Volume 14, Chapter 894 – Successfully Escaping

Because the sword qi appeared too abruptly, it instantly attracted the attention of many evil spirits and immortals. They halted and observed, only to discover that the sword qi had pierced through the spatial barrier within the Divine Sense Shield, and then, like scissors slicing through fabric, it effortlessly tore open a massive rift.

“How is this possible?”

At that moment, everyone widened their eyes in shock, because all of them understood just how tough the spatial barriers of the Immortal Realm were… so much so that even an existence at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm wouldn’t be able to tear through it so easily.

“Could it be a Celestial descending?”

Some immortals speculated.

“If it really is a Celestial, aren’t we all doomed?”

The evil spirits, who had just managed to catch their breath, instantly felt their hearts drop again.

“That can’t be a Celestial descending. First of all, just like us immortals, Celestials can’t descend to the lower realms so easily. Second, while that sword qi looked frightening, it hasn’t even reached the Earth Immortal level. With that degree of power, how could it possibly shatter the spatial barrier of the Immortal Realm?”

Yan Yi, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Alliance, with his formidable strength and extensive experience, immediately sensed something was off.

“No, what’s been broken is the spatial barrier of the Cultivation Realm, not the Immortal Realm.”

Yan Yi instantly realized this and, combining it with the assimilation power on Qi Huang’s body, his expression changed drastically. “Not good! She’s arranged for someone to break open space in the Cultivation Realm, intending to escape to the lower realm. Everyone, hurry and follow me! Break this Divine Sense Shield!”

Having said that, Yan Yi charged straight toward Xiannu Planet. The sword in his hand erupted with radiant sword qi, carrying a terrifying momentum as he slashed toward the Divine Sense Shield.

Qi Huang was multitasking, constantly releasing her assimilation domain to envelop the entire Xiannu Planet while simultaneously reinforcing the Divine Sense Shield with her Divine Sense.

BOOM…!

The sword qi collided with the Divine Sense Shield, unleashing a thunderous explosion that shook the soul. The terrifying spatial tremor instantly tore apart many nearby Immortal Alliance disciples.

Qi Huang felt a sharp pain in her head and hurried to refocus her mind. She was thankful that this Grand Elder of the Immortal Alliance was only at the fourth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. If his realm had been on par with her Divine Sense, that earlier strike would’ve shattered her Divine Sense Shield.

Behind him, the Immortal Alliance disciples fearlessly charged forward, fiercely attacking the Divine Sense Shield. Although their individual strength was lacking, their sheer numbers made them a force that couldn’t be ignored.

Qi Huang’s pressure increased sharply. Her willow-shaped brows knit slightly from the pain, but thankfully, her persistence was paying off. The assimilation domain had now enveloped the entire Xiannu Planet and the surrounding space. All five elemental spiritual energies had been assimilated, and since the demon tree could no longer absorb fire spiritual energy, it naturally ceased growing, and its pollen lost its power.

The evil spirits finally let out a sigh of relief. However, because Xiannu Planet was so massive, they still found it difficult to move freely.

At the same time, Cheng Hongling had already carved a large arc-shaped spatial rift across the spatial barrier, gradually encircling the entire Xiannu Planet.

Seeing that Qi Huang and Cheng Hongling still needed time, An Xuan turned and charged toward Xiannu Planet.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Yin Wan roared and chased after her.

An Xuan didn’t engage in a direct confrontation. Instead, she sped around Xiannu Planet in wide arcs, releasing terrifying corpse poison as she went, rapidly blanketing the entire planet.

Yin Wan didn’t dare act carelessly and quickly wrapped himself in True Qi, but the less powerful Immortal Alliance disciples weren’t so lucky.

“Ah!”

Millions of Immortal Alliance disciples screamed and struggled within the corpse poison. Their feeble bodies were quickly corroded, and before long, these once lofty immortals became zombies only to be mercilessly slain by their own comrades.

Qi Huang’s burden suddenly lightened considerably. Taking the opportunity, she called down to the evil spirits below. “As you can all see, we are now surrounded by Immortal Alliance forces. If you want to ‘survive,’ there’s only one path: to follow me to the lower realm.”

She then added, “Of course, this National Preceptor does not wish to force anyone. If there’s someone who prefers to die for their beliefs, I’ll gladly let them out to fight to their heart’s content.”

“National Preceptor, save us! We’re willing to follow you to the lower realm!”

“We’ve been suppressed by that demon tree until there’s nothing left of our strength. If we go out to fight now, we’ll only be helping the enemy!”

“National Preceptor, take me to the lower realm! I’m willing to… no, I mean, I’m willing to plant flowers and grass for the Ghost Clan for a lifetime!”

The evil spirits pleaded one after another. Because of the Solar Tree’s suppression, most of their power had already dropped below the Human Demon level. Naturally, they lacked the courage to rush out and fight now.

