152: Golden Immortal? Seems like they're nothing special.

One Sword, Worlds Apart.

There was no world-shaking explosion, no sword light tearing through the firmament.

The moment Ye Chenfeng swung the simple longsword in his hand, the entire world seemed to be cut open by an invisible pair of scissors, neatly down the middle.

On one side, ten thousand ghosts roared, demonic flames billowed, and bones stood like a forest.

On the other side, a figure in green held a sword, calm and composed.

That hazy gray Sword Qi was like a boundary line dividing Yin and Yang, spanning between heaven and earth.

The moment Old Demon Black Mountain's "Myriad Ghost Burial Domain," which was capable of corroding all things, touched this line, all the churning black gas came to a dead stop. Those skeletal white arms stretching out from the ground froze in mid-air, like a movie frame where the pause button had been pressed.

The Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts summoned by the Effeminate Youth shaking his Bone Banner let out a silent shriek the instant they rushed to that line. Their Divine Soul connection with their master was forcibly severed! They became like rootless duckweed, spinning wildly in place, bewildered and terrified.

The giant axe swung down by the Magic-Patterned Strong Man was even more bizarre. The black flames, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, actually extinguished the moment they crossed that line. That terrifying force meant to split mountains and cleave peaks also seemed to sink into a quagmire, becoming sluggish and soft.

"What?!"

The expressions of the three Golden Immortals changed drastically at the same time!

They discovered with horror that their Law connection with their Divine Abilities had been forcibly cut off by a power that was more domineering, more ancient, and more unreasonable!

It was as if a painting they had meticulously crafted had been torn in half from the middle.

That feeling of instantly losing control over their own power caused their Divine Souls to shake violently and their blood to churn!

"What... Dao is this?!"

For the first time, a look of utter horror appeared in Old Demon Black Mountain's cloudy eyes.

This was not the Law of Sword Dao!

This was a higher-dimensional power of the Great Dao that acted directly upon "existence" itself!

However, Ye Chenfeng gave them no time to think.

Within that single breath of time created by "One Sword, Worlds Apart" where all things stood still.

He moved.

His figure did not turn into a stream of light, nor did it tear through space.

He simply took a step forward, as if taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.

With one step, he crossed a distance of a hundred zhang.

He appeared directly in front of the Effeminate Youth holding the Bone Banner.

"You..."

The Effeminate Youth's pupils shrank violently; he wanted to retreat, to recall his Magic Treasure, and to manifest his protective Immortal Artifact.

But his Divine Thought, his immortal essence, and his body all suffered a moment of paralysis due to the backlash of the severed Law!

It was in this very instant.

Ye Chenfeng's sword arrived.

It was still an ordinary-looking thrust.

There was no sword light, no Killing Intent.

It was like a tree branch casually handed over by a boy next door.

Yet this single sword strike made every hair on the Early Stage Golden Immortal youth's body stand on end!

He felt as if he were facing not a sword,

but a Chaos Universe that was slowly closing in!

"No!"

A desperate roar squeezed out from deep within his throat.

The blood Qi within his body burned frantically, and a blood shield condensed from countless aggrieved souls and fresh blood instantly blocked his front.

*Chss.*

A soft sound.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter.

That blood shield, capable of withstanding a full-strength blow from a Middle Stage Golden Immortal, failed to provide even the slightest bit of resistance against the tip of Ye Chenfeng's sword.

The longsword passed through the shield.

It pierced accurately into his heart.

"..."

The Effeminate Youth's body froze.

He lowered his head, looking at the simple longsword in his chest, his eyes filled with an incomprehensible confusion.

"Wh... why..."

He couldn't understand.

Why he, a Golden Immortal, would die at the hands of a Heavenly Immortal.

He couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from the opponent.

"Noisy."

Ye Chenfeng slowly withdrew his sword.

As the longsword was pulled out, the Effeminate Youth's body actually began to annihilate inch by inch, starting from the wound in his heart!

He didn't turn into flesh and blood, but rather, he directly turned into the most primitive nothingness!

Along with his Divine Soul and his Dao Fruit, everything of his was completely decomposed and devoured under that domineering and peerless Chaos Sword Qi.

A Golden Immortal was thus erased from this world.

"Third Brother!"

"You're looking for death!"

Only now did the Magic-Patterned Strong Man and Old Demon Black Mountain recover from the paralysis of the severed Law!

They watched their companion being obliterated by a single sword strike with their own eyes!

An indescribable rage and fear surged into their hearts simultaneously!

"Roar!"

The Magic-Patterned Strong Man went completely berserk!

The giant axe in his hands ignited with raging demonic flames once more, sweeping toward Ye Chenfeng in a suicidal posture!

Old Demon Black Mountain let out a piercing shriek!

The skull staff in her hand pointed at Ye Chenfeng, and a gray curse invisible to the naked eye, filled with an aura of decay and decline, silently crossed space and pressed directly toward the center of Ye Chenfeng's back!

