Chapter 665: The Might of the Cloud Sect Master

"Heavenly Court Sect Master?"

The two ancient Supremes frowned. As Half-Immortals who had revived in the current era, they had thoroughly investigated this ancient organization.

The Heavenly Court Sect's origins could be traced back to ancient times, and every one of its actions had astonished the world. First, there was the Battle of Hanshui City, where the Heavenly Court's leader, Daoist Priest Dou, used an immortal thought to control the power of national destiny, overwhelmingly defeating three Tribulation Transcenders from Great Yu. Later, the Heavenly Court's Young Sect Master openly appeared at the Dao Inquiry Sect, challenging the world's most brilliant cultivators. He eventually fought Lu Yang of the Dao Inquiry Sect to a draw and then departed. More recently, the ancient ancestor of the Phoenix Clan revived and defeated Supreme Lord Zhu Tian, who had ascended to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Every action demonstrated the Heavenly Court's immense power, and it never attempted to conceal its strength, proving its confidence.

The two Supremes had spent their lives in battle and would not be intimidated by a mere title. If Daoist Priest Dou himself had appeared, they would have turned and fled, as he was very likely an Immortal, a terrifying existence they could not hope to oppose. Since it wasn't Daoist Priest Dou, there was nothing to fear. Whether it was the Phoenix Clan's ancient ancestor or Sect Master Yun, they were merely Half-Immortals.

There were only four named Immortals in ancient times. For Daoist Priest Dou to suddenly appear was already incredible; another Immortal couldn't possibly emerge out of nowhere. If Sect Master Yun wasn't an ancient Immortal, then she could only be a Half-Immortal.

"Trying to make a name for yourself by stepping on us? Sect Master Yun isn't afraid of overestimating herself!" To them, a Half-Immortal was nothing in their domain. Judging by how she had effortlessly pierced through the Void Realm space, her nascent Dao fruit likely involved spatial abilities.

Yun Zhi looked at the two, her eyes filled with confusion. "Who are you?"

The two ancient Half-Immortals' veins bulged, and they were furious. They hadn't encountered such a blatant provocation in a long time. *If you don't know us, what are you doing here?!* "You're asking for death!" "Heavenly Manifestation, Earthly Embodiment!" "Profound Mastery of a Hundred Martial Arts!"

Two towering divine figures, holding various divine weapons and artifacts, launched a pincer attack, determined to annihilate Yun Zhi and scatter her soul.

Venerable Yi Qi's expression grew increasingly solemn. Sect Master Yun of the Heavenly Court Sect was an unknown, neither friend nor foe. The addition of a third force to the battlefield made the situation even more perplexing.

"It seems these two don't dare to underestimate Sect Master Yun, immediately using their most powerful moves." City Lord Liu was puzzled. "Didn't they fight like this from the start in their previous battle? This move seemed to have ordinary power, causing no damage." Venerable Yi Qi shook his head, correcting City Lord Liu's misconception. "They didn't hurt each other just now because their abilities were similar. Any other Half-Immortal would absolutely not dare to withstand this move head-on!"

"Heavenly Manifestation, Earthly Embodiment" is a supreme Dharma body that combines offense and defense, renowned alongside the Buddhist "Immaculate Golden Body" for its indestructibility and unmatched defense. "Profound Mastery of a Hundred Martial Arts" creates an unstoppable offensive with various magic treasures, overwhelming opponents through sheer quantity, rendering any defense useless!

Yun Zhi raised her slender hand, and the golden bell tied to her wrist jingled, sending out infinite spatial ripples. The ripples swept through every inch of space, and the two divine figures seemed to be frozen in place, remaining motionless, their Dharma bodies still holding their weapons aloft. The bell jingled again. Another layer of spatial ripples spread out, and the two were struck as if by an immortal hammer to the chest. They cried out and flew backward, crashing into the spatial barrier, leaving them dizzy.

"So that's where your confidence comes from! You're relying on an Immortal artifact!" The two stared intently at the golden bell on Yun Zhi's wrist. Even if she used her nascent spatial Dao fruit, it would be impossible to easily break their ultimate moves. If they hadn't used "Reversal of Heaven and Earth" to rewind their own time, that last strike would have killed them! The opponent had used power beyond that of a Half-Immortal!

