“It’s him. Didn’t he suffer a disaster years ago and as a consequence his state of mind collapsed? How has he suddenly recovered?!” Donghuang Kong’s expression turned grim the moment he recognized the man. Kong Jue! He was a living legend on the immortal path! Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥 Even in the Eighth Heaven Domain, Kong Jue’s name was renowned and feared, provoking apprehension even among the Ten Immortal Giants. However, many years ago, he had suffered a mental tribulation that caused his dao heart to collapse, leaving him deranged and confused. To the Ten Immortal Giants, Kong Jue was no longer a threat. Many years ago, in pursuit of the fortune within the Nirvana of Transcendence, the Donghuang Clan had once taken advantage of his disoriented state and tricked him into taking action to seize the immortal fortune. “Indeed, many years ago, he lost all his cultivation and has since been wandering the streets of Chaotian City like a cripple. If not for the protection of the Haotian law spirit, he would’ve been killed countless times...” Zhongli Jue’s expression was icy. Others might be ignorant of Kong Jue’s true identity, but for these immortal giants from the Eighth Heaven Domain, how could they possibly not know? Back when word spread that Kong Jue had lost all his cultivation and fallen to the streets of Chaotian City, these immortal giants had personally gone to investigate. The conclusion was unanimous: with his mental state shattered, Kong Jue’s cultivation was irreparably crippled and there was no hope of recovery. Now... He had unleashed unparalleled power. The shock of it caught these Immortals completely off guard, leaving them shaken and full of doubt. “He’s just putting on an act!” Chi Canghun snorted coldly, “His mind is broken and his cultivation has long since been destroyed. In my opinion, this old fool is bluffing. He won’t last long!” With a flap of his silver wings, divine immortal light surged around him as his aura became even more fearsome. None of them truly believed Kong Jue had recovered. Without hesitation, he attacked. One wing rose like a divine blade, stretching across the heavens, wreathed in immortal sharpness as it slashed down toward Kong Jue. “So...you all still remember me...” Kong Jue simply stood there with disheveled hair and a dazed gaze. A sigh escaped his lips. In that moment of clarity, it looked as if countless memories stirred deep within him. As the massive silver wing slashed down, he didn't move an inch, but a wisp of misty sword qi silently swept out from him. The sword qi seemed soft and effortless, yet in an instant, it split the silver wing like paper, slicing off a chunk of flesh. Its sharpness was utterly beyond comprehension. Chi Canghun let out a pained cry, his expression twisted in shock as he immediately pulled back. Everyone present was shaken to the core! Some were gripped by terror. Just one streak of sword qi had crushed Chi Canghun’s killing strike. Could it be that Kong Jue had indeed regained his cultivation? For a moment, a heavy silence descended over the scene. Although these Immortals had never personally faced Kong Jue in battle before, they had long heard of his legendary feats and knew full well how terrifying his mastery of the immortal path was. Long ago, he was just a newcomer to the Eighth Heaven Domain. Though he had some renown, the Ten Immortal Giants never regarded him as a real threat. Later, during a battle over a fortune tied to a law power, Kong Jue was besieged by numerous Immortal powerhouses. Despite being alone, he forcefully broke through their encirclement! In that desperate situation, surrounded on all sides, he fought his way in and out alone, slaughtering several Immortals and gravely wounding many more! The battle sent shockwaves throughout the entire Eighth Heaven Domain. His terrifying and extraordinary strength shook even the Ten Immortal Giants. From that point on, Kong Jue faced one harrowing battle after another. Each time, he stirred up a storm that plunged the Eighth Heaven Domain into chaos, striking fear into the hearts of countless experts. It would not be an exaggeration to say that, back then, he was a terrifying anomaly, a powerful existence that none could ignore. His accomplishments and mastery along the immortal path chilled even ancient Immortal-level monsters who had lived for countless years. If he had not suffered a sudden mental tribulation that plunged him into madness, the Eighth Heaven Domain likely would have been soaked in blood now. Now, this ruthless cultivator feared by many throughout the Eighth Heaven Domain seemed to be showing signs of regaining his former power. How could anyone not be shaken? “Martial Uncle, you finally admit you were wrong back then...that you misjudged me!” Ling Xuanzi beamed brightly, his heart light with joy. With Kong Jue’s sudden appearance, all his worries were swept away. He would never forget the words his martial uncle once said during a visit to Fangchun Mountain when he was young. “This boy was born with a rebellious and unstable nature. If he turned to evil, he would become a true calamity to the world.” Those words still echoed in Ling Xuanzi’s mind. Kong Jue smiled faintly. “It seems these years of suppression have tempered your nature. Naturally, I must look at you with new eyes.” “Hmph! Still in the mood for chit-chat? I’ll send both of you off right now!” Donghuang Kong’s cold snort rang out from the distance. