Chapter 989: The Missing Quasi-Immortals!

The immortal corpse attacked ferociously. With every raise of her hand, massive palm prints slammed down. They were endless, as if intent on destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

The quasi-immortal defensive formation shook violently. If not for the eight supreme defensive Extreme Dao Weapons inside it, their auras linked together and supporting the formation as one, it would have already exploded. Even so, the formation's tremors grew increasingly intense.

Yan Ruyu had spent a long time clearing the death qi from her body. Her expression now looked extremely grim. She had always believed her own strength was far from weak. Ever since she had grown her eighth tail feather, her talent should have been second only to the Heavenly Emperor's heir and the Eight-Crowned King.

She could fight quasi-immortals. Yet the first enemy she encountered now far surpassed the limits of the quasi-immortal realm. There was simply no way to contend against it.

Facing such an opponent, Yan Ruyu did not think she could hold the other party back for even an instant. This quasi-immortal formation would most likely not last until the Heavenly Emperor's heir arrived. Even if he did arrive, Yan Ruyu was not optimistic.

After all, this was an immortal corpse resurrecting. It was connected to a True Immortal. Even if it was only a corpse and no longer at its former peak, its combat power would still be unimaginable. If the Heavenly Emperor's heir fought it, the battle would likely be extremely difficult, with the outcome uncertain.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu let out a soft sigh. She looked up at the black palm prints continuously bombarding the formation and said, "Fellow Daoist Su, do you have any other methods?

"Once the formation breaks later, I will reveal my true form and do my best to hold the opponent back for a moment… If you have any other way, escape as quickly as possible! If you can survive, the karma I owe the Heavenly Emperor's heir can be considered repaid."

Su Yuxuan's lips curved into a smile. "Fairy Yan, there's no need to harbor thoughts of death! This formation can still hold for a few more days. After that, we'll simply switch to a new one."

With that, she took out another array disk. It was another quasi-immortal defensive array disk. Along with it came several more supreme Extreme Dao Weapons.

Yan Ruyu's eyes widened… Quasi-immortal formations being treated like cabbages was one thing. Where did the Heavenly Emperor's heir get so many supreme Extreme Dao Weapons?

The number of supreme Extreme Dao Weapons on Su Yuxuan alone exceeded all that Yan Ruyu had seen in her entire life.

At this moment, genuine envy welled up in Yan Ruyu's heart. Su Yuxuan's aptitude could only be described as average, yet because she was Ye Chen's Dao companion, she possessed so many means. Even the Holy Sons and Divine Sons of immortal ancient families and top great sects could not compare. It was simply outrageous.

Yan Ruyu could not help but wonder. If she had not rejected the Heavenly Emperor's heir back then… Would she also have all kinds of protective treasures now? Perhaps she would have even gathered all nine-colored tail feathers and faced this immortal corpse without fear?

Yan Ruyu said nothing more. She simply closed her eyes with a complicated expression. The immortal corpse also noticed the scene. A trace of surprise flashed in her indifferent eyes. But immediately afterward, killing intent surged violently.

"Mere humans actually possess so many supreme treasures! How truly ridiculous… When my Asura Clan was at its peak, humans were like pigs and dogs, all raised in blood pools as raw materials. How dare you control this world! When I emerge, I will slaughter the human race three times over, wipe out all your geniuses, break your bones and flesh, and completely exterminate your kind."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu immediately raised her brows.

Asura Clan? The other party was occupying a Heavenly Human Clan corpse, yet claimed to be from the Asura Clan?

The Asura Clan had also been a powerful race in ancient times, not much weaker than the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan. But this clan harbored the greatest malice toward the human race and had committed the most heinous massacres.

Back when the Heavenly Emperor had not yet grown strong, he had been captured by the Asura Clan to cultivate a blood pool and was about to be bled as nourishment. Their enmity ran as deep as the sea.

Like the Heavenly Human Clan, they had been exterminated by the Heavenly Emperor in his later years. Even now, not a trace of the Asura Clan could be found in the Northern Domain.

While Yan Ruyu was still pondering, the immortal corpse let out a cold laugh. Her hoarse voice rang out again, "A mere quasi-immortal formation and a few supreme Extreme Dao Weapons. In my prime, they could not even withstand a single breath from me. Do you really think they can stop me now?"

The immortal corpse raised her hand and formed a seal. The entire Land of Fallen Immortals instantly shook. From every corner of the Land of Fallen Immortals, buried immortal corpses flew out, drawn toward her. Nine immortal corpses in total. Even though they were dead, they still emanated terrifying auras.

Yan Ruyu recognized several of them by their appearance, and her face changed drastically. Most of these immortal corpses had fallen during the Heavenly Emperor's era. Several of them had once been renowned throughout the world, so fearsome that merely mentioning their names could shake the entire cultivation world. She had never expected them all to have been collected by this being.

