I Bow Three Times Before the Immortal, Inviting the Immortal into My Spirit Palace to Help Me Battle the Firmament!
The Primordial Battle Platform of Black Tortoise Heaven lay within the Heavenfall Ancient Land, a secret realm known to all.
In less than half a day, Li Zhixing arrived at the Heavenfall Ancient Land in Black Tortoise Heaven.
An elder of the Mad Immortal Lineage had accompanied him.
The Li Lineage could not possibly let Li Zhixing travel to Black Tortoise Heaven alone; they would certainly send an elder to escort him.
Of course, this was only the one in plain sight. Quite a few more followed in secret!
Li Qingshu had also arrived at the Heavenfall Ancient Land, but she did not show herself. Instead, she chose to remain hidden and decide what to do as the situation unfolded.
By now, the area around the Heavenfall Ancient Land was already packed with people, crowded with heaven's chosen.
Imperial clans and aristocratic families rarely seen in ordinary times, as well as reclusive ancient clans, had all gathered.
Just then, a blood-colored immortal path pierced the sky, leading straight to the Heavenfall Ancient Land.
Amid that dazzling blood-colored immortal radiance, a figure in white appeared before everyone, carrying an enormous saber over his shoulder.
The youth's blood-red hair fluttered in the wind. One of his eyes was black, the other white, and the Dao charm of heaven and earth flowed through them, making them extraordinarily mysterious.
At that moment, another strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
Nine ink-black divine tortoises pulled a golden carriage through the air, its golden light dazzling and its divine might vast.
A young, handsome figure sat upright inside, black, arcane Qi coiling around him. A small snake resembling an azure dragon was curled on his shoulder, its presence unfathomable.
His black hair fell all the way to the ground, and his icy eyes seemed to hold terrifying scenes of Gods and Devils falling and myriad beings drowning in blood, striking fear into all who saw them.
With his saber over his shoulder, Li Zhixing looked at the young figure.
Deep in the youth's eyes, there was not a trace of fear. Instead, a hint of madness long suppressed lurked within them.
"The one this Holy Son challenged was the Li Lineage's Divine Son, or at the very least its First Holy Son, not you."
The young man, Xuan Yi, glanced at Li Zhixing, his cold, haughty voice devoid of emotion.
"You aren't qualified to make them act. To deal with you, I alone am enough."
Li Zhixing responded calmly and unhurriedly.
Though his opponent had fused with the Black Tortoise Emperor Bone and mastered the Heaven-Swallowing Ancient Emperor's divine ability,
he, Li Zhixing, was an heir of the Mad Immortal Lineage, the possessor of the Indestructible Dao Body, and also had an invincible Dao heart.
As his words fell, beneath the horrified gazes of the crowd,
Li Zhixing reversed his grip on his saber and plunged it into his own chest. Scalding blood spattered into the air, dyeing heaven and earth red.
At that moment, Li Zhixing's eyes gradually turned a dazzling crimson, like two burning immortal suns, terrifying beyond compare!
Boom!
An indescribably terrifying, savage might erupted fully from within Li Zhixing, piercing the clouds and reaching through heaven and earth!
"Blood as the lure, flesh and bone as the sheath. Let me taste for myself just how delicious... your blood really is. Jie jie jie!"
His eyes crimson as blood and his red hair whipping wildly, Li Zhixing slowly pulled the saber from his body and roared in madness.
As he drew the saber out, its once plain, ancient-looking blade was dyed bloodred. Talismans flickered across it, and Sha Qi surged to the heavens!
Ancient, blood-colored Dao patterns flowed along the saber, vivid and dazzling!
A destructive presence capable of suppressing and slaying immortals and devils surged from it without end, seemingly able to cleave apart heaven and earth through the ages!
"He's gone mad! The Li Lineage's Third Holy Son has gone mad again!"
The assembled heaven's chosen in the Heavenfall Ancient Land could not help turning pale with horror at the sight, recalling what had happened in the Supreme Secret Realm.
Apart from the members of the Li Lineage, every heaven's chosen who had entered the Supreme Secret Realm had perished, body and soul destroyed.
All of them had died by Li Zhixing's hand.
And now this fellow was about to go mad again!
"Mad Immortal Art, blood as the lure! I bow three times before the immortal, inviting the immortal into my spirit palace to help me battle the firmament!"
Li Zhixing laughed wildly, bit open his fingertip, and pressed it to the center of his brow.
An enchantingly vivid mark of immortal flame burned between his brows, flickering faintly, everlasting and inextinguishable!
Boom!
A supreme chaotic phantom quietly emerged behind Li Zhixing, like a divine lord who had split heaven from earth, holding apart the heavens and earth of all ages.
Then the chaotic phantom bent down and embraced Li Zhixing, gradually merging with him.
The next moment, the youth's presence began soaring like a rocket, and his terrifying fighting intent was like that of an ancient emperor's son descending into the mortal world!
