Chapter 720 - 718: First-Grade Immortal Foundation, Pardon My Inferiority
What?
Everyone under heaven was stunned speechless!
The disciples of the Ice and Snow Immortal Palace all went mad.
"Bastard, have you no shame at all? If it weren’t for you, how could the Immortal Dragon Marrow have left the mountain peak?"
"This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone so shameless!"
"Xu Yang, you bastard, you’re dead for sure."
...
People had seen shameless, but never anyone this shameless.
Ji Hong, Zhou Tai, Luo Jiang and the others’ faces all twitched as they looked at the crazed Ice and Snow Immortal Palace disciples. They quietly retreated, keeping far away for fear of being dragged in.
"Something big is about to happen."
"This guy robbed Liou Xueyan of a tremendous opportunity, Liou Xueyan and the Ice and Snow Immortal Palace will never just let this go!"
Zhou Tai gazed at Xu Yang, his face grave.
Yang Yuan clenched his fists, almost grinding his teeth to pieces.
To so easily devour the Ice and Snow Immortal Dragon Marrow was enough to prove Xu Yang’s immortal foundation was at least Eighth Grade.
Was he really not Ninth Grade?
Xu Yang suddenly looked down, a mocking smile on his lips. "The disciples of the Ice and Snow Immortal Palace have truly opened my eyes."
"I never imagined Miss Liou held such a high status in your hearts. For the sake of her own fortune, she let over a hundred genius disciples die outright, and Qin Qian, you nearly lost your life as well. Yet you all ignore it completely, still worshiping Liou Xueyan as your queen. I truly feel sorry for those fallen disciples!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s faces changed again and again, grief-stricken and pained.
Especially the vast majority of disciples who’d barely escaped that storm by luck—they all fell into memories, deeply shaken, speechless for the moment.
Even Qin Qian clenched his fists, wanting to speak but not knowing how to refute Xu Yang!
"Xu Yang!"
"You’re courting death!"
Liou Xueyan was shaking with rage, killing intent surging, her black hair flying, as she unleashed a frigid storm straight at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang’s face shifted slightly, and he retreated like lightning.
Truth be told, right now he didn’t want to fight Liou Xueyan.
Although his immortal foundation had fully suppressed the Immortal Dragon Marrow, refining and absorbing it still needed time.
He’d just broken through. He needed to rely on the power of the Immortal Dragon Marrow to refine and forge his immortal veins, so most of the power inside him couldn’t be used.
Boom!
Xu Yang barely summoned enough strength to slash apart the frigid storm, but was met with powerful resistance.
Bang!
Liou Xueyan grabbed the ink-black blade with one palm, crushing the immortal light with a merciless squeeze, her eyes ferocious and cold as death.
The surrounding space trembled violently, countless snowflakes appearing, blasting toward Xu Yang from every direction.
Xu Yang stumbled backward in utter embarrassment.
"Is that all you’ve got? And you dare snatch my fortune?"
"No matter how you managed to devour the Immortal Dragon Marrow, no one is going to take my fortune from me today. I’ll refine you, reclaim the Immortal Dragon Marrow!"
Liou Xueyan’s killing intent swept along in the vast wind and snow.
Each strike screamed death, deadly with every move.
Below, the world rumbled, glaciers heaving, Cold Vein in chaos, a destructive storm brewing by the second.
With the disappearance of the Immortal Dragon Marrow, the Cold Vein lost its stability.
Collapse—it was only a matter of time.
"Did you really think I’m easy prey?"
Xu Yang’s gaze turned icy cold.
Suddenly, a low voice sounded in his ear: "Xu Yang, even if you’re strong enough to resist Liou Xueyan, you have to hold back. You stole her Ice and Snow Immortal Dragon Marrow and you’re on Ice and Snow Immortal Palace’s turf. It’s nothing to lose a little face here—think about leaving safely now, that’s what matters most!"
It was the voice of the Fourth Elder.
As his voice faded, Xu Yang felt the power of the Jade Talisman given by the Fourth Elder vanish utterly with a crisp "crack."
Getting out is the key!
Xu Yang’s pupils contracted, instantly understanding.
The Fourth Elder was right!
He’d already won big, losing a bit of face meant nothing.
If the Ice and Snow Immortal Palace refused to let him go, that would be real trouble.
At this thought, Xu Yang instantly dispersed the power of his immortal foundation, focusing on controlling it to devour the Immortal Dragon Marrow, forging his immortal veins.
Boom!
Liou Xueyan struck Xu Yang with a palm, sending him flying and smashing open the glacier.
