Chapter 169: Confrontation

“Master, your servant is too weak to fight anymore. Be cautious of that world-defying powerhouse!”

At this moment, Chen Ansheng received a weak transmission from the Alien Immortal.

“Is he still alive?”

Chen Ansheng asked in surprise.

“This person has an extremely strong vitality. Your servant has exhausted all soul power and could only severely injure him, not kill him. Please forgive me, Master.”

The Alien Immortal gave an affirmative reply.

Chen Ansheng’s heart sank as he asked, “Is there any other way to help me escape from here?”

The Alien Immortal replied, “Please first recall your servant, and then wait for the right moment.”

“Alright.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng moved his intent.

Bang!

The great halberd embedded in the Immortal King’s chest withdrew and flew back, raising a blood mist that obscured the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the divine weapon landed in Chen Ansheng’s hand.

Grasping the divine weapon, Chen Ansheng felt more at ease.

“Master, that world-defying powerhouse requires treatment to preserve his life and cannot move for a while. You must quickly join forces with that purple-skinned woman to break through this realm’s restrictions in order to escape!” the Alien Immortal said.

Chen Ansheng had a different plan in mind: “If I attack now and unleash my realm, can I rely on this divine weapon to kill that powerful being?”

The Alien Immortal quickly stopped him, “Master, you must not. That powerhouse has already transcended the rules and is not restricted by my version of the realm. Furthermore, without your servant within the realm, it will be fragile. Even if he cannot act, his presence alone could crush the realm and slay your physical body.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng immediately abandoned that impractical thought.

At the same time, he also understood why the Immortal King could still unleash his full strength when the Alien Immortal unfolded the Alien World – according to the Alien Immortal, Immortal King level beings transcend the rules, thus aren’t confined by the limitations of the Alien World.

Afterward, Chen Ansheng’s intent entered the great halberd to check the situation.

There, the artifact spirit formed by the Alien Immortal had already cracked into several pieces within the groove on the stone tablet.

“How can I heal you?”

Chen Ansheng did not want to lose this powerful artifact spirit.

“Although your servant’s soul force is exhausted, I will not vanish yet. With a few years of dormancy, I can revive through the array patterns inside the divine weapon.”

The Alien Immortal responded.

“Good, then slumber as soon as possible.”

“Your servant obeys.”

The Alien Immortal used the arcane pattern talismans to gather the shattered soul fragments, shut down his consciousness, and entered a dormant state.

Then, Chen Ansheng put away the great halberd and transmitted sound to the Saintess Ziyun, “That Immortal King is not dead yet, and he’s still undergoing treatment. We must quickly resolve the situation with that Lord Lin, open a path, and consider our next move!”

Saintess Ziyun respectfully replied, “Your servant understands.”

In the next moment, Saintess Ziyun activated the Blood Malefic Powers, and countless Death Soldiers hovered out from nowhere, inheriting her state as a Celestial Immortal of the later stage!

Exactly three hundred Death Soldiers, all emitting auras of Celestial Immortals at later stages!

What a frightening force this was!

Precisely because of this, none of the several immortal mansions or clans on the territory of Southern Shan dared to provoke the Purple Cloud Saint Cavern easily!

On the opposite side stood Lord Lin, an equally Celestial Immortal at the late stage, along with several seniors, facing this enormous threat with a calm expression.

“I’ve heard you old witch possess a monstrous skill capable of assimilating three hundred soldiers. It seems the rumors are not false!”

Lord Lin said with a heavy tone.

Hearing the words ‘old witch’, Saintess Ziyun’s heart flared with righteous wrath. It was the phrase she detested most.

“Lin Hengyuan, you old scoundrel, you know this Holy Mother has this divine art, yet you still refuse to kneel and accept your demise? Just how much more time do you need?”

“Ha ha ha!”

Lin Hengyuan erupted into a mix of anger and maniacal laughter.

In the next second, his expression hardened as he roared, “You audacious thing! Do you really think the head of my manor cannot handle you!”

Bang!

The moment his words ended, Lin Hengyuan’s momentum surged, celestial light shooting towards the sky.

