Dark clouds gathered above Demon City. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. The pressure of Immortal Dao descended upon the city.

The Left Historian Immortal looked up at the suddenly shifting skies and swallowed hard. An immortal’s wrath could change the color of heaven and earth.

I have made thorough preparations and even set up an immortal-tier array, so how did the Silent Annihilation Immortal still sense me?

Could it be that the Silent Annihilation Immortal was also in Demon City and that I had trapped myself with her?!

But why is Qing He perfectly fine?

Did the Silent Annihilation Immortal just call Qing He “my person”? Is that the reason Qing He is safe?

“Wait, Silent Annihilation Immortal, perhaps there’s some misunderstanding between us. I can surrender just like Qing He—”

Boom!

Hui Doudou glared at him. An afterimage lingered behind as her true form turned into lightning, kicking the Left Historian Immortal to the array’s boundary. He was left dizzy and disoriented, feeling as though his organs were displaced.

“Mistress!” Qing He exclaimed with a trembling voice upon seeing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Her blood surged with emotions, and she could hardly believe her eyes. Familiar yet hazy memories surfaced, and large drops of tears rolled down her cheeks, impossible to wipe away.

After being apart for forty thousand years, the Mistress I’ve missed has finally been resurrected. This feels like a dream.

Turning around, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy saw Qing He safe and sound and broke into a wide grin. “Little He, I knew you’d be fine.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was worried that Hui Doudou had done something to her.

“Little He, wait for me. Let me deal with this so-called Left Historian Immortal first!”

Just as the Left Historian Immortal began to recover from Hui Doudou’s kick, he took a blow from the Immortal Fairy Fist Technique to his abdomen. His insides churned, and he even vomited stomach acid.

What a terrifying punch. So this is the Everlasting Immortal’s fist.

The Left Historian Immortal had become an immortal during the Ember Legacy Dynasty and had not personally experienced the ancient era where the Five Ancient Immortals ruled. However, he had heard of the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others speak of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and knew how terrifying an existence she was.

Even if she’s not yet fully resurrected and is just a soul entity, she is still not someone I can defeat!

To provoke these two, let alone me, even if all the Four Ancient Immortals joined forces, it would still be a death sentence. There’s no way out at all!

I must flee. I absolutely must flee!

Hui Doudou and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy attacked the Left Historian Immortal simultaneously, kicking him around like a ball, venting their emotions.

Finally, the Left Historian Immortal endured the pain and seized an opportunity to fly out of Demon City.

But when he reached the city’s boundary, he remembered the immortal-tier array sealing the space. He had designed it himself, and it would take only three breaths for him to break through.

However, before Hui Doudou and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, he didn’t even have time to catch his breath, much less spare time for three breaths.

Damn it! The array I have painstakingly designed has trapped me instead!

Zhu Tian had been prepared to set off with eight dragon steeds along a broad, golden path laid out before him. But the moment he saw Hui Doudou and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy appear, he silently reined in his steeds, crouched down, and began picking up the spirit fruits he had scattered earlier.

Heavens! A battle of three immortals?! Thank goodness I hadn’t gone out. If I had, it would have been disastrous!

Although he didn’t recognize the Left Historian Immortal, anyone who could warrant the Everlasting Immortal Fairy personally stepping in could only be an immortal.

Huff, huff.

Torrential rain poured down, washing over Demon City. The downpour fell on the Left Historian Immortal, evaporating instantly with a hissing sound. Steam rose, shrouding him in mist.

The Left Historian Immortal panted heavily. His wounds healed at a visible pace. He was grateful he had seized the Rejuvenation Incipient Dao Fruit from the Wooden Seal Savant. Otherwise, he would already be covered in wounds and barely clinging to his last breath.

Hui Doudou raised an eyebrow. An immortal’s body had innate regenerative abilities, but her Silent Annihilation power could suppress that regeneration. However, the Left Historian Immortal could still heal rapidly even with her suppression, which implied he had other means of recovery.

