Chapter 170: Visitors from the Sacred Land

Seeing this, Zhong Li couldn’t help but pout, feeling extremely displeased.

She thought to herself, “Master must have favored that stupid donkey, otherwise why would he be so biased, even putting the Death Soldiers under his command?”

Then, she glared fiercely at Chen Ansheng, “You better confess honestly, did my Master take care of you or not!”

Looking at Zhong Li’s angry expression, Chen Ansheng suddenly noticed that the Demoness seemed different, no longer as fierce as before, and there was now a hint of girlishness to her.

“Hehe, why don’t you say that it was me who dealt with your Master?” Chen Ansheng winked, grinning mischievously.

“Go die!” A glint of intent flashed in Zhong Li’s eyes, suddenly feeling an impulse to challenge Chen Ansheng.

“I’m just joking…” Chen Ansheng, sensing her gaze, couldn’t help but shrink his neck. Was the Demoness serious this time?

…

In another dimension, where the battle was fierce, above the realm of the Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion, eighteen peak Celestial Immortals accompanied a man and a woman, watching the ongoing battle below through a barrier.

“Your Highness, the Saint Son, that Immortal King is already heavily wounded. It’s a good opportunity to force him to yield to our master. Should we act?”

The young man, fanning himself with a jade dragon-skin fan, said lightly, “He is an Immortal King. Even if he is heavily injured, he still has his dignity and authority. How can a few insignificant Celestial Immortals like you coerce him? The Saint Lord ordered me to peacefully take over South Zhan; this shouldn’t be difficult, but the sudden appearance of an Immortal King is unexpected.”

Beside him, a woman dressed in colorful gauze, with an extraordinary aura, coldly interjected, “He is just a fledgling Immortal King. Senior Brother Mo, why are you wary of him? Just speak of the prestige of our Red Lotus Sacred Land, and do you think he would dare disobey?”

The young man shook his head, speaking in a teaching tone, “Junior Sister, you are mistaken. The Immortal Realm is vast, filled with countless powerful and dominant figures. How can you be so presumptuous as to regard an Immortal King as nothing? If this leads to unforeseen consequences, how will you bear the responsibility?”

The woman’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment from the reprimand. “Then what do you suggest we do? Should we ask that Immortal King to yield South Zhan?”

“That won’t do!” Before the young man could speak, an elder among the peak Celestial Immortals said, “We act on behalf of the Saint Lord. We represent the dignity of the entire Red Lotus Sacred Land. How can we bow to a rogue Immortal King? That would tarnish our prestige!”

“Hehe.” The young man smiled lightly and said, “It’s certainly impossible to bow and plead. However, granting him some benefits to use for our Sacred Land would not be a loss.”

“What benefits are you preparing to offer him, Senior Brother?” the woman asked.

“Quite simple.” The young man placed his hands behind his back and spoke calmly, “Do you know why the Saint Lord suddenly wants to take over the impoverished land of South Zhan?”

“We do not know, please enlighten us, Your Highness.” An elder asked.

The young man didn’t reply directly but communicated through sound transmission, “Elder Xue has foreseen the heavenly mandate and discovered that in the region of South Zhan, three innate Dao Fruits will soon emerge!”

“Innate Dao Fruits!”

Hearing this, the others were shocked.

The so-called innate Dao Fruit is the best innate treasure for an Immortal King to advance into the realm of Dao. Just one can help a fledgling Immortal King break into the mid-stage without obstacles!

Currently, the Red Lotus Sacred Land has three Immortal Kings eager to break through.

If they obtain these three Dao Fruits, the foundational strength of the Red Lotus Sacred Land will significantly improve, potentially attracting the favor of an Immortal Sovereign to include them in their influence!

At that point, the Red Lotus Sacred Land would truly step onto the grand stage of the Immortal Realm!

“So, you plan to promise that Immortal King one Dao Fruit?!”

The woman exclaimed in surprise.

“Hehe, there are actually four fruits; what’s wrong with promising him one?” the young man replied.

“But you just said there were three; how has it changed to four…” The woman started to speak, suddenly realizing, “Senior Brother is brilliant!”

“Your Highness, if we proceed this way, that Immortal King will eventually know we deceived him. What will we do when that happens?” an elder asked.

