Chapter 1088: Xiao He, Long Time No See

Dark clouds gathered over Demon City, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling. The immense pressure of immortal power descended upon the city.

Left Historian Immortal looked up at the sudden change in weather, swallowing hard. The wrath of an immortal could alter heaven and earth.

He had prepared thoroughly, even setting up an immortal-grade formation. How could the Immortal of Annihilation still sense him?

Could it be that the Immortal of Annihilation was also in Demon City, and he had trapped himself alongside her?!

Why was Qing He unharmed?

Did the Immortal of Annihilation just call Qing He "my person"? Was that why Qing He was safe?

"Wait, Immortal of Annihilation, there might be a misunderstanding between us. I can surrender just like Qing He..."

Boom—

With a fierce glare from her beautiful eyes, Grey Dou Dou left an afterimage and transformed into a bolt of lightning, kicking Left Historian Immortal to the edge of the formation. Left Historian Immortal was disoriented, his internal organs displaced from the blow.

"My Lord!"

The moment Qing He saw the Immortal of Immortality, her blood rushed, and she was so thrilled she couldn't believe her eyes. Her voice trembled violently as she cried out "My Lord," and familiar, blurry memories flooded her mind. Tears streamed down her face, impossible to wipe away.

After four hundred thousand years of separation, her long-cherished Lord had finally been revived.

It felt like a dream.

"Little He, I knew you're fine." The Immortal of Immortality turned, seeing Qing He unharmed, and chuckled happily. She had worried about what Grey Dou Dou might do to Qing He.

"Wait here, Little He, I'll deal with this so-called Left Historian Immortal!"

Just as Left Historian Immortal recovered from Grey Dou Dou's kick, he felt a punch from the Immortal land in his abdomen. His stomach churned, and he vomited bile.

What a terrifying punch; this was the Immortal of Immortality's fist.

Left Historian Immortal had become an immortal during the Era of the Tinder Dynasty and had not personally experienced the ancient times ruled by the Five Ancient Immortals. However, he had heard tales of the Immortal of Immortality from Immortals Ying Tian and others, understanding what a terrifying being she was.

Even though she was not fully revived and was merely a soul body, she was still unbeatable for him!

Provoking these two meant certain death, not just for him, but even if the Four Ancient Immortals gathered together!

He had to escape, no matter what!

Grey Dou Dou and the Immortal of Immortality attacked Left Historian Immortal simultaneously, kicking him around like a ball in a game of Cuju, venting their frustration.

Finally, Left Historian Immortal endured the severe pain and seized an opportunity to fly out of Demon City.

But as he reached the city's boundary, he remembered that the immortal-grade formation had sealed off Demon City's space. The formation was his own design, and it would only take him three breaths to break through it.

However, in front of Grey Dou Dou and the Immortal of Immortality, three breaths were out of the question; he didn't even have a single moment to breathe!

Damn it, the formation he had painstakingly designed with countless efforts had trapped him!

The moment Emperor Zhu Tian, the Demon Emperor, saw Grey Dou Dou and the Immortal of Immortality appear, he, who had been preparing to ride out with eight dragon steeds and lay a golden path, quietly tethered his steeds, squatted on the ground, and picked up the spiritual fruits he had just overturned, placing them back into the fruit plate.

Good heavens, a battle between three immortals! Thankfully, he hadn't gone out. What a disaster that would have been!

Although he didn't recognize Left Historian Immortal, anyone worth the Immortal of Immortality's attention could only be another immortal.

Whoosh—

Rain poured down, cleansing Demon City. The torrential rain striking Left Historian Immortal instantly evaporated with sizzling sounds, and steam enveloped him.

Left Historian Immortal gasped for breath as his injuries recovered at a visible rate.

He was fortunate to have seized the nascent form of the Rejuvenation Dao Fruit from Grandmaster Mu Yin, otherwise, he would have been battered and dying long ago.

