Chapter 300 - 125: Immortal Gate Emerges, 9-Zhang Corpse Puppet, One-Palm Annihilation

Su Bai found the altar before him far more interesting than Xie Nian True Master.

This kind of altar, capable of exchanging one item for another, was quite intriguing.

It was the first time he had ever seen such a thing.

"Hm?"

Xie Nian True Master’s pupils contracted.

A heavy shadow fell over his heart.

He had acquired this altar by chance, and it was the greatest opportunity of his life.

He never expected the man before him to have his eyes on it.

He couldn’t help but become more vigilant.

"You want my altar?"

A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but a cold, sinister smile appeared on his face.

"You’re courting death."

"Die!"

His once-calm voice suddenly became shrill!

In an instant, the several-hundred-zhang-high cavernous Earth Palace was completely submerged in the sound of wailing ghosts and sinister winds.

Xie Nian True Master let out a long cry as his body suddenly transformed into an intangible bloody light and vanished into the void.

At the same time, the void trembled, and ripples spread out one after another.

It was as if one Gate of Different Space after another was slowly opening.

Ferocious-looking Evil Ghosts, Fierce Ghosts, and Fierce Demons emerged from the Otherworldly Gates, surging toward the stationary Su Bai like a torrential wave.

The Supreme Nine Destruction Body was the most infamous Evil Skill of the last ten thousand years.

Once one’s Cultivation reached the Returning to the True Realm, they could condense Demon Ghosts and create Gates of Different Space to house all the Demon Ghosts in the world.

The ultimate goal was to merge with countless Demon Ghosts and become one.

Now, the Gates of Different Space opened, and hordes of vicious Demon Ghosts swarmed out.

Resentful and furious Evil Qi raged uncontrollably!

As for Xie Nian True Master, he had already disappeared into the void, his aura concealed among the Demon Ghosts, making him nearly impossible to detect or observe.

ROAR!

Amidst the shrieks of the demon horde, the Silver-White Dog Demon leaped up, its body swelling in size as it let out a deafening roar.

BANG!

The moment the roar erupted, a visible current of blood-red energy exploded. The shockwave spread outwards like countless sharp blades, slashing at the endless Demon Ghosts.

This white dog, once somewhat weak, was now, under Su Bai’s guidance, able to hold its own, having become a peerless Great Demon.

WAIL!

Amidst miserable screams, the Silver-White Dog Demon charged recklessly, its claws and teeth sharp, engaging in a bloody battle with the Demon Ghosts.

The vast cavernous Earth Palace shook violently, and dust suddenly rained down.

’That Dog Demon...’

Within the void, Xie Nian True Master narrowed his eyes, his figure drifting unpredictably.

He had only been resurrected for a short while. His Divine Spirit was still weak, and his Physique was far from its peak, so naturally, he didn’t dare to fight carelessly.

In fact, even at his peak, he rarely fought personally, preferring to use Demon Ghosts to battle his enemies.

The only formidable Demon Ghost he now possessed was his own White Bone Demon Body. His other powerful minions had almost all perished in a bloody battle long ago, leaving him with no strong Demon Ghosts to command.

A thousand thoughts raced through his mind when a sudden chill shot through his heart.

He abruptly looked up and saw that the white-robed youth, still standing in the same spot, had turned to look at him at some unknown point. His indifferent gaze fell upon the void.

And as luck would have it, it landed right on him.

’Dammit! He found me!’

Xie Nian True Master’s heart skipped a beat.

He was using the Feather Transformation Concealment Technique. Below the Feather Transformation Realm, even a Ninth-Layer Void Realm Cultivator would have trouble detecting him.

Moreover, he was hidden among countless Demon Ghosts.

’How did this person find me?’

His heart trembled, and he immediately wanted to flee.

HUMMM!

However, in the next moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly bloomed in the dark cavern!

Surging rays of immense golden light burst forth like ten thousand sharp swords being unsheathed. They pierced through the thick blood mist and slammed into the surrounding mountain walls.

RUMBLE RUMBLE!

In an instant, the earth shook, the mountains swayed, and dust filled the air.

The countless golden rays intersected, outlining a gigantic, almost tangible Immortal Gate that stood between heaven and earth.

The moment this Immortal Gate appeared, the ground above the cavernous Earth Palace cracked and shattered. Huge swathes of soil and rock churned and shot into the sky, revealing the dark, starry expanse just before dawn.

"Oh no! It’s an earthquake!"

"The mountain is collapsing..."

"Heavens!"

Such a massive commotion was noticed even by the villagers in the nearby mountains, despite the darkness of night.

Countless villagers, who had been kneeling on the ground, looked up in horror.

Before their eyes, they saw a vast and magnificent Immortal Gate rising high into the air.

Below it, countless Demon Ghosts let out desperate howls and shrieks as they writhed hideously.

"It’s... it’s an Immortal from the heavens, slaying demons!"

The crowd of villagers was stunned, while Li Qing, who had been intended as a sacrifice, was overjoyed.

Gazing at the surging Immortal Gate, every one of them felt a sense of awe.

Even from a thousand zhang away, they could feel a heart-stopping pressure.

Some even saw, in a daze, a white-robed youth like an Exiled Immortal standing at the center of the Immortal Gate.

The man stood in the sky without the slightest hint of floating, as if he were treading on solid ground. His aura was as profound as a towering mountain and as vast as the sea.

For a moment, he seemed to become the sole focus of the entire world.

"Damn it! What kind of technique is this!?"

Beneath the cascading golden light, Xie Nian True Master’s utterly astonished and slightly terrified expression was revealed.

