Chapter 124: Arrival in the Upper Immortal Realm

Gurgle!

Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor's head, covered in the wrinkles of ages and strange curse markings, rolled straight down from his neck, smashing onto the cold, hard altar with an extremely dull thud.

The head rolled several times; the pair of eyes, originally filled with eeriness and apathy, remained wide open, still holding a terror and disbelief so dense they could not dissipate.

Ling Batian, kneeling on the ground below, saw this and felt as if struck by lightning; his whole body's blood nearly froze.

Heavens!

What... what happened?!

Senior... senior?

His lips trembled, his voice hoarse and broken, his body shaking uncontrollably!

He personally witnessed the Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor, using supreme curse power, wielding that rust-stained scissors stained with endless karma and departed souls, snipping down at the neck of that white-clothed youth's portrait.

The next second, his own head actually rolled off?!

This was a horrifying sight he had never seen in his life, nor even heard of!

Who is the Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor?

That is a supreme being who truly set foot in the Immortal Emperor's domain, a towering figure standing at the peak of the Upper Immortal Realm!

His curse arts are unrivaled through the ages; he can curse-kill peak quasi-emperors across boundless territories, never missing!

But now, this Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor who masters curse arts, merely performed a single curse-kill on that white-clothed youth, and his own head fell to the ground!

How could this be?!

Could it be... that white-clothed youth is a great terror?!

Heavens!

Thinking of this, Ling Batian's hairs stood on end, his soul wailing, a deathly shadow tightly enveloping him.

He finally realized that the Profound Heaven Palace seemed to have provoked an unimaginable existence.

Plop!

Just then, the Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor's headless flesh body shuddered violently!

Immediately, a vast Immortal Emperor pressure that made the entire Curse Secret Realm tremble erupted suddenly!

Dark mist surged wildly, ghostly fire on the altar exploded, and countless curse laws at this moment all shattered and reassembled!

The next moment, the rolled-off head actually rose on its own, a mysterious Immortal Emperor primal force beyond description coiling around it!

The severed neck healed and regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Flesh regrew, tendons and bones reconnected; in the blink of an eye it returned to its original state, as if never injured!

After all, the Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor is a supreme Immortal Emperor; although just now he activated that rust-stained scissors, causing karma and curse power to backfire onto himself!

But the maximum limit of karma and curse power of those scissors was still not enough to take his life!

Of course, his imperial body also suffered unprecedented heavy damage!

The Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor's face at this moment was ashen to the extreme, both shocked and furious!

An irrepressible sense of dread and fear lingered in his heart!

He had lived for endless ages, attained the Immortal Emperor position, mastered the strange curse Dao, roamed the Upper Immortal Realm, never having suffered such a great loss, nor ever encountered such a terrifying karma backlash!

The Dao level of the opposing party far surpassed his own!

The moment his curse power touched it, it was like an ant provoking the heavens, directly crushed and reflected by a heavenly Dao–like force!

Damn it!

The Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor let out a furious roar, his voice shaking the entire hall into shattering explosively!

Countless skulls turned to flying ash, and the void split open with pitch-black fissures!

He pointed at the utterly limp Ling Batian below, his tone filled with raging fury and lingering fear, each word striking Ling Batian's heart like a thunderbolt of ten thousand jun:

Ling Batian! Tell me, old man, just what kind of existence have you provoked?!

Do you know that just now that strike almost scattered my true spirit, causing my death and the disappearance of my Dao?!

That white-clothed youth's Dao level already far exceeds mine!

If you want to die, go die yourself!

How dare you drag me down with you; do you want me to perish alongside you?!

Each sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing hard onto Ling Batian's body and soul.

Ling Batian's face turned as pale as paper, drenched in cold sweat that soaked his robes, his whole body limp on the ground, lacking even the courage to lift his head.

Immortal Emperor!!!

That white-clothed youth is actually an Immortal Emperor even more terrifying than the Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor?!

Heavens!!

His son Ling Tianyu, is he blind or just tired of living, actually daring to provoke such an existence?

Moreover, he was foolish enough to summon the Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor to attack that existence...

This is not revenge!

This is seeking one's own death!

Dragging the entire Profound Heaven Palace along, heading toward destruction together!

Senior... senior... Ling Batian's voice trembled, his soul unanchored, "Junior... junior truly does not know, that person's strength is actually terrifying to this extent..."

"You don't know?" The Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor coldly snorted, icy light piercing his eyes, "Idiot, if not for my deep foundation, that strike just now would have already felled me!"

"My last chance to act is wasted; from now on, your Profound Heaven Palace and I have no karmic ties whatsoever!"

"From now on, whether your Profound Heaven Palace is exterminated or uprooted, don't ever come looking for me again!"

Scram!

That single word 'scram' rang like heavenly Dao thunder!

Ling Batian only felt an irresistible force seize him, and in an instant he was thrown into the Cursed Secret Realm!

He stood dazedly above the clouds, his whole body ice-cold, his mind and spirit shattered.

His son was dead, his great vengeance could never be taken, and instead he provoked a supreme existence that even Immortal Emperors dread.

If the other side pursues the matter……

Profound Heaven Palace, will be destroyed!

The entire Profound Heaven Palace, up and down, will be reduced to ashes, not a chicken or dog left!

Ling Batian grew more fearful the more he thought, his legs went weak, and he fell straight from the void, his face filled with endless terror and despair.

His only luxury now is that the white-clad youth couldn't be bothered to care about his ant-like offense!

On the Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor's side, his inner fear is actually not much less than Ling Batian's!

"This idiot…… I need to go hide for a while!" the Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor muttered darkly with a solemn face.

The other side's cultivation is clearly higher than his; if they track him down by following the vine, that would be bad!!

Wah!

The Curse-Extinguishing Immortal Emperor spat another mouthful of black blood, "Damn it, the backlash continues!"

As he spoke, black mist rose from his whole body, and moments later he vanished from the spot!

At the same time, elsewhere, Li Zhangsheng in white robes stepped forward, passed through the passage, and arrived in the Upper Immortal Realm!!

Those guarding the passage couldn't sense his presence at all; he had already swept past!

"Huh?" At that moment, Li Zhangsheng felt an itch on his neck!

At the same time, an image appeared in his mind.

In the image, a grey-robed old man with grey hair held in one hand a portrait carved from an Immortal Crystal, and that portrait was exactly Li Zhangsheng's likeness!

The grey-robed old man's other hand held a pair of rust‑stained scissors, which he snipped toward the neck of Li Zhangsheng's portrait!!

As he snipped, the grey‑haired old man's own head actually rolled off!

"Someone cast a curse on me, but the outcome doesn't seem too good." Li Zhangsheng found it funny: "Profound Heaven Palace?"

In the Lower Immortal Realm's Hongmeng Immortal Domain, Li Zhangsheng once killed a person from the Upper Immortal Realm known as the Profound Heaven Palace Quasi-Immortal Emperor Orthodoxy!

Li Zhangsheng didn't think much of it; he'd deal with it handily if he ran into it later, but for now he should first go find his three disciples.

Thinking that, Li Zhangsheng took another step……
