Chapter 850: The Power of Perfect Completion
The cultivators stationed on the Immortal Immortal Continent, upon seeing their sect's immortals appear as if facing a dire threat, immediately turned pale with terror, realizing that the appearance of this warship was no ordinary event—those evolutionists from Earth seemed determined to make a final, desperate stand against them.
Had we pushed those evolutionists too far, forcing them to fight to the death? Even the Black Tortoise Array was shattered in an instant, and now their warship had breached straight into our base.
"Attack together—destroy this warship."
The immortals who had arrived together, after a brief moment of shock and fury, immediately reacted, and then terrifying waves of immortal energy shook heaven and earth.
But it was too slow.
This time, Li Yi and the others had launched a preemptive strike; the instant the Immortal Warship shattered the opponent's Black Tortoise Array, everyone had already prepared.
Suddenly.
Two figures clad in crimson-gold battle armor burst forth from the Immortal Warship, their astonishing aura sending shivers through the heart, followed by a deafening roar of Dragon and Tiger that drowned the entire Immortal Immortal Continent base.
"Dragon-Tiger Strike."
Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi struck—right from the start, they unleashed their peak combat power without holding back; three fully perfected Dao flowers bloomed, granting them unimaginably terrifying magical power, which, channeled through the Dao art of Subduing the Dragon and Taming the Tiger, produced devastating destruction.
"Worse."
The immortals preparing to attack now trembled uncontrollably; beneath this cataclysmic blow, they instantly abandoned any thought of striking back—only one thought remained in their minds.
Flee!
They must flee, or today they would perish here.
But now, escaping was not so easy.
The moment the Dragon-Tiger Strike erupted, the very space of heaven and earth trembled; even immortals could not teleport away under such conditions. All they could do was unleash their most secret, last-resort techniques.
Those with Immortal Artifacts raised them for defense; those without cast protective spells, all while fleeing from the Immortal Warship at maximum speed.
Yet even so, they were still a fraction too slow.
The power of the Dragon-Tiger Strike exploded outward like a tidal wave, engulfing everything at an unimaginable speed.
"Can't escape—they've unleashed two True Immortal-level combat powers! The evolutionists of Earth intend to annihilate us all in one stroke! Activate your hidden measures—no hesitation, or we'll all die here!"
One immortal roared, then unleashed a terrifying aura not his own—a phantom True Immortal form appeared around him, enduring the force of the Dragon-Tiger Strike.
"Damn Earthlings."
Another female immortal gritted her teeth and was forced to activate her hidden measure as well, releasing a surge of True Immortal-level power.
But even with the manifestation of True Immortal power, it still proved insufficient against the Dragon-Tiger Strike—its only effect was shielding that immortal from total annihilation.
Immortals without True Immortal-level backup could only rely on their Immortal Artifacts to withstand the pressure.
Immortals from minor sects fared worse—they lacked both Immortal Artifacts and True Immortal-level reserves, so under the torrent of the Dragon-Tiger Strike, they screamed in agony and died instantly.
With immortals being killed, the Mahayana cultivators nearby suffered catastrophic blows; no matter what they did, it was futile—this power exceeded their absolute limit. Even those who pulled out their sect's ancestral Immortal Artifacts were powerless.
Because their strength could not unlock the full power of the Immortal Artifacts, the final result was the artifacts being blasted away, while their bodies and primordial spirits were instantly reduced to dust.
The two fully perfected Dao cultivators had just revealed power worthy of destroying heaven and earth.
Beneath the roaring Dragon and Tiger, the entire Immortal Immortal Continent base was obliterated—all around them vanished in this single strike. Even Li Yi, within the Immortal Warship, could not help but turn pale.
"Can the power of a fully perfected Three Flowers cultivator using the Dragon-Tiger Strike really be this terrifying?"
This was his first time witnessing a fully perfected cultivator in action—this power could truly rival a Demon King, no, even surpass it.
"The reason fully perfected cultivators are classified as a separate realm is because the power of a Three Flowers perfected cultivator differs vastly from that of one just entering the Three Flowers realm. Know this: when the Life Flower is perfected, one achieves immortality; when the Magical Power Flower is perfected, one's magical power becomes boundless; when the Primordial Spirit Flower is perfected, one's primordial spirit becomes indestructible. Now, with Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi's three flowers fully bloomed and augmented by other methods, their displayed power is naturally extraordinary."
Miao Huizi spoke beside him, answering Li Yi's unspoken doubts.
Li Yi nodded slightly: "With these two immortal ladies holding the line, things are going far smoother than expected."
It wasn't just him who marveled at Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi's power.
Other cultivators and Earth's evolutionists were equally stunned—such combat power was truly terrifying; even the residual energy kept them from leaving the Immortal Warship, lest they be killed by its aftershocks.
"We're going to win this."
After a brief shock, everyone's confidence surged.
With two such powerful forces on our side, the Immortal Immortal Continent's cultivators would have to commit all three or more True Immortals to save this base—otherwise, today, it was doomed.
Soon.
The power of the strike, after shaking a thousand li of land, began to fade—this was due to Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi deliberately restraining it; otherwise, this single strike could have shattered an entire continent and disrupted Earth's environment and climate.
Such masters, in the old Daoist world, were never permitted to fight freely—any battle had to be moved to the Nine Heavens, that is, outer space.
The Immortal Immortal Continent base had vanished under this strike—only scattered spots, protected by immense power, barely survived.
Three immortals had perished.
The number of Mahayana cultivators killed was unknown—all was gone.
Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi stood firm in the heavens, faces cold, three flowers blooming above their heads, spiritual energy rapidly converging around them, their gazes sweeping the surroundings, searching for survivors.
"Cough, cough."
From the wasteland, a surviving immortal emerged, battered and bleeding, roaring: "You two aren't Earth's evolutionists—you crossed realms to aid Earth! Are you trying to make war against the Immortal Immortal Continent?"
Another immortal burst forth from deep within the earth, disheveled, terrified yet still snarling: "You've deployed True Immortal-level power—this violates the pact! Do you intend to ignite a realm war and drag all life from both worlds into hell?"
With such power, they couldn't even flee—only way left was to buy time, waiting for True Immortals to arrive.
"Survival of the fittest—that's the Dao's rule. Didn't your Immortal Immortal Continent exploit your superior strength to oppress Earth's evolutionists?" Xiang Xiangzi sneered, radiating lethal intent.
"No need for words—you're all dying today."
With that, Xiang Xiangzi prepared to strike again and kill these few immortals before things grew more complicated.
But at that moment, she suddenly halted.
For above, countless beams of immortal light had descended—delicate, radiant, drifting like feathers, while an unusual fragrance filled heaven and earth.
Under the glow of this light, several wounded immortals' injuries visibly healed—as if this light contained some mysterious creative force.
"Immortal Ascension Light—this means a True Immortal has descended!" The surviving immortals, seeing this, rejoiced.
The entire base had been obliterated by the previous strike; countless cultivators had died—even True Immortals could no longer sit idle.
Within the Immortal Ascension Light, three phantom True Immortal forms appeared; though mere projections, they radiated overwhelming pressure, their aura making even immortals tremble.
"A projection of primordial spirit has arrived—why not manifest your true body and fight me?"
Xiang Xiangzi spoke coldly; she could tell the True Immortal had not appeared—his true body was likely still on the Immortal Immortal Continent.
Yet to project a primordial spirit across such a vast distance—this Daoist method of the Immortal Immortal Continent truly had its unique strengths.
"Your power is astonishing—you already possess True Immortal potential. You must hail from a great realm. If so, why not join us in settling on Earth? Why aid these base evolutionists and kill our disciples?" One True Immortal, radiating boundless light, spoke.
"If you withdraw now and cease aiding Earth, the Immortal Immortal Continent will overlook this incident. Otherwise, a realm war benefits no one," added another female True Immortal, wreathed in radiant treasure-light, equally magnificent.
Clearly, these two True Immortals judged Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi to come from a deeply rooted world, and thus feared provoking a powerful enemy—even at the cost of heavy losses.
Though their approach was prudent, the True Immortals did not know that Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi came from a Dharma-End Era Dao world—a world already unfit for cultivation, with no real depth.
Xiang Xiangzi now realized where their fear lay, and sneered: "You dare issue warrants for my Tian Dao Sect's Divine Son, send immortals to hunt him down—and now you say 'overlook it'? Having been True Immortals too long, you dare posture as superior before me? How ignorant of heaven and earth! Don't pretend with a mere primordial projection—have the guts to descend and fight."
She now displayed overwhelming dominance, radiating unshakable confidence, and raised her hand.
Five Dao arts—each capable of severing rivers and forming land—unleashed instantly, tearing open the heavens like a colossal palm slamming toward the three True Immortal projections.
This strike was not merely a display of power—it was meant to let the True Immortals glimpse the pinnacle of Dao arts, and thus catch a glimpse of the hidden depth of the Dao world.
Seeing Xiang Xiangzi strike, the three True Immortals' expressions darkened.
They recognized the exquisite subtlety of the "Severing Rivers to Form Land" Dao art, and realized the Dao world's depth was no lesser than the Immortal Immortal Continent's—perhaps even superior. This matter was now far more complicated.
"We cannot yield, nor can we fully wage war—so then—"
Instantly, the three True Immortals reached a decision.
"Since you insist on fighting, very well—let us settle this at the peak of heaven, to end our grudge. What do you say?" Facing the strike, the three True Immortal projections did not retaliate—they allowed the blow to erase their projections.
Before vanishing, the True Immortals left these words.
"Agreed—nine heavens, then." Xiang Xiangzi did not hesitate, immediately accepting, then glanced at Xuan Yuezi.
Xuan Yuezi understood Xiang Xiangzi's intent and nodded slightly.
In terms of depth, they could not match the Immortal Immortal Continent—but fortunately, these cultivators were indeed cowardly, wary of powerful figures from great realms, unwilling to launch a full-scale war—otherwise, the situation would have been hard to control.
With the agreement reached.
From the Immortal Immortal Continent, two beams of immortal light crossed realms, streaking across the sky like meteors at incredible speed.
"Tai Yi, we're counting on you now. Xuan Yuezi and I will hold off the Immortal Immortal Continent's True Immortals." Xiang Xiangzi transmitted her voice, then stepped onto a cloud of auspicious light, preparing to depart.
"Immortal Lady, wait—take this physical statue of the Bodhisattva Heavenly Dragon Great Power from the Fan Realm, for precaution. In a critical moment, let your primordial spirit inhabit the statue." Li Yi flew out of the Immortal Warship and tossed a crimson-gold Qiankun pouch.
Xiang Xiangzi caught it, felt the terrifying power within the Bodhisattva statue, and immediately understood—but she remained expressionless, then departed with Xuan Yuezi.
"Now that True Immortals have entered the fray, Xuan Yuezi and I can no longer target these survivors—otherwise, the True Immortals will strike you. Handle the remaining enemies yourselves."
Before leaving, these words echoed in Li Yi's mind.
