Chapter 666: One Move

"What did they just say? That Heavenly Court Sect's Sect Master Yun is an immortal?" For the first time in his life, City Lord Liu doubted his own hearing.

In this era, where even half-immortals were rare, an immortal had appeared?

Even in the battle of Hanshui City, only a wisp of Immortal Venerable Dou's divine sense had appeared, not his true form.

Now, in their Chunjiang City, not only had two half-immortals emerged, but an immortal as well?

Venerable Yiqi nodded calmly. "There's no mistake. Only an immortal could have so effortlessly nullified that move."

With things having progressed this far, he no longer considered a sneak attack.

Against an immortal, no tactic would work.

The fate of Chunjiang City's people, whether they lived or died, now depended entirely on the Heavenly Court Sect's will.

"Who would have thought? The ancient Heavenly Court actually has two immortals."

Void Sovereign narrowed his eyes, ancient runes subtly creeping up his wrist.

"Fellow Daoist, if we combine forces to defeat this person, our names will surely be known for eternity. What do you say?"

Nightmare Sovereign showed no fear. This was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to slay an immortal. If they could stall her with words and then launch a sneak attack, there was a chance of success – it was worth a try!

Slaying an immortal would grant them the greatest fortune in the great struggle of this era!

"Excellent."

The two exchanged glances and simultaneously made their move!

They attacked each other, then turned and bolted towards the outside.

Both wanted the other to engage Yunzhi while they themselves made a swift escape.

Facing an immortal, there was simply no chance of victory!

Not even the slightest sliver!

Only by fleeing could they find a glimmer of hope.

The two broke open their respective worlds; one dispelled the Void Realm, and the other unwound the Dream Realm.

Both the Void Realm and the Dream Realm tore open with vast fissures.

Just as half of their bodies had escaped into the outside world, Yunzhi suddenly clapped her hands.

The fissures closed, and they were pulled back by invisible hands.

The immense disparity made them realize that escape was impossible. Only by fighting with all they had could they hope to survive!

"Human follows Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows Dao, and Dao follows nature!"

Void Sovereign vanished, merging with the Void Realm. At this moment, he was the Void Realm, and the Void Realm was him!

His consciousness would be realized by the Void Realm, including the act of killing Yunzhi!

This form was extremely perilous; a slight mistake could lead to him being devoured by the Void Realm, becoming its sustenance.

"Dao is great, Heaven is great, Earth is great, and I too am great!"

Nightmare Sovereign employed a similar technique, merging with the Dream Realm. While gaining power, he also risked becoming a permanent part of the dream, never to awaken again.

Two colossal human faces appeared above Chunjiang City, roaring in unison.

"You forced our hand! You have a fated death tribulation, and it shall be fulfilled today!"

They were the true forms of the Void Realm and the Dream Realm. Every word they uttered represented the will of these realms, imbued with karma.

This was not a threat or intimidation, but a genuine karmic curse!

Spiritual energy inexplicably became chaotic, forming whirlpools that then triggered massive spiritual energy explosions—a disaster that had only a one-in-a-billion chance of occurring!

In the history of the Great Gan Dynasty, an entire city's population had perished in such a catastrophe.

Space twisted into turbulent currents, making it impossible for any tangible object to remain intact—a spatial turbulence that had only a one-in-ten-billion chance of occurring.

A peak Tribulation Transcending expert once lasted only three seconds in such spatial turbulence before being pulverized into dust.

Ancient and modern phantoms appeared: a million-strong army, countless banners, corpses floating across the land... Time lost its meaning at this instant—a time travel event that had only a one-in-ten-billion chance of occurring!

Armies descending from the sky charged menacingly towards Yunzhi, their flags proclaiming to the world that they were the forces of the Great Yu Dynasty!

These were the million Great Yu soldiers whom Nightmare Sovereign had slain in the Dream Realm during the final years of the Great Gan Dynasty!

One impossible event after another, defying all probability, began to manifest, and various adverse effects bore down on Yunzhi.

Furthermore, a colossal shadow enveloped Yunzhi, forming a continuous range of black mountains. These were creations of the void, possessing extremely high density and immeasurable weight, with signs of spatial collapse appearing around them.

Unmoved by the misfortunes and the black mountains, Yunzhi sighed. She extended a delicate, boneless jade hand and brought it down in a hand-chop.

It was utterly unremarkable, the Dao reduced to its simplest form.

The spiritual energy disaster, spatial distortion, time travel, black mountains... all dissolved into nothingness, as if they had never existed.

The heavens and earth were instantly purified.

Two agonizing screams resounded. The Void Realm and the Dream Realm were severed in half by Yunzhi, Chunjiang City reappeared, returning to its original world, colors restored, and the clear blue sky once again overhead.

The two merged Sovereigns were severely wounded and detached from their fused states. They fell to the ground, severed at the waist, creating two large craters.

Venerable Yiqi swallowed hard.

With just one move, she had dealt with two ancient half-immortals.

Was this the power of an immortal?

Back in their original world, the two Sovereigns were still not resigned. They transformed their lower bodies back to their normal appearance, while their upper bodies became transparent, and flew off in different directions.

They had barely flown a few *zhang* before Yunzhi slapped each of them back to the ground, leaving them unable to rise.

They then attempted to send out their primordial spirits, a technique that allowed them to travel thousands of miles in an instant, achieving extreme speed that no one could match. This was their last resort for survival, the very move that had allowed them to survive encounters with the first Emperor Yu and the first Emperor Xia.

To their dismay, as soon as their primordial spirits ascended two feet high, Yunzhi pressed them back down.

"Unexpectedly, this time it was two half-immortals."

Yunzhi took hold of their bodies, then, dragging Void Sovereign by one ankle and Nightmare Sovereign by the other, vanished on the spot.

Before disappearing, she transmitted a message to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

"Once you've dealt with the aftermath in Chunjiang City, come find me on the hillside thirty *li* east of the city."

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou shuddered upon hearing this.

Although they prided themselves on often performing righteous deeds and helping others in Chunjiang City, being called by their Senior Sister like this inexplicably made them feel guilty, as if they had done something wrong in the city.

"It's... it's over?"

"The Heavenly Court Sect Master has left?"

The people of Chunjiang City cheered, seeing the three figures vanish from the sky. They had walked through the gates of hell and survived, a cause for celebration.

"The Heavenly Court Sect Master saved us?"

"Yes, it must have been her!"

"Strange, why can't I recall the battle scenes just now? I clearly remembered the fight up until the two half-immortals."

"Now that you mention it, I seem to be the same."

"Look at your memories. Good thing I wrote it down just now... Strange, why is there nothing on the paper?"

A wave of forgetfulness spread through the city.

"Venerable, do you still remember Sect Master Yun's fighting style?"

Venerable Yiqi shook his head, sighing deeply with a hint of inexplicable melancholy. "I can't remember. It seems the legends are true. No wonder ancient texts don't record the battles of immortals; it's not that they didn't want to, but that they simply couldn't."

"By the way, where is Night Owl?" City Lord Liu remembered they had originally intended to escort Night Owl away.

"Don't bother looking. He was caught in the crossfire during the half-immortals' battle and turned to ash. The Vice Pavilion Master, however, is still alive. I'll go look for him."

Venerable Yiqi stretched his aging back, planning to go find the Vice Pavilion Master and regain some confidence.