However, these immortal corpses only contained thick death qi. There was not the slightest trace of new life power. The Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse raised her hand, stirring yin and yang, then slammed down fiercely. All the immortal corpses shattered at once. Their immortal blood and flesh transformed into blood-colored rainbow light, which the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse collected with a wave of her hand.

A smile appeared on the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse's face. "Although they were all useless trash, slain by mere humans… Using immortal corpses as materials to re-cultivate the Blood Sea Immortal Scripture is still a first for me. Once I complete the re-cultivation of the Blood Sea Immortal Scripture and condense the blood lotus… Hehehe…"

The Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse stopped speaking. She simply raised her hand lightly. Then she sat down cross-legged and began refining the blood-colored rainbow light.

Yan Ruyu clearly saw that on the six wings behind her, the left wings remained pure white. But the right wings had begun to be tainted. Blood light surged across them, gradually staining them drop by drop.

This made Yan Ruyu's expression grow even graver. The Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse was already terrifyingly powerful. And she was still growing stronger.

In the next moment, several more figures flew over and directly entered the grand formation. They began bombarding the quasi-immortal formation.

Yan Ruyu's eyes widened in shock as she watched. Eleven figures had arrived—all quasi-immortals. Their cultivations varied, but they were undoubtedly genuine quasi-immortals.

What shocked Yan Ruyu the most was one elderly figure among them. She knew him well. He was the previous ancestor of her Peacock Clan. His lifespan had been running out, so he had entered the Land of Fallen Immortals in search of opportunity.

After all, immortal roots had vanished from the current cultivation world. The ancestor had guessed there might be some in the Land of Fallen Immortals and had come here. He had never returned. The clan had all assumed he had already fallen. No one had expected him to still be alive. However, his eyes were not clear. He had obviously been controlled by the immortal corpse.

On the other side, Su Yuxuan also looked surprised as she stared at one of the old men. Su Yuxuan had seen his portrait in the Nether God Holy Land. He was a Supreme Elder from a certain generation of the clan, whose achievements had helped the Nether God Holy Land prosper greatly!

Unfortunately, he had been born in the wrong era and missed the Immortal Path. Unable to wait for the next life, he had come to the Land of Fallen Immortals seeking opportunity. He too had never returned.

The two women continued watching, growing more and more shocked.

Many quasi-immortals who had once been renowned in the cultivation world but had since disappeared were all here. Among them was even an old woman wearing a yin-yang fish Daoist robe, clearly from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.

There was also a woman who was not tall, with a youthful and innocent appearance that carried a trace of childishness, yet possessed a natural seductive charm. She stood out conspicuously among the group of old men and women. She was clearly from the Heavenly Desire Sect.

The eleven quasi-immortals attacked together with overwhelming momentum. Although their assault was not as terrifying as the immortal corpse's own strikes, it still caused the quasi-immortal formation's consumption to accelerate rapidly…

Chapter 990: Erasing the Forbidden Land!

All the quasi-immortals present had once been famous, but after entering the Land of Fallen Immortals, they had vanished without a trace. Their current state was clearly wrong. Their divine wills had been suppressed, turning them into puppets. They attacked the quasi-immortal formation with earth-shaking force, causing the ground to tremble and mountains to sway. With this scale of power, they could have gone to attack a Holy Land.

Half a day later.

Half of the six wings behind the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse had turned blood-red. Every feather, from base to tip, was dyed crimson, brimming with thick bloodfiend qi. The other half remained pure white, carrying a holy aura.

This made the immortal corpse's aura even more unfathomable and terrifying. Amid the endless rumbling, the corners of the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse's mouth lifted. She raised both arms and laughed loudly, "I have been an immortal remnant thought for a million years. Only the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse gave birth to new life qi, but its origin conflicted with mine, so I was somewhat unwilling.

"Who would have thought there would be another great fortune! This surpasses my past self. Once I return to the True Immortal realm, even the Moral Immortal Venerable can be killed by me! Hehehe…"

As the immortal corpse's dry, hoarse laughter rang out, a special blood lotus appeared above her head. Six petals were pure white, six were blood-red. The two colors constantly flowed and transformed, appearing exceptionally profound. It carried a faint power capable of destroying everything.

The Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse raised her hand lightly, and the puppet quasi-immortals retreated. The blood lotus above her head shot forward with a boom. The moment it touched the immortal formation, it exploded violently.

Everything in the world seemed to lose its voice. Countless voids collapsed at this moment. The quasi-immortal formation itself, along with the eight supreme Extreme Dao Weapons inside it, had no power to resist. Cracks spread across it instantly before it shattered with a deafening explosion.

Su Yuxuan's face turned pale, but her hands moved extremely fast. She immediately threw down another quasi-immortal formation she had prepared in advance.

At the same time, she took out eight more supreme Extreme Dao Weapons. Only then did she barely manage to protect herself from the rampaging fiendish qi.

The corners of the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse's mouth curved up. She was clearly very satisfied with the power of the twelve-petaled blood lotus. She paid no attention to Su Yuxuan's actions.

