Chen Yuan had experienced countless battles and encountered numerous difficulties along his journey. However, the battle in Liangzhou City was undoubtedly one of the most memorable.

He had seen immortals before. As his cultivation grew higher and higher, coupled with fragmented records, he was almost certain that the figure he encountered on the Immortal Mountain of Martial Emperor City was an immortal.

Moro was the second, and the Old Celestial Master of Wudang Mountain was the third. The number was not large, but it wasn't small either. However, he truly witnessed an immortal's power for the first time in Liangzhou City.

That battle remained firmly etched in his memory.

He also understood a saying:

"Beneath immortals, all are ants!"

No matter if you are a heteronomous king who shakes the world or an unparalleled genius who dominates an era, you cannot make waves in the hands of an immortal because they exist on different dimensions.

Immortals have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years or even more.

They possess the true power to overturn mountains and seas.

He had a strong sense of self-awareness. With his strength, he could definitely be considered among the top echelon of the world. But to fight an immortal, it was simply impossible.

Only immortals can deal with immortals!

Therefore, the moment the terrifying pressure descended, Chen Yuan had already made his decision—to awaken the sleeping Moro. Hence, he wasn't despairing.

Perhaps Moro would suffer a severe injury upon being awakened, but that was better than him and Jiang He perishing here.

As long as there's a chance, he can recover.

But one only has one life.

Even a powerful figure like the Hall Master of the Seven Killing Hall, upon the descent of an immortal's power, not to mention fleeing in a panic, avoided confronting such a dangerous level of power.

However, his Second Uncle stayed behind, seemingly wanting to weather the storm with him.

Little did he know, his nephew wasn't as simple as he appeared.

He had even prepared for the fusion of Shura True Monarch and Lin Demon True Monarch, or even the exposure of his true self. But... unexpectedly, and contrary to the expectations of most people present, there was a terrifying expert hidden nearby.

Just as he was about to awaken Moro, that expert made his move!

The changes in the world astonished almost everyone. A powerful and extreme aura suddenly surged from Liangshan Island in the distance.

The immense pressure slowed down the Great Jin Dynasty's national fortune in the void, as well as the immortal's power.

Xiang Qianqiu made his move!

He had been prepared, or rather, wary.

The Xiang family wasn't simple. Many people didn't remember, but he believed the Sima family definitely knew. How could four True Monarchs working together lead to its downfall?

Even if they could, how many of those four True Monarchs would survive?

Therefore, from the moment Song Lun revealed the secret, he realized this. At that moment, Chen Yuan decisively took action, and he decided not to reveal his power unless absolutely necessary, lest it cause other troubles.

However, the immortal's power ultimately appeared.

He knew that his son wasn't simple, having surpassed his predecessors in just a few years, reaching the level of a True Monarch, and even joining the mysterious Dao God Palace that even he found mysterious.

But... he didn't believe Chen Yuan had the strength to withstand an immortal.

He had to make his move!

Because Chen Yuan couldn't die yet.

Not because he had deep affection for this son, but because he couldn't die yet. His preparations weren't complete, and Chen Yuan was a crucial part of them.

It concerned the revival of Great Chu and whether he could break the shackles and follow the path of the Great Ancestor.

Therefore, he acted without hesitation.

Since the imperial court already knew that Liangshan was supported by the Xiang family, then he would make the court even more wary. With no other options available, this was the only choice before him!

"Who!!!"

Sima Che was shocked, sensing a foreboding feeling.

How could there be such a powerful aura?

It could even affect his prepared immortal power and the Great Jin's national fortune!

He wanted to say it was impossible, but the reality was right before his eyes.

Seeing someone making a move, Chen Yuan, who had been about to communicate with the sleeping Moro within the Imperial Slaughter Saber, immediately stopped his divine thoughts. Someone making a move was a good thing.

He could avoid awakening Moro, lest something unpredictable happen.

Without any hesitation, Chen Yuan shouted:

"Retreat!"

This was directed at both Jiang He and his Second Uncle Chen Huaiyi. He didn't want anything to happen to them.

