Chapter 433: Prodigies of the Lower Realm

The battlefield continued to expand.

Everywhere one looked, there was only destruction. The heavens were stained crimson and the earth trembled.

Countless mountains had already been reduced to dust, while rivers had been evaporated by the aftermath of terrifying Divine Powers.

Yet amidst this chaotic battlefield, some figures were shining brighter than ever before.

*Whoosh!*

A streak of golden light suddenly pierced through the heavens.

It was so fast that even the Divine Sense of peak Immortal Ascension Realm could barely capture its trajectory.

An Upper Realm Immortal Ascension prodigy had just turned his head when his pupils contracted violently.

The last thing he felt was a scorching sensation burning his flesh and bones before he lost consciousness.

*Pfft!*

The arrow pierced directly through his chest, terrifying Yang Spiritual Energy erupting from the arrowhead, instantly destroying his physical body.

His soul attempted to escape, but before it could travel even a thousand miles, the golden light exploded. His soul was annihilated together with his body.

Another Upper Realm prodigy had fallen.

And the person responsible stood in the distance.

Lu Qingfeng’s long hair fluttered wildly in the violent wind, while his eyes remained incomparably calm, seemingly having returned to that terrifying Great General who led the Demon Subjugation Heavenly Alliance army.

His Mystical Flame Bow, already a Rank-9 Dharma Artifact, was drawn again.

*Boom!*

An arrow condensed from scorching Yang Spiritual Energy appeared between his fingers, surrounded by a terrifying red flame.

At the same time, three miniature suns slowly revolved around his head.

They were not true stars, but manifestations of the True Yang Body, every single one radiating an incomparably terrifying temperature, causing the surrounding space to distort.

Lu Qingfeng’s aura rose steadily, his True Yang Body pushed to its maximum extent.

"Die."

Without hesitation, he released the bowstring.

*Whoosh!*

The arrow tore through space like a bolt of lightning enveloped in heavenly flames.

An Upper Realm Immortal Ascension cultivator attempted to block it with a Dharma Artifact, but the moment the arrow collided with it, the Dharma Artifact shattered with a bang!

The arrow continued forward without slowing down, making the Upper Realm cultivator’s expression changed drastically.

He immediately prepared to unleash a defensive Divine Power and threw out Talismans to buy some time, but the Radiant Dawn Sacred Fire burned through everything.

*Pfft!*

The arrow pierced his forehead, and the instant it did so, his body turned into ashes. Even his soul was burned away by the terrifying flames.

Lu Qingfeng slowly lowered his bow, his expression indifferent before locking onto another target.

At this moment, high above the battlefield, the female Earth Immortal suddenly turned her gaze towards Lu Qingfeng, her eyes containing a trace of surprise.

"A True Yang Body..."

Her soft voice spread across the void.

"And one that possesses an innately awakened Radiant Dawn Sacred Fire."

She stared at Lu Qingfeng for several moments before continuing.

"I didn’t expect such a Constitution to appear in the Mortal World during this Cleansing."

The other two Earth Immortals also glanced over.

The old man holding the black wooden staff narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming somewhat surprised.

The middle aged man in golden armor merely glanced at Lu Qingfeng before withdrawing his gaze.

"What’s so surprising?"

His tone remained indifferent as he spoke.

"It’s already a mature True Yang Body."

The woman frowned slightly.

The middle aged Earth Immortal continued.

"If it were an immature True Yang Body, we could perhaps capture him and bring him back, but now?"

He shook his head.

"Impossible."

The other two remained silent, understanding what he meant.

The True Yang Body was an extremely powerful constitution, and in the Upper Realm, even Golden Immortals would fight over someone possessing such a constitution.

It was not just because of the True Yang Body’s immediate combat power, but because of its potential.

The True Yang Body was the source of the Radiant Dawn Sacred Fire, fundamentally different from the Radiant Dawn Sacred Body that was somewhat common in the Upper Realm.

The Radiant Dawn Sacred Body could be obtained by absorbing the essence of the Radiant Dawn Sacred Fire and comprehending a portion of its will.

Its power was already extraordinary, surpassing ordinary Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

Someone possessing it was almost guaranteed to achieve immortality barring some great accident.

However, the True Yang Body was on another level entirely. It was a Golden Immortal Realm Connate Providence.

A person born with such a Constitution possessed an almost terrifyingly high upper limit.

As long as they did not die prematurely, Golden Immortal Realm was nearly certain, and there was even a possibility of glimpsing the Immortal Sovereign Realm.

