What a Pity—the Death-Sending Immortal Emperor We Just Recruited

Although Song Zhong had broken Lord of Suppressing the Wilds' attack, he himself admitted that it was because his Spatial Dao countered the other party's.

Lord of Suppressing the Wilds was merely in the space they occupied, while his lightning had entered another space. No matter how powerful Lord of Suppressing the Wilds' vibrations were, what use were they? To Song Zhong, it was all vibration in vain.

All he needed to do was make the space containing the lightning overlap with the space he occupied at the instant the lightning fell and was about to come into contact with Lord of Suppressing the Wilds.

In truth, Lord of Suppressing the Wilds was not without a solution. As long as his vibrations could become stronger, he could shatter Song Zhong's lightning at the instant of contact. But Lord of Suppressing the Wilds was now also a Supreme Realm cultivator, so the power of his spells had weakened. Moreover, his own body had not vibrated, which was why he was severely wounded in a single strike.

Song Zhong offered no explanation. The man was already about to die, so what was there for him to explain?

The next moment, the Shattering Void Blade appeared in his hand. The moment the long blade emerged, before he had even made a move, the surrounding void began twisting madly.

Lord of Immaculate Purity's expression changed drastically. Countless crystal-like streams of water frantically gathered and spun before lunging toward Song Zhong.

She had entered together with Lord of Suppressing the Wilds. If Lord of Suppressing the Wilds was killed, she would die as well.

The streams had only just surged up when brilliant petals came flying over at tremendous speed.

"Your opponent is me."

Lord of Cherished Flowers lashed out with her long whip, sending the petals charging into the river. Instantly, the wildly churning river stopped rotating, while every crystal-like particle shattered beneath the petals' collisions.

The obstruction before Song Zhong vanished in an instant. He appeared directly before Lord of Suppressing the Wilds and viciously drove the Shattering Void Blade down.

In that instant, Lord of Suppressing the Wilds felt as though endless currents of Void Turbulence were slashing down upon him at once. Every current of Void Turbulence seemed as terrifying as the Void Turbulence within the Boundless Star River.

Before he could react, his fleshly body split apart with a boom, sliced open by those razor-sharp strands of Spatial Power. The silver longsword then hacked heavily into his body.

With a single slash, his body exploded completely, crimson blood spraying in every direction.

The next moment, Lord of Immaculate Purity's eyes turned vacant, and her life aura completely dissipated.

"Lord of Suppressing the Wilds is dead?"

"He was killed so quickly?"

"That Immortal Emperor is even stronger than Lord of Suppressing the Wilds?"

For a time, the remaining cultivators in this space were all dumbfounded. Everything had happened far too quickly.

"Join forces and kill him first!"

"That's right, let's join forces! The fact that he could kill Lord of Suppressing the Wilds may be because he happened to counter him! He—"

One cultivator was still shouting when Song Zhong appeared before him in the next instant. With one slash, that cultivator's body exploded completely.

Other than Lord of Suppressing the Wilds, the remaining cultivators were simply far too weak. Song Zhong and Lord of Cherished Flowers joined forces and, in merely an instant, annihilated every remaining cultivator.

These cultivators were not what he cared about.

Song Zhong raised his head as well and looked overhead. The Boundless Star River should be arriving soon.

At the same time, cultivators in many other spaces were watching Song Zhong with astonishment on their faces.

Even Lord of Bone Wings could not help but sigh. "That cultivator's fleshly body is extraordinarily powerful. Among all the cultivators who entered the ruins, if we speak only of physical strength, no one is even stronger than him!

"Lord of Vanishing Shadows displayed greater speed than him, but that was because Lord of Vanishing Shadows used a special cultivation technique and cast a spell."

Beside her, Lord of Ice Wings nodded slightly. "He is only in the Immortal Emperor Realm, yet he is already this powerful. He truly surprised me. He can be considered an opponent.

"However, Lord of Vanishing Shadows and Lord of Absolute Sword are even more troublesome. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be the two who compete with us in the end.

"To be honest, I do not have the slightest confidence.

"Especially Lord of Absolute Sword. She is even more powerful than the rumors outside claim!"

Lord of Bone Wings nodded slightly and pointed at the blade-wielding cultivator in the projection. "That is why having this Death-Sending Immortal Emperor may not be a bad thing. In fact, the stronger he is, the better. He cannot threaten us, but if he is strong, he can help us contend with Lord of Absolute Sword and Lord of Vanishing Shadows.

"Right now, it is universally acknowledged that Lord of Vanishing Shadows and Lord of Absolute Sword are the strongest. If the Death-Sending Immortal Emperor makes it to the end, I think he will be more than willing to join forces with us and deal with Lord of Vanishing Shadows and Lord of Absolute Sword first."

In another space, Lord of Vanishing Shadows looked at Lord of Absolute Sword beside him and spoke calmly. "What a pity. A Heavenly Prodigy at the early Immortal Emperor Realm who could have become the strongest Immortal Emperor is about to fall within these ruins.

"No matter how prodigious he is, how could Sage Ruins be a place an Immortal Emperor like him should enter?"

Not only the Death-Sending Immortal Emperor—every cultivator who entered these ruins, apart from him and Lord of Absolute Sword, would die.

The final inheritance would certainly belong to them.

Even though they had not yet seen every cultivator make a move, they possessed absolute confidence!

"It is rather regrettable." A trace of regret even appeared in Lord of Absolute Sword's eyes. She had only just recruited the Death-Sending Immortal Emperor into their Killing Society, yet they were about to kill him in these ruins.

The Death-Sending Immortal Emperor could do many things for them.

For example, he could directly wipe out those weaker Great Thousand Worlds.

Those Great Thousand Worlds probably had only one, or perhaps two or three, Supreme Realm cultivators. Cultivators above the Supreme Realm could not enter those Great Thousand Worlds, but the Death-Sending Immortal Emperor was only in the Immortal Emperor Realm. In theory, he could forcibly enter any Great Thousand World.

Moreover, the Death-Sending Immortal Emperor's combat power was so terrifying that ordinary Supreme Realm cultivators were no match for him.

When the time came, many cultivators would presumably issue missions through their Killing Society to destroy Great Thousand Worlds whose strongest combatants were at the Supreme Realm, and the Death-Sending Immortal Emperor could take them all.

But now, they would most likely have to kill the Death-Sending Immortal Emperor.

Afterward, she would have to find other cultivators to join the Killing Society, and no other cultivators would be able to take these missions. It was all a loss!

There was no helping it. She had not expected these ruins to be the kind where it seemed only two cultivators could survive.

Generally speaking, Sage Ruins were meant to find future inheritors. Their purpose was not to kill other cultivators, so they should not have been this cruel.

Just as she sighed, the Boundless Star River appeared in the stretch of void where Song Zhong was.
