"Master, be careful!" Yiyini had seen this move before. The wind was biting cold, and a moment's carelessness could turn one into a frozen sculpture, shattered to pieces.
A beam of ice, carrying immense dread, swept towards them!
Mingzhitian dared not be careless: "Five Elements Intertwined, Star Dragon, Thousand Stars Sword Slash!"
Feijiang also unleashed: "Thousand Thorns, Eight Desolations!"
Mingzhitian, holding the Imperial Heaven Halberd, appeared behind Aotian Wang. Benran Wang, wielding a bone-like Willow Fish Blade, suddenly swung: "Myriad Laws Wither!"
The surrounding air froze. Then, snowflakes began to fall, each a killing blow, surging downwards.
"Master, be careful!" Yiyini unleashed a blast: "Dusk Sky Descends!"
Mingzhitian had no choice but to resolve the immediate predicament: "Star Dragon, Jade Flower Halberd Art!"
The temperatures of ice and fire reached unpredictable levels, like snow transforming into ice, or ice into rain. The air seemed to explode, shattering into bits, and ice particles littered the ground.
Benran Wang knew he could not match them head-on and attempted to persuade them to surrender: "Wait! The three of you possess such formidable strength; your talents should not be wasted. My Lord, the Undying Divine Emperor, cherishes talent. He commands a million soldiers and is unrivaled. If you three are willing to pledge allegiance to my Undying Tribe, you will be granted riches and glory, with inexhaustible resources for cultivation!"
Mingzhitian interrupted him: "What nonsense are you spouting? You outsiders dare to invade the territory of my Xiugu Realm? Go back where you came from!"
Aotian Wang snorted coldly: "You refuse to see reason."
With a disagreement, the battle commenced. Mingzhitian no longer held back: "Is this all you've got? This is the end for you. Sword, come! Six Harmonies, Star Dragon, Jade Flower, Thousand Stars, Divine Sword Slash!"
They attempted to flee upwards. Yiyini happened to be descending from above, her sword slashing down: "Dusk Sky! Descend!"
With two moves, they separated the two opponents. Mingzhitian said: "Yiyini, Feijiang!"
"We are here!"
Mingzhitian said: "Keep Aotian Wang occupied. I will deal with Benran Wang first."
"Yes!"
Mingzhitian had already discerned that Benran Wang's Myriad Laws Wither was far more potent than Aotian Wang's Ice Terror.
Finally, Yiyini and Feijiang intercepted Aotian Wang. Mingzhitian, with the might of the Divine Might Realm at its twentieth level, instantly killed the stunned Benran Wang with a single blow.
Mingzhitian raised six Dragon-grade magic artifacts, their light flashing: "You should not have coveted the stars. Die."
"Swish, swish, swish!..."
The remaining Aotian Wang was impaled by the six artifacts like a tree, dead beyond any hope of revival.
The three kings of the disciples thus faded into obscurity. In a dark abyss, the ground and walls were covered with an endless expanse of white skulls. The Undying Divine Emperor, clad in an ancient, overbearing robe, suddenly opened his dark purple eyes! He had sensed the aura of his three disciples' demise.
To confront the three kings, Mingzhitian, Yiyini, and Feijiang had expended a vast amount of spiritual energy. They immediately sat cross-legged to recuperate.
After consuming elixirs, all three achieved breakthroughs. Feijiang advanced to the fifth level of the Divine Might Realm! Yiyini to the fourth level of the Divine Heaven Realm! Mingzhitian to the second level of the Divine Might Realm!
Soon, the news of the death of the three Undying Tribe disciples spread throughout the entire Xiugu Realm! The cultivators rejoiced, praising their invincible Immortal Cultivation Divine Emperor!
Yiyini approached Mingzhitian, hesitating to speak. Mingzhitian said: "Is something the matter? Speak."
Yiyini said: "Master, before we came to the Undying Palace, your subordinate received news that the Demonic Sect was being heavily attacked by a powerful Undying Tribe force. I initially thought that since everyone in the Xiugu Realm hated the Demonic Sect, I wasn't sure if we should help, and thus sought your instruction, Master."
Mingzhitian frowned: "That is ancient history. The Demon God has been vanquished. The Demonic Sect is no different from the righteous sects now; they are a part of the Xiugu Realm. You should have told me sooner. Moreover, I have some connections with the Demonic Sect. We will go there immediately."
"Yes!"
