The Unruly Immortals

"Miao..." As he watched Bai Lingmiao in the other's hands, Li Huowang's throat felt stuffed with cotton, unable to utter a word.

Yet at this moment, Zuo Qiuyong's actions were not over, a bloated mass of flesh began to grow within Bai Lingmiao.

With a "bang", accompanying the flesh mass's explosion, Bai Lingmiao's body together with the bone spurs impaled in her was instantly blown to pieces.

Perhaps intentionally, Bai Lingmiao's head, impaled by a bone spur, fell right in front of Li Huowang.

"Miaomiao!!"

Witnessing Li Huowang cry out in despair, Zuo Qiuyong burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~ Just enjoy it, for this is merely the beginning! In Da Liang, I fear you care about quite a number of people, don't you? They must all perish."

As Zuo Qiuyong spoke, he turned around, bending over to grab the fox-faced Heart Pan that had silently approached.

With the fox-faced Heart Pan's eyelids twitching incessantly, a passage leading from Da Qi to Da Liang appeared before Zuo Qiuyong.

However, compared to Zuo Qiuyong's massive figure, the passage seemed overly small.

But for Zuo Qiuyong, it wasn't a big issue, as long as any passage would suffice.

Zuo Qiuyong's gigantic fingers directly inserted into the passage, tearing forcefully, causing the passage to rip open instantly, resembling the enormous fissure just sealed by Chan Du.

At this moment, Li Huowang stared dumbly at Bai Lingmiao's head in front of him.

Xuan Pin stood beside him, not stopping Zuo Qiuyong, as he understood that by himself he couldn't thwart this corporeal Fate Commander.

As he pondered what to do, he suddenly heard Li Huowang whispering, "Xuan Pin, Xuan Pin!"

When he looked, he found Li Huowang, previously overcome with grief, now surprisingly calm.

"Miaomiao never came with us to Da Qi, this Miaomiao is merely an illusion I cultivated!" As Li Huowang uttered 'illusion', the head of Bai Lingmiao disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

"I was merely using the trick of the Oblivion Path to buy us some time!" Li Huowang stared intently at Zuo Qiuyong's distant back.

"Is a little time useful?" Xuan Pin asked back. "Can we defeat this corporeal Fate Commander with this time bought?"

Li Huowang did not answer, as he couldn't; he'd used all he could, even employing Cangqiang Ascension, yet he still couldn't move the opponent.

"I never fathomed Zuo Qiuyong would use this era not only to connect with Tianchen Country, but remarkably control the Heavenly Dao with flesh," Xuan Pin remarked in an appreciative tone.

"You're the Astrological Bureau, you're Da Liang's Astrological Bureau! If Zuo Qiuyong goes to Da Liang, Da Liang would utterly be in trouble, think of a way! Use the final measures of the Astrological Bureau."

Xuan Pin shook his head, "The past methods of the Astrological Bureau against Fate Commanders were to prop up a sky with Dragon Vein, preventing them from descending."

"But Zuo Qiuyong is already a corporeal Fate Commander, he is below, the Astrological Bureau's methods are ineffective against him."

A strong sense of powerlessness engulfed him, as Li Huowang felt intense unwillingness; he was unwilling to sit and await demise, for he hadn't lost yet!

"Ji Zai, Ji Zai!!" Li Huowang shouted at his shadow, attempting to seek the only possibility, yet the future self still did not respond, if he even had a future.

Neither Doumu nor Bahu were willing to help, not even his future self Ji Zai.

"No.... I haven't lost! I haven't lost!" Li Huowang suddenly raised his head, glaring at the opponent's figure.

His entire head began uncontrollably swelling, this was the first time he had struggled since achieving Six Wheels.

Li Huowang clenched his teeth, staring fixedly, and suddenly as he glared intensely, Zuo Qiuyong's immense chest and head abruptly opened up like a giant cavity.

Yet this mere fatal wound made Zuo Qiuyong burst into laughter, as if it merely scratched the back.

"Disappear!!" With Li Huowang's furious roar, his head exploded entirely, causing Zuo Qiuyong's flesh to vanish instantly.

Yet as bones and flesh layered upon each other growing, Zuo Qiuyong grew back again.

Although flesh might be made to disappear by Li Huowang's cultivation, the Heavenly Dao could not; as the Fate Commander governing the growth of the Heavenly Dao, as long as he controlled it, he could eternally regrow.

Li Huowang staggered and fell, watching Zuo Qiuyong who had already stepped halfway into Da Liang, utterly despairing, having exhausted all he could yet failed to inflict any damage.

"Perhaps, perhaps if I reach Seven Wheels, if only I can reach Seven Wheels! Then surely I can defeat him!" Li Huowang shouted unwillingly.

At this juncture, Li Huowang suddenly looked up, towards the thoughtful Xuan Pin. "I remember..... you're also Xinsu, right?"

"Black Taisui excels in absorption, Li Sui consumed my flesh for so many years, you surely are Xinsu, right?!"

Xuan Pin was stupefied, didn't anticipate the opponent would actually have such a thought.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded slightly, "Then take it back, consider it as returning flesh to the father and returning meat to the mother."

The head of a prominent figure within the tower stood erect, tendrils delved into the flesh, tremblingly delivering Divine Light as well as Innate Qi into Li Huowang's body.

Facing Zuo Qiuyong who's singularly focused on approaching Da Liang, Li Huowang braces unto his last sliver of hope, folding his legs to begin cultivation.

This was his only chance; if not seized, the illusion of Bai Lingmiao's past death would turn into reality.

Uncertain of how long time had passed, as Li Huowang abruptly stood up, he realized he had not broken through to Seven Wheels.

Zuo Qiuyong in the distance was already gone; he had now reached Da Liang, and Li Huowang dared not even think of what he might be doing now.

"Why not! Why still not! Why, although so strong, can't I protect those I wish to protect!!"

As Li Huowang yelled in despair, his mental state began to crumble; everything around him was uncontrollably changing rapidly, various characters and scenes morphing around him.

Zhuge Yuan's figure flashed and vanished instantly, "Brother Li, remember, you're cultivating not for Seven Wheels, but for Truth!"

This sentence abruptly detonated within Li Huowang's mind, suddenly realizing why he couldn't achieve Seven Wheels; for he always perceived himself as Six Wheels, hence would never reach the Great Accomplishment of Seven Wheels!

"I'm cultivating not for Six Wheels, I've already reached Seven Wheels,"

With Li Huowang's firm decision in his heart, some familiar images began flickering intermittently before him.
