526: Chapter 526 First Mission

[Two months later.]

["Stop!" Lin Feng suddenly spoke,]

["A million miles ahead to the east and west, there is a team from the Heavenly Palace."]

["Their strength is average; the strongest is only one at Void Refining, leading nine at Soul Transformation."]

["Kill them!" Yu Tiankuo said with an expectant look.]

[Since arriving at the front lines, he hadn't had a chance to act yet, and his hands were itching for a fight.]

["Will we alert the enemy?" Huangfu Zhanming reminded.]

[You smiled: "Isn't the mission to advance the encirclement? These ants on the road should naturally be cleared away."]

[Everyone looked at you with varying expressions.]

[Lin Feng spoke again: "No need for us to act; another team has already engaged them."]

[He gestured with his hand: "Let's go, get closer, and provide support when the time comes."]

[Everyone nodded, restrained their auras, and slowly approached.]

[When the battlefield entered your Divine Sense range, you frowned slightly.]

[You recognized several people in that Heavenly Palace team.]

[For example, the leader Yan Wenjie from Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace, at the Void Refining stage.]

[Also among the Soul Transformation cultivators were Chu Fan, Nangong Feiyan, Yan Feng, and Qi Zhengyang.]

[On the Immortal Sect side, you also recognized several people.]

[The leader was Zhao Wufeng, also at the Void Refining stage.]

[Among the Soul Transformation cultivators were Chen Biao and Mo Yangming of Boundless Immortal Sect.]

[There were also several familiar faces—you had seen them at the Wuji Immortal Sect or in the Immortal City, but you couldn't name them.]

[At this moment, both sides were locked in a fierce, inseparable battle.]

[Zhao Wufeng struck out with a palm, a massive palm print pressing down, the wind of the palm carrying Law Power, forcing Yan Wenjie back ten thousand feet.]

[Yan Wenjie countered with a saber strike, the Saber Qi tearing through the Void Realm and carving out a long trail of light, aimed straight for Zhao Wufeng's face.]

[Where the two clashed, space vibrated, sparks flew, and the buzzing sound made ears go numb.]

[Nearby, those at Soul Transformation were not idle either.]

[Chen Biao's body erupted with spiritual light as his hundred-foot dharma idol's giant fist smashed toward Chu Fan.]

[Chu Fan sidestepped to avoid it and pointed back with his finger, a streak of eerie light piercing toward the center of Chen Biao's brows.]

[Nangong Feiyan's figure was elusive, the long sword in her hand turning into a sky full of sword shadows, forcing Mo Yangming of Boundless Immortal Sect to retreat repeatedly.]

[Yan Feng and Qi Zhengyang teamed up to besiege another person, one attacking and one defending, cooperating with tacit understanding.]

[Spiritual light exploded, Spells roared, and the starry sky within a ten-thousand-mile radius was trembling.]

[Watching this scene, you suddenly felt a bit dazed.]

[Decades ago, these people were still drinking together, sparring, and chatting and laughing.]

[Now, in this starry sky, they were fighting to the death.]

["Should we assist?" Sword Nameless spoke, his expression calm.]

["The opponent has another team lurking in the shadows." Lin Feng's gaze narrowed slightly, "They have already discovered us; there are also ten of them, with strength similar to ours."]

[As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's spirits rose.]

["They are coming for us," Lin Feng said in a low voice.]

[A few breaths later, in the starry sky, a rift was torn open from the inside.]

[Ten figures stepped out from within, lining up in a row, each with a smile on their face, their eyes locked onto you all.]

[Lin Feng stared at the leader and said indifferently, "Patriarch Sima Gongzhi?"]

[Patriarch Sima Gongzhi, the Old Ancestor of the Sima Immortal Clan, at the Body Integration Late Stage.]

[Lin Feng then looked at two of them and sneered, "And Fellow Daoist Xie? Fellow Daoist Yun Miao? Long time no see."]

[He paused, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "I didn't expect that you would actually be willing to be the dogs of the Heavenly Palace?"]

[Xie Changkong and Yun Miao were two Void Refining Late Stage cultivators from Tailan Star.]

[Hearing these two names, your brow furrowed slightly.]

[Once on Tailan Star, these two had been coerced by the Liu Clan to attack you.]

