Chapter 596: Slaughtering Into the Immortal Realm

"Friends, follow me as we ascend to heaven, slay immortals, kill gods!"

Lu Xun's voice was not loud, yet like a thunderbolt splitting the ages of night, it rang clearly in the depths of every living soul's spirit.

That voice carried the weight of an era, and also an unquestionable resolve.

As his words fell, at the zenith of the heavens, a teleportation formation of unimaginable size burst open with a roar.

It was not etched upon the earth, but with the whole starry sky as its base and myriad laws as its pattern, brilliant light instantly overwhelmed the stars, as if the universe opened a cold eye, gazing down upon the beings below who dared to defy fate.

Next, one ignited spirit star after another appeared.

They were like awakened ancient war spirits, burning with the undying fire of civilization, dragging mighty tails of energy light, encircling the blue mother star—Lan Xing.

In the next instant, Lan Xing led, and myriad spirit stars, like loyal guards, transformed into a surging torrent of stars, boldly charging into that enormous teleportation passage.

"Kill!"

Countless civilizations, countless races, billions of powerhouses simultaneously unleashed a battle cry that shattered the void.

Giants dragons unfurled wings, tearing the firmament; mechanical constructs spewed azure particle streams; elemental life became storms of destruction; ancient cultivators' sword light pierced the heavens… warriors of all forms gathered into a tide sweeping the heavens, following Lan Xing, they fearlessly surged into the formation.

A brief flow of time and space, all things fell silent.

When the scene before them stabilized once more, they found themselves before a completely unfamiliar realm.

Ahead lay the heavenly chasm that separates the mortal world from the immortal domain!

It was not a natural creation, but a war bulwark forged by the immortals with supreme power.

Countless defensive lines lay layered, stretching endlessly forward, each exuding a destructive aura that made souls tremble.

The first line alone utterly shocked all who first beheld it.

It was a vast stellar grand formation composed of countless stars! Billions of stars were not naturally scattered, but forcibly seized and refined by supreme power, arranged in a profound and terrifying pattern, with scorching solar prominences and destructive energy streams linking the stars, forming a celestial net that shrouded billions of miles of void.

The blazing light and terrifying energy fluctuations could instantly vaporize any being below a true immortal.

Further on, the void twisted, and flame became the very law.

The Heavenly Fire Formation burned the void, the Separating Fire Formation corroded the world barrier, the True Fire Formation melted myriad laws, the Karmic Fire Formation scorched the cycle of cause and effect… each layer more terrifying than the last; merely gazing upon it caused many mighty beings of the myriad races' army to feel their souls prickle, as if they would be ignited the next instant.

Lu Xun stood before the myriad troops, his robes fluttering in the energy storm yet steady as an ancient divine mountain. Gazing at the stellar grand formation composed of billions of stars, sufficient to make even an immortal king retreat, his eyes remained calm and deep as an abyss.

"Using stars as a formation, what a grand handiwork."

He remarked lightly, as if watching a fireworks display unrelated to himself.

He did not act himself, merely stirred his thoughts slightly.

Behind him, dozens of Red Dust Immortals whose auras shook the universe stepped forward in unison.

Each of them had once been the pride of an age, having reached the utmost sublime in the mortal realm, their battle power astonishing even immortals.

At this moment, none showed fear in their eyes; only the pent‑up battle intent of countless ages boiled, almost condensing into tangible blood‑colored flames that scorched the frontline of the immortal domain.

"This formation, leave it to us!"

An ancient‑looking Red Dust Immortal let out a long cry that shook the star sea, instantly transforming into a dazzling immortal rainbow, advancing without retreat at super‑temporal speed straight toward the core eye of the formation!

The other Red Dust Immortals laughed in response and followed closely behind.

In an instant, the laws boiled like a sea!

