Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 572: Chapter 562: The Clan Annihilation Battle, The Mysterious Beast’s Horn Shows Its Might

His worries were quickly confirmed as a brawny man with a full beard grew closer and closer to Xu Weng.

The man’s power seemed extremely terrifying.

Upon spotting Xu Weng ahead, he didn’t say a word, just reached out and sent a long-range palm strike hurtling toward him.

Whoosh!

Fierce flames attacked Xu Weng with the wind of the palm.

At this critical moment between life and death, a purple light shot out from Xu Weng, firmly blocking this strike. Xu Weng let out a heart-wrenchingly loud roar, but his voice could not carry through.

It seemed that no sound made on the Hundred Refinement Bridge could escape its confines.

Xu Weng also seemed to realize that a great calamity was upon him. In response, he suddenly activated a talisman and swallowed an elixir, causing his whole face to turn red, and even blood to seep from his skin.

His speed also increased abruptly.

He charged toward Qin Niu as if the challenges of the Hundred Refinement Bridge had no effect on him.

Seeing Xu Weng escaping, the bearded brawny man looked forward, his gaze moving past Xu Weng to settle on Qin Niu. Just that single glance filled Qin Niu with a soul-shaking terror.

This man was definitely a super-powerful being.

His cultivation was probably not weaker than that of the Great Immortal Envoy surnamed Yao.

“Run!”

Without a second’s hesitation, Qin Niu turned and leaped into the Five-Colored Immortal Gate.

After a dizzying whirl, he found himself in front of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.

This place was peaceful with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the scenery was idyllic, rather like a slice of paradise.

There sat the Great Immortal Envoy surnamed Yao, cross-legged on a stone.

Seeing Qin Niu burst out of the Immortal Gate, he opened his eyes and looked over, nodding slightly.

“Good! My Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect has gained another official disciple!”

After speaking, a red-dressed fairy beckoned to Qin Niu.

“Congratulations, little junior brother, please come here to register and complete the entrance procedures. Once all the recorded disciples have broken through, the higher-ups of the sect will hold an initiation ceremony for you.”

Qin Niu, however, paid little attention to those matters and turned to the Great Immortal Envoy surnamed Yao, bowing deeply.

“Great Immortal Envoy, I have a matter of utmost urgency to report to you.”

“Speak!”

The Great Immortal Envoy’s face remained calm, his tone indifferent.

“When I was crossing the Hundred Refinement Bridge, I saw that Chi Jinglei from Fire Cloud Tunnel had set up a one-way teleportation array, continuously transporting strong practitioners from Fire Cloud Tunnel. I was just lucky enough to escape quickly, otherwise, that bearded brawny man would have likely killed me with a single palm strike.”

Qin Niu was very aware that he might have unfortunately been entangled in the legendary battle for the destruction of a sect.

Fire Cloud Tunnel was likely taking advantage of the Hundred-Tempering Child’s life-and-death trial to launch an attack at this time, sending all of its strongest practitioners to attack the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect. If successful, Fire Cloud Tunnel would certainly take their place.

All along the way, Qin Niu had been wondering why, after Chi Jinglei reached the peak of the Great Snow Mountain, he suddenly attacked everyone.

He later dispatched Fire Carapace Insects to kill both himself and Xu Weng.

The aim was to prevent anyone from crossing the Hundred Refinement Bridge and reporting his summoning of the Fire Cloud Tunnel’s strong practitioners to the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.

“Hmm?”

The Great Immortal Envoy surnamed Yao’s expression changed slightly, and his gaze became terrifyingly intense.

In that moment of pressure, Qin Niu felt exceedingly afraid.

Although he now possessed the cultivation of an Immortal Master, he had absolutely no power to resist in the presence of such a powerful being.

“Is Fire Cloud Tunnel planning a rebellion?”

The Great Immortal Envoy leaped to his feet and was about to go to the Five-Colored Immortal Gate to investigate when another figure tumbled out.

Xu Weng’s face was covered in blood, his body seriously injured, showing signs of terrible fire poison around him. His back had caved in from a strike of the bearded brawny man.

“Fire Cloud Tunnel is attacking!”

After saying those words, Xu Weng spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

“Xu Weng! How are you?”

Having formed some bonds with Xu Weng, Qin Niu immediately went over to help him up.

The Great Immortal Envoy, however, did not concern himself with Xu Weng’s welfare at all.

To him, perhaps, a new disciple who had just passed the assessment didn’t matter much.

“Ruo Yu, go immediately to report to the two Immortal Monarchs and ring the warning bell!”

After giving orders to the red-dressed fairy, the Great Immortal Envoy took one step and appeared at the exit of the Immortal Gate, then stretched out his hand to cast a spell, trying to close the Immortal Gate.

But a bearded brawny man flew out of the Immortal Gate, sending out a palm strike toward the Great Immortal Envoy.

“Is Fire Cloud Tunnel really so bold as to rebel? Consider your actions carefully.”

The Great Immortal Envoy coldly raised his hand to meet the attack.

Their clashing palm forces generated a terrifying energy that swept all around; Qin Niu quickly backed away, supporting Xu Weng.

The bearded brawny man was far too strong.

Facing the Great Immortal Envoy surnamed Yao in hand-to-hand combat, he even seemed to have the upper hand.

“The Great Master of the Tunnel has decreed, succeed or become benevolent! The wheel of fortune turns, it is time for Fire Cloud Tunnel to take charge of the Immortal Sect, and bring blessings to all beings!”

The bearded brawny man replied with thundering conviction.

Following in the wake of the bearded brawny man, several more powerful practitioners from Fire Cloud Tunnel emerged, each with an imposing aura.

“Ayo…”

A scream came from the red-dressed fairy, followed by her crashing to the ground, blood spilling from her mouth, her fairy gown disheveled.

Normally, those who have cultivated to the Immortal Envoy Realm pay great attention to their appearance.

Now she had been struck down with a single blow and was severely injured, her gown lifted revealing her fair abdomen and waist, her hair in disarray, losing the dignity befitting an immortal. It was clear that her injuries were of grave nature.

“Huo Mei, you have been in my Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect for many years, received the sect’s graces, and now you dare to collude with outsiders to plot a rebellion…” The Great Immortal Envoy surnamed Yao, seeing the fiery-red dressed woman stepping on air, easily injuring the red-dressed fairy and causing his face to darken.
