Immortal of the Ages

BOOM! Almost 200 powerhouses in the Heaven Sanctuary Realm launched their attacks almost in unison! Some wielded Life Sigil magic treasures, others unleashed blood arts, while a group of demons morphed into their true forms, charging forth with their demon magic and physical might...

For the average person, witnessing any one of these beings in action would be a stroke of immense luck in a lifetime.

The uproar began in the Immortal Asylum, even overshadowing the tremors caused by the Nian.

But just as the battle began, an earth-shattering surprise erupted, halting the grand assault of the six hell realms in its tracks!

That was whenfifty-some powerhouses, including the Yin Devils and the land demons, led by the Netherworld Emperor and Phoenix Empress, didn't hesitate for a second before turning their blades towards the Yang Devils and the resentment demons!

The situation exploded at the slightest touch!

This sudden turn of events drastically changed the initial slaughter.

Truth be told, many had anticipated the Yin Devils' betrayal, but no one expected them to clash with the Yang Devils right from the get-go, with such resolve!

The decisive betrayal by the land demons led by the Phoenix Empress was even more unexpected!

Everyone thought that the Sword Cultivators and the land demons shared a deep-seated enmity. How could these land demons so resolutely fight for their sworn enemies?

"Phoenix Empress?!" The Talisman Emperor and the Wick Devil, charging forward, were met with this infuriating scene.

The Phoenix Empress paid them no heed, transforming into a blazing Azure Phoenix and thundering into the fray. Wherever she passed, the deep-sea resentment demons were instantly incinerated!

The destructive power of a demon in the Genesis Spirit Realm shook the entire battlefield.

"This wretched beast must die!" The Wick Devil knew he had to intervene, or no one could stop the Phoenix Empress. He shouted to the Talisman Emperor, "Yun Xiao is yours!"

After saying this, he shot through the battlefield like a comet, his Dragon Wick Seal targeting the Phoenix Empress.

"Leaving it to me?" The Talisman Emperor frowned deeply.

In that moment, he spun around, only to face a barefoot girl with pale skin standing before him!

Clutching the corpses of two Inscription Cultivators, her arms opened wide like a gaping maw, devouring the two bodies whole!

"Short-sighted fools, not worth the air they breathed." In a whisper light as a feather, Pale Revenant uttered a few words that sent a chill skittering down the Talisman Emperor's spine.

"You turned your back on the Undead Depths, choosing a path of no return. The one deserving death is you!"

With fury, the Talisman Emperor summoned his Sovereign Sigil, intent on bypassing Pale Revenant to eliminate Yun Xiao. But the moment he moved, the girl appeared before him like a ghost, her seemingly delicate arms and small fists smashing towards him with sudden ferocity.

BOOM! A thunderous explosion shattered the Sovereign Sigil, sending shockwaves that hurled the Talisman Emperor several hundred meters back, crashing at the edge of the stage, his vitality in turmoil.

"You've grown stronger? You don't seem much like a demon anymore!" Shocked, the Talisman Emperor looked up to see the pale girl taking a single step, yet again appearing before him. She looked frail, almost sickly, but her brute force was akin to a colossal beast.

How many sharks and whales had she devoured to gain such strength?

Pale Revenant didn't respond, continuing her silent onslaught, deepening the Talisman Emperor's frown.

He and the Wick Devil were both being held at bay!

"To all, focus on slaying Yun Xiao! Whoever claims his head shall be rewarded with the Myriad Sigil Sword!"

The Myriad Sigil Sword, second only to the Calamity Seal Sword within the Calamity Seal Purgatory, was a treasure coveted by many, capable of stirring fervent desires.

BOOM! The battlefield was ablaze with excitement among humans, demons, and devils.

What was meant to be a battle skewed in numbers had turned into a chaotic melee.

Sword Cultivators clashing with Inscription Cultivators, land demons against resentment demons, Yang Devils fighting Yin Devils, sea dragons battling merfolk!

It was no longer a six-on-two fight but a balanced four-on-four skirmish.

However, it was evident that the Talisman Emperor's side had a numerical advantage with around 150 combatants, while Yun Xiao had managed to gather a force nearly two-thirds their size, close to 100 strong.

But what truly stunned the Talisman Emperor and the Wick Devil was the disparity in Genesis Spirit powerhouses. On their side, only the two of them stood as the prime forces.

