Chapter 494 - 380: Dark Sacrificial Dao Array, The Profound Yellow Elder Returns
"You have killed the Forbidden Immortal Life from our Dark Forbidden Land many times. Today, you will die."
"The Profound Yellow Realm will be the first Origin World to be refined."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A continuous series of explosions erupted.
The three Forbidden Immortal Lives joined forces to besiege Chen Wangu. Inside the Dark Sacrificial Dao Array, Chen Wangu was completely outmatched and fell into a disadvantageous position.
"*Cough, cough...*"
Fairy Purple Mist was coughing up blood. Her injuries were severe, and she needed time to recover.
"Kunlun Dao Mirror."
BUZZ!
Finally.
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch, who had been hidden for a long time, finally made his move. Though he had only recently reached the Undying Immortal stage, his power was not to be underestimated; he was also at the level of Immortal Will.
An immensely majestic Dao Mirror manifested.
It charged straight into the Dark Sacrificial Dao Array and joined forces with Chen Wangu. One sword and one mirror, they fought against the Dark Sacrificial Dao Array.
"Hm?"
"Another Immortal! This..."
"There’s another one."
Evidently.
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s intervention had caught the three Forbidden Immortal Lives off guard, but they quickly composed themselves and joined forces to suppress them.
"I didn’t expect your Profound Yellow Realm to possess such hidden depths, enough to produce another Immortal Will. It’s a pity. Even with the two of you combined, you are still no match for us, and you can’t possibly shatter our Dark Sacrificial Dao Array."
"Chen Wangu, it seems you deliberately concealed the existence of another Immortal Will, hoping to trap us again. Unfortunately for you, you’ve greatly overestimated your own strength."
"From the very beginning, every world, every living being, and every race in the entire Sea of Chaos has been nothing more than a hunting ground in the eyes of us from the Nine Great Forbidden Lands. They are all just provisions for us to refine into Immortal Substance, resources for our path to Eternal Immortality. Whenever we need to, we can simply begin the harvest."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The battle grew more intense. Terrifying power tore through the firmament, and the clash of supreme Immortal Power produced countless anomalous visions.
It was as if...
...the entire Profound Yellow Realm was about to collapse.
...!!!
Chen Wangu and the Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s expressions grew grim. Just as the three Forbidden Immortal Lives had said, they had overestimated their own strength and underestimated the terror of the Nine Great Forbidden Lands.
From the beginning.
The Forbidden Land Life that first reawakened from the Nine Great Forbidden Lands were only the weakest of their kind. As time passed and the opening of the Only True Path drew nearer, the truly terrifying Forbidden Land Life would begin to awaken in full.
When that time came.
That would be the true doomsday for the entire Sea of Chaos. To achieve true Eternal Immortality, those genuinely terrifying Forbidden Land Life would conduct a blood sacrifice of the countless worlds and beings across the entire Sea of Chaos.
One could say...
...that in the eyes of these truly terrifying Forbidden Land Life, any existence that had not reached the Undying Immortal stage was an ant, and all of them were simply provisions for their own path to Enlightenment. A blood sacrifice of the masses carried no psychological burden for them; it was the most normal thing in the world.
It was like an ordinary person eating a bowl of rice—it was impossible for them to feel any psychological burden.
"Profound Yellow Dao!"
BOOM!
At that moment.
Fairy Purple Mist had recovered from some of her injuries. She took a deep breath and, with a thought, once again mobilized the power of the Xuanhuang Guardian City, sending it to strike down the three Forbidden Immortal Lives.
RUMBLE!!!
A deafening roar echoed in all directions.
"Heh heh."
"How utterly absurd."
"A mere Pseudo-Immortal."
The three Forbidden Immortal Lives sneered without end. They performed a hand seal, and once again, countless Dark Sacrificial Texts surged forth, evolving into infinite Talismans.
"*Cough, cough...*"
Fairy Purple Mist coughed up blood again. Her injuries were now even more severe.
’I’ve miscalculated.’
Chen Wangu’s expression was grave. With a thought, countless azure Sword Lights tore through heaven and earth, fighting back against the Dark Sacrificial Dao Array of the three Forbidden Immortal Lives.
Meanwhile.
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch was also launching one attack after another.
Unfortunately.
They could not break the Dark Sacrificial Dao Array.
"Sect Leader Chen."
