Chapter 4118: Immortal Fall Catastrophe

The Chaos Continent, Xuanyu City.

In a secluded manor, Wang Qingshan and Bai Ling’er sat in a green stone pavilion, listening to Wang Chuanming’s report. More than eight thousand years had passed since the last Chaos Beast Tide, and Wang Chuanming had now advanced to the Golden Immortal stage.

After arriving on the Chaos Continent, he led the Dark Hall in many endeavors, providing valuable information for Wang Qingshan’s decision-making. Wang Chuanming’s significant contributions naturally earned him considerable cultivation resources.

“According to reliable sources, Yu Weiwei, the Alliance Leader of the Bright Moon Alliance, has arrived on the Chaos Continent and is personally overseeing Bright Moon City,” Wang Chuanming reported.

“What about the Beast Spirit Sect, Azure Cloud Palace, and the Lin Family?” Wang Qingshan asked.

“They have also dispatched Golden Immortal cultivators to the Chaos Continent, deferring to Yu Weiwei. Oh, and Fellow Daoist Xun from the Heavenly Moon Clan contacted me. He’s gathered some Primordial Stones and wishes to sell them to our Wang family, but finds it inconvenient to appear in person. He requests that we send someone to Yunlang City to conduct the transaction with his designated contact,” Wang Chuanming replied.

The Azure Cloud Palace was currently barely holding on, with its subordinate forces each having their own agendas. The outside world was unaware of the Wang family’s relationship with the Heavenly Moon Clan. Seeing the Wang family’s growing strength, the Heavenly Moon Clan naturally sought to ingratiate themselves, as the Azure Cloud Palace was no longer a reliable option.

As the Wang family flourished, Zhenhai Palace, the Wang (Wāng) family, the Lan family, the Ni family, Taiyi Palace, the Spirit Race, and the Li family also reaped benefits, with Golden Immortal cultivators emerging one after another.

Before their marriage alliance with the Wang family, the Zhou family was on the verge of extinction, with only a handful of True Immortal cultivators. Yet, within just a few years of pledging allegiance to the Wang family, Golden Immortal cultivators emerged—a testament to fate.

The Xia family had also pledged allegiance to the Wang family, though they currently had no Golden Immortal cultivators. With the Zhou family as an example, many minor forces in the Tianchen Sea Region desired to pledge allegiance to the Wang family. However, the Wang family preferred quality over quantity and generally did not consider forces too weak, as that would only create trouble for themselves. To join the Wang family, one either needed exceptional strength or unique skills, such as proficiency in alchemy, talismans, or cultivation.

“Send someone to handle it. Acquire the Primordial Stones and then give them to Qingfeng for artifact refinement,” Wang Qingshan instructed.

“Yes, Ancestor Qingshan,” Wang Chuanming replied, then turned and left.

“Chuanming is becoming increasingly capable. Making him the head of the Dark Hall is quite suitable,” Bai Ling’er remarked. The Dark Hall’s achievements were tangible and recognized by the family’s senior members, and Wang Qingshan had high hopes for Wang Chuanming.

“Chuanming is effective in his work, though sometimes his ideas are a bit extreme. Guiding him properly will prevent him from straying onto the wrong path,” Wang Qingshan stated.

“Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt have been gone for tens of thousands of years. I wonder how they are; I hope they’re alright!” Bai Ling’er said, a hint of worry in her voice.

“Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt possess extraordinary strength; nothing will happen to them. They’re likely delayed by something. With so many of us, defending Xuancheng will be no problem,” Wang Qingshan stated confidently. While Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan could conquer territories, Wang Qingshan and others could both conquer and defend them.

A series of urgent alarms blared, echoing throughout Xuanyu City.

“No good, Chaos Beasts are attacking!”

Wang Qingshan’s expression changed. He transformed into a streak of green light, flying out and landing on the city wall. Lan Fukong, Ni Tianlong, and Li Qinghuan also stood on the city wall, their expressions solemn.

Following their gaze, one could see a vast number of colored Chaos Beasts, tens of thousands of them, even more than last time, including three Seven-Colored Chaos Beasts.

“How can another Chaos Beast Tide erupt? The scale is even larger than before. Was the last one not the Immortal Fall Tribulation? Is this the true Immortal Fall Tribulation?” Lan Fukong wondered aloud. In the past fifty thousand years, this was the third Chaos Beast Tide. The last time such a frequency occurred was during the previous Immortal Fall Tribulation.

“The Chaos Beasts are not unintelligent. We cannot rule out that possibility. The previous two might have just been probes, or perhaps attempts to lower our guard. This could be the true Immortal Fall Tribulation.” Ni Tianlong’s tone was grave.

“Last time, many Golden Immortal cultivators were captured. If that wasn’t the Immortal Fall Tribulation, are they aiming to capture Grand Unity Golden Immortals this time?” Li Qinghuan asked in surprise. Such a situation had occurred before, but that was many years ago.

“Most Chaos Beasts cannot go invisible. Once they dispatch a large force, surely it wouldn’t escape the notice of Immortals, right? What’s the point of probing?” Lan Fukong asked, puzzled.

