CHAPTER 998: CHAPTER 769: YUAN WUJI

"We must break through!"

Golden Cloud Peak.

In a hall shrouded by a formation, dozens of Golden Immortals were gathered together.

The one speaking at the moment was surprisingly Mi Sheng Golden Immortal, the former top expert of the Shu Guang Realm and Supreme Elder of the Wanhua Immortal Sect.

He stood up and said loudly, "Is the All Worlds Alliance surrounding us without attacking because they genuinely lack the strength to take Golden Cloud Peak? No! The defense of Golden Cloud Peak is only a tier stronger than that of our Wanhua Immortal Sect. It can block top-tier Golden Immortals but can absolutely not withstand a Supreme Golden Immortal like Yuan Wuji! The reason the All Worlds Alliance suddenly became quiet is that they want to besiege and wait for reinforcements, allowing us to seek help from all sides, so they can gather all Golden Immortals who dare to resist into the Cangyun Realm and then capture them all in one sweep."

After speaking, he waved his hand fiercely: "We must not follow their intentions, letting them succeed."

"The All Worlds Alliance has already gathered a large number of experts outside Golden Cloud Peak. If we rely on the advantage of our formation, we can still entangle with them for a while. But if we rashly break through... with one misstep, the Golden Immortal Alliance will become history from now on."

A Golden Immortal, whose aura was even more imposing than that of Mi Sheng Golden Immortal, spoke.

Lan Kong.

The second strongest after the Alliance Leader Qing Qiong of the Golden Immortal Alliance.

With three Supreme Immortal Artifacts obtained from an Immortal Mansion, his combat strength was not at all inferior to top-tier Golden Immortals.

He and Qing Qiong, whose Divine Sense Ability had reached the Ninth Rank, were the only two top-tier Golden Immortals in the Golden Immortal Alliance.

"I agree with Mi Sheng’s perspective."

Another famous Golden Immortal spoke: "Prolonged defense will surely lead to defeat. If we remain inactive, it’s no different from committing slow suicide."

"We have already contacted Qing Ye and asked him to pay a high price to invite Dao Yuan to harass the All Worlds Alliance from the outside. Since the All Worlds Alliance has moved their experts to Cangyun Realm, unless they don’t want their home base, they won’t be able to hold out for long before being forced back by the Lianshan Alliance."

Lan Kong said.

"What if their target is precisely Qing Ye and Dao Yuan? We know they can act as our external support; the All Worlds Alliance knows this as well. Therefore, we must break out and establish contact with the outside world. Only then can we find hope for breaking the deadlock, rather than just sitting in the formation as we do now."

Mi Sheng Golden Immortal looked at everyone in the hall: "If it continues like this, the morale of everyone in the Golden Immortal Alliance will be worn down, and their will broken. When the real battle begins, how many will have the courage to resist remains uncertain."

These words resonated with many.

But an equal number were unwilling to take the risk of venturing out.

The hall quickly became noisy, a scene of chaos.

"Enough."

At this moment, Qing Qiong, the Alliance Leader, could no longer bear it.

She didn’t agree with Mi Sheng Golden Immortal’s strategy of besieging to wait for reinforcements, but she knew that if the Golden Immortal Alliance didn’t show inspiring achievements to boost morale or establish contact with the outside world, it might disband.

Moreover, she calculated the time; if Qing Ye from the Lianshan Alliance really received their message, he should have arrived at Cangyun Realm by now. She stood up.

"Decisive action is necessary; hesitating will only cause chaos! In such a situation, action is better than inaction!"

After speaking, this rather dignified and elegant Female Immortal swept her gaze over all the Immortals, declaring heavily, "Prepare yourselves; we are breaking through!"

"Alliance Leader..."

Lan Kong attempted to dissuade her.

But before he could speak, Qing Qiong interrupted him: "My mind is made up! I know this battle affects the life and death of our Golden Immortal Alliance, but... even if I die in battle, I refuse to be threatened by the All Worlds Alliance and ultimately surrender without a fight, or die without fighting!"

Lan Kong listened, remained silent for a moment, and finally seemed to make up his mind as well.

He said slowly: "Then let us fight."

This number two figure of the Golden Immortal Alliance stood up: "The All Worlds Alliance thinks they have us cornered, daring to adopt a strategy of besieging while not attacking, using us as bait to lure more aspirants into the net. Such behavior utterly disregards our Golden Immortal Alliance! In that case, let us take the initiative and show them our courage!"

"Indeed."

Mi Sheng Golden Immortal nodded: "What of Yuan Wuji, the Supreme Golden Immortal? Even though he’s stronger, he cannot humiliate us! Even if it means death, we shall make him bleed!"

"Heaven wishes to destroy them, first makes them arrogant! The All Worlds Alliance is now at their most arrogant and contemptuous! Once we successfully break through, they will pay for their disdain!"

Other Golden Immortals echoed in agreement.

For a time, the mood in the hall shed its former oppression.

This is not the belief that desperate soldiers are invincible.

Rather, many possess the pride of being Golden Immortals.

Forced into a desperate battle with the All Worlds Alliance, they admit defeat. But if it’s a matter of escaping their encirclement, they refuse to believe they can’t even flee.

As for whether to continue fighting the All Worlds Alliance after escaping...

They’ll decide upon observing the situation.

Perhaps...

Like the Xuanhuang Realm, venturing to explore the more expansive world of the Heart of the Cosmic is also a compelling choice.

...

One by one, the Golden Immortals quickly consolidated their elite forces around them.

Half a day later, hundreds of warships were primed and ready to launch.

