Chapter 846: Unwilling to Say Goodbye (1/2)

Xia Yu was in the sea of fire.

The fire was the anger of the Nine Regions for having been invaded repeatedly by the Immortal World for tens of thousands of years, for the complete destruction of the Southern Heaven Region, and for being interrupted in its long sleep.

This was the first time that Xia Yu tasted the anger of the world. The flame was much more intense than what he had imagined. The moment he was in the sea of flame, his nearly flawless body began to melt rapidly, and the Immortal spirit that covered his whole body disappeared.

He could not dodge, could not avoid, and could not resist. The Immortal King Xia Yu who crisscrossed thousands of worlds was dying in the sea of fire.

In the sea of fire, Xia Yu heard the cry of hundreds of millions of resentful spirits. They were the souls of those who had died since the arrival of the Immortal World. At this time, they poured out the most vicious curse on Xia Yu in the sea of fire, which corroded his Immortal body.

In the sea of fire, Xia Yu saw the doomsday scene of the collapse of heaven and earth and the destruction of all things. It was the curse cast by the dead souls who died in the Southern Heaven Region when it was destroyed by the Against the World Dragon Pillar. The curse from the land was so powerful that it instantly damaged Xia Yu’s Immortal Mansion, with countless Immortal Mountains and jades disintegrated. The Immortal Mansion in the Immortal Body was where the foundation of the cultivation laid, and the revenge from the Southern Heaven Region almost damaged Xia Yu’s foundation.

In the sea of fire, Xia Yu also saw his old opponents in the previous thousand worlds campaign, including the gods of the Western Continent and the strange-looking creatures from alien worlds. They either spat him or loudly ridiculed his current embarrassing situation. Others simply came to cut his flesh with sharp weapons, bringing him endless pain like the tide of the sea.

This was the heart fire, as well as the heart demon. The appearance of his old enemies meant that the anger of Nine Regions had penetrated into Xia Yu’s primordial spirit and began to work from inside and outside to disintegrate his existence. In such a burning flame, even the Immortal King could not persist for too long.

However, Xia Yu could only bear the weight of destruction silently at this time. After being hit by the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon, his Immortal King’s magical power almost instantly collapsed. At this time, even if he wanted to escape from the sea of fire at all costs, he was powerless.

But things might not have necessarily turned for the better. Xia Yu calmly looked down and, through the sea of fire, his gaze fell on the Spirit Sword Mountain.

There was another person who was struggling to survive.

“Tsk, why is this old bastard not dead yet?”

On the Stellar Peak, Wang Wu, with a sword in one hand, was holding up a milky white dome over her head. On top of the dome, an endless sea of fire poured down like a waterfall, and was intercepted by the Non-Phase Sword Defense halfway. However, the sea of fire was inexhaustible, it constantly impacted and enveloped Wang Wu’s Non-Phase Defense, making it hard for her to hold it.

However, she had no choice but to hold out.

When Wang Lu released the full power attack of the Non-Phase Celestial Canon, he also mixed the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman into it. Then, with the Spirit Sword Mountain as the beacon, it guided the energy beam of the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon in the endless void to return to Nine Regions. As long as the space barrier was cut in the right location and they made sure that the Immortal King was placed in the middle of the straight line between the crack in the barrier and the Spirit Sword Mountain… Then by surprise, even the Immortal King would inevitably fall into the trap.

This was Wang Lu’s plan that he hatched out before he returned to Nine Regions. A considerable part of this plan involved risk-taking. If there was a slight difference, they would lose everything. For example, how to ensure the energy beam from the bombardment would not be lost forever after entering the endless void? How to ensure that Xia Yu would not find out the truth too early and thus be able to avoid the surprise attack? The most important thing was that there was a huge loophole in this three-point plus one-line plan: The power of the energy beam from the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon was endless, so how could they ensure that this power was completely blocked by the Immortal King instead of directly falling right at Spirit Sword Mountain?

In fact, these matters were, of course, not necessarily guaranteed. What Wang Lu could do was to arrange several insurances at each step. As for whether it would work, he had to leave it to fate. After all, if he didn’t take risks, how could he make up for the huge power gap between him and the Immortal King?

Fortunately, the plan finally progressed smoothly to the last step. However, this last step was more difficult than all of the previous steps combined.

The most worrying situation still happened. In these three points one line situation, the Immortal King in the center did not absorb all the power of the energy beam. About thirty percent of the power bypassed the Immortal King and landed directly on the Spirit Sword Mountain.

This Non-Phase Celestial Cannon energy beam came from the endless void and could only maintain its cohesion by the positioning of the Spirit Sword Mountain. However, if the Spirit Sword Mountain was hit head-on, it would disappear in an instant. The energy beam of the Non-Phase Celestial Cannon would also collapse because of the loss of guidance. And Xia Yu, trapped in the sea of fire, would immediately be free.
