Were these enemies?

All of the immortals’ expressions changed upon seeing this.

They looked at the oncoming enemies.

These enemies were quite similar to normal humans in terms of outward appearance, but their skin was fairer, and they possessed pairs of snowy-white wings. Furthermore, the auras they exuded were slightly different as well.

“Fellow cultivator, we have no intention to intrude…” As the leader of the group of immortals, He Shen extended a respectful bow and tried to explain the situation in a graceful manner. He clearly didn’t want to cause any conflicts.

However, those peculiar, flying humanoid creatures seemed to view them as sworn enemies.

“Enemy invasion!”

“Enemy invasion!”

“These underhanded humans are trying to launch a sneak attack against us!”

“Kill them all!”

Boom boom boom!

Cannon blasts that were imbued with the power of the heavens fell upon them in a merciless and frenzied barrage.

The Exalted Immortals were stunned by their reaction. They were attacking already? Why did they harbor so much hatred toward them?

Wasn’t this their first meeting?

At this moment, a saber-wielding Exalted Immortal let loose an enraged roar, and he swept his saber through the air. A crimson saber projection parted the heavens and kept all of the oncoming enemy attacks at bay.

“Please wait, this is just a misunderstanding. We just so happened to appear here, and we really weren’t intending on trespassing…” He Shen was still trying to offer a patient explanation.

He believed that as long as effective communication could be facilitated, these strange-looking humans would definitely be able to coexist with them in harmony.

“These accursed humans are a little too powerful for us to handle! Call for the Great Generals’ help!”

“Make it quick! We can’t let these humans get away. We have to kill them all!”

Those winged living beings seemed to have not even heard what He Shen had said. They were intent on killing these newcomers.

Immediately afterward, more fearsome pillars of light crashed down upon He Shen and his group.

“F*ck off!” The saber-wielding Exalted Immortal was enraged by these unreasonable winged humans and rushed toward the Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings with scorching flames erupting from his saber. “Heaven Incinerating Flame Strike!”

Boom!

A scorching saber projection blocked all of the attacks again before continuing onward and incinerating all of the nearby winged living beings to ashes.

“To think that even mere ants dare to provoke me.” The Exalted Immortal harrumphed coldly with a disdainful expression on his face.

He Shen’s brows furrowed slightly. “We clearly speak the same language, and I’ve already provided an explanation, so why are they still so intent on killing us? Also, what’s this Central Heavenly Gate they were talking about?”

“Who cares? Let’s just kill them for provoking us.” The saber-wielding Exalted Immortal laughed heartily with his saber on his shoulder.

His power was only at roughly an average level among the group of Exalted Immortals. Even so, he was still able to eliminate all of these enemies with a single saber strike, thereby indicating that these enemies couldn’t even be considered to be threats.

“Hehe… Exalted Immortal Chi Hu, please restrain yourself. Don’t bully the living beings of this world.” Shi Zhen chuckled.

“I hope there are opponents worthy to fight me in this world,” Wang Chen mused in an indifferent voice.

Right at this moment, a dense group of figures appeared in the distance again.

This time, there were over a hundred thousand of them.

“There are so many this time!” Yang Lingqian was suddenly struck by an ominous feeling.

“Hmph, they’re still trash no matter how many of them there are. I’ll be back before you know it.” A cold smile appeared on Exalted Immortal Chi Hu’s face as he rose into the sky and charged toward the oncoming enemies.

As expected, the hundred thousand peculiar living beings harbored fierce animosity toward him and immediately attacked.

Exalted Immortal Chi Hu let loose a thunderous roar, and crimson flames erupted into the heavens from his saber. He slashed his saber through the air, and a saber projection extended for several dozen kilometers. This was an extremely powerful attack, and it threatened to wipe out all of the enemies before him.

However, a gorgeous woman suddenly emerged from the army of winged living beings. She wore a long, white robe with a cold, haughty expression in her eyes, as if she were a proud holy being. In her fair, slender hand was a thin longsword.

He Shen’s expression changed as soon as he caught sight of this female living being, and he was just about to extend words of caution.

At this moment, the female living being had already unleashed a sword strike, and a silvery-white light erupted forth. This light seemed to be imbued with the vast power of the entire heavens and struck the onlooker with the urge to kneel and concede.

Every single cell within Exalted Immortal Chi Hu’s body trembled as he felt that supreme aura, and his expression changed drastically. “What kind of power is this?!”

Whoosh!

The silvery-white sword projection instantly tore through the surging wave of flames unleashed by Exalted Immortal Chi Hu.

Exalted Immortal Chi Hu was horrified to see this, and he tried to flee, but the sword projection continued onward before eventually slicing Exalted Immortal Chi Hu’s body in half. Blood splattered to the ground from above.

