"Ha ha!"

    "Bring it on!"

    Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn''t help but burst into laughter. The Shaoyang Daoist truly behaved recklessly, never learning his lesson. He dared to bring such an Immortal Artifact so close to his vicinity.

    With a shake and a sway.

    Above his head, red and white Divine Light immediately appeared.

    The Divine Light swayed and harshly brushed down against the Shaoyang Sword, which shone like the aurora.

    "Not good!"

    The Shaoyang Daoist suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart, and when he wanted to recall the Shaoyang Sword, it was no longer under his control. In his rush to dodge the Soul Losing Desolate Bell, he had completely forgotten about the Five-Colored Divine Light.

    In an instant, he lost a cherished treasure.

    "Sun Daoist Brother!"

    The Shaoyang Daoist shouted hastily towards the Sun Daoist, who was entangled in combat with the Zhu Rong and Gonggong Demon Gods in the distance.

    However, relying on the Sun Sword, although the Sun Daoist firmly held the upper hand, the two powerful Demon Gods, heedless of their lives, entangled him tightly, making it difficult for him to escape. To recall both the Shaoyang and Zhongyang Immortal Swords was even more difficult.

    "Terrible!"

    After calling out, the Shaoyang Daoist looked towards the Sun Daoist, his heart turning cold.

    On the other hand, Lu Qingfeng.

    Handing the Shaoyang Sword to the Ru Shou Demon God, he stepped forward, preparing to shake the Soul Losing Desolate Bell once more.

    "Retreat!"

    Remembering the lesson of the Zhongyang Daoist, the Shaoyang Daoist did not dare to hesitate. He continuously retreated until he reached the safety of Biya Mountain.

    "Where are the Moving Mountain Warriors?!"

    With a loud shout, three hundred Moving Mountain Warriors, unbeknownst to when, arranged themselves around the mountains, simultaneously hurling down the mountains they carried on their shoulders.

    Boom!

    The earth trembled mightily.

    The Shaoyang Daoist formed a Seal Technique with his hands, bellowing,

    "Array, rise!"

    Immediately, a Great Array took control of the mountains and rivers, connecting the earth and drawing in the stars from the heavens, brewing boundless terror to subjugate Lu Qingfeng.

    "An Array?"

    Lu Qingfeng scoffed.

    In his life, what he feared least were arrays.

    The Great Divine Power ''Daluo Cave Temple'' swept across, dismissing the hastily arranged crude array. While the array''s power was great, it lacked variation and finesse. Lu Qingfeng saw its flaws at a glance.

    Cloud Summit Step activated.

    In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Shaoyang Daoist.

    "How is this possible?!"

    The Shaoyang Daoist''s eyes widened in horror.

    Although this ''Mountain and River Star River Demon Subduing Great Array'' was formed hastily, he had mastered it to perfection in the Earth Immortal World. He could have held back even a Jiedan True Man or a Primordial Spirit True One for a moment with this array.

    But Guang Yuan straightforwardly ignored it?

    The shock was monumental.

    But the Shaoyang Daoist had no chance to change anything. As soon as Lu Qingfeng appeared, he immediately shook the Soul Losing Desolate Bell—

    Clang!

    Striking the Shaoyang Daoist directly.

    The Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light rose again, striking the stricken Shaoyang Daoist.

    With a bang, the Shaoyang Daoist followed in the footsteps of the Zhongyang Daoist. His body shattered, leaving only a Golden Core trying to escape through the sky. Lu Qingfeng was prepared; he deployed the Purple Gold Bowl, entangling the two streaks of light around the Golden Core, trapping it.

    Raising his hand, he released a burst of Dutian Demon Flames.

    Boom!

    The Golden Core shattered, the Shaoyang Daoist''s Divine Soul dissipated, sent into reincarnation.

    "Daoist Brother!"

    "Shaoyang Master Brother!"

    All these events, though lengthy to describe, happened in an instant.

    Not even ten breaths'' time had passed.

    By the time the Sun Daoist and others saw what happened, they could only cry out in alarm as they saw the Shaoyang Daoist''s body and Golden Core shattered, his Divine Soul dissipated into reincarnation.

    Uncontrolled, the Mountain and River Star River Demon Subduing Great Array instantly collapsed.

    Lu Qingfeng walked out from it.

    With a light flick of his sleeve.

    The Purple Gold Bowl''s intertwining lights swept up the three hundred Moving Mountain Warriors, suppressing them all.