Fortunately, Jiang He and the others weren't foolish enough to remain frozen in place. Almost the moment Chen Yuan shouted, they quickly fled into the distance.

With this retreat, Chen Yuan directly retreated more than ten miles away.

Only by creating distance could he alleviate some of the unease in his heart.

As for the onlookers from the Jianghu and the remaining warriors of Liangshan, they desperately ran away as well. Most of them had already disappeared.

They could observe the battle between True Monarchs from a distance, but a legendary battle between immortals was out of the question.

A single clash could affect dozens of miles.

In a short moment, Chen Yuan and Jiang He retreated together, and Second Uncle Chen Huaiyi also retreated to the side of the Hall Master of the Seven Killing Hall. However, that Hall Master seemed to have some suspicion, taking a deep look at King Chu Jiang, but didn't say anything more.

Of course, Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu weren't stupid either. When the void changed, they had already retreated to a safe area, prepared to retreat.

As for the other Yama Kings and Liangshan Transformation Yang cultivators, they had also stopped fighting and retreated to a safe area.

Um... and Lu Guangsheng.

This guy even burned his Qi and blood, running as fast as Chen Yuan and the others.

The only one remaining close was Sima Che.

He was enveloped in a radiance, like national fortune or immortal power, that could block most of the aftershocks. After all, this power was closely related to him.

These events seemed slow, but they all happened in an instant.

After the soaring aura swept across the heavens and the earth, a black-clothed figure, whose appearance couldn't be clearly seen, stepped out from Liangshan Island. Each step seemed to land on a crucial node, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the main battlefield where the previous clash occurred.

The figure was enveloped in a blurry light, like Dao intent. Even True Monarch experts couldn't see clearly, causing great shock.

However, Chen Yuan thought carefully that since this person could resist that powerful pressure, he was likely to be at that level of existence, and he didn't want people to see his origins, so he deliberately concealed them.

"Who are you?"

Sima Che stared at the black-clothed man in the distance, feeling a sense of danger in his heart.

"Aren't you looking for me?"

Xiang Qianqiu's voice was strange, deep with a hint of ethereality, as if dozens or hundreds of people were speaking together, causing echoes in the heavens and the earth.

In his hand, he held a divine spear that exuded extreme terror, like a divine pillar, radiating endless killing intent.

"Godslaying Spear!"

When Sima Che saw the spear in the man's hand, his heart suddenly trembled. The Sima family was very familiar with this divine spear.

They still remembered it vividly.

Because this divine spear, or rather, this immortal weapon, was the weapon used by the Chu Great Ancestor who once swept across the world. It was said that more than one immortal and demon god had fallen under this immortal weapon.

That was why it had the prestige of the Godslaying Spear.

In terms of power, apart from the Martial Emperor's weapon that once paved the way for the human race, this spear could be called the number one weapon in the world, a true treasure of slaughter!

And the existence that could wield the Godslaying Spear was naturally self-evident.

The former Crown Prince of Chu, the current Patriarch of the Xiang family... Xiang Qianqiu!

He was extremely shocked because, according to the imperial court's judgment, Xiang Qianqiu's strength was at most in the top ten of the Supreme List. He was feared because of the Xiang family's foundation.

But judging by the aura he was exuding, he was already approaching the sixth realm.

Claiming a world of his own, Hunyuan perfection!

The Xiang family's talent... was too terrifying, worthy of the Martial God's bloodline.

"You're courting death!!!"

Sima Che was both shocked and angry, unable to help but shout.

"Noisy!"

Xiang Qianqiu's gaze sharpened, and he pointed the Godslaying Spear forward. In an instant, the void twisted, and the ultimate power of slaughter swept across the sky.

"Great Ancestor!"

Sima Che shouted loudly, quickly retreating, and continuously tapped his chest with his fingertips, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood, which transformed into mystical runes that merged into the void.

Originally, he intended to kill two True Monarchs from the Dao God Palace with a single immortal strike, but against Xiang Qianqiu, he couldn't. He could only use his essence blood to activate the exotic treasure left behind by the Great Ancestor, awakening the power he had left behind.

Only in this way could he kill Xiang Qianqiu.