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch shouted, "Thinking about these things now is meaningless! Our only choice is to fight with all our might and find a way to crush their Dark Sacrificial Dao Array. That’s our only hope of turning the tables."
"Otherwise."
"If we are defeated, the entire Profound Yellow Realm will fall with us."
"Mm."
Chen Wangu nodded. "Kunlun Daoist Monarch, you’re right. Now is certainly not the time for regrets. Only by giving this fight our all do we have a chance to turn the tables."
"Kill!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With a furious roar, Chen Wangu erupted with his full power once more. Sword Qi tore the sky asunder amidst countless explosions, as the power of his Immortal Will manifested the Sword Dao.
However.
Time passed.
The battle grew fiercer, but Chen Wangu and the Kunlun Daoist Monarch remained trapped deep within the Dark Sacrificial Dao Array. They had deployed every technique and exhausted every possible method, yet they still could not break through it.
"*Cough, cough...*"
Moreover.
Chen Wangu and the Kunlun Daoist Monarch had also sustained serious injuries. Fairy Purple Mist’s condition was even worse, and countless cracks had appeared on the Xuanhuang Guardian City.
If this continued.
The Xuanhuang Guardian City was bound to fall...
"This..."
Xu Qing’s expression was incredibly grim. Though he couldn’t make out the specifics of the battle, he could tell from the state of the Xuanhuang Guardian City that the situation was extremely severe.
In fact.
It wasn’t just Xu Qing.
The Masters of the Holy Land from the various Sacred Lands, along with the current Emperor of the Central Tang Dynasty, also had incredibly grim expressions, their faces dark and somber.
Unfortunately.
Their power was insufficient, preventing them from participating in such a battle. Like Xu Qing, they could only stand outside the battlefield and observe, simply waiting to see the result of the fight.
Powerlessness.
Only a profound sense of powerlessness.
This was the sorrow of the weak—they were unable to resist, unable to be the masters of their own fate. They could only passively endure and accept everything. No matter the result, they lacked the power to change it, and they lacked the strength to make things happen and end according to their own will.
’I’m still too weak.’
Xu Qing clenched his fists and shook his head, his expression grave as he said, "Even now that I’ve entered the Seventh Realm, I’m completely unable to take part in a battle like this."
"I’m afraid..."
"...I would have to enter the Eighth Realm, and reach the very extreme of the Eighth Realm at that, just to be qualified to participate in a battle like this. And even then, it would only be a slight qualification. Only by truly stepping into the Immortal realm would I have the power to contend with these existences face-to-face."
Xu Qing took a deep breath. "I’m still too weak!!!"
Power!
Xu Qing desperately craved more power!
"Stop!!!"
RUMBLE!!
Just then.
The situation on the battlefield changed once again. A furious roar came from the Chaos and descended upon them. The utterly terrifying and majestic Profound Yellow Dao descended, suppressing the entire battlefield.
"That’s..."
"The Profound Yellow Elder! It’s the Profound Yellow Elder!"
"This... This..."
Among those present.
The Masters of the Holy Land and the various experts who had reached the Eighth Realm all stared with wide eyes. They saw the indistinct figure clearly and had already recognized him.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang!"
Chen Wangu was stunned, but his expression quickly turned to one of ecstatic joy. "You... You succeeded?!"
"Senior Brother!"
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch was also incredibly shocked and overjoyed. "You... You really succeeded!?"
"Indeed."
BOOM!
The Profound Yellow Elder struck. He waved his right hand, and the Profound Yellow Treasure Tower appeared in his grasp. The tower, with its one hundred twenty-nine thousand, six hundred levels, charged into the Dark Sacrificial Dao Array, joining forces with Chen Wangu and the Kunlun Daoist Monarch.
CRACK! CRACK!
With the three of them joining forces, the Dark Sacrificial Dao Array finally began to fail. Countless cracks spread across it, on the verge of being shattered by Chen Wangu and his allies.
’This is bad.’
’The Profound Yellow Elder actually survived this Chaos Great Tribulation.’
’When an Immortal being overcomes a great tribulation, their Cultivation and power increase.’
’Retreat, quickly!’
Without hesitation.
The three Forbidden Immortal Lives exchanged a glance. Without the slightest hesitation, they turned and fled, not lingering for even a moment longer, and ran incredibly fast.