    The Moving Mountain Warriors, strong as they were, couldn''t withstand the Immortal Artifact and Divine Power.

    Unable to move while being suppressed.

    Turning around.

    Lu Qingfeng looked in one direction, the joy of killing the Shaoyang Daoist and capturing the Moving Mountain Warriors still on his face, as he lightly uttered two words—

    "Thunder Fall!"

    Rumble!

    Thunder descended from heaven.

    The stunned and retreating Luo Gu was instantly struck, revealing a Golden Core within, which then shattered in the next moment, the Biya Mountain losing another Reincarnated True Immortal.

    "Presumptuous!"

    "Presumptuous!"

    With fellow sect members continuously being killed, the Sun Daoist was furious.

    Cursing loudly, he became even more frantic. His Sun Sword emitted countless sword lights, covering half of the sky.

    However, the Zhu Rong and Gonggong Demon Gods, though unable to resist the Immortal Artifact, were also not to be trifled with.

    The former arranged the Dutian Fierce Fire Immortal Formation with twelve Dutian Fierce Fire God Flags, entangling and fighting relentlessly.

    The latter stirred up towering tidal waves, continuously harassing.

    Even in his anger, the Sun Daoist was unable to escape in that brief moment.

    Just then.

    Lu Qingfeng leisurely walked out of Biya Mountain, heading towards the Sun Daoist.

    "Be careful, Sun Master Brother!"

    Wei Wuding, wielding the Fangtian Halberd, his combat skills refined, was pressing down hard on Houtu and Tian Wu, the two Demon Gods looking utterly wretched. Seeing Lu Qingfeng''s movements, he promptly alerted the Sun Daoist loudly, increasing his strength by another three parts.

    Feihua Daoist, however, began to retreat, saying to Wei Wuding and the Sun Daoist, "This demon is fierce; we must briefly avoid his sharp edge!"

    Demons entwining.

    Once Lu Qingfeng battled the Sun Daoist again, and with two Demon Gods breaking free, escaping became an even more difficult task for him and Wei Wuding.

    By trying to defeat them one by one, the three of them would likely face death today, following in the footsteps of Sun, Shaoyang, and Luo Gu.

    Feihua Daoist wisely chose not to entangle further.

    Before his words even finished echoing,

    The Sun Daoist and Wei Wuding exchanged glances.

    Despite his uncontainable rage, the Sun Daoist was the first to shout, "Run!"

    A resounding blast.

    Lu Qingfeng, in his Yin Yang Dao Robe, shaking the Soul Losing Bell, swayed as he approached the Sun Daoist.

    But then, with a single sword strike from the Sun Daoist, the Void shattered instantly, revealing an endless chaotic flow of Void.

    The Sun Daoist, fearless and imposing, leapt directly into it and vanished.

    Turning to Wei Wuding and Feihua Daoist,

    One wielded the Fangtian Halberd to slice through the vacuum, disappearing without a trace.

    The other wielded Thunder to blast open the way between two Demon Gods, shattering the Void and rushing in.

    Just as Lu Qingfeng confronted the two Demon Gods Zhu Rong and Gonggong surrounding the Sun Daoist, the three Reincarnated True Immortals from Biya Mountain had vanished.

    "Thinking of escaping?!"

    Anger rose on Lu Qingfeng''s face.

    The people escaping was one thing, but the three Immortal Artifacts he''d coveted for so long were slipping away. How could he not be furious?

    "Where will you escape to!"

    Seeing the place where the Sun Daoist disappeared, with the Void yet to close, Lu Qingfeng swiftly pursued.

    Zhu Rong and Gonggong split -

    Zhu Rong Demon God, together with Houtu and Tian Wu, went after Wei Wuding.

    Gonggong Demon God joined forces with Ju Mang and Qiang Liang, chasing after Feihua Daoist.

    While Ru Shou Demon God, suppressing the Shaoyang and Zhongyang Immortal Swords, transformed into a sharp sword and entered Lu Qingfeng''s body the moment he disappeared.

    Divine Light appeared.

    Both Immortal Swords were instantly suppressed by the Five-Colored Divine Light. Of the Three Suns Daoists, only the Sun Daoist remained, struggling under the Five-Colored Divine Light to recall the two Immortal Swords—a task most arduous.

