At the back of the Cloud Tribe Sect.
An elder was sitting properly on a futon.
His skin was wrinkled. His figure looked dehydrated. Even his hair was dried like weeds. He looked like a dying, dried tree.
The elder was covered in dust. He was barely breathing. If you got closer, you would smell a decaying stench.
Those were the symptoms of the Five Decays.
Once they became an Immortal, they would shed their old skin to have a clean one. Dust would naturally fall off their skin. Even if Immortals walked barefoot in the dirt, their skin would not be dirty at all.
However, once they have the Five Decays, they no longer have clean skin.
The first sign of the Five Decays was old and torn clothes. The second sign was dried hair. The third sign was sweaty armpits. The fourth sign was a smelly and dirty body. The fifth sign was having no signs of life as if it was a natural death.
He had crossed legs. He was squinting. His mouth moved as if he was having a conversation with someone.
On a closer look, there was a puny black dot in front of him. It was a tiny black mosquito.
The mosquito flew around the elder. Then, it slowly landed on his neck. It easily pierced his skin with its mouth.
Then, the wrinkly skin of the elder started to relax and tighten. The decaying stench was gone. He looked energetic again.
The elder looked excited. He said, “Thank you, Immortal, for blessing me with a new life.”
The mosquito said, “We failed but you did a great job. I just gave you five hundred years. Next up is a new mission. If you also do it well, you can have another five hundred years!”
The elder was overjoyed. He hurriedly said, “Yes, sir!”
Suddenly, the Big Elder hurriedly ran over. His calm façade was crumbled. He said frantically, “Taishang Elder, it’s bad, it’s bad! The enemy is upon us!”
The Big Elder actually had a grudge against the Taishang Elder.
He thought the behavior of the Taishang Elder was nonsense. ‘Was it not nice to chat, brag, be cool and awesome? Isn’t it nice to live for thousands of years?
‘Why did he have to face the unknown?
‘What is the purpose, man?’
The Big Elder thought that the Taishang Elder was out of his mind. However, the Cloud Tribe Sect was at the edge of damnation, they were under attack!
‘Now that the Sect Master is gone, how can we fight them?’
“Why are you panicking?” sneered the Taishang Elder. He was very calm, he said in a calm voice, “I’m here. The Cloud Tribe Sect is going to be fine!”
“But the Sect Master is dead, we…”
The Big Elder did not finish his sentence. He looked at the Taishang Elder with extreme shock. He felt tongue-tied. “Taishang Elder, you, you…”
He became young. The Taishang Elder became younger!
Although he still looked like an old man, his skin was flourishing and glowing.
Taishang Elder smilingly looked at the Big Elder. He said coldly, “Ha, so the Sect Master dead. It’s not a big deal. You should know, the Cloud Tribe Sect relies on me!
“Let’s go, take me to the enemies.”
“Yes, yes.”
Outside of the Cloud Tribe Sect.
Clouds slowly flew in from afar. Daji looked calm. She looked forward with her pretty eyes. A creepy aura slowly covered the Cloud Tribe Sect.
Most of them rode on clouds. Only one of them rode on a flying sword. The sword was fast, and he was laughing maniacally. He could not wait to attack the Cloud Tribe Sect.
He was riding on a flying sword with black robes on. He was unstoppable.
He…was Xiao Chengfeng.
“Kids of the Cloud Tribe Sect, come out and meet me, Xiao Chengfeng. Hurry up and bow down to me!”
His voice was loud, kind of like thunder. It matched his lightning-like sword. He was like a holy Sword Immortal.
Kaboom!
A literal thunder replied to him!
Lightning struck down from the sky like a shiny silver snake and came down on Xiao Chengfeng.
Xiao Chengfeng squared up and cast a spell. A long sword figure appeared in front of him. It was just as fast as the lightning. It swooshed through the sky.
It clashed with the lightning when it was visible again. It created a loud boom.
Xiao Chengfeng was smug. “That’s it? Come on!”
A cold, old voice was heard within the Cloud Tribe Sect. “You foolish kid. When I ruled the Above Immortal Realm, you weren’t even born yet!”
Xiao Chengfeng levitated in mid-air. He roasted, “You’re right, because at that time I was too busy being your daddy! What’s up, now that you’re a Taiyi Golden Immortal, you don’t recognize your daddy anymore?”
“Die!!!”
He yelled in the Cloud Tribe Sect. A neon blue Lightning Dragon was formed in the sky with crackling noises. It was in front of Xiao Chengfeng in a flash.
