Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Immortal Arts Hall of the East Demon Feather, the scene in the bone cauldron was so special that no one in the outside world could sense it. They could only see that the cauldron was shaking.

The nine-colored fire burned intensely as the refinement continued.

Hence, the immortal masters on the Grand Elder’s side who had the advantage earlier all looked at the First Ruler Mountain’s envoy anxiously.

As for the young master of the Yun family, this luxuriously-dressed youth was also worried about the situation. He knew about the conflict between Xue Chenzi and Yue Dong and understood that the other party’s objection might contain even greater killing intent.

However, no matter what, at least the other party’s words were beneficial to Yue Dong now.

Hence, he could only place his hopes on Xue Chenzi.

The other envoys remained silent as they watched Xu Qing and the old man from the First Ruler Mountain.

These two: one was a rising star recently in the spotlight, while the other was highly esteemed with long-standing credentials.

It was the same for the Tenth and First Rulers behind them.

Hence, the confrontation between these two became the key point that decided everything.

“Young man, this old man admires what you did at the West Demon Feather, but trying to pressure East Demon Feather with this shows a bit too much arrogance.”

Under everyone’s gazes, the old man from the First Ruler Mountain calmly spoke.

However, he sighed inwardly. He didn’t want to make a move either, but he represented the Ruler. It was naturally inappropriate to let the matter rest just like that.

Right now, he was in a dilemma, so he slowly stood up from his seat.

As he stood up, the fluctuations of the perfected Soul Accumulation Realm and the phantoms of great worlds stacked on top of him, forming an overwhelming force that rumbled in all directions.

He took a step forward.

With this step, the Immortal Arts Hall shook. The weather changed and an intense pressure descended.

Xu Qing’s expression didn’t change at all. Although he didn’t have the confidence to defeat Soul Accumulation Nine Worlds, unless the other party was like West Demon Child who had a huge hidden danger.

However, this time around, he didn’t need to win and only needed to stall for time.

Hence, he also stood up. His long hair and blood-red robe fluttered in the wind. A dense blood mist spread out from his body, transforming into blood dragons that circled around his body, roaring with violence.

At the same time, the sound divine authority also activated, and the carving knife formed by the fate divine authority emitted a chilling intent.

Black lotuses materialized around Xu Qing, forming an extreme defense.

All of this caused everyone’s expressions to change. The news of Xue Chenzi’s actions in the West Demon Feather appeared in their minds.

“Great Emperor Nether Flame’s secret art.”

“With just its own defense, it can resist Soul Accumulation Nine Worlds. It’s difficult for anyone below the Ruler realm to break through it!”

“There’s also the death of West Demon Child. Although the exact reason is unknown, it’s obvious that Xue Chenzi has an astonishing trump card.”

Almost at the instant everyone’s thoughts rose, the body of the old man from the First Ruler Mountain disappeared. When he reappeared, he was in the air.

Xu Qing’s figure also turned blurry and materialized in the air, ready to fight.

However, at that moment, laughter rang out between the two of them.

Lin Kun, the son of the fifth Ruler whom Xu Qing had met outside, appeared between Xu Qing and the old man. The aura of the Nine Worlds erupted from his body, forming a barrier.

“Can the two of you listen to me?”

“According to the ancient agreement, although the Ruler Mountains have the right to interfere and make the final decision, since ancient times, the various Rulers have never exercised this right.”

“Brother Zhang, are you sure that during this time of war and with the opening of the Great Emperor Nether Flame’s seclusion place imminent, you still want to represent the First Ruler Mountain and forcibly intervene in the Immortal Arts Hall’s matters, even as Xue Chenzi, the emissary of the Tenth Ruler, expresses his opposition?”

Lin Kun stared at the old man from the First Ruler Mountain with a deep gaze. “Brother Zhang, the consequences of this matter are very great. Moreover, before I came, my father had ordered me to support the decision of the Tenth Ruler Mountain.”

“So, I’ll ask you to think twice.”

The expression of the old man from the First Ruler Mountain darkened. He looked at Lin Kun and then at Xu Qing. After a moment of silence, he let out a cold snort.

“Since Fellow Daoist Lin has said so, let’s forget about this matter.”

With that, he returned to his seat and closed his eyes to meditate.

This dispute ended with him stopping.

Xu Qing didn’t care about this. He could also tell that although the old man from the First Ruler Mountain looked aggressive on the surface, he actually didn’t have any battle intent.

Hence, it was good that they didn’t fight.

He nodded at Lin Kun, who had resolved this matter.

Lin Kun smiled. He had his own intentions for doing this.

On one hand, he sensed that the old man from the First Ruler Mountain needed a reason to step back. Hence, he provided this reason, which would benefit himself.

On the other hand, he also used this opportunity to express his goodwill to Xue Chenzi.

One act and two gains.

At the same time, he cleverly highlighted the Fifth Ruler’s authority in deciding the Great Immortal Master of the Immortal Arts Hall.

He killed three birds with one stone.

Hence, with a smile, he and Xu Qing returned to their seats.

However, this scene caused the faces of the immortal masters under the Great Elder to turn pale and unwillingness rose in their hearts. However, the Ten Ruler Mountains had already reached a consensus, so they couldn’t do anything.

