Chapter 85: Seizing fortune under the Immortal King's eyelids!

A bell rang.

It was not a sound that echoed through heaven and earth, but… it annihilated heaven and earth.

At the moment the old ancestor struck the Chaos Immortal Bell.

The entire Sanqian Zhou, and even the countless star domains surrounding it—time, space, light, sound, law… every tangible and intangible concept—was forcibly frozen in that instant, then reduced to nothing.

It was an absolute stillness, an absolute darkness that words cannot describe.

Above the Heavenly Dome, the holy giant hand that had been fiercely colliding with the pitch-black sword light suddenly froze.

The Immortal King behind it apparently also sensed this sudden power that could threaten him, and let out a doubtful, angry roar.

"Who is it?!"

The wielder of that pitch-black sword light.

He too hesitated, and within his sharp sword intent, a hint of apprehension arose.

The two Immortal Kings locked in fierce combat simultaneously halted their actions and extended their divine sense toward the direction from which the bell tolled.

Yet, how terrifying is the might of the Chaos Immortal Bell?

The moment it rang, it centered itself and formed an absolute domain of chaos.

Within this domain, all laws cease to exist, and the Grand Dao retreats.

Even an Immortal King's divine sense cannot penetrate even a fraction of it for a short while.

They could only vaguely sense a power not inferior to their own suddenly intervening on the battlefield.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

Both Immortal Kings simultaneously had this thought arise in their minds, and their killing intent surged.

They ceased attacking each other and, with a common purpose, turned their spears toward this sudden third party.

Two terrifying forces of the Immortal Kings transformed into two torrents that could destroy heaven and earth, fiercely bombarding the domain where the Chaos Immortal Bell resided!

Yet all of this was within the old ancestor's expectations.

"Good timing!"

The old ancestor stood firm at the chaos's center, his beard and hair bristling, his battle spirit soaring to the heavens.

He did not choose to resist head-on, but instead pushed the might of the Chaos Immortal Bell to its utmost!

"Clang——!!!"

Another bell tolled.

This time, the bell's toll was no longer a suppression, but… a reversal!

Centered on the Chaos Immortal Bell, the spacetime within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles plunged into a state of utter disorder and inversion.

The river of time flowed backward, spatial dimensions twisted, and the threads of cause and effect snapped.

Those two attacks of the Immortal Kings, capable of destroying everything,

the moment they entered this domain, they were drawn by the chaotic spacetime laws into unknown dimensions and dissipated into nothingness.

"Now!"

The old ancestor's voice, like a divine oracle, rang in the hearts of every member of the Gu Family!

"Attack!"

Gu Xuan Ce, who had long been prepared, moved at the sound!

"Reverse the universe, slash!"

He formed seals with both hands and spat out icy bytes.

That grand array, jointly activated by fourteen Supremes and two Heavenly Emperors.

At this moment, it burst forth with unprecedented brilliant light!

A phantom blade woven from countless array patterns, seeming able to sever all ties in the world, shot up from the center of the array!

The blade's target was not the Immortal King in the sky, nor the mountains and rivers on the earth.

but… the intangible nexus linking Lei Zhou, Huo Zhou, and the very origin of the entire Sanqian Zhou world!

"Crack——!"

A sound like shattering from the world's core echoed deep in the souls of all natives of Sanqian Zhou.

That indestructible bond of the world's origin snapped instantly under the slash of that phantom blade!

In an instant, the vast expanses of Lei Zhou and Huo Zhou seemed to become rootless duckweed, breaking free from the pond of Sanqian Zhou and beginning to drift slowly into the endless void.

The billions of living beings upon them.

At this moment, they all felt a great panic springing from the source of life, as if the world had abandoned them.

However, this process would not last long; without external intervention, it would soon be reclaimed by the worldly power of Sanqian Zhou.

"Yuan'er!"

The old ancestor's furious shout rang out again.

Gu Yuan's heart shuddered, and he hesitated no longer.

"World Tree, arise!"

The chaos singularity within him spun wildly, and the immense worldly power, along with the residual strength of the Supremes and Heavenly Emperors, poured unreservedly into the World Tree sapling above his dantian's qi sea!

Hum——!!!

