The Grandmaster Battle Ends [Two Chapters Combined]

Beyond the vast plateau, the long night continued, shrouded in Black Mist.

However, a shocking change occurred: one after another, thick beams of light appeared, tearing through the dark sky.

In the sky, it looked as if many meteors were piercing the night, shattering the thick clouds!

People were horrified; their bodies froze.

Because the outer areas of the plateau are as bright as day.

All of this was caused by a crimson sun exploding deep in the plateau, its fragments flying in all directions.

Cao Qianqiu exploded, like the Solar Yang disintegrating, not only making the entire plateau extremely blinding, but also illuminating the surrounding areas.

His Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light like real meteorites, carrying long tails that stretched across the Sky Curtain, even scattering the clouds on the horizon.

At this moment, the night sky was clear and bright.

This was a Grandmaster Level powerhouse on the Immortal Path. After being blasted apart, every wisp of his Consciousness Spirit Light swooped down like a comet into the night sky, a truly magnificent and terrifying sight.

Cao Qianqiu was in excruciating pain; his consciousness had been shattered, causing him to experience the agony of being torn to pieces. How could the so-called Pure Yang Immortality come without a price?

Moreover, he was attacked by five Ancestor, and some of his Consciousness Spirit Light was permanently lost, resulting in heavy losses.

He roared, his main consciousness reappeared, and he quickly condensed Pure Yang Spirit Light.

Because if his Pure Yang fragments are not combined, it will be even more dangerous.

The five Ancestor of the New Life Path, undefeated in countless battles and exceptionally experienced, immediately intercepted those Consciousness Spirit Light, intending to eliminate them one by one.

Beyond the vast plateau, at the edge of the dark sky, all the clouds and mist broke apart, and beams of light flew back the way they came.

Cao Qianqiu reappears, his Pure Yang Consciousness reconstructing his body.

At this moment, Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan were both doing their best to block the Ancestor of the New Life Path for him.

"Fairy Yu, we must do our best now. If something happens to Lao Cao, the problem will be extremely serious," Sun Taichu transmitted his voice.

He abandoned his usual calm demeanor, now stepping on immortal runes, unleashing beams of light that pierced through the heavens and earth as he fought with all his might.

Zhao Wenhan spoke up, "Gentlemen, let's stop. Continuing to fight like this is not beneficial; it's just causing serious internal strife."

Sun Taichu nodded and said, "If there are any grudges, we can see who has the better methods when we Great Wilderness Expansion. Then, when we deal with external enemies, we can settle the score and determine the winner. Wouldn't it be better if the loser accepted the punishment?"

Lu Yu spoke up, "You speak very nicely, but when Cao Qianqiu blocked the New Life Path and stifled Heavenly Prodigy, why didn't you stand up and say these things?"

Standing tall in Sky-Pillar sky, Heavenly Light in the surging light of a burning ocean, he declared, "That bastard Cao Qianqiu, either kill him or cripple him! How can we allow him to continue causing harm!"

As he spoke, he had already arrived, his strength seemingly capable of lifting the heavens, his style fierce and unruly, wielding a giant axe to chop down enemies.

The Present Tathagata silent, but instead slapped out a giant hand, demonstrating his reasoning through concrete actions.

Cao Qianqiu's face was gloomy. The Ancestor of the New Life Path were all more "tyrannical" than the last, always threatening to kill him or cripple him. Did they really think he could be manipulated so easily?

At this moment, his body emitted a dazzling light and clanged, and countless immortal runes transformed into Nine-Colored Armor that covered his body.

At the same time, a nine-colored spear appeared in his right hand and a light shield appeared in his left hand, both of which were filled with a large number of golden symbols and constructed with Pure Yang Power.

He donned his armor, gripped his spear, and launched a full-scale attack!

However, several Ancestor preferred to withstand the attacks of Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan rather than harm him, and in an instant, they shattered his Nine-Colored Armor.

The Sky-Pillar struck down, cracking his shield before it exploded.

With a series of powerful strikes from the Present Tathagata's hand, Cao Qianqiu's Nine-Colored Armor quickly disintegrated.

Jiang Zhiyuan, the abbot of the Yin Yang Temple, punched Lao Cao in the back, causing his chest to bulge and swell, leaving a huge Fist Print.

Snap!

Cao Qianqiu's nine-colored spear was broken in two by the giant axe that could Sky-Pillar.

With a soft thud, the giant axe continued its momentum, cleaving into his chest and colliding with the protruding Fist Print. Instantly, Axe Light and Black and White Light exploded at that spot.

