Chapter 494: The Immortal Realm’s Attack

As for going to the Spirit Fox Realm, that was impossible.

His beloved disciple had not been properly settled, he had not passed the Eternal Prosperity Sect to his beloved disciple, and he had not even figured out why he had suddenly been teleported away. Until all these matters were resolved, Xiao Shou would absolutely not go to the Spirit Fox Realm.

Besides, the book had mentioned that all the passages from the small worlds to the three thousand Spirit Realms were one-way passages used for ascension. When ascending to a higher realm, cultivators were protected by the guidance of the welcoming spiritual light and would directly fly into the various Spirit Realms, where they would land in the Spirit Cleansing Pools.

However, the passages used for reverse travel were filled with void storms. Unless one possessed a special defensive immortal artifact, protective barrier, or something similar, everything else would be torn to pieces by the void storms.

Furthermore, the void surrounding the Spirit Realms was no longer eternally dark.

However, matters concerning the Spirit Realm were still too far away from Xiao Shou. Thinking about them now would be useless.

With this thought, Xiao Shou shook his head and stopped thinking about the void. Instead, he carefully considered how he could persuade Tushan Qing to send him back.

"Eh!"

Just as Xiao Shou had yet to think of another way to act coquettishly, Tushan Qing suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

He reached out and grabbed Xiao Shou by the collar, completely ignoring what kind of embarrassing appearance Xiao Shou might have when someone saw him. Just like that, he carried him along while continuously tearing through the void and rapidly traversing the darkness.

In less than two breaths, he suddenly stopped.

Only then could Xiao Shou finally relieve the pressure caused by the strange energy around his body as they moved rapidly through the void. He instinctively blinked, expecting to see nothing but darkness again.

Unexpectedly, this time he saw light.

A golden light.

A figure completely shrouded in golden radiance stood there, casually playing with a football-sized object that emitted an azure-blue glow. He kept tossing it up and down as though he were playing basketball.

Who was this person? How could he be in the mood to play with a ball in the void?

Xiao Shou was wondering this when he suddenly noticed something.

Under the illumination of the golden light radiating from that figure, his grandfather Tushan Qing’s usually baby-like face had become unusually serious. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the golden figure, and an aura that made Xiao Shou tremble spread from his body.

Was this killing intent?

Why?

Xiao Shou was puzzled as he guessed at the situation.

Eh? That person is looking over here.

As though confirming Xiao Shou’s guess, Tushan Qing released his grip on Xiao Shou’s collar. Facing the golden figure who had turned around, he gave a cold smile and said, "You certainly seem to be enjoying yourself. I never thought you would casually play with an entire realm in your hand."

An entire realm?

What did that mean?

It couldn’t mean what he thought it meant, could it?

Hearing this, Xiao Shou stared in astonishment at the blue-glowing sphere in the golden figure’s hand. An unbelievable thought emerged in his mind.

Could this glowing sphere actually be...?

"A Spirit Transformation cultivator, and a little brat at the Tribulation Crossing stage. Hmm! You have the same stench as those people from Supreme Star Peak."

Hearing Tushan Qing’s words, the golden figure paused before speaking.

"This general was ordered to come here and destroy the Heaven Origin Realm. Bystanders are not welcome. Anyone who sees me will be executed on the spot. You two are truly unlucky to have come here looking for death yourselves."

After saying this, the golden figure suddenly clenched his hand.

The blue-glowing sphere in his palm instantly developed a crack.

At the same time, he swung out a streak of golden light. It appeared slow, yet moved with astonishing speed, sweeping toward the two of them.

Seeing this, Xiao Shou instinctively tried to dodge.

To his horror, however, although his mind issued the command to evade, his body did not obey him at all.

The golden light was about to strike.

"I misjudged the identity of the person who came. I will hold him off for a while. Find an opportunity to escape. Run as fast and as far as you can."

Just as Xiao Shou felt despair, nine pitch-black tails suddenly fused together into a single enormous tail.

It slammed into the golden light, scattering it completely.

Tushan Qing then walked over to Xiao Shou with heavy steps.

While transmitting his words to Xiao Shou, he looked at the golden figure opposite them and said, "Judging from your tone, you are actually from the Immortal Realm. That certainly makes you quite extraordinary. But why would such an extraordinary immortal like yourself trouble a mere small world?"

"I have no choice. It is an order. However, for a mere Tribulation Crossing cultivator to actually block my casual attack... As expected, the bloodline of those from Supreme Star Peak is anything but ordinary. Heh... At least this mission will not be so boring anymore."

The golden figure let out a low laugh.

From head to toe, he remained hidden within the golden radiance, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

If it weren’t for this golden radiance blocking his appearance, Xiao Shou could perhaps have searched his memories based on the person’s face and figured out his identity.

Maybe he had even appeared in the original story.

If so, Xiao Shou would also know his weaknesses.

But...

This golden radiance was simply too troublesome.

And why would someone from the Immortal Realm suddenly attack and destroy the Heaven Origin Realm?

Nothing like this had ever happened in the original story.

Even if the plot had changed now, the effects should only involve the Heaven Origin Realm, or at most implicate the Tushan Clan. What did the Immortal Realm have to do with this?
