Gateway of Immortality

Boom! The female creatures had only just appeared when they fell into a sea of flames before they could do anything at all.

Scorched by the devilish flames, the female creatures suffered unbearable agony and let out shrill screams.

They struggled desperately within the sea of flames, but they could not withstand the might of the flames. Their auras quickly withered, leaving them in miserable condition. In only a few moments, they fled back into the flower fan amid their screams.

Then the devilish flames slammed fiercely into the astra itself!

The flower fan was an unusual astra and had never been suited for defense. Once struck by the devilish flames, its radiance dimmed sharply. It let out a mournful cry and suffered serious damage, then was sent flying away on the spot.

The astra was linked to Yue Sanren’s mind. After being struck so heavily again and again, Yue Sanren felt as if he had been hit by lightning. His throat turned sweet, and he spat out blood, his face turning deathly pale.

I can't even withstand a single move from the devilish flames! Yue Sanren’s face filled with horror as he fled in panic.

But unexpectedly, the devilish flames suddenly rolled back and were withdrawn by Qin Sang. Immediately afterward, a dazzling point of light burst out through the flames and shot forward with extreme speed. In an instant, it stabbed toward him. It was the ebony sword.

Qin Sang had made such a great sacrifice for one reason only, to kill this man completely. If Yue Sanren’s Spiritual Infant escaped, all of it would have been for nothing.

To destroy a Spiritual Infant, he had to rely on the Seven-Yin-Soul Killing Array.

Yue Sanren had no time to reform the flower fan. In terror, he hastily slapped his Mustard Seed Pouch, and a streak of azure light shot out. It was a mass of crimson clouds with an unstable shape.

This was the protective treasure Yue Sanren often used, called the Crimson Cloud Veil.

The Crimson Cloud Veil expanded at once and became a curtain of clouds behind him. Yue Sanren did not even look back and focused solely on escaping for his life.

This was the greatest crisis of his life. He knew he was no match for Qin Sang, so he could only delay for as long as possible and pin his hopes on the woman in purple noticing the disturbance here and activating the array to save him.

Whoosh! The ebony sword arrived in a flash. Faced with the cloud curtain, it did not slow in the slightest. The sword body trembled, spraying out a streak of blood light that fell entirely onto the curtain.

Once defiled, the Crimson Cloud Veil’s treasure light immediately dimmed, and its power dropped sharply. With the astra damaged, the cloud curtain dispersed and could no longer hold.

The ebony sword showed no courtesy and pierced straight through the curtain, catching up to Yue Sanren in the blink of an eye.

Yue Sanren was just about to bring out another treasure when the surroundings suddenly darkened. He cried out inwardly that things had gone badly. He had already fallen into the Seven-Yin-Soul Killing Array!

Whoosh, whoosh... The ebony sword vanished, and the sword array transformed into countless sword threads that shredded Yue Sanren!

Qin Sang had not yet fully comprehended the Seven-Yin-Soul Killing Array. When used against opponents like Old Devil Ye, its power was somewhat lacking. But against someone like Yue Sanren, the might of the sword array was enough to strike terror into the heart!

The speed of their clash had been astonishingly fast. After a dazzling series of changes, Yue Sanren first lost the flower fan, then had the Crimson Cloud Veil damaged as well.

The woman in purple overseeing the array had finally noticed what was happening here. Caught off guard, she had not yet had time to do anything before Yue Sanren had already fallen into extreme danger.

Rumble! With a thunderous roar, enormous waves rose on all sides and smashed toward Qin Sang with terrifying force.

Qin Sang ignored them completely and focused on controlling the sword array. Inside the sword array, Yue Sanren screamed again and again.

Just then, a gray hurricane suddenly appeared above the battlefield. As it pressed downward, a faint tower shadow seemed to be hidden within it. Slow in appearance yet fast in truth, it transformed into a heavy wall of wind and, at the critical moment, suppressed the giant waves for Qin Sang.

Because of this plan, Qingjun had been keeping watch over Qin Sang’s movements the entire time while presiding over the array. She acted at once, removing outside interference for him.

She even merged the pressure of the Xun Wind Grand Array into the Seven-Yin-Soul Killing Array, helping Qin Sang overwhelm Yue Sanren and end the fight more quickly.

With that, Yue Sanren’s final hope of survival was completely cut off!