The immortal corpse simply sneered as she looked toward the sky. "Eight-Crowned King, a mere human actually dared to spy on my secrets back then, and even relied on the World Tree to come and go as he pleased. After I refine these two into bloodfiend, I will go and kill you! A treasure like the World Tree is not something a mere quasi-immortal like you is qualified to possess."

At this moment, the immortal corpse fully displayed her invincible aura. She had once been a True Immortal. Even though she was only an immortal remnant thought that had evolved, she had still stood high above all others.

Not to mention that now, after resurrecting from death and condensing bloodfiend through the immortal corpse, she far surpassed her former self. She could even try to see whether she could kill a True Immortal. With this level of combat power, she was the most invincible existence in the current world. There was no one else.

Inside the quasi-immortal formation, both Su Yuxuan and Yan Ruyu finally showed genuine panic. The opponent was simply too terrifying. Without the protection of the quasi-immortal formation, the two of them would undoubtedly die.

Su Yuxuan's small face looked somewhat regretful. "If I had known this would happen, I should have gone to find Senior Brother last time… Without my little feet, Senior Brother definitely won't be able to find happiness anymore…"

In her mind, Manjusaka felt especially guilty. "This is all my fault. It was Master who harmed you!"

Su Yuxuan looked at the twelve-petaled blood lotus condensing above and gently shook her head to comfort her. "Master has helped me a lot too. Without Master, I wouldn't have been able to reach today…"

However, perhaps because death was approaching, her words were kind.

Manjusaka sighed. "Sometimes I think, if I hadn't taken you away from Ye Chen back then, with the resources he provided you, you could have gone even further… In truth, I was the one who delayed you!"

Su Yuxuan smiled and nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, that's true!"

Manjusaka: "…"

But Su Yuxuan did not regret it. If she had stayed with Senior Brother every day, he would probably have grown tired of her little feet long ago. Only by keeping some distance and meeting occasionally could she remain fresh and interesting in Senior Brother's heart. If she died, then so be it. Without Senior Brother, she would have died at the hands of the Sect Master long ago. Everything after that had been extra time she had earned.

Compared to Su Yuxuan's calm acceptance, Yan Ruyu's heart was filled with mixed emotions. A trace of regret had emerged in her heart. If she had accepted Ye Chen back then instead of pushing him away… Would the outcome have been different?

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

…

While the two women were lost in their emotions, the blood lotus above the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse had finished condensing. It was about to drift forward in the next moment. But at that instant, the immortal corpse suddenly raised her head and looked in a certain direction.

"Who is this person? His aura is no weaker than the Eight-Crowned King back when he held the World Tree. Another human. The human race is truly rising!

"However, what does momentum matter when the world itself is decaying! Later, I will break all laws with a single force, slaughter the entire human race, and return this realm to its proper order."

The immortal corpse was extremely confident. She did not stop her actions, intending to deal with the two women first, refine them into bloodfiends, and then kill the newcomer. But the moment she lowered her head, her expression changed drastically.

An indescribably terrifying aura descended from the sky and smashed down with a boom.

The grand formation that had been enclosing this area could not withstand even a fraction of the force and exploded instantly. Endless golden light burst forth from the point of explosion. It was overwhelmingly domineering, yet it seemed to purify the world at the same time.

A trace of shock flashed through the immortal corpse's eyes. As the master of the Land of Fallen Immortals, she naturally knew everything that happened here. Not only had the protective formation been destroyed. A full quarter of the Land of Fallen Immortals had been directly erased by that single strike. Most importantly, the opponent was only one person, and he had thrown only one punch.

Killing intent surged in the immortal corpse's eyes. Why did the human race keep producing so many monsters?

One monstrous genius after another had emerged, making the human race stronger and stronger. In the end, no single race among the myriad races could contend with the human race alone. And after she had died at the hands of the Moral Immortal Venerable, the world had undergone even greater changes with the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor. He had directly driven the myriad races out of the Central Continent, forcing them to huddle in the Northern Domain.

A group of beings who had once been no better than slaves had become the masters of this world. This was something she found extremely difficult to accept. She stared fixedly at the sky.

When the endless golden light dissipated, a tall and straight figure wearing a yin-yang fish robe, with black hair dancing wildly, slowly descended…

The immortal corpse's pupils shrank once again.

The opponent's realm was only at the peak of the Great Emperor? How was that possible?

Inside the quasi-immortal formation, Su Yuxuan and Yan Ruyu, who had already resigned themselves to death, were shaken to the core by the earlier commotion and a spark of hope reignited in their hearts.

When Ye Chen slowly descended amid the countless rays of golden light, Su Yuxuan's small feet could not help but tense up. Her eyes filled with joy and curved into crescents. "Senior Brother…"

And Yan Ruyu, in the depths of despair, looked at Ye Chen descending like a heavenly god. She felt as if something had struck her hard, deep inside her heart…