Xiao Chengfeng wanted to dodge it but the Lightning Dragon swiped its tail to whip him.
The lightning hit the longsword. Xiao Chengfeng spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was numb and charred.
Then, the Lightning Dragon opened its mouth. It was about to devour Xiao Chengfeng.
Xiao Chengfeng was reduced in speed. He fled while yelling, “Save me, Brother Urchin!”
“Sigh, I don’t actually want to save you.”
Urchin sighed. He transformed into a dragon and protected Xiao Chengfeng. He clashed with the Lightning Dragon.
Then, he turned back into human form again. He frowned.
He could feel that the Lightning Dragon…was very powerful.
“Who gave you all the courage to mess with Cloud Tribe Sect?”
Taishang Elder levitated on top of the Cloud Tribe Sect. His demeanor was cool and his robes were flowing in the wind. He looked powerful.
The disciples of the Cloud Tribe Sect suddenly felt hopeful at that cool appearance. They stopped panicking and even felt excited.
“That’s Taishang Elder?”
“I’ve been in this sect for five thousand years. I have only heard of him but never saw him before. Who knew he was so awesome?”
“Our sect has such a secretive bigshot. We will surely win.”
Urchin and Xiao Chengfeng backed up at the same time. They looked at Taishang Elder with seriousness.
“Han Mofeng?”
Goddess Ziye furrowed her brows. She was mystified. “You’re not dead?”
Han Mofeng laughed. “Goddess Ziye, you’re older than I am. You’re not dead too either, right?”
Ziye frowned. “You know me?”
Han Mofeng replied, “You’re the Seventh Princess of the Heavenly Palace. Of course I’m familiar with you!”
Everyone looked at Ziye weirdly, including Xiao Chengfeng. He knew she was from the Heavenly Palace, but he did not expect her to be a princess.
“Who told you so?” Ziye had glints in her eyes. “Since you knew who I am, you should know that you don’t deserve to talk to me. Let me talk to your boss!”
“If the Heavenly Palace still exists, I will agree with that statement. However, it’s a new generation now!”
Han Mofeng smirked. “Moreover, my boss is unimaginably powerful. You don’t deserve to meet my boss.”
“Ha, nonsense!”
Xiao Chengfeng laughed. He proudly lifted his head, “Do you know who our boss is? Our boss is a Godly expert, he can scare you to death!”
“Ridiculous, my boss is the best!”
Han Mofeng sneered, “We should compare the abilities of our bosses!”
“There’s no point talking that much. Kill him!”
Daji pointed at Han Mofeng to attack him!
Her Xuan Water Bracelet shined like a halo. It flew away from her hand and became a huge silver ring. It rolled toward Han Mofeng!
Meanwhile, the Xuanyin Immortal Water came out from the Xuan Water Bracelet like wild ocean waves. As if it was an angry dragon, as if a tsunami, about to devour the Cloud Tribe Sect.
“Be in spell formation!”
Han Mofeng cast a spell. A neon blue light appeared on top of the Cloud Tribe Sect. Then, the light spread and covered the area. Electricity was suddenly at every corner.
Sizzle!
The lightning struck the Xuanyin Immortal Water. It splashed everywhere.
At the same time, the lightning also continuously struck at everyone.
Daji frowned and said, “Delay him. The Fire Phoenix and I will break the spell!”
“One Leaf Blindfold!”
Immortal Linzhu took her leaf out. It grew with the wind like a green ribbon. It wrapped up Han Mofeng.
Urchin and Ziye went after Han Mofeng at the same time.
Daji looked at the sky. She reached out and swiped on the Xuan Water Bracelet.
Then, the Xuanyin Immortal Water became countless water snakes. They slithered toward all directions and gradually froze.
From afar, it looked like a long, icy ribbon across the realm. It gleamed. It was extremely majestic.
The ice kept growing with the Xuanyin Immortal Water. The lightning attacks were powerless.
Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped. Snowflakes were floating in the sky. Even the Immortals felt cold.
The spell was half frozen. It slowed down like it was about to break.
“Watch this!”
The Fire Phoenix was on fire. A fire lotus quickly formed around her. The fire lotus spun fast with golden fire at its center. Then, it attacked the center of the spell!
Kaboom!
The Fire Lotus smashed the air. A layer of cracks started to appear. Then, it shattered like a mirror.
“This…”
The Big Elder who was battling Xiao Chengfeng was stunned. His eyes almost popped out of his skull.