But it doesn’t matter. No methods will work before me.

Unlike the Left Historian Immortal’s world-shaking display when he had suppressed Qing He and Yun Mengmeng with a single hand, the two women fought him with simple punches and kicks—plain and unadorned moves. The Great Dao returned to simplicity; every movement encompassed its profound principles.

However, the oppressive feeling brought by the battle of the three immortals was even heavier. Everyone felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs. Without sufficient cultivation, one wasn’t even qualified to observe the battle.

“Azure Heaven Prison-Suppressing Hand!”

Ignoring his severe wounds and risking self-injury, the Left Historian Immortal unleashed the Azure Heaven Prison-Suppressing Hand. An azure hand descended from the sky, resembling the hand of heaven. Its palm was covered in runes representing law and order.

“Annihilate,” Hui Doudou coldly uttered.

The azure hand began to disintegrate from its fingertips, breaking down into primitive runes that scattered and faded away entirely.

The Left Historian Immortal produced a bunch of talismans, all immortal-tier talismans he had prepared in advance. Each one was sufficient to kill a half-immortal.

“Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire!

A crimson lotus fire blazed forth, incinerating all sins in the world. As the one who had destroyed the Ember Legacy Dynasty, Hui Doudou would be consumed by the flames and burned to nothing.

“Great Void Illusory Domain!”

A vast illusory domain expanded, attempting to trap Hui Doudou and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Even a moment’s distraction would buy him time.

“Nether World Ghost Shadows!”

Countless ghostly shadows appeared. This was a power he had accumulated in the Underworld of the Ember Legacy Dynasty. The yin energy carried by a million underworld soldiers could cause immortals to be entwined with misfortune, leaving them no time for anything else.

“Annihilate!”

Hui Doudou was completely unaffected by the illusory domain. She simply uttered the word “Annihilate” again. It represented the power of Silent Annihilation and ranked first among killing abilities in the Immortal Dao. The Four Ancient Immortals had been helpless against it, let alone the Left Historian Immortal, who didn’t even have a Dao Fruit now.

The Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire instantly dispersed before the power of Silent Annihilation, and the million underworld soldiers were reduced to ashes.

The Left Historian Immortal seized the opportunity to open his heavenly eye. Although he had lost the Insight Dao Fruit, he still knew some techniques for prospecting and divining his own fate. This was the signature ability of his Shi Huang Clan, which had been elevated to new heights in his generation.

Through his heavenly eye, he saw himself entangled by gray mist—an omen of great misfortune. It signified that the outcome of this battle would be either imprisonment or death, with no third possibility.

He acted decisively, biting his tongue and spitting out a mouthful of essence blood as he executed a mighty karmic ability. “Defying Heaven Changing Fate!”

This is a technique powerful enough to alter my own fate, turning my fate profile from gray to white and fighting for a sliver of hope!

“Constant and Unchanging!”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy activated the Everlasting Dao Fruit, fixing the Left Historian Immortal’s fate profile in place. No matter what mighty ability he performed, he wouldn’t be able to change it.

The Everlasting Dao Fruit could not only preserve the Everlasting Immortal Fairy in her original state, but could also work the same way on others.

The color drained from the Left Historian Immortal’s face. He hadn’t anticipated such a move. Even Defying Heaven Changing Fate failed. Is this the power of the head of the Five Ancient Immortals?!

Hui Doudou stepped out from the ashes of the million underworld soldiers. Her frigid eyes looked at the Left Historian Immortal as if he were no different from a corpse.

She commanded icily, her tone brooking no defiance.

“Kneel before Little He.”

With a single step, she appeared before the Left Historian Immortal. She grabbed the top of his head and pressed down hard, forcing him from the sky to the ground and down on his knees before Qing He.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy descended from the sky, grinning as she greeted, “Little He, long time no see.”