Cao Qianqiu groaned as his entire chest was pierced, exploding open and splattering with Pure Yang Blood.

At the same time, the Present Tathagata's giant hand struck, causing cracks all over his body and making him cough up blood continuously.

The Jade Purity Ancestor appeared, and with a swing of his pure white Measuring Heaven Ruler, half of Cao Qianqiu's body shattered, his left shoulder exploded, and his arm was severed off.

The Six Sovereigns guards arrived, some smashing out their imperial seals, others offering up jade tablets, and still others throwing punches and kicks, all striking Lao Cao's body.

In an instant, Cao Qianqiu exploded on the spot again.

In such a short period of time, he disintegrated several times, and his Consciousness Spirit Light were severely damaged.

Cao Qianqiu has already lost 20% of his Pure Yang Origin!

Even the so-called immortality has its limits. How could he not suffer losses from constantly exploding? Each time he exploded, a portion of his Pure Yang Consciousness was severed.

Cao Qianqiu was horrified; if this continued, he would really be crippled.

Now, his hair was disheveled, his Consciousness Spirit Light was burning, and a blood-red Great Sun covered his body; he was in a state of desperate struggle.

Not only was he fighting fiercely, but Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan had also already used their most secret techniques to help Cao Qianqiu save his life.

Outside the plateau, many people went from being shocked to numb, and were somewhat lost in thought.

The arrogant Cao Qianqiu was repeatedly blown up, exploding there, something that would have been unimaginable in the past.

On the New Life Path, both the older generation and the young disciples were in high spirits, feeling incredibly relieved and as if they had finally gotten their revenge.

In the past, Cao Qianqiu was like a dark cloud hanging over their hearts, unshakable, but now it has dissipated.

"Fairy Yu, it's time for you to use your sect's trump card. If Lao Cao dies, neither of our paths will be able to end peacefully!" Sun Taichu said solemnly in the shadows.

Although Cao Qianqiu is disliked, he is the best sword on the Immortal Path.

In the past, he did a lot of dirty and tiring work.

He absolutely cannot die today. Otherwise, the Immortal Path will lose face, and if our own faction doesn't save him, what will become of our cohesion?

If Cao Qianqiu dies, the Immortal Path will need to retaliate in kind, which would mean fighting the New Life Path to the death.

Two paths clashing in a bloody battle—this is the struggle for the Dao, and it will become increasingly dangerous; countless Grandmaster Level figures will perish.

If that happens, Esoteric Sect will probably be laughing all the way to the bank.

At the same time, this is not good news for pioneering deeper into the Night Mist World, as it represents a loss of top-tier combat power within the human race.

Therefore, Sun Taichu, Zhao Wenhan and others wanted to do everything they could to ensure that Cao Qianqiu did not die here. This would be good for the New Life Path, the Immortal Path, and the Secret Path, and everyone would benefit, without having to fight each other to the death.

The Fifth Ancestor the New Life Path battle against the Fourth Ancestor of the Immortal Path!

Cao Qianqiu, having suffered repeated heavy blows, was no longer at his peak. Now, being bombarded by the Tathagata's Giant Hand, he was cracked from head to toe and was about to collapse again.

Sun Taichu, Zhao Wenhan, and Yu Shaohua were all shocked, because the five Ancestor of the New Life Path always attacked with a desperate attitude.

When these five attacked the three of them, they spared no effort, always going head-to-head and not caring about damaging their own essence.

Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan frowned. Had these people gone mad?

Aren't these five men old, decaying, and unable to withstand many more major battles? How dare they do this!

Even if Lu Yu were to fight Sun Taichu head-on, he would still have to use his Six Sovereigns Avatars to tear Cao Qianqiu apart, making him furious beyond measure.

Cao Qianqiu felt a chill in his heart; thirty percent of his Pure Yang Consciousness had been permanently eliminated!

"You little brat Cao, do you still dare to be so arrogant? When you were kicking down other people's dojos and killing outstanding juniors, did you ever think about this day?" The Sky Bearing Ancestor said, blocking Zhao Wenhan with his giant axe in his right hand and slapping Cao Qianqiu hard with his left.

Meanwhile, Jade Purity Ancestor blocked Yu Shaohua, Lu Yu stopped Sun Taichu, and Jiang Zhiyuan and the Present Tathagata jointly attacked Cao Qianqiu.

