Chapter 797: 796

“Who are you?” Yun Zhi observed the other and sighed inwardly.

Her premonition had indeed been correct; her junior brother really did manage to provoke an unexpected high-profile individual.

Although she did not know the details of what had happened, since the Ancient Ancestor of the Long Clan was here, it probably was not unrelated to her junior brother. The same was true for this grey mist Immortal standing before her.

Fortunately, before she left, she had told their revered ancestor to seek her out if they encountered any insurmountable difficulty.

Her premonition had proved accurate.

Immortals shrouded in grey mist rarely walked in the outside world. Only beings like the Yingtian Immortal from ancient times, as well as Ao Ling, the one that got away, could draw their attention.

Now they would have to add Lu Yang to that list; it must have been Ao Ling who informed them.

One Semi-Immortal, one at the Nascent Soul Stage, they had assumed it would be an easy capture, but then suddenly a woman claiming to be the Heavenly Court Sect Master emerged, with cultivation profound enough to interact with the natural laws.

What is this Heavenly Court Sect?

Wasn’t the Fire Dynasty I annihilated aware of the Heavenly Court? Why does someone still know of it?

And if they knew of the Heavenly Court, how could they be unaware of my existence?

Within the grey mist, the Immortal frowned; he did not feel any connection of causality with this self-proclaimed Sect Master of the Heavenly Court.

The grey mist Immortal had no intention of answering Yun Zhi’s question. Right now, all he wanted was to kill Lu Yang and Ao Ling. As for this person claiming to be the Sect Master of the Heavenly Court Sect, she posed no threat.

Not to mention that he was far superior to Immortals like the Yingtian Immortal, being the preeminent figure in the path of Immortals!

“Die!”

The grey mist Immortal made a sudden move, full of the aura of destruction. Space collapsed, condensing into a blade of light that signified death and finality. Coiled with the silence of Immortal Thunder, it furiously struck at Ao Ling.

The blade of light annihilated everything; anything it touched turned to nothingness, not something that merely Devouring a Dao Fruit Outline was comparable to.

To say nothing of Ao Ling, who possessed only the body of an Immortal, even a true Immortal would not dare to take this blow head-on!

As if foreknowing the future, Yun Zhi took a step forward and appeared in front of Ao Ling. She gently pushed out her palm, causing ripples in the fabric of space.

The spatial ripples collided with the blade of light, and Yun Zhi’s gaze met that of the grey mist Immortal. A silent shockwave erupted, threatening to flatten the entire East Sea!

The East Sea trembled, mountains quaked, and waves crashed. Beings living at the edge of the East Sea didn’t know what had happened, yet they felt an inexplicable panic, as if a calamity loomed!

Those attending the birthday celebration were quaking with fear, chilled to the core. A battle between Immortals, a scene only from ancient times, was unfolding before them!

Even Meng Jingzhou, who had seen his fair share of troubles with Lu Yang, was taken aback, having not anticipated the conflict escalating to the point where Eldest Senior Sister would fight an Immortal.

The most conflicted of all, however, was the Old Dragon Emperor.

Today was his nine-thousandth birthday, yet it had started with the Three Mountains Taoist attempting to possess him, followed by the appearance of the Ancient Ancestor Ao Ling, then the arrival of the Great Qian Semi-Immortal, and the battle among the three Semi-Immortals. Now, it had escalated into a battle of Immortals.

Even with birthday surprises, there needn’t have been quite so many, he thought. He was of an age that could not withstand such shocks.

“From the looks of it, are you unwilling to concede?” The grey mist Immortal scoffed, cold with the implication that if the obstruction continued, he would not hesitate to kill her too!

As he spoke, the strength of the Immortal’s blade of light in his hand increased by a fraction.

Yun Zhi uttered four words calmly, as if she were a Fairy High Above who was detached from worldly concerns.

“Invert Yin and Yang.”

The blade of light, which originally carried the intent of destruction, suddenly burst with life and emitted a gentle glow, devoid of any aggressive force.

