The wind howled, and endless killing intent lurked from all directions.
The woman who had been alluring just moments before was now ashen-faced, her eyes dim, and she was humbly begging for mercy.
"Spare me!"
However, the creature gripping her neck was utterly indifferent; with a slight tightening of its fingers, the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
The woman rolled her eyes on the spot, her True Spirit on the verge of shattering.
With a bang, the woman's neck was snapped open, and with a whooshing sound, Golden Rain poured down from the sky.
That was her Primordial Spirit, shattered into countless dust particles, impossible to reassemble.
"No!"
With a final, mournful cry, a Supreme Experts who could be considered Quasi-Great Accomplishment World Lord perished.
The World Lords within the valley were immediately terrified, their souls nearly leaving their bodies.
Yun Shen's face was grave as he solemnly declared, "Great Accomplishment World Lord!"
Across from him, the white-clad man, who had just finished killing someone, wiped the blood from his palms and nodded, saying:
"Indeed, now that I'm here in person, am I ready to face it?"
Yun Shen frowned, realizing that the other party had not arrived late, but had been there all along, observing them.
"Great Accomplishment World Lord? I've been injured before."
With a clang, Qing Wei drew her sword and stood ready, her fighting spirit surging.
She is a prodigy of her time; why should she fear fighting across borders?
Even the old man surnamed Yun didn't pay much attention; instead, his anger turned to joy— the Eight-Pattern Immortal Fruit was back!
With a wave of his sleeve and a stern face, he declared, "I am Yun Shen. You cannot control the immortal fruit; hand it over, or you will suffer Great karma in the future!"
"Yun Shen?"
The man in white paused, then chuckled softly, "Never heard of it."
Yun Shen's face flushed red, and he hesitated to speak.
At this moment, Qing Wei also noticed the change in Yun Shen's expression and sensed that something was wrong.
A moment later, she received a telepathic message from Yun Shen, and she was completely distraught.
The elderly man surnamed Yun trembled all over and almost knelt down:
"You are a worthy disciple of Immortal Mountain!!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the room.
With a whoosh, the Divine Ape in the distant sky suddenly soared into the sky, shattering the Void beneath its feet. It used Transposition Technique to escape towards the horizon, only to crash into an invisible barrier.
The Divine Ape wielded his Golden Cudgel, Heaven Opening with a single blow, causing the mountains to shatter and the clouds to billow.
However, when swung at the barrier, it was like hitting the hardest iron mountain; though it produced Celestial Flower, it was of no use.
The man in white, however, turned around and Instantaneous Movement in front of the Divine Ape. He slapped it, and the Divine Ape screamed in agony, its face a bloody mess.
The Divine Ape did consider rebelling, unleashing various Heaven and Earth Manifestation techniques that astonished the world.
However, the man in white didn't use much force; with just a gentle tug, the enormous ape's body was torn apart, and a large amount of ape blood splattered out.
Thump!
The Fist Light soared to the heavens, and the profound runes, transcending the definitions of all things, Runes like a torrential rain.
With a loud bang, the Divine Ape was blasted apart, and the Golden Cudgel, a Supreme Treasure, Great Accomplishment broken into several pieces.
This scene left all the World Lords horrified and terrified.
That Divine Ape was a great expert, no weaker than Yun Shen, a quasi- Quasi-Great Accomplishment World Lord. He was only one step away from that realm and had even fought against Great Accomplishment World Lord.
However, the difference between him and the man in white was too great; he was easily killed like a stray dog.
Qing Wei, who had been so arrogant just moments before, blushed with embarrassment, feeling a burning sensation on her face.
The old man surnamed Yun, needless to say, wanted to rely on his grandson's fame to intimidate everyone, but he ran into a ruthless person. Now he's only thinking about how to make amends.
Clad in pristine white, the man reappeared before the crowd and said:
"Without my permission, you'd better not make any further moves."
"No, no."
The elderly man surnamed Yun, with a warm and enthusiastic expression, tried to get closer to him.
In his view, the other party was a disciple of Immortal Mountain, and since his own grandson would also be a disciple of Immortal Mountain, they were considered one of his own. This was like a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple – a family member not recognizing another family member.
Upon hearing this, the man in white couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Who's related to him? Whether he can even Entry Level is another matter entirely. How dare he claim kinship with me?"
Yun Shen's expression grew increasingly grim.
He was a prodigy, and he figured it would be easy for him to join the Immortal Mountain. The other party was just born an era earlier and joined the Immortal Mountain a little earlier than him.
