Chapter 4555: One Man Destroys Haotian Palace

In the Desolate Immortal Realm, at the Haotian Palace Headquarters on Haotian Island, Haotian Divine Monarch sat cross-legged on a cyan futon in a secret chamber, his eyes slightly closed.

After a while, he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed. For some reason, he felt a sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

Haotian Divine Monarch took out a golden, shimmering disk, cast a spell into it, and asked, "Nephew Shen, has anything significant happened in the Desolate Immortal Realm recently? And what about Junior Sister Fang and the others?"

"Nothing major recently," a man's voice replied. "Uncle Liu went to the Chaos Continent. Aunt Fang asked him to go."

"Increase vigilance. Keep the disciples under strict discipline," Haotian Divine Monarch instructed.

"Yes, Senior Uncle Liu," the man assented.

"Senior Uncle Liu," the man added, "a Great Luo Golden Immortal has arrived, claiming to have something to discuss with you."

"A Great Luo Golden Immortal! What is his name? Have I met him before?" Haotian Divine Monarch asked, puzzled.

"He calls himself Azure Lotus Immortal Lord. I've asked other fellow disciples, and none of them recognize him. He must be an outsider," the man reported.

"Is he alone? What is his cultivation level?" Haotian Divine Monarch asked, a hint of tension in his voice.

"He is alone. Early Great Luo Golden Immortal stage," the man reported.

"Tell him I'm not here. Do not let him in. Find a suitable excuse to send him away," Haotian Divine Monarch instructed. He didn't know the person. After much thought, he decided it was best to have his disciple send the visitor away.

"Yes, Senior Uncle Liu," the man assented.

Just then, a deafening roar echoed, and the secret chamber shook violently.

Haotian Divine Monarch's expression darkened. He immediately flew out of his residence, seeing eighteen colossal blue orbs descending from the sky, hurtling towards Haotian Island.

At the same time, a giant blue fist descended from above, heading straight for Haotian Island. Before the blue giant fist even landed, the void collapsed, and numerous Haotian Palace disciples instantly turned into bloody mist, their souls utterly annihilated.

Haotian Divine Monarch's face became grim. His right hand glowed intensely red, and he thrust his palm forward. A massive red palm materialized and shot out, meeting the blue giant fist. Simultaneously, he conjured a small crimson cauldron, glowing with continuous red light. The red cauldron instantly expanded, emitting a crimson mist that enveloped the incoming blue orbs.

The blue giant fist collided with the red giant palm; the latter shattered instantly like paper. The crimson mist likewise shattered upon contact with the blue orbs.

The blue giant fist continued its course directly towards Haotian Divine Monarch. Haotian Divine Monarch tried to evade it, but a powerful restraining force emerged, immobilizing him.

Haotian Divine Monarch's brows furrowed deeply. A golden halo emanated from his right hand, and the restraining force vanished. The incoming blue orbs touched the golden halo, which rippled slightly.

"Daoist Art!" Haotian Divine Monarch's face turned grim. If it were merely a treasure's attack, his Law of Time could slow down the assault, or even send the treasure back to its origin. But Daoist Arts were different.

"Law of Time!" Wang Changsheng showed no surprise. He knew Haotian Divine Monarch wielded the Law of Time.

With a flick of his right hand, the Heaven-Severing Axe and Golden Lang Blade shot out, directly at Haotian Divine Monarch. Haotian Divine Monarch dared not be careless. He quickly opened his mouth and spat out a small, shimmering golden mirror, which emitted a stream of golden light towards the incoming Heaven-Severing Axe and Golden Lang Blade. The golden light touched the Heaven-Severing Axe and Golden Lang Blade, stopping them mid-air.

"A Time Immortal Artifact!" Wang Changsheng's brows furrowed slightly. It seemed the Time Immortal Artifact Haotian Divine Monarch had conjured incorporated a Grandmist Spirit Treasure.

Wang Changsheng snorted coldly. With a flick of his wrist, the eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads hurtled towards Haotian Divine Monarch. A golden halo radiated from Haotian Divine Monarch's body, meeting the attack.

Time Reversal! The eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads were imbued with Daoist Arts, not merely a simple treasure attack. The golden halo collided with the eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads, developing numerous cracks. The eighteen beads halted mid-air. This was only possible due to the perfected Supreme Law; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to withstand the Daoist Art at all.

Wang Changsheng's body blurred into an afterimage, instantly appearing behind Haotian Divine Monarch. Six golden arms sprouted from his back. The world's colors seemed to shift. His body was enveloped in a golden glow, resembling a wrathful Vajra. His eight golden arms struck out at Haotian Divine Monarch.

Haotian Divine Monarch showed no fear. A golden halo radiated from his body, meeting the assault. The eight golden arms shattered the golden halo. Haotian Divine Monarch's body reeled backward. This wasn't a Daoist Art, but rather the Law of Time, which he used to accelerate himself. Shen Ting had only achieved mastery of a law, but Haotian Divine Monarch had perfected it. Their strength was not on the same level.

A golden river appeared beneath Haotian Divine Monarch's feet. This was the River of Time. The River of Time surged and churned, heading straight for Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng frowned. With a flip of his right hand, a translucent lotus appeared in his palm. He plucked a petal from it and tossed it forward. The translucent lotus collided with the River of Time, causing the river to halt.

The eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads emitted a blinding blue light. The golden halo shattered into pieces, and the eighteen beads struck Haotian Divine Monarch. Haotian Divine Monarch casually conjured another River of Time, blocking the incoming eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads.

Without warning, Wang Changsheng appeared behind Haotian Divine Monarch. Haotian Divine Monarch showed no fear, emitting a golden halo from his body to meet him. The translucent lotus in Wang Changsheng's hand turned blood-red. He plucked a blood-red petal. Six golden fists slammed into the golden halo, shattering it.

Haotian Divine Monarch's body glowed intensely with golden light, intending to repeat his previous tactic. However, a powerful restraining force emerged out of nowhere. At the same time, a thick red beam of light shot forth, instantly reaching him.

A golden barrier emanated from Haotian Divine Monarch's body—an Absolute Time Domain. In this domain, time was stagnant. Simultaneously, he conjured a River of Time, blocking the incoming red light beam. The blood-red petal landed on the golden barrier, transforming into a swath of blood-red flames. The golden barrier instantly disintegrated. Haotian Divine Monarch's body was engulfed by the sanguine flames, and he let out a shriek, his entire being reduced to ashes.

Karma Fire! Every living being carried karma. Where there was karma, there was karmic power. Karma Fire possessed immense power; only a perfected Law of Destiny could withstand it. It was still quite difficult to kill an Immortal who had cultivated a Supreme Law to perfection, as perfected Supreme Laws all possessed immense power.

As Haotian Divine Monarch's nascent soul left his body, Wang Changsheng seized it and affixed a silver talisman to it. The Haotian Palace disciples on the island were immobilized by the Law of Confinement, utterly unable to help. Without Haotian Divine Monarch, these individuals were even less a match for Wang Changsheng, and he dealt with all of them. If Immortal Lord Lieyang were to attack Azure Lotus Island, he wouldn't show mercy to the Wang family either. One must eradicate the roots to prevent regrowth.

After dealing with the cultivators on Haotian Island, Wang Lin, Wang Mengli, Wang Yang, Wang Chan, and others flew out from beneath the sea. After thoroughly plundering the island's cultivation resources, they burned the bodies. Wang Changsheng then led them away from the area, heading towards Yunchuan Continent.
