Immortal of the Ages

Yun Xiao's scouts had pinpointed the enemy army at two locations and communicated back using flying talismans.

"Each force has 1,500 troops, with four Heavenly Deity Alliance sects joining them. Both forces are highly formidable, with no shortage of top-tier geniuses. Judging by their marching time, they will rendezvous near the Extreme Yin Star and attack us together," Hai Qing's voice turned chilly.

Attacking simultaneously, not one after the other!

The reason for splitting into two groups was naturally because the Dragon Devil Clan was mobilizing righteous warriors in two different sectors of the Grand Assembly Arena to maximize their combat power.

"When it comes to boasting, they’re not boasting at all. Every attack, they come with all they’ve got."

If it weren’t for their large numbers and slow movements, Yun Xiao would have no time to defend.

Now hearing that the enemy had a righteous army of 3,000 geniuses, panic spread across the Extreme Yin Star.

Yun Xiao's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the star map a few times before suddenly saying, "If they successfully rendezvous and attack, we’ll have a hard time holding back 3,000 people."

"Isn’t that obvious? Just tell us the solution," Feng Yao scoffed.

"How do we stop them? Do we send an elite team to disrupt one group and leave the other group for a bloody battle?" Feng Yao asked.

"No." Yun Xiao shook his head, pointing to the star map. "I’ll block this group, and leave the remaining group to you and the other 1,000."

"What?!"

Hai Qing, Feng Yao, along with Bai Lu, Zu Wei, Mu Zixiao, and others nearby, were stunned.

"You’ll block a group yourself?" Hai Qing stammered.

"Yes." Yun Xiao nodded.

"Uh, you're one person, how do you block 1,500 people? If they’re determined to march forward, you can’t stop them." Hai Qing wasn’t denying Yun Xiao’s combat prowess and escape abilities; she was stating the facts.

"Because I am the Star Liege, because they hate me enough, and because I’m their primary target to kill. If I provoke them even slightly, they’ll have only eyes for me," Yun Xiao said calmly.

Everyone didn’t deny this. Those people truly hated Yun Xiao to the core.

They couldn’t kill Feng Yao, not even torture her, but Yun Xiao, they hated him to the point of heart-wrenching agony.

"Are you really going to be so brave?" Feng Yao knew he was formidable, but at this moment, she was somewhat taken aback, feeling it was too exaggerated.

"Enough with the nonsense." Yun Xiao glared at her. "I’m handing this over to you as the commander. A thousand people backed by the Extreme Yin Star. If you lose the Parent Flag, I’ll kill you."

"Tch." Feng Yao rolled her eyes. "You're the one trying to take on 1,500 people alone. We have so many people, what are we afraid of? Don’t end up in a heap and need us to save you."

"Heh." Yun Xiao smiled.

"Yun Xiao, when are you setting off?" Hai Qing and her sisters were still a bit stunned, their voices a bit mushy, eyes full of admiration for Yun Xiao.

Indeed, their eyes held a hint of obsession.

"I’m leaving right now," Yun Xiao said.

"So soon…"

Before they could react, he had vanished like a flash of swordlight—swift in arrival, swift in departure.

"Then which group are you going to block?" Feng Yao asked casually, as usual.

Yun Xiao glanced back and said, "On this side, there are two Young Dragon Lords and the Elysian Immortal Palace, right? Plus the direct disciples of that old hag Gong Tianjian? I'm taking that group."

Feng Yao couldn't help but feel angry, biting her lip. "You're going to find that big breasted…"

Obviously, she already knew about the incident between him and Shen Nanyin.

There were women in this world whose talents surpassed hers in scale; she found it hard to accept.

Of course, a greater scale didn't mean more beautiful. If we were talking about absolute perfection, without a single flaw, it had to be the Mortal Dust Devil.

"Hey, we're at the precipice of life and death, stop talking nonsense." Yun Xiao glanced at her, too lazy to explain, allowing Feng Yao's imagination to run wild.

Without a word of farewell, he mounted his Sovereign Sword and flew away, vanishing in a flash before everyone's eyes!

It was still the same approach. He'd go off on an expedition on his own, while the rest stayed to defend.

Even with the enemy numbering 3,000 geniuses, Yun Xiao would proceed the same way!

Yun Xiao's strategic arrangements were heard by Bai Lu, Zu Wei, Mu Zixiao, and others, even reaching the Million Starlight Palace.

Without a doubt, everyone's hearts were in turmoil.

"Too confident, too brazen, a model for our generation!" Bai Ao shouted excitedly.

Honestly, he couldn't help but admire Yun Xiao somewhat.

The same event, seen by different eyes, elicited naturally different reactions.

Even on the Extreme Yin Star, most of the captives exchanged glances, no words spoken.

To them, it was clear Yun Xiao was insane! He was a sheep entering a tiger's den, a moth drawn to the flame!

The most pessimistic, of course, were the latest 500 newcomers, with the relatively more optimistic being Bai Lu, Gusu Yan, and the others.

"So, what do we do?" Gusu Yan looked at everyone.

"Either way, facing only one group would reduce the pressure somewhat," Jiang Dongcheng said.

"He's heading out on his own while we're waiting here; surely his side will meet them first. We'll wait for updates," Hu Li said.

