572: Chapter 572 Coming Again?

Seeing the Sect Master slash down with the power of the heaven-burning warship, Ling Xi advanced instead of retreating, and Xiao Ruobai and the others moved instantly!

Xiao Ruobai's eyes narrowed as he reached into his storage ring and pulled out an ancient Command Talisman covered in intricate patterns.

Even without being activated, it already emitted a heavy, solemn pressure.

He gripped the Command Talisman tightly, his gaze locked onto the battle, ready to act the moment Ling Xi was in danger.

Wang Xiaopang directly slammed a Formation Plate onto the bluestone floor of the City Lord's Manor.

This palm-sized Formation Plate was carved with patterns of intertwined thunder and fire; the moment it touched the ground, crackling lightning and scorching fire surged forth.

It was clearly a powerful Formation.

"You guys hold your ground; let me fight first!"

Seeing this, Ling Xi turned back and shouted, her voice clear but filled with an indomitable Battle Intent.

Before her voice even faded, Ling Xi felt a slight warmth in her palm.

It was the Strange Stone she had snatched from Chi Lian.

For three days, she had been nourishing it daily with Devouring Dao Rhyme, and that faint resonance had grown from a thin thread into a surging undercurrent.

In the next moment, the Heaven-Devouring Immortal Art inside her body began to circulate frantically.

The Strange Stone in her hand suddenly erupted with brilliant spiritual light, and majestic, pure energy swept through her whole body like a rushing river along her Meridians!

The previously stagnant barrier of the True Immortal Middle Stage shattered under the impact of this energy, and her cultivation base skyrocketed like a rocket.

The aura of the True Immortal Late Stage instantly spread out, and the Devouring Dao Rhyme around her became so thick it wouldn't disperse. Pitch-black mist swirled around her, swallowing even the surrounding light.

"A Breakthrough?!"

The Sect Master's pupils constricted at the sight, the greed in his eyes intensifying, but he also became more wary, and his blade strike grew even more powerful.

"So what if you've had a Breakthrough? You will still die today!"

As the massive blade light carrying the heaven-burning flames slashed toward Ling Xi, she waved her hand and pointed.

All the Devouring Dao Rhyme condensed, and a pitch-black finger print collided violently with the crimson blade light!

"Boom—!!!"

The roar this time was even louder than before, and the Void Realm was torn open with several cracks a dozen feet wide.

The violent airwaves destroyed most of the City Lord's Manor's buildings, sending debris mixed with fire and black mist flying in all directions.

The bluestone beneath Ling Xi's feet shattered inch by inch, and she was forced back three steps.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes burning with Battle Intent. As her True Immortal Late Stage cultivation base circulated, any discomfort in her body was instantly suppressed.

And the Sect Master was also forced back three steps by the powerful recoil, the immortal fire beneath his feet flickering violently.

The heaven burning cauldron buzzed above his head. He looked at Ling Xi, and a genuine wariness finally appeared in his eyes:

"A True Immortal Late Stage with such combat power!"

The three Earth Immortal Early Stage Elders nearby could no longer hold back when they saw their Sect Master fight to a draw with a newly advanced True Immortal Late Stage.

The leading Elder waved his hand and barked, "Attack together! Kill this girl first, then wipe out the other four!"

As he spoke, the three Earth Immortal Elders transformed into two crimson streaks of light and lunged toward Ling Xi.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruobai let out a roar, stowed the Command Talisman back into his storage ring, and the golden light of his War God Body suddenly surged.

A War God Phantom several dozen feet tall condensed behind him as his fist, wrapped in thick immortal essence, smashed directly toward the Gray-Robed Elder's Fire Seal!

He actually didn't dodge, choosing to proactively engage this Earth Immortal Early Stage Elder!

The other True Immortals also moved together, their crimson immortal essence condensing into a rain of spears that filled the sky.

They swept toward Fang Hanyu, Wang Xiaopang, and Mo Yu, their True Immortal pressure overwhelming, leaving no room for escape.

"Courting death!"

Seeing Xiao Ruobai actually attack him, the Earth Immortal Elder increased his palm power by another thirty percent.

