Chapter 1092: Xiao Yangzi, I really can't bear to part with you ah

The battle fully erupted as two supreme immortals clashed. The power of annihilation collided with the power of immortality, obliterating time and space, and distorting dimensions.

Greydoudou was bathed in gray flames. Space collapsed and the void shattered around her, as these were world-ending flames that consumed immortal bodies and souls. They burned eternally, and if she wished, even the vast East Sea could be scorched dry by them.

When fighting her, the greatest peril was to be touched by these world-ending flames. They were like a gangrene clinging to bone; once an immortal body was tainted, a bloody price had to be paid for their removal.

Immortal Ying Tian largely lost his physical body after encountering these flames during his battle with Greydoudou!

However, Immortal Imperishable was utterly fearless. She opted for a direct confrontation, landing a punch on Greydoudou's face, but in doing so, she also became tainted by the world-ending flames.

Immortal Imperishable's soul was indestructible; even with the world-ending flames burning, they couldn't harm her in the slightest!

"Not enough force, Imperishable," Greydoudou remarked. Her face, which had been askew, slowly righted itself against Immortal Imperishable's fist; such a punch caused her no pain or discomfort.

"Unafraid of the world-ending flames, truly worthy of the Immortal Dao Fruit."

With every movement, the two immortals altered the very fabric of reality. Chaos emerged and immortal light surged as their attacks, like a torrential storm, spanned from the ground to the sky, and then into the cosmos. Phantom stars trembled uncontrollably, as if on the verge of disintegration.

"This tremor..." In the restricted area of the Great Xia Imperial Palace, Meng Junzi and Jiang Pingan both rose, displaying expressions of disbelief.

"Is that direction the Demon Realm?!" The two exchanged glances, both deeply shocked. The Demon Realm was incredibly far from the Great Xia Imperial Palace, yet they could sense the battle fluctuations. Who exactly were fighting?

When Meng Junzi had previously fought Greydoudou in the Buddhist Kingdom, Jiang Pingan, who was overseeing Great Xia, hadn't detected any movement and only found out afterward!

"So, they finally started fighting?" Yun Zhi murmured. She was picking leaves from the Enlightenment Tree in the medicine garden and, feeling the battle fluctuations from an immense distance, she could guess without needing to check that two immortal seniors were fighting.

After picking the leaves, she leisurely returned to Tianmen Peak, where she brewed and savored her tea.

"It's a pity I can't witness this epoch-making battle," she mused. "Immortal Gray carries the Senior Immortal's fortune, possessing the ability to seek advantage, avoid harm, and turn misfortune into blessing. Only by fighting the Senior Immortal does their fortune cancel out, preventing her from discerning whether this battle will result in victory or defeat." She continued, "Junior Brother hasn't called me over either. It's probably because Senior Immortal said she didn't want me to interfere."

After their encounter in the East Sea and several subsequent experiments, Yun Zhi understood that to resolve the issue with Immortal Gray, the Senior Immortal had to intervene.

"Xiao Yun, has an immortal war broken out?" Dao Lord Han Hai, having also sensed the battle above Demon City, rushed to Yun Zhi to inquire about the situation, though he couldn't determine how many immortals were involved.

"Yes."

"Shall we go take a look?" Dao Lord Han Hai was itching to go. This was an immortal war, a sight unseen for generations. He had missed the battle of Imperial City, and he absolutely couldn't miss this one.

He roughly calculated the coordinates of the battleground and opened a spatial gate, only to find that it disintegrated the moment it formed.

"This is..." Dao Lord Han Hai's pupils contracted sharply. He had never encountered such a situation before.

Yun Zhi finished a cup of tea, then refilled it. She invited Grandmaster Han Hai to sit and drink tea, kindly advising, "My suggestion is not to go. The space at the battleground is completely chaotic; you can't teleport there."

"Self-detonation!" Continuous massive explosions rocked the cosmos, sending flames shooting skyward. It was night, yet the scene was as bright as day.

