Chapter 662: Invasion by Outside the Realm Cultivators

Outside the Realm.

Wang Jianqiang did not continue to flee.

He knew that the gap between himself and the Covering Heaven Great Hand was too vast.

Fleeing would only be in vain.

He looked up at the Covering Heaven Great Hand that was constantly drawing near.

Within his gaze, a cold glint flickered.

An expert from Outside the Realm?

I do not know who you are...

Because of you, Lingxi has fallen and Xiaobai is severely wounded.

Ten thousand deaths would not be enough to atone for your crimes!

No matter who you are or how strong your cultivation is.

I, Wang Jianqiang, will surely extract your Soul and refine your spirit!

Under Wang Jianqiang's direct gaze, the great hand rapidly closed in.

Just at this moment.

Wang Jianqiang did not notice that on the distant snowy mountain peak, a graceful figure dressed in a red feathered skirt had already appeared out of thin air.

The moment the woman appeared, her gaze was cast directly toward that Covering Heaven Great Hand.

Within her eyes, which were like rubies, a trace of solemnity flashed.

She could perceive the strength of the person who had unleashed this strike.

Very strong!

Immediately following, her line of sight subconsciously shifted downward.

The next moment.

A figure appeared in her field of vision.

That figure was looking face-up at the Covering Heaven Great Hand.

His aura was weak, and his face was pale.

Compared to that Covering Heaven Great Hand, he was as tiny as an ant.

But facing this certain-death situation.

There was not a hint of fear on that man's face, and his back was straight.

The instant she saw this figure, the woman was suddenly stunned.

Her pupils contracted sharply.

It is him!

Although the other party's appearance and strength had undergone enormous changes compared to her memories.

A person's Soul aura, however, cannot be changed.

The instant she saw him, she recognized him immediately.

She finally knew why she had felt a sense of heart palpitations.

Because.

The person she felt most guilty toward and who was most important in her life was encountering a life-threatening crisis.

Moreover, it was not far from Luoxue Mountain.

"No!"

The next moment.

The woman instantly snapped back to her senses.

A trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Her body turned into a streak of red light, and she charged straight out.

However.

Just as the woman reacted.

The distance between the Covering Heaven Great Hand and Wang Jianqiang had already closed to within a limit.

A tyrannical gale enveloped him.

His physical body, amidst the ravaging gale, only persisted for a moment before it shattered apart.

Immediately after.

A peculiar Nascent Soul draped in a Five-Colored Feather Garment was revealed.

The Five-Colored Feather Garment radiated an intense and brilliant Spirit Light.

But this Spirit Light only supported him for an instant before it was completely extinguished.

Crack!

The Five-Colored Feather Garment shattered.

Wang Jianqiang's Nascent Soul was completely exposed to the gale, and following that, it shattered completely.

"No—"

Seeing this, within the red-feathered-skirt woman's ruby-like eyes.

The look of fear suddenly intensified to the extreme.

Her slender fingers interlaced into a seal, and she pointed toward the sky.

In an instant.

The sky suddenly turned into a expanse of red.

The originally white clouds turned red, and raging flames ignited upon them.

The next moment.

The flames tilted.

Like a surging long river, they descended from the horizon, smashing toward that Covering Heaven Great Hand.

This strike was not the woman's strongest attack.

But it was the fastest interception method she could manage at this very moment.

Boom—

The river of flames impacted the Covering Heaven Great Hand.

The Covering Heaven Great Hand shuddered, then collapsed with a roar.

When everything dissipated into smoke and clouds.

The woman hurriedly looked toward the place where Wang Jianqiang had been standing.

What met her eyes were a bloody physical body torn into several pieces, a cluster of blue flames floating quietly, and a large patch of ground stained red with blood.

Seeing this scene.

The woman was completely stunned.

Her complexion instantly turned pale, and she stared fixedly at that blood-soaked ground, her eyes seemingly losing focus.

"No, how could it be like this?"

"I haven't even apologized to you yet, how can you be dead?"

"You cannot die."

The woman muttered to herself, somewhat dejected and soul-lost.

Suddenly, her palm covered her chest.

A wisp of crimson blood spilled from her red lips.

The sharp pain in her heart seemed to bring her back to her senses.

Her eyes gradually regained focus.

She looked fiercely toward the pitch-black pit, like an Abyss, from which the Covering Heaven Great Hand had emerged.

An intense killing intent soared into the sky.

The temperature of this world climbed sharply as a result.

"I want you dead!"

A cold voice, suppressed to the extreme, came from the woman's mouth.

The next moment.

She transformed directly into a scorching stream of light and instantly charged into that bottomless pit.

Underground.

In the Divine Fire Alliance Forbidden Land.

The Xue Hai had already dried up, and above the Xue Hai, there was a pitch-black crack.

Inside the crack.

That chaotic Space Power finally calmed down completely as time passed.

After the Space Power had completely calmed down.

A middle-aged man walked out from the crack.

