Chapter 4625: Defeating the Enemy

The higher-ups of the Nangong Immortal Clan were not surprised, but Fairy Liuyun and many other immortals were shocked. Five Supremes in one clan—this was truly terrifying.

Grand Luo Golden Immortals who had cultivated an immortal body were already rare. An immortal body's physical strength alone was comparable to that of a King Beast at the same cultivation level. If one also possessed a top-grade immortal artifact infused with a Primordial Spirit Treasure or had mastered a Supreme Law, confronting a King Beast would become significantly easier.

Among those affiliated with Kunlun Immortal Island, Grand Luo Golden Immortals who had cultivated an immortal body and mastered a Supreme Law were rare. These individuals constituted a formidable core force against King Beasts. The fact that all five Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Wang family had cultivated immortal bodies could be attributed to the Taiyi Creation Pot. As the Wang family and the Nangong Immortal Clan were in-laws, they had access to high-grade pure spirit crystals, which, when refined into body-tempering elixirs and immortal wines, yielded exceptional results.

This was evident from the emergence of numerous Taiyi Golden Immortals with cultivated immortal bodies within the Nangong Immortal Clan, Kunlun Immortal Island, and Ten Thousand Beast Palace. However, the mastery of Supreme Laws was not something that could be achieved merely through spirit crystals.

External factors such as cultivation techniques, natal spirit beasts, formations, and high-grade immortal artifacts were ultimately not decisive. In terms of profound heritage, the Wang family could not surpass the Kunlun Dao Ancestor.

The Kunlun Dao Ancestor had over thirty Grand Luo Golden Immortals under his command. Only a small fraction of them had mastered Supreme Laws, and even fewer had achieved both the mastery of Supreme Laws and the cultivation of an immortal body.

Nangong Changlong, Nangong Changqing, and Nangong Yunxin had all cultivated immortal bodies, which reduced their pressure in one-on-one combat. Nangong Changqing, who mastered spatial laws, had the easiest time and had already severely wounded the Nine-Colored Chaos Beast.

After Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingbai eliminated their respective Chaos Beasts, they went to assist Nangong Changlong and Nangong Yunxin.

Nangong Dezhi was engaged with Hu, whose cultivation was higher than Xiao's. The stronger the amplification of Hu's berserk divine ability, the more formidable it became, making it difficult to determine a victor.

Hu was unconcerned, believing that once Xiao and Xiong had dealt with the Green Lotus Immortals, the remaining issues would be easily resolved.

If the Hunxie King Tribe had known earlier that all five Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Wang family had cultivated immortal bodies and mastered Supreme Laws, they would not have sent only one King Beast to assist. But now, it was too late.

In less than fifteen minutes, Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingbai had helped Nangong Changlong and Nangong Yunxin eliminate two Grand Luo Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts, and Nangong Changqing had also slain one. They then turned to assist Nangong Dezhi against Hu.

"What's happening! Xiao, Xiong, what are you doing?"

Hu roared. All five of the Wang family members had cultivated immortal bodies, and Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingbai even commanded temporal laws, placing immense pressure on Hu.

Logically, after such a long time, they should have dealt with the Green Lotus Immortals. Yet, they still hadn't.

"They've already gone to meet the King of Hell. You're next."

A cold male voice rang out.

No sooner had the words faded than numerous cracks appeared in the void, tearing open a large hole from which Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan emerged.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were covered in blood, their clothes stained crimson, appearing like two blood-soaked figures. Their garments bore clear scratches, their auras were weak, and they seemed heavily injured.

This was, of course, an act.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had fiercely engaged Xiao and Xiong within an independent space, an encounter that had unexpectedly created an opportunity for them.

Wang Changsheng, utilizing "Size As You Wish," "Sky-Treading Steps," and "Eight-Armed Vajra," swiftly eliminated Xiong with Wang Ruyan's assistance. The remaining Xiao was no match for them and could not escape.

In this battle, whether they eliminated the invading Grand Luo Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts or not, the Chaos Beasts would return and summon more elites. It was a no-win situation.