Immediately after, the Ice Extreme Immortal Puppet Map rippled, and ten immortal puppets appeared at once.
Ten immortal puppets of the late stage Celestial Immortal Realm!
After entering Cold Vein Heaven and Earth, over this past month, although Liou Xueyan’s cultivation had remained at the middle stage of Celestial Immortal, her combat power had soared to an astonishing level, far above many others.
At this moment, exerting her full strength, summoning ten late-stage Celestial Immortal puppets was no hard feat.
Seeing these ten late-stage immortal puppets, Ji Hong and the others turned pale with fear, just the overflowing aura was enough to make their hearts lurch in terror.
"The Cold Vein is losing stability and about to collapse, this entire world will spiral into chaos—hurry up and leave!"
"What about Xu Yang?"
"Forget him. He can only rely on himself now. What could we do? Just those immortal puppets could torture us to death!"
Ji Hong made a decisive choice.
No one could intervene here now.
The crowd immediately bolted toward the edge exit.
BOOM—!!
The glaciers shattered, frigid currents erupted.
Xu Yang had just poked his head up, only to see those ten immortal puppets, muscles twitching uncontrollably.
This crazy woman—she was hell-bent on killing him!
But then again, if someone stole such a priceless opportunity from him, he’d go berserk too!
"With this woman’s power and the puppets from the Ice Extreme Immortal Puppet Map, even if I finish forging my immortal veins and fully stabilize my cultivation, I still can’t guarantee I’d beat her with ease!"
Liou Xueyan absolutely had the strength of late-stage Celestial Immortal.
On top of that, with the influence of this icy world and Immortal Puppet Map, arguably no one under a Golden Immortal in North Province—not unless they were an apex-level Celestial Immortal—could handle her.
Boom!
Xu Yang slashed at one of the immortal puppets, clashing with a terrifying force and soul-freezing coldness.
He was fiercely forced back, and immediately turned to run.
"Don’t even think about running."
Liou Xueyan didn’t care about anything, wantonly venting her fury. Even the frigid torrents erupting chaotically from below were shattered to nothing by her own power and the force of the Immortal Puppet Map, completely unable to touch her.
She was like a snow goddess, utterly rampant, fearing nothing!
Pursued all the way, Xu Yang was in the most miserable state, wounded all over.
The only upside was that the absorption speed of the Immortal Dragon Marrow inside him had soared.
One hundred and eight embryonic immortal veins within him had, in just these few moments, already successfully forged about a third!
Boom!
Crack!
Behind, a ten-thousand-mile region suddenly collapsed.
Endless surging frigid tides blasted skyward like a mad deluge, smashing giant glacier mountains and ripping open the misty Heaven and Earth Immortal Array overhead.
The earth trembled and mountains shook, the world thrown into imbalance!
The Cold Vein Heaven and Earth collapsed, inch by inch, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xu Yang was once again blasted into the freezing torrents.
He climbed up in a sorry state, coldly glaring at the murderous Liou Xueyan. "If you dare kill me, what do you think my master and the Sect Leader would do—would they wreak havoc in your Ice and Snow Immortal Palace?"
"I came here at your invitation. Entering the Cold Vein Heaven and Earth, all fortunes and treasures here, your Palace Master claimed, were free for the taking."
"What, now that you’ve lost, you can’t accept it?"
Xu Yang claimed this Ice and Snow Immortal Dragon Marrow with complete justification!
But before his words even faded, Liou Xueyan struck with her immortal puppets in a fierce assault.
Boom!
Xu Yang spat out blood, every bone in his body trembling.
"Goddamn it!"
Shaking, Xu Yang had just climbed up when he met Liou Xueyan’s blood-red gaze.
Behind them, the doomsday storm swept forward at terrifying speed, but Liou Xueyan was utterly indifferent. It made Xu Yang’s heart jump with dread.
"Enough!"
Just as Liou Xueyan was about to strike again, a cold shout rang out from nowhere, halting her in her tracks.
It was the voice of Cangxue Golden Immortal.
Liou Xueyan’s lovely face twisted violently, and she pinned Xu Yang with a deadly glare, her killing intent not diminishing in the slightest.
"You—what grade is your immortal foundation?"
Xu Yang slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinning: "Just a mere First Grade immortal foundation, Miss Liou, forgive me for letting you down."
First Grade?
Liou Xueyan’s whole body shook, and thunderous blood-red streaks shot from her eyes as she roared, "Still daring to mock me? Do you really think I won’t kill you?"
