Zhu Chen was unaware of what had happened in the Upper Realm.

Or perhaps even if he knew, he wouldn't have time to care.

Because right after he killed that chaotic corpse, another uninvited guest arrived at the Fire Emperor's Palace.

It was an extremely large 'giant', wearing an ancient and tattered gray Taoist robe, with an indistinct face that seemed to be shrouded in a layer of chaotic mist.

Only a pair of hazy eyes were clearly visible.

He hovered silently above the Fire Emperor's Palace, making no unnecessary movements; his mere presence was enough to suffocate everyone below.

"Who is this person...? Why do I feel like he could kill me at any moment?"

Xiao Yan frowned, and even his voice trembled.

He only glanced at that person, and his soul felt a sharp pain, as if it were about to split open!
Wang Lin's expression was more solemn than ever before, and his murderous aura surged wildly around him, but he could only barely protect himself.

The oppressive aura emanating from the other party was like a mountain pressing down on him, making his bones hum.

He could sense that this person's cultivation level had far exceeded the second step realm he knew.

Even Tianyunzi on Tianyun Star couldn't compare to his fear of death.

Lin Dong and Luo Feng were both tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Even Han Li, who was hiding behind the crowd, had a fine layer of cold sweat on his forehead and was unable to move.

Zhu Chen was the only one in the entire room who could barely straighten his back.

But his expression was extremely serious at this moment.

"Big brother... what level is this guy at? Why do I feel like an ant in front of him, about to be crushed at any moment..."

Xiao Yan suppressed the discomfort in his soul and asked in a hoarse voice.

Zhu Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his expression grave, and said, "This person should have already stepped into the realm of immortality... Although his aura is unstable and his origin is incomplete, he has indeed touched the level of 'immortal'."

"Xian?"

Everyone was shocked!

As far as they knew, the immortals in the Perfect World were a legendary realm!

"but……"

Zhu Chen paused for a moment, then continued, "He is not a complete True Immortal. His Dao foundation is damaged, his immortal body is incomplete, and his immortal essence is depleted... He is more like a crippled Immortal who was severely injured in the ancient war of immortals and barely survived!"

Lin Dong gritted his teeth and asked, "Then how strong is he...? Can we handle him...?"

Zhu Chen remained silent for a moment, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but in the end he slowly shook his head: "Although a crippled immortal is crippled, he still has the name of an immortal. Fragments of the laws of immortality still exist. Even if he can only use a trace of true immortal power... it is enough to slaughter everyone here."

"what?"

Xiao Yan and the others were stunned, as if struck by lightning.

They had all witnessed Zhu Chen's strength before.

Now even he himself admits that he cannot contend with this person?
How terrifying must this person's cultivation level be?

"Whoo~"

Just then, the blurred face of the immortal in the air seemed to turn slightly.

He slowly turned his body, lowered his head and looked down. His eyes, which seemed to reflect the stars, instantly locked onto Zhu Chen.

Immediately afterwards, a dry divine thought resounded directly in the depths of everyone's souls: "You just used the Kunpeng Treasure Technique... Could it be that you have obtained the Kunpeng inheritance?"

As this divine thought descended, the remnant immortal also raised a hand hidden in his wide Taoist robe.

"--boom!"

The instant he raised his hand, the space within a hundred feet of Zhu Chen was instantly ripped from the rest of the world, transforming into an absolutely solidified cage! The space itself became the most sturdy shackles!
Time seems to have slowed down!
at the same time.

A force of law originating from a higher dimension suddenly descended upon Zhu Chen and Huo Ling'er and the others beside him, determined to annihilate them!

This is the initial application of the laws of immortality!
Even a mere trace of a remnant immortal's power is enough to instantly kill any cultivator below the Immortal Realm!
"A mere remnant immortal... dares to kill me?"

Zhu Chen roared, and all the magical runes in his body lit up at the same time, with golden blood energy soaring into the sky, attempting to break the spatial shackles around him.

Xiao Yan, Wang Lin, Lin Dong, and the others also unleashed their full cultivation power.

However, under the suppression of those immortal laws, their power was almost instantly annihilated.

They might be able to put up a fight against cultivators in the divine realm.

But they had absolutely no chance of winning against cultivators in the realm of immortality.

However, just as that annihilating force was about to touch Zhu Chen.

"--laugh!!!"

A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the depths of the void!

Then, in a split second before anyone could react...

A pure and domineering dark light, seemingly carrying endless fighting spirit and sorrow, pierced through the void behind the remnant immortal, as if it had crossed the river of time and ignored spatial distance!

It was an ancient halberd, entirely black, covered with cracks and dark red rust!
Its appearance was so sudden that almost no one noticed it!

Even that crippled immortal was not among them.

"—Pfft!!!"

The halberd burst forth, piercing through the body of the crippled immortal with overwhelming force.

The immortal's eyes, which held the illusion of stars and the annihilation of time, widened suddenly, filled with utter astonishment!

"This is... Tianhuang... You actually had a backup plan..."

He moved the corners of his mouth and uttered a few words with difficulty.

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

"--boom!!!"

In an instant, a storm of energy, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth, erupted from the point where the halberd pierced through!

The dark light instantly engulfed the figure of the remnant immortal.

The remnant immortal didn't even get to utter a complete scream before his body crumbled inch by inch in the energy storm.

In the end, this arrogant, remnant immortal who had lived for several eras was transformed into a shower of light and completely absorbed by the battle halberd!

The storm comes quickly and goes away quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the sky above the Fire Emperor's Palace returned to its previous clear state.

The terrifying pressure and darkness brought by the remnant immortal vanished completely, leaving no trace, as if it had never existed.

"Is the lingering remnant of Kunpeng wielding the Heavenly Desolate Battle Halberd, solely to kill those who betrayed him back then?"

Zhu Chen stared at the direction where the Heavenly Desolate Battle Halberd had disappeared, and a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He remembered that in the original story, Kunpeng's lingering spirit used this Heavenly Desolate Battle Halberd to intercept and kill a giant from the Upper Realm during the great calamity in the Lower Realm.

Could it be that the remnant immortal who just tried to attack him was the one who was intercepted and killed by Kunpeng in the original story, who used his remnant spirit to wield the Heavenly Desolate Halberd?
"Big brother, who just helped us?"

After everyone came to their senses, Xiao Yan, unable to hide his thoughts, immediately asked Zhu Chen the question that everyone wanted to know.
