The True Immortals of Xuanxian Continent retreated at first, not truly willing to withdraw into Xuanxian Continent. After all, their world is also connected to Earth. In this era of great contention, if they were determined to shrink into a corner, they would eventually be invaded. However, today’s war suddenly broke out, with the Xuanxian Continent’s base becoming the first target, and the base had been swept clean by two True Immortal-level forces. At that time, the True Immortals stepping in was meaningless, the momentum was lost, and they could only retreat. Thus, they feigned weakness, enticing the Demon Kings to strike. Although the plan succeeded, unfortunately, the two Demon Kings were too disappointing, one died and one fled, completely failing to cause any losses to Earth’s experts. As for the Evil Gods of the Dark World, they were nothing more than paper tigers, with three Ancient Gods slain consecutively, eventually fleeing far away. However, after all these battles, it was not without effect, as at least Li Yi and others were already exhausted. If the True Immortals were to step in now, they might well reap the benefit and capture everyone in one fell swoop, but there is also a risk of attracting the hostility of an unknown Great Realm, or as Cang Erzi said, the other side might still have a trump card... Yet the True Immortals didn’t have much time to think. Because as time passed, Li Yi and others, who returned to the Earth Defense Line, were quickly recovering mana and adjusting their states. "Hundreds of Mahayana Cultivators have died, and more than a dozen Human Immortals. If we True Immortals retreat back to Xuanxian Continent, people’s hearts will be unstable, and there would be much criticism." A female True Immortal couldn’t help but speak up at this moment. The implication was clear, as True Immortals, they must do something. "The opponent’s combat strength is not simple. That Li Yi has already reached True Immortal-level strength, along with Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi, these two strong cultivators are evidently not easy to deal with." An elderly True Immortal hesitated slightly. "However, Wang Chengjun and Li Weiguo are already of little use. Their strength has severely declined, and the three experts on the other side have fought successive battles with significant consumption. While we have six people, teaming up greatly increases the chance of victory." Another True Immortal was eager to try. After all, the situation on the other side has always been in view, they are well aware. "Taihao, you make the decision." Then the other True Immortals looked at Taihao True Immortal, hoping he could make a decision. Taihao True Immortal, after brief contemplation and observing everyone’s attitude, immediately decided: "Let’s proceed as Cang Erzi said, the six of us will strike a peak blow together, completely destroy the Earth Defense Line, and send Li Yi and all of them on their way at once." "The opponent’s mana has already been mostly depleted, they might not even be able to wield the Demon King Weapon. If we can’t win this, then I have nothing to say." "Alright, that’s settled." The other True Immortals immediately agreed, their six joining forces would be enough to collapse this continent, eradicating all major hidden dangers in one breath. For Xuanxian Continent, this is absolutely a good thing. Moreover, this also gives a satisfactory explanation to every sect. A smiling Cang Erzi stroked his beard at this moment. In the eyes of other True Immortals, he seemed to be assured of certain victory, but in reality, his smile hid a chilling killing intent. "Since that’s the case, let’s not wait. Let’s attack immediately." Taihao True Immortal immediately said, then he no longer concealed, his divine sense scanned the area, and his whole person disappeared without a trace. The surrounding other five True Immortals also disappeared together. The True Immortal’s divine sense is enough to span two realms, a single instant teleportation can bring them from Xuanxian Continent to Earth; distance is simply not an issue to them. When the six True Immortals appeared above the Earth Defense Line, a terrifying wave of energy immediately spread out. Despite being only the condensation of immortal power, the residual might ripped open the cloud sea above the sky, and a suffocating aura instantly reached the ground. Those resting within the Earth Defense Line immediately felt their hair stand on end, sensing lethal killing intent enveloping their entire bodies. The extent of this killing intent was unimaginably vast, even affecting the entire continent. Fresh chapters posted on N()velFire.net "What? Another powerful enemy is attacking?" A cultivator jumped in shock. "This aura... Damn, it’s the True Immortals of Xuanxian Continent, they’ve joined forces and descended upon the battlefield." Ye Jingtian raised his head, although he was too far to see the enemy’s figure, he could see the infinite cosmic energy converging. If the enemy’s strike falls, everyone on the battlefield will likely die, even the protection from Red Gold Battle Armor would be useless, unless they can hide in the Immortal Dao Battleship immediately and open the cross-border gate to escape. But the other side is prepared, there’s no way it could be done. "The True Immortals of Xuanxian Continent are so shameless, taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack." Xiang Xiangzi immediately understood everything, she became furious. She immediately took out a sword and was ready to fight the True Immortals to the death. But she had just fought fiercely and hadn’t rested. Her mana wasn’t even at forty percent; at this moment, even if she fought desperately, she was most likely delivering herself to her demise, finding it hard to defeat True Immortals in peak state. Moreover, the number of opponents far surpassed herself. Beside her, Xuan Yuezi also felt extremely angry at the shameful actions of the True Immortals. They previously agreed to withdraw from Earth, never to appear again, yet their words turned out to be mere empty promises, as unreliable as farts. Such untrustworthiness, do they even deserve to be True Immortals? "Immortal, Bodhisattva Physical Statue." However, Li Yi immediately flew over, and shouted urgently. With this shout, Xiang Xiangzi’s body trembled, she immediately regained her rationality from anger. She almost forgot, she had a Bodhisattva