The resentment demon Wraith Eye had seen a decline in power, counting as only a half-step Genesis Spirit Realm being, while Ao Yuan from the Leviathan Ravine was merely in the Establishment Heaven Sanctuary Realm.

On the contrary, Yun Xiao's side boasted the Phoenix Empress, Pale Revenant, the Sword Warden, Siren Empress, and the Netherworld Emperorfive formidable Genesis Spirit Realm combatants, along with the War Princess, a peerless female devil wreaking havoc.

This advantage in Genesis Spirit Realm powerhouses quickly neutralized the Talisman Emperor's numerical superiority.

BOOM! The clash turned into a fierce battle, far from the one-sided slaughter it was meant to be.

For instance, the Sword Cultivators, outnumbered by a handful, saw the Sword Warden single-handedly holding off a siege from over a dozen fighters in the Heaven Sanctuary Realm.

The Netherworld Emperor and the Siren Empress found themselves in similar straits!

"The Blood Oath Curse has weakened their strength, strike now!"

This dire news echoed across the battlefield, sending shivers down the spines of all Inscription Cultivators, resentment demons, Yang Devils, and sea dragons present.

Losing merely a tenth of one's blood essence might not seem like much, but in the heat of battle, the difference was stark!

Take the Yang Devils, for instance. With their superior numbers, they found themselves unable to overpower the Yin Devils led by the Netherworld Emperor!

Yang Devils, who often mocked the Yin Devils as the weaker kin, were given a rude awakening as these determined and ruthless fighters struck back hard! Especially the Netherworld Emperor! Wherever he went, the ground was soaked with the blood of Yang Devils!

These developments not only soured the expressions of the Talisman Emperor and the Wick Devil but also twisted the faces of the spectators from those four hells.

"Primeval Demon Hell, Endless Netherworld, you wretches!"

Fortunately, it was limited to curses aimed at the land demons and Yin Devils, not daring to start a fight in the spectator stands.

The land demon and Yin Devil spectators in the Fate Ocean Realm were momentarily stunned, especially the land demons, clueless about the Phoenix Empress's intentions...

"Just you wait! Our alliance still outnumbers you. Once this Yun Xiao falls, you're all done for!"

"You four hells will pay a heavy price!"

The frenzied cries filled the Immortal Asylum, as jarring as the clash of forces within the Eight Trigrams formation.

BOOM! Following the Talisman Emperor's declaration, many Yang Devils, Inscription Cultivators, sea dragons, and resentment demons broke away from the fray, converging on Yun Xiao in a bid to capture the king, nearly 20 Heaven Sanctuary Realm forces closing in for the kill.

With Yun Xiao's protectors engaged elsewhere, he was left vulnerable.

"Danger!" Mu Daxiong and others shouted from the sidelines, fraught with tension.

Conversely, the Overseers from the Sword Ruins, initially anxious, saw the tide turn with the land demons' betrayal and were emboldened. They plunged into battle with reckless abandon!

As for Yun Xiao's safety, they left it to fate, seeing that the Wick Devil and the Talisman Emperor, the most formidable threats, were already engaged.

"Yun Xiao, you fiend! Without you, the Nine Hells would have known peace for eons. How many innocents must die because of you?"

A female Yang Devil confronted Yun Xiao, her figure slightly slimmer than the Wick Devil's but no less imposing, her face marred by brutality, with a scorpion-like tail and her body wreathed in flames.

Yun Xiao recognized her; she was the Sun Princess of the Rising Sun Inferno, the Wick Devil's sister, wielding considerable power.

"Sun Princess, let's join forces to eliminate him!" Two veteran Inscription Cultivators appeared on another front, their ages not far off from the Sword Warden, both long-standing figures of the Calamity Seal Purgatory.

One was the Punishment Elder, Fu Gui, and the other was the Inheritance Elder, Fu Shanbrother and uncle to the Talisman Emperor respectively, their status in the Calamity Seal Purgatory rivaling that of the most revered.

Alongside these three, twenty-five Heaven Sanctuary Realm fighters had encircled Yun Xiao, with more rushing towards the fray, unstoppable.

Against the ruthless onslaught of these 28 beings, Yun Xiao's cool demeanor stood out, as if a gentle breeze amidst a storm.

With an elegant poise, despite being surrounded, he strolled leisurely, as if in a realm of his own.

