Southwest Skyfall

On a winter night, it was pitch black, and the vast land was frozen solid.

Niu Ben City stood silently.

It's as if Nether King escaped from the Jade Capital, wielding his scepter once more, intending to plunge all things back into a time of death and desolation.

On the endless Ice Wasteland, only the Golden Light Cave still emits a faint light, flickering like a candle flame in the long night.

The three Ancestor felt their hair stand on end and stood frozen in place.

A few breaths later, the Golden Light Cave roared and trembled violently again, nearly draining the spiritual energy of the Super Fire Spring.

"How is it?" A blurry figure appeared in the night fog and asked.

From within the dark passage came another voice. "Truth."

Near the Golden Light Cave, there was actually a second living being guarding it.

Even with the Heavenly Inspection Divine Mirror, the three Ancestor of Night Prefecture were unable to detect it beforehand.

They stood in the wind and snow, not daring to approach the area of thick, ink-like Black Mist.

The three relatively "young" Ancestor all showed worried expressions. There was a "celestial treasure" in that New World, and this matter was of great importance and was highly valued by the higher-ups of Night Prefecture.

That Purple Sword and that strange book might help Night Prefecture break through his shackles and reach an unprecedented level of glory.

In particular, the "Earth Immortal Relic" within the humanoid ashes might quickly create an Peerless Expert.

The higher-ups in Night Prefecture are already discussing how to select the most suitable Ancestor to fuse the Earth Immortal Relic as quickly as possible.

"At the crucial moment, someone else snatched it away!" The three Ancestor were indignant.

If a Earth Immortal were to appear in Night Prefecture, it would change the existing landscape, allowing the thirty-six Heaven Stabilizing Divine Stake to better protect the land.

Is he really Earth Immortal?

"It's probably this kind of creature!"

The three Ancestor looked extremely solemn. There were records of Earth Immortal in Night Prefecture. Although they dared not easily approach the place where Jade Capital was located, there had been Earth Immortal who appeared near Night Prefecture. When they passed through the area, they made a great commotion and were extremely frightening.

In the dead of night, the Golden Light Cave trembled violently, rapidly absorbing the spiritual energy of the Super Fire Spring, and some living beings returned.

"How?"

"That Five Finger Mountain still has a suppressive effect; I cannot shake it."

After a brief silence, another being spoke, "I will go with you."

Golden Light Cave, a hazy figure appeared and nailed a tattered Black Pennant to the ground, instantly creating a mysterious domain. Immortal Mist rose and covered the area, preventing outsiders from getting close.

The next moment, the Golden Light Cave flashed brightly, then returned to calm after a short while.

The three Ancestor could not hear the conversation between the two beings, but they could see the changes in the Golden Light Cave through the Sky-Patrolling Mirror.

"Should we go over there? Destroy the space tunnel?"

"How could beings at this level not have a backup plan? The three of us are not strong enough; rushing in rashly will only result in our deaths."

Soon after, their faces turned grim. Through the Heavenly Inspection Divine Mirror, they noticed something amiss: the Golden Light Cave had been "reinforced," and the components there appeared to be the work of Night Prefecture.

"We were about to have a Earth Immortal appear on our side, but someone beat us to it tonight!"

"Has the upper echelons of Night Prefecture been infiltrated?"

Night Prefecture is far from peaceful.

On that day, whether in the Esoteric Sect or in Beyond the Mundane, the terrifying pressure of the Ancestor emanated and spread far and wide.

Many people even saw the thirty-six Heaven Stabilizing Divine Stake appear in the night sky.

Then, the broken bell that had fallen from Jade Capital was rung, the dark clouds were dyed gold, and the whole earth was thrown into turmoil.

In the latter half of the night, the Golden Light Cave, located in the territory of the Minotaur Race, emitted a blinding light.

Then, a piercing scream ripped through the entire Ice Wasteland, and the falling snowflakes exploded on the spot.

A humanoid creature, reduced to a mere half-body, was dripping blood. Its face was distorted in the thick fog. It pulled up the Black Pennant at the cave entrance and soared into the Chongxiao.

Boom!

In the night sky, the thick clouds shattered, as if struck by an endless sea of lightning.

The blood dripping from that mutilated body emitted an astonishing crimson glow, illuminating the abyss-like sky.

"The Earth Immortal... with only a third of its body remaining, was actually severely injured!"

On the Ice Wasteland, the three Grandmaster Level experts stared in horror and disbelief at the scene before them.

Then, the entire night sky was torn apart. The Earth Immortal passed through, destroying everything in its path with terrifying force.

On a winter night, it was as if a Golden Crow had soared across the sky, flying southwest, causing all the clouds along its path to burst open, carving out a dazzling path.

