Chapter 1350: Each One's Opportunity (Additional Chapter for Genshin Impact Support from the Alliance Leader)

The inner hall.

Lu Boyuan and the Cold Lizard were desperately fleeing for their lives in the inner hall.

They encountered perilous situations every step of the way. Among these dangers, the Five-Colored Immortal Wind was just a minor one.

They were forced to use their combined secret technique. Even so, both the man and the lizard were covered in wounds. Lu Boyuan's daoist robe was almost completely stained crimson with blood, though fortunately, most of the injuries were superficial.

From time to time, they looked up at the sky. The Ziwei Palace was getting closer and closer to the large hole in the sky. The spatial storm's fluctuations made their scalps tingle, leaving them no mind to heal their injuries.

"Boom!"

A secret realm was destroyed. The aftermath surged violently in all directions.

"Be careful!" Lu Boyuan shouted a warning.

The Cold Lizard reacted quickly, too. Coordinating with Lu Boyuan's combined secret technique, it spat out a ball of cold light, targeting themselves. The cold light enveloped them, transforming into a solid ice coffin, sealing them inside.

The next moment, the aftermath struck.

"Bang!"

The ice coffin was instantly flung far away. A series of cracking sounds ensued, and cracks spread across its surface. The next moment, it disintegrated into countless fragments, some of which were stained with blood.

Two figures shot out from the fragments. Lu Boyuan and the Cold Lizard were in a sorry state, but their lives were safe. Furthermore, using the force of the impact, they successfully burst out of the inner hall and plummeted continuously towards the outer hall.

Only then did they have the presence of mind to observe their surroundings.

The immortal palace was tearing through the void with world-shattering power. As they watched the scene above, a lingering sense of dread remained in their eyes, their souls still unsettled.

Their gaze shifted, and the Green Platform beneath the spatial storm came into view. Seeing the figures on the Green Platform and the scene of everyone striving to cross, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Both possessed excellent minds. Seeing this scene and recalling the unusual phenomena in the immortal palace, they could vaguely guess its purpose without even knowing what a 'reception platform' was for.

The man and the lizard exchanged a look, utterly shocked.

"I dragged you into this," the Cold Lizard said with regret. If Lu Boyuan had been present, he would also have had a chance to be on the Green Platform. To help it find spiritual medicine for recovery, Lu Boyuan had taken immense risks, venturing into the ancient herb garden with it. Although they successfully obtained immortal medicine, he was injured and exhausted, rendering him unable to ascend the platform.

The only chance for 'ascension' in the cultivation world for countless years was missed because of this!

Lu Boyuan harbored no complaints because of this. He gazed at the Green Platform and shook his head, saying, "Not necessarily! There might still be unforeseen developments later..."

Before his words could fully land.

"Bang!"

A dark figure crashed heavily onto the ground.

Lu Boyuan and the Cold Lizard, who had been drawn to the Green Platform, were startled by the sound. They turned their heads and saw only a plump, furry ball. On closer inspection, it turned out to be Feather King in his true form.

Lu Boyuan acknowledged that his strength was inferior to Feather King's, yet Feather King's appearance was far more miserable than theirs. Feather King's demonic body was originally magnificent and majestic, comparable to a divine bird. Now, his entire body was covered in bloodstains, his feathers devoid of luster, and patches were missing here and there, bald and bloody, a truly horrific sight. Most severely, both his wings hung limply. His left wing was completely broken, fractured into several segments, with only a piece of flesh still connecting it. When had the dignified Lord of Heavenly Demon Mound ever been in such a pathetic state!

Feather King rolled a few times on the ground, then shakily stood up, his figure suddenly stiffening. Six eyes met. Feather Demon King straightened the few remaining feathers on his head and, with a composed expression, greeted them, simultaneously noticing the scene on the Green Platform. He stared for a moment. Feather King's expression subtly changed, and deep regret flashed in his eyes.

