Immortal Road.

As time went on, Elder Izumo became increasingly daring. After recovering, he relentlessly suppressed the five of them and expanded his domain to completely envelop them!

"Does he have the ability to devour five of our domains in one go?"

The group was terrified and realized the difference in strength between them, and suddenly felt that their opponent really did have this ability!

In that short period of time, they had already used all their trump cards, but they were still no match for Elder Chuyun.

The other party deliberately waited a while, trying to lure them into showing their best skills.

The result was still disappointing.

"So this is all you've got? I thought that killing Fellow Daoist Huang would put some pressure on me. Turns out, besides that Qi extraction trick earlier, you don't have any other special skills?"

Elder Chuyun showed no mercy in his mockery, looking down at everyone with disdain that was evident in his expression.

"They're all worthless wretches, utterly defenseless!"

He focused all his energy on Lin Shan, the only person on the scene worthy of his serious attention. That natal black star could indeed bring him considerable trouble, but that was all.

Without the protection of a domain, even the strongest spear cannot withstand the shield of a mighty trend!

Unable to face the danger, Lin Shan could only retreat, unwilling to risk his life.

At that moment, he heard everyone asking him whether they should run away!
"Brother Xiong Shan, since you've killed Elder Huang, why not stop while you're ahead and hide in the interior of the Cloud Wind Immortal Realm, so you'll never see that old bastard again!"

"I second that. None of us are at our peak, so we're no match for him."

"Is your ability to extract luck still usable? If so, try it again."

Lin Shan's heart sank. He realized that these opportunists were completely unreliable. They were all smiles when things were going well, but their mothers would give up when things went wrong. If he didn't show a decisive advantage, they would scatter in the next moment!

Elder Chuyun had long seen that they were not of one mind, so he simply ignored them and focused his attention on Lin Shan, even sending him messages in secret.

“Zhong Shenxiu, or Xiong Shanshangren, it doesn’t matter what your name is, I want to make a deal with you.”

"Oh?"

Lin Shan was weighing his options as he made his move, torn between fighting and retreating.

His mortal enemy was Elder Huang. Now that he had avenged his great enemy and gained a lot, he thought that he had no new or old grudges against Elder Chuyun of Qiyun Ridge. Why should he continue to fight to the death? He should first find a place to cultivate his domain to a high level!
But the other party brought up the very thing they didn't want to talk about.

"I had someone investigate, and they found that you possess a True Spirit Feather. If you hand it over now, I can forgive your past transgressions and let you leave on the spot. What do you say?"

Lin Shan almost burst out laughing when he heard that.

Will you spare me?
Who do you think you are? You think you can stop me from leaving?
The other party remained unhurried, displaying the Xuanwu Spirit Boat in his hand with a playful expression.

"Even if you're incredibly fast, can you outrun a Xuan Tian flying magical treasure? And if I'm not mistaken, you consigned this treasure ship to auction, right? You should know its speed better than I do!"

Lin Shan was slightly taken aback. With his own speed, he could outrun cultivators of the same level, but he was naturally inferior to the Xuanwu Spirit Boat.

Moreover, both Wind Escape Technique and Wind and Thunder Void Technique are still powerful spells, not yet upgraded to the level of supreme power, so they are indeed difficult to escape the lock-on pursuit of Void Piercer.

Is he planning to go against himself?

Are you threatening me?

"No, I just want to make a deal with you."

As Elder Izumo regained the upper hand, his advantage gradually expanded, and his confidence returned to what it once was.

"Hand over the Feather of True Spirit, and this matter will end here. I can pretend I didn't see Elder Huang's death."

"Ha? He's dead. You've been happy to have the True Spirit Feather all to yourself, haven't you?"

"Hahaha, as expected, I couldn't hide it from you, young friend Zhong. Since we've come this far, I can agree to your request again. When the time comes, the two of us will join forces and take care of Xing Shuzi, Ji Xuanjun, and Huang Yue Laodao as well. They don't care about their possessions, so they can all be yours, how about that!"

"Ok?"

Lin Shan was slightly tempted, but quickly dismissed the idea.

Elder Izumo, what a brilliant scheme to sow discord!

Giving up the True Spirit Feather would only be the beginning of trouble. When the alliance falls apart and becomes a disorganized mess, how will it be able to resist the enemy?
With the Xuanwu Spirit Boat in hand, they can neither fight nor run away. The five of them will become fish on the chopping block, completely at his mercy.
While they were talking, the other three people present also showed different expressions, clearly having received secret telepathic messages from Elder Chuyun trying to persuade them to defect.

The old fox is still the most cunning; the opponent's move was ruthless enough to break their encirclement in one fell swoop.

Ji Xuanjun and Huang Yue Laodao, bearing the direct pressure of the domain confrontation, were about to reach their breaking point and were preparing to make a decision to escape.

Lin Shan suddenly rose up and, amidst repeated struggles, rose to the challenge!

