Langhuan Immortal Lord

Yu Weichen instantly felt a bad premonition.

Even among True Immortals, there are distinctions in strength.

Although Zhong Qing had previously displayed the strength to knock down Lin Chi of the Qilin Clan with a single slap,

Yu Weichen didn't believe that Zhong Qing, who had only recently achieved a Breakthrough, could compare to Wei Yitian, a Heaven Protector of the Immortal Alliance.

What's more, Zhong Qing was unarmed at this moment, while the long halberd in Wei Yitian's hand was a genuine Immortal Artifact.

The Broken God Halberd, named for its ability to break gods, showed its power. It was a terrifying weapon primarily focused on offense and slaughter, once piercing a True Immortal who had betrayed the Immortal Alliance.

Even if Zhong Qing was an Immortal Seed, and his Physical Body was far stronger than ordinary True Immortals, he couldn't possibly withstand an Immortal Artifact's attack with just his Physical Body's defense.

He could tell that Wei Yitian's strike showed no mercy and was extremely vicious.

If Zhong Qing was hit by the halberd, he would at least be severely injured.

Yu Weichen gritted his teeth, not caring about anything else, and was about to unleash his full power and Divine Ability to stop it.

Meanwhile, Wei Yitian's face showed coldness, and he suddenly accelerated.

Then, in the next moment, the sharp edge of the long halberd stopped abruptly less than two inches from Zhong Qing's body.

This was naturally not Wei Yitian holding back.

Rather, this halberd, no matter what, simply couldn't be thrust forward any further.

Because two slender, fair fingers gently gripped the blade of the long halberd.

Yu Weichen in the distance widened his eyes in shock.

Shock also appeared in Wei Yitian's eyes.

Zhong Qing had turned around at some point, raising his left hand, his two fingers gripping the Broken God Halberd, and was looking at Wei Yitian with an expressionless face.

At this moment, both Wei Yitian and Yu Weichen were so shocked that they almost lost their composure.

They had thought Zhong Qing would respond in various ways: perhaps using Immortal Arts or Divine Abilities to defend or even counter-attack, or choosing to evade, or even directly pulling out an Immortal Artifact to block.

But what they never expected was that he would receive it so effortlessly, with just two fingers.

At this point, Zhong Qing, with one hand gripping the Broken God Halberd, slowly raised his other hand and reached out towards Wei Yitian.

For some reason, the moment Zhong Qing raised his hand, Wei Yitian's entire body trembled, and he felt a chill in his heart.

But then, anger replaced it.

He hadn't used his full strength in that strike just now, not out of mercy, but because he had underestimated Zhong Qing.

After all, how much strength could a True Immortal who had just achieved a Breakthrough, and was an ordinary Human Race member, possibly have?

The result, however, was that Zhong Qing's strength exceeded his expectations.

More importantly, he saw the same disdain and contempt in Zhong Qing's eyes that he himself had shown towards Zhong Qing earlier.

Of course, this was actually just his psychological effect.

To Zhong Qing, he was just like a buzzing fly.

Naturally, a person wouldn't bother to disdain or despise a fly; they just wouldn't take it seriously, and if it became annoying, they'd swat it dead.

But this disregard, to Wei Yitian, was the greatest insult.

He roared, "Brat, General Wei underestimated you. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant."

"But don't think that having this little bit of strength means you can look down on everything. Today, General Wei will teach you that there are still differences between True Immortals!"

As his voice fell, his terrifying and boundless immortal Qi instantly erupted, about to push the Broken God Halberd to pierce through Zhong Qing with its sharp edge before Zhong Qing's palm could touch him!

Just then, a cold snort sounded.

Wei Yitian's entire body trembled as if struck by a heavy blow, and he was directly sent flying backward.

But the Broken God Halberd in his hand was still held between Zhong Qing's fingers, unmoving like a mountain. He couldn't pull it out, causing Wei Yitian to let go, leaving the long halberd in Zhong Qing's hand.

Zhong Qing, holding the long halberd, didn't continue to pursue Wei Yitian but looked behind him.

At the same time, a pleasant yet slightly cold voice came.

"Wei Yitian, you wield quite the official authority."

"I told you to guard the Immortal Gate; is this how you guard it?"

Hearing this voice, a look of joy also appeared on Yu Weichen's face.

"Immortal Lord!"

At this moment, Zhong Qing turned his head and saw a figure slowly stepping out from amidst the layers of palaces and swirling starlight, treading upon the starry Void Realm.

She wore a goose-yellow palace dress adorned with sun and moon, surrounded by a multitude of stars.

A high feathered crown, and her long black hair was tied up, accentuating her snow-white skin, which seemed to glow.

Her beautiful eyebrows and perfect, flawless features should have inspired affection, but the black eyes exuded an Aura of dominance no less than that of any powerful ruler.

With every step and every gesture, the heavens and earth seemed easily manipulated. Her transcendent Aura, standing above the Nine Heavens, looked down upon all things.

This was an incomparably beautiful and extraordinary woman whose beauty was overshadowed by her temperament.

Even the renowned Red Dust Empress in the First Heaven would pale in comparison.

She truly lived up to the name of Immortal Lord.

Her casual flick to send Wei Yitian flying further demonstrated her formidable strength.

With just one glance, combined with Yu Weichen's 'Immortal Lord' remark, Zhong Qing had already guessed that the person before him was none other than Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan, whom Yu Weichen had spoken of!

Upon seeing the Immortal Lord arrive, Wei Yitian's expression also changed.

He slowly stood up and, together with Yu Weichen in the distance, cupped his fists in salute to the woman.

"Greetings, Immortal Lord!"

Yu Weichen predictably transmitted a message, "Little Friend Zhong, this is Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan! She is currently the strongest True Immortal of our Human Race!"

Zhong Qing nodded, saying nothing.

Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan's gaze also fell upon Zhong Qing immediately.

After gazing at Zhong Qing for a moment, she nodded slightly, not immediately speaking to him, but turned to Wei Yitian, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

"This True Immortal Zhong Qing from the Lower Realm was brought here by Heaven Protector Yu Tian Hu under my command."

"You, as a fellow Heaven Protector of the Immortal Alliance, guarding the Immortal Gate, yet you draw weapons against a True Immortal about to join the Immortal Alliance. Do you admit your guilt?"

Her tone was not heavy, even somewhat calm.

But as the last few words left her mouth, an infinite pressure suddenly emerged from the Void Realm, pressing down fiercely upon Wei Yitian.

Wei Yitian, an old True Immortal, changed color, his body trembled, and he almost knelt down directly.

He trembled, struggling to support himself, and gritted his teeth as he spoke, "Reporting to Immortal Lord, as the Immortal Lord said, your subordinate was ordered to guard the Heaven Gate."

"Your subordinate did not receive orders to let them pass, and out of duty, I naturally had to stop them."

Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan spoke calmly, "I have already issued a decree to Heaven Protector Yu Tian Hu."

"What? Do you think Heaven Protector Yu Tian Hu would falsely transmit orders?"

Wei Yitian lowered his head and said, "Your subordinate was unaware. Since your subordinate did not directly receive the Immortal Lord's command, then it could be either true or false."

Immortal Lord Celestial Immortal Langhuan's gaze turned cold, and she suddenly let out a low roar.

"Presumptuous!"

With this soft cry, the invisible pressure instantly intensified, as if the entire Void Realm itself was collapsing and crushing down upon him.

Wei Yitian immediately couldn't bear it, his knees buckled, and he half-knelt on the ground.