They could only tacitly agree.

The Yun family’s young master heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at the cauldron that was undergoing refinement in the center of the square.

At that moment, there was much more commotion in the cauldron than in the outside world.

Faced with the cauldron being sealed shut and Yuetong’s severed head speaking, the Great Immortal Master of the Immortal Arts Hall experienced an overwhelming roar in both his mind and heart.

He was in disbelief.

Yue Dong’s words had really exceeded his imagination.

You… This cauldron was refined from your bones? You’re that… giant sin who was killed by the Immortal Arts Great Emperor back then?”

“How is this possible!”

The Great Elder panted. His first reaction was naturally disbelief, but the loss of his control over the cauldron and the fact that it had truly fused shut with flesh and blood at the other’s words left him shaken.

All of this made it impossible for him not to believe it.

“It isn’t important even if what you said is true. Your insufficient strength is the key. If you really had crushing strength, why would you use such methods?”

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Arts Hall’s Great Elder. He understood that the truth was no longer important. What was important was… how he could obtain the final victory here.

Hence, his killing intent soared to the sky.

“If I kill you, everything will be resolved!”

The Great Elder’s body swayed as he headed straight for Yue Dong’s vigilant head.

With his cultivation in the Soul Accumulation Nine Worlds and his bizarre immortal art, he instantly arrived beside Yue Dong’s head.

No matter how the head flew away, it was meaningless. The Great Elder ruthlessly struck it.

With a boom, Yue Dong’s head directly shattered into pieces.

However, the expression of the Great Elder became even gloomier.

This was because… after Yue Dong’s head collapsed, the scattered flesh and blood instantly gathered together again and the head… reappeared.

However, it no longer looked like Yue Dong but Erniu.

Old thing, you have no hope of killing me in your life!”

The Great Elder didn’t say a word and attacked again. This time, he used an immortal art.

A strange gray hand appeared in front of Erniu and stretched in, piercing through the head as though it was taking away Erniu’s soul.

As for the remaining flesh and blood, they instantly corroded and turned into black water droplets.

However… in the blink of an eye, a blue worm flew out of the black water and exploded in mid-air, turning into blood mist. After it gathered, Erniu’s head appeared again.

However, his face was clearly pale.

However, his shouts became even more arrogant.

F*ck you. Come, come, come. Let’s see whether you will kill me or I kill you first!”

“Let’s see whose life is tougher!”

You covet my immortal art? Let me tell you clearly, your immortal arts—I’m taking them!”

“I won’t learn immortal arts bit by bit. I will directly refine you and eat your immortal arts in one go.”

Erniu roared.

The anxiety in the heart of the Great Elder grew increasingly intense. This was because the refinement in this cauldron was effective on him now.

Hence, he attacked again without hesitation. However, every time Erniu’s head collapsed, the other party would strangely form again. No matter what he did, it only made the face of the head formed by Erniu turn paler and paler.

The other party was like a monster that couldn’t be truly killed no matter what.

Moreover, during this gap, Erniu’s trump cards were also being displayed crazily.

You use wind, rain, lightning, and fire; I’ll use metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!”

“Summoning the Eternal Icy Water from my previous life!”

Erniu roared and spat out a large mouthful of blue ice water that landed in the cauldron, causing the refinement of the cauldron to be even more intense.

The Great Elder gasped and intense anxiety appeared on his face as he attempted to kill again.

Amidst the rumbling, Erniu revived and roared.

“Summoning the inextinguishable fire of life from my present life!”

With a bang, Erniu shattered again. After he formed again, he shouted.

“Summoning the coffin that contained the corpse of the Northern Emperor!”

“Summoning the soil that buried the Northern Emperor of the Immortal World!”

Every time he opened his mouth, he would spit out an item. As the fire of life descended, the coffin wood and the soil that buried the emperor caused the refinement might of this cauldron to becoming terrifying.

After all, these four items were each extraordinary, encompassing past lives and the present. Using the Northern Emperor’s coffin and soil to enhance the refining process elevated its power to an earth-shattering level.

Even someone as powerful as the Great Elder’s body began to burn and his soul was being tormented. At this critical moment of life and death, his killing intent reached its limit and attacked Erniu again.

Erniu collapsed and gathered again. The madness in his eyes also reached the peak and he let out a hysterical roar.

“Fire, water, earth, and wood are here, now 1 only lack metal!”

“Summoning the bone metal imbued with great karma, and harness the power of endless karma to break your immortal art’s edge!”

Erniu let out a deafening roar and spat out a bone the size of a fingernail. This bone was golden in color. The moment it appeared, it shone with a dazzling golden light. The karmic power inside was incomparably dense and erupted completely.

The Great Elder’s expression changed drastically.

As for Erniu, other than being crazy and weakened, he was also smug.

“This is a metal treasure refined from the bones of my junior brother, who self-destructed in the human imperial capital years ago. His spiritual energy burned, and his flesh was consumed, ultimately leading to the complete fragmentation of his bones to produce this bone!”

“I secretly took it away back then.. Today… I’ll use it deal with you!”