The natal star above their heads suddenly seemed to be possessed by destiny, instantly connecting with the depths of the starry sky, emitting boundless light and darkness, and a cold, damp atmosphere permeated the surroundings, with the pressure from their rank hanging over everyone's heads.

Stars, grids, collide, crash!

"what is this?"

Elder Izumo's expression changed drastically on the spot.

Because it was covered by its natal star, the astrological phenomena overlapped with it and struck the opponent's domain heavily. The natal star was blocked from entering the area amidst the earthquake and the mountains shook, but a black star phantom forcefully crossed over and arrived above the opponent's head!

A ferocious alligator snapping turtle was forced out of the lava sea. As soon as it poked its head out, it was startled by what it saw and immediately retracted its head into its shell to defend itself.

But the struggle over destiny is not so simple; it's not something you can just avoid.
hum~~~
A strange, mournful cry came from the non-material realm between heaven and earth. Then Elder Chuyun cried out and blood gushed from his seven orifices, his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!
"what happened?"

The others were stunned and stood there, none of them able to see clearly what Lin Shan had done.

Only he himself knew that the Star Collision and the Calamity Star had agreed that each realm could only use it a maximum of three times. He had already used it once on the Spirit Master during his ascension journey, so this second time was optional.

Having only reached the early stage of the Void Realm, is it wise to use up all your ultimate skills on enemies you encounter in the early game, or is it just a waste of time?
But on second thought, the earlier you start, the faster you need to accumulate value so you can snowball later. Star collisions are just sitting around anyway, so using them early to convert them into rewards is the best strategy!

So the decision was made in less than a breath.

Today, we must take advantage of the large number of people here and kill Elder Izumo, this formidable enemy!

The clash of astrological elements was indeed powerful. The opponent's destiny was extremely rare, but it still couldn't compare to a calamity star. In an instant, the opponent suffered a severe blow, and its aura weakened considerably!
"What are we waiting for? Break through his domain and make our move."

Lin Shan's shout startled the others, who immediately mobilized their respective domains and launched a fierce attack.

The lava field was collapsing everywhere. Without Elder Izumo's control, it was like a stationary target, passively taking hits without fighting back, and immediately found itself in a desperate situation.

The most important thing is that black star, which broke into the domain and wreaked havoc, polluting everything with thick black smoke and making a mess of the place.

The Annihilation Avatar also seized the opportunity to expand its domain, forming a thin layer around Elder Huang, just as it had done to him, to prevent him from escaping. When Elder Chuyun finally came to his senses, clutching his head and opening his eyes, he was immediately dumbfounded!
"This is impossible! You've disturbed my luck again! What kind of strange and evil supernatural powers are these?!"

He had never encountered any supernatural powers of luck or destiny in his life. Meeting Lin Shan was truly an eye-opening experience for him, and he had to admit that he was ignorant!

Realizing that all was lost, and that he had become a blank slate again, and that he was seriously injured and his domain was riddled with holes, he was powerless to turn the tide.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!

He still has a way out, and it's not far away.

Qiyun Ridge in Luoxia Mountain is his base camp, which he has been operating for thousands of years. There he has countless connections and favors there, and he himself is an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

This time, they secretly teamed up with Elder Huang, intending to eat alone or cheat each other, so they didn't tell anyone.

But as long as I can go back, I can rest easy!
These rogue cultivators dared not go back, nor could they do anything to the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, so losing now didn't matter; the important thing was to escape back.

"go!"

Without saying a word, he transformed into a beam of light and tried to disappear.

However, his fire escape technique was intercepted at the edge of the domain. Immediately afterwards, several light arrows pierced in front of him. The Annihilation Clone, holding the Xuan Tian Spiritual Treasure, waited with a smile, completely sealing him off with the domain, not giving him a chance to escape.

Having witnessed Elder Huang's despair, Elder Chuyun knew the consequences of any hesitation. So he jumped onto the Xuanwu Spirit Boat without hesitation and detonated the Lava Domain before making his escape!
He wanted to take advantage of the momentum and escape during the chaos.

"Oh no, get out of here!"

Xing Shuzi, Ji Xuanjun, and Huang Yue Laodao all stopped and scattered like snakes and scorpions, fearing that the self-destruction of the other party's domain would implicate them.

Seeing this, Lin Shan flipped his hand and took out the fragment of the Star Bridge. He then summoned the Void Star Bridge again and aimed it at the Xuanwu Spirit Boat inside, suppressing it fiercely!
This time, without the one-time Dharma Aspect Domain provided by the Luck Card, he was unable to contain and control the Lava Domain's self-destruction. He could only watch helplessly as the red rock waves surged and roared, followed by a massive explosion that shook the void and sent all four surrounding domains flying to the side!
That power was more than three times stronger than Elder Huang's self-destructed domain, and no one dared to directly confront it.

The Annihilation Avatar immediately avoided the attack, while Xing Shuzi and the others fled in panic!

