"Sun Daoist, why the rush?" Lu Qingfeng''s voice resonated, echoing through the void interlayer.

    Sun Daoist ignored him completely, his head down as he sprinted madly. The qi mechanism of the Heavenly Realm became increasingly distinct, and a bright gleam appeared in Sun Daoist''s eyes, "I''m there!"

    Without hesitation.

    He raised his hand and cast out Fiery Fire, burning through the void and shattering the nothingness ahead.

    Whoosh!

    A wave of dense Spiritual Energy hit his face, and the qi mechanism of the Heavenly Realm became instantly crystal clear. Even amidst the shattered void, an expanse of sea was revealed—it was the territory of the Heavenly Realm.

    "Guang Yuan."

    "For today''s enmity, this Daoist shall repay you a hundredfold another day!"

    Sun Daoist finally dared to speak out, stepping into the Heavenly Realm with one foot and shouting in furious indignation.

    "Oh?"

    Just then, a breath of air came from beside his ear. Sun Daoist turned his head to look, only to find that, somehow, Lu Qingfeng had appeared before him. Five-Colored Divine Light soared to the sky, about to sweep over him.

    "Not good!"

    "Quick!"

    Sun Daoist was indeed decisive; seeing the Five-Colored Divine Light in an instant, he promptly sacrificed the Sun Sword in his hand and struck at Lu Qingfeng. This was truly like ''throwing a meat bun at a dog''—the Divine Light descended, and the Sun Sword fell into Lu Qingfeng''s hands.

    "Sun Sword."

    Sun Daoist had anticipated this, it was but a desperate measure. Nonetheless, his face showed a pained expression.

    This Sun Sword was the opportunity for his ascension in a previous life.

    Others did not know.

    He, together with Shaoyang and Zhongyang, was actually one of three brothers born of the same mother. They embarked on the path of cultivation together, entering the lineage of Taoyuan Cave. Later on, by a fortunate coincidence, they obtained the Three Suns One Qi Sword.

    Divided into the ''Shaoyang Sword'', ''Zhongyang Sword'', and ''Sun Sword''.

    A single sword was already a First Rank Immortal Artifact, outstanding on its own.

    Once the three swords combined into the Three Suns One Qi Sword, its power almost rivaled a Second Rank Immortal Artifact.

    Truly formidable.

    Therefore, the three brothers were well-known in the Earth Immortal World, even within the space of a square inch.

    Along with the Three Suns One Qi Sword, they also obtained the Three Suns Immortal Technique, mastering the art of controlling Fiery Fire.

    Unfortunately, they encountered Lu Qingfeng.

    Before the Three Suns One Qi Sword could be united, Lu Qingfeng seized one of them.

    Now, all three swords had fallen into Lu Qingfeng''s hands.

    The Three Suns Immortal Technique was not insignificant, but only in comparison to the True Sect Level. Compared to Lu Qingfeng''s Mysterious Level and Supreme Level Cultivation Techniques, his Divine Skills, and Great Divine Powers, it was barely worth mentioning.

    Enduring the pain, Sun Daoist collected his thoughts.

    Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Qingfeng was gathering the Sun Sword with the Five-Colored Divine Light, Sun Daoist stepped his other foot into the Heavenly Realm, and the void immediately began to heal.

    But Lu Qingfeng, delayed by the Sun Sword, was no longer able to pursue.

    Standing above an unnamed sea area in the Heavenly Realm, Sun Daoist looked back at Lu Qingfeng, whose figure was obscured, his eyes flashing with cold light.

    The hatred of having his treasure stolen.

    The enmity of fratricide.

    Mixed together, Sun Daoist said coldly, "Guang Yuan, in the days to come in the Heavenly Realm, your head will surely be mine!"

    As he spoke.

    Yet he saw that Guang Yuan held the Sun Sword in his hand, his face a mask of perplexity.

    "Hm?"

    Sun Daoist had a sudden premonition of doom. Turning around, he saw a colossal mountain rise from the sea within, lifting billions of tons of water and setting off boundless tsunamis.

    The world itself was shocked.

    "What is this?!"

    Sun Daoist''s eyes bulged, a formidable qi mechanism locking onto him, causing his hairs to stand on end. Mana surged crazily, the Three Suns Immortal Technique drawing upon the Arrogant Sun above, bringing down the Fiery Fire True Flame, roaring into life, scorching all around, and unexpectedly he managed to break a gap.

    He fled at once!

    In the deep sea moment of the tsunami.

