Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Irreconcilable Differences

Within the Immortal Palace, pillars tumbled as dust swirled through the corridors like blazing flames.

Before the demonic fetus, a crazed child bearing resemblance to a beggar approached. The surrounding space was pitch-black, the beams of light above illuminating only the demonic fetus. Its surface blood flowed and its meridians pulsed, chilling to the core.

"What strong vitality..."

The crazed child gazed at the demonic fetus, his eyes burning with fervor.

To prevent Patriarch Bodhi from hindering him again, he merely reached out and stabbed into the demonic fetus.

Splat—

He tore off a chunk of the demonic fetus’s flesh and stuffed it into his mouth, savoring it with relish and an expression of bliss as if he had tasted something delicious.

At that moment, the demonic fetus began to tremble violently.

"Yi yi..."

A bizarre cry followed, sounding utterly horrifying in the dim space.

The crazed child, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, still merrily devouring the blood and flesh of the demonic fetus.

Outside the Immortal Palace.

A group of powerful beings was bombarding the Immortal Palace’s celestial mechanism array, their cultivation at least reaching the beginning of Daluo.

Fairy Nansu stood on a cloud, looking towards the Immortal Palace. Her delicate brows furrowed as she murmured, "This aura... why does it seem like a demonic aura?"

The progenies of heaven did not make a move, instead standing on the periphery to watch the battle.

After all, this was Canghua Immortal Venerable’s bedroom, and they as heaven’s chosen represented various forces; they could not afford to completely fall out with Canghua Immortal Venerable.

Most of the daring powerhouses were lone wanderers. After snatching the Heavenly Fetus, they would vanish from the world, only re-emerging after consuming the Heavenly Fetus and comprehending the great dao.

Nobody knew who spread the word that Canghua Immortal Venerable was in seclusion outside and would not return for hundreds of years, which only fueled the ambitions of these powerhouses.

An Ruming also sensed something amiss. Every being who had reached the entry to the Holy Realm detected the demonic aura.

And that demonic aura was expanding at an inconceivable speed.

"Yi ahhhhhh—"

Just then, an extremely sharp cry echoed from deep within the Immortal Palace, like a child screaming at the top of their lungs, sending shivers down the spine of anyone in the Ancient Immortal Realm who heard it.

Qin Jun also winced as his eardrums ached, while Patriarch Bodhi and three others stared intently above.

Boom!

The crazed child brutally broke through a wall of the Immortal Palace, his face smeared with blood—not his own, yet it still looked horrifying.

"Damn it! The audacity of Canghua to harbor such a thing! Insane!" he screamed in terror, causing the surrounding powerhouses to look at him warily. However, he spoke to himself and leaped into the sea of clouds, eager to leave the place as if he could not bear to stay a moment longer.

The Immortal Palace started to shake violently, causing the entire mountain to tremble. The sea of clouds roiled, and thunderclouds pressed down from above, rumbling fiercely as a vast heavenly might permeated the immortal city.

"The demonic fetus is actually starting to hatch, what’s going on?" Patriarch Bodhi frowned, suddenly catching a glimpse of the crazed child fleeing quickly towards the city’s outskirts, and his mouth twitched.

Fuxi calculated with his fingers, his expression growing solemn. "This is a stupendous demonic being; the stars are in trouble!"

Zhao Gongming and Qiang Liang felt confused. Although they did not understand, they could sense an astounding demonic aura growing on Immortal Monarch Peak.

Above the sea of clouds, thunder and lightning cracked violently.

Fairy Nansu’s pet cat, Seven, exclaimed, "Fairy, we must retreat, this demon is too terrifying!"

Not only it, but the other powerhouses also started to panic.

The demonic aura made them breathe rapidly, and soon, some beings could not withstand the pressure and turned to leave.

At that moment, from the direction of the west city gate, the voice of the crazed child cursing angrily reached them, "Canghua you bastard! How dare you trick me!"

As soon as he said this, all the powerhouses turned their heads to look, only to see a purple light barrier rising from the inner wall of the city, stretching into the sea of clouds. Looking out, the entire immortal city was enveloped in a purple light barrier.