Some immortal sovereigns drew upon the boundless Dao laws, transforming them into colossal blades that cleaved the star rivers; some demon immortals sacrificed their natal divine weapons nurtured over a hundred million years, their killing intent rolling through the ages; some divine beings incarnated as vast chaotic dharmas, their fists and palms shattering myriad stars… dozens of terrifyingly peerless figures, like dozens of annihilating comets, boldly slammed into the boundless stellar grand formation!

Boom—rumble~!

Billions of miles of void violently trembled! The immense formation composed of billions of stars was forcibly torn apart and pierced by that absolute power.

Starlight continually burst and shattered, like the grandest fireworks in the cosmos, tracing a scene of destruction.

The ancient divine chains binding the formation snapped inch by inch, emitting anguished cries of being overburdened.

Where the Red Dust Immortals passed, stars had their energy cores forcibly extinguished, turning into cold dead stars, while the sturdy formation base continually collapsed and exploded.

The stellar killing light, capable of strangling true immortals and heavily wounding immortal sovereigns, bombarded them densely, yet could only raise faint ripples of law, unable to truly harm their immortal bodies forged through countless tempers in ultimate combat.

They were like primordial tigers charging into a flock of sheep, exhibiting the most violent and direct manner, embodying what it means to defy the mundane and slay immortals!

Before long, the seemingly insurmountable first layer of the stellar grand formation was, amidst continuous terrifying explosions, forcibly torn open a huge gap; the immortal light dimmed, and the formation utterly collapsed!

However, before anyone could catch their breath, the void ahead suddenly turned into an endless sea of fire.

Heavenly fire burned the void, scorching all things; separating fire corroded the boundary, melting space; true fire melted the Dao, refining myriad laws; karmic fire burned souls, tracing cause and effect!

Four kinds of terrifyingly peerless immortal fires intertwined into a sea of purgatory, completely sealing off the road ahead.

The flames' colors shifted eerily—blazing white, deep blue, crimson, dark purple intertwining; the terrifying heat even distorted and collapsed spacetime, forming a deadly dead zone.

Countless fire spirits roared and wailed within, exuding an aura of despair.

"The fire of the immortal realm cannot be touched by mortals; contact means instant immolation, and even a true immortal struggles to withstand its might!"

Within the ranks, a voice from an exceedingly ancient civilization spoke hoarsely, revealing the terror of this flame.

Lu Xun merely glanced at it lightly.

He raised his hand and pointed, then struck again.

This sword was no longer the gray, lifeless stillness when he had shattered myriad laws before; it was now brilliant and splendid to the utmost!

It was like the first ray of light when heaven and earth were first split, tearing apart eternal chaos; it was also like the light of all the stars in the universe condensing onto this line in an instant!

The sword light streaked across the heavens, not vast in scale, yet bearing an absolute 'order,' a supreme intent that transcends all heavenly fires!

Where the sword light passed, all fires submitted!

The heavenly fire that burned the void, upon encountering its nemesis, fled wildly to both sides; the separating fire that corroded the boundary silently vanished; the true fire that melted the Dao lamented as it recoiled backward;

The most peculiar karmic fire that specifically burns karma and retribution, the red lotus karmic fire, violently swayed, emitting shrill cries like wails, then inch by inch shattered, turning into drifting red lotus fragments that finally dissipated into nothing.

With a single sword, the vast sea of fire and myriad immortal flames all came to naught!

Lu Xun lowered his finger, took a step, and his figure leisurely crossed the flame‑cleared vacuum zone, his body unstained by a speck of dust, his garments unharmed in the slightest, as if he had walked not through a deadly zone but a smooth path.

"Keep up."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable power that reached the ears of every warrior behind him.

After a brief deathly silence, a thoroughly erupting earth-shaking roar burst forth!

"Kill!!!"

Myriad-race powerhouses witnessed this scene like a divine miracle, their hot blood boiling completely, their fighting spirit burning to the peak.

The roars converged into a terrifying sound wave, shattering the floating stellar debris in the distance.

