Chapter 4791: Mixed Battle

"Nine Thunders, you're here too." Wu Yueying's gaze fell upon a burly old man in a golden robe.

The old man in the golden robe was significantly larger than a human, and his aura was as vast as the ocean. His skin was marked with lightning-like patterns.

"Luoxiao, I was wondering why you disappeared before the Great Dao War. So you were trapped here." Han Long's gaze landed on a broad-shouldered, black-shirted man, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The muscular man in the black shirt was only at the late Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level. He was also a member of the Ancient Immortal Court and had disappeared before the Great Dao War, becoming untraceable and unreachable. Some speculated he had defected to the Chaos Beasts, causing the Ancient Immortal Court to alter some of its deployments.

"Elder Han, what exactly is this place?" Luoxiao asked curiously.

"Kill them all and compete for the Primordial Dao Stone," Wei commanded.

Currently, there were thirty-nine people in the city: sixteen Dao Ancestors, with the rest being Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

"I withdraw.""I withdraw too."Several Grand Luo Golden Immortals withdrew. It was a joke to expect them to compete with Dao Ancestors for treasures; that would be seeking death.

Neither side intervened, and before long, sixteen Dao Ancestors remained in the city: eleven Immortals and five Chaos Beasts.

"Slay them, and then we'll decide the ownership of the Primordial Dao Stone," Dao Ancestor Nine Thunders declared, his booming voice echoing throughout Primordial City.

Immediately after speaking, he unleashed a thick bolt of nine-colored Immortal Thunder, imbued with the power of six fundamental laws, striking towards Wei. Wei showed no fear, activating her fundamental power to counter it.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan moved to engage a giant, ten-colored Chaos Beast that wielded a greenish-blue copper hammer. Like many of the combatants, they had used treasures to alter their appearances, making it highly unlikely they would be recognized. From a numerical standpoint, the Immortals held the advantage. Regarding the number of fundamental laws: Dao Ancestor Nine Thunders had opened six fundamental laws but no supreme fundamental laws. Han Long had opened five fundamental laws, including a supreme fundamental law. Wu Yueying had opened five fundamental laws, and Wu Yuebin had opened four, neither possessing a supreme fundamental law. Mu Shuangshuang had also opened five fundamental laws but no supreme fundamental law.

Nine Thunders, Han Long, and Mu Shuangshuang were tasked with confronting Wei. Wu Yueying and Wu Yuebin faced Xia. Wang Qingshan and Wu Nianhong engaged a ten-colored Chaos Beast, while Cai Ling and another Dao Ancestor dealt with a Chaos Beast.

Immediately, continuous explosions erupted.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, utilizing only two fundamental laws, still managed to suppress the ten-colored Chaos Beast. This particular Chaos Beast had opened three fundamental laws and possessed a Dao foundation, but no supreme law.

Wang Qingshan wielded a golden, shimmering flying sword to attack the ten-colored Chaos Beast. He had mastered two fundamental laws and possessed a Dao foundation. Wu Nianhong had mastered three fundamental laws and also had a Dao foundation, but neither possessed a supreme fundamental law.

The ten-colored Chaos Beast, despite having opened four fundamental laws without any supreme ones, was still able to overpower them. In terms of power comparison, the Immortals held the advantage. Wang Qingshan and Wu Nianhong only needed to keep the Chaos Beast occupied for a short while until Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan finished their own enemies and could come to assist them.

Just then, a scream echoed as a pot-bellied old man in a golden robe was sent flying backward, his right leg severed and bleeding profusely. His eyes wide with horror, he stared at Cai Ling.

"Pseudo-Immortal! You actually defected to the Chaos Beasts!" the old man in the golden robe exclaimed, frowning.

No sooner had he spoken than a flash of red light appeared, revealing a small, shimmering red seal that instantly expanded and plummeted down. The old man in the golden robe tried to evade, but a powerful gravitational force enveloped him. He quickly conjured a golden halberd to meet the colossal red seal. The golden halberd clashed with the massive red seal, producing a dull clang of metal on metal and showering sparks. Despite this, the golden halberd slowly descended.

A blur streaked past, and the ten-colored Chaos Beast appeared before him, swinging its halberd to pierce the golden-robed old man's defenses. The halberd impaled his head. As soon as his nascent soul left his body, it was drawn by a powerful suction force into the mouth of the ten-colored Chaos Beast and swallowed.

Having eliminated one Dao Ancestor, Cai Ling and the ten-colored Chaos Beast moved to confront Wang Qingshan and Wu Nianhong.

Cai Ling made a hand seal, causing the red colossal seal to glow brightly and smash down towards Wang Qingshan. Wang Qingshan made a sword seal, and his golden flying sword instantly flared with light, rising to meet the red colossal seal. The golden flying sword collided with the massive red seal, producing a muffled metallic clang. With a wave of his right hand, a massive greenish-blue sword light swept out, imbued with the power of two fundamental laws, heading straight for Cai Ling. Cai Ling showed no fear. With a slap of her right hand towards the void, a giant red palm flashed forth, carrying the power of three fundamental laws, and met the attack. The giant red palm collided with the greenish-blue sword light and instantly disintegrated, like an egg striking a stone. The greenish-blue sword light continued its trajectory towards Cai Ling. Cai Ling quickly conjured a red halberd to block it.

Just as Wang Qingshan was about to employ other techniques, a scream was heard. Wu Nianhong was sent flying backward, hurtling towards him before crashing heavily onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of vital blood.

"Be careful!" Wu Nianhong uttered.

The two ten-colored Chaos Beasts flickered into existence before Wang Qingshan, swinging their Dao artifacts to attack him. Wang Qingshan quickly conjured two shimmering immortal flying swords to block the attacks of the two ten-colored Chaos Beasts.

At that very moment, Wu Nianhong's eyes gleamed fiercely. His right fist shone with golden light as he unleashed a strike towards Wang Qingshan. A giant golden fist flashed forth, hurtling directly at Wang Qingshan. He had been feigning all along, solely to betray Wang Qingshan now.

Ahead, the void rippled, and a massive void appeared. The golden giant fist plunged into this void. The next moment, ripples spread through the void behind Cai Ling. A massive void opened, and a golden giant fist flew out, striking Cai Ling. Cai Ling was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood.

At this point, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had also dealt with their ten-colored Chaos Beast. Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and a golden, shimmering orb flew out—the Immortal-Concealing Orb, a mid-grade Dao artifact. He channeled a magical incantation into it, causing the Immortal-Concealing Orb to emit dazzling golden light and unleash a vast cloud of golden mist. This mist enveloped Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingshan, Cai Ling, Wu Nianhong, and the two ten-colored Chaos Beasts. Furthermore, this section of space collapsed, forming an enclosed area.

Wu Yueying and the other five were somewhat surprised to witness this scene. The successive appearance of traitors heightened their vigilance, causing them to eye each other with suspicion. This significantly reduced the pressure on Wei and Xia, which was beneficial for them. Cai Ling, Wu Nianhong, and the two ten-colored Chaos Beasts, working together, should be able to eliminate three Dao Ancestors.

"Madam Wu, when did your kinsman defect to the Chaos Beasts?" Han Long asked with a frown.

"I don't know either. Perhaps he isn't Nianhong, but an imposter. He is a key talent in our family; there's no reason for him to defect to the Chaos Beasts," Wu Yueying replied, her brows furrowed.
