459: Shenxu Saint, Half-Step Saint

Hearing the Gray-Haired Old Man's words, the Middle-aged man in the crimson robes laughed aloud as if he had heard something incredibly amusing, his tone filled with mockery and disdain.

"Arrogant?"

"When my Vermilion Bird Palace existed, your Myriad Immortals Court was nowhere to be found. Moreover, this Southern Immortal Domain is originally under the jurisdiction of the Vermilion Bird Palace. This time, it's merely returning to its rightful owner!"

The Middle-aged man's words caused a stir, astounding everyone and leading to an uproar.

The information revealed by these words was nothing short of astonishing. According to him, the Vermilion Bird Palace had existed for far longer than the Myriad Immortals Court.

Upon hearing this, the Gray-Haired Old Man, Elder Mo, frowned deeply, his expression fluctuating between light and shadow. He could easily tell from the other party's demeanor that these words were very likely true.

However, his Myriad Immortals Court had stood in the Southern Immortal Domain for such a long time; how could he easily surrender its authority?

Thus, his voice gradually turned cold, and with an unfriendly expression, he said, "I have never heard of the Vermilion Bird Palace, but if you want to bully my Myriad Immortals Court, you alone are not qualified!"

The Middle-aged man from the Vermilion Bird Palace had said similar words earlier, causing the atmosphere in the arena to suddenly solidify, with a palpable tension.

"Heh heh, it seems that without using some methods, your Myriad Immortals Court won't realize its proper place..."

The Middle-aged man from the Vermilion Bird Palace chuckled, but dangerous light flickered in his golden-red eyes.

He slowly stepped off the Vermilion Bird and met the Gray-Haired Old Man's gaze from afar, a murderous intent suddenly appearing.

The Vermilion Bird divine bird, covering the sky and sun, slowly ascended and flew into the distance, seemingly clearing a combat zone for the two of them.

The aura subtly emanating from the two of them suffocated everyone in the arena, who watched in horror.

The power of these two clearly far exceeded the peak of Immortal Venerable, but what realm lay beyond Immortal Venerable was something almost everyone was unaware of.

Only the Grand White-Robed Venerable and the leaders of the three major factions knew a thing or two, and their faces were also filled with worry.

After all, from the superior attitude the other party had displayed earlier, it was clear that the Vermilion Bird Palace was definitely a colossal entity, perhaps even stronger than the Myriad Immortals Court, otherwise it would not have chosen to appear at this time.

"Your strength is good, but if you want to fight this envoy, you are still far from enough!"

The Middle-aged man from the Vermilion Bird Palace spoke indifferently, the arrogance in his tone fully evident.

"Whether it is or not, we'll see under our hands!"

The Gray-Haired Old Man, Elder Mo, responded neither warmly nor coldly, but his expression was extremely solemn, clearly having sensed the other party's power.

Hmph!

Seeing the other party's attitude, the Middle-aged man from the Vermilion Bird Palace snorted coldly, then took a step forward. A vast and terrifying aura swept across the entire world, which even cultivators from the Five Domains and Thirteen Continents outside the Myriad Immortals Court could feel.

As this aura descended, countless lightning flashed in the sky, the Great Dao roared, carrying various laws, seemingly responding to the former.

Everyone at the Myriad Immortals Assembly, even those whose cultivation had reached the Immortal Venerable level, felt a shock in their bodies and minds, and an unspeakable fear surged into their hearts.

Even they found it difficult to completely resist this pressure. If it weren't directed at them, they might have perished on the spot under this pressure, their lives and cultivation extinguished.

A thought arose in their minds: To what terrifying extent had this person's cultivation reached?

The Big Yellow Dog and the others merely trembled for a moment before returning to normal, simply because Lin Yan waved his hand and dissipated the pressure.

However, curiosity also flickered in his eyes. In his opinion, the Middle-aged man who claimed to be from the Vermilion Bird Palace was many levels stronger than the Grand White-Robed Venerable.

But ever since he arrived in the Immortal Realm, he had never known what realm lay beyond Immortal Venerable.

However, with a voice sounding, everyone received the answer.

The Grand White-Robed Venerable was seen saying, one word at a time, "Divine Void Sage, Half-step... Immortal Dao Saint!"

Just hearing these few words, a huge thunderclap echoed in everyone's hearts, deafening and difficult to calm for a long time.

Lin Yan looked towards Jue Chen, who was equally shocked, with a hint of inquiry.

Seeing this, the latter also gave a wry smile and transmitted, "Cultivation reaching Immortal Venerable is considered the upper tier in the Immortal Realm, but Divine Void Sages and Immortal Dao Saints, who can stand above Immortal Venerables, are truly considered supreme powerhouses."

"It is said that figures of this level can create a plane with a mere flick of their hand, possessing the power of creation, granting countless beings the ability to multiply, thrive, and cultivate. They are incredibly terrifying, supreme figures throughout the entire Immortal Realm."

"This person's Great Dao should not yet be completely perfected, so he can only be considered a Half-step Immortal Dao Saint. But even so, I'm afraid no one in my Myriad Immortals Court, apart from a few adults and the Court Master, can contend with him."

Hearing the other party's explanation, Lin Yan then realized that the division of realms was not much different from the mortal realm, also having the distinction of Saints, but the gap between the two was as vast as heaven and earth.

Divine Void Sage, Immortal Dao Saint... He repeated the phrase in his mind, then began to compare the other party with himself. The spiritual power he used in his fight with Jue Chen was actually only a small part of a vast ocean.

If he were to use more of the vast ocean's power, who would be stronger or weaker between him and this existence above Immortal Venerable?

However, the Gray-Haired Old Man in the sky also made a move, first glancing at the crowd at the Myriad Immortals Assembly, then forming hand seals.

Immediately, a powerful energy surged from the depths of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace, separating him, the Middle-aged man from the Vermilion Bird Palace, and everyone else.

This way, no matter how intense the battle in the sky, it would not pose a threat to the people below, protected by an additional barrier.

And this power originated from the depths of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace, extremely powerful, enough to protect everyone's safety.

Immediately, the Gray-Haired Old Man also took a step forward, and an aura that was no weaker suddenly erupted from his body, standing in equal opposition to the other party.

Seeing this scene, everyone at the Myriad Immortals Assembly gasped in surprise again, secretly marveling at the strength of the Myriad Immortals Court, that even with an aggressor, there were still great figures who could match him.

Indeed.

Seeing this, Lin Yan was not surprised at all. He had long sensed the terrifying aura within the Gray-Haired Old Man. Even if he was not as strong as the Middle-aged man from the Vermilion Bird Palace, he would not be much weaker, clearly belonging to the same level.

"Good strength, but this envoy will make you understand the power of the Vermilion Bird Palace today!"

After the Middle-aged man finished speaking, the entire sky was immediately covered by a crimson sea of fire. Even across a barrier, everyone felt a chill down their spines from the scorching heat.

"Vermilion Bird Suppressing Heaven Seal!"

Boom.

The sea of fire churned, and a Vermilion Bird spirit, formed by countless flames, slowly ascended, flapping its wings. Then it transformed into an incredibly solid seal, crashing down towards the old man with terrifying power that shook the cosmos.
