303: Fight for Qingming's life

As expected, catering to preferences is truly the best method.

I refuse to believe you can still resist.

Indeed, facing a mountain piled high with spiritual stones, precious medicines, and spiritual items, the severed hand might remain unmoved. Even two mountains might only stir its interest.

But what about three mountains?

Lu Chen calmly raised his hand again, moving another mountain of spiritual stones and precious medicines to land beside the severed hand.

The three large mountains perfectly surrounded the severed hand.

"Senior, do you recognize these items?" Lu Chen knew the matter was mostly settled, so he continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize all of them. This Junior is not in a hurry. Senior can take his time to identify them."

With that, he turned and quietly retreated.

Not long after Lu Chen left, the severed hand that had remained unresponsive moved its fingers again.

It moved!

It moved again!

Finally, after the fourth movement, the severed hand slowly floated up, pressed down with its palm, and the mountains of spiritual stones, precious medicines, and spiritual items instantly transformed into surging spiritual energy. With a gentle sweep of the severed hand, it all condensed and flowed into the hand.

With his Yang God returning to his Purple Mansion, Lu Chen fell into contemplation: "It ate my things and is still living in my Immortal Coffin, yet it still hasn't given me a response?"

Is this Female Immortal's severed hand really this shameless?

At least say something!

…………

Northern Frontier, deep underground.

"I knew there was a reason I couldn't see through you, Old Man!" A white-robed Old Man with white eyebrows and white hair looked displeased as he stared intently at Chen Tianshu: "When did you enter the Ascension Realm?"

This Old Man was none other than the one who suddenly appeared by the Jiyuan Sea, intending to take Lu Chen and Feng Jie as disciples. He was also a Great Power from the Da Yan Holy Land, Feng Jie's Master.

At this moment, Feng Jie and Solitary Pride were following at his side, but they were left to the side, meditating and cultivating on their own.

Chen Tianshu sneered, "Your eyesight is truly poor, Old Man. This Old Man merely used an item of the Ascension Realm. When did I enter the Ascension Realm?"

Not admitting it?

That's right. This Old Man has always liked to hide things, but things have reached this point. Who doesn't know that there is an Ascended Being above the Azure Underworld?

He's not blind!

"Since you've already entered the Ascension Realm, why didn't you act sooner?" The Old Man was angry, "If you had acted earlier and suppressed that Demon Immortal, how could that Demon Immortal have recovered to such an uncontrollable state!"

Chen Tianshu emphasized again, "This Old Man has already said, I have not entered the Ascension Realm."

He paused and added, "You might have come for the Fallen Immortal, but this Old Man did not. Furthermore, didn't you, Old Scoundrel, also not act at the very beginning? Now you're blaming this Old Man?"

Chen Tianshu was actually also annoyed. Initially, those Great Experts and Great Power whose lifespan was nearing its end chased the Demon Immortal into hiding. Who would have thought that this Demon Immortal was so formidable, instantly turning the tables and chasing the Human Race's Great Experts and Great Power whose lifespan was nearing its end to the point where they dared not show their faces.

The main reason was that this Demon Immortal had already made preparations beforehand. Thinking about it now, the entire Demon Clan of the Jiyuan Sea were its preparations, including the Secret Realm where it was sleeping.

This allowed the Demon Immortal to get a large replenishment as soon as it was born. Almost the entire Demon Clan of the Jiyuan Sea became its nourishment for recovery, and even the Human Race cultivators who entered the Secret Realm were no exception.

Afterward, this Demon Immortal broke the Seal of the Ancient Demon Realm with lightning speed, and its wings immediately became full. By the time the Ancient Demon Clan contacted the Starry Sky Ancient Demon, it had already formed a force.

Chen Tianshu didn't want to get involved in killing the Demon Immortal earlier because he didn't want to cause trouble.

