Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"No, what on earth does this... person want to do?"

Below on the battlefield, the leader of the Tragic Abyss Alliance and his party were focusing intently on Bai Yuzi, who was fiercely engaged in battle.

At this moment, every single one of them had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Zuo Qingtian was no exception.

The reason was simple.

Bai Yuzi could have left safely, so why had he chosen to stay and confront five Pure Yang beings' united front? It was clear to anyone with eyes that this move was thankless and strenuous, and if he wasn't careful, he might even put himself in jeopardy.

Yet, despite this, he made that choice without the slightest hesitation.

Had he lost his mind? Everyone unanimously shook their heads.

This behavior didn't match the impression Bai Yuzi had given to many beings over the past near hundred years.

So what was his real purpose... A specific being, or perhaps an ultimate treasure?

However, judging by his overwhelming strength, as well as his history of being aloof and solitary, it seemed there should be nothing on Bliss Fairy Island that could attract his attention.

So!

As if they thought of something, everyone's eyes simultaneously lit up.

A nearly identical thought suddenly emerged in their minds—the Opening God Seal! Perhaps only this could draw his attention, even to the extent of taking the risk of perishing, to launch an attack directly at those five Pure Yang beings.

And just as many beings on the battlefield thought they had found the right answer and continued to hopelessly fix their eyes on Bai Yuzi.

Hum! Hum!

The sound of magic treasures trembling suddenly rose from every corner of the Immortal City.

At first, the disturbance was very subtle and did not attract anyone's attention, especially as the battle involving the six terrifying figures in the sky was intense, with all beings focusing there.

However, as time went on.

This peculiar disturbance grew stronger and stronger and gradually caught the attention of the vigilant.

In one corner of the battlefield.

"This is it!"

A male of the Human Race shifted his gaze from Bai Yuzi high above and couldn't help muttering to himself, his voice slightly trembling.

A sense of coldness had wrapped around his heart.

Whether it was the wretched state of Zuo Qingtian, the brother of the Dao just now, or the faltering figure of the top being on the Devil God Ranking being besieged by those five Pure Yang beings above, all were telling him that he was likely to face a major disaster this time.

But at that moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, a sudden bright black radiance caught the man's curiosity.

"What is that?"

He exclaimed, about to turn his head to look directly at it, only to be met with a panic-stricken, pale face.

Above it, a small black banner was slowly rising, flickering uncertainly as if it were an ancient star appearing and disappearing intermittently.

"Fellow Daoist, please save me, this Star Banner has gone mad, suddenly starting to devour my immortal power like crazy, I can't control it at all."

The other party shouted in fear, with a hint of crying in their voice.

However, the man seemed to be completely deaf to the pleas for help, looking around to himself as his mouth involuntarily opened.

In just a few breaths.

More and more black Star Banners appeared in his sight, densely scattered in mid-air, covering the entire battlefield and presenting a spectacular sight.

Cries of shock rose around him.

Clearly, this sudden change was not isolated to one being but perhaps...

"Everyone who bought a Star Banner!"

The man gasped, an ominous thought occurring to him for no reason.

Being a cultivator at the Unity Realm Stage, and also a respected figure on the outside, of course his experience couldn't be poor.

He immediately thought of those three!

To know, the Star Banners were produced by them. And with all the Star Banners losing control at the same time, if one were to say it was unrelated to these three, the man wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

In addition, they had never revealed themselves, as if they were scheming something in the shadows.

All signs pointed to the possibility that those three had foreseen their current plight long ago. The Star Banner must be their contingency plan, otherwise, there would be no explaining the bizarre situation they were witnessing.

But when had they started selling the Star Banner? How many years ago was that?

The man's eyes widened in disbelief, and chills ran down his spine.

Wait!

As if realizing something, the man's Divine Sense swept over the Star Banner that had appeared above him at some unknown time. In the next moment, his immortal power surged uncontrollably, pouring into the Star Banner.

Yes, he had also bought a Star Banner back then.

Thinking of this.

A complex expression involuntarily surfaced on the man's face. He had thought that he and his peers had pounced on the chance to buy the Star Banners from that Brother Hei Shui at half price, thinking they had scored quite a bargain.

Now it seemed, it was all a trap.

Elsewhere, such violent fluctuations naturally did not escape the perception of the Feathering beings.

"The Star Banner, what's going on?"

Witnessing the changes in heaven and earth, Gong Yu, Wu Yusheng, and the master of Tragic Abyss unconsciously exchanged glances, each discerning the same bewilderment in one another's eyes.

The situation was evolving entirely differently from what they had anticipated.

At that moment, an intense sense of despair emerged unbidden within the three of them. It was the feeling of having all their meticulously devised plans shattered with a casual slap by someone else.

"Yinguo, is this your trio's trump card?" Zuo Qingtian wondered internally, a frown locking onto his forehead.

Humm humm humm!

The resonating sound of the treasure vibrated once again, quickly filling the entire Bliss Fairy Island, exuding an indescribable oppressive atmosphere.

It was as if a vast starry sky was about to collapse.

"Quick, look there!"

Someone seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but point in a certain direction, shouting loudly.

At these words, countless gazes turned simultaneously in the direction indicated.

There, three young figures sat cross-legged in the void, wearing white, black, and green immortal robes respectively, their faces solemn and dignified.

Above their heads hovered a purple great banner, each emitting a supremely majestic aura.

With the appearance of these three figures, or rather the appearance of the three purple Star Banners, the spontaneously awakening thirteen thousand two hundred seventy-three large and small Star Banners within Bliss Fairy Island seemed to find their mainstay. They immediately began resonating like a tidal wave.

Soon after, wisp after wisp of invisible starlight spread from Banner to Banner, linking them together into one entity.

As if influenced by some force.

Despite the clear daylight a moment ago, the next instant brought the descent of night, cloaking the wilderness. Under the guidance of the three purple Star Banners, over thirteen thousand Star Banners began to ascend gradually.

At this moment, anyone looking down from high above would have seen that the original Bliss Fairy City had disappeared, replaced by the slowly rising corner of an Ancient Starry Sky.

When the heavens unleash their killing intent, stars would shift in the celestial dome!

An increasingly terrifying aura surged against the firmament, locking onto the five Pure Yang beings above, including Shiyi and the hunched old man!

"Good!"

Seeing this, Bai Yuzi, who was about to make his escape, halted in his tracks and exclaimed joyfully, "Fellow Daoist, you still have such a move up your sleeve."

Clang! Without a moment's hesitation, he drew his pure white Immortal Sword and slashed towards the hunched old man in front of him.

On the other side.

The five Pure Yang beings also noticed the tremendous upheaval below. Especially after vaguely sensing the terrifying power of the rapidly approaching Ancient Starry Sky Array, their faces simultaneously turned grim.

They knew that they were in deep trouble now.

...

...

In just an instant, with Bai Yuzi's cooperation, the Minor Celestial Star Formation swallowed all six combatants in the aerial battlefield.

All noise ceased in a moment.
