Chapter 1065 Suppressing you is enough
The voice of the Celestial Ancestor Qiong Gao trembled, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, as if even his soul was curled up in a ball under that immortal pressure. This simple sentence exhausted all his strength, and even the star chains around him made a soft clattering sound due to the tremor.
Gazing at the figure enveloped in golden light below, the Celestial Ancestor Qiong Gao felt his mouth go dry and even his breath felt burning – it was a fear from the depths of his soul, the instinctive submission etched into his bones when a half-step Golden Immortal faces an immortal being, as if a single thought from the other party could annihilate his soul.
at this time……
The voice of the Ancestor Cangxuan suddenly rang out from behind, like lightning piercing through the dark clouds in the night, with a sharpness that broke through the fog, instantly dispelling the darkness of despair in the heart of the Immortal Ancestor Qionggao: "No, this is impossible! In all these years, no immortal phenomena have ever been born in the Nine Domains Continent, and the laws of heaven and earth have never made the slightest change. Old man Liexuan could never be an immortal golden immortal!"
His voice was firm and resolute, like a heavy hammer that struck the hearts of everyone, making those half-step Golden Immortals who were almost kneeling on the ground tremble and their eyes regain a glimmer of clarity.
"Yes! The phenomenon of immortality!"
Qiong Gao Immortal Ancestor suddenly repeated, the fading light of hope in his eyes blazing fiercely like a wildfire. He stared intently at the golden pillar of light, his mind racing—yes, the attainment of immortality is always accompanied by extraordinary phenomena. At best, it's a radiant glow piercing the sun and celestial music resounding throughout the universe; at worst, it's causing galaxies to reverse and laws to resonate. This is a gift from heaven and earth to the newly ascended immortal, an indelible mark. If Lie Xuan had truly succeeded in attaining immortality, these half-step Golden Immortals couldn't possibly have been oblivious. The Nine Domains Continent should have already been in an uproar because of this aura.
Furthermore, this old man Lie Xuan just said that he would use their very essence to help him take the final step. If he were already an Immortal Golden Immortal, why would he need to do such a thing?
Furthermore, if this old man Lie Xuan were truly an Immortal Golden Immortal, how could he have stood by and watched Lie Yuan's four juniors be reduced to ashes? Although Immortal Golden Immortals can reverse time and retrieve lost lives from the river of time, it is not without cost—the higher the cultivation level, the greater the price. Lie Yuan and his three companions were all half-step Golden Immortals; resurrecting just one would be enough to severely damage a newly ascended Immortal's vital energy; resurrecting four in succession would be enough to shake their foundations and even affect their cultivation for billions of years to come. Old man Lie Xuan is incredibly cunning; unless he's completely out of his mind, he would never make such a basic mistake.
"That old man Lie Xuan must have used some forbidden divine power, burning his foundation or lifespan to temporarily increase his power, thus neutralizing our deadly attack!" A flash of understanding appeared in the eyes of the Celestial Ancestor Qiong Gao, as if he had instantly seen through the truth. His previous shock was forcibly suppressed, replaced by an anger at being toyed with. "Yes, that must be it! He is probably already at his last gasp. All of this was just a bluff to scare us away and buy him a chance to survive!"
next second...
A cold smile returned to the face of the Celestial Ancestor Qiong Gao, his eyes sharp as knives, as if he had truly seen through all of the scheming of the Primordial Ancestor Lie Xuan. He said loudly, "Well done, old man Lie Xuan, what a deep scheme! It's fortunate that Brother Cang Xuan reminded me, otherwise, I might have really been fooled by you!"
As he spoke, the star chains around the Celestial Ancestor Qiong Gao tightened once more, and the illusory images of billions of stars lit up again. Although there was still a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, he had already recovered most of his power: "Everyone, do not be intimidated by his bluff! His forbidden divine power will not last long. Let's all attack together. I want to see how long this old man Lie Xuan can hold out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the Star Chains, unleashing countless beams of starlight like arrows raining down on the "Fierce Profound Ancestor" below, carrying a do-or-die determination. The Azure Profound Ancestor, the Nine Heavens Ancestor, and over a hundred other half-step Golden Immortals exchanged glances. Although many of them still had some reservations, the analysis of the Celestial Ancestor of the Azure Sky was perfectly reasonable, and their instinctive aversion to immortality allowed them to instantly reach a consensus. They once again activated their divine powers and immortal artifacts, and a second destructive torrent condensed, even more violent than before, carrying the power to crush all illusions as it blasted towards the golden pillar of light.
In the void, the auras of hundreds of half-step Golden Immortals rose again. Although the pressure emanating from "Ancestor Liexuan" was still terrifyingly powerful, making these half-step Golden Immortals feel as if they were on a different level of life, the thought that "the other party only used forbidden divine power" had taken root in their hearts like a seed, supporting them to continue forward and suppressing their fear of immortal Golden Immortals deep in their hearts.
