Translator: 549690339

Just when all the Supremes had entered the light curtain and received the baptism of the Immortal Path, such a sudden change occurred.

Instantly, the sacred, multicolored aura surrounding the Ascension Platform disappeared completely, replaced by a chilling presence that enveloped the area.

Above the Sky Domain, a terrifying presence suddenly emerged, with a powerful silhouette appearing amidst the clouds.

It was a middle-aged man with grey hair, seated above the clouds, looking down upon the multitude of Supremes below.

His black robe draped down, as if he ruled from above the ninth heavens.

Beside him, the aura of the Immortal Path lingered.

“Who is this?”

“The aura of the Immortal Path… This is an Immortal!”

“Why has an Immortal appeared here? Who are they? What is their purpose?”

Everyone was shocked as they looked at the being above the clouds.

The entity above the clouds looked down indifferently, the corners of his mouth revealing the slightest of cold smirks.

“The Almost Immortals and Supremes of the Southern Territory have all gathered here; from this moment forward, the foundation of this realm’s path will be severed!”

His indifferent voice boomed largely, and as he raised a hand, all of the Supremes below suddenly experienced a great terror; they began to vomit blood in unison!

“No… Why can’t I control my spiritual power anymore?”

“My vitality is severely damaged… No, wait, the Immortal Spirit Qi I just inhaled is reducing my cultivation level!”

“This… this isn’t Immortal Spirit Qi at all! What in the world is this?!”

At that moment, all the Supremes were panicked.

The Immortal Spirit Qi they had greedily absorbed was now violently destroying their vitality.

Their foundation was destroyed!

“No… How could my Supreme cultivation be…”

A Supreme’s expression changed drastically as his cultivation level plummeted to the Venerable Realm!

– One may be called a Supreme upon reaching the Nine Heavens Integration, while those below it would be deemed Venerables.

But then, something even more terrifying happened.

Some Supremes fell even further, down to the Mahayana Realm!

“No… I cannot accept this, I won’t accept this!”

“… My foundation is shattered… my cultivation level!”

“What kind of devil’s curse is this… No!”

Everyone was howling in anguish, regardless of whether they were a Supreme or a Saint Master; everyone was undergoing pain!

“The light just now was not from the Ascension Platform at all; it was a trap deliberately set!”

The white-haired woman had a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of her mouth!

“How is this possible… No… no! Who exactly are you, poisoning us like this!”

Even the Evil God stared with eyes wide in horror, looking extremely frightened as he glanced at the being in the clouds.

Even he, who had one foot already on the Immortal Path, couldn’t withstand this erosion.

“Poisoning? Merely a bunch of ants.”

The being sitting above the clouds opened his icy mouth. He turned his eyes towards a certain point in the Sky Vault and said:

“Once the ants of this realm turn into my puppets, the ‘World Tree’ will become rootless, and it would be easy to obtain… Heh heh.”

A deep hue flashed in his eyes.

Below, there was nothing but wailing.

The white-haired woman too spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She looked towards the Sky Vault and shouted, “The Ascension Platform is set by the Immortal Domain; by causing chaos here, are you not afraid of angering the Immortal Domain?!”

Having spoken, she suddenly took out a Jade Vial, within which was a drop of crystal-clear blood!

That was the blood of an Immortal!

“Immortal Blood Communicates with Heaven!”

With a low roar, she furiously smashed the Jade Vial onto the Ascension Platform.

Suddenly, the Ascension Platform flashed with immortal light!

The real Ascension Platform had awakened!

“Roar—”

Immense Immortal might surged forth as if a Giant Dragon was awakening, and above the Sky Vault, it seemed as if space and time were shifting!

In the middle of the Sky Vault, the barrier between realms gradually became visible, representing an invisible chasm in the heavens!

On the other side of the barrier, a silhouette now appeared.

“Who dares disturb the Ascension Platform of the Lower World?”

An indifferent voice spread.

In an instant, all of the Supremes beneath the Ascension Platform were filled with excitement.

“This is a being from the Immortal Domain!”

“A being from the Immortal Domain has sensed this place… The Immortal Domain won’t let this person do as they please!”

“Superior Immortal, save us!”

Countless Supremes cried out loudly!

The existence behind the barrier, with lightning in their gaze, scanned the crowd below, and was taken aback upon seeing the being seated in the clouds.

“This person has set a deadly trap on the Ascension Platform, scheming against us all. Please, Immortal Domain, uphold justice!”