Its speed was extremely fast; it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The enormous commotion it caused, along with the terrifying and wondrous sights, lingered for a long time.

In the sky, a Golden Light Path leads southwest.

Furthermore, the night sky resembled a delicate porcelain piece, riddled with cracks; as the Earth Immortal passed through, the remaining dense energy clung to the darkness like lightning.

"Only one came out, the other Earth Immortal... could he have been trapped inside forever?"

The three Ancestor of Night Prefecture, upon seeing through the Heavenly Inspection Divine Mirror that the Golden Light Cave had completely dimmed and remained silent, all showed expressions of shock.

Tonight, it's very likely that a Earth Immortal being has died!

Even though they had weathered many storms, their hearts were still pounding and their thoughts were in turmoil. Such a being of this caliber had actually perished at the other end of the Golden Light Cave.

The New World is far more dangerous than they imagined!

Even with a Immortal Method being personally present, the operation failed, resulting in one death and one serious injury—this is an extremely serious incident.

As the creatures, now only fragments of their bodies, departed, the oppressive atmosphere of this place dissipated, and the thick, ink-like darkness gradually faded.

"What happened? I thought I was dead!"

"What's going on? My Consciousness Spirit Light feels like it's been frozen for a long time, and it's only now slowly reviving."

Near Niu Ben City, both the minotaurs and the experts from Night Prefecture were pale-faced, panting heavily, their hearts pounding like drums.

At this moment, Qin Ming was on high alert in the manor.

His consciousness merged with the Heavenly Light, and he was not "frozen" at Entire Process. However, like Master, he was completely in the dark and could not see anything.

Only now did he recover, watching the dense, lightning-like residual energy in the night sky tearing apart the boundless clouds.

He was utterly shocked. Had Earth Immortal being just passing through?

As people gradually recovered, the place erupted in cheers.

"What? Earth Immortal immortal has fallen?"

"How is that possible!"

People could hardly believe it. To this day, there were no Earth Immortal in the Night Prefecture, and the Ancestor of all paths were still pioneering new paths. Yet, tonight, a being of that caliber had perished.

In an instant, many figures rushed towards the Golden Light Cave at lightning speed. Besides the Grandmaster, there were also Little Tathagata, Jian Huaidao, Xie Lin, and others.

"No one is allowed to approach this area!"

The three Ancestor blocked the way and sealed off the Golden Light Cave.

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Even among the Minotaur Race, the most powerful and experienced old minotaurs lost their swagger and nearly Abandoned Son, fleeing instead.

"No, you can't build a portal to Different World here. We need to seal off the Golden Light Cave as soon as possible!"

The old patriarch of the Minotaur clan was nearly scared to death when he learned that the Earth Immortal had passed through. Shaking his long, green hair, he stiffened his neck and went to find the three Ancestor.

"Night Prefecture has been raided. The special 'component' used by the higher-ups to reinforce the Golden Light Cave, which they crafted with the help of the Heaven Stabilizing Divine Stake, has fallen into the hands of Earth Immortal. This situation is extremely serious and dire."

The news leaked, sparking heated discussions among many people.

Qin Ming, Wu Yaozu, and others were also talking, while Xiang Yiwu looked at Little Tathagata and the others with hostility, clearly distrusting them.

If there is an inside agent, then the returning "Grand Emperor" and others are highly suspicious.

The following day, high-ranking officials from Night Prefecture arrived as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, the people here heard the definite news that the "components" personally crafted by the Ancestor had vanished without a trace and been stolen by a mysterious master.

"This is intolerable! Our Night Prefecture has been infiltrated like a sieve! Outer Domain beings have actually entered the mysterious world before us!"

After surveying the Golden Light Cave, some of the Ancestor flew into a rage here.

The night sky was in turmoil, with flashes of lightning streaking across it from time to time, and the Ancestor were all furious.

At the last minute, having someone steal your thunder halfway through would make anyone furious.

In particular, the Earth Immortal Relic, the extraordinary book, and the Purple Sword of the New World can enable the entire Night Prefecture to leap to a higher level, and the impact is truly enormous.

"Everyone, calm down. Although the Earth Immortal have appeared here, they probably haven't succeeded. Our most urgent task is to send someone in to check what's going on."

Clearly, there is danger inside. A powerful Earth Immortal has perished, and it would be daunting for anyone to go in now, not knowing what might happen.

"Old Niu, look..." the Ancestor of the Esoteric Sect said with a smile.

With a whoosh, the old chieftain of the Minotaur Race vanished instantly.

"I just want you to find some materials to craft a puppet!"

