Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 202: Battle Between Two Stars!



Chapter 202: Battle Between Two Stars!

Before the gathered crowd, the Divine Dawn Empress declared, "Yun Xiao has acted recklessly, killing guests of our Immortal Empire without cause. Even if he has made contributions to the world, he cannot escape his crimes. Therefore, I have decided to strip him of his powers, confine him to the deep palace, and personally oversee his punishment. He shall not see another soul for the rest of his life!"

"Then deal with him now!" the Gu Emperor demanded, wanting to see Yun Xiao's powers stripped away with his own eyes. Once he's powerless, he's no threat! As for revenge, the Demon Continent could handle that themselves.

Yun Xiao's previous killing of Kong Ming was in the heat of battle, leaving the Demon Continent with no ground to complain. But this time, they finally had the upper hand!

"Gu Emperor, the War of Immortals battlefield has opened, and it will close only when the time is right! I will strip him of his powers then," the Divine Dawn Empress said.

Even the patient Gu Emperor was struggling to hold his anger upon hearing this. Furious as he was, he still had to wait an hour to execute Yun Xiao? How was he supposed to endure this hour? Watching Yun Xiao kick around inside like a dog?

BOOM! The Eclipse Demon Emperor tried one last time to break open the battlefield's formation but failed!

Inside the formation, Yun Xiao, holding a dog's head in his hand, ignored the Divine Dawn Empress' draining judgment. He scoffed at the Eclipse Demon Emperor, taunting, "What's the matter, Eclipse Demon Emperor? Did you skip your meal? With such feeble strength, you can't even tickle this formation!"

Everyone present buzzed in their minds upon hearing this.

The Divine Dawn Empress had abandoned him, yet he dared to mock the Demon Emperor? And the worst part was, he was holding someone's head!

The Eclipse Demon Emperor had never been so insulted in his life. If it had been an equal adversary, it wouldn't have been so infuriating. But this boy was someone he could crush with a single claw!

BOOM! The entire battlefield was engulfed in black smoke. With explosive sounds reverberating, the formation stood firm while the surrounding land and buildings were obliterated!

The spectating humans and demons had no choice but to retreat further back. The entire battlefield was shrouded in thick smoke, and ferocious beasts roared to the heavens.

"Ha ha ha..." Yun Xiao's cold laughter rang piercingly amidst the demonic shrieks. Alone in the formation, he faced the black heavenly hound. "An hour, you say? Then enjoy the show!"

WHOOSH! He pulled the rest of the dog corpse out from his Pouch of Holding. Hearing how important the Eclipse's sister was, he had personally gone corpse-picking. He tossed the dog corpse onto the ground and began setting up his tools—a stove, ginger, scallions, garlic—all neatly arranged.

The sight left both humans and demons dumbfounded. What on earth was he planning?

The young man in white rolled up his sleeves and smiled slightly. "An hour is just enough time to stew a pot of fragrant dog meat!"

He glanced at the Eclipse Demon Emperor and continued cheerfully, "It seems you're in a hurry, so you can wait at the door. I'll let you have the first taste. But I have a question. Do dogs eat dog bones?"

This question exploded like a bomb!

BOOM! Millions of demons had their minds blown, smoke practically billowing from their nostrils!

The Eclipse Demon Emperor fell silent, his dense fog and shadows completely enveloping the formation of the first battlefield. He said no more, focusing on one thing only—breaking the formation to exact revenge.

"Yun Xiao, hold your tongue! Do not insult the esteemed guests of the Heavenly Realm!" the Divine Dawn Empress commanded authoritatively, redirecting all the demonic fury towards Yun Xiao.

"You be quiet!" Yun Xiao glared at her. "You talk of serving the nation and the people, yet you call these beasts honored guests? Have you forgotten the hatred of a million souls from the Divine Continent's Martial Realm?"

"What?" The crowd was even more baffled. Was he really talking back to the Empress?

BUZZ! Just then, a silver figure suddenly burst into the first battlefield!

"Who is that?" Both humans and demons strained their eyes to see.

"Moon Fairy?" That silver figure had already transformed into a three-tailed fox demon!

It dawned on everyone that since Midnight was not yet upon them, and considering the rules of the War of Immortals, those who were qualified for the grand melee still had a chance to enter. Although both sides had declared their withdrawal from the battle, the Divine Dawn Empress hadn't removed their names from the list.

The Eclipse Demon Emperor couldn't force his way in with brute force, but Moon Fairy managed to slip through! This showcased the fairness, authority, and accuracy of the battlefield's formation, living up to its renowned reputation.

BOOM! After barging in, the three-tailed fox demon's eyes were blood-red, radiating murderous intent!

Yun Xiao was in the midst of cooking when suddenly, a beastly shadow crashed towards him!

BOOM! It was like being struck by a mountain. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew back three hundred feet, crashing into the inner wall of the first battlefield, dazed and confused.

"Who's there?" Yun Xiao extended his hand, summoning a Water Mist Shield to block the raging three-tailed fox demon.

BANG1 The fox demon transformed back into a silver-haired person, cradling the headless dog corpse. He knelt on the ground, tears streaming down like rain...

"AHHH! MY LOVE…!" His demonic beauty and heart-wrenching sobs pulled at the heartstrings of the onlookers.

A tragic love story between a fox and a hound seemed to unfold right before their eyes!

"So it's you, my defeated foe?" Yun Xiao said with a faint smile. "Why the tears? A fox longing for a dog, really?"

BOOM! Moon Fairy put down the dog corpse, and dozens of Desolate Essence flames swirled around him. This display of power was nearing that of the 108 Demon Saints. His blood-red eyes and overwhelming killing intent stirred the blood of the demons watching!

"Moon Fairy is so strong!"

