As Fang Bai’s startled cry resounded, the thousand-foot-tall Burial Artifact Peak quaked violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
In an instant, countless boulders rolled down from the mountain’s body, crashing into the abyss below.
The black clouds that gathered in the sky, and the restless lightning snakes, also turned wild and frenzied.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
A few breaths later, peals of thunder and serpents of lightning fiercely struck down from the surging black clouds, their target the tens of thousands of Thunder Tribulation experts gathered around the Burial Artifact Peak.
Instantly, the tens of thousands of Thunder Tribulation experts seed to be in a river of thunder and ocean of lightning.
The Thunder Tribulation encountered by experts in the Three Thousand Great Worlds while advancing in rank was nothing compared to the current river of thunder and ocean of lightning.
The thousands of lightning strikes suddenly descending from the sky were overwhelming for the tens of thousands of Thunder Tribulation experts around the Burial Artifact Peak, resulting in most of their bodies being destroyed, and their lifeforce extinguished, perishing on the spot.
And the nearly thousand experts in the Great Calamity Period at the Thunder Tribulation Realm were also heavily injured, their skin torn, bodies covered in blood, losing most of their combat power.
"Rumble..."
Before the fortunate surviving experts could react, the thousand-foot-tall, continuously trembling Burial Artifact Peak seed to have been cleaved apart, collapsing to the sides.
A purple figure shot out from the crevice in the mountain like a flash of lightning, transforming into a purple light and soaring into the air.
The purple light was a purple-robed man, suspended in midair, his entire person shrouded in a mist-like purple aura, obscuring his facial features.
The imnse and vast pressure just now radiated from the purple-robed man, spreading out to cover a thousand miles in all directions.
Burial Artifact Peak lay at the very center of this imnse pressure, bearing the greatest load. The near thousand severely injured, fortunate-to-survive experts of the Thunder Tribulation Realm in the Great Calamity Period held on for less than ten breaths under this pressure before their ridians ruptured, their bones shattered, and they bled from their orifices, dying.
Even Chan Master Lei Yin, Star-Picking Scholars, Wind Pursuit Taoist, and the One-Ard Divine Nun, these four Half-Immortal Rank experts from the Three Thousand Great Worlds, were not spared under this incredible pressure.
The tens of thousands of experts who ca to vie for the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill all perished within rely a dozen or so breaths from when pressure erged within Burial Artifact Peak’s body to when the purple-robed man appeared. Not a single one escaped.
Except for Fang Bai and the other seven.
Prior to the descent of that imnse pressure, Fang Bai had already summoned and enlarged the Five Elents Origin Qi Cauldron from his Five Elents Space Ring, shielding it over everyone’s heads, withstanding what seed an all-crushing pressure.
"This is..."
Fairy Xuanbing, Flood Dragon Venerable, and others hiding under the Five Elents Origin Qi Cauldron stared at the surrounding tens of thousands of bodies and the splitting, collapsing Burial Artifact Peak in shock and horror.
Among them, Fairy Xuanbing and Flood Dragon Venerable, despite their extensive knowledge and experience, had never witnessed such a terrifying scene of mountain collapse and tens of thousands of experts falling instantly.
Under such pressure, tens of thousands lay dead. What kind of celestial being is this purple-robed man, possessing such heaven-penetrating abilities?
For a mont, Flood Dragon Venerable and others looked up at the suspended purple-robed man, feeling chilled to the bone and utterly vacant, unsure of what to do.
The purple-robed man noticed Fang Bai and others still alive, and expressed a surprised "Oh," seemingly quite astonished.
"This cauldron is peculiar! It seems not a mundane object!"
Upon seeing Fang Bai holding up the Five Elents Origin Qi Cauldron, the purple-robed man’s eyes glead with interest as he muttered to himself, then extended his right arm, aiming across the thousand-foot distance at the cauldron in Fang Bai’s hands.
His arm abruptly elongated, instantly piercing through the thousand-foot void. As it neared Fang Bai, his right hand expanded dozens of tis, and with fingers spread like eagle talons, he reached for the Five Elents Origin Qi Cauldron.
The claw he extended was not ford of spiritual energy but a genuine hand of flesh and blood.
The flesh hand could expand and contract at will, capable of retrieving objects from afar. This was a mystical art only an immortal could possess!
"This purple-robed man is indeed not a cultivator of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, but an immortal from the Nine Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm! No wonder I sensed a wisp of immortal power earlier within the body of Burial Artifact Peak!"
Seeing the purple-robed man take action confird Fang Bai’s earlier suspicions, leaving him astounded.
In his thought, after the great conflict among the realms millions of years ago, nurous powerful beings from the Immortal Realm had collaborated to seal the passages between the Immortal Realm and other realms. Even in his past life as a pinnacle Immortal Emperor, he couldn’t break that seal.
Yet, how had this purple-robed immortal co to the Three Thousand Great Worlds?
Could it be that, like the Bixie Immortal Beast, he too was sealed within the Three Thousand Great Worlds during that cataclysmic battle millions of years ago?
Upon seeing the purple-robed immortal, Fang Bai instantly realized that much of the reason for Burial Artifact Peak’s lightning convergence was due to him.
The purple-robed immortal practiced Thunder System immortal arts; thus, he inherently attracted lightning.
Sealed within Burial Artifact Peak, the purple-robed immortal used the mountain’s Thunder Spirit Stone Veins to restore so of his immortal power, then absorbed the thunder and lightning forces from heaven and earth, expediting the unsealing process.
Finally, today, the seal within his body was undone, allowing him to burst through the mountain and erge.
Judging by his current state, it seed his seal was completely lifted, and over half of his immortal power was restored, otherwise, he couldn’t have made tens of thousands of Thunder Tribulation experts fall just through coercion.
Fang Bai didn’t recognize who that purple-robed immortal was, nor did he care to know.
His current foremost desire was to swiftly escape from this place.
Upon the purple-robed immortal’s ergence, tens of thousands of experts perished, indicating his exceedingly murderous nature. Even if he didn’t intend to kill Fang Bai, his attempt to seize Fang Bai’s Five Elents Origin Qi Cauldron was sothing Fang Bai couldn’t allow.
"Escape!"
Seeing the purple-robed immortal reaching out with his large hand, Fang Bai didn’t hesitate, instantly drawing Fairy Xuanbing, Flood Dragon Venerable, and the other seven into his Five Elents Space Ring, and then hoisting the Five Elents Origin Qi Cauldron, fled towards the distance.
Fang Bai knew that as long as he held out for a hundred breaths, he could escape this calamity.
Due to being constrained by the rules of heaven and earth, any cultivator reaching the Immortal Realm, possessing a trace of immortal power within, would ascend to the Immortal Realm within a hundred breaths.
This ascension process was beyond the cultivator’s control.
In other words, the purple-robed immortal would have to ascend to the Immortal Realm under the rules of heaven and earth after a hundred breaths, unable to harm Fang Bai further.
But Fang Bai also realized that the purple-robed immortal wouldn’t easily let him go during this hundred breaths. Undoubtedly, he would deploy powerful immortal arts to seize the Five Elents Origin Qi Cauldron from him.
In short, the coming hundred breaths would not only determine Fang Bai’s fate but also decide the fate of the seven like Flood Dragon Venerable.
If Fang Bai could escape, everything would be fine.
If Fang Bai couldn’t escape, not only would he perish, but Flood Dragon Venerable and the seven would also be eternally trapped within the Five Elents Space Ring.
