689: Chapter 690 The Fall of the Ghost Mist Immortal King

"Boom—!!!"

A silent roar exploded within the bodies of the five!

Within the barrier, five terrifying auras of different colors erupted like volcanoes suppressed for eons!

Pale gold Battle Intent soared to the heavens, gray Sword Qi tore through the sky, darkness devoured all things, bronze blood-qi shook the earth, and Qilin auspiciousness enveloped them!

The five auras intertwined, collided, and climbed, instantly breaking through that invisible boundary!

"Crack—!"

It was as if countless shackles were broken simultaneously!

Inside the barrier space, energy surged wildly, and five-colored divine light rampaged. Had it not been for the Little Qiankun Essence-Locking Array isolating it, the terrifying fluctuations caused by the five breaking through simultaneously would have been clearly felt for a thousand miles around!

However, the Formation Plate truly lived up to being born under Gu Changge's guidance; no matter how violently the internal energy collided, the barrier's light wall only rippled slightly.

It perfectly locked all the auras, Dao Rhymes, and phenomena within this ten-zhang radius, with not a single trace leaking to the outside world!

The Breakthrough came naturally.

The divine light around the five slowly withdrew, and their auras became vast and heavy, a world of difference from before.

Immortal Lord!

Leveraging the supreme Dao Rhyme of the dao-embodying mysterious crystals, they stepped into a new realm in one fell swoop within this forbidden land!

"I feel better than ever before." Xiao Ruobai slowly clenched his fist, feeling the surging, majestic immortal power within his body that far exceeded what he had before.

"It's time to go out and meet those old friends." A wisp of Chaos Sword Qi flickered at Fang Hanyu's fingertips, easily carving a tiny black scar in space.

"However," Xiao Ruobai's gaze swept outside the barrier, faintly sensing the auras of those Immortal Kings who were in hot pursuit nearby.

"Perhaps, before we head out, we can collect some interest first."

A flash of cold killing intent crossed his eyes, and everyone instantly understood his thoughts.

Wang Xiaopang's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly. "When we killed that old geezer Tianluo just now, this Fat Master didn't give it his all. Now's the perfect time to test the weight of this new Breakthrough!"

Fang Hanyu nodded, Chaos Sword Qi quietly circulating around him.

"Dong Li, can you still sense Guiwu's location?" Xiao Ruobai looked at the listless fox.

Dong Li forced himself to perk up, a phantom light flickering in his crimson eyes. After a moment, he pointed his paw toward the southeast:

"Over there, in the Bone-Rotting Forest about three hundred miles away. He's stopped, and his aura is connected to the entire forest, as if he's setting up some kind of investigative secret technique..."

"Very good." Xiao Ruobai interrupted him, his tone decisive.

"Now is the time. While he's distracted by his investigation and hasn't settled in, we strike proactively!"

"Stay hidden, kill with one blow, and don't linger!"

The five simultaneously operated the Cannot See Through Me Cultivation Technique, completely concealing their newly broken-through auras that were still leaking slightly.

Like five arrows merging into the shadows, they quietly slipped out of the Profound Yin Earth Aperture and sneaked toward the Bone-Rotting Forest.

They soon reached Immortal King Guiwu's location. At this moment, he was focused on setting up his investigative secret technique, completely unaware of the approaching group.

Now! Xiao Ruobai and the other four moved!

Almost simultaneously, the five pushed the Cant Beat Me Cultivation Technique circulating within them to its first Peak since their Breakthrough to Immortal Lord!

"Buzz—!!!"

The moment the fluctuations of the five people spread out, they produced a certain resonance!

Instantly, an invisible yet heavy-enough-to-make-all-things-tremble combined Domain was formed, covering a radius of several hundred zhang!

This Domain appeared so quickly and naturally, as if it was always meant to be there.

"What?!"

Immortal King Guiwu, who was casting most of his attention toward the northeast, shuddered violently, his face instantly turning as pale as paper!

An indescribable terror instantly seized his Divine Soul!

He felt as if he had been thrown into a completely foreign, terrifying world where rules were utterly twisted in an instant!

The Nether Ghost Dao Laws around him, which he could once command as easily as his own limbs, were now incredibly difficult to mobilize, as if he were struggling within solidified amber.

The circulation speed of the majestic immortal power in his body plummeted; he couldn't even exert thirty percent of his full power!

"No—! What is this damn thing?! Zhenyue! Save..."

Immortal King Guiwu was scared out of his wits, letting out a roar of extreme horror. He exhausted all his cultivation trying to break free, to escape, to detonate his life-bound ghost artifact...

However, it was too late.

At the same time the combined Domain enveloped and suppressed him—

Xiao Ruobai and the other four, who were like fish in water within the Domain and whose spiritual senses were amplified to the extreme, moved.