With the Wang family's current strength, they were relatively safe on the Chaos Continent, as the Dao Ancestor could still provide some oversight. However, if the entire clan were to retreat to the rear, without the Dao Ancestor's protection, they would face threats far greater than just Chaos Beasts.

If they had retreated from the Chaos Continent earlier, the Wang family would not have been able to acquire so many cultivation resources or produce so many Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Furthermore, staying in the rear would inevitably lead to conflicts with local forces, and there simply wouldn't be enough cultivation resources to sustain the entire Wang clan.

The Sky Morning Sea region had long been unable to sustain the Wang family. Ninety percent of the family's income now originated from the Chaos Continent.

Wang Changsheng had also considered relocating the entire clan to a resource-rich area in the rear, but all such places were already claimed by major powers. These powers had allies and intermarriages, meaning the Wang family would have to eliminate all of them upon arrival. Even then, the family's source of income would remain a significant problem.

The Wang family and the Nangong Immortal Clan's decision to eliminate the Chahar Tribe this time was also driven by the need for cultivation resources.

Their ability to eliminate Xiao and Xiong would undoubtedly draw the attention of the Chaos Beasts. However, there was a significant difference between easily eliminating them and eliminating them while appearing severely wounded.

They had deliberately consumed some auxiliary immortal elixirs to feign severe injury, hoping to reduce the level of attention the Chaos Beasts and the outside world would pay to them.

"What! You eliminated Xiao and Xiong!"

Hu exclaimed in disbelief.

It was truly difficult for Hu to believe. Xiao was a King Beast, and Xiong had even mastered spatial laws.

Even if they couldn't win, how could they not have escaped?

There was only one possibility: the Green Lotus Immortals had swiftly killed Xiong and then teamed up to eliminate Xiao, which would explain their severe injuries. But Xiong had mastered spatial laws; even if it couldn't win, surely it could have evaded them!

Nangong Dezhi was using spatial laws to entangle Hu.

With this, nine Grand Luo Golden Immortals were now confronting Hu.

Dazzling nine-colored spiritual light erupted from Hu's body, transforming it into an afterimage as it sped away.

A powerful spatial force emerged, attempting to restrain Hu. However, as a mid-Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the amplification from its berserk divine ability was considerable.

The void ahead rippled, and a massive void opened, from which a giant Sea-Stabilizing Pearl flew out, smashing into Hu and sending it flying backward. Two tiny cracks appeared on the Chaos battle armor covering its body.

"The amplification from its berserk divine ability is immense!"

Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised, as Xiao, an early Grand Luo Golden Immortal, had a less significant amplification from its berserk divine ability compared to Hu.

The two top-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons on the Earth-tier immortal ship fired simultaneously, sending two thick red beams of light streaking forth. They accurately struck Hu, producing two dull thuds.

It transformed into an afterimage and swiftly sped away into the distance.

"Yunxin and Fairy Ye will remain in Sky Phoenix City. The rest of you, follow me," Nangong Dezhi said, pursuing Hu, with Wang Changsheng and the others following suit.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, didn't you request reinforcements from Kunlun Immortal Island?" Fairy Liuyun asked, puzzled.

Sky Phoenix City possessed a direct teleportation array that could instantly transport individuals to Kunlun Immortal Island. Logically, Kunlun Immortal Island should have dispatched reinforcements. Ten Grand Luo Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts attacking Sky Phoenix City, especially with two King Beasts leading them, was unprecedented within Kunlun Immortal Island's territory.

"We requested reinforcements immediately. It's strange, why haven't they arrived yet?" Nangong Yunxin asked, puzzled.

Last time Xiao led an attack on Sky Phoenix City, with three Grand Luo Golden Immortals defending, the city remained unharmed. With Nangong Dezhi, Nangong Yunxin, Nangong Changlong, and Nangong Yuwei all present, even if Xiao were to lead another attack with a few more Grand Luo Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts, they were confident they could hold them off, especially with Kunlun Immortal Island backing them.