Ye Chenfeng frowned slightly.

He could feel that both attacks behind him carried enough power to threaten him.

He did not meet them head-on.

With a light tap of his toes, his figure drifted to the side like a ghost.

"Boom!"

The giant axe brushed past the edge of his clothes and slammed into the earth!

A bottomless, giant rift instantly appeared, extending over a thousand zhang away!

A few wisps of those violent black flames still splattered onto Ye Chenfeng's back.

*Sizzle—*

The green clothes instantly turned to ash.

A scorched, searing pain came from the skin on his back.

At the same time.

The gray curse, like a maggot on a bone, landed on his left arm.

A power of withering and decay frantically eroded his flesh and life force.

His left arm shriveled and turned black at a visible rate, like a dead tree branch.

Ye Chenfeng let out a muffled groan.

The Chaos Sword Qi within his body surged like a tide, instantly enveloping, crushing, and devouring that curse power.

However, that bone-deep pain made him clearly realize something.

He was injured.

He appeared a hundred zhang away, his posture looking slightly disheveled for the first time.

A large hole was torn in the clothes on his back, revealing charred flesh.

Although his left arm was rapidly recovering under the nourishment of the Chaos Sword Qi, the residual Death Qi still caused him bouts of discomfort.

"Killed one, and got injured."

"Two Golden Immortals, one Middle Stage and one Late Stage."

Ye Chenfeng's mind calculated rapidly.

"If I continue fighting, I can win."

"But, it's not worth it."

He wasn't a battle maniac like Zhao Wuyou.

What he pursued was the most efficient result.

"Little brat! I'm going to tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

The Magic-Patterned Strong Man's eyes were blood-red as he charged forward again with his giant axe!

As for Old Demon Black Mountain, looking at Ye Chenfeng's rapidly recovering left arm, a even more intense greed flashed in her eyes!

"Such strong regenerative power! Such a perfect Dao Body!"

"This skin is mine!"

She no longer held anything back.

Her withered body shook violently, and her already gaunt flesh shriveled even further!

She was burning her own Origin!

"With my remnant body, I sacrifice to the Eternal Corpse Demon!"

She slammed the skull staff into the ground!

"Rumble—!"

The entire earth began to tremble violently!

A fissure larger than a mountain spread out from beneath her feet!

A colossal hand made of countless rotting corpses stitched together slowly emerged from the fissure!

A terrifying pressure far exceeding a Golden Immortal, even touching the threshold of an Immortal Lord, descended with a crash!

Ye Chenfeng's pupils shrank slightly.

From that rising Corpse Demon arm, he smelled a truly lethal threat of death.

He couldn't take this hit.

At least, not right now.

"Time to go."

He instantly made a decision in his heart.

He glanced at the completely crazed Magic-Patterned Strong Man and Old Demon Black Mountain, who was summoning a world-destroying existence; his gaze remained as calm as ever.

"Today's play ends here."

His left hand quietly gripped the disciple token at his waist.

"You want to leave?!"

Old Demon Black Mountain sensed the faint spatial fluctuations from him and let out a venomous shriek!

"In this old woman's 'Myriad Ghost Burial Domain,' even if an Immortal King personally came, they wouldn't dream of—"

Before she could finish her sentence.

Right before her eyes, Ye Chenfeng's figure vanished into thin air without any warning.

There was no spatial rift.

There was no teleportation Formation.

He just abruptly disappeared.

As if he had never appeared here in the first place.

"..."

Old Demon Black Mountain's shriek got stuck in her throat.

Her wrinkled old face completely froze.

"Boom—!"

The Eternal Corpse Demon, which had fully crawled out of the ground, threw a punch, turning the place where Ye Chenfeng had just stood—along with the surrounding space—into a patch of chaotic nothingness!

But that place was already empty.

*Pfft!*

Old Demon Black Mountain could no longer suppress it and spat out a mouthful of black blood!

Summoning the Corpse Demon had already cost her a huge amount of her Origin.

Now that the target had disappeared, she was severely injured by the backlash of her own fury!

Her aura instantly dropped from Late-stage Golden Immortal to Middle Stage Golden Immortal!

"Ah—!"

She let out the most venomous and unwilling roar of her life!

"A spatial supreme treasure!"

"A spatial supreme treasure that can ignore a Golden Immortal's Domain!"

She couldn't understand!

Just what kind of Sect, what kind of background, could provide a Heavenly Immortal Disciple with such a Heaven-Defying life-saving trump card!

"No matter who you are! In the heavens or on the earth! I, Old Demon Black Mountain, will surely grind your bones to ash!"

The venomous roar echoed across the shattered barren mountains... Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, Main Peak Square.

The light of the teleportation Formation flashed and vanished.

Ye Chenfeng's figure appeared in the center of the Formation, staggering.

He leaned on his sword with one hand, kneeling on one knee, panting heavily.

The searing pain in his back and the residual Death Qi in his left arm made his face somewhat pale.

"Yo, Senior Brother?"
