He killed the local police officer the moment he ascended to immortality?
Facing the early-stage Immortal Lord who had completely breached his defenses, the five showed no fear whatsoever.
"Attack!" Ye Wuyang shouted coldly, taking the initiative. The Ice Glass Sword released a chilling aura, and the sword light surged towards the Archangel like a tide. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to freeze, greatly slowing down the opponent's movement speed.
"Slash!" Shen Yunzhou moved almost the instant the chill spread! Man and sword became one, the "Frost Chant" sword let out a sharp whistle, the sword intent of annihilation condensed to the extreme, turning into a gray line, piercing straight into the body of the immortal lord who was slightly slowed by the chill.
"You little devil, take this punch from your grandpa!" Ji Qianqiu roared, advancing instead of retreating, his blood and qi burning as he forcefully met the celestial lord's furious halberd strike head-on! A deafening collision resounded! Ji Qianqiu's tiger's mouth split open, blood gushing out, and he was sent flying backward, but he successfully bought Shen Yunzhou the most crucial moment for his sword strike!
"Three inches from the left rib, there's a gap in the flow of immortal energy!" Xie Chen's eyes flashed with starlight as he urgently transmitted his voice, accurately reporting the tiny flaw in the Immortal Lord's power circulation! At the same time, he flung out several interference array plates, which transformed into hazy starlight, further disrupting the Immortal Lord's divine sense!
"Burn!" Fang Li flicked her fingers, and the Chaos Fire transformed into a monstrous wave, surging into the Immortal Lord's body through the gaps in the defenses that Shen Yunzhou had cleaved open, scorching his vast immortal essence! The Immortal Lord's body trembled violently, a trace of pain and disbelief flashing across his face!
The five worked together seamlessly, their attacks like a storm, precise and deadly!
The immortal lord roared repeatedly, and with each swing of his halberd, the shadow of the halberd tore through space, its power overwhelming.
But the five of them didn't fight him head-on. They attacked and retreated immediately, using their tacit cooperation and individual strengths to continuously add wounds to him and deplete his strength.
The battle was fierce. The five were repeatedly thrown back, coughing up blood, their injuries worsening, and their spiritual energy rapidly depleting.
Ji Qianqiu's armor shattered, Shen Yunzhou's tiger's mouth split open, Ye Wuyang's face turned pale, Xie Chen's lips spilled blood, and Fang Li's arm controlling the Chaos Fire trembled slightly.
But their eyes remained cold, and their offensive continued unabated!
Finally, after the five men paid a heavy price and were almost completely exhausted, they died.
Shen Yunzhou's "Severing Fate" sword finally seized a tiny gap in the Immortal Lord's defenses and pierced through his immortal essence!
Fang Li's chaotic fire surged in instantly, scorching his internal organs!
Ye Wuyang's extreme cold sword intent followed closely behind, freezing his immortal soul!
Ji Qianqiu's battle axe, with a final roar, slammed down!
Xie Chen's array plate exploded, completely disrupting his dying counterattack!
The early-stage Immortal Lord, his eyes filled with astonishment, resentment, and disbelief, finally had his body explode under the combined attack of the five! Immortal blood rained down from the sky like a storm!
The fortress fell into a deathly silence! All the garrison soldiers were stunned!
However, before the five could even catch their breath...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deep within the fortress, several pressures far more terrifying than those of the previous immortal lord swept in!
One of them was at the mid-stage of Immortal Lord, or even higher!
"Go!" Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Wuyang mustered his last bit of immortal energy and slashed the void fiercely with the Ice Glass Sword!
"Sizzle—!" A highly unstable spatial rift was forcibly torn open!
Shen Yunzhou's sword light swept out, enveloping Fang Li and Xie Chen, who were almost unable to stand!
Ji Qianqiu roared, hoisted the most seriously injured Qilin onto his shoulder, and charged into the crevice first!
Xie Chen unleashed the last few interference arrays to block the pursuers' line of sight and divine sense detection!
Fang Li gritted her teeth and spat out the last bit of Chaos Fire backward, burning away all traces of their remaining aura!
The five people, in a sorry state, fled into the spatial rift, which closed instantly!
The next moment, they stumbled and fell out of another void.
As far as the eye could see, there was an utterly desolate landscape.
Enormous fragments of stars floated in the void, slowly colliding. A raging void swept through the shattered asteroid belt.
In the distance, the deep roar of an unknown ancient beast could be faintly heard, its aura powerful.
The spiritual energy here is pitifully thin and extremely violent; inhaling it causes a stinging sensation and is extremely difficult to refine and absorb.
"What the hell is this place?!" Fang Li thought to herself as she struggled to control the sparse spiritual energy to steady herself. "It's even more desolate than the mass grave behind my old home! And the spiritual energy is so prickly!"
System: [“Host! This is the infamous ‘Wilderness’ of the Upper Realm! It’s like… a combination of a no-man’s-land slum, a wildlife park, and a space turbulence theme park! Those guys from the Celestial Court are pampered and don’t usually like coming to this godforsaken place to eat sand!”]
"Speak like a human!" Fang Li rolled her eyes, carefully avoiding a passing rift in the void.
Tongzi coughed twice, trying to appear more serious:
"Ahem! According to my analysis, the Upper Realm can be roughly divided into these areas: the 'Three Great Immortal Domains' directly under the Celestial Court are like wealthy areas; the territories of the various immortal sects and aristocratic families are like school districts or villa areas; the area around the 'Ascension Platform' where ascendants gather is like a shantytown for migrant workers; and then there's the 'Endless Wasteland' where we are now, which is definitely a no-man's land! The Celestial Court headquarters is in the 'Pure Void Immortal Domain,' and the fortress we just encountered is a border post on the edge of the Wasteland!"
Fang Li was stunned for a moment, then her lips twitched: "...So we just ascended, and we already chopped up the local police officer and the police station chief? This is a starting point...directly a wanted criminal, exiled to a no-man's-land! Even hell difficulty wouldn't be this outrageous!"
"Host, calm down! The Desolate Region is vast! The Celestial Court's forces can't possibly cover it all in a short time! Let's hold our ground for now and heal our injuries first!"
The others were in equally bad shape.
Ye Wuyang's face was ashen; forcibly tearing through space had exacerbated his injuries. Shen Yunzhou's sword-wielding hand trembled slightly, and his tiger's mouth split open again. Ji Qianqiu gasped for breath, the muscles in his arm carrying the Qilin spasming. Xie Chen's aura was weak, and even his compass was dim and lifeless.
We must find a place to heal our wounds immediately!
The group struggled onward through the perilous wilderness, eventually finding a relatively stable, massive fragment of a star floating in an asteroid belt. Inside the fragment was a naturally formed cave with a hidden entrance.
Upon entering the cave, the five collapsed to the ground almost simultaneously. Their injuries could no longer be suppressed; blood spilled from the corners of their mouths, and their breaths became extremely weak.
Ye Wuyang forced himself to stay upright and set up several layers of ice crystal barriers to seal the cave entrance.
Shen Yunzhou sat down cross-legged, trying to regulate his breathing, but the violent spiritual energy he absorbed made him frown.
Ji Qianqiu carefully put the Qilin down, and then sat down on the ground with a thud.
Xie Chen checked the cave environment and confirmed that it was safe for the time being.
Fang Li took out the last few healing pills and distributed them to everyone.
They were temporarily safe, but resources were scarce, and their recovery from their injuries was extremely slow. Their future remained uncertain in this perilous upper realm.