If they were in the Same Realm, he was confident he could overpower them.
Rumble!
A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, and a dazzling barrier appeared, covering the entire immortal Immortal Mountain.
The supreme fluctuations spread like frost, nearly freezing the souls of all the World Lords.
Yun Shen's expression changed again, and he exclaimed in shock, "This is Peerless Domain! You actually used such Supreme Treasure to seize it!"
No wonder even Divine Ape couldn't break through that barrier. Faced with such unparalleled power, who among them could possibly shake it?!
The man in white smiled but said nothing more.
With a hum, celestial light emanated from the valley, and a figure in green robes suddenly appeared, looking somewhat disheveled.
Jiang Ping dusted himself off and was panting heavily.
"Jiang Ping?"
Qing Wei paused, then said with a complicated expression, "It seems you didn't escape."
Jiang Ping nodded slightly. "Yes, they even used a peerless Supreme Treasure, they must be trying to silence us. This mountain already has an owner, that precious tree has long since ended up on someone's dinner table."
He had sensed something was amiss and tried to escape, but he failed.
The Golden Banner is ingenious, but at present it only has defensive capabilities and no offensive power.
"You're right!"
A sneer pierced the air.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a five-clawed celestial dragon tear through the sea of clouds, its body coiled around several towering mountains, each scale gleaming and larger than a house.
The dragon raises its towering head, seemingly reaching the heavens. When it breathes, clouds and smoke fill its mouth and nose, sounding like thunderous roars.
With the True Dragon soaring in the sky, the powerful finally realized what was happening.
"That's right. Back then, when that Dragon Ancestor consumed the immortal fruit and ascended to immortality, the precious tree was still there. How could it be left to outsiders?"
One of the World Lords sighed.
They were fighting tooth and nail, blushing and making all sorts of backstabbing and breaches of contract over the immortal fruit, but it was all for nothing.
Those celestial fruits were already the True Dragons ' prey, but instead, they set up a grand treasure-hunting drama for them.
It's likely that the other party decided to show up because they saw the farce was nearing its end.
With a whoosh, the True Dragon transformed into a handsome young man with two horns on his head, his hair tied up with an emperor's crown, and wearing a dragon robe.
The descendant of the Dragon Ancestor strode in, followed by a group of angry Dragon Carp.
When the old man surnamed Yun saw the group of carp, his expression changed instantly.
The True Dragon Ao Tian stood beside the man in white, looking down at the trembling powerful figures below.
Those World Lords looked resigned to death. The other side had even used peerless divine weapons, so they must have wanted to silence them and prevent the matter of the immortal fruit from being revealed.
To this, Ao Tian scoffed and said nothing:
"Our clan is destined to ascend to the heavens, and a second Ancestor Dragon will soon emerge. Why would we care whether a precious tree reveals its secrets?"
It turns out that the man in white was also a descendant of the True Dragon, yet he was able to become a disciple of the Immortal Mountain, which shows his extraordinary talent.
The powerful figures breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them asked curiously, "May I ask what your purpose is in sealing off the mountain?"
Ao Tian surveyed the crowd with disdain, his killing intent palpable.
"Someone has killed my descendants; they must pay the price!"
The old man surnamed Yun was terrified, his soul trembling, and in an instant he understood what the other person meant.
Everyone else realized what was happening too, and someone said:
"So, I did see the Divine Ape eating Dragon Carp alive before."
"That dead woman also cooked Flood Dragon soup."
Everyone immediately pointed it out, but then they were taken aback.
Those two are dead, so it seems there are other dragon slayers.
Whoosh!
Several people transformed into streaks of light and fled into the distance, while the man in white did not even raise his head, yet the Fist Light had already swept out in a vast wave.
Bang! Bang!
The three World Lords died instantly, their True Spirits annihilated.
Ao Tian spoke again, "Anyone else? Step forward voluntarily, and you can avoid physical harm."
The elderly man surnamed Yun immediately knelt down and confessed:
"They only injured me; they didn't actually persecute me."
He quickly handed over the pearl he was carrying and begged for forgiveness.
Yun Shen, standing nearby, quickly added, "I will become a disciple of Immortal Mountain. If I succeed, I will be eternally grateful for this favor."
Upon hearing this, the white-robed man's lips curled slightly. "The favor between fellow disciples is indeed tempting."
Ao Tian's smile was enigmatic, leaving his thoughts unreadable.
At this moment, the old man surnamed Yun suddenly stood up and pointed at Jiang Ping:
"I am reporting this person for stealing the noble Dragon Pearl."
