Chapter 689: The Sealed True Immortal

Inside the massive cyan pillar of light, more than a dozen True Immortals of the Shunxian Faction all had their eyes tightly shut, as if they were completely unaware of the great battle raging outside!

Garuoluo was fighting two True Immortals single-handedly while also having to look after Ai Yuchen at the top of the umbrella; as time dragged on, he began to feel overwhelmed!

Qixian and Changsong both pushed their Divine Sea phenomena to the limit; one could see various colors of auspicious light surging in the sky, and the vast Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was colliding as if it had become tangible!

Taking advantage of a moment between attacks, Garuoluo swept his Divine Sense toward Ai Yuchen, only to see that she was focused entirely on activating the Array Disk and paying no attention to the battle below!

"Hurry up! This one can't hold on much longer!"

Although Garuoluo was anxious, he dared not urge Ai Yuchen! After the battle had continued for nearly half an hour, the entire situation changed!

The black clouds released from the giant umbrella showed signs of fading! Their power was also far less than before, and one of the several Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators who had been trapped even managed to break free!

Witnessing this, Garuoluo's heart stirred, and a streak of black light flew directly out from his Divine Sea phenomenon, slicing that cultivator into several pieces!

"Garuoluo! You are already at the end of your rope! Why continue to struggle?"

Changsong Laodao let out a ferocious laugh! Garuoluo ignored him and continued to forcibly drive his divine abilities to attack the two of them! Just at this moment, Ai Yuchen at the top of the umbrella suddenly opened her beautiful eyes! Opening her small mouth, she spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the Array Disk!

Instantly, the Array Disk erupted with a pale red light, and immediately after, eight red tentacles resembling octopuses flashed out from it; with a swirl, they coiled toward the cyan pillar of light below!

As soon as these eight tentacles touched the cyan pillar of light, a powerful cyan glow immediately rose on the surface of the pillar, forcibly repelling the tentacles!

Seeing this, Ai Yuchen's pretty face changed slightly, and the Divine Sea within her body surged violently, pouring all her Spirit Power into the Array Disk! At the same time, the eight red tentacles grew much larger, reaching over ten zhang in thickness and a thousand zhang in length! Dancing in the air, they looked like a ferocious, giant monster!

The tentacles, now empowered, wrapped around the cyan pillar of light once again!

Boom!

Following several thunderous roars, all eight tentacles entangled the pillar, and then ripples of Spirit Power from the Array Disk surged along the tentacles toward the cyan pillar of light!

Hum!

The cyan pillar of light let out a sharp blast, its entire body erupting with dazzling auspicious light. Just as Ai Yuchen began to break the seal, the dozen or so True Immortals inside the pillar seemed to sense it! One of them moved their little finger slightly and tried hard to open their eyelids! But after trying a few times, they failed!

However, some of the spiritual perception in that person's body seemed to have recovered, and they kept trying to break free from the pillar's restraints! Seeing this, Garuoluo was overjoyed! If he could just hold on for another hour, the seal would be completely broken! It seemed that this Array Disk specially made by Li Siliang was indeed very useful!

But an hour was far too long for him! Based on the current situation, it wouldn't take long for those Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators of the Anti-Immortal Faction to break through the umbrella's restraints one after another! And the two True Immortals facing Garuoluo were even more troublesome!

Looking at Ai Yuchen at the top of the giant umbrella, she was no better off than Garuoluo! Although this Array Disk was profound, the Spirit Power it outputted was not something an ordinary cultivator could withstand!

Given her cultivation realm, it was hard to say if she could hold on for an hour! Things had reached this point; Garuoluo had no way out and could only fight with everything he had—succeed or perish!

Just as he was slightly distracted, Changsong Laodao shook his head, and his high-coiled hair bun suddenly came undone. Each strand of black hair grew in the wind, becoming a thousand zhang long in just a single breath, and struck toward the back of Garuoluo's heart!

Caught off guard, Garuoluo hurriedly sank his figure downward, while a black vortex above his head rushed down, attempting to suck the old man's long hair into it!

However, the old man's hair seemed to have a life of its own; it split into two in the middle, one strand rushing toward the black vortex above, and the other rushing to hunt down Garuoluo, who was fleeing below!

Though they looked like thin threads of silk, in the hands of a True Immortal, they were like sharp steel needles. After sacrificing several Magic Treasures in succession, although Garuoluo blocked most of the hair, three strands still pierced his body!

Feeling an intense pain piercing into his bones, Garuoluo let out a shrill roar. With a quick flip of one hand, a short black sword appeared in his palm, and he quickly slashed to cut off the three strands of hair that had pierced his body!

"Haha! Garuoluo, how does the taste of this 'Cotton-Hidden Needle' feel?"

Looking at the injured Garuoluo, Changsong Daoist laughed loudly. His hair was the sharpest Magic Treasure on his body; as long as one strand pierced into a cultivator's body, it would immediately bind their primordial spirit! Even if Garuoluo was a Three-Tier True Immortal, he probably wouldn't last long!

