597: Chapter 597 He's already kneeling?

Xuan Yangzi stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze like lightning.

“According to the information provided by the scouting Disciples, the Black Rock Sect is in the Eastern Region, and the Yun Miao Pavilion is in the Western Region.”

“Both sides use the Central Ancient God Altar as their boundary and have been in a standoff for years. Our current position happens to be in the middle ground between these two major forces.”

An Old Ancestor beside him whispered, “Sect Master, if we appear directly, I'm afraid we will alert both sides at the same time.”

“Let them be alerted.”

Xuan Yangzi spoke calmly, his tone steady and cold. “We aren't here to mediate or form an alliance; we are here to take over this Immortal Domain.”

“Since we need to establish our authority, we shall start from the very moment we descend.”

As his voice fell.

The Earth Immortal Realm pressure around Xuan Yangzi's body was suddenly released, no longer hidden in the slightest.

Immediately following him, twenty Earth Immortals released their Auras simultaneously.

BOOM—!!

A terrifying Immortal Might, far exceeding the combined strength of the Black Rock Sect and Yun Miao Pavilion, swept across the entire Ancient God Tomb Immortal Domain like a tsunami!

The two major forces confronting each other at the Eastern Region outposts were both startled at almost the exact same time.

“Which powerhouse is this?!”

“Such terrifying Earth Immortal Auras, there are at least twenty of them!”

The entire Ancient God Tomb Immortal Domain instantly fell into a dead silence.

Cultivators who were originally in a standoff stopped at once, looking toward the horizon in horror at the dark meteor streaking through the Chaos.

Deep within the Black Rock Sect, an elderly figure surrounded by Black Rock Flames suddenly stood up, shouting in shock and anger:

“Where did this force come from, daring to act so presumptuously in the Ancient God Tomb!”

Deep within the Western Region's Yun Miao Pavilion, a cold female voice also carried a heavy tone:

“Such a massive lineup of Earth Immortals... it definitely doesn't belong to the Black Rock Sect.”

The qing ming boat did not slow down, descending like an ancient demon god, heading straight for the Central Ancient God Altar.

It dived toward the most core and symbolic position of sovereignty in this Immortal Domain.

Wherever the ship's hull passed, the Chaos currents rolled backward, and the Void Realm trembled for it.

Xuan Yangzi's robes fluttered as his gaze looked down upon the trembling earth, with only one thought in his heart.

From this day forth, in the Ancient God Tomb, there would be no more Black Rock Sect or Yun Miao Pavilion.

There would be only one voice—the Azure Profound Sect.

The qing ming boat descended with a crash, landing atop the Central Ancient God Altar.

The ship's doors swung open, and Xuan Yangzi stepped out. Behind him, twenty Earth Immortals stood like a formation of gods and demons, and two hundred True Immortals stood like blades and spears.

He raised his eyes, looking toward the Black Rock Sect in the east and then toward the Yun Miao Pavilion in the west. His voice was calm, yet it reached every inch of the land:

“From this day forth, the Ancient God Tomb Immortal Domain is under my jurisdiction. You all either surrender, or... die.”

Before his voice had even faded, a roar that shook the universe came from the eastern horizon.

From the direction of the Black Rock Sect, a figure wrapped in pitch-Black Rock Flames came stepping through the air.

The pressure of an Earth Immortal Peak bore down like Mount Tai, pressing toward the central altar; it was exactly the Hei Yan Old Ancestor.

From the direction of the Western Region's Yun Miao Pavilion, several figures stood atop the clouds. Leading them was a woman dressed in a plain white gown; she was the Pavilion Master of Yun Miao Pavilion.

Her expression was solemn as her gaze swept over the Azure Profound Sect's lineup, and she did not strike rashly.

She merely had the eight Earth Immortals under her command stand ready, clearly wanting the Black Rock Sect to go first to probe the background of this group.

“Arrogant! You're looking for death!”

The Hei Yan Old Ancestor's face was distorted. Rock flames surged in his palm, transforming into a ten-foot-long rock blade. His roar made the Void Realm tremble slightly.

“The Ancient God Tomb is the territory of my Black Rock Sect and the Yun Miao Pavilion. How can an outside force like you be allowed to run wild?”

“Today, let this old man crush you all into—”

His voice stopped abruptly.

His gaze had inadvertently swept over the figure on the qing ming boat whose immortal light was restrained—Xiao Bai!

With just that one look, the rock flames all over the Hei Yan Old Ancestor's body instantly froze.

