Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 524: Immortal's Blood

Xu Qingsong's inquiry received no response. Fang Chen didn't even glance at him, instead taking Fairy Yu with him as they continued on their way. The surrounding Golden Core cultivators quickly stepped aside, fearing that they might accidentally block Fang Chen's path and end up being struck down.

Xu Qingsong turned livid. He watched as Fang Chen and Fairy Yu walked past him without a word. He once again questioned those around him, "Dare you admit it? Do you really think that cultivators from the Great Expansion Dao Gate can be casually killed at will!?"

Still, there was no response from the crowd, their gazes growing increasingly strange.

Seeing this, Xu Qingsong suddenly turned toward the direction of the cloud platform and exclaimed, "Gai Hong, someone has violated the agreement between the Heavenly King Zhen Manor and the Void Immortal Sword Sect. Are you going to do nothing?"

Gai Hong sighed softly, looking at Xu Qingsong with a sliver of pity. "Friend Xu, no one has violated the agreement. From beginning to end, no one above the Golden Core Realm has intervened."

The Great Expansion Dao Gate had secluded themselves for far too long. They had cut themselves off from the world and lost contact with their fellow cultivators. It seemed like their minds had dulled over the years.

"Hahaha! Are you suggesting that they broke the Sealing Immortal Formation? Do you expect me to believe that a Golden Core and a Foundation Building Realm cultivator could break my sect's Sealing Immortal Formation!? This formation once hunted down true immortals in ancient times!"

Xu Qingsong pointed at Fang Chen and Fairy Yu's backs, laughing angrily.

"Xu Qingsong, enough already. There was no Great Expansion Dao Gate in ancient times! Besides, as for this Sealing Immortal Formation hunting true immortals, hah... Do you have a hundred and eight ascended cultivators to use the formation? Even if you managed to gather a hundred and eight of them, it would still be difficult, right? What's the point of bringing this up? Who are you trying to scare?"

Someone sneered coldly.

Xu Qingsong was shocked. He then looked sharply at Fang Chen and Fairy Yu, a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes. "Since you were the ones who broke the rules first, don't blame me!"

A terrifying aura surged from him, almost reaching the peak of the Fusion Realm in an instant.

Someone in the crowd gasped in shock. "He's at the peak of the Middle Three Realms!"

Many had assumed that Xu Qingsong was at most at the Soul Splitting Realm. They hadn't expected his cultivation to be similar to that of people like Gai Hong.

In the Central Continent Empire, reaching the Fusion Realm was already more than enough to establish a sect. If an expert like that was outside the Central Continent Empire, they could easily establish an entire second-tier empire.

Just like Gai Hong, the Emperor of Giant Antler, and Gai Yunnuo, the Empress of the Celestial Dome.

Gai Yunnuo frowned slightly. "Xu Qingsong is planning on breaking the rules."

"I see." Gai Hong sneered, his eyes fixed on Xu Qingsong. "He's not really stupid. He's just looking for an excuse. He was never he to avenge his young brother; he just wanted to reclaim the Great Expansion Dao Sect's treasure."

They were curious about what kind of treasure could make the Great Expansion Dao Sect risk offending the Void Immortal Sword Sect.

A faint sneer appeared in Gai Hong's eyes. "Unfortunately, he missed something important."

At the same time, Fang Chen's footsteps paused, and strange blue lights flickered in his eyes. Walls condensed of the metal element rose up one after another. These walls, towering hundreds of zhang high, formed a fortress, separating Fang Chen and Fairy Yu from their pursuers.

Fang Chen took out the Greenwood Token and handed it to Fairy Yu. "Go to the Greenwood Sect. Even if the chance is slim, you must try. Stay alive."

"I'm not leaving you." Fairy Yu held the Greenwood Token with a stubborn look in her eyes. She calmly said, "Lord, there's something I haven't told you. After I condensed the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo, my lifespan was reduced to only thirty years. If I don't devour the lifespan of others, I won't survive long.

