From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 387 The First Unexpected Event

A strange impulse arose in Chen Xuan's heart; the things in the coffin in the distance seemed to be cheering and calling to him.

But at that moment, a childish voice rang out in the courtyard.

"It cannot be defeated. What Emperor Ji is facing is merely a wisp of immortal soul." The Taiyin Qi permeated behind the rooster of the Rabbit Day, and a transcendent small Yin realm unfolded, from which a black robe fluttered out, like a ghost.

Little Black True Lord has arrived. His robes are stained with dragon blood and overflow with purple lightning. It can be seen that before the immortals descended to earth, he was fighting with Little Dragon Palace.

Chen Xuan turned his head and looked at him: "Master Xiao Hei".

Little Black True Monarch stared at him and said in a low voice, "Tai Xuan... just now his soul dissipated."

"Huh?" Chen Xuan was stunned. Old Zhang is dead?
The news was like a bolt from the blue. He had only been away from Qingnang for a month or so, and Old Zhang was gone, without even a final farewell?!

"The little cat from Yunmeng just saw a white expanse on Qingnang Mountain," explained Xiao Hei Zhenjun.

It sighed, somewhat caught off guard. After all, a thousand years ago, Tai Xuan's name was crossed off the Book of Life and Death in the underworld, and even the True Lord and the Immortal Palace could not see his fate.

Although everyone knew that Tai Xuan was going to die, no one expected that his death would be so sudden and so untimely.

Boom!

In the sky, boundless chaos surged, and the great battle between Emperor Ji and Immortal Lord Zhenyuan intensified, with immortal blood falling continuously, causing all realms to roar.

The five lands connected to Taixu, as well as those secret realms and minor worlds, could all witness this great battle, trembling and wailing... Was the immortal being defeated?!

……

at the same time.

In a vast, distant, dark land, amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, stands a majestic celestial palace, hurtling through the air.

"Yuheng, quickly return in your true form and kill that brat from the Ji family!" A dragon's roar echoed, accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning.

"We have been chasing for more than two months, and Shangyang Tian, ​​who has vanished without a trace, is now right before our eyes..."

"Therefore, we absolutely cannot afford the slightest mistake, lest this crucial matter be jeopardized!" A displeased voice snorted coldly: "After all, she is—the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor."

Now, almost all of the Celestial Palace's energy is focused on this major event, and the deepest darkness has spread rampantly, leaving no room for anything else.

However, today, a fire suddenly broke out in the mortal world. The Ji family rebelled against their superiors. Although they issued decrees one after another, they failed to solve the problem. Zhenyuan Immortal Lord was forced to return with a wisp of his divine soul, but he was still no match for them.

"I will be right back. Let's finish this quickly."

For the Celestial Palace, these are turbulent times.

……

Long!
"The legendary battle of immortals." On the ground, a middle-aged cultivator watched in fear as the battle unfolded in the sky.

Suddenly, a golden light of earth appeared in his eyes, and his expression froze, becoming wooden.

"Crack!"

He staggered forward two steps, his movements stiff as a clay sculpture, his body rapidly shrinking until he finally transformed into a palm-sized ginseng fruit doll, his appearance sinister and terrifying.

"May you live as long as the heavens..." This ginseng fruit baby grew rapidly and soon became an adult.

Its face twisted and transformed into the face of Zhenyuan Immortal Lord, with a sinister smile, with withered, bluish-gray skin, while its body emitted a mysterious light, and a yellowish-brown ancient Taoist robe hung down.

When Zhenyuan Immortal Lord's true form descended to the mortal world, he was handsome with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, about thirty years old, and his figure was as light as an ancient crane, having long retained the appearance of his youth.

Moreover, he has returned to his original simplicity and achieved perfect harmony, and now he looks no different from an ordinary mortal.

"Wow!"

Zhenyuan Immortal Lord chanted Taoist scriptures softly, then waved his sleeves, clearing away the dust and decay from his Taoist robe.

The next moment, the majestic divine souls that were fighting in the sky collapsed rapidly, turning into torrents and waterfalls that rushed down like rivers flowing into the sea, merging with the divine souls.