At this moment, all of the immortals looked on with wide eyes.

Exalted Immortal Chi Hu was insta-killed by a single sword strike?!

One had to realize that Exalted Immortal Chi Hu could be considered to be a first-rate powerful being on the Divine Source Continent. However, a being of his caliber wasn’t even able to block a single sword strike from his opponent? Just how powerful was his enemy?

All of the Exalted Immortals who were looking down on the living beings of this world were now thoroughly embarrassed. At the same time, they were struck by a sense of lingering fear, as well as the feeling that they had dodged a bullet. They were extremely thankful that they had not been the ones to attack as they wouldn’t have been able to defend themselves against that attack either.

“Chi Hu!”

One of Chi Hu’s good friends was enraged beyond belief and let loose a wail of grief.

“How dare you kill my brother? I’m going to kill you!” A Return to Void Pinnacle Stage Exalted Immortal rose into the sky.

“Exalted Immortal Ming Yun, let us help you!” Another seven Return to Void Pinnacle Stage Exalted Immortals also rose into the sky.

This female living being was indeed extremely powerful, but they were all Exalted Immortals who had attained the powers of the divine dao, thereby placing them at a higher level than Chi Hu. As such, they were confident that the eight of them would be capable of bringing down that female living being.

The eight immortals all unleashed their powers to attack that female living being.

“With Exalted Immortal Ming Yun and the others on the attack, that woman is dead for sure!”

“We have to avenge Exalted Immortal Chi Hu! We have to show them that the Four Nine Immortal Palace is not a force to be messed with!”

“What Four Nine Immortal Palace? It’s the Immortal King Palace!”

“Ah, yes yes yes…”

All of the Exalted Immortals looked on at the eight Exalted Immortals with proud and expectant expressions.

However, they were soon dumbstruck by what they saw.

That female living being seemed to have been blessed by the heavens, and her power was able to vanquish all spell techniques. She was even capable of slicing through the powers of the divine dao and was able to gain the upper hand even against eight Exalted Immortals. On the contrary, these eight Exalted Immortals were now in extremely dire straits and looked as if they could be defeated at any moment.

“How could this be… How could she be so powerful?”

“Could it be that she’s also at the Immortal King Stage?”

“Let’s go all at once!”

All of the Exalted Immortals were once again shocked by the fearsome power displayed by that female living being. They could only think of one method to prevail and that was to crush her with their numbers.

“You… have what it takes to be considered a worthy adversary,” a sharp and ethereal voice sounded.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling sword projection suddenly appeared. It was like a galaxy of stars falling from the sky before crashing into the female living being’s body.

The female living being had been dominating the eight Exalted Immortals, but her expression suddenly changed drastically as she immediately used her sword as a shield. Even so, she was still blasted flying for over fifty kilometers by the pure sword intent sweeping toward her.

Wang Chen’s plain daoist robe billowed around him as he wielded his bronze immortal sword. He was like a celestial sword that was revealing its might to the world, and vast sword intent emanated from his body, surging through heaven and earth.

All of the Exalted Immortals let loose cries of excitement.

“My God! Immortal Wang Chen has joined the battle!”

“He was able to force that woman back with a single sword strike! She’s as good as dead now!”

“In the face of an Immortal King, all enemies can be easily crushed!” All of the Exalted Immortals’ eyes widened with excitement, and some of the female cultivators were even staring at him with lovestruck eyes, completely unable to look away.

Yang Lingqian heaved a faint sigh. The last person who had been revered to this extent by the female Exalted Immortals was An Lin. However, in a short hundred years, the object of their fixation had already changed.

This was the harsh reality of the world; only powerful beings were respected and revered. This was a notion that was ingrained in the hearts of all Exalted Immortals on the Divine Source Continent, and at this moment, the power displayed by Wang Chen was even more dazzling than that displayed by An Lin in the past.

However, Yang Lingqian was still unable to forget that white-robed figure. She felt like that white-robed immortal was still the dazzling figure in her eyes.

At this moment, Wang Chen was already engaging in battle with the female living being.

His terrifying cultivation base finally allowed him to gain the upper hand over her as the two of them collided in a series of earth-shattering clashes.

“The power this woman is using is imbued with supreme dao intent. She must be one of the most powerful beings in this world.”

“Of course! Her features are so holy and regal; she’s definitely the empress of a certain powerful tribe!”

“Then doesn’t that mean that this is the first clash between the most powerful beings of this world and the Divine Source Continent?”

“Haha, look at how she’s getting dominated! This is going to be a landslide victory in our favor!”

All of the Exalted Immortals looked on intently at the battle with pride in their hearts.

It was also at this moment that dense groups of figures began to appear from all directions.

True horror was approaching…