"This fate is forcing me toward the dark side. But I know if I really turn to the dark side, you won't talk to me anymore, won't take care of me, won't protect me. So instead of living without purpose for thirty years, I'd rather accompany you. We’ll walk this journey together to the very end."

Fang Chen was stunned. "Thirty years?"

He had no idea about this. The Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo was so sinister that condensing it would leave only thirty years of lifespan?

It was clearly forcing the host toward darkness, killing cultivators everywhere to devour their lifespan.

"Fortunately, many Golden Core cultivators have come to me over the years. Even if I stop killing now, I can still live for thirty more years." Fairy Yu smiled faintly. "Lord, run away. Your Sword Transformation Technique is incredibly fast. There's still a glimmer of hope you can escape. Don't worry about me. They won't send Nascent Soul cultivators to deal with me."

"Run? I didn't run at the battle of Three World Mountain, nor did I run at the battle in Grand Qian." Fang Chen shook his head lightly. “Do you know why?"

Fairy Yu chuckled. "It definitely wasn't because you were afraid it would ruin your reputation."

Fang Chen's eyes softened as he smiled faintly. It seemed that Fairy Yu truly understood him. If it weren't for the concerns weighing on his mind, he would do whatever he pleased and go wherever he wanted. When faced with strong enemies, he would flee if he had the capability. What worth did his reputation have?

However, things were different now. He had too many things weighing on his heart. He couldn't seek to be detached from the world as ordinary cultivators did. He couldn't sever all ties with the mortal world. Not to mention that he wasn't even willing to do that. In his eyes, worldly matters were more interesting. They were more vibrant.

"You still have thirty years ahead of you, and there may still be hope. If we can't find another way to resolve the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo, I can take you to find Spirit Blood Sect cultivators and borrow their lifespan. So you must stay alive. Whatever happens next, you don't need to worry. Just go to Greenwood Sect."

Fang Chen smiled softly, taking off his storage ring and handing it to Fairy Yu.

In the next moment, his gaze fell on Little Sword. The mottled bloodstains seemed to come alive, twisting continuously as they slowly flowed into Fang Chen's body.

Fairy Yu sensed something and immediately tried to grab Little Sword to stop it, but she felt an inexplicable force surging, sending her flying hundreds of feet away. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"What rich metal element... This would even leave an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator stumped for a while," remarked someone in the crowd.

They couldn't help but marvel at how a Foundation Building Realm cultivator could employ such methods. It was truly unprecedented.

Unfortunately, he wasn't merely facing a Nascent Soul cultivator anymore, but a Fusion Realm expert. In the presence of such a formidable opponent, these walls of bronze and iron appeared exceedingly fragile.

"Why hasn't Xu Qingsong made a move yet?" the Immortal Giant Sect's representative frowned suddenly. "Could he be all bark and no bite?"

The people around glanced at him. They knew he was hoping to use Xu Qingsong to settle scores for the deaths of Immortal Giant Sect's junior. He was stirring up trouble when things could escalate quickly, likely angering the Void Immortal Sword Sect.

"He's testing the waters," Ga Hong remarked calmly. "He fears there might be experts protecting this young man, so he's gauging if anyone will step forward to hinder him."

The Immortal Giant Sect member looked disappointed. "I know cultivators can be cunning, but even at a time like this, he still has the patience to probe?"

If it were him, he might have already attacked.

Xu Qingsong appeared to be circulating spiritual power within his body, but he was actually observing his surroundings. Seeing no anomalies, he suddenly waved his sleeve. In an instant, a divine whip struck from the void, smashing Fang Chen's condensed walls of bronze and iron into pieces.

Behind the dust, a figure stood motionless.

The Immortal Seedlings around exchanged looks, seemingly surprised. "Could he have been scared senseless?"

If they were facing a Fusion Realm cultivator, they too would be too terrified to move.

It wouldn't be embarrassing at all, given the vast difference in cultivation levels between the two sides.
