Chapter 457 - 432: The Gathering of the Immortals Landing

The Eastern Sea Region of Da Wu, a massive warship sailed from the boundless sea.

Aboard the warship, towering figures stood erect.

These figures were not of the Human Clan, but of the Beast Clan.

There were two species in total.

One was a kind of elephant, pure white as jade all over, about ten meters in height.

The other was a type of ox around five meters tall, with a body length of over ten meters. Its eyes were purple and its fur black, with two horns like curved sabers.

White Jade Elephants and Purple Eye Celestial Oxen.

Twenty-five heads in total.

Each exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

If Lu Yan were here, he would surely be shocked, for these were of the Immortal Clan, shrouded in immortal power.

Before one of the Purple Eye Celestial Oxen, a Soul Plate floated.

"Eh, something’s wrong, the Soul Plate has suddenly lost its sense of the Three Emperors Command."

Spoke the Purple Eye Celestial Ox.

"Lost its sense of the Three Emperors Command, what’s going on? Could it be that someone has erased the soul aura from the Three Emperors Command?"

A particularly majestic White Jade Elephant said.

"I don’t know."

The Purple Eye Celestial Ox shook its head.

"Not far ahead is a continent where the Three Emperors Command should be located. Let’s go up there and look for it."

Declared the White Jade Elephant.

Soon, the warship approached the shore, where twenty-five White Jade Elephants and Purple Eye Celestial Oxen leaped into the air, rushing towards the land.

The warship quickly shrank and was taken by the largest White Jade Elephant.

"Eh, this continent has the aura of our clan."

The leading Purple Eye Celestial Ox exclaimed softly upon landing on shore.

"Indeed, the aura of our clan is present... This continent must have evolved from the death of a creator realm powerhouse. It’s normal for our clan to have proliferated here, yet there’s no will of the world. Could it be that our clan slaughtered them?"

The leading White Jade Elephant, releasing its Spiritual Sense and blending with the heavens and earth, said.

"Nearby, there is an area where our clan’s aura is particularly rich. Let’s go take a look."

The leading Purple Eye Celestial Ox suggested.

Swish swish swish...

Twenty-five immortal clan powerhouses tore through the sky, and before long, they arrived at what was once the Red Flame Immortal Ruins.

Hovering above, their Spiritual Senses swept around, their expressions growing somber.

"This place indeed once housed our clan, but their strength was not great, with no immortals among them. Now, there’s not a single figure in sight. Could some catastrophe have occurred?"

The leading Purple Eye Celestial Ox remarked.

"Deeper in the continent, there’s another location where our clan resides. Let’s go look there."

Stated the leading White Jade Elephant.

Subsequently, they visited the Nanmang Immortal Ruins, Purple Wing Immortal Ruins, Golden Sun Immortal Ruins...

But all were empty, without a shadow of the Immortal Clan to be found.

"Something drastic must have happened to this continent. Could it be that our clan was erased by the will of the world? Perished together?"

The White Jade Elephant conjectured.

The leading Purple Eye Celestial Ox nodded.

It was not an impossibility.

The Immortal Clan, living parasitically and plundering worlds, indeed faced the backlash of the world’s will.

In some worlds, the Immortal Clan triumphed, destroying the world’s will and plundering the world into a barren wasteland before leaving.

However, there were also worlds where the Immortal Clan was annihilated by the world’s will.

"Perhaps there are still remnants of our clan. Let’s continue searching."

The Purple Eye Celestial Ox said.

Three days later.

In the barren mountain range of the far north, twenty-five towering figures suddenly appeared.

"Come out now."

The leading White Jade Elephant, with a snort, unleashed a terrible surge of energy that slammed into the mountain range below.

The mountain range exploded with a thunderous roar, and two lizard-like creatures flew out from underground in a panic, screaming, "Spare us..."

"Eh, it’s the aura of our clan, our clan’s powerhouses."

The two lizards began with trepidation, but upon sensing the aura of the White Jade Elephants and Purple Eye Celestial Oxen, they were overjoyed. They hurried over to pay their respects, "Juniors, we greet our senior predecessors."

"Primordial Spirit Fourth Turn."

The twenty-five White Jade Elephants and Purple Eye Celestial Oxen clearly discerned the lizards’ cultivation levels.

"Why are you hiding underground? Where are the others of our clan?"

The leading White Jade Elephant inquired.

"Predecessor, did you come from overseas?"

One of the red lizards cautiously asked.

"Correct, we come from the Desolate Land."

The leading White Jade Elephant replied.

"Predecessors, you must seek justice for us. All our clan members are dead, and the Immortal Lords have disappeared. It must be that Lu Yan’s work. He even sent people to hunt us everywhere. We had no choice but to hide underground..."

the red lizard recounted the Immortal Clan’s developments over the years in brief.

Of course, they were unaware of the battle where Immortal Great Freedom merged all his thoughts. They only knew that the Immortal Lords had suddenly vanished, never to reappear. They assumed this had something to do with Lu Yan.

"He Dao dares to call themselves Immortal Lords... Immortality even calls themselves Immortal Lords, such a small place sure knows how to play."

Many of the White Jade Elephants and Purple Eye Celestial Oxen clicked their tongues in disdain.

"It seems that my guess wasn’t far off. The powerhouses of our clan and the world’s will have almost annihilated each other, leaving only some below He Dao. Yet, in the end, they actually failed to overcome the Human Martial Artists, which is truly disgraceful."

The leading White Jade Elephant huffed coldly.