As long as he killed him, the Xiang family would probably not be a threat.

The moment the runes merged into the void, a tribulation thunderbolt as thick as a zhang instantly fell, breaking the cold light of the Godslaying Spear. Then, the Great Jin's national fortune gathered in the void and rolled frantically.

That divine spear locked onto Xiang Qianqiu and crashed down.

The heavens and the earth were filled with an ultimate sense of oppression. The massive lake below instantly collapsed, the void twisting and distorting. Even from more than ten miles away, the True Monarchs who were watching felt terrified.

Immortal power was terrifying!

But Xiang Qianqiu remained unfazed, as if he had expected it, and said indifferently:

"Then I will test the means of you old ghost!"

The next moment, Xiang Qianqiu went against the trend, holding the Godslaying Spear, covered in a mystical power of rules, and confronting it head-on.

"Boom!!!"

An unprecedented terrifying roar, even those who were dozens of miles away couldn't help but cover their ears, feeling a roar in their minds.

The entire world seemed to be collapsing, inch by inch.

Liangshan was instantly razed to the ground, all buildings completely destroyed. The lake below was also turned into a vacuum under this attack. The light emitted from the terrifying center of the battle even suppressed the sun at this moment.

Terrifying! Exceptionally terrifying!

Xiang Qianqiu's combat power was fully activated, relying on the Godslaying Spear, he was like an immortal god!

It was completely different from when he was competing for the dragon vein Qi in the ancient Golden Royal Court of the Northern Barbarians.

As for Chen Yuan, who was watching, his pupils constricted deeply, feeling horrified by the existence that directly confronted the immortal.

This... was probably close to an immortal, right?!

He had personally endured such powerful power, knowing how terrifying it was. The power of all beings, plus the power of many powerful figures infused into him, summoned the remaining thoughts of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, which shattered the Dharma body of the Barbarian God.

As a price, he even nearly died!

But this person relied on himself.

"That spear... is not simple!"

Suddenly, Jiang He said in a deep voice.

"An immortal weapon?"

"It's more than just an ordinary immortal weapon," Jiang He commented with a frown.

"I never thought that there would be such a terrifying person in the world. I'm afraid... even Ye Xiangnan, who is known as the second in the world, is not his opponent. Who is he?"

Jiang He murmured in a low voice.

Chen Yuan's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

But he felt it was unlikely, and his eyes flickered.

As the aftermath dissipated, the divine spear in the void was shattered, turning into nothingness. No, to be precise, it seemed that it was originally a non-existent existence that had been condensed.

As for the black-clothed figure, he retreated thousands of feet, suspended in the void.

A trace of blood hung on the corner of Xiang Qianqiu's mouth. He reached out and gently wiped it away, his eyes filled with madness, and he murmured:

"A remaining treasure is so terrifying, requiring me to use all my strength to contend with it. It's indeed not simple... but that's all it is.

Hehe, although it's not his true body, it's estimated to be 70-80% of the old ghost's former strength. It seems that the saying that immortals are invincible is not an iron law after all. It's been so many years.

I haven't truly made a move yet. Today, I will test my limits."

His murmur was not heard by anyone, because everyone was still in shock and unable to extricate themselves.

Chen Huaiyi, who was watching from afar, seemed to recognize who this person was. A hint of hatred and killing intent flashed in his eyes, but there was also a trace of despair, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

The Xiang family was too terrifying.

The Hall Master of the Seven Killing Hall had an uncertain look in his eyes and was also shocked on the spot. He had experienced Xiang Qianqiu's methods, but today was the first time he had truly witnessed what terror was.

Below immortals, no one was his opponent.

As for above immortals, he couldn't be sure at the moment.

Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu were even more frozen on the spot, not saying a word for a long time.

If he were to use one word to describe it, it would be shock!

Sima Che exclaimed in his heart:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

However, no matter how impossible it was, the reality was before his eyes. Xiang Qianqiu, relying on the Godslaying Spear, was able to block an immortal strike and seemed to be unharmed.

This... subverted their understanding.

Xiang Qianqiu's long hair fluttered, ignoring everyone present, and only looked up at the changes in the void, in the rolling sea of national fortune.