‘What’s happening? The spell was activated for how long? It broke in seconds?
‘That was the Endless Lightning Spell that could trap a Taiyi Golden Immortal to death. It is known for having no weaknesses. How can the opponents break it in seconds?’
“Losing focus while battling me? It seems like you are not a good opponent!”
Xiao Chengfeng sneered and pointed at the Big Elder. His point became a sword, “Sword Point, take this slaughter!”
Spurt!
The Big Elder spat out a lot of blood. He fell from the sky like a kite with snapped ties.
Daji and the others went after Han Mofeng.
“You dare fight us on your own?” Urchin laughed, “Say it, who’s your boss?”
“He’s not on his own, we are here!”
A few figures shined out of thin air. They had a menacing aura. Daji and the others stopped in their tracks.
Then, five figures rode in slowly on clouds.
The five people all had Immortal Qi on them. They had not released it yet but it was already overwhelming.
Everyone went silent.
Mainly because it was too stunning.
Five other Taiyi Golden Immortals!
The Above Immortal Realm had been quiet for years. They had never seen a crowd like that. That team was extremely majestic.
Ziye frowned hard. She felt heavy. “Another bunch of old dudes who should be dead by now.”
They had five Taiyi Golden Immortals in total on their side. Ziye, Linzhu, the Fire Phoenix, Urchin, and Ye Liuyun.
Daji and Xiao Chengfeng were Expert Golden Immortals. The rest of them were allies, a few Golden Immortals too but they were not as strong.
Most importantly, including Han Mofeng, the six Taiyi Golden Immortals on their side were made up of three Experts and three Intermediates. Their level was much higher than theirs.
They thought they were sure to win. They did not expect the turn of events.
Immortal Linzhu flinched. She asked meekly, “Sis… Sister Ziye, I won’t pay with my life because of something I ate, right?”
She already took out a few oranges while talking. She stuffed them into her mouth.
Chew.
She mumbled, “I have to eat all the delicious saved food. The worst thing in life is still having delicious food when you die.”
“The Seventh Princess of the Heavenly Palace, the Dragons, the Fire Phoenix, and the Nine-Tailed Fox. Damn, the victims of the big tribulation.”
A tall and slim elder smiled and said in a hoarse voice, “Our boss wants me to give you all a message. Hurry up and turn around, switch to our side. We can spare extinction of your species!”
“Hey, aren’t you missing someone? I’m here, the sword cultivator, Xiao Chengfeng!” Xiao Chengfeng jumped out with an unhappy face. “Are you guys ignoring me?”
The tall and slim elder glanced at Xiao Chengfeng. He did not acknowledge him.
He said, “If you all are trying to rebuild the Heavenly Palace, wanting to recreate the eldritch eras, forget about it. It is common knowledge that once the balance is broken, you all cannot afford to bear the consequences!”
Ziye asked, “Why?”
The elder smiled creepily, he replied, “Our era right now is named the Absolute Era! A few Saints opposed it and then they died. Is this a good enough reason for you?”
Ziye was shocked. However, she said through her teeth, “I won’t dare in the past, however, now…I want to try it.”
The tall and slim elder looked at the others. “What about you guys?”
Daji replied calmly, “All I can say is your question is very dumb.”
The elder laughed. He said cruelly, “Then… die!”
Boom!
Everyone attacked at the same time.
The sky was covered by endless light. Powers were everywhere. The Power of Law was swaying in the air. The sky even started to crack. An endless strong wind blew.
It was just the first wave of attack. But it erupted like a volcano. The surrounding area was destroyed.
The Cloud Tribe Sect was abolished like it was paper.
Some lucky disciples that survived were scared out of their souls. They ran and fled with all their might.
Ice, fire, lightning, wind, flying swords, Immortal Items…
Everyone was doing their most. It was like fireworks in the sky. The huge crater beneath them kept expanding. The nearby mountains were obliterated!
Everyone in the Above Immortal Realm felt anxious. They were uneasy.
However, their enemies were prepared. They had their items too. Their items were also better. Daji and the others were at a disadvantage.
Clang!
Xiao Chengfeng was suddenly flushed. He ran his hands across his longsword and spat a mouthful of blood on it.
The longsword instantly shined. There was a sharp aura in the air. The area was surrounded by millions of swords. The swords would instantly be turned to ash once they were near any spells from the opponents.
“Go, I got this!” Xiao Chengfeng roared. His longsword was instantly turned to endless sword figures. It rained down on the opponents like a meteor shower!
