427: The terrifying Dragon-controlling Immortal

As the Immortal Revered Dan Ding's Secret Realm concluded, a land enveloped in divine light faced a tremendous crisis.

The Star River Immortal Sect, located in the central region of the Divine Light Sacred Domain, held an excellent position. Due to its prominent reputation and its usual conduct, it indeed attracted many forces to voluntarily pledge allegiance.

The Immortal Sect was built atop an enormous mountain peak. Though called a 'peak,' its area was incredibly vast.

Countless palaces and pavilions stood tall, ancient and grand, enveloped in immortal light. At night, the entire sky would be adorned with twinkling stars and swirling nebulae, making the sect seem as if it were situated within the Star River itself.

Yet, within this seemingly magnificent and grand sect, the atmosphere was quite oppressive, and many faces were etched with worry.

Inside a grand hall, numerous powerful experts with imposing auras conversed with solemn expressions, the atmosphere extremely heavy.

An old man with white hair and beard sighed, "Old Ninth and the Young Master are said to have gone to the Immortal Revered Dan Ding's Secret Realm, but no information has been sent back. We don't know if they found that immortal medicine."

Hearing this, the others fell silent. Another old man with long, salt-and-pepper hair said in a deep voice,

"Now, the great array's power is continuously diminishing. Immortal Revered Yu Long will soon attack. Even if the Young Master and his companions found it, I fear the timing..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone present understood its meaning.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man asked, "Elders, what about the Sect Master's injuries now?"

But no sooner had he finished his question than he saw the elders shake their heads slightly, and his heart immediately sank a little.

Rumble.

A tremendous sound suddenly echoed at this moment, instantly causing a drastic change in the expressions of everyone in the hall.

They dared not delay, and quickly flashed into the sky above the sect, looking towards the source of the sound.

Roar.

A terrifying dragon's roar resounded. Against the backdrop of the night sky, a colossal blood-red dragon coiled in the firmament, its enormous, hideous head staring at the sect's great array with blood-red eyes.

Standing atop its head was a Bewitching Youth with long, blood-red hair.

He wore a purple battle robe, his hands clasped behind his back, observing the massive sect below with eyes that scorned all living beings.

Seeing this scene, the leading elders of the Star River Immortal Sect's expressions drastically changed, their bodies trembling slightly.

Immortal Revered Yu Long!

Waves of shock surged in their hearts. Logically, the great array hadn't been completely weakened yet, but the opponent had arrived early.

"Are you surprised by my arrival?"

The uniquely shaped, Bewitching Youth, Immortal Revered Yu Long, suddenly spoke, his tone full of disdain.

However, none of the many experts of the Star River Immortal Sect responded to his question.

Even the leading elders, whose cultivation had reached the Quasi-Immortal Exalted level, had grim expressions.

There was nothing good to say between the two sides; the opponent had come to annihilate the sect. What was the point of more verbal sparring when their strength was insufficient?

"It seems your Star River Immortal Sect people are quite sensible. Very well, I will let you die a quick death later."

With that, the Bewitching Youth extended his pale palm, raised a finger, and a terrifying energy condensed at its tip. Then, with a gentle flick, it shot towards the great array of the sect below.

At this moment, the great array above the Star River Immortal Sect seemed to sense the threat, erupting with a divine radiance. As energy flowed, it exuded an unshakeable feeling.

However, upon contact with that seemingly inconspicuous energy, the entire great array trembled slightly at this moment, appearing somewhat overwhelmed.

As its power erupted, formidable aftershocks raged, destroying everything outside the Star River Immortal Sect and leveling the ground.

"No, the great array can't hold on. If this continues, it can probably only withstand a few more attacks before completely collapsing."

The old man with white hair and beard exclaimed upon seeing this.

He immediately called upon everyone to condense a small array, and powerful spiritual energy continuously flowed to replenish the great array.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating yourselves!"

Immortal Revered Yu Long's lips curled into a sneer as he said softly.

Then, terrifying streaks of energy condensed from his fingertips and landed on the great array.

Rumble.

Under that terrifying bombardment, the great array tottered, and even with the support of the many experts of the Star River Immortal Sect, it was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water, completely ineffective.

This kind of momentum also struck fear into the hearts of many nearby forces, who dared not approach an inch.

Soon, the matter of the Star River Immortal Sect quickly spread, and everyone was discussing it.

Crack.

The great array seemed somewhat vulnerable before Immortal Revered Yu Long, and at this moment, faint sounds of cracking could be heard.

Not good!

Seeing this scene, a trace of horror flashed in the eyes of the white-haired old man and others. The next moment, everyone was sent flying backward, violently spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The great array had already reached its limit, and after losing the support of the crowd, it finally shattered into countless specks of light.

Immortal Revered Yu Long snorted coldly, and the blood-red giant dragon let out another high-pitched roar, continuously approaching downwards.

Whoosh.

Just then, inside the Star River Immortal Sect, a sound like flowing water suddenly drew everyone's attention.

A figure appeared in the sky at some unknown point, striding through the void.

Upon seeing this person, the many experts of the Star River Immortal Sect immediately exclaimed, "Sect Master!"

Indeed, the newcomer was none other than the Sect Master of the Star River Immortal Sect, Immortal Revered Xing He, who had been in seclusion!

He was a handsome middle-aged man in a light blue robe, with a refined demeanor, yet accompanied by a faint, discernible aura of authority—the aura of a superior who had long held a high position.

Alas.

After a soft sigh, his eyes gradually sharpened, and he said softly, "Since you are pressing so hard, then even if I, Xing, have to sacrifice my life today, I shall contend with you."

Hearing Immortal Revered Xing He's words, the Bewitching Youth's expression also became considerably more serious, and he said indifferently, "I couldn't ask for more!"

In their eyes, there was only each other, and an invisible ripple-like fluctuation spread out.

The blood-red giant dragon beneath Immortal Revered Yu Long immediately left the battlefield and fled into the distance.

A confrontation at the Immortal Venerable level was not something a Quasi-Immortal Exalted could interfere with.

Although there was only a one-word difference, it was a world apart; even an aftershock would be unbearable.

Their figures gradually ascended, displaying great tacit agreement, intending to battle in the depths of the firmament.

Immortal Revered Xing He took out a golden battle saber, lightly stroked its blade, let out a turbid breath, and then declared with high battle intent, "If you want to destroy my sect, you must show your true capability."

Boom.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for a response, he waved his hand, and a saber light hundreds of thousands of feet long pressed across the sky, slashing fiercely towards his opponent.
