Chapter 1019: Chapter 423: First Battle with a True Immortal, The Sword Lord’s Surprise_1

In the valley, Bai Yu advanced, flying upward with a golden longsword in his hand. Dressed in white, his attire fluttered as he maintained a serious expression, yet he showed no sign of nervousness.

“Please.”

As his refined voice fell, he had already thrust his sword. Golden light surged like a tide, Sword Force pressing down, filling the valley with the loud hum of sword energy.

On the perimeter of the valley, Han Yi’s eyes gleamed.

This longsword was teeming with Power of Immortal Spirit, clearly a remarkable Immortal Sword, and undoubtedly strong among its kind.

What’s more essential was that with the Immortal Sword Spirit, Bai Yu’s control over the Immortal Sword was extremely potent.

Normally, Spirit Transformation cultivators, even those with an Immortal Sword, would find it difficult to wield it due to their limited mana, which made it tough to command the Immortal Sword; otherwise, on the Fighting Immortal Platform there would be no need to select individuals—straightforward comparison of the power of Spiritual Treasures and Immortal Artifacts would suffice.

The key to victory on the Fighting Immortal Platform lay with the cultivator themselves.

And at this moment, Bai Yu, with Immortal Sword in hand and possessing its spirit, seemed on the surface to be evenly matched with Xiong Chi, the Peak Half-Immortal holding a giant Immortal Artifact saber.

However.

With his insight, Han Yi could tell that Xiong Chi was simply defending without any intent to counterattack, allowing Bai Yu to exhaust all his moves so the several True Immortals present could assess his strength.

To say assessment was perhaps to overstate it, for as a disciple of the Immortal Monarch, Bai Yu’s position as the strongest cultivator in his rank within Spirit Transformation was already confirmed before this event.

This moment was just a formality.

Ten breaths later, Xiong Chi raised his giant saber, unleashing the power of the Immortal Artifact, striking downward and forcing Bai Yu to retreat.

Bai Yu sheathed his sword and stood straight, taking a deep breath to calm his turbulent mana before giving a respectful bow and stepping down.

Outside the arena, the audience was abuzz with discussions, shocked by Bai Yu’s capability to fight beyond his level and astonished by Xiong Chi’s might.

Han Yi nodded in approval. Xiong Chi’s strength wasn’t lacking; he was somewhat better than Li Zhengyang, but still a notch below Jin Sheng, whom they had both explored with in the Immortal Spirit Realm before.

This level of power was indeed commendable.

It’s worth noting that the Beidou Immortal Palace had been established for just over a hundred years, which is only a brief period for Half-Immortal-level cultivators who could live for ten thousand years, and not even long by the standards of Spirit Transformation cultivators.

For a cultivator of Xiong Chi’s caliber, powerful among Peak Half-Immortals, to emerge in just over a century was no easy feat.

Unfortunately.

Within the Beidou Immortal Palace, besides Xiong Chi, the other Peak Half-Immortals could only be considered average, not particularly outstanding. Relying solely on Xiong Chi, the chance of victory was quite slim.

Especially as Beidou, Gouchen, and Star Luo had all originated from the same Immortal Palace, knowing each other well. Now, having separated, they sought to establish strength through the format of the Fighting Immortal Platform, with Beidou’s defeat all but confirmed unless a powerful external force intervened.

This was also the primary reason the Beidou Immortal Palace had summoned cultivators who had come from the Beidou Region but were dispersed across the Immortal Realm.

Next, numerous Spirit Transformation cultivators took turns entering the fray, with the majority being Peak Spirit Transformation Gods and only a few in the latter phase of Spirit Transformation.

The contest continued for a full hour. Among the hundreds of Spirit Transformation cultivators present, nearly a hundred tried to challenge Xiong Chi, using Spirit Transformation against Peak Half-Immortal. Only three stood out, impressive though none reached the level of Bai Yu.

In the arena.

Xiong Chi sheathed his saber and bowed to the cultivators surrounding the valley before withdrawing. An hour’s time had passed, but only Bai Yu had given him a bit of pressure, and no one else stirred any extra emotion in him.

After Xiong Chi stepped down,

a middle-aged man from the group of eight True Immortals standing at one side of the valley took a step forward.

As he made this step, a sharp Sword Light ascended to the heavens, causing the sky above the valley to change dramatically, but it was over in an instant, as the Sword Light receded and the clouds dispersed, leaving a gentle breeze behind.

From Yu Heng World, the Sword Lord, Jian Wusi.

Inside the Beidou Immortal Palace, there were originally eighteen vice palace lords, with eight from the Beidou Region and the other ten from Gouchen and Star Luo Territories.

And according to the records, Beidou had four True Immortals who hadn’t joined the Immortal Palace, while Gouchen and Star Luo Territories had as many as thirteen True Immortals.

This meant that after the separation of Gouchen Immortal Palace, Beidou Immortal Palace, including the lord Fu Qiong and the four True Immortals outside the Temple, only numbered thirteen, whereas Gouchen Immortal Palace might very well possess twenty-three True Immortals.

At the level of True Immortals, there was a huge disparity in the base numbers, and even Fu Qiong taking action would not guarantee victory in the True Immortal match.

At this moment.

Jian Wusi stood in the valley, not manifesting intense True Immortal presence, but to the Spirit Transformation cultivators, he seemed like an all-encompassing Immortal Sword; his Sword intention alone made it impossible for them to harbor any thoughts of resistance.

Such was the terror of a Sword Immortal’s might.

On the outskirts of the valley, where over sixty Half-immortal-level cultivators were present, when Jian Wusi appeared, the first Half-Immortal stepped forward and respectfully said,

“From Tianquan World, Refining God Hall, Valley Reeds, I seek guidance from the Vice Palace Lord.”

The middle-aged man didn’t possess any Immortal Artifacts, but he wielded a Half-Immortal Item, a bronze staff over two meters long. As the staff swung forth, it transformed into a sky full of shadows, which then unified into one entity and struck down, shattering the Void and shaking the valley.

“A combat power close to Peak Half-Immortal.”

Han Yi nodded to himself; with his Half-Immortal Item staff, Valley Reeds had managed to unleash strength close to Peak Half-Immortal.

And yet, Jian Wusi simply flicked his finger, and a Sword Light shot forth from his fingertip. The Sword Light wasn’t large, but it effortlessly shattered the strike that rattled the space of the Immortal Spirit Realm, disintegrating it into wild and disordered energy that scattered in all directions.
