Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 377 Invincible
That was the "Supreme Goodness Like Water Realm," a protective barrier formed by water-based true energy. The spiritual energy in this realm was exceptionally abundant, far surpassing that of the mainland, enough to support a magic array.

Xu Yunfan rode the waves, and the weak water beneath his feet parted on its own. When the poisonous mist touched the dragon scales on his body, it hissed and then melted away like snow meeting the blazing sun.

The beautiful woman in charge of Penglai Pavilion stood on the highest point of Tingchao Pavilion. With a slight lift of her fair hand, the entire sea suddenly boiled.

"Young Master Xu, why must you be so ruthless?"

The beautiful woman gently raised her hand, her body radiating a deep blue aura. Her voice rose and fell like the tides: "Young Master Xu, our Penglai Pavilion is willing to offer three bushels of Weak Water Essence and ten doses of Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Marrow. In addition, we will present the Cangming Water-Dividing Dagger, an eighth-tier divine weapon left by our ancestor. This is a treasure that a senior of the Land Immortal Realm once used to roam the four seas. It was taken from the hands of the extraterrestrial demons and is extremely wondrous."

Her eyes shimmered with tears, her sleeves hanging low. "Can we let this matter rest here?"

Before the words were even finished, the entire Penglai Island trembled violently.

Seventy-two black iron array pillars rose from the seabed, and the Zhou Tian Water Array was fully activated, causing wind and thunder to surge between the sea and the sky.

A hundred-foot-high, deep blue tsunami crashed down like a collapsing sky, with vast, surging water-based true energy appearing within its crests.

The towering wave suddenly split in mid-air, transforming into nine gleaming, scaled dragons of the Xuan Shui. Each dragon scale was formed from water-based true energy compressed to its limit, and the dragon claws were entwined with the poisonous mist of the Weak Water. This was the highest level of the sect's ultimate technique, "Nine Dragons Stirring the Sea."

Xu Yunfan could see it clearly. No wonder Penglai Pavilion had been willing to hide on the island for thousands of years. Penglai Island was so rich in spiritual energy that even the ancient array was still functioning properly.

"Unfortunately, if it were your Penglai Pavilion's founder who were to operate this formation, I would turn around and leave without saying a word."

Xu Yunfan sneered and said no more. His Ten Extremes True Qi exploded into a circle of crimson-gold ripples under his feet. Instantly, the Weak Water surged back, revealing the stark white bones that had accumulated on the seabed for thousands of years.

These are the remains of martial artists who have trespassed on Penglai over the past century.

Upon seeing this, the beautiful woman's pupils constricted, and all the tokens in her hand exploded, as the nine dragons roared and pounced down!

Xu Yunfan slammed his hammer into the sea, the immense force creating a hundred-foot tsunami that shattered the waterspout.

The beautiful woman coughed up blood and flew backward, and the island base began to collapse.

The sea suddenly exploded, and a colossal creature burst forth from the waves. It was the Sea-Suppressing Envoy raised by Penglai Pavilion, now fully revealing its demonic form.

This deep-sea monster was three zhang tall, its entire body covered in bluish-black scales, each scale gleaming with a cold, eerie luster and sharp as a knife at the edges.

Its head resembles a dragon but is not; three twisted bony horns grow from its forehead, and six gill slits split open on its cheeks, exhaling foul-smelling poisonous mist with each breath.

Below its thick neck, four deformed, sharp claws were spread out menacingly, with webbed membranes connecting the fingers, and dripping eerie green venom that corroded the seawater from the claw tips.

The most terrifying thing is its huge tail covered with barbs, which can stir up a huge wave when it sweeps across.

"Roar!"

The demons roared deafeningly and charged forward, bringing with them a storm of blood and gore.

Xu Yunfan didn't even lift his eyelids. His right hand shot out like lightning and precisely gripped the thick, scale-covered throat.

"Pfft!"

The Ten Extremes True Qi flowed through the five fingers and into the demon's seven orifices, causing the demon's scales to burst open instantly.

Its enormous body expanded rapidly like an inflatable sack, and the crimson-gold true energy could be clearly seen flowing wildly beneath its bluish-black skin.

The demon's eyes bulged out, its bones and horns broke, and finally...

"boom!"

Blood mist exploded everywhere, and bits of flesh and bone mixed with poisonous blood splashed onto the sea, turning the surrounding area a dark green.

