Chapter 1313: Qing and Niu Return!

The developments, one after another, shook Revered Ancient to the core, and left all people astonished. Empress Summer Departure felt bitterness. In the Moonrite Region, silence reigned. A pall had struck Sea-Sealing County. Species throughout Revered Ancient felt despair filling their souls.

Zhou Zhengli and the others sent their canon out in full force to defend against the pressure. However, their expressions were not of respect. They looked ready to kill.

All eyes were on the canopy of heaven, which was turning crimson as the ancient immortal descended!

He was an old man! His white hair had thinned so much his pale scalp was visible atop his head. He wore a shabby daoist robe that looked like it had lost its color thanks to being tens of thousands of years old. His face was cracked and weathered by the passage of so many years his skin almost looked like tree bark.

He emanated an aura of rot and poison, as if he was a living corpse that had just crawled out of the Yellow Springs. But at the same time, his aura was so terrifying it seemed capable of commanding the auras of all other living beings.

As that aura spread through Revered Ancient, all living beings were forced to incline their heads and bow at the waist. Even the gods chose not to look at him. This was power that surpassed the level of Quasi-Immortals and Altar Gods. This was the might of a Summer Immortal or a True God!

And he was no ordinary Summer Immortal. He was at the peak of Summer Immortal, just half a step from the next level! In other words, he could be called...

“Half a step into Immortal Lord!” Sir Star Ring murmured, his eyes shining.

As everyone felt despair, the ancient immortal turned his head and looked with turbid eyes at Zhou Zhengli and the others. He had hoped to avoid descending into Revered Ancient. But the developments had required that he personally interfere.

“I’ll wait here for the person you call His Majesty,” he said in a raspy voice. His eyes contained great power, but so did his voice.

Zhou Zhengli and the others trembled and even coughed up blood. All of them could sense the terrifying strength of this Summer Immortal.

Then the ancient immortal turned his attention away from Zhou Zhengli and the others. Instead... he looked toward the continent of South Phoenix. His eyes seemed to shimmer.

“I have arrived, my apprentice. Come pay respects to your Master!” His voice seemed to contain something unusually domineering, and as it echoed through Revered Ancient, it became part of the natural laws.

A huge, rumbling wind smashed into South Phoenix. There, in Seven Blood Eyes, Master Seventh began to blur. Then he disappeared from the meditation facility in his mansion grotto. When he reappeared, he had spanned the void, crossing many regions until he was in midair above the imperial capital.

His arrival caused the air to shatter. Infinite light shone out from him, spreading in all directions and causing the destiny aura of Revered Ancient to roil. Behind him floated his many past lives, which combined with him, causing his power levels to surge.

Astonishingly, one of those past lives wore an emperor’s robe, and seemed ancient and domineering. That was... the very first emperor of Revered Ancient, from long ago! That was Master Seventh’s true identity!

As the past lives returned to Master Seventh, an aura that surpassed that of Quasi-Immortal built up on him. It was the might of a Summer Immortal! And his battle spirit surged!

Unfortunately, not all Summer Immortals were the same. Though Master Seventh emanated scintillating light, as well as a readiness to do battle, in the face of the plentiful and terrifying aura of this ancient immortal, he was like a leaf floating amidst massive waves. What was worse was that there was something causing Master Seventh’s aura to deteriorate. It was something he couldn’t suppress. And yet, Master Seventh’s eyes were as decisive as ever as he looked at the ancient immortal and shook his head.

“You are not my Master.”

As he spoke, he lifted his right hand, and a spear materialized in it. Gripping the spear, he pointed it at the ancient immortal.... His battle spirit erupted! From the murderous look in his eyes, he was clearly ready to put everything on the line in a fight to the death.

It looked like fighting would break out at any moment. However, that was when the vortex that had brought Sir Star Ring and the others started rumbling again. A terrifying aura erupted from it, something that could rip everything to shreds.

The ancient immortal looked up at the vortex. Master Seventh’s eyes glittered.

Smiling, Zhou Zhengli ignored the ancient immortal, took a step forward, and bowed in the direction of the vortex!

“We offer respectful greetings, Your Majesty!” he said in a loud voice.

Sir Vilespirit, Li Mengtu, and all the others solemnly bowed as well. Even Sir Star Ring joined in.

As everyone instinctively looked over at Zhou Zhengli and the others bowing... An aura swept out that seemed like it could span the boundless River of Time. It was like a screaming tsunami that could break through all obstacles and penetrate the barriers between dimensions.

A blurry figure appeared, surrounded by that aura that seemed to be a materialized primal-chaos energy flow. Within it echoed dao reverberations. It contained the roaring of primeval beasts, heaven-sundering and earth-crushing explosions, and weeping from epochs in the past, all mixed together to create something that could terrify the soul.

Where the energy flow and the dao reverberation passed, space reacted like a flimsy piece of paper that could be ripped apart, crumpled together, and transformed into empty darkness. Even more terrifying was that as the figure emerged from the vortex, his footfalls were like millions of heavenly bodies collapsing and sending out a flow of dazzling starlight like rain.

To the shock of all in Revered Ancient, this was something that surpassed the eleven Grand Emperors and even the ancient immortal!

Powerful experts from all the species in Revered Ancient, regardless of what amazing things they had seen or what incredible things they had experienced, felt weak in the knees. Some even fell to the ground, their eyes filled with abject terror. It was as if their souls had been forcibly extracted from their bodies.

Even gods who normally could

call the wind and summon the rain

, were now sweating profusely. The gods started trembling as thēir god power went into chaos. It was as if destruction was looming right over thēm. Thēir faces were as white as a sheet of paper, and thēy felt completely powerless. Thēir life force was telling thēm on an instinctual level that the figure who was emerging from the vortex was a paramount being that thēy could not defy.

At that moment in which it seemed like doomsday had arrived, and everyone could barely breathe, Master Seventh seemed to be in a daze, and the ancient immortal had a very serious look in his eyes.

And then, a stream of light shot out from the hair of that terrifying but still blurry figure. That light arrived first! It was none other than Erniu.

Looking extremely arrogant, he loudly said, “The Qing and Niu combo is back in Revered Ancient! Hello, ladies and gentlemen!”
