Chapter 498 - Incarnation in the Celestial Court!

"Release me, and I\'ll rise from my coffin," Yun Xiao declared, his voice firm and tinged with an icy resolve.

"Sigh," the Heavenly Immortal chuckled, shaking her head, "You are truly endearing. I find myself reluctant to kill you. So handsome too. Return the compass and the Peach Blossom Elixir to me, and I\'ll take you to the Celestial Court to serve as a member, how about that?"

The Heavenly Immortal\'s words elicited little reaction from Yun Xiao, but Lian Xi seemed as though a jar of vinegar had spilled over.

"Shameless!" Lian Xi already detested the Heavenly Immortal, and now she could barely contain her fury. She turned to the little white tiger, "When they open the shroud, trap her, and help Yun Xiao escape."

"I can cover her briefly, but I need your strength, and you can\'t be too far. She will find you!" the little white tiger replied, troubled.

"It\'s fine," Lian Xi said without hesitation.

"You are trading your life for his!" the tiger said through clenched teeth.

"Is there a problem? He has already fulfilled his mission for me, and death seems like my destiny..." Lian Xi\'s eyes suddenly glazed over.

"Little Xi?" the tiger\'s expression shifted.

"After the sun and moon parted, I felt, somehow, that death might be a peaceful affair," Lian Xi said, her eyes brimming with tears, clutching the tiger with a desperate seriousness. "Please, let it be so!"

"No..." The tiger\'s eyes were misty.

"Please! I love him, I want him to live!" Lian Xi\'s gaze was heart-wrenchingly desolate, yet filled with an endless tenacity.

It seemed that the young man\'s arrival had changed the process, though the outcome remained the same.

The difference was that she had carved it deeper into her heart this time.

Her yearning gaze finally broke through the tiger\'s stubborn exterior, and, being just a hard-mouthed creature, it could only weep and agree before such steadfastness from Lian Xi.

And at that moment, Yun Xiao urgently demanded the Heavenly Immortal to open the shroud.

Lian Xi, too, wished for him to escape from the coffin.

The two struck an agreement!

With a wave of her hand, the Heavenly Immortal unraveled the shroud, and at the same moment, Yun Xiao separated from his ancient bronze coffin, suspended in midair.

The coffin quaked, on the verge of transforming into a fierce black-scaled beast in full view, ready for a decisive battle to the death!

In that instant, a thunderous roar rang out!

Out of nowhere, a splendid pagoda dropped from the skies, encasing the Heavenly Immortal with a blinding light.

Yun Xiao and the Heavenly Immortal were both stunned.

"Yun Xiao, run!" Lian Xi, her eyes red, screamed from the crowd.

Yun Xiao understood. She was saving him!

"Let\'s go together." Since Lian Xi had revealed herself, Yun Xiao had no choice but to flee first. Even if pursued, he could shift the battlefield, sparing the many below from harm.

"I can\'t leave... you go first!" Lian Xi stood resolutely on the ground of the Immortal Asylum, her eyes brimming with tears.

"What are you talking about? How could I abandon you?"

Yun Xiao had no idea of the complexities in her heart. He swooped down with his Sovereign Sword, scooped up Lian Xi in his arms, and flew off rapidly.

"Yun Xiao!" Lian Xi was dumbfounded, blurting out, "If I leave, the pagoda can\'t hold her without my strength!"

As expected, no sooner had she spoken than the Primordial Pagoda was blasted into the sky, and the Heavenly Immortal\'s icy gaze locked onto them.

"If it can\'t hold, then let\'s go!" Yun Xiao said as they sped away.

"..." Lian Xi fell silent.

She had envisioned a tragic drama of self-sacrifice for love, but the dire separation she feared never came—Yun Xiao had shattered her plot in an instant.

"It\'s all over now!"

Their troubles had just magnified.

"Not just yet! I still have a trick up my sleeve," Yun Xiao couldn\'t help but laugh.

If it hadn\'t been for her antics, he, alongside Blue Star and Red Moon, would already be clashing with the Heavenly Immortal.

But now, it was nearly the same!

The Heavenly Immortal, vexed by the intrusion of the pagoda and now seeing another woman emerge, added a touch of anger to her cold demeanor.

BOOM! Her delicate form burst into myriad peach blossoms, creating a swirling storm of pink petals that pursued them with a formidable force.

She had not harbored thoughts of murder before, but now her murderous intent surged like a tempest!

The scene stirred up a tumultuous uproar.

BOOM! The Heavenly Immortal\'s strength was indeed formidable. In just an instant, her storm of peach blossoms appeared at Yun Xiao\'s sides, trapping both him and his companion.

However, Yun Xiao had achieved his goal; he had moved the battlefield away from the dense crowd.

He suddenly halted his Sovereign Sword!

BUZZ! The peach blossom storm before him coalesced into the form of a long-haired maiden, a Heavenly Immortal!

