Chapter 2472: Siblings

Due to the immense pressure shrouding the Beast Bone Wasteland, apart from those powerful enough to be of the Immortal Emperor realm, immortals of other realms cannot fly for extended periods. Moreover, flying consumes a significant amount of immortal power.

Therefore, most immortals heading to the Nine Nether Thunder Sea for training choose to travel across the wasteland to conserve their immortal power.

This inevitably leads to collisions with the wandering Immortal Birds and Beasts within the Beast Bone Wasteland.

Countless powerful immortals over millions of years have met their fates in this wasteland, becoming one among the multitude of skeletons, never having glimpsed the Nine Nether Thunder Sea.

After rejuvenating at the edge of the Beast Bone Wasteland, Fang Bai finally set foot inside.

Due to the pressure, the immortals’ Divine Sense was also greatly limited within the Beast Bone Wasteland, reaching only about a hundred Baili around.

At such a distance, a surprise attack from a powerful Immortal Bird or Beast could be extremely disadvantageous.

However, this was not a problem for Fang Bai.

After entering the Beast Bone Wasteland, Fang Bai used the Beast Taming Scripture to control several Immortal King realm Immortal Birds and Beasts, dispersing them in the sky and on the ground to monitor lurking threats, ensuring his safety.

Within the vast expanse of the Beast Bone Wasteland, Fang Bai was not the only immortal making his way toward the Nine Nether Thunder Sea.

During his journey, Fang Bai occasionally encountered other immortals, almost all of whom were Immortal Emperor Realm experts.

Occasionally, there would be one or two Ninth Grade Immortal King realm experts, who were prodigies or celestial elites with innate Spiritual Roots and the ability to challenge higher levels.

The majority of these immortals practiced Thunder Immortal Technique Secrets or possessed Innate Thunder Spiritual Roots.

It was clear why they headed to the Nine Nether Thunder Sea—to train in the place that was terrifying even to discuss.

Though extremely dangerous, the Nine Nether Thunder Sea was equally filled with opportunities. The countless Thunder Attributed Cultivation Resources, including Thunder Immortal Stones within, stirred excitement in the hearts of those practicing the Thunder System, compelling them to venture forth despite knowing the danger.

Fang Bai concealed his other auras, leaving only the Thunder Immortal Qi, thus appearing to other immortals as an Eighth Grade Immortal King with an Innate Thunder Spirit Root.

Immortals with Innate Thunder Spirit Roots were naturally close to Thunder Immortal Qi and could withstand more powerful lightning strikes upon entering the Nine Nether Thunder Sea.

This way, Fang Bai, with his Eighth Grade Immortal King Cultivation Realm, would not attract unusual attention while training in the Nine Nether Thunder Sea.

The Beast Bone Wasteland had not changed much compared to a thousand years ago. However, the skeletons of immortals and Immortal Birds and Beasts had increased, and the vicious aura of bloodshed in the heavens and earth had grown stronger.

In his past life, Fang Bai had ventured to the Nine Nether Thunder Sea multiple times. Even in the current world, probably no immortal knew better than he the best shortcut for reaching the Nine Nether Thunder Sea.

Taking the shortest path to the Nine Nether Thunder Sea, Fang Bai transformed into a stream of light, quickly traversing the terrain, leaving many immortals behind and avoiding many Immortal Bird and Beast attacks, delving thousands of miles deep in no time.

The deeper he went, the more skeletons appeared in the wasteland. Fang Bai even saw the bones of powerful creatures like Dragon Bones and Phoenix Remains.

Suddenly, via a controlled Immortal Bird, Fang Bai learned of a fierce battle between immortals and a beast several hundred miles ahead.

Initially, Fang Bai intended to avoid the battle and pass by at a distance, but as he got closer, he found the auras of the two immortals fighting a beast somewhat familiar, along with their sharp shouts and angry voices.

Fang Bai approached closer, sensed carefully, and couldn’t help a look of surprised excitement to show on his face.

He sped forward, soon appearing beside the battlefield of the two male and female immortals and the two beasts.

The two battling immortals, a male and female, noticed Fang Bai but were unsure whether he was friend or foe, unable to spare any attention to examine him.

In Fang Bai’s eyes, the two immortals had disguised themselves and concealed part of their auras with a secret technique, which might fool other immortals but couldn’t deceive Fang Bai.

Because the disguising and aura-concealing techniques they used were taught by Fang Bai in his previous life.

Indeed, those two were disciples of the former Emperor’s Palace and two of the seventy-two minor war generals under Fang Bai’s command, with the male known as the "Xielei Immortal Emperor" and the female as "Fairy Yun Lei."

Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei were siblings. A thousand years ago, their cultivation level was at the initial Immortal Emperor Realm. Now, they were at the mid-Immortal Emperor Realm.

To have advanced one small realm under full pursuit by the eight top powers over a thousand years was, in Fang Bai’s view, quite remarkable.

Out of the one hundred and eight major and minor war generals from the former Emperor’s Palace, most perished in the Emperor’s Palace’s downfall. To meet Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei again here made Fang Bai understandably excited and joyful.

Both siblings practiced Thunder Techniques. Naturally, they came to the Nine Nether Thunder Sea for training, only to be attacked by a powerful Immortal Beast on their way.

The formidable Immortal Beast was a Cloud-Piercing Leopard, agile in speed, its combat power very near to a high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert. Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei could only match its strength by joining forces.

Seeing the siblings not facing immediate defeat, Fang Bai watched leisurely from the side, preparing to advise when the crucial moment arrived.

Although Fang Bai’s cultivation level was still low, his insight surpassed that of any immortals. He identified several flaws in the Cloud-Piercing Leopard’s attacks. By voicing guidance to Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei, he could help them gain an upper hand and secure victory in this confrontation.

The technique Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei were using was a dual-combat formation taught by Fang Bai in his previous life, capable of multiplying their combat power. In addition, the Immortal Artifacts in their hands were also crafted by the former Fang Bai, extraordinary in power, allowing them to contend with the Cloud-Piercing Leopard, one realm stronger than them.

If replaced by other immortals of the same realm, they might have already fallen under the Cloud-Piercing Leopard’s fierce assault.

A hundred breaths later, Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei finally began showing signs of defeat.

Fearing being seen by other passing immortals, Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei dared not use the Emperor’s Palace’s Immortal Technique Secrets, otherwise, their battle power would be stronger, and endurance longer. But getting witnessed by other immortals would be disastrous.

"Both of you, simultaneously unleash the Thunderstrike Roar Technique Art, aim one at its head and the other at its leopard tail!"

Fang Bai communicated to Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei.

The voice of Fang Bai was exceedingly familiar to Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei, one they were unconditionally obedient to. Upon hearing his voice, almost instinctively, they unleashed the Thunderstrike Roar Technique Art, targeting the Cloud-Piercing Leopard’s weak spots as Fang Bai instructed.

The Cloud-Piercing Leopard was about to unleash a thunderous roar and lash its tail in a lightning attack when, unexpectedly, its brewing assault was blocked by Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei’s strikes, sealing its intended attack.

It was as if someone trying to speak had their mouth covered, unable to utter a word, causing the Cloud-Piercing Leopard great discomfort.
