Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 658 - 658 677 At Wit's End

658: Chapter 677: At Wit’s End 658: Chapter 677: At Wit’s End Disgrace, a monumental disgrace!

The great catastrophe of the Heavenly Court, with a formidable enemy attacking.

The immortals dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

This was the current state of the Heavenly Court, because no one could subdue Da Yi, which also reflected that despite its surface prosperity, compared to other Daoist sects, its foundation was still far too weak.

Looking across the various major Daoist sects of the Heaven, Earth, and human realms, although the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven under Ye Xuan’s leadership appeared overwhelmingly powerful, as soon as Ye Xuan was absent from the Heavenly Court, its weaknesses were laid bare.

High-level combat power, presiding over one’s domain.

Without a Quasi-Saint in residence, the Heavenly Court was like rootless duckweed, merely an illusion that could cause the Heavenly Court to shatter at any moment.

This had to be seen as a major crisis for the Heavenly Court.

“Da Yi, you’ve gone too far.”

Suddenly, a voice of reproach sounded, as a tall figure entered the Lingxiao Palace.

The Five-Colored Divine Light rippling through the void was majestic and terrifying, creating an extreme sense of horror.

“Who do I think it is…

it turns out to be you, Kong Xuan.” Da Yi, sitting upon the Heavenly Emperor’s throne, looked directly at the newcomer.

When he saw the Five-Colored Divine Light behind Kong Xuan, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Get down!”

Kong Xuan didn’t bother with any idle talk.

As he threw his punch, the Five-Colored Divine Light shattered the heavens and the earth, furiously striking towards Da Yi.

“Are you seeking death?” Da Yi threw out a palm strike, aiming to slam it down on Kong Xuan.

Boom!

A sky-shattering explosion occurred, and the Lingxiao Palace violently shook.

The two clashed with terrifying force that erupted in all directions, causing the entire Lingxiao Palace to tremble as if on the verge of collapse.

“The Witch Clan’s Quasi-Saint is nothing special after all.”

Kong Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, clashing with Da Yi had wounded him, but he sneered with contemptuous laughter.

A fierce light shone in his eyes as he looked at Da Yi.

“Kong Xuan, you are, since the Sky Opening epoch, the first Five-Colored Peacock and moreover blessed with significant fortune.

I do not wish to kill you—stand down.”

Da Yi’s brow furrowed, clearly he had held back earlier.

It was not that he didn’t want to kill Kong Xuan, but in this world, there were always some people who were blessed with significant fortune.

Kong Xuan was one such person, and killing him would inevitably lead to great trouble.

“Ye Xuan is my brother.

If you dare to attack and I stand by and do nothing, wouldn’t that chill the heart of my brother?”

Kong Xuan strode forward, the Five-Colored Divine Light surging fiercely.

His pupils gradually turned blood red, and an obscure and explosive aura burst forth.

“If you want to die, I shall oblige you.” Da Yi’s face turned cold; he had already offered his advice to Kong Xuan, but that did not mean he feared him.

Roar!

The earth-shattering, fierce roar filled the sky.

Under the tense gaze of the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden and others, Kong Xuan’s Five-Colored Divine Light tore through the void, revealing his true Five-Colored Peacock form.

His sharp claws, fiercely targeting Da Yi, lunged down.

“You truly are ignorant.”

Da Yi rose explosively, stepping forward as space itself collapsed.

His bronze flesh was like cast Vajra Glaze, his palms like Ancient Divine Mountains, ferociously smashing down towards Kong Xuan.

Bang, bang, bang!

The Thirty-Three Layered Heaven trembled, the endless void collapsing thunderously.

Though the Lingxiao Palace was vast and reinforced by Arrays, it couldn’t withstand the battle between the two—it was now inch by inch crumbling, on the brink of collapse.

Boom, boom, boom!

Lingxiao Palace eventually collapsed, and as dust filled the air, a thunderous roar was heard.

