“I can’t retreat. If I do, who will protect the villagers of Peach Village? Who will protect my Masters?” Gu Xianer shook her head. She remained calm as she spoke and she sent out another burst of Sword Qi to stop the incoming army.
“Why are you so silly? Even if you stay here, you can’t stop them. You’re such a fool. With your talent, you can find a place to hone your cultivation for a few centuries. Then, you’ll easily be able to defeat these beings.” The big red bird was panicking. It thought Gu Xianer was stubborn in all the wrong ways.
At a time like this, instead of thinking about fleeing with her life, she wanted to stay and put up a fight.
If any of the Immortal Emperors noticed what was happening over here and found a moment to spare, how would she resist?
The things that Gu Changge gave her to protect her life had all been used up at the Heavenly Tomb. Gu Xianer had nothing left that could save her in a moment of crisis.
Previously, she had her Masters and Tao Yao to protect her, but now, if she got caught in a perilous situation, with death being her only outcome.
“I know what you’re telling me, but I have to do what I can. I can’t stand by and watch while these people die. Plus, I was once one of the only Dao Realm cultivators of Mountains and Oceans True World. The Fortuity of this True World has aided my growth. It is from where I am from, and where my heart will always be. I am indebted to it…” Gu Xianer’s expression was calm as she responded even as she fought against her opponents.
What the big red bird said was nothing new to her. If she fled at a time like this, she would be going against her Dao Heart.
That was unlike her. She would not make such a choice.
The moment Gu Xianer finished speaking, she vaguely sensed some kind of energy blooming within her.
Her Soul was glowing as the essence of the Incarnation of Heaven she previously absorbed began turning into a mighty power.
“Your Soul is transforming. You now partially have the aura of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Even though there’s only a sliver, it is still an opportunity…”
The big red bird was thunderstruck.
It had to be said that Gu Xianer was indeed one born in response to calamity. In a battle like this, her Soul unearthed the chance to transform. If successful, she could become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and her power would increase manifold.
*Crack!* Just then, the icy sword glow from a different direction came piercing through the universe to slice through it.
The other two opponents were attacking furiously. They could not believe that a young girl like her had managed to keep them occupied, and that they had failed to kill her.
They possessed strength parallel to Immortal Kings. Even in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, they were powerful supreme experts who ruled over numerous worlds.
The young woman before them was obviously very young, but she was not any weaker than them.
“Join forces with me to take her down. We can’t let her succeed in her breakthrough. Otherwise, we won’t be able to defeat her.” One of them scoffed. He noticed the change in Gu Xianer, so he mercilessly spoke up.
Gu Xianer raised her hand. The shockwaves of her Dao Ability rippled and formed an invincible shield that dazzled as it blocked the attack.
The fight between Immortal Kings was a terrifying one.
*Boom!* There was a major explosion. It felt like countless stars had exploded. The blinding light made it hard for beings to open their eyes. It was enough to make World Principles crumble.
Gu Xianer’s silhouette shook. She retreated tens of thousands of kilometres before she finally regained her balance.
She wielded her sword. A shower of Sword Qi rained down from the sky and shook the River of Time.
Once again, Gu Xianer engaged them in the battle. Sword Qi and bright lights streaked across the tattered universe.
Principles shattered and dissolved in an instant. At a time like this, even other Immortal Kings would be in danger if they approached.
The aura of destruction continued to billow out and destroy everything. The void was in shambles. Large rifts had formed everywhere, and the Astral Wind that blew was cold enough to shatter one’s Soul.
The two Immortal Kings from the Immortal Spirit Civilisation attacked in full force.
One wielded a black sword that emitted light strong enough to break the universe. The endlessly dazzling light was cold and icy as it pierced through the sky in an attempt to destroy everything in its path. The other was just as powerful. With a wave of his hand, all kinds of horrifying techniques whizzed through the sky to destroy space and time.