A figure was looming.

This was the true trump card that the Sima old ghost had left for the Sima family before he fell asleep.

Mystical divine patterns, almost identical to those that had appeared on Chen Yuan before, crawled all over Xiang Qianqiu's face, and his eyes exuded a faint light.

Double pupils!

His aura surged again.

The next moment, without any nonsense, Xiang Qianqiu moved again in front of everyone, turning into a stream of light and directly rushing into the national fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty to fight with the looming figure.

Defying the heavens and slaying immortals!

Streams of divine light illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the rolling national fortune surged endlessly.

Mystical powers of rules spread throughout the heavens and the earth, and roars like the end of the world.

It was like the roar of the Great Dao, like a true immortal descending!

Regardless of whether they recognized this person as Xiang Qianqiu, everyone was shocked on the spot. Gu Tianqiong and the Hall Master of the Seven Killing Hall, these two peerless True Monarchs, remained silent.

This had already exceeded the limits of True Monarchs.

How did he do it?

Now, they only had this one question in their hearts.

Below immortals, can one really explode with the power to slay immortals?

That void was obviously not a true immortal, but judging by the extent of the battle, it was probably not far off.

Some people were even wondering, if Song Lun were resurrected, would he have the courage to betray the Xiang family and betray Xiang Qianqiu after seeing this scene?

"This is the limit below immortals."

Jiang He said in a deep voice.

"Yeah."

Chen Yuan deeply agreed.

To be able to defy the heavens and slay immortals was definitely the limit.

"The cultivation of the Yang God has reached its peak, the divine powers and the physical body have reached their peak, the state of mind is perfect, the state of artistic conception is perfect, he has touched the Dao realm, and he also wields an extremely terrifying immortal weapon..."

Jiang He said as he shook his head, unable to help but sigh.

"A true man should be like this!"

Flames of desire flickered in Chen Yuan's eyes.

One day, he will become stronger than this person!

The terror in the void continued. The fluctuations had surpassed the bright sun, like gods and immortals colliding in myths, divine splendor filled the sky, and rules roared.

And in the secret realm of the Seven Killing Hall, thousands of miles away.

In a deep abyss that was revered as a forbidden area by the Seven Killing Hall, a faint breeze blew through the area. Among the chains, an ancient bronze divine coffin suddenly trembled slightly.

As if sensing something, faint mystical patterns lit up slightly, connecting with the power of the entire secret realm.

Before Liangshan, although the battle here only affected about a hundred miles, the movement could be clearly felt even hundreds of miles away. Many martial artists who had achieved some success sensed the ground trembling and couldn't help but look towards Liangshan.

Time passed minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Sima Che, who had originally wished to kill Xiang Qianqiu, suddenly changed his expression. His originally ruddy and lustrous face began to wither, becoming somewhat emaciated.

"Boom!!!"

Another roar far exceeding the previous one erupted, as if the entire world had become silent.

The originally surging national fortune of the imperial dynasty was now rapidly dissipating, and the previous endless splendor began to dim. The terrifying battle seemed to have come to an end.

"Is it over?"

Jiang He looked up at the void with a solemn voice.

Chen Yuan also looked up and saw the void that was returning to calm.

"Who won and who lost?"

The two looked at each other, their faces suspicious.

Was it defying the heavens and slaying immortals, or was it ruthless suppression?

At this time, Sima Che spat out a mouthful of old blood and roared:

"Run!!!"

After saying that, without waiting for Li Kuangxiu and Gu Tianqiong, he instantly lit up the teleportation array that had just been set up beside him and quickly transformed into a stream of light that drilled into it.

Li Kuangxiu and Gu Tianqiong were half a beat slower, but they weren't stupid either. After knowing the outcome, they didn't hesitate to merge into the void and began to flee.

But sometimes, it wasn't as simple as wanting to leave when you wanted to and come when you wanted to.

In the void where the previous battle took place, a ray of ultimate light suddenly bloomed, splitting into two in an instant, and then merging into the nothingness, seemingly wanting to completely leave them behind!

It's finally almost over.
