Chapter 499: 299: I’ve Always Enjoyed Killing Human Immortals
As he beheld the Human Immortals before him, all radiating a sinister and rampant aura, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but sigh.
Even if he were to open a portal to the Cave Sky now, they would certainly not follow him in. Their suspicious attitudes would prevent them from naively following him.
In order to eliminate the three Human Immortals from Ghost Soul Sect, he had devoted immense effort and a significant amount of time, spending nearly half a month just setting the scene. Gaining the trust of these ancient beings, who had experienced several centuries of life, had proven even more exhausting.
Only then was he able to trick these Human Immortals into the Cave Sky, where they were as helpless as fish on the chopping board, left for Jiuling to slaughter.
Feng Qing’an was well aware that, if he unexpectedly encountered hostile Human Immortals, his wisest course of action would be to turn and flee.
The reason why he dared block the way of the Human Immortals now was precisely because he had a backup plan.
Otherwise, he would have to be brainless to directly confront an opponent who had the upper hand. Frankly speaking, whether they were Human Immortals or even superior Monarchs like the Hanging Sky Sparrow, Feng Qing’an would never engage them head-on due to the risks involved.
As for commanding the cultivators of the Ghost Soul Sect to kill the demon king, it wasn’t himself who was at risk, it was them who were staking their lives. Accordingly, he naturally had nothing to fear.
“No problem!”
The Phoenix Supreme World Shocking Bell rang out. A scarlet radiance enveloped the area, transforming into a Celestial Phoenix. As it flapped its wings, a divine light filled the sky, shattering the void and anchoring on Feng Qing’an’s location. In an instant, it penetrated both realms.
The dawning light of the divine radiance filled the area. It was the residual wave of a strike that pierced through both realms. Even so, it was enough to reduce the skeletal giant claw reaching for Feng Qing’an to ashes.
The evil Immortal who rode on the corpse roc had a major change in his expression. He knew that something was amiss here. He tried to control the corpse roc and escape, but could he make it in time?
Ding~
The clear and melodious sound of sword echoed, igniting tremors that engulfed the heavens and earth. In an instant, the sword aura dismembered the corpse roc under the evil Immortal’s feet, its mournful wail echoed within the sword aura’s tidal waves.
“Third Soul Contract: Donghuang”
“Race: Innate Yin Spirit”
“Attributes: Yin, Immortal, Heaven, Spirit”
“Potential Level: Emperor· Superior”
“Combat Level: Emperor· Intermediate”
Although Donghuang had crossed the boundary and suppressed a Human Immortal with a single sword strike, Feng Qing’an immediately discerned the gap between Donghuang and the Spirit of the Cave Sky.
In contrast, the Spirit of the Cave Sky could effortlessly crush three consecutive Human Immortals. Despite their utmost resistance and use of all available tactics, it was in vain. Even the most potent Human Immortal’s Immortal Treasure, the Soul Hook, was instantly suppressed. This Immortal Treasure had now fallen into Feng Qing’an’s hands.
Jiuling, who could wield the Cave Sky’s power at will, was virtually invincible to any Human Immortal. Of course, this did not take into account very powerful inherited Immortal Weapons and Dao Artifacts.
Even though Donghuang had set foot in the Cave Sky, within Jiuling’s domain, he was extremely polite and didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect. Under normal circumstances, Donghuang was indeed not a match for Jiuling. However, she had a Dao Artifact with her. If she disregarded everything, she had the ability to shatter the Cave Sky.
When faced with an entity that could potentially destroy him at any moment, any sane person would pay respect. A more shameless figure would even behave obsequiously. Jiuling remained relatively dignified, refraining from any disgraceful actions.
Ding~
The second bell toll sounded, as if a myriad of stars were crashing down. Amidst the vast surge of sword aura, the corpse roc let out a scream of despair, and in an instant, it was shattered and disbanded, turning into debris spread across the sky, the air ripe with the stench of blood.
However, before the corpse roc had a chance to stain the earth with its remains, a pure white flame arose from the void, sweeping up all the flesh and blood. It burned violently, completely purifying the remains in an instant, transforming them into a mighty surge of spiritual energy that rippled in all directions.
The evil Immortal who rode the corpse roc, sensing that something was amiss, hastily abandoned his mount in an attempt to escape and preserve his life. Despite these efforts, his body was still severed into several pieces, painting a tragic scene.
If it weren’t for a secret technique that traded death for life, he too would have perished alongside his mount. He paid an unknown cost to stick together his shattered body, transforming it into a ray of black light, determined to escape and survive.
“Don’t hesitate to make your move, if it breaks, I can just fix it.”
Seeing the evil Immortal attempting to flee, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but sigh. Although they were separated by the boundless void, the ringing of the Phoenix Supreme World Shocking Bell could instantly suppress a Human Immortal. No matter how many secret techniques were deployed for self-protection, none could survive the wrath of a Dao Artifact.
The reason such a situation had arisen, allowing this evil Immortal a chance to escape, was due to Donghuang’s consideration for avoiding damage to the mountains beneath, lest it also destroy the serene landscape of Ling Mountain. After all, it was now their territory and shouldn’t be recklessly harmed.
“He won’t get away.”
Ding~
The third bell toll resounded. To the fleeing evil Immortal, who was desperately burning his lifeblood, this sound was no less terrifying than the collapse of the heavens, the sinking of mountains. Upon hearing the bell toll, he let out a despairing scream. His body completely disintegrated and transformed into a shower of light, sprinkling over the earth.
The evil Immortal, who had recklessly intruded into the gates of the Ghost Soul Sect on his corpse roc, only to then discover something amiss and attempt to flee, failed to escape the obstruction of the young man in white. In the end, he was erased completely by the three rings of the bell.
