Chapter 1104: 1012 Cut the grass, remove the roots (asking for monthly votes)

"Retreat now!"

Qin Xue’s expression turned to shock. A beam of white light lit up on her back, and a pair of giant white feathered wings emerged. Judging by the Immortal Qi emanating from them, it was a Low Grade Immortal Artifact.

With a light flap of the white wings, Qin Xue transformed into a streak of white light and disappeared.

At the same time, two other True Immortal Cultivators fled in different directions, their speed astonishingly fast.

"Trying to run now? Too late."

A cold and emotionless voice of a man echoed.

The calm sea surface exploded, sending towering waves more than ten thousand zhang high, sealing off the area within hundreds of thousands of miles.

A massive blue beam shot out from the ocean depths, striking a point in the void. The void tore open, revealing a chasm a thousand zhang wide, and Qin Xue fell from it.

"Destructive Law Eye!"

Qin Xue’s face was filled with disbelief.

A crimson light glimmered behind her, and Shen Long emerged, his back adorned with shimmering red wings of light.

Qin Xue’s lips curled into a slight smile. She raised her right hand, causing a talisman glowing with golden light to shoot out.

The golden talisman exploded, morphing into a massive golden palm inscribed with intricate musical runes, charging straight at Shen Long.

Second Rank Immortal Talisman: Heavenly Tone Annihilation Palm! It carries a sonic attack.

The golden palm struck Shen Long, who let out a piercing scream. His body emitted countless runes and transformed into a glowing Silver Talisman with a moon symbol visible on it.

"Silver Moon Immortal Shadow Talisman!"

Qin Xue’s expression turned grim.

The Silver Moon Immortal Shadow Talisman was a First Rank Immortal Talisman capable of creating a dummy identical to the original body while allowing it to execute some of the caster’s Divine Skills. However, this talisman was highly rare and seldom appeared in the market, typically surfacing during major auctions.

A golden lightning streak appeared as Shen Long reemerged, his back now adorned with gold lightning-arc-covered wings, wielding the Zyphyxial Blade in his hand.

Qin Xue abruptly turned around, a dazzling beam of white light igniting at the center of her forehead, and a white spear shot out—her Divine Soul Form Transformation Attack, her last trump card.

Shen Long’s forehead emitted brilliant red light as a crimson longsword flew out to meet the attack.

The crimson longsword clashed with the white spear, instantly shattering the latter. The crimson longsword’s size diminished by about two-thirds before penetrating Qin Xue’s Protective Immortal Light and striking her.

Qin Xue let out an excruciating scream, her face distorted in pain, her body trembling violently as though she was about to be cleaved in half by the sharp weapon.

Shen Long had successfully cultivated the first two layers of the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method, significantly strengthening his Divine Soul. A high-ranked Divine Soul technique certainly displayed its prowess.

He opened his mouth and spewed forth a massive golden lightning bolt, striking Qin Xue’s Protective Immortal Light before swinging the Zyphyxial Blade and cleaving downward.

Qin Xue’s Protective Immortal Light shattered instantly; her body was split in two by the Zyphyxial Blade, causing her Nascent Soul to flee out. Her expression twisted fiercely, as though preparing to self-detonate.

Shen Long raised his left hand, shooting out a Silver Talisman that stuck onto the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul stabilized, now rendered immobile, and Shen Long stashed it into a Green Jade Box.

With a light flap of his golden wings, Shen Long transformed into a streak of golden lightning and disappeared.

In the next moment, he appeared before a voluptuous woman dressed in a golden gown.

The golden-gowned woman’s forehead radiated dazzling gold light as a slender golden thread shot out directly toward Shen Long.

Divine Sense Crystalization!

Only True Immortal Cultivators with sufficiently powerful Divine Sense could achieve this. The golden thread was material rather than ethereal and specialized in targeting Divine Sense.

Shen Long remained unfazed as brilliant red light burst forth from his forehead. A red thread as thick as a finger shot out to counter the golden thread.

The golden thread collided with the red thread and snapped instantaneously.

The golden-gowned woman cried out in pain, almost tumbling from the sky, and temporarily lost consciousness.

Shen Long opened his mouth and unleashed a giant arc of golden lightning, engulfing the woman’s figure, before slicing with the Zyphyxial Blade, cleaving her Protective Immortal Light and body in two. Her Nascent Soul escaped, only for a Silver Talisman to descend from above and attach itself.

The immobilized Nascent Soul hovered in mid-air before being sealed into a Silver Jade Casket by Shen Long.

Meanwhile, Shen Lie had also dealt with another enemy, capturing their Nascent Soul.

Shen Long looted the belongings of his defeated foes and handed their bodies to Shen Lie and Shen Peng for consumption.

"Shen Lie, stay behind on Myriad Beasts Island. Shen Peng, come with me to assist Madam," Shen Long commanded, then teleported away from Myriad Beasts Island with Shen Peng. By the time they arrived on Golden Leaf Island, the battle had already concluded, with Chu Buyu and the others unharmed.

