403: Ancient divine body!

At this moment, Bu Ning and Gu Ze's expressions clearly trembled upon hearing Immortal King Qi Xi's stance.

Why?

Why would Immortal King Qi Xi be so stubbornly determined to protect Chu Yun?

Bu Ning knew Chu Yun's identity; he was merely a person from Thatched Cottage in the Yuan Realm. While he might have immense backing in the Yuan Realm, he had no arrangements or connections whatsoever in this Star Sea Universe.

How exactly was Immortal King Qi Xi of the Zi Le Realm bewitched by Chu Yun?

"Are you sure?"

"Do you truly intend to protect him to the death?" Immortal King Yue Qing asked again.

Immortal King Qi Xi's attitude remained unchanged, still resolute: "Fairy, there's no need to doubt. To harm a single hair on his head, you must first deal with me."

"I can also remind Fairy that my father is right outside the entrance of the City of Death, and he will arrive very soon."

"Does Fairy perhaps believe she has the ability to kill him under the protection of us, father and son?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal King Yue Qing's expression also showed a slight change.

This matter far exceeded her previous imagination.

Not only was Immortal King Qi Xi fiercely protecting Chu Yun, but now even Immortal King Qi Xi's father had arrived.

As soon as Bu Ning and Gu Ze heard that Purple Joy Immortal King had also come to the City of Death, their faces immediately showed panic.

That was a true Immortal King Zenith, and he had once been in the Jue Dian Four Realms. Such a giant among Immortal Kings, even Netherworld King would have to avoid him.

"Since that's the case, then I shall give up."

"Let's go."

Immortal King Yue Qing also understood that she was incapable of achieving her goal, and immediately chose to take Bu Ning and the others away from here.

Chu Yun watched her departing back. He had been silent all this time, but now a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Junior Brother, what are you smiling at?" Mu Qianli asked curiously upon seeing this.

"Nothing."

"Senior Sister, let's hurry over to A Niu's side," Chu Yun then said.

"Alright, let's go."

Immortal King Qi Xi took the two of them and immediately rushed over.

Immortal King Yue Qing and Bu Ning flew towards the exit of the City of Death.

On the way, Bu Ning couldn't help but ask with a worried expression, "Immortal King, are we just going back like this?"

"I promised Revered Master that I would definitely bring Chu Yun back, but now..."

Bu Ning looked as if he wanted to speak but hesitated. Immortal King Yue Qing turned back and looked at him indifferently: "Purple Joy Immortal King has arrived. With his personality, if you foolishly clash with him, you might not even know how you died."

"I will explain this matter to Potian Immortal King when I return; it won't be your fault."

Upon hearing this, Bu Ning also felt relieved: "Since that is the case, then many thanks to Immortal King."

......

Rumble!!!

"Pfft..."

City of Death battlefield.

In the area where the Bloodclad Old Man and Netherworld King were located, buildings within a nearly thousand-mile radius had all collapsed, and some creatures didn't even know how they died.

The unconscious A Niu was enveloped by a blood Qi, floating in the shattered Void Realm.

The Bloodclad Old Man could only protect him; otherwise, if A Niu died, he would undoubtedly perish.

However, being distracted and facing Netherworld King's fierce and powerful Divine Ability attacks, he had no chance to retaliate. Furthermore, his injuries hadn't healed, and his strength hadn't fully recovered.

As a result, he only lasted for a short while before suffering a complete defeat.

His Immortal Power was completely depleted, and his Immortal Dao Origin was forcibly suppressed by Netherworld King's power, stopping the derivation of Immortal Power and preventing it from operating autonomously.

At this moment, the Bloodclad Old Man was covered in blood, his face pale, as he lay on the shattered Void Realm, without even the strength to get up.

Just then, Netherworld King, dressed in black, walked over with a nonchalant expression. With a raised hand, Netherlight grabbed the Bloodclad Old Man, like a large Nether Qi hand, lifting him up and placing him before Netherworld King.

"You first destroyed my Netherworld King Cult, and then I destroyed your Blood Emperor Cult. This cycle of Karma and Reincarnation is very reasonable."

"Alright, you're also quite old now; rest in peace on your journey."

Netherworld King spoke coldly. Behind him, a phantom of a Nether Image appeared, and a fist covered in Netherlight struck out from within the Nether Image, fiercely landing on Blood Emperor.

Bang!!!

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in simple plain clothes suddenly appeared in front of Blood Emperor, taking Netherworld King's blow with his Physical Body.

Rumble!!!

The Netherlight landed on the middle-aged man's body, and his body instantly shattered into a mist of blood.

Yet, in an instant, it rapidly re-condensed into a brand new Physical Body in the form of countless particle structures, without any injuries.

"Hmm?"

"The legendary Ancient God Physique, Minor Achievement in Physical Body?"

"Interesting."

Netherworld King raised his eyes at this moment, his gaze fixed on the middle-aged man, showing considerable interest in him.

He had already discovered that the middle-aged man's cultivation was not high.

He was merely at the Late Stage of the Immortal King Realm.

However, his Physique was extremely Prodigy, being the legendary Ancient God Physique.

There were rumors that if this Physique was Cultivated to Major Achievement, one could push through the Star Realm with their Physical Body!

Many epochs ago, there was an Immortal King Zenith who, relying on the Major Achievement Ancient God Physique, rivaled the Physical Body of a Dominator, becoming almost invincible for half an era!

And Netherworld King saw that although the man in front of him was only at the Minor Achievement of the Ancient God Physique, he was still incredibly terrifying.

Despite being two minor Realms lower, he managed to take his attack with his Physical Body without much harm.

If it were other Late Stage Immortal Kings, taking this blow head-on would have already caused them to be injured and lose Origin Qi.

"Netherworld King Senior is indeed a giant from the Nine Ancestors Era."

"Such power, in those days, was enough to be called invincible beneath the Nine Ancestors."

The middle-aged man smiled, patted the dust off his plain clothes, and said calmly.

"Oh?"

"You are from the Yuan Realm?" Netherworld King said with slight surprise.

The middle-aged man smiled, then grabbed the unconscious A Niu and brought him over. He took out a Medicinal Pill from his waist, refined its medicinal power, and infused it into A Niu's body.

Netherworld King did not stop him. For him, things were still under his control.

Although the suddenly appearing Ancient God Physique had a strong Physical Body, as a giant at the Immortal King Zenith level, he was not without a way to deal with him.

A Niu's injuries, under the influence of the Medicinal Pill, healed visibly. His unconscious Soul also slowly awakened at this moment, and his eyes gradually opened.

The first thing he saw after opening his eyes was the plain-clothed man.

A Niu's expression instantly became excited and emotional: "G-First Master?!"

"That's great!!!"

"It's First Master! We're saved!!!"

A Niu was so moved he almost cried. With First Master here, he no longer had to worry.

"It's good that you're awake."

First Master saw that A Niu was awake and could speak and shout, so he stopped worrying about him.

"Thatched Cottage First Master... So it's you."

"Did your teacher, the Revered Master of Thatched Cottage, also come along?" Netherworld King spoke at this moment.
