Chapter 482

"This..."

Even the beautiful and delicate face of the Void Bright Immortal Venerable changed color slightly.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, both revealing a deep sense of apprehension, and even a hint of fear or dread.

The Time-Space Great Dao!

It's terrifying!

It's right in front of me.

Then something even more shocking happened.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no divine light illuminating the heavens and earth, and not even runes fluttering down from the sky.

All I saw was...

Xiao Minghuang pressed down on Immortal Venerable Wu Chang's head.

Beneath her delicate hands.

The Immortal Venerable Wu Chang, who originally looked to be around thirty years old, was aging at a visible rate. In just a few breaths, his skin became withered and wrinkled, and his once black hair turned gray.

Immediately afterwards, his skin cracked inch by inch, blood flowed out, his vital energy rapidly declined, and his life force quickly withered away. In the blink of an eye, he became an old man in his twilight years, on the verge of death.

One breath.

Immortal Venerable Wu Chang had become like an old tree with gnarled roots, extremely aged, his hunched back looking as if he might bend over at any moment.

However, even so, he gritted his teeth and persevered, his cloudy eyes filled with despair, still stubbornly trying to break free from Xiao Minghuang's grasp.

But in the end, it was all in vain.

Immortal Venerable Wu Chang struggled desperately, but his life essence had been wasted in an instant, as if countless epochs had passed. His decaying and deteriorating spirit could not support him to burn out the last bit of his Immortal Dao Law.

"How could this be...?"

Immortal Venerable Wu Chang murmured, his voice filled with despair and resentment.

"No..."

He growled.

Watching helplessly as their bodies age rapidly and their lifespan dissipates.

He was born with innate power, traversing the universe and looking down upon heaven and earth. He also possesses an infinite future and has the hope of attaining eternity and becoming Immortal Emperor.

He can't just die like this!

He hasn't lived enough yet!

However.

Xiao Minghuang glanced at him indifferently with her clear, frosty eyes:

"No one in this world is immortal..."

"But you've created your own trap!"

Boom!

A dull thud followed.

A burst of dazzling Immortal Radiance exploded out.

The Immortal Dao Law scattered outwards, transforming into countless strands of rosy clouds that filled the entire world.

This is the last trace of life essence of Immortal Venerable Wu Chang.

His body instantly withered, turning into a skin and bones corpse, and fell from mid-air.

He died, his soul returned to the heavens, and his body and spirit perished.

This Immortal Venerable Wu Chang, who traversed all races, thus perished here.

As the celestial light faded, all that could be seen was Xiao Minghuang standing proudly in the sky.

She wore a golden-red dress that fluttered in the wind, her jet-black hair flying wildly, spotless, like a celestial maiden descended to earth, majestic and noble, like an empress descending from the heavens.

Her robes fluttered as she calmly withdrew her fingers, standing silently in the void.

At this very moment.

The aura of Immortal Venerable Wu Chang vanished, turning into dust, and he perished completely.

The Taiji Innate Immortal Venerable, born from the beginning of chaos, actually perished on the spot, his soul scattered and nothing left behind.

"Hiss!!!"

This sudden scene caused the sisters, Zhiming and Xuming, to gasp in unison.

"How could this be..."

All the creatures in the New Shanhai Realm witnessed all of this!

In particular, when they sensed that the aura of Immortal Venerable Wu Chang had completely disappeared, a deep sense of shock welled up in everyone's hearts!

It was as if... the sky was about to collapse.

That's a Celestial Venerable!

"Lord Wu Chang... is he dead?"

"It's over!!!"

Someone screamed in horror, trembling all over, and collapsed to the ground.

This is a true Immortal Venerable level powerhouse, a being standing at the pinnacle!

Many cultivators were shocked and could hardly believe what they were seeing.

Their worldview was completely shattered at that moment.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Lord Wu Chang is so powerful, how could he possibly have perished!"

574. I'll only say three things.

"I don't believe it! The Immortal Venerable is not destroyed! Wu Chang has merely improved his tactical position. He will return!"

Some people became hysterical, screaming wildly.

But.

Whether you want to admit it or not.

Immortal Venerable Wu Chang has indeed perished.

This is something that all living beings have witnessed.

