337: Chapter 337 You won't live either!

His leisure formed a cruel contrast with the terror and suffering of the people from the Inverse Immortal Alliance in the center of the battlefield.

Li Juexin and his wife's expressions had turned extremely grim. They had joined forces to withstand seven self-detonation attacks of this scale. Even with their deep foundations, they felt a severe consumption of their immortal power and Divine Souls, and their dao foundations were faintly shaking.

As for the twelve Elders' side, their hearts were scattered and their morale had collapsed.

"Alliance Leader! Madam! This... this person simply cannot be killed! What kind of evil technique is this?!" Immortal Master Chi Xiao's aura was in disarray, and his voice trembled.

"We are fighting an undying monster!" another Elder hissed, the Magic Treasure armor on half of his body already shattered.

"Enough!" True Person Gu Tu finally couldn't take it anymore and shrieked, "This isn't a battle at all! He's just playing with us; it's not worth throwing our lives away here! Alliance Leader Li, my apologies, but this old man... will be taking his leave first!"

With that, he actually ignored everything and suddenly turned around, transforming into a pale light of escape, about to shoot toward the distant horizon!

The pale light of True Person Gu Tu's escape had barely traveled a hundred feet when his vision suddenly blurred.

A figure in green robes had silently blocked his path at some unknown moment. He was holding a flask, with a faint, knowing smile on his lips—it was none other than Su Mo.

"Fellow Daoist," Su Mo slowly shook his flask, his voice calm, "leaving in such a hurry before the fight is over? That's not quite according to the rules."

True Person Gu Tu's escape light suddenly halted, forcing him to reveal his form.

He sized up Su Mo with suspicion and uncertainty, his mind racing with calculations.

"Where did this reckless junior come from!" Gu Tu's face was distorted, killing intent visible in his eyes, "To think a mere Golden Immortal who has just glimpsed the threshold would dare block my path? Get lost! Otherwise, I'll extinguish your Divine Soul and ensure you never find peace in the afterlife!"

He didn't give Su Mo a chance to speak again. When escaping, thunderous methods were preferred. He suddenly reached out his right hand, fingers forming a claw, and grabbed at Su Mo through the air!

"Ten Thousand Bone Soul-Devouring Claw!"

A massive, pale bone claw condensed from white bones and entwined with the wails of countless vengeful souls appeared out of thin air, instantly crossing space to grab Su Mo from above!

Gu Tu unleashed this claw in a fit of rage; its power was enough to easily tear through the defenses of an ordinary Late Golden Immortal!

Facing this sudden attack, the smile on Su Mo's face didn't change at all, and there wasn't even a ripple in his eyes.

He simply raised his left hand lightly and pointed his index finger toward the howling, massive bone claw.

Buzz—

It wasn't some earth-shattering commotion. Behind him, a blurred and vast phantom quietly emerged.

It was the projection of the Cangxu Realm that Su Mo had refined and controlled!

At this moment, Su Mo's Chaos Qi was wound around the projection of the Cangxu Realm, making it appear incredibly mysterious.

"Go."

With a thought, Su Mo softly uttered a single word.

The phantom of the Cangxu Realm, wreathed in Chaos Qi, lightly bumped forward with a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast.

There were no flashy lights or deafening roars.

The menacing, Evil Qi-filled bone claw was silently dissolved the moment it touched the Chaos Qi at the edge of the Cangxu Realm's phantom, without even causing a ripple!

"Ugh, ah—!"

True Person Gu Tu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He let out a muffled groan, his face instantly turning as pale as paper. He staggered backward, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock and terror!

The bone claw was linked to his mind, and having it broken so easily caused a stinging pain in his Divine Soul from the backlash.

"You... you..." He pointed at Su Mo, his fingers trembling and his voice dry and hoarse, "Another... Golden Immortal who has refined a minor realm?!"

Only now did he truly understand. How was this some junior who had just entered the Golden Immortal stage?

This was clearly a Golden Immortal Realm Cultivator even stronger than Fu Tianming!

Gu Tu's exclamation was the final straw, completely crushing the psychological defenses of the other Elders who were still hesitating about whether to flee.

Immortal Master Chi Xiao and the others were chilled to the bone seeing this.

An undying, madly self-detonating Fu Tianming had already driven them to despair. Now, even this junior who had been watching from the sidelines had displayed such terrifying methods, easily crushing the Late Golden Immortal Gu Tu!

Escape? Where to? There was a wolf in front and a tiger behind!

