"If that's all you've got, even working together, you two won't be able to shake me one bit!"

But at that very moment, a monstrous pressure suddenly descended from the sky, vast and boundless, causing Anlan's body to freeze abruptly, and he plummeted several feet from the air!

Anlan's expression sharpened. Could there be an even stronger opponent?

Deep within the chaotic void beyond the heavens, in Zixiao Palace.

Sect Master Tongtian sighed as he watched the seal struck by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

That Anlan, who called himself an Immortal King, though possessing world-shattering abilities, the power he displayed at this moment was merely at the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm.

And it was difficult to sustain. Now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself had intervened, how could Anlan possibly withstand this blow?

High above the firmament, Anlan endured the Heavenly Punishment descending from the Heavenly Dao, with divine lightning bombarding the Immortal Shield he held.

Coupled with the joint assault from a Quasi-Sage and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Anlan was already showing signs of fatigue.

The immense immortal power contained within this Primordial World, while making each of his attacks astonishingly potent, meant that he was still new to this realm and unfamiliar with its rules.

For a time, he was overwhelmed.

Inside the inn, Black Emperor watched Anlan, who was losing ground in the battle, and turned to Su Yang, saying:

"Kid, the one you invited is probably not going to last. He's already on the defensive."

Ruthless Great Emperor's expression was solemn. The power Anlan displayed was the strongest existence he had ever witnessed.

Yet, even so, there were other beings in the Primordial World who could suppress him!

Could it be that he was destined to perish here today?

A strange look flickered across Ruthless Great Emperor's face. If the situation continued, Anlan would likely not survive.

A hint of gravity also crossed Su Yang's eyes. He had initially thought Anlan would be enough to handle the Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

He hadn't expected Anlan to be so eager to show off, once again drawing out a Quasi-Sage expert.

What surprised Su Yang even more was that through the messages transmitted from the inn, he learned that someone in the heavens had already attacked Anlan!

Though it was only one strike, it had already inflicted considerable damage on Anlan!

"Wooo, little friend, what should we do now?"

Black Emperor and Ruthless Great Emperor both turned their gaze to Su Yang, their expressions grave.

Meanwhile, Su Yang had already diverted his attention to activate the System Space, preparing to draw an item to deal with any unforeseen circumstances!

However, his current points, plus the seventy thousand points earned from recounting the deeds of the Void Great Emperor earlier, and the remaining twenty thousand points from before, totaled no more than ninety thousand points!

Facing the current crisis, he would need to draw at least a Gold-quality item to have any chance of turning the tide.

Su Yang felt a vague sense of unease.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that his points were increasing at an incredible speed!

He was instantly filled with surprise and confusion. What was happening?

He had clearly stopped talking, so why were his points skyrocketing?

At the same time, somewhere in the Earthly Immortal Realm, a cultivator with great magical power was observing the scenes in the inn through a reflection of time.

When he heard Su Yang recounting the story of the Void Great Emperor, a look of shock appeared on his face.

"To encounter such an interesting event right after coming out of seclusion. That young man seems to be in trouble now?"

In his Daoist temple, this immensely powerful cultivator gazed in the direction of Qingshan City, pondering to himself:

"If I were to offer help simply because of a story, it might attract too much karma."

"Never mind. That young man already hides many mysteries. If I, Zhenyuanzi, don't intervene, perhaps he can still resolve this crisis."

"Besides, Empress Nuwa is also in that inn. If anyone truly moves against him, Nuwa won't stand idly by."

This mighty being, who had just emerged from his seclusion and was deducing heavenly secrets, was none other than the renowned "Ancestor of Earthly Immortals" of the Earthly Immortal RealmZhenyuanzi!

The fame of Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the master of Wuzhuang Temple, was known throughout the Three Realms.

Even the Three Pure Ones, Sages among Sages, would show Zhenyuanzi some respect, as he was one of the three thousand Daoists present in Zixiao Palace alongside them.

If Zhenyuanzi had obtained a strand of Primordial Violet Qi back then, he might have secured a seat among the Sages himself.

At this moment, Zhenyuanzi gazed beyond the heavens, as if piercing through layers of void to directly observe the battle unfolding above Qingshan City.

"I truly didn't expect Immortal King Anlan to possess such capabilities. After my period of seclusion, the Primordial World has undergone so many changes."

Back in the inn, Su Yang soon realized that the points in his System had surpassed one hundred thousand!

A glint flashed in his eyes, and a surge of excitement rose in his heart.

The rewards obtained from defeating enemies were precisely what could help them overcome this current predicament.

However, Su Yang still felt a degree of uncertainty about what the Gold reward would bring.

If a Great Emperor-level being appeared, it might be difficult to deal with the enemy from beyond the heavens.

And it would be unable to provide practical assistance to Anlan.

As for rewards like cultivation techniques and elixirs, Su Yang wasn't interested at the moment.

He could only hope that this time he would obtain a summon card similar to the peak Anlan!

Only then could he deter those two powerful Quasi-Sages and Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

In the system space, Su Yang invested all one hundred thousand points into the Gold Prize Pool. The prize pool slowly activated.

In an instant, a golden light flashed in the space, blindingly brilliant!

Facing the reward that the Gold Prize Pool was about to produce, Su Yang didn't appear too excited. He still had concerns in his heart:

What if he drew something unsuitable?

But as soon as he saw the reward clearly, surprise immediately appeared in Su Yang's eyes!

This reward came at the perfect time!

It was exactly what he needed most right now!

High above, Anlan's Crimson Peak Spear was already slightly damaged, the situation becoming more unfavorable, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

If he could unleash his full power, he could certainly fight the two of them with all his might.

But now, he had to use one arm to activate the Immortal Shield and block the Heavenly Punishment, leaving only his other hand to fight, facing a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and a Quasi-Sage alone.

Even Anlan was gradually feeling the strain.

"Aren't you quite resilient, Anlan!"

The Grand Unity Golden Immortal saw Anlan's grim expression and burst into laughter, "Where's your earlier might? Didn't you say you were peerless, that no one could suppress you?"

"Then I'll see how many more tricks you're hiding!"

Before his voice even faded, another divine lightning bolt struck the Immortal Shield fiercely.

Under this blow, Anlan's knees buckled slightly, feeling the immense pressure from the heavens.

"Good opportunity!"

Seeing this, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal charged towards Anlan without hesitation, forming a hand seal and condensing a mountain-like giant phantom, which smashed down towards Anlan!

"Mountain Overturning Seal!"

With a furious roar, the hand seal heavily struck Anlan, pushing him back several feet!

Anlan barely stabilized himself, looking at the two figures attacking again, his face growing even more grim.

"You're bullying me because my true body cannot descend? That's fine. If I weren't currently guarding the Heavenly Abyss, holding the Immortal Shield with my right hand to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, and could only exert half my strength, with just the two of you, how could you be worthy of fighting me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those with great divine abilities in the Three Realms fell silent.
