Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 694: Heaven and Divine Penglai!

In the dead of night, with a single spark, chaos erupted.

In that instant, the ordinary troops of the Great Dao Celestial Army held their breath, motionless. But those Rank 3 or higher, along with others who had reached the Anima Tribulation Realm, demons, devils, and Immortals alike, quickly mobilized.

Over 1,000 strong and led by the Penglai Sage and Great Horned King, they launched a ferocious assault on the girl in the white dress.

These beings, the weakest of whom wielded a formidable power comparable to that of General Cao, formed a peak force. Though they were fewer in number than the various Heavenly Officers of the Celestial Court, they stood their ground, rivaling them in strength.

In terms of influence, whether it was the Celestial Court or Chaos Sovereign, they indeed far surpassed Yun Xiao and Divine Dawn...

Of these over 1,000 demons, devils, and Immortals, there were more than 30 on par with a Rank 2 Supreme General. The pressure brought on by these top powerhouses was already 30 times greater than during their last assault on Yun XIao in the Thunder Department.

As for the Penglai Sage and Great Horned King, their prowess was on par with Rank 1 Sovereigns!

While Lu Fan was still beneath the Primordial Pagoda and had not yet joined the fray, this fierce onslaught by the 1,000 demons, devils, and Immortals clearly indicated that they all viewed Divine Dawn as a prize, vying to earn a grand merit for the new Emperor of the Celestial Court!

Sky Soaring City was not Lu Fan's target; it was Divine Dawn and Yun Xiao who mattered.

In such a situation, after Divine Dawn came to the rescue of Sky Soaring City, the hearts of these mighty demons, devils, and Immortals were not only undisturbed but plunged into a state of excitement and exhilaration.

"Annihilate!"

The Great Dao Celestial Army, Free Immortals, Great Horned Immortals, and celestial demons sealed off the heavens and the earth around them, locking down the space where Divine Dawn was. Countless celestial weapons, Sword Souls, and Life Sigils, along with the fortress-like physiques of the Great Horned Immortals and demons, bore down on the girl atop the Primordial Pagoda!

A destructive divine radiance in an instant lit up the heavens.

Among them, the Penglai Sage and Great Horned King were the swiftest!

The two flanked Divine Dawn from left and right.

As the Great Horned King charged forward, his body, tougher than any demon's, clashed against the void, sparking dazzling sparks. His claws extended, and atop his head, his golden and silver horns grew longer and spun, like twirling cudgels.

CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! Simultaneously, a suit of battle armor appeared on him, covering his entire body and divided into five sections—the torso shining with golden light, the left arm surged with blazing fire, the right arm crackled with thunder, the left leg as solid as a mountain, and the right leg as profound as the sea.

The Great Horned King, clad in his celestial armor, which showcased five distinct powers, bore a striking resemblance to the Five Infernos Star Barrier. Wearing this armor, he was undeniably more savage and ferocious, like a colossal beast standing upright, his entire body a weapon.

Those familiar with the Great Horned King knew well that this armor was the most precious gift from the Greatest War God of the Celestial Court—the Five Infernos Battle Regalia!

Every single piece of the armor was Divine Heaven grade. Even if it was Low Divine Heaven grade, it was still a rare treasure coveted by all.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! As the Great Horned King cleaved through the air, half-devils cheered, their intense and admiring gazes fixed on him, believing he could squash Divine Dawn with a single slap.

At the same time, cheers arose from another camp, those of the so-called Free Immortals, their eyes blazing as they watched the Penglai Sage.

"Sword and Sigil, unmatched under heaven!"

High above, an elder hovered on his Sovereign Sword, as ethereal as the moon on a clear night. In his hand, he controlled a Life Sigil, which slowly morphed into a vast mountain, as heavy and expansive as a landmass.

Below him, the deep blue Sovereign Sword surged like a sea of blades, endless and vibrant.

Sword of water, sigil of earth—though merely a Sword Soul and a Life Sigil, they contained the supreme Dao. Above all, the densely packed Sword and Rune Prisons on them were the most awe-inspiring. Around the deep blue sword swirled 66 Sword Prisons, each a vast ocean, boundless and profound.

On the earth-colored Life Sigil, 66 Rune Prisons made the Life Sigil seem like a conglomeration of 66 worlds, its presence in the air imposing a profound pressure on all who beheld it.

A practitioner of both sword and sigil, possessing both 66 Sword and Rune Prisons, was not even a low-ranking Heavenly Officer. Despite facing exclusion, he had reached this pinnacle, becoming a reclusive Free Immortal—this Penglai Sage was indeed extraordinary!

