Chapter 1033: Deepflame’s Death

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s countenance turned extremely ugly when he saw this. The Deepflame Immortal King was a war general under his command and as such, was someone extremely powerful. However, Bai Wuya had actually suppressed him so badly that he was now in danger of dying.

"Leave this place," said the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. Even he didn’t have as many people of the same caliber as Deepflame Immortal King among his forces. It would be a waste for Deepflame to lose his life here.

"I understand, Your Majesty," replied the Deepflame Immortal King, but his expression remained extremely unsightly. To flee after being defeated. To him, it was an intense humiliation.

Bai Wuya frowned slightly. He manifested an immortal path and dashed towards the Deepflame Immortal King.

—rumble!— A fearsome abyss appeared, and the Deepflame Immortal King instantly entered it, intending to use it as a dimensional passageway to vanish completely.

Bai Wuya circulated his immortal might to the max and enveloped the entire abyss. It sliced the abyss into two, causing the Deepflame Immortal King to roar in agony. His eyes were filled with the flames of a towering rage, and he took out a spatial-type treasure to leave the area.

...chi... The eyes behind Bai Wuya held an unparalleled might. It imprisoned the spatial fluctuations in the area, forcibly tampering with the law of space. The space around the area began to convulse. The Deepflame Immortal King struggled, but he still failed to slip away. It was impossible for him to escape.

"Bai Wuya." The Deepflame Immortal King was filled with boundless light. Bai Wuya’s immortal might locked him down completely. With a finger attack, a piercing sound rang out as it damaged the Deepflame Immortal King’s body and rune bones. Blood flowed from the wounds on his body, dripping down to the particle world below.

"BAI WUYA, YOU DARE TO KILL HIM?!" In the air, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s eyes flashed with killing intent. Bai Wuya was actually aiming for the life of the Deepflame Immortal King.

Countless people in the particle world stared at this shocking immortal battle as great waves amazement rumbled through their hearts. They felt their blood heating up and coursing through them. This Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was unfeeling and cruel, treating everyone from a particle world like they were weeds or insects. They all wanted this person to die, praying that his forces would be defeated. Now that they saw the splendor of the white-robed Immortal King, they were naturally all very excited.

"You are just a projection formed from immortal sense, yet you also want to threaten Bai Wuya?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord stared at Eastern Sage’s projection as he coldly spoke. "In addition, so what if your true self was here? In a battle between our forces, neither of us are supposed to act. Even if your real self is here, you could only watch as Deepflame dies."

The hidden rule of the immortal realms: for this war between the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, immortal emperors were not allowed to act unless in truly critical moments. Otherwise, if the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor tried to kill the immortal-foundation experts and immortal kings of the Thousand Transformation Immortal Sect, then the Thousand Transformation Emperor Lord could do the same as well. If this carried on, the fact remained that both their sects would be annihilated, leaving only the two of them. It would be completely meaningless.

The Deepflame Immortal King was still struggling. He had taken out an immortal weapon, but at his and Bai Wuya’s cultivation level, it was a useless gesture unless the treasure was something extremely heaven-defying. His actions could only end in a futile struggle.

The Scarce Moon Immortal King had been closely following the battle of Bai Wuya and Deepflame, ready to help out at a moment’s notice. Bai Wuya and Deepflame were moving too fast, and he could only follow behind to the best of his capabilities. However he soon discovered that the situation was already irreversible, and hence he hesitated. If he continued to rush up and help the Deepflame Immortal King, what would happen after Bai Wuya slayed Deepflame? Would he be Bai Wuya’s next target?

Normally, these immortal kings always seemed so high up and invincible. But that was only to the people below them. But during times of true danger, everyone would act cautiously and look out for themselves. After cultivating for so long and achieving their current status, they had everything they wanted - authority, fame, women. How could such characters bear to seek death?

Bai Wuya’s strength soon made the Scarce Moon Immortal King feel fear in his heart. Bai Wuya had dominated Deepflame completely, and Deepflame didn’t even have the capability to flee. Bai Wuya was just too terrifying.

"ARGH!" A scream of misery shook the heavens and earth, resounding loudly throughout the space of this particle world. Even the other immortal kings still in combat felt their hearts tremble when they heard that scream—that sound of agony had come from the Deepflame Immortal King. Observing with their immortal senses, they discovered that the Deepflame Immortal King was bleeding from numerous wounds. The rune bones within his body were thoroughly cracked, and his life was slowly dripping away.

Finally, Bai Wuya descended to stand in front of Deepflame. He blasted out with his palm, smashing into Deepflame’s heart, ripping another scream from the Deepflame Immortal King. His body exploded, and his blood rained down from the sky. His rune bones had shattered into countless pieces as they fell to the ground below. The Deepflame Immortal King tried to send his consciousness into a stream of his immortal sense, yet Bai Wuya enveloped and directly wiped it out. Unless the Deepflame Immortal King had streams of immortal sense existing elsewhere, it would mean his certain death, and he had completely vanished from this world.

Also, even if he had other streams of immortal sense elsewhere, they would eventually dissipate upon activation.

In the particle world, droplets of the Deepflame Immortal King’s blood splashed onto the earth. The people of this particle world felt a terrifying might permeating the region and they couldn’t help but evade the area. The droplets transformed into a blood lake that contained an immense power several times stronger than other so-called geniuses with bloodline abilities. And when the chipped rune bones fell to the ground, the people below instantly went into a frenzy as they fought each other for a piece. Everyone knew that the bones of immortals were treasures that were coveted by all.

