Chapter 1535: Chapter 678: Star River First Sect

All around the high altar,

the Blood Sea Association President Lian Hong and the other Cultivators looked at Lin Xuankong and his group as though they were already dead, their expressions icy cold. Only Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue, gazing at Lin Xuankong and the others drawing ever closer, had faces that kept shifting.

In the hearts of Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue at this moment, a hundred emotions surged and tangled.

Toward Lin Xuankong, they were of course both respectful and fearful, both guilty and afraid.

Yet in their eyes, no matter how powerful Lin Xuankong’s strength might be, in the end it could not possibly rival those Six Paths Immortals who had already lived for several thousand, even tens of thousands of years, much less contend against the Six Paths Celestial Court whose influence spread across the cosmos!

—According to the information leaked by that Six Paths Celestial Court Disciple Golden Ridge, the Six Paths Celestial Court had already established courts on over a thousand resource-rich planets, developing continuously over thousands of years, experts as numerous as the clouds, and even possessing many Tier Nine Immortal Venerables... Facing such a colossal behemoth, Night Wolf Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect were like ants. As for Lin Xuankong, in the eyes of Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue, even if his strength was great, he was still far from reaching the Realm of a Tier Nine Immortal Venerable, and even further from being a match for the Six Paths Celestial Court’s multitude of Tier Nine Immortal Venerables!

Thinking of this, Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue each grit their teeth, then stepped forward, moving to meet Lin Xuankong and his companions.

When the two parties drew within about two hundred meters of one another, the white-haired Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue, face carrying a trace of shame, cupped his hands toward Lin Xuankong and the others and spoke:

"Profound Void Immortal Venerable, Immortal Venerable Ding Ye, Sect Leader Liang, do not be rash for the moment—hear me out!

Right now is your final chance to submit to the Star River First Immortal Sect, the Six Paths Celestial Court. As long as you obediently hand over those Fine Jade and Exotic Stones that calm the Heart Spirit which you previously collected, the Star River First Immortal Sect’s Immortals may yet spare your lives. If you continue to resist stubbornly, then I, Zhao, and Sect Leader Bei Zhi will have no choice but to take action against you!"

Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi forced down the shame in her heart, gazed coldly at Lin Xuankong and the others, and said in an icy voice:

"Profound Void Immortal Venerable, this is the last opportunity! Otherwise... Bei Zhi will use the Night Wolf Howling at the Moon Technique you once instructed me in to defeat you, Ding Ye, Liang Di, and the others. I imagine that would make you rather uncomfortable, would it not?"

Lin Xuankong ignored the two, lifting his gaze instead toward Golden Ridge, the Six Paths Celestial Court Disciple atop the high altar. After carefully probing him, a faint look of disappointment could not help but appear on his face.

According to the sensing of his powerful Divine Soul, this Golden Ridge was merely at the Fifth Layer of Transcendence, nearing Perfection! Such a Realm, among the native Cultivators of this planet, could be counted among the very peak experts, yet a Transcendence Fifth Layer nearing Perfection Cultivator of this level truly failed to stir even the slightest interest in him to make a move.

Li Changming, who was usually somewhat talkative, hearing the words of Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue, instead wore a cold sneer, his eyes filled with disdain as he mocked:

"Do you truly think that just because you received a bit of guidance from Profound Void Immortal Venerable and your strength greatly increased, you can now oppose him? The Divine Marvelous Immortal Techniques mastered by Profound Void Immortal Venerable—how could you possibly learn their profundity in three to five days? What he instructed you in was nothing more than a bit of superficial fur!"

Ding Ye at this moment had long since been unable to hold himself back. Facing Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue, who had betrayed his Master, he wished nothing more than to pound them directly into dust. "Elder Sima, there’s no need to waste words on these ingrates who repay kindness with enmity. I, Ding Ye, will first teach these two a lesson on behalf of Master!"

Before his words had even finished, Ding Ye had already accelerated the circulation of the True Qi within his body and strode rapidly toward Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue.

With Lin Xuankong’s formidable Talent augmenting him, combined with Ding Ye’s own exceptional Talent, Ding Ye had already broken through his Realm to the Early Stage of the Third Layer of Transcendence. Though there remained a full major Realm between him and Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue, who were at the Fourth Layer of Transcendence, Ding Ye, who had mastered Divine Marvelous Immortal Techniques, wore a face brimming with battle intent.

Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue clearly did not know that the earth-shaking methods Ding Ye had once displayed at Chaokou Pass all came from the augmentation of Lin Xuankong’s Heaven-Questioning Demon Technique.

Now, seeing this Ding Ye—who had formerly annihilated Ghost Servant Sect Master Ling Yingzi and all her Elders in an instant—charging toward them, Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue exchanged a glance and a signal, then each scattered to one side, lest they once again be wiped out in a single sweep by one of Ding Ye’s powerful Immortal Techniques!

At the same time,

Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue each activated the Core Techniques of their respective Sects.

After being personally instructed several times by Lin Xuankong, the Night Wolf Howling at the Moon Technique and Ancestral Soul Technique now unleashed by Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi and Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue were already utterly different from before!

Night Wolf Sect Leader Bei Zhi let out a long howl, and her body rapidly transformed.

In the blink of an eye she had become a monstrous wolf nearly seven meters tall, her physique incomparably robust.

The fingernails of both her hands suddenly thickened, broadened, and lengthened, turning into ten blades one and a half meters long that flashed with icy light.

As she ran,

her arms spread wide, extending to a full eight meters,

and those ten wolf-claw blades sliced the air until it howled and moaned, their might appearing extremely ferocious!

Ancestral Soul Sect Master Zhao Tianyue’s Ancestral Soul Technique, once activated, was likewise exceedingly fierce,
