261: Lu Tao has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and emerged from seclusion!

Malori Star System, Terror Beast Savage Plane.

Black Sun Immortal Venerable, who was currently fighting a Beast God with the head of a Triceratops, had a slight change in expression. He threw a punch that unleashed a massive Black Sun, forcing the Beast God back.

He then hurriedly sent a transmission: "Clear Ripple Junior Sister, a Peak Sanctuary Necromancer has appeared in the Green Wild Mountain Range Plane!"

"He has cast the Undead Scourge Forbidden Spell. My Clone cannot handle it quickly enough; get there as soon as possible!"

Black Sun was not adept in the Law of Space, and his travel speed was far inferior to that of Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable.

Seeing that the Beast God was already at the end of its rope, it would take half a year at most to take it down.

If he left now, with only the incomplete strength of Black Sun alone, it would be impossible to settle things in the short term.

Unless he went all out and killed it directly.

But that would mean losing an extremely rare War Slave.

Under normal circumstances, Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable might have hesitated.

But the Green Wild Mountain Range Plane was precisely where her Disciple was!

"Alright!"

Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable paused for a moment and then unhesitatingly flashed away, reaching the outside of the plane.

Then, she drove the space Spirit Treasure, the illusory rainbow flying cloud bell, to its full potential, tearing open a spatial rift to initiate Interstellar Teleportation!

...At the core of the battlefield, Gulir waved his staff, chanting under his breath.

Extremely complex Magic Array Runes were carved into the void following the movements of his staff.

Majestic spatial magic power surged, tearing open a rift in the center of the runes.

Zyra, while monitoring the progress of the teleportation array, gritted her teeth and drained the last of the life force within her Domain.

She clearly felt that as she continuously absorbed the life force of the native creatures,

the star core will let out an angry roar, and waves of repulsion continuously emanated from the depths of the plane, as if trying to expel her.

However, at this moment, Zyra could no longer care about that.

If not for the suppression by Black Sun Immortal Venerable's Clone, she would have even wanted to expand the Wither and Flourish Domain to ten thousand miles,

absorbing a massive amount of life force indiscriminately!

She had to hold on until the magic array opened and she could teleport away with Gulir.

So what if the star core will rejected her?

By then, even if her Realm were to drop,

the world would be wide for her to fly—it would be far better than becoming a War Slave of the Immortal Domain Civilization.

"Gulir, how much longer?!"

As another fully condensed main trunk was destroyed by black flames, Zyra, located underground, let out a roar.

"Half a Magic Hour!"

Gulir's voice was cold, showing no concern for the fact that Zyra was already drawing upon her own magic power.

He focused solely on carving the array.

"Faster!"

Zyra screamed at the top of her lungs, "I can't last that long!"

The strength of plant-based lifeforms was heavily dependent on their own life force.

Even though her Origin was extremely vast, under the fierce attacks of Black Sun's Clone, she could only hold out for an hour at most.

She didn't know how much she would lose in half an hour.

It was highly likely that after she teleported away, her Realm would drop to the Rank 7 Middle Stage.

At Rank 7 Middle Stage, she would be no match for Gulir.

If she wasn't careful, she might even be forcibly suppressed and have a Slave Seal planted on her.

Such a result was something Zyra could not accept.

"Don't rush me, I'm going as fast as I can!"

The corner of Gulir's mouth curled into a slight arc, and he continued to carve the array runes at a leisurely pace.

How could a Rank 7 Peak outsider cooperating for profit compare to the satisfaction of having her enslaved?

But he also knew that Zyra was not stupid.

She would not allow herself to be manipulated like that.

After a moment's thought, the speed at which he carved the array runes increased slightly.

Black Sun's Clone had a stern expression, unhesitatingly consuming the Immortal Power contained within the Clone.

Black flames, imbued with the Law of the Great Dao, frantically scorched the Vine Demon's body.

He knew that Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable was already on her way.

He only needed to suppress the Vine Demon with all his might, preventing her from expanding the Wither and Flourish Domain and harming the Cultivators of the Seven Sects.

As for those tens of millions of undead creatures... there's no war without casualties!

Compared to the casualties that would be caused by a sudden expansion of the Wither and Flourish Domain, the Undead Scourge was clearly the lesser threat.

Between two evils, one must choose the lesser.

This was an unavoidable choice... At the war zone Command Post, the immortal ship was already airborne.

One Formation after another continuously bombarded the surrounding undead army that was surging forward.