However, who would have thought that this Demon Immortal would be so bloodthirsty, intending to use the entire Qingming Human Clan as a great medicine, to the point that even he, an Ascended Being, had to be drawn into it.

And this Old Man from the Da Yan Holy Land, 'Fu Hongchen'. This Old Man also didn't get involved earlier, probably because he didn't want to provoke the big trouble that was the Demon Immortal. Now that things are out of control, he's throwing this black pot at him.

However, thinking about it now, it was indeed their fault.

If they had joined forces with the Human Race's Great Experts and Great Power whose lifespan was nearing its end earlier, this Demon Immortal might not have had the chance to form a force.

Even if they couldn't kill the immortal, there was a possibility of driving it out of the Azure Underworld.

But it's too late to say these things now. He didn't hesitate to reveal his full strength in the previous battle against that Demon Immortal, and the result was that he was nearly defeated.

Yes, in the previous battle, Chen Tianshu did not lose. Instead, he severely injured the Demon Immortal, which is why the Demon Immortal swallowed tens of billions of Human Race from a country as a great medicine after Chen Tianshu retreated. It was healing its injuries.

But in the end, Chen Tianshu still had to retreat because that method, which was enough to defeat a Fallen Immortal, had already left him in a state of weakness after just one use. If he continued to fight, he wouldn't be able to kill the immortal, and he would instead perish.

"How can you, Old Man, say such things?" Fu Hongchen was angry.

What level is he at? Can he kill an immortal?

At most, he is just a Tongtian Realm Great Power. He is nothing like Chen Tianshu, this Old Man who quietly stepped into the Ascension Realm.

There are so many Human Race Great Power whose lifespan is nearing its end. They surrounded and attacked the Demon Immortal like this and still didn't succeed. What difference would one more of him make?

"There's still a chance." Chen Tianshu was in the wrong and waved his hand to interrupt Fu Hongchen's argument, "This Old Man previously severely injured that Demon Immortal with an item of the Ascension Realm. It should not act again in a short time. During this period, if we can break the formation with another formation, the sealing of the Azure Underworld should be broken."

Fu Hongchen gritted his teeth, "Then let's do it again."

He shouldn't have come to the Azure Underworld and gotten involved in this mess. His lifespan was not nearing its end, and he didn't need to look for an opportunity for longevity from the Demon Immortal, but he still came to the Azure Underworld to join in the fun.

However, if things go badly, he is likely to suffer a great loss.

He can definitely save his life. As a Great Power in a Void Immortal Sect, he also has means to save his life at critical moments, but the cost is too great, so he wouldn't easily use them.

Not to mention him, Old Man Chen Tianshu must be the same. With Chen Tianshu's Tongtian strength in the Ascension Realm, his position in the Dongxu Immortal Mansion is unimaginably high. It's impossible for him not to have a way to leave the Azure Underworld.

However, at this moment, they are not acting for themselves, but for all the cultivators in the Azure Underworld, to fight for a way out!

As Human Race Great Power, they cannot watch helplessly as the entire Azure Underworld's population of over one hundred million Human Race are all swallowed alive by the Demon Immortal as a great medicine. If they were to leave now, their Dao Hearts would likely suffer great problems in the future, making it difficult to make any further progress.

"Do our best, and leave the rest to fate!" Chen Tianshu sighed silently.

For the sake of this Azure Underworld, he has already revealed his Ascension Realm cultivation, and has also spent countless treasures to set up formations. Furthermore, he may even have to fight a life-and-death battle with that Demon Immortal next. If it really doesn't work in the end, he can only retreat.

The Holy Son cannot have any accidents, and neither can Jiang Daoqing, nor Lu Chen.

To put it bluntly, in a top Human Race Void Immortal Sect like the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, the Holy Son's status is unimaginably high. Not to mention this single Azure Underworld, the lives of all living beings on ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand life-bearing stars are not as important as the Holy Son's single Breakthrough, let alone compared to the Holy Son's life!
