Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 916: Revealing His Innate Talent!

Zhao Canglan spat blood, reminded once more that he'd lost something precious.

"Enough. Don't waste time," Yun Xiao said. "Zhao Canglan, have Long Hao and Long Kun bring the people back, or else... you know what." As he spoke, he pinched Yun Lingchen's ear. The little white rabbit trembled all over, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"You're scared? In your dreams!" Zhao Canglan roared.

"Zhao Canglan, tell them to return!" Yun Lingchen had finally had enough. Couldn't this Zhao Changlan understand the gravity of the situation?

Suppressing the Harmony Divine Palace was crucial for the Heavenly Deity Alliance, but not so important for their Elysian Immortal Palace.

Hearing Yun Lingchen's shout, Zhao Canglan snapped out of his frenzied state, regaining a bit of clarity.

"Fine! Don't rush me!"

His dao heart was strong enough that he could regain some reason even now.

When he turned around, he saw that Long Hao and Long Kun hadn't taken the people very far.

The battle here was too thrilling; most couldn't help but stop and watch. And most weren't from the Dragon Devil Clan but disciples from other sects who had been conscripted. No matter how much Long Hao and Long Kun shouted themselves hoarse at the front, the army's progress was still slow.

"Elysian Immortal Palace, bring the people back and save Yun Lingchen!" Zhao Canglan's voice carried a sob as he rushed over, screaming hoarsely.

Over there, some of the Elysian Immortal Palace disciples had already been moving slowly. Seeing the golden boy and jade girl being crushed, they panicked too.

"Return! Quickly!"

They called out to about a few hundred people, mostly those they had conscripted themselves. These people closely followed the Elysian Immortal Palace disciples and hurriedly retreated.

"We can't go back!" Long Hao roared.

After exchanging blows with Yun Xiao just now, he already felt inferior in strength. Now, in his once-proud heart, there was deep awe.

That celestial slave had become a monster!

Long Hao and Long Kun were resolute, leading a portion of the Dragon Devil Clan. With ferocious expressions, they shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Going to the Extreme Yin Star to seize their Parent Flag is the only way to deal with that accursed eunuch! Going back now will only let him control us, lose the big picture, and we'll fail to drive the Harmony Divine Palace out of the Heavenly Deity Alliance!"

"Yes! Everyone from the Elysian Immortal Palace, don't be afraid!" Long Kun continued sharply, "Yun Lingchen is Palace Master Yun's only beloved daughter. If Yun Xiao dares to humiliate her, it will surely cause the Elysian Immortal Palace to come out in full force and wipe out the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm! Even if that eunuch isn't thinking straight, the Three Divas won't let him act recklessly!"

"But what about your wives?" an Elysian Immortal Palace disciple couldn't help but ask.

Long Hao and Long Kun, the two Young Dragon Lords, nearly spat blood. They had been forcing themselves to ignore that; why bring it up again? Couldn't they pretend they didn't exist?

"They will die to contribute to the Southern Divine Dragon Realm!" Long Hao declared. After speaking, he looked deeply over there, unexpectedly meeting Shen Nanyin's gaze.

They really weren't that far away!

Shen Nanyin could even tell what he was saying by reading his lips.

Meanwhile, Long Hao was indeed reminding her:

"Just end it all with death!

Don't give that eunuch dog another chance to smear the Southern Divine Dragon Realm!

"As long as you die, everything will be fine!"

"Long Hao, Long Kun!" Zhao Canglan approached, his face deathly pale. "Let's retreat together! Saving Yun Lingchen is what matters!"

Long Hao glanced at Zhao Canglan's missing lower half, his expression conflicted. He shook his head. "Your Elysian Immortal Palace can go back. We have only one strategy left to break this stalemate. This is a millennial plan; those two can be sacrificed!"

"Long Hao! If anything happens to Yun Lingchen, you and the Dragon Devil Clan will be held responsible!" Zhao Canglan snarled.

"Get lost!" Long Hao cursed, his heart tormented and impatient.

This outburst made it clear that a legless Zhao Canglan would hardly earn his respect in the future.

"You!" Zhao Canglan felt the coldness of the world, his heart seething with rage.

As for Long Kun, he deliberately placed his hand below his navel, flaunting the overwhelming assets of their Dragon Devil Clan to Yun Xiao.

They marched forward without any inner turmoil, advancing swiftly.

Even if they scattered, they would charge toward the Extreme Yin Star!

The mocking laughter continued unabated.

Back in the Million Starlight Palace, the elders could only shake their heads with wry smiles, secretly noting that these youngsters knew how to strike where it hurt; their mindsets were indeed strong.

The celestial slave's weakness was that he could not be a real man.

Even among the Elysian Immortal Palace disciples, both men and women shook their heads at the ridiculed Yun Xiao.

Shen Nanyin listened to the mockery. Though abandoned, she could only accept it helplessly. She looked at Yun Xiao with a calm gaze, as if to say, "Go ahead, what can you do to me?"

She was considered reserved, but Shi Feifei, provoked by the crowd's ridicule, decided to play along. Since Long Kun no longer cared, she lifted her chin high, arching her eyebrow playfully at Yun Xiao. To her, he was just a child...

All the mockery pierced Yun Xiao's mind like 10,000 swords, cutting deep and relentlessly.

Originally, his identity didn't bother him at all.

But now, Si Ji had already tasted the Nine Dragons Ascension, and Wan Ji and Yu Ji were well aware...

Those taunts, sneers, and scornful looks swirled around his ears!

And so, Yun Xiao erupted in anger.

"Enough is enough! I won't tolerate this any longer!"

A true man stood tall in the world; how could he suffer such humiliation without cause?

He didn't want to be a celestial slave for even a single moment more!

"Who says there's no perfect genius in this world? I am one!"

As Yun Xiao roared these words amid the sky filled with laughter, blazing flames erupted from his eyes, and that fierce fire burned onto the golden-haired, dignified, and noble Young Dragon Consort, Shen Nanyin!

"Useless fool!" Shen Nanyin rolled her eyes.

Her words ignited a fire in him more potent than anything Thunder Emissary Cao had ever provoked.

Just after she spoke, she suddenly discovered that the Sky Sea Silk binding her had loosened!

Then, the silk lengthened and widened, suddenly transforming into a light-blue, underwater starry curtain, enveloping her and Yun Xiao within a semi-transparent, enclosed space!

From inside, looking out, specks of starlight shimmered!

From the outside looking in, one could vaguely see two figures, one large and one small—their outlines clear, details blurred, but enough to grasp the situation...

"What is happening?"

For a moment, everyone on and off the battlefield, as well as the onlookers in the Million Starlight Palace, stood stunned, watching the swirling Sky Sea Silk.

RIP! In the next instant, the sound of battle armor tearing exploded, and they saw Shen Nanyin falling onto the Sky Sea Silk.

From the silhouette, she appeared utterly bare, with only her long hair flowing!

The smaller figure was the same... People wondered if it was an illusion, but they seemed to see an innate talent no less than that of the Dragon Devil Clan within that silhouette!

"What!?"

In the following moment, Shen Nanyin let out a piercing scream, covering her mouth—a cry that swept across the battlefield and reached the Million Starlight Palace!

From that scream, one could hear profound disbelief, fear, and utter shock.

From that moment on, the entire world seemed to stand still...