“No you don’t, I’m with you!” yelled Urchin. He transformed into a pale dragon. His huge body could protect three people.
Xiao Chengfeng said, “You don’t get it, that fella ignored me just now. I naturally have to show him how powerful I am! I am going to go solo today and end six Taiyi Golden Immortals on my own. It will be legendary, don’t ruin it for me. Hurry up and leave!”
Urchin chuckled, “Lady Daji has to be safe. I have to stay for extra safety! You can’t take all the credit!”
“Leave? How naïve!”
The tall and slim elder smirked coldly. “None of you are leaving today!”
He had a golden rope in his arm. He tossed it at Daji.
Suddenly, the rope slithered like a snake. It went after Daji.
The rope was not fast but it was odd. It seemed unstoppable. It ignored every incoming spell and went toward its target.
Ziye realized and quickly said, “That’s the Immortal Trap Rope! Lady Daji, run!”
She tossed her hair accessory at the rope but it was blocked by someone else.
Daji raised her eyebrows. She froze the Immortal Trap Rope with her Xuanyin Immortal Water from her Xuan Water Bracelet.
However, the Immortal Trap Rope broke free in three seconds. It continued swimming toward her like a parasite.
Daji had a light shield around her. The Immortal Trap Rope could not get close to her. However, the light shield was visibly fading.
“The Immortal Trap Rope will not stop unless it traps its target. It also has power binding properties. Once trapped, even Daluo Golden Immortals could not escape!”
The masterful elder chuckled, “Since the lady has a special status, she will be our best bargaining chip as our hostage!”
“Sister!”
The little fox was worried sick. She wanted to seduce the rope, but the ropes did not have any feelings at all.
Daji was pale. She felt like she was in extreme danger. Her nine tails swayed behind her. She showed her true form. She leaped away on all fours. No one could visibly see her.
However, the Immortal Trap Rope chased after her. It was about to get Daji.
Han Mofeng laughed. He mocked everyone, “It seems like your expert is not that big of a deal. You are all one step behind!”
Buzz!
Suddenly, a powerful aura appeared out of thin air. The aura was not overwhelming, but they felt fearful respect.
A light shined on Daji on her chest area. The shine was not blinding, it was quite subtle.
However, the Immortal Trap Rope went soft when it touched the light. It fell to the ground like it was a normal rope.
“That…”
Everyone was perplexed.
“Sculpture?”
No one could believe their eyes, especially the tall and slim elder. They looked like they were in disbelief.
His facial expression was twisted. “How is this possible? What kind of Immortal Item is that?!”
“Leftover Powers? Signs of Wisdom?”
Han Mofeng started to feel his skin crawl. His hair stood on end. What happened in front of him was beyond his knowledge.
The Immortal Trap Rope was a Superior Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. It was a tried-and-true useful item, it was incredibly powerful. How did it go soft because of a sculpture?
Meanwhile, the Phoenix sculpture that the Fire Phoenix wore on her chest was also flickering. It was as if the two sculptures were communicating.
The two sculptures slowly flew out and levitated above Daji and the Fire Phoenix. A mysterious aura was emitted. It was as if everything stopped.
Then, Daji and the Fire Phoenix became visibly powerful. The sculptures helped them become twice as powerful!
“This is impossible. How can this be?”
The tall and slim elder stared with wide eyes. His forehead had a cold sweat. He leaned backward then fled as fast as he could.
‘Unimaginable, incredible!”
‘These people are too good at hiding their real abilities!’
Daji and the Fire Phoenix looked at each other. They temporarily put aside their feelings of respect and admiration. They focused and chased after the elder!
Xiao Chengfeng stepped on his longsword and rode on it. He yelled smugly, “Why are you running? Seems like your boss is not that big of a deal!”
Han Mofeng and the others have no time to acknowledge him. They were trying their best to escape.
However, their speed was reduced because of the One Leaf Blindfold Spell by Immortal Linzhu.
Daji looked as cold as ever. She stepped out and was behind the tall and slim elder.
The tall and slim elder attacked but it had no effects on the sculpture defense. Even his items would lose their shine once it was near the sculpture. The light shield from the sculpture was the most solid light shield in history. Nothing could break it!
He felt truly helpless.
The masterful elder was deranged. He yelled, “We are all hard working cultivators here, why the ruthless extermination?”
Daji replied with a spell. Endless Xuanyin Immortal Water covered him. He turned into a running ice statue in an instant!
