Gulp—
At this moment, the sound of many people swallowing their saliva could be heard. Countless individuals stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, looking at Ye Chen who had casually tossed aside the Tai Yi Immortal Diagram with utter terror.
Too weak?
Please, that was a Supreme Immortal Weapon! Throughout the ages of the Primordial Immortal World, it was a famously renowned Supreme Immortal Weapon. When fully revived, it alone was powerful enough to sink an entire Immortal Domain.
Yet, such a Supreme Immortal Weapon was declared too weak. Moreover, it was clear that Ye Chen's disdain came from the depths of his heart; he simply didn't consider it worthy of his attention.
Was this even human?
He must have long since attained the Dao and become an immortal!
Otherwise, how could a supreme treasure like the Tai Yi Immortal Diagram, potent enough to suppress an entire Immortal Domain, be so easily subdued and casually discarded?
Tai Huang was even more panicked. He had finally realized that this Ye Chen before him was undoubtedly a supreme powerhouse who stood above Immortal Monarchs. No wonder he hadn't paid Tai Huang any mind.
"You, shatter."
Suddenly, Ye Chen glanced at Tai Huang, withdrew the fist that had pierced through the latter, and then casually swatted out a palm.
"Fellow Daoist, hold!"
At this moment, Crimson Sun True Immortal arrived. Seeing Ye Chen about to strike Tai Huang, he immediately spoke up to dissuade him.
However, Ye Chen didn't even glance at Crimson Sun True Immortal. His palm continued its descent.
Boom—
Tai Huang's Immortal Monarch body, which he had boasted could annihilate a million miles of rivers and mountains with a single drop of blood, exploded just like that, turning into a mist of blood that scattered between heaven and earth.
The world was shocked!
Indeed, this Ye Chen was a Supreme Immortal. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so invincible.
Crimson Sun True Immortal had only just arrived and could only watch helplessly as Tai Huang was blasted apart, powerless to stop it.
Rumble—
Suddenly, myriad phenomena manifested between heaven and earth—ghosts wailing and deities howling, blood rain falling from the sky, and other strange sights that left countless people dumbfounded. The appearance of such phenomena clearly signified that Tai Huang hadn't merely been smashed to pieces; his form and spirit had been utterly annihilated!
"No—"
Tai Xiao roared. For the Tai'a Immortal King Lineage, an Immortal Monarch like Tai Huang was extremely important. The sudden fall of one today was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
The Tai'a Immortal King Lineage was also filled with fury. This person was too arrogant, too audacious! He actually dared to kill an Immortal Monarch of their lineage. This was an absolute declaration of a fight to the death!
Everyone in the Noon Mountain Sect, high and low, was terrified. This was especially true for the Noon Mountain Sovereign, who recalled how he had recently pushed Ye Chen away, refusing to acknowledge him as a member of the Noon Mountain Sect. Now, he felt nothing but sheer horror.
Even an Immortal Monarch as powerful and peerless as Tai Huang had been directly killed. He was merely an aged old Sovereign; how could he possibly be a match for Ye Chen?
If such an existence truly decided to act against the Noon Mountain Sect, he could probably wipe it to dust with a mere wave of his hand.
At the same time, the expression of Crimson Sun True Immortal, who had just arrived, darkened completely. He said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, your actions are rather excessive, are they not?"
He was, after all, the Immortal Domain Lord of the Crimson Sun Immortal Domain, ruling over this domain. Yet, Ye Chen had disregarded his words as the domain lord and killed Tai Huang right before his eyes, which inevitably provoked his great anger.
Moreover, Tai Xiao had had his cultivation severed within the Crimson Sun Immortal Domain, his God King protector Tai Shuang had been killed, and now Immortal Monarch Tai Huang had also been slain, form and spirit annihilated. He could not simply stand by and do nothing.
Otherwise, once Tai'a Immortal King delivered punishment, even as a Supreme Immortal of his generation, he would be utterly unable to bear it.
Regardless of the reason, he could not remain idle. He had to demand justice.
"Excessive?" Ye Chen said indifferently, "I did not wish for this. However, the Tai'a Immortal King Lineage has been targeting me at every turn. Left with no choice, I was forced to act."
Forced to act out of helplessness?
Crimson Sun True Immortal raised an eyebrow. From his perspective, no matter how he looked at it, it was Ye Chen who had been aggressively taking action step by step, while the Tai'a Immortal King Lineage seemed more like the victim.
The Noon Mountain Sect members remained silent. They very much wanted to say that Ye Chen was indeed the victim. From the very beginning, Ye Chen had only acted in self-defense.
However, because Ye Chen was too powerful, repeatedly counter-killing members of the Tai'a Immortal King Lineage, resulting in the deaths of many of their experts, it made the Tai'a Immortal King Lineage appear more like the victim.
There was no helping it. Ultimately, it was because Ye Chen was too strong, repeatedly shattering everyone's expectations—from being suspected as an Ancient Sovereign, to an Immortal Monarch, and now a Supreme Immortal.
Who could have imagined that someone who had lived in the Noon Mountain Sect for over a month would have such a terrifying true origin, actually being an existence at the Supreme Immortal level?
The entire Noon Mountain Sect, high and low, had never dreamed that such a supreme and peerless existence would condescend to stay within their sect, remaining amiable and never showing anger.
Otherwise, the wrath of a Supreme Immortal could directly cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split, obliterating billions of rivers and mountains!
Crimson Sun True Immortal swept his gaze over everyone's expressions and judged that what Ye Chen said was likely true.
However, even so, he could only choose to act.
There was no other way. An Immortal Monarch of the Tai'a Immortal King Lineage had perished here, and Tai Xiao had had his cultivation severed. As the Immortal Domain Lord, he absolutely had to give the Tai'a Immortal King Lineage an explanation.
Ye Chen could see through Crimson Sun True Immortal's thoughts. He said, "Before you act against me, let me advise you: stop here. I have no desire to move against you. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself."
Bear the consequences yourself?
Crimson Sun True Immortal was also angered. Was this looking down on him?
He was, after all, a Supreme Immortal, a Supreme One. When had he ever been looked down upon like this?
Immediately, Crimson Sun True Immortal said coldly, "This immortal would like to see just how you will make me bear the consequences."
Boom—
From his body, an incomparably mighty immortal aura erupted, far more powerful than Tai Huang's by who knew how many times, and even stronger than the revived Tai Yi Immortal Diagram.
In the end, the Tai Yi Immortal Diagram was merely a weapon. No matter how fully revived, it could never compare to a true Supreme Immortal; it could only come close.
Crimson Sun True Immortal's entire body began to emit strands of immortal flame. Each strand was incredibly brilliant, many times more dazzling than the sun. Countless strands of immortal flame surged forth, completely enveloping Crimson Sun True Immortal, forming an immortal Dao sun that surpassed the sun in brilliance by billions of times.
That's right, an immortal Dao sun!
This was the immortal Dao sun formed by Crimson Sun True Immortal using his own immortal Dao flame. Moreover, Crimson Sun True Immortal was a Supreme Immortal who cultivated the fire immortal Dao. When he released his immortal flames like this, in an instant, not only the Crimson Sun Immortal Domain, but even several nearby Immortal Domains felt the incomparable might of the immortal Dao sweeping through.
If Crimson Sun True Immortal hadn't deliberately controlled the immortal flames, the temperature alone would have turned the entire Immortal Domain into scorched earth, causing the deaths of billions upon billions of living beings and transforming it into a land of death.
Rumble—
Crimson Sun True Immortal pointed a finger. A pillar of immortal flame, as thick as a starry river, shot out and slammed fiercely into Ye Chen.
