Chapter 1232: Let Me See Who You Really Are

A chilling atmosphere hung over Zhongshan Commandery. Time seemed to stop in that moment, and no one made a move.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally set up the barrier before the Sixth Immortal noticed.

At some point, the Middle Heaven Emperor appeared beside Lu Yang.

While Yun Zhi was setting up the barrier, she had also conveniently brought back the Middle Heaven Emperor, who had tried to escape. She entrusted Lu Yang with the important task of keeping an eye on him.

Though Lu Yang felt his Eldest Senior Sister was overestimating him a bit.

“Emperor, I advise you not to think about escaping,” Lu Yang said slowly, noticing the Emperor’s intention to flee amidst the chaos.

“You once tried to privately appropriate the nascent Dao Fruit of Reincarnation. The Sixth Immortal was hiding nearby, listening when you said that. Do you think the Sixth Immortal will let you go?”

The Middle Heaven Emperor’s expression changed repeatedly. He had to admit that Lu Yang was speaking the truth; the Sixth Immortal’s power exceeded his imagination.

If he broke the barrier, not only would he escape, but so would the Sixth Immortal.

By the time the Sixth Immortal came for him, he would be doomed!

The Sixth Immortal looked at the other party, and for the first time, a hint of solemnity entered his calm tone. The black mist also retracted to its limit, forming something like armor to prevent the other party from making a sudden move.

Then, the Sixth Immortal chuckled softly, “Yun Zhi, in your current state, how many times can you strike?”

“If I’m not mistaken, as time progresses, you will gradually merge with the Dao. The more you strike, the faster this process will be. What will you do then? Do you wish to merge with the Dao as soon as possible?”

Upon hearing this, the Three Immortals of Yingtian were all startled. What did the Sixth Immortal mean by "merging with the Dao"?

Lu Yang, who was about to relax, grew serious. The Three Immortals of Yingtian didn’t know the inside story, but he understood. Could it be that his Eldest Senior Sister was getting closer and closer to the state of merging with the Dao, and would once again merge herself with the Dao, this time unable to withdraw as she did the first time?!

However, the Sixth Immortal’s words didn't cause Yun Zhi to show any emotion. She simply spoke plainly, stating two facts in an undeniable tone.

“You’ve got two things wrong.”

“Firstly, I still have many chances to strike.”

“Secondly, your opponent is not me.”

Yun Zhi’s tone suddenly changed, becoming extremely emotional and furious, completely unlike her usual demeanor.

“Your opponent is me!”

Everyone present recognized the source of the voice and realized what had happened.

“The Immortal of Immortality borrowed Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi’s body?!” Immortal Yingtian was astonished. Was that even possible?

Since the Sixth Immortal and the Immortal of Immortality had an irreconcilable feud, Yun Zhi naturally wouldn’t overstep and participate in this immortal war.

The Immortal of Immortality moved her body slightly. Yun girl’s body was indeed useful, allowing her to unleash her full strength.

Boom—

The Immortal of Immortality gave the Sixth Immortal no chance to react. Her eyes as cold as knives, she transformed into a blazing lightning bolt, streaking across the sky, and fiercely swung her fist at the Sixth Immortal!

The Sixth Immortal feared no one and chose to meet her head-on!

Fists collided, and the moment they touched, the black mist clinging to the Sixth Immortal’s fist could not withstand the power of the Immortal of Immortality’s strike and immediately dispersed!

This was something that the Three Immortals of Yingtian had only managed to do by combining their efforts!

The black mist quickly re-condensed. The Sixth Immortal’s eyes were equally cold. “It seems your new body is indeed very useful.”

With the Immortal of Immortality borrowing Yun Zhi’s body, it would be difficult for him to bypass her and seize the nascent Dao Fruit of Reincarnation. A stalemate would lead nowhere good.

It would be better to seek another opportunity.

The Sixth Immortal and the Immortal of Immortality clashed. The Immortal of Immortality’s boxing was incredibly dominant, while the Sixth Immortal fought and retreated, until he reached the edge of the barrier.

He seized the opportunity to punch the barrier, but it did not shatter as expected. Instead, ripples spread across its surface, transmitting the force of the punch to all parts of the barrier, which absorbed its power.

If given time, a mere barrier certainly wouldn’t stop him, but how could the Immortal of Immortality give him that chance?

“Don’t even think about escaping!” The Immortal of Immortality charged forward, appearing pure and flawless, like an immortal descending from the heavens.

The two collided repeatedly, shattering space. The shockwaves reverberated, Dao sounds echoed across the sky, and primordial runes wove into a sea, dispersing into luminous particles.

Even the Three Immortals of Yingtian had never seen the Immortal of Immortality so enraged. She was like a force of nature, destroying anyone or anything in her path. They wished to intervene but couldn’t. In such high-intensity combat, both sides moved at high speed, and their attacks might very well hit the Immortal of Immortality instead of the Sixth Immortal.

The Immortal of Immortality’s extreme rage towards the Sixth Immortal was not entirely because he had killed her, but because after her death, the Four Immortals had been plunged into profound grief, and Xiao He, Xiao Ling, and Lianyue, even after losing their memories, remained heartbroken!

And then came the regrettable and hateful Gray Bean, the fall of the Tinder Dynasty, and the Four Immortals hiding for three hundred thousand years.

Everything started because of her. She felt she had let these people down!

The Immortal of Immortality’s boxing was immensely powerful, unparalleled in might, and utterly dominant. Any strong opponent would pale in comparison before her.

Although the Five Immortals of ancient times jointly deduced the path of the Dao Fruit, in reality, the Immortal of Immortality alone could have done it. In other words, in the ancient great era, when half-immortals were as common as rain, it all originated from the Immortal of Immortality!

The Immortal of Immortality’s boxing was flexible and varied, seemingly without rules, but in fact, it was all within the variations of her technique.

Immortal Qilin felt a faint ache all over his body as he watched the Immortal of Immortality perform her boxing technique, recalling events from ancient times.

The Immortal’s Boxing originated from herbs; each punch represented the efficacy of an herb. Logically, if one was hit enough times, one could adapt to it. But the problem was that when herbs were combined, they produced new effects, and with an infinite number of combinations, it was simply impossible to adapt!

Although the black mist was constantly re-condensing, the black mist on the Sixth Immortal’s body was shaking erratically, meaning he could no longer precisely control it!

The Immortal of Immortality was holding a grudge. If the Sixth Immortal didn’t use his Dao Fruit, then she wouldn’t either. She wanted to defeat him fair and square!

The Sixth Immortal realized that the Immortal of Immortality’s punches were all aimed at his face and switched from offense to defense.

Although he temporarily blocked them, he found that the Immortal of Immortality’s punches became faster and heavier.

Her initial combat performance was not her true strength; after all, their cultivation systems were different, and it was her first time borrowing Yun Zhi’s body, requiring a period of familiarity. Now, she was gradually adapting to Yun Zhi’s body through combat.

The Immortal of Immortality’s eyes glowed with fierce intensity, and both her fists radiated light. Finally, with a thunderous boom, she broke through the Sixth Immortal’s guard, striking his face!

Even if the Sixth Immortal gathered black mist from other parts of his body to protect his face, it was useless; it still couldn’t block this accumulated strike!

“Hiding yourself, not daring to show your face! Let me see who you really are!”

Boom—

The black mist shrouding the Sixth Immortal was completely shattered, revealing a face exceptionally familiar to both the Immortal of Immortality and the Three Immortals of Yingtian!

“Yao Sheng!”

Yao Sheng, the only person in ancient times who had mastered the great divine ability of “Words Become Law.”
