793: True immortals walking in the mortal world

"Mountain Ranges!"

The golden spear pierced through the falling meteor, carrying the power of the Dao from Golden Spear Celestial Venerable and Mo Xuan, arriving with unstoppable force.

The snake tail's two strikes not only altered the momentum of the golden spear itself but also infused it with Mo Xuan's power, making the spear's might even superior.

Seeing the golden spear attacking, Old Man Mo Sheng found the world sealed; there was nowhere to hide.

With a solemn expression and a thought, he tapped his foot heavily.

The phantom of Heartbreak Cliff suddenly solidified.

Phantom after phantom of broken cliffs appeared out of thin air from the Void Realm.

They transformed into continuous divine mountains, like natural chasms, blocking the way in front of Old Man Mo Sheng.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden spear struck, and the divine mountains shattered one after another.

One of the two major techniques Old Man Mo Sheng took pride in was now facing the golden spear condensed with the power of Golden Spear Celestial Venerable and Mo Xuan.

It was torn apart like thin paper.

Boom!

The golden spear moved with overwhelming force, advancing indomitably.

After shredding the last towering divine mountain,

The meteor carried by the golden spear suddenly exploded.

As the fragments scattered,

The golden spear abruptly shrank, returning to its normal size.

It pointed directly at Old Man Mo Sheng's heart.

"Transform!"

Old Man Mo Sheng faced it as if confronting a formidable enemy.

The Star-Calling Flute in his hand suddenly expanded, blocking his front and spinning rapidly, turning into a wall thicker than a mountain.

Star-Calling Wall!

The shrunken golden spear did not pause.

With the weight of ten thousand hectares, it slammed into the silver barrier formed by the Star-Calling Flute in front of Old Man Mo Sheng.

"Not good!"

Upon the very first contact,

Old Man Mo Sheng secretly cried out in alarm.

The power of this golden spear was so majestic; it didn't seem to come from the mortal world, but rather from the hand of an Immortal.

Boom! Crack!

As expected,

after holding out for only a moment,

The silver barrier shattered.

A golden long spear pierced through the wall.

It pierced through the protective Divine Ability that Old Man Mo Sheng had condensed around his body using the power of the Dao.

It plunged into Old Man Mo Sheng's chest, passing right through.

Pfft!

Old Man Mo Sheng was sent flying backward.

Blood erupted from his mouth.

A great power, as if from an Immortal's strike, entered his body from the golden spear.

It tore apart everything within his body.

Even with an unparalleled cultivation at the Eighth Level of Tribulation Transcendence, facing this Immortal power was simply futile.

The golden spear carried Old Man Mo Sheng as it flew out,

Pinning him into the Void Realm.

With just one move,

Old Man Mo Sheng lost the chance to strike again, his life or death uncertain.

In that instant,

The ten-thousand-foot Golden Armored Giant's expression changed drastically.

The golden spear was his Dao-attaining weapon.

At this moment, it had become the opponent's weapon.

Even as its master, he found himself unable to stop it for a time.

He could only watch as the golden long spear pierced through Old Man Mo Sheng.

As Golden Spear Celestial Venerable's expression shifted, his thoughts raced.

He already felt the urge to retreat.

This Mo Xuan was no longer an existence they could rival.

This was a True Immortal walking the earth!

Five top-tier experts at the Eighth Level of Tribulation Transcendence had besieged him together.

Yet in just a moment,

Two were already out of the fight.

This exceeded his understanding of a Celestial Venerable.

Perhaps only a True Immortal could achieve this.

Golden Spear Celestial Venerable could no longer care about his Dao weapon.

In that instant, he prepared to transform into golden light and flee.

However, despite his intentions,

He remained frozen in place.

Golden Spear Celestial Venerable's heart froze as he looked up.

He saw a mass of black shadows above, obscuring the Void Realm.

A massive and hideous black snake head slowly emerged, its pupils calm and its gaze indifferent as it looked down.

An indescribable pressure accompanied it.

It left him unable to even perform his escape Divine Ability.

That sky-obscuring phantom filled his vision.

The warning image, like fate itself, that had appeared in his mind before the fight surfaced again.

