C2700 CHAPTER2700
It was clear that Ye Cangmu, at the Seventh Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, was outclassed by Huang Tianqi, who was a full tier higher at the Eighth Stage. He stood no chance against Huang Tianqi.
"Ha! Ye Cangmu, you think you can come into my Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect and cause trouble with that meager strength of yours? You're practically begging for death, and I'm more than happy to oblige," Huang Tianqi boasted, his laughter echoing with satisfaction. With a flourish, he brandished his hefty blade and lunged at Ye Cangmu once more.
"Fool," Ye Cangmu retorted, a chilling smirk on his face. "Do you really think I'd come here unprepared, ready to throw my life away? I'm not that naive."
Huang Tianqi's face twisted at the words, a flicker of doubt crossing his features. And then, he felt it—a foreboding presence. Looking up, he saw the black-robed young man who had been by Ye Cangmu's side, now standing aloof in the sky, hands clasped behind his back. Huang Tianqi recognized him as the first-grade Celestial Immortal, but had previously dismissed him as inconsequential.
But now, as the young man made his move, Huang Tianqi's complacency shattered. Towering behind the figure in black was a monolithic stone tablet, emanating a force so destructive that even Huang Tianqi, with his formidable Eighth Stage Heavenly Immortal prowess, was struck with fear.
"How... How is this possible?" Huang Tianqi gasped, his confidence waning in the face of this unforeseen threat.
Huang Tianqi had never imagined that a mere first-grade Sky Immortal, whom he had disregarded, could unleash such a formidable force. It appeared that the black-clad youth standing before him was the very reason Ye Cangmu had the audacity to confront the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect.
As Huang Tianqi grappled with his shock, a fearsome destructive light burst forth from the Heaven Suppressing Immortal Tablet above, engulfing him and the surrounding thousand feet in an instant. At that moment, Huang Tianqi felt his soul teetering on the brink, his entire essence shrouded by the specter of death.
With a furious roar, he unleashed the Celestial Immortal energy within him to its fullest extent. His longsword thrashed wildly, carving through the air with a 300-meter long saber qi that sliced in every direction. Huang Tianqi struck six times in rapid succession, each saber intent shining with a brilliant immortal glow, coalescing into a nine-palace grid overhead to counter the impending doom.
Yet, despite Huang Tianqi's desperate onslaught, his efforts crumbled like paper upon contact with the overwhelming force bearing down upon him. His defenses were shattered in an instant, reduced to nothingness.
Panic-stricken, Huang Tianqi frantically channeled the Heaven Immortal strength within him, attempting to mount a defense. But it was in vain. Against the overwhelming power poised to obliterate all in its path, the energy from his tier 8 Heavenly Immortal Realm proved utterly ineffectual. All he could do was watch in helpless horror as the destructive immortal light consumed him.
"No..." The word barely escaped his lips, a cry of despair and terror, before his body and soul were annihilated by the force of the Immortal Monument.
"This Immortal Vanquishing Power is truly formidable. I suspect even a ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal would struggle to endure it," Peter Parker remarked, unable to contain his astonishment at witnessing Huang Tianqi's demise from a single blow.
However, while the Immortal Extinguishing Power was indeed mighty, capable of challenging even a Ninth Grade Heavenly Immortal, its true potential lay in its element of surprise against an unprepared adversary.
Had Ye Cangmu not captured Huang Tianqi's attention moments earlier, he would have been defenseless. Even with Huang Tianqi's formidable eighth-grade Heaven Immortal cultivation, while he might not have been able to withstand the full brunt of the immortal annihilation, escaping would have been well within his capabilities.
It was clear that defeating an eighth-grade, or even a ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal using the Immortal Extermination Force would be no simple feat.
"Did he just... kill him?" Ye Cangmu gaped at the unfolding scene, his mind reeling from the shock for quite some time.
Not too long ago, Ye Cangmu had been stunned to learn that Peter Parker had managed to slay Huang Wencheng, who was at the Seventh Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm. It was beyond his wildest imagination that Huang Tianqi, at the Eighth Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm, would fall to Peter Parker with a single, decisive blow.
Even with the aid of an immensely powerful immortal treasure, the feat was nothing short of miraculous.
"Elder Tian Qi is dead!" The sight of Huang Tianqi being obliterated by the black-robed youth, leaving not even a trace behind, drained the color from the faces of the remaining Celestial Immortals of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. They looked as if they were mourning the loss of their own kin.
Huang Tianqi was the last of the five great experts presiding over the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. With his demise at the hands of this mysterious black-robed adversary, what hope did the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect have to mount a defense?
Moreover, aside from the black-robed youth, there was also Ye Cangmu, a formidable Level Seven Heavenly Immortal.
"Quick... inform the Sect Master!" In a state of sheer panic, one of the fourth-grade Heavenly Immortals shouted. He then scrambled away in a desperate attempt to flee to the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, much like a terrified stray dog.
Witnessing the escape attempt, Ye Cangmu launched a bold attack, slamming his palm onto the fleeing fourth-grade Celestial Immortal. The force felt like a mountain crashing down upon him, smashing him into the earth from midair, his body instantly reduced to a mere pool of blood.
Within both the Profound Medical Immortal Sect and the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, those of the Heavenly Immortal Realm held extraordinary status. Ye Cangmu was not about to let the Heavenly Immortals of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect slip away without a fight.
With a series of deft maneuvers, Ye Cangmu dispatched several Celestial Immortals from the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. The remaining disciples of the sect witnessed the horrifying scene, rendered as silent as cicadas in the dead of winter, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
"Peter, I'm worried that Huang Tianhua, the Sect Master of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, will soon discover what's transpired here. We should make our exit immediately," Ye Cangmu suggested, having just dealt with a few of the sect's Heaven Immortals.
"There's no need to rush. We can't just leave without taking a little something for ourselves," replied Peter Parker, his smile barely perceptible as he confidently strode into the sect's grounds.
Despite its rapid growth, the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect was still relatively insignificant and lacked a solid foundation. It also had no protective immortal formation to speak of. Peter Parker entered the sect unobstructed, his Immortal Sense quickly leading him to the sect's treasure vault. He helped himself to all the immortal stones and treasures, stowing them securely in his pockets.
Having thoroughly plundered the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, Peter Parker and Ye Cangmu made their swift departure, leaving behind a multitude of disciples frozen in fear.
