Chapter 440: Chapter 431: Immortal! (9th Update)

As the lingering aftershocks of the collision gradually subsided, more than a dozen Emperor Realm Great Powers floated in the air, their gazes fixed on the void above.

"Everyone, retreat to Skywind Pass!"

Emperor Xingtian’s voice thundered loudly, rolling across the entire battlefield.

Whoosh!

As his voice fell, the Heavenly Gang faction’s forces turned without hesitation, streaming toward Skywind Pass.

Meanwhile, the Cultivators of Min Huan Domain also swiftly vacated the battlefield, no one willing to linger a second longer.

For at this moment, the war had escalated to the point where Emperor Realm Great Powers clashed; any fluctuation that spread from their collisions could obliterate swathes of people into dust.

Humming sounds reverberated!

Above the endless Heavenly Vault, the void there thrummed violently, shrouded by vast dark clouds as if the day of reckoning was imminent.

A terrifying presence filled Heaven and Earth, casting the surrounding void into deep gloom.

Everyone’s eyes widened in alarm, their scalps tingling, and finally, within that twisted void, figures began to descend.

"The Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Min Huan Domain!"

"Has it really come to this, with dozens arriving this time? Is the great battle truly upon us?"

At Skywind Pass, everyone flooded in, their mouths agape, staring at those emerging from the void, one after another.

There were dozens of them, each exuding the aura of the Emperor Realm, their formidable presences intertwining, filling Heaven and Earth, almost making it difficult to breathe.

Faced with the aggressive arrival of these dozens of Emperor Realm powerhouses, at this moment, even Emperor Xingtian and the others couldn’t help but change their expressions.

Compared to Min Huan, the Heavenly Gang faction was far too weak!

But at this moment, they did not retreat because they were the strongest defensive line of Heavenly Gang. To fall back would spell disaster for the entire faction.

"East Emperor, do you truly wish to engage in all-out war?!"

Emperor Xingtian took a step forward, roaring, his gaze fixed on the foremost person among the dozens of Emperor Realm Great Powers.

That was a middle-aged man, the supreme commander of Min Huan’s invasion into Heavenly Gang territory, and the most daunting presence there!

"If we engage in an all-out war, how will your Heavenly Gang resist?" Eastern Desolate spoke indifferently, eyes locked with Emperor Xingtian.

"You are welcome to try."

Emperor Xingtian frowned and snorted coldly before speaking.

At this moment, a hush fell over the field, no one making a sound, as Emperor Donghuang seemed to ponder something.

After quite some time, he continued, "Although you of Heavenly Gang possess the ’Immortal Bone,’ if we engage in all-out war, it might not withstand the descent of Min Huan’s hundred Emperors. Besides, it is but a mere Immortal Bone. Even if you awaken it, its Immortal Might is greatly diminished."

"Either fight, leading your Heavenly Gang to devastation, or hand over the person who has just transcended the tribulation. This is your choice."

"Pure fantasy!"

Emperor Xingtian scoffed, outright refusing without hesitation; how could he possibly hand over Mo Wangchen?

"Is war your choice then?" Emperor Donghuang narrowed his eyes.

"We, the Heavenly Gang, why fear a battle?"

Emperor Xingtian’s face was fearless, and beside him, Elder Ming and over a dozen other figures from the Emperor Realm were also resolute.

The standoff between dozens of mighty figures from the Emperor Realm was so intense that it filled the entire void, causing even Mo Wangchen and others within Skywind Pass to breathe with heavy hearts.

"Immortal Bones... Could it be the body of an Immortal? Is this what the Heavenly Gang depends on... Does an Immortal truly exist in this world?!"

Beside him, Wu Lingfeng and others had faces full of surprise, learning such astonishing news from the conversation between Emperor Xingtian and Emperor Donghuang.

Ye Jiming, Zhao Yihang, and others were also present at this moment, their voices deep with shock, "Whether Immortals exist in the world has always been an unsolved mystery since Near Ancient times, and now, having traveled through hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps, this mystery... has been unraveled..."

"Rumor has it that beneath the lands of the Southern Desert, an Immortal’s Bone is buried. Perhaps this is true," Bai Qing said, her eyes shining brightly.

Qin Yue’s brow furrowed slightly, as if recalling something. She spoke up, "That day, we found the ruins of the Escape Immortal Palace in the Fallen Immortal Forest, and ancient texts also recorded that buried beneath the Fallen Immortal Forest is the body of an Immortal from the Escape Immortal Palace..."

"Rumors are rumors because they cannot be confirmed, but ancient texts cannot be without basis. If the Heavenly Gang really has an Immortal Bone today, it will confirm the rumor that Immortals indeed once existed in this world!"

"Now that we are deep in this secret realm, how can we make our way out?" Mo Wangchen asked, looking towards Ye Jiming.

Ye Jiming shook his head, "I’m afraid it will take some time, I’m not sure either..."

BOOM!

As everyone conversed, the momentum in the distant sky became even more formidable, as if a great battle could erupt at any moment!

WHIZZ!

But suddenly, just as everyone was being oppressed by that Imperial Might, breathing heavily, a terrifying fluctuation quietly rose within Skywind Pass, within the ancient city.

This fluctuation carried an incomparably pure and holy breath, like Heavenly Might, not to be defied.

All present were startled, and as they looked in astonishment, they saw the void above the city begin to pulsate wildly.

After a moment, the fluctuation gradually subsided, but a phantom figure emerged.

It was a woman wearing white, transparent as if she were a Divine Thought Incarnation, with an ethereal air and a terrifying aura that made one’s heart tremble.

At her appearance, breath hitched throughout the crowd, including the figures of Emperor Xingtian and Emperor Donghuang in the distance, who inwardly flinched.

"Immortal Venerable!" Elder Ming exclaimed.

This woman was indeed a former Immortal of the Heavenly Gang and their reliance, but now, she should have been dead for innumerable years, reduced to white bones; how could a Divine Thought Incarnation be descending now?

"Retreat!"

In that moment, as the woman materialized, Emperor Donghuang in the distant sky cried out and flew back. He sensed an overwhelming crisis from the woman.

This was once an Immortal!

She should have appeared as Immortal Bone, but now, a Divine Thought Incarnation had descended. What had happened?

"After millions of years... Min Huan... still not giving up on invading my Heavenly Gang..."

The woman’s form was elusive as she slowly opened her eyes, revealing an ancient and profound gaze as if wielding the power of eras. As she spoke, her body floated, and in the blink of an eye, she was above the city ramparts.

Her eyes were like pools, her gaze containing a cold sharpness that kept others at a distance, looking towards Emperor Donghuang and others from afar, she said indifferently, "In ancient times, I once cut down a hundred Immortal Venerables and countless Great Emperors of Min Huan, never expecting that to this day, my Heavenly Gang... would fall into such a sorry state..."

Her words were soft, yet they resonated like an Immortal Sound, carrying an awe-inspiring authority that echoed in the hearts of all present, lingering for a long time!
