"Captain, I feel like something's not right! That attack just now seemed to contain extremely profound Laws!" a Demonic Cultivator team member immediately sent a voice transmission.
"Damn it, no wonder the mission reward is so high—this is a Golden Immortal Clone!" Captain Demon Shark cursed.
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's do it! If we can kill this Clone and hand it over, its value is higher than ten Profound Immortals! Even though he's a Golden Immortal Clone, his magic power isn't enough to squander! We'll wear him down!"
"Alright!"
The eight Demonic Cultivators were filled with a frenzied killing intent.
Terrifying Demonic Path Divine Abilities were unleashed one after another, and violent attacks swept through the range of the Formation!
Star Plucker's expression turned slightly cold.
He immediately took out a Formation Plate and began setting up a Formation while fending off the Demonic Cultivators' attacks!
He was also skilled in Formations!
Seeing this, the Demonic Cultivators increased their output, and various one-time-use treasures surged toward Immortal Lord Star Plucker as if they cost nothing.
However, the Demonic Cultivators became increasingly alarmed as they fought, because Immortal Lord Star Plucker was actually setting up the Formation while enduring their attacks, completely unaffected by them!
If the other party finished setting up the Formation, they might be counter-killed!
At this moment, they truly witnessed the terror of a Golden Immortal. Even at the True Immortal Realm and seemingly suffering from a Dao injury, he was forcing them back with his comprehension of Laws. If they hadn't set up the Formation in advance, they would have been wiped out long ago!
Their battle stirred the outer space beyond the Seven Star Realm, causing the Nine Heavens within the Realm to churn. Even after being weakened by the Heavenly Dao, the aftershocks of the attacks still fell into the Seven Star Realm. The sky seemed to be torn apart, opening a massive hole through which the terrifying black clouds and nebulae outside the heavens could be seen colliding.
This scene stunned many powerful Cultivators throughout the world.
Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage and above came beneath the Nine Heavens one after another to watch.
The Cultivators were all incredibly panicked, each feeling as if a great disaster was imminent.
At this time.
Su Yuan calmly glanced at the highlighted [Accepting Orders in Times of Danger] on his System panel.
Then he looked beyond the heavens.
"What's going on? The Immortal-Demon War has actually spread to my Seven Star Realm? How unlucky!"
Su Yuan was also frustrated; he hadn't expected to encounter such a thing.
He knew a war was happening between immortals and demons, but he didn't expect it to involve him. The world was so vast and there were so many places; did they have to come and cause trouble here?
Su Yuan felt he had to drive these two groups away to avoid damaging the Seven Star Realm and becoming collateral damage.
Su Yuan took a look and spotted a Demonic Cultivator at the Early Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm, which made his eyes light up.
[Great Power Posture] activated.
The heaven and earth status also exerted its power at this time, and the Heavenly Might fused into his body.
In the next moment.
Su Yuan appeared at the edge of the Nine Heavens out of thin air, as if teleporting.
The moment he appeared, all nine people in the middle of the fight paused and looked over.
They hadn't expected the other party to have an ally!
Just then, the Golden Immortal pressure on Su Yuan's body suddenly erupted, instantly affecting both sides of the battle!
Both sides simultaneously felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on them!
They felt as if they had entered a deep sea—unable to breathe, with heavy pressure on their bodies, making movement difficult!
"I am the Seven Star Dao Lord. You dare disturb my peace? You court death! Leave at once!"
"A Golden Immortal!!!"
Both sides widened their eyes, never imagining that a Golden Immortal would emerge out of thin air from a Mortal Realm!
That aura, temperament, and pressure were clearly at the Golden Immortal level!
"Shouldn't such an existence be unable to appear in the Lower Realm?"
In the next moment, an aura unique to the heaven and earth status also radiated out, causing both sides to change expression again.
"heaven and earth status?"
"Supreme of a Realm?"
At this moment, they finally understood why a Lower Realm could accommodate a Golden Immortal. A Mortal Realm normally cannot, but this Golden Immortal was a holder of the heaven and earth status, equivalent to the master of the Mortal Realm. Such an existence is naturally not restricted by the Mortal Realm, and the Realm would be pushed by the Golden Immortal to gradually upgrade toward a Spirit Realm.
The Spirit Realm refers to the Rank between the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm. The highest cultivation limit for the top Spirit Realms is the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal, and once it reaches the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level, it will step into a level similar to the Immortal Realm.
This world was clearly the Golden Immortal's private domain, his World for attaining the Dao. They were actually fighting to the death at a Golden Immortal's doorstep; it was good luck they weren't killed instantly!
Demon Shark had a second thought and immediately realized the reason the other party hadn't acted: because among them, there was a Golden Immortal Clone!
With a Clone of the same Realm present, there was no way he would directly strike to kill!
This was normal, just human nature!
Immortal Lord Star Plucker also realized this.
He knew that this was the Golden Immortal pointed out by the deduction he had someone perform!
To think it was an existence at the Golden Immortal Realm; this made him extremely uneasy. He even guessed the Karma of his feud with the other party. He had dealt with the Tianyuan Realm before, and in the future, this person would surely investigate why the Tianyuan Realm had weakened in the past. Eventually, he would trace it back to him, and then he, who had been sabotaging the Tianyuan Realm, would naturally become the other party's enemy.
