403: The Great Battle in the Northern Central Region

"It seems we need to be a bit more careful from now on."

Su Yun flickered closer to the extreme flame fruit tree, and the surrounding Ancient Restriction was activated once more, releasing a deep red spiritual light that transformed into a sea of fire again.

With a wave of his hand, a dazzling white spiritual light was released, instantly clearing the surrounding flames before striking the spiritual runes on the ground.

Crack~

The complex spiritual runes on the ground suddenly let out a soft sound and then vanished into specks of spiritual light.

The surrounding violent flames also came to an abrupt halt, dissipating instantly.

"Done, we can go pick the extreme flame fruits now!"

Su Yun and the others went straight over to harvest the extreme flame fruits.

A moment later, all the extreme flame fruits on the extreme flame fruit tree had been harvested.

At this moment, Su Yun looked at Xie Yulan and said in a gentle tone:

"Senior Sister Yulan, I'll leave it to you then."

"Alright, Junior Brother Yun, leave it to me!"

Xie Yulan said confidently.

Then, she flickered to the foot of the extreme flame fruit tree, reaching out her slender hand to release a jade-green spiritual light that enveloped the entire tree.

Soon, she plucked a branch of the extreme flame fruit tree that was constantly emitting faint flames.

Su Yun could clearly feel the powerful vitality contained within this branch.

"There, Junior Brother Yun, you can grow an extreme flame fruit tree from this branch."

"Senior Sister Yulan, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, this is very simple for me!"

Xie Yulan smiled faintly.

At the same time, she also glanced at Leng Xirou, who was standing on Su Yun's other side.

See!

I'm the one who can actually help!

Leng Xirou smiled without saying a word.

She didn't mind Xie Yulan's gaze.

After taking the extreme flame fruit branch from Xie Yulan, Su Yun directly placed it into the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl.

Immediately, with a thought, he had Huan Xin notify the White Fox Clan that they could begin planting the spirit fruit tree.

"Let's go, let's continue to check out the other spirit fruit trees!"

"Alright."

"Mm-hmm!"

Having harvested so many extreme flame fruits, Su Yun and the others were full of energy. They quickly found other spirit fruit trees and began picking various spirit fruits and collecting various spirit fruit branches... Meanwhile, on the other side.

The northern part of the Central Domain.

A figure emitting a faint eerie light suddenly appeared in the sky; it was a kind-looking Old Man in Black Robes.

At this moment, the Old Man in Black Robes had a grim expression as he looked around.

"Damn it, where did they go?"

"How did they disappear all of a sudden?"

"There are actually Cultivators at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm in the Haomiao Realm?"

"Weren't they all supposed to have been dealt with?"

This Old Man in Black Robes was the Jiyuan Palace Immortal Envoy who had come from the Immortal Realm to the Haomiao Realm to carry out a mission.

Not long ago, while executing his plan, he unexpectedly encountered a Cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm.

One must know that starting thousands of years ago, after sealing off the Haomiao Realm, their Jiyuan Palace had sent people many times to exterminate Cultivators at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm in the Haomiao Realm.

Logically, they had also sent people to inspect the Haomiao Realm two hundred years ago.

At that time, through an Immortal Artifact, they hadn't found any Cultivators at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm; the highest was only at the Mahayana Fifth Layer Realm.

But now, after only two hundred years, how could a Cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm appear again?

Except for five hundred years ago, when they unexpectedly discovered an ancient teleportation array connecting to the Spirit Void Realm and sent people to block it.

Since then, no other passages capable of entering the Haomiao Realm had been found.

Then where did this Cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm come from?

It couldn't possibly be a Breakthrough from those low-to-mid-stage Mahayana Realm Cultivators in the Haomiao Realm!

One must remember that this is the Cultivation World, not the Immortal Realm.

After a Cultivator breaks through to the Mahayana Realm, being able to break through one stage in thousands of years is considered impressive.

Let alone breaking through directly to the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm in just two hundred years.

"Stop hiding, you can't escape!"

"Surrender peacefully!"

The Old Man in Black Robes said in a deep voice.

He felt a bit creeped out.

Logically, with his strength at the Immortal Realm, although it was insignificant in the Immortal Realm, it should be overwhelming in the Cultivation World.

Yet he had still lost track of a mere Cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm!

What on earth was going on?

"Who said I ran away?"

"What has been happening in the Haomiao Realm lately is related to you, isn't it?"

"Are you perhaps the Immortal sent by that Immortal Realm power that sealed off the Haomiao Realm?"

A white figure enveloped in a dense spiritual light suddenly appeared, looking at the Old Man in Black Robes and speaking calmly.

Hearing this, the Old Man in Black Robes' expression grew serious; he found that he actually couldn't see through the true appearance of this figure.

This person was only at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm and had not yet achieved Immortal Ascension; normally, it should be impossible to block the prying of his Immortal Sense. Why couldn't he see through this person's identity at all now?

Unless this person possessed a very high Rank Immortal Artifact.

That's why they could hide their identity and prevent him from discovering it.

As for whether it could be an Immortal?

That possibility wasn't very high.

If it were an Immortal, would they need to run away?

They would definitely strike at him directly.

"It's just as well that you didn't run. Die!"

"Even if you have a powerful Immortal Artifact, so what?"

"How much of an Immortal Artifact's power can someone at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm actually unleash?"

The Old Man in Black Robes said in a gloomy tone.

He didn't hesitate for a moment and prepared to strike immediately.

After all, this person's existence would undoubtedly ruin the arrangements Jiyuan Palace had made over thousands of years.

Therefore, he had to deal with this person right here.

Moreover, his arrangements in the Haomiao Realm were almost complete, and the mission the Palace Master gave him was basically finished. Unleashing Immortal Realm strength for a short time shouldn't wake the Haomiao Realm's Heavenly Dao.

Thinking of this, the Old Man in Black Robes gave a large wave of his hand.

Instantly, the sky and earth changed color as a grey Immortal light filled with Law and immortal power suddenly bloomed. Everything around seemed to be affected by the aura emitted by this grey Immortal light; the nearby space shattered instantly, and an area spanning hundreds of miles was directly erased.

Whether it was mountains and lakes, or forests and the earth, everything was directly obliterated by the grey Immortal light.

In an instant, that grey Immortal light charged toward the white figure with an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth.

"So strong, as expected of an Immortal!"

The white figure enveloped in dense spiritual light was none other than Meng Shuyan.

She held an Immortal sword that emitted a white Immortal light.

At this moment, she was not in good condition. Her entire body was suppressed by the aura emitted by the grey Immortal light and the powerful surrounding pressure, affecting the circulation of her spiritual power.

If she weren't holding an Immortal Artifact, she probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it long ago.

"It seems I can only use this!"

Meng Shuyan looked at the somewhat dimmed Immortal sword.

This was her ancestral Immortal Artifact, the tianxuan sword.

Within the tianxuan sword, there were Spells with the power of the Immortal Realm.

However, because it had been used a few times before, the immortal power contained within the tianxuan sword was now low, and it could only be used two or three more times at most.

But now, she had no choice but to use it.

After all, that Old Man in Black Robes opposite her was an Immortal.

With that thought, Meng Shuyan no longer hesitated and gripped the tianxuan sword with her fair hand.

The sound of a sword's hum echoed through the heavens and earth.

The tianxuan sword suddenly burst forth with a dazzling Law Immortal light.