Not to mention, a True Yang Body with an innately or naturally awakened Radiant Dawn Sacred Fire possessed extremely high combat power at the same level due to the special nature of the Sacred Fire.

Such a person was extraordinarily valuable even in the Upper Realm, yet now, one had appeared in the Mortal World.

The female Earth Immortal’s eyes flickered.

"Unfortunately." She softly sighed.

The middle aged Earth Immortal shook his head.

"There’s nothing unfortunate about it. If he were taken back, what would happen if he harbored grudges?"

His voice was calm, but the meaning behind it was obvious.

If someone with the potential to reach the Immortal Sovereign Realm escaped back into the Upper Realm carrying hatred and memories of this battle, that would be extremely troublesome.

This thought made the three remember something, their expressions turning a little solemn.

The last time such a thing happened was over a billion years ago, and the aftermath...

A True Yang Body was certainly valuable, but a mature True Yang Body with a grudge against the Upper Realm was a completely different matter.

"Forget it."

The middle aged Earth Immortal calmly said.

"He cannot be brought back; kill him if necessary."

The female Earth Immortal did not respond, her gaze lingering on Lu Qingfeng for another moment before she finally withdrew it.

...

At another location.

Jian Qi and Ying Qingshuang stood back-to-back, their swords moving simultaneously.

*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*

Countless sword lights erupted, enveloping the battlefield around them.

The two of them met for the first time today, but both being genius Sword Cultivators, their understanding of each other’s combat styles became extremely profound in just a short amount of time.

One sword sealed the heavens, and the other sword shattered the earth.

Several Upper Realm Immortal Ascension prodigies were caught between them, their expressions changing.

"Break through!"

One of them roared, several supreme Divine Powers erupting simultaneously.

Yet, Jian Qi merely raised his sword and brought it down.

A single slash descended, possessing the might to carve heaven and earth in two.

*Boom!*

The Divine Powers were cut apart.

Ying Qingshuang’s seven black swords followed immediately afterward.

Seven terrifying streaks of sword light pierced through the remaining enemies as blood splashed across the heavens.

The two continued moving afterwards, not stopping for a moment.

...

Elsewhere.

Wang Daoyun was still killing.

With a divine sword in hand, he had become a terrifying presence on the battlefield.

At first, no one paid much attention to him, after all, he was merely an Immortal Ascension cultivator.

But gradually, the Upper Realm prodigies began to realize something was wrong.

The number of Tribulation Transcendence cultivators Wang Daoyun had killed had already exceeded a thousand in just a few minutes, and he showed no signs of stopping any time soon.

His white robes remained spotless, and his expression was still terrifyingly calm, but his Heaven and Earth Immortal Sword Intent continued to spread.

Everywhere the sword passed, a life vanished.

Even some Upper Realm Immortal Ascension cultivators began avoiding his path.

But Wang Daoyun did not pursue them. His objective had never changed: kill the Tribulation Transcendence cultivators and reduce the enemy’s numbers.

It was an extremely simple strategy, but the results were astonishing.

The hundreds of thousands of Tribulation Transcendence cultivators who originally seemed like an unstoppable tide were gradually being reduced, and Wang Daoyun was one of the biggest contributors to this.

...

The Unrivaled Fist God had also found a peculiar rhythm.

He would charge into a group of Upper Realm Tribulation Transcendence cultivators and punch out with full force.

Several people would be severely injured, but instead of wasting time chasing them, he would turn and leave.

"Kill them!"

He would roar towards the surrounding Lower Realm cultivators.

The wounded Upper Realm cultivators would then be surrounded by several Lower Realm Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.

Together, they would finish them off.

The Sovereign of Storms, Long Wanchun, seemed to have reached the same understanding.

The two never discussed it, yet they acted almost identically.

Both severely injured groups of Upper Realm cultivators before leaving them for the Lower Realm army to finish.

It was not efficient for killing individual enemies, but it was incredibly efficient for reducing the battlefield pressure.

Meanwhile, Ao Longchen, the same silly True Dragon hatched from an egg Tian Yongheng had obtained from the system centuries ago, was even more terrifying.

He did not even reveal his True Dragon form, but every time he attacked, an Upper Realm Immortal Ascension prodigy died.

He rampaged across the battlefield like an ancient ferocious beast.

The Upper Realm prodigies could not withstand even one blow from him.

No matter how strong these so-called prodigies were, how could they compare to a True Dragon cub at the same realm, belonging to one of the most terrifying races in heaven and earth?
