363: Chapter 363 War Between Two Realms

Those three all possessed terrifying auras, standing tall like towering mountains.

One was a man in a golden robe, burly and majestic, wearing an imperial crown and holding a golden magic sword, appearing like a peerless emperor in person.

The second was completely shrouded in black mist, their true face obscured; one could vaguely see a humanoid figure, yet it possessed three heads and six arms, inexplicably eerie.

The third was a Lava Giant clad in crimson armor, a thousand zhang tall, wielding a Sky-Opening Axe.

Under the gaze of the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes, Ji Taichang could clearly see strands of Immortal Qi swirling within their bodies. Their cultivation auras had clearly reached the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Perfection, and they had even stepped half a foot into the Immortal Dao!

Ji Taichang's gaze froze, revealing a look of surprise.

According to what he knew.

Whenever one Cultivates to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Perfection, an Ascension Tribulation will descend. Only after enduring the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and successfully Undergoing Tribulation will Immortal Qi arrive to temper the Immortal Body, allowing one to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Once Immortal Qi descends, it means one must either absorb the Immortal Qi and achieve Immortal Ascension, or give up the Immortal Qi and remain at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Perfection.

There was no third choice!

Yet these three were all at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Perfection, with Immortal Qi existing in their bodies, yet they had not stepped into the Immortal Dao, nor had they ascended. It was truly bizarre!

"Could it be that the Otherworld also has Immortal Qi fallen from the Immortal Realm, which they have absorbed and fused with?"

Ji Taichang thought of the Immortal Qi Su Wanqing had obtained from the Konglan Sea Area and became pensive.

At the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Perfection, fusing with a strand of Immortal Qi was absolutely terrifying!

Ji Taichang immediately spread his Divine Sense and quietly sent a transmission, informing the various Tribulation Transcendence Stage Old Ancestors of the Qingling Realm Alliance of the matter, telling them to be prepared.

The Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts attending the first battle of the Qingling Realm Alliance, including Ji Taichang, totaled eighteen people. They stood at various positions along the frontmost Great Wall Defense Line, guarding their respective areas.

After receiving Ji Taichang's transmission, they were all greatly shocked. They spread their Divine Sense or performed pupil techniques, staring intently at the massive black rift.

But even someone as strong as Patriarch Ye Hongtian could only vaguely see shadows flickering within the rift; he could not see what was inside at all, let alone the Immortal Qi within the leading three.

Just as they were beginning to doubt if Ji Taichang was deceiving them.

Boom!!!

An earth-shattering roar came from ahead, shaking the sky. The entire Extreme North shook violently as an astonishing shockwave surged forward, kicking up a sky-covering blizzard!

Under the incredibly solemn gazes of the Qingling Realm Alliance Cultivators.

The massive black rift expanded several more points and completely took shape, turning into a massive spatial tunnel!

A vast army clad in armor and wielding long weapons appeared before the people of the Qingling Realm, their cold and murderous aura sweeping in all directions.

Cold, steel Warships floated around like war fortresses, with Formations running and Magic Treasures circling.

Enormous beasts that blotted out the sun stood tall, roaring at the sky and letting out deafening bellows...

Most shocking were the three figures at the lead, like three great suns hanging in the sky. The surging pressure they emitted made the world rumble. The various Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts all felt their hearts tremble, experiencing a moment of suffocation!

"The pressure alone makes my Soul tremble. This is definitely not as simple as the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Perfection!"

"Could it be as Fellow Daoist Ji said, that they have the enhancement of Immortal Qi in their bodies?"

"But having Immortal Qi means they must ascend. How did they manage this?"

"Stop overthinking and prepare for battle!!"

Patriarch Ye Hongtian shouted, stopping the discussion of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts.

"Jie jie jie... This is the Qingling Realm? This wretched place is actually so lacking in Spiritual Qi, and the quality of the Cultivators is also quite poor. So weak!"

The eerie creature shrouded in black mist spoke, looking down upon the people of the Qingling Realm.

Although he spoke in an Otherworld language that everyone completely failed to understand, when the voice fell, everyone inexplicably knew his meaning.

This method was extremely bizarre.

The human male wearing the imperial robe raised the magic sword in his hand and coldly spat out a single word: "Kill!"

Boom—

At his command, the endless Otherworld army behind him let out a sky-shaking roar, charging toward the Qingling Realm Cultivators like a landslide or a tsunami.

"Engage!!"

Patriarch Ye Hongtian shouted, leading the Qingling Realm Cultivators to strike!

On the Great Wall Defense Line, Formations operated one after another as runes filled the sky. Various massive cannons, sword Formations, and large-scale Magic Treasures were activated, erupting with dense firepower.

Low-Realm Cultivators either joined together to support the operation of the Formations or worked together to control them, managing to exert impressive combat power.

As for the Mahayana Stage and Tribulation Transcendence Stage, experts of this level could not be defeated by numbers alone and required the experts of the Qingling Realm's side to step forward and stop them.

In an instant.

A fierce and earth-shattering battle broke out between the two armies!

The sounds of shouting and killing shook the heavens. Countless Magic Treasures and Divine Ability techniques bloomed with light and collided, rumbling and echoing through the firmament.

The Qingling Realm side had already set up defensive lines and had many people. The number of the Otherworld's first wave of vanguard troops was far fewer than that of the Qingling Realm. Coupled with the advantage of the Great Wall Defense Line, it was actually the Qingling Realm side that held the upper hand.

Ji Taichang did not move, his deep and sharp eyes fixed on the three experts from the Otherworld.

Because he knew clearly that the victory or defeat of this war did not lie with the two armies at all, but with these few top experts!

With every gesture, they could erupt with world-destroying Divine Might, which was not something the number of the army could resist!

"These defensive lines are a bit of an eyesore."

The man wearing the imperial robe from the Otherworld raised the magic sword in his hand and gave it a gentle swing. A terrifying Sword Qi, like a hanging galaxy, descended from the sky, illuminating the Nine Heavens and splitting the world in two!

That supreme Sword Qi made even the Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts' skin crawl, feeling an irresistible sense of mortal danger!

Clang—

At this critical moment, an ancient bell appeared out of thin air. It was heavy and archaic, emitting a long, resonating chime as it blocked the front.

That earth-shattering Sword Qi struck the ancient bell, but only caused it to shake slightly. The immortal dao runes engraved on the ancient bell flickered, and Chaos Qi swirled around it, a magnificent sight.

A youth dressed in white stepped through the air, holding the ancient bell with an extraordinary aura.

"hunyuan world-suppressing bell!"

"Tribulation Transcendence Stage Great Perfection... It seems he is the strongest Old Ancestor of the Imperial Clan."

Ji Taichang glanced at the White-clothed Youth, but was not surprised in his heart.

As the strongest force in the Qingling Realm, it was normal for the Imperial Clan to have an expert of this level.

"Hmm? This ancient bell... The treasure is quite good, but unfortunately, your cultivation is lacking!"

The Otherworld expert's gaze fell upon the hunyuan world-suppressing bell. His eyes narrowed, yet he remained calm and composed, not taking the White-clothed Youth seriously.

"We shall see after a battle."

The White-clothed Youth's gaze was deep and weathered. With one hand supporting the hunyuan world-suppressing bell and the other drawing a precious sword, he strode toward the Otherworld expert to kill!