Greydoudou was heavily wounded, her blood staining the sky, but her injuries were healing rapidly!

"With only a soul and no physical body, how much of your true strength can you unleash?" Greydoudou said arrogantly, striding forward. She could recover from injuries quickly simply because her physical body was extraordinarily powerful, possessing innate self-healing abilities without needing a Dao Fruit.

Braving the power of the self-detonation, she strode directly toward the explosion's center. Seizing the moment Immortal Imperishable regenerated her physical body, Greydoudou unleashed a punch.

"Immortal Killing Fist!"

This was Greydoudou's unique fist technique, originating from the Dao Fruit of Annihilation. Its punches were unparalleled, capable of causing cosmic anomalies. The boundless annihilation power it contained could extinguish all life force, causing lifespan to rapidly drain, leading to the five decays of heaven and man, and ultimately, death by old age!

Although Immortal Imperishable did not lack life force, and the effect of extinguishing life force was ineffective on her, even disregarding that, this punch still contained the force to shatter heaven and earth, directly sending her flying!

Greydoudou's attacks followed one after another, giving Immortal Imperishable no chance to breathe. She directly blasted her from the cosmos to the Sixth Continent—the Spiritless Continent!

This continent resembled a replica of the Central Continent, with mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, lush and green. However, it had no spiritual energy or living beings, making it a rather primitive and pure place.

"All things wither!" Greydoudou exclaimed, exuding a dense aura of death. Wherever she passed, vegetation withered, mountains collapsed into flat plains, rivers dried up, and deserts expanded, before everything turned to dust and ashes, dissolving into nothingness.

Such was the power of annihilation: all things returned to nothingness.

"Constant and Unchanging!"

Immortal Imperishable roared, locking down the area and making herself and the surroundings enter a "permanent" state that no external force could alter.

"What a troublesome ability. No wonder you abandoned the Dao Fruit of Annihilation for the Dao Fruit of Immortality when you were a Half-Immortal," Greydoudou said coldly. Among all opponents she had faced, the Dao Fruit of Immortality was the most difficult to deal with, or rather, it was the complete antithesis of her own existence.

"If this is all you've got, then you can die!"

"What's the situation?" Lu Yang and the others anxiously awaited the battle's outcome. After Immortal Imperishable and Greydoudou fought into the cosmos, it became impossible to tell who had the upper hand, and once they reached the Spiritless Continent, they completely lost track of the battle.

A figure was struck down, plummeting directly and smashing a crater in the ground comparable in size to Demon City.

"Immortal!" Lu Yang shouted excitedly. The one who had been struck down was actually the Immortal!

"Don't come over!" Immortal Imperishable yelled. She was currently covered in the power of annihilation; if Xiao Yangzi touched even a bit of it, he would die!

Greydoudou landed, stepping closer to Immortal Imperishable, who lay on the ground.

"For Xiao He's sake, I can spare your life," Greydoudou declared, "but everyone else, besides you, must die."

Greydoudou turned her head to look at Lu Yang, her eyes holding an impenetrable murderous intent. "Especially you, who knew of my existence and used me to deal with Ying Tian Shi."

Immortal Imperishable shakily rose, blocking Greydoudou's path, her eyes fierce. "Xiao Yangzi is under my protection; no one is allowed to touch him!"

She turned to look back at Lu Yang, offering a tragic smile.

"Xiao Yangzi, I truly don't want to leave you."

"Immortal, what are you doing!" Lu Yang exclaimed in horror, wanting to desperately rush forward and stop her.

But it was too late. Immortal Imperishable seemed to have made a certain decision; her soul glowed, and her once dim soul became full.

No, it wasn't just becoming full; it completely transformed into a body of flesh and blood!

Greydoudou watched Immortal Imperishable in shock. Had she conjured a physical body using the Immortal Dao Fruit?!

Immortal Imperishable stared intently into Greydoudou's shocked eyes. She said, word by word, "I never wanted to go this far, but you forced me!"
