Chapter 1048 Complete Suppression
Within the Four Symbols Suppressing Immortals Formation, the Pure Void Moral True Lord, hidden in the folds of the void, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes shone with a clear light like lightning, seemingly able to pierce through billions of light-years of obstacles, gazing directly at the southern void. There was no surprise in his gaze, only a cold, icy arc subtly curved upwards, clearly indicating that he had already discerned the other party's whereabouts and intentions.
Immediately afterward, as if confirming his prediction, the void a hundred billion light-years away in the southern part of Falling Phoenix Valley suddenly twisted. Dark red flames, like scalding ink dripping into clear water, instantly spread out a burning trail that pierced through the Milky Way. Even the stars along the way were burned into nothingness ashes by the terrifying high temperature, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
Five blazing flames tore through the void, bursting forth with an aura that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas. They were none other than the figures of the five ninth-rank True Immortals of the Fire Crow Clan, including Elder Lie Min. Flames surged around them, making them resemble five moving stars, eclipsing the surrounding billions of stars, as if they had plundered the light of the entire continent.
The leading Elder, Lie Min, had a piercing gaze as he swept over the Four Symbols Formation above Falling Phoenix Valley. His eyes then fell upon Lie Huo, who was "struggling to hold on" within the formation. His eyes flashed with a mixture of anger and urgency, and his voice boomed like a bell: "Lie Huo! Hold on! We are coming to save you!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Second Elder, Lie Qiong, behind him could no longer contain himself. His flames surged billions of feet, transforming into a dark golden fire spear that stretched across the heavens and earth. At the spearhead, the True Fire of the Sun and the Ghostly Fire of the Netherworld intertwined and collided, unleashing an aura of annihilation. Wherever it passed, a pitch-black passage was burned through the void, its edges constantly collapsing, pointing directly at the great array's light barrier. He roared, "A mere remnant array dares to trap my clan's elder! Break it for me!"
At this critical moment...
"Om..."
The Four Symbols Suppressing Immortals Formation suddenly shifted, its array patterns expanding outwards like a tidal wave, instantly spanning billions of light-years, encompassing the five ninth-rank True Immortals of the Fire Crow Clan along with the surrounding star field, forming a massive cage. Immediately afterward, the previously crumbling phantoms of the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts solidified abruptly—the Azure Dragon's scales gleamed with an ancient azure light, each scale as brilliant as a star, flowing with the aura of primordial chaos; the White Tiger's fangs flashed with a bloodthirsty cold light, its mane standing on end like steel needles, each seemingly capable of tearing apart immortal metal; the Vermilion Bird's wings ignited with the fire of burning the world, each flame capable of incinerating the universe, even distorting its rules; the Black Tortoise's shell carried the vast earth, its patterns flowing like the veins of mountains and rivers, bearing the weight of the primordial universe.
A terrifying pressure, enough to frighten even Elder Lie Min, a perfect ninth-grade True Immortal, erupted from the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts. Like a collapsing cosmic sea, it swept over Lie Min and the others, crushing them down. In an instant, the five ninth-grade True Immortals, including Lie Min, felt as if their bodies were being crushed by billions of universes. Their bones creaked under the unbearable pressure, and even breathing became incredibly difficult, as if they would be crushed into dust by this pressure in the next second.
"Ah—! Half...half-step Golden Immortal!" Elder Lie Min's expression changed drastically, his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and he exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "These four beasts actually possess power comparable to a half-step Golden Immortal! A trap, this is a trap aimed at our clan!"
His last shred of hope was utterly shattered—any one of the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts possessing the combat power of a half-step Golden Immortal was far beyond Lie Huo's ability to contend with, let alone all four beasts appearing together. The fact that Lie Huo could persist for so many billions of years and still send out a distress call spoke volumes.
"Hoo..." Elder Lie Min forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi, his gaze fell on his palm, and the unease in his heart dissipated a lot. "Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, otherwise we would probably be in grave danger today."
Before he finished speaking, a dark red flame shot up from his body, transforming into a crimson seal about ten feet in size in the void. The seal was covered with three-legged golden crow totems, and every line flowed with flames capable of burning down immortal realms. Within the flames, the phantom of a golden crow could be vaguely seen circling and crying out. It was none other than one of the treasures of their Fire Crow Clan—the Blazing Crow Seal!
"Om..."
The Blazing Crow Seal hovered above the five people's heads, with streaks of crimson-gold flames cascading down, enveloping the five ninth-rank True Immortals, including Elder Lie Min, like a waterfall. In an instant, the auras around the five people surged wildly: Elder Lie Min and Elder Lie Qiong unleashed the unique pressure of a half-step Golden Immortal, seemingly approaching the level of a mid-stage half-step Golden Immortal; Elder Lie Kun, Elder Lie Shan, and Elder Lie Yun, though slightly inferior, also broke through the ninth-rank perfection barrier, their auras approaching that of an early-stage half-step Golden Immortal!
Instantly, the terrifying pressure that had been crushing them and making it hard for them to breathe dissipated by more than half. The five regained control of their bodies, their eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.
