Immortal of the Nine Realms

Fairy Yu was covered in injuries. There was not a single piece of flesh on her left unscathed. She was soaked in blood, and there was a terrifying piercing wound on her chest. Fang Chen could even see her internal organs pulsating within.

If a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator had sustained the same degree of injury as her, they would’ve long died.

Fang Chen looked down at her, one eye gray-white with golden veins, while the other emitting a faintly eerie blue light.

Sensing something, Fairy Yu weakly opened her eyes, and Fang Chen’s blurry face came into her view.

”My... lord?”

”It’s me. Your injuries are severe, so rest well for now.”

Fortunately, Fairy Yu had consumed the lifespan of many cultivators lately, and her Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo possessed incredible recovery abilities, allowing her to cling to her last breath.

Knowing that Fang Chen had awakened, Fairy Yu breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes before sinking into slumber.

Just as Fang Chen was about to rise after gently laying Fairy Yu down on the floor, the young man from the Great Expansion Dao Sect opened his mouth and spoke. ”She used her life to buy you time. Do you think you can deal with us alone?

Pausing for a moment, his tone became laced with mockery. ”I’m curious to see why she was so confident you would be able to deal with us.”

Fang Chen slowly raised his head and looked toward the young man.

It was also at this moment that everyone noticed the uniqueness of Fang Chen’s eyes. One of his eyes had golden veins running through it, while the other emitted a strange blue light.

Zi Yun frowned slightly. ”Eye arts?”

The Innate Dao Sect disciple was surprised. ”He has cultivated two kinds of eye techniques? Strange, eye technique inheritances are extremely rare even in the Central Continent. My sect only masters one of the three thousand eye techniques... Eight or nine out of ten eye techniques have long been lost for many years...”

Even the child riding the ox was shocked. ”Even I haven’t received the inheritance of eye techniques. How can a countryside Immortal Seedling have such a fortune?”

The young man’s right eye showed cold mockery. ”He might be from the countryside, but he may not necessarily be at the level of an Immortal Seedling. We will only know after a fight.”

He raised his hand and lightly waved, sending another Fighting Divine Whip toward Fang Chen.

His target wasn’t just Fang Chen, he was also aiming for Fairy Yu as well.

The invisible Fighting Divine Whip carried immense force. Just as it was about to land on Fang Chen, he raised his hand lightly. The whip struck Fang Chen’s forearm, but it seemed to have been hit with a huge backlash. Like an egg hitting a wall, it shattered on impact.

Fang Chen didn’t move a step from his place, as if he was not even affected by the force of the whip.

Everyone was shocked.

The child riding the ox took a cold breath and looked at Fang Chen with disbelief and incredulity. Even they would find it challenging to deal with the Great Expansion Dao Sect’s Fighting Divine Whip, yet Fang Chen had dealt with it casually. He didn’t use spiritual energy at all and simply blocked it with his physical body.

The young man was slightly startled as his face immediately darkened. He swung his sleeve again, sending another Fighting Divine Whip attacking. However, the result was the same as before. Fang Chen simply raised his hand lightly, and the Fighting Divine Whip shattered.

The child riding the ox instinctively looked toward the cultivator from the Innate Dao Sect. ”This guy is a body-refining cultivator?!”

”No, a body-refining cultivator can’t have a physique this strong. Even if he is, it’s impossible to rely solely on the physical body to block the attacks of an Immortal Seedling.” The cultivator from the Great Expansion Dao Sect said with a serious expression. ”No wonder the demoness wanted to delay time. This person’s methods are quite strange. Everyone, be careful.”

As they spoke, Fang Chen blocked more than a dozen Fighting Divine Whip attacks from the young man one by one.

Face turning extremely dark, the young man from the Great Expansion Dao Sect looked at the Innate Dao Sect disciple. ”Why are you so cautious? I haven’t even exerted my full strength yet.”

With that, the cultivator from Great Expansion Dao Sect slowly opened his tightly closed left eye, revealing a dusk-like sunset inside. At that moment, the sunlight in the world seemed to disappear, and the sky became extremely dim.

The spiritual energy around visibly depleted at a rapid rate. However, upon careful observation, one would notice that this spiritual energy wasn’t truly disappearing but flowing into the young man’s body.

Normally, if there was a loss of spiritual energy in the world, it would replenish continuously. However, after he opened his left eye, there was no new spiritual energy emerging in the area. That would make it impossible for cultivators to access the elemental energy of the world. Once the spiritual energy in their bodies was depleted, they would become completely crippled.

”The Immortal Twilight Eyes of the Great Expansion Dao Sect is indeed formidable. Now, Daoist Xu has established himself as invincible,” Zi Yun said softly.

The child riding the ox and others nodded subconsciously. They couldn’t help but admit that the characteristics of the Immortal Twilight Eyes were effective against all cultivators.

When Mirror of the Universe saw this, it became excited. ”Brother, his left eye is the Twilight Eye. Your second-stage Radiant Divine Eyes has found its match!”

Fang Chen melded into the shadows and reappeared beside the young man. With a wave of his hand, he severed the young man’s head. Then, in front of everyone, he reached out and dug out his left eye.

With the head severed, the headless body fell heavily to the ground.

The dim sky around returned to normal, and the spiritual energy that had disappeared surged back. However, the young man did not immediately die. As a Golden Core Realm cultivator and an Immortal Seedling, his vitality was extremely tenacious.

In the instant his head was cut off, his eyes became incredibly blank, watching Fang Chen reach out and dig out his left eye. It was only then that he vaguely realized that he had been beheaded by his opponent.

He only managed a few words, his voice hoarse. ”Spare... my life...”

Zi Yun and the others seemed to be struck by lightning as they stared blankly at the scene before them. They couldn’t understand why the person who should have been in the lead was suddenly beheaded.

The child riding the ox spoke instinctively. ”Daoist Zi, didn’t you say that Daoist Xu stood invincible?”

Zi Yun’s face was dark. She hadn’t expected that the Immortal Seedling of the Great Expansion Dao Sect would be instantly killed.

Fang Chen’s gaze was indifferent. Lightly exerting force in his hand, he crushed the young man’s head. Not only that, a sword light swept toward the body, and in the blink of an eye, the young man’s body was divided into evenly distributed fragments.

If they were weighed, there probably wouldn’t be much error.

The child riding the ox looked terrified. ”Are you... are you at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator or the Golden Core Realm?”

As an Immortal Seedling, he had never imagined that one day, they would be effortlessly slaughtered like chickens.

Fang Chen didn’t answer him.

In the next moment, both Zi Yun and the cultivator from the Innate Dao Sect made a move. They each struck a sword to where Fairy Yu lay and then turned to flee.

Their judgment was very accurate. If the opponent could easily kill the Immortal Candidate of the Great Expansion Dao Gate, he could kill them easily too. Even if they teamed up, it would be meaningless. None of them were willing to die at the cost of giving the others a chance at victory.

The child on the ox was stunned. These guys are actually abandoning me?

Fang Chen handled their attacks with just one sword strike and then made no further moves. However, the sky around them suddenly rumbled.

In the next moment, a copper wall reinforced with tons of metal energy rose into existence out of nowhere, enveloping the area for miles around, like a metallic prison sealing off their escape routes. Seeing that, the two instinctively unleashed their most powerful attack methods, attempting to break through the metallic prison. However, their assaults only caused the wall to let out resounding booms but didn’t manage to break it.

”Since you’re already here, don’t think about leaving.”

This was the first thing Fang Chen had said to them since opening his eyes.