Xu Yunfan shook off the sticky demon blood from his hands and watched indifferently as the still twitching half of the giant tail sank into the sea.

The Pavilion Master roared, and nine chilling black iron chains shot out from his sleeve—the very Nine Nether Cold Iron Chains, the sect's treasured weapon. Like venomous dragons emerging from their lair, the chains instantly wrapped around Xu Yunfan's feet, their biting cold freezing the surrounding seawater into solid ice.

"Crack!"

Xu Yunfan's toes trembled, and his Ten Extreme True Qi erupted like a volcano, causing the cold iron chains to snap in two.

The fragments rained down, instantly piercing through the sect leader's chest, causing blood to splatter three feet high.

As the Pavilion Master staggered to his knees and coughed up blood, five gaunt figures suddenly rose from the shadows of the broken pillars of the hall. They were none other than the Supreme Elders of Penglai Pavilion who had been living in seclusion for many years.

They had been lying in wait for a long time, their water-based true energy and the Weak Water Poison Mist perfectly blended together, and even their breathing and heartbeat had dropped to the state of a tortoise's breath. But now they were like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, and five Water-Dividing Thorns, which were coated with the Weak Water Poison, went straight for Xu Yunfan's vital acupoints in the back!

"laugh!"

Just as the cold light was three inches away from Xu Yunfan's back, the Ten Extremes True Qi on his back suddenly boiled and solidified like molten gold.

A wall of crimson gold energy appeared out of thin air, forcefully blocking the deadly sharpness of the five water-splitting daggers. The poisonous blades collided with the energy wall, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound and sparks flying everywhere.

The five elders were shocked. Their "Turtle Breath Concealment Technique," which they had painstakingly cultivated for a hundred years, had been seen through in a single glance!
Even more terrifying, the crimson-gold wall of energy not only blocked the attack, but also sent a devouring force in the opposite direction. The weak water poison tempered on the Water-Dividing Thorn was being assimilated and absorbed by the Ten Extremes True Qi at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is definitely not the method of the ninth level of martial arts!"

The elder's throat bobbed, and his withered wrist had been cracked in the tiger's mouth by the force of the recoil.

Their lifelong belief in the principle of "the highest good is like water, which benefits all things and overcomes the strong with gentleness" seems utterly laughable in the face of absolute power at this moment.

Xu Yunfan suddenly turned his head and grinned, revealing his teeth: "A bunch of old turtles, finally willing to show their faces?"

A sliver of space suddenly appeared in the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye between his brows, instantly revealing the exact trajectory of the five elders' sneak attack.

Xu Yunfan did not move, but a martial arts dharma image appeared behind him, and suddenly extended five crimson gold arms formed from true qi.

"Martial Arts Dharma Appearance?!"

The elders were shaken. They recognized how similar the Dragon-Tiger Celestial Venerable that the Xuanzhen Sect had once condensed was, but in terms of solidification, it was no match for Xu Yunfan.

Five arms gripped their throats with precision, like predatory dragons.

Five fingers, like hooks, gripped the crown of the head, while the ten extreme true qi transformed into the gaping maw of a gluttonous beast.

"Ugh!"

Before the five Grandmasters of the Ninth Realm could even make a move, their true energy was drained away like a flood bursting its banks.

In the blink of an eye, the five mummified corpses collapsed to the ground, and a sea breeze blew them away, turning them into dust.

Xu Yunfan lowered his hand, turned around, stepped over the dust on the ground, and slowly walked towards the dying Penglai Pavilion Master.

The Pavilion Master collapsed beside the shattered black iron chains, blood gushing from a piercing wound in his chest. His once dignified face was now as withered as paper.

As Xu Yunfan approached, she trembled as she raised her bloodied fingers, her lips parting to utter a weak plea: "Spare my life. A thousand years at Penglai Pavilion."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yunfan had already reached out and grabbed his crown.

The Ten Extremes True Qi burrowed into his seven orifices like a venomous python, causing the Pavilion Master to tremble violently. His pupils reflected Xu Yunfan's cold face, a face devoid of any pity, only filled with gluttonous greed.

Xu Yunfan said, "A powerful enemy from beyond the realm is approaching. I'll borrow your true energy to help resist them. That would be a meritorious act for you. Ten people working together is not as good as one person working together. I think you'll understand."
