Chapter 137 - Cosmic Immortals

"Immortal Emperor Hao Yang? Who the heck is that?" Yun Xiao asked, genuinely baffled.

"Damn it!" Blue Star exclaimed, frustration evident on his face. "Didn't I tell you to hold back for a moment so I could figure him out? How did you just... off him with one stroke?"

"Well, yeah, I heard. I didn't hold back," Yun Xiao admitted, facepalming in embarrassment.

"..." Blue Star just stared, flabbergasted. He looked as if he wanted to scratch Yun Xiao right across the chest in sheer exasperation. "Dying from showing off isn't exactly an unusual occurrence, you know. So what if he's dead?"

But Yun Xiao had not just killed him. He was after the Seed of Creation. Just a moment ago, Blue Star had mentioned that this Ye Xingchen's Seed of Creation was even above that of Ye Guxing. How could Yun Xiao resist?

"It's not the show-offs that scare me," Blue Star interjected. "It's the show-offs with powerful backers! In this day and age, which young master doesn't have people he can call upon? If they can summon an Immortal Emperor, they must have some real skills."

"Why the fear?" Red Moon laughed. "If the Immortal Emperor comes, we just transform into a big coffin and make our escape with Creator."

"Oh? We can do that?" Yun Xiao's eyes lit up. "So, if we can't die, that means I can keep wreaking havoc, right? No need to hold back then."

Red Moon grinned, revealing a menacing set of teeth. "Don't you worry. While your first daddy might be timid, your second daddy has got your back! Immortal Emperor? Just a tiny sugar bean. In the past, they were just snacks for us. Crunchy and delightful!"

Blue Star simply stared, torn between laughter and disbelief. He'd hoped for some level-headedness, but both Yun Xiao and Red Moon seemed intent on charging headfirst into trouble.

"Look! There they are!" Blue Star pointed upwards.

"So soon?" Yun Xiao mused, having thought that backup would take decades to arrive. In just the span of ten breaths, they'd reached the battlefield? Did they tear a hole through the void, stepping out in a single stride?

At that moment, the entire Heavenly Realm, filled with its endless mists and Immortal energy, its countless palaces and pavilions, fell into an eerie silence. Time seemed to freeze. Every being, every object, even the wind itself, ceased to move!

An aura, terrifying beyond words, pressed down upon Yun Xiao. His thoughts were halted, as if suspended in time, and he felt deprived of even the right to think.

Around him, Chen Xi, Mu Tianshi, Ye Qingli, Han Jingli, and many others stared blankly, motionless.

Even the blood in Ye Xingchen's veins stood still.

Only a smoky gray figure with a twisted face and an expression of deep indifference stood before Yun Xiao. In a quivering voice, it declared, "You've committed the greatest blunder in all of existence. Brace yourself for eternal retribution..." It was clear; the figure was deeply shaken.

Yun Xiao could only observe and listen, his thoughts paralyzed.

"A Cosmic Immortal! Reddy, prepare to retreat!" Blue Star's voice held an unprecedented seriousness.

Cosmic Immortal? Yun Xiao felt he had caught a glimpse of something. The sky of the Heavenly Realm was but a barrier to this pocket universe. And now, beyond the sky, two colossal figures overshadowed everything else, seemingly freezing time and space in the Heavenly Realm.

The entirety of the Heavenly Realm felt like a toy in the hands of these two figures. The impact of this sight was second only to the memory of Yun Xiao's soul returning to the ancient bronze coffin.

BUZZ! Yun Xiao watched, transfixed, as the sky of the Heavenly Realm trembled.

Suddenly, a pair of radiant golden hands reached out, grasping the barrier of the Heavenly Realm's world. With a tug, they tore a rift in the sky—a chasm stretching for tens of thousands of miles!

The heavens were ripped asunder by bare hands! What once was a pristine sky now split in two, with mists from both inside and outside the Heavenly Realm converging. The tear in the sky resembled a gruesome wound, horrifying to behold. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

From that moment, the entire Heavenly Realm shook. The ground cracked, and countless palaces crumbled.

BUZZ! Those colossal hands continued their grim work, widening the rift and tearing a gaping hole in the firmament of the Heavenly Realm.