"While I'm at it, I'll also take Feixinzhai, Nanhuang... to Shangyang Cave Heaven." As he thought this, at the edge of his vision, the obsession of the Ji Emperor, driven by the Wuji Banner, charged towards him.

boom!
This time, yellowed fairy leaves drifted down from the void. Zhenyuan Immortal Lord rushed forward without using any magic. He simply struck out with his palm, and a beam of light soared into the sky, overwhelming the Three Realms and Six Paths!

Boom!
The figure of Emperor Ji was sent flying from the sky above the Central Plains to the frigid land of the Northern Underworld by a palm strike from an immortal. In an instant, he flew hundreds of millions of miles, crashed through countless ice mountains, and sank deep underground.

This attack was so terrifying that even the True Lord could not clearly see the specific details of this great battle.

The armor on Emperor Ji clanged and clattered, with the primordial energy of the earth flowing around it as he faced the enemy. Countless rays of light burst forth from the armor plates, capable of burning everything to ashes.

At the same time, the Wuji Flag shook violently, and in the Central Plains, Southern Regions, Western Lands, Northern Underworld, and Eastern Sea, the mountains and rivers took on different shapes, each outlining a grand Xuanhuang Sheji Array. The five arrays resounded together, weaving together an even more terrifying supreme array pattern, wielding the power of heaven and earth to jointly annihilate the enemy.

"boom!"

People gasped in astonishment. What a powerful attack this was! Using the entire five directions of the earth as a formation, with all the auspicious sites as the core of the formation, this strike was probably something even immortals couldn't withstand.

"Millions of years have passed, how much of your heritage remains? It's not enough to support the full revival of the Wuji Banner!" Zhenyuan Immortal Lord said coldly, not bothering to avoid it, and directly confronting the Five Directions Formation.

With a wave of his sleeve, the entire Five Directions Earth appeared to be suspended upside down in the sky, with the sun, moon, and stars below, thus shaking the foundation of the Five Directions Profound Yellow Array.

This is the technique of changing the heavens and earth and shifting stars in Zhenyuan Fa, which completely overturns all earth-element feng shui patterns.

Zhenyuan Immortal Lord, who has ruled the world for hundreds of thousands of years, how could he possibly fear a supreme weapon? Moreover, let alone the Wuji Banner being in this forced activation state, even if it were fully revived, he might not be afraid.

After all, this was the highest-ranking Earth element in hundreds of thousands of years.

Countless heroes and geniuses have passed away, but only Zhenyuan Yuheng Immortal Lord has always stood at the highest position... One Qi, one immortal, this is the highest position earned through struggle!
Throughout the entire ancient Immortal Palace era spanning millions of years, Zhenyuan Immortal Lord was the sole victor among all the Earth Virtue geniuses.

"boom!"

This was an extremely high-level battle, and few people could witness its spectacle. It was as if the long river of time had been interrupted. The battle seemed to have lasted for decades, yet it also seemed to have ended completely in just a moment.

This battle can be described as the most spectacular battle in the past 100,000 years on the five continents!
"Wow!"

In the end, the Wuji Banner dimmed, the armor crumbled, and it burned. The armor fragments formed from the Ji family's accumulated wealth exploded, filling the sky and turning to ashes. And in the flames, the figure of the Ji Emperor vanished.

In this radiant light, his last vestige of obsession crumbled, transforming into endless, dazzling rain of light.

For a time, the world fell silent. In every corner of the five directions, everyone felt a sense of sorrow. Heaven and earth seemed to sense this and expressed their compassion, and strange phenomena appeared one after another.

People knew that Emperor Ji had vanished, and the world would never again witness the supreme splendor of Emperor Xuanji.

"It's finally over." All the true lords in the world sighed. Emperor Ji wanted to become an immortal and attacked the Immortal Palace, but he could not achieve either of these goals.

Ji Xuanji used the entire Ji family as a price to once again prove to the world... the power of the Golden Core Immortals of the Celestial Palace.

This Emperor Ji went further than Tai Xuan of the Southern Region a thousand years ago, but he still lost.

The curtain fell amidst a dazzling shower of light, and a generation of emperors passed away!
"Wow!"

