When the sustained Taiyi-level battle erupted in Misty City without any concealment of heavenly secrets.
The entire Immortal Realm, all cultivators who had reached Taiyi level or above, sensed it in their hearts and turned their gazes toward the location of the battle.
Taiyi Golden Immortals have already entered the hall of mastery in the path of laws, having reached the fundamental sources of various major laws, enabling them to borrow numerous means from the great Dao of laws.
Since laws exist everywhere in the Immortal Realm, cultivators who have proven the Taiyi Dao can thus use their Taiyi Dao Fruit to observe major events throughout the Immortal Realm!
Taiyi-level battles inevitably stir the web of laws in the Immortal Realm. Through this connection, cultivators at Taiyi Golden Immortal level and above can deduce heavenly secrets via the law web, thereby observing major events as they unfold.
The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Feather Clan, Spirit Clan, Demon Clan, Sea Clan, Flower Clan, and other major races.
The Taiyi Sect, Shangqing Sect, Harmony Joy Sect, Sword Pavilion, and other major sects.
Plus the Taiyi powerhouses from various large and small forces across the Immortal Realm—all turned their attention accordingly.
Thus, the battle occurring above Misty City unfolded before the eyes of various powerhouses.
They saw a fire phoenix from the Phoenix Clan wreaking havoc in human territory, its arrogant appearance causing tremors among small and medium races.Most Taiyi experts didn't hold much hope for humanity's outcome, preparing to witness humanity's fate.
However, when seven Taiyi Immortal Kings emerged one after another from the Human Sacred Mountain, many Taiyi Immortal Kings were astonished.
Moreover, these seven Taiyi Golden Immortals possessed extremely strong combat power. Working together, they actually suppressed the mid-stage fire phoenix completely, achieving a direct kill. Had the fire phoenix not possessed nirvana divine ability, it would have been declared dead already.
This made everyone curious about these seven Taiyi Golden Immortals.
But being merely early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortals, they didn't cause too great a reaction.
The appearance of the Netherbird, however, immediately made everyone serious and attentive.
"Kong You has appeared! It seems humanity will fall this time!"
"These seven Taiyi Immortal Kings might perish now!"
"Humanity does have potential, but this is as far as it goes!"
When the Netherbird Kong You appeared in the sky, the lunar laws between heaven and earth fluctuated violently accordingly. The sunlight in the sky was instantly obscured, turning everything within a hundred thousand miles into nighttime.
His mere appearance brought about effects that altered heaven and earth, astonishingly powerful.
Kong You resembled a black sun, replacing the sun's position anew. Lunar power enveloped the earth, and countless living creatures outside Misty City instantly turned into Yin corpses, dying silently without a sound!
Several strands of lunar power ten thousand times more concentrated coiled around the seven Taiyi Golden Immortals like venomous snakes and scorpions. Kong You had already moved with killing intent.
However, contrary to his expectations, the seven early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortals seemed to possess strong resistance to lunar power, completely ignoring the erosion of lunar energy. They continued surrounding and attacking Yao Xi, once again cutting down the recently revived Yao Xi beneath their swords.
Yao Xi entered nirvana state again, but this revival time was exceptionally long—this would be Yao Xi's final resurrection.
Kong You's face darkened. He still couldn't see how these seven were resisting the lunar power, so he hesitated no longer. Quickly swooping down, he extended his claws toward the seven.
However, just as he was about to reach one of the Taiyi Golden Immortals.
An intense sense of threat surged into his heart.
He immediately turned to look in the direction of the threat.
He saw a flying sword shooting toward him from within the Sacred Mountain at an astonishing speed!
Clang!
The flying sword collided with the bird claw.
Kong You retreated repeatedly, actually being sent flying back by a single sword strike.
The flying sword also flew back, eventually landing in the hand of an unfamiliar Taiyi who had emerged from the Human Sacred Mountain.
On him, the late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation was clearly revealed—this was actually another of Su Yuan's clones, with the original material being the Red Spirit Demon Lord.
Kong You frowned: "Who are you, daring to obstruct me?"
"This humble Daoist is Chi Youzi, greetings fellow Daoist!"
Kong You didn't expect the newcomer to also have "You" in his name. Could he also be a practitioner of the Yin path?
"Release my wife, otherwise I will fight humanity to the death!" Kong You said coldly.
"Fellow Daoist, you're attached to appearances. This is the fire phoenix's death calamity. If you interfere, you will draw the calamity into yourself, dying without regret," Su Yuan said mysteriously.
"Seeking death!"
Kong You's gaze turned cold. Sinister lunar power transformed into lunar fire, instantly enveloping the seven early-stage Taiyi Immortal Kings.
Su Yuan shook his head. He stepped forward, arriving among the seven, and in an instant, he merged into their formation.
The already powerful formation instantly saw its power surge dramatically, easily blocking the lunar fire outside the formation!
At this moment, in the formation's center, the fire phoenix Yao Xi revived again.
The first thing she did upon appearing was shout toward Kong You: "Husband, kill these humans! Making me fall through nirvana is unforgivable! I also want to slaughter a hundred human cities to vent my anger!"
She spoke her thoughts recklessly, completely disregarding the hostile gazes around her. In her view, her husband could easily kill the surrounding people.
