Li Guanqi's expression grew solemn, his voice deep.
"Then what about you, Grandfather?"
"They..."
Su Xuan turned around, his withered palm gently stroking Li Guanqi's head.
Opening his arms, the diminutive elder pulled Li Guanqi into an embrace.
His large hands gently patted Li Guanqi's back, and his voice was soft as he whispered, "Cultivate well. Strive to come up and find me as soon as you can."
Suddenly!
A gentle wave of power pushed Li Guanqi away in an instant!
Su Xuan slowly turned back, looking toward the gathered immortals with disdainful eyes!!
Watching Su Xuan's figure grow smaller in the distance, Li Guanqi felt an abrupt pang of sorrow and reluctance surge in his chest.
"Grandfather!!!"
Su Xuan looked back over his shoulder.
Tears welled in Li Guanqi's eyes as he shouted fiercely:
"Wait for me in the Immortal Realm!!!"
Hearing this, Su Xuan laughed heartily. With a broad wave of his sleeve, he bellowed, "Then your grandfather will show you just how... ferocious I truly am!"
As his words fell, Li Guanqi sensed the Heavenly Dao rules of the entire Youhuang Realm trembling faintly.
Immediately after, nearly a third of the Heavenly Dao's power across the entire Youhuang Realm began surging toward Su Xuan!!!
Li Guanqi's eyes widened, staring at the sight in disbelief.
Rumble!!!!
A terrifying pressure surged skyward with wild abandon, breaking past the barrier of the Heavenly Immortal realm in the blink of an eye.
Su Xuan's aura rose continuously. The elder parted his thin lips slightly.
"A bunch of wretched trash like you... thinks you can kill me?"
Boom!!!
First-tier Golden Immortal realm!!
"No! This is impossible!!!!"
Su Xuan took a slow step forward, clenching his right hand loosely to condense a longblade of immortal primal energy once more.
Thud!!
A dull roar abruptly rolled out in all directions as the void fractured for thousands of zhang!!
Second-tier Golden Immortal realm!!!
A Golden Immortal...
This was the Human Spirit Realm!
Su Xuan chuckled with nonchalant ease.
"Naturally, the Youhuang Realm cannot bear my full might..."
"However... what if I had dispersed my Dao into the Youhuang Realm?"
Terror flickered in the depths of the man named Liang Xiong's eyes. In a chilling voice, he said:
"He dispersed his power into the Youhuang Realm... That way, he could maintain the power of the peak Heavenly Immortal realm, yet break through into the Golden Immortal realm at any moment!"
"Yet... such a terrifying method requires the cultivation of at least an Immortal Monarch!!"
"Who on earth is he?! When did such an Immortal Monarch ever emerge in the Ten Lands and Eight Desolations?"
The woman who had remained silent all along held a jade disc, frantically channeling its power.
Amid flickering spiritual light, beams of celestial radiance plunged down through the sky.
Following the passage previously shattered by the jade ruyi, they suddenly descended!!
Indistinct figures of Immortal Realm cultivators numbered into the hundreds.
Yet once that was done, the woman actually flipped the jade disc over!
The pitch-black reverse side of the jade disc emanated a roiling demonic qi. In an instant, the seals on the Demon-Suppressing Rifts across the Six Domains shattered!!
Chaos engulfed the Six Domains, plunging all living beings into misery...
Li Guanqi looked at Su Xuan, whose aura was so magnificent that a single man seemed capable of holding back ten thousand immortals. His eyes burned bright.
It was as though nothing in heaven or earth could ever confound this elder.
And all of this stemmed from his inexhaustible methods, as well as cultivation strength that no one could ever fathom!
Every time the Immortal Realm thought they had overestimated Su Xuan, they still fell short of testing his true limits.
Dong!!!
A muffled boom sounded. Ling Tianchen, having gathered his strength for so long, pointed his sword toward the heavens and shot up from the ground!!
Boom!!!
Longsword in hand, Ling Tianchen soared straight toward the firmament like a blade unsheathed.
Su Xuan understood tacitly. Seizing the momentum of his restored strength, he manipulated the Heavenly Dao to suppress everyone for a single, fleeting instant!
Boom!!!!
A terrifying sword that pierced the heavens rose from the Youhuang Realm into the void!
