Chapter 1222 Suppressing the Third-Order Eternal Immortal King
The Primordial Immortal Boat, with its top-floor Immortal Palace.
Su Mo and the Immortal King Xuanzhen were playing chess on a white jade chessboard. The chessboard was covered with a layer of cloud patterns as thin as a cicada's wing, and the black and white chess pieces were like condensed stars, shimmering with a faint glow as they moved between the two players' fingertips.
Su Mo, playing black, placed his piece like a thunderclap. The moment his fingertips touched the piece, chaotic energy swirled across the board. Each move carried the sharp edge of nascent chaos, pressing forward relentlessly and threatening to destabilize the white pieces, as if reenacting the grandeur of creation on the chessboard. Xuanzhen Immortal King, playing white, responded with the fluidity of a flowing river of stars, his defense measured and measured. The white pieces he picked up were tinged with a faint moonlight, their trajectory resembling the stars in the heavens, barely maintaining his defensive line. The chessboard was faintly visible with winding star trails, attempting to use the unchanging order of antiquity to resist the wildness of chaos.
Suddenly, Su Mo raised his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the glazed dome of the Immortal Palace, looking at the inky black mist outside the boat, a cold smile curving his lips.
Then, Su Mo shifted his gaze back to the chessboard, picked up a black piece with his fingertips, and placed it with perfect force and angle, as if he hadn't noticed anything, continuing his game of chess with Xuanzhen Immortal King.
......
Nearly a hundred cosmic years away from the Yuanji Immortal Ship, in the pitch-black void, two figures were engaged in a frenzied battle with earth-shattering force. The intense light generated by the collision of laws pierced through the black mist, illuminating fleeting pillars of light in the chaos.
The man on the left was clad in dark gold immortal armor, engraved with countless dragon patterns. Each pattern flowed with purple-gold immortal light, moving like living dragons, protecting him completely. In his hand, a golden dragon spear was surrounded by nine golden dragon phantoms. Wherever the spear tip pointed, space cracked open with dark fissures. The spear's wind howled with a deafening roar like a dragon's cry. Each thrust contained a domineering power that could tear apart chaos, as if it wanted to pierce a hole in the entire world.
On the right stood a white-robed sword immortal, his plain robes fluttering in the surging energy, yet he showed no sign of disarray, appearing as if a celestial being treading upon a galaxy. His Eternal Immortal Sword was entirely white, its blade shimmering with brilliant moonlight. A seemingly effortless swing unleashed countless sword energies, like a cascading galaxy, each imbued with extreme sharpness, capable of easily severing the defenses of a second-tier Eternal Immortal King.
Sword energy crisscrossed, weaving into a dense sword net that blocked all escape routes for the Dark Gold Immortal Armor user. Hidden among the numerous sword shadows was a deadly attack; a moment's carelessness could result in being pierced through the heart by a thousand swords.
The two possessed auras so powerful that they were nearly on par with late-stage third-tier Eternal Immortal Kings, only slightly inferior to the Xuanzhen Immortal King. The third-tier Eternal Immortal King in dark gold armor wielded a spear with unparalleled dominance, its shadow like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, stirring up the void; while the white-robed sword immortal's swordplay was agile and unpredictable, its sword momentum like a meteor chasing the moon, always able to tear through defenses at the last possible moment.
A terrifying surge of energy raged outwards from the two of them, tearing space and time apart like paper, revealing an even deeper void behind them; the chaotic immortal rules were shattered and turned into specks of light; even the thick black mist in the inner circle that could corrode immortal souls was quickly annihilated under the violent energy impact, revealing a temporarily clear vacuum zone.
"clang......"
The Golden Dragon Spear and the Eternal Immortal Sword clashed once more, producing a deafening metallic clang. The sound waves transformed into tangible shockwaves that spread outwards, causing the void within billions of light-years to tremble and ripple like water across the spatial barriers. The third-tier Eternal Immortal King, clad in dark gold immortal armor, was forced back repeatedly. With each step, a piece of the void beneath his feet shattered, and a trickle of golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. The white-robed sword immortal was not faring any better. His figure swayed, and thirty percent of his billions of sword energies dissipated, turning into countless specks of light. His face paled for a moment, and his aura became slightly disordered, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter. The immortal sword in his hand hummed, as if yearning for more slaughter.
"Crimson Dragon Immortal King, your spear technique is indeed fierce, but you are still far from being able to kill me." The white-robed sword immortal's voice was cold, and he swung his immortal sword again. This time, the sword energy was no longer scattered, but condensed into a white ribbon that was hundreds of millions of light-years long. Like the first ray of light that cut through chaos, it carried the majesty of heaven and directly slashed at the Crimson Dragon Immortal King.
"Lingxu brat, don't be so arrogant! You dare to snatch food from my jaws, you will pay a bloody price."
With a roar, the Crimson Dragon Immortal King plunged his Golden Dragon Spear into the void. The spear burst forth with ten thousand feet of golden light, and nine golden dragon phantoms roared out, forming a huge dragon-shaped barrier in front of him, forcefully blocking the terrifying sword energy.
"Boom..."
The moment the sword energy collided with the dragon wall, the entire void trembled violently, and the energy shockwave spread like a tsunami, turning the black mist further away into a vortex.
Just then...
A clear, cold voice rolled from the chaos surrounding the battlefield, its direction indiscernible, yet it resounded in their ears like a great bell, making their immortal souls buzz: "Four Symbols Subduing Demon Formation, activate!"
