630: Chapter 630 We've taken a narrow path!

Attacks from three Immortal Venerable-level sides poured out simultaneously, their terrifying power enough to make ordinary Immortal Venerables hesitate.

Gu Changge retreated tens of thousands of miles away with Ji Qingyi, Yue Liuli, and Su Hanzhou, leaving the battlefield to the two of them.

His gaze was calm; Xiao Bai and Jimie had not experienced a major battle since ascending to Immortal Venerable, so these Immortal Venerables were the perfect "whetstones."

"Perfect timing!"

The playfulness in Xiao Bai's eyes vanished, replaced by a blazing Battle Intent. His black robes fluttered loudly as his form suddenly swelled, transforming into his ten-thousand-foot-long Black Dragon true form!

Pitch-black dragon scales shimmered with a cold luster amidst the Chaos. His dragon claws tore through the air, carrying a world-destroying might as they struck directly at the Guixu Devouring Vortex.

"Boom—!!!"

The dragon claws and the vortex collided with a thunderous crash. Violent energy shockwaves swept in all directions, and the Chaos currents surged like ten-thousand-foot-high tidal waves.

Xiao Bai felt a terrifying suction from his palm, seemingly intent on devouring all his dragon power. He let out a roar as the Immortal Qi of an Immortal Venerable Late Stage exploded frantically within him.

His dragon might shook the universe, forcefully shattering the devouring vortex and causing countless black air currents to scatter and flee.

Simultaneously, Jimie's Dao Rhyme surged out like an ink-colored tide, forming an indestructible barrier.

The Bone Rain from the Bone-Erosion Elder fell upon the barrier, the bone spikes instantly annihilated by the Jimie Dao Rhyme without leaving a single trace.

Profound Truth Master's whisk sword shadows struck but were repelled by the barrier; the sword shadows shattered and dissipated into a sky full of spiritual light.

"The Dao Rhyme of these two is actually this strong!"

Void Devouring Immortal Venerable's pupils constricted, his heart filled with horror.

He hadn't expected that the opponent's two Immortal Venerables could simultaneously block attacks from three sides!

"Join forces and kill them!"

Blood Pupil Demon Lord gave a sinister laugh. The sea of blood beneath him churned, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long blood dragon that charged fiercely toward Xiao Bai, carrying a thick scent of blood.

The other Immortal Venerables no longer hesitated, attacking Xiao Bai and Jimie's vital points directly.

Five Immortal Venerables struck at once!

Xiao Bai and Jimie stood back-to-back with solemn expressions, but without a hint of fear.

Since ascending to Immortal Venerable, they had never had such a satisfying battle. The Immortal Qi within them was already restless; this was the perfect time to temper their dao foundation and familiarize themselves with their combat power!

"Jimie, I'll leave the left to you!"

Xiao Bai roared, his dragon tail sweeping across to deflect the blood dragon's attack. Then, with a flash, he turned into a streak of pitch-black light, charging straight at Void Devouring Immortal Venerable and Blood Pupil Demon Lord.

His dragon claws flew, each strike carrying the power to tear through Chaos. As they collided with the duo's attacks, earth-shattering booms rang out continuously, and the Chaos currents were shattered inch by inch.

Jimie nodded slightly. The Jimie Dao Rhyme around him grew even denser, transforming into countless black Sword Qi that met Profound Truth Master and the two Immortal Venerables from the Guixu Cult.

The battle erupted instantly as the five Immortal Venerables fought the two in pairs. Immortal light flashed brilliantly within the Chaos, Dao Rhymes intertwined and collided, and terrifying energy fluctuations swept in all directions like a tsunami.

Xiao Bai's Black Dragon form wove through the Chaos, his dragon might intimidating the universe. Every impact caused the blood and Qi of Void Devouring Immortal Venerable and Blood Pupil Demon Lord to surge uncontrollably.

Jimie's Jimie Dao Rhyme was like a maggot on a bone, tightly entangling Profound Truth Master and the other two, making it difficult for them to exert their full strength.

"The combat power of these Immortal Venerables truly lives up to its reputation!"

Xiao Bai thought to himself as the Immortal Qi within him circulated more smoothly. His control over dragon power became increasingly refined, and the Fusion of Dao Rhyme and Immortal Qi grew more perfect.

Jimie remained expressionless, but a sharp glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

His Jimie Dao Rhyme was constantly being perfected in battle. Every time he annihilated an opponent's attack, his understanding of the word "Jimie" deepened, and his aura slowly climbed.

In the distance, aboard the Myriad Immortals Sect's Immortal Ship, the confidence on Immortal Venerable Yuxu's face gradually froze, replaced by a hint of disbelief.

He had thought that with three sides of Immortal Venerables joining forces, they would surely take down the opponent easily. He hadn't expected the two Immortal Venerables to be so formidable, not only holding their own against five but growing even more courageous as they fought!