The ferocity and rage on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by extreme terror.

Before anyone could react, there was a muffled "thud." This Earth Immortal Peak Hei Yan Old Ancestor knelt heavily in the Void Realm on both knees.

The violent pressure around him was instantly retracted completely, and even the rock blade in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang."

His head was buried low, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

This scene was like a thunderclap, shocking the entire Ancient God Tomb Immortal Domain!

The pupils of the Azure Profound Sect members all shrank slightly, their faces filled with bewilderment.

This Hei Yan Old Ancestor, who had been so aggressive and claimed he would crush them, had knelt directly without even making a move?

Where was the great battle?

Where was the slaughter?

How was this completely different from what they had expected?

Xiao Ruobai's sharp Battle Intent froze for a moment, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Then, he looked at Xiao Bai on the bridge and then at the kneeling, trembling Hei Yan Old Ancestor, seemingly understanding something.

Wang Xiaopang's eyes widened even further, his mouth forming an 'O' shape, while he still held a stack of Exploding Talismans in his hand.

He was stunned for a full two seconds before he suddenly nudged Mo Yu next to him with his elbow.

Lowering his voice, his tone was full of unbelievable absurdity: “Old Mo, they just knelt like that? I haven't even used my talismans yet!”

The seven Earth Immortals and over a hundred True Immortals behind the Black Rock Sect were even more completely dazed.

They froze in place, looking at each other, their weapons dropping to the ground with a series of clatters. Their eyes were full of disbelief:

“Old... Old Ancestor?!”

Above the clouds, the Pavilion Master of Yun Miao Pavilion also suddenly stood up, a stormy sea of shock rising in her heart, her mind filled with doubt and wariness:

How arrogant was the Hei Yan Old Ancestor? How could he be so weak that he didn't even have the courage to resist?

What exactly is the origin of this force?

As for the Hei Yan Old Ancestor kneeling in the Void Realm, he was already scared out of his wits.

Countless thoughts churned in his mind, his heart filled with both relief and fear—

It's him! It's really him!

When that existence flattened the main branch of the Ancient God Tomb back then, he had witnessed it with his own eyes from afar!

The one following behind was exactly this figure!”

That terrifying pressure that could wipe out a force at will still left him with lingering fears; he could even be startled awake from his dreams at midnight.

He never imagined that this outside force would actually be related to that peerless existence!

Looking up again, his peripheral vision caught the twenty Earth Immortals and two hundred True Immortals behind Xuan Yangzi.

The last trace of hope in the Hei Yan Old Ancestor's heart completely dissipated.

Fight? How could he fight?

The opponent had more than three times his number of Earth Immortals, and there was such a terrifying existence—who could easily wipe out even the main branch of the Ancient God Tomb back then—overseeing them.

Forget his Black Rock Sect; even if the Yun Miao Pavilion were added, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!

The reason he, the Hei Yan Old Ancestor, could establish himself in the chaotic Ancient God Tomb for so long was never because of hard fighting, but because he knew how to adapt to the situation!

Rather than resisting to the end and ending up with his Sect destroyed and his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

It was better to surrender early; at least he could save his own life and those of the Black Rock Sect!

Thinking of this, the Hei Yan Old Ancestor became even more humble, hurriedly kowtowing toward the qing ming boat repeatedly, his voice carrying an undisguisable tremble and flattery:

“Se... Senior, please forgive me! This Junior failed to recognize your greatness and did not know it was Senior arriving. I was offensive just now; please forgive me, Senior!”

“This Junior is willing to surrender! Everyone in the Black Rock Sect is willing to surrender and will follow your orders from now on with no second thoughts!”

The Hei Yan Old Ancestor's voice echoed over the silent altar.

In the Azure Profound Sect's ranks, after a brief dead silence, the bewilderment on the faces of the two hundred True Immortals slowly turned into an indescribable sense of absurdity and realization.

It turned out that so-called powerful enemies didn't even have the courage to strike in the face of true overwhelming power.

The twenty Earth Immortal Old Ancestors from the original Chengyun Immortal Domain exchanged glances, each seeing the solemnity and certainty in the other's eyes.

They were even more convinced that following the Qingyun Sect meant embarking on a truly magnificent path.

Above the clouds, the expression of the Pavilion Master of Yun Miao Pavilion changed completely.

She looked at the kneeling Hei Yan Old Ancestor and then at the powerful figures in the Azure Profound Sect's ranks.

Her heart instantly sank to the bottom.

Today, the weather in this Immortal Domain was likely about to change.