    Four whisker-like ribbons with strange patterns on them appeared, upon closer inspection, hair-like barbs could be seen.

    Called whiskers only in comparison to the entire sea area. In reality, each whisker-like ribbon was as long and expansive as a mountain range.

    As soon as they appeared.

    They were as fast as wind and as lightning, splitting two towards Sun Daoist.

    Another two towards the void.

    Rip!

    They tore open a gap in the about-to-heal void once more.

    "Escape!"

    Sun Daoist dared not linger for a moment, raising tunneling light and fleeing desperately. Behind him, the two whisker-like ribbons thrashed, the barbs on them dancing wildly, releasing plumes of toxic smoke that filled the sky.

    Lu Qingfeng saw this unfold.

    He couldn''t tell if Sun Daoist had been entangled, as his vision soon was obscured by the toxic smoke. At the same time, two whisker-like ribbons suddenly emerged from the void, aiming to snatch him out of the void interlayer and capture him into the Heavenly Realm.

    Toxic barbs swayed, about to release the poison smoke.

    "Sun Daoist, I wish you luck."

    "Hope to see you again in the Heavenly Realm one day!"

    Lu Qingfeng shouted towards the Heavenly Realm where Sun Daoist was no longer visible, and then turned around. Countless Sword Qi shot out as he instantly performed ''Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void Condensing Sword Travel'', vanishing into the layers of the void.

    The powerful creature within the deep sea of the Heavenly Realm had an aura that was simply terrifying, far surpassing that of a Jiedan True Man, definitely having reached a Legendary Realm comparable to a Primordial Spirit.

    Impossible to confront.

    Impossible to entangle.

    Countless Sword Qi burst forth, with Lu Qingfeng hidden within.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The two whisker-like ribbons thrashed wildly, shattering numerous Sword Qi and Sword Lights, the toxic smoke spreading rapidly through the void interlayer.

    It spread endlessly, growing non-stop.

    At this rate, even if Lu Qingfeng deployed Great Divine Powers to escape, he would be captured.

    But moments later, the Endless Void''s chaotic currents surged, black light obscuring all directions above and below, causing void storms.

    By comparison.

    The Void Turmoil that Lu Qingfeng and Sun Daoist encountered during their chase seemed hardly worth mentioning.

    Just as shallow ponds differ from deep seas.

    Boom, boom, boom!

    Two tentacle-like ribbons, thin as mountain ranges, instantly met a chaos of currents. The Void Storm swept through, only to be further shredded by the tentacles.

    This made the intermediary layer of the void even more tumultuous, the storm roaring as if to annihilate heaven and earth.

    It seemed furious.

    The tentacles retracted in pain, a piercing shriek echoing from the depths before ultimately, reluctantly, retreating, fading into the intermediary layer of the void. Trails of toxic smoke also vanished within the storm.

    The void shattered and then healed.

    Calm returned to the intermediary layer.

    Within the void, a sword light fragmented, revealing the figure of Lu Qingfeng.

    "Legendary creatures of the Heavenly Realm."

    "Perhaps even stronger."

    Lu Qingfeng dared not pause. Fleeing with his Escape Magic, he looked back to see the Void Storm rise, then dissipate once more, and couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

    That tentacle had almost forced him to reveal himself.

    Thankfully, the storm acted as a barrier.

    Otherwise, by now, Lu Qingfeng feared he would be bound by the tentacles, dragged back into the Heavenly Realm, his fate uncertain.

    Only a glimpse was caught, seeing four tentacles, but the creature hidden in the deep sea, like an ancient mountain, was undoubtedly extraordinary.

    It could likely rival the Primordial Spirit True One, not a whit weaker.

    Within the Barbarian God Realm, it would at minimum be a creature of Legendary Realm, far surpassing those of Lord Level.

    "Not recklessly intruding into the Heavenly Realm was indeed wise."

    Lu Qingfeng felt fortunate in his heart.

    Had he been fixated on killing Sun Daoist, this encounter might have been his downfall. Over three hundred years of arduous cultivation could have gone down the drain.

    At this thought.

    Lu Qingfeng also thought of Sun Daoist—

    "Life and death are predestined."

    Facing such a terrifying existence in the deep sea, Sun Daoist was after all but a Golden Core Cultivator, with little hope for escape.

    But Lu Qingfeng wasn''t terribly concerned about it.

    This move.