The flames spread across the valley and land, extending for thousands of miles, completely piercing through the clouds and revealing the dark, celestial land below.

"Oh no, this commotion is too big. It will probably attract the attention of the people at Luoxia Mountain."

At that time, there will definitely be cultivators at the Void Transformation stage who can't contain their curiosity and come to investigate, and then our group will be in danger!
Lin Shan disregarded everything else and, as soon as the explosion subsided, immediately used his natal Black Star to protect himself and rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

When they arrived at the epicenter, the phantom of the Sky Bridge was still there, the waters below were calm, and a battered Xuanwu spirit boat hung silently in the air.

But the people on the boat had vanished!

Elder Izumo cut off his tail to save his life. Taking advantage of the fire from the explosion of his domain, he used his fire jutsu to travel hundreds of miles in an instant and thus escaped in a sorry state.

Activating the Star-Slaying Demon Eye, scanning the sky and the ground, I noticed a streak of fire frantically fleeing in the distance, heading straight for the path I came from Luoxia Mountain!

"Chase!"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we let the tiger return to the mountain, especially if we allow it to escape back to Qiyun Ridge, we will never have another chance to make a move.

He immediately put away the Xuanwu Spirit Boat and, together with his Annihilation Avatar, transformed into a stream of light and followed after them!

Xing Shuzi, Ji Xuanjun, Huang Yue Laodao, and others on the periphery clutched their chests and gasped for breath, utterly shocked and still unable to react.

This battle was full of twists and turns. Although he was still being suppressed by Elder Chuyun, suddenly the man from Xiongshan used some unknown move to immediately turn the tide and complete the comeback. It was simply unbelievable!
"Should we... give chase?"

Old Daoist Huangyue glanced at the expressions of the two men, especially Xing Shuzi, who had just overheard some secrets and knew who was in charge.

Why chase after them?

Xing Shuzi was now clear-headed. He looked around and then shook his head.

"This battle has caused too much of a stir and has definitely attracted the attention of Qiyun Ridge. It is not advisable to stay here for long. We should leave as soon as possible."

"Even if we chase after them, we can't outmaneuver Xiong Shan and his clone, so what's the point?"

"As long as that kid can kill the great enemy and avenge us, this matter will be settled. In my opinion, there is no need to stay in Nankaido anymore, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

The old Taoist priest Huangyue immediately nodded, clearly agreeing with the other party's statement.

“That’s true. We might as well go to Yunfeng Inland to take refuge. With one elder dead and the other injured in the two great immortal cities of the South China Sea, they will definitely investigate thoroughly. At that time, none of us will be able to escape responsibility. It’s best to leave as soon as possible.”

After the three of them made their decision, they immediately turned around and left in the opposite direction without looking back.

As for whether Elder Chuyun is alive or dead, that's entirely up to Lin Shan; they'll leave it to him.

the other side.

Lin Shan used his extraordinary speed to quickly close the distance with Elder Chuyun.

Running away was impossible. He was known for his speed in the Wind and Thunder elements, and there were almost no people of the same level who could run as fast as him, let alone Elder Chuyun who had lost the Xuanwu Spirit Boat!
The latter sensed the hostile aura rapidly approaching and couldn't help but look back, only to be terrified!

"Zhong Shenxiu, are you never going to stop? Qiyun Ridge is just ahead. I am an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. If you kill me, you'll end up in trouble too!"

"Don't worry, as long as we act quickly enough, they won't have time to react."

Lin Shan licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with demonic light. Two swords in his pupils crossed and wrapped around his opponent's path in an instant.

Elder Izumo has lost all his territory and his strength has been greatly reduced. Now he is like a plucked chicken, trembling and unable to help but shout loudly.

"Spare me, and I'll grant you anything you want."

"I want you to die!"

The Void Bridge descended from the sky. This supreme divine power is specifically for suppression. The opponent, lacking a domain, was unable to break free and could only gaze southward with despair and regret.

That was Sunset Mountain at night, the starting point where he had set out with high spirits, but now he could never go back.

The annihilation clone strode forward, its eerie domain instantly engulfing the creature. Crunching sounds echoed from the surging black mist, along with Elder Chuyun's increasingly faint screams.
"Elder Qi of the Imperial Household Department is a close friend of mine. You took his Xuanwu Spirit Boat, and I will not let you get away with it."

"Hmph, let him come then, I'll be waiting!"

Lin Shan sneered, clapped his hands to call it a day, beckoned his annihilation clone to jump into the Star Palace, and then turned and sped away without looking back.

Less than half a cup of tea's time after he left.

A streak of light swiftly streaked across the night sky from the direction of Qiyun Ridge, its immense aura of a late-stage Void Realm cultivator dispelling endless clouds as it arrived at the site where Elder Chuyun had perished.

As the light faded, an elderly man with white hair frowned at the mess on the scene and fell into a long silence. (End of Chapter)