"One man to stop 1,500 geniuses, including two Young Dragon Lords and talents like Yun Lingchen and Zhao Canglan, who are Fifth Baptism Realm geniuses… Isn't he being a bit too confident?" Gusu Yan still found Yun Xiao's arrogance hard to accept.

"Doubting and speculating serve no purpose. Just watch!" Bai Lu declared with a deep voice.

Beside her, Bai Ao whispered disdainfully, "What’s the point? He's definitely heading there for round two, with the Young Dragon Lord getting cuckolded again."

"Shut up!" Bai Lu's face flushed red as she recalled the scene, muttering under her breath, "Good-for-nothing scoundrel!"

Even after cursing, she wasn’t appeased and added, "He's clearly a celestial slave, yet still so restless. People crave what they lack the most. What’s the point if you don't even have your manhood?"

"Sis, you’d better keep quiet, or he'll go after you too. Then, Gusu Yan will be crying his heart out," Bai Ao softly warned.

Furious, Bai Lu grabbed her brother by the neck, shaking him vigorously to vent her anger.

Meanwhile, after Yun Xiao departed, Feng Yao took up the Parent Flag and loudly proclaimed, "Everyone, follow me into the Extreme Yin Star. Form lines in front of me to make it easier for me to shoot arrows!"

▬ι══🪦✧⚰

As the 1,500 exquisitely dressed, majestic, and awe-inspiring geniuses of the Alliance Army streaked across the starry void of the Grand Assembly Arena, even the surrounding Taiyi Sourcecores seemed to glow brightly!

These 1,000 prodigies from the Dragon Devil Clan, along with the 500 young geniuses from the Elysian Immortal Palace, had been streamlined.

Those who had joined midway last time and abandoned their posts could no longer catch the eye of the Young Dragon Lord Long Hao.

So, this force of 1,500 Alliance Army soldiers truly represented a populace of geniuses, all possessing superior bloodlines, noble backgrounds, and countless accomplishments.

They embodied the future of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River!

At their core were the elite talents from the Dragon Devil Clan and Elysian Immortal Palace, each boasting over 50 top-tier disciples, at or above the level of Samsara Disciples!

Some had even reached the level of Valkyries, surpassing even Zu Wei.

Of course, it wasn’t that Zu Wei lacked talent. Like Meng Huan, she was simply younger. Perhaps the next Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects would truly be her time.

But this session was destined to belong to the Southern Divine Dragon Realm and Elysian Immortal Palace.

The most dazzling among the 1,500-strong army were undoubtedly three couples.

The first two were Long Hao and Shen Nanyin; and Long Kun and Shi Feifei!

Amidst these two towering, handsome and enchanting nine-foot-tall giants, the pair of ordinary height humans did not lose any of their radiance—in fact, they shone even brighter.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

One youth stood out, dressed in blue, his hair flowing like waves, his handsome features and natural demeanor embodying the essence of a celestial being stepped out of a painting.

His presence, appearance, and aura possessed the depth of a vast ocean and the clear, blue clarity of seawater, like a flawless blue sapphire in the sea, eliciting countless admirations.

Zhao Canglan was known by all in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River.

He was the sole direct disciple of Gong Tianjian, and his modest beginnings belied his meteoric rise. His life journey was a beacon for young cultivators.

Now, as he transcended countless ranks to ascend the pinnacle of the Elysian Immortal Palace, facing that noble and exalted silhouette, people couldn’t help but sigh—it was the most beautiful ending to a legend.

Zhao Canglan’s talent made him worthy of being the most desired bachelor of the Elysian Immortal Palace, destined to accompany the naturally unmatched Yun Lingchen.

And now, that graceful figure stood beside him.

She was a young woman clad in a short cloud-patterned dress, pure white as snow, truly deserving the title of the greatest beauty in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River. A single glance would imprint her image for a lifetime; every inch of her features and body was flawless, as if carved from jade, radiating a gentle glow.

In contrast to the dignified and charming demeanor of the two Young Dragon Consorts, she presented an entirely different style—youthful purity, captivating and slightly playful. Her lively, big natural eyes and soft pink cherry lips exuded a pure, unblemished beauty, like the cleanest of spirits, untouched by any defilement.

The most striking feature on her was her Corona. She had two Coronas!

This was the Elysian Immortal Palace’s most astonishing talent, comparable to the Ancestral Land's trifecta talent of sword, sigil, and martial arts. These two Coronas bestowed her with divine radiance and enhanced combat prowess. Most intriguing, the shape of the Coronas resembled rabbit ears…

So, Yun Lingchen looked somewhat like a playful, adorable cloud rabbit, her twin Coronas swaying like rabbit ears, making her even more lively and charming.

Such rabbit ears invited endless imagination.

In short, she was a girl whose temperament and beauty closely resembled Divine Dawn, exuding youthful charm.

However, unlike Divine Dawn—a fierce, untamable little white tiger—this maiden was sweet and endearing, seemingly no threat, like an innocent little white rabbit…

"Impressive."

Ahead of the 1,500 Alliance Army, a young man in white suddenly appeared.

He looked at the sweet and endearing little white rabbit among the crowd, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he made his assessment.