"Quick, kill Yun Xiao!"

BOOM BOOM BOOM! As Moon Fairy dashed forward, transforming back into the three-tailed fox demon, he spat out colorful flames, instantly quenching Yun Xiao's five-layer Water Mist Shield. His formidable physique once again broke through to confront Yun Xiao face to face!

KLANG Sword and claw collided, sparking thousands of fiery stars.

HUM! Moon Fairy unleashed a hypnotic fox spell, and a burst of white mist suddenly engulfed Yun Xiao! Then, with a fierce flick of his tail, the fox's tail lashed onto Yun Xiao's magic shield!

With a loud explosion, Yun Xiao was sent flying again, crashing to the ground and rolling dozens of times. Not only was he covered in dust and grime, but the fox tail had also left bloody streaks across his body. He was not just in a sorry state but also seriously wounded.

Yun Xiao got up, furious and humiliated. "You want a tragic love story, huh? I'll give you one! You think a mere beast like you can vie for the title of humanity's top Immortal against me?"

In their last encounter, Yun Xiao had brutally beaten Moon Fairy. This time, with more spectators, Moon Fairy was the one dominating! Seeing this, the frustrated demons finally found a release for their pent-up emotions, pounding their chests and roaring with excitement.

"Yun Xiao is indeed strong, but Moon Fairy is stronger!"

"What a pretense! I thought he had Divine Dawn's abilities. Is this all he's got?"

"Such audacity! With just a bluff, he scared thousands of our Demon Continent's talents from entering?"

They had been suspicious at first, but when Moon Fairy exposed and broke through Yun Xiao's facade, seeing the pot of stewed dog meat, their fury surged anew.

"This kid's bluff is exposed, and they still dare not enter the battlefield?"

"Go help Moon Fairy, tear him apart!"

Now, with Yun Xiao and Moon Fairy locked in a fierce battle, the demons were uncertain if Moon Fairy could secure a final victory.

"Get in there! Midnight is almost upon us! Enter now, and you can become humanity's top Immortal and Divine Dawn's husband!"

Excited and furious roars from the demons shook the Ascension Gate.

"Seize the moment!" All demons turned their gaze toward the gate.

BOOM! In a fit of rage, Angry Cauldron stepped forward and leaped into the Heavenly Gateway.

"Stop!" the Gu Emperor's eyes twitched.

"To hell with stopping! If I die, so be it! I'm no coward!" Angry Cauldron bellowed, charging into the first battlefield. He had reached his breaking point! The opponent's bluff was exposed, and yet, the restraint persisted? Daring to defy Gu Emperor himself was a clear sign that his limits had been repeatedly crossed!

Madness ensued!

BOOM! Starting with Angry Cauldron, the situation, once under the control of the Gu Emperor, spiraled wildly out of hand!

"Gu Emperor, if thousands of us can't beat one, then we deserve to die!" the paper doll woman declared solemnly before charging into the battlefield.

The White Bone Spirit, Xue Qi, and all the other Demon Princes and Princesses joined the fray!

"Father, I'm going too," the seventh princess of the Violet Sky Immortal Empire announced, following the Demon Continent's talents as she leaped into the battle.

BOOM BOOM BOOM! Thousands of participants, still holding War of Immortal jade tokens, driven by rage and racing against time, swarmed into the battlefield! There was no more holding back!

At this point, not even the Gu Emperor could restrain these rampaging forces! Even if they couldn't get close to Yun Xiao, just being there to witness the chaos was a thrill in itself!

On the human side, due to the sudden turn of events and without orders from the Divine Dawn Empress, many talents with War of Immortals jade tokens missed their chance to join the battle!

Time was of the essence!

At least two thousand demon geniuses charged in!

BOOM! As midnight arrived, the battlefield was sealed shut!

A one-hour time limit! It was like a Gu breeding ground! Who would emerge as the Gu King? Many demons were left outside, faces filled with regret.

Inside the battlefield, Yun Xiao stood up, covered in dust and grime, to face two thousand red-eyed talents from the Demon Continent. They sneered at Yun Xiao menacingly.

Even if Yun Xiao was a fierce tiger, what fear did they have as two thousand hungry wolves? They were the future of the Demon Continent! Every direct lineage and bloodline of the demon races was represented here!

Moon Fairy landed before the two thousand talents, standing tall like a leader.

"Hehehehe..." The two thousand Demon Continent geniuses looked at the dog corpse lying between them, their laughter growing more sinister by the second.

One against two thousand? This scene sent a shiver down the spines of countless humans, stirring deep concerns in their hearts.

"Did we overdo it...?" People's hearts raced with anxiety for Yun Xiao.

"As midnight arrives, the grand melee begins!" In this suffocating moment, the Divine Dawn Empress' cold voice echoed across the battlefield. As her words fell, a black light curtain suddenly enveloped the first battlefield.

All anyone could see was a dark sphere! Inside, Yun Xiao and the two thousand demons were completely obscured, even their sounds muffled.

"Divine Dawn?" the Gu Emperor looked at her coldly.

The Divine Dawn Empress, taken aback, explained, "An hour ago, I declared this grand melee as a Black Box Battle didn't you know?"

A Black Box Battle meant confining everyone in a space invisible from the outside, waiting for the time to end before opening it again. Like unveiling a mystery box! All for that moment of surprise!

With the Black Box Battle initiated, even the Ascension Gate was temporarily closed.

"A Black Box Battle?" the Gu Emperor remembered the announcement. But he had declared withdrawal from the battle, so he hadn't paid much attention.

Now, looking at Divine Dawn Empress and thinking back to everything that had transpired in the last hour, he stared at the dark, silent battlefield, sinking into deep worry. He had already guessed that the Divine Dawn Empress was Chen Xi! What else couldn't he predict...?
