Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"How could this possibly happen?"

As he looked at the Immortal's corpse, the Nightmare Corpse, who had originally appeared completely composed, now couldn't help but have his eyes split open in horror, his mouth agape.

Even at this moment, if someone were to look towards the Nightmare Corpse, they would surely detect the trace of fear deep in the eyes of the other party.

He unconsciously swept his gaze across several figures nearby.

The fall of Shiyi's corpse signified something that the Nightmare Corpse was all too clear about.

Eliminated!

In this struggle for the Opening God Seal, they from the San Wangwen were clearly already out of the running.

"Which family is breaking the rules like this?"

The Nightmare Corpse's eyes flickered uncertainly.

After all, according to Shiyi's previous instructions, it was far from the time for internal strife among the five families.

So it was clear that inside that unknown Array, something unexpected must have occurred. Moreover, the most likely possibility was that beings such as those from the Mysterious Pavilion and the Martial Hunting Team had taken action on their own to launch a stealth attack.

Otherwise, he couldn't think of what kind of terrifying force could have caused Shiyi to have fallen into such a wretched state.

Afterwards, as if realizing something, the Nightmare Corpse couldn't control his footsteps and began to retreat slowly.

Now, he found it difficult to trust any of the creatures from the other four forces.

At the same time, the Nightmare Corpse was well aware that without the protection of Shiyi, the longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it would be.

So, for the sake of safety, he thought it best to leave early.

To the side, including the Yingquan King from the Mysterious Pavilion, the other four figures also took notice of the Immortal's corpse falling rapidly from the Tianqiong, their eyes simultaneously flashing with an unexpected reveal.

However, what followed was a burst of schadenfreude.

"It seems that the superior made his move early. Good, with the Opening God Seal, there's one less competitor."

Someone thought sneakily, a strange light involuntarily flashing in his eyes, his heart becoming exceedingly hot.

He seemed to have anticipated this situation long ago.

Besides, two other people also showed the same strange expressions on their faces.

They shared a secretive smile, then turned their heads together, pretending to be serious as they looked at the Nightmare Corpse who was slowly retreating.

"Fellow Daoist, where do you think you're going?"

Yingquan King asked with a sinister tone, directly freezing the Nightmare Corpse in his tracks.

"Yes, fellow Daoist, since the other four superiors have yet to appear, you're in such a hurry to leave. Could it be that you feel—"

Another creature's voice followed, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Yingquan King next to him: "Hey, what are you saying, fellow Daoist? Our five families have always been in the same boat, and the Nightmare Corpse Daoist certainly wouldn't have such dangerous thoughts."

"Yes, yes, what Ying Daoist said is true."

The Nightmare Corpse nodded repeatedly in agreement, with a drop of cold sweat involuntarily breaking out on his forehead.

Logically speaking, with his current Immortal body, he shouldn't be sweating. But given the current circumstances, he was hovering between life and death.

With the slightest inattention, the Nightmare Corpse feared he wouldn't be able to leave this place.

The reason was simple; from the words of Yingquan King and the others just now, he had already learned that Shiyi's death was definitely connected to the Pure Yang creatures behind them.

This undisguised attitude made his blood run cold.

Yet at this moment.

"That's not right. The wounds on the Immortal's body, why do they look so much like they were caused by Bai Yuzi?"

The Four-armed Rakshasa finally snapped back to reality, muttering incredibly.

He swore he wasn't seeing things; that terrible sword mark which nearly severed the Pure Yang creature Shiyi in half had a ninety-nine percent chance of coming from Bai Yuzi!

"What! Bai Yuzi?"

Upon hearing this, the Yingquan King and his group immediately let out a series of exclamations. The next moment, gaze after gaze turned to firmly fixate on the Immortal's corpse, which was falling faster and faster.

Even the Nightmare Corpse, who was preparing to flee, couldn't help but turn his head back.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zuo Qingtian also naturally noticed this detail.

"Is this the combat power of Bai Yuzi?" he murmured, licking his lips, his eyes still firmly on the extremely familiar Immortal corpse in mid-air, talking to himself: "They are all in the Feathering State, no less!"

Wait!

Then, Zuo Qingtian seemed to remember something, his eyes flashing suddenly.

That's right, the Array!

The enigmatic formation that could bind all five Pure Yang creatures within it. Bai Yuzi's ability to kill a Pure Yang creature was certainly not without the help of this great formation.

Zuo Qingtian's eyes flashed with a contemplative color.

He would not forget the presence behind this miraculous array.

"Yinguo, Hei Shui, and that Huan Meng, what exactly are their origins? Their planning is so deep, it's truly chilling. If not for this accident, perhaps all of us would have become their pawns in the end."

"No, that's not right. Aren't all the creatures within the Immortal City now at their mercy?"

Thinking this, Zuo Qingtian unconsciously looked towards the Tianqiong.

Though there was clearly nothing there, he seemed to see three formidable figures sitting in the midst of the vast array, casually holding the fates of countless Combining Dao creatures, including himself, between them.

Even a True Immortal had met with a tragic end of his Immortal body shattered, all within these three people's scheming.

How terrifying is that?

Not far away.

"Gathering the power of nearly all the Combining Dao creatures to arrange the Array, and capturing a True Immortal in one fell swoop, those three Daoist brothers... really have such an astonishing method? The Star Banner, the Star Banner, it seems that from the very beginning, they were prepared and planned."
