Chapter 2568 Giants!

In the vast cosmos, the torrent of destruction still surged and raged, spreading outward in waves, but the distant spectators stood frozen as if their souls had fled, staring in a daze. Four Immortals, all from top-tier forces of the Seventh Heaven Domain, had been crushed to death one after another by a single pagoda?!

It was worth noting that those who remained here to witness the battle were almost all Emperor-level powerhouses. Even so, faced with such a brutal spectacle, they couldn’t help but feel a bone-deep chill. Their bodies trembled, their scalps prickled.

It was simply too terrifying. Ling Xuanzi, a successor of Fangchun Mountain, stood atop a thirty-six petaled azure lotus platform. With a horsetail whisk in one hand and a pagoda in the other, he resembled a legendary deity! Who could have imagined this?

In the hearts of many, Nan Feidu and the others were towering, peerless giants, figures worthy of reverence and awe. Now, they were dead in the cold, silent cosmos, struck down one after another. The shock was too great. Anyone who witnessed it would be left dumbfounded, shaken to their core!

“Uncle, I’ve seen him before. He appeared in the Taiyi Ruins once and even gave Evil God Dishi a beating.” Xiang Xiaoyuan said through a voice transmission, her clear eyes wide with awe. “He’s Lin Xun’s senior brother, and he’s simply unmatched, like he can do anything!”

Liuxiang Que was also visibly shaken. “A few years ago, I heard that a group of Fangchun Mountain successors had descended upon the Eternal True Realm. In just nine days, they fought their way to the Sixth Heaven Domain... But I never imagined the successors of Fangchun Mountain could be this terrifying...”

Ling Xuanzi’s effortless slaying of four Immortals, like it was nothing more than casual conversation, was so dazzling that even Liuxiang Que was left stunned, filled with reverence.

“How could this be...that’s impossible...simply impossible...”

Over on the side of the Donghuang’s Four Clans, Gu Banzhuang, Yun Luohong, and the others looked utterly stricken, like they were mourning the death of their ancestors. The blow they had suffered was so heavy, they were on the brink of collapse.

After all, even among the Immortal Imperial Clans, Immortal figures were few and far between! Now, each clan had lost one. How could they possibly accept such a loss?

The entire cosmos was in uproar, plunged into a state of immense shock.

Without a doubt, this battle had etched Ling Xuanzi’s name deeply into the hearts of all who witnessed it. No one would forget that among the successors of Fangchun Mountain stood such an extraordinary peerless figure!

On the battlefield, azure dao light flowed like ripples, radiating an immortal brilliance. Ling Xuanzi stood there, eyes gleaming with lingering excitement. He licked his lips and asked leisurely, “Little Junior Brother, do you think my strength has reached the level of slaughtering Immortals like chickens?”

The battle had ended. Lin Xun, who had remained passive throughout, was finally recovering from the oppressive tension. A wave of relief swept through him.

When he heard Ling Xuanzi’s question, he said irritably, “If it was that easy to kill then, why did you take so long? Don’t tell me you dragged it out just so I could ‘experience’ what Immortal-level power feels like.”

With his current cultivation, even if he could sense Immortal-level power, it would be like trying to see flowers through a dense fog. It would be vague and unreachable.

Ling Xuanzi chuckled, “You can’t go around slandering good people like that.”

“Enough nonsense, let’s leave.” Lin Xun said, scanning the surroundings with his deep, dark eyes. His expression was anything but relaxed. Although the Immortals from the Donghuang’s Four Clans had been wiped out, in this vast cosmos, who could say whether even greater threats were lurking?

“We can’t leave.” Ling Xuanzi’s expression turned solemn, his usual smile fading away. Staring into the distance, he said quietly, “Those four were just the appetizers. The main course is on its way.”

That calm statement sent a chill through Lin Xun’s heart. He quickly sent a voice transmission, “Can we break through to Chaotian City first?”

Ling Xuanzi was taken aback, seemingly understanding what Lin Xun was thinking, and replied thoughtfully, “It’s worth a try.”

With a sweep of his sleeve, he stowed away the thirty-six petaled azure lotus platform, then raised a hand and tore open the void. He was about to take Lin Xun and Kong Jue with him...

Right at that moment, a streak of purple sword qi flashed forth, slicing through the endless void in an instant with incredible speed.

“Hmph, couldn’t hold back any longer, could you?”

Ling Xuanzi raised an eyebrow and casually waved the Three Thousand Vicissitudes. With a thunderous boom, the incoming sword qi shattered and scattered like dust.

“Why should I hold back when facing the evil remnants of Fangchun Mountain?”

Boom!

In that moment, a pillar of brilliant purple light erupted in the cosmos, illuminating the sky. Within it, a figure emerged. It was a built man, clad in black robes and wearing an imperial crown. When his eyes opened, scenes of cosmic annihilation flickered within them. It was an utterly terrifying sight.

As he appeared, a boundless tide of immortal radiance surged forth, flooding the world and blanketing the skies. The sheer pressure made all distant onlookers stiffen, their hearts shaken, as though they were subjects standing before a sovereign. An irrepressible sense of awe gripped them.

Qi Tianlin! A peerless Immortal from the Qi Clan of the Eighth Heaven Domain!

In the distance, the crowd stirred restlessly, as if witnessing a legendary deity descending upon the world. Every face was filled with disbelief. It was said that in the Eighth Heaven Domain, Qi Tianlin was regarded as an overlord, a peerless giant who ruled over countless worlds with unmatched might!

At the same time, Ling Xuanzi’s eyes narrowed. He sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun, “Little Junior Brother, this old thing is at the Nirvana Spirit Stage. He’s not to be underestimated. Once the battle starts, take martial uncle and go. Leave the rest to me.” There was a rare gravity in his voice.