Ultimately, after using various special methods to investigate, the Ancestor of the Esoteric Sect and the Immortal Path concluded that there was no major crisis in the New World, and as long as they did not directly confront the Five Finger Mountain, there would be no major problems.

Soon after, a Ancestor prepared to personally delve into the area.

"I will go with you!" The Past Tathagata pass.

Qin Ming saw from afar a huge figure, half a head taller than an average person and half a body wider than Xiang Yiwu.

It was a burly man, as imposing as an iron tower, with short hair and a dense golden aura around him. There were hideous wounds on his face, as if he had been torn apart.

He even had similar horrific scars on his neck and torso, seemingly stitched together with gnarled Dragon Sinews, which were eventually healed.

In fact, the "Grand Emperor" of the Immortal Path and Esoteric Sect have also arrived, and are about to enter the New World.

Qin Ming, Xiang Yiwu, Wu Yaozu, and the others showed surprise. Would the Ancestor of each path sacrifice these "living Ancestor" to the heavens at the Golden Light Cave?

Because they knew all too well that things had been quite chaotic on all the roads lately.

The Ancestral Court of various religions already had problems, and they were almost becoming the ancestral temples of certain powerful clans. Now that a powerful "Grand Emperor" has returned, some people are actually willing to attach themselves to him.

In the New World, more than a dozen Ancestor crossed the border. Near Five Finger Mountain, they found some pieces of flesh and blood, as well as blood-stained bones.

"Chengyun, if you want to laugh, then laugh it off," said an elderly man with white hair and beard.

He Lian Chengyun, clad in Scarlet Gold Armor, appeared as a cold and aloof youth. A red mark adorned his brow, and his entire body radiated a shimmering, Immortal Light. He spoke coldly, "Uncle-Master, what are you saying? The treasures of Night Prefecture have been stolen! I am furious!"

In the past, the Buddha 'Tathagata Dharma Eyes to determine that this flesh and blood originated from two Earth Immortal, one dead and one crippled, both renowned figures in Pugong, representing the highest level of combat power.

A group of Ancestor searched carefully in this area, but no one went to Five Finger Mountain, let alone tried to retrieve the Purple Sword.

"Should these pieces of flesh and bone be distributed, or left together for us to analyze?"

"Let's put them together. After we study them thoroughly, perhaps Night Prefecture will have its own Seventh Realm expert."

Finally, more than a dozen Ancestor walked out of the Golden Light Cave together.

"It seems the Ancestor were extremely angry, their faces and necks were red with rage," someone sighed.

"Ming Ge, what do you think? I feel like these angry Ancestor have flushed faces," Wu Yaozu secretly transmitted his voice.

Xiang Yiwu was taken aback by this and said, "If you put it that way, saying they were beaming with joy is one thing, but it also sounds like they were a little angry."

Little Wu said, "If it were you, and a ' Grand Emperor ' was sitting on your neck, always trying to order you around, would you have a good attitude?"

Qin Ming looked at them again and again. The old Ancestor had serious expressions and looked very angry, but they also seemed to be full of fighting spirit. Their slightly red old faces were shining.

"This place is too dangerous. Even if Earth Immortal were to come, they would perish. Therefore, the cave will be sealed off starting today." An old Ancestor announced this news to the public.

Many people believe that the name Golden Light Cave is correct; it belongs to the category of Grotto-Heaven and is not yet suitable for in-depth exploration.

People came in droves, only to leave disappointed.

Some people strongly suspect that the Golden Light Cave holds many secrets, and conspiracy theorists even believe that it may not be connected to Otherworld.

A dozen days later, an urgent secret letter arrived from afar.

"The Earth Immortal has fallen, the Southwest Skyfall, and chaos has ensued in Pugong!"

Several days later, in the desert, Immortal Grave, several figures stood side by side, communicating with the powerful being within the tomb.

The creature within the main tomb spoke, sighing, "In the end, I only extended my lifespan by twenty years. Those decaying Earth Immortal immortals, those Seven-Day Accumulator, are even more old and frail than I am. This deal was a huge loss."

At this moment, a wondrous scene appeared in the Immortal Grave.

Deep within the main tomb, in the so-called sealed place, was actually the wondrous Five Finger Mountain. After the humanoid ashes and the Earth Immortal Relic's relic merged together, they eventually transformed into Earth Immortal.

In the depths of the layered mists of Night Prefecture Kunling, a small Earthen City, after receiving the last ripples from the distant capital of Jade Capital, suddenly trembled and is rapidly recovering!

At that moment, the entire Kunling Territory felt a noticeable tremor.

Even the peerless warrior who was about to devour all the perilous places of Kunling was startled awake, broke through the earth's surface, and came into the night sky.

A fresh chapter, updated well before dawn.
