A True Immortal Appears
Chen Fan stepped into the Void, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
"Too slow."
A cold voice rang in the ears of the seven generals simultaneously.
The pupils of the golden-armored general leading the formation suddenly contracted, and he saw a thin, gray-red arc of blades hovering an inch in front of his neck.
"Boundary Severing."
Sizzle!
The blade flashed past.
The towering immortal armor and the indestructible True Immortal body were utterly shattered before this blade of light, which fused the will of Middle Martial God with the Origin Source chaotic gods and demons.
Three heads shot into the sky, their golden Divine Blood staining the white jade street in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Chen Fan's figure moved among the seven array eyes, like the Grim Reaper strolling leisurely.
With each swing of the blade, a high-ranking True Immortal Dao was cleaved in two.
Before the True Immortal essences and immortal Divine Souls that exploded in the sky could scatter and escape, they were torn apart in mid-air by the Tai Chi Millstone behind his head and swallowed into his belly as a rolling river.
"Monster! He's a world-destroying demon who climbed up from the Lower Realms!"
"Quickly! Ring the Nine-Heavens World-Shaking Bell!"
The two remaining divine generals were utterly terrified. Gone was the last trace of their former dignified and awe-inspiring demeanor. They dropped their ancient spears and scrambled toward the Heavenly Jade Steps behind the Southern Heavenly Gate, their divine bodies trembling like leaves.
Chen Fan did not give chase.
He gripped the knife in his backhand, walked barefoot across the celestial street soaked in Divine Blood, and stood before the golden-armored leader who had been the first to have his ancient spear crushed and slumped against a doorpost.
The deity, with most of his immortal bones shattered, stared in terror at the slowly approaching youth, his lips trembling violently.
"Who... who are you? This is the Celestial Court of the Supreme Sovereign! Thirty-six True Immortals are stationed here. If you dare take a single step, the Immortal Venerables will descend and surely extract your soul and refine your spirit..."
Chen Fan stopped and looked down at him, his expression completely unchanged.
"Ten breaths have passed."
Chen Fan lifted his bare foot and stepped down casually.
Boom!
This celestial general, at the Early True Immortal, didn't even have time to scream before his entire head, along with the Primordial Spirit and golden infant within his Niwan Palace, was crushed into nothingness and bloody mud by this single stomp.
Divine Blood splattered onto the iron gate of the Southern Heavenly Gate, sizzling as it fell.
Chen Fan flicked non-existent dust off his sleeves, his gaze passing over the blood-stained threshold and landing on the magnificent Heavenly Palace deep within the sea of clouds, where thirty-six vast beams of immortal Immortal Light faintly soared into the sky.
He could clearly sense that at the highest point of the entire Heavenly Court, dozens of powerful, ancient Divine Thoughts, some at the Late-Stage True Immortal and others at the peak, had awakened from their slumber and were crushing towards this place with overwhelming rage.
At the point where those Divine Thoughts converged, a faint Primordial Era medicinal fragrance wafted out, causing the "Myriad Realms Red Dust Scripture" within his body to tremble.
It was a divine tree rooted in the source of the Nine Heavens Spiritual Vein, bearing the innate energy of the Creation heaven and earth.
"Father, the elixir has been found."
Chen Fan gripped the Broken Saber, stepped over the severed limbs on the ground, and, facing the furious roars of the True Immortals raining down from the sky, kicked the tightly closed Southern Heavenly Gate shattered.
Boom!
The towering, ten-thousand-foot-high Nine Heavens Divine Iron Gate collapsed with a crash, smashing through the vast sea of clouds behind it.
The violent shockwaves caused by the collapse of the inner gate of Nantian had not yet subsided, and fragments of iron poured down like a torrential rain, piercing through layers of auspicious mist.
Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged as his bare feet trod upon the shattered divine iron on the ground. With each step, a faint ripple spread through the Void.
His Divine Thought was fixed on that distant, ethereal medicinal fragrance deep within the heavens.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, the thin thread of cause and effect connected by the "Myriad Realms Red Dust Scripture" was trembling violently.