Lao Cao was cut in two by the Black and White Light, and then shattered into Pure Yang blood rain by the Tathagata Seal!

Cao Qianqiu trembled with fear. When he tried to regroup, he discovered that his Pure Yang Consciousness was only 60% remaining. If this continued, he would be completely ruined.

If people find out, forty percent of his cultivation will have vanished. What good days will he have left?

He made many enemies in his life, and those who were still alive were all tough nut to crack. If he were to become weak, the consequences would be unimaginable, unless he never left the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land again.

He was Cao Bubai; to fade into obscurity like this is not his style.

At that moment, he thought of a method he had jokingly mentioned before, but never had the chance to practice it. Had things really come to such a tragic end?

Was he going to embark on a path of destruction and rebuilding together with his disciple Li Qingxu?

Thinking about these things, he became extremely agitated. It was a helpless choice for a useless person, and to him, it was an utter disgrace!

He is Cao Qianqiu, how could he have fallen to such a state?

Putting aside the various difficulties and obstacles along the way, even if he were to achieve something, he would have to lie low for many years to come, and in that state, he would not dare to emerge in the early stages.

For Cao Qianqiu, who was once arrogant and domineering, the thought of the cold words and ridicule from the world was more painful than death.

With a deafening roar, pure Pure Yang blood rained down from the sky, and he exploded once more. He sadly realized that even if he wanted to take the Destruction-and-Rebirth Path, it would be difficult; his priority now was to survive.

Cao Qianqiu was furious. He hated Sky-Pillar the most and had once had an impulse to take that venomous old bastard with him on his way.

However, he rushed forward several times, only to be thwarted by the harsh reality.

Aside from taking a few more slaps, he didn't hurt his opponent at all. Now, with only 60% of his Pure Yang Origin consciousness remaining, he couldn't defeat any of the Ancestor on the New Life Path.

"You little brat, you're stronger than your teacher. You took nine slaps from me. You've got some nerve!" Sky-Pillar laughed loudly.

This is an absolute and blatant humiliation. This burly man had beaten Cao Qianqiu's master before, and now he's targeting him again, making Lao Cao furious and truly unable to tolerate it.

Cao Qianqiu's eyes were icy cold; Sky-Pillar's words had provoked him.

He had spent his entire life crushing others and watching other powerful figures struggle helplessly. He never imagined that he would be repeatedly and severely injured, and even ridiculed like this. He now understood the feelings of those opponents.

It wasn't that Sun Taichu, Zhao Wenhan, and the others didn't offer assistance, but rather that the Ancestor of the New Life Path were fighting to the death, leaving both of them terrified.

Because even their mouths were bleeding.

Similarly, some of the Ancestor on the New Life Path were also injured, but they didn't care at all. They seemed to have no concern about such injuries, and their fighting spirit was even stronger. Their eyes were shining, and they wished they could be bathed in blood and suffer even more serious injuries.

What was the reasoning behind this? Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan were completely baffled.

Those people were already old and frail, so why were they acting so recklessly like young people? Weren't they afraid of wasting their lifespans?

At this moment, all four Ancestor of the Immortal Path, including Cao Qianqiu, were deeply shaken.

Could it be that the Ancestor of the New Life Path have found a way to prolong life?

Or has a new Ancestor emerged on this path, surpassing his predecessors and solving the predicament of a lack of successors on the New Life Path? The shortage of successors is no longer a problem.

Or perhaps these old guys are taking things a step further and pioneering new paths? Is their current bloody battle preparing for a rebirth?!

"You brat, didn't you arrogantly want us to bow down and become the strongmen of the Immortal Path Ancestor? With such meager skills, what are you pretending to be so important about!"

The very down-to-earth Sky Bearing Ancestor fulfilled his duty of speaking for Cao Qianqiu perfectly, and continued to chop at him with his giant axe.

Lao Cao may be arrogant, but he is absolutely calm in battle. However, he is now almost choked to death by this guy and is really angry. This old guy keeps poking at his heart and lungs.

He Soul Stabilizing Bell with his Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light. Ten thousand runes bloomed, sealing Sky-Pillar inside the bell and burning it without regard for the consequences, refining its soul.

However, with a clang, the bell shattered, smashed by Sky-Pillar's giant axe, and he charged out, simultaneously delivering a devastating blow to Qingtian's skull.

"You'd be more suited to be my pageboy!" Sky-Pillar said.

This time, Cao Qianqiu was also bombarded by the Yin Yang Diagram, the Tathagata Finger, and the Jade Clarity Light at the same time. The special Heavenly Light force fields of the three Ancestor distorted space and time.

