Among the Powerful Experts of the Immortal Realm.
"Good, good, good!"
The Heavenly Emperor clutched the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Sword, the solemnity on his face long since replaced by wild joy, his heart a swirl of mixed emotions.
In recent years, while presiding over the Heavenly Court, he had worried day and night about the threat of the Immortal Extermination Alliance, fearing he could not protect the billions of living beings in the Immortal Realm. He had spent countless sleepless nights and had even prepared himself to sacrifice his life for the Dao.
Even with the Immortal Ancestor joining them, he had still been somewhat worried. Now, seeing Han Xuanji sweep the field alone, the Immortal Ancestor, who was their trump card, hadn't even needed to make a move.
The massive boulder that had weighed on his heart for years finally hit the ground, and an unprecedented sense of relief washed over his entire body.
The Heavenly Emperor secretly calculated that once this battle concluded, he would immediately step down from the position of Heavenly Emperor. He would no longer need to exhaust his mind and spirit for the safety of the Immortal Realm, and could peacefully enter secluded cultivation to become a carefree, ordinary Cultivator.
Di Jiang, Nirvana Dao Venerable, Golden Crow God Ancestor, Spirit Mountain Buddha Ancestor, and the others also showed looks of wild joy. They glanced at each other, seeing relief and gratitude in one another's eyes.
They had previously exhausted all their strength to resist, yet still felt it was a struggle. Now that Han Xuanji was crushing the entire field alone, completely reversing the tide of battle, the boulders in their hearts finally fell away.
Nirvana Dao Venerable looked at the tall figure in green robes in the center of the battlefield and couldn't help but marvel that the Immortal Realm had actually given birth to such a powerful junior. He truly hadn't expected the situation to turn so easily; he was truly experiencing the feeling of being carried to victory.
Spirit Mountain Buddha Ancestor pressed his palms together, his eyes full of compassion as he whispered: "Amitabha. Xuantian Dao Venerable is merciful, protecting the living beings of our Immortal Realm and resolving a supreme Great Calamity. This is the fortune of all living things, the fortune of the Immortal Realm."
At the same time, he secretly felt lucky that their Buddhist Sect had not offended the other party back then.
Taishang Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Dao Venerable were filled with gratification. Taishang Dao Venerable stroked his beard and said loudly:
"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, what fine methods! What strength! To crush a hundred Primordial experts with just your own power—this combat strength has already surpassed the Powerful Experts of Chaos throughout the ages. This old man is ashamed to be inferior!"
Yuanshi Dao Venerable also nodded slightly, his eyes full of admiration:
"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, you certainly kept us in the dark quite thoroughly!"
In their tone, there was both praise and a sense of liberation. They had guarded the Immortal Realm for many years; now that not only had the Immortal Ancestor returned, but a rising star like Han Xuanji had also appeared, they no longer had to shoulder these various crises alone.
"The two Seniors flatter me..."
Han Xuanji also laughed and then said:
"It's just that these people can't take a hit. Seniors, let's finish what we started. Let's strike together and take them down!"
"Good!"
Grand Supreme and Yuanshi both responded in unison, striking out alongside Han Xuanji.
This time, Han Xuanji used his full firepower; there was no longer any need to hide.
In an instant, the five Limitless Primordial Perfection experts of the Immortal Extermination Alliance felt the pressure.
Watching their many subordinates fall one after another, their hearts bled.
But they were truly powerless. They could barely protect themselves, so how could they look after their subordinates?
The mood of several people shifted from their previous confidence to panic.
The Devil Ancestor's Devilish Qi was in disarray, and the god-slaying spear nearly flew from his hand. For the first time, fear appeared on his face as he stared fixedly at Han Xuanji, his voice trembling with disbelief:
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could you have such strong power?
You are but a junior of the Immortal Realm. How could you surpass Limitless Primordial Perfection and reach such a terrifying Realm?
This is a Realm that even the Dao Ancestor and the Immortal Ancestor did not reach..."
He had overestimated Han Xuanji as much as possible before, yet the scene before him still exceeded his cognition. The greed in his heart had long been replaced by deep fear, leaving only one thought—flee!
Only by fleeing could he save his life!
Juntian Merchant Venerable's face was pale, and his hands trembled slightly. He was filled with regret, wishing he could slap himself.
