Liu Wuxie had been only at the fourth-level Heaven Gaze Realm moments earlier, yet in the span of just two hours, he had already reached the sixth level. Refining two arms alone could never have been enough to achieve that, but he had also obtained many other items.

When Nightmare City advanced into an immortal artifact, it released a surge of energy that fed back into the desolate world. Added to that was the power of an immortal pill, which had allowed him to break through two levels in succession.

As Liu Wuxie's cultivation continued to rise, Gong Gong and the others showed traces of shock in their eyes. They could tell that even ordinary immortals could not rival the aura he was releasing at that moment.

Immortal runes surged through the surrounding space as immortal energy burst outward. Even the nearby quasi-immortals could not withstand the pressure of his aura and began retreating. Meng Cheng and Nalan Qianxun did not even have the qualifications to approach him.

"Why are you all standing here? Stop him at all costs!" Luo Jingshan shouted the moment he realized how dire the situation had become. Even if they had to throw away their lives, they had to kill Liu Wuxie.

The battle instantly intensified as the surrounding space shattered. Countless meteors streaked across the heavens, exploded into dust, and vanished into heaven and earth.

"Stop them!" Dong Wu roared. He knew they had to block Luo Jingshan's group and buy Liu Wuxie enough time to finish his breakthrough.

The Divine Son, Gong Gong, and Yin unleashed their strongest attacks, which merged into a powerful domain that sealed everyone else out.

Over on the Nine Dragon Palace's side, the fighting had also turned fierce. Even without Liu Wuxie, the Nine Dragon Palace and the Profound Azure Gate were sworn enemies.

"Let's help the Heavenly Dragon Sect!" At that critical moment, the Comet Temple finally made its choice.

They knew that Liu Wuxie's breakthrough was only a matter of time. Once he completed it, if he learned that the Comet Temple had refused to help, future cooperation between them would become impossible.

They did not rush toward Liu Wuxie. Instead, they headed straight toward the Heavenly Dragon Sect's and Heavenly Dao Society's group, where experts from the Nalan Clan, the Immortal Slaughter Palace, the Grand Unity Sect, the Abyssal Gate, and the Ghost Sect had swarmed them.

Luo Hai, Zhuge Ming, and the others were resisting with their lives on the line. But the gap in strength between both sides was too great. Faced with the combined forces of five or six sects, the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Heavenly Dao Society could hold out for only about fifteen minutes at most.

The instant the Comet Temple entered the battle, the Divine Sun-Moon Palace, the White Mist Villa, and the other sects also moved. Their quasi-immortals merely sent the experts of the various sects flying, focusing only on restraining them rather than killing them.

After all, none of them wanted to enter into full-scale war with the Grand Unity Sect or the Nalan Clan. Holding them back was enough, and they could leave the killing to Liu Wuxie.

Luo Jingshan and the others launched several charges in succession, but Yin and Gong Gong sent them flying every time.

Though the divine son was not fighting at full strength, his role still could not be ignored, as he easily kept Meng Cheng and Shi Yifan at bay.

In terms of numbers, the coalition led by Luo Jingshan had eight quasi-immortals, while Liu Wuxie's side had only Dong Wu, Gong Gong, Yin, and the Divine Son. Even so, the four showed no sign of losing, and among them, only Dong Wu was slightly weaker.

Gong Gong and the Divine Son had both reached extraordinary heights in combat strength.

Roars kept erupting from Liu Wuxie as the desolate world underwent another transformation, the moment the gate to the sixth-level Heaven Gaze Realm shattered. More than three hundred thousand immortal runes hovered within the desolate world, while Nightmare City also released vast quantities of immortal runes.

Two immortal stones shattered and dissolved into immortal energy, flooding the desolate world. These were immortal stones from the celestial realm, and Liu Wuxie still had a total of eight hundred of them inside his interspatial ring.

"What a terrifying aura! Liu Wuxie is about to complete his breakthrough!"

Those who had already retreated into the distance looked shocked.

"Liu Wuxie is too terrifying. Even a quasi-immortal would've needed at least a year to refine that immortal's arm, but he only used two hours!" Many quasi-immortals watched from afar and chose not to intervene.

"That isn't the most terrifying part. I suspect he might have an immortal artifact in his body," another quasi-immortal said.

Those quasi-immortals had come from the other astral domains. Liu Wuxie's name had already spread across all four astral domains, and everyone had heard of him.

"How is that possible? How could an immortal artifact be so easy to forge?" Many people shook their heads and refused to believe it.

"Don't forget that he just obtained an interspatial ring. What if there was an immortal artifact inside it?" the old man from earlier asked.

The entire crowd fell silent. If that were true, then Liu Wuxie would be practically invincible, and perhaps only an immortal could still kill him.

The desolate world gradually calmed down, and the thunderclouds hovering above Liu Wuxie's head began to disperse. When he opened his eyes, a vast power swept outward, forming into a shockwave that blasted all the battling quasi-immortals away. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"You all deserve to die!" Liu Wuxie said the instant he awoke, his gaze locked onto Luo Jingshan and the other seven. In his eyes, all eight of them already stood condemned to die.

The moment the Divine Son saw that Liu Wuxie had completed his breakthrough, he vanished. He had only intervened because he didn't wish to see him die so humiliatingly at the hands of Luo Jingshan and the others.

However, that did not mean he had become Liu Wuxie's friend. The two of them still stood as fated mortal enemies.

Gong Gong and Yin exchanged a glance, then both stepped back.

