Immortal Jiuchong tried to escape from the grip of the Sixth Immortal, but he had already witnessed the latter's power in Ancient Times and knew that he could not compete.
In just an instant, his body exploded countless times under the attack of the Sixth Immortal.
"Switch!"
Immortal Jiuchong switched personalities, allowing his more aggressive personality to take control.
This aggressive personality didn't mess around. Since he couldn't confront the Sixth Immortal head-on, he changed tactics, immediately using the Earth Escape technique to burrow into the ground, escaping to the surface to regroup with Yingtian Immortal and Qilin Immortal.
...
"How is it outside, is the battle over?" Meng Jingzhou was restless in the Fengdu Space. He had glimpsed a moment earlier when Qilin Immortal was being suppressed in combat, overwhelmed by an unexpectedly powerful opponent.
And he had no idea what was happening to Old Lu outside.
"Let's check again."
Last time Meng Jingzhou had half his body out; this time, he only stuck out his head.
Then he saw four Immortals furiously striking at each other, blood scattering across the sky, land splitting and crashing as if it were the end of the world.
How had the fight become even more fierce?
He shivered, hurrying to pull his head back in.
Before retreating, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of Old Lu hopping around lively, not seeming to be in trouble.
...
Qilin Immortal raised his hooves and suddenly dealt a hoof blow to both Yingtian Immortal and Immortal Jiuchong. The two Immortals staggered back several steps and concurrently cried out, "I surrender!"
Qilin Immortal defeated Yingtian Immortal and Immortal Jiuchong, using the principle of "survival of the fittest" to further enhance his cultivation level. His physical body became incomparably strong; he was indeed the foremost of the Four Ancient Immortals now!
Yingtian Immortal and Immortal Jiuchong together cast the Infinite Heavenly Tribulation. The chaos, Yin and Yang, and Five Elements all intertwined, each alone was powerful enough to make any cultivator pale with fear. Now appearing like cost-free, these thunder tribulations, after being intensified by Immortal Jiuchong, exhibited unbelievable power.
If a Semi-Immortal considered this heavenly calamity as an Immortal Ascension Tribulation, not one would survive!
Heavenly Tribulations always followed the rule of "forty-nine with a slim chance of survival", but this time there was no chance at all, an unprecedented terrifying calamity since ancient times!
The Infinite Heavenly Tribulation spread far and wide, fiercely enough to scare any cultivator into losing the ability to think.
The Sixth Immortal shattered the ground with a stomp, the earth fissured, and the intensified Immortal Mountain turned into a solid Protective Shield, but it could not withstand the Infinite Heavenly Tribulation for even three breaths and crumbled.
Combining two types of Dao Fruit into one was not an easy feat without long-term integration.
"You've indeed worked hard to defeat me."
The Sixth Immortal maintained a calm tone, not sounding like the focus of an assault, but rather like a judge sitting high above.
At that moment, Yingtian Immortal took control of the battlefield. He used the world as a furnace, spiritual essence as kindling, and Infinite Heavenly Tribulation as fierce flames, aiming to refine the Sixth Immortal!
"So you are treating me as an Immortal Artifact to be refined. Not a bad technique."
Around the Sixth Immortal, the fog grew darker and murkier, and the Infinite Heavenly Tribulation did indeed affect his carefully refined black fog.
The Heavenly Tribulation seemed endless, and so did the black fog, leaving the fierce battlefield in a weird balance.
Suddenly, the roar from the King of Demons broke the balance, Qilin Immortal using the Infinite Heavenly Tribulation to conceal himself, waiting for the moment the Sixth Immortal became distracted to launch a surprise attack!
However, the Sixth Immortal still managed to divide his focus to deal with Qilin Immortal. He threw a punch toward Qilin Immortal, who seemed to pass through him like a phantom, his attack missing.
"A phantom? No, it's Right-Erect Shadowless."
The Great Divine Skill Right-Erect Shadowless could temporarily turn one intangible. During intangibility, the enemy couldn't hit you, and you couldn't hit the enemy either.
Qilin Immortal moved behind the Sixth Immortal, exposing an open gate!
Now!
With his enhanced strength, Qilin Immortal gathered all his might, smashing his hooves fiercely onto the back of the Sixth Immortal!
The black fog on the back immediately thinned out!
Not enough!
Qilin Immortal opened his mouth, spitting out several Immortal Artifacts that Immortal Jiuchong had brought.
No matter what the original purpose of these Immortal Artifacts was, at this moment they had only one use—self-detonation!
Several Immortal Artifacts detonated at once, still glaring amid the dazzling Infinite Heavenly Tribulation, like the sun among fireflies!
Boom—
The explosion of the Immortal Artifacts was massive, with the Qilin Immortal nearest to the blast. His physical body was nearly obliterated, many of his bones melted, yet he laughed without feeling any pain.
"Ha ha, Sixth Immortal, you had it coming!"
The dark fog surrounding the Sixth Immortal finally burst open, and his back was injured as well!
This was the first time the Qilin Immortal had spoken since the appearance of Immortal Jiuchong.
The three Immortals fought side by side, silent throughout, not even nodding or exchanging glances, yet their coordination was impeccably tacit, a routine they had rehearsed millions of times in their minds.
The dark fog on the Sixth Immortal's back gathered again; he slowly turned around, preparing to strike at the Qilin Immortal.
The Qilin Immortal immediately transformed into a body of lightning and exploded, turning into countless streams of electricity that reconvened far away, hiding again within the Infinite Heavenly Tribulation.
"So annoying."
