Chapter 989: Confrontation
Barrenlands.
Mahayana battlefield.
Qing Xu Tong Zi held the Wind Fire Fan, and the Heavenly Gang Wind swept through, capable of scattering any magic treasure from its essence, utterly rendering it useless.
He gazed at the Mahayana cultivators of the alien races before him, a trace of exasperation surfacing on his face: "Remnants of the Demon race and Jiuchi race. . . How are Mahayana cultivators breeding like animals? They're utterly disgraceful!"
According to intelligence reports, when the Demonic and even Jiuchi and other alien races underwent tribulation to the Integration stage, the power of the heavenly tribulation was surprisingly weakened considerably, as if everyone possessed a lightning-transforming treasure.
Not only that!
In the Barrenlands, various Immortal Abode secret realms appeared frequently, only to be stumbled upon by the lucky individuals of the alien races.
Furthermore, under the machinations of heavenly secrets, these alien races had recently produced a considerable number of exceptionally gifted cultivation prodigies!
"Daoist Qing Xu, do not fret," Shen Suan Zi said, laughing loudly. "How could this old man calculate wrongly? Today, our side is bound to achieve a great victory!"
Shen Suan Zi's entire being exuded a majestic aura as he laughed loudly.
Jin Gangzi and Mo Yun Zi remained silent, their Mahayana-level magical power fluctuations sweeping across the entire field.
Suddenly, two more Immortal Abode Rare Treasures collided in the void.
Terrifying immortal essence power fluctuations directly tore open the void, even creating a unique and enormous void rift.
On the opposite side, several Mahayana cultivators of the Demon race and other alien races all remained silent.
They were the lucky ones after the heavens and earth loosened their restrictions; although they had encountered repeated fortuitous opportunities, when it came to actual combat skills and temperament, they were still a notch below the human Mahayana cultivators.
"Currently, Daoist Yun, Daoist Shui, and those two True Spirits are guarding the Demon race territory, preventing the Demon race from making reckless moves, so the Demon race, Jiuchi race, and other alien Mahayana cultivators opposite us have absolutely no reinforcements!"
Shen Suan Zi's calculating rods flashed rapidly in his hand: "These past few years have indeed been somewhat inexplicable. . . but as long as we pass this hurdle, our human race will be the true overlords of the Earthly Immortal World, and can enjoy eternal peace for ten thousand generations."
"Hmph, you killed my kin and caused the destruction of Di Yao. Such a blood feud is irreconcilable!"
A Mahayana cultivator of the Jiuchi race roared.
He wore a shimmering, iridescent armor, which was surprisingly also of the Immortal Abode Rare Treasure grade, making Shen Suan Zi feel a pang of envy, wishing he could strip it from the opponent's body.
'Damn it, the fortuitous opportunities of these alien races are simply too good. . . '
'Could this truly be a calamity for the human race? Has our human race, by not cultivating its destiny, incurred the rejection of heaven and earth? '
Mo Yun Zi and Jin Gangzi exchanged a glance, their thoughts varied.
"The Earthly Immortal World is the realm of Earth Immortals from all races. . ."
At this moment, another alien Mahayana cultivator stepped forth from the opposing Mahayana cultivator formation of the alien races.
He wore an exaggerated bronze mask, his figure resembling a withered branch, and in his hand, he held a massive wooden staff.
At the top of the staff, there was a deer's head.
The eyes of this deer's head were surprisingly open.
As its eyes fixed upon him, Shen Suan Zi felt a sudden hollowness in his heart and a profound sense of awe.
"You are. . . the High Priest of the Heavenly Will Clan? You've actually reached Mahayana!"
Shen Suan Zi glanced at the person and recognized his identity.
Among the alien races of the Earthly Immortal World, the Heavenly Will Clan was originally just a small ethnic group, finding it difficult even to produce Integration cultivators.
Because this branch of the alien race excelled in divination arts, capable of deducing heavenly secrets!
Precisely because of this, they were prone to heavenly retribution; it was said that they had never produced a Mahayana cultivator, and were often bullied by larger clans, forcing their High Priest to divine the future for them at the cost of their kin's lives.
But for some unknown reason, this generation's High Priest had actually broken through such shackles!
Not only that, his strength was even more unfathomable.
"A great evil is currently eroding the very origin of the Earthly Immortal World. . . If it cannot be resolved before the seven suns completely set, we will all utterly become slaves. . ."
