Chapter 265: Spilling Immortal Blood

As two worlds seemed to touch and then pass by each other, the mighty mountains of the other realm cast their shadows in the present world. There, celestial lights shone, indicating the presence of powerful beings making their moves.

"Hostile entity - Primordial God-Demon!" Robot Number 5 focused intently on the dark sky.

People in the real world were immensely shocked, as they seemed to witness immortals from another world taking action.

Supernatural beings arrived, some having chosen advantageous positions near the Golden Peak Mountain, waiting for the potential opportunity. What if the Celestial Herb were to fall into the present world?

"It's here!" exclaimed a supernatural powerhouse, eyes blazing with divine light.

In the dark sky, enormous mountain ranges floated oppressively, with thick thunderbolts flashing. Then, a plant appeared across the sky, sacred and unparalleled, with light rain falling from it.

"A stalk of Celestial Herb is approaching the present world!" The faces of the supernatural beings changed, wondering if their chance had arrived.

The atmosphere was incredibly tense. The higher spiritual world became more distinct, with vast mountain ranges spanning across it. The grandeur of these scenes in the high skies was breathtaking, causing a suffocating sensation.

It seemed the immortals were in a hurry, chasing something in the distance. A glimpse of a vast curtain was seen, with them climbing towards the higher spiritual realm.

Swords transformed into a heavenly staircase, with powerful beings stepping on them to reach the elusive depths of the spiritual world.

In the real world, the scene was blurry, but people could vaguely sense the mighty mountains in the sky, perhaps belonging to the realm of immortals. They were so astounded they were at a loss for words.

The existence of myths was now being witnessed and confirmed by the entire world, sending shivers down everyone's spine.

"Here we go!" Robot Number 5 kept assessing, ready to make its move, feeling the imminent presence of the Celestial Herb.

"Back then, when the mothership neared a layer of the spiritual world, it seemed to have encountered this Celestial Herb but missed the chance!"

"Why can't I see it!" At the scene, some supernatural beings murmured in discontent and frustration, unable to perceive the glowing plant that was increasingly blending with the present world.

As for the ordinary people on New Star, they couldn't see the celestial phenomena; they only witnessed vague silhouettes of immortals chasing after something.

At this moment, glowing bone fragments, dense with blood vessels and pulsing blood patterns, descended near Golden Peak Mountain. Emitting celestial light, they formed a hazy human figure. Additionally, a relic emitted light, constructing a golden figure in the forest, gazing up at the various objects in the dark sky.

These beings, composed of true bones and relics, had significant backgrounds. More than one or two of them were present, making other supernatural beings quite wary.

"Return!" In the high sky, a top-tier immortal shouted, raising a hand to unleash a golden rope. It latched onto the massive mountain range, pulling it back, attempting to stop the higher world from moving away and trying to harvest the Celestial Herb.

"Damn, hurry up and fail!" Below the broken main peak of Golden Peak Mountain, a being growled, focusing on the high sky.

With a thunderous roar, even the combined efforts of powerful immortals couldn't prevent the higher world from leaving. The vast mountain range became increasingly distinct, almost colliding with the skies of the present world.

Even ordinary people could now clearly see it, with lightning accompanying it, as if pressing down on them through the screen, making everyone feel suffocated.

And for those present at the scene, even as supernatural beings, they too were trembling with the enormity of the spectacle.

In Kun City, at the Zhong family's residence, Chen Yongjie spoke gravely, "Should we go to the scene? But it's terrifying there. We have to consider human disasters, celestial disasters, spiritual heavenly fire, and more."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "To be honest, I've considered a lot. Initially, I planned to trap Huang Kun. In my view, apart from Sword Immortals, the ancients are very dangerous."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

This was his initial plan, but ultimately he didn't follow through with it.

"If Huang Kun had good intentions, it would have been somewhat unkind for me to do so. If he had malicious intentions, then getting personally involved and participating in the entanglement would have put me at a disadvantage."

Therefore, Wang Xuan ultimately chose to remain an outsider, restraining all impulses.

Clang!

The Soul Locking Bell's defiance of the heavens rang out again, dimming the runes in the area. Zhou Chong, hiding inside the bell, managed to escape towards the distance.

Number Five, the mechanical being, melted into the ground, having suffered severe losses. Its spirit fire was nearly extinguished, and half of its reactive metal body was consumed.

