"Excellent!"
"The Alliance Leader is magnificent!"
"This is the might of our Two Heavens Alliance!"
The morale of the immortals in the Dragon Palace soared instantly, and cheers erupted all around.
The Evil Dragon charged ahead with unstoppable ferocity, while the Dragon Palace followed behind with ease and leisure.
"This barbaric dragonman!" Luo Zu, the Grand Supreme Elder of the Luo family, felt his eyelids twitch violently, his teeth clenched in hatred.
The immortals from both families aboard the Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower felt immense pressure. The Evil Dragon pursued relentlessly behind them, like a mountain range rampaging forward with complete abandon. In comparison, the Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower appeared extremely small and delicate.
What was more critical was that the Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower had to constantly dodge the qi pillars, making its forward path extremely circuitous. The Evil Dragon Di Cangsheng, on the other hand, charged in straight lines, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.
"What should we do?" The Southern Alliance Gu Immortals' faces had gone pale.
Wu Yong simply smiled faintly: "Wu Shuai uses raw power to suppress his opponents, which is exactly playing to his strengths while avoiding his weaknesses. If I were him, I would do the same. Everyone, do not worry. After the Battle of Destiny, the Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower was not only fully repaired, but I also reinforced it further. It can hold off Di Cangsheng for the time being without issue. Though the opponent is strong, we need not engage in a drawn-out fight with them. We only need to seize the Qi Collapse True Inheritance first."
"Alliance Leader speaks truly!" The immortals all nodded in agreement.
Every battle had its objective, and Wu Yong understood this with great clarity: the sole purpose of this conflict was to seize the Qi Collapse True Inheritance. Whichever side achieved that goal would be the victor. Even if they suffered some setbacks during the fighting, what did that matter?
After all, the Evil Dragon was simply too powerful.
It was the foremost combatant among the Primordial Archaic Beasts!
Across the entire Five Regions and Two Heavens, the number of people who could stand against the Evil Dragon head-on could be counted on one hand. At most, fewer than five!
While Wu Shuai and Wu Yong were locked in their pursuit, the third Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu House had also quietly arrived outside the Qi Collapse Cave Heaven.
It was the Demon-Slaying Slate!
The Demon-Slaying Slate was still operated by Fang Zheng, but this time, not only had Fengxian Crown Prince and Bai Cangshui come along, but also Che Wei, who had recently finished healing from his injuries, and the information path powerhouse Zhou Xiongxin.
The last time Fang Zheng had launched an offensive into the Two Heavens of his own initiative, though he was ultimately repelled by the Ice Crystal Immortal King, the harvest had still been substantial. The war spoils Fengxian Crown Prince and Bai Cangshui had seized from the first two cave heavens were extremely abundant.
Though Fang Zheng had suffered defeat, he had only lost the Heavenly Court's face—its substance remained intact.
The Heavenly Court had originally been unaware of the Qi Collapse Cave Heaven. After all, the Primordial Daytime was so vast that even with the qi tide surging and the cave heaven revealing itself, the Heavenly Court would not have noticed it immediately.
But one must not forget that Nightwolf Heavenly Lord, who served under Wu Shuai, had secretly defected to the Heavenly Court. Xiao Hejian's joining of the Two Heavens Alliance could not be concealed at all, and through this, Nightwolf Heavenly Lord had learned of the Qi Collapse Cave Heaven's secret and immediately reported it to the Heavenly Court.
Qi Collapse Immortal Demon was extremely famous in history—a terrifying powerhouse who had opposed Limitless Demon Venerable!
He had specifically cultivated the qi path, and in the current environment, with the qi tide surging violently and an abundance of entirely new qi path resources emerging one after another, every major power in the Five Regions wanted to deepen their research into the qi path.
The Heavenly Court was no exception!
Although the Heavenly Court already possessed the Primordial True Inheritance and others, if the Heavenly Court seized the Qi Collapse True Inheritance, it meant other powers would not obtain it. Through this dynamic of gain on one side and loss on the other, the Heavenly Court's advantage would be further solidified.
