282: Chapter 282 Nine Netherworld Locking Formation

Mid-stage True Immortal's face was brimming with barely suppressed ecstasy; he reached out, ready to take the heavenly frost ice soul flower that was within arm's reach.

A single heavenly frost ice soul flower had previously sold for an astronomical price.

If they sold this one too, they wouldn't have to worry about the resources needed for the five of them to Cultivate to the Profound Immortal Realm!

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the icy blue petals, a calm voice suddenly rang out:

“Who told you to touch my things?”

Mid-stage True Immortal's outstretched hand froze abruptly in mid-air. He paused, turning his head in disbelief to look at the source of the voice.

It was Su Mo!

A flicker of astonishment crossed his eyes, immediately replaced by intense mockery and fury.

Had this kid been scared senseless?

Or had he gone crazy before death?

Could he still not see the situation clearly?

How dare he claim this heavenly frost ice soul flower was his?

“Facing death, yet still daring to speak wildly!”

Mid-stage True Immortal couldn't be bothered arguing with a dead man walking. He snorted coldly and turned back around.

Above the cold pond, the Profound Immortal elder was also impatient. His withered palm grabbed towards Su Mo in the Void Realm.

An irresistible force instantly acted upon Su Mo, forcibly dragging him toward the cold pond.

“Kid, come here! Become a part of this seat!”

The elder's voice was hoarse.

A cold light flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and he let out a cold snort:

“Old bastard, are you taking advantage of my kindness?”

After speaking, his mind stirred.

The next moment, hundreds of Early Stage True Immortal Cultivators appeared out of thin air around Su Mo.

“What?!”

“This is impossible!!”

Late-stage True Immortal, Qing He, Zhao Long, and Zhao Hu simultaneously cried out in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Mid-stage True Immortal, who had just grabbed the heavenly frost ice soul flower, heard the sound and whipped his head around.

When he saw the hundred True Immortals appearing out of thin air, the ecstasy on his face instantly solidified.

“How is this possible?!?”

“This place has been completely sealed by Senior’s Nine Netherworld Space Locking Grand Formation! Spatial shifts, boundary-breaking Talismans, and even the spatial fluctuations of storage Magic Treasures should all be completely isolated! How could you possibly summon so many people?!”

Even the most Advanced Spirit Beast Pouch or Grotto Heaven Magic Treasure should absolutely not be able to open under the seal of the Nine Netherworld Space Locking Grand Formation.

This completely defied common sense!

Even the usually utterly indifferent Profound Immortal elder showed noticeable fluctuations in his icy blue eyes for the first time, letting out a soft exclamation.

As the layer and controller of the Nine Netherworld Space Locking Grand Formation, he clearly perceived that the Formation itself was intact, neither forcibly broken open nor exhibiting any flaws.

Space was still firmly sealed, isolating inside from outside.

But how did these hundred True Immortal Cultivators appear before him?

They were not illusions; every single one possessed actual Early Stage True Immortal cultivation and solidified immortal essence fluctuations.

This meant that this kid, who was only in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, had used some method he completely failed to understand, forcibly bypassing the Formation’s spatial sealing rules to summon these Cultivators.

Memories flashed quickly through his mind. He had seen Prodigies who had refined more top-grade origin fruits than this kid, and whose Foundation was even more monstrous.

He had also witnessed many secret Divine Abilities from major powers, but he had never heard of any method that could ignore spatial sealing under the blockade of a Profound Immortal Rank Grand Formation.

“What... what is the Origin of this child?”

Intense curiosity arose in the elder's heart for the first time.

The idea of immediately refining him and devouring his Origin to heal his injuries was temporarily suppressed.

He wanted to figure out exactly what method Su Mo had used.

However, Su Mo completely disregarded the elder's curiosity and couldn't be bothered with nonsense.

With a thought.

Boom!

The true immortal incarnation closest to him, without any warning, instantly ignited its immortal essence, essence blood, and Divine Soul, detonating with a roar.

A violent energy shockwave rapidly spread out, centered on that Incarnation.

It not only instantly shattered the invisible suction force acting on Su Mo but also shook Mid-stage True Immortal and the other four people nearby, causing their blood and Qi to churn, forcing them to retreat repeatedly, their protective Immortal light flickering violently.

The remaining true immortal incarnations moved under Su Mo's control!

Their target was clear: they rushed directly toward the heavenly frost ice soul flowers around the cold pond.

At the same time, Su Mo's main body remained completely still amidst the self-detonation shockwave.

His gaze was cold. He took a step forward, and the minor injuries caused by the self-detonation instantly recovered, leaving not even a tear on his robes.

He walked straight toward Mid-stage True Immortal, who had just stabilized his figure and whose face was still filled with shock.

Mid-stage True Immortal had just barely managed to block the aftermath of the self-detonation. Before he could catch his breath, he saw Su Mo walking toward him, seemingly completely unharmed.

“You... just who exactly are you?!?”

While questioning, he secretly transmitted a message to Late-stage True Immortal, Qing He, Zhao Long, and Zhao Hu, his voice urgent:

“Everyone, this child has too many tricks. The five of us must join forces and suppress him quickly!”

A fierce light flashed in Late-stage True Immortal's eyes, and he nodded silently.

The green silk ribbon in Qing He's hand moved without wind.

The True Qi of the brothers Zhao Long and Zhao Hu subtly resonated.

They had anticipated Su Mo's struggle, but they never expected him to Break through the Formation's seal and summon so many people.

Five attacks launched simultaneously, sealing off all of Su Mo's evasion space.

Having cooperated for many years, their coordination was flawless.

Facing this siege, which would be difficult for even ordinary Peak True Immortal Cultivators to resist, Su Mo's footsteps did not halt.

Just as the five attacks were about to strike his body—

A cold arc curved on Su Mo's lips.

Boom! Boom! Boom... Five violent explosions, almost simultaneous, erupted abruptly around Su Mo.

Five Early Stage true immortal incarnations, at the exact same moment and extremely close range, specifically met the five people's attacks, choosing the most effective interception method!

“No!!”

“Madman!!”

The sharp cries and furious roars were drowned out by the deafening explosions.

Although they defended themselves in time, they were still violently thrown back by the rampant energy.

Their internal blood and Qi churned, their immortal essence shook, and their internal organs were injured, causing them all to spit out fresh blood.

They barely managed to stabilize themselves and quickly circulated their Cultivation Technique to calm the surging blood and Qi and the chaotic immortal essence within their bodies.

Mid-stage True Immortal snorted coldly, worried in his heart.

Such close-range self-detonation by a True Immortal Realm Cultivator was something a Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivator simply couldn't withstand.

If Su Mo died, they wouldn't get their reward.

But when he looked up.

He saw Su Mo still standing in place, without even the slightest injury on his body.

How could this be?!

They might not have seen it clearly enough, but the Profound Immortal elder, who was constantly hovering above the cold pond and whose Divine Sense enveloped the entire area, saw everything that had just happened with perfect clarity.

At the moment of the self-detonation, Su Mo's body did indeed suffer damage from the energy impact—his skin tore, bones were visible, and even his internal organs were shaken.

But the moment after the injury appeared, it recovered without a trace.

There were no immortal essence fluctuations, as if this ability was simply innate to him.

The elder's icy blue eyes suddenly narrowed.

Dao Body!