Immortal Venerable Xuanming's brow furrowed, the schemes in the depths of his eyes growing more intense.

Meanwhile, those Immortal Sovereign-level forces that had been watching from the edge of the Chaos were already scared out of their wits. Their warships retreated continuously, only daring to steady themselves after reaching hundreds of thousands of miles away.

They gazed at the boiling Chaos, feeling the terrifying pressure within, their hearts filled with relief and awe.

A life-and-death battle of this Immortal Venerable level was definitely not something they could interfere in; a slight lapse would result in their Divine Souls being completely destroyed.

On the battlefield, the fighting grew increasingly intense.

Xiao Bai was in the thick of a fierce battle with Void Devouring Immortal Venerable and Blood Pupil Demon Lord. Dragon claws collided with the Void Scepter and the blood dragon, each impact erupting with dazzling sparks.

Void Devouring Immortal Venerable's spatial Dao Rhyme was strange and unpredictable, occasionally tearing through space to launch sneak attacks.

Blood Pupil Demon Lord's Immortal Venerable Peak cultivation erupted fully, and his sea of blood could continuously devour energy to recover his own consumption. The two of them together put considerable pressure on Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai roared, and the Immortal Qi in his body exploded without reservation. A layer of golden light appeared over his Black Dragon form, and his dragon might surged several times over.

He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a stream of pitch-black Dragon Breath. Wherever the Dragon Breath passed, the Chaos currents were instantly annihilated as it blasted directly toward Void Devouring Immortal Venerable and Blood Pupil Demon Lord.

"Not good!"

The two's expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly joined forces to summon a defense. The Void Scepter turned into a massive barrier, and the blood dragon blocked in front of them.

"Boom—!!!"

The Dragon Breath slammed into the barrier, which shattered instantly. The blood dragon let out a shrill scream as its form broke apart, and Void Devouring Immortal Venerable spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying backward.

Blood Pupil Demon Lord was also shaken by the shockwave, retreating repeatedly as a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

Simultaneously, the battle between Jimie and Profound Truth Master's trio reached a fever pitch.

The Jimie Dao Rhyme condensed into a massive black longsword. Dao Rhyme flowed over the sword as it slashed toward the three with a power that could annihilate everything.

Profound Truth Master and the other two looked solemn and hurriedly joined forces to resist. Immortal swords and Dao-power spears collided with the black longsword, and all three were shaken as their blood and Qi surged, and they retreated together.

The five Immortal Venerables' expressions changed drastically, and for the first time, thoughts of retreat surfaced in their hearts.

They hadn't expected that even with five against two, they would not only fail to capture the opponents but be beaten into a steady retreat. These two's combat power was truly too terrifying!

Meanwhile, in the distance, aboard the Myriad Immortals Sect's Immortal Ship.

The compassionate and merciful expression on Immortal Venerable Xuanming's face had now been completely replaced by a cold calculation.

His gaze was like lightning, swiftly scanning the battlefield. Although the Black Dragon transformed from Xiao Bai and Jimie were growing more courageous and forcing the five Immortal Venerables back...

His gaze, like a most venomous snake, quietly bypassed the boiling Chaos and locked onto that seemingly calm void tens of thousands of miles away.

There, Gu Changge was focused on the battlefield, and by his side, Yue Liuli's remnant soul floated quietly.

Though that aura was weak, it still exuded an endless antiquity and the majesty of one who had long held a high position.

"So that's how it is..."

A hard-to-detect, cold smile curved at the corner of Immortal Venerable Xuanming's mouth as he instantly understood.

"That black dragon and that black-clothed Cultivator are merely the sharp claws and fangs displayed on the surface.

The one who truly holds the core secrets of the Taichu Ancient Road is that remnant soul!"

"That temperament from someone who has long held a supreme position and comes from ancient times... it definitely cannot be mistaken."

His gaze then fell upon Gu Changge. That calm, perhaps even overly young face must belong to a highly talented young vessel carefully chosen to carry this crucial remnant soul!

Thoughts flashed through Immortal Venerable Xuanming's mind, and the greed and urgency in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

He couldn't wait any longer!

The black dragon and the black-clothed Cultivator were growing stronger as they fought. If he waited until they truly defeated or even severely injured those five useless fools, the situation would completely spiral out of control.

"Now is the time!"

A sharp glint flashed in Immortal Venerable Xuanming's eyes as he completely tore off his compassionate and gentle facade.

He didn't say a word to the others on the ship. Merging with the Chaos currents, he stepped off the Immortal Ship like a ghost.

This step seemed effortless, yet it crossed tens of thousands of miles of Chaos!

And tens of thousands of miles away, Gu Changge seemed to have already sensed the movement behind him.

He didn't turn around, his gaze still fixed on the battlefield, but a very faint, somewhat playful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth as he whispered to himself, "The path has narrowed."
