The Origin Immortal Lord was a true god in the hearts of all the Origin Immortal Villagers, an existence that all of them kowtowed to. Without the Origin Immortal Lord, there would have been no guardians.
She had never imagined that she would be able to see the living Origin Immortal Lord in her lifetime. No other guardian had ever received such treatment, and she could now die without regrets.
“This time, if not for the threats of those men in black, I wouldn’t have come here even if I had to die.”
“Don’t you have those objects that can control the mechanisms with you? Can you not use the mechanisms here to open a passage?” an elder of the Five Ancestor Alliance asked. The Black Yin Ancestor, Bone Devil Ancestor, and Myriad Ghost Ancestor had remained silent all this time, as Wang Chong’s presence made direct questioning rather awkward. But having their subordinates ask questions was no problem at all.
“It’s useless. These bronze slabs are the final mechanism within the treasury. When I summoned them, we Origin Immortal Villagers lost the last mechanism that we had any control over, and not even I can do anything at this point. Moreover, the Immortal Lord’s holy land was built in the middle of an ore vein. It’s impossible for there to be a passage to the outside,” the Origin Immortal Chief sternly said.
Everyone’s eyes dimmed. The Origin Immortal Chief had pronounced their death sentence, and all they could do now was sit here and wait to die.
“It’s pointless. If we don’t kill that True Lord Yellow Dragon, all of us can’t even think about getting out of here alive!” A calm voice resounded in everyone’s ears, and they all turned to the center, where Wang Chong stood as straight as a spear, his eyes raised up to the golden radiance above.
No one understood more than him how frightening True Lord Yellow Dragon was. This man was just as ancient and even more powerful than the Origin Immortal Lord. The events of this northwest adventure had far exceeded Wang Chong’s wildest imagination, and he sensed that he had discovered major secrets that he had never even realized existed in his last life.
The crowd fell silent and began to follow Wang Chong’s gaze upward.
“How could such a powerful martial artist exist in this world?!” some of the martial artists muttered to themselves. It was only now that they had time to pay attention to the architects behind this crisis.
“Is that man really the Origin Immortal Lord? How is it possible for someone to live more than one thousand years?” someone else muttered. Everything had happened far too quickly. Although they had already been through numerous life-or-death battles, many of them still had no idea what was going on.
There were those mysterious men in black, the Origin Immortal Chief, and then the man that Wang Chong called ‘True Lord Yellow Dragon’ and the Origin Immortal Lord who should have been long dead… Many of the martial artists felt like their brains weren’t large enough to keep track of everything.
Even Song Yuanyi and the Lone Silence Ancestor were looking up. Everyone was quiet, too shocked to speak.
Boom! Bang! Another explosion came from above, sending a downpour of rocks mixed with the energies of True Lord Yellow Dragon and the Origin Immortal Lord cascading downward. However, more than half of these rocks smashed into the walls above, with less than half continuing the descent.
This made them much easier to avoid.
Boom!
Another thunderous boom came from above, but with even greater explosive force, seemingly intent on tearing apart the world.
The golden ball of light tore into two, with one figure sent flying back to slam into a rock wall.
“Hahaha, Origin Immortal Lord, after a thousand years, it seems like your martial arts have significantly weakened! I’d like to see what you can use to fight me! Hand over the Doomsday Insignia or only death awaits you!”
True Lord Yellow Dragon gave a strange rumbling laugh that shook the surrounding rock walls and sent even more boulders tumbling down.
Buzz!
Everyone paled at this sight.
“Not good! That man is going to win!”
“That man sealed the passage. He wants to kill all of us here!”
“It’s over! What do we do now?!”
Wang Chong and the other martial arts titans said nothing, but all the other martial artists immediately panicked. Whether it was the Origin Immortal Lord or True Lord Yellow Dragon, they had met neither of them before, as True Lord Yellow Dragon had first appeared before them as a man shrouded in golden light. However, the relationship to Wang Chong meant that they were more inclined to accept the Origin Immortal Lord.
