Amidst the curtain of rain, a pair of eyes hundreds of ters wide gazed down calmly upon the entire city.
Their might was unfathomable, their presence imasurable. From an unknown, vast distance, high above the profound Celestial Vault, they quietly cast their gaze down upon the entire city.
anwhile, figure after figure clad in black robes flooded into East Sea City from all directions. So held scythes and greatswords, while others carried rifles and cannons. A mix of Cultivators and technology advanced on the city.
"For... our Lord!"
A Cultist at the Celestial Human Level roared fanatically. His Spiritual Will manifested externally, blazing like a Great Sun, and his aura swept out, freezing the nearby raindrops in midair.
They continued their advance, starting from the Lower City District, moving forward ticulously, step by step.
Although sirens wailed without end and City Hall had already begun evacuating people to the city center, East Sea City was ho to tens of millions. More than half of them were residents of the Lower City District.
Even if only one in a hundred failed to make it to the city center in ti, hundreds of thousands of people were still left behind in the Lower City District.
Heads rolled and rivers of blood flowed. A million were already dead!
Above the shantytowns, two hovering battleships turned. One tried to flee, while the other opened fire on the cultists, strafing them relentlessly.
BOOM!
One of the Celestial Human-level Cultists made his move, tyrannically swatting the two hovering battleships out of the sky. The brilliant explosions were quickly extinguished by the torrential downpour.
"For our Lord!" the Cultists roared once more.
...
「Inside the great tomb.」
The youth held the [Copper Guard Order] in one hand and the [Keeper of the Records’ Order] in the other, a broad smile on his face.
Hou Wushu frowned. Before he could speak, the Earth Immortal from Sakata Heavy Industries scoffed coldly.
"You dare—"
Lu Xuan blinked and said with the utmost seriousness, "Don’t talk. I was just thinking... it might be a bit of a waste to use this on you."
The three Earth Immortals were stunned for a mont, and the crowd watching from a distance was equally taken aback.
"But then I reconsidered," Lu Xuan said, his smile slowly fading. "If I couldn’t beat you, I’d let it go. But now that I can... well, it would be impolite to let you live, wouldn’t it?"
Kong Jisheng’s expression darkened. ’Has this kid lost his mind?’
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the two Tokens in the youth’s hands. He then took an almost imperceptible step back.
In the distance, Wang Zhiyao and the others exchanged bewildered glances as an incredible thought surfaced in their minds.
’This Wu Xiaoxu... he wants to fight an Earth Immortal to the death?’
A Celestial Human’s expression flickered. A chill shot down Zhong Wuhe’s spine. But then, they recalled the youth’s previous actions and deanor.
’Would this kid really act so recklessly? Would he really do sothing he wasn’t sure he could pull off?’
’Could it be...’
As everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Lu Xuan casually weighed the [Keeper of the Records’ Order] in his hand. The Token had lain in the great tomb for countless years and was covered in a dense web of cracks.
Unlike the one from his dream, which had been safely stored in the Guardian Storage Room, he couldn’t sense how many uses this one had left. The feeling it gave off was vague and chaotic, as if it were changing from mont to mont.
But...
’As long as I’m sure it can be used, that’s all that matters.’
"Token, activate," the youth said calmly.
Hou Wushu and the Earth Immortal from Sakata Heavy Industries both sensed that sothing was wrong. They stopped talking and grew wary.
A towering aura of Vast Qi also materialized around Kong Jisheng as he assud a defensive posture.
The next second, as everyone stared, the Token in the youth’s hand began to tremble and glow.
Within the brilliant light, the youth in the Golden Long Robe began to transform. His jet-black hair turned white, strand by strand, and his face grew old along with it.
In just a few monts, he transford from a boy of fifteen or sixteen into a white-haired, world-weary old man on the brink of death!
It wasn’t just his face. Even ’Wu Xiaoxu’s’ body began to radiate a profound aura of the Years, carrying with it a sense of ancient, sweeping change!
The scene unfolded too quickly, too shockingly. Wang Zhiyao and the others could only stare wide-eyed, while alarm bells scread in the minds of the three Earth Immortals. ’This is bad!’
The Earth Immortal from Sakata Heavy Industries’ expression changed. With a cold snort, he attacked without hesitation, striking out with tyrannical force. The might of an Earth Immortal rocked the tomb chamber!
"Fall back!" the Qingxin Temple Master shouted decisively. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept up the young prodigies and sent them flying back. The other dozen or so Celestial Humans also snapped to their senses and began to retreat.
No matter what was happening, no matter why ’Wu Xiaoxu’ had suddenly transford into a dying old man, one thing was certain: a massive battle was about to erupt.
Since Wu Xiaoxu was so confident, he had to be capable of wielding the might of an Earth Immortal. A clash between four beings at the Earth Immortal Level was not sothing they could watch from up close. Even a single aftershock would be enough to kill them all instantly!
The Earth Immortal realm represented a major transformation. In Ancient Tis, it was known as Ascension to Immortality, after which one could serve as an official in the Celestial Court. Whether one was Climbing the Divine Ladder or building a Jade Tower, the gap to the Earth Immortal realm was similarly imnse.
To put it in perspective, if the Jade Tower stage was a one, and the Celestial Human stage was a ten, then the Earth Immortal stage was at least a one thousand!
As the crowd of Celestial Humans and prodigies retreated through the Heaven-Reaching Gate, exiting the tomb chamber, the palm of the Sakata Heavy Industries Earth Immortal ca crashing down. Imbued with imnse power, it landed squarely on the old man’s head.
THUD!
With the muffled impact, ripples of force spread out, creating a terrifying shockwave that shook the tomb chamber. Even though the crowd outside had closed the Heaven-Reaching Gate, they still heard the violent tremor!
Back inside the tomb chamber, the old man had taken a full-force blow from an Earth Immortal, yet he hadn’t swayed in the slightest. Even his full head of white hair remained undisturbed, fluttering gently in the breeze.
