424: Take action

Everyone immediately looked toward Bai Ao, their hearts trembling and their faces filled with disbelief.

Although Bai Ao's aura was not particularly dense, they still felt a heart-pounding sensation; this was definitely a Taboo Expert.

Damn it!

Did it still draw out such a powerhouse?

Everyone's expressions were ugly to the extreme, especially the six who had acted first; had they known, they would have acted recklessly from the start.

But it was too late for regrets now.

Not far away, the Void Realm vibrated slightly, and Fang He's figure was revealed.

The moment he appeared, the pupils of many in the Azure Heaven Realm constricted. The incident with the Yue family involving a Taboo Expert not long ago was still fresh in their minds.

Now that this expert was taking action again, did it mean the master behind this Taboo Expert favored Jiang He?

Looking at it this way, wouldn't those who acted today suffer for it?

At this moment.

The six Dominator Realm experts in the sky couldn't help but have their pupils shrink upon seeing Fang He, their faces showing panic and fear. As Dominators of the Azure Heaven Realm, they naturally recognized Fang He.

To a Taboo Expert, those in the Dominator Realm were no different from ants.

A strange silence fell over the world. The Dominator Realm experts who had been prepared to go all out began to retreat quietly.

The intervention of a Taboo Expert meant they wouldn't succeed today no matter what they did.

Because none of them possessed the means to resist a Taboo Expert.

While the Violet Heavens Chaos Physique was desirable, one needed to be alive to enjoy it.

The Zhou Family Head looked unwilling. Today was clearly a perfect opportunity, just a step away from killing Jiang Hao and ruining Jiang He.

The current turn of events made him extremely uneasy.

If this Taboo Expert intended to devour and refine the Violet Heavens Chaos Physique, it would be fine. But if they wanted to take him as a Disciple, what would become of the Zhou Family in the future?

Thinking of this, his expression became somewhat distorted.

Usually, in such situations, the other party would take Jiang He as a Disciple. After reaching the Taboo Expert level, the drawbacks of discarding one's own cultivation were too great. Furthermore, the Violet Heavens Chaos Physique was a masterpiece of heaven and earth, endowed with immense Luck.

Possession would definitely impact one's future path to becoming a god, so Taboo Experts generally wouldn't take such a risk.

Regardless, he could only leave today.

A Taboo Expert was not someone he could contend with.

“This Taboo Expert has appeared again. It looks like there's a good show to watch today.”

“If he hadn't acted, I would have thought he'd already left. It seems he's still in the Azure Heaven Realm. The Jiang Family should be safe today. For a Taboo Expert, devouring a Chaos Physique or performing a Possession isn't very cost-effective.”

“Exactly. After Possession, not only would one face Luck backlash, but they'd also have to Cultivate all over again. With so many variables in the future, whether they could reach the Taboo Expert level again is another matter.”

“I've heard of Jiang He too. He used to be an evildoing dandy, but now that he's awakened the Violet Heavens Chaos Physique, isn't he going to turn the world upside down?”

Discussions continued to ring out within the Azure Heaven Realm as many Immortal Emperor experts watched the distance with curiosity.

Spectating seemed to be a human instinct; even Immortal Emperor experts had such habits.

Jiang Hao and Yang Yunqin looked at each other, both seeing gravity and tension in the other's eyes.

If this Taboo Expert was here to take Jiang He as a Disciple, then all would be well. But if they intended harm, they would be completely powerless to stop it.

“Senior, we shall yield Jiang He to you.”

“Senior, I shall take my leave!”

Everyone cupped their hands one after another and then directly fled into the distance without any hesitation.

Regardless of anything else, running away was the priority.

“Did I say you could leave?”

Bai Ao's expression suddenly changed. His gentle smile vanished, and he became like an enraged lion, striking fear into the hearts of all who looked upon him.

A terrifying pressure swept out.

The seven people were instantly frozen in mid-air.

A Late Stage Taboo Expert—this level of cultivation was among the very top even in the entire Immortal Realm.

He was practically the strongest Cultivator below the God Realm.

The seven Dominators felt as if they were mired in a swamp, unable to move an inch. The terrifying pressure made their faces flush, feeling as if their bodies were about to explode.

How terrifying!

Everyone's hearts went cold; facing Bai Ao, they felt only endless despair.

This was definitely no ordinary Taboo Expert!

It's over!

Even a normal Taboo Expert was a terrifying powerhouse they couldn't defeat, let alone someone like Bai Ao, who was clearly a top-tier expert among Taboo Experts.

The group began to regret their actions.

If they had known, they wouldn't have waded into these muddy waters today.

Now everything was ruined.

A dead silence filled the world. Aside from the gentle breeze blowing across the horizon, almost no sound could be heard. No one dared to make a sound at this time.

Fang He lowered his head and sent a voice transmission: “Kid, are you interested in joining my Divine Court?”

Divine Court?

Jiang He immediately reacted, and he couldn't help but gulp.

Currently, there were two Divine Courts in the Immortal Realm. One was the Divine Court led by the Myriad Star Realm; although people heard of peerless experts within it, it essentially had no relation to the Supreme Divine Court of countless years ago.

The other was, naturally, the Supreme Divine Court.

But regardless of which Divine Court it was, they were existences he could not afford to provoke.

Although the current Divine Court in the Immortal Realm was not as powerful as the Supreme Divine Court, rumors suggested it possessed Taboo Experts. This was why no other powerhouses had spoken out against them since they occupied the lower-ranked worlds.

Jiang He took a deep breath: “As long as the Lord can protect my parents, I can join the Divine Court.”

Protect them?

Fang He smiled. Wasn't that a simple matter?

“Old Bai, I'll leave it to you.”

Bai Ao shook his head and laughed. He said calmly, “I haven't exercised in a long time, so let's move around a bit.”

At these words, the seven Dominators felt their scalps tingle and their bodies go cold.

The next moment.

Bai Ao vanished instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of one of the Dominator Realm Cultivators.

He lightly raised his hand, and that Dominator Realm Cultivator was crushed like a chick by some terrifying force.

Even the Divine Soul and Essence were turned to ashes.

This!

Seeing this, the other Dominators were scared out of their wits, feeling as if they were about to fall into a bottomless abyss; they were chilled to the bone.

“Lord... spare me!”

One of the extremely powerful Dominator Realm Cultivators spoke with difficulty. He was close to a Breakthrough to a Half-step Taboo Expert, so he managed to struggle against the pressure for a fleeting moment.

But in the next instant.

He was obliterated just like the previous person.

The experts of the entire Azure Heaven Realm couldn't help but gasp at this sight.

“My god! This is another Taboo Expert, and judging by his appearance, he knows the other one. Does that mean the young man who appeared at the Yue family controls two Taboo Experts at once?”

...
