"Kill!"
Murderous aura brimmed on Su Qingluo's delicate face. With a fierce shout, she gripped her white longsword and charged toward that Initial Earth Immortal of the Western Sect.
Apart from Su Qingluo, two Earth Immortals from Reincarnation Palace, along with seven Ancestors of Reincarnation Palace, all rushed forward to surround and assault that Earth Immortal.
These seven Reincarnation Palace Ancestors had all been Earth Immortals in life. Though their current combat power was greatly diminished, their numbers made them a formidable fighting force nonetheless.
Ye Yunfei had long since unleashed his Formless Heart Sword and Soul Sword to attack that Western Sect Earth Immortal, while Hu Miao also deployed her Illusion Art.
"Halt!"
From afar, a tall, imposing monk radiating rolling waves of Buddhist light roared in desperate anger, charging across the void with terrifying speed. Everyone blocking his path was instantly exploded upon impact, leaving a trail of blood. Even members of the five great powers and the Dark Faction weren't spared, many being crushed to death.
"Great Senior Brother, save me!"
The Western Sect Initial Earth Immortal currently being besieged by Su Qingluo and the others cried out urgently upon seeing the tall monk.
"It's too late."
Su Qingluo sneered.
In the next instant, Su Qingluo and her group swarmed him, thoroughly shattering this Western Sect Earth Immortal into nothingness.
"Hahaha...
What a rush! This takes me back to the feeling of reigning supreme across these times and spaces long ago!"
A Reincarnation Palace Ancestor laughed heartily.
"Keep up the good work. I believe, in your hands, our Reincarnation Palace has a chance to thrive and rise to glory!"
This Ancestor's gaze swept toward Ye Yunfei as he spoke, a pointed meaning in his words.
"Ancestor, do not worry. I will spare no effort in leading Reincarnation Palace to glory!"
Su Qingluo immediately replied respectfully. These Reincarnation Palace Ancestors held very senior statuses, and Su Qingluo treated them with utmost reverence.
"Qingluo, waste no time. Continue!"
Ye Yunfei sent a voice transmission.
"Understood!"
Su Qingluo nodded.
"Combine your forces and annihilate these pests!"
At this moment, eight or nine Earth Immortal experts from various directions were already charging to surround and attack Su Qingluo's party.
"Attack!"
Mo Xiangtian bellowed, taking the lead by blasting out eighteen azure dragon images from afar, which soared into the sky and pounced toward them.
"Die!"
The Five Poisons Immortal Child also began unleashing his true trump cards. He retrieved an oily green box and opened it directly. From within, a centipede with five distinct colors on its body erupted.
Pu! Pu! Pu...!
The Five Poisons Immortal Child spat out over a dozen mouthfuls of essence blood in quick succession, all of it landing on the gigantic, five-colored centipede. Its aura surged violently in an instant, swelling in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an enormous, bizarre centipede that exuded overwhelming waves of bloody stench as it surged forward to kill.
"Su Qingluo, this Buddhist Venerable comes to collect you!"
A large, fat-headed monk cradling a golden alms bowl came sweeping through the void. Behind him materialized the shadowy form of an ancient Buddha, seated cross-legged with palms pressed together, chanting scriptures.
A general clad in armor, holding a long spear, stood upon a chariot, crushing the void as it rolled toward them.
For a time, powerful figures converged from all directions toward the location of Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei. The might of the energies they unleashed shook this expanse of starry sky violently, like a sieve.
The consecutive deaths of four Earth Immortals had thoroughly enraged the experts of the five great powers and the Dark Faction, who now rushed forth intending to surround and kill Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei.
"Heheh...
Do you think numbers alone matter?"
Watching Earth Immortal after Earth Immortal rushing toward them murderously from all sides, Ye Yunfei snorted derisively with a cold laugh.
Boom! Boom...!
Ye Yunfei continuously flung out batches of formation flags. Formations formed instantly, blocking the surrounding space to impede the encircling assault of those Earth Immortal experts.
"Rahhh!
You brat! Always relying on formations, what kind of hero is that?! Come out and fight me head-on like a real man!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei deploy yet more formations, the Five Poisons Immortal Child hopped with rage, roaring furiously.
"Are you dense? All of you Earth Immortals are ganging up to attack. Why should I fight you one-on-one?
Idiot!"
Ye Yunfei retorted with utter disdain and a contemptuous smirk.
"RARGH...!
Brat, I'll rip you to shreds!"
The Five Poisons Immortal Child grew even more furious.
"These are formation materials collected by our Reincarnation Palace. Take them all to manage.
These materials will serve their greatest purpose in your hands."
Seeing Ye Yunfei pull out batch after batch of formation flags, Su Qingluo knew he must need a massive supply of formation-making materials. Thus, she retrieved a spatial ring and handed it to Ye Yunfei via sound transmission.
"That works.
After all, what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours."
Ye Yunfei chuckled.
"Stop being glib!
Besides, these formation materials don't belong to me personally; they belong to Reincarnation Palace!"
Su Qingluo said.
Boom...!
Even as she spoke, Su Qingluo activated the Space Teleportation Token, transporting herself, Ye Yunfei, and the others away from their previous location.
Seeing this, the Initial Earth Immortals among the five great powers and the Dark Faction couldn't help but panic. They knew Su Qingluo's target was undoubtedly Initial Earth Immortals like them—bullying the weak.
Moments later, Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei appeared directly behind another Initial Earth Immortal—a formidable expert from the Five Immortals Sect!
Buzzzz...