Amidst the golden light, the "Ancestor Liexuan" watched the torrent surge once more, his indifference unchanged, though a barely perceptible hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, as if he were watching an increasingly ridiculous farce, a group of clowns performing their own end.
"Bluster? At the end of their rope?" "Ancestor Liexuan" chuckled, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears, "Unfortunately, I am not."
As he spoke, "Ancestor Liexuan" slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers long and slender, with golden flames swirling around the tips. In his palm, a palm-sized golden flame quietly bloomed, shaped like a lotus platform, with immortal Dao patterns flowing across its layers of petals. Within that flame, countless stars seemed to be born and die, their flashes and disappearances representing the cycle of a universe; it also seemed as if myriad rules were rising and falling, with metal, wood, water, fire, earth, time, space, yin and yang all intertwining and colliding at the heart of the flame, radiating a terrifying power.
"Break this seat!"
A soft shout, unlike the thunderous force of a great calamity, carried an irresistible will of the Great Dao. "Ancestor Liexuan" casually clapped his hand, and the golden flame in his palm suddenly broke free from his control, rapidly expanding in the air, instantly transforming into a sea of flames that blotted out the sky, like a black hole that devoured everything.
Wherever it passed, the void was burned into nothingness, and the rules were melted into molten pulp. In an instant, it completely swallowed the second torrent of destruction condensed by the 163 half-step Golden Immortals, including the Celestial Ancestor Qiong Gao.
There was no earth-shattering collision, only silent annihilation. Those thunderous spears capable of tearing apart immortal realms, those colossal cloud-like palms that blotted out the sun, those vines and whips that entwined heaven and earth... were like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun in the golden flames, leaving not even a wisp of smoke. Even more terrifying was that those quasi-immortal golden immortal artifacts suspended in mid-air, enveloped in the sea of flames, trembled violently, their surface runes rapidly dimming, and moments later, with a "crack," they shattered—the flames had directly obliterated the divine soul imprints within, turning these quasi-immortal golden immortal artifacts back into ownerless objects.
Immediately afterwards, the "Ancestor Liexuan" waved his long sleeves, and an invisible suction force surged out from his sleeves, pulling all the quasi-immortal golden immortal artifacts into his natal sea of time, where they were completely suppressed.
"Ah... poof..."
Almost simultaneously with the disappearance of the quasi-immortal Golden Immortal artifacts, the 163 half-step Golden Immortals, including the Celestial Ancestor Qiong Gao, let out a scream, spitting out mouthfuls of golden immortal blood. The blood droplets turned into specks of light in the air, only to be burned to ashes by the residual power of the flames. Their auras plummeted rapidly, like balloons punctured by needles: perfect half-step Golden Immortals fell to their peak, peak half-step Golden Immortals fell to their late stage, late stage half-step Golden Immortals fell to their mid-stage… Especially those early-stage half-step Golden Immortals, under this terrifying backlash, had their immortal foundations shattered, their cultivation levels plummeted, and they directly fell to the ninth-grade True Immortal realm, their auras as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
The once imposing half-step Golden Immortals were now deathly pale, their bodies swaying precariously. Their gazes towards the "Fierce Profound Ancestor" within the golden light had lost their previous resolve and disdain, replaced by an undisguised fear, like frightened lambs facing a tiger. It was a tremor from the very soul, a despair at absolute power—this effortless dismantling of the combined might of hundreds of half-step Golden Immortals didn't seem like a sign of exhaustion. The power contained within the flames far surpassed their understanding of half-step Golden Immortals.
"Is this... really as Immortal Ancestor Qionggao said, that this old man Liexuan is just bluffing?"
Beside Immortal Ancestor Qinglan, a late-stage half-step Golden Immortal murmured in a trembling voice, his tone filled with deep self-doubt. He subconsciously looked at Immortal Ancestor Qionggao, only to see that this number one half-step Golden Immortal of the Nine Immortal Realms was now ashen-faced, blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth, the star chains around him dim and lifeless, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror, where was the slightest bit of his previous confidence?
Soon, the seeds of doubt took root and sprouted in the minds of hundreds of half-step Golden Immortals, growing strong and thriving. They looked at each other, their initial thought that "the other party merely used a forbidden divine power" crumbling, replaced by a chilling possibility—
"Old man Lie Xuan, you...you have really attained immortality?"
Otherwise, how could there be such terrifying power, not only dismantling their offensive but also erasing the divine soul imprints on their natal immortal artifacts in an instant? This method is definitely not something a half-step Golden Immortal can possess, and even those half-step Golden Immortals who possess immortal Golden Immortal artifacts would find it impossible.
Unless, of course, the Immortal Golden Immortal artifact in his possession is not a Grade One Immortal Golden Immortal artifact.
But is this possible?
Second-grade or higher Immortal Golden Immortal artifacts are rare even among the nine Immortal Golden Immortals. What virtue or ability does this old man Lie Xuan possess to have such a treasure?
"Immortal Golden Immortal? I am not yet one, but that is enough to suppress you all!"