Every obscure node of immortal power circulation within Immortal King Guiwu's body, the violent fluctuations of his Divine Soul due to extreme fear, and the thirteen fatal flaws exposed after his Nether Ghost Domain was suppressed...

Everything was as clear as the lines on one's palm in the perception of the five at this moment.

The five simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks.

"Chii!"

"Crack!"

"Boom—!"

Under the absolute control and amplification of the Domain, the five attacks struck their respective targets almost simultaneously and without hindrance.

The protective ghost mist melted away like snow under a spring sun.

Immortal King Guiwu's face was frozen in boundless horror, daze, and a hint of absurd disbelief. His body, as if drained of all bones and Soul, slumped down limply.

The gray mist around him quickly dissipated, and his connection with the Bone-Rotting Forest was completely severed.

The second Immortal King had fallen.

From the five's eruption to Guiwu's fall, the entire process was completed in a single breath.

"Go!"

Xiao Ruobai barked in a low voice, his face slightly pale. To ensure a certain kill with one blow, all five had unleashed their full power.

Fang Hanyu, Ling Xi, Mo Yu, and Wang Xiaopang's auras had also dropped, but their eyes remained as sharp as knives.

The five did not linger, not even looking at Immortal King Guiwu's completely crumbled corpse as they swept up his remaining Storage Ring.

Pushing their speed to the limit, they fled rapidly in the direction opposite to Immortal King Zhenyue's location!

The moment their figures vanished into the thick purple miasma, the aftershocks of the combined Domain also completely dissipated.

The Bone-Rotting Forest returned to a deathly silence, with only the rapidly fading final trace of an Immortal King's aura in the air telling the tale of that brief and lethal silent slaughter.

A few breaths later.

"Guiwu's aura... has vanished?!"

Immortal King Zhenyue, who was searching in another direction, suddenly halted and abruptly turned his head toward this way, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinheads!

Jian Chenzi and Immortal King Yunyao, who were traveling with him in the distance, also had their expressions change drastically at the same time!

"Not good!"

Three figures tore through the void, instantly appearing in the sky above the Bone-Rotting Forest.

Looking at the cracked skull below and Immortal King Guiwu's life mark that was completely returning to heaven and earth...

The three Immortal Kings fell silent.

This time, there was no explosion, no intense energy residue.

There was only a heart-stoppingly silent death scene.

Immortal King Zhenyue's expression became incredibly solemn, even carrying a hint of fear that he himself was unwilling to admit.

"This... what kind of method is this?"

Immortal King Yunyao's voice was dry. She tried to sense something, but only felt that the Dao Laws in that area seemed to have been crudely smoothed over by some force, leaving nothing to be detected.

Jian Chenzi's hand gripping his sword had slightly whitened knuckles. As a Sword Cultivator, he was most sensitive to momentum and fields.

He could faintly sense that what remained there was a higher-level crushing mark concerning combat states and the application of rules.

"Swish!" "Swish!"

Two more powerful Immortal King auras approached from afar, descending over the Bone-Rotting Forest.

In such a short time, two Immortal Kings who were renowned in their respective regions had fallen one after another in this Purple Miasma Mountain? Moreover, looking at the traces here, the battle had ended strangely and swiftly!

The two simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air, expressions of horror appearing on their faces.

"Chase... should we still chase?" Immortal King Yunyao looked at Immortal King Zhenyue.

The muscles on Immortal King Zhenyue's face twitched, and purple light flashed wildly in his eyes, a mix of anger, greed, wariness, and fear.

After a full three breaths, a strange and certain smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his voice was hoarse yet carried a hint of ruthlessness:

"Chase! But... no more splitting up."

"This King has already sent out the highest-level Purple Pole Reinforcement Order, reporting everything here! I have asked Your Majesty to decide, and I believe reinforcements will arrive in an instant!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jian Chenzi and Immortal King Yunyao's expressions changed drastically!

Too fast! This old scoundrel Zhenyue was actually prepared! The Ziji Imperial Dynasty wants to monopolize the Opportunity and doesn't even want to share a drop of soup with them!

"We absolutely cannot let the Ziji Imperial Dynasty have it all!"

Sword Intent surged in Jian Chenzi's eyes. Without further hesitation, he pointed his fingers like a sword and carved into the void. Soon, a surge of Sword Intent instantly vanished into the void, heading straight for the depths of the Wuji Sword Sect!

Immortal King Yunyao's face was also as calm as water. With a flip of her delicate hand, a talisman shattered and light scattered, sending an urgent fluctuation across space.

Seeing this, the other two Immortal Kings became even more anxious, each employing their ultimate communication methods, fearing that if they were a step late, their Sects wouldn't even have the qualification to compete.

Throughout the entire Purple Miasma Mountain, the air was filled with the oppressive feeling of an impending storm.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the infinitely high void, Xiao Hei stood quietly, watching everything below with his mouth slightly curved:

"They're putting on quite a lively show!"
