Tai Bai Yunsheng clung to
For unknown reasons, the calamitous ground collapse did not trouble them.
Tai Bai Yunsheng and Hei Lou Lan seized this opportunity tightly, overjoyed, fleeing all the way in a frantic retreat.
The Ten Absolutes Grand Formation also entered a critical phase, unable to seal the surroundings; the process of Tai Bai Yunsheng and Hei Lou Lan escaping was very smooth.
Soon, they left the battlefield of Mount Yi Tian behind.
Half an incense stick later, they could no longer see the gray clouds on the horizon.
“Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, wake up quickly!” Hei Lou Lan slapped Fang Yuan’s cheeks hard, but he remained unresponsive, snoring loudly.
Without Fang Yuan’s Ding Xian You, they could not leave the
Unless they crossed the world barrier.
But doing so would incur too great a loss.
“Gu Immortals of the
Immediately, three Southern Border Gu Immortals descended.
Seeing the battered, disheveled appearance of Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yunsheng, the leading Gu Immortal exclaimed in surprise: “Judging by your wounds, did you come from Mount Yi Tian? Tell me what exactly happened there?”
Tai Bai Yunsheng wore a wary expression.
Hei Lou Lan then sneered: “If you want to know what happened, just go see for yourselves.”
The three Southern Border Gu Immortals snorted coldly; their cultivation levels were not high. They had come together to investigate because the Gu Immortal experts of their respective families were all near Mount Yi Tian, with no news arriving.
No matter which superpower, they all cared greatly about the ownership of the Startling Phoenix Battle Platform.
Moreover, at this moment, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yunsheng’s auras were weak, their bodies covered in wounds—a pitiful, weak sight.
“Tell us, and you will obediently speak.”
“Northern Plains Gu Immortal, you’ve run to the Southern Border side. Your attitude is still so arrogant.”
“Strike first and capture these three.”
Thus, this sudden battle erupted.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield of Mount Yi Tian, gray mist still lingered.
The situation reached a stalemate.
No matter how hard the
Meanwhile, Ying Wu Xie and the immortal corpse
Wafts of gray mist flickered with elusive light, constantly shifting the scenes, swirling around the immortal corpse Bo Qing.
These were
Strangely, within the body of the immortal corpse Bo Qing resided the remnant soul of Mo Yao. When Bo Qing underwent his tribulation, what happened then is now unknown.
But the city gate fire harmed the fish in the moat; Mo Yao’s remnant soul also lingered in the gray mist, revealing the deepest sorrows of her heart.
“Hmph.” The immortal corpse Bo Qing let out a cold laugh.
Faced with past disgrace and shadows, Mo Yao’s remnant soul showed a steadfast side.
“Strange. Why aren’t you affected by the gray mist?” Bo Qing gazed at Ying Wu Xie beside him.
Ying Wu Xie stared intently at the gray mist images around Bo Qing’s body.
“I don’t know either.” Ying Wu Xie scratched his head, then pointed forward. “But you’re quite interesting.”
Bo Qing snorted coldly: “It seems you were just born and only have nine hours of lifespan, so you simply haven’t had time to experience these things.”
Having said that, Bo Qing’s face filled with worry.
The myriad calamities’ gray memory poses no threat to an existence like Ying Wu Xie, because his age is too young and his life journey is not heavy.
But for the Netherworld Demon Sovereign, it is entirely a different matter.
“This second myriad calamity, with its malicious intent, places one within the gray mist; not only are past shadows displayed outwardly, but the deep emotions of the heart also fluctuate, letting one re‑experience their former feelings. My early memories have already made my thoughts sink into sorrow. If I were to recall them onto Qing Lang, I fear… I am still like this. The Netherworld Demon Sovereign is older, his experiences richer than mine. How then should he face it?” Having thought this, Mo Yao’s remnant soul activated the immortal corpse’s flesh and lifted her gaze once more.
Within the gray mist, the Netherworld Demon Sovereign’s soul resembled an iron‑cast mountain, unmoving, silent as death.
Around him, the gray mist roiled, giving rise to countless colored smoke waves. These smoke waves depicted various scenes, already appearing when the Netherworld Demon Sovereign attained Gu Immortality.
In the depths of the earth.
“Kid, is it you who wants to inherit my legacy?” In the darkness, two eyes as large as lanterns suddenly blazed open.
“Yes.” The Gu Immortal Netherworld Soul spoke sparingly. He wore a black robe, his hair loosely draped over his shoulders, his expression cold, only occasional flickers of light in the depths of his eyes.
“Hehehe… hahaha” A wild, unrestrained laugh echoed from the darkness, then grew louder, deafening.
After a while, the laughter gradually subsided.
“It seems you have made up your mind, so accept the trial of the inheritance.” With a roar, a monster stepped out from the darkness.
This monster had thick limbs, its body covered in tough scales, a crocodile’s head.
Its huge jaws gaped wide, sharp teeth flashing cold light, like so many daggers.
On top of its head were two twisted, curved dragon horns.
Its body likewise emanated the aura of a Gu Immortal.
Clearly, this was a beast‑man Gu Immortal.
Beast‑men are a type of anomalous person; during the era of the three great demon sovereigns they were slaughtered most horribly. Unexpectedly, in the Netherworld Demon Sovereign’s growth process, one could still encounter a beast‑man Gu Immortal.
This dragon‑horned crocodile‑headed beast‑man Gu Immortal opened his blood‑filled maw and lunged at the Netherworld Demon Sovereign’s Gu Immortal.
But the Netherworld Demon Sovereign’s Gu Immortal did not dodge or evade.
The beast‑man sank his teeth in, severing the Gu Immortal’s arm.
Blood spurted out.
