Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 597 - 460 The Curtain Falls on Xuanyang 2 Immortals! [2nd Release, Asking for Monthly Tickets!]_2
"All of you, give me your lives!"
"Feed my gourd!"
The black fog swept through. Wherever it passed, anyone touched, regardless of whether they were in the First Realm or Fourth Realm, was invaded by the filthy and wicked Qi. It clung to their mana and flesh, leaving their bodies reeking foul and emitting streams of black gas and dark mist, making the Yellow Jade Gourd’s power even greater.
It was unfortunate that these Demon Kings and villains suffered such misfortune.
"It’s over!"
"Run!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Quickly, flee!"
A group of Fourth-order cultivators was terrified out of their wits, cursing Qizhenzi and the Black Vulture Emperor in their hearts.
But none dared delay a moment.
In the blink of an eye, around Xuanyang Mountain, chaos erupted, turning the entire place into a frenzied scene of Fourth-order cultivators scattering in retreat. Qizhenzi, like a sinister maggot, specifically targeted the densest crowds while running, while the Black Vulture Emperor showed no concern for collateral damage. Instead, he took deliberate pleasure in using these people to feed his magical treasure, wielding an Immortal Artifact and directing the black fog in a sweeping rampage.
The ’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong also took advantage of the chaos, slaughtering and recovering his strength using the ’Heaven Mending Seal.’
The grand battle devolved into complete disorder.
Pursuit and chaotic clashes followed.
The Black Vulture Emperor, a dignified True Immortal, failed to catch the elusive ’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi and vented his wrath on the Fourth-order Demon Kings and villains present.
The wanton killing and entanglement continued.
The Xuanyang Two Immortals hovered without departing, fighting strategically, while the Black Vulture True Monarch relentlessly pursued without regard for his reputation, always lingering close behind.
High above in the clouds.
The East River Palace Master saw through a bit of their scheme and shook his head, saying, "Still playing such tricks with two Upper Immortals!"
"The Black Vulture Old Ghost truly grows more foolish as he ages."
The Qianming Palace Master also saw through the plot.
She chuckled lightly, her gaze shifting, and her lips subtly moved.
The East River Palace Master glanced at her, gave a knowing smile, but said nothing.
Down below.
Chen Jichuan was using ’Wind Thunder Walking’ to keep the Black Vulture Emperor at bay, buying time. Suddenly, a voice echoed beside his ear: "Little Daoist, the Black Vulture Old Ghost is deploying a formation with filthy Qi. Quickly break out, or it’ll be too late when he activates it!"
"Formation?"
Chen Jichuan, immersed in evading the Black Vulture Emperor’s pursuit, hadn’t noticed much else. Hearing the warning, his eyes flashed as he surveyed the surroundings. Among the mountains and rivers nearby, faint traces of filthy Qi dotted the area. At first glance, they appeared to be mere remnants of the battle, but upon closer inspection, he realized each trace adhered to specific positions, connecting into a sinister and vicious array.
"How dangerous!"
Chen Jichuan felt a chill in his heart.
This is the caliber of a True Immortal!
They have vast lifespans and aren’t bound to Immortal Sects like Yu Ming Immortal Venerable or Bixia Immortal Venerable. True Immortals possess endless methods and countless trump cards—far surpassing those few sect-bound Immortal Venerables with stunted potential, and beyond what mere Fourth-orders can imagine.
Even Chen Jichuan nearly fell for the trap.
Thankfully, someone warned him.
Chen Jichuan recognized the voice—it was the Qianming Palace Master of his sect, who had gifted him the ’Primordial Heart Fruit’ during the Dayan Victory Conference. After the conference, when he returned to his mountain gate, he had personally visited Qianming Palace to express his gratitude, so he was familiar with her voice.
Unexpectedly, this battle also drew the attention of the Qianming Palace Master.
Though he wondered whether his teacher, the East River Palace Master, had come as well.
Chen Jichuan couldn’t dwell on such thoughts.
"I need to break out first!"
He was unsure if he could withstand the activation of this formation, so he feigned entanglement while discreetly maneuvering toward the edge of the array.
Elsewhere.
The ’Five Thunders Immortal’ Dai Zong also utilized Earth Escape to swiftly distance himself, avoiding the formation’s strike zone.
"Huh?"
The Black Vulture Emperor initially noticed nothing amiss.
But when he saw ’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi inching closer to the array’s perimeter, then glanced at ’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong’s sudden disappearance, he realized his trap had been discovered.
Without hesitation, he ceased his preparation.
"Go!"
He tossed the Yellow Jade Gourd into the air.
Buzz!
A resonating hum.
