Hall, Xi Kui, couldn’t help but mutter:
"Why can’t this mouth be quicker? I knew I shouldn’t have said that to Invincible earlier."
A deep reluctance flashed through his eyes.
Then he looked up at the sky:
"Well, I suppose it doesn’t matter. The Xi Family has many descendants; it’s not a loss!"
With that, like a rising flame, he fiercely charged into the sky!
"I, Xi Kui, will also be a hero who mends the sky today!"
In the sky.
Figures of cultivators in the process of Immortal Ascension from all directions flew toward the black holes and rifts.
From beyond the realm, there were roars and impacts.
Pieces occasionally shattered and fell.
Then with a ’bang!’
A previously sealed rift was finally smashed open by a gigantic figure, creating a huge black hole!
A bull-headed creature struggled to squeeze into the realm, as countless Thunder Tribulations quickly descended!
Watching this scene.
Inside the Wanxiang Sect.
Du Wei’s expression carried a hint of hesitation.
"Sect Master, Senior Brother Yan, Master Xun… Fei Hua, Xi Kui, Zhuangmei… have all gone…"
He too felt the sensation of being incessantly squeezed out of his body.
The black hole in the sky was rapidly expanding.
"It’s my turn to leave too..."
Du Wei mumbled.
He turned his head to look at Wang Ba.
"Hall Master..."
Wang Ba, however, seemed slightly dazed.
Incredulous.
A smile appeared on Du Wei’s face:
"Survive well… Also tell Martial Uncle Qi that in this life, my greatest regret is not taking him as my disciple."
After speaking, he flicked a special Spirit Beast Bag from his sleeve, which landed in Wang Ba’s hands.
Then he looked nostalgically at the Spirit Beast Bag:
"Farewell, old friends."
With that, he soared into the sky, heading straight for the newly opened black hole!
His body rapidly vanished.
Then his Dao Domain turned into a fragment with remnants of a beast’s head, quickly filling most of the breached black hole!
At the same moment.
A dungeon in Shaoyang Mountain suddenly opened.
A figure covered in dirt and dishevelment flew out, joyfully exclaiming:
"Ha ha! Master! I have fully deciphered the Dao Secret contained in the Stone Lizard! Today I can step onto the path of Immortal Ascension..."
His voice abruptly stopped as he stared blankly at the sky.
There, he seemed to sense an extremely familiar aura...
"Master..."
He murmured, feeling as if he had lost something at that moment.
"Dear disciple, I’m sorry."
Yao Wudi stood in front of the Ice Daoist, lifting a palm-leaf fan-sized hand gently onto the Ice Daoist’s shoulder.
Regret flickered in his eyes.
He was considerably taller and more robust than the Ice Daoist, appearing like an adult compared to a child.
The Ice Daoist fell silent for a moment, then looked towards Mulian Xu.
Mulian Xu, as well as over the heads of Yao Wudi, clouds lingered…
"When the sky falls, tall ones must bear the brunt."