    He started with snatching two Immortal Swords in the Material Realm''s Biya Mountain, then after a pursuit in the intermediary layer of the void, he ultimately seized another – the Sun Sword.

    With three Immortal Swords in hand, his heart surged with joy beyond measure.

    Lu Qingfeng did not tarry, following the Qi Mechanism of the Material Realm on his way, swiftly returning to the realm in no time.

    ...

    Back in the Material Realm.

    Since he was originally within it, sensing the various Qi mechanisms was even clearer. He didn''t have to blindly grope as he would when heading to the Heavenly Realm, where a single misstep could see him trespassing into the domain of a Legendary creature, his life and death not his own.

    Following the Qi sensing.

    Lu Qingfeng bypassed Biya Mountain, using the intermediary void layer to speed his journey back to Zhenyuan Mountain.

    This mode of travel was even faster than the Heavenly Wu Demon God''s Nine Heavens Cloud Breaking Charge through the Gang Wind Layer. However, compared to the Gang Wind Layer, the dangers in this intermediary layer were even more severe.

    Even a great Duke wouldn''t dare to traverse with such abandon.

    Lu Qingfeng was fearless.

    Along the way.

    The Six Great Demon Gods hurried back one after another.

    As expected, they came up empty-handed.

    Wei Wuding and Feihua Daoist, after all, were Reincarnated True Immortals, already at the Golden Core Realm, each possessing an Immortal Artifact. The Gathering Law Stage Dutian Demon Gods were no match for them.

    Even if they weren''t so pressed for time, fearing Lu Qingfeng''s pursuit, it''s uncertain if all six of the Dutian Demon Gods would have survived.

    "What a pity."

    Lu Qingfeng thought of the Fangtian Halberd in Wei Wuding''s hands and the Thunder Seal wielded by Feihua Daoist, shaking his head with a tinge of regret.

    The Fangtian Halberd could be overlooked, being more of a weapon suited for close combat, which wasn''t to Lu Qingfeng''s liking. But the Thunder Seal, in tandem with Lu Qingfeng''s mastery of the Five Thunder Heart Sutra, would have surely shone brilliantly.

    Yet it flew away, even Lu Qingfeng felt some loss.

    "In the future, ascending to the Heavenly Realm, searching for these two and their Immortal Artifacts will be truly difficult."

    Biya Mountain in the Material Realm was the best opportunity. Sear?h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Once missed, the vast Heavenly Realm held too many variables.

    "At least the Three Suns One Qi Swords are complete."

    Lu Qingfeng sensed the three Immortal Swords within his Mustard Space, a smile finally breaking upon his face, dispelling any dejection from losing the two artifacts.

    He resumed his travels.

    After an indeterminate period.

    The familiar Qi mechanism was straight ahead.

    Lu Qingfeng reached out and tore through space, and immediately a crack formed, revealing a vista of endless clouds and majestic mountains — Zhenyuan Mountain, situated within the Heavenly Punishment Abyss.

    ...

    "Purple Wave Water Mansion''s Yu Xiangzi, greets Fellow Daoist Guangyuan."

    "Purple Wave Water Mansion''s Long Ming, greets Fellow Daoist Guangyuan."

    Atop Zhenyuan Mountain.

    On the peak of the Cloud Platform, Lu Qingfeng, Yu Xiangzi, and Long Ming Daoist stood.

    "Purple Wave Water Mansion?"

    Lu Qingfeng, guessing at their origins, smiled and said, "I have made a trip to the Funeral Bell Plain, and have kept my fellow Daoists waiting."

    Speaking.

    He led the two to their seats and sat down himself. In one hand he toyed with a copper bell, and with the other, he drew out three long swords, gently polishing them.

    "The Desolate Bell?"

    "The Three Suns One Qi Swords!?"

    Yu Xiangzi and Long Ming Daoist had been eagerly awaiting Lu Qingfeng''s return, their faces awash with joy. But seeing the four treasures Lu Qingfeng brought out, each exuding the faint Pure Yang Qi peculiar to Immortal Artifacts, the two were momentarily dumbfounded.

    It wasn''t that they had never seen Immortal Artifacts.

    But—

    They recognized the Desolate Bell, having heard of it when they first came to the Heavenly Punishment Abyss, of how Zhenyuan Mountain''s Master Guangyuan had slain Luo Gu from Biya Mountain, who hailed from the Funeral Bell Plain.

    Thus.

    The Desolate Bell in Lu Qingfeng''s possession was no surprise to them.

    But the Three Suns One Qi Swords—