Grey Dou Dou raised an eyebrow. An immortal body naturally possessed the ability to recover from injuries, but her Annihilation Power could suppress recovery. Yet, despite the suppression, Left Historian Immortal was still recovering quickly, indicating he had another means of regeneration.

But it didn't matter; no method was effective in front of her.

Unlike Left Historian Immortal's earlier earth-shattering suppression of Qing He and Yun Meng Meng with just one hand, the two women's attacks on Left Historian Immortal were simple punches and kicks. Their movements were unpretentious, embodying the essence of simplicity, yet each move contained profound universal truths.

However, the battle of the three immortals brought an even heavier sense of oppression to Demon City. Everyone felt as if they were carrying a mountain, and those with insufficient cultivation didn't even qualify to watch.

"Azure Heaven Suppressing Prison Hand!"

Risking self-mutilation and severe injury, Left Historian Immortal unleashed the Azure Heaven Suppressing Prison Hand. A massive azure hand descended from the sky like the hand of heaven itself, its palm covered in runes representing rules and order.

"Perish."

Grey Dou Dou uttered "Perish" coldly. The Azure Heaven Hand began to disintegrate from its fingertips, breaking down into its most primitive runes, which then scattered and vanished completely.

Left Historian Immortal took out a handful of talismans, all immortal-grade talismans he had prepared beforehand, each capable of killing a Half-Immortal.

"Red Lotus Karmic Fire!"

A crimson fiery lotus appeared, incinerating all evil in the world. As Grey Dou Dou had annihilated the Tinder Dynasty, encountering the Red Lotus Karmic Fire would surely cause karmic retribution, burning her to ashes!

"Grand Void Illusion!"

A vast illusion unfolded, trapping Grey Dou Dou and the Immortal of Immortality within it. Even a moment of distraction would buy him time.

"Underworld Ghost Shadows!"

Countless ghost shadows appeared. This was power he had accumulated in the Underworld during the Tinder Dynasty era. The nether qi carried by a million spectral soldiers could inflict misfortune upon immortals, leaving them no time for anything else!

"Perish!"

Grey Dou Dou was completely unaffected by the illusion, still uttering only one word: "Perish." This word represented the Power of Annihilation, which ranked among the foremost offensive immortal abilities. Even the Four Ancient Immortals were helpless against the Power of Annihilation, let alone Left Historian Immortal, who didn't even possess a Dao Fruit!

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire instantly dispersed before the Power of Annihilation, and the million spectral soldiers turned to ash. Left Historian Immortal seized the opportunity to open his Celestial Eye. Although he had lost his Insight Dao Fruit, he still knew some techniques for scouting and divining his own fate. These were the signature skills of his Shi Huang clan, which he had greatly developed in his generation.

In his Celestial Eye, he saw himself enveloped by gray mist, a highly inauspicious sign. It meant that the outcome of this battle would be either imprisonment or death, with no third possibility.

He made a decisive choice, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of vital blood, activating a great Karma divine ability: "Defy Fate and Change Destiny!"

This was a move capable of altering his own destiny, allowing his fate to turn from grim to promising, hoping for a glimmer of survival!

"Constant and Unchanging!"

The Immortal of Immortality utilized her Immortal Dao Fruit, fixing Left Historian Immortal's fate. No matter what great divine ability he employed, it could not alter his destiny.

The Immortal Dao Fruit not only allowed the Immortal of Immortality to maintain her original state but also affected others in the same way!

Left Historian Immortal was utterly shocked. He had not anticipated this move at all; even "Defy Fate and Change Destiny" had failed. Was this the power of the head of the Five Ancient Immortals?!

Grey Dou Dou emerged from the ashes of the million spectral soldiers, her eyes cold, looking at Left Historian Immortal as if he were already dead!

She commanded in a cold, unquestionable tone.

"Kneel before Little He."

She took a step towards Left Historian Immortal, gripped the top of his head, and with a forceful press, pushed him directly from the sky to the ground, kneeling before Qing He.

The Immortal of Immortality descended from the air, greeting with a smile: "Little He, long time no see."