"They actually brought the Blazing Crow Seal. The Fire Crow Clan is quite cautious." Within the Four Symbols Suppressing Immortal Array, the Pure Void Moral True Monarch's gaze narrowed slightly. During his previous soul-searching of Elder Lie Huo's memories, he had already become intimately familiar with the Blazing Crow Seal—it was one of the Fire Crow Clan's four supreme treasures, forged from the Ancestral Bird's true bones mixed with the Nine Heavens Divine Fire. Among quasi-Golden Immortal artifacts, it was considered top-tier, in no way inferior to the Time-Space Immortal Seal that his true self had exchanged for at the cost of fifty trillion battle merits. With such a treasure by his side, its power was comparable to that of a mid-stage half-step Golden Immortal accompanying him.
“If it were before my breakthrough, I would have had to ask other fellow Daoists for help to keep these crows. But now…” A hint of contempt flashed in Qingxu Daode Zhenjun’s eyes as he lightly tapped the void with his fingertip, “This Blazing Crow Seal is mine now.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the four sacred beasts in the formation—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—seemed to have received a divine decree. Their enormous bodies, spanning hundreds of millions of light-years, suddenly expanded another size. The patterns on their scales, manes, wings, and tortoise shells lit up simultaneously, and their aura surged like a volcanic eruption, growing wildly!
"Not good! This scoundrel actually had something to hide!" Elder Lie Min's expression changed drastically, his heart sinking as if he had fallen into an ice cave, a chill running from his feet to the top of his head. At this moment, the aura unleashed by the four sacred beasts far surpassed his and the Second Elder's; even the clan's late-stage half-step Golden Immortal ancestor was probably no more powerful than this. What terrified him even more was that the aura of the four beasts was still rising wildly, like a surging tsunami, endless and showing no signs of stopping, as if it was about to break through the shackles of the half-step Golden Immortal realm and directly approach the Immortal realm!
"Peak...Peak half-step Golden Immortal! This aura is still rising! Damn it! Which perfect half-step Golden Immortal is targeting my Fire Crow Clan? It's over! We're completely finished!" Elder Lie Min staggered, almost falling from the void, his flames trembling violently with fear. Endless despair washed over him and the four elders behind him—under the terrifying pressure of the four sacred beasts, their clan's treasure, the Blazing Crow Seal, began to tremble violently, emitting mournful cries. The three-legged golden crow totem on the seal even showed a twisted, painful expression, as if wailing for mercy. The Blazing Crow light surrounding them dimmed at a visible speed, and the surge of aura receded rapidly like a receding tide, instantly returning them to their original state, falling back to the ninth-grade True Immortal realm. Even the flame totem on their immortal robes lost its luster.
Immediately afterwards, the true immortal power within the five people was completely suppressed, like a stagnant pool of water. No matter how they tried to activate it, they could not mobilize even a fraction of it. Even the flames at their fingertips went out, leaving only a bone-chilling cold that rose from the soles of their feet, freezing their limbs and bones, and even their thoughts seemed to become sluggish.
"Senior! Is there some misunderstanding? My Fire Crow Clan has never provoked someone like you!" Elder Lie Min suppressed his panic and shouted loudly into the void. Although the Fire Crow Clan acted eccentrically, they also knew their limits. They would never dare to offend an old monster like a Perfect Half-Step Golden Immortal who was only one step away from achieving immortality.
"The Nine Realms Immortal War, where different Immortal Realms clash, does it need a reason?" The voice of the Pure Void Moral True Lord came from the depths of the formation, calm and even, yet carrying an undeniable coldness, piercing Lie Min's last hope like a sharp blade, severing all his thoughts.
"This..." Elder Lie Min was speechless. In the Nine Realms Immortal War, killing True Immortals from other Immortal Realms was commonplace, and indeed no reason was needed; the law of the jungle was the ironclad rule of this continent.
"Ow..."
Just then, the Azure Dragon of the East suddenly raised its head and let out a roar that shook the universe. Its sky-covering claws suddenly rose, carrying the power to tear apart galaxies, and pressed down on the five True Immortals, including Elder Lie Min. Wherever the dragon claws passed, the void shattered inch by inch, and even the light was distorted into strange arcs.
"No...move it for me!" Elder Lie Min let out a hysterical wail, his eyes bloodshot, desperately trying to activate the Blazing Crow Seal with his last ounce of strength. But it was all in vain; his True Immortal power was locked within his body, making it impossible for him to even move his fingertips. They could only watch helplessly as the dragon claw, covering billions of stars, descended with annihilation, leaving them without even the strength to close their eyes.
The White Tiger's roar shattered the heavens, the Vermilion Bird's flames burned the void, and the Black Tortoise's shell crushed the universe. The four sacred beasts unleashed their attacks simultaneously, leaving only the aura of destruction spreading wildly between heaven and earth. The Blazing Crow Seal let out its final mournful cry, its radiance utterly dimmed, and it plummeted from the sky. The figures of the five True Immortals of the Fire Crow Clan, along with the surrounding stars, were mercilessly suppressed the moment the dragon claws fell.
......
"Not bad, with this Blazing Crow Seal, my combat power can be increased by a bit... Hmm, strange, what exactly are those old geezers of the Fire Crow Clan doing? Even Elder Lie Min doesn't know."
