Chapter 784: Gray Mist Immortal

"Who are you?" Yunzhi observed the other person, sighing inwardly.

Her premonition was indeed correct; her junior brother truly had a knack for stirring up trouble with unexpected big figures.

Although she didn't know the exact circumstances, since the Dragon Clan's ancient ancestor was here, it was likely inseparable from her junior brother, and the same applied to the grey-mist immortal before her.

Fortunately, before she left, she had told her Grand Master that if she encountered insurmountable difficulties, she should seek her out—her premonition had proven true.

Immortals shrouded in grey mist rarely ventured outside. The only ones who could capture his attention were ancient immortals like Ying Tianxian and Ao Ling, a stray fish.

Now there was to be one more, named Lu Yang, likely informed by Ao Ling.

A half-immortal and a Nascent Soul cultivator—what he had thought would be an easy task—suddenly saw the emergence of a female cultivator claiming to be the leader of the Heavenly Court Sect, whose cultivation reached the pinnacle of creation.

What was the Heavenly Court Sect?

Hadn't he overthrown the Tinder Dynasty? How could anyone still know about the Heavenly Court?

Furthermore, if they knew about the Heavenly Court, how could they not know of his existence?

Within the grey mist, the immortal frowned. He did not sense any karmic connection with this Heavenly Court Sect leader.

The grey-mist immortal had no intention of answering Yunzhi's question. He merely wanted to kill Lu Yang and Ao Ling. As for this self-proclaimed Heavenly Court Sect leader, she was nothing to fear.

Moreover, he was superior to immortals like Ying Tianxian, truly the foremost figure in the immortal path!

"Die!"

The grey-mist immortal launched a resolute attack. A potent aura of destruction permeated the collapsing space, solidifying into a Heavenly Blade of Light, representing death and finality. Engulfed in Nirvana Immortal Lightning, the blade fiercely slashed towards Ao Ling.

The Heavenly Blade of Light obliterated everything it touched, turning it into nothingness. It was far beyond what a mere nascent Devouring Dao Fruit could compare to.

Not to mention Ao Ling, who only possessed an immortal body; even true immortals would not dare to withstand this strike head-on!

As if possessing foreknowledge, Yunzhi took a step, appearing before Ao Ling and lightly sending out a palm strike that rippled through space.

As the spatial ripples collided with the Heavenly Blade of Light, Yunzhi's gaze met the grey-mist immortal's, unleashing a silent shockwave that threatened to level the entire East Sea!

The East Sea shook violently, with mountains roaring and tsunamis raging. Creatures living far from the East Sea's borders, unaware of what was happening, felt an inexplicable panic, as if a great catastrophe was imminent!

Those attending the birthday banquet trembled in fear, their hearts chilled. An immortal's battle—something that had only occurred in ancient times—was unexpectedly recurring here!

Even Meng Jingzhou, who had grown accustomed to facing great dangers alongside Lu Yang, was startled, never imagining things would escalate to the point where his senior sister would fight an immortal.

The one with the most complex emotions, however, was the Old Dragon King.

Today was his 9,000th birthday. First, Daoist Sanshan attempted to seize his body, then Ao Ling, the ancient ancestor, appeared. Later, three half-immortals from Great Qian engaged in a fierce battle, which ultimately escalated into a battle between immortals.

While a birthday should have surprises, there was no need for so many layered ones; he was old and couldn't handle it.

"From your stance, it seems you're unwilling to yield?" the grey-mist immortal sneered. If she continued to obstruct him, he wouldn't mind killing her too!

As he spoke, the power of the Heavenly Blade of Light in the grey-mist immortal's hand increased by another third.

Yunzhi softly uttered four words, like a transcendent fairy untouched by the mortal world.

"Reverse Yin and Yang."

The Heavenly Blade of Light, originally imbued with destructive intent, suddenly became vibrant with life, emitting a gentle glow, completely devoid of any attacking force.

