The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

In the weak whispers of the Extreme West God, a range of complex emotions was contained.

It seemed she was looking forward to Li Muyang's victory and yet also afraid of it.

Such conflicting turmoil left Li Muyang in silence.

By now, he had no way back.

But he understood the hesitation of the Extreme West God, as well as the choice of the Western Pillar God to sacrifice.

Standing before the high platform, Li Muyang took a deep breath and said, "I shall not disappoint the expectations!"

Having said this, Li Muyang stepped forward, ascending the platform ahead of him.

He held in his hand the Ark Token given to him by the God of Geng Metal in the black robe—an Immortal Talisman possessing special power, acting as a key capable of granting access to a special area within the Ark.

Unexpectedly, this key could even access the most core area of the otherworldly Ark.

Li Muyang, holding the Ark Token, passed directly through the outer wall of the high platform and entered a gloomy underworld.

Here the air was filled with a sinister chill, bitterly cold, with dim lighting throughout.

But it was still discernible that this was a grand and majestic Immortal Palace.

However, since the demise of the Yellow Robed Immortal, no more Immortal Spirit Qi remained, and from the depths of the Immortal Palace where the corpse of the Yellow Robed Immortal lay sleeping, only a cold, sinister death energy spread.

However, having seen such Yin Sha Dead Energy before, Li Muyang was already well accustomed to it.

He ignored the eerie illusion before him and stepped directly toward the Immortal Palace ahead.

Within the empty grand hall of the Immortal Palace, all was dead silent, save for the figure sitting quietly in the midst of the hall, with white hair, dignified appearance, and eyes gently closed.

He looked as though a sage revered by all.

Li Muyang took a deep breath as he looked at the corpse of the Yellow Robed Immortal.

Before he could take any action, the sleeping corpse of the Yellow Robed Immortal within the great hall stood up.

Although its eyes remained closed, a faint wisp of Immortal Spirit Qi began to slowly emanate from the corpse.

"...A guest has come; could it be Wu Ming?"

The Yellow Robed Immortal's corpse still had closed eyes, lips unmoved, yet a voice came from within the body.

"I suppose it must be Wu Ming. In this Ark destined for desolation, only Wu Ming would come here."

"After all, to calmly accept one's own destruction, even gods and immortals find it difficult..."

The sigh of the Yellow Robed Immortal echoed faintly.

Li Muyang understood in his heart; it was not the corpse that was speaking, but a voice left by the Yellow Robed Immortal before his death.

At the moment of relinquishing his Cultivation and Mana to become the Artifact Spirit of the Ark, did the Yellow Robed Immortal foresee that someday Wu Ming would come to destroy his body?

After a brief silence, Li Muyang spoke: "I wish to sever the Artifact Spirit, to halt everything."

He attempted to converse with the lingering will of the Yellow Robed Immortal.

Regrettably, it was not a lingering will that spoke, but merely a message left by the Yellow Robed Immortal.

There was no response to Li Muyang's words; the voice simply continued on its own.

"...Wu Ming, if you have come here, then it means I have failed."

"I was not able to save the tens of millions within the Ark, nor the divine beings of the Extreme West Temple, nor the many Cultivators aboard the Ark."

"And after the wear of countless years, the me that has turned into an Artifact Spirit would have forgotten everything, leaving only instinct and obsession, right?"

"Only thus would you awaken and come to sever me."

"Because by this point, my existence is unnecessary, and the existence of the Ark beyond the world is also unnecessary."

"This Ark, meant to carry the seeds of life to future generations, has now become an ice-cold tomb, has it not?"

"...If so, it is indeed time to erase everything."

"I lacked the power to save this collapsing situation; let me vanish with this Ark."

"Before I became an inanimate body, I had already cast spells upon my physical form."

"All of the cultivation and secret techniques from my life, this body can demonstrate to you."

"Please become familiar with my secret techniques and spells, then go kill the me that has turned into an Artifact Spirit."

As the Yellow Robed Immortal's voice faded, the cold corpse suddenly opened its eyes.

The lifeless, hollow pupils stared at Li Muyang.

The Immortal's corpse raised both hands, forming a hand seal in the void.

In an instant, Li Muyang, who was standing outside the Immortal Palace's grand hall, was torn apart by an invisible force.

In that moment, it felt as if he had fallen into a black hole vortex, with terrifying suction tearing at his body from all directions.

"Damn it!"

Li Muyang instantly entered a frosty divine state, transforming into a 10-foot-tall, blood-red transparent divine figure.

Using all his strength, he struggled desperately to escape forward.

Yet even so, amidst the splattering of blood, a transparent arm was torn from his 10-foot-tall divine figure.

"What an evil secret technique!"

Li Muyang, who was nearly killed in an instant, was somewhat horrified.

He was shocked at the power of the Yellow Robed Immortal's secret technique.

Indeed, as a True Immortal with a renowned reputation, his first move was simply unpredictable and overwhelmingly powerful.

Li Muyang clenched his teeth and rapidly concentrated Divine Power, quickly regenerating the missing arm on his 10-foot-tall divine figure.

He stared fixedly at the corpse of the Immortal within the palace, no longer daring to be careless.

Even though it was just a corpse, the Yellow Robed Immortal's body seemed to be alive, possessing extremely high combat intelligence.

Seeing Li Muyang escape disaster, the Immortal's corpse within the palace once again formed a hand seal.

This time, the void did not exert a massive force to pull on Li Muyang.

However, the air condensed to form a transparent giant beast, roaring as it charged at Li Muyang.

This strike of the Yellow Robed Immortal was comparable to the descent of a true Divine Beast!

Li Muyang attempted to withstand it directly, and the dazzling Barrier-breaking Divine Light formed a curtain of light and surged forward, but it was swallowed in a single gulp by the shadow of that voracious beast.

Immediately after, the giant beast shadow that swallowed the dazzling Divine Light exploded in front of Li Muyang.

Dazzling Divine Light shot towards Li Muyang, and as he was caught off guard, his 20-foot-tall, blood-red divine figure was riddled with fine wounds by the light.

"...So powerful!"

Li Muyang, who was nearly shot into a sieve by his own Barrier-breaking Divine Light, was full of awe.

He recalled the Yellow Robed Immortal's renowned secret technique, the Rebellion Nine Forms, which was said to be performed using grand hand seals.

The power of each hand seal could be likened to the arrival of a Divine Beast.

Previously, he'd only heard Little Wild Grass mention the legend, and unexpectedly, one day he actually had the chance to experience it.

Li Muyang took a deep breath, his expression stern as he looked at the Immortal's remains ahead.

With a mere thought, the long-silent Startling Swan Immortal Sword clangorously unsheathed.

Despite the blessings of the Extreme West God and the God of Geng Metal, he was still no match for this Immortal corpse.

It seems that he had no choice but to use the Immortal Artifact from the Jade Immortal.

A mighty Immortal Sword greatly enhances one's combat strength.

After all, though there are many Ancient True Immortals, not every True Immortal possesses an Immortal Artifact.

Not to mention the Startling Swan Immortal Sword of the Jade Immortal, reputedly a holy object born of heaven and earth, unlike ordinary Immortal Artifacts.

The power of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword far surpasses that of a common Immortal Artifact!
