"Heh, in the Immortal Realm, fellows like you wouldn't even be qualified to carry our shoes!" the Lord of the Ice Plains said indifferently.
As soon as the Lord of the Ice Plains spoke, Xuan Yu Zhen Xian's expression turned extremely ugly.
He knew that the lords of these forbidden lands were figures of immense background. If not for their failure in past immortal dao struggles, they would now be figures of supreme giant status.
"Hmph, just a bunch of losers, why are you barking like dogs!" Xuan Yu Zhen Xian coldly retorted.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Ice Plains' face darkened, and his aura surged even more intensely.
"Enough, stop spouting nonsense with him. Hurry up and destroy him, seize his Dao Fruit, or things will change later. I sense another True Immortal descending!" At this moment, the Lord of the Primordial Divine Mountain suddenly spoke.
Everyone's hearts tightened at the words and they quickly unleashed even more terrifying techniques.
After several more hours of fierce battle, Xuan Yu Zhen Xian was finally annihilated by the several peak powerhouses.
Upon Xuan Yu Zhen Xian's death, a Dao Fruit radiating infinite immortal light appeared from his body.
The Dao Fruit bore incredible Dao patterns and laws, seeming to contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
The few looked at the Dao Fruit in the center, their eyes filled with fervent desire, and at the same time, their gazes towards each other held a hint of vigilance and ferocity.
"Everyone, as we agreed beforehand, we will divide the Dao Fruit equally. Let's not let this immediate gain ruin our friendship. We still need to fight side by side in the future!" The voice of the Tower Master of the Western Royal Tower had a slightly soothing effect, instantly calming the greed in the hearts of the others.
Following this, they divided the Dao Fruit equally, and each departed to digest it.
...
Meanwhile.
At the realm gate.
Two more True Immortals, enveloped in dense immortal power, appeared.
"It seems Xuan Yu is already dead!" one of the white-robed True Immortals said slowly, as if sensing something.
"It was expected. Such an arrogant fellow truly treated the Desolate Ancient Continent as his backyard. It's no wonder he died!" the other black-robed True Immortal shook his head slightly.
"However, it's good that he's dead. If he weren't, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to descend!" the white-robed True Immortal chuckled.
The two True Immortals chatted and laughed, completely unconcerned by the death of Xuan Yu Zhen Xian.
They walked leisurely and unhurriedly outwards.
"Whoosh!!!"
Before long, a brilliant spiritual light suddenly emanated from the ring on the white-robed True Immortal's hand.
"Black Scale brother, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave for now," the white-robed True Immortal said softly, sensing the flash from his ring.
"Brother Bai Guang, please do as you please. I'll wander around at my leisure," the Black Scale True Immortal smiled faintly.
"Please be careful, the fellows in the lower realm are not to be trifled with. Don't end up like Xuan Yu!" the Bai Guang True Immortal reminded him.
"Don't worry, I'm not that useless Xuan Yu!" the Black Scale True Immortal shook his head.
The Bai Guang True Immortal nodded, then transformed into a rainbow light and disappeared into space.
"Acting alone is fine, at least I won't be held back!" the Black Scale True Immortal watched Bai Guang True Immortal depart, a glint of savagery flashing in his eyes.
"Senior, I request the use of your Dao Fruit!"
Just then, a low voice sounded in the Black Scale True Immortal's ear.
The Sect Master of the Primordial Demon Sect and the Holy Lord of the Chaos Holy Land appeared behind the Black Scale True Immortal, their eyes fixed on him.
"Heh, interesting. Two mere juniors in the Spirit Realm dare to covet my Dao Fruit? Have you grown tired of living!" The Black Scale True Immortal looked at the two who had suddenly appeared, his eyes filled with mockery.
"It's not certain who will live and who will die, Senior. Attack!" Li Daolin said calmly.
"Boom!!!"
With that, Li Daolin and Murong Shengtian unleashed incredibly terrifying attacks, bombarding the Black Scale True Immortal. A fierce battle erupted once more.
...
Northern Plains, the Land of Ice Plains.
Inside a desolate and silent ice cave in the Land of Ice Plains.
The Lord of the Ice Plains returned to the ice cave with a weakened aura. The surrounding area was filled with extremely dense ice spiritual energy.
"The Dao Fruit, though only a quarter, is enough for me to temporarily return to the True Immortal realm. Once I plunder more Dao Fruits, I might even be able to return to the Immortal King realm. Everything I once lost, I will reclaim!" the Lord of the Ice Plains murmured to himself, looking at the Dao Fruit in his hand.
"Huang Feng, bring me the Ice Marrow Divine Liquid!" feeling his weakened state, the Lord of the Ice Plains continued.
His strength was already inferior to the other lords of the forbidden lands, and after the continuous fierce battles, he had become depleted. He needed to recover before he could fully absorb the power of the Dao Fruit.
"Yes, Master, I have it here!"
Before long, a man in black fitted clothing respectfully walked into the ice cave.
"Quickly, give me the Ice Marrow Divine Liquid!" the Lord of the Ice Plains urged.
The man immediately walked swiftly to the side of the Lord of the Ice Plains and handed him the jade bottle containing the Ice Marrow Divine Liquid.
The Lord of the Ice Plains hurriedly took the jade bottle and was about to consume it.
However, before the Lord of the Ice Plains could open the jade bottle, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his vital energy within him was constantly draining away.
He looked down and saw a dagger radiating infinite dark power plunged into his chest. The dense dark energy was raging through the wound.
"You, you're not Huang Feng, who are you!" the Lord of the Ice Plains roared, erupting with his power to blast Huang Feng away.
"Heh heh, of course not. Lord of the Ice Plains, I'll be taking your Dao Fruit!"
A black aura emanated from Huang Feng, transforming into a figure enveloped in deep black energy, who was none other than the Dark Heavenly Lord.
"It's you, how could you enter the ice cave? This is impossible!" the Lord of the Ice Plains' voice was hoarse as he spoke, filled with immense resentment.
He never expected to fall to this fellow in the end, and through such a humiliating means.
"Nothing is impossible. You can only blame yourself for being too naive and trusting the wrong person!" The Dark Heavenly Lord seemed to be enjoying this moment and smiled.
"Xu Wu Guang, it was him!!!"
The Lord of the Ice Plains' pupils constricted. A figure appeared in his mind, and his expression turned extremely grim.
"Clever, but too late. Your life and your Dao Fruit, I want them both..."
...
A month later.
Eastern Wilderness, Valley of Death.
Deep within the Valley of Death, a peerlessly graceful woman, veiled by an ethereal aura, lay lazily on a peach tree.
In the woman's hand was a jar of peach blossom wine. She took a small sip, and the fragrant wine flowed down her exquisite face, wetting her clothes over a large area.
"Master, two of the three True Immortals are already dead. Aren't we going to make a move to seize the last Dao Fruit?" Beside the woman was a young girl with spirited eyes and delicate features, a peerless beauty.