Though his might couldn’t match that of the Immortal King, it was still enough to suppress Celestial Immortals of the late stage.

Feeling that overwhelming presence, the heart of Saintess Ziyun sank, uttering involuntarily, “So, old scoundrel, you’ve successfully ascended to the peak Celestial Immortal realm!”

That’s right!

The current realm Lin Hengyuan was exuding belonged to the peak Celestial Immortal!

Thus, the incoming battle would involve three hundred Celestial Immortals of the late stage versus Lin Hengyuan, at peak Celestial Immortal, alongside several Elders, whose actual depths were uncertain!

Sensing the complete disappearance of the advantageous position, Chen Ansheng quickly transmitted a question: “Can you handle this?”

Saintess Ziyun replied, “Young Master, please rest assured. Even if I perish completely, I will ensure your protection!”

Even with these words, Chen Ansheng couldn’t feel reassured at all.

“Old witch, give up your life!”

Lin Hengyuan screamed, charging in for the attack.

“Realm of Frozen Blizzards, Activate!”

As Lin Hengyuan’s realm unfolded, a bone-chilling frost covered an area of several thousand kilometers within the vicinity.

Anyone under this realm would have their various abilities slowed down to some degree.

“Hmph! Demon Flame Realm, Activate!”

However, Saintess Ziyun also had her own tricks. With her low growl, a layer of black mystic flames unfolded within the Frozen Blizzards realm, resisting part of the cold.

“Chuckle, mere tricks!”

Lin Hengyuan sneered and signaled the nearby Elders with a look, transmitting sound, “I will focus on suppressing the old witch and her Death Soldiers completely. Elders, quickly kill the rest of the evil sect members, especially that mongrel Chen Ansheng. If you don’t grind their bones into powder, bring me your heads!”

The Elders immediately obeyed, “Yes, Lord!”

“Kill!”

Lin Hengyuan transformed into a streak of celestial light, charging into the formation composed of Celestial Immortal late-stage Death Soldiers.

Saintess Ziyun immediately retaliated by summoning a green ring, sending it toward Lin Hengyuan.

The sky trembled once again, celestial energy rippling violently, and the thunderous explosion echoing throughout, causing the ground beneath to crack and split open with enormous fissures.

On Chen Ansheng’s side, when the battle commenced, eight Celestial Immortals at the late stage from the death soldiers automatically encircled and protected him and Zhong Li.

Among those, the Ghost Grandfather was also present.

Unlike the other Death Soldiers, even after inheriting the stage of Saintess Ziyun, Ghost Grandfather still retained his self-consciousness.

“Boy, die!”

Just at that moment, a withered hand suddenly shot out from below Chen Ansheng.

The alarming energy of the Celestial Immortal emanating from it made Chen Ansheng tremble internally.

“Never!”

Ghost Grandfather roared in anger, transforming into a streak of dim light rushing toward the massive hand.

The other Death Soldiers, meanwhile, channeled their celestial power to protect Chen Ansheng and Zhong Li, then carried them away from the dangerous zone.

Bang! Bang! Bang…

The moment Chen Ansheng and Zhong Li left, several Elders from the immortal mansion immediately emerged from that area and engaged with Ghost Grandfather.

“Late stage Celestial Immortal!”

From a distance, Zhong Li sensed the realms of these immortal mansion’s Elders and couldn’t help but gasp.

She had never imagined that the Sun Yang Immortal Mansion possessed so many powerful experts!

“You all, hurry and assist my Senior Brother!”

Zhong Li issued orders to the other Death Soldiers, but these individuals showed no signs of moving.

Chen Ansheng knit his brows. If Ghost Grandfather had to fight four enemies, he would likely fall soon. After all, the Elders were genuine Celestial Immortals at the late stage, whereas Ghost Grandfather had just been elevated to this realm through an art, making his combat power less.

“One person should remain to protect us, the rest should go assist!”

Thus, Chen Ansheng also gave out an order.

Once his command was issued, six late-stage Celestial Immortal Death Soldiers moved immediately and charged out after receiving the order.
