Undying Life

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Sacred Realm of Shitian

"Ao Sihai, you're courting death!" Hao Meili's face turned red with anger as she glared at Ao Sihai in mid-air.

Suddenly, a fierce wind swept around Ao Sihai, filled with the eerie sounds of ghostly wails and wolf howls.

"Boom——!"

A thunderous explosion echoed in the sky, and a greenish hue spread above Ao Sihai as he unleashed his own sky. Despite this, the chilling wind continued to swirl around him, bringing an icy coldness that made snowflakes fall.

The dragons that had been flying towards Ao Sihai retreated, clearly intimidated by the terrifying cold.

At the South Heavenly Gate, Yi Yan and the others looked at Hao Meili with curiosity, aware of her strange powers.

"What are you doing? Come back!" came a little girl's voice from beneath Hao Meili.

It was the little golden dragon at her feet, which had not flown towards Ao Sihai.

At the little golden dragon's call, nineteen of the hundred dragons behind Ao Sihai returned, while the rest seemed hesitant, unsure of what to do.

"Hao Meili, it's you again. I haven't pursued the matter of the Transcendent Seal, and now you..." Ao Sihai said coldly.

"Boom——!"

A sudden clap of thunder interrupted Ao Sihai's words, causing him to flinch and look skyward.

"Crack."

With a sharp sound, Ao Sihai's neck twisted awkwardly, and he seemed unable to turn it back. His face changed dramatically.

The thunder had ceased, but Ao Sihai's reaction was peculiar. Why did he look so startled?

Yi Yan, the Clay Bodhisattva, and the others quickly glanced up but saw nothing unusual. Why was Ao Sihai making that expression?

What they couldn't know was that Ao Sihai had somehow twisted his neck—a near-impossible occurrence for someone of his Heavenly Extreme Realm stature.

"I promised Zhong Shan I would protect him. Ao Sihai, if you dare to cause trouble, I will..." Hao Meili began to threaten.

"Meili!" the little golden dragon interrupted.

"Xiao Jin, what is it? Are you going to plead for him again? Last time I spared him because of you!" Hao Meili frowned.

"Let him go. He is, after all, the Dragon Clan Supreme, and he took care of me in the past. Besides, you spent those years in the Dragon Palace," the little golden dragon implored.

Hao Meili furrowed her brows, took a deep breath, and glared fiercely at Ao Sihai. "Fine, get out of my sight! But leave all the dragons here!"

"Crack!" Ao Sihai finally managed to turn his neck back.

"Ridiculous. How could dragon affairs be interfered with by outsiders? I came here to take all the dragons back. The dragon clan is the national beast of Great Qin, not of Dazhen, and certainly not your pet, Hao Meili," Ao Sihai said sternly.

"Meili, let them go," the little golden dragon urged.

Hao Meili looked at the little golden dragon and then angrily at the distant group of dragons, her eyes filled with resentment.

The dragons, sensing Hao Meili's frightening anger, felt a sudden chill.

"Remember what I taught you about the Eastern Azure Dragon Array. If any of you dare to speak of it, I curse you to die a painful death!" Hao Meili threatened coldly.

"Roar!"

The dragons hastily nodded in agreement.

With the departure of the dragons, the Four-Sign Array disbanded on its own, leaving Lingxiao Heavenly Court vulnerable once again. The ministers and defenders watched with tension as the situation rapidly changed, knowing the next steps would be critical in defending against the formidable forces surrounding them.

"Ao Sihai, you...!" Hao Meili began, but she was cut off by a surge of anger.

"Leave!" Hao Meili shouted.

"Boom——!"

The sky erupted with endless lightning. Ao Sihai shivered, his body covered in cold sweat, and one of the dragons behind him coughed up blood. Ao Sihai looked at Hao Meili in shock.

"Let's go!" Ao Sihai commanded, quickly retreating with his dragons.

Once they were away from Lingxiao Heavenly Court, the dragons were visibly terrified, and Ao Sihai was filled with suppressed rage.

"Tell me, what did Hao Meili teach you? What did you encounter?" Ao Sihai demanded.

The dragons hesitated, but a brave red dragon, after checking that Hao Meili wasn't following, spoke up. "Supreme, Hao Meili taught us a powerful formation. The formation is..."

"Look at yourself, Old Red!" another dragon shouted in alarm.

Everyone turned to see the red dragon's body breaking out in countless pustules, his skin quickly rotting away.

"Ugh!" The red dragon spat out a mouthful of foul blood, dying instantly and falling into a valley below, where his body dissolved into a pool of blood.

The dragons backed away in terror, their hearts chilled to the core. Even Ao Sihai felt a shiver run through his body.

"What is going on?" Ao Sihai swallowed hard, asking, but no dragon dared to speak, only shaking their heads in fear.

"Dazhen? Hao Meili? This is too much. Let's go to Great Qin and ask Ying to seek justice for the dragon clan. Dazhen deceived the national beast of Great Qin, and Ying will not let this go!" Ao Sihai declared.

