I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World
Chapter 121 ·One Palm Annihilation!
After Nether Soul received that sentence from the main body, he no longer had any scruples.
Can kill.
Two words were enough.
Nether Soul’s figure hid within the clouds and mist—let alone his aura, not even the slightest trace was revealed.
He watched that streak of firelight drawing closer and closer, slowly raising his right hand.
In the next instant, heaven and earth changed color.
Above the Eastern Continent, the sky that had originally been dyed crimson by the firelight suddenly darkened.
It was not obscured by dark clouds, but replaced by five-colored radiance.
The five colors flowed, interweaving and merging, spreading across the entire sky in a single moment.
The light was dazzling yet gentle and warm.
Within the radiance, a faint phantom of a world emerged.
There were mountains and rivers, cities and palaces, birds and beasts, and countless living beings.
That world phantom was vast and boundless, yet incomparably clear, as if it could be touched.
This divine ability was precisely—Five Elements Great Luo Heavenly Palm — Immortal Nation Within the Palm.
In the next moment, a gigantic hand condensed out of thin air.
That palm was enormous beyond measure. Descending from the heavens, it slowly closed toward that streak of firelight.
True Lord Scarlet Flame was speeding forward. Seeing the small island getting closer and closer, joy was rising in his heart.
Suddenly, his entire body stiffened.
An invisible force locked onto him firmly.
That force was boundless and omnipresent, as if the entire heaven and earth were rejecting him, suppressing him, imprisoning him.
True Lord Scarlet Flame’s expression changed drastically as he abruptly raised his head.
Then, he saw that hand.
Five colors flowed, blotting out the sky and sun.
It was slowly closing toward him.
“This is...”
True Lord Scarlet Flame’s pupils shrank abruptly, and an unprecedented fear surged from the depths of his heart.
He was a terrestrial immortal of the Immortal Realm, a descendant of the Flame Phoenix. He had witnessed countless great divine abilities and seen innumerable experts.
Yet at this moment, looking at that slowly closing hand, he actually felt utterly powerless to resist.
That feeling was like an ant gazing up at the heavens.
“No!”
True Lord Scarlet Flame roared in fury. Flames around his body burned wildly, transforming into towering infernos as he tried to break free from that restraint.
But the five-colored palm continued to close unhurriedly.
He struggled desperately, fled frantically, and unleashed all kinds of divine abilities and secret techniques.
It was useless.
That hand seemed to form a world of its own, trapping him firmly within it.
No matter which direction he fled, he would ultimately return to the same place.
No matter what divine ability he used, it would be effortlessly neutralized by the five-colored radiance.
“What… kind of divine ability is this?!”
True Lord Scarlet Flame’s eyes were filled with horror.
He had lived for tens of thousands of years and had never seen such a terrifying method.
The palm slowly closed, the five fingers gradually drawing together.
True Lord Scarlet Flame felt the surrounding space rapidly compressing.
The pressure grew stronger and stronger—so strong that even he, a being of the terrestrial immortal level, felt suffocated.
“Break!”
He exerted all his strength, summoning a crimson longsword and slashing toward the palm.
That sword was his natal magic treasure, a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure that had slain countless powerful enemies.
Yet when the sword light struck the palm, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, not even stirring a ripple.
“How is this possible...”
True Lord Scarlet Flame was completely in despair.
He looked at the increasingly close fingers, his eyes filled with confusion.
He was a terrestrial immortal of the Immortal Realm, a descendant of the Flame Phoenix. He had gone to great lengths to descend to the lower realm, all for the sake of obtaining the Lihuo Mysterious Pearl.
He was just about to succeed—how could this happen...
How could this...
The five fingers finally closed.
At that instant, only a faint glimmer of light seeped through the gaps between the fingers before vanishing.
Heaven and earth returned to stillness.
That five-colored palm slowly dissipated.
The five-colored radiance in the sky gradually faded as well.
At the same time, throughout the Spirit Realm—
Central Lands.
At the peak of a towering mountain tens of thousands of meters high, a white-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back.
His aura was as deep as the sea—he was clearly a peak Tribulation Crossing Realm existence.
At this moment, he was gazing toward the direction of the Eastern Continent, his eyes filled with shock.
“That fluctuation just now…”
“What kind of divine ability was that?!”
“That great demon that descended from the Northern Plains had an aura clearly at the peak of Tribulation Crossing, even faintly beyond it…”
“And yet it just… died?”