Although his gains this time were substantial, missing such an opportunity was irreplaceable. If he hadn't been lured by the immortal medicine in the ancient herb garden and sustained such severe injuries, he would undoubtedly be one of those on the Green Platform right now!

However, there were fates far more tragic than theirs. Bloody light occasionally erupted from the inner hall of Ziwei Palace. Those who had not yet escaped would never leave, falling here with their treasures. Such were the varying fortunes.

On the Green Platform.

Old Demon Ye, Bai, and Qing Jun stood on one side of the Green Platform. Daoist Zhen Yi, True Immortal Cang Hong, and Demon Lord Tong You stood on the other side. Everyone remained silent. It was already incredibly difficult for them to maintain their footing there, and with more dangers ahead, they had no inclination to fight.

Qing Jun and Bai paid no attention to external matters. The Jade Bone, under their control, slowly moved towards the spatial storm. Since they couldn't kill the Jade Bone demon with their own power, they would use external forces!

Old Demon Ye watched Daoist Zhen Yi and the other two with a cold gaze. During its struggle, the Jade Bone screamed wildly, doing its utmost to tempt and bewitch them. If anyone was swayed, they would first have to contend with Old Demon Ye.

"Rumble..."

The firmament trembled. The Ziwei Palace flew higher and higher. Shadows covered more than half of the inner hall. Everyone was awestruck by this magnificent sight, staring blankly as the Ziwei Palace tore through the void. This secret realm, once considered the foremost treasure ground in the Northern Star Realm, would forever depart from them. The immortal palace descended to the mortal world, and eventually, it would return!

Finally, the Ziwei Palace flew past the Green Platform, reaching the edge of the spatial storm.

"Boom!"

The aftermath was almost tangible; a massive halo could be clearly seen with the naked eye, spreading outwards. From their position, they could only see the indistinct edge of the Ziwei Palace's inner hall, but they could still guess the astonishing destructive power that the immortal restrictions and spatial storm would unleash.

The outer hall, battered by the impact, disintegrated at an accelerating pace. The power of the Green Platform's storm instantly escalated by several levels.

Demon Lord Tong You was the first to show signs of faltering. His actions were always cautious, planning thoroughly before acting, rarely taking risks. After a moment of hesitation, he glanced at the others on the platform, then leaped off the Green Platform, choosing to retreat in the face of difficulty.

"Boom! Boom!"

Deafening roars drowned out all other sounds in the world. Everyone's hearts pounded with the rhythm, their expressions extremely tense.

The Jade Bone ultimately failed to escape control, struggling in vain as it flew towards the spatial storm. Its roaring became almost inaudible. Its figure was as tiny as an ant before the vast spatial storm. Unexpectedly, the Jade Bone's structure was incredibly hard. Even at such close proximity to the spatial storm and under the impact of its aftermath, it didn't immediately turn to dust. If the Jade Bone demon hadn't been suppressed by the Demon-Binding Rope and the Demonic Mind Puppet Seal, it probably could have walked out alive from the spatial storm even if it fell in. Qing Jun changed his hand seals, actively destroying his own puppet. This worsened the Jade Bone's situation, making its demise only a matter of time.

At this point, another person was eliminated from the Green Platform. True Immortal Cang Hong's most important protective magical artifact had been severely damaged by Old Demon Ye earlier and had not yet recovered. Having experienced the power of the spatial turbulence at close range, he knew his chances were slim. With a sigh, he indeed gave up.

Only Daoist Zhen Yi remained!

"Old Daoist, aren't you going to get down there! Do you really want to die here?" Old Demon Ye scoffed. With his millennium-long plan nearing completion, he suddenly felt like talking. "To think, I once considered you my lifelong rival, yet you went on to become the Heavenly Journey Alliance Leader. Ask yourself, you claim to be compassionate and protect all living beings, but haven't you also been intoxicated by power? If you had the chance to become the Northern Star Alliance Leader, you wouldn't hesitate, would you?"
