Wang Chong had forcibly awakened the first-generation successor, so no one understood his current situation more than him.

The successor was the only person on the battlefield capable of holding down the Tiger Immortal, but if this continued, he would soon be emptied of vitality. If he couldn’t think of another way to stop the Tiger Immortal, everyone else would still be doomed.

“Hahah, you puny humans, I’d like to see what else you have to oppose us!”

The Goat Immortal had noticed what was going on and loudly laughed. And as if in response to his laughter, the Tiger Immortal swung his axe again. This vast and boundless energy locked onto the first-generation successor so that he couldn’t run even if he wanted to.

Boom! The axe seemed to tear through the fabric of space itself as it swung. Clang! With a metallic ring, all the swords around the first-generation successor were obliterated, with the remainder of the strength in the blow knocking the successor back several dozen meters. The successor’s energy once more plunged, and his vitality flickered like a candle in the wind.

“Ah!”

Cries of alarm came from down below. The first-generation successor seemed to have suffered such a drastic drop in energy that he could no longer remain in the air and plunged straight down.

“Hmph!”

At this moment, the Tiger Immortal coldly grunted, the sound like a peal of thunder. He finally turned to face Wang Chong and the other martial artists on the ground. From his aloof expression, he apparently already regarded all of them as dead men.

Buzz!

A cruel smile appeared on the Tiger Immortal’s lips, and then he made a spell with his hands. The Seven-Inch Immortal Axe, which was floating in the air, exploded with light and shot downward like a lightning bolt.

“Not good!”

Everyone paled. Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, and the Bone Devil Ancestor all felt danger surging up in their hearts.

They had already expended a great deal of Stellar Energy in the previous battles, and the Tiger Immortal was much stronger than their previous opponents, and he was even using a ritual tool. Not even the first-generation walking corpse had been able to take his blows, so a single axe strike would probably be enough to kill them all.

Buzz!

The Tiger Immortal struck with incredible speed, his axe crossing several dozen meters in the blink of an eye to appear right above their heads. The area affected by this attack was incredibly vast—more than half of the martial artists present were about to be slain by the axe, including the likes of Song Yuanyi and the Demonic Emperor Old Man. Of course, the remainder would only survive for just a few seconds longer.

“It’s over! We’re doomed!”

The martial artists closed their eyes in despair. They had done their best to resist the men in black, but in the end, they could not escape their annihilation.

In this clash of apex experts, they didn’t have the ability to intervene, not even if they gave up their lives.

Whoosh! A golden Stellar Energy more dazzling than the sun descended, obliterating all in its path and spreading black cracks across the fabric of space.

Time seemed to stop.

Nearby, Wang Chong looked up, the dazzling Stellar Energy of the axe reflected clearly in his pitch-black pupils.

Wang Chong also felt an unprecedented pressure in the face of this enormous axe. Even before that scorching energy had made impact, Wang Chong felt like his entire body was groaning and straining. It felt like he would be cleaved apart at any moment.

Clang!

Under this immense pressure, a sword brightly cried out. The Origin Immortal Sword had suddenly turned scalding hot and exploded with light. The sword fiercely shuddered, almost breaking the hand that Wang Chong gripped it in.

Wang Chong was left dumbstruck by this sudden development. At that moment, he sensed an abnormality from the seal within the Origin Immortal Sword. That ancient seal had seemingly absorbed some special energy from Wang Chong’s blood, causing it to shatter and allowing the ancient and mighty Power of Lightning to surge into Wang Chong’s body.

Creee!

Wang Chong felt like his soul had been drawn into a different world. In this world, the skies were gloomy, pealing with thunder and crisscrossed by lightning. A monster with the head of a beast and the body of a human, with two wings sprouting from its back, fiercely cried out as it flew toward Wang Chong and into his body.

As the lightning monster charged into Wang Chong’s body, countless pieces of information appeared in Wang Chong’s mind.

At this moment, Wang Chong suddenly realized that the Origin Immortal Sword actually contained an extremely powerful ancient technique.