The instant he stepped out of the crack.

The middle-aged man seemed to have sensed something, looking upward with a surprised expression.

Long before the Boundary Wall Node was broken through, he had been observing this place through that tiny slit.

He had seen the scene where that junior almost ruined their grand plan.

Therefore.

After the crack appeared, he immediately crossed the boundary to launch a pursuit and kill against them.

But what puzzled him somewhat was.

Under his own strike, he had actually failed to crush the other party to death.

Moreover, a trace of an aura familiar to him had faintly leaked from the other party's body.

Therefore, he had launched a second attack.

However.

Although the second attack successfully killed the other party.

It had also brought about a small trouble!

Boom!

Just as the middle-aged man looked upward.

The rocks and soil above instantly turned into powder.

Large swathes of scorching flames, like surging seawater, covered the sky and earth.

Wherever they passed, the space itself twisted along with them.

As if it were about to be ignited.

The middle-aged man pressed his palm upward.

An invisible force immediately blocked the surging flames.

However.

Although he had resisted the impact of the flames.

He had failed to completely block the temperature of the flames.

A terrifying high temperature was rapidly seeping through his defenses.

Making the sensation of scorching heat he felt grow increasingly intense.

Noticing this change, the middle-aged man's face revealed a look of surprise, "For a Void Refinement Perfection Stage cultivator, you actually possess such strength."

"It is rare to see a female cultivator as stunningly talented as you."

"Why not just follow me."

"Die!"

It was as if flames were burning within the woman's eyes.

That surging sea of fire became even more scorching.

"Her power is still increasing, how is this possible!"

The middle-aged man frowned, and his power erupted suddenly.

Boom!

This underground space collapsed completely.

Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

At the Transmission Array.

A flash of light passed, and four figures appeared on the Transmission Array.

They were exactly Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Bai Xiruo, the five of them.

The Instructor guarding the side of the Transmission Array saw Wang Yu Yao and Su Yutong, and his expression stirred.

He immediately walked up to them and smiled, "So it is you all. I remember you went to the Tianhuo Domain before, right? Did little friend Wang not return with you?"

Hearing the Instructor's words, Wang Yu Yao shook her head, "We encountered some incidents. Senior Brother still had some matters to arrange, so he let us return first. He will surely be back soon."

"Oh?"

Hearing Wang Yu Yao's words, the Instructor's gaze flickered, "What incidents? Did little brother Wang encounter any danger?"

Wang Yu Yao thought of that Covering Heaven Great Hand and nodded with a solemn expression, "We did indeed encounter some danger, but it has already been resolved."

When they teleported back, the second strike from the powerhouse Outside the Realm had not yet appeared, so they did not know that Wang Jianqiang had encountered danger again.

"It is good that it is resolved."

The Instructor smiled and, without changing his expression, looked at Bai Xiruo again.

Although this woman was not a member of the Immortal Palace, he had seen her before; she was one of the companions who had left with Wang Jianqiang.

As for these two.

He looked at Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan and said calmly, "Who are these two?"

Wang Yu Yao's expression tightened, "Instructor, these two are from the same sect as us. It was Senior Brother who gave them the Teleportation Jade to let them come to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace to take refuge for a while. We ask for the Instructor's accommodation."

"My Senior Brother will be back soon; he can explain the situation to you personally."

Hearing Wang Yu Yao's words, the Instructor smiled and shook his head, "Pah, it is just a small matter, no need to talk about accommodation."

"Since they are little friend Wang's fellow sect members, then let them stay."

"Many thanks, Instructor."

Wang Yu Yao was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped her fists.

Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, Bai Xiruo, and Su Yutong also hurriedly expressed their thanks.

The Instructor was all smiles and waved his hands repeatedly.

Looking at his humble appearance.

Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan could not help but feel some emotion in their hearts.

It was rumored that the Instructors of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace were all peerless powerhouses with arrogant personalities.

Now it seemed the rumors were not entirely true.

At the very least, this Instructor was quite approachable.

Next.

The women did not leave and began to wait by the side of the Transmission Array.

But what made them feel surprised was that as time passed, Wang Jianqiang never teleported back.

Gradually.

The women sensed that something was wrong, and their expressions gradually became anxious.

"Could you all tell me what you encountered before?"

Sensing the worry on the women's faces, the Instructor guarding the Transmission Array could no longer sit still.

Wang Jianqiang was no ordinary student.

He was someone valued by that person.

There must be no accidents.

Hearing the Instructor's inquiry.

The women looked at each other, and then Wang Yu Yao began to recount the events.

Upon hearing about the slaughter of the living beings in the Northern Territory, the Instructor's expression instantly became solemn.

And later, hearing that Wang Jianqiang was hunted by the Covering Heaven Great Hand, his heart pounded violently.

Only when he heard that Wang Jianqiang had survived did his expression finally relax.

"That's not right. If what you said is true, young friend Wang should have followed right behind you and teleported back."

"It is impossible for there to be such a long delay."