"Wait, if I hadn't interfered with the Tianyuan Realm, wouldn't I have avoided making an enemy of him?" Immortal Lord Star Plucker felt he had been played by the Desolate Ancient Immortal King.
He felt like he was being led by the nose. Was it necessary for the Desolate Ancient Immortal King to do this? Did he just not like him?
"I am deeply sorry for disturbing you, Fellow Daoist! Please forgive me; I shall depart immediately!"
Immortal Lord Star Plucker ultimately said nothing else. As a mere True Immortal Clone, there wasn't much he could do. He retreated into the Space Turbulence and left quickly.
Midway, the eight Demonic Cultivators also withdrew their Formation and did not stop Immortal Lord Star Plucker's departure.
The eight Demonic Cultivators also bowed respectfully.
"We were ignorant; please forgive us, Dao Lord!"
"Get lost!" Su Yuan said flatly.
"Yes, yes!"
The eight Demonic Cultivators, all at least at the True Immortal Realm, nodded repeatedly, their expressions filled with terror, fearing the Golden Immortal would strike.
It was understandable that he didn't attack the Golden Immortal Clone, but they, eight ordinary Demonic Cultivators, might be wiped out on a whim!
Hearing Su Yuan's words, Demon Shark immediately bowed in joy, then led his team members to rapidly retreat into the Space Turbulence, fleeing as fast as possible away from the Seven Star Realm.
Once they were far away.
Demon Shark cursed, "Damn it, who collected the intelligence? Such a powerhouse is here, and there was absolutely no news!"
"Captain, we've obtained this information. If we report it, we should get a reward, right?" a team member's eyes lit up instead.
"Hmm?" Demon Shark was stunned and fell into thought. "That is indeed good news."
He continued, "If I sensed correctly just now, he doesn't have the branded aura of the Immortal Realm side, nor that of the Demon Realm. In other words, this Golden Immortal powerhouse doesn't belong to either side. His Golden Immortal status isn't within the scope of the Immortal-Demon War Regulations..."
His eyes rolled, seemingly thinking of a good idea.
"That's not right, isn't it? As soon as he acts, won't he automatically join one of the factions?"
Demon Shark slapped the team member's head. "You're so stupid! That's after he acts. Before acting, he still belongs to a third party. He can strike with full force once, which is enough to play an unimaginable role! If we report this news, the higher-ups will definitely take it seriously. Our reward will definitely not be small!"
The Demonic Cultivators fell into thought.
The two sides had agreed that Golden Immortals could not fight in the Lower Realm, yet a Golden Immortal happened to exist there. This situation was very strange.
On the other side.
Immortal Lord Star Plucker also thought of this.
He even puzzled out a bit of the subsequent evolution. This Seven Star Dao Lord might be recruited by the Demon Realm. Before joining, he might commit a massacre in the Lower Realm, thus becoming a thorn in the side of the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm would then need to send someone to deal with the Seven Star Dao Lord.
Since he happened to have a Karmic connection with the other party, he would be sent to the battlefield and ultimately perish at the other's hands.
Reasonable, a very reasonable subsequent development.
Thus, the situation must not be allowed to turn in that direction.
And if the other party joined the Immortal Realm, he would surely be valued. An Immortal Lord with a heaven and earth status, especially in the Mortal Realm region, would play a significant role. His Realm might even rise to a higher level because of it.
Then the Seven Star Dao Lord would settle old scores with him again. He might be sabotaged with petty malice and sent to the Immortal-Demon battlefield, perishing in the war.
Reasonable, also very reasonable.
Both of these paths would be a great tribulation for him.
"This is toxic! How can this be solved?"
Immortal Lord Star Plucker felt the problems were piling up. This situation, where a clearly prophesied calamity could not be resolved, made him feel miserable!
He pondered deeply once more.
Even if the other party didn't accept invitations from either side and just grew in place, once the Tianyuan Realm transformed into a Spirit Realm, it would surely become a boost for the other's growth, and his strength would inevitably increase!
And the Karma between the Tianyuan Realm and himself would naturally be transferred to the Seven Star Dao Lord. The two of them would eventually have to settle that Karma!
Therefore, this development was also unfavorable for him!
"No solution? How can it be so unsolvable?" Immortal Lord Star Plucker was filled with worry.
He hadn't expected things to evolve into this state.
The solution he could think of was to find a backer, but he was just an ordinary Golden Immortal!
After racking his brains, he suddenly thought of an idea.
"Since opposition yields no good results, why don't I join the other party's camp? Once I join, if I persuade him to remain neutral and not participate in the Immortal-Demon War, wouldn't I resolve this crisis?"
Why did he have to be enemies with the other party?
They didn't have any inherent conflict. The matter of the Tianyuan Realm didn't have much to do with this current Golden Immortal. After joining, he could compensate the world and repay the Karma, and that would be that!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this plan was viable.
So, he turned around and headed back toward the Seven Star Realm.
Along the way, his true body was constantly deducing the subsequent developments and the outcomes of various paths. Ultimately, no matter how he deduced it, joining the other party seemed to be the most perfect path!
Thus, with a conflicted mind, he arrived outside the Seven Star Realm once more.
