Chapter 565 - 402: There is a God Here_2
However, this Immortal Artifact from the Xuanxian Continent, the Eight-Angled Immortal Gold Tower, seemed to have been completely immobilized, unable to move in the slightest, and its radiance was growing increasingly dim.
It seemed as though the energy and essence within it were being plundered by this world.
"Who is the mighty expert behind this?" At that moment, from within the Eight-Angled Immortal Gold Tower, a hazy figure suddenly leapt out, questioning in a mixture of anger and fear. This figure was a long-bearded elder who appeared to be significantly aged, but it was not his physical form. Instead, it was a manifestation of Primordial Spirit Power entrusted within the Immortal Artifact, utilized for controlling it and launching a cross-world assault.
This was Elder Zi Huo of the Purple Cloud Sect from the Xuanxian Continent, a figure of extraordinary strength. Having surpassed Heavenly Tribulation, he stood a chance of achieving true Immortality within his lifetime.
Yet, his voice echoed through this crimson world, receiving no reply—only a gaze that surveyed all beings with cold indifference and chilling detachment.
Immediately, Elder Zi Huo’s senses were stirred. He turned his gaze toward the fractured sky.
He saw a vague silhouette, hovering somewhere between reality and illusion, its features impossible to discern. However, what was certain was that this being bore a vertical eye upon his forehead, emanating divine might akin to hellish judgment, resembling both god and demon. Though motionless, it was clear that were they to act, even the Eight-Angled Immortal Gold Tower—the artifact that had crossed worlds to kill—would be nothing in their grasp.
The overwhelming strength of this opponent was undeniable.
"I am an elder of the Purple Cloud Sect from the Xuanxian Continent. A cross-world conflict over a single matter is unwise. I am willing to depart from this place and release the person I captured earlier. I offer an apology to the esteemed expert. I kindly request that you grant me this chance." Elder Zi Huo, swift in thought, abandoned the notion of fighting to the death and immediately conceded.
After all, Chang Feng was already dead. To provoke such a formidable enemy further, resulting in the loss of the Immortal Artifact, would be a crime of monumental proportions.
Moreover, the opponent’s strength was unfathomable; he dared not act recklessly.