"And that great evil originates from the human race! This is why the human race has been rejected by heaven and earth, while numerous alien races have gained the favor of heaven and earth."
The High Priest of the Heavenly Will Clan said in a desolate tone.
"Hmph! This old man doesn't believe it."
Qing Xu Tong Zi declared decisively.
"Moreover. . . even if we were to believe it, how can we find that person in the Barrenlands now, before sunset?"
Shen Suan Zi also shook his head.
Actually, he believed it somewhat in his heart; after all, he was the human race's foremost divination master.
Yet at this moment, a name suddenly surfaced in his mind. . .
If it were that person, it was indeed possible for such a thing to happen.
But he was extremely adept at the way of self-preservation, feeling that compared to facing that person, it would be better to just have a decisive battle with the alien Mahayana cultivators right here. . .
Although rumors in the Earthly Immortal World claimed that person had long ago overcome all nine tribulations and ascended, he had never shown himself.
But cultivators often presented a mix of truth and falsehood, and had long grown tired of all sorts of military strategies and schemes. Perhaps. . . the Immortal World Gate that received him back then was not that person, but rather another individual who had quietly cultivated into an immortal?
"That evil has never been concealed; he is right at the central axis of the Earthly Immortal World. . . within Three Realms Mountain."
The High Priest of the Heavenly Will Clan spoke.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yun Zi immediately had a flicker in his eyes.
Qing Xu Tong Zi couldn't help but look at Mo Yun Zi.
"That place is shrouded by endless mist and void rifts; I haven't discovered anything amiss."
Mo Yun Zi replied without changing his expression.
"Heh heh. . . If we go together, we can find out a thing or two."
At this moment, a Mahayana cultivator of the Kong Clan with a crystal embedded in his forehead stepped out, and a scroll appeared in his hand—it was surprisingly another Immortal Abode Rare Treasure!
Upon seeing this scene, Qing Xu Tong Zi felt a hint of despair.
Why was it that while the human race clearly dominated the Earthly Immortal World, these alien races grew stronger the more they were suppressed?
"Go! "The Mahayana cultivator of the Kong Clan formed hand seals with both hands, injecting Mahayana-level immortal essence power into that painting scroll.
A spiritual void immortal realm appeared out of thin air, transforming into a Grotto-Heaven, completely enveloping all the Mahayana cultivators present within it.
Shen Suan Zi, Jin Gangzi, Mo Yun Zi, and Qing Xu Tong Zi roared in unison and unleashed their full power simultaneously.
Not long after, they broke through the void and stepped out of the Ethereal Immortal Painting.
But the next instant, their expressions drastically changed.
What appeared before their eyes was no longer the scene of the Barrenlands, but rather. . . Three Realms Mountain!
However, at this moment, the void immortal array covering Three Realms Mountain had already been broken, revealing a gigantic demonic tree that blotted out the sky.
The moment they saw this Demonic Tree, even Qing Xu Tong Zi and the other human Mahayana cultivators couldn't help but repeatedly change expressions, feeling disgust in their hearts: "Demons! ?"
...
"Go!"
At the root of the Demonic Tree, Fang Xi sat cross-legged, the Demonic Tree tattoo on his back continuously stretching its branches and leaves.
In a certain space deep underground, root-like tendrils, long as needles, pierced into the depths of a seven-colored crystal, drawing out streams of chaotic qi.
And after the chaotic qi streams began to boil, a strange rune gradually revealed its true form.
"This. . . Taiyi Yin Seal?"
At this moment, Fang Xi gazed at this rune, which seemed to encompass everything and represent the 'Heaven's Heart Imprint' of all living beings in the Earthly Immortal World, yet what he thought of was the 'Taiyi Yin Seal' from the "Guanghan Heavenly Tome"!
"So, to become a Heavenly Immortal, one needs this kind of seal script similar to the Heaven's Heart Imprint?"
"Whether it's the 'Taiyi Yin Seal', or the 'Daluo Yang Seal', 'Ziqing Immortal Seal', 'Doushuai True Decree'. . . do they all represent a portion of the origin of heaven and earth?"
"Even if it's extremely small, it's still there. . . Once comprehended, one can achieve a Heavenly Immortal Primordial Spirit!"
"For the Heavenly Immortal Primordial Spirit of that Great Thousand World, the key lies in connecting with the origin of heaven and earth through seal script, and triggering a resonance with heaven and earth?"
"Then what about a Golden Immortal?"