Naturally, all deadly attack was targeted at Gu Xianer.
The formidable might of Immortal Kings came crashing down. It instantly drowned their battleground and made the void explode. They attacked once more with a strange energy that seemed to come from the River of Time. It seemed to release the indomitable will and murderous intent that shook the entire universe!
The two Immortal Kings had known each other for many years. They frequently discussed strategies and techniques with each other. Now that they had combined forces, they could even go up against three Immortal Kings.
Gu Xianer frowned. She was in a risky situation.
She swiftly moved back. In a blink of an eye, she was millions of kilometres away.
However, the attacks from her two opponents followed her as if she was their only target. All Star Territories that they passed through immediately fell apart. The universe threatened to implode, unable to bear the shockwaves.
“I told you not to push beyond your limits! If something happens to you now, Gu Changge will wipe out my Soul.” The big red bird could not help but exclaim as its eyes was filled with terror.
Gu Xianer could not pay any attention to it. She unleashed glittering Grand Runes the size of stars to try and resist the attacks from her two opponents.
However, both these Immortal Kings were far stronger than the ones she previously went up against. She felt like they were on the verge of becoming Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
Now that they had combined forces, other Immortal Kings who go up against them would be reduced to dust.
If Gu Xianer had not been more powerful than the average Immortal King, she would have gotten injured a long time ago.
Back in the Heavenly Tomb, she gained numerous Artifacts. She threw them out now, but most of them were broken and fragmented. Pagodas and cauldrons turned into divine light that shot at her two opponents.
*Boom!*
The universe shuddered as the black sword light streaked out. The Artifacts trembled before exploding into dust.
“Where do you think you can run off to?” One of the Immortal Kings who had attacked wore a callous expression. Stars seemed to circle in his eyes which seemed capable of annihilating everything.
They were not going to let Gu Xianer successfully breakthrough. Thus, they unleashed their most powerful attacks and used their Immortal King Artifacts.
Gu Xianer coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her blood-stained dress looked even redder now.
She continued to retreat. Time and space blurred as she dodged the Immortal Kings’ deadly attack.
In the other battlefields, many noticed what was happening and looked concerned. Still, they could not lend Gu Xianer a hand. They were fighting their hardest to stay alive as well.
Furthermore, Gu Xianer’s fight was small in comparison to the rest of the battlefield.
The Prosperous Dao True World was not as powerful as the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. The difference in the number of experts they had was too stark. There was already a clear divide.
The Immortal Spirit Civilisation could send out two or three similarly powerful people to deal with one from the Prosperous Dao True World.
At a time like this, even a prodigy would exhaust all their strength as they had to go up against multiple opponents.
On the other side, another alarming battle was happening. The clash between Dao Realm experts was not something the Immortal Realm beings could observe.
Time and space broke down into fragments. All they could see was a hazy hand reaching out and slamming down. Even the River of Time had dried up. Countless Dao Fragments flew across the crumbling universe.
“Lady Xianer…” Ming, who was battling his opponent, frowned once he noticed Gu Xianer’s situation.
“Concerned about others when you’re up against me? You should be concerned about your own life first!” His opponent had the silhouette of something alien. He did not reveal his true body, and there was a taunting smirk on his flat features.
They were outside the True World. Without any Principles to limit them, the shockwaves from their fight could even produce the power to create and destroy worlds.
As they fought, they could see scenes of the worlds and universes shattering.
Such means could no longer be described as Dao Abilities or divine techniques. These attacks contained unfathomable power that could create and destroy words.
Ming sighed. Even though Gu Xianer was in danger, he could not spare any attention on her. With his opponent keeping him occupied, he could not offer his help.
“Stop pushing yourself, Xianer. It’s important to know when to stop to save yourself.” The big red bird kept flapping its wings. As the Artifact Spirit of Gu Xianer’s old weapon, it did not have any power right now and could not help her.
The renewed attacks from the two Immortal Kings made it extremely worried and frantic.
