At this moment on the Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain, over a hundred figures were using the protruding rocks on the mountain body, moving upwards with the speed of lightning.

These hundred figures were all Immortal Emperor Realm Experts.

Normally, with the strength of these Immortal Emperor Realm Experts, flying up to the ten thousand zhang high mountain peak would only take an instant.

But under the vast pressure released by the Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain, the flying ability of these Immortal Emperor Realm Experts was greatly restricted. Being able to leap upwards a hundred zhang at once was the limit.

Among the hundreds of thousands of immortals gathered around the Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain this time, the vast majority were Immortal King Realm Experts. While they also coveted the Chaos Lotus at the summit of the Holy Mountain, they understood themselves well and dared not hope to obtain even a piece of the Chaos Lotus, choosing instead to sit honestly around the Holy Mountain, bathing in the fragrance of the flowers to cultivate for a while. If they achieved any enlightenment, it would be a great gain.

As for the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts moving upward like lightning at this moment, their target was precisely the Chaos Lotus at the summit of the Holy Mountain.

The higher the cultivation level of an immortal, the harder it is to advance. These Immortal Emperor Realm Experts knew absorbing the fragrance around the Holy Mountain to cultivate would not reach the use for breakthrough advancement in a short time, so they all locked their target on the Chaos Lotus at the summit of the Holy Mountain.

Legend has it that obtaining a segment of root, a leaf, a petal, or a lotus seed from the Chaos Lotus may directly lead to a breakthrough advancement, making this shortcut irresistibly attractive to those Immortal Emperor Realm Experts.

Although the difficulty of obtaining the stem and leaves of the Chaos Lotus was immense, every Immortal Emperor Realm Expert had strong confidence in themselves, feeling capable of achieving it.

Thus, while other tens of thousands of Immortal King Realm Experts absorbed the floral fragrance with crossed legs, these hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts nourished themselves, then began to leap towards the summit of the Holy Mountain, their target directly set on the Chaos Lotus.

The dual pressure released by the Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain and the Chaos Lotus was mighty and vast. The more the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts moved upwards, the greater the pressure they bore. Initially, they could leap a hundred zhang high, but later they could only inch upwards like crawling snails.

Moreover, resisting the pressure from heaven and earth consumes a great deal of Immortal Qi, so every time they ascended a certain distance, they needed to stop and adjust their breath for a while. As a result, when Fang Bai finished his eighty-one days of concentrated cultivation and ended his cultivation state, none of them had yet reached the summit of the Holy Mountain.

Fang Bai came to the Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain with aspirations for the Chaos Lotus as well.

But he knew obtaining the Chaos Lotus was not easy and did not rush to leap towards the summit. Instead, he chose to cultivate around the Holy Mountain for eighty-one days to enhance his own strength.

Now that cultivation had ended, Fang Bai’s gaze also began to shift towards the Chaos Lotus on the Holy Mountain summit.

Seeing the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts getting closer to the summit, Fang Bai’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

"It’s not that easy to reach the Chaos Lotus!"

Fang Bai murmured to himself.

At this moment, the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts, the closest one to the summit was only about a thousand zhang away. At this speed, in a few days, he can reach the summit and capture the Chaos Lotus.

That Immortal Emperor Realm Expert imagined the whole Chaos Lotus could be picked by him, feeling exceedingly proud. He looked back and saw that he had left the other Immortal Emperor Realm Experts behind by some distance, feeling excited beyond control and unable to help but let out a long cheer.

"That complacent fellow is likely to be unlucky!"

Fang Bai used his Divine Sense to lock onto the complacent Immortal Emperor Realm Expert who let out the cheer and began to mourn for him.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

...

Several thunderous roars exploded on the summit of the Holy Mountain, instantly drowning the exuberant cheer of the Immortal Emperor Realm Expert. Sound waves rolled like a tsunami, crashing onto the eardrums of hundreds of thousands of immortals around the Holy Mountain, making their heads spin dizzily.

The void around the Holy Mountain also rippled under the impact of the sound waves, spreading and expanding towards the surroundings.

The hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts leaping towards the summit were stunned by the sudden roars, halting their figures and raising their heads to look upwards. At the same time, they released their Divine Sense to probe the situation above.

Above the mountain, around the Chaos Lotus, there were four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts guarding the four sides. The one that issued the roaring sound was a Golden Furred Tiger with a body several zhang long.

The other three directions were respectively occupied by a coiled Azure Dragon; a Fire Qilin bathed in flames; and a Black Hawk standing proudly.

Whether it was the Golden Furred Tiger, Azure Dragon, Fire Qilin, or Black Hawk, all were giant Immortal Beasts with High Rank Immortal Emperor Realm Cultivation Level. Though they had not yet launched an attack, merely standing there loftily and staring with cold eyes at the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts brought immense pressure to them.

The hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts had incomparable eyesight and immediately saw that the four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts appearing on the summit of the Holy Mountain possessed extraordinary bloodlines, their combat power several times stronger than immortals of the same realm.

Among the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts, most were of initial mid-level, and only a few were High Rank Immortal Emperor Realm experts. Facing the four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts with formidable bloodlines, fear crept in, and cold sweat started appearing on their backs.

"Should we continue advancing or retreat now?"

"We barely made it here, retreating now would mean all previous efforts were in vain?"

"Although those four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts are formidable, we have over a hundred Immortal Emperor Realm experts here, giving us an absolute numerical advantage!"

"If we unite in force, we might drive back the four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts!"

"Every part of the Chaos Lotus is a treasure aiding advancement, be it root, stem, branch, leaf, flower, or lotus seed, we can divide it equally among ourselves later!"

...

The hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts knew well if they fought individually, no one could break through the defenses formed by the four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts to capture the Chaos Lotus, so their thoughts churned rapidly, leading to this decision.

Thus, they quickly communicated and soon reached a consensus.

"Let’s attack from all directions simultaneously. You guys distract the four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts while I find an opportunity to break through and capture the Chaos Lotus. Then we can all leave swiftly together!"

An High Rank Immortal Emperor Realm Expert transmitted this plan to the others.

So the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts activated their Immortal Law, accelerating their ascent and simultaneously summoned their Immortal Artifacts, charging toward the four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts.

The four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts atop the Holy Mountain summit looked down upon the hundred advancing Immortal Emperor Realm Experts, their eyes, gleaming with essence, showing deep disdain.