Physical Statue in her Storage Taoist Artifact, this was the last trump card, unutilized during previous battles. Now, she couldn’t care much anymore. The Bodhisattva Physical Statue was immediately brought out. This seemingly ordinary Divine Statue of Bodhisattva embodies the power of the Heavenly Dragon. Master Yulian used this Physical Bodhisattva Statue to defeat the Sky Moon Demon King at that time. "I will inhabit this Bodhisattva Statue..." Xiang Xiangzi immediately intended to let his Primordial Spirit leave his body. "No, Immortal, let me. I have the Red Lotus Protecting Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect and the support of incense, making me more suitable to inhabit the Physical Bodhisattva Statue. Please, both of you Immortals, guard my body." Li Yi immediately stopped Xiang Xiangzi, then his Primordial Spirit Dharma Image detached from his body and charged directly into the Physical Bodhisattva Statue. However, even though Li Yi’s action was swift enough, the attack of six True Immortals was brewing and forming at this moment. At this moment, the sky was torn apart, and under the residual power, the land thousands of miles around was left scarred, filled with cracks, with some places even spewing lava, seas flowing backward, and all sorts of natural disasters like gales, lightning, and torrential rain occurring all around. This world seemed to be entering doomsday all at once. Not only did cultivators within the Earth Defense Line feel alarmed, but even the people in the ten survival bases far from the battlefield were restless. As evolvers, they could sense the unusual nature of this trembling. Previously, it was merely the normal aftershock of great battles, but this time it was an annihilating force. Indeed, the True Immortals of Xuanxian Continent were truly ruthless, aiming to smash this continent with one blow while burying all the immensely potential experts like Li Yi, instantly reversing the heavens and bringing a grand victory to Xuanxian Continent. "Winning at the start doesn’t count as winning; only laughing at the end does. With the six of us True Immortals sending you off together, you can consider your lives not lived in vain." Taihao True Immortal unleashed all his power without reservation, delivering the most pinnacle strike. The other True Immortals did the same. Yet at this critical moment, everything originally planned was suddenly interrupted by a piercing scream. An old True Immortal met with unexpected disaster and was struck by a terrifying blow. Due to having no defenses and all his mana concentrated on brewing that peak strike, his immortal body was shattered in an instant, and his Primordial Spirit was directly obliterated. This change startled everyone. Immediately afterward, Taihao True Immortal also suffered a strike, with more than half of his body being blasted to pieces and his Primordial Spirit severely injured. If not for wearing an immortal armor, he might not have survived. "Cang Erzi, what are you doing?" a female True Immortal witnessed an unbelievable scene. It was seen that Cang Erzi, with thunderous momentum, first killed a True Immortal and then forcefully wounded Taihao True Immortal. Without hesitation, he directly attacked another True Immortal. "Damn it." This True Immortal realized the situation, hurriedly waved a hand, and an immortal sword emerged, temporarily blocking Cang Erzi’s assault while he quickly retreated to a safer distance. "It’s a pity; just sent one True Immortal off the road. I hoped that last strike could also take Taihao True Immortal with him." Seeing the failed surprise attack, Cang Erzi stopped his advance and turned to defense. "Cough cough, Cang Erzi, why are you doing this?" Taihao True Immortal, miserable and bloodied, his combat power entirely lost, now uncertain if he could safely return to Xuanxian Continent. "I come from the Cultivation World, close friends with Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi. Since crossing worlds, I’ve been lurking as a Loose Cultivator in Xuanxian Continent, not only to gather intelligence but also to learn Cultivation Techniques. Now the time is ripe, no need to hide anymore." Cang Erzi casually glanced over the few remaining True Immortals. Hearing this, the True Immortals were both shocked and outraged. They had not expected that a traitor had been lurking amongst them, and had it not been for their plan to attack the Earth Defense Line today, Cang Erzi might have continued hiding. But now exposed, Cang Erzi delivered them a fatal blow. Two True Immortals, one dead and one heavily injured, not to mention their combined attack had been disrupted. That world-ending strike’s power was severely diminished, only three True Immortals managing to jointly launch it. Such power fell far short of expectations and was likely to be thwarted by Earth’s experts. And so it proved in reality. A sound of a Heavenly Dragon reverberated, astonishingly withstanding the combined strike of three True Immortals, endless energy exploding in midair, seemingly overturning the sky, revealing innumerable spatial cracks, occasionally opening gates to unknown worlds. "Senior Cang Erzi did well. Join forces with me to strike down these True Immortals; they must not escape." Then a voice laced with killing intent came forth. Radiant Buddha light enveloped. A Physical Bodhisattva, with lowered brows and closed eyes, palms together, feet treading on Red Lotus, swiftly flew forth. This Physical Bodhisattva Statue was surrounded by the shadow of the Heavenly Dragon, unstoppable wherever it went, extraordinarily domineering. It was Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit inhabiting the Bodhisattva Statue, invoking the Divine Power of the Heavenly Dragon Vast Power Bodhisattva to attack. Under such divine power, Li Yi felt his strength had surpassed the Demon King Level, reaching a new height, although harnessing this immense force came at a cost. Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect felt as heavy as if bearing a mountain, constantly enduring the backlash of the Heavenly Dragon’s power. If he continued , his Primordial Spirit would shatter, even leading to his demise. Fortunately, the Supreme Treasure Red Lotus shielded him, sparing Li Yi the risk of his Primordial Spirit shattering. Yet even so, his Primordial Spirit Power was depleting at an alarming rate. Thus, he could not maintain this state for long.