Before the words were even finished, four dazzling pillars of light suddenly appeared in the four directions: east, west, south, and north. These pillars, shimmering with blue, white, vermilion, and black light, shot straight into the sky, illuminating the void, which had been churned by the energy surge, as if it were daytime. Four majestic figures slowly materialized within the pillars of light, each billions of feet tall, their auras unfathomable, surrounded by halos resembling chains of laws.
Immediately afterwards, the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts appeared out of nowhere—the Azure Dragon of the East coiled and spun, its scales and claws gleaming with a powerful azure light, its roar shaking time and space, even freezing the energy shockwaves; the White Tiger of the West raised its head and roared, its silvery-white fur like ten thousand sharp blades, its roar carrying a terrifying power that could tear apart even the immortal soul, making people's hearts tremble; the Vermilion Bird of the South flapped its wings as if about to take flight, its fiery wings burning with the Vermilion Bird True Fire that could incinerate everything, burning the black mist in its path to ashes; the Black Tortoise of the North intertwined with a tortoise and a snake, its black tortoise shell engraved with billions of defensive runes, exuding an unchanging weight, as if it could bear the weight of the entire world.
The Four Divine Beasts blotted out the sky and occupied billions of light-years of void. Terrifying pressures, enough to frighten even the vast majority of fourth-order Eternal Immortal Kings, rose from their bodies, crushing towards the Crimson Dragon Immortal King and the Lingxu Immortal King like a collapsing sky. Wherever they passed, even the energy shockwaves were forcibly flattened, turning into gentle streams of light.
In an instant, the Crimson Dragon Immortal King and the Soaring Void Immortal King's expressions changed drastically, their pupils shrinking to needle-like sizes. An extreme sense of despair washed over them like ice water, spreading from the depths of their immortal souls to their limbs and bones. This pressure... it was from a fourth-tier Eternal Immortal King! And a peak fourth-tier Eternal Immortal King at that!
"It's over, I'm finished!" the Crimson Dragon Immortal King roared inwardly, even the golden dragon phantom on his Golden Dragon Spear trembled under the oppressive force. Even if he and that brat Ling Xu put aside their past grievances and joined forces against him, they would still be no match for a peak fourth-tier Eternal Immortal King, and their chances of escaping were slim, let alone four peak fourth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings. This was leaving them absolutely no way out!
On the other side, Lingxu Immortal King suppressed his fear and said in a trembling voice, "Senior, I have never met you before. There must be some misunderstanding between us. I am willing to offer up all my treasures, just to ask that you spare my life!"
"Misunderstanding?" Inside the top-floor immortal hall of the Yuanji Immortal Ship, Su Mo's fingers, which were holding a chess piece, paused slightly. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he sneered inwardly, "In the cultivation world, do you need a reason to kill someone? It's all just the law of the jungle."
If we really have to give a reason, their weakness is their greatest original sin! Since they dared to come to the forbidden area to steal treasures, they should have been prepared to die and their souls would perish.
The next second...
With a slight thought, Su Mo caused the four sacred beasts to simultaneously unleash a fierce light in their eyes.
The Azure Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a powerful, eternal law of wood, which transformed into thousands of vines that tightly bound the Crimson Dragon Immortal King like venomous snakes. The vines tightened, producing a crisp sound as bones were crushed. The White Tiger swung its claws and unleashed a silver-white eternal law of gold, which condensed into a giant claw that reached the sky. With its indestructible sharpness, it slashed directly at the Lingxu Immortal King's sword net, shattering the sword energy wherever it passed. The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and blazing flames poured down like a waterfall. The flames contained the essence of the Southern Bright Fire, capable of scorching immortal souls and eternal laws. The Black Tortoise transformed into a dark barrier, the runes on its tortoise shell lighting up, sealing off all escape routes for the two. The gravitational eternal law power emanating from the barrier made it extremely difficult for them to even lift their hands.
The Crimson Dragon Immortal King roared and swallowed a forbidden immortal pill. The pill instantly unleashed destructive power, his muscles bulged, his dark gold immortal armor glowed red, and his golden dragon spear emitted unprecedented light, attempting to tear the vines apart. However, the laws of wood were like a persistent, insidious disease; for every wisp torn, ten more would spring back, their resilience seemingly endless. The Soaring Void Immortal King, on the other hand, burned his eternal origin, pushing his natal immortal weapon, the Eternal Immortal Sword, to its limit. The sword erupted with dazzling white light, and countless sword energies condensed into a colossal sword that clashed head-on with the White Tiger's claw shadow. The difference of only one and a half major ranks was like an insurmountable chasm, far beyond what they could overcome with desperate effort. Each collision only exacerbated the depletion of their origin.
Moreover, the four sacred beasts are interconnected, with wood assisting fire, fire generating earth, earth generating metal, and metal generating water. Their laws complement each other, and the power they truly unleash is far more than just one plus one equals two; it forms a closed-loop killing net.
In the short span of time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the power of the two was completely shattered by the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts. The power of the four eternal laws surged into their bodies with unstoppable force, mercilessly sealing their Great Dao Lotus Platform, their natal immortal soul, and everything else.
The Four Divine Beasts slowly withdrew their oppressive aura, and four majestic figures stepped forward. With a wave of their hands, they unleashed two sealing runes, transforming the sealed Crimson Dragon Immortal King and Lingxu Immortal King into two streams of light and drawing them into their natal immortal domains. Immediately afterward, the illusory images of the Four Divine Beasts dissipated, the four pillars of light vanished, and the entire void was once again shrouded in the formless, eerie mist, as if the earth-shattering battle and hunt had never happened. Only a trace of blood and the aftershocks of law remained in the air, which were quickly swallowed up by the black mist, returning to deathly silence.