The Fire Seal instantly expanded to several dozen feet in size, the scorching heat making Xiao Ruobai's robes flutter loudly.

"A Void Immortal dares to challenge an Earth Immortal? Today, I'll leave nothing of your bones!"

"Boom—!"

The moment the fist and seal collided, a golden-red explosion tore through the sky!

Xiao Ruobai felt an unstoppable force surge from his fist like a mountain crashing down. The fierce immortal essence instantly shattered the golden light barrier around him.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Xiao Ruobai was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, slamming hard against the stone wall of the City Lord's Manor.

The hard bluestone wall collapsed with a crash, burying him in rubble. Amidst the swirling dust, a series of crisp "cracks" could be heard; no one knew how many of his bones had broken.

Through the dust, Ling Xi caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye. The bloodlust in her eyes deepened, but she did not allow herself to be distracted for even a second.

With the "What Doesn't Kill Me" Cultivation Technique taught by her Revered Master, this level of injury would soon be recovered by her Senior Brother.

"Hahaha!"

The Gray-Robed Elder stood with his palms pulled back, his face twisted in a smug, cruel grin.

"A mere Void Immortal trying to stop a carriage like a mantis? Did you really think condensing a War God Phantom would allow you to contend with the Earth Immortal Realm? What a joke!"

Just as he stepped forward to charge at Ling Xi, a streak of golden light suddenly shot out from the pile of rubble!

"Again?"

Xiao Ruobai's figure reappeared, suspended in mid-air.

He was covered in blood, his robes shredded into rags, and his exposed skin was covered in deep wounds that reached the bone.

Even the bones in his shoulders were exposed, and blood gushed from all over his body.

Yet the golden light of the War God Body around him was thirty percent brighter than before, and the War God Phantom behind him became even more solid.

The determination in his eyes carried a terrifying madness.

"What?!"

The Gray-Robed Elder's pupils shrank, and the smugness on his face instantly froze.

"You can still stand up?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ruobai's figure blurred as he turned into a golden streak of light, ignoring his injuries and throwing another punch!

Within the wind of his fist, there was actually a trace of a fierce Dao Rhyme born from destruction.

"Seeking death!"

The Gray-Robed Elder roared, and the Fire Seal in his palm condensed again, stronger than before.

"I'll see how long you can hold out!"

Another loud explosion!

Xiao Ruobai was sent flying again, and this time, his body exploded in mid-air.

"Finally dead..."

The Gray-Robed Elder breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to turn away, he saw the mist of blood and golden light in the sky suddenly swirl frantically, and an even more powerful aura erupted!

The War God Body was fundamentally about nourishing the body through battle, growing stronger with every setback!

The two heavy blows just now had not broken Xiao Ruobai; instead, they had stimulated the War God Body's Origin power.

His shattered bones rapidly reorganized within the golden light, his severed Meridians healed instantly, and even the immortal essence in his Dantian grew thicker amidst the extreme pain.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ruobai's figure re-condensed in the Void Realm.

All the wounds on his body had healed, leaving only faint bloodstains.

The War God Phantom swelled to a height of a hundred feet, the golden light as dazzling as the sun, and his cultivation base even showed signs of a Breakthrough!

"What the hell is this?!" The Gray-Robed Elder was stunned.

Xiao Ruobai didn't speak; he only slowly clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.

He once again turned into golden light and charged at the Gray-Robed Elder, his fist pointing forward with indomitable force!

"Boom!"

Another heavy blow, and Xiao Ruobai was sent flying for the third time. His body drew a bloody arc in the sky before crashing heavily into the ground, creating a crater several dozen feet deep.

But before the Gray-Robed Elder could react, another streak of golden light shot up from the crater.

Xiao Ruobai's figure reappeared, the luster of his War God Body becoming even more brilliant. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes burned with Battle Intent as if he didn't know what pain was, and he charged at the Gray-Robed Elder once more.

Looking at that persistent golden figure, the Gray-Robed Elder's scalp tingled, and he roared:

"Madman! What kind of monster are you?! Even after all that, you're coming again?!"
