Chapter 1658: The World-Suppressing Seal
There were pairs of True Immortals from the Church of All Spirits stationed around the walls of Blazing Firmament Immortal City at regular intervals, and the sky over the ancient city was completely covered in a massive formation.
“Even Immortal Lords will be instantly reduced to puddles of blood if they try to force their way through the Divine Capital Blood Transformation Formation. There’s no need to worry. Come on, have a drink!” freēwēbnovel.com
“Heh heh, you’re right! And in the face of the Church of All Spirits’ prestige, who’d be dumb enough to throw their lives away?”
Two Void Realm True Immortals of the Church of All Spirits sat cross-legged on a stretch of wall, sharing a drink. One was a thin-faced man in yellow. His companion was a stalwart middle-aged man with blood-red hair.
“That’s not all. We’ve got His Excellency Ming Xing with us to oversee this operation. Even other Immortal Kings have to treat him with respect.”
“Strange. Just what’s going on to warrant His Excellency Ming Xing’s personal involvement?”
“Who knows? There’s no understanding how a top expert like him thinks, so let’s not waste our time trying.”
When they spoke of “His Excellency Ming Xing,” both Void Realm True Immortals’ expressions were full of trepidation and awe.
There were nine mighty chief libationers in the Church of All Spirits, and Ming Xing was one of them. He was an Immortal King, and he was cold and cruel by nature. He was also among the strongest of the chief libationers.
“Hm? Someone’s here.” Suddenly, the yellow-robed man caught a glimpse of two figures headed their way.
“Stop right there. Don’t you know that the Church of All Spirits has sealed the city? If you don’t want to die, hurry up and scram!”
The yellow-robed man rose to block their path. Murderous intent seethed around him.
But his companion, the stalwart middle-aged man, looked cautious. He whispered a warning, “Be careful. It’s highly likely that they’re both powerful experts!”
The man in yellow didn’t look at all concerned. “What’s there to be afraid of? With the Divine Capital Blood Transformation Formation here, it doesn’t matter who shows up. No one will be able to get past us!”
These two new arrivals were, of course, Su Yi and Wen Zhiqiu.
When he heard the two Void Realm True Immortals’ conversation, blatantly undisguised murderous intent appeared on Wen Zhiqiu’s face. “Fellow Daoist Su, shall we fight our way in?”
He could tell at a glance that the yellow-robed man was a fox yao, while the stalwart middle-aged man was a toad. Both were in the Void Realm.
Experts of their caliber could preside over entire regions and exert powerful influence, but to an Immortal King like Wen Zhiqiu, they might as well be paintings on a wall.
“Better not to alert our enemies. Let’s have a look around the city first,” Su Yi said casually.
Wen Zhiqiu nodded.
The yellow-robed fox yao couldn’t help but grin in amusement. “You really think you can enter the city? Go ahead and try it! Come on! I’d like to see just how you do it!”
All of Blazing Firmament Immortal City was covered in the Divine Capital Blood Transformation Formation. How could anyone with even the barest shred of rationality try to barge in?
Su Yi completely disregarded both yao cultivators and walked right on over, entirely unperturbed. After a brief examination, he stretched out his right hand. Wisps of inscrutable blade light gathered at his fingertips, then cut a straight line through the air.
Kccch!
The power of a formation surged into the air, connecting heaven and earth like a dense black curtain.
This was the power of the Divine Capital Blood Transformation Formation. It could easily melt even Immortal Lords into puddles of blood.
But that thick black curtain tore beneath Su Yi’s fingertip, offering no more resistance than paper!
A moment later, Su Yi and Wen Zhiqiu slipped through with ease.
The yellow-robed man’s jaw hung slack, and his eyes bulged. “What the fuck?! Did you see that?! Are my eyes playing tricks on me?”
The stalwart middle-aged man freaked out too. He inwardly cried out, This is bad!
But just as he was about to report to his superiors…
The terrifying power of an Immortal King descended upon him, instantly reducing him and his friend to puddles of blood. They were destroyed, body and soul!
From beginning to end, Su Yi didn’t so much as glance at them. He just headed straight for the local branch of the House of Little Joys, and Wen Zhiqiu followed.
……
The streets of Blazing Firmament Immortal City were typically crowded, but now, they were completely deserted.
In the city’s eastern district, many of the once-towering ancient buildings had collapsed into rubble.
Meanwhile, an oppressive confrontation took place above the ruins.
Qing Wei, Fang Yourong, Fang Han, Liang Wenyu, and several others were taking refuge within a glittering golden barrier.
Immortal Queen Liu Yun stood in front of the barrier. Her snow-white hair reached her waist, and she was a slender, graceful beauty. She looked like a girl in her teens, and she had a pure, glittering golden mark at the center of her forehead. It was shaped like a six-petaled plum blossom, and it lent her an additional holy air.
However, her predicament was utterly precarious!
Ink-black, strange, and calamitous power enveloped the area, like waters at high tide. It relentlessly assailed the area around her.
Three feet further, and that terrifying power would reach her.
Moreover, her vital energy was in disarray, and her face was pallid and bloodless. Blood dripped from the corners of her lips, and her essence, qi, and spirit were burning!
“Master…” Qing Wei’s heart clenched. She was frantic with worry; it was obvious to her that her master was in dire straits, like an arrow at the end of its flight. She wouldn’t last much longer.
