Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Waiting for Death? Who Said That?

All the cultivators in the Minor Heaven and Earth looked towards the black rift hanging on the horizon; everyone was tense, as if confronting a formidable enemy.These people hid in the deepest part of the Star Sea Congregations' Minor Heaven and Earth, and the fact that Impermanence Tian could force his way in proved that many Star Sea Congregations' cultivators had already perished at his hands.

A figure flew out from the black rift; it was Impermanence Tian!

Impermanence Tian was bare-chested, his hair was disheveled, and a giant python coiled around his waist, its body covered in black scales, the snake's head wrapped around his back, emerging from behind his left shoulder to look forward with him, constantly flicking its tongue.

His upper body displayed a bizarre black pattern, as if some kind of emblem, making him look even more terrifying.

From afar, his gaze locked onto An Hao.

An Hao couldn't help but frown.

Impermanence Tian's mouth corner lifted in a fearsome smile.

"Hurry up and form your formation; let me see if today's Star Sea Primordial Unity Banner is as formidable as it was back then."

Impermanence Tian's voice echoed as he swung his palm, unleashing a terrifying gale that ravaged thousands of miles.

One floating island after another activated their protective formations, forming circles of light, yet all the islands trembled.

Great Mingtian stood at the edge of a cliff, holding the Star Sea Primordial Unity Banner in one hand, facing the wind.

He snorted coldly, raised the Star Sea Primordial Unity Banner in his hand, and the black flag soared upward, quickly growing larger, reaching a height of ten thousand feet in the blink of an eye, casting the entire floating island into darkness.

Moreover, the small flags on Great Mingtian's headband also soared into the sky, standing alongside the ten-thousand-foot black flag, rapidly enlarging.

There were actually twelve Star Sea Primordial Unity Banners!

"Twelve banners, your capabilities are decent, but this is far from enough."

Impermanence Tian sneered, swinging his hand once again. This time, a dreadful blood wind surged out from the black rift behind him like a flood, unstoppable.

In an instant, the terrifying blood wind collided with the twelve Star Sea Primordial Unity Banners!

The twelve ten-thousand-foot banners trembled, countless stars on the flag surfaces burst into light, and the ocean below surged, forming a gigantic hand reaching towards Impermanence Tian.

Impermanence Tian stepped forward, his right foot landing with such force that it shattered the oceanic giant hand below.

Great Mingtian's brow furrowed, his eyes filled with dread.

"Eighth Level of the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm. Your cultivation level is very high, but it seems you've spent most of your time on improving your cultivation level; your mana is a bit weak."

Impermanence Tian's laughter echoed through the heavens and earth, causing the faces of all Star Sea Congregations' cultivators to change dramatically.

Could this Divine Exotic Ghost King be stronger than their Sect Hierarch?

"Hmph! Defeat me first, then talk!"

Great Mingtian's voice rang out as he leaped up, spreading his arms and casting spells swiftly. The twelve Star Sea Primordial Unity Banners whipped up fierce winds, the flag surfaces flapping loudly, and countless meteorites flew out, their momentum immense and endless, all crashing towards Impermanence Tian.

In a blink, the entire ocean darkened, countless meteorites covered the sky, some crushing towards Impermanence Tian head-on, others encircling, seemingly forming a formation.

Impermanence Tian stepped forward, his momentum dispersing all the incoming meteorites.

With each step he took, his presence grew stronger, the strengthed energy swirling visible around him.

His gaze fixed once more on An Hao, even sending his voice transmission:

"Flame Primordial Treasure Body, are you ready to be devoured by me? You better resist; the stronger you are, the happier I will be. The happier I am, the less pain you will endure."

Hearing his voice, An Hao clenched his fists.

Even though An Hao was unafraid of Impermanence Tian, he knew he was no match for him. Continue your adventure at мѵʟ

He feared that he might drag the Star Sea Congregations into this.

Since he embarked on the path of immortal cultivation, though everyone acknowledged his talent, he always needed assistance from others, just like at the Supreme Sect before and now at the Star Sea Congregations.

He felt full of unwillingness.

Why wouldn't the heavens give him time?

As long as he had a thousand years, no, just another five hundred years, he was confident he could become an immortal, no longer needing anyone's protection!

Having the best talent, yet needing others' protection; to him, it was such an ironic matter.

Boom——

A strong wind swept towards An Hao; the intense light reflected in his eyes, as the Sect Hierarch Great Mingtian and Impermanence Tian had already begun their fierce battle, with all kinds of terrifying spells and divine skills shaking the floating island.

Impermanence Tian fought without using a dharma treasure, relying solely on the might of his physical body to combat the spells and divine skills of the Star Sea Primordial Unity Banner, breaking them with sheer power.

Chi Jiuxiao looked back at An Hao, saying, "Hurry back, don't come out!"

An Hao bit his teeth, not turning around.

Chi Bei spoke up, "The enemy has already come here; hiding in the hall is useless for him. Let him watch the battle."

He turned his head, glancing at An Hao with the corner of his eye.

"An Hao, watch carefully and remember the power of the Ancient Treasure Body. Today, although many disciples died because of you, we don't regret it. We'll wait for you to grow strong. You have the talent to dominate an era, and our Star Sea Congregations are willing to assist you along your path."

Hearing this, An Hao felt even more guilt.