Lao Cao shattered again, and he was horrified to discover that he only had 50% of his Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light remaining.

This has already crossed the line!

Even with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, his chances are slim.

"Old Sun, Wenhan, Fairy Yu, you guys hold them off for me!" Cao Qianqiu was actually furious and extremely dissatisfied with the three of them, but he couldn't vent his anger because he was counting on them for now.

In fact, Lao Cao had already lost the ability to fight.

Right now, he's so fragile that he'd be blown up on the spot no matter which Ancestor he encountered!

It's not that Cao Qianqiu isn't strong enough. In fact, the fact that he's been able to hold on until now is enough to prove how terrifying he is. The five Ancestor mainly came out of seclusion to train him, so he has every reason to be proud.

"Do you think there's no one on my Immortal Path?" At that moment, a low shout came from the distance, and two dazzling lights burst forth, moving across the sky as fast as if they were traversing time and space.

In the blink of an eye, they traversed the vast expanse of land and sky, moving from outside the plateau into the heart of the battlefield and arriving directly at the scene.

Without a doubt, two more Ancestor have arrived on the Immortal Path.

In this way, a total of six patriarchs were present on the Immortal Path, one more than on the New Life Path.

However, considering that Cao Qianqiu is now half-crippled and no longer poses a threat, the two sides are roughly equal in strength, resulting in a somewhat balanced situation.

Lu Yu said, "Who do we have here? Qian Jingxing from the Immortal Land, Wu Zhaoye from the Calamity Land? Didn't you go with the old monster to the Fourth Forbidden Land to dig for people?"

"You two, the New Life Path doesn't take us seriously. We must fight to the death today!" Cao Qianqiu secretly transmitted his voice, unable to swallow this insult.

In fact, the two newcomers were indeed quite hot- Ancestor, after all, they were relatively "young" and in the prime of their lives, when they were making great strides.

"Kill!"

The two men didn't Say More before starting to fight.

Cao Qianqiu sadly discovered that he had become an outsider and could no longer get involved, because he had almost broken apart again just as he had rushed in.

"Ah..." he growled. In the past, he had always been the absolute center of attention, no matter the occasion. Was he now about to retire from the stage of history?

Heavenly Dao, "You two brats are birds of a feather with Cao Qianqiu. Stop your nonsense! You want the founder of a sect seeking New Life Path to power as your bodyguard? You're asking for a beating!"

The situation on the battlefield changed dramatically. No one expected that two more Ancestor would arrive, and the battle quickly escalated to a fever pitch.

Because the latter two belonged to the radical faction and wanted to fight first and then discuss the consequences.

However, Qian Jingxing from the Immortal Land and Wu Zhaoye from the Calamity Land were alarmed to discover that these old guys were reckless. Every time they clashed with them, they went all out, completely unafraid of the potential dangers of their lifespans, and each time they expended enormous energy.

In fact, the older guys became increasingly ferocious as the fight went on, their morale seemingly rising higher and higher, their fighting spirit bursting forth.

Within moments, everyone had blood at the corner of their mouths, and every Ancestor from both sides was injured.

"Are they crazy?" Qian Jingxing asked Sun Taichu in confusion.

Sun Taichu's expression was solemn as he transmitted his voice, "I suspect that one of the Ancestor of the New Life Path has pioneered a new path, found a way to move forward again, and may be putting it into practice now. They need this kind of battle."

"Gentlemen, let's stop here!" Zhao Wenhan said. He didn't want to grant their wish and wanted to know the other party's true situation.

"You think you can just stop like that? Let's fight first!"

"Furthermore, Cao Qianqiu has not been deposed yet!"

This was the response from the Ancestor of the New Life Path; he showed no intention of giving up.

Moreover, the men fought even more desperately, dragging the others down with them, treating it as a life-or-death struggle, as if they were going to die with the enemy.

"I... hiss!"

Qian Jingxing and Wu Zhaoye are both injured, and seriously so, putting them in a difficult position.

"Puff!"

Suddenly, Qian Jingxing's head was struck by a blade of light and shattered. Although he quickly recovered, the hairs on his head still stood on end.

The fact that there was a sixth Ancestor on the New Life Path was not only beyond his expectations, but also a great surprise to everyone else!

"This is the Heavenly Light Force recorded in the <Intercepting Heaven Strategy>. Wasn't the Ancestor of this lineage long ago?!" Even Sun Taichu usually seemed the most gentle, had a moment of cold expression.