    Thus,

    Originally, the great battle raged through heaven and earth, stirring up storms of thunder, fire, and floods. Then, suddenly, it became eerily calm.

    In the skies,

    The cracks in the Void slowly healed, and the chaotic Void streams disappeared from sight.

    Leaving only the vast aftermath of the battle, chaotic Void streams scouring, causing thousands of miles of devastation.

    Within Biya Mountain,

    The faces of the Taoyuan Immortal Sect Cultivators were dark and somber, their silence profound.

    Of the six Ancestor Masters that roamed Funeral Bell Plain, three were slain, and three were frightened into fleeing. Left with the mess of Biya Mountain and without the suppression of six powerful figures, they now faced the backlash from the entire Funeral Bell Plain.

    "Taoyuan is in peril!"

    ...

    With the wall down, everyone gives it a push.

    With the absence of the Three Suns Daoists'' leadership, Taoyuan Immortal Sect didn''t need Lu Qingfeng''s attention, as the many Divine Temples and forces of Funeral Bell Plain were pushing it to level.

    "Void Layer."

    Lu Qingfeng stepped into the Void Layer, moving through it.

    Here, with no heaven nor earth, one couldn''t discern any direction—only by following the obscure energy, with sufficient strength, could one advance.

    Eventually reaching the ''Heavenly Realm'' in the Barbarian God Realm.

    This was the disconnection from the Material Realm, often termed ''Ascension.''

    The Sun Daoist, Wei Wuding, and Feihua Daoist, sensing Lu Qingfeng''s fierce pursuit, fled towards the Barbarian God Heavenly Realm.

    "In the Heavenly Realm, amid countless strong beings, it''s ill-advised to rashly enter for now."

    Lu Qingfeng''s mind was clear. Sear?h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Within the Material Realm, he yet had to reach the zenith of his cultivation, and being in the critical stage of Gathering Law and Condensing Evil for refining, entering the Heavenly Realm would be detrimental rather than beneficial.

    Hence,

    "I must intercept and destroy them before they reach the Heavenly Realm."

    "If worse comes to worst,"

    "I must seize those Immortal Artifacts."

    Lu Qingfeng''s thoughts churned, and time was of the essence. Using Cloud Summit Steps, he navigated through the chaotic Void streams. Here they called it the Void, different from the Primordial Void, merely a layer between the Material Realm and the Heavenly Realm in the Barbarian God Realm.

    Much like the barrier between the egg white and yolk.

    Whether moving from the Material Realm to the Heavenly Realm or vice versa, one must traverse this place.

    For a Cultivator, their aura stirred the chaotic Void streams.

    Depending on one''s cultivation, the encountered force varied. Hence, even Cultivators in the Barbarian God Realm comparable to Primordial Spirits or Mahayana dared not linger here long.

    As for the Material Realm,

    Once one''s cultivation exceeded the threshold the Material Realm could contain, if within, one would be expelled; if outside, one couldn''t enter.

    This was also one of the reasons Lu Qingfeng remained within the Material Realm.

    Pursuing through the Void.

    The chaotic streams were like silent Wind Blades, only a flicker of black light flashing by. Without much endurance, mana would be rapidly depleted, leading to death.

    Thus,

    ''Ascension'' also held considerable dangers.

    For Lu Qingfeng, this was trivial. Implementing Cloud Summit Steps, no matter how dense or sudden the chaotic Void streams, none could harm him.

    Chaos knows no years.

    Void counts no miles.

    Not knowing how far he had traveled, a rising aura just ahead made Lu Qingfeng spot the back of the Sun Daoist.

    "He''s caught up?!"

    Seeing Lu Qingfeng approaching caused both shock and fury on the face of the Sun Daoist.

    He dared not look back.

    Nor delay.

    Pushing his mana to the limit, deploying the Escape Magic Technique, he no longer avoided the chaotic Void streams, aiming only to reach the Heavenly Realm as quickly as possible. As long as he entered the Heavenly Realm and the Void sealed behind him, finding him in the changing Void would be difficult for Lu Qingfeng.

    "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

    The Sun Daoist bore no will to fight.

    Zhongyang and Shaoyang were no weaker than him and were easily slain by Lu Qingfeng. Luo Gu, wielding the Soul Losing Bell, though more mysterious, also fell at the hands of Lu Qingfeng.

    The lessons from their fates were brutally clear.

    How could the Sun Daoist dare to hold any sliver of hope?