Lightning Flash!

A thought flitted through his mind, and as if in response, his body erupted with seemingly infinite Lightning Power.

Hiss! Crack!

Wang Chong was suddenly covered entirely in violet lightning which poured into his hundreds of millions of cells, stimulating his potential and causing him to violently tremble. His eyes also began to flash and sparkle with bright light.

Buzz!

In a flash of lightning, Wang Chong vanished.

“Everyone, stand aside!”

Wang Chong’s cold voice resounded like that of a god. A moment later, rumble! An immense aura that transcended all other beings in the world appeared in the air.

Kacrack! Thunderclouds manifested in the air, brimming with brilliant bolts of lightning infused with destructive energy. Before anyone could react, a bolt of violet lightning shot out and struck the Tiger Immortal’s destructive axe.

Rumble!

Lightning and axe collided, but with one strike, the violet lightning blasted apart the destructive axe blow, scattering the golden light.

“Impossible!”

“Just what is that thing!?”

The Deer Immortal and Goat Immortal were stupefied. Even the Tiger Immortal found it hard to keep his composure, astonishment appearing on his face.

This attack had contained all of the Tiger Immortal’s strength, and not even the seemingly invincible first-generation successor had been able to stop it. But now, his most powerful attack had been shattered by a measly ant.

How could this be possible?!

“Deer Immortal, Goat Immortal, hurry and help me!”

The Tiger Immortal grimaced, reluctance and madness in his crimson eyes.

A moment later, plush! He spat out another mouthful of essence blood. The axe once more exploded with golden light, erupting with even greater strength as it swung at the violet lightning bolt.

In this dangerous moment, both the Goat Immortal and Deer Immortal had grave expressions. Using their last reserves of strength, they shot toward the violet bolt of lightning that Wang Chong had transformed into.

“Immortals Pursue the Deer!”

“Golden Goat Shatters the Heavens!”

Three terrifying attacks that surpassed anything a martial artist could imagine collided against Wang Chong. This was their last bit of strength, their strongest attacks. They were determined to destroy Wang Chong in a single blow.

Boomboomboom!

The four supreme energies clashed, immediately creating a shockwave that shook the entire underground world and left cracks in space. As the shockwave spread outward, it threw the martial artists and men in black in the vicinity into the air, inflicting heavy injuries on them and causing them to spit out blood.

“Ah!”

Amidst the vast explosion, everyone suddenly heard three wretched screams, and then three figures flew out and smashed into the distant rock wall.

The combined power of the three Immortals had utterly failed to contend against the intimidating Power of Lightning. A single strike had blown them back with heavy injuries.

And it was still not over. Swish! An azure lightning bolt reflected in everyone’s eyes, so bright that it could make the rest of the world seem colorless. Everyone felt as if a calamitous earthquake was taking place in their minds.

Everything that had just happened had exceeded their imaginations, and they had no idea what was going on.

“Not good!”

The Deer Immortal, Goat Immortal, and Tiger Immortal all felt an extremely intense unease. This was something that they had never experienced in all their long lives. In the face of this azure bolt of lightning, every cell in their body trembled in fear, and waves of danger threatened to drown them.

“Let’s go!”

The Deer Immortal was the sharpest of the trio, and before anyone else could react, he shot toward the passage, completely focused on escape.

And while the Goat Immortal was just a little slower, he was still a Subtle realm expert. When he saw the Deer Immortal flee, he followed without hesitation. As for the Tiger Immortal, he was the last to move and had the greatest hesitation in his heart, but he was also the fastest. In the blink of an eye, he had run past the Deer Immortal.

These three were all top-class Subtle realm experts, and they had proud personalities. The word ‘escape’ didn’t even exist in their dictionaries.

But Wang Chong’s attack had been far too frightening. For him to wield such vast amounts of Lightning Power sixteen thousand meters beneath the earth was simply absurd.

Not only that, the three of them had sensed an extremely old energy within Wang Chong.

This was an energy that transcended this era, and its power was their greatest counter, instilling a deep fear in their hearts.