Merely by seeing this 'Heaven's Heart Imprint', Fang Xi felt a great awakening in his Dao Arts.
But at this moment, his divine sense materialized like strands, depicting a large number of secret texts from the 'Earthly Immortal Undying Art'.
"Divine Sense Lock!"
Fang Xi lightly shouted, and the power of his divine sense transformed into strange golden chains, on the surface of which were countless interconnected golden seal scripts, firmly wrapping around the 'Heaven's Heart Imprint' and preparing to refine it.
Once he refined the 'Heaven's Heart Imprint', he would be the undisputed ruler of the Earthly Immortal World, capable of stripping any cultivator of their cultivation with a single word and deciding the life and death of any living being.
Furthermore, the human race would greatly prosper because of this, becoming the undisputed foremost race in the Earthly Immortal World; the number of geniuses born would skyrocket, and every human would possess immense fortune, truly earning the favor of heaven and earth!
But at this moment, Fang Xi only felt his divine sense touch an indescribable, unimaginable 'colossus'!
That was the accumulation of countless years of information from the entire Earthly Immortal World, from every flower and blade of grass, to the seven suns and nine moons, and even all living beings, all birth, aging, illness, and death—all clearly before his eyes. . .
Diverse, endless torrents of memories, carrying thoughts of ruthlessness, indifference, cruelty, and kindness, almost caused Fang Xi's primordial spirit to explode instantly!
"Transfer!"
At the critical moment, he activated a secret art, and as stated in the inheritance of the 'Earthly Immortal Undying Art', he completely transferred all this information and these emotions onto the Demonic Tree behind him.
The Demonic Tree vibrated violently, and its aura suddenly became incredibly ancient and weathered.
*Swish swish! *
In the void, streaks of law power emerged, countless threads of law twisted together, forming chains of law that surprisingly broke through the suppression of spiritual domain power, piercing through Fang Xi's body and primordial spirit!
"As expected of a Middle Thousand World. . . In terms of sheer mass, it is truly hundreds, even thousands of times more vast than a True Immortal. . ."
"If it weren't for its reliance on mechanical rule operation, I would have no chance to refine its origin of heaven and earth."
Fang Xi's aura plummeted wildly; almost instantly, he was suppressed to the Mahayana level.
And at this critical point, he finally achieved a balance with the Earthly Immortal World's suppression, and his cultivation did not drop any further.
"Hm? Yet precisely at this moment, outsiders have actually arrived?"
"Refining the origin of the Earthly Immortal World is indeed not a smooth process; there are always tribulations!"
Fang Xi murmured, and the Mountain Sea Pearl avatar, wearing a bronze mask on its face, immediately flew out.
...
"This. . . a Banished Immortal?"
When Qing Xu Tong Zi saw the Mountain Sea Pearl avatar, his hair suddenly stood on end.
In the history of the human, demon, and devil races, they had once jointly resolved the matter of an immortal!
This was something he couldn't help but take seriously!
"This person's magical power has already been suppressed by heaven and earth. . . at most, he's at the peak Mahayana level. Die!"
The High Priest of the Heavenly Will Clan shrieked, and the deer-head staff in his hand let out a strange cry.
Streaks of emerald green light floated, pulling at chains of law, their power endless.
He had surprisingly been hiding his true strength all along.
In terms of true cultivation, he was almost on par with Di Yao back then!
The Mahayana cultivator of the Kong Clan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook the 'Ethereal Immortal Painting' in his hand!
A clear sky appeared, numerous auroras of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple surged, and crashed down with a rumble!
The other alien Mahayana cultivators remained silent and took out several Immortal Abode True Talismans.
The violent law fluctuations caused Qing Xu Tong Zi and the other human Mahayana cultivators' expressions to change drastically.
For some reason, as they looked at the masked person, a strong sense of loathing and resentment also emerged in their hearts.
If it weren't for the Mahayana cultivators having long since overcome numerous heart demon tribulations and their wills and beliefs being incredibly firm, they might have joined the ranks of the alien Mahayana cultivators and besieged the masked person alongside them.
But now, merely remaining silent and neutral was already considered being influenced by heaven and earth.
"Five Sacred Mountain True Form! !"
The Mountain Sea Pearl avatar lightly shouted, and five strange mountain peaks appeared, each with distinct characteristics, combining grandeur, peril, elegance, serenity, and steepness into one, resisting the seemingly endless torrent of laws!
