177: Shall we begin the war between immortals?

Above Hun Kun Academy, the atmosphere was heavy.

Immortal light and Emperor's might intertwined as dozens of True Immortals and Great Emperors from the Three Thousand Heavenly Realms stared intently at that patch of the Void Realm.

There, remnants of an ancient aura lingered.

Not long ago, the Kunpeng Nest had manifested a vision; the image of that one of the ten ancient fierce beasts fighting an Immortal King was deeply etched into the depths of everyone's Divine Soul.

An Immortal King-level Legacy!

These words turned into a demonic fire, igniting the greed in everyone's hearts.

"Hun Kun Academy has shallow roots; its virtue does not match its position."

A cold voice broke the silence.

A young True Immortal wearing a snow-white immortal robe and possessing an otherworldly temperament stepped out from the crowd.

He came from an ancient Immortal Clan with a Quasi-Immortal King backing them, and he had always been arrogant.

"How can such an Immortal King secret treasure be something you people can touch?"

He scanned several Supreme Elders of Hun Kun Academy, making no effort to hide his contempt and coercion.

"Hand over the method to open the Secret Realm immediately, and perhaps a calamity of extermination can be avoided."

"Presumptuous!"

A hot-tempered Quasi-Emperor Elder of Hun Kun Academy stared with wide, angry eyes, his hair and beard bristling.

"My Hun Kun Academy's Legacy has lasted for ages; how can we allow a brat like you to clamor here!"

"Hehe, just a slightly larger ant."

The white-clad True Immortal sneered, his eyes full of ridicule.

He was about to release his Immortal Dao pressure to suppress this old fool who didn't know death was near.

Suddenly—

A loud bang shook the entire area!

An ancient, vast, and terrifying aura from the beginning of the epoch swept through the field without warning!

This aura surpassed that of a True Immortal and even touched the threshold of the Immortal King Domain!

*Thud!*

*Thud!*

Those dozens of overbearing Great Emperor experts couldn't even stand steadily before this pressure; they all knelt on the ground, their Divine Souls trembling!

Those True Immortal experts also turned pale, the Immortal Qi in their bodies stagnating as they looked toward the deepest part of Hun Kun Academy in horror.

"Peak True Immortal!"

"An existence just one step away from being crowned a King!"

"Hun Kun Academy... actually hides such an old monster?!"

The few True Immortals who had been clamoring for extermination felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads, their backs soaked in cold sweat.

They felt lucky.

Lucky that they hadn't actually made a move; otherwise, today would have been their day of death!

The white-clad True Immortal was even more struck, standing frozen on the spot.

That terrifying aura was like an invisible giant hand, tightly clutching his throat and completely suppressing all the Immortal Dao Laws he was so proud of!

The immortal power in his body stagnated completely, and his handsome face turned the color of pig liver, veins bulging, looking hideous.

Within the endless Void Realm, in a corner that no one could perceive.

Su Xuanchen's figure was faintly visible.

「Oh? Finally willing to come out?」

He curled his lips, not surprised by this.

He had long sensed that a profound existence was hidden within Hun Kun Academy.

His gaze pierced through layers of the Void Realm and landed on the camp of the Immortal Palace.

There, a familiar yet strange figure caught his attention.

Su Yaoyao.

「This girl actually disguised herself so perfectly that even I almost didn't recognize her.」

Su Xuanchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He could clearly perceive a few faint strands of aura connecting the Immortal Palace and the Dark Great Realm.

「Immortal Palace... Dark Great Realm... Kunpeng's fall...」

Su Xuanchen narrowed his eyes, having already linked these three together.

「Interesting.」

「It seems there's a good show to watch.」

He decided to wait and see.

Below.

The silence all around was broken by a crisp, pleasant, yet somewhat innocent voice.

"Su Qingying, look at that person's face!"

Su Qingying tugged at Su Changge's sleeve, pointing at the white-clad True Immortal nearby whose face had turned the color of pig liver, and asked curiously.

"It looks like a monkey's butt!"

"Pfft—!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present almost spat out blood collectively.

A monkey's... butt?

This analogy was brilliant!

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of unrestrained laughter erupted from the Gu Family and Ye Family camps.

The Peak True Immortals of those two families laughed so hard they doubled over, tears almost coming out.

"Hahaha! Well said!"

The Peak True Immortal of the Ye Family gave Su Qingying a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration.

"Little girl, you have a future!"

"This old man likes you!"

The more he looked at this straightforwardly cute little girl, the more he liked her.

Hearing this, the white-clad True Immortal was both ashamed and furious, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes, which could freeze a Divine Soul, stared intently at Su Qingying, dripping with killing intent.

"You're looking for death!"

He was about to strike regardless of the consequences.

"Boom!"

Another equally terrifying Peak True Immortal aura erupted from behind him!

An old man, also wearing a white robe but with a much older face, appeared out of thin air and blocked the white-clad True Immortal.

He coldly scanned the Ye Family True Immortal, his voice devoid of emotion.

"Ye Qingcang, do you want to start an Immortal War with my Bai Family?!"

Immortal War!

As soon as these two words were spoken, the atmosphere in the field turned cold!

That was no minor squabble, but a fight to the death between races!

"If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

The Ye Family True Immortal didn't yield an inch, meeting him head-on.

"Who has my Ye Family ever feared?!"

Behind him, the experts of the Ye Family all stepped forward, swords drawn and bows bent!

The auras of three Peak True Immortals collided in the air, tearing the Void Realm and causing the Great Dao to wail.

A terrifying war capable of sweeping through several Heavens was on the verge of breaking out!

Seeing the battle was about to erupt.

"Su Qingying, don't talk nonsense!"

Su Changge was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, grabbing and covering her younger Su Qingying's still-babbling little mouth and dragging her behind her.

The ancient voice from Hun Kun Academy also rang out at the right time.

"Alright, everyone say less."

"Today is the grand event of the Kunpeng Legacy's opening; do not hurt the harmony because of a junior's joke."

Though the voice was soft, it held an irresistible authority.

The old True Immortal of the Bai Family's expression flickered.

He naturally didn't want to actually start an Immortal War; he just wanted to use it to regain some face.

But now, with this old monster from Hun Kun Academy personally intervening to mediate, if he continued to be relentless, he would be making an enemy of the entire Hun Kun Academy.

"Humph!"

He let out a cold snort and flicked his sleeves, turning away.

The two True Immortals from the Ye Family and Gu Family looked at each other, both showing knowing smiles.

They hadn't intended to actually go to war in the first place.

They were just taking the opportunity to beat down the Bai Family a bit and, by the way... do the Su Family a favor.

The confrontation between top powers sparked by a child's joke thus temporarily subsided.

But everyone knew.

This was only the beginning.

The true storm had yet to arrive.