Therefore, after only a brief rest, Fang Zheng once again followed Qin Dingling's orders, leading four Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals to operate the Demon-Slaying Slate and charge back into the Primordial Daytime, arriving here.
"This should be the Qi Collapse Cave Heaven. What is happening?" Fang Zheng had barely arrived when he witnessed a tremendous upheaval.
Countless apertures were continuously emerging, pure white qi currents surging and churning, spinning ceaselessly. Innumerable holes were being born one after another, connecting the interior and exterior of the cave heaven.
These apertures multiplied, emerging ceaselessly, dense and packed together—so concentrated that they inspired an instinctive sense of dread.
After a dozen breaths, the enormous phantom silhouette of the Qi Collapse Cave Heaven gradually materialized. On the surface of the phantom, countless pure white qi currents wrapped around it like a cocoon. Within these currents, innumerable apertures were constantly inhaling and exhaling.
The surrounding atmosphere was being devoured by a terrifying invisible force, drawn savagely into the cave heaven. The resulting howl was so violent that it filled the ears of all five Heavenly Court immortals.
"The Qi Collapse Cave Heaven seems to be undergoing a dramatic transformation!"
"Wu Shuai, Wu Yong, and the others have likely already begun fighting inside the cave heaven."
"What should we do?"
Fengxian Crown Prince and the others all looked toward Fang Zheng—once again, he was in command.
Fang Zheng felt the pressure. The decision before him felt agonizingly difficult. For a moment, he was caught in hesitation—what exactly should he do?
The center of the Qi Collapse Cave Heaven.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thunderous roar of collapsing qi pillars was incessant.
Wherever the Evil Dragon went, it swept away all obstacles. But this state of affairs did not last long. After these qi pillars collapsed, they transformed into violent surges of qi current. Countless streams of qi intertwined and wrapped themselves around the Evil Dragon's body, pressing down on it ceaselessly, besieging and attempting to trap it from every direction.
The Evil Dragon howled, but its momentum was steadily decelerating, the pressure bearing down from ahead growing ever greater.
The Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower and the Dragon Palace were faring no better.
These qi currents were like successive tsunamis. The two Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu Houses, caught within them, were like tiny sampans tossed about in a raging tempest.
Massive qi currents slammed into the two Immortal Gu Houses, sending them into violent tremors, sometimes even spinning them in place.
A deep blue qi current shot straight forward. The Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower hastily dodged. But the deep blue current was enormous and its speed terrifying. The Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower strained with all its might, struggling for three full breaths before finally breaking free.
"That's electric qi!" The Southern Border Gu Immortals exclaimed in awe. "I've never seen such a massive quantity of electric qi. This quality would qualify as Eighth Transformation immortal materials."
Collecting electric qi required stormy weather.
The harvesting of electric qi was not difficult in itself, but high-transformation electric qi immortal materials were quite rare.
Eighth Transformation electric qi was exceedingly rare.
If the situation were not so dire, the Southern Border Gu Immortals would have wanted to collect these electric qi currents.
"It's all Wu Shuai's fault! His reckless actions have caused the Qi Collapse Cave Heaven to erupt into complete chaos." Luo Zu gnashed his teeth.
Wu Yong, however, remained composed: "The Qi Collapse True Inheritance is our primary objective!"
The electric qi had just cost the Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower some Gu worms, but Wu Yong swiftly made replacements.
These immortal materials naturally formed extreme environments due to the overwhelming density of their Dao Marks. Had there been wind path qi current materials, the Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower would have thrived in them like a fish in water.
The Qi Collapse Cave Heaven's dramatic transformation had made the environment extremely hostile, but on the whole, it had actually improved Wu Yong's situation considerably.
Because while the Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower was affected, the impact on Wu Shuai's side was even greater.
The Dragon Palace's speed was far slower than that of the Jade Clarity Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower.
Sharp blade qi, pitch-black hard qi, murky death qi… Qi currents of every variety, all enormous and all at the Eighth Transformation level. Wu Shuai steeled himself and forced the Dragon Palace to push straight through them.