He was willing to repay the Star Sea Congregations in the future, but he feared he wouldn't have the chance.

At this moment, he thought of his master.

Impermanence Tian could break into the Star Sea Congregations, invincible; in his understanding, only his master could match him.

His master had once swept across the Seven Stars Spirit Realm; even if unable to kill Impermanence Tian, he could certainly block his assault.

But he couldn't summon his master; he didn't have the face to.

His master hated trouble, yet he had already troubled his master more than once...

An Hao stared intently at Impermanence Tian, flames igniting on his body; his hair also transformed into flames, his entire being radiating divinity like the Deity of the Sun.

Meanwhile.

In another part of the Minor Heaven and Earth of the Star Sea Congregations.

Li Ya, clad in black, stood at the edge of a cliff, gazing intently at the heavens, where the sky displayed a myriad of hues, ever-changing.

He frowned, mumbling, "An Hao."

The news of Impermanence Tian coming to seize the Flame Primordial Treasure Body had spread long ago, and he had heard it too, so he could immediately guess that today's commotion was directed at An Hao.

Although he always lost to An Hao, he didn't want An Hao to die.

Such a genius as An Hao, if he couldn't grow up, it would be a great pity; at least, that was how Li Ya thought.

He could lose, but he couldn't live without a goal to chase.

A figure appeared beside Li Ya, it was Xuan Tianyi.

Xuan Tianyi, seeing Li Ya still there, sighed in relief, and said seriously: "Don't think about helping An Hao. Though your Divine Exotic City is powerful, you can't yet utilize its full potential. The Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost is not only targeting An Hao but also you."

Li Ya gazed at the horizon and asked, "Senior, how do you think the calamity brought by the Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost should be resolved? It's more terrifying than the demon catastrophe we faced on the mainland; any one Ghost King can force through our Star Sea Congregations..."

Xuan Tianyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Great powers will intervene; this is not for you and me to worry about."

"Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost... Divine Exotic City..."

Li Ya's eyes shimmered, making it hard to fathom what he was thinking.

He suddenly asked, "Senior Xuan, is there still no news of Zhang Buku?"

Xuan Tianyi shook his head, then also looked towards the horizon, his heart equally filled with worry.

But what was the use of worrying?

This wasn't the mainland; his status as a Mahayana Cultivator meant nothing here.

...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ocean waves surged to heights of ten thousand feet, floating islands shattered, the sky filled with thunder and flames, black holes constantly appeared in all directions, and Star Sea Congregations' great cultivators continuously arrived to aid Great Mingtian.

Great Mingtian held the flags with both hands; his body was covered in blood, still fighting fiercely with Impermanence Tian.

Impermanence Tian punched, and Great Mingtian crossed the flags to block, but the overpowering force still sent him retreating hundreds of miles, his hands trembling as he held the Star Sea Primordial Unity Banner, bleeding from the palms.

The ten Star Sea Primordial Unity Banners in the sky burst into countless lightning bolts, intertwining around Impermanence Tian.

"Hahaha! What joy! What joy!"

Impermanence Tian laughed wildly, the pain from his physical body only making him more frenzied, even boosting his momentum continuously.

The ferocity in his eyes almost became tangible!

His gaze once again fixed on the wrathful An Hao, taunting, "Be furious, be hopeless, you can only watch as I tear them apart!"

His laughter echoed across the heavens and earth, drowning out all other noises.

An Hao was utterly enraged, wanting to rush up, but the surrounding cultivators stopped him.

"You going up would only inconvenience the Sect Hierarch!" Chi Jiuxiao said sternly, holding the Dragon-Slaying Spear, the spearhead blocking An Hao's chest.

He was secretly shocked; was this kid's life fire really so intense?

An Hao grabbed the Dragon-Slaying Spear with both hands, his gaze fixed on Impermanence Tian, gritting his teeth, "But..."

"But what! If death is coming, let us die first!" an old cultivator snorted coldly.

Other great cultivators around also spoke harshly, fearless of death; no one blamed An Hao, making him feel even worse.

"Are we really just waiting to die..." An Hao's face showed intense unwillingness, anger boiling in his heart, causing the flames on his body to burn more vigorously.

"Waiting to die? Who said that?"

A voice reached An Hao's ears, making him instinctively feel irritated.

Before he could respond, the surrounding cultivators turned around, as if all were startled.

Chi Jiuxiao looked behind An Hao, exclaiming in surprise, "Fu... Senior! Why are you here?"

An Hao's body trembled upon hearing this, the flames on his body rapidly dimming.

He turned his head cautiously, seeing a familiar figure walking past him and stopping ahead of him.

It was none other than Gu An, who had cast the Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body!

The dark purple demonic shadow struck the cultivators' eyes, except Chi Jiuxiao and Chi Bei; others were secretly frightened.

Where did this person come from?

Why had they not noticed at all!

An Hao came back to his senses, hurriedly said, "Master, he is one of the nine Divine Exotic Ghost Kings, possessing the Supreme Treasure Body of Impermanence Tian, he..."

"Enough. Just an ant; why bother introducing it to your master?" Gu An said, causing all the surrounding faces to change drastically.

An Hao was stunned, then relieved, a smile appearing on his face.

"An ant? Such arrogant words, and who might you be?" Impermanence Tian's icy voice came, full of killing intent.

Clearly, Gu An had angered him!
