Chapter 1065 This Immortal Heavenly Wrath is Unusual

High above the Nightfall Heights Mountains, a red serpent had emerged from the red stormy heavens and the entire mountains were trembling with constant waves of earthquakes.

The winds were also unusual strong too, with many trees being uprooted by the furious winds.

It seemed to all everyone on the Nightfall Heights Mountains that the profound aura of this red serpent was directly above them, a clear sight that someone among them was about to ascend to the Immortal Great Abyssal Realm.

This is a sight that rarely happened even in the long lives of the Ancient Race; it is because there are too many conditions to fulfill in order to ascend and it simply takes a long time of cultivation.

But today, this was an unmistakable sight!

“Someone among us is about to ascend?”

“Is it the Cardinal Tribune?!” 𝓷𝒐𝑣𝗲𝓁𝒏ℯxt.𝓒𝑶𝑀

“The Cardinal Tribune has finally succeeded and he has brought upon the Immortal Heavenly Wrath?”

Cardinal Priestess Xuan Qiaoqiao was astonished as she immediately stepped out of her Cardinal Cathedral to have a look.

It was not only her but almost everyone as well.

Xuan Qiaoqiao was soon joined by the Cardinal Patriarch, the Cardinal Pope, Millenium Jun Feitian and among many others.

However, conspicuously missing were the Cardinal Confidant and the Cardinal Harpy; no one had seen them for the past 3 days.

Xuan Qiaoqiao was also looking quite anxious as she had tried to contact Ji Yuan with the Heart Link Necklace but there was simply no transmission from him; it was as though Ji Yuan had suddenly disappeared.

So she tried to confront the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen to see where she was hiding Ji Yuan but she had also gone missing.

She could not help thinking that the Cardinal Harpy and even the Cardinal Confidant were the moles for the Abyssal King Gong Magog instead.

There were incessant mutterings among all the shocked onlookers and generally, everyone agreed that it must be Cardinal Tribune who was supposed to be facing this heavenly tribulation.

All of a sudden Xuan Qiaoqiao was gasping; it was because she had spotted Juan Xian’Er who was walking hastily in her direction.

The two of them were quickly in each other’s embrace as they greeted each other jovially.

Juan Xian’Er curiously asked, “I have just arrived back here and I am so fortunate to witness an immortal ascension?”

Xuan Qiaoqiao weakly whispered, “It is more like witnessing a funeral and collecting the heavenly relics…”

Juan Xian’Er: …

The reason why Xuan Qiaoqiao had said that was because the chances of an immortal ascension is never more than 20% and most hopeful cultivators have only between 3% to 10% rate.

Only roughly 1 in 10 of the ascending cultivators would succeed to become a true immortal.

When an immortal ascension fails, the golden bodies of the ascending cultivators would then be turned into the heavenly relics in which the stuff of divine weapons are forged of.

Juan Xian’Er asked Xuan Qiaoqiao, “Where is Ji Yuan? He should witness this if he wants to ascend as an immortal in the future.”

Xuan Qiaoqiao bitterly answered, “He is missing now.”

Juan Xian’Er: ???

“What do you mean that he is missing?”

Xuan Qiaoqiao frowned, “I really don’t know. Maybe he has returned to the Celestial Realm or he has eloped with Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng.”

Juan Xian’Er was completely baffled, “What does this have to do with the Cardinal Confidant?”

Xuan Qiaoqiao was actually quite annoyed that Ji Yuan had gone missing without informing her as she answered quite sarcastically, “She wants to pursue the Great Patriarch Sword Saint.”

“Who is this Great Patriarch Sword Saint? Don’t tell me that he is Ji Yuan?”

Juan Xian’Er could sense the sourness that was from Xuan Qiaoqiao as she giggled softly, “My Cardinal Priestess. Why don’t you tell me what had happened while I was away? I am not the furry worm in your stomach and I can’t guess what is in your mind.”

As she said that, the profound voice of the Cardinal Patriarch was reverberating loudly.

He was shouting loudly amidst the strong winds, “Anyone that is below the 5th cultivation realm quickly retreat into the underground caverns. The Immortal Heavenly Wrath is about to descend soon! I don’t want anyone to lose your lives due to your stupid curiosity!”