Gu Xianer ignored it. She tried to consolidate that trace of Quasi-Immortal Emperor aura as she dodged the enemy’s attacks.
The universe shook as it swiftly collapsed from the attacks of the Immortal Kings.
“I get it now. Are you risking your life to force Gu Changge out?” All of a sudden, the big red bird thought of something and exclaimed.
Gu Xianer was just about to wield her Dao Sword, and she nearly stumbled when she heard what it said.
She could no longer stand the big red bird’s incessant chatter. Tempted to throw it off, she balled her fists. “Shut up!”
“I am perfectly capable of dealing with these two. I don’t need him to save me. But, you just reminded me…” Gu Xianer growled at the big red bird before mumbling to herself.
Even in this precarious situation, she did not feel truly worried.
“A shadowless world…” At the very next moment, she took a deep breath. Her gaze was calm as a drop of glistening blood emerged from her brows and dropped onto her Dao Sword.
A terrifying light pierced through the sky and threatened to rip it apart.
Without hesitating, she slashed with her Dao Sword. The attack reverberated as if it would overturn everything.
A phantom manifestation of a sword floated beside her. It was not an illusion. It was made out of powerful Sword Principles.
In an instant, countless swords flew through the universe. Some were red as blood while others were like the golden sunset. Some were as blue as the sea, as bright as the Sun, or as cold as the Moon… Countless manifested swords fell like a long rainbow of doom that stretched across the universe.
“Why did she suddenly get so much stronger?”
The two Immortal Kings who were hunting her down reacted. Their expressions changed. They did not expect her to be capable of this.
The battle rippled across every part of the Prosperous Dao True World. It seemed like not a single Force could avoid the slaughter.
Meanwhile, back at the base of the Heavenslayers Alliance, ‘Wang Wushang’ was sitting above an island swarming with light and Celestial Energy.
The dazzling light of past Quasi-Immortal Emperors emerged in his Knowledge Sea. He seemed to be undergoing some kind of shocking change. Even the brutal battle beyond could not affect him at all.
“In this battle, the more deaths, the better. When the time comes, I’ll clean the mess up. I can use the power of the fallen Souls to create an opportunity for my Deep Control Clan… to start possessing the Prosperous Dao True World.”
‘Wang Wushang’, or rather, Ni Chen, looked out at the sky without showing any sign of glee nor despair. He did not partake in the battle.
Not only that, but there were also numerous auras of Immortal Kings hidden on this island.
Countless Quasi-Immortal Emperors were standing guard here. Even if the army of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation came charging over, the guards could easily hold them back.
As the Chosen One of the Heavenslayers Alliance, Ni Chen had gotten many Forces on his side, including experts more powerful than Immortal Kings.
Unfortunately, he had not reached the Dao Realm yet.
Still, the battle between the Immortal Spirit Civilisation and The Prosperous Dao True World seemed like the perfect opportunity for Ni Chen.
The Heavenly Secrets were now in all chaos. All of the experts were fighting against the enemy. Even Gu Wuwang and the others could not pay any attention to him, so how would they notice what he was doing?
He now possessed the power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. As long as he possessed this True World, he would be as powerful as a Dao Realm expert. Once that happened, he would be the equivalent of the Prosperous Dao True World’s True Spirit. The power he could unleash would be even stronger.
After this battle, both the Prosperous Dao True World and the forces from the Immortal Spirit Civilisation would not be at their peaks.
By using the special talent of the Deep Control Clan, Ni Chen could seize this chance to possess and refine those Dao Realm experts.
As long as he succeeded with just one of them, his strength would snowball.
[When the time comes, I’ll be invincible!] Ni Chen’s gaze was filled with greed and ambition.
His Soul scattered like mist and shrouded millions of kilometres around him. Under the cover of the ongoing chaos, it began to expand even further. What he had put in place throughout the years was finally proving useful.
