Chapter 238: Shock and Awe

“What!”

Seeing this situation, the other three old men were immediately enveloped in fear.

A top-tier immortal, actually killed with a single point of a finger!

How is that possible!

Even a powerful being at the ninth realm of immortals couldn’t have such terrifying immortal power!

“Y-you, who are you!”

The leader among the old men stammered.

Chen Ansheng pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “I am Chen Ansheng, the Hidden Island Immortal Lord.”

“Immortal Lord?”

The few old men were taken aback.

In the Cloud Dragon Realm, where is there a Hidden Island, and where is there an Immortal Lord?

One of the old men couldn’t help but speak out, “Your immortal power is astonishing, yet you’re so timid you won’t even reveal your background? In this world, where would a Hidden Island exist, and where is there an Immortal Lord!”

Chen Ansheng smirked but quickly turned solemn, coldly stating, “Just because it doesn’t exist in the Cloud Dragon Realm doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist in the Immortal Realm. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Upon hearing the words “Immortal Realm,” the three old men shuddered!

Could it be that this young man before them truly came from the higher realm!

How is that possible!

In all the endless ages, when has an immortal from the higher realm descended into the lower realm!

The three old men couldn’t dare to believe it.

“You’re merely toying with us! Even if you truly are an immortal from the higher realm, would you reveal such secrets to us?” one old man said.

Chen Ansheng clasped his hands behind his back and glanced at him dismissively, “What difference does it make to tell secrets to the dead?”

As his words fell, a terrifying murderous intent instantly enveloped the three!

The three old men felt their immortal souls tremble and their bodies retreat.

“Defense formation, activate!”

The three old men wielded their immortal power, using their blood to initiate a defensive formation.

“You brat, this formation is an ancient protective array obtained from the restricted zone. Even if you are from the higher realm, what can you do to us!”

After the formation was activated, the three old men finally let out a sigh of relief.

“I won’t deny that your immortal power is formidable, but with the formation’s enhancement, we can ascend right here. What can you do to us, hahaha!”

“You little brat, when we meet again in the Immortal Realm, I will make you wish you were dead!”

Hiding within the protective formation, the three old men felt bold and became even more arrogant.

Chen Ansheng maintained a calm expression, indifferent to their taunts.

However, Li Huaizhen beside him was greatly angered.

Did these old fools really think they could escape right under the Master’s nose?

Boom!

Li Huaizhen decisively struck, his palm infused with overwhelming demonic energy, hitting that protective formation.

Yet, that strike was completely neutralized by the protective array, failing to stir any waves.

“Bald donkey, stop wasting your effort! With your pitiful skills, how could you break my Yuan Law Protection Array?”

As the three old men sensed the call of the ascension laws, calamity clouds gradually gathered in the sky.

“The more ignorant, the more arrogant; there are so many fools around.”

Chen Ansheng shook his head with a sigh.

“You little brat, dare to continue your bravado!”

“I stand right here; if you have the guts, come and kill me!”

“You incompetent fool, you will die a humiliating death sooner or later!”

Just as the three old men were mocking, Chen Ansheng made his move.

He raised his palm, infusing it with a flowing sword intent, reinforcing it with the True Injury Law!

With a gentle press, the protective barrier rippled and displayed countless cracks.

“Crack!”

As a fissure erupted, the entire protective formation collapsed, bursting into countless golden mysterious patterns before dissipating.

“Ah, this!”

The protective formation shattering left the three old men horrified.

This was an ancient protective array obtained from the restricted zone!

It was crushed by his single palm!

“You, you…”

The three old men froze in place, utterly dumbfounded.

“Yap, keep barking.”

Chen Ansheng stepped forward slowly; with each step, ripples spread through the space, crushing the three old men’s immortal bones until they cracked and bled from their seven orifices.

An unmatched fear spread through their immortal souls.

“Immortal, spare us, Immortal…”

The three old men helplessly knelt in the air.

“Master, the immortal realm within the sect is observing this matter; should we cut them off?” Li Huaizhen inquired respectfully.

“No need,” Chen Ansheng replied casually. “Let them see the consequences of defying me.”

Having said that, Chen Ansheng reached out, and a phantom hand descended on one old man’s head.

Bang!

The next moment, the old man’s head exploded.

His immortal soul surged out, desperately trying to escape.

Chen Ansheng’s consciousness unleashed a soul-locking spell, and endless black chains inexplicably spread through the void, trapping that immortal soul tightly.

“Ah!”

The old man’s immortal soul was pierced by small spikes on the soul-locking chain, plunging him into unimaginable agony, wailing endlessly.

“Immortal, I know I was wrong; please spare me…”

“Know wrong? Too late!”

Chen Ansheng struck again, a palm filled with violent immortal power burst forth, reducing the two old men to blood mist.

Similarly, their immortal souls were also locked by Chen Ansheng, tormented by soul spikes.

The screams resonated throughout the True Immortal Sect.

The sect disciples in the immortal realm watched this scene, trembling uncontrollably as if falling into an abyss.

Those were top-tier immortals!

Before him, they had no resistance whatsoever.

“Pass down the orders; all at the sixth realm of immortals and above, gather in the main hall. I have matters to discuss.”

“Obeying the Master’s orders!”

Li Huaizhen bowed and withdrew.

Before long, all the cultivators at the sixth realm of immortals gathered in the True Immortal Sect’s main hall.

Sitting upon the throne, Chen Ansheng scanned the crowd with his immortal sense.

In the entire Cloud Dragon Realm, the most top-tier cultivators were gathered in this hall.

Among them were over ten with holy-grade talent and hundreds with king-grade talent!

It should be noted that in the Immortal Realm, aside from those ancient immortal families and superpowers, holy-grade talents were incredibly rare.

If they ascended naturally, they would undoubtedly attract the attention of king-level and higher forces.

“Among you, any who defy me can leave now. But for those who choose to stay, if you do not abide by the sect’s rules and disrupt the sect’s order, your fate will be like those old dogs!”

As his words echoed in the hall, three immortal souls appeared.

Each one was bound by soul chains, suffering unbearable torment.

“We swear to serve the sect and the Master!”

Everyone present trembled, bowing deeply.

“Very good.”

Chen Ansheng slowly stood up.

“Since you are willing to pledge your loyalty, I shall not mistreat you either; I will grant you ascension, allowing you to enjoy the supreme immortal spirit power and achieve everlasting merit.”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt overwhelming excitement, filled with both anticipation and trepidation.

In the long history, which sect dared to speak of celestial matters!

Yet this mysterious Master before them actually had the ability to control ascension, enabling them to enjoy resources in the Immortal Realm?

It was too shocking!

No one knew whether it was real or not!

“Disciples, thank you, Master!”

With immense emotion, everyone kneeled and bowed.

Chen Ansheng nodded slowly.

This batch of cultivators didn’t even need a master-servant contract; he could place them on the Hidden Island, possessing enough strength to subdue them all.

He had no need to worry about them harboring any dissent.

“Get up.”

Chen Ansheng called out, then his immortal will pierced through layers of barriers, communicating with the ascension pool.

In that instant, all at the sixth realm of immortals in the hall were locked by the ascension laws, feeling the pull.
