Chapter 589: Chapter 589: A Dragon
"His voice?"
The sudden sound startled Di Hai and Su Youuu, leaving them momentarily dumbfounded, then nervously glancing around.
After all, the Immortals they had encountered before were all mindless, like zombies, capable only of roaring, incapable of communication, or even the slightest interaction.
It was precisely for this reason that these Mortal Immortals couldn’t wield the true Divine Power of the Mortal World and were easily slain one by one by Yang Tian!
But at this very moment, the voice was clearly rational and intelligent!
If they were truly facing a spiritually Immortal, solitary soul, the situation would be entirely different!
After all, such a being could wield the power of a Fairy—a genuine Fairy!
However, unlike Di Hai and Su Youuu, Yang Tian did not bother to look around. Instead, he furrowed his brows and stared at the shimmering blue and aqua-colored Ribbon Magic Treasure, thoughtfully asking, "Was it you who just spoke?"
The Ribbon Magic Weapon, however, showed no sign of responding and instead moved swiftly toward Yang Tian’s "daughter," her master.
At first glance, Yang Tian snorted coldly, placing his hand directly atop his "daughter’s" head. He said, "If you don’t come over now, the Ancestor will kill her."
"No!"
Yang Tian’s hand sparkled brilliantly in shades of black, his indifferent expression unmoving.
Instantly, the Ribbon Magic Weapon radiated an intense light, then metamorphosed into a blue dress resembling a "woman"—though lacking the complete essence of femininity—her face tightening with tension as she shouted at Yang Tian.
Witnessing such a scene, both Di Hai and Su Youuu stood frozen, clearly shaken by a reality that shattered their preconceived notions.
When could Magic Weapons transform into humans?
Yang Tian carefully examined the petite girl in the blue dress, then smirked and said, "You truly are a Divine Artifact, aren’t you?"
"How do you mortals even know I’m a tool?"
The "girl" in the blue dress, visibly stunned that Yang Tian recognized her identity, immediately frowned, slightly crinkling her brows.
Hearing her reaction, Yang Tian only chuckled without saying a word.
Mortal World?
Well then!
Despite being at the pinnacle of the Cultivation Realm, Yang Tian was naturally perceived as an ordinary human in the eyes of the upper realm’s Immortals!
It was akin to a practitioner descending upon Earth—no matter how extraordinary they were compared to the average person, they would still seem like ants to higher beings.
Though Yang Tian had yet to ascend to the Upper Realm, he had inherited the complete memories of the Devil Ancestor. As for matters of the Upper Realm, he was equally well-informed.
How could Yang Tian fail to recognize such artifacts?
What’s more, Yang Tian not only discerned that the blue-dressed girl was a weapon but recognized her as a Fairy Weapon!
Ordinary Magic Treasures—even a bewitching Demon Saber with its spiritual essence—lacked the refinement to cultivate such advanced consciousness. Though possessing some intellect, they fell far short of beings like the blue-dressed "woman," who could manifest as a human and verbalize like one.
Watching Yang Tian smile wordlessly, the "woman" in the blue dress became more filled with doubt and confusion across her delicate face.
Still, when she noticed her master, the isolated and soulful "girl," remained firmly in Yang Tian’s grasp, her expression turned icy as she coldly retorted, "You dare treat me as a mere instrument? Let me tell you, I am a weapon of the Immortals! If I unleash even 10% of the Immortal Magic within me, I can end your life in an instant. I advise you to release my master immediately! Or else, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"Ruthless? Go ahead, give it a try!" Yang Tian responded coldly.
Earlier, even under the power of Immortal Forces, the Ribbon Fairy Warrior and her "female" champion had proven ineffective against Yang Tian.
Now, with her master held firmly in Yang Tian’s grasp—and with the shadow of the Devil Ancestor looming behind him—why would Yang Tian care about the threats of a blue-dressed "woman?"
And yet, at that moment, the blue-clad young lady suddenly let out a chilling laugh. A swift single-handed motion summoned the ribbon of the supposed Ribbon Fairy Warrior weapon to her hands. To everyone’s shock, she directed it in an assault on Yang Tian.