The next second, filthy Qi hidden among the mountains and rivers erupted simultaneously. With the Yellow Jade Gourd at its center, a demonic array engulfed a radius of a million miles.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The filthy Qi surged like dragons!
"What an array!"
At the array’s edge, the ’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi faced two filthy black dragons barring his escape. Without lingering, he stepped on Wind Thunder, bolting forward while conjuring Five Thunders in his palm.
Boom! Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He shattered the two filthy black dragons into pieces, then twisted his Wind Thunder and stormed out of the array.
Elsewhere.
The ’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong’s Earth Escape stalled for a moment. He empowered himself with the ’Vajra Mantra’ and charged toward the blocking dragon. He broke through the array but emerged dimmed, his golden light markedly faded. Unnoticed, a trace of filthy Qi had invaded his body, rampantly spreading within, leaving his frame emitting an unbearable stench.
He realized he must suppress and refine it quickly, or this avatar would be lost.
"Filthy Qi!"
"What foul luck!"
The Black Vulture Emperor, despite being a dignified True Immortal, employed remarkably repulsive tactics.
Chen Jichuan silently scorned.
But looking back, he saw that with the formation’s eruption, even the Demon Kings and villains who had fled the battle zone earlier had been afflicted with the wicked Qi inside them. One by one, their faces paled—many would need to retreat into secluded cultivation for thousands of years to recover, a fate also shared by some from the White Dove Territory.
"This should be enough!"
Chen Jichuan felt satisfied.
Over in White Dove Territory, the array formation was nearing completion. While he couldn’t defeat the Black Vulture Emperor in this battle, neither could he claim outright defeat; the fight alone was bound to shake the Four Realms. Its aftermath would ripple on, drawing widespread attention—the Xuanyang Two Immortals would be the primary focus, even for many demons and monsters in the Barbaric lands.
"Let me feign a retreat to divert their attention away from White Dove Territory."
Chen Jichuan devised his next move.
Thus, the ’Five Thunders Immortal’ Qizhenzi, staggering and hurrying, fled headlong into the depths of the Barbaric lands without looking back. Meanwhile, the ’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong, reeking of filth, burrowed deep into the earth, using the mountains to somewhat mask his repulsive stench.
Across the region.
Several True Immortals and numerous demons watched as the two immortals fled. Some entities began plotting while demons quietly pursued them.
"Trying to escape?!"
The Black Vulture Emperor furrowed his brow, ignoring Qizhenzi, and turned directly toward ’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong’s escape route.
He knew well that with Qizhenzi’s speed, pursuing him was futile. But the ’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong seemed limited to Earth Escape, which wasn’t fast enough. Moreover, the filthy Qi afflicting him allowed the Black Vulture Emperor to track him even from tens of thousands of miles away, ensuring he wouldn’t lose his trail.
Thus, he took off in pursuit.
"Wind Thunder."
"This ’Five Thunders Immortal’s Wind Thunder Steps has an air of our Daoist Madness Step."
In the skies above.
The East River Palace Master observed Qizhenzi crashing through the formation with his roaring Wind Thunder steps and couldn’t help but praise him.
The Qianming Palace Master added, "Madness Step excels in ’speed’ and ’derangement,’ containing a hint of madness. This little Daoist’s ’Wind Thunder Steps’ are utterly strong and swift, and that ferocity does share a touch of madness."
She then glanced at the East River Palace Master and said, "Brother East River, since we’re out here, how about you go down and spar with the Black Vulture Old Ghost?"
"No need."
The East River Palace Master shook his head.
Understanding dawned upon the Qianming Palace Master as she glanced toward the White Dove Territory. She smiled knowingly and said no more, descending into the Barbaric lands to intercept the Black Vulture Emperor. With a delicate flick of her jade fingers, the winds and flames gathered across the land, blocking his route.
"Qianming Palace Master!"
The Black Vulture Emperor’s expression shifted upon seeing her, promptly redirecting his escape without hesitation.
"Black Vulture Daoist, why so hurried?"
The Qianming Palace Master teased with a soft laugh, pursuing him, her movements stirring winds and flames that engulfed the skies. She engaged him in battle.
"Qianming!"
Anger and surprise swirled within the Black Vulture Emperor as he wielded his treasured gourd, refusing to fight head-on and focusing solely on fleeing. Internally, he cursed: "As I thought! As I thought! These Xuanyang Two Immortals were Daoist sect pawns, deliberately luring me out!"
A mix of shock, rage, and regret overtook him.
In the Barbaric lands, an intense clash erupted.
This time, it was a genuine True Immortal duel. Unfortunately, with the winds and flames isolating the battlefield, no one could discern what transpired inside.
The outcomes remain unknown.
But the battle at Xuanyang Mountain, pitting the Xuanyang Two Immortals, has come to a close!