Above, a True Immortal steered an Immortal Artifact Fire Fan, whipping up boundless immortal fire to frantically attack a knight clad in skeleton armor.

The armored knight moved like lightning, gripping a dark greatsword with both hands, his entire body emitting a frigid aura.

As the greatsword swung, pale Sword Qi swept in all directions, boldly cleaving through the sky full of immortal fire.

The cold and deathly Battle Qi completely ignored the fierce flames as he darted back and forth through the sea of fire, attempting to close in on Haoyang True Immortal.

Haoyang True Immortal's expression was grim as he pushed his Fire Fan and Haoyang Cultivation Technique to their limits, doing his best to block his opponent's advance.

But as his gaze swept across the area below, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable worry.

This was the Command Post, as well as the main camp where many frontline Cultivators returned to withdraw and recover.

Now, hundreds of thousands of undead were launching a frantic siege.

If not for the interference of this Sanctuary Knight, he could have wiped out those undead with a wave of his hand.

But now, he simply had no time to spare.

All of this was too sudden!

He didn't know how many people would perish in the process.

At a corner of a mountain Peak near the Command Post, Murong Yue's face was pale within the Immortal Cave's Formation. She continuously launched ice Spells to attack the undead surging forward while feeding a large number of Spirit Stones into the Formation hub to recharge it.

But there were simply too many of them, including at least two undead warriors above Rank 5.

If not for the fact that the Immortal Cave's Formation was quite sturdy and these two Rank 5 undead only knew simple Death Qi Blade Glows,

it would probably have been breached long ago.

Even so, the Immortal Cave's Formation was swaying precariously, and cracks had even begun to appear in several places.

What drove her to even greater despair was that the Corpse Puppet Howling Wind Tiger, which had been guarding the outside of the cave, had actually broken free from her control.

Instead, it had turned around to attack the Immortal Cave's Formation.

Murong Yue looked back toward the depths of the cave, where a majestic aura was currently overflowing.

Clearly, Lu Tao's Breakthrough was imminent; he was about to ascend to Soul Transformation!

But now was the most critical moment, and Murong Yue didn't dare to disturb him at all.

If she accidentally caused Lu Tao to suffer Qi Deviation,

the consequences would be something she could never accept.

In just fifteen minutes, the Talismans, low-grade Magic Treasures, and Magical Artifacts in Murong Yue's hands were all exhausted.

Even a Rank 5 Thunder Talisman given by Su Ling had only managed to shatter two skeletons.

The Howling Wind Tiger, possessing the Nether Undying Body, was still full of vigor despite being covered in wounds.

Seeing the Howling Wind Tiger roar and launch another Wind Magic attack,

Murong Yue gritted her teeth and directly detonated the high-grade magic treasure she had nurtured for many years, the Ice Ripple Sword!

"Boom!"

The Ice Ripple Sword emitted a intense ice-blue light as it exploded in front of the two skeletons.

The fragments of the Magic Treasure and the magical power explosion instantly sent them flying.

The undead creatures within a radius of dozens of feet were mostly cleared away in an instant.

Only a small number of Rank 4 undead and the Howling Wind Tiger managed to survive.

But for the undead creatures numbering in the thousands, this small loss was practically nothing.

Murong Yue bit her lower lip and threw out another silk-like Magic Treasure.

It instantly transformed into surging currents, wrapping around over a hundred undead before violently self-detonating!

However, at that very moment, the Formation's light screen let out a series of cracking sounds.

Then it was struck by a Pale Wind Blade, instantly dissolving into a sky full of spiritual energy motes.

The Immortal Cave was now wide open!

"Junior Brother Lu..."

Murong Yue whispered softly, channeling all her magical power to condense a Spell, and instantly flashed to the cave entrance.

Endless icy energy rapidly spread out from her body.

Along with herself, all the undead creatures below Rank 4 within a hundred-foot radius were frozen into ice sculptures.

"Little Yue!"

Inside the Immortal Cave, the majestic aura suddenly surged.

A Golden-white Sword Shadow flashed out from the cave.

Boundless Sword Qi shot out in all directions, and in an instant, it shredded the pouncing Howling Wind Tiger into pieces.

Lu Tao, his entire body radiating a piercing Sword Intent, appeared before the ice sculpture. Looking at the resolute expression on Murong Yue's face, he let out a roar of extreme rage:

"DIE!!!"