Qi Huang smiled in satisfaction upon hearing this. As long as Cheng Hongling could finish opening a wide enough passage, she could escape with all these “laborers.”

“Damn it!”

Seeing success slip through his fingers, Yan Yi cursed with complete disregard for decorum. With a flick of his right hand, his sword suddenly split into four blades and shot toward the east, south, west, and north of Xiannu Planet. The blades rapidly expanded into massive mountain-sized swords, their smooth surfaces gleaming like mirrors, and the intricate runes etched into them shone with divine radiance under the star’s light as they blasted toward Xiannu Planet.

Zzzzz…

Under these four powerful beams of light, An Xuan’s corpse poison melted away like ice.

The beams then pierced through the remaining poison and slammed into the Divine Sense Shield.

Qi Huang felt the pressure mounting again and quickly gathered her Divine Sense to block them.

“If you want to live, then hurry the hell up.”

An Xuan took a moment to urge them on. Although her strength was on par with Yin Wan’s, as the Immortal Alliance leader, he enjoyed the favor of the Heavenly Dao and possessed numerous heaven-defying spells and treasures. There was no way she could win a prolonged fight.

Qi Huang was anxious as well, but she simply couldn’t spare the strength to assist.

Thankfully, Cheng Hongling didn’t disappoint her. Soon, a massive circular spatial rift was carved out, surrounding the entire Xiannu Planet.

Qi Huang knew the time had come. She bit her lip gently, and the boundless demonic hair behind her head surged forward, sweeping toward Yan Yi.

Startled, Yan Yi had no choice but to cancel his sword formation and defend himself.

Seizing the chance, Qi Huang wrapped her Divine Sense around the entire planet and the surrounding space, then forcefully pushed downward.

BOOM…!

With that, the entire area within the circular rift, Xiannu Planet and all, began sinking toward the Cultivation Realm, driven by the immense force of her Divine Sense.

“They’re going!”

Qi Huang shouted to An Xuan in passing.

An Xuan abandoned her pursuit and dove into the massive circular spatial rift after Xiannu Planet. With her own assimilation domain, she could naturally come and go as she pleased.

The Immortal Alliance members all rushed over, only to watch helplessly as the planet vanished from sight. None of them had the ability to wield assimilation power.

“Damn it! They actually escaped like that.”

The Ziji Immortal Emperor cursed loudly.

“Isn’t that because all of you were useless? So many of you, and none could break that Divine Sense Shield. What a disgrace.”

Yin Wan sneered without holding back. He had thought they could wipe out the evil spirits in one clean sweep. Who would’ve guessed that not only did they lose tens of thousands of Immortal Alliance disciples, but the Solar Tree was also taken. This was a total defeat.

“You…”

The Ziji Immortal Emperor wanted to retort, but in the end, he swallowed his anger. This wasn’t Ziji City, and his imperial weapon was useless here.

“Let’s all calm down. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. She took away so many evil spirits, that means there aren’t many left in the Immortal Realm.”

Yan Yi tried to smooth things over.

“Elder Yan, letting the tiger return to the mountain… how do you know they won’t come back? It’s indeed hard to go from the Immortal Realm to the Cultivation Realm, but going the other way? That’s practically effortless.”

Yin Wan shot back.

“Uh…”

Yan Yi was speechless.

“Damn it! If the Celestials let us use assimilation power, I’d chase them to the ends of the earth.”

The Ziji Immortal Emperor’s face was twisted with frustration.

“Dream on. That’s power from a foreign Heavenly Dao. Why would the Celestials ever let you use it?”

Yin Wan glared at him, then barked, “All of you, stay here and guard the area! This Alliance Leader needs time to think about how to deal with this mess.”

Qi Huang didn’t dare let her guard down. She continued using her Divine Sense and the teleportation gate to flee across the Cultivation Realm with Xiannu Planet until she was far from the spatial rift.

“Ha ha! So this is the Cultivation Realm? We’re saved! We’re really saved!”

“Thank you, National Preceptor! Thank you!”

“But how will we go back?”

“Go back? With your current strength? That’d be suicide. Better to stay in the Cultivation Realm for life. At least there are no immortals hunting us here.”

The evil spirits erupted into joyous cheers.

“Are you alright?”

Cheng Hongling asked with concern.

“I’m fine!”

Qi Huang forced a smile, though the exhaustion on her face was unmistakable.

Cheng Hongling sighed helplessly, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her lover’s brow.

Qi Huang’s entire body finally began to relax, but just then, An Xuan spoke up.

“Are you two a main body and a doppelgänger? Why do you look more like a couple?”

Her teasing tone was light, her beautiful eyes flicking playfully between Qi Huang and Cheng Hongling.

Qi Huang awkwardly signaled for her lover to put the handkerchief away, then turned to An Xuan and said, “Can we talk seriously for a moment?”