Fang Yourong and Fang Han had bleak, worried looks on their faces.
The experts of the Church of All Spirits had attacked just two days prior, destroying the local branch of the House of Little Joys and killing many of its experts.
If Immortal Queen Liu Yun hadn’t intervened at a critical juncture, everyone in the barrier would have died a long time ago!
A sigh resounded from afar.
“Your stubbornness won’t save you, so why bother?”
A group of experts stood there. Their leader was a man seated casually in a chair. He was young and dressed in imperial robes, and his face was like pure jade.
Ming Xing!
One of the ten chief libationers of the Church of All Spirits and a true Miracle Realm Immortal King!
He sat there casually, as if all of this were perfectly normal. There was a jade table to his side, upon which stood a beautiful jade cup with steaming hot tea.
A charming Immortal Lady stood to his side, keeping his teacup full. She respectfully averted her gaze, and spoke with the utmost respect.
Her aside, around a dozen other Immortal Lords and Ladies stood behind Chief Libationer Ming Xing. All were Saint Realm experts of the yao path!
They clustered around Ming Xing like stars gathering around the moon. This only made it all the more obvious how extraordinary his status was.
“You’ve offended the House of Little Joys. Sooner or later, your Church of All Spirits will meet its end for this,” Immortal Queen Liu Yun said coldly.
She held a glittering golden lamp aloft in her outstretched hand. It manifested immortal light, which condensed into a golden barrier to protect Qing Wei, Fang Han, and the others on all sides.
Her other hand gripped a fiery, blood-red Daoist seal. It was carved with the words “Suppressing Worlds” in characters the size of a fly’s head.
The World-Suppressing Seal!
It was this treasure that had unleashed the dazzling flames that had just barely managed to block that strange, calamitous power.
As for that power? It originated from the fist-sized black treasure tower hovering in front of Chief Libationer Ming Xing.
The tower had eight stories, and it was swathed in pitch-black calamitous power. It had a dense, strange and taboo air.
“Hah! To think an Immortal Queen would waste her breath on such toothless, unseemly threats. Don’t you think you’re making a fool out of yourself?” Chief Libationer Ming Xing raised his teacup to his lips and took a sip. When his gaze landed on the Daoist seal in Immortal Queen Liu Yun’s hands, his heart filled with irrepressible fervor and longing.
The World-Suppressing Seal was a supreme treasure of the House of Little Joys. Yao Sovereign Ruyi had refined it herself. It was a true Great Realm immortal treasure!
Such treasures all had unimaginably vast power. Their strength was simply unbelievable.
Chief Libationer Ming Xing knew that in the years following the long Age of Fallen Immortals, Great Realm immortal treasures had become extremely scarce. Practically no one but those peak powerhouses deep in seclusion owned such treasures!
Yet now, Immortal Queen Liu Yun had one at her disposal. How could Ming Xing not be red-eyed with envy?
If Immortal Queen Liu Yun hadn’t suffered a divine tribulation years ago, weakening her vitality, the World-Suppressing Seal would be far stronger than this, thought Chief Libaioner Ming Xing. When this operation ends, I need to find a way to get my hands on the seal, no matter what it takes.
It was a supreme treasure of the Immortal Dao. It hadn’t even displayed its full power, yet it was able to block the calamitous power of a divine tribulation. Who wouldn’t have been astonished?
As he pondered, Chief Libationer Ming Xing stretched out his finger and tapped the air.
Boom!
The fist-sized black treasure tower in front of him lit up, unleashing a tidal wave of calamitous power that ruthlessly shot at Immortal Queen Liu Yun.
Although the World-Suppressing Seal managed to stave off this power in the end, Immortal Queen Liu Yun still felt the impact.
Her delicate frame quivered, and blood dripped from the corners of her lips. Her vital energy was on the brink of collapse, and her beautiful face was increasingly pale and translucent.
But she didn’t back down. On the contrary, she fought all the harder, going so far as to exhaust her life force to power the seal!
They were at a stalemate, but it was obvious that Immortal Queen Liu Yun wouldn’t last much longer.
“Chief Libationer, it’s time to send these three captives on their way,” said the Immortal Lady pouring Chief Libationer Ming Xing’s tea.
Ming Xing laughed. “This time, allow me.”
As he spoke, he rose, and accepted a white bone bow and a black arrow from the Immortal Lady.
“Release the prey!” bellowed an Immortal Lord of the Church of All Spirits.
Instantly, a group arrived before them, escorting three prisoners, two men and one woman. All were experts of the House of Little Joys.
One of them was Xie Hengqiu, the manager of the Blazing Firmament Immortal City branch of the House of Little Joys.
He was a peak Void Realm True Immortal, yet now, he was a filthy, disheveled captive. He looked utterly wretched.
Qing Wei and the others were instantly enraged, and even Immortal Queen Liu Yun found this difficult to bear.
“Xie Hengqiu, do you blame me?”
Xie Hengqiu raised his head and squeezed out a blood-smeared smile. “Your Excellency, I’ve never been the type to lay blame on others. It’s just death. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Immortal Queen Liu Yun said solemnly, “Even if all of us die today, I dare say with certainty that when Immortal Sovereign Ruyi returns, she’ll crush the Church of All Spirits to avenge us!”