Invite the immortal into the spirit palace!
Tonight, battle the firmament!
Brandishing his ten-meter-long blood-colored saber, Li Zhixing laughed madly and launched a frenzied assault on Xuan Yi.
"That's the Li Lineage's... Mad Immortal Art! It burns the user's own lifespan to increase all their attributes for a short time. I never expected this kind of forbidden art to appear in the world again!"
Fear filled the eyes of many older cultivators as they recalled certain scenes from the past.
The firmament wept blood, and seas of blood surged to the heavens!
"Mad Immortal Art."
Xuan Yi frowned slightly. The oppressive might of this Dao of slaughter brought him an inexplicable sense of pressure.
But that alone was still far from enough to threaten him.
"Black Tortoise great divine ability, Black Tortoise Expands the Firmament!"
Xuan Yi stepped out of the carriage and formed seals with his hands. Black Tortoise divine power surged, and clouds and mist churned across the sky.
Boom!
An enormous Black Tortoise manifestation stepped out of them, each step seemingly capable of crushing the netherworld.
The divine ability of Xuanming Divine Mountain, unleashed by Xuan Yi, struck the nine heavens above and suppressed the netherworld below. It was far more terrifying than when Xuan Xiao had used it.
Rumble!
The two mighty killing moves crashed head-on, erupting with world-destroying divine might, as though the end of the world had arrived.
The entire Heavenfall Ancient Land trembled and crumbled.
"Both are peerless heaven's chosen who can easily fight above their realms. Their combat strength is truly incredible!"
The crowd exclaimed in amazement. The combat strength the two had unleashed was so terrifying that they seemed like two young Supremes battling each other.
Li Zhixing dragged his saber with one hand, leaving a conspicuous trail as it scraped along the ground.
Scarlet ancient Dao patterns burrowed into the earth, forming a domain of the Dao of slaughter that completely enveloped this stretch of heaven and earth.
"That's the Mad Immortal Domain! It can weaken an opponent's combat strength and increase the user's attack power!"
A heaven's chosen cried out, eyes filled with horror.
Generally speaking, a domain was the mark of a Saint. Comprehending one in the Creation Realm had utterly stunned everyone present.
That was what made the Mad Immortal Art so terrifying: it was akin to drawing on one's future potential in advance to unleash one's peak combat strength in the present.
It was precisely because of this that most heirs of the Mad Immortal Lineage throughout the generations had died young.
"Mad Immortal Domain. You really aren't afraid of death!"
Xuan Yi's gaze sharpened slightly, and he snorted. His chest glowed, erupting with a brilliant, dazzling light.
He activated the Black Tortoise Supreme Bone to counteract the power of the Mad Immortal Domain's laws.
"The Black Tortoise Supreme Bone's unparalleled divine ability, Black Tortoise Tribulation Light!"
Another heaven's chosen cried out and sucked in a sharp breath.
That was a Supreme Bone!
Those who possessed a Supreme Bone were born with a Supreme divine ability and possessed the makings of a Supreme, able to easily step into the Supreme Realm.
Boom!
The moment the Black Tortoise Tribulation Light appeared, the sky above the Heavenfall Ancient Land went completely dark.
It was as though only that tribulation light remained between heaven and earth, radiating an undying brilliance.
Then the Black Tortoise Tribulation Light tore through the void, bearing down on Li Zhixing to suppress and kill him.
Li Zhixing unleashed the Mad Immortal Domain and used the Nine Forms of the Mad Immortal divine ability. Every blow carried heaven-shaking might as he fought Xuan Yi.
The sight left the onlookers trembling with fear.
"The Li Lineage's Third Holy Son can actually trade blows with Xuan Yi! He's a little too strong!"
Many were shaken, their expressions tinged with disbelief.
This fellow was only the Third Holy Son!
Wasn't he a little too fierce?
If even the Third Holy Son was this terrifying, just how strong were the Li Lineage's First and Second Holy Sons?
Finally, Xuan Yi used the divine ability he had inherited from the Heaven-Swallowing Ancient Emperor.
Li Zhixing, in turn, unleashed the Indestructible Dao Body's Supreme killing move.
That battle raged for a full day and night!
As the final boom rang out, the entire Heavenfall Ancient Land was left in ruins.
The saber in Li Zhixing's hand shattered into specks of light that filled the sky. He staggered back several hundred meters, his Qi and blood churning, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Xuan Yi likewise retreated a hundred paces. The hand beneath his sleeve trembled slightly, blood flowing from it, though he concealed it well.
At the sight, countless people held their breath, too shaken to speak.
Judging by their present conditions, Li Zhixing had fallen at a disadvantage.
But he was only the Li Lineage's Third Holy Son, while Xuan Yi was the foremost figure of Xuanming Divine Mountain.
That was rather terrifying...