“Have you forgotten? They captured many Immortals last time, likely to cultivate mutated Chaos Beasts and prepare for this war. If that’s the case, we’re in trouble.” Wang Qingshan’s voice was heavy. He ordered: “Pass down the command: all cultivators stationed in Huang City are to withdraw immediately and reinforce Xuanyu City.” Lan Fukong acknowledged, taking out a Transmission Immortal Mirror to relay the message.

Outside Xuanyu City, three Seven-Colored Chaos Beasts stood on an earthen mound. Leading them was a beast-humanoid Seven-Colored Chaos Beast, possessing cultivation at the late Golden Immortal stage.

“Today, we expand our tribe! Take this city!” the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast roared. No sooner had it spoken than a loud roar echoed, and a massive horde of Chaos Beasts charged towards Xuanyu City, with the One-Colored Chaos Beasts leading the vanguard.

Ni Tianlong let out a cold snort, leaped out of Xuanyu City, and landed on the ground. He performed a hand seal, and a golden aura burst forth from his body, heading straight for the approaching Chaos Beasts. Though it was merely an initial grasp of a law, when unleashed by a Golden Immortal cultivator, its power was naturally far greater. As the golden aura swept past the Chaos Beasts, the One-Colored, Two-Colored, and Three-Colored Chaos Beasts all halted, stirring up clouds of dust. Before the Four-Colored and Five-Colored Chaos Beasts could comprehend what was happening, they turned to attack their own kind. The assault on Xuanyu City devolved into an internal struggle among the Chaos Beasts. No matter how the higher-tier Chaos Beasts roared, the One-Colored, Two-Colored, and Three-Colored Chaos Beasts completely ignored commands, furiously attacking their stronger counterparts.

“The Law of Illusion! No wonder other tribes have been unable to conquer you. Initiate the second plan,” the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast stated, its voice chilling. A nearby Seven-Colored Chaos Beast, resembling a rhinoceros, let out a loud roar. As its sound spread, numerous Five-Colored Chaos Beasts bypassed the vanguard and charged directly towards Xuanyu City. Most of these Five-Colored Chaos Beasts were at the True Immortal stage, and the initial grasp of laws had no effect on them.

A five-colored streak of light flew out from Xuanyu City, confronting the incoming Chaos Beasts. With two dull thuds, two Five-Colored Chaos Beasts were sent flying backward, slamming heavily into the ground. Their skulls were shattered, blood gushed profusely, and they were lifeless. The light vanished, revealing Wang Yingjie, his expression cold. A Five-Colored Chaos Beast at the early Golden Immortal stage plunged down from above. A five-colored aura bloomed around Wang Yingjie’s body, sweeping past the Five-Colored Chaos Beast, which immediately halted. The Five-Colored Chaos Beast’s body emitted dazzling five-colored spiritual light, regaining its freedom, and a giant five-colored fist then slammed out. Immediately after, its massive body was sent flying backward, its head shattered, and it was lifeless.

Witnessing this, everyone except Wang Qingshan gasped in awe, exclaiming, “Peak True Spirit!” The Five-Colored Chaos Beasts, however, paid no mind and swarmed towards Wang Yingjie.

A burst of silver lightning illuminated, revealing Wang Mengbin. His body was enveloped by countless silver electric arcs, and he held a Sky Halberd wreathed in lightning. He swung his Sky Halberd, and immediately, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky. Thick silver lightning bolts tore through the firmament, striking down on the advancing Five-Colored Chaos Beasts.

Ye Haitang, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Yidao, and others arrived one after another, taking their positions beside Wang Qingshan.

“Do not use the mid-grade Immortal Slaying Arrows yet. Haitang, Qingfeng, Yidao, Hongxue, come with me to exterminate the Chaos Beasts. Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Lan, you remain within the city and jointly confront the Chaos Beasts. Yuqi, operate the mid-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons to support us,” Wang Qingshan ordered. Golden Immortals who had only initially grasped laws would not be of much use outside the city, as they were not Peak True Spirits. It was better for them to remain inside the city and rely on their treasures and divine abilities to counter the Chaos Beasts. Wang Qingshan and others had achieved minor mastery of laws, allowing them to engage in close combat with the Chaos Beasts. Wang Yidao had obtained the Six-Colored Immortal Lotus from the Seven Rainbow Cavern, and Du Xueyao had successfully brewed the Six-Colored Immortal Brew. Four clan members, including Wang Qingfeng, had consumed the Six-Colored Immortal Brew and successfully cultivated to become True Spirits. Wang Qingshan leaped out, with Ye Haitang and the others following closely behind.

Bai Yuqi held a shimmering formation plate, casting a spell into it. Fifteen mid-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons fired simultaneously. Wang Qingshan had acquired Nine Lantern Divine Items at a high price and entrusted them to Wang Qingfeng to refine into mid-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons. Now, Xuanyu City possessed over a hundred Immortal Slaying Cannons, fifteen of which were mid-grade. Wang Yunlong and over a hundred Immortal Armored Soldiers also flew out of Xuanyu City. Wielding immortal artifacts, they attacked True Immortal-stage Four-Colored and Five-Colored Chaos Beasts. Low-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons fired, assisting them.
