Chapter 1618 - Strong Support

Rumble!

The Seven Killings Profound Art descended on the seal. Suddenly, an immense force erupted within the seal. Countless silhouettes of battle gods manifested on its surface, bombarding Jiang Tianyi.

“Pretty interesting. Unfortunately, it’s ridiculous that this half-baked method is trying to attack me. Break for me!” Jiang Tianyi waved his sleeves as if drawing the heavens into his grasp, attempting to engulf every battle god silhouette at once.

Chen Fan had created this seal by studying the power of the Nine Immortals Bell and fusing it with the Royal Path Divine Fist. Consequently, it possessed suppression power so strong that not even an eighth or ninth-level Immortal Platform realm expert could break it.

However, Jiang Tianyi was a Half-step Immortal King, not an Immortal Platform expert. He had already begun tempering his blood, flesh, tendons, and bones with the laws of heaven and earth to forge an Immortal King’s law physique.

Suffice to say, even the most ordinary Half-step Immortal King could slaughter a dozen or two peak Immortal Platform realm experts.

An Immortal King, as the title said, was a king among Immortals.

Although a Half-step Immortal King wasn’t a real Immortal King yet, they already had the might of one.

With a single strike, the battle god phantoms collapsed one after another, unable to block him at all. The residual force followed Chen Fan’s aura through space itself, surging toward him. Even if it could not kill him, it would leave him severely injured.

“So strong!”

Inside the cavern, Chen Fan’s piercing gaze saw everything happening outside. He sensed the force approaching through the void, and his heart sank.

He had clashed with an Immortal King before. He quickly realized that even though Jiang Tianyi wasn’t an Immortal King, the difference was dangerously small.

Chen Fan instantly tried to withdraw his power. While his seal could stop eighth and ninth-level Immortal Platform realm experts from freeing Nangong Xian, it couldn’t stop Jiang Tianyi.

The seal, which was on the verge of collapsing, suddenly erupted with blinding divine light. That power slammed head-on into Jiang Tianyi’s attack and completely overwhelmed it.

The sudden turn of events caused Jiang Tianyi’s expression to change drastically. He shouted, “Who is it?”

𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“Who dares to lay their hands on our Heavenly Punishment lineage’s disciple?” a voice rang out. “Jiang Tianyi, is it you?”

Rumble!

Suddenly, space exploded. Before the sound faded, two figures stepped out of the void. Laws gathered beneath their feet, forming a path through the air.

The first was a young man clad in dark crimson robes, as though soaked in blood. His presence was fierce, ruthless, and suffocating.

His aura surged on par with Jiang Tianyi’s. He was another Half-step Immortal King.

Jiang Tianyi’s expression darkened.

“Heavenly Punishment lineage, Dao Xu!”

Another voice followed, amused and resonant. “Good, great, excellent! To think that such a talent has emerged from our Heavenly Punishment lineage. I was shocked when I received word of this. Making the Hua Alliance kneel. Impressive, very nice! This is the making of a big shot. This encapsulates our Heavenly Punishment lineage’s prestige!”

A Daoist-looking man appeared next, wearing simple green robes. He looked no older than thirty, with a distinct unibrow that made him unmistakable.

“Wan Yimei!” Jiang Tianyi’s expression darkened even further when he saw the man with a unibrow, revealing a deep sense of apprehension.

Swish.

Chen Fan walked out of his cavern. He cupped his fists toward Dao Xu and Wan Yimei. “Greeting, Senior Brothers.”

Although all of them were disciples of the Featherlight Sect, lineage distinctions within the sect were absolute. Chen Fan, as the Heavenly Punishment Elder’s personal disciple, belonged unmistakably to the Heavenly Punishment lineage.

Wan Yimei subtly positioned himself in front of Chen Fan to guard him. He laughed and patted Chen Fan’s shoulders heavily, looking very thrilled.

“Junior Brother Chen Fan, you’re not bad at all. With only fifth-level Immortal Platform realm cultivation, you suppressed some at the seventh level easily. Haha, those losers from Hua Alliance can’t break your seal at all. This has boosted our lineage’s prestige. They provoked you first, and now they cry foul? Don’t worry. Our Heavenly Punishment lineage will back you.”

Dao Xu’s eyes gleamed with sharp excitement. His aura was unrestrained and aggressive.

Jiang Tianyi stepped forward, his gaze dark and cold.

“What did you say?” he demanded. “Your lineage’s disciple Chen Fan damaged our alliance’s reputation and prestige, and he even slaughtered fellow sect disciples in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. He is likely possessed by demons, a spy within the sect. This matter cannot end here. Are you trying to start a conflict?”

“A conflict it is,” Dao Xu replied instantly, stepping forward without hesitation. “Who’s afraid of whom? Demon possession? Reputation? All nonsense! Your alliance has always acted arrogantly, but now you want to trample our lineage? I’ve been waiting to put you in your place.”

Chen Fan was taken aback, not expecting Dao Xu to be so overbearing. He appeared young, but his arrogance was even sharper than Chen Fan’s.

“Dao Xu, what do you want? Are you courting death?” Jiang Tianyi roared fiercely, “You must give us an explanation! First, hand over Chen Fan. I suspect a demon possesses him. As a disciple of the Demon Suppression lineage, I am authorized to judge him. Second, offer compensation to our alliance. At least a million immortal stones! Then, this matter can end. Otherwise, you will not bear the consequences.”

“Hahahaha.” Wan Yimei’s voice suddenly rang out, roaring with laughter. “Is your Hua Alliance or Demon Suppression lineage crazy? Hand him over to you? Compensate you with a million immortal stones?”

“That’s right, that’s non-negotiable!” Jiang Tianyi sneered coldly, “Or we’ll escalate this matter to the Council of Elders. You will still be forced to give him up.”

“That’s right,” several Hua Alliance elders echoed. “Hand over Chen Fan and compensate us, or your Heavenly Punishment lineage will suffer.”

Dao Xu rolled his eyes and spat out a shocking sentence, “Why don’t you go eat shit?”

“What?”

“What did you say?”

Jiang Tianyi and the others were astonished, seemingly not hearing him properly. Even Chen Fan was taken aback.

These were Immortal realm experts and Half-step Immortal Kings. Harsh words were common, but vulgarities were not.

“I said, you people should go eat shit. Have a taste of it, and you won’t be getting such crazy ideas.” Dao Xu rolled his eyes again and said, “No need to be afraid, Chen Fan. Whatever comes, we’ll take it on.”