After hearing Wang Yu Yao's words, the Instructor frowned deeply, then looked at the young women thoughtfully, "Do you know the origin of that Covering Heaven Great Hand?"

Wang Yu Yao shook her head.

Immediately after, as if thinking of something, she hurriedly spoke up,

"Right, when Senior Brother had just escaped danger, we asked him what had happened."

"He only said one sentence about a Boundary Wall Node being broken, and then he didn't say anything more."

"Could it be related to this Boundary Wall Node?"

Wang Yu Yao looked at the Instructor.

She then noticed that the Instructor's face had gone completely rigid at some point.

His mouth was wide open, and his face was filled with a look of horror.

"Instructor!"

Wang Yu Yao called out softly.

The Instructor suddenly snapped back to his senses, a look of intense urgency surging onto his face as he stared fixedly at Wang Yu Yao, "Are you certain that young friend Wang told you the Boundary Wall Node was broken?"

"That's right!"

Wang Yu Yao nodded.

To the side.

Su Yutong, Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, and Bai Xiruo also nodded along, "We heard it too."

"This is trouble!"

The Instructor slapped his thigh and stood up with a start.

He hurriedly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message out.

A moment later.

A figure appeared silently by his side.

"You say that Wang Jianqiang discovered a Boundary Wall Node had been broken and was suspected of being hunted by a powerhouse from Outside the Realm?"

"Is this matter true?"

After Xuanyi appeared, he looked directly at the Instructor guarding the Transmission Array, his expression becoming rarely serious.

The Instructor nodded, "It is absolutely true; the news was brought back by them."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyi looked at Wang Yu Yao and the others.

Wang Yu Yao and the others bowed to Xuanyi, "Greetings, Senior."

Xuanyi waved his hand, "Useless formalities can be dispensed with. Is it you who said the Boundary Wall Node was broken?"

Wang Yu Yao nodded, "Senior Brother told us."

Senior Brother?

Hearing this form of address, Xuanyi looked the five women over and nodded, "In that case, lead the way; take me there immediately."

His voice had just fallen.

Wang Yu Yao and the others felt their vision blur suddenly.

When they reacted, they found they were already standing on the Transmission Array in a bizarre fashion.

In front of them was Xuanyi.

"I will go save him first."

"You immediately notify all high-level members of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace to head to the Tianhuo Domain at once."

Xuanyi looked at the Instructor beside the Transmission Array.

After his words fell.

Without waiting for the Instructor to help activate the Transmission Array, he pressed his palm downward.

The Transmission Array activated instantly.

The next moment.

The six figures on the Transmission Array vanished simultaneously.

……

Tianhuo Domain.

Northern Territory.

The battle between the woman in the red feathered dress and the middle-aged Cultivator from Outside the Realm was still continuing.

The two's battlefield had moved from underground to the sky.

Terrifying Spiritual Power fluctuations swept across most of the Northern Territory.

The Forbidden Land hidden deep underground had its topsoil and rocks long since evaporated during their battle.

It had turned into an Abyss ten thousand zhang deep.

At the bottom of this Abyss.

The spatial rift still existed, unaffected in the slightest by the battle.

Figure after figure continuously walked out from the spatial rift.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand figures appeared at the bottom of the Abyss.

"Is this the legendary Immortal Abandoned Land? The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth is indeed pitifully thin."

"The laws of heaven and earth are even so weak they can barely be sensed; the difficulty of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage here is too great."

Within the crowd, a man sensed his surroundings silently and smiled lightly.

"This Immortal Abandoned Land is indeed unsuitable for cultivation; otherwise, the overall strength of the natives here would not be so low."

"But the preciousness of this place is also beyond doubt."

"Otherwise, there would not be so many powerful factions that have remained obsessed with this place."

Beside the man, an old man chuckled.

"That is true."

The man smiled.

"Everyone, you have all come here having accepted the land-clearing mission."

"Next, it is time to take action."

Just at this moment, at the very front of the crowd.

A figure swept their gaze over the crowd, "This region is named Tianhuo Domain, and it is located in the northern area of the Tianhuo Domain."

"Your first-stage mission objective is to clear out the Northern Territory natives."

"During this period, those who perform excellently may obtain a quota to reside in the Immortal Abandoned Land."

Upon hearing this voice, the crowd immediately became fanatical.

They risked their lives to enter this place, becoming the vanguard and suicide squads for these major factions...

What was the purpose?

Wasn't it just to gamble for a stroke of fortune?

And the residency qualification for the Immortal Abandoned Land was precisely the ultimate goal for most of them!

The next moment.

Everyone, as if injected with chicken blood, rushed out simultaneously.

At the very back of the crowd.

A youth with a shifty-eyed appearance, upon reaching the ground, also rushed outward like the others.

Suddenly.

He looked at the ground ahead, his expression shifting.

There, there was a pool of blood.

On the ground stained red with blood, a White Jade Ring was reflecting a faint radiance.