"Changsong! This one is not finished with you!"

Although those three strands of hair had been cut off by Garuoluo, the remaining halves remained inside his body. At this moment, the three broken hairs were pressing toward his Nascent Soul; even with forced suppression by his cultivation power, the effect was not obvious!

In a fit of rage, Garuoluo felt like rushing up to fight to the death! But if he circulated his cultivation technique now, it would only accelerate the movement of the three broken hairs!

"Not finished with me! Garuoluo, you had better see the current situation clearly! With your strength alone, you are no match for us! Not to mention that female cultivator is also about to reach her limit!"

Reminded by Changsong Laodao, Garuoluo swept his Divine Sense toward the top of the umbrella. One look made his heart turn cold! While he was being attacked, three Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators had already broken free from the umbrella's restraints and were moving toward Ai Yuchen!

At this moment, Ai Yuchen's entire mind was on activating the Array Disk; even if she wanted to strike back, it was something she simply could not do! Garuoluo wanted to go to her rescue, but it was too late!

The three Great Accomplishment cultivators discovered that Ai Yuchen couldn't move at all, and they felt a great relief. Their escape light surged, and they pounced toward the young woman!

It was easy to imagine what the consequences would be once these three got close to Ai Yuchen!

"No! Is Heaven going to destroy my Shunxian Faction?"

Roaring in agony, Garuoluo felt as if his efforts were about to fall short! He had exhausted all his strength and managed to survive until today, thinking that by bringing many Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators from the lower realms, he could turn the tide, but he hadn't expected such an outcome!

As for Changsong and Qixian, they wore cold sneers. They no longer had any interest in killing Garuoluo; as long as Ai Yuchen died and the Array Disk was destroyed, everything would be over!

Just at this moment, a powerful Spiritual Pressure descended from high above, causing everyone present to tremble slightly. This was a tremor from the depths of their souls! Completely uncontrollable!

Even the three Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators rushing toward Ai Yuchen stopped abruptly! They looked up toward the high sky, but there was nothing there; that Spiritual Pressure seemed to have appeared out of thin air!

Swish!

One of the Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators heard a very faint sound, as if a blade were quickly cutting through skin and flesh! Just as he was looking around, he felt a slight chill on his neck! Subsequently, his entire head fell from his shoulders and plummeted toward the ground!

The other two Great Accomplishment cultivators hadn't even had time to react when they each felt a chill on their necks, and the next moment, their heads were moved!

The three corpses swayed twice in mid-air, but no Nascent Soul was seen flying out; they fell straight toward the ground!

All this happened very quickly; in the blink of an eye, three Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators had died just like that!

"Who is it?"

Changsong Daoist shouted loudly. Although he hadn't seen the figure clearly, the newcomer was definitely a high-level cultivator; just that powerful Spiritual Pressure alone suggested at least Three-Tier strength!

Garuoluo was also greatly shocked; he really couldn't imagine who on his side had such great divine abilities, killing without a trace! Striking without leaving any survivors!

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Garuoluo, I've startled you; this Emperor has arrived a step late!"

Following this voice, right beside Garuoluo, space fluctuated, and a man appeared in a blur! This person wore a plain robe with a fist-sized character for 'Emperor' embroidered on the chest!

"Human... Human Emperor!"

Garuoluo widened his eyes, looking at Zhang Nuo in front of him in disbelief! At this moment, Zhang Nuo was clearly older than before; he now looked like a man of about thirty, with a mature air on his face, appearing much more steady than before!

"It is indeed Zhang! I was in seclusion within Fellow Daoist Li's 'Eight Thousand Array Dao', and without realizing it, so many years have passed in the outside world!"

Zhang Nuo said calmly, his gaze sweeping over Garuoluo, and then he said with shock and anger:

"Who hurt you? To use such despicable means!"

As he spoke, Zhang Nuo flicked his finger, and a gray light submerged into Garuoluo's body. Before long, the gray light flashed out; it was Xuanjin!

At this moment, Xuanjin's little mouth was chewing on something, and the three broken hairs inside Garuoluo's body had miraculously disappeared!

The Changsong Daoist opposite him looked shocked; he hadn't expected the newcomer to break his Cotton-Hidden Needle with just one move! After carefully sweeping his Divine Sense over Zhang Nuo, he was shocked to discover that the man in the plain robe now had the cultivation of a Nine-Tier True Immortal! Even higher than the Immortal Lord!

"It's that bull-nosed priest!"

Seeing Zhang Nuo return, and noticing that his cultivation had also advanced significantly, Garuda felt as if two windows had been opened in his heart! He pointed an angry finger at Changsong Daoist opposite him!

Zhang Nuo's gaze turned cold, and he slowly turned his head. Being stared at by his chilling gaze, the old Daoist felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and all the hairs on his body stood on end!