"That's—" Yun Xiao squinted, his eyes narrowing to a mere slit. From beyond the tear in the sky, from the very expanse of the endless heavens above, a primal sword cry suddenly echoed through the ages.

In a heartbeat, a gargantuan sword, spanning the vast sky, plunged from the heavens, aiming straight down with ferocious intent.

"Supreme Azure!" The faces of the two towering giants beyond the Heavenly Realm changed dramatically, their visages cracking wide open.

"You two wanted prisoners of the Immortal Court dare to interfere with karma and destiny? Do you take me for a dead man, sitting still and doing nothing?"

BOOM! Along with this enraged voice, the great azure sword fell in a flash, splitting in two, piercing the heads of both the Solar Immortal Emperor and the Lunar Immortal Empress.

"No! We wish..." the golden molten giant face began in horror.

"Wish your granny! Die, you wretches!" The voice, seething with fury, echoed from the azure sword.

HUM! The immense Immortal bodies of the two Immortal Emperors vanished on the spot. Countless achievements and powers of theirs were annihilated under this sword strike, dissipating in despair like smoke in the wind.

Their crumbling colossal forms transformed into boundless spiritual and Immortal energies, pouring into the Heavenly Realm and the Divine Continent.

For a time, the natural forces in various places surged tenfold. Spiritual veins and dragon veins formed beneath the earth. Ordinary plants absorbed the spiritual energy and rapidly transformed into elixirs and spiritual herbs. An intense downpour of Immortal essence showered the realm...

Shadows of the giants vanished entirely from the tear in the heavens. Even the recently reformed body of Ye Xingchen beneath Yun Xiao's feet once again crumbled apart.

High above the horizon, a colossal sword, vast as the very heavens themselves, remained suspended in the azure, casting an eternal glow upon the world.

Upon this magnificent sword, Yun Xiao noticed an incredibly dense surging Sword Aura composed of over a billion layers, forming an ocean of sword energy. The sword seemed to be wrapped with tens of thousands of dragon-like Sword Rings...

"Is that the Sword Soul?" Yun Xiao was utterly gobsmacked. Without a wielder, the sword transcended infinite barriers and slew the two Immortal Emperors? Even he felt numb from the spectacle, let alone the other denizens of the Heavenly Realm... The worldview of everyone present was turned upside down!

The gray-robed figure beside Yun Xiao sat dazed on the ground, murmuring, "In the grand scheme of things, just a miniscule interference with karma and destiny, and the two were executed from across worlds..." He, along with the two Immortal Emperors, had gravely underestimated their pursuer's terror.

"It's you!" The gray figure suddenly glared at Yun Xiao, his face contorted in rage, "You've ruined everything!"

A nine-tiered Cosmic Pagoda materialized, its immense presence bearing down on Yun Xiao. Death loomed once more.

"Hmm? It seems like I'm being treated like thin air these days. Stay your hand, old servant," a voice that shook the very earth and heavens boomed.

WHOOSH! In a flash, a shadowy sword silhouette shot into the Cosmic Pagoda, instantly turning the gray-robed figure into a puff of gray mist.

"Good stuff!" Red Moon promptly emerged, opening wide and swallowing the gray mist.

"What was that?" Yun Xiao finally reacted.

"A portable grandpa! Tastes amazing!" Red Moon replied, savoring the taste.

"After we're done eating, the nine-tiered pagoda is ours," Blue Star whispered.

Yun Xiao's eyes sparkled upon hearing this.

At that moment, the shadowy sword that shattered the gray figure coalesced into a small black sword before Yun Xiao.

"Lad, by forcing those sinning Immortals to reveal themselves, you've done a great service. I grant you a strand of sword intent. If fate wills it, come to the Supreme Azure Star Emperor Immortal Court and seek me."

With those words, the little sword landed in Yun Xiao's hand, and the mammoth sword in the heavens vanished. Afterwards, the rift in the Heavenly Realm's sky began to mend, and everyone's vision blurred, seemingly forgetting all they had just witnessed.

What sorcery was this?

"Wait a minute!" Yun Xiao gripped the little sword, shouting at the sky, "What do you want me to find you for? Just take me with you!"