But soon, she noticed something wrong.
Her husband hadn't appeared by her side, but was instead blocked outside by the human formation, actually unable to break through the formation's defense.
Su You (Chi Youzi) sighed: "Why must we fight and kill? Only creating karmic obstacles!"
With a wave of his hand, a flying sword shot out at extreme speed, sweeping toward Yao Xi.
"You..." Kong You's pupils constricted!
"No...!" Yao Xi's face changed in horror.
However, Su Yuan remained expressionless. The flying sword, containing extreme Yin power, pierced through Yao Xi's body, destroying her soul!
Yao Xi's eyes quickly became lifeless, her body transforming into the fire phoenix's true form, but already devoid of vitality!
This scene shocked all parties in the Immortal Realm!
[Ding, Fame Value +1568]
[Ding, Fame Value +4270]
[Ding, Fame Value +6748]
[Ding, Fame Value +15720]
Massive fame value notifications were already flooding the system panel. Powerhouses at Taiyi Golden Immortal level and above across the Immortal Realm were astonished and shocked by Su Yuan's decisiveness.
Su Yuan's Chi Youzi name immediately became famous throughout the Immortal Realm, thoroughly establishing his reputation!
[Ding, Level Up!]
His fame level instantly rose from lv7 to lv8!
Indeed, the easiest way to become famous is to kill powerful experts!
[Ding, Rest Time +170 million years]
Su Yuan's eyes gleamed with brilliance. Indeed, she was an "old" woman—this rest time was truly abundant. Killing one person was enough for him to cultivate for a very, very long time!
After killing Yao Xi, he accordingly resolved Misty City's life-and-death crisis.
What followed was abundant rewards!
[Ding, Lifespan +138 years]
[Ding, Lifespan +157 years]
[Ding, Lifespan +72 years]
...
[Ding, Cultivation +1 Heavenly Dao attainment]
[Ding, Cultivation +2 Heavenly Dao attainments]
[Ding, Cultivation +8 Heavenly Dao attainments]
...
[Ding, Insights +5 strands]
[Ding, Insights +71 strands]
[Ding, Insights +18 strands]
...
Another series of flooding notifications. Misty City contained tens of millions of Immortal Realm cultivators, and hundreds of billions below Immortal Realm—the three types of rewards provided were truly terrifying.
Su Yuan's main body felt the magical power within his dantian increasing out of thin air. Simultaneously, his comprehension of the Star Laws was also growing substantially!
What surprised him was that the insights gained from [Answering the Call of Danger] didn't come from other cultivators' own understandings, but were the most advanced law comprehensions provided based on his current law cultivation progress.
His main body's realm instantly broke through the early-stage Taiyi bottleneck, advancing to mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!
And the massive law insights continued to expand his law comprehension limits.
The gains were truly enormous!
He never expected to obtain such massive amounts of lifespan, cultivation, and insights, because he had always thought only Seven Stars Sect disciples could activate [Answering the Call of Danger]. Now he discovered that human crises could also activate [Answering the Call of Danger], allowing him to gain such massive harvests.
This counted as unexpected gains.
His original goal had merely been rest time.
Just as Su Yuan rejoiced in his gains.
Kong You had already reached the peak of fury!
Watching his wife perish before his eyes, that kind of anger burst through his heavenly crown, bringing him close to losing rationality.
He revealed his true form as the Undying Netherbird, nearly a hundred miles in size, displaying unparalleled power.
With one flap, Kong You transformed into endless Yin wind blowing toward everyone.
"Great Divine Ability—Bone-Corroding Yin Wind!"
Su Yuan's eight clones resisted with all their might, but discovered this Yin wind actually treated their defenses as nothing, directly blowing into their physical bodies and beginning to erode their bones.
Such methods made even Su Yuan marvel.
If not for [Great Being's Form]'s damage immunity taking effect, the eight clones wouldn't have been able to resist much longer before being dissolved to death!
"He's crossing realms to execute a great divine ability technique!" Su Yuan immediately realized.
Great divine abilities could generally only be executed by Great Luo experts. But due to extreme fury, Kong You disregarded origin consumption, forcibly executing a great divine ability—he intended to damage his own foundation to avenge his wife.
Powerhouses across the Immortal Realm marveled at Kong You's ability to use great divine abilities across realms. Generally, being able to use great divine abilities across realms indicated this person possessed Great Luo potential.
This was a future Great Luo powerhouse!
Faintly, many people began contemplating helping Kong You to gain familiarity.
However, just then, above the Human Sacred Mountain, a blurry human figure emerged.
A powerful Great Luo pressure directly swept across.
Kong You, who was in the midst of executing the great divine ability technique, instantly collapsed, directly falling toward the ground, dizzy and disoriented.
Kong You struggled to lift his head, looking toward the Human Sacred Mountain direction. Gazing at that blurry figure and sensing that abyssal, sea-like Great Luo pressure, his expression became extremely bitter.
This pressure was definitely not early or mid-stage Great Luo—clearly a super powerhouse at late-stage or even peak Great Luo.
The Human Sacred Mountain actually really hid such an old monster! Weren't those just deceptive words? How could it still be true!