The crazed child furiously pounded the purple light barrier with his fists, but unfortunately, he could not break it.

Outside the city, a figure like a god stood atop the statue of a long celestial being. He wore a long robe with a white base and bright, flaming patterns, fluttering in the wind.

It was none other than Canghua Immortal Venerable!

The lord of the Ancient Immortal Realm, a great power in the Manifesting Saint realm!

The face of Canghua Immortal Venerable appeared to be about forty years old, with white eyebrows sharp as knives, piercing eyes, and an aura of absolute indifference exuding from him, as if he were one with heaven and earth.

Looking at the crazed child raging inside the purple curtain, Canghua Immortal Venerable slowly said, "Blame only your own foolishness."

The plan of the Heavenly Fetus was initially not targeted at the crazed child, but who asked him to join in the excitement.

The crazed child was uncontrollably furious, his fists enveloped in rolling white steam, violently pounding the purple curtain.

The powerhouses in front of the Immortal Palace also noticed the arrival of Canghua Immortal Venerable, and they were instantly abuzz.

"Why is Canghua Immortal Venerable here?"

"Is that a magic formation? That’s bad!"

"Wait, could that demonic aura be the Heavenly Fetus? We’ve been duped!"

"Why would the Immortal Venerable do this?"

The powerhouses looked at the purple curtain and whispered in fear, and the faces of the prodigies also looked grim.

They did not expect to be played!

They were the first to know the news of the Heavenly Fetus, not expecting it to be a trap.

What did Canghua Immortal Venerable want to do?

Xu Zixian immediately flew towards Canghua Immortal Venerable. As a prodigy of the Ancient Immortal starfield, he assumed Canghua Immortal Venerable would not trouble him.

Qin Jun and his group of five also noticed the appearance of Canghua Immortal Venerable, whose Manifesting Saint aura was indeed too conspicuous in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

"Your Majesty, should we make a move?"

Patriarch Bodhi asked, pausing for a moment before adding, "Canghua Immortal Venerable is in the early stages of the Manifesting Saint realm. I am absolutely confident I can cause his downfall today!"

Fuxi, Zhao Gongming, and Qiang Liang were secretly shocked. Saying ’absolutely confident’ suggested Patriarch Bodhi’s cultivation was far beyond the early stages of the Manifesting Saint realm.

Could it be the middle period, or even the later stages of power?

Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, "Let’s not panic for now, he can’t escape anyway."

He wanted to see what Canghua Immortal Venerable was up to next.

His hatred for Canghua Immortal Venerable was already irreconcilable. Canghua Immortal Venerable had destroyed his Holy Realm, making him unable to face the White Emperor, and in his previous life, he had also perished, his remnant soul wandering for 130,000 years before being reincarnated.

This hatred was implacable!

Even if Canghua Immortal Venerable was the lord of the Immortal Realm, entrusted with the heavenly mandate.

Qin Jun wanted to kill him at the moment he was most proud, pulling him from the clouds into the endless abyss.

He wanted Canghua Immortal Venerable to taste the pain of wandering in the boundless universe for 130,000 years!

He wanted Canghua Immortal Venerable to regret!

Boom—

The majestic Immortal Monarch Peak suddenly collapsed, a demonic energy like a black volcano erupting, scattering the sea of clouds, striking the purple curtain, causing the surrounding heavenly thunder to crisscross and strike down.

The prodigies hastily retreated, An Ruming’s face solemn. Among the prodigies within the Ancient Immortal Realm, he was definitely the strongest, but feeling that demonic energy, he felt a chill up his spine.

"Lord Immortal Venerable, let me out quickly!"

Xu Zixian arrived in front of the purple curtain, looking down at Canghua Immortal Venerable below and called out, that terrifying demonic aura making his heart pound, feeling that something incredibly terrible was about to happen.

However, Canghua Immortal Venerable was expressionless, ignoring him completely.

"Lord Immortal Venerable!"

Xu Zixian instantly became anxious, sweat beading on his forehead.

No sooner had he spoken than a gust of wind struck his back. He instinctively turned around, only to see the crazed child, his face fierce, appearing behind him.
