An Immortal Slain

Ice Peak completely vaporized in that instant, and even the ice sheet within a thousand miles turned to gas in a flash, revealing the silver-gray metal ground beneath it.

"Spirit Magpie King!"

Flame Ruins King's furious roar shook Xingkong.

"Get out here, old man!!!"

From the depths of the main planet, a silver-white beam of light shot into the heavens.

Within the light, a slender humanoid bird-like creature revealed herself.

Her entire body was covered in silver-white feathers with a metallic sheen, and a pair of wings formed from the same feathers spread from her back.

"Flame Ruins King!"

Spirit Magpie King's voice was shrill and piercing, filled with indescribable hatred.

"You humans have gone too far! Just because Chaos Lord broke through, you came after my Spirit Magpie Race. Do you really think we're easy prey?!"

"When you sent assassins to injure my junior last time, why didn't you think that was going too far?"

Flame Ruins King sneered. Flames around him surged violently, transforming him into a dark-red meteor that crashed toward Spirit Magpie King.

The two Invincible King powerhouses collided explosively in Xingkong. In that instant, space resembled a crumpled sheet of paper, and dense black cracks spread from the point of impact in every direction.

Ice Qiong King and Crimson Flame King moved at the same time.

Ice Qiong King transformed into an icy-blue streak of light and shot northeast, while Crimson Flame King charged southwest amid blazing flames.

Fang Yan stood on the Footless Bird's gangway, looking at the battlefield that had already become a sea of fire in Xingkong, and took a deep breath.

"Little Fox Fairy, let's go."

The Footless Bird transformed into a silver streak and shot toward the southwestern region.

The spaceship sped along at an altitude of three thousand meters, while the scenery outside the portholes rushed backward.

The surface of Cold Nest Star's main planet was covered in ice that never melted year-round, but now the fleet's artillery had blasted those ice sheets full of holes. Explosions and flames were everywhere.

Fang Yan stood before the porthole, his gaze sweeping over the battlefield below.

The southwestern region was one of the main planet's three secondary continents, its terrain dominated by glacial canyons.

According to the intelligence, an immortal squad of the Spirit Magpie Race was stationed here.

"Master, life-sign readings have been detected thirty thousand miles ahead. They are suspected to be Immortal Level powerhouses!"

Little Fox Fairy's voice suddenly rang out.

Fang Yan narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance through the porthole.

A silver-white figure was rapidly weaving through the glaciers. Wherever he passed, Human Race World Lord warriors fell in droves.

It was a member of the Spirit Magpie Race. He was clearly preparing to head to the front lines and reinforce the immortal powerhouses.

"A High Army Lord?"

The corners of Fang Yan's mouth curled slightly upward.

"Perfect. I'll use him to warm up."

He took the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear from his World Ring. The spear was pale cyan throughout, and a faint cold glint flowed around its tip.

This spear was one of the rare treasures brought back from Wind Abyss Star. Although it was not comparable to a heavy treasure-grade weapon, it could already be considered divine in battles below the immortal level.

Fang Yan took a deep breath, and the Wind-Following Wings on his back suddenly spread open.

Six translucent cyan wings traced six dazzling paths through Xingkong as they shot toward the silver-white figure!

A cold gleam arrived first, then the spear shot forth like a dragon! (٩(๑^o^๑)۶)

The Spirit Magpie Race immortal had clearly sensed the danger as well. His body abruptly halted, and he turned around.

"A World Lord?"

After seeing Fang Yan's cultivation, the Spirit Magpie Race immortal was briefly stunned before a savage grin appeared on his face.

"You're courting death!"

With a beat of his wings, countless silver-white feathers detached from them and transformed into a sky-filling barrage of light blades, shooting toward Fang Yan from every direction.

Every light blade contained the power of immortality, enough to easily tear apart the defenses of any Peak World Lord.

The savage grin was still on the Spirit Magpie Race immortal's face when the feather light blades came flooding toward Fang Yan.

"Time Pause."

Fang Yan raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The Xingkong within a hundred miles froze in that instant.

The screaming feather light blades stopped in midair, and the grin on the Spirit Magpie Race immortal's face froze solid.

Fang Yan leisurely flapped the Wind-Following Wings, the six translucent cyan wings drawing an elegant arc through the frozen time and space.

He flew behind the Immortal Army Lord and slowly thrust out the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear in his hand, its tip pressing against the vital point at the back of his opponent's head.

Time began to flow again.

Pfft—

The spear tip pierced through his skull. Immortal divine power exploded, and before the Spirit Magpie Race immortal could understand what had happened, his divine body shattered with a bang.

"The first."

Fang Yan pulled out his spear, his face still carrying that refined, gentle smile.

Little Fox Fairy's voice came from the sensor, her tone rather subtle.

"Master, that finger snap just now... wasn't that a little too showy?"

"It's called a sense of ceremony."

Without changing expression, Fang Yan flapped his wings and flew toward his next target.

In less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, he killed four Immortal Army Lords in the southwestern war zone using the same method.

Time Pause combined with the piercing power of the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear left ordinary immortals with no ability to fight back against Fang Yan.

The enhancement from his Xun Cosmic Crystal, coupled with the hundredfold amplification of the Divine General Legacy, had raised his human avatar's combat strength to the High Marquis level. Fighting High Army Lord-level immortals was simply a complete massacre.

However, just as Fang Yan was preparing to search for a fifth target, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from deep within the glacier on his flank.

"Human World Lord..."

That voice was low and hoarse, carrying the texture of scraping metal.

The glacier exploded with a boom, and a silver-white figure shot into the sky. Four pairs of enormous wings spread behind him, every feather burning with silver flames.

Peak Marquis.

Fang Yan's pupils contracted slightly, but his expression remained calm.

"A mere World Lord dares to run wild on the territory of my Spirit Magpie Race?"

Before the Spirit Magpie Race Marquis had finished speaking, he had already transformed into a silver-white bolt of lightning and shot toward Fang Yan.

Fang Yan activated Time Pause without hesitation.

However, his opponent directly burned his divine body. The moment the power of time touched him, it was violently shaken apart.

The Spirit Magpie Race Marquis grinned savagely and swiped down with a claw. Fang Yan raised his spear to block, but he was sent flying and smashed into a towering glacier.

"Master!"

Little Fox Fairy's voice carried a trace of anxiety.

Fang Yan broke free from the glacier and dusted off his robe.

"Die!!"

The Spirit Magpie Race Marquis howled toward the sky. The silver flames burning around him suddenly surged, and his aura broke through the limits of Marquis in that instant, forcefully stepping into the Initial King level.

"Burning his divine body?!"

"To force me to burn my divine body, a mere World Lord like you can take pride in dying!"

The Spirit Magpie Race Marquis had gained King-level combat power.

The silver flames on his four pairs of wings burned so fiercely that even the void twisted. His speed became terrifyingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Fang Yan.

Fang Yan did not dodge. He raised his right arm, the wide sleeve of his cyan robe aimed at the silver-white figure.

His smile remained as gentle as ever.