"Young friend! We are willing to surrender! We are willing to serve you as our master! We only beg for our lives to be spared!"

Immortal Master Chi Xiao was the first to react, actually kneeling in mid-air with a thud and kowtowing repeatedly to Su Mo, without a hint of his former arrogance.

"Spare our lives! Young friend, spare our lives! We were coerced by Li Juexin; we had no choice!"

"We beg for your mercy, young friend!"

In an instant, the remaining Elders who hadn't fled far followed suit, kneeling toward Su Mo and pleading for mercy in a pathetic display of cowardice.

Su Mo didn't even lift an eyelid at the pleas of these Elders; he just slowly took a sip of the Spirit Wine from his flask.

Then, he turned his gaze toward Fu Tianming.

"Old Fu," his voice was flat, "finish this quickly; I have things to do."

Fu Tianming paused, his crimson eyes turning to Su Mo, and then he grinned:

"Alright! Brother Mo, wait a moment, I'll... send them on their way!"

Hearing this, Chi Xiao, Gu Tu, and the others kneeling on the ground felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

They instantly understood that from the beginning, neither Fu Tianming nor this unfathomable Su Mo had any intention of leaving them a way out!

Begging for mercy was merely inviting humiliation!

"junior! You go too far!"

"Do you really think you've got us cornered?!"

"We are all Golden Immortals. If we fight to the death, it's not yet certain who will emerge victorious!"

Despair transformed into frantic rage. True Person Gu Tu was the first to erupt, his face no longer showing any cowardice, replaced by the ferocity of a cornered beast.

The other Elders also stood up, their eyes flashing with murderous light. Their immortal power began to burn and boil recklessly, clearly intending to risk everything in a final struggle!

However, Su Mo just lightly waved his right hand, which held the flask.

As he waved his hand, a figure wearing a dark gold dragon robe appeared silently beside him.

It was none other than Zhao Cangqiong, whom he had previously transformed into an Incarnation!

"Go," Su Mo flatly uttered two words, then actually turned around and returned to the top of the isolated peak where he had first watched the battle.

Chi Xiao, Gu Tu, and the others were stunned to see the sudden appearance of Zhao Cangqiong.

"This is...? No! This aura..."

True Person Gu Tu reacted the fastest, his expression changing wildly as he shrieked:

"Not good! Retreat!!!"

However, it was already too late.

Zhao Cangqiong, standing in place, made no extra movements.

Boom—!!!!

Violent energy exploded outward with Zhao Cangqiong at the center!

The three Elders with slightly weaker cultivation who bore the brunt were instantly heavily injured in Physical Body and Divine Soul!

To the side, Li Juexin was frantically trading blows with the recklessly fighting Fu Tianming, while glancing out of the corner of his eye at the scene of the twelve Elders suffering heavy casualties under the successive self-detonations of Su Mo's bizarre Incarnation. His heart was filled with shock and anger.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What a bunch of useless trash!"

He knew he couldn't wait any longer!

He had to use his final and most dangerous trump card!

"Fu Tianming!" Li Juexin stood side by side with Bi Lin.

A look of desperate ferocity appeared on his face as he shouted:

"Do you really think I came unprepared?!"

He flipped his right hand, and in his palm appeared a dark purple heart the size of a fist!

The surface of this heart was covered in ancient, eerie demonic patterns. Every beat caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly, as if resonating with some terrifying existence in the darkness!

Fu Tianming's assault paused slightly. He narrowed his crimson eyes and looked coldly at that demonic heart:

"Oh? Finally willing to bring out something decent? However, no matter what you prepare, today, you are destined to experience a despair deeper than being suppressed for ten thousand years."

Li Juexin gripped the demonic heart as if it were trying to break free from his palm, his facial muscles twitching madly and distortedly:

"Despair? Fu Tianming! Do you know why I strongly suggested you establish the Inverse Immortal Alliance headquarters here back then?!"

His voice suddenly rose with hysterical delight and malice: "It wasn't because it was strategically important! It was because this place... Seals a slumbering, heavily injured—"

"Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm Great Demon!"

"This is a wisp of the Origin Demonic Heart left behind by that Great Demon before he was sealed! Right now, it is the key to awakening him!"

Li Juexin's eyes flashed with a crazed light as he stared intently at Fu Tianming, also glancing at Su Mo on the distant isolated peak, whose expression finally seemed to have a slight change.

"You want me dead? You want Bi Lin dead? Hahaha... fine! Very well! Then you don't get to live either!"