Rocks enveloped by the gentle light rapidly grew a layer of moss in the blink of an eye.

The school of fish was enveloped in a gentle glow, rapidly aging at an inconceivable speed.

Unlike the inversion of Yin and Yang that Lu Yang had learned, this was a bona fide Divine Ability of inverting Yin and Yang, transforming the supremely destructive light of the Heavenly Blade into a force of creation!

“What is your relation to Immortal Jiuchong!” the misty Immortal exclaimed, having seen Immortal Jiuchong use this move before.

“No relation, it’s just a common magic attack,” Yun Zhi replied in an even tone, as if what she had just done was a trivial matter.

“Above the heavens and below the earth, I alone am honored!” the misty Immortal declared, pointing one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, spewing the truth, “This world shall end!”

Suddenly, a raging inferno ignited at the other end of the sky, as red fiery clouds flared up like the gates of the underworld had opened, and scorching rain of fire fell from the sky, turning everything it touched to ash!

The night sky illuminated by the flames was like daylight, yet it appeared more harrowing than the day.

Thirty thousand years ago, it was with this move that the misty Immortal led the Fire Dynasty to its doom!

He was indeed curious to see how this Sect Leader Yun would deal with it!

Some Body Integration Realm ancient ancestors stood stunned, murmuring to themselves, “Heavenly fire descends, this is the fire of the three disasters that brings the world to its end, as told in Buddhist legend.”

Even more Body Integration Realm ancient ancestors revealed a look of despair; even with their cultivation level, just a touch of moisture would cause them to perish in the raging flames, burned to cinders.

If this rain of fire were to fall, the entire East Sea would be engulfed in flames capable of drying up its waters!

“Return the wind, reverse the fire,” Yun Zhi spoke again indifferently, uttering four words as her hand gestures changed, forming an obscure seal.

The heavenly fire disappeared, as if it had never occurred, leaving everyone bewildered, as though they had forgotten what had just happened.

Only Lu Yang, with the help of Fairy Eternity, witnessed the entire process:

As soon as the Eldest Senior Sister uttered the words “Return the wind, reverse the fire,” the heavenly fire that was about to touch the ocean’s surface retreated back to the sky, and the panicked fleeing ancestors reversed their course, returning to their original positions.

It was like watching an old movie in reverse, as the scene rewound, going back to the beginning.

A Great Divine Skill related to time, Return the wind, reverse the fire.

“Not too shabby!” After witnessing Yun Zhi’s methods, the misty Immortal remained confident, thinking that Yun Zhi was just so-so.

Yun Zhi couldn’t be bothered to speak, her steps bloomed with lotuses, as golden lotus flowers unfolded in the air, their light piercing through the long enveloping dark clouds.

Yun Zhi threw a punch without looking back, and with a crackling sound, her fist grew larger in the stunned eyes of the misty Immortal, filling his pupils.

Boom—

Yun Zhi’s fist hammered onto the face of the misty Immortal!

The speed of the punch was so fast that the misty Immortal had no time to react!

Yun Zhi punched repeatedly, aiming only for the face, curious to see what the misty Immortal actually looked like.

The misty Immortal finally realized the gap between him and Yun Zhi; his punches were powerful and heavy, as if they contained the force of countless stars, each strike felt like the cosmos smashing down on him, causing excruciating pain.

The misty Immortal’s heart was set on retreat; if this continued, not only would he fail to kill Lu Yang and Ao Ling, but even his own life would be at risk!

Under the relentless attack, the mist grew extremely unstable, showing signs of collapse at any moment, unable to protect the misty Immortal any longer.

Finally, with another heavy punch from Yun Zhi, the fog shielding the face dissipated, revealing the misty Immortal’s visage.

Standing below and using Fairy Eternity’s divine consciousness to watch the battle, Lu Yang was stunned.

He felt a rare sense of absurdity and fear.

The face was none other than that of Fairy Eternity!