"Madam, are you alright?" Shen Long asked.

"All intruders have been annihilated. Shen Lin and the others deployed the Combined Attack Technique, which the enemy couldn’t withstand, capturing the Nascent Souls of five individuals. By the way, Sun Xuan was merely an illusion conjured by a talisman. Myriad Beasts Island is safe, I trust?" Chu Buyu responded.

Shen Lin, Shen Jiu, and others employed the Combined Attack Technique against their enemies, rendering Lin Sheng and his companions completely incapable of resistance. As they attempted to flee, Shen Mei and Shen Ying interfered. Furthermore, Chu Buyu’s Immortal Puppets posed significant issues for the invaders.

The enemy group was primarily novice practitioners of Laws; one was True Immortal Late Stage, while the rest were True Immortal Middle Stage.

They brought along a Second Rank Immortal Talisman, managed to breach the Formation, and destroyed five First Rank Immortal Puppets—nothing else. Shen Zhan disrupted their Immortal Artifacts, while Shen Mei and Shen Ying obstructed their casting of spells.

If Shen Mei and Shen Ying mastered the Illusionary Law and Dream Law, they would’ve easily obliterated the invaders. Unfortunately, such Special Laws are notoriously difficult to comprehend.

"They’re unharmed. Qin Xue had no idea of our true strength," Shen Long said.

"Husband, the treasure vault of the Mysterious Spirit Sect holds four First Grade Dao Pills. One contains the Dream Law, which they obtained from an Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling but remain unable to comprehend. For now, it’s secured within their treasure vault," Chu Buyu added.

Shen Jiu consumed the Nascent Soul of a True Immortal Cultivator, unveiling numerous secrets about the Mysterious Spirit Sect.

"Excellent. We shall eradicate the Mysterious Spirit Sect," Shen Long decided, leaving Shen Lang and six other True Immortals to guard Golden Leaf Island and Myriad Beasts Island. He set out with Chu Buyu to assault Mysterious Spirit Island.

True revenge leaves no loose ends. Since the Mysterious Spirit Sect targeted the Myriad Beasts Sect, there’s no reason to show mercy.

Although revealing the Myriad Beasts Sect’s true strength was risky, Shen Long had no other choice under these circumstances.

The Mysterious Spirit Sect had lost thirteen True Immortal Cultivators. They would not let the matter rest, recuperating and inevitably retaliating against the Myriad Beasts Sect.

Taking advantage of their severely weakened state, Shen Long aimed to eradicate them entirely.

······

Xuanyan Island, Wei Family.

In Xuan Yan Garden, Wei Chengyang sat within a Green Stone Pavilion alongside a voluptuous woman dressed in a green gown. Nearby, Wei Silai and Wei Siyuan were providing their report.

"Ziyang Sect’s offensive is overwhelming. So far, we’ve lost over fifty True Immortal Cultivators. The Qian Family has been annihilated, and several subsidiary forces are gravely injured. Likely, Tianyue Sect has issued an imperative, driving Ziyang Sect’s frenzy," Wei Siyuan reported.

"The Heavenly Ghost Sect insists we counterattack with full force—they speak easily since it’s not their lives at stake," the green-gowned woman said, frowning.

Wei Yutong, Mid-Stage Golden Immortal.

"There’s no alternative. We mustn’t disobey orders. If we don’t act, our losses will be even greater. Let’s head to the front line and try to kill or injure a Golden Immortal Cultivator from Ziyang Sect. Perhaps this will compel them to retreat," Wei Chengyang said solemnly.

"What happened? Why is Ziyang Sect targeting us?"

A booming male voice resonated.

Before the echo faded, a burly man in a green robe strode in, gleaming with sharp eyes and exuding powerful killing intent.

"Oh? Chengbo, you’ve emerged from seclusion. You didn’t ascend to Late Stage Golden Immortal yet?" Wei Chengyang greeted him with a mix of joy and concern.

The green-robed man was Wei Chengbo, a Mid-Stage Golden Immortal with formidable power.

"I just came out of seclusion and heard about Ziyang Sect’s invasion. I’m stuck at a bottleneck; otherwise, I would’ve ascended to Late Stage Golden Immortal. Fighting Ziyang Sect’s Golden Immortals might help me break through," Wei Chengbo responded.

"We’ll lead a team to the front lines. Those remaining here must guard Xuanyan Island. If powerful enemies arrive, call for Yu Long and Tian Kuang to emerge from seclusion," Wei Yutong ordered.

Xuanyan Island housed five Golden Immortal Cultivators, with two currently away.

"Yes, Old Ancestor Yutong," Wei Siyuan answered with utmost respect.

Wei Yutong and three Golden Immortal Cultivators led the team away from Xuanyan Island, heading to the front lines.
