673: Chapter 673 Cold Dragon Immortal Emperor

The most brutal struggle was on Immortal King Mo Chen’s side; facing his former colleagues, no trace of past sentiment remained in his eyes. There was only the madness of risking his life for merit, trading injury for injury and blood for blood, striking terror into his opponents' hearts.

They did not participate in the top-level duels but instead roared across the high skies like two giant scythes of the Grim Reaper, specifically strangling the scattered battle Formations of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, the Immortal Lords coming to the rescue, and the strongholds attempting to activate large-scale war machines.

Wherever they passed, demonic winds swept through and the earth shattered, greatly accelerating the collapse of the Hundred Immortals Alliance army.

At the bow of the qing ming boat, Xuan Yangzi and the Second Ancestor stood side by side, controlling the overall situation.

Xuan Yangzi’s gaze calmly swept across the chaotic battlefield.

Wherever resistance was slightly stronger, he would shift his thoughts to transmit orders to the two Great Yao Kings to make adjustments.

Wherever unexpected variables appeared, the Second Ancestor would cross the Void Realm to perform precise kills, nipping them in the bud.

They didn't even have to act; just by standing there, they gave the entire Azure Profound Sect army absolute confidence and a sense of control.

Within less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn after the start of the battle, the situation had already become a one-sided crush.

The resistance of the Hundred Immortals Alliance quickly crumbled under the absolute power of the Azure Profound Sect, their exquisite coordination, high morale, and the chaotic impact of the Yao Beasts and surrendered troops.

Immortal King Tianchen’s eyes were nearly splitting as he watched his Disciples fall in droves and several of his Immortal King colleagues in dire straits; his heart bled.

He frantically pushed his secret techniques, trying to force back the Great Ancestor to rescue others, but he was pinned down firmly by the Great Ancestor, with several deep-to-the-bone wounds already added to his body.

"Is the Heavens truly going to destroy my Hundred Immortals Alliance? Why haven't the reinforcements from the Wind and Snow Pavilion arrived yet?!"

Just as a cry of despair rose in his heart—

"Buzz..."

A low, long hum, as if coming from the depths of an eternal ice field, resounded through the heavens and earth without warning, instantly drowning out all the sounds of slaughter on the battlefield.

Above the headquarters of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, a crack silently split open in the Void Realm, and an endless pale chill spread out, freezing the surging Spiritual Qi and the fires of war into layers of frost.

A figure of an old man dressed in a moon-white robe with hair and beard as white as snow stepped out from the pale void.

It was exactly Immortal Emperor Han Chi of the Wind and Snow Pavilion!

The moment he set foot in this realm, the true pressure of an Immortal Sovereign descended with a bang, as if an entire glacial epoch was crushing down.

Immortal Emperor Han Chi stood with his hands behind his back, his spine ramrod straight, his eyes slightly raised, and his gaze as indifferent as ten-thousand-year-old profound ice. The pale chill around him became increasingly sharp with his posture.

With an air of having everything under control and looking down upon ants, he displayed the full arrogance and prestige of an Immortal Sovereign, as if he could decide the life and death of this battlefield with just a single word.

The battlefield instantly froze; all Cultivators below the level of Immortal King felt their Divine Souls tremble and their immortal power stagnate. Even the two rampaging Yao Beast Immortal Kings let out terrified whimpers and prostrated themselves.

"Tianchen of the Hundred Immortals Alliance welcomes the presence of Immortal Emperor Han Chi! Please, Immortal Sovereign, take action to exterminate these scoundrels and save my Sect!"

Immortal King Tianchen roared with excitement, the wild joy of surviving a desperate situation nearly bringing him to tears.

Immortal Emperor Han Chi’s gaze did not waver; he remained standing with his hands behind his back, scanning the battlefield below, his tone as flat and emotionless as could be: "I have no intention of interfering in your disputes."

"But since I have received your offerings, I shall settle this matter. All of you, retreat."

The last three words were addressed to the Azure Profound Sect, with a tone of contempt and unquestionable authority, as if he were driving away a swarm of insignificant ants.

As his voice fell, the pale chill between heaven and earth suddenly intensified, and the sounds of the void freezing rang out densely.

But just at the moment this chill was about to envelop the people of the Azure Profound Sect—

"Boom!!!"

A dark-cyan beam of light, condensing the core power of the qing ming boat, shot out from the bow without warning at an extreme speed.

It even tore a faint trail in the void, blasting straight toward Immortal Emperor Han Chi, who was still posing with his hands behind his back!

Immortal Emperor Han Chi’s pupils shrank abruptly, and the indifference and arrogance on his face instantly shattered, replaced by extreme astonishment and confusion.

He had not expected at all that these Immortal King ants in his eyes would actually dare to take the initiative to attack, and that the attack would be so swift and domineering!

He didn't even have time to activate his protective immortal light, let alone mobilize his Immortal Sovereign power, before being struck squarely in the chest by that dark-cyan beam of light.

"Puff—!"

Immortal Emperor Han Chi let out a muffled groan, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string. His moon-white robe was instantly soaked in blood, and his neatly groomed silver-white hair was blown into a disheveled mess.