Skreech!!
A shrill, piercing blast rang out as sword light flashed and vanished like lightning!
Su Xuan's pull on the Heavenly Dao was broken in that same instant by the three Golden Immortals joining forces!
Yet in that single breath, Ling Tianchen's strike had cut down six immortals!
But the attacks of over a dozen Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators crashed onto his body as well!
In mere moments, the elder's flesh and blood were disintegrating, on the verge of being utterly crushed to death.
Su Xuan teleported to his side, snatching him and pulling him into his own domain realm.
Before losing consciousness, Ling Tianchen spoke only a single sentence:
"Take me up."
Su Xuan smiled faintly and sent a soft voice transmission:
"Rest easy. If you don't come up... who will protect me when the time comes?"
With those words, Su Xuan raised his hand and slashed apart the residual shockwaves with several strikes. He turned toward the assembled immortals and spoke in a chilling tone:
"Since matters have come to this, let us use your necks to test whether this old man's blade... is sharp enough!"
His eyes gleamed. Stepping forward, Su Xuan flickered in rapid succession, darting straight toward the passage opened by the jade disc!
The elder and the burly man exchanged glances with their companion, barking coldly:
"Stop him!!"
"Slaughter the entire Seventh Domain! Especially that boy from before! Under no circumstances may he be allowed to ascend successfully!!"
With the passage established, nearly three hundred immortals descended to the lower realm!
Standing in the shattered void, Li Guanqi wore a grave expression.
At this point, within the Seventh Domain, all seven domain layers were interconnected, no longer separated.
Now, relying solely on the power of the Heavenly Dao laws mobilized by Su Xuan, the suppression exerted upon these cultivators was reduced to roughly half!
That meant...
If Su Xuan had not forged the Seventh Domain at the position closest to the Heavenly Dao, they would currently be facing Immortal Realm cultivators at the peak of their power.
Yet even with all seven domains pierced through, the fact that half of the suppressive force remained active was clearly an outcome Su Xuan had anticipated long ago!
Still...
Even so, the circumstances facing all the cultivators of the Seventh Domain were extraordinarily perilous!
Where previously only those around the sixth tier of the Heavenly Immortal realm could maintain the power of the Tribulation Transcendence realm, now an eighth-tier Mystic Immortal could do so.
Cultivators at the third tier of the Heavenly Immortal realm could even barely maintain the terrifying strength of an early Ascension realm cultivator!
The enemies facing the cultivators of the Seventh Domain were an entire tier stronger than before!
Li Guanqi looked grim and resolute, gripping Red Lotus as he stood before all the cultivators of the Seven Domains!
By now, there was nothing left for Li Guanqi to conceal.
Laced with primal energy, his voice carried far across the expanse:
"Fellow Daoists... My grandfather is currently beyond the realm, besieged by Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals!
"We too must face a host of Immortal Realm cultivators.
"If we win this battle, every one of us shall ascend!
"If we lose... the Human Spirit Realm will be destroyed, the common people lost, and all living things plunged into ruin."
Li Guanqi took a deep breath, his eyes blazing like torches as he tightened his grip on his sword.
Looking up at the steadily solidifying Immortal Realm passage, he shouted in a cold voice:
"Everyone!!"
"Fight to the death!!!"
As his words fell, all the cultivators raised their arms and roared in unison!
If they won this battle, everyone could ascend to the Immortal Realm and never have to remain trapped in the Seventh Domain again.
Whether for the common mortals of the world or for themselves, every one of them had already staked their lives!
Hum!!!
Spatial ripples slowly surfaced as Ye Feng returned, bringing Gu Li with him.
Li Guanqi looked back at everyone, nodded solemnly, and said in a heavy voice,
"Brothers, stay alive, and we will ascend to the Immortal Realm together!!"
Everyone nodded heavily. Li Guanqi turned to look at Meng Wanshu, his gaze resolute as he squeezed her hand.
Weng!!!!
Heaven and earth shuddered as a teleportation passage a full hundred zhang wide snapped open in an instant!
Hundreds of figures materialized one after another. Though the auras of these several hundred upper-realm immortals plummeted rapidly, there were still dozens of Tribulation Transcendence realm cultivators—and even five or six at the Ascension realm!!