The Cardinal Patriarch was not joking about the dangers.

The strong winds would get even stronger soon and all the weaker cultivators would be swept away by the powerful winds.

Not only that, the Immortal Heavenly Wrath would also pack so much profound power that even a 7th realm cultivator would be killed by it.

The Cardinal Patriarch solemnly shouted, “As for the rest, stay at your own risk!”

Juan Xian’Er was suddenly looking at the gigantic red serpent that was forming from the whirling stormy red storms. “Qiaoqiao, do you think that this Immortal Heavenly Wrath looks a little unusual?”

Xuan Qiaoqiao frowned, “This is my first time witnessing it. What is so unusual about it?”

Juan Xian’Er quickly lifted her fingers as she began to divine rapidly with her fingers.

All of a sudden, she had turned ashen as she turned to look at Xuan Qiaoqiao, “This… this is not a 7th realm Immortal Heavenly Wrath but a 9th realm Immortal Heavenly Wrath! It is powerful enough to demolish the entire Nightfall Heights!”

Xuan Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes as she stammered, “Are you serious? Is it sent by the Immortal Abyssal Gong Diablo to destroy us?”

Juan Xian’Er shook her head lightly but she was also in bewilderment too, “No, this is a true ascension. Someone triggers it.”

Then she had raised her profound voice to echo her voice to the surrounding vicinity, “All the cultivators that are below the 6th realm cultivation, quickly hide in the underground caverns. Do not stay in the buildings at all!”

Many of the cultivators were stunned when they had heard Juan Xian’Er.

Xuan Qiaoqiao had also lent her authority to say, “What are you all waiting for? Are you all so eager to die? Are you trying to disobey your Cardinal Priestess?”

Juan Xian’Er could only bitterly smile when she had heard Xuan Qiaoqiao; as usual, Xuan Qiaoqiao was completely tactless.

The thousands of cultivators were all panicky retreating now, leaving only less than 200 of the 7th realm cultivators behind.

Juan Xian’Er also ordered, “Activate the profound defenses of the Nightfall Heights to the fullest. Spare no expenses!”

The Cardinal Pope, the Cardinal Patriarch, Millenium Jun Feitian and the Cardinal Herald were greatly perplexed as they walked hastily to Juan Xian’Er and Xuan Qiaoqiao.

“What is going on here? Why are we kicking a fuss like this? It isn’t like the Nightfall Heights didn’t experience an Immortal Heavenly Wrath in the past.”

Juan Xian’Er explained weakly, “This is a completely different Immortal Heavenly Wrath. In fact, I don’t know if we may even survive it.”

The Cardinal Pope, the Cardinal Patriarch, Millenium Jun Feitian, the Cardinal Herald and many others were quite startled when they had heard Juan Xian’Er.

Juan Xian’Er bitterly added, “In fact, I may even want to suggest that we all hide like the rest too.”

Everyone: …

The Cardinal Tribune was actually cultivating inside a secret cave in the mountains when the Immortal Heavenly Wrath had appeared and this shocked him.

“Someone else is going to ascend as an immortal?!”

He was the only one that probably knows that it was not him that was going to ascend.

His original plan was simple enough; first he would provoke his immortal ascension to be a true immortal and then he would use the 3 hours of grace before his eventual ascension to fly to the Royal City of Nefarious to fight with the Great Abyssal King Gong Magog.

This was a suicide plan and he knows that he had no chance of making it back alive or even ascend as a true immortal should he goes to attack the Great Abyssal King Gong Magog.

His intention was never to ascend as a true immortal but to lift the spirits of the Ancient Race and to show the other abyssal races that the Ancient Old Ones was still a strong and powerful race. In this way, he hoped that he would buy his Ancient Race a better position on the negotiating table with the Abyssal King Gong Magog.

He did not have much of a choice now; in the past 2 years alone, 3 of the most powerful patriarchs of the Ancient Race had all perished or disappeared mysteriously.

As the Cardinal Tribune was a peaked seventh realm cultivator and he did not choose to become a False Immortal, he had enough cultivation to attempt for an immortal ascension.

But despites the vast cultivation resources that were under his disposals, he was still no closer to a forceful breakthrough even after a period of several months.

But today, someone else was having an immortal ascension instead of him?!
