Aspiring to the Immortal Path-Chapter 869: Immortal Tomb

108 divine treasures rose from the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace, radiating divine light.

This new treasure formation had only one hundredth as many treasures as the Treasure Cosmos Formation, but it was at least ten times more powerful.

Unlike before, these divine treasures could now use their true power, and they were further empowered by the formation. Although various limitations prevented Tang Jie from completely realizing the power of the Jewel Palace's Dao formation, only realizing a part of it was enough.

The 108 divine treasures lit up in unison.

The treasures danced and gleamed in the light. There was a fiery red sword firing off searing sun beams: the Primal Yang Needle. And here were two hoops of gold and silver, rapidly spinning in the air and seeming to make the world turn around them: the Sun Moon Rings. And there was a golden brush that seemed to write the laws of the world: the Spring Autumn Brush. There was also a sword that summoned tens of thousands of ethereal swords, creating an endless river of sword energy: the Myriad Immortals Sword. Here was a tree of jewels, its branches seemingly swaying among the stars and its fragrance washing over the world: the Ink Fragrance Tree. There was also a giant golden stamp that suppressed the world, a jade toad that swallowed wind and spat out fog, a glass pearl that radiated star light, phoenixes dancing, and dragons roaring.

All of these treasures created their various phenomena, each one its unique existence with its immense power that would make others fight over it. Now, they were all joined together, and if an Immortal had been controlling them, they could have unleashed an even greater power.

Their powers merged together into a sacred river of energy that surged toward the Flame Celestial Sovereign.

The Flame Celestial Sovereign found that he couldn't resist this enormous pressure.

Unwilling to take on this attack directly, he hastily retreated.

This was the first time Tang Jie had pushed the Flame Celestial Sovereign back.

After all, it was 108 divine treasures. When they could use their true power, even an Immortal could only run.

This was a victory of quantity over quality, the lower level overcoming the higher level through numbers, just like how the Jewel Immortal Sovereign had shattered the Infinite Palace all those years ago.

The band of divine energy swept through the land, wreaking havoc on the landscape and chasing the Flame Celestial Sovereign like he was a stray dog.

Tang Jie grasped the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace and moved it around to keep the beam trained on his foe, ensuring that the Flame Celestial Sovereign couldn't stop and catch his breath. As he inwardly raged, he moved just a little too slowly, and the divine ray ended up touching him and melting away one of his arms.

Although he regrew the arm in a second, the pain, fear, and loss of Immortal energy were difficult for the Flame Celestial Sovereign to bear.

He angrily growled, "Tang Jie, you brat, be proud! You've forced me to use this!"

He took out a flat-topped crown.

This was a gilded crown with twenty-four tassels, twelve each hanging from the back and front, all made from thirty-six kinds of Immortal silk. Each tassel was also strung through twelve pieces of colored jade, in the sequence of red, white, blue, yellow, and black. The red consisted of Everfrost Red Jade, the white was Flawless Mutton Fat Jade, the blue was Clear Sky Jade, the yellow was Boundless Southern Qiang Jade, and the black was Great Dao Inksnow Jade. Each of these had wondrous uses, and they pulsed with a divine power that shook Tang Jie's mind.

The Flame Celestial Sovereign put on the flat-topped crown, upon which a five-colored light engulfed him.

As the divine ray from the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace fell upon him, the Flame Celestial Sovereign didn't try to run. That seemingly unstoppable divine ray finally met its match, unable to break through that five-colored light. Mystical runes began to light up on the crown, and some of the divine light began to be reflected back to Tang Jie, causing him to hastily dodge.

"A Dao armament!" Tang Jie shouted.

This crown was clearly a Dao armament, one which specialized in defense and counterattacking.

Tang Jie remembered something. When the Flame Celestial Sovereign had been searching for the Treasure Paradise, after he finally found it, he only found four of its original five Dao armaments. The Qian Kun Bag, Divine Genesis, and the Yin Yang Division Sword had all merged with the Treasure Paradise, so the Flame Celestial Sovereign took the last one.

That was probably this crown.

To be honest, the Flame Celestial Sovereign wasn't a good fit for a defensive Dao armament like this, but Dao armaments were too hard to find to be picky about them. After several thousand years of searching, the Flame Celestial Sovereign had finally obtained one, and he treasured it dearly, being very reluctant to use it. After all, there were many Immortals stronger than he was, and if some True Immortal or Gold Immortal took a liking to it and took it, he would be helpless to stop it.

But he hadn't expected that a puny Tang Jie would force him to use his Dao armament, which left him particularly angry.

Glaring at Tang Jie, the Flame Celestial Sovereign snarled, "Brat, let's see what else you have! Go!"

A beam of fire shot toward Tang Jie.

