"Bai Ningbing, don't push it too far!" Qi Fa, the leader of the Qi family Gu Immortals, roared in fury.
But inside, Bai Ningbing was sneering coldly.
The White Aspect streaked across the sky, flashing past Qi Fa's eyes in an instant. What it left behind was Qi Jin's corpse, frozen solid in a block of ice. The look of horror on Qi Jin's face at the moment of death had been perfectly preserved — vivid and lifelike within the thick ice.
Boom, boom, boom!
Killer moves from the Qi path exploded one after another. The White Aspect dodged a small portion, another portion was blocked by the Immortal Formation, and the rest blasted the White Aspect to shreds.
But in the blink of an eye, the White Aspect was restored to its original form.
This sight plunged the remaining Qi family Gu Immortals into an icy dread, body and soul.
After a desperate life-and-death struggle, three of the five Qi family Gu Immortals had already fallen, leaving only Qi Fa and Qi Cai.
"Damn it! The White Aspect's killer move is far too powerful for us to handle on short notice!" Qi Fa gnashed his teeth.
"The real problem is this Super Immortal Formation. Without it blocking us, we would have escaped long ago." Qi Cai stared at Qi Fa, his eyes bloodshot, his words laden with meaning.
Qi Fa fell silent.
What Qi Cai said wasn't wrong. The White Aspect's killer move was powerful, true, but even if they couldn't beat it, couldn't they flee? Once outside, the world would be vast and open — they would have no need to fight Bai Ningbing to the death.
But breaking through this formation and breaking out was another matter entirely. Since the battle began, Qi Fa, Qi Cai, and the others had been trying without any success.
Qi Fa sighed. "You're right. We'll have to ask Qi Pingsu to act."
Qi Pingsu only had a Sixth Transformation cultivation level, and he was stationed at the Qi family's main base inside the Qi Sea Cavern Heaven. The only option now was to have him come out, and then the two Qi family immortals could attack the formation from both inside and outside — only then would there be a chance to break through one corner of the formation and rescue the two of them.
But in doing so, they would walk straight into Fang Yuan's scheme.
Fang Yuan had deliberately set things up so that communication was not restricted within the formation — all to lure someone like Qi Pingsu, who was guarding the cavern heaven, to come out.
It was precisely because Qi Fa knew this that he had fought for so long without summoning Qi Pingsu's aid. But now the situation had reached a point of no return — if he didn't act, he himself would die.
Qi Pingsu had long been on standby. Upon receiving the order, he immediately opened the portal of his Immortal Orifice.
Bai Ningbing was overjoyed. "Finally, this moment has come!"
As she spoke, the great formation teleported her out, and she charged straight into the Immortal Orifice portal.
"Not good!" Qi Pingsu had barely stepped forward when he saw Bai Ningbing hurtling toward him. Left with no choice, he blasted himself backward.
The Qi Sea Cavern Heaven was vast and expansive, with white clouds stretching endlessly and great winds howling through.
The moment Bai Ningbing entered, she felt a heavy suppression — her strength was being fiercely repelled and resisted by the abundant Qi path Dao marks permeating this space.
But the mysteries of the White Aspect's killer move remained. As Bai Ningbing sparred with Qi Pingsu, the latter quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Qi Pingsu's cultivation was only at the Sixth Transformation, and his legs were crippled, his body still bearing old injuries. Unable to match Bai Ningbing, he immediately retreated. Here, he held the advantage of home ground, and he soon vanished into the depths of the white clouds.
Bai Ningbing couldn't help but furrow her brow.
The situation had grown troublesome. She hadn't killed Qi Pingsu right away — and in a cavern heaven this vast, how was she supposed to find the man? Even if she did find him, what if he ran off and hid again?
"Hm?" Suddenly, Bai Ningbing looked up sharply and saw an incredibly dense sea of clouds forming directly above her.
An extremely intense sense of crisis surged abruptly in her heart.
"Deadly danger!" In that instant, Bai Ningbing understood the severity of the situation.
She immediately shot downward like a meteor chasing the moon, plummeting in altitude.
Before her eyes, a vast yellowish-brown continent shaped like a flat disc rapidly expanded.
Bai Ningbing's expression grew ever more solemn, as the sense of crisis in her heart only intensified.
Wild winds howled in her ears. She looked back up at the sky and saw the sea of clouds growing ever more immense, covering the sky and the earth, waves of cloud surging and receding. Within it, an overwhelmingly powerful killer move was being forged.
At the same time, Qi Pingsu stood at the center of the sea of clouds. Seeing the Qi Sea Heavenly Spirit appear before him, he cried out in wild elation: "Qi Sea Heavenly Spirit! You've actually awakened! This couldn't be more timely!"
The Qi Sea Heavenly Spirit was entirely snow-white, taking the form of a young fawn. Its eyes radiated golden light, brilliant and dazzling.
"I was startled awake."
"Ever since my grave injury last time, I had to seal myself to stabilize my wounds."
"But this time, I sensed an extremely evil and powerful existence peering into this cavern heaven. I was forced to awaken, only to find that the intruder was not the being I had expected."
Qi Pingsu was stunned for a moment. "I know who it must be — it's that Fang Yuan. Heavenly Spirit, you've been sealed for countless years and wouldn't know that in recent times, an utterly terrifying Demonic Path Gu Immortal has risen. His name is Fang Yuan, and even the Heavenly Court is powerless against him."
The Qi Sea Heavenly Spirit was immediately alarmed. "Even the Heavenly Court is helpless? Then it must be him."