If not even he could stop True Lord Yellow Dragon, then all of them fighting together were no match.
“What do we do? What do we do?” the martial artists cried in consternation.
Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting said nothing, but the solemnity in their eyes clearly indicated what they felt.
“Bastard! We have so many people here, almost all the elites of the martial arts world! Are we really going to just sit around doing nothing?”
The Black Yin Ancestor gnashed his teeth and angrily cursed. As one of the great demons of the martial arts world, he wouldn’t even bow his head to Song Yuanyi. But in the face of these two divine existences, he could do nothing but wait for death, a feeling that made him go crazy.
“Kid, do you have any ideas?” the Bone Devil Ancestor suddenly asked, breaking his silence.
Everyone focused on Wang Chong, falling quiet as they eyed him with anticipation.
Although Wang Chong was the Demonic Emperor’s disciple and a noble of the Imperial Court, he was not actually a member of the martial arts world, so his words should have very little authority at a time like this. But by now, everyone had forgotten his status and come to treat him as the backbone of the group.
Not even Song Yuanyi and the Black Yin Ancestor could take his place.
In truth, Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting were also looking to Wang Chong for guidance.
All was quiet as everyone awaited Wang Chong’s reply.
Senior…
Wang Chong continued to look up, his heart heavy.
All their hopes were on the Origin Immortal Lord. His current level of strength, even the strength of everyone here added together, would find it hard to intervene in a battle of that level.
There were times when pure numbers could not solve a problem.
What should I do? What should I do?
Wang Chong silently stared at the divine golden light above as his mind rapidly turned.
True Lord Yellow Dragon’s techniques had transcended the realm of martial arts. Let alone defeating the man himself, even defeating his creation, the Earth Devil, had left them all in disarray and almost wiped them out.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Wang Chong had a flash of insight, and he began to rapidly make his way toward the edge of the pit.
His actions drew everyone’s attention.
“What’s wrong?”
The crowd exchanged glances of surprises. Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting exchanged a glance as well before following.
“Kid, what did you discover?”
The Black Yin Ancestor, Myriad Ghost Ancestor, and Bone Devil Ancestor also followed.
But Wang Chong ignored these questions and began to search the bottom of the pit. He soon spotted a large black object rising like a hill.
As the crowd followed Wang Chong’s gaze, they quickly recognized what it was.
“The Earth Devil?”
The black pile of rock was clearly the Earth Devil that they had all worked together to kill not too long ago.
The Earth Devil had been nearly one hundred meters tall. Its immense weight, the height of several thousand meters, and the pull from the bottom of the abyss had enabled the fall to kill even this monster.
“What is he planning?”
Everyone questioningly looked at Wang Chong’s back.
Wang Chong continued to ignore them. He jumped onto the Earth Devil’s body and soon found its head.
“This is it!”
Wang Chong jumped up to land next to the savage head, which was taller than an adult man.
“Kill!”
Suddenly, the Earth Devil opened its eyes, a savage roar coming from its mouth.
“Ah!”
Everyone was frightened by this sudden roar. It had not moved once while they had been searching the bottom of the pit, but to their surprise, it wasn’t actually dead.
There were no natural barriers here to protect them, so the Earth Devil could kill them all in short order.
“Damn it! Run!”
An unaffiliated martial artist paled and immediately rushed to a distant rock wall so that he could climb out. But before he could run very far, plush! The thrust of a sword caused the roar to come to a sudden stop.
The martial artist turned in surprise and saw that Wang Chong, standing on the Earth Devil’s head, had plunged the Origin Immortal Sword up to the hilt into the Earth Devil’s head. The monster’s crimson eyes widened, and then they began to lose focus. Boom! The Earth Devil collapsed back to the ground.
The last sliver of vitality in its body finally vanished.
It was thoroughly and completely dead.