As a woman, her gaze first fell on Lian Xi, the woman who had struck her with a brick!

"I\'ve already thought of how you\'ll die..." The Heavenly Immortal stared coldly at Lian Xi, her words cutting off mid-sentence as her indifferent expression suddenly contorted.

Yun Xiao clearly saw her pretty face twitching.

Then, her body began to convulse!

Throughout, she kept her eyes wide open, fixed on Lian Xi, not diverting her gaze.

"Is she seeing a ghost?" Yun Xiao remarked, surprised.

"You\'re the ghost... a cheeky ghost..." Lian Xi rolled her eyes at him, then turned her gaze back to the Heavenly Immortal, somewhat at a loss.

Seeing her begin to twitch, what was she up to?

In this eerie atmosphere, the Heavenly Immortal suddenly dropped to the ground in terror, then knelt and prostrated herself before Lian Xi, banging her head on the ground.

"I, a humble Immortal, bow before Divine Dawn!"

These words, coupled with her look of extreme fear, revealed far too much.

Yun Xiao furrowed his brows, exchanging a glance with Blue Star.

"Does the Celestial Court also have an incarnation of transcending calamity? And one of such high status?" Yun Xiao felt a thrilling shock.

"Being named Divine Dawn doesn’t necessarily mean she’s an incarnation of transcending calamity..." Blue Star spoke somberly.

The Heavenly Immortal had been shocked only after seeing Lian Xi\'s face, whereas the previous encounter with another True Immortal showed no reaction, suggesting that Immortal may not have had the privilege to witness the true face of Divine Dawn.

"Shen Xi, Divine Dawn?" Lian Xi asked, puzzled for a moment.

The Martial Emperor Clan bore the surname Shen, which meant Divine. So, Lian Xi\'s true name was Shen Xi.

"Act!" Yun Xiao whispered a reminder.

Quick as frost, Lian Xi understood, her expression turning immediately cold and haughty.

The less she revealed, the better. And so, she merely watched the Heavenly Immortal, silent.

Her silence made the Heavenly Immortal even more anxious, and she stammered, "I did not know Divine Dawn was here to temper her mortal heart. My disturbance is a sin deserving death!"

"Leave." Lian Xi said indifferently.

"As you command!" The Heavenly Immortal trembled, tears filling her eyes, a stark contrast to her earlier cold demeanor.

She bowed deeply, backing away until she was far enough to stand upright.

Before leaving, with a hint of a sob, she said to Lian Xi, "When you return to the Celestial Court, my father and I will come to apologize."

Lian Xi did not even look at her.

The Heavenly Immortal\'s gaze dimmed, tears streaming down her face.

Then, she quietly ascended towards the sky, flying to an immeasurable height, and suddenly vanished, truly leaving the mortal realm.

"Yun Xiao!" Lian Xi\'s stern face finally relaxed, her eyes wide as she said, "There’s someone in the Celestial Court who looks just like me?"

"Seems so." Yun Xiao turned his gaze over the entire Immortal Asylum.

After the Heavenly Immortal left, the All Life Devouring Gu seemed to fail, and many cultivators suddenly froze, frothing at the mouth.

Yet their eyes became clearer.

"Has this calamity of all beings really been resolved just like that?"

Neither Yun Xiao nor Lian Xi had anticipated such an astonishing outcome.

What kind of power did this being known as Divine Dawn possess?

"It\'s wonderful." Lian Xi, looking over the human realm, her eyes misty with tears again.

This was the world they had sworn to protect!

"It\'s over now." Yun Xiao embraced her, watching as the common folk gradually regained their senses and began to cast grateful looks his way. He knew then that it had all been worth it.

"Next time, if someone else comes down for the Immortal Asylum, can I scare them all off again?" Lian Xi suddenly asked.

Yun Xiao pursed his lips, "Hard to say, if used too often it might give us away."

What if they disturbed that Divine Dawn? What would happen if two incarnations of transcending calamity coexisted?

And if that being was herself, and he had somehow defiled Lian Xi, would she destroy him?

Yun Xiao had never seen her, but he could feel an immense pressure.

Chen Xi was steadfast, Lian Xi charming, but what was this incarnation like?

Before Yun Xiao could ponder this question further, a tremor suddenly came from the ends of the sky.

Yun Xiao looked up!

"The Skyruler Sword Vessel?"

He saw it—a colossal sword speeding towards the Immortal Asylum.

Within that giant sword, he could faintly make out the figure of another immortal.

"He\'s back quickly..." Lian Xi smiled playfully, "Too bad, he\'s too late. It\'s already been settled."

"Yes." Yun Xiao, for some reason, couldn\'t feel too optimistic.

The Nian\'s warnings about the greedy beings made him realize that things were not so simple.

He suddenly looked beyond the Skyruler Sword Vessel to the void behind it.

Indeed, there were many shadows of other vessels moving through that space.