Every inch of the Deepflame Immortal King’s body was a supreme treasure to the people from particle worlds.

"He truly killed him." Many immortal kings on the battlefield felt their hearts trembling.

The Deepflame Immortal King, a war general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, had died here today.

The death of an immortal king was considered a normal occurrence, and they wouldn’t be shocked by it. But now, the one who died was the Deepflame Immortal King.

Bai Wuya had brought upon his demise in such a domineering manner. In this place, was there even another immortal king who could stand against Bai Wuya?

A supreme expert would have the ability to control the situation in immortal battles.

Bai Wuya then turned and took a step forward, moving towards the direction of the Scarce Moon Immortal King. At this moment, the eyes of the Scarce Moon Immortal King twitched. Under the stunned gaze of the crowd below, the Scarce Moon Immortal King chose not to do battle, and fled instead.

"BASTARD!" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s expression turned ashen. An immortal king who had made his name countless years ago was actually turning to flee instead of facing Bai Wuya.

However, from the Scarce Moon Immortal King’s perspective, it was a decision borne from common sense. He knew his strength was inferior to Deepflame’s, and Bai Wuya had effortlessly vanquished Deepflame to the point where he lacked the ability to escape.

Bai Wuya chose not to chase after the Scarce Moon Immortal King and instantly joined the other battles instead. Initially, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect had faced a perilous situation, but with the Saberlord of Death’s reinforcements, that pressure had lightened considerably. After all, the Saberlord had come from the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Although he wasn’t as outstanding as Bai Wuya, it was a simple matter for him to fight against ordinary immortal kings. The saber in his hands resembled the saber of a death god, an extremely dangerous weapon to go up against.

But even so, many experts from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect suffered injuries and two immortal kings had already fallen. Qin Wentian and Lin Xian`er felt their hearts trembling as they observed the battle. This immortal carnage was just too fearsome if even immortal kings had succumbed to death.

For example, someone as powerful as the Deepflame Immortal King, who’d served under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, had also died in this battle.

Bai Wuya joined a random battle, and swept out his immortal might out to instantly envelope an immortal king. That immortal king felt a heavy pressure locking onto him as a mystical energy invaded his body.

Bai Wuya transformed into a phantom, moving so fast that several after-images appeared. Soon, another immortal king died, and the scene badly shocked the hearts of the spectators.

The countenance of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor grew uglier and uglier to behold. On the surface, his Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s combat prowess was at an advantage, but in truth, Bai Wuya alone had turned the tide of the war. No one here could win against Bai Wuya.

"Retreat!" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was a man of extreme decisiveness. Once he saw that they had no way to destroy those from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, he instantly gave the command to retreat. All the immortal kings gathered in the air and swiftly soared up into the sky.

Bai Wuya didn’t pursue them. He was alone, and no matter his strength, it would be impossible for him to fight against all of the enemy’s immortal kings.

Very soon, the immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect retreated to a higher vantage point. Their faces were ice-cold as they stared down at those below. After which, they each transformed into beams of light and they shot out towards the horizon. The projection of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor still remained, looking frostily at Bai Wuya.

Bai Wuya alone had turned the tide for this entire battle.

"Eastern Sage, it looks like your preparations are still far from enough." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed mockingly.

"Hmph." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor snorted coldly. He glared at Bai Wuya. "Consider me careless with regards to this battle. Next time, it will definitely be impossible for your Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect to be lucky enough to retreat unscathed."

"Luck?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed coldly. The image of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor gradually grew fainter, before it disappeared completely.

The pressure boring down on everyone in this world had finally dissipated. The immortal war was over, and the people of this particle world could stand up straight and heave a sigh of relief. Everything had ended. They felt as though they’d just escaped from certain calamity. Traces of destruction could be seen everywhere, and many people tried to flee from mortal danger, but to no avail. The aftershocks of an immortal battle could completely eradicate vast amounts of land in a particle world.

Not many immortal kings had died in this battle, but the same could not be said for many of the particle world’s inhabitants.

Luckily, the cruel Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had been driven back. They would forever carve the name of this tyrant in their memories. One day, if they could achieve the same cultivation realm as him, they would definitely take revenge.

Similarly, the people of this world would also remember the name of the white-robed Immortal King, Bai Wuya. Their memory of him would be of a different nature—no one would forget his imposingness and magnificence in that battle.

That battle could be considered a baptism for the people of this world, allowing them to see their own circumstances more clearly, and thus instill in them a stronger thirst for power.

"The Star River Association and the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect joined forces and ambushed us. We shall exterminate every branch of the Star River Association in this particle world before we leave!" the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord commanded coldly. The immortal kings immediately led their forces to various parts of this world and returned after some time had passed. The Star River Association had completely vanished from this particle world.

"Wentian, follow me back to the immortal realms. I think it’s best for you to temporarily withhold contact with this particle world. Regardless of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect or the Star River Association, this particle world is merely like an ant to them. They won’t mind it too much. Their actions today were a result of wanting to target you and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. As long as you sever the connection between you and this particle world, they will gradually overlook this place," stated the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.

"Mhm, alright." Qin Wentian nodded.

"Return." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord gave the command, and everyone retreated. Bai Wuya walked to Qin Wentian’s side, bringing Qin Wentian together with him. At the moment before they departed, Qin Wentian eyes were filled with reluctance as he stared at this world. After which, he turned to look at the starry space with a resolute expression etched on his face.

From now on, he would sever his connection with this place and focus on the immortal realms!
