Chapter 279: The Fearful Golden Immortal, Compromise_2
"Unfortunately, within this formation, I cannot utilize Immortal Dao Principles. Even the Path of Destiny is beyond my reach. My only option is to burn my lifespan to activate the Curse of Hastened Death, but with merely tens of thousands of years remaining of my life, I simply cannot kill a Golden Immortal with such a prolonged lifespan!" Yang Ji shook his head and said.
"It is said that the Laws of Destiny are omnipotent and supreme, and that even formations cannot contain them. It seems you still have shallow knowledge of the Dao. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to seal you." The Rotting Wooden Box spoke up.
"What do we do now? We can neither kill these Golden Immortals nor can we keep squandering our resources like this. I reckon they won't die before we do." The Buddha Child frowned and said.
Just then, roars of anger came from outside.
"Master Ancestor!"
"Boy, release my master ancestor immediately, or I will tear you to pieces!"
From outside the barrier, angry shouts could be heard.
Yang Ji looked out and saw seven powers rushing in murderously.
They were all descendants of these Golden Immortals, and right now they were watching their ancestors getting bombed by Yang Ji with sheer agony in their eyes, almost splitting their guts with rage, wishing they could immediately charge in and chop Yang Ji to pieces.
However, before they could even get close, the seven Golden Immortals issued frantic roars, "Don't come over, don't come over at all, there's a formation here, very peculiar—it can trap Golden Immortals!"
"What?" The disciples halted upon hearing this, their impulsive fervor instantly cooled down. They stopped in their tracks, exchanging grave looks with each other, their spines stiffening.
If even Golden Immortals could be trapped, then charging in would lead them to the same fate.
Having calmed down, everyone's minds suddenly became clear.
"Boy, release my master ancestor quickly, or my Yellow Dragon Palace will slaughter your entire sect, leaving no survivors!" A ferocious-looking Profound Immortal full of murderous intent spoke up.
"Before coming here, my master's clone told me that this guy is from the Wuji Dao Sect of the Taichu World. Let's capture all the people from the Wuji Dao Sect. If he doesn't release the master after one day, we kill one person. If not after two days, we kill ten, and if after three days, we kill a hundred," a leading Ultimate Immortal said sullenly.

"If you dare to go, then your master ancestors will be completely annihilated by me. If you don't believe it, then please listen to the screams of your master ancestors!" Yang Ji suddenly turned ruthless, actually burning a ten-thousand-year lifespan to activate the Curse of Hastened Death. A crystal light flew out and landed on the Golden Immortal ancestor of the faction that had spoken earlier.
This Golden Immortal ancestor felt as if his body and soul had been slashed viciously. He let out a miserable scream and realized that his lifespan had been cut by four hundred thousand years.
This revelation sent chills down his spine, and he trembled, "Don't go, nobody go!"
"Elder Ancestor!" Hearing the agonizing scream of their elder ancestor, the Ultimate Immortals outside became unsettled and panic crept onto their faces. "Boy, what have you done?"
Initially without a way out, Yang Ji, now seeing the disciples of the Golden Immortals rushing over, had a plan and said to the group of Golden Immortals, "Didn't you say I have a Destiny Treasure in my hand? Indeed, I have one, and each activation can cut down four hundred thousand years of lifespan."
Yang Ji voluntarily revealed the Curse of Hastened Death in his hand.
"Don't be fooled, this talisman, as you all saw with your own eyes, was stolen from my body. I have studied the talisman for countless years, and to activate it, one must burn their lifespan. One activation requires the burning of ten thousand years of lifespan and can only erase a hundred thousand years of someone else's lifespan. He is a Seven Tribulations Immortal—how much lifespan could he have? He only has tens of thousands of years. How could it be possible for him to eradicate us?" Elder Xiu Xuan immediately spoke up.
"True, I did snatch one from you, but I also have one of my own. You should have sensed it earlier." Yang Ji smiled, shook the crystal talisman in his hand, and it split into two, both looking exactly the same. "Your one and my one have already fused together, significantly increasing their power."
"Even if the power has increased, even if it can cut four hundred thousand years of lifespan in one go, how many lifespans do you have to activate it? How many times can you activate it?" Elder Xiu Xuan sneered derisively.
"No, no, no, I don't need to burn my lifespan to activate this talisman. Although I failed to slay the Dao Calamity, I gained some of my Life Origin, and I have touched upon the Immortal Dao Principles as well. I can use the Law of Dao Destiny to activate this talisman, and I can do so an unlimited number of times. Even if your lifespans are long and you could live for hundreds of millions of years, can you withstand my onslaught?" Yang Ji laughed, assuming the look of someone holding a winning hand.
"Don't be deceived by him, don't let him fool you. Hurry up and have your disciples capture the people from the Wuji Dao Sect to force him to release us," Elder Xiu Xuan spoke up with contemptuous pride. "We are Peerless Golden Immortals. Even if the Immortal Dao Principles are sealed, it's not that easy for us to die. This kid has been trying to kill us for over a decade—don't you understand by now? He simply cannot kill us."
"Your disciples have come, creating a crisis for him, so he has woven such lies to scare you. This formation blocks all Immortal Dao Principles, and even if he has understood some of the mysteries of destiny, he is also sealed and cannot harm us," said Elder Xiu Xuan coldly.
"That's laughable. The Path of Destiny is supreme. How could it be contained? I am now activating Destiny Techniques, and I can perceive everything in your minds." Yang Ji pointed to one of the Golden Immortals and suddenly laughed coldly, "Aren't you planning to have your disciples attack?"