The two lizards fell silent, not daring even to breathe too loudly.

Because the presence emitted by any of the twenty-five white jade elephants and purple-eyed celestial bulls on the scene was extremely terrifying, the weakest among them was comparable to their Immortal Lord.

"That Lu Yan, who established the Da Wu Emperor Dynasty, the sovereign of this realm, is just right. Let’s go to him and have him help us find Fu Xinli," said the leading purple-eyed celestial bull.

The leading white jade elephant nodded in agreement.

...

In the Da Wu Empire, Palace.

"Such a terrifying presence."

Suddenly, Lu Yan, who was in the midst of cultivation, abruptly looked up, his eyes revealing shock.

He felt multiple terrifying presences rapidly approaching.

Lu Yan immediately rushed out of the Practice Room and saw twenty-five figures standing above the vault of the sky, their dreadful presences enveloping the entire Wangu City.

Ordinary people couldn’t bear this pressure and knelt down in fear.

"Immortals, it’s the aura of the Immortal Clan, so many, how is this possible? Could they be from overseas?" Lu Yan’s thoughts raced.

"Who is Lu Yan? Show yourself," bellowed a purple-eyed celestial bull, its voice thundering like rolling thunder, causing many to cough up blood.

Suddenly, above Wangu City, densely packed runes appeared, forming a large formation that shielded the twenty-five Immortal Lords’ aura from the outside.

A figure emerged in the air.

It was Mr. World.

His face somewhat grim, he surveyed the twenty-five Immortal Lords with a cold voice, "What’s been going on lately? All these overseas creatures are flocking here."

"Immortality."

The leading white jade elephant and purple-eyed celestial bull, upon seeing Mr. World, felt a sudden shock and a grave expression appeared on their faces.

They thought there were no immortals here, but unexpectedly, one appeared.

They knew now how the Immortal Clan had been defeated.

Without immortals among them, facing one, their defeat was sealed.

"It seems my clan’s purge was your ’contribution’?" the leading white jade elephant said, its eyes coldly fixed on Mr. World.

"You could say that," Mr. World replied.

"I am not as skilled, but I wish to learn from your superior methods," said the leader of the white jade elephants as its trunk swung, rapidly enlarging like a colossal pillar pressing down on Mr. World.

Mr. World pushed forward with his hands, countless runes spreading and forming a shield that blocked the trunk.

Then, with him at the center, countless runes spread out, forming a formation that evolved into twelve flaming swords, slashing towards the white jade elephant.

The white jade elephant swiftly enlarged, transforming into a giant thousands of feet high, towering between heaven and earth, casting vast shadows.

Boom!

It stomped a foot down, and the power of the world surged, condensing into a gigantic footprint that shattered the flaming swords wherever it passed.

"Let’s take this fight to the high sky," declared Mr. World as he soared upwards, his fingers dancing and emitting a stream of runes. The range of the formation under his feet kept expanding, enveloping not only the white jade elephant but also including the purple-eyed celestial bull within its grasp.

"If you wish to face two at once, consider it done," roared the leader of the purple-eyed celestial bulls, stepping into the void, following the white jade elephant into the high sky.

Above, intense roars echoed, and one could barely discern the massive figures thrashing about.

Strong presences spread, weighing heavily on everyone’s heart as if a massive stone was pressing down, suffocating them.

The battle did not last long. After a series of thunderous roars, three figures stood in the sky, facing each other.

The white jade elephant and purple-eyed celestial bull were immense in stature, their bodies swirling with immortal power, causing the colors of heaven and earth to shift.

As for Mr. World, he stood upon a Yin Yang Fish, with formation patterns spreading across his body’s surface, flowing like water.

"Who won?" those below, whether the other twenty-three Immortal Clan experts or Lu Yan and others, all held their breath in anticipation.

"Unexpectedly, in this tiny continent, there exists a person so adept in formation patterns. Enlightening. We shall meet again in the future. Let’s go," said the white jade elephant coldly as it began to retreat slowly with the purple-eyed celestial bull. They joined the other twenty-three Immortal Clan experts and headed north together.

"My lord, with such strength, and the two of you together, you still couldn’t defeat him?" inquired a slightly smaller white jade elephant, unable to hold back its question.

"He is at the same cultivation level as us, also in the Immortal First Layer. His mastery of formation patterns is profound and immeasurable. Such a person is most difficult to deal with, unpredictable in his methods. With all his focus on self-defense, the two of us could not defeat him. Of course, if he wanted to deal with us, it wouldn’t be possible either. Continuing the fight would end in a draw at most," the leader of the white jade elephants said.

"Let’s not bother with him for now. Our goal is to find the Three Emperors Command," said the leading purple-eyed celestial bull.

Truth be told, they did not care about the life and death of other immortals on this continent.

If they could easily resolve it, they wouldn’t mind taking care of it, but if not, they wouldn’t take it to heart.

Their ultimate target was always the Three Emperors Command.

Soon, they returned to the north and found the two lizards.

However, to their surprise, there was a green Qilin beside the lizards, with an aura that also seemed to be from the Immortal Clan.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists," the green Qilin said, lifting its two front paws in a salute upon seeing the white jade elephant and purple-eyed celestial bull.

"You..." the leading white jade elephant and purple-eyed celestial bull eyed the green Qilin with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

"You were Immortal Realm before? How have you become so weak?" the leading white jade elephant asked, astonished.

It sensed an immortal aura from the green Qilin.

Despite the immortal aura, its power was too weak; any He Dao could slap it to death with a mere palm.