The young man said flatly, “What I mean by not wanting to get involved in causality is to avoid killing him and attracting the attention of other forces, which would affect our pursuit of the Dao Fruits. Once we have the Dao Fruits in hand, do we need to worry? If he submits, fine; if he has rebellious thoughts, we’ll see if he can withstand the Saint Lord’s palm!”

The others understood the Saint Son’s intentions and nodded in agreement.

“As for the other forces, such as those Demon Cultivators and the former powers of South Zhan, how will you handle them, Saint Son?”

“Only a few insignificant ants. Those willing to submit will be accepted, and those who refuse will face consequences! However, the Saint Lord’s intention is to minimize conflict to avoid complications.”

“We understand.”

…

Within the restricted space, the battle continued.

Lin Hengyuan held his ground against two hundred and ninety-three peak Celestial Immortals by himself, showing no sign of losing, even shattering several Death Soldiers!

Meanwhile, Chen Ansheng, along with Ghost Grandfather and a few Death Soldiers, faced four peak Celestial Immortals and was clearly at a disadvantage, showing signs of defeat.

“I wonder if I can restrict those old bastards by unleashing the Alien World.”

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Chen Ansheng wanted to help, and the only thing he could offer was the “Alien World.”

However, from the information provided by the “Heavenly Divine Stone”, he learned that the stability of the unleashed Alien World depended on the strongest individual present.

For instance, earlier when Chen Ansheng unleashed the Alien World, its stability was enough to withstand an Immortal King’s attack due to the presence of an Alien Immortal.

But now that the soul of the Alien Immortal had shattered and gone dormant, using his current Alien cultivator realm to create the world would undoubtedly be much weaker.

“Who cares? In battles of such experts, even a moment’s impact can alter the outcome!”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ansheng decided to give it a shot.

Before unleashing the Alien World, Chen Ansheng first instructed Zhong Li, “Junior Sister, prepare your treasures. Once the Alien World appears, we’ll strike together, not to injure them but to disrupt them, providing Ghost Grandfather with an opportunity!”

Zhong Li frowned slightly and said, “What are you talking about? Do you think you can casually unleash the Alien World just with that battle spear?”

Chen Ansheng ambiguously nodded.

Zhong Li’s eyes filled with astonishment, “Wow, I didn’t expect this stupid donkey to have such good luck, finding such a treasure!”

Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes at her, “What do you mean ‘find’? I earned this with my own strength from the restricted area. Enough chatter, prepare for battle!”

Once ready, Chen Ansheng focused his thoughts, and the Alien World quietly unfolded.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Two beams of black light rushed forward towards the four elders.

“This is bad, the world has changed! Brothers, let’s crush this Alien World together!”

The four elders immediately felt the shift and, before their celestial power fully waned, they frantically struck at the small world of just five hundred kilometers.

Boom, boom!

The four combined their strength, and in no time, they created tiny cracks in the Alien World.

At the same moment, Chen Ansheng and Zhong Li charged in.

“Boom!”

Chen Ansheng wielded the great spear and thrust it violently at the elder.

“You ants, don’t know your place, die!”

The elder struck down with a palm, aiming to knock the spear back and kill Chen Ansheng in the process.

“Poof!”

However, the spear’s edge was beyond the elder’s expectations, and his palm was pierced through by the spear.

“This is bad! This spear is incredibly strange; it can pierce through my body’s defenses. Don’t underestimate it!”

The elder warned hurriedly.

It must be said that the power of a peak Celestial Immortal was not something a small fry like Chen Ansheng could contend with.

As the great spear pierced through the elder’s hand, an incredibly terrifying force transmitted back, prompting Chen Ansheng to quickly release the spear, retreating while shouting, “Junior Sister, protect me!”

Zhong Li smiled, “I’ve already prepared for you; catch this pan!”

“Clang!”

The celestial power violently struck the black pan behind Chen Ansheng.

Despite this, Chen Ansheng was still sent spinning from the massive force, unable to hold back a spurt of blood.

But because of this, Ghost Grandfather and the other Death Soldiers found an opening, seizing the chance to charge forward and relentlessly attack the elder.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”

In just a fraction of a moment, the elder endured the relentless barrage of several hundred extreme strikes.

“Ah!”

He screamed, his celestial body now covered with cracks, celestial power rapidly depleting.

Ghost Grandfather didn’t give him a chance and decisively formed a ghostly flame battle blade, cleaving the elder in half, even severing his immortal soul.