Kong Xuan and Da Yi violently separated, both standing still amidst the void.

“Pu!”

The Five-Colored Peacock reverted to human form, as blood spurted continuously from Kong Xuan’s mouth.

His physical body cracked like a spider’s web, half of his body already blasted to nonexistence.

His tragic state was unbearable to witness.

“The Five-Colored Divine Light is indeed powerful,” said Da Yi, utterly indifferent.

“Too bad you’re only at the Daluo Peak.

Had you stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm, perhaps you could have fought me.

It’s a pity that with your current cultivation level, it would only take me a flick of the wrist to kill you.”

Amidst the Heavenly Vault, Da Yi, with his hands clasped behind his back, looked towards Kong Xuan with eyes brimming with cold detachment, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance.

“Kong Xuan!”

Suddenly, Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden let out a trembling roar, her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes filled with despair.

At that moment!

The Five-Colored Divine Light radiating from Kong Xuan’s body was slowly fading, and the blood flowing from his mouth was unstoppable.

He glared fiercely at Da Yi ahead, his blood-thirsty eyes flashing continuously.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Suddenly, Kong Xuan’s eyes dimmed, and he fainted completely, his broken body falling downward.

Evidently, his forceful battle with Da Yi had left him critically wounded and on the verge of death.

“Master!”

A yellow sparrow flapped its wings furiously, rapidly transforming into a maid of tender years, barely catching Kong Xuan, and fled downwards without looking back.

“Had you not been the first Five-Colored Peacock since the Sky Opening, I would have scattered your soul today,” Da Yi said, not bothering to pursue as the yellow sparrow girl carried Kong Xuan away.

Oppressive, heavy, silent.

Even the strongest, Kong Xuan, was critically injured and dying.

No one in the Heavenly Court could stand against Da Yi, plunging the group of immortals into silent despair.

“Spread my dharma decree across the Three Realms,” commanded Da Yi.

“If Ye Xuan does not return to the Heavenly Court within one day, I shall kill one of his ministers.” With a swipe of his palm, a Patrol Angel exploded and perished between Heaven and Earth.

This was a Daluo Golden Immortal, and Da Yi’s words were not empty threats; his intent was to kill one person each day until Ye Xuan returned to the Heavenly Court.

As news of the great calamity spread across the Heavenly Court and mighty enemies approached, the entire Three Realms turned their attention to the unfolding situation, with countless people seeking Ye Xuan’s whereabouts.

…

Wuzhuang Temple, Longevity Mountain

Emperor Ziwei was kneeling under the Ginseng Fruit Tree, while Immortal Zhen Yuan, holding a horsetail whisk, continued his seated cultivation, seemingly unresponsive from start to finish.

“Master, only you can save the Heavenly Court now,” pleaded Emperor Ziwei, bowing repeatedly with beseeching eyes.

“I beseech you to subdue Da Yi; your disciple kowtows to you.”

“Sigh.”

A gentle sigh escaped from Immortal Zhen Yuan’s mouth.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Emperor Ziwei with a calm expression.

“The Witch Clan is about to emerge, the Ancient Demon Court is reappearing in the world, and a great calamity is upon us once again.

If I, your master, interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Court, I fear I will be drawn into this great disaster.”

Hearing Immortal Zhen Yuan’s words, Emperor Ziwei’s face turned pale.

He continued to kowtow, his voice filled with sorrow.

“Master, if even you won’t take action to resolve this calamity for the Heavenly Court, who else can stand against Da Yi?

The Heavenly Court might be doomed.”

“Life and Death Reincarnation, the immutable law of all things, is the unwavering rule between Heaven and Earth.

Even if I were to subdue Da Yi, it would only solve the Heavenly Court’s immediate crisis.

If another Quasi-Saint attacks the Heavenly Court, should I remain seated there forever?” Immortal Zhen Yuan said, his brow slightly furrowed.

“But…

But…”
