Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal!
The mysterious Gu Immortal had just revealed his identity, and the entire battlefield fell silent.
All three factions of Gu Immortals were shaken. According to historical records, the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal had once fought the Limitless Demon Venerable to a standstill!
Inside the Dragon Palace, Wu Shuai frowned. A great deal suddenly became clear to him: "It seems that five hundred years ago, in my original body's previous life, the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal failed his rebirth. Otherwise, there would have been no shortage of his shadow throughout history. There could be two reasons for this. First, at that time, Fate Gu had not yet been completely destroyed. Second, Specter Demon Venerable had succeeded in refining the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu. All signs indicate he had already infiltrated the Heavenly Court at that time and seized control of the situation. He would never have tolerated someone like the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal being reborn."
With this thought, Wu Shuai let out a cold snort, and his mind turned.
ROAR!
The next instant, the Evil Dragon surged into motion.
Previously, the Evil Dragon had been hampered by the vast, raging currents of qi, its body riddled with wounds. But now, the entire Qi Cutoff Grotto-Heaven had been absorbed by the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal — a feat that was simply inconceivable.
Freed once more, the Evil Dragon rallied and lunged toward the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal.
This single lunge set boundless winds and clouds into turmoil.
The Evil Dragon's colossal body was like an entire mountain range shifting across the land, blotting out the sky.
Never mind the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal's small, childlike frame — even the magnificent Dragon Palace could not compare to the Evil Dragon's sheer size.
"Heh heh heh. A fine approach." In the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal's vision, Di Zangsheng filled nearly everything.
Yet he remained composed in the face of danger, even smiling leisurely.
He neither dodged nor retreated, simply extending a small hand and pressing it toward Di Zangsheng from a distance.
Immortal Path Killing Move — Grand Qi Grasp!
BOOM!
A thunderous roar erupted as boundless white qi surged from the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal's body, coalescing into a titanic five-fingered hand.
At first, the giant hand was only the size of a Gu Immortal House, but it immediately expanded, swelling to the proportions of a small hill. After three breaths, the entire qi hand had ballooned wildly, growing large enough to rival the Evil Dragon's head.
And the white qi hand was still growing!
Di Zangsheng had already charged in.
BANG.
The two collided violently. To the surprise of every immortal present, the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal's qi hand crumbled instantly under the impact, utterly shattered in a single blow.
Di Zangsheng maintained his speed, pressing onward toward the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal.
The Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal still did not dodge, watching Di Zangsheng's advance with a calm, unhurried gaze.
Di Zangsheng charged for only a few more breaths before his speed plummeted. Then he let out a furious roar, as though in tremendous pain.
"My Grand Qi Grasp can gather and disperse at will. When gathered, it can move mountains and seas. When dispersed, it can invade and seize the inner organs. How will you counter it?" the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal declared proudly.
The surrounding immortals were stunned.
With a single move, the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal had suppressed Di Zangsheng. This was genuine quasi-Supreme combat power!
"Another powerhouse of the Demonic Path!"
"Sigh — once Fate Gu was destroyed, the entire world was doomed to chaos."
"The Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal had been dead for over a million years. It's all because of that disaster Fang Yuan, who gave him the chance to be reborn!"
Within the Demon Slaying List, the Heavenly Court immortals gnashed their teeth, their expressions grim.
After the Fate War, the righteous were declining while the demonic were rising!
Dragon Lord, a pillar of the Heavenly Court, had fallen. Feng Jiuge, once regarded with great hope, had openly betrayed them. And Fang Yuan, the chief culprit behind Fate Gu's destruction, remained at large!
Now, the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal had appeared as well.
Alas! Every last Gu Immortal of the Heavenly Court felt that the prospects for the entire Gu Immortal world across the Five Regions and Two Heavens were utterly bleak.
It had never even occurred to them to try recruiting the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal.
Though historically he had been at odds with the Limitless Demon Venerable, there was absolutely no possibility of him aligning with the Righteous Path.
The Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal — the single character "Demon" in his title said it all. There had always been mistaken names, but never a mistaken nickname.
"Xiao Hejian, what exactly are you trying to do? You've invited such a fearsome enemy to our Two Heavens Alliance!" From within the Dragon Palace, the Ice Crystal Immortal King suddenly demanded.
Xiao Hejian could not refute this. His face turned pale.
He was filled with dread, and yet also relief. Thank goodness he had defected to the Two Heavens Alliance — had he tried to handle this on his own, he would likely have become the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal's first sacrifice after rebirth.
"This is a trap, and I am a victim too!" Xiao Hejian cried out in grievance.
"This is a trap — the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal's trap." At the same time, Wu Yong let out a sigh from within the Jade Clarity Drizzle Bamboo Tower.
Luo Zu marveled endlessly: "The Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal specializes in the Qi Path, and yet he could foresee events a million years into the future? What a terrifying level of attainment!"
Wu Yong frowned slightly, his gaze piercing through the Jade Clarity Drizzle Bamboo Tower to peer at the Dragon Palace from afar.
He had understood the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal's arrangement, but now a thread of doubt arose: did Wu Shuai know about this secret?
Recalling the earlier events, Wu Yong wondered — when Wu Shuai had been sending the Evil Dragon rampaging everywhere, had he been acting on impulse, simply relying on brute force, or had it been deliberate — an attempt to disrupt the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal's plan?
It was clear, after all, that it was precisely the Evil Dragon's rampage that had forced the Qi Cutoff Demon Immortal to emerge ahead of schedule.