"As expected of the ancient Heavenly Court, to possess an Immortal artifact. It makes sense; with Daoist Priest Dou as their backing, it would be strange if they didn't." Nightmare Supreme's expression turned greedy. The reason he was so obsessed with finding the Twin Rivers was precisely because the Twin Rivers was also an Immortal artifact, albeit a more unusual one. If he could control the Twin Rivers, then Void Supreme would merely be a dry bone on his path to immortality!

Originally, the two had planned to kill Sect Master Yun and then engage in their internal struggle. Now, it seemed, was not the time to hold back. Whoever obtained the Immortal Bell would win their internal conflict!

"Fairy, is that bell on Senior Sister's wrist an Immortal artifact?" Lu Yang was surprised. Since he first met his Senior Sister, she had been wearing that bell, and he had thought it was just an ordinary ornament. So the golden bell was an Immortal artifact? Immortal Fairy nodded, lying languidly on a lotus platform in the Grand Hall. With one hand propping up her cheek, she mused that since little Yun was taking action, there was no need for her to turn the tide. "It is an Immortal artifact, but it had nothing to do with that last attack. Little Yun simply struck out with her palm and broke their moves." "As I told you, a Half-Immortal is a Tribulation Transcender who has comprehended a nascent Dao fruit; their physical constitution doesn't change. The real difference only emerges when one becomes an Immortal."

"Shifting Stars and Changing Dipper, Sun and Moon Appear Together!" "Cosmic Transformation, World-Ending Deluge!" "Cycle of Life and Death!" "Sensory Deprivation!"

A brilliant sun and a majestic moon simultaneously appeared in the sky, representing the extremes of yin and yang. They slowly rotated, forming a true Taiji diagram. This was a move that the Ninefold Immortal had once performed when he was a Half-Immortal! Suddenly, the sky was filled with stars. The stars shifted and flowed, containing an inexplicable power that drew upon the past and present, causing the ancient world-ending deluge to reappear, its power no different from the ancient catastrophe! A gigantic bronze-colored wheel emerged, moving slowly like a heavy millstone yet capable of crushing anything in the world. The wheel represented Yun Zhi's lifespan, each marking indicating a segment of her life. If the wheel spun to its end, it would mean the end of Yun Zhi's life! It was a time-and-life-related curse! "Sensory Deprivation" would strip Yun Zhi of her perception of the outside world, leaving her defenseless against their attacks!

Outside this place, the two of them could not have unleashed such heaven-defying moves. However, this was a combination of the Void Realm and a dream, providing unique conditions that allowed them to attack without restraint. Still feeling uneasy, the two exchanged glances and made a decision. Simultaneously, they bellowed a move that would exact a heavy price even from them: "Time Stop!"

Time came to a halt. The bustling Chunjiang City became a silhouette frozen in time, with only the two ancient beings, capable of overseeing past and present, able to move within this temporal snapshot. "Die!" Their moves, imbued with countless hours of their effort, rained down. The great sun sank, the full moon plummeted, and the world-ending deluge that had brought nightmares to ancient peoples descended from the heavens, shrouded in the heavy aura of death, as the bronze wheel spun rapidly, foretelling the end of life.

In the stillness of time, Yun Zhi's eyes looked up at the two Half-Immortals, her beautiful, clear black-and-white eyes devoid of any emotion. The two Half-Immortals felt a chill run down their spines, instantly sensing that something was terribly wrong. How could anyone move when time was stopped?! Especially when their five senses were sealed!

Yun Zhi moved, taking a step that shattered time, and time began to flow again. With a casual flick of her hand, the sun and moon shattered, the floodwaters vanished, and the bronze wheel reversed. It was as if the world had ended, leaving utter silence. The light and shadows from the shattered sun and moon reflected Yun Zhi's expression, devoid of joy or sorrow.

Void Supreme and Nightmare Supreme suffered backlash, spitting out immortal blood. The fear filling their pupils made them forget their injuries. "Sh-she's an Immortal!"

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.(End of this chapter)
