750: Chapter 751 The Pursuit of the Void

A cold light flashed in Fang Hanyu's eyes as his Chaos Sword Qi suddenly erupted; he was no longer holding back!

Weng—!!

The gray Sword Qi no longer restrained itself, splitting open like a bottomless abyss. A terrifying pressure capable of destroying all Laws swept through the field, making even the Laws of heaven and earth tremble amidst the sword's cry.

He gave the long sword in his hand a light shake, and instead of attacking any one person, he slashed toward the void.

This strike had no world-shaking light or thunderous roar, yet it caused the air of the entire battlefield to freeze instantly!

“Crack—!!” The void shattered silently.

The immortal arts, Magic Treasures, and Bloodline phantoms flooding the sky were like ice and snow meeting a scorching sun before this Chaos Sword Qi, annihilating inch by inch and melting away layer by layer!

The violent wave of energy was severed by a single sword strike. The charging Prodigies felt a fatal chill lock onto their Divine Souls, and their movements instantly froze in place.

“No—!!”

The screams came to an abrupt halt.

The dozen or so Prodigies in the front row didn't even have time to activate their protective immortal light before their bodies were silently sliced by the Sword Qi. Blood splattered as they were sent flying, their jade talismans shattering to transport them out of the Secret Realm—eliminated!

The power of a single sword strike intimidated the entire crowd!

Xiao Ruobai stepped forward as his War God Blood-Qi soared into the sky. His halberd crossed the air, and a golden halberd glow swept through the thousand-strong army!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

With one sweep of the halberd, a golden wave of light crushed everything. Rows of Prodigies were sent flying with broken bones and tendons; Magic Treasures shattered, and screams filled the air.

A dark light surged in Ling Xi's eyes as her Devouring Dao Domain spread out. All incoming energy was swallowed up, and with a flick of her hand, a Ghost Shadow Blade pierced through the void, insta-killing several people.

Wang Xiaopang formed hand seals, and thousands of defensive runes instantly transformed into a Cage Grand Array, trapping more than half of the Prodigies in place. Unable to move, they could only wait to be slaughtered.

Only three breaths had passed.

The dozens of Prodigies who had been so imposing just a moment ago were now dead, injured, or eliminated. Not a single person dared to step forward again!

Everyone looked at Xiao Ruobai's group of six as if they were looking at six gods of slaughter; their eyes held nothing but extreme terror and trembling.

Immortal Lord Peak? Is this really the Immortal Lord Peak?!

“Go!”

With a low shout, Xiao Ruobai's group of six no longer lingered. Their forms simultaneously turned into six streaks of light, moving at extreme speeds toward the dense forest in the depths of the Secret Realm.

In an instant, they disappeared behind layers of ancient trees, leaving only a faint wisp of pressure lingering over the battlefield.

The surrounding Prodigies stared in the direction the six had gone, but not a single one dared to give chase, only able to watch them leave.

Shen Jinghong and the others smiled at each other but did not follow, remaining where they were to observe the situation. Only Mo Cha's demonic flames became increasingly violent, the greed in his eyes deepening as he licked his lips and murmured softly:

“Such strong combat power. Chaos Sword Qi, War God Blood-Qi, Qilin True Body... every one of them can be called top-grade nourishment. I’ve claimed them!”

Atop the mountain Peak, Ao Zhan, Xuan Yi, Huang Jiutian, and the others watched the direction the six had departed, their expressions growing more solemn, yet they did not move.

No one noticed that at the moment the six left, a figure like a phantom of the void quietly emerged from the void. It was none other than Xu, one of the top ten on the heavenly pride list.

He silently watched the direction Xiao Ruobai's group had gone, a silent, cold sneer curling at the corners of his mouth.

“Sixteen dao seeds. Perfect, it saves me the trouble of searching for them.”

He murmured softly, his entire aura completely merging into the void. Like an invisible shadow, he followed them noiselessly, patiently waiting for the best moment to harvest.

Inside the dark forest, the wind howled and branches swayed wildly.

Xiao Ruobai suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop. He stood in place, eyes slightly closed, as a faint golden light flickered at his brow.

“Something's not right.”

Fang Hanyu instantly gripped his sword. “An ambush?”

“Not pursuers.” Xiao Ruobai opened his eyes and looked calmly toward the deathly silent shadows on the left.

“It’s another friend who has been following us for a long time.”

As his voice fell, the air in the entire forest suddenly turned cold. The void distorted like ripples on water, and a blurred figure slowly emerged.

Xu did not hide his tracks; he just stood there quietly, like a shadow stepping out of the darkness.

He looked at Xiao Ruobai's group of six, a faint and cold smile playing on his lips.

“Battle Asura, Sword White Robe...”

Xu's voice was as light as the wind, yet it carried a bone-chilling coldness. “Hand over all the dao seeds on your person, and I can give you a quick death.”

Dong Li sneered. “Is this all the ambition a top ten Prodigy has? Following and ambushing—do you have no shame?”

“Shame?” Xu chuckled softly, completely indifferent. “In the face of dao seeds and the imperial dao true seed, face is worth nothing.”

His gaze swept over the six, finally landing on Xiao Ruobai, his tone indifferent:

“You are very strong. Working together, you can insta-kill an Immortal King, but you are facing me.”

“The top ten rankings aren't just for show.”

In the next moment, Xu's figure completely vanished.

It wasn't teleportation or concealment, but a complete merging into the void. Not a trace of aura, a wisp of Divine Thought, or a hint of fluctuation remained, as if he had never existed.

The Chaos Sword Qi around Fang Hanyu surged as his Divine Sense spread out, searching the surrounding void inch by inch.

Yet he couldn't detect even the slightest abnormality. His brows furrowed tightly. “What a strange Void Technique; I can't find a trace of him at all.”

Ling Xi's devouring power quietly spread out, attempting to sense energy fluctuations within the void, but she only felt a deathly silence:

“His aura is completely fused with the void. Unless he takes the initiative to strike, we simply cannot lock onto him.”

Xiao Ruobai raised his hand, signaling the others to back away. His expression remained calm, and the faint golden light at his brow grew more intense as his War God Divine Sense operated at full power.

He no longer obsessed over finding Xu's tracks. Instead, he enveloped the void within several yards around him, capturing every minute tremor of space.

“You all step back. I’ll handle him.”

Xiao Ruobai's voice was steady and powerful, without a hint of panic. He slowly gripped his halberd as faint golden War God Blood-Qi quietly swirled around him.

It did not erupt completely but instead condensed around his body, forming an invisible barrier.

Although the others were worried, they also knew Xiao Ruobai's capabilities. They slowly retreated dozens of steps, on high alert and ready to respond to any sudden situation.

A moment later, a miniscule ripple suddenly appeared in the void to Xiao Ruobai's left. It was extremely fast, almost impossible to catch. Xu had finally made his move!

An invisible Void Blade silently slashed out from the ripple, heading straight for the back of Xiao Ruobai's heart. It was incredibly fast—unavoidable!

“Watch out!” Dong Li cried out in the distance, wanting to help, but it was already too late.

Just as the Void Blade was about to pierce the back of Xiao Ruobai's heart, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He didn't dodge at all.

Instead, he spun around abruptly. His halberd, carrying a faint golden light, seemed slow but accurately parried in front of him!

“Clang—!!!”

A crisp sound of impact suddenly rang out as the invisible Void Blade struck the golden halberd, instantly erupting into a piercing screech.