This strike carried far greater force than her master’s earlier attempts.
For an instant, the air around them seemed saturated with mist, as though transformed into an ocean by the blue-dressed, less-than-complete "woman." The tide surged, roaring angrily toward Yang Tian.
"This... this is the art of the Fairy!"
Standing beside the blue figure, Di Hai was visibly shaken, exclaiming in shock at the unexpected blow.
Typically, during Mahayana-level combat, the powerful could draw upon the Heaven and Earth Spirit to unleash a Water Element attack—a spray or even multiple water dragons.
When battling Tianhang and Yang Tian in the past, the Ghost Claw had enveloped the battlefield in seas of blue fire known as "oceans."
But now?
Lady Lan stared in disbelief at the dissipating ocean and the untouched Yang Tian. Her shock rendered her utterly speechless.
She was born a Divine Artifact within the Immortal Realm, once inspiring countless Heavenly Immortals of great authority to battle over her, only to eventually drive them back with her might.
In the end, only because her master was a Ribbon Fairy Warrior could she submit to her command.
But now, she, whose power had overcome legions of Heavenly Gods and Guardian Deities across the Three Societies, found her best attempt shattered effortlessly in the hands of Yang Tian—a mere mortal from the Lower Realm. Not a scratch, not an injury. How could she possibly accept such a result?
To Di Hai and Su Youuu, Yang Tian seemed even more formidable in their eyes.
"What? Still out of tricks? If that’s all you have, I suggest ending this now. The Ancestor still has other matters to attend to!"
With that, Yang Tian slowly turned his gaze toward the "girl" pinned beneath the shadow of the Devil Ancestor.
The blue-dressed "woman’s" complexion shifted drastically, and she hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Do you even know who my master is? She is the woman of the Primordial Yang Immortal Monarch!"
Mandarin Duck Immortal? Could it be?
Di Hai and Su Youuu were both struck frozen upon hearing the revelation. Clearly, they had no knowledge of the Primordial Yang Immortal Monarch and could only turn to Yang Tian for clarification.
Faced with their confusion, Yang Tian could only explain, "Do you recall what I said to Li Yicai?"
"Li Yicai?"
Di Hai furrowed his brows as he recollected, "Heavenly Venerate, you mentioned how above the Mahayana Era are the Earth Immortals, the Heavenly Immortals..."
"Exactly!"
Yang Tian nodded and replied, "In the Mahayana Era, one is expelled from the present mortal world, ascending to the endless stars of the cosmos. There, a Cultivator may advance to become an Earth Immortal, then a Heavenly Immortal, ultimately ascending even higher to an Immortal Emperor or a Heavenly God!"
"Then this Immortal Monarch..." Su Youuu asked uncertainly from nearby.
"Among the ranks of Immortals, there are the Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Immortal Taiyi, Nine Heavens Immortal, and finally the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Monarch lies above the Profound Immortal Realm but below the Immortal Emperor." Yang Tian explained calmly.
Above the Profound Immortal but below the Pinnacle Immortal?
As the meaning sank in, Di Hai and Su E both took in a frigid breath, their faces ashen and stricken with incomprehensible terror.
And now on this very battlefield of Gods and Demons, where they struggled against even the desolate souls of Fallen Immortals!
The Immortal Monarch existed a full Five Realms above Earth Immortals.
Could this woman truly be the wife of an Immortal Monarch?
How could this be?
Lady Lan revelled in the terror plastered across Di Hai and Su Youuu’s faces, letting out a haughty laugh. "Do you now grasp the extent of my master’s power?"
"If not for her noble decision to steal the Mandarin Duck Immortal’s descent to the Lower Realm and involve herself in the fiery battles of the Immortals, she would have never suffered this fate, becoming a hollow, wandering husk!"
"Yet, even so, as the Primordial Yang Immortal Monarch’s supreme authority governs all, he would certainly rescue my master! Thus, harm not a single hair of her head, lest you provoke the wrath of Primordial Yang’s Immortal Monarch—and court your own demise!"
