Chapter 712: Long Life Fruit, Supreme Ultimate

In the Taiwei Grand World.

Zhu Xi, dressed in white, stood on the clouds, looking down at the vast land below. Behind her, there were several hundred others, each with an extraordinary presence, also gazing down, their faces full of shock.

Following their gaze, the endless land below was in complete ruin, full of craters, with mountains flattened, and black smoke rising, threatening to overturn the sea of clouds.

At the edge of the land, a sea of fire tens of thousands of zhang high raged, as if it would devour the entire world—utterly magnificent.

Zhu Xi narrowed her eyes. In that terrifying sea of fire, she saw a figure, and fear filled her eyes.

“Who is that person? How dare they strike at the Realm Mountain of the Divine Court?”

“So terrifying, those Divine Court experts were wiped out in an instant.”

“He seems to be a bit mad, could he have gone insane from cultivation deviation?”

“Even if he's gone insane, to have such terrifying power, his cultivation must be ridiculously high.”

“Forget it, since he's not after us, we better not act recklessly.”

The cultivators were discussing intensely. Although Zhu Xi didn’t join their chatter, she was just as curious inside.

In the Taiwei Grand World for hundreds of thousands of years, this was her first time seeing someone so powerful, and daring to act against the Divine Court like this.

Her instincts told her something even more terrifying was about to happen. The Taiwei Grand World was about to face an unprecedented catastrophe.

She hesitated, not knowing if she should flee from this world.

The Divine Court colluded with the Immortal Gods, committing the most wicked deeds. She always believed their actions would one day be exposed, and the Taiwei Grand World would see a new era. She wanted to take over from the Divine Court, to establish a new Holy Court. After tens of thousands of years, she finally built a power base. To give it up now—she couldn't decide.

And...

That figure in the fire gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Just then, an immense and heavy pressure covered the entire sky and earth. Zhu Xi and the others looked up. At the edge of the cloud sea, a mass of black energy was diving toward the ground, unstoppable.

That black energy shot into the endless sea of fire at great speed. The firestorm scattered, whipping fierce winds in all directions. Zhu Xi and the others immediately circulated their energy to block the scorching winds.

Zhu Xi squinted and saw the black energy vanish as soon as it plunged into the fire.

She had seen this black energy before—it belonged to a powerful being of the Divine Court, with earth-shattering cultivation. He once brought her utter despair. Fortunately, in that battle, his target was someone else, and she was merely caught in the crossfire, barely escaping.

A wild guess formed in Zhu Xi’s heart.

“You... who are you really?”

A terrified voice echoed, making the cultivators beside Zhu Xi pale in shock—they all recognized this voice.

It was Li Chengfeng of the Divine Court.

Li Chengfeng was a Vast Heaven Free Immortal, a famous Divine General of the Divine Court, who had slain countless enemies and was feared by all.

Whenever they faced Li Chengfeng, they could only look up in fear. They had never heard him speak in such a terrified tone.

Fear, despair...

Li Chengfeng was defeated right after descending?

Hundreds of divine senses swept out, and instantly, everyone gasped.

“Retreat!”

Zhu Xi immediately gave the order, then turned and left first. The others followed without hesitation, all scared out of their wits.

In the distance, the sea of fire dispersed. On the endless scorched land stood a white-haired man with a bare upper body. His right hand was raised high, gripping the neck of a purple-robed man, lifting him off the ground.

That purple-robed man was none other than Li Chengfeng of the Divine Court. His hair was disheveled, face covered in blood, eyes full of terror.

One strike!

With just one strike, the other had shattered his Dao Fruit, completely dispersing all the power within his body.

He had no strength left to resist, only waiting for death.

The other’s unfathomable power made him uneasy. He felt that the Divine Court was in big trouble.

He had never faced such an enemy before, and the aura coming from this man made him feel deeply disturbed.

The white-haired man’s figure was tall and muscular, with clear lines of muscle on his upper body, crisscrossed by blood-red markings like flames. His skin was pale, his face handsome, but his pupils were an eerie, ghostly white, making him look strange.

“Long Life Fruit... Long Life Fruit...”

The white-haired man asked coldly, his voice broken, as if his mind wasn’t clear.

Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve never heard of any Long Life Fruit. If you came just for that fruit, I can have the Divine Court help you find it...”

Crack!

Li Chengfeng’s neck was suddenly twisted, his words cut off.

His eyes widened as his soul was trapped, unable to escape his body, and the next moment, he turned to ash, scattered by the wind.

The white-haired man turned around and flew off in a certain direction.

On the other side.

Zhu Xi and the others were still fleeing at full speed. They could feel Li Chengfeng’s aura suddenly vanish, which meant he had likely fallen.

What kind of being could make someone as powerful as Li Chengfeng fall in such a short time?

Zhu Xi was just as shocked. That white-haired figure lingered in her mind.

Faced with such a terrifying existence, she couldn’t think about anything else, only fear filled her heart.

Boom—

A deafening roar suddenly erupted across the heavens and earth. A blinding light surged from behind, engulfing Zhu Xi and the others, followed by an unimaginable storm of force.

At the same time.

In the depths of the universe, before the Realm Gate.

A Heavenly God opened his eyes. Reflected in them was the scene of the Taiwei Grand World. From the universe’s perspective, the Taiwei Grand World looked like a glowing continent, surrounded by countless small worlds. At this moment, that glowing continent was trembling, with thick smoke rising from a certain area.

“Hm? Where did this person come from?”

The Heavenly God muttered, beginning to calculate with his fingers, his expression growing more and more strange.

“Battle Spirit Sacred Court... Tai Shang Jue... It’s actually him? He’s still alive?”

The Heavenly God’s brows furrowed tightly. He stood up and stepped into the Realm Gate.

A violent wind blew from the depths of the universe, yet the Realm Gate stood firm, completely unmoved.

The wind raged for a long time. When it finally calmed, the Heavenly God still hadn’t returned.

On the other end of the universe, the blinding light around the Taiwei Grand World was slowly fading. The white-haired man appeared out of nowhere in the void, holding someone in his hand.

“You... the Battle Spirit Sacred Court wants to go against the Heavenly Court?”

The man in his grip was an old Daoist with an immortal aura, one of the hidden Immortal Lords of the Divine Court, named Han Sha Immortal Lord.

He could see the white-haired man’s cause and effect, tracing back to the Battle Spirit Sacred Court, a powerful Dao Court not under the control of the Heavenly Court.

The white-haired man, Tai Shang Jue, didn’t respond. He grabbed Han Sha Immortal Lord by the head and stepped into the void.

Ahead, a crack in space-time appeared, and he stepped into it, taking Han Sha Immortal Lord with him. They vanished, and the crack sealed as if nothing had ever happened.

But the Heavenly Dao light over the Taiwei Grand World was still fading, a sign that a world-shaking battle had just taken place.