With that, he led the dragons north towards Great Qin.

While Ao Sihai's arrival had been noticed by the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts from a distance, he couldn't hear their conversation. All he saw was Ao Sihai unleashing his "sky," followed by the betrayal of a small golden dragon and then Ao Sihai's retreat.

"The Dragon Clan Supreme, Ao Sihai?" the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts murmured.

"A strange Small Thousand World!" one of his followers remarked, shaking his head.

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Array is broken. No matter. Their array is also broken. Let's proceed with the attack on Lingxiao Heavenly Court!" another suggested.

"Agreed!" The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts nodded.

A blue light shot towards the distance, signaling the broken array. Immediately, the ten thousand demon beasts roared and charged towards Lingxiao Heavenly Court.

"Guardian beasts of Dazhen, defend Lingxiao Heavenly Court!" Yi Yan ordered from the South Heavenly Gate.

Though the Four-Sign Array was broken, the divine beasts remained. Phoenixes, Xuanwu, tigers, and countless wolves surged from Lingxiao Heavenly Court to meet the oncoming horde.

Among the demon beasts, the toad demon watched from the South Heavenly Gate. Seeing the situation clearly, it noticed that Emperor Xuan Sha had not moved. Knowing the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts had a backup plan and aware of Dazhen's past victories over the Longevity Realm, the toad demon decided to quietly slip away, thus removing another major force from the battle.

"Kill——!"

With a shout, Zhao Suoxiang led a large army, wielding his spear, and charged out to join the fray. The battle between the demon beasts and the defenders of Dazhen intensified, each side fighting fiercely to gain the upper hand.

Outside Lingxiao Heavenly Court, chaos erupted into a massive battle. From a distance, the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts observed. "It seems our previous plan won't work. Everyone, let's move in. Capture Zhong Shan alive if possible; if not, kill him," the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said, his eyes narrowing.

"Understood!" The group nodded.

With a swift motion, they all rushed towards Lingxiao Heavenly Court. Led by the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts, the five powerful figures headed straight for their target.

As the Ten Thousand Beasts Array dissipated, four differently shaped large blades suddenly shot from the void, aiming at the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts. These were the 'Heavenly Immortal Artifacts,' the treasures used to form the array.

Seeing the powerful opponents approaching, Emperor Xuan Sha's pupils contracted. He immediately recognized the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts at the center and lunged towards him, sending out a massive Skymaster Golden Wheel.

"Boom——!"

The Skymaster Golden Wheel collided with one of the Heavenly Immortal Artifacts. The clash sent the Skymaster Golden Wheel flying back, while the Heavenly Immortal Artifact blade was also repelled.

In the first exchange, neither weapon gained the upper hand.

Next came the two combatants, Emperor Xuan Sha and the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts, each extending a powerful palm strike.

"Boom——!"

The collision of their palms shattered the void, creating a massive black hole that enveloped both fighters. In that moment, neither gained an advantage.

Emperor Xuan Sha's pupils contracted, and the four black-robed figures with the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts also showed signs of astonishment. They were surprised that someone could match the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts blow for blow. Who was this Emperor Xuan Sha?

The surprise wasn't limited to the black-robed figures; even the powerful individuals at the South Heavenly Gate shared the same thoughts. Who could withstand Emperor Xuan Sha's strike?

"Don't worry about me; continue!" the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts ordered calmly.

There was no hint of displeasure in his voice, only excitement at facing Emperor Xuan Sha.

Three of the black-robed figures flew towards Lingxiao Heavenly Court, while one paused, hovering high above.

"Wolf Clan Supreme? Emperor Xuan Sha? Eleventh level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm? I haven't encountered a wolf clan genius like you in a long time. No, none of the past geniuses compare to you. Come, let me see if you're qualified to enter the 'Sacred Realm of Shitian'," the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts said with excitement.

"Remove your hood. Are you so ashamed to show your face?" Emperor Xuan Sha said sternly.

"Ashamed? Perhaps. If you can defeat me, you will see my true face. Let's see if you, a once-in-a-lifetime wolf clan genius, have what it takes to enter the Sacred Realm of Shitian!" The Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts wielded two large blades, both Heavenly Immortal Artifacts.

As he wielded the Heavenly Immortal Artifacts, a menacing aura emanated from him, pressing heavily on Emperor Xuan Sha.

Emperor Xuan Sha narrowed his eyes, sensing the dangerous aura from the Demon of Ten Thousand Beasts. Two Skymaster Golden Wheels appeared around him, ready for battle.

Meanwhile, outside, the three black-robed figures continued their charge towards Lingxiao Heavenly Court.

At the South Heavenly Gate, Wang Ku focused on one of them. His skeletal eyes glowed with a sudden red light.

"Essence of Yin Qi? A pure essence in human form? What a great supplement!" Wang Ku said with excitement, rushing towards the figure.

The battle for Lingxiao Heavenly Court had reached a critical point, with powerful combatants clashing fiercely and the fate of the empire hanging in the balance.
