Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 287: Dong Tian Zi

Liang’s eyes narrowed with suspicion as his gaze shifted to Lin Xue, who had also entered the Dragon Palace with the multiloculard ray.

Suddenly, the palace began to shake violently. A deafening, terrifying roar echoed through the halls, reverberating not just within the parallel dimension but also into the outside world.

Dong Tian Di’s eyes flickered thoughtfully as he observed the Dragon Palace, murmuring, "Could he be trying to..."

Before he could finish his thought, the palace doors creaked open once more.

From the depths of the dragon palace emerged a horrifying spectacle - a strange being, Its form was a nightmarish tapestry of flesh and scales.

Its head was a gruesome visage, a mask of human features twisted into a malevolent sneer. Its eyes burned with an black fire, and its teeth were sharpened to razor-sharp points. Its body was a grotesque patchwork of scales and flesh, each limb ending in wicked claws that dripped with a corrosive substance.

An aura of darkness and malice clung to the being like a suffocating shroud, The air grew heavy as its colossal form loomed over Liang, its gaze fixated on him with an insatiable hunger.

Outside the parallel dimension, the experts erupted into an uproar as they witnessed the horrifying fusion of Lin Xue and the dragons.

"What is that monster?!" exclaimed one Paragon in disbelief.

"It’s the fusion of Lin Xue and his dragons!" gasped another. "He’s desperate!"

The realization dawned on them: Lin Xue was attempting a forbidden technique, a last-ditch effort to regain the upper hand. A technique that could potentially enhance his power to unimaginable heights but at a dire cost.

"This is madness!" shouted an elder. "He’ll lose himself to that creature!"

"Indeed," agreed one of the Runic Mastery experts, "The fusion of three or more runes is a dangerous gamble for ordinary experts, even for the most experienced of practitioners. To fuse with seven runes is...unprecedented."

The experts shared a look of dread, knowing the potential consequences. While the parallel dimension might shield Lin Xue’s physical form from harm, it offered no sanctuary for his mind. The gravest outcome would be him descending into madness, a prospect that sent shivers down their spines.

Inside the parallel dimension, Liang stood his ground, his eyes locked on the approaching monster with a sharp, calculating gaze.

"I never anticipated he would resort to such lengths," Liang muttered under his breath, Regret brushed his thoughts, "Perhaps I should have dealt with him sooner."

With a decisive shake of his head, Liang dismissed the lingering self-reproach. He raised his hand, summoning the Absolute Ice Rune. A chill permeated the air as intricate, frost-laden rune materialized.

From his forehead, the Voidforge Rune emerged and his armor dissolved seamlessly into tendrils of energy, reconstructing themselves into the Abyssal Armament Armour.

"Let’s put this new array to the test," Liang muttered, his voice dripping with anticipation. After a year in the Origin Space, he had successfully mastered various arrays, yet the Quintessential Dragon Array remained his most formidable weapon.

In an instant, three complex runes shimmered into existence, aligning themselves with perfect precision to create a powerful formation before him. Darkness began to coalesce, tendrils of shadow weaving together to take a tangible form. Within moments, a massive, dark blue ring materialized, its presence commanding and almost otherworldly.

The surface of the ring was encrusted with intricate void runes, The dark blue hue of the ring seemed to absorb the surrounding light, giving it an eerie, ethereal glow.

"Absolute Stillness Ring," Liang whispered, his eyes reflecting the magnificent creation before him.

As the Absolute Stillness Ring materialized, the monstrous dragon let out a deafening roar that shook the parallel dimension.

Liang’s eyes narrowed as he unleashed the power of his new array. Void runes flickered and flowed across the ring’s surface, creating a barrier of absolute stillness that enveloped the surrounding space.

The monstrous dragon charged forward, its claws dripping with corrosive venom. However, upon entering the ring’s radius, it found itself trapped in an invisible cage. Its movements became sluggish.

"Open" Liang waved his hand commanding the ring.

The Absolute Stillness Ring constricted, its dark blue surface glowing with an ethereal light as it began to slowly squeeze and compress the monstrous dragon within its grasp.

Liang watched impassively as the creature struggled against the inexorable pressure, its roars growing weaker with each passing moment.

Within the confines of the parallel dimension, the monstros dragon form began to dissolve, its flesh melting away into a viscous black ooze. The bones crackled and shattered, their fragments turning to dust as the once-formidable creature was reduced to nothingness.

Lin Xue’s consciousness, now severed from its physical form, found itself ensnared within a void of impenetrable darkness. Panic surged through him, as his voice echoed in the emptiness, "Where am I?"

Everywhere he looked, there was only the endless expanse of darkness. He had lost contact with his runes and his soul, yet he felt certain that he was not dead.

Outside the parallel dimension, Dong Tian Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly. Without hesitation, he waved his hand, tracing an intricate pattern through the air. Instantly, the entire parallel dimension shattered like fragile glass, and the two combatants appeared below the stage.

Returned to the outside world, Lin Xue let out a deep sigh of relief. That had been the most terrifying experience of his life. It felt as though his consciousness had been cast into another dimension of stillness and darkness.

It was fortunate that this ordeal occurred within the parallel dimension. Had it happened in the real world...

His gaze turned sharply to Liang, who was already walking back to his seat without sparing him a glance. The anger inside Lin Xue did not dissipate with his defeat; it had transformed into a seething, cold hatred.

Liang had humiliated him and had even attempted to annihilate his consciousness.

Without a doubt, if Elder Tian Mu hadn’t intervened, Lin Xue would have remained trapped in that void until his consciousness eroded away entirely. Emerging from the parallel dimension as an empty soul was no different from being killed.

Breathing deeply to steady himself, he walked back to his seat, his fists clenched tightly.

"I hope I didn’t miss the whole competition."

The sudden, commanding voice startled everyone. A handsome man, clad in an ornate purple robe, appeared at the entrance of the secret realm.

"Tian Zi," murmured many experts, eyes flickering with surprise and recognition.

Dong Tian Zi is the eldest son of Dong Wang and the elder brother of Dong Xian’er.

Dong Tian Zi raised an eyebrow and looked towards Elder Tian Mu, who responded with a courteous nod.

"Tian Zi, you are fortunate. Had you been a moment later, you would have missed this crucial opportunity," Dong Tian Di remarked calmly, his eyes locking onto Tian Zi with a steady gaze.

Missed the chance?

Whispers rippled through the crowd, confusion etched on their faces as they exchanged puzzled glances.

"Tian Zi has been on a vital mission assigned by the patriarch himself," Dong Tian Di announced with an air of gravity, his words hanging in the air as he turned his attention to the twenty participants. "The patriarch decreed that if Tian Zi returned in time, he would be permitted to challenge one of you. Should he emerge victorious, he will claim their seat."

The onlookers murmured among themselves, nodding in agreement. Given the importance of Tian Zi’s mission, it was only natural for the patriarch to grant him such a privilege. No one voiced any objections.

"Now, Tian Zi, who will you challenge?"
