When Have I Ever Died?

Only Lin Xiao and Jiang Qu, who was protected by his Origin Qi, were not significantly affected.

Just then, the Void Return cultivators above Cloud Gathering City began to take action and started moving around!

As if they had planned it beforehand, they simultaneously formed hand seals, and Spiritual Power swirling around them, intertwined with spatial power, connected to each other, forming a huge star-shaped net above Cloud Gathering City that enveloped the dark giant.

"A bunch of... Void Return brats... also want to deal with me... The spiritual cultivation world is really getting worse and worse these days..." the black giant said.

Its sound seemed to be hidden in the mist, intermittent and indistinct, yet clearly close at hand.

With a slight raise of its hand, a burst of Execution Qi shot out from its arm and struck the Star Net above it. The moment the Execution Qi touched the Star Net, Execution Qi transformed into countless strands that scattered and entangled the spiritual threads in every corner of the net.

The thirty-two Void Return cultivators immediately sensed the Spiritual Power within the Star Net rapidly dissipating. They seized the time to input Spiritual Power and activate the Star Net, attempting to encircle and annihilate the giant black mist figure before it collapsed.

No matter how hard they tried to replenish their Spiritual Power, it couldn't keep up with the rate at which it was being lost. Before long, the Star Net collapsed!

All the cultivators who Void Return Realm had solemn expressions.

"I never imagined that Annihilation Immortal would actually be resurrected..." Lu Xunfeng's expression was very grim.

The black mist laughed, a hoarse, deep voice emanating from its swirling head. "Resurrection... When have I ever died? Back then... even your ancestors couldn't do anything to me... You little brats should go home and nurse!!"

Gongsun Jingge snorted coldly, "If we were truly no match for you, you wouldn't just be talking. Enough with the nonsense. It seems the legendary Annihilation Immortal of Annihilation is nothing special."

The leader of another sect nodded in agreement, saying, "If it were truly the true form of the Annihilation Immortal, according to the records, none of us would be able to withstand even a single blow from it. As for you, you are either an imposter or an avatar. In any case, it proves that we have the strength to fight!"

Before the words were even finished, the thirty-two Void Return cultivators all made their moves, unleashing a barrage of powerful Law Technique at the black mist!

The massive black mist was instantly blasted into pieces!

The ruins of Cloud Gathering City were completely reduced to dust by this wave of Law Technique attacks.

But in just a moment, the black mist coalesced again, returning to its original state.

The enormous black mist figure laughed, "Analysis is correct... This is indeed just an avatar of mine... But so what... It's more than enough to deal with you little brats...!"

Having said that, the Annihilation Immortal unleashed several colossal pythons formed from Execution Qi, swooping down on the Void Return cultivators in the sky!

Those giant pythons exuded boundless death energy, like demons from hell; even a low-level cultivator would lose their life force if they looked at them up close.

The thirty-two Void Return cultivators had tense expressions but showed no signs of panic. They all raised their hands and summoned their respective Law Treasure to jointly create a barrier to resist.

The giant python charged forward menacingly, but it couldn't harm them at all; its attacks were actually blocked by the barriers!

These cultivators who Void Return possess a variety of Law Treasure, but they all share one characteristic: they can protect cultivators from the effects of the Execution Qi!

Seeing this, the avatar of the Annihilation Immortal was quite surprised. "I didn't expect... your ancestors left you something..." With that, it suddenly changed its tone, "You think... these little trinkets are enough to defeat me?"

With a wave of its hands, a massive Execution Qi spread out from it, extending for hundreds of miles around. This aura gradually accelerated and began to rotate around it, eventually forming a huge vortex of airflow.

A massive vortex of air created a howling wind, uprooting and crushing plants on the ground, and grinding houses and stones into powder. Everything was swallowed up in the vortex!

The dark, heavy clouds in the sky seemed to be affected and became turbulent, with thick currents of electricity running wildly within them!

The cultivators who Void Return exchanged glances and nodded slightly. Then, they formed hand seals on the Law Treasure in their hands and cast the unsealing spell.

However, no one noticed that Yun Qianxin, the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Water Sect, made an extra movement while casting the spell.

The Law Treasure soared into the air, their bodies radiating dazzling, interconnected, and ever-growing brilliance!

Immediately, the light of those Law Treasure completely merged, and the next second, the dazzling light "hummed" and gradually spread downwards, forming an encirclement around the Annihilation Immortal below. From a distance, it looked like an inverted, dazzling giant bowl in the sky was covering down.

Wherever the dazzling light reached, the Execution Qi dissipated!

The massive, violently rotating vortex of Execution Qi below gradually lost its devouring power under the shimmering giant bowl, and as the bowl descended, the Execution Qi dissipated.

Upon seeing this, the avatar of the Annihilation Immortal immediately withdrew his attack and chuckled, "I didn't expect those dead people to have left you something... Your Grandpa Immortal has other matters to attend to... I'll play house with you another time when I have time..."

As soon as it finished speaking, it suddenly raised its hand and absorbed all the Execution Qi back, including that from all the wounded people who had been rescued in Cloud Gathering City.

Along with the Execution Qi, the life force of those cultivators was also taken away!

Any cultivators who had any lingering Execution Qi in their bodies had their life force completely taken away in that instant, leaving not a trace! In the blink of an eye, these cultivators' bodies were nothing but lifeless bones, as if they had been dead for many years.

Only Jiang Qu, whose life force was protected by Lin Xiao's Origin Qi, was not completely plundered and still had a breath left.

Although Jiang Qu was protected by Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao's abilities were ultimately limited. Even if he used his Origin Qi, he could not withstand the power of the Annihilation Immortal, who could fight against thirty-two Void Return cultivators on his own. Therefore, Jiang Qu, who was being protected, was only slightly better off than those wounded who died on the spot. He still had a breath left, but that was all he had left.

Seemingly knowing he was likely doomed, Jiang Qu smiled weakly, looking at Lin Xiao who was still pouring Spiritual Power into him in an attempt to save himself. He advised, "Fellow Daoist Lin... don't... waste your energy..."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, hold on a little longer! Hold on a little longer... I'll find a way to save you right away..." The person who was about to survive suddenly had only one breath left. Lin Xiao didn't care whether he still had any hope of living. He hurriedly poured Spiritual Power Origin Qi into the person's body in an alternating manner, trying to revitalize him.

However, the Annihilation Immortal by Ji Xian was too powerful. For Jiang Qu, who was already at his limit, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. No one could have saved him.