Lin Xun’s heart tightened. Nan Feidu, Gu Lingzhen, and the others were all terrifying and they were only at the Heavenly Longevity level, the first level of the Immortal Stage. What kind of monster was someone at the Nirvana Spirit level?

The moment Qi Tianlin appeared, his gaze swept past Ling Xuanzi and locked directly onto Lin Xun. His voice was cold and sharp.

“Hand over the daughter of our clan leader, and I’ll let you die with your body intact!”

It was clear that Qi Tianlin had come for Qi Lingyun.

Lin Xun replied emotionlessly, “If you retreat now, maybe I’ll let her live. But if you insist on staying, then she’ll be the first to die.”

A terrifying light burst from Qi Tianlin’s eyes, tearing open two long cracks in the void, “Little trash, do you really think capturing Lingyun lets you threaten me?”

“Then let’s see.” As Lin Xun said that, a pained groan echoed from the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron hovering above his head.

Qi Lingyun, trapped inside the cauldron, let out a pained muffled groan. Her slender figure trembled violently as cracks began to appear across her body.

“Lingyun!” Qi Tianlin’s face darkened as fury consumed him. Immortal might surged from his body like a raging sea, causing the entire cosmos to churn and tremble.

Countless Emperor-level experts were shaken so badly that they coughed up blood and fled in terror, retreating deep into the void. Even some Ancestor-level powerhouses felt the pressure and had no choice but to withdraw. The immortal might of a Nirvana Spirit expert was simply too terrifying to withstand.

“Third Uncle, don’t worry about me. As long as that bastard dies, I’ll die without regret!” Qi Lingyun’s voice rang from the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, filled with deep hatred and fury.

Lin Xun didn’t let her say another word. With a thought, he activated the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, suppressing her until she lost consciousness once more. Then turned to Qi Tianlin and asked coldly, “Are you going to back off or not?”

Qi Tianlin’s face turned ashen. It had been countless years since anyone dared threaten him, let alone a junior! Despite his rage, he didn’t dare act rashly. In his eyes, Qi Lingyun’s life was worth a thousand Lin Xuns. Losing her was simply unacceptable.

“You better step aside, old man. Unless you want to watch your clan leader’s daughter die in front of your eyes and you become the greatest sinner of your clan,” Ling Xuanzi said with a light laugh.

“You think I’ll be threatened by you?” Qi Tianlin’s voice was ice-cold and filled with menace. “I forgot to mention that part of Lingyun’s soul is preserved in the clan. Even if you kill her now, we have a way to bring her back!”

Ling Xuanzi gave a nonchalant “Oh” then said lightly, “But if it’s just a strand of soul...then even if she’s brought back, her original cultivation, foundation, and innate talent...none of that will likely return to what it once was, isn’t that right?”

When the true body was destroyed, the cultivation perished with it. Even if one was revived through a preserved soul strand, the cultivation they painstakingly honed over countless years would be gone, and they would have to start all over again.

What was worse was that without the talent and foundation of their original body, even if they embarked on the path of cultivation again, it would be near impossible to regain their former peak cultivation.

Qi Tianlin knew this all too well. His expression grew even colder and he forced himself to suppress the fury and murderous intent churning within him. “I’ll give you one chance. Release Lingyun now, and I’ll leave.”

“No, we’ll release her once we enter Chaotian City,” Ling Xuanzi replied coolly.

Qi Tianlin let out a cold, angry laugh. “What a brilliant scheme!”

Everyone knew that Chaotian City was shrouded and protected by the Haotian law spirit, a power left behind by the Eternal Divine Clans. Within its bounds, no one could act without consequence. Even immortal giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain dared not violate it.

If Ling Xuanzi and Lin Xun made it into Chaotian City, then unless the Eternal Divine Clans themselves intervened, no one in this world would be able to lay a finger on them.

“So? Do you agree or not?” Ling Xuanzi spoke impatiently. The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantages it would be for them.

Qi Tianlin felt a tight pressure in his chest, his hair bristling with rage. Just as he was about to say something—A deep, thunderous voice boomed out, “You want to enter Chaotian City? Keep dreaming!”

Each word was like a hammer of thunder, shaking the sky and causing the void to tremble. Even though they were very far away, some Emperor-level cultivators were rocked so hard they saw stars and nearly coughed up blood from the shock.

Boom!

Right after that, an old man with crane-white hair, a youthful face, and clad in golden robes appeared out of nowhere. His imposing aura was on par with Qi Tianlin’s.

Zhongli Jue! A powerhouse from the Immortal Giant Zhongli Clan of the Eighth Heaven Domain!

Upon seeing this, many of the spectators immediately retreated. Qi Tianlin alone was terrifying enough, but with Zhongli Jue now present as well, if a battle broke out, this stretch of starry sky would be obliterated without question. By then, escape would be impossible.

“You think you can stop me?” Ling Xuanzi’s eyes gleamed brilliantly and his voice brimmed with disdain. His bearing was lofty and unshaken, and even now, he exuded an unmatched and peerless aura.

“I’m here too!”

At that moment, a pair of silver wings blanketed the sky. From the depths of the void, a colossal figure of a thousand feet tall marched forward. He towered into the clouds, his feet stepping upon the stars, silver wings spread wide behind him. Immortal aura filled the air, and his eyes blazed like a pair of golden suns, illuminating the entire starry sky.

From afar, he looked like a primordial giant spirit god, striding forth from the depths of time, his voice shaking the heavens.

Chi Canghun!

A peerless powerhouse from the Immortal Giant Chi Clan of the Eighth Heaven Domain, known as Immortal Demon Lord of the Nirvana Spirit Stage. Throughout the endless years, he had slain countless enemies and stirred up many bloody storms in the Eternal True Realm!