BUZZ! The Heaven Burial Sword Soul was unleashed, transforming into a six-foot Sovereign Sword beneath his feet. He gracefully stepped onto the sword, tip-toeing as it soared swiftly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A barrage of magic treasures, daoist spells, and demon magic targeted him in the first wave, the surrounding world cloaked in savage holy energy.

Following this bombardment were the close-quarters assaults of the demons and devils.

Yun Xiao, without sparing a glance, maneuvered his Sovereign Sword, his figure shifting thousands of times, darting across the battlefield.

Sovereign Sword Technique: Myriad Swords Traversing the Ocean!

This classic technique from the Sword Ruins, originating from the Ancestral Sword Tomb and passed down by the ancient Sword Warden, You Qingtian, involved the sword casting illusions as if myriad swords were roaming the vast seas, embodying freedom and elegance.

Such a pinnacle of swordsmanship made Yun Xiao seem not on the battlefield but rather gliding above the azure skies and vast oceans, reveling in the gentle breezes and bright moonlight.

His effortless grace stunned the Fate Ocean Realm onlookers.

While others were embroiled in life-or-death battles, he seemed to be leisurely vacationing.

However, before anyone could fully grasp the scene, Yun Xiao's eyes suddenly turned deadly serious.

At his brow, the fierce Prison Warden Sigil transformed into a dragon pattern, spreading across his body, turning his aura ferociously dominant, akin to a human dragon.

This was one of the Prison Warden Sigil's formsDao Dragon! fre ewebn ovel

With the Sovereign Sword in motion and the Dao Dragon's power, grace merged with ferocity, his movements nimble yet his strikes fierce.

BUZZ! In an instant, he appeared above the head of the Sun Princess, touching down with a finger. The nine-headed dao dragon on him shimmered, unleashing a crimson blast before her!

"Die!" The Sun Princess roared, surging upwards with a warhammer treasure in hand, aiming straight for Yun Xiao's face.

With a roar, Yun Xiao's blood art transformed, following the warhammer's path straight into the Sun Princess's not-so-delicate body. Just as she was about to sneer in triumph, her expression horrifically shifted.

Suddenly, countless violet dragons erupted on her, igniting into crimson flames!

"Blazing Dragon Blood Boil! How could you possibly..." This was a yin blood art from the Endless Netherworld, notoriously complex. The Yang Devils once stole a fragment of this magic but were clueless about it.

Never in their wildest dreams did the Yang Devils imagine that this Aurum grade blood art could be mastered by someone of later generations, let alone by a human!

Not just the Yang Devils, but even the Yin Devils were dumbstruck, casting bewildered glances towards the War Princess, who shook her head as if saying, "He learned it on his own, I've got nothing to do with this."

The War Princess looked over just in time to see Yun Xiao soaring past on his Sovereign Sword, the Sun Princess screaming as she was incinerated into a blood-fire dragon that exploded mid-air, also hitting other attackers!

"Yun Xiao is formidable!" Those in the thick of battle, who kept an eye on Yun Xiao, were invigorated by his terrifying display.

"Yun Xiao!"

A wave of frenzied roars swept through the Immortal Asylum!

Amidst the madness, Yun Xiao embarked on a solo slaughter spree. After killing the Sun Princess, he ceased using the Sovereign Sword, and the Prison Warden Sigil in his hand transformed into an umbrella!

From that moment, the young man in white wielded an azure sword in one hand and a violet oil-paper umbrella in the other, traversing the battlefield like moving through rain, the umbrella deflecting deadly blows, the sword extinguishing foes.

Azure light shimmered; violet light flowed!

Wherever the young man went, blood rained down, yet beneath the violet umbrella, his divine looks were untouched, his white garments unsullied.

His sword danced like a dragon; the umbrella spun like a dream!

"Damn, that's cool..." The War Princess' eyes reddened with envy. She couldn't fathom how someone could turn a deadly battle into such a spectacle.

While others fought fiercely for their lives, Yun Xiao seemed to be on a leisurely stroll, faces grim with ferocity while he bore a light smile, his sword piercing throats with ease.

Azure Sky Bloom! Azure Sea Fall!

With a final flourish, his Flying Sword pierced through the heart of the Punishment Elder, Fu Gui, and with a sweep of his Palm Sword, he decapitated the Inheritance Elder, Fu Shan.

Passing by with his umbrella, Yun Xiao left only broken bodies and spilled blood in his wake, yet he himself seemed radiant, like a white lotus blooming atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

He looked over the battlefield, his voice calm, "I'm not satisfied yet. Who's next?"