He should have listened to his gut feeling back then. He shouldn't have let the secret of transcendence cloud his mind, shouldn't have agreed to join forces with the Devil Ancestor, and certainly shouldn't have underestimated Han Xuanji's strength.
Han Xuanji's combat strength had already surpassed his imagination. Forget seizing the secret of transcendence; even saving his own life might be a pipe dream.
Like the Devil Ancestor, the desire to retreat instantly took the upper hand; he only wanted to immediately flee this place of trouble.
The light of the Star Ancestor's thirty-six Chaos Main Stars grew dim, nearly losing control completely.
He had always been arrogant, believing his mastery of the Star Dao was unmatched. But facing Han Xuanji, he had been beaten into submission. He glanced at the Dragon Ancestor, who was even more arrogant than him; the other was probably thinking about whether to flee!
Fleeing could be considered a loss of face. For someone who valued face so much, it might be more painful than death.
The Star Ancestor thought of his own arrogant manner before the various Star Gods; surely this Dragon Ancestor was the same before the Dragon Clan...
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly discovered— The Soul Ancestor had already disappeared.
At some point, the other party had already left the battlefield without him even noticing.
"Go!"
The Star Ancestor also felt a sense of resolve, no longer caring about the issue of face. If he kept fighting, he really wouldn't be able to leave.
Seeing that the Soul Ancestor was gone, the other four instantly lost any desire to continue fighting and immediately scattered like startled birds.
The Soul Ancestor's sudden disappearance even made Han Xuanji pause for a moment.
He hadn't expected the Soul Ancestor to slip away so quickly. With such high-level methods, he truly lived up to being a Powerful Expert from the so-called Eternal Continent.
"Interesting. It seems the Eternal Continent is indeed a more Advanced map... I wonder what level I would be if I went there now."
Han Xuanji raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes, yet he did not go after the Soul Ancestor.
In his view, the Soul Ancestor had some value. For now, the most important thing was to deal with these stubborn fellows in front of him.
"Since you've come, don't think about leaving."
Han Xuanji activated the great dao pagoda, instantly sealing off the retreat and intercepting both the Dragon Ancestor and the Star Ancestor.
The Devil Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable were overjoyed at the sight, thinking Han Xuanji was unable to keep them back.
They didn't dare linger for a second longer, simultaneously pushing their full power to turn and flee toward the depths of Chaos.
Taishang Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Dao Venerable activated their supreme treasures to try and keep them, but the Devil Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable were no simpletons; they did not hesitate to burn their Origin to break free.
"Damn it!"
Taishang Dao Venerable felt some regret and said to Han Xuanji:
"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, this old man underestimated them."
"Senior, do not worry. They want to flee? It's not that simple."
Han Xuanji, suppressing the Star Ancestor and Dragon Ancestor by himself, still spoke with ease.
On the other side.
"You two, you can't blame us..."
The Devil Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable fled together, secretly congratulating themselves.
But just as they thought they had successfully escaped, two incredibly vast auras suddenly emerged from the depths of Chaos. Two figures stepped through the Void Realm, instantly blocking their path—it was the Immortal Ancestor and the Supreme Divine Venerable!
The Immortal Ancestor was surrounded by immortal charms, his expression calm and his gaze cold as he stared at the Devil Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable. His voice carried an unquestionable pressure:
"Devil Ancestor, Juntian Merchant Venerable, to dare invade my Immortal Realm today is to make an enemy of this seat. You want to leave just like that? You are far too naive."
The Supreme Divine Venerable's divine light surged, his aura on par with the Immortal Ancestor's. He held a divine sword wrapped in divine light, his gaze as sharp as a blade:
"To offend little friend Xuantian is to be an enemy of this seat. Since you've come, then stay!"
"Immortal Ancestor!"
"Supreme Divine Venerable!"
The faces of the Devil Ancestor and Juntian Merchant Venerable changed drastically, their hearts falling into complete despair.
The Immortal Ancestor and the Supreme Divine Venerable were both existences who had reached Limitless Primordial Perfection countless years ago.
Their strength was not something the likes of Grand Supreme and Yuanshi could compare to.
"Xuantian Dao Venerable, was this also part of your plan!"
The Devil Ancestor felt great hatred, having not expected Han Xuanji to have this trick up his sleeve.