His previous Immortal Sovereign majesty vanished without a trace, his face full of unbelievable daze, his mind blank except for a single thought: How dare they?!

The battlefield instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone in the Hundred Immortals Alliance was completely stunned, standing in place with mouths agape. The wild joy on their faces froze, replaced by deep confusion and shock.

Immortal King Tianchen’s mouth was wide open, his roar stuck in his throat, as he stared blankly at the retreating Immortal Emperor Han Chi, almost unable to believe his eyes.

An Immortal Sovereign? The Immortal Sovereign they had pinned their hopes on was actually blasted away by a single beam from the qing ming boat?

Even on the Azure Profound Sect's side, many Disciples showed looks of astonishment; only Xuan Yangzi and several Old Ancestors remained calm, as if they had already anticipated all of this.

Xuan Yangzi stood at the bow of the qing ming boat: "I've been guarding against you for a long time. Trying to act tough in front of me? You're still a bit green!"

Immortal Emperor Han Chi steadied himself and slowly looked up.

On his face, the indifference and coldness from his arrival were gone, replaced by a mixture of shock, fury, humiliation, and an uncontrollable, white-hot greed.

He could clearly feel that the energy level and the application of Laws contained in that strike were by no means the methods of an Immortal King; they even surpassed the casual strike of an ordinary Early Stage Immortal Sovereign.

"Good, what a fine war vessel!"

Immortal Emperor Han Chi’s voice was slightly hoarse due to the violent fluctuations of his emotions, his gaze firmly locked onto the towering and motionless main qing ming boat.

"To be able to erupt with a power capable of harming this Emperor... for such a supreme treasure to fall into the hands of people like you is simply casting pearls before swine!"

The last trace of perfunctory commitment to the Hundred Immortals Alliance vanished; at this moment, only the purest possessiveness remained in his heart.

As long as he could seize this ship, what did a little embarrassment today matter?

"Come to this Emperor—now!"

He barked out, no longer holding back as his vast Middle Stage Immortal Sovereign cultivation completely erupted!

Endless ice Laws condensed around him, transforming into a Giant Profound Ice Hand that blotted out the sun with clear textures. Its five fingers were spread wide, carrying a terrifying Dao Rhyme that could freeze space and capture all things, as it clawed directly toward the qing ming boat!

This time, he not only wanted to seize the ship but also intended to crush the controllers within it to death, completely eliminating any hidden threats!

"Stubborn and foolish!" Xuan Yangzi stood at the bow, his eyes cold, as he once again activated the Formation core without hesitation.

An even thicker and more solid Divine Light of Destruction hammered out, colliding fiercely with the Giant Profound Ice Hand!

"Boom—!!!"

An explosion ten times more violent than before blossomed in the sky, and a tide of destructive energy swept in all directions, directly leveling many mountain peaks below.

The Giant Profound Ice Hand shattered inch by inch, and the Chaos Divine Light also exhausted its power and dissipated.

Immortal Emperor Han Chi’s figure swayed again as he retreated a hundred steps. Although he wasn't injured, being repelled twice by ants relying on external objects had caused the fury in his chest to reach its peak, his reason nearly swallowed by greed and killing intent.

"This Emperor wants to see just how many more times your turtle shell can block!"

His voice was chillingly cold as his hands suddenly formed seals before his chest. His Aura surged madly once again, drawing in the ice-element Origin from millions of miles around to converge frantically.

A phantom of an Extinction Ice Spear, which seemed capable of freezing eras and ending all things, slowly condensed above his head, locking onto the qing ming boat!

This time, he was going to use his true methods. Even if he had to pay some price, he would break through this warship's defenses in one go and seize the supreme treasure!

However, just as he concentrated all his mind to drive this killing blow and his gaze subconsciously swept over the qing ming boat to confirm the final target's position—

His movements suddenly froze, and his pupils abruptly shrank to the extreme.

Because, at the end of his gaze, atop the highest main mast of the qing ming boat, a figure had appeared at some unknown time.

"It's... it's him?!!"

Immortal Emperor Han Chi felt as if he had been struck by the lightning of the Nine Heavens. His Divine Soul shook violently, and an extreme chill originating from biological instinct—even surpassing the fear of death—instantly froze all his thoughts, fury, and greed!

That day at the Myriad Immortals Sect, those two figures that crushed everything like gods and demons, that terrifying scene of wiping out an Immortal Venerable with a wave of a hand, resurfaced before his eyes like the deepest nightmare!

"No—! Impossible! How could that Star of Calamity be here?!"

All questions lost their meaning in the face of absolute terror.

There wasn't a trace of greed or killing intent left on his face, only a ghost-like horror and an instinctive desire to survive.

He didn't even bother to take back the half-condensed Extinction Ice Spear, nor did he look again at the qing ming boat he had been longing for.

His body was one step faster than his thoughts; he suddenly turned around, burned his natal essence blood, and transformed into a streak of pale light, fleeing madly toward the crack in the void at an incredible speed.

"Run! Run fast!!!"