The Wuji Banner, having exhausted all its power, faded into a streak of light and returned to the capital of Zhongzhou. It then wrapped up Ji Youbing and prepared to flee with this most outstanding member of the Ji family, never to be seen again.

"cough!"

In the air, Zhenyuan Immortal Lord's robe was stained with blood, and he looked at everything with cold eyes. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with broken organs.

Clearly, in the battle with Wuji Banner, his true form inevitably suffered severe injuries from the Great Dao.

Ultimately, it was a supreme weapon, and the victory was hard-won.

However, he has now damaged the foundation of his Great Dao, and next, he must deal with the perverse Heavenly Emperor's daughter...

"Wow!"

Zhenyuan Immortal Lord transformed into a streak of ethereal light and went straight to the capital city, intending to take the Wuji Flag and use it for his own purposes.

"The damage must be repaired with imperial artifacts."

Everyone in the courtyard was horrified by what they saw.

"Let's go!" In an instant, Little Black True Monarch opened up a small underworld and led Chen Xuan, Yan Yushu, Ji Youbing and others away. This was the reason why it rushed to the capital.

Although the Lesser Underworld has suffered many hardships, it is ultimately the sacred site of the Holy Mother Houtu, and its unfathomable depth is no less than that of the Great Lady of the Courtesan's household.

"Where have you gone, you two?" A clear yet decaying voice echoed in the courtyard.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Little Black True Lord.

"This is bad." Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. At this moment, the eyes of the Ji family members and other cultivators around him were radiating intense golden light, and all their eyes were looking at Little Black True Monarch with the same cold gaze.

In the blink of an eye, Immortal Lord Zhenyuan descended.

Only Chen Xuan, whose own immortal energy was unaffected by external forces, and Ji, who was ill but protected by the Wuji Banner, were still able to act independently. As for the other chosen ones, for some reason, they were also unaffected.

At this moment, the entire capital city trembled, and the cold, golden gazes of all cultivators converged on this courtyard, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.

"..." Little Black True Monarch stopped what he was doing and sighed softly.

"This..." Ji Youbing's face turned pale. Above his head, the Wuji Flag trembled violently, but the six directions and eight wastelands had been sealed off, leaving him with no way to escape.

Chen Xuan was also on edge. The Mountain Spirit Goddess was about to become an immortal, and the conflict had become so dangerous that it was irreconcilable. This Zhenyuan Immortal Lord would definitely not let him go.

"Wow!"

Zhenyuan Immortal Lord stepped into the courtyard and strolled leisurely. Step by step, he walked over, and lotus flowers of the Great Dao emerged under his feet, flowing with endless Dao charm.

He walked up to Ji Youbing, stretched out a hand, and reached for the dim and lifeless Wuji Banner.

They didn't catch it.

"Buzz!"

A crimson fog descended from the sky.

A dilapidated coffin suddenly appeared, breaking through Zhenyuan Immortal Lord's earth-element technique that sealed off the six directions and eight wastelands, and appeared behind Ji Youbing.

"Snap!"

The coffin lid moved, and a crimson mist poured down from the gaps. A pale hand stretched out, its slender five claws like divine hooks, preemptively restraining the Wuji Flag.

"..."

Zhenyuan Immortal Lord frowned slightly, formed a hand seal, and continued forward, reaching for the broken coffin.

The broken coffin disappeared.

"you……"

Zhenyuan Immortal Lord tilted his head slightly, his eyes filled with doubt, and looked at Chen Xuan beside him.

Chen Xuan's heart pounded. The broken coffin appeared to his left, hovering silently. Wisps of scarlet mist drifted toward his body from the seams of the coffin.

This is the aura of a Taoist priest in mourning attire.

Xinzhai held an extremely high position, almost beyond the reach of calculations, so no one knew what was hidden inside that broken coffin.

Chen Xuan had already recognized the origin of the broken coffin.

About two years ago, in the Guyao Mountains, there was that strange coffin that Old Zhang used to contain the body of the Tai Xuan Zhenjun...

Zhenyuan Immortal Lord stared at Chen Xuan, remaining silent for a moment. A mocking smile appeared on his handsome, otherworldly face, and he uttered a sneer.

I underestimated you—