"Thank you for protecting me while I made my breakthrough. I'll thank the four of you properly after I kill them," Liu Wuxie said, nodding toward Gong Gong and Yin before casting a tactful glance at the divine son.

No words were necessary between them. Both of them understood perfectly. If the Divine Son had stood in Liu Wuxie's position, he too would have stepped out to help.

"Elder Dong, go help the Heavenly Dragon Sect and leave them to me," Liu Wuxie said, asking Dong Wu to support Zhuge Ming and the others.

Although the Comet Temple had restrained the experts from the Grand Unity Sect and the other forces, they had not attacked with lethal intent.

"Wuxie, are you sure about it?" Dong Wu asked. It was not that he doubted Liu Wuxie's strength, but facing eight quasi-immortals alone seemed impossible for anyone.

"Go on," Liu Wuxie replied. He did not explain and merely waved his hand.

Dong Wu hesitated for only a brief moment before turning and leaving.

Gong Gong, the Divine Son, and the others also withdrew, having already guessed Liu Wuxie's intention. They immediately vacated the battlefield for him without waiting for him to say more.

Luo Jingshan and the other seven quasi-immortals instantly closed in, forming an encirclement around Liu Wuxie. The terrifying aura from all eight surged toward him at once.

Strangely, once their aura entered Liu Wuxie's vicinity, it could not advance any farther.

Liu Wuxie released his domain and summoned the mysterious axe, which descended from the sky, shattering all eight domains into fragments and drawing gasps from everyone watching.

"Liu Wuxie, you will die today," Shi Yifan roared as he charged straight at Liu Wuxie on behalf of the Loulan Race.

Liu Wuxie had destroyed the Loulan Race's interstellar teleportation array and taken their martial souls. They could never reconcile their hatred.

"Since that's the case, let's fight!" Liu Wuxie could not be bothered wasting breath on them.

The Heretic Blade descended from the sky, releasing a terrifying aura. Though it had not yet reached the level of an immortal artifact, it had benefited enormously from the immortal runes and Nightmare City's advancement. It was also further nourished by the laws of the immortal pill.

At that moment, the Heretic Blade stood infinitely close to becoming an immortal artifact. It lacked only a sufficient foundation. If Liu Wuxie continued tempering it with immortal runes, it would advance to an immortal artifact in at most a year.

When the Heretic Blade cleaved down from the sky, it carried no flashy movement, yet it had already locked onto Shi Yifan. No one had expected Liu Wuxie's attack to transcend heavenly dao itself.

The surrounding space began to collapse as a long rift split open before Shi Yifan, leaving Luo Jingshan and the other quasi-immortals horrified.

"Attack together!"

Luo Jingshan knew that none of them could kill Liu Wuxie alone. Only by joining forces would they stand any chance at all.

On the other side of the battlefield, Dong Wu began a massacre the moment he arrived. The Nine Dragon Palace and the other forces hadn't dared to strike lethally, but the Heavenly Dragon Sect had no such concern.

Under the power of a quasi-immortal, elders from the Grand Unity Sect began falling in swarms. The Immortal Slaughter Palace and the Nalan Clan fared no better.

Ji Yuzhen darted frantically through the battlefield, trying to escape. He already knew that no one could stop Liu Wuxie now, so his first instinct was to flee for his life.

But Liu Wuxie had already locked onto him the moment he had appeared. He had determined to kill him at any cost.

After the Heavenly Dao Book completed its deduction, it revealed an inexplicable connection linking Ji Yuzhen and Liu Wuxie. Liu Wuxie knew that if Ji Yuzhen survived today, he would only bring him more trouble in the future.

Shi Yifan's expression changed drastically as he froze in place under Liu Wuxie's aura.

"Elder Luo, save me!" Shi Yifan roared in terror. He couldn't move. All he could do was beg others for help.

"No one can save someone I want to kill," Liu Wuxie declared. He swung the Heretic Blade down from the sky, causing Shi Yifan to explode. His flesh writhed in midair, still refusing to die immediately. But then a black hole appeared and swallowed him, erasing him without a trace.

Even after breaking through two levels in succession, the desolate world remained empty after shrinking thousands of times. Once Liu Wuxie refined Shi Yifan, the Loulan Realm began to expand, and countless laws poured into it.

Luo Jingshan and the others stood helplessly. They could not believe that Liu Wuxie had slain a quasi-immortal with a single move. After all, when he had killed Chu Zhongtian, he had expended tremendous effort.

"Your turn next!" After killing Shi Yifan, Liu Wuxie did not pause. His gaze shifted directly toward Luo Jingshan.

The mysterious axe stood proudly in the sky, locking onto everyone present. The power of Liu Wuxie's domain continued spreading, imprisoning the remaining seven. Every last one of them had to die today.

"Everyone, stop holding back and attack together!" Meng Cheng shouted.

Their goal had always been the same, and they knew that only by working together could they stand any chance. Killing Liu Wuxie was no longer realistic. The real question now was whether they could escape alive.

The seven of them nodded, each wearing a grave expression. A battle between quasi-immortals shook heaven and earth itself. If they had been fighting on another planet, that entire world would have been destroyed by now.

"Come at me together!" Liu Wuxie said. He couldn't be bothered with killing them one by one, so he directly called for all seven to attack him at once.

The cultivators watching from afar felt their blood boil. How many years had it been since anyone had witnessed a battle between quasi-immortals? For cultivators born within the last tens of thousands of years, even seeing a quasi-immortal was already rare.

But today, they had not only seen so many quasi-immortals in battle, but they had also witnessed them fighting to the death.