Tang Jie could see that this was none other than the Deicide Flame!

During that chase in the Celestial Flame Pagoda, while the Flame Celestial Sovereign had failed to kill Tang Jie, he had seized half of the Deicide Flame. Now, in the hand of the Flame Celestial Sovereign, the Deicide Flame was about the size of a pill, twinkling like an ember, a flickering candle flame. But Tang Jie knew that this small flame was extremely lethal, and considering that the Flame Celestial Sovereign had entered the Dao of Fire, granting him a tyrannical Origin Flame, the two made for a terrifying combination.

As the Deicide Flame approached, Tang Jie immediately slapped the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace, sending a divine ray of light at the Deicide Flame to stop it from approaching.

At the same time, Tang Jie rapidly retreated, at the same time shouting, "Hurry and come out!"

Tutu flew out of the Mountain River State Diagram.

It seemed that Xu Miaoran's emergency treatment had succeeded in bringing him back up to full health. But he was still as much of a coward as ever and knew that a fierce battle was taking place, so he continued to play dead. Alas, Xu Miaoran and Yiyi wouldn't let him keep up the act and had already notified Tang Jie.

Now that Tang Jie was done fighting the Flame Celestial Sovereign, it was time for this rabbit to get back to work.

Tutu tumbled through the air as he grew into a giant rabbit and began to fly.

Tang Jie jumped onto his back, and the rabbit set off.

While the Deicide Flame was strong, it wasn't fast, not even considering that the divine ray was holding it back. Thus, Tang Jie managed to get farther and farther away from it.

The Flame Celestial Sovereign was furious but helpless. He could only put away the Deicide Flame and transform into a streak of flame, resuming the chase.

While chasing, the Flame Celestial Sovereign inwardly cursed.

His flat-topped crown was incredible when it came to defense, able to block all kinds of spell arts and even bounce them back. Its Dao was that of Interchange, under Yin Yang, the shield to the Yin Yang Division Sword's spear. The two had been born for each other.

But it was extremely lacking in offensive attributes. It was fine for use against powerful foes, but it wasn't very useful against slippery rascals like Tang Jie. If he had had some more offensive Dao armament, then a single strike would most likely have killed Tang Jie, regardless of how tough his body was. The uselessness of his crown now that Tang Jie had run off left him with a suffocating feeling.

Still, he had to give chase. The Flame Celestial Sovereign loathed Tang Jie and would never let him go, and they began to reenact their battle from before.

But they each had new tools, the Flame Celestial Sovereign with his crown and Tang Jie with the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace—powerful defense versus powerful offense. While the attack couldn't penetrate the Flame Celestial Sovereign's defense, it could keep Tang Jie safe.

Dazzling explosions of light filled the air, thunder rumbled, the clouds churned, and winds howled as the two clashed.

This went on for an entire day.

This world beneath the Court of Myriad Domains was rather large, large enough that even an Immortal could fly around for an entire day without reaching its end.

During this day, Tang Jie used everything he had: the Infinite Palace, Law Speaking, Split-Second Youth, the Combat Emperor Catalog! When facing an existence of the Flame Celestial Sovereign's level, he had to use all that he could.

He didn't use the Ten Extinctions Blade or Skyrend Swordfall—not because he was saving them as trump cards, but because attacking was useless. Rather than wasting Dao power on them, it was better to focus his energy on recovery.

The only things he actually kept hidden were the Sovereign Blade and one other item.

Those were Tang Jie's last hopes, and he wouldn't use them until the very last moment.

At the same time, Yun Tianlan, Huang Wuji, the Heaven's Equal Sect, the Stellar Net Gate, and that demon were also arriving at this underground world. As they walked through this world, they marveled at its immensity and began to search for its secrets. On the other hand, Yun Tianlan was doing his best to go after Tang Jie and save him, but Tang Jie and the Flame Celestial Sovereign had flown too far, and he needed to constantly lock onto Tang Jie's location, which also affected his speed. Thus, while he was a True Immortal, he was still too far to help.

Tang Jie knew that it would be extremely hard for Yun Tianlan to save him, so he could only keep flying. After flying for quite a while, he suddenly spotted a massive mound in the distance.

Tang Jie initially took it for a mountain, but when he got closer, he saw that it was actually a tomb.

This towering tomb was made entirely from jade and thickly covered in formation lines. In front of it stood a giant tombstone.

Giant words had been written on the stone, exuding an endless majesty:

"Here Lies the Chaos Immortal Sovereign, the Master of Karma and Spacetime, the Virtuous and Sagely Lord of All Realms and Immortals, Immortal Emperor Yu Cheng!"

The tomb of Immortal Emperor Yu Cheng!

These words dumbfounded Tang Jie.