The countless army surged like a bursting dam, closely following that invincible figure ahead, with an unstoppable force, breaking through layer after layer of immortal formation defenses.

In the Golden Spear Iron Horse Formation, the torrent of immortal power condensed myriad divine soldiers and generals was shattered by a single punch;

Within the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder Prison, the world-destroying divine thunder capable of cleaving a great world was deflected by a single sword, backfiring upon the formation;

The Myriad Immortals Slay Gods Diagram unfolded; the ancient immortal god manifestations walking out of it were directly torn apart and worn down… the terrifying primeval killing formations, legendary in the immortal realm for being able to suppress myriad immortals and make immortal kings bleed, were as fragile as paper toys before Lu Xun—he merely pointed casually or swung his sword at will, and they were easily ripped apart and collapsed!

His power seemed endless, his Dao transcending the laws of this immortal realm; wherever he pointed, all methods returned to nothing!

Finally, after breaking through who-knows-how-many layers of terrifying formations and piercing countless solid barriers, their vision suddenly cleared—all obstacles vanished.

It was a towering heavenly gate standing atop the endless cloud peaks, its height unknown tens of thousands of zhang, forged entirely of chaotic immortal gold, inscribed with countless primordial Dao markings, exhaling an aura of eternal antiquity.

Beyond the gate, myriad rays of immortal light and thousands of streams of auspicious qi surged; the immortal spirit qi, so dense it was nearly liquid, struck like a storm.

Yet at the same time, a vaster, boundless, icy and merciful pressure seeped from beyond the gate, as if countless ancient, powerful beings had awakened, gazing upon this reckless band of intruders with cold eyes.

Upon the heavenly gate, inscribed with grand Dao runes were two ancient, vast characters that weighed upon all heavens and worlds——

"Immortal Realm!"

Before the heavenly gate, the black-clad army of immortal gods had long stood ready, its numbers far exceeding the previous hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, its aura more domineering than tenfold!

The battle formation was strict, killing intent soaring to the heavens, the light of immortal-armored divine soldiers blazing dazzlingly.

At the forefront were divine generals and immortal officials, laws swirling around them, Dao fruits ebbing and flowing, their icy gazes looking down upon the 'Against-Mortals' army charging from below.

A divine general clad in mystic armor and wielding a giant axe stepped forward from the ranks, his voice like thunder:

"Mundane wickedness, how dare you trespass my immortal realm! This is the gate of the immortal realm, you..."

The words had not yet faded.

Lu Xun had already made his move.

He didn't even bother to listen to the end, merely throwing out a simple punch.

This punch bore no radiance, yet it gathered the struggle and roar of myriad cosmic spirits, the despair and resistance of this era, the resentment and indignation of countless civilizations buried!

The punch's force penetrated the universe, ignoring all distance and defense.

That divine general, together with the thousands of immortal gods behind him, had no time to react before exploding in the sight of countless astonished eyes, turning into a rain of light that vanished completely.

Along with that majestic heavenly gate symbolizing the supreme authority of the immortal realm, it too let out a groan under the strain, cracks spreading across its pillars, its immortal light dimming.

Lu Xun lowered his fist, indifferently raised his head, gazing toward the boundless splendor beyond the gate that also hid boundless icy cold—the realm of the immortal gods.

He slowly opened his mouth; though his voice was not loud, it clearly carried throughout the inside and outside of the heavenly gate.

"Today, Lu Xun leads the myriad spirits to assault heaven."

"It's not to prove how great I am, but to tell the heavenly immortal gods~"

"What you have seized, sealed, buried... we will surely take it back with our own hands."

"Kill!"

At the command, behind him lay the accumulated wrath and roar of myriad ages!

A mighty surge followed closely behind that ever-forward silhouette, completely charging into the land they longed for, hated, and swore to rewrite the order of——

"Realm of the Immortal Gods!"