The white-haired woman called out loudly. Her cultivation level was declining, but her voice could still penetrate the realm barrier!

Behind the realm barrier, the figure stared at the entity above the clouds and said in a deep voice,

“Who are you? How dare you set a trap to assassinate at our Sect’s Ascension Platform!”

“Are you trying to challenge the Immortal Domain?”

His words were filled with rage.

However, the entity sitting above the clouds sneered:

“Challenge the Immortal Domain? Heh, what Ascension Platform? It’s just a small Sect Gate on the frontier of the Immortal Domain, a tool to select disciples, and you speak of the Immortal Domain?”

He indifferently revealed a profound secret.

The existence behind the realm barrier, at that moment, was furiously enraged.

“I’m going to see for myself who you truly are!”

As the voice of the existence behind the realm barrier fell, suddenly, a figure crossed the realm barrier and appeared in this Sky Domain.

He had crossed realms!

The aura was extremely powerful. It was a middle-aged man in a blue Taoist robe, staring at the entity above the clouds, he said, “I grant you death!”

As soon as he spoke, he raised his palm, bringing forth endless winds and clouds, and thunderously struck towards the entity above the clouds.

In the sky, a huge palm formed from Spiritual Power appeared, and the overwhelming Immortal Spirit Qi made countless Supremes below kneel and prostrate!

But the entity sitting in the clouds just let out a cold laugh and said, “A mere projection of a Human Immortal dares to be so arrogant?”

With a flick of his finger,

In an instant, the palm carrying endless majesty dissipated!

The blue-robed Immortal’s complexion drastically changed, and he said, “Not good… True Immortal?!”

He turned to flee, but after taking only one step, his body completely shattered, turning into streams of immortal light that dissipated on the spot.

“Pfft—”

Behind the realm barrier, a certain existence suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Don’t be so arrogant! Do you think my Sect lacks True Immortals?!”

“Call forth the Sect Master!”

The existence behind the realm barrier roared angrily, calling for aid!

It did not take long for another figure to appear behind the realm barrier!

A pair of eyes like lightning pierced through the realm barrier, landing on the entity above the clouds.

“Why do you cause trouble at our Sect’s Ascension Platform, and even attack our Sect?!”

The authoritative voice boomed!

However, the entity above the clouds sneered and said, “We are both in the True Immortal Realm, at most you can project a clone over here, thus, you have no right to speak to me.”

“Begone!”

A terse rebuke!

On the other side of the realm barrier, silence ensued!

Because what the entity above the clouds had said was true; the strong entities within the Immortal Domain, to cross the realm barrier, would pay a heavy price.

And a mere projection… was no match for the entity above the clouds.

“Sect Master, abandon these ants of the Lower World, the cost is too great,”

“Indeed, missing one realm to recruit disciples is negligible, but to truly fight across realms… we cannot afford it,”

From behind the realm barrier, the voices of Immortals faintly echoed!

Seeing this scene, all the people in the Xuantian Realm below were utterly despairing.

It’s over.

Even the entities of the Immortal Domain cannot stop it?

Are we… all doomed to die?

“I don’t want to die… why would a generation of Immortals resort to such despicable tactics against us?!”

“The legacy of the Southern Territory, it can be said, is now severed… Almost Immortals dead, Supremes lost…”

“Heavens, how could such an evil person become an Immortal?!”

They roared in anger, they wailed in grief.

The Evil God couldn’t stand it any longer; he collapsed on the ground, vomiting blood and his cultivation plummeting.

The white-haired woman’s complexion was extremely pale, and she was feeling incredibly weak, yet she turned her head to look at Fire Spirit.

“With both the Immortal Domain and the dark hand appearing, isn’t it time for… that person to take action?!”

She spoke.

Luo Ming, Hong Xuan, and others also turned to look at Fire Spirit and her companions.

All the Supremes and Almost Immortals present were destroyed by the Immortal Spirit Qi that had been absorbed into their bodies just now, but Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were completely unharmed!

Initially, Yu Qishui was spitting up blood profusely, but Fire Spirit immediately provided him with the Li Tian Divine Palace, and the Immortal Spirit Qi within Yu Qishui’s body was also instantly suppressed!

Therefore, the three of them were now the only ones in the area completely unharmed!

Seeing the Immortals appearing, Fire Spirit was already extremely shocked; hearing the white-haired woman’s words, she quickly realized and stepped forward, saying,

“Senior Li, we were prepared!”

After she finished speaking, a scroll suddenly appeared in her hand!

She slowly, unfurled the scroll!!
