Chapter 2886 - 581: Arrival at Ping’an City

At this moment, this world was interwoven with time and space, with time ripples weaving through space like silver waves, while spatial fractures fluttered like colorful ribbons, unpredictable in their changes.

However, he continued to deploy his defenses, while the opposing force did not cease, as even more terrifying dark qi surged forth.

The vast dark qi attacked like boundless darkness, once again piercing through his defenses.

This time, the dark qi came too swiftly.

Cao Zhen didn’t even have time to cast another defense before the dark qi descended, instantly shattering his Protective Body Divine Light and striking his body.

In that instant, his chest exploded violently, and his robe was quickly dyed red with fresh blood.

The dark qi corroded him, rapidly eroding his flesh.

But in the next moment, lights of reincarnation spun, and Cao Zhen’s injuries rapidly healed, as he swiftly flew backward.

With the overlap of space, his figure instantly appeared in the distance. Although his figure disappeared, his voice remained.

"A Daluo Golden Immortal is no more than this."

"Damn!" Immortal Lord Qiong E’s face turned ashen, as a mere Taichi Golden Immortal managed to escape right in front of him.

"The Void Reincarnation Path—that’s too practiced control over the void. Unless he can be trapped, or instantly crippled, that cultivator will certainly escape using the Void Reincarnation Path."

Immortal Lord Qiong E glanced toward Peace City but did not pursue.

The opponent hadn’t left long ago, yet he could likely take a companion with him, using the Void Reincarnation Path to leave.

He probably wouldn’t catch up with them.

Immortal Lord Shi Wang hadn’t flown far when suddenly the void fluctuated beside him, and a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

"Immortal Lord Bai Feng."

Immortal Lord Shi Wang looked at the figure that appeared beside him with astonishment, completely flabbergasted: "You... you escaped from him so quickly, got rid of a Daluo Golden Immortal and flew here. Huh? No, you’re injured."

"I’ve sustained some injuries, but they’re not serious. That guy might pursue, I’ll take you away."

Cao Zhen spoke as he directly grabbed Immortal Lord Shi Wang, utilizing the Void Reincarnation Path, and flew rapidly ahead.

His injuries were indeed not particularly severe, mainly because of his suddenly stronger flesh.

If it were an ordinary Golden Immortal Realm being hit by a Daluo Golden Immortal, they would lose combat capability even if they didn’t perish.

Quickly, he realized that Immortal Lord Shi Wang’s words were correct—indeed, the two of them were highly compatible.

In deploying the Void Reincarnation, Immortal Lord Shi Wang shrouded both of them with Time Reincarnation Qi, slowing the flow of time around them, thereby accelerating their flight speed.

Immortal Lord Shi Wang, seeing the void speeding past, was filled with surprise—escaping so quickly from a Daluo Golden Immortal, even when injured, is something no ordinary Taichi Golden Immortal could achieve, he certainly couldn’t.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have considered leaving the Peace Command to another first.

This Immortal Lord Bai Feng, when rescuing him earlier, hadn’t exerted full effort—among Taichi Golden Immortals, he indeed appeared exceptionally strong.

Moreover, being so adept at fleeing, his chance of survival would drastically increase if staying with him.

No matter what, he had to find a way to join forces with him, go wherever he went.

In their rapid flight, Cao Zhen and his companion journeyed for the time it takes one incense stick to burn, until they finally saw a city.

On a desolate land stood a massive and eerie city. From afar, it looked like an isolated dark fortress.

Because of the lack of water sources, this city wasn’t surrounded by a moat.

The city lacked towering constructions; the city walls weren’t tall, covered in what seemed like embedded black demon shadows, casting the entire city into shade.

Despite the absence of light, the city possessed a breathtaking magnificence, like a giant beast standing on the land, emitting a mysterious and eerie aura.

Floating ghosts swayed upon the city walls.

Their faces were twisted and terrifying, emitting a pale glow. Their eyes were hollow, as if they’ve lost all traces of humanity. Some ghosts wore shattered helmets, revealing empty eye sockets.

Among them, the leading ghost wore ancient armor, like a warrior of the underworld.

Above the city gate, on the city wall, were three large characters—Land Blast City.

"This is Peace City."

Despite feeling the speed during their flight, Immortal Lord Shi Wang’s heart remained tense, fearing any danger or unforeseen events.

Upon seeing the city, he relaxed.

After Cao Zhen landed and halted at the city gates, he proactively took out two Peace Commands and handed them to a nearby ghost wearing tattered armor, while pointing to himself and Cao Zhen: "These are for the two of us."

If not for Immortal Lord Bai Feng, he might have handed all his treasures over to Immortal Lord Qiong E.

What’s more, he wished to continue alongside Immortal Lord Bai Feng, so lending a hand with the entry fee was trivial.

The ghost accepted the Peace Commands, nodded slightly, and stepped aside.

Immortal Lord Shi Wang swiftly pulled Cao Zhen forward, leading him into Peace City.

As soon as Cao Zhen stepped into Peace City, his expression immediately changed as he could no longer sense immortal qi.

His internal immortal qi was completely sealed.

It wasn’t his first time experiencing such a situation; he had faced it on the Outer Heaven Battlefield.

However, this time, he felt an even stronger connection with this world, and as this connection grew tighter, he sensed something.

His body seemed shackled, preventing him from freely traversing the void.

Previously, he dared to confront a Daluo Golden Immortal because of his final trump card, even if unable to defeat the opponent, he could traverse the void to flee.

But now, he felt he had lost such ability.

Even with restored immortal qi, he might have lost such capability.

Looking at the black slate beneath him and the Peace City, indistinguishable from any large human city, his expression grew heavy.
