Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree
Chapter 528 - 499: You Are Not a Quasi-Immortal!
"Just a single Demon Venerable Xuan Yin from the Cyan Yang Divine Court wishes to annihilate my Divine Eye Empire, it’s simply laughable. Today, I shall first slay this man, and then destroy the Cyan Yang Divine Court!"
Prince Halid’s eyes were indifferent, filled with chilling murderous intent as he gazed at Demon Venerable Xuan Yin. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin had slaughtered countless armies of the Divine Eye Empire in the Sun Star System, and there was no way the opponent could leave alive.
Now, battle reports are coming in from other star systems too, with forces from all sides trying to take this opportunity to carve up the Divine Eye Empire.
The one causing this entire situation is precisely the person before me.
Therefore.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin must die.
Once the opponent is slain, the Divine Eye Empire can destroy the Cyan Yang Divine Court, and all invading forces must pay the price for this.
The dignity of the lord of the starry sky cannot be insulted!
At this moment.
The vast fleet had already launched an attack on Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.
The battleships from the Merak Star System constituted the true elites of the Divine Eye Empire, equipped with weapons at the peak level that the Divine Eye Empire could mobilize.
The void trembled.
The energy light cannon devoured everything.
The area spanning billions of miles turned to dust under this strike; countless stars and planets were annihilated and fragmented, and even a level nine powerhouse stood no chance of surviving this attack.
Just when others were thinking that Demon Venerable Xuan Yin would fall, a shocking bloody blade light tore through the heavens and the earth, seemingly visible across the entire Sun Star System with its razor-sharp brilliance.
"Boom!"
The endless sword gang shattered the great Dao, slashing mercilessly toward the army.
Before the sword gang actually reached their bodies, hundreds of thousands of battleships could not withstand this powerful force fluctuation and shattered and disintegrated.
Many mechas within these battleships couldn’t escape in time and perished alongside them.
With that one strike.
The fleet suffered heavy losses.
Prince Halid, who had been calmly seated in the central command, saw this scene and his previously composed demeanor vanished completely.
"Insolence!"
With a single step, an immense Dharma Aspect materialized, resembling a titan supporting the heavens and the earth, its massive hand like a mountain, shattering the endless void and slapping down toward the sword gang.
This strike.
Prince Halid held nothing back.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s ability to dismantle the army’s attack and cleave through hundreds of thousands of battleships with one strike presented an unprecedented threat to this top powerhouse of the Divine Eye Empire.
Therefore, the moment he acted, Prince Halid resolved to use all his strength.
"Boom!"
Just as Prince Halid was confident that he could block the power of this strike, he realized it was much more terrifying than he had imagined; even with his full force, he couldn’t withstand the might.
In an instant.
The Dharma Aspect hand shattered.
The relentless sword gang continued its advance, causing Prince Halid’s expression to change dramatically. In haste, he summoned a protective Supreme Treasure to defend himself, but in the next moment, even this treasure shattered.
"Boom——"
His body flew across the void, blood splattering everywhere.
In just one clash, Prince Halid was defeated, a ghastly wound appeared on his body, with lingering blade qi and dao rhyme like maggots in the bones, halting the recovery of his injuries.
"Die!"
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s eyes were cold as he crossed the endless void in a step, swinging the Blood Shadow Demon Blade down at Prince Halid.
He’s merely a Quasi-Immortal.
In the past, he would have had to treat him carefully.
But now.
He could just destroy him outright.
In the face of a true Immortal, a Quasi-Immortal was just a slightly stronger ant.
"Save me!"
Seeing the blade light approaching, Prince Halid could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, hastily crying out for help.
The moment he finished speaking, a duster transformed into billions of silver threads, tearing through the layers of void, aiming for Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s back.
Seeing this.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s expression remained unchanged. As he swung the knife initially aimed at Prince Halid back in a sweeping move, the billions of silver threads shattered completely, and with a muffled groan, a figure fell out of the void.
The intercessor was none other than Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable.
He had assumed that with Prince Halid’s strength, even if he couldn’t match Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, he could at least contend against him. But when the battle truly unfolded, the situation escalated beyond Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable’s expectations.
Prince Halid was defeated.
And it took only one exchange for him to be brought low.
Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable had no choice but to intervene personally to save Prince Halid from the opponent’s blade.
Otherwise.
Prince Halid might have already fallen.
Looking at the broken duster in his hand, Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable’s eyes revealed a trace of heartache—this was a Supreme Treasure he had painstakingly refined and nurtured over the years, now heavily damaged in just one face-off. How could he not feel the pain?
"This humble Daoist is Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable, pleased to meet you!"
Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable cupped his hands in a bow, a warm smile on his face, wholly hiding the coldness he had shown in the battleship moments ago.
The power that Demon Venerable Xuan Yin revealed made him deeply apprehensive.
"Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable?"
"A mere Quasi-Immortal dares to presumptuously claim the title of Immortal Venerable, truly not knowing the meaning of life and death!"
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s expression was mocking, and his gaze toward Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable was filled with disdain. Only in the Lower Realm could one act so brazenly as this.
In the Upper Realm, not just anyone had the qualification to call themselves an Immortal Venerable.
Only sufficiently powerful cultivators could be worthy of the title Immortal Venerable. How could a small cultivator who hasn’t become an immortal deserve the title of Immortal Venerable?
One sentence.
The smile on Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable’s face froze suddenly.
He thought he had given Demon Venerable Xuan Yin enough respect, but the latter openly insulted him, causing profound dissatisfaction in his heart.
"You..."
"Why waste words? Let your strength speak, and let me see just how much power this so-called Immortal Venerable truly has!"
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin slashed down with one swing, forcing back all the words Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable wanted to say. The terrifying blood-colored blade light tore through the heavens and the void, with extreme killing intent spreading widely, causing the latter’s expression to change drastically.
Retreat!
This was Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable’s first thought.
But he quickly realized that the blade light’s speed was too fast, and even if he wanted to retreat, it was completely too late.
Seeing this.
Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable had no choice but to counterattack, flinging out the remaining half of his duster, the powerful spiritual power manifesting a Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect to collide with the bloody blade light.
"Boom!"
The Dharma Aspect shattered.
The relentless blade light struck fiercely on Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable, sending him hurtling out instantly.
His robe was stained with blood.
A ghastly wound marred his chest.
Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable’s face was ashen, and his gaze toward Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was as if he had seen the impossible.
"You’re not a Quasi-Immortal!!"
Profound Celestial Immortal Venerable was absolutely confident in his strength, knowing that even if there were stronger beings among his peers, it would be impossible to be heavily wounded in just one exchange.
If the opponent wasn’t a Quasi-Immortal, then only one possibility remained.
The person before him.
Was a true Immortal!