On the Ziwei Emperor Star of the Cangwu Realm, Chen Changqing's life force was reduced to only half a day.
Time is running out.
Chen Fan had no time to appreciate the magnificent palaces and pavilions of this so-called immortal paradise. With a flicker, he transformed into a gray-white rainbow that tore through the sea of clouds, shrinking the distance to an inch, and headed straight for the core where spiritual energy was gathering.
Along the way, thousands of celestial soldiers and generals, wielding golden spears, were startled by the earth-shattering roar from the Southern Heavenly Gate and rose into the sky from various celestial islands.
However, when they saw the white-robed youth who had walked through the air, and the dripping Divine Blood of the eight True Immortal Generals still clinging to his body, everyone froze in place.
No one dared to step forward to stop them.
The sight of mortals in True Immortals was so bizarre that it sent Lower Realm the spines of these heavenly soldiers who usually regarded the Divine Soul realm as nothing more than ants.
In less than ten breaths, the sky in front of them suddenly opened up.
At the deepest part of the Nine Heavens Palace, there is not a magnificent palace, but a verdant plain suspended in the void and chaos.
In the middle of the field stands a Primordial Era giant tree that blocks out the sun.
The tree trunk resembled a coiled azure dragon, towering over ten thousand feet high, its entire body flowing with nine-colored celestial light and entwined with pure chaotic Longevity Immortal Qi.
Among the lush jade-green branches and leaves, dozens of fist-sized, crystal-clear Ninth-Turn Immortal Peaches, adorned with Daoist patterns of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, exude Origin Source fragrance that soothes the mind.
With just a breath of medicinal energy, the Life Formation Core of Chen Fan's Miniature Divine Kingdom within his Dantian cheered with joy, and even every cell of his chaotic divine and demonic body resonated greedily.
This is Deity Transformation capable of forcibly breaking the Heavenly Five Declines and extending life by Thirty Thousand Years.
A resolute glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes as he reached out to grab at the Void.
"Presumptuous!"
A deafening roar exploded across the chaotic plains.
A fiery trail, stretching for thousands of miles, tore through the Firmament. The protective barriers of the entire Flat Peach Immortal Garden hummed loudly, and endless crimson flames rose up, transforming into a fiery cloud barrier that Heaven-Burning and boiled the seas, ruthlessly blocking the way forward.
Amidst the surging sea of fire, a figure clad in a Vermilion Bird Fiery Immortal Robe materialized.
The man wore a seven-star Daoist crown, his red beard fluttered, and his eyes were like two rotating infernos of the earth. The powerful laws of a Mid-Stage True Immortal spread out without reservation, burning the surrounding space into nothingness.
The Celestial Court of the Supreme Sovereign, the Redflame True Immortal.
Redflame True Immortal looked down at Chen Fan, his gaze sweeping over Chen Fan's blood-stained clothes. His face twitched violently, and his chilling killing intent almost materialized.
"That filthy creature that crawled up from the Lower Realm dared to slaughter a divine general and defile the Innate Flat Peach Mother Tree!"
The Redflame True Immortal strode forward, his imposing aura shattering the clouds for thousands of miles, his voice shaking the heavens.
"In my Thirty Thousand Years of overseeing the Heavenly Court's Medicine Garden, I have never seen such a reckless and arrogant fool! Today, I will extract your Divine Soul to light lamps and strip your flesh and bones to use as fertilizer, only then can I atone for even a fraction of your transgression against Heaven's majesty!"
His words carried an air of superiority, as if his pronouncements were the law of nature.
However, the white-clad youth standing a hundred feet away didn't even glance at him.
Chen Fan simply stared at the most plump divine fruit on the peach tree, and the rusty broken Broken Saber at his waist silently unsheathed half an inch.
"Noisy."
The two words uttered were icy cold, devoid of any human warmth.
Redflame True Immortal's pupils suddenly contracted, and an absurd and incomparable rage rose in his heart.
For countless millennia, even the Great Vehicle powerful beings who Ascension from the Lower Realms would kneel before him in the dust and respectfully address him as "Ancestor."
How dare a mere mortal cultivator, barely out of his teens, utter such nonsense to him?