[But at that time, it was just for show, and they had shown mercy.]

[Why were they standing on the Heavenly Palace's side this time?]

["Fellow Daoist Yinyue, I didn't expect to meet you here." Grandmother Tianyin looked at a female cultivator and spoke calmly.]

[Old Ancestor Yinyue smiled indifferently: "Just as well, this seat has long wanted to experience that broken zither of yours."]

["Fellow Daoist Tianxuan, we haven't met for several hundred years, have we?" Huangfu Zhanming greeted one of them with a smile.]

[Ancestor Tianxuan's expression was calm, and he did not respond.]

[Old Ancestor Yinyue and Ancestor Tianxuan were both also at the Void Refining Late Stage.]

[You had heard of these two; they were two of the three strongest Void Refining cultivators of Tianxuan Star, but you had never met them.]

[As for the other major power of Tianxuan Star—the Ancestor Huanling of the Huanling Sect, he had already been killed by you.]

[As for the others, you didn't know them.]

[But you silently noted down their names—they would all be fodder for Qin Han in the future.]

[Patriarch Sima Gongzhi spoke with a smile, his tone composed and carrying a hint of condescension:]

["Everyone, you are not people of the Wuji Immortal Sect, so why oppose the Heavenly Palace?"]

["Are you not afraid of being caught in the crossfire?"]

["Hahaha—" Yu Tiankuo threw his head back and laughed, the sound making the starry sky tremble slightly.]

["Your Heavenly Palace considers itself the Righteous Path, but in secret, you do all sorts of filthy things. Striking from the shadows, murdering prodigies—which of those powers, those families, has not had someone secretly killed by you?"]

["That's right." Huangfu Zhanming sneered, his gaze like a knife, "How many hundreds or thousands of geniuses from my Huangfu Family have you secretly murdered?"]

["Now you are finally reaping what you sowed, provoking the crusade of the Immortal Sect."]

["We, naturally, should contribute our part."]

[Hearing this, Patriarch Sima Gongzhi's face turned as dark as water, and his smile gradually vanished.]

["In that case—" He slowly raised his hand,]

["Then let there be war."]

[Lin Feng looked at you all and said seriously: "Everyone, be careful!"]

[Before his voice faded, his figure had already turned into a streak of light, heading straight for Patriarch Sima Gongzhi.]

[In an instant, the two engaged.]

[The aura of the Body Integration Late Stage erupted violently, two Law Domains clashing together, causing a piece of the Void Realm to collapse.]

["Leave this one to me!"]

[Yu Tiankuo gave a loud shout, chose a target, and attacked directly.]

[The others didn't waste words either.]

[Sword Nameless thrust out a sword, the sword light like a rainbow, aimed straight for Ancestor Tianxuan.]

[Grandmother Tianyin and Old Ancestor Yinyue flashed and moved to another part of the starry sky, two waves of Divine Soul power exploding simultaneously.]

[You also found a Void Refining Late Stage opponent and met them head-on.]

[In just a brief moment, this part of heaven and earth was covered by Law Domains.]

[Twenty Domains overlapped and intertwined like an invisible giant net, pressing down overwhelmingly.]

[Within the Domains, the air stagnated and the Spiritual Qi solidified.]

[Even sound disappeared.]

[That kind of absolute dead silence was more suffocating than any roar.]

[Those with lower cultivation felt that even lifting a finger was half a beat slow, as if struggling in water.]

[In the starry sky, thousands of Law Power surged frantically.]

[Someone struck out with a palm, the Law of Fire turning into a hundred-foot fire dragon that roared as it lunged at its opponent, the dragon's roar echoing through the Void Realm, the flames on its scales burning until the air distorted.]

[Someone flicked a finger, the Space Law condensing into an invisible blade, silent and soundless, leaving a pitch-black rift in the Void Realm wherever it passed, its edges shimmering with eerie light.]

[Someone sacrificed a Spirit Treasure, spiritual light soaring to the heavens as an ancient bronze mirror projected ten thousand feet of light; wherever the mirror's light passed, space solidified.]

[Magic Treasures collided in the air, sparks flying and exploding like fireworks.]

[Buzzing, explosions, and roars blended into one.]

[The entire heaven and earth were trembling.]