’There are no fluctuations of True Qi, nor is there any Power of Incense. There isn’t even a ripple of the world’s essence energy. What kind of power is this? Who in the world is this person? Could it be that while I slept for several thousand years, some great change has occurred in the Thirteen Provinces of the World?’

Xie Nian True Master’s expression was filled with dread, but his actions were swift. Without the slightest hesitation, seeing the situation was dire, he immediately used a technique to escape.

At the same time, he formed countless Finger Seals, completely tearing open several Otherworldly Space portals.

ROAR!

Amidst an earth-shattering roar, a ferocious Corpse Puppet with disheveled hair and covered in a foul-smelling liquid stepped into the world.

Su Bai stood high in the sky, looking down with a calm expression, showing no change whatsoever.

’This Xie Nian True Master once had a Feather Transformation Realm Cultivation. To be able to revive after being dead for so many years, he must have some trump cards.’

He looked on indifferently. The Corpse Puppet was nine zhang tall, wreathed in black qi, with chunks of blood-colored muscle bulging, looking incredibly fierce and powerful.

BANG!

The moment it set foot on the ground, the earth within several hundred zhang of it sank in unison. Then, soil and rock, carrying thick trees with them, shot into the sky in an instant!

But the fastest was still the Corpse Puppet!

This Corpse Puppet roared as it strode into the sky, its tyrannical body compressing the surrounding air and creating a series of sonic booms!

In less than a breath’s time, the Corpse Puppet, like a rainbow piercing the sun, charged toward Su Bai, who stood in the void before the Immortal Gate.

The Corpse Puppet’s fighting style was extremely simple: a head-on collision using pure physical strength.

To crush the enemy with absolute, naked power!

In fact, this Corpse Puppet was Xie Nian True Master’s trump card. Its Physique was even stronger than that of a typical Feather Transformation Realm expert.

It seemed only a Great Power who had achieved Ascension to Immortality could surpass it in terms of pure physical strength.

But...

"Comparing strength with me?"

A smile touched Su Bai’s lips as he spoke calmly amidst the sound of tearing air.

In the void, the violent airflow roared like thunder. In the mountains, ghosts wailed, the earth shook, rocks tumbled, and dust billowed.

But his calm voice suppressed all the clamor in the world.

WHOOSH!

Then, Su Bai slowly raised his hand. There was nothing exquisite about the movement.

A single palm pressed down!

The palm strike looked extremely casual; an ordinary person swatting a mosquito would be more serious.

But as the palm descended, everyone’s vision went black.

They were plunged into complete darkness.

It was as if the sky itself had fallen!

BOOM!

The next moment, a massive explosion erupted in mid-air.

An inhuman roar followed.

The Corpse Puppet, like a meteor falling to earth, trailing a blazing shockwave of fire from intense friction, completely vanished into thin air against the dark night sky!

In just an instant.

The earth trembled, the blood mist dissipated, and all the Demon Ghosts perished!

"How is this possible!?"

The fleeing Xie Nian True Master felt a sharp pain in his Heart Spirit and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood.

Without needing to look back, he knew that the Corpse Puppet connected to his Heart Spirit had been killed by that person.

’But how could it be so fast? Just how strong is he!?’

Xie Nian True Master’s heart seethed with killing intent, but feeling the faint gaze from behind, he couldn’t help but quicken his escape.

To suffer such a heavy blow right after being resurrected, how could he not be filled with hatred?

But he had gone through so much to be revived; how could he possibly fight someone before recovering his strength?

’One Corpse Puppet is nothing. Mortals in this world are as numerous as grains of sand. How hard could it be to refine another one?’

As these thoughts raced, his Tunneling Speed increased. In a flash, he had crossed several hundred li and had already escaped the mountains.

He glanced behind him casually and headed toward Ningjiang City.

"And where can you run?"

However, at that very moment, a vast voice that filled the sky, accompanied by a violent torrent of air, surged down from above.

A chill ran through Xie Nian True Master’s heart, and he abruptly stopped.

Looking up, he saw Su Bai, within the surging golden Immortal Gate, strike down with his palm once more.

This palm strike descended from the heavens!

Amidst the blossoming golden light, it was like a ten-thousand-zhang-tall peak rumbling downwards. The entire world seemed to tremble, and even from a hundred li away, the ground began to sink under the immense pressure of its momentum.

The hundred-zhang cloud of dust that had been stirred up was slammed back to the ground by the terrifying pressure!

"Damn it! Who is this person!?"

Realizing he couldn’t escape, Xie Nian True Master’s face contorted. He looked to the sky and let out a roar filled with killing intent:

"Supreme Infinite! Nine Venerables United!"

After a long cry, his entire body burst into flames. The flesh on his body melted away in an instant, like a candle.

Following that, nine terrifying ghostly shadows appeared and were absorbed into his body.

In the next instant, his bare, bony hands conjured a black Fierce Tripod, which instantly swelled to a thousand zhang in size to meet the descending palm.

In an instant, the sky exploded. A golden mushroom cloud soared into the air!

Vast golden ripples, accompanied by a furious shockwave, spread a thousand li in all directions in the blink of an eye.

Far away in Ningjiang City, a thousand li away, the ground also shook. The soldiers on night watch on the city walls were utterly horrified.

One by one, they gazed into the distance.

In their line of sight...

They saw a giant golden palm crush a large black tripod and descend from the sky like a mountain!

And beneath that giant palm, a nine-zhang-tall white skeleton was instantly torn apart!

In that moment, a shockwave rolled out, and golden light filled the world.

Earth-shattering!
