Chapter 876: The Struggle Begins

The value of the Immortality Medicine is immense, whether it be Spirit Sword Holy Palace or King Yama’s Palace, upon receiving news at the earliest opportunity, dispatched numerous powerful individuals to this location.

At this moment, both sides arrived almost simultaneously, and both sides had numerous people.

The Spirit Sword Holy Palace boasted a force of fifty-one people, most of whom were powerful individuals in the Supreme Realm. Among them were four powerful individuals in the Saint Realm, with the leader being one in the Ninth Layer of the Saint Realm.

"The Palace Master has arrived, how wonderful!"

Jujue Saint Heir looked overjoyed, his gaze falling upon the elderly figure in the Ninth Layer of the Saint Realm.

This elder was somewhat short in stature, his robe shabby, reeking of alcohol, most striking was his ruddy, bulbous nose, and a pair of endlessly intoxicated eyes as if he had never been sober.

This was the current Palace Master of the Spirit Sword Holy Palace: the Maniacal Wine Sword Saint!

It was said that although this person had extremely high Innate talent in swordsmanship and remarkable strength, he was extremely fond of alcohol, perpetually intoxicated, though his skills were undeniably formidable, equal to the Heart Sword Sacred Palace’s Question Heart Sword Saint and Nanshu Jian Gong’s Thunder Sound Sword Saint.

A warrior of this caliber ought to delve deep into the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land to fight for the Immortality Medicine, yet surprisingly he remained near the vicinity of the Fifth region, leading the team in person this time.

"Jujue, you have done very well this time, once we return, I shall ensure just rewards!"

The Maniacal Wine Sword Saint, with eyes filled with intoxication, glanced at Jujue Saint Heir and smiled with a drunken feeling, burping amidst his words, his image rather unrefined.

"Ah, His Highness the Nineteenth Prince is here too, this humble one greets Your Highness!"

At this moment, the Maniacal Wine Sword Saint noticed Su Han beside Jujue Saint Heir and staggeringly performed a courtesy bow.

"Nineteenth Prince? Such a narrow road for old enemies, since that’s the case, this time you shall die here!"

A chilling voice echoed from the other side like a cold wind brushing the face, sending chills down the spine.

Though the Spirit Sword Holy Palace is formidable, it is ultimately a sacred place within the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, while King Yama’s Palace is not only an Immortal Force but also the foremost dark power in the Central Plains. Even though the Ten Great Shadow Marshals weren’t present this time, strong warriors were present.

Su Han turned his head to see the speaker was a half-human, half-bird entity, possessing a bald avian head yet a human body, while his hands transformed into black wings, and his feet into strong and powerful eagle claws.

This person’s strength was considerable, also at the Ninth Layer of the Saint Realm.

"Yin Ya Demon Saint!"

Su Han’s gaze sharpened, recognizing the Saint’s identity. Although not one of the Ten Great Shadow Marshals, this person ranked among the top three of the seventy-two Directors.

This was the Fifth region, and nearby were few powerful individuals, Yin Ya Demon Saint happened to be in the Sixth region. Upon receiving the message, he immediately summoned the King Yama’s Palace’s strong warriors within the Fifth and Sixth regions, forming a squad of forty-nine to rush here.

Both the Maniacal Wine Sword Saint and Yin Ya Demon Saint were powerful individuals in the Ninth Layer of the Saint Realm, who was stronger would only be known after combat. However, apart from Yin Ya Demon Saint, King Yama’s Palace brought five Saints, while the Spirit Sword Holy Palace had only three including the Maniacal Wine Sword Saint, there was a considerable disparity in Saint combat power.

"Rest assured, Your Highness, as long as this humble one is here, I won’t let him harm a single strand of your hair!"

Although having no deep connection with Su Han, as a vassal of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, the Maniacal Wine Sword Saint could not just sit and watch upon encountering a situation now, to do so would be a grave offense.

"Heh, such bold arrogance, if I wish to kill him, you won’t be able to protect him!"

Yin Ya Demon Saint sneered coldly, his gaze chilling, akin to the Grim Reaper’s stare, not considering the Maniacal Wine Sword Saint at all, he intended to claim both the Immortality Medicine and Su Han!

Regarding Yin Ya Demon Saint’s hostility, Su Han did not speak further, since both sides were already irreconcilable enemies. Wasting breath here in a verbal altercation would be futile.

As for who lives and who dies, it remains uncertain!

"Director, I sensed intense Fire Spiritual Energy, indeed this is a group of volcanoes below!"

At this moment, a red-robed man beside Yin Ya Demon Saint spoke, having cultivated Fire Attribute Technique, his awareness of flames was keener, feeling the magma within the mountains now.

"It seems there indeed is Immortality Medicine here!"

Yin Ya Demon Saint turned his attention away from Su Han and Maniacal Wine Sword Saint, his main goal here was the Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir. As for Su Han and Maniacal Wine Sword Saint, he intended to deal with them slowly after obtaining the Immortality Medicine.

Boom!

Yin Ya Demon Saint opened his mouth, spewing a black light that transformed into a thousand-meter-sized Yin Ya, obliterating the mountaintop, instantly releasing scarlet, scalding magma which engulfed the mountain’s Spiritual Medicines, transforming it into a wasteland.

Rumble!

As Yin Ya Demon Saint destroyed a mountain peak, the other forty-eight peaks shook violently as well, with dormant volcanoes erupting, magma soared to the sky, swiftly spreading, engulfing everything.

Numerous Spiritual Medicines scrambled frantically, but most couldn’t escape, engulfed by magma, incinerated to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, all forty-nine peaks erupted, the whole mountain range submerged by magma, transformed into a sea of magma, scorching heat causing discomfort, the rolling heat waves seemingly capable of burning flesh to crisp.

"Disturbing my serene cultivation, you all deserve to die!"

A turbulent wave of fiery Spirit surged out, overwhelming pressure akin to volcanic eruption, causing weaker individuals to bleed from their seven orifices, toppling into magma, quickly turning into skeletons, perishing without a trace.

Blazing crimson, magma bubbling, a fiery figure emerged from the magma, precisely the divine bird Su Han had seen before.

Ten meters tall, entirely crimson, flame feathers, magma wings, resplendent glow, imposing might, its fiery eyes gazed downward like a god overlooking ants.

At this moment, everyone beheld it!

"Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir!"

Yin Ya Demon Saint’s eyes gleamed with radiance, Maniacal Wine Sword Saint’s drunken haze vanished, others were stunned and frightened.

At this moment, speculation was confirmed, there was indeed Immortality Medicine here, and it was the Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir!

"Ninth Layer Saint Realm, this Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir is about to break through to Intermediate Grade!"

Based on the Vermilion Bird’s strength, Yin Ya Demon Saint quickly discerned its Grade.

The Low Grade Immortality Medicine possessed Saint Realm strength, while the Intermediate Grade Immortality Medicine owned strength in the First or Second Layer of Great Emperor Realm. This Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir was on the cusp of transformation.

Using magma to cultivate, aspiring a breakthrough, to elevate its Grade to Intermediate, it was now incensed at the intrusion, consequently choosing not to flee but intending to eradicate everyone.

"Seize the Immortality Medicine!"

The emergence of the Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir, akin to a spark igniting explosives, Yin Ya Demon Saint charged ahead, Maniacal Wine Sword Saint was equally determined, directly heading towards the Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir.

The powerful individuals from Spirit Sword Holy Palace and King Yama’s Palace simultaneously rushed forth, officially igniting the battle for the Immortality Medicine!