The World Tree sapling, as if infused with boundless energy, burst with seven-colored radiance, instantly projecting a phantom from Gu Yuan's forehead!

That phantom, catching the wind, grew in the blink of an eye into a towering divine tree hundreds of millions of feet tall, seeming able to support the entire universe!

The divine tree's roots, like countless seven-colored iridescent true dragons winding through space, ignored distance and instantly plunged deep into the cores of the two drifting provinces!

"Come… to me!"

Gu Yuan's eyes turned blood-red, his soul power driven to the limit, and he unleashed a roar from the depths of his soul!

Boom—!!!

The two continents of Lei Zhou and Huo Zhou, which were being seized in midair by that giant‑hand Immortal King, suddenly shuddered.

Their drifting trajectories were forcibly twisted by an irresistible mighty force.

Under the shocked and angry gaze of the two Immortal Kings above the Heavenly Dome.

They began to fly backward at an unimaginable speed toward the direction where Gu Yuan was!

"Ants, how dare you!"

The Immortal King behind the Holy Giant Hand unleashed a roar of extreme fury.

He finally realized he had been played.

The guy wielding the Chaos Immortal Bell was merely a decoy; his true aim was to seize the prey he had set his sights on.

He could no longer afford to entangle himself with the wielder of the pitch‑black sword light.

The Holy Giant Hand reversed direction, brimming with a rage capable of crushing everything, and lunged fiercely at Gu Yuan and the phantom of the World Tree.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm just for show?"

The Old Ancestor snorted coldly, and the Chaos Immortal Bell in his hand trembled again!

"Clang!"

The resonant bell tone turned into a visible ripple of chaos that spread out, precisely blocking the Holy Giant Hand ahead.

Boom!

The two collided, erupting in an earth‑shattering roar.

The Old Ancestor's figure shuddered in the void, a trace of golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

With his own strength, he hard‑blocked an attack from an enraged Immortal King.

Even for him, it was no easy feat.

But he managed to block it in the end!

And that brief delay was already enough.

Before Gu Yuan, a mysterious‑aura‑shimmering light gate that seemed to connect to an unknown world had already silently opened.

Those two colossal continents, pulled by the World Tree Roots, had already flown to the entrance of the light gate.

"Seize!"

Gu Yuan exerted his last ounce of strength and gave a mighty pull!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Amid the stunned, speechless gazes of everyone.

The two continents of Lei Zhou and Huo Zhou, each vast enough to bear billions of beings.

Thus… along with Gu Yuan and the towering phantom of the World Tree behind him, they were gulped down whole by that seemingly modest light gate!

Then they vanished together within the light gate.

"Success!"

They… they actually did it!

They truly, right under the noses of the two Immortal Kings, snatched the choicest morsels from the tiger's mouth!

This feeling was ten thousand times more exhilarating than when he first broke through to the Supreme Realm!

"Retreat!"

The Old Ancestor's voice sounded at just the right moment.

He wiped the blood from his mouth and glanced upward at the Heavenly Dome.

The Holy Giant Hand, trembling madly from rage, and the pitch‑black sword light likewise exuding icy killing intent, both wore a smug smile.

He flickered, scooped up all the Gu family members and the Immortal King's remains before leaving, then rushed into the light gate, which vanished instantly under Gu Yuan's control.

The next breath.

The power of the Chaos Immortal Bell faded, and spacetime returned to normal.

The divine senses of the two Immortal Kings could finally sweep across this battlefield unhindered.

Then, they saw.

The space that originally belonged to Lei Zhou and Huo Zhou was now empty, save for two huge scars still emanating chaotic qi.

The two supreme Immortal Kings, at this moment, simultaneously fell into a prolonged silence.

Their divine senses combed back and forth over this shattered battlefield hundreds of times, yet found not a trace of a clue.

It was as if that fearless swarm of ants, together with the two continents, had simply vanished into thin air.

After a long while.

"Ah—!!!"

A roar brimming with endless humiliation and fury erupted from the hollow behind the Holy Giant Hand, shaking the entire Sanqian Zhou to tremble.

He, a lofty Immortal King, was actually… toyed with by a bunch of ants!

This is nothing short of utter disgrace!
