I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 564 I want you to speak, so you have to speak.

"Old man, you must be from Jishan in Nanzhen, right?" Xia Daoming, who had been sitting quietly next to Lanxi without saying a word, looked up at the outside and then suddenly spoke.

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"

When Liehuo Zhenren and the others saw Xia Daoming address their ancestor as "old fellow," they were all enraged. Powerful auras burst forth from their bodies, and rolling waves of fire surged toward Xia Daoming like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down upon him.

Seeing this, Lanxi snorted coldly, and a vast blue sea appeared behind her. A phantom of a true blue dragon rushed out from the sea, and with a flick of its tail, it stirred up towering waves.

"boom!"

The giant wave crashed against the rolling flames, instantly knocking them down.

The terrifying impact force instantly surged outwards from all sides of the hall.

The main hall shook violently, but fortunately, the protective runes within were powerful and appeared one after another, preventing it from collapsing.

Upon seeing this, the short, stocky man's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of shock and seriousness.

Lanxi's strength exceeded his expectations.

However, after the initial shock and solemnity, his heart burned even hotter.

He has been trying to break through to the fifth stage of the Nascent Soul realm for nearly a century, but his chances of success are extremely slim.

Therefore, he decided to offer up a portion of his true spirit and go to the Heavenly Court to command it.

His purpose in coming to the Crimson Cloud Sect this time was actually to enjoy the riches and freedom of the mortal world one last time before ascending to the Immortal Realm, and to settle some matters.

However, he learned about Lanxi's unexpected turn of events from the divine message transmitted by Master Liehuo.

He had no idea how great this opportunity was, or whether it was enough to help him overcome the fifth Heavenly Tribulation and allow him to live freely in this realm for another thousand years.

But just now, Lanxi manifested her true dragon form, which was incredibly powerful. Even if he wanted to defeat her, it wouldn't be easy.

This shocked and pressured him, but it also gave him greater hope.

"That's right, I am indeed from Nanzhen Jishan, and I am also a protector of a major force in Nanzhen Jishan. If Palace Master Lanxi is willing to become Daoist partners with Liehuo, she will surely receive my full assistance when she enters Nanzhen Jishan in the future."

Palace Master Lanxi should have heard that Nanzhen Jishan is a gathering place for Nascent Soul cultivators, and even has a Celestial Envoy from the Heavenly Court stationed there. Even if you are incredibly powerful, if you don't have a foothold in Nanzhen Jishan, you will inevitably be bullied by many sides once you enter the mountain.

"Especially you merfolk, with your unique physiques, will inevitably be targeted by many powerful figures once you enter Nanzhenji Mountain. Without my protection, you would likely suffer the same fate as in the Crimson Sky Sea."

The short, stocky man waved his hand to stop Liehuo Zhenren and the others from taking any further action. He didn't even look at Xia Daoming, but stared intently at Lan Xi, trying to coerce and entice her.

"Since you come from Jishan in the South Town, it seems you must know quite a bit about the people coming and going from Jishan in the South Town!"

Xia Daoming was not surprised but delighted to see that the short, stocky man was indeed from Nanzhen Jishan and was a protector of a powerful force in Nanzhen Jishan.

"As a true person, I naturally know." The short, stocky man seemed to have forgotten Xia Daoming's previous rudeness in order to persuade Lan Xi, and instead showed a smug look on his face.

"Do you know that a woman named Yuwen Feng recently ascended to the Immortal Realm from Nanzhen Jishan?" Xia Daoming blurted out, a hint of nervousness on his face.

"It seems you're quite concerned about this woman, Yuwen Feng, but why should I tell you?" The short, stocky man raised his eyebrows slightly, his face full of arrogance.

“You’re right!” Xia Daoming nodded calmly at first, then his expression suddenly darkened, and he said, “But if I want you to say it, you have to say it!”

"Haha!" The short, stocky man threw his head back and laughed, saying, "I've seen arrogant and ignorant people before, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant and ignorant as you. A mere Nascent Soul cultivator at the First Tribulation stage dares to threaten me!"

"You are arrogant and ignorant, daring to set your sights on my beloved wife!" Xia Daoming sneered, reaching out towards the short, stocky man.

Suddenly, a golden dragon claw appeared in the air above the main hall.

As soon as the dragon claw appeared, an invisible force and boundless majesty enveloped the space where the short, stocky man was located.

"Not good!" The short, stocky man immediately sensed the intense danger. He unleashed a torrent of magical power, forming a fiery domain that protected him. Almost simultaneously, a fire staff flew from his body, transforming into a dog-like creature, its entire body engulfed in black flames—the infamous ancient beast, Huodou.

The dragon claw completely enveloped the fiery domain, then gently squeezed it.

"Oh!"

The fiery domain burst instantly, like a soap bubble, disappearing without a trace.

Following that, the dragon claw lifted Huodou up and squeezed it like an eagle snatching a chick.

A wail.

Huo Dou instantly revealed the true form of his Fire Staff magic weapon.

The flame domain and magical artifact were easily destroyed one after another, and flames surged wildly around the short, stocky man, his primordial spirit and dharma body almost disintegrating.

"Exalted Immortal, have mercy on me!"

The short, stocky man was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin. He tried to escape from the main hall in a burst of flame while wailing and begging for mercy.

But under the golden dragon's claw, that flame seemed as small and insignificant as a firefly.

As soon as the golden dragon claw landed, the flame was completely caught in its palm.

The golden dragon claws slowly closed, and the short, stocky man's primordial spirit body shrank continuously, with true essence and magical power flowing out from between the claws and returning to heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, even a short, stocky man as powerful as he was couldn't escape from Xia Daoming's casual, remote claw attack, not even managing to escape a single primordial spirit clone.

It is evident that Xia Daoming's strength is now far greater than it was in the Nightmare Sea.

"escape!"

The scene startled Master Liehuo and the others, leaving their minds blank for a moment. After a while, they reacted like frightened birds, instinctively releasing a beam of light and turning to flee.

But at that moment, on the great lake, the nine ancient fiery ferocious birds and beasts surrounding Immortal Cloud Island suddenly let out a deafening roar.

A giant fiery palm of a Crimson Fire Turtle slammed down, instantly annihilating the last remaining primordial spirit clone of True Man Huoxuan, causing him to perish completely.

The Fire Qilin and the Calamity horn charged forward, crashing violently into the precious light that enveloped the Fiery Immortal.

Bang the ground.

The precious light radiated outwards, revealing the pale and terrified Fiery Immortal within.

The others were also blocked and repelled by the ancient flames and ferocious beasts from all directions.

Everyone turned to look at Xia Daoming with expressions of horror.

At this moment, he was playing with the hand seal that the short, stocky man had just held, a mocking smirk on his lips.

The Nine Flames Annihilation Formation is the most powerful protective formation of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

I usually can't bear to turn it on.

Just now, in order to intimidate and force Lanxi to submit, the short, stocky man deliberately took out the array control seal and activated the array to show off.

As a result, the Dharma Seal has now changed hands.

With Xia Daoming's current cultivation level and mastery of formations, manipulating the great formation would be a piece of cake once he had this seal.

Meanwhile, Master Liehuo and his companions suffered the bitter consequences of their own actions.

　That concludes today's update.