The Immortal Venerable has fallen!

This is beyond everyone's imagination!

Beside.

Xiao Minghuang remained calm.

She looked down upon all living beings with utter indifference, giving one a sense of lofty detachment and etherealness, as if she were above them all.

She slowly turned around, her gaze sweeping over Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming and Void Bright Immortal Venerable. Her calm gaze seemed devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Upon seeing this, Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming and Void Bright Immortal Venerable exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unspeakable fear and dread, and they instinctively retreated rapidly.

But soon, they stopped.

With a wave of his hand, Void Bright Immortal Venerable sent two figures falling from the void; they were Changli and Lifeng.

The two people looked perfectly fine, not even a scrap of clothing was damaged, so they were clearly not injured.

They looked up and saw Xiao Minghuang standing in the sky, her face full of confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, what is this?"

Their memories are still stuck on being taken away by a mysterious immortal, and that's it.

"It's alright, let's go."

Xiao Minghuang waved her hand, signaling them to follow, then turned and left.

After the previous battle, the New Shanhai Realm was smashed into a shape like a die, riddled with holes, so there was no need to do anything more, and they could easily leave.

Changli and Lifeng were unaware of the truth, but they still followed Xiao Minghuang closely, quickly leaving the place and disappearing into the void.

Until they were far away.

"The Immortal... the Immortal Venerable is dead just like that?!"

After a long silence, someone asked in a trembling voice.

Everything that had just happened was still lingering in his mind, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

"The Immortal Venerable Wu Chang... has fallen?"

The other living beings also seemed to awaken from a dream.

Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming and Void Bright Immortal Venerable looked at each other, their expressions solemn, their brows furrowed, deep in thought.

Just now.

From beginning to end.

Xiao Minghuang did not have any interaction with them.

It was as if the two of them didn't exist.

"Sister... what do we do?"

Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming looked completely bewildered.

"This... I..."

Void Bright Immortal Venerable frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "Alas... the responsibility for this matter lies with me. It was my indecisiveness that allowed the discord between Wu Chang and Ziwei to escalate, ultimately leading to this disaster!"

"No!"

Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming hurriedly said, "How can you blame my sister? It's all because Wu Chang didn't discipline his son properly, which ultimately led to his own death... And who could have imagined that Ziwei would be so powerful!"

Both of them shook their heads in unison, their eyes filled with bitterness.

They never expected that Lord Wu Chang would perish.

"If our elder brother returns in the future, we will truly have no way to explain ourselves."

Void Bright Immortal Venerable sighed deeply. He and his seventeen brothers and sisters had shared life and death, and now one was missing. If their eldest brother returned, he would surely ask about the matter. How would they explain it?

Are we to expect them to tell the truth: they let a wolf into the house, then stood by and watched an outsider kill Wu Chang while they themselves did nothing?

"Sister, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should..."

"Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming hesitated," he said.

"Now that things have come to this, what's there to say or not say? Just say what you have to say!"

Void Bright Immortal Venerable Xuming frowned and urged.

Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming Zhiming pursed his lips, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Sister, for so many years, we sisters have served our elder brother faithfully, but he has never done us any good. Whenever there is a conflict between brothers and sisters, we are always the ones who have to back down."

"... I think this might be an opportunity. Ziwei killing Wu Chang might not be a bad thing. At least, since we met her, my sister and I have always treated her with great courtesy. When she killed Wu Chang, we didn't interfere and even returned her companions to her."

"Since that's the case, why don't we simply side with the Heavenly Court? I observe that Ziwei possesses unparalleled talent and beauty, and even if she is the 'Child of the Stars,' she will surely be the protagonist of this era. If we can become her companions, we might be able to share some of her fortune and successfully overcome this great calamity of the era."

Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming each word clearly, his eyes gleaming, uttering a rebellious statement.

The Void Bright Immortal Venerable's eyes were deep and somber; he remained silent, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Sister, what do you think of my plan?"

"Immortal Venerable Zhi Ming Zhiming asked cautiously."

"..."

Void Bright Immortal Venerable remained silent, his beautiful eyes gazing into the void, his expression shifting unpredictably.

After a while.

She nodded.