Fragments of celestial bones exploded, relics shattered, and ethereal shadows either vanished into the distance or dissipated right there on the scene. Other supernatural beings turned into mist, leaving the area eerily silent.

Only a few managed to escape, mainly due to the current depletion of supernatural substances in the New Star, and the limited supernatural elements within the ritualistic gateway formed years ago.

"It's your turn now, the real miracle, the path of invitation!" Huang Kun declared. He flew to the summit of Jinding Mountain and activated a final, special formation. Then he gazed into the distance, waiting for something.

At the Zhong residence, Wang Xuan's body became illuminated with symbols, eventually forming three ripple-like halos that confined him. "What's happening to you?!" Zhong Cheng exclaimed in shock.

With a whoosh, Wang Xuan disappeared from the spot, a testament to the authentic celestial array's ability to remotely abduct a person. Soon, he appeared at Jinding Mountain, looking at the devastated landscape smeared with blood and even fragments of celestial bones. "Quite a grand gesture, ruthless indeed!" he remarked, noticing the faint curtain ahead.

"Many supernatural beings have perished here, celestial bones and relics destroyed. Aren't you afraid of the massive karma this might bring?" Wang Xuan questioned Huang Kun, realizing that the seemingly gentle man was actually treacherous.

"The ones who came here personally aren't big shots; we can handle that kind of karma," Huang Kun replied calmly. He gestured to Wang Xuan to use the fishing hook to summon the celestial beings from behind the grand curtain.

"Do you think I would cooperate after you abducted me and forced me to use my life to invite powerful beings from behind the grand curtain into this world?" Wang Xuan asked, barely concealing his rage and contempt for Huang Kun.

Wang Xuan's body was bound by three ripple-like halos, making it difficult for him to fight back against Huang Kun.

Huang Kun smiled slightly, "I'm not forcing you. I'm asking you to use your inner realm to invite the supreme beings to return. We assure you of your survival."

Wang Xuan wasn't surprised; Huang Kun must have known about his biggest secret the special inner realm he had opened during his mortal stage, hence the dramatic arrangements.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xuan sighed and walked forward, picking up the luminous fishing line and fiercely casting it, piercing the faintly glowing curtain.

Across the curtain, a formidable group stood. At the back was a man clad in black and gold armor, his helmet covering even his face, exuding an aura distinct from the celestial beings. His silent presence commanded awe; even Huang Kun, a celestial being himself, trembled before him. Mountains and rivers seemed trivial, and the sun in the sky dimmed in his presence.

The celestial beings around him were almost forgotten, overshadowed by his overwhelming presence.

"We're back in the mortal world!" someone shouted, filled with excitement.

As the hook pierced the curtain, thunderous roars followed.

Whoosh! The celestial beings sprang into action, several of them rushing along the fishing line in an instant.

"Hurry! Time is limited, the Old Covenant is unbreakable. Cherish this brief moment; it's more precious than any heavenly medicine or supreme scripture. Escape while you can!" urged someone from behind.

Flashes of light flickered as seven beings swiftly moved along the crystalline line. But then, they began to scream in agony. Their bodies exploded, showering in celestial blood. Mysterious powers and terrifying runes obliterated their flesh and tore apart their souls.

"Why is this happening?" the celestial beings who rushed along the line roared in anger, their eyes turning towards Wang Xuan and then Huang Kun, as their soul's energy rapidly dissolved.

"This is no different than directly breaching the grand curtain!" they realized.

"You changed the line? Where is the one I gave you?!" Huang Kun approached in fury, realizing that his specially consecrated line from the celestial realm was not the one used.

Wang Xuan looked at him and said, "I thought your line seemed a bit decayed, so I used one of similar material from my possession, fearing yours wasn't sturdy enough."

Huang Kun was on the verge of madness, unable to handle such a shock.

All seven celestial beings who crossed the curtain exploded in a shocking display. In Huang Kun's eyes, Wang Xuan was merely a tool, a stepping stone for their group's celestial beings to return.

Previously, in the land of the deceased, a mysterious creature on the moon tried to fish away Wang Xuan, but he cut off a segment of its fishing line with his short sword, which now came in handy.

"Being a good person is tough," Wang Xuan sighed.
