Slaying the Immortal Lord

Outside the Li Yuan Secret Realm, the originally calm and flowing chaotic void was suddenly torn apart by a tremendous force.

A massive, silver-white ship, its hull covered in celestial runes, brazenly entered this peaceful airspace.

Standing at the bow of the ship were three arrogant immortal lords clad in standard immortal armor, followed by ten powerful Nascent Soul stage "Heavenly Punishment Guards" with murderous aura and icy gazes.

The leader, a mid-stage Immortal Lord, held his chin high, channeling his immortal energy. His voice, like rolling thunder, was filled with undisguised contempt and killing intent: "You cowardly remnants of Chaos! You rats of the Fang Clan of Liyuan! Come out and die right now! Otherwise, once we break through your shell, we'll wipe out your entire clan!"

Inside the secret realm, on the main hall plaza.

Fang Qingyu's face was ashen, and he snorted coldly, "Shut up." He then raised his hand and cast a spell.

Buzz—!

The barrier surrounding the entire Li Yuan Secret Realm suddenly lit up! Countless chaotic energies surged wildly like enraged beasts, instantly transforming into hundreds of enormous chaotic vortexes!

These vortexes seemed to possess life, emanating a terrifying suction force that devoured everything. The probing celestial light and spells blasted by the celestial ships were swallowed up silently, like mud oxen entering the sea, without even causing a ripple.

The arrogant immortal lord's face stiffened, seemingly not expecting the opponent's defense to be so strange and troublesome.

"Dad! Let us go!" Fang Li took a step forward, her eyes sparkling, eager to try.

Someone delivered an experience pack to my door as soon as I cleared customs. The service was so thoughtful!

Behind her, Ye Wuyang, Shen Yunzhou, Ji Qianqiu, and Xie Chen also stepped forward. Although their auras as Immortal Lords were just beginning to take shape, they were already powerful and their fighting spirit was high.

Fang Qingyu's gaze swept over the five young people, a hint of satisfaction and scrutiny flashing in his eyes. After a moment's thought, he nodded: "Good! Let the Celestial Court see the brilliance of the new generation of Liyuan! The great formation will open a passage for you, blocking the direct attack of the enemy's warship."

A crack silently appeared in the barrier of the secret realm.

Ye Wuyang was the first to move.

He didn't even look at who the other person was before he flashed and appeared in front of a Nascent Soul Peak Heavenly Execution Guard who was forming hand seals to attack.

With fingertips together, make a casual swipe.

"seal up."

The Heavenly Execution Guard, along with the space around him, was instantly frozen in a block of transparent ice, his expression of astonishment frozen on his face.

The next moment, the ice, along with everything inside, shattered silently into fine ice crystal powder, which then dissipated.

A peak Nascent Soul cultivator vanished from the face of the earth.

Another Heavenly Guardian was terrified and frantically activated an umbrella-shaped protective immortal artifact, which emitted a dazzling light.

Shen Yunzhou didn't even draw his sword; he simply pointed his fingers together as if they were swords, and then pointed at the air.

"Break".

A thin wisp of sword light flashed past, and the umbrella-shaped immortal artifact still shone brightly, but the eyes of the Heavenly Punishment Guard beneath it dimmed instantly, its life force completely extinguished, and it fell straight down like a puppet with its strings cut.

"Roar—!" Ji Qianqiu let out an excited roar, the sound waves causing the remaining Heavenly Punishment Guards to churn with blood and qi, their souls to tremble, and their movements to freeze.

"My axe says it's hungry!" He charged into the enemy ranks like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, unleashing a simple and brutal punch!

"Bang!"

One of the Heavenly Punishment Guards, along with his armor, was instantly blasted into a cloud of blood mist by the violent force, which then splattered everywhere.

Xie Chen stood at the entrance to the secret realm, the Star Compass in his hand shimmering with light, a faint smile playing on his lips. "The stars shift and the constellations turn," he murmured softly.

Instantly, the deadly immortal techniques unleashed by the two Heavenly Punishment Guards veered off course and collided head-on, exploding with a deafening roar. The unfortunate casters themselves became the primary victims.

Fang Li's gaze locked onto one of the three early-stage Immortal Lords who were filled with shock and anger. "Little Tun Tun, guard the house!" She patted the restless little beast in her arms, took a step forward, and her Chaos Domain silently unfolded.

The immortal lord felt his abundant immortal energy instantly freeze, as if it had turned into a heavy block of lead, and he could no longer mobilize it even a little bit!

He went from being a high and mighty celestial being to a... slightly stronger mortal in an instant! Endless fear gripped him!

"No--!"

Before he could even utter a second cry, Shen Yunzhou, with perfect coordination, swept his head and body away with a single sword strike.

All of this happened too fast, like a flash of lightning.

The remaining two immortal lords were terrified and their scalps tingled with fear!

Is this guy who just broke through to the Immortal Lord realm? This power is completely wrong! It's totally beyond their comprehension!

"Monsters! They're all monsters!" one person screamed.

"Retreat! Retreat now!" another person roared frantically, no longer caring about the mission or saving face.

The arrogantly approaching Sky-Patrol Ship hastily turned around, ignoring the few Heavenly Punishment Guards still struggling in the void, its Immortal Crystal Engine overloaded and bursting with blinding spiritual light, tearing through space in a sorry state and instantly disappearing without a trace.

Outside the Li Yuan Secret Realm, silence returned, with only a few remnants of spiritual energy and blood mist slowly dissipating, testifying to what had just happened.

Within the secret realm, after a brief silence, thunderous cheers erupted! The tribesmen, seeing their young lady and the young masters so valiantly defeat the invading enemy with ease, were instantly filled with boundless joy!

"Miss is mighty!"

"Young Master Ye is so handsome!"

"Young Master Ji is so domineering!"

"Young Master Shen is amazing!"

"Thank you for your brilliant strategy, Young Master!"

Fang Li and the others returned to the secret realm, where Ji Qianqiu was still waving his fists and shouting, "Not enough! They ran off before we even warmed up! Is this all the Celestial Court can do?"

Fang Li was secretly delighted and boasted to Tongzi, "Tongzi, did you see that?! A Celestial Lord! He was defeated in one move! (Hands on hips, smugly)"

System: [Host is awesome! (voice cracks) Teamwork is perfect! (clapping) But... the experience packs are being given out a bit too fast, I haven't even leveled up my proficiency enough yet! (disdainful)]

However, on the high platform, Fang Qingyu and several family elders did not show much joy on their faces.

Fang Qingyu gazed in the direction where the ship had disappeared, his expression extremely solemn. His voice was deep and slow, suppressing the cheers of the crowd: "Don't be too happy yet. This... is just a trivial test by the Celestial Court, just a few small fry."

His gaze swept over Fang Li and the other four, filled with warning and deep worry: "Next time... what will come is the true wrath of thunder. The main force of the Celestial Court... is far superior to these small fry."

At this moment, Xie Chen, who had been deducing the compass with his head down, suddenly raised his head. His gentle face was unusually solemn. He walked slowly to Fang Qingyu and Fang Li and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, Junior Sister. I just tried to deduce the next move of the Celestial Court, but the secrets of heaven are unusually obscure and chaotic. However... there is one thing that is vaguely known."

He paused and said, "The Celestial Court... seems to be concentrating its resources to develop some kind of... ultimate weapon specifically designed to counter the power of chaos."

These words instantly replaced the joy of victory with a deeper gloom.
