"Attack!"

At the shout of a high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm Expert, the remaining hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts simultaneously unleashed their Immortal Artifacts, attacking the four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts.

Immortal Emperor Realm Experts are immensely powerful, dominant figures in the Immortal Realm. When a hundred such experts launch an attack with Immortal Artifacts, it can generate earth-shattering might, something even the Immortal Emperor would not dare to underestimate.

However, all the Immortal Emperor Realm Experts were aware that those four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts had incredibly strong physiques and astonishing defensive abilities. The effectiveness of the Immortal Artifacts against them was uncertain, and even if they hit, they may not cause significant harm.

Moreover, it was rumored that the Chaos Lotus at the summit had self-defense capabilities. The four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts were very close to the Chaos Lotus, and if the attacks from the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts triggered its self-defense, the difficulty of harvesting it would greatly increase.

Nonetheless, the countless Immortals didn’t ponder much. Their current goal was to drive away the four Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts guarding the Chaos Lotus, leaving other concerns for later.

At such a High Rank realm, Immortal Birds and Beasts become extremely cunning. When faced with conflict, knowing they are outmatched, they would never confront head-on to suffer in vain, instead choosing to evade, retreat, or even counter-attack using other forces.

Hundreds of Immortal Artifacts soared into the void, instantly enlarging tenfold, hundredfold, crashing down like small mountains, wave after wave. Even before the Immortal Artifacts hit, the terrifying pressure had already descended.

The four Immortal Birds and Beasts swiftly retreated before the hundred Immortal Artifacts fell, closing in around a hundred feet away from the Chaos Lotus, surrounded by Immortal Qi, forming a thick defense Qi Shield.

If it were an ordinary mountain, just the horrifying pressure from such an onslaught of Immortal Artifacts by a hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts could shatter the rocks.

However, the Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain remained unmoved, unaffected by the pressure of those Immortal Artifacts due to the presence of the Chaos Lotus, even the seemingly fragile vegetation at the summit stood firm.

When the hundred Immortal Artifacts were still dozens of feet away from the summit, the bloom of the Chaos Lotus suddenly emitted brilliant five-colored rays of light, transforming into a massive light shield encompassing a hundred-foot radius around including the four Immortal Birds and Beasts.

"Boom!"

The hundred Immortal Artifacts, whether slicing, slashing, piercing, or smashing, carried immense Immortal Might, crashing down in waves, yet failed to break through the light shield created by the five-colored rays, instead being rebounded by the shield’s force, flying into the surrounding air.

"How is this possible?"

"That light shield is so solid!"

"With the combined attack power of a hundred Immortal Emperors, even an Immortal Emperor cannot withstand it, right?"

"The Chaos Lotus, true to its name!"

...

The hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts were shocked, extending their hands to summon their respective Immortal Artifacts back.

The first wave of attack was ineffective, but the Immortal Emperor Realm Experts were not discouraged, instead discussing strategies, amassing strength, planning the next wave of attack.

Soon, the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts split into two teams. One team continuously launched attacks with Immortal Artifacts, forcing the four Immortal Birds and Beasts to remain within the light shield, while the other team continued to ascend, preparing to reach the summit before figuring out how to deal with the four Immortal Birds and Beasts.

A day later, fifty Immortal Emperor Realm Experts first stood atop the Treasured Lotus Holy Mountain, encircling the four Immortal Birds and Beasts.

The remaining fifty Immortal Emperor Realm Experts also then ceased attacks, moving upward.

Without external threats, the Chaos Lotus stopped emitting five-colored rays of light, the encompassing light shield disappearing subsequently.

The four Immortal Birds and Beasts, now without the shield’s protection, began to directly face the numerous Immortal Emperor Realm Experts.

The Immortal Emperor Realm Experts also showed cunning, knowing that once they attacked again, the Chaos Lotus’s self-defense would be triggered, thus deciding to surround but not attack, confronting the four Immortal Birds and Beasts.

Immortal Birds and Beasts are mostly violent and lack patience, unable to stand confrontation for long before initiating attacks themselves. Once they leave the Chaos Lotus’s protective range, the joint effort of the Immortal Emperor Realm Experts might drive them away from the summit, allowing the Chaos Lotus to be harvested.

Soon, the other fifty Immortal Emperor Realm Experts also reached the summit.

Hundreds of Immortal Emperor Realm Experts, looking at the Chaos Lotus not far behind the four Immortal Birds and Beasts, with eager eyes and shimmering glints, tightly gripped their Immortal Artifacts, itching to act.

"Fellow Immortals, let’s not be impatient! The Treasured Lotus Flower blooms for ten years, let us surround but not attack, and test their patience! I do not believe the four Immortal Birds and Beasts can confront us unmoving for ten years!"

A high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm Expert said in a deep voice, tightly watching the four Immortal Birds and Beasts, transmitting a message to the Immortal Emperor Realm Experts: "Once they move, we will divide part of our strength to restrain them, while the rest harvest the Chaos Lotus! Every Immortal who contributes will receive a share of the Chaos Lotus! Whoever breaks faith will face our collective wrath!"

The Immortal Emperor Realm Experts agreed wholeheartedly, nodding in unison.

In an instant, a month passed, the majority of Immortals around the Holy Mountain remaining in a Cultivation State, while the standoff at the summit continued.

However, the four Immortal Birds and Beasts were visibly agitated.

Immortal Birds and Beasts dislike constraint, particularly being confined to a small area, something they find unbearable. The four Immortal Birds and Beasts were driven almost mad staying within the hundred-foot range of the Chaos Lotus, desiring to drive away the damned Immortals to expand their activity range to the entire summit, which would be much more comfortable.

Yet they understood that the number of Immortals surrounding them was immense. Leaving the hundred-foot range could result in a joint attack, risking the Chaos Lotus they had protected for years being seized by the Immortals.

Thus, the four Immortal Birds and Beasts had to continue enduring.

Just then, a sharp, urgent howling sound echoed from below the Holy Mountain, resonating across the summit.

"Is there a Beast Tamer trying to control these four Immortal Birds and Beasts?"

Among the hundred Immortal Emperor Realm Experts at the summit, several knew Beast Taming Art, and upon hearing the howling, their eyes lit up.

From the continuous howling, they discerned that the Immortal producing the sound was proficient in Beast Taming Technique, beyond their reach.

The Immortal’s sharp, urgent howling seemed to be attempting to confuse the minds of the four Immortal Birds and Beasts.

Some Immortal Emperor Realm Experts at the summit diffused their Divine Sense to investigate the origin of the howling, feeling slightly disappointed to find the source was merely a three-ranked Immortal King Cultivation Realm Immortal.