Poof! A sword thread flashed past.

Yue Sanren’s left arm was severed cleanly at the shoulder. Wounds covered his entire body, and blood streamed everywhere. He was a miserable sight.

At the brink of death, Yue Sanren made one final struggle. With a roar, he threw himself forward and flung out more than a dozen lightning beads refined from his poison. He broke free from the pressure on his body, and even the sword array shook for a moment. He let the sword array shred his physical body while his Spiritual Infant flew out from the top of his head. Looking around blankly for a moment, it fixed on a direction and was just about to use teleportation.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment the Seven-Yin-Soul Killing Array burst with dark light, and a strange fluctuation came crashing over.

Yue Sanren’s Spiritual Infant suddenly fell into a daze and missed the crucial chance. By the time he regained his senses, he discovered in terror that a flying sword had appeared before him at some unknown time, and its sword qi was extremely sharp!

"No!" Boundless fear filled Yue Sanren’s eyes, and his scream came to an abrupt halt.

The ebony sword pierced straight through him, and the Spiritual Infant shattered on the spot! Qin Sang showed no mercy and killed Yue Sanren!

The sword array drew back, the ghostly light faded, and Yue Sanren vanished completely from the world. Qin Sang extended his hand and took Yue Sanren’s Mustard Seed Pouch and astra into his grasp.

This was the second Sin Abyss Spiritual Infant cultivator he had slain through the array!

On Shuangjing Mountain, the woman in purple presiding over the array was filled with fury and shock, her eyes practically spitting fire. None of them had expected Qin Sang to possess such brilliant methods of disguise, to impersonate Madam Luo and lay a trap.

Yue Sanren was complete trash. He was killed almost the moment they met, without any power to resist. Even his Spiritual Infant was not given a chance to escape, leaving me no time at all to save him. The woman in purple thought.

Since Qin Sang had burst onto the scene, if Old Devil Ye’s blood devil incarnation was included, three Spiritual Infant cultivators of Sin Abyss had already died by his hand. All of them had been utterly destroyed, with even their Spiritual Infants slain. The losses were truly disastrous.

Looking down the mountain again, Madam Luo, who had been assisting Qingjun, had already returned to her original appearance. Smiling sweetly, she looked toward the mountaintop in open provocation. Madam Luo was naturally delighted.

The reason that this plan had succeeded and resulted in the array slaying a Sin Abyss Spiritual Infant was certainly due to Qin Sang’s astonishing strength, but her contribution could not be ignored either. And the one who had died was Yue Sanren, the man she hated most. It was killing two birds with one stone.

The great battle had only just begun, yet already one Spiritual Infant cultivator had fallen. Sin Abyss was badly shaken, and the expressions of their Spiritual Infant cultivators all changed.

The woman in purple sent a voice transmission calling others over to preside over the array, then personally entered the array herself.

Qin Sang put away Yue Sanren’s Mustard Seed Pouch and swept his spiritual consciousness inside. Sin Abyss had invaded Tianxing Alliance for years and plundered on a massive scale. Yue Sanren had likewise accumulated no small amount of wealth.

Qin Sang gave it a brief glance and found no extraordinary treasures of notable origin, only ordinary items.

Then, a cold snort suddenly reached his ears. In the distance, the lake water stirred, and a figure emerged. It was the woman in purple.

The moment he saw her, Qin Sang’s pupils constricted slightly. He immediately put away the Mustard Seed Pouch, flicked his sleeve, and the eighteen devilish banners flew out once more, with devilish flames circling and dancing around him.

This woman is actually a middle-stage Spiritual Infant expert! Judging from her aura, she is even somewhat stronger than Dongyang Bo. Qin Sang thought.

"Fairy Qiuzhi!" Qin Sang’s thoughts turned, and he remembered her identity.

She had originally come from a subordinate sect under Xingheng Sect, one that had in truth been forcibly subdued by Xingheng Sect. She was exceptionally gifted, and had openly announced her separation from Xingheng Sect not long after forming her Spiritual Infant.

Tianzheng had once tried to subdue her, but not only had she refused to yield, she had withstood the pressure and broken through to the middle-stage Spiritual Infant Realm in one stroke. Tianzheng had ultimately been forced to accept peace talks.

Realizing that Fairy Qiuzhi had come looking for him personally, Qin Sang quietly became more alert.