With Qing Qiong’s command, the Golden Immortals leading these fleets, along with the Profound Immortals within the fleet, roared simultaneously and charged out of Golden Cloud Peak with their high morale.

Each of them fueled their Immortal Techniques and Divine Skills to the extreme, evidently prepared to break through the concentrated fire of the All World Alliance and make their way out of Cangyun Realm.

However...

The Golden Immortal Alliance appeared fierce and determined to burn with the All World Alliance.

Meanwhile, the dozens of Golden Immortals from the All World Alliance had fully gathered, forming a battle formation and were fully prepared, reaching the highest level of vigilance.

Their imposing presence made even Qing Qiong, a top-tier Golden Immortal, extremely wary, almost believing the All World Alliance was fully prepared and waiting for them to walk into the trap.

Yet, the Golden Immortals of the All World Alliance seemed not even to give them a glance.

Under the lead of Qing Qiong, a few dozen Golden Immortals and hundreds of warships rushed into the sky and flew rapidly towards the horizon, seemingly...

Soon able to escape the range of Cangyun Realm and forcefully perform space traversing to the Cosmic Starry Sky.

This outcome left Qing Qiong, Lan Kong, Mi Sheng Golden Immortal, and others bewildered.

"What’s happening!? Why isn’t the All World Alliance attacking us?"

"Could they be bluffing? Is the Alliance Leader of the All World Alliance and other top-tier Golden Immortals, renowned Golden Immortals, actually not here but outside Cangyun Realm, hunting the Lianshan Alliance?"

"Could this be an illusion? Could it be that even the Golden Immortals we’re seeing are fake, and we’ve been tricked by the All World Alliance’s empty city tactic all this time?"

These Golden Immortals were full of confusion.

Mi Sheng Golden Immortal even suggested, "Open the main cannon, fire a shot into their formation, and we’ll know whether their top experts are absent... We could collect some interest from the All World Alliance now, avenging the shame of their encirclement. If their experts are here but are ignoring our retreat... it proves they’re preparing some terrible conspiracy, and firing now could disrupt their plans."

His words received wide approval.

Even though Lan Kong didn’t want extra complications, he couldn’t stop the rising enthusiasm among the crowd.

As a Great Dao Golden Immortal initiated the warship’s main cannon on his own, a terrifying energy quickly brewed on the warship.

And this scene...

Left all the people in the All World Alliance’s formation, who were like facing a great enemy, speechless.

They discovered for the first time that their opponents could be so stupid.

Even when allowed to leave, they didn’t.

Ridiculous! They had been entangled with such foolish opponents for more than a decade.

"Truly courting death!"

The next moment, Yuan Wuji, this Supreme Golden Immortal’s figure, grew immensely with the wind, directly manifesting into an enormous giant several hundred thousand meters tall.

The giant broke the sky with one hand, reaching out towards the Golden Immortal Alliance’s fleet. In its palm, a black point kept rotating and rapidly expanding, devouring seemingly everything into darkness in just a moment.

In an instant, exclamations and shouting, accompanied by the disturbance of Divine Sense Ability and Power of Dao, emanated from all the Golden Immortals of the Golden Immortal Alliance.

"Yuan Wuji!? He can take action!"

"Not good! Retreat quickly!"

"Follow the original plan, break through!"

Qing Qiong and Lan Kong, the two top-tier Golden Immortals, showed their Divine Skills, attempting to break through the darkness.

"Utterly unaware of your limitations! I will fulfill your death wishes!"

Inside Yuan Wuji, a fluctuation of an Immortal Immortal Instrument seemed to emerge, and with the power of this Immortal Immortal Instrument, his already enormous body further expanded, transforming into a star spanning thousands of miles, devouring all light.

"Great Darkness Demon Realm!"

Under the might of this Immortal Technique, this Alliance Leader of the All World Alliance, like the Dark King dominating the night, single-handedly submerged and suppressed a few dozen Golden Immortals and hundreds of warships of the Golden Immortal Alliance.

The power exhibited was practically at a dominator level.

And it wasn’t just that!

After his incarnation of darkness devoured the entire Golden Immortal Alliance, his gaze pierced through the void and directly focused on a region: "Mice-like creatures, do you think hiding in the dark means I won’t find you!? Now is the perfect time to capture all you revolters in one swoop and send you off together!"

As Divine Sense Ability swept out, his right hand transformed into a mass of black clouds, rolling towards a section of the void thousands of miles away.

In that void, two figures appeared simultaneously, with waves of Dao matching ninety percent emanating from them, clearly two top-tier Golden Immortals.

Once they emerged, they quickly prepared powerful Immortal Techniques, attempting to tear through the darkness.

However, at this moment, within the formation formed by the All World Alliance, the Divine Sense Ability from dozens of Golden Immortals surged towards Yuan Wuji, causing the speed of the black cloud his right hand transformed into to increase dramatically, quickly engulfing the two top-tier Golden Immortals and then pressing them together with the people of the Golden Immortal Alliance.

"Relying on the power of my Wanxiang Wuguang Formation, even the Supreme Golden Immortal Zhou Huang doesn’t frighten me! If Gu Jinlai dares to appear before me, I can suppress him as well! Let alone you trivial top-tier Golden Immortal-level clowns!?"

Yuan Wuji’s Divine Thought boiled, and his Great Darkness Demon Realm seemed to churn with him, transforming into Demon Flames forged to incinerate dozens of Golden Immortals, including four top-tier Golden Immortals, to death.

"Oh, can you kill me? I don’t believe it."

At this moment, a voice drifted down from the void.

Next, within Yuan Wuji’s colossal figure, a black point rapidly expanded, devouring everything around it.

The power of destruction instantly spread outwards from the black point.