The sky-obscuring black shadow would release mysterious black lightning, descending from the heavens.

It would completely obliterate his Dao Body, Dao Arts, Divine Soul, and even his Soul Mark.

"No!"

"Break for me!"

Golden Spear Celestial Venerable roared in his heart.

The Dao of Gold gathered around him, condensing into form to become a Spear of the Golden Dao, determined to break through this invisible suppressive force.

However, even so,

The suppressive force coming from above grew stronger and stronger.

Creak... Creak...

It forced the knees of the spear-straight Golden Armored Giant to slowly bend.

I, Golden Spear, an unparalleled Prodigy, how can I kneel?

If you want me to kneel, I would rather die!

This ever-increasing suppressive force caused Golden Spear Celestial Venerable to contort.

He was named after the Golden Spear.

A spear, like his backbone,

Has never bent.

"Burn, everything that I am!"

Golden Spear Celestial Venerable's expression turned to one of absolute resolve.

In his life, he had fought countless battles and encountered innumerable prodigies and powerful foes.

He had even been pushed to the brink by peerless enemies before.

But he had never met an opponent like Mo Xuan.

All of his methods were so powerless before Mo Xuan.

However, he was Golden Spear Celestial Venerable.

A golden spear never bends; it only breaks.

Boom!

Golden Spear Celestial Venerable burned everything.

His Dao, magic power, Dao Body, Divine Soul, and Soul Mark—every single thing was set ablaze.

He transformed into a long spear even more powerful and sharp than the one pinning Old Man Mo Sheng to the Void Realm, capable of piercing through anything.

Boom!

Golden Spear Celestial Venerable's resolute strike pierced through the pressure that dominated the world.

He stabbed fiercely toward the black shadow coiling above.

This strike

Was stronger than the spear that pierced Old Man Mo Sheng.

It was his final swan song in this mortal world.

It was the strongest strike of his life.

Rumble!

Thunder roared as a speck of purple-black light lit up on the single horn atop that hideous snake head.

A massive bolt of Divine Lightning of Destruction fell from the sky.

Like an Immortal acting on behalf of Heavenly Punishment, he brought down heavenly thunder upon the mortal realm.

The heavenly thunder contained the power to destroy all things.

It crashed down,

Striking the peerless spear that was soaring upward through the air.

Boom!

The heavenly thunder rolled, washing away everything.

The long spear gradually dimmed.

Finally, Golden Spear Celestial Venerable's battered true body was revealed.

He fell from within the lightning.

"You are quite good."

A voice carrying a hint of admiration faintly echoed in Golden Spear Celestial Venerable's ears.

This left him somewhat dazed.

Once upon a time,

When he had slain those opponents he admired,

He had said the same thing.

He hadn't expected the cycle of Karma and the unpredictability of fate.

He too would have a day where he heard these words.

"To be able to fight such a mortal Immortal... this life was not in vain..."

A free and easy smile of relief tugged at the corner of Golden Spear Celestial Venerable's mouth.

To have not yet attained Immortal Ascension, yet be able to fight such an existence, how fortunate.

As the saying goes, if one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening; this was the Dao of an Immortal, this was the power of an Immortal.

What he had sought all his life, he finally witnessed in the end.

"Just what kind of monster is he!"

Within the black lotus, the pale-faced Black Lotus Holy Venerable was terrified.

Golden Spear Celestial Venerable had died under the lightning.

Old Man Mo Sheng had been pierced by the golden spear, his fate unknown.

Great Heavenly Venerable of Black Demon was trapped within that endless water.

And he himself was enduring pain upon his Dao and Divine Soul.

He wanted to release the Black Lotus Seal; he wanted to leave.

But he discovered that the Black Lotus Mark imprinted on Mo Xuan's heart could not be removed.

Instead, with Mo Xuan's encouragement, it grew stronger and stronger.

It was far stronger than when he exerted his full power.

And he was still sharing that pain of burning and incinerating everything.

His Black Lotus Dao grew weaker and weaker in the burning.

Black Lotus Holy Venerable's face became increasingly pale.

"Let me add some more fire for you."