Rocks enveloped by the soft light grew a layer of moss in the blink of an eye.

Schools of fish covered by the gentle light saw their ages increase at an astonishing rate.

Unlike the "Reverse Yin and Yang" technique Lu Yang had learned, this was a genuine grand divine ability of "Reverse Yin and Yang," transforming the Heavenly Blade of Light, which possessed ultimate destructive properties, into a force of creation!

"What is your relationship with the Nine-Layered Immortal?" the grey-mist immortal exclaimed, recognizing the move as one he had seen the Nine-Layered Immortal perform.

"No relation. This is merely an ordinary spell attack," Yunzhi replied calmly, as if what she had done was trivial. "Above the heavens and below, I alone am honored!" The grey-mist immortal pointed one finger to the sky and another to the ground, uttering a true word: "This world shall perish!"

At the other end of the sky, fierce flames suddenly ignited. Scarlet fire clouds resembled the opening of the underworld's gates, as scorching fire rain descended from above, turning everything it touched into ash!

The night sky was illuminated by the fire, appearing like day, yet far more desolate than daylight.

Three hundred thousand years ago, the grey-mist immortal had used this very move to bring about the demise of the Tinder Dynasty!

He wanted to see how this Sect Leader Yun would respond!

Some Integration Stage ancestors looked stunned, muttering to themselves, "Heavenly fire descends! This is the fire of the Three Calamities from Buddhist legends, destined to bring the world to an end."

Others among the Integration Stage ancestors showed expressions of despair. Even with their cultivation, just a single drop of this fire would cause them to perish in the roaring flames, burning to charcoal.

If this fire rain were allowed to fall, the entire East Sea would be engulfed in flames, enough to dry up all its waters!

"Return Wind and Reverse Fire," Yunzhi calmly uttered four more words, as if unfazed by the heavenly fire's terror. Her hand gestures changed, forming an obscure seal.

The heavenly fire vanished, as if it had never appeared.

Everyone looked bewildered, as if they had forgotten what had just transpired.

Only Lu Yang, with the help of Immortal Indestructible, witnessed the entire process:

After his senior sister uttered the words "Return Wind and Reverse Fire," the heavenly fire, which was about to touch the sea surface, retreated back into the sky. The panicked ancestors who had been fleeing stumbled backward to their original positions.

It was as if an old movie Lu Yang had seen in his previous life was rewinding, the scene reverting to its starting point.

A grand divine ability related to time: Return Wind and Reverse Fire.

"Well, that's something!" Despite witnessing Yunzhi's methods, the grey-mist immortal remained confident, believing Yunzhi to be nothing special. Yunzhi, too lazy to speak, took steps that caused golden lotuses to bloom in the air, their light piercing through the long-standing dark clouds.

Yunzhi retaliated with a backhanded punch. With a snap, the fist rapidly approached, filling the grey-mist immortal's surprised vision.

*Bang*—Yunzhi's fist landed squarely on the grey-mist immortal's face!

The punch was so fast that the grey-mist immortal didn't even have time to react!

Yunzhi delivered a barrage of punches, all aimed at his face. She wanted to know what the grey-mist immortal truly looked like.

The grey-mist immortal finally understood the disparity between him and Yunzhi. These punches were immensely powerful, as if imbued with the strength of countless stars; each blow felt like an entire universe crashing down, causing him unbearable agony.

The grey-mist immortal felt the urge to retreat. If this continued, not only would he fail to kill Lu Yang and Ao Ling, but his own life would be in peril!

Under the relentless attacks, the grey mist became extremely unstable, showing signs of dissipating at any moment, no longer able to protect the grey-mist immortal.

Finally, as another heavy punch from Yunzhi landed, the grey mist protecting his face dispersed, revealing the grey-mist immortal's true appearance.

Standing below, Lu Yang, who had been observing the battle through Immortal Indestructible's divine sense, froze.

He felt a rare mix of absurdity and fear.

That face belonged to no one else but Immortal Indestructible!