Panicking, this Five Immortals Sect expert trembled, unleashing a dense swarm of Gu Insects from within his body—no fewer than five to six hundred of them! These Gu Insects possessed a bizarre ability to traverse space, instantly appearing before Ye Yunfei and the others, emitting a foul, stinking odor as they attacked.
For Five Immortals Sect experts, these Gu Insects were integral to their combat strength. Many could challenge those above their cultivation level precisely because of the Gu Insects they controlled.
"Scram!"
Ye Yunfei immediately unleashed his Formless Heart Sword, attacking nearly simultaneously all hundreds of Gu Insects.
The Formless Heart Sword was supremely fast—a mere thought and it could reach anywhere.
Even Su Qingluo could not achieve this.
Ye Yunfei realized the Formless Heart Sword was remarkably effective against these Gu Insects.
The best tactic against Gu Insects was to prevent them from getting close, and the Formless Heart Sword accomplished exactly that. Not just a few hundred, even if there were thousands of Gu Insects, Ye Yunfei could deploy the Formless Heart Sword and block them all instantly!
"Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, don't you always boast that your kind can command all insects under the heavens? Think of a way to deal with these Gu Insects so they don't distract the master."
Hu Miao said.
"If I possessed sufficiently strong bloodline energy, I could instantly suppress all these Gu Insects, making them explode and perish outright. But with my current bloodline energy level, I can only subdue them, rendering them immobile temporarily.
Overall, my bloodline energy is not yet powerful enough."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm replied.
"It's already good enough that you can immobilize them temporarily. If we ever encounter large swarms of Gu Insects, we'll rely on your help."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
While Ye Yunfei was fending off the Gu Insects, Su Qingluo led the Reincarnation Palace experts and Ancestors in surrounding and attacking that Five Immortals Sect expert. Each of them struck with full, lethal force.
Su Qingluo especially erupted with terrifyingly extreme white energy from her lithe form, like endless roaring oceans of white, suppressing the Five Immortals Sect Earth Immortal until his face flushed red and his combat power plummeted, barely able to fight back.
In mere moments, this Five Immortals Sect expert was beaten until he exploded and died.
Another Earth Immortal had fallen!
"Today, my Blood Clan Clone has continuously refined and absorbed the bloodline essence of several Earth Immortal experts. Its power seems to be rising rapidly!"
Ye Yunfei released his Blood Clan Clone to harvest the bloodline essence of this Earth Immortal expert. Sensing the Clone's power steadily increasing, he felt a stirring excitement.
"Refining and absorbing the soul body essence of these few Earth Immortals has brought me enormous gains! My own strength has also risen significantly!"
Huang Shang, knowing what Ye Yunfei was thinking, transmitted.
"Excellent."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"All Initial Earth Immortals, rally to my position immediately! Assemble together; do not fight alone any longer!"
A high-level Earth Immortal from the Thousand Tangs Empire shouted clearly.
This was a white-haired general with awe-inspiring battle prowess, currently engaged with a high-level Earth Immortal from Reincarnation Palace. The two had fought fiercely for a long time without a decisive outcome. Seeing so many of his faction's Earth Immortals slain, he began to panic, retreating constantly and pulling away from his Reincarnation Palace opponent, preparing to assist his side's Initial Earth Immortals.
Swoosh! Swoosh...!
The surviving Initial Earth Immortals of the five great powers and the Dark Faction immediately activated their movement techniques, dashing toward this white-haired general.
"Entangle them! Don't let them assemble!"
Su Qingluo transmitted.
Upon receiving the order, the Reincarnation Palace Earth Immortals and Ancestors immediately acted, intercepting and engaging those enemy Initial Earth Immortals.
Su Qingluo then repeatedly utilized the Space Teleportation Token to rapidly teleport herself, Ye Yunfei, and the others behind the enemy's Initial Earth Immortals.
In one continuous effort, they executed another two of the opponent's Initial Earth Immortals!
Indeed, among the Earth Immortal experts of the five great powers and the Dark Faction, Initial Earth Immortals constituted the largest group, nearly half the total number.
These Initial Earth Immortals were now almost completely wiped out, with only one remaining!
This sole remaining Initial Earth Immortal scurried to hide behind a high-level Earth Immortal, his face pale with fright.
Both the warring parties and the onlookers in the distant starry sky could scarcely believe it.
Since when had Earth Immortals become so... fragile?
Like chicks, slaughtered one after another!
"This is the first time in my life I've witnessed so many Earth Immortal experts falling in a single place!"
Someone couldn't help but cry out.
"This is also my first time ever seeing an Earth Immortal expert fall with my own eyes!
I always believed Earth Immortals stood lofty and sacred, sharing the lifespan of these very times and spaces, never destined to fall. So it turns out Earth Immortal experts can indeed be slain!"
Another bystander exclaimed.
And it was true. For ordinary martial artists, Earth Immortal experts were like divine dragons in the heavens—supremely sacred and, in the minds of most, utterly invincible and incapable of perishing!
Yet today, so many Earth Immortal experts had fallen here. It was an event unheard of throughout the ages!
"Look!
It's raining blood!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, pointing. In this starry expanse, unknown when it began, a swirling rain of blood was descending.
Faintly, one could even glimpse shadowy apparitions of ancient people continuously appearing within this starry sky, kneeling and weeping, seemingly making sacrificial offerings.
"This... this is the legendary phenomenon—Heaven Rains Blood, the Ancient People Make Offerings!
This is the omen of great sorrow!
No wonder, after so many Earth Immortals have fallen here today, even this universe and starry sky are weeping!"
An old man with flowing white hair and beard sighed sorrowfully up toward the heavens.
