Zhong Qing takes action

The Second Elder was usually known for his composure and calmness.

However, the calmer a person usually is, the more irrational they become when they break down.

Just like the Second Elder right now.

As the Second Elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, and also the second strongest person in the sect.

The Second Elder had lived a life of luxury for countless years; even his own Sect Master had to give way to him.

Looking at the entire Second Heaven, who wouldn't treat him with courtesy and respect?

Even if there were occasional conflicts, his appearance would always resolve them peacefully. Even when it was necessary to fight, there were no more than a handful of people in the entire Second Heaven who could contend with him.

Therefore, he couldn't remember how many years it had been since he was injured.

But today, he had been humiliated twice in front of everyone, his hands twisted like sugarcane. Who could endure this?

Under such provocation, the Second Elder finally erupted in rage and charged directly at Zhong Qing without thinking.

Broken hands could not prevent a Nine Revolutions Pseudo Immortal from unleashing his power. In his fury, the Second Elder directly unleashed his full strength. A violent Aura surged between heaven and earth, condensing into a stream of light spanning tens of thousands of miles, formed by an unimaginably terrifying Immortal power.

Every strand of power within this stream of light was the condensed manifestation of countless rules. Every inch flowed with destructive and terrifying power, sweeping through the Void Realm and enveloping Zhong Qing.

The full power unleashed by a Nine Revolutions Pseudo Immortal in a fit of rage truly made the heavens, earth, sun, and moon tremble, and everyone present turned pale.

Against the backdrop of this power, Zhong Qing, as the one facing it, appeared ordinary, like an ant, about to be swept into this terrifying tide and instantly pulverized, leaving not even dust.

Then, in the next moment, in front of everyone, Zhong Qing made his move.

He simply took a step forward, one hand behind his back, and extended the other hand, palm forward, gently clenching it.

In the next moment, the stream of light spanning tens of thousands of miles shattered. The dispersed power wildly scattered between heaven and earth, and millions of miles of land instantly became a mess. The Second Elder, who was at the very center, didn't even let out a grunt. His body completely exploded, then instantly turned to dust and dissipated between heaven and earth.

All traces of his Aura vanished in an instant.

Inside and outside Yuhua Cave Heaven, a deathly silence fell.

Even those who were brutally beating the Grand Elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect inside couldn't help but stop, their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.

Even though the two had successively broken the Second Elder's hands earlier, it was still barely within an acceptable range.

After all, even among Nine Revolutions Pseudo Immortals, there are differences in strength.

It was normal for the Second Elder to suffer a loss when encountering an opponent stronger than himself.

But this time, the Second Elder had unleashed his full power in a rage. That strike just now would have required even Ling Tian and Xu Qianfeng to fully concentrate and use all their strength to counter.

Yet, this young man crushed him, his techniques and his person, as easily as if he were crushing an ant.

The disparity between them was simply indescribable.

True Immortal!

This was the word that appeared in everyone's minds at this moment.

Only a True Immortal Rank expert possessed such terrifying means.

But in the Second Heaven, True Immortals had been hidden, how long had it been since an existence of this level had made a move?

Before the shocked crowd could react, Zhong Qing took a step and arrived directly outside the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Void Grand Formation.

Ling Tian came to his senses, trembling all over.

Facing a True Immortal-level expert, the arrogance and confidence of the Shangqing Immortal Sect's Sect Master completely vanished.

He didn't care about anything else. He directly burned his power, risking severe damage to his Origin Qi, and desperately activated the Formation, changing its position again to encompass Zhong Qing as well.

"As long as you enter the Grand Formation, even if you are a True Immortal, I can delay you for a moment!"

But at this moment, what he was thinking was not about trapping Zhong Qing, but about using the Formation's characteristics to briefly delay Zhong Qing's steps, to buy himself and others a chance to escape.

However, in the next moment, an unbelievable scene occurred.

Zhong Qing, who was enveloped by the Formation, did not stop for a single step and flew directly towards the center of the Formation.

Then... he directly ignored the Small World he was in, passed straight through it, and approached Ling Tian.

"How is this possible?!"

Ling Tian looked as if he had seen a ghost. This Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Void Grand Formation was an Immortal Rank Formation created by the Shangqing Immortal Sect's ancestor, a True Immortal-level figure.

If not for that, he wouldn't have been confident in being able to temporarily delay Zhong Qing.

However, Zhong Qing had actually ignored it directly?

He desperately activated the Formation, changing the Eight Trigrams positions, creating layers of Small Worlds, trying to trap Zhong Qing.

However, no matter how he changed and activated the Formation, Zhong Qing completely ignored it. In just one breath, he had already arrived in front of Ling Tian, then directly stretched out his hand and grabbed at Ling Tian.

At this moment, facing Zhong Qing's palm, an endless Aura of death emerged in Ling Tian's heart.

As a Peak Nine Revolutions Pseudo Immortal, he had long Cultivated to a profound Realm and could sense that with this palm from Zhong Qing, he would definitely die.

At this critical moment of life and death, Ling Tian disregarded everything. He let out a loud roar.

"Shangqing Grand Escape!"

In the Void Realm, a surge of power suddenly appeared, instantly pulling Ling Tian's body into it.

In just the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from his original spot, and even his Aura had vanished completely.

"Oh?"

Zhong Qing lost his target and was momentarily stunned.

At the same time, having lost its controller, the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Void Grand Formation also disintegrated.

Lin Feng and Xu Qianfeng's group finally broke free and flew out of it.

Lin Feng flew directly to Zhong Qing's side, looking left and right.

"Huh, where did that dog go? Revered Master, did you turn him into ashes?"

Zhong Qing shook his head, frowning, and said, "No, it seems he ran away, but where did he go?"

"Senior, he probably returned to Shangqing Cave Heaven."

A voice filled with a hint of reverence came from beside them.

Zhong Qing turned his head and saw Xu Qianfeng, the Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, flying closer with a face full of admiration and a trace of fear, bowing to Zhong Qing.

"Junior, Xu Qianfeng, the current Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, greets Senior. Thank you, Senior, for helping us escape."

Zhong Qing casually nodded, "It was just a convenience. What did you just say? He returned to Shangqing Cave Heaven?"

Xu Qianfeng nodded, "That's right. Senior probably doesn't know that our Four Great Immortal Sects all have our own Cave Heavens."

"Each Cave Heaven is formed from a True Immortal Immortal Artifact."

"And each generation's Sect Master will integrate a part of their Divided Soul will into this Cave Heaven Immortal Artifact. Thus, while inside it, one can, to a certain extent, utilize the power of this Immortal Artifact."

"At the same time, they can also form a connection with the Cave Heaven Immortal Artifact. When outside, if they encounter a life-or-death crisis, they can connect with the Cave Heaven and, ignoring spatial and temporal limitations, escape back into the Cave Heaven."

"So that's how it is." Zhong Qing stroked his chin, "That fellow ran back to his old den, huh."