They all calmed down. If they fought to the bitter end on both paths, even if there were more experts on the Immortal Path, the result would still be a terrible mutual destruction. Someone would try to drag them down with them.

Three or four Ancestor might offer a chance to trap them, but six would be terrifying.

At this point, they were inclined to stop fighting and cease hostilities; it would be better to sit down and talk things over.

With a bang, Cao Qianqiu shattered once again!

Outside the plateau, someone else went to challenge Lu Zizai, and unsurprisingly, they were defeated.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming also fought another battle and defeated another Immortal Seed.

At this point, the grassland fell completely silent, and no one dared to go forward to fight.

Many people are unsettled; is New Life Path about to rise to prominence?

Three generations, old, middle-aged and young, all showed extraordinary performance and achieved amazing results.

Lu Zizai looked at the prisoner Pu Heng at his feet and said, "Why aren't you speaking? Is it because you don't want to?"

"My strength is far inferior to yours," Pu Heng said honestly, a departure from his usual domineering style.

His attitude was practically saying: I've been behaving myself, please let me go.

Lu Zizai said, "You are the chief disciple of a faction in the Immortal Path. To kill you like this is a huge disrespect to your Immortal Path."

Pu Heng immediately felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's cripple it," Lu Zizai said.

Then, he made his move, refining Pu Heng's Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light.

It must be said that Cao Qianqiu was indeed good to his disciples, giving them all methods to save their lives. However, Lu Zizai was prepared and locked Pu Heng up, preventing him from escaping.

Pu Heng screamed in agony as his Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light was continuously slashed away and then refined until less than one-tenth remained.

"Let's go!" Lu Zizai his hand at him, breaking the chains that bound him to the Heavenly Light Manifestation.

Pu Heng knew that the other party had done this on purpose, sparing his life so that he could experience the various aspects of life that followed. He had fallen from the heights of fame to the ground.

Given his past behavior, being reduced to this state is worse than death. He can't imagine what others will think, and if his rivals target him.

For a moment, Pu Heng was filled with despair.

"Senior Brother, it's alright. We'll take the Destruction-and-Rebirth Path." Li Qingxu went to greet him.

Pu Heng was devastated and wanted to yell, "You actually believe such a lousy road exists?!"

However, he thought of what he had seen not long ago, that his teacher also seemed to be half-crippled. Perhaps he could support his master and try to move forward together.

In fact, Pu Heng was extremely powerful; many of the Ancestor's Personal Disciple were no match for him. It was only because he encountered Lu Zizai today that he was brought to this state. Otherwise, he would never have ended up like this.

Deep in the plateau, the Grandmaster Level came to an end.

Those people stood high in the sky, communicating through streams of consciousness.

Cao Qianqiu was frustrated, resentful, and irritable. His mood was at its worst, so how could he stop the fighting? In the end, he was the one who was most seriously injured and half-crippled before the war ended.

He lost more than 50% of his Pure Yang Origin Consciousness Spirit Light, and his cultivation was halved. This was the biggest loss he had ever suffered in his life, but he was unable to take revenge.

Sun Taichu said, "Lao Cao, don't rush. Let's take our time. Someone might have already started paving the way for New Life Path. We need to find out more. This big battle might actually be working in their favor."

"You guys are just cowards! Hurry up and go to the Fourth Forbidden Land, find the old monster, and join forces to destroy the Ancestor of the New Life Path! What's wrong with that?!" Cao Qianqiu roared.

Sun Taichu's expression was solemn as he secretly replied, "Long ago, the Ancestor of the New Life Path were debating what New Life is and how to walk this path. They believed that perhaps only rebirth after death could truly embody the meaning. I suspect that some of these old fellows have taken that step, and now they are all trying to use us to unleash their full potential and Nirvana after teetering on the brink of death."

Cao Qianqiu was furious and said, "I don't believe in any of this. Dead is dead. Who can New Life after death? Their path is seriously flawed. You are just cowards!"

In any case, the battle Grandmaster Level is over.

When the leaders of the two paths sat down to talk, they naturally touched on all aspects, from the New Life Path to the allocation plan for the future Great Wilderness Expansion, and so on.

Heavenly Dao, "If another scoundrel like Cao Qianqiu appears, we will follow suit and wipe out all the Immortal Seed on the Immortal Path to immortality, including your Personal Disciple. At worst, we will cut off each other's path to immortality."