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a giant bell. The great bell rang, grand and mysterious. Chaos qi surged from its surface as deep, resounding hums echoed through the heavens making the entire world seem on the verge of collapse. Boundless divine power radiated from the bell’s body, condensing into ancient dao runes that shone brilliantly like they were forged from celestial gold. A ripple of shock spread through the other Immortals. None expected Donghuang Kong to bring out his clan’s most precious treasure for this battle. This was a legendary Immortal weapon renowned throughout the Eighth Heaven Domain, known for its boundless might! “Everyone, things have reached this point. If we don’t use our ultimate killing moves now, these Fangchun Mountain remnants will think we’re useless!” Donghuang Kong’s expression turned menacing. “As it should be,” Chi Canghun spoke. With a breath, he spat out a palm-leaf fan wreathed in swirling auspicious mist. As it hovered in the air, four kinds of immortal radiance, wind, lightning, earth and fire, surged forth, each exuding a terrifying and extraordinary power. Four Spirits Palm-Leaf Fan! It was another peerless Immortal weapon! At the same time, Mu Jiangshan, Zhongli Jue, and Qi Tianlin each summoned their own treasures—an ancient divine whip, a pair of heavy copper maces, and a nine-colored divine stone. Donghuang Kong roared and was the first to strike. The Donghuang Bell quaked with divine might as it hurtled toward Kong Jue at terrifying speed, aiming to suppress him completely. Auspicious qi surged in waves as divine light flooded the skies. The deep, resonant toll of the bell rang like the creation of a new world, shaking the cosmos and tearing the void asunder. The sight was awe-inspiring. Before the blow could land, a divine whip tore through the air faster than sound. Like a chain of heavenly law, it lashed down with blazing brilliance, engulfing the sky as it struck toward Kong Jue. It was said that even immortals would lose their soul and essence if struck by this treasure. It was a domineering artifact that directly targeted the divine soul. Kong Jue’s eyes gleamed like lightning as he stood motionlessly. However, thirty-three layers of celestial realms surged forth from him. Within them, countless ancient kingdoms rose and fell, billions of living beings prayed and worshipped, and even the gods and Buddhas lowered their heads in reverence, chanting scriptures. An unparalleled immortal aura radiated from Kong Jue, as if he was the supreme sovereign of the thirty-three heavens, standing proudly above all creations! With a casual flick of his fingers, he sent the Desolation Whip flying off to the side. At the same time, with a wave of his hand, a celestial world condensed and transformed into a streak of sword qi. It appeared in his grasp and swept outward with effortless grace. Donghuang Kong let out a muffled grunt and staggered back. The mighty Donghuang Bell was swept aside by the sword qi, its mournful toll echoing through the cosmos. A strange, violent gale howled into existence, surging with the profound powers of four immortal laws, wind, lightning, earth and fire. Chi Canghun made his move. With a light wave of the Four Spirits Palm-Leaf Fan, the entire world was instantly engulfed by a terrifying raging gale that spread wildly across the heavens. Kong Jue stood rooted in place. With a flourish of his sleeve, streaks of sword qi shot out like divine rainbows of order, tearing the raging gale to shreds. In an instant, the immortal laws of wind, thunder, earth, and fire collapsed, dissolving into a shower of light that drifted through the skies. Chi Canghun’s dharma body towered skyward. While wielding the Four Spirits Palm-Leaf Fan, he spread his silver wings wide, vast enough to blot out the sky, and beat them fiercely to deflect the incoming sword qi. In a flash, the pair of silver wings behind Chi Canghun that looked like clouds hanging low in the sky were cleaved by the sword qi, spraying blood across the void. The scene left everyone stunned! Ling Xuanzi and Lin Xun exchanged glances and couldn’t help but gasp. In the blink of an eye, Martial Uncle Kong Jue had effortlessly broken through the ultimate killing moves of several Immortal powerhouses. His movements were calm and unhurried, yet displayed unmatched brilliance and power! This was Kong Jue. As soon as his consciousness was awakened, he unleashed his peerless might. Though his robes were tattered and his hair disheveled, the figure standing there was like a supreme sovereign, ruling over the heavens. Wisps of immortal aura flowed around him as the thirty-three heavens emerged in his presence! Each layer of heaven was a world of its own, home to countless ancient kingdoms. Within them, endless living beings bowed in reverence, their chanting of scriptures echoing across the void. It was a sight that could shake the world for eternity. It was grand, strange, and utterly beyond imagination! Across the battlefield, Chi Canghun came to a halt, his wings severed and blood dripping. He had been injured and he looked utterly disheveled. Donghuang Kong, Mu Jiangshan and the others also looked grim. At this moment, Kong Jue was exactly as terrifying as the legends had described, making them feel deeply unsettled. “I don’t have much time...” Kong Jue murmured. A flicker of pain flashed across his eyes. Then, he stepped forward and threw a punch. The thirty-three ancient worlds rose and fell, evolving all creation, with rivers of stars surging across the sky. As the earthshaking punch unleashed, the ancient chanting of scriptures echoed. This was undoubtedly a peerless strike. Blood and qi pierced through the sun and moon, while heaven and earth seemed to fall into a cycle of destruction and rebirth, plunging the world into a terrifying spectacle. Mu Jiangshan was the first to bear the brunt. He tried to evade, but the force had already locked onto him. Trapped and with no way to escape, he could only confront it head-on. Even though he poured all his strength into resisting, he still couldn’t withstand the blow. His body exploded like a shattered star. The might behind it was like the punch of a supreme sovereign, unyielding, unstoppable and invincible. It was the ultimate strike. Everyone was stunned. Just one punch was enough to obliterate the body of Mu Jiangshan, a Nirvana Spirit Immortal. How terrifyingly domineering was that? Peerlessly astonishing! Enough to leave the world in awe! Mu Jiangshan, reduced to nothing but a wisp of primordial spirit, let out a sharp scream after narrowly escaping destruction. His face twisted in horror as if deeply shaken to the core. The other Immortals all felt a chill pierce their hearts. How could they possibly fight this...?