The old man muttered to himself, his brows tightly furrowed.
He had lived for millions of years and witnessed countless grand scenes, yet what had just occurred still shook his mind.
That hand, that five-colored radiance, that aura that even made his heart tremble…
Who exactly was the one who made that move?
When had such an expert appeared in the Spirit Realm?
Western Wasteland.
Taibai Sword Sect.
The Tribulation Crossing ancestor in seclusion suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the Eastern Continent.
“This is…”
“A powerful expert acted in the Eastern Continent and killed that great demon from the Immortal Realm in a single strike?”
“That aura… how mysterious, how domineering!”
The ancestor’s gaze flickered as he murmured, “The power of the Five Elements, forming a world of its own… this divine ability is simply unheard of.”
“Could it be some senior who has been in seclusion for many years?”
He pondered for a moment, then his mind stirred as he attempted to deduce the identity of the one who made the move.
Moments later, his expression changed.
He could not deduce it.
He could not deduce anything at all.
That person seemed to not exist within this world.
The ancestor fell silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly.
“The waters of the Spirit Realm are far deeper than I imagined…”
Southern Region.
Myriad Tribulations Demon Sect headquarters.
The Ten-Thousand Tribulations Demon Lord stood atop a blood-colored platform, looking toward the Eastern Continent with an uncertain expression.
He had clearly sensed that fluctuation just now.
That great demon… was dead.
Crushed to death with a single palm.
As easily as crushing an ant.
After a long silence, the Ten-Thousand Tribulations Demon Lord suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice:
“Pass down the order. From today onward, all disciples of the Myriad Tribulations Demon Sect are forbidden from stepping into the Eastern Continent.”
“Those who violate this—kill without mercy.”
Behind him, the elders looked at each other, yet none dared to ask why.
Eastern Continent.
Within the secret realm of a hidden sect, an ancestor who had been sleeping suddenly opened his eyes.
He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and was one of the few remaining old monsters of the Spirit Realm, long detached from worldly affairs.
Yet at this moment, he sensed an aura that made his heart tremble.
“The power of the Five Elements… forming a world of its own…”
“This is… a divine ability from the Immortal Realm?”
“No, even more profound than those of the Immortal Realm…”
The ancestor murmured, his eyes filled with doubt and shock.
He thought for a moment and attempted to deduce the origin of the one who made the move.
Moments later, his expression changed drastically.
He could not deduce it.
With his unfathomable cultivation, he could not deduce even the slightest information about that person.
That person seemed to not exist within this world.
Even more so, they did not exist within the river of karma.
After a long silence, the ancestor sighed softly.
“When did such a figure appear in the Spirit Realm?”
“No… such a figure is likely not something the Spirit Realm could nurture…”
“Could it be… someone from the Immortal Realm?”
The more he thought, the more confused he became. In the end, he shook his head and stopped thinking.
After all, he could not afford to provoke such an existence.
Let it be.
Across the Spirit Realm, countless great powers were all doing the same thing at this moment.
Raising their heads, looking toward the Eastern Continent.
Attempting deduction, only to gain nothing.
Falling silent, unable to speak for a long time.
They did not know who had made the move.
They did not know what realm that person was in.
They only knew one thing.
That great demon from the Immortal Realm—an existence with peak Tribulation Crossing strength that had committed countless massacres—had died in a single encounter.
Dead cleanly, leaving not even a trace.
And the one who acted had not even revealed themselves.
They had merely struck a palm in secret.
One palm.
Just one palm.
What did that mean?
It meant that if that person wished to kill them, it would likewise require only one palm.
Perhaps even less than one palm.
Those old monsters of the Tribulation Crossing Realm suddenly felt a chill on their backs.
They had lived for millions of years, considering themselves the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm, looking down upon all living beings.
Yet today, they finally understood what it meant—there is always a sky beyond the sky, and people beyond people.
No, this was no longer a matter of that.
This was simply…
Forget it. They dared not think further.
Eastern Continent, Azure Wave Sect.
Nether Soul withdrew his hand and glanced downward.
Within the Azure Wave Sect, those disciples were still in chaos, still terrified, still unaware of what had happened.
The man and woman in the pavilion were embracing each other, trembling.
He shook his head. His figure flickered and vanished into the void.
With the matter settled, he brushed off his sleeves and departed, hiding both his body and his name.
