"You also sensed it?"

Amidst the chaos, Song Yuanyi's voice resounded in Xie Guangting's mind.

"Do you remember the words of that leader of the three masked men?"

Buzz!

Xie Guangting paled at these words.

In the earlier battle, Wang Chong had used the inconceivable Power of Lightning to slay the three powerful leaders of the men in black in a single blow. But a few of the martial artists clearly recalled the dying words of the Tiger Immortal! This was far from over!

"Yuanyi, what do you mean?!"

Xie Guangting looked at Song Yuanyi, his expression turning solemn.

"I hope I'm wrong, but pass on my order. Tell everyone to get ready."

Song Yuanyi had left a sentence unspoken. If the situation really was what he imagined it to be, this newcomer would be someone even more powerful and frightening than the Tiger Immortal. If this was the case, then they didn't even have a chance to escape.

"Something's going on!" the Bone Devil Ancestor suddenly said at almost the same time. His brow rose and he seemed anxious and uneasy.

"I have a bad feeling. We might be in trouble!"

"Ancestor, is that brat inside causing trouble?" Wei Changting, Song Youran's once-pursuer, suddenly asked from his place behind the Bone Devil Ancestor.

"No, it doesn't seem to be him!" The Myriad Ghost Ancestor spoke up, his brow furrowing.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man, Wushang Village Chief, and Lone Silence Ancestor also raised their eyebrows in concern.

"Something's not right. This shaking isn't normal. Is Chong-er okay?"

The Wushang Village Chief looked worriedly at the dazzling Origin Immortal Palace in the fog.

"Let's wait and see. If Chong-er still doesn't come out, we'll try and find a way to force our way in," the Demonic Emperor Old Man sternly said.

Meanwhile, within the Origin Immortal Palace, the air had become tense.

This development had come too abruptly, and the information divulged in that mysterious voice's words to the Origin Immortal Lord had left Wang Chong stunned.

"Senior, who is that person? What's going on here?" Wang Chong sternly said. He currently had an extremely ill foreboding.

"That moment has finally come…"

After what seemed like a second and like countless epochs, the Origin Immortal Lord finally spoke.

"Do you remember what I said to you before? You will encounter three mortal crises in your life. And the first one is now here!"

Boom!

Wang Chong's eyes flew open. He naturally remembered the Origin Immortal Lord's words from just before, but this… it was too fast, too abrupt!

"Time is limited. Starting from now, remember every word I say. The statue you hold is my insignia and also an extremely important object for this world. Those men in black you mentioned before have come for it.

"I built these caves and secluded myself here partially to wait for you, but also to resist them and protect that insignia. More than one thousand years have passed, and though I tried my best to hide, they still managed to find me."

Wang Chong stood up and sternly said, "What is this thing? With Senior's abilities, why can't you destroy it?"

"It's not that simple. That insignia was created using the most unique materials, and nothing in this world can destroy it, not even me. In addition, I also can't just give it to someone else, including you. Remember, once you get out of here, if you can incubate the seed I gave you, then you also have to find a way to collect seven insignias like these. This will be extremely important for the coming calamity."

In the tense air, the Origin Immortal Lord's words only made Wang Chong more uneasy. The Origin Immortal Lord was the strongest person Wang Chong had ever encountered, but based on his tone, he was not sure if he could stop this new foe.

Wang Chong grimaced.

The Origin Immortal Lord seemed to want to tell Wang Chong more, but he soon grimaced and looked up, his eyes piercing through the roof of the palace.

"No time! He's here!"

His eyes penetrated through earth and space and reached the surface.

At the same time, far above the ore vein, past rocks and dirt, sixteen thousand meters above…

Whoosh!

A gale swept over a vacant piece of land, and a moment later, a man radiating heaven-sundering energy appeared at the entrance to the Origin Immortal Treasury.

This man was entirely engulfed in golden light, and all light within three feet distorted around him. Nothing could be seen of him except a pair of chilling eyes.

"Hmph!"

This mysterious figure coldly snorted as he stared at this bottomless hole that made even birds incapable of flight. Boom! The man shot forward in an explosion of energy and instantly vanished from the surface.

Deep underground, the patrolling Dragonbeasts who were seemingly restricted from entering the core area suddenly shivered. They looked in the direction of the pit and began to howl and roar.

A moment later, in a flash of golden light, that golden figure appeared in the underground caves.

The sight of this golden figure had these ancient beasts with steely and energy-resistant bodies suddenly trembling in fear, and there was terror in their eyes.

A powerful Dragonbeast even lowered its head and body to the ground, shivering all the while.

These beasts were not as intelligent as humans, but they possessed formidable bestial instinct. These fearless and vicious beasts now felt a fear that came from the depths of their soul.

Awooo!

Suddenly, one of the four Dragonbeasts seemed to shake off the fear of death and lunged at the human.

"Foul beast!"

The man merely turned his chilling eyes on the beast and cursed. A moment later, the Dragonbeast seemed to be dealt a heavy blow. It was blown back several dozen feet and dropped to the ground, dead.

A single curse had ended the life of a Dragonbeast!

In another flash of light, the man appeared next to the other three Dragonbeasts.

"Follow me!"

The man extended a finger and lightly caressed the Dragonbeasts, who became like little dogs and began to follow the man into the depths of the caves.

Boom! The man stomped forward, releasing an explosion, and then he was gone. Behind him, the three Dragonbeasts howled and followed.

……

Buzz!

Only a few seconds had passed, upon which an enormous and terrifying energy began to press down on the core region of the Origin Immortal Treasury, as heavy as a mountain.

Bang!

Before anyone could react, a golden silk boot stepped out of the dark passage and began to stride into the air.

Fierce gales began to rip through the core region, and the lanterns that still flickered on the stone bridge began to wildly sway.

Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, the Bone Devil Ancestor, and all the other martial artists sensed a terrifying pressure. It was like that golden boot was stepping not on the air, but on their shoulders.

"Wh-what's going on? I can't move?!" a young martial artist stammered, his eyes flying open and cold sweat pouring from his forehead.

He suddenly felt a fear that came from the depths of his soul, like a mouse meeting a cat or a toad meeting a snake.

This young expert was a rising star of the martial arts world who had been through many life-or-death battles, but he had never been so frightened before. No matter how powerful a foe was, as long as they were still restricted to the domain of martial arts, he could still fight with them.

But without any sort of attack, he had lost control over his body and it felt like his soul had been imprisoned. This sensation was even more frightening than death.

"Careful!"

Righteous Alliance Lord Song Yuanyi paled as he sensed this frightening pressure. Bzzz! Tough and almost tangible Stellar Energy surged out of his body, rapidly covering the Righteous Alliance disciples and repelling this pressure.

Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, the Bone Devil Ancestor, the Lone Silence Ancestor, and even the Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief began to release their Stellar Energies to protect themselves. The Bone Devil Ancestor even roared, black energy seething off his body as he turned into a savage and frightening bone devil.

The massive eyes of that skeleton gleamed with ghostly fire as they stared at that golden silk boot emerging from the passage.