He was almost the second-in-command under Lu Fan!

Now, the Penglai Sage and Great Horned King were the closest to Divine Dawn, their murderous intent focused on the girl in white. Between the Penglai Sage and Great Horned King, there was also a fierce rivalry for glory.

"Fighting alone, proving your path strays from reality, unechoed and pitiable!"

With a cold sneer, the Penglai Sage's Sovereign Sword beneath him transformed into a long sword of the deep sea, snapping into his hand. One hand held the Sword Soul, the other a Life Sigil, his mastery bridging heaven and earth.

Heaven Peng Sword Soul and Divine Lai Life Sigil!

These combined to evoke the divine presence of Penglai, a lineage once rivaled only by the imperial family for dominance over the Celestial Court. This revealed the deep roots of the ancient elder.

"Am I truly alone?" the girl in the white dress asked, her face obscured by a mask, showing only her eyes, narrowed into slits, more fierce than before.

"Yes! You are destined to be forsaken by the world, to become a pitiful phantom, with not a soul willing to die at your side!" the Penglai Sage boomed, his presence as monumental as the mountains and seas, using the earth as his foundation and the oceans as his assault, shaking the very world at the girl in white.

"Who says she has no friends?"

In the blink of an eye, as lightning split the sky, a voice thundered from above, and a figure cloaked in a blend of platinum, dark yellow, and crimson celestial energies plummeted like a sword, landing squarely between the Penglai Sage and Divine Dawn.

BOOM! The forward charge of the Penglai Sage was blocked. And with a thunderous clash, the celestial energies around the figure surged, while the mountain-sea power of the Penglai Sage was repelled. It was as if he'd struck an impenetrable wall, sending him reeling, his vitality in turmoil.

"Hmm?"

With a grunt, the Penglai Sage felt his organs tremble.

His face paled! This blend of energies was utterly foreign to him, prompting him to look up in astonishment.

There, enveloped in a mist of platinum, dark yellow, and crimson, stood a youth still clad in Arbiter armor, unchanged in features from his memory but wholly transformed in aura.

Rooted in humanity, yet flanked by the visages of demons and devils on either side.

The brutality of a demon and the chilling allure of a devil converged on this Creator Immortal's face.

The violent force of the Divine Desolation Physique, the bizarrely bloodthirsty Mortal Dust Devil Blood, combined with the pure essence of the Primordial Void, made for a strange mix that, far from making him appear grotesque, rendered him all the more terrifying.

Originally, he was just cold and stern. But with the added attributes of demon and devil, he became both brutal and aloof, his presence even more fearsome.

"It's him, Yun Xiao!"

"At the Thunder Department, he killed many of our brothers..."

The memory of the incident at the Thunder Department ignited a fiery red in the eyes of many demons, devils, and Immortals behind the Penglai Sage. Today, the two main targets of the Chaos Sovereign had decisively arrived.

With a sigh of relief, Yun Xiao exhaled a murky breath and, with his eyes tinged with crimson and silver, calmly addressed the Penglai Sage, "In the vastness of the universe, for those who share my path, one of me is enough."

After speaking, Yun Xiao turned to look at the girl in the white dress atop the pagoda, offering her a slight smile, "Right, darling?"

His appearance slightly relaxed the intense gaze of Divine Dawn, though her intent to kill was undiminished.

"Talk to me when you've killed more than I have," she retorted coolly, her voice still edged with frost.

It was clear that Lian Xi was still angry, but it was not so certain with the Seventh Princess and Chen Xi.

However, Divine Dawn's demeanor towards Yun Xiao had softened considerably compared to before; her light huff carried a hint of coquetry.

"There's a chance!" Yun Xiao thought, seizing the opportunity he had been waiting for.

His eyes swept over the Primordial Pagoda once more, still shocked by how she had utilized this mortal realm treasure to such an extent.

With Sky Soaring City secure and no more concerns holding him back, Yun Xiao was free to relish the fight.

"What are you waiting for?" The Great Horned King's eyes blazed red as he suddenly roared.

Indeed, Yun Xiao's arrival had paused the murderous intent of the 1,000 plus demons, devils, and Immortals surrounding them. Now, regaining their senses, their desire to kill surged anew.

Without needing further words from the Penglai Sage or Great Horned King, the battle erupted instantaneously.

"Want to compete? If I kill more, you have to stop ignoring me," Yun Xiao proposed, unfazed by the barrage of celestial weapons, Sword Souls, and Life Sigils around him, turning back to look at the girl in white.

"Win first, then talk," Divine Dawn shot him a look, too busy to entertain him further.
