Chapter 364: Chapter 363: Reaching a Consensus

The scene, already chaotic, became even more tumultuous with the continuous revival of several Immortal Artifacts, as the mana overflowed like a vast ocean.

Upon seeing the massive golden lotus rise with the might of the Immortal Dao, the Supreme Elder, who had been silently staying in place, changed his expression.

He was worried that his juniors would use the Golden Scale Lotus against Lv Bai. However, with the scene in such chaos, it was unrealistic to transmit messages privately.

Clang!

Upon its complete awakening, the bronze bell did not hesitate at all and directly unleashed an Immortal Killing Technique.

The violent aura resembled a meteor crashing down, piercing through everything. The cultivators along its path scattered, yet were still affected by the aftermath of the attack, their flesh nearly torn asunder.

Possessing Immortal Artifacts is the primary reason why each Holy Land and top-level Great Teachings are able to stand unshaken and pass down their legacy across the Profound State Land for ages.

Normally, without a means of equal level to counter it, one could only turn to ash under such an attack, with their divine soul dispersing. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

However, unexpectedly by everyone present, Lv Bai did not dodge; not only did he face the attack launched by the Immortal Artifact, but he even charged towards it proactively.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar resounded.

In an instant, radiant glows filled the sky, and the profound rules of the great path spilled forth, almost forming Law Divine Chains.

The entire sky trembled in this collision; none of the Immortal Sect disciples stationed throughout the mountain gate could maintain their standing posture, all staggering and coughing up blood.

As the target of the bronze bell’s attack, Lv Bai’s figure remained resolutely upright amidst a force capable of annihilating all, standing like a lone sail amidst a roaring sea, riding the winds and waves.

Seeing this scene, no upper echelon of the Immortal Sect could remain composed, to the extent that an old woman screamed out in terror.

Seeing it with their own eyes, it was still hard to accept.

Such corporeal strength was truly astonishing, absurd to the point of defying reason.

Conversely, the Supreme Elder of the Golden Scale Sacred Land found his thoughts more liberated.

To possess an intact body under an Immortal Artifact’s attack, it was perfectly normal for one such as himself not to be its match.

"Attack his divine soul! I refuse to believe his Primordial Spirit is also this firm!" The Baptism by Fire Sect Leader exclaimed, his face pale with shock and anger.

Lv Bai raised his eyebrows, activating [Flash Time] again, exiting the range of the Bronze Immortal Bell’s attack as he charged directly towards the Baptism by Fire Sect Leader.

He had initially intended to first kill this character, but unfortunately, though that fellow roared loudly, he actually kept far away once the fighting started, which was why Lv Bai had not bothered dealing with him before.

Now that he still dared to jump out, Lv Bai naturally had no qualms about eliminating this sect leader.

The attack launched with [Flash Time] appeared completely untraceable to other Great Powers; they couldn’t even find a trail to follow, making it naturally indefensible.

Lv Bai did not bother concealing his aura; when time started flowing again, the Baptism by Fire Sect Leader flew backward like a kite with a broken string, a large, bowl-sized gaping hole through his chest, imbued with the unique charm of the great path’s rules, that would remain unless a Mahayana Cultivator intervened to eliminate it.

The Taishi Sect Leader, along with the other few Mahayana Cultivators, all frowned intently.

They tried earnestly to sense it seriously, with their Divine Sense spread across every corner of the sky, yet still, no trail could be detected.

They exchanged glances, seeing uncertainty and doubt reflected in each other’s eyes.

This meant that if Lv Bai decided to attack them, it would be no different than dealing with those Divinity Transformation Stage, Integration Stage cultivators.

With the protection of an Immortal Artifact, remaining unharmed, additionally with the Baptism by Fire Sect Leader using his life to point everyone in the right direction, the upper echelons present decided against stubbornly continuing their physical attacks, instead turning to attack Lv Bai’s Primordial Spirit.

Fortunately, Lv Bai’s Primordial Spirit was not in a perfect, seamless state, but rather marred with cracks, which gave the present upper echelon hope that they might finish Lv Bai.

Otherwise, perhaps more than half of the Immortal Sect upper echelon would now be on their knees begging for mercy.

Noteworthy is that facing various sinister methods targeting the Primordial Spirit, Lv Bai wasn’t as relaxed as he appeared to be.

Even though he had the Immortal Dao Flower to stabilize his Primordial Spirit, the damage from these attacks was still significant.

After all, this was a group of Divinity Transformation, Integration Great Cultivators; even if most did not primarily cultivate their divine soul, a myriad of techniques could still achieve the effect of many ants biting an elephant to death.

Recognizing that these Immortal Sect upper echelons had abandoned physical means of attack, Lv Bai quickly switched from [Steel Body] to [Strike in the Dark], simultaneously activating [All Ink] to erect a visual barrier, ensuring to the greatest extent that these attacks aimed at his divine soul could not find his true body.

As darkness spread, the present Immortal Sect upper echelons could only extend their Divine Sense to search for the enemy, yet unfortunately, under Lv Bai’s continuous use of [Flash Time], these upper echelons could not lock onto a target at all.

"Ah!!!"

"Save..."

Moreover, in this total darkness, there were the nonstop cries of agony, never ceasing for a moment.

Such an environment, in which characters of the same level were continually killed, was truly too terrifying and eerie.

No matter their state of mind, it was impossible to maintain calm; this panic spread like a plague, with more and more of the Immortal Sect upper echelons ceasing their attacks, desperately expressing their surrendering stance, while even more chose to flee, flying headlong in the opposite direction.

After all, Lv Bai was not a Demon Beast. He had no desire nor necessity to kill off every single one of those who had surrendered.

After the descent of darkness, in less than the time it takes to burn one incense stick, no upper echelon of the various Immortal Sects remained, all standing in place, waiting fearfully for Lv Bai’s decision.

Lv Bai let out a long sigh, waving his hand to dispel the pervasive darkness.

Upon regaining sight of the light, the remaining upper echelons dared not breathe deeply.

They looked around cautiously, discovering that most of their fellow sect members were no longer present.

Even knowing that some had fled, they couldn’t help but feel inner sorrow, mourning the loss of their kin.

Seeing this, those present essentially reached a consensus among themselves, as Lv Bai wore a pure, heartfelt smile on his face.

Clap~

With a clap of his hands, he attracted everyone’s attention to himself and said with a smile, "Alright, from now on we can direct our efforts towards a common goal."

...

Xuan Province descended into complete chaos.

The upper echelons of the Immortal Sect who fled from the Cyan Hope Sect spread word of what they had seen and heard along the way.

The common folk didn’t really care, as whoever ruled over them was the same.

But for each of the Immortal Sects, the sky had indeed changed.

A suddenly emerging powerhouse capable of suppressing the entire Xuan Province with his own strength had arrived; even gathering the full strength of Xuan Province could not resist him, forcing each of the Immortal Sects into madness.

Especially those Holy Lands and Great Teachings, who once sat high on the clouds, were thrown into complete panic.

Even though the outcome was not yet clear, the Great Powers who fled described Lv Bai as utterly ruthless and merciless in his killings.

Merely knowing this caused multiple Immortal Sects to flee with their entire sect’s doctrines, trying at the very least to get out of Xuan Province first.
