Chapter 319: Battle Against a Celestial Supreme
"Ancestor, save me!" As Purple Cloud True Lord's cry for help echoed, a powerful voice from the distant void, imbued with a divine presence, descended from the sky.
"Spare him!" As this grand voice reverberated through the heavens and earth, a formidable force penetrated from beyond the void, aiming to intercept the energy targeting Purple Cloud True Lord and save him.
"A Celestial Supreme is arriving!" The experts on Tianluo Continent were all shocked upon hearing this voice.
"It's the Celestial Supreme of the superpower Purple Qi Spirit Cave, known as Purple Qi Immortal!" The leaders of the other two hegemonic forces in the northern region recognized the identity of this Celestial Supreme and exchanged knowing glances.
"Purple Qi Immortal is intervening. It seems Purple Cloud True Lord encountered a crisis. He probably tried to subjugate some faction called Xiao Alliance, but it appears the leader of Xiao Alliance has powerful backing!"
"Judging from Purple Qi Immortal's tone, the one who acted is likely also a Celestial Supreme. Purple Cloud truly kicked the hornet's nest this time." The two leaders communicated telepathically.
They had been rivals with Purple Cloud Sect for a long time, so they were pleased to see the other faction in trouble. This situation was akin to the saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Despite Purple Qi Immortal's plea, Xiao Tian paid no heed. Instead, he increased his speed, piercing Purple Cloud True Lord's forehead and eradicating his life force and soul. A Celestial Supreme might be difficult to kill, but anyone below that level, even those who had touched the Celestial Supreme threshold, could be easily eliminated.
"Thud!" Purple Cloud True Lord's eyes widened in disbelief. He never imagined that even after Purple Qi Immortal's arrival, Xiao Tian would dare to kill him.
At that moment, a beam of light descended from the void, transforming into a majestic figure in the sky, whose presence caused the heavens and earth to tremble. This was Purple Qi Immortal. However, his face was grim, as his command to spare Purple Cloud True Lord was ignored, causing him great humiliation.
Purple Qi Immortal's deep eyes, filled with the movement of sun, moon, and stars, swept over Xiao Tian, causing the very void to shudder. His face darkened upon realizing that Xiao Tian was an unfamiliar Celestial Supreme, leading him to feel somewhat relieved. Celestial Supremes were extremely rare, and they all knew each other from various grand gatherings held by top superpowers.
"Who are you to dare command me?" Xiao Tian, standing in mid-air, showed no regard for Purple Qi Immortal.
"Audacious!" Purple Qi Immortal's eyes turned cold. Since his ascension to Celestial Supreme, no one had ever disrespected him like this. He was furious.
"Boom!" Billions of rays of light exploded from Purple Qi Immortal, and the space behind him filled with boundless purple qi, stretching for miles. Under this terrifying pressure, the ground split open, creating massive chasms.
If not for Xiao Tian shielding against this pressure, countless lives in Da Luo Tian would have been lost. "A mere low-grade Celestial Supreme dares to act wild in my Xiao Alliance?" Xiao Tian stepped forward, releasing an inferno that blazed brightly, resembling a second sun in the sky. Under this intense heat, the surrounding temperature soared, and even the purple qi in the atmosphere began to evaporate rapidly.
"Two Celestial Supremes!"
"A battle between Celestial Supremes is about to erupt!"
"Is another superpower meddling in the struggle for Tianluo Continent's dominance?" The powerful beings across Tianluo Continent were shocked by the immense pressure. Even the Celestial Supremes from the other hegemonic forces in the five regions of Tianluo Continent turned their attention towards the brewing battle.
"What terrifying firepower!" Purple Qi Immortal's eyes flickered. "Boy, you've only recently ascended to Celestial Supreme. Today, I'll show you the power of an experienced Celestial Supreme."
He sensed the presence of more than ten gazes from the outer void—all belonging to various Celestial Supremes. With so many watching, backing down would tarnish his reputation. If he appeared weak, other Celestial Supremes might covet his territory.
"Boom!" Purple Qi Immortal's body erupted with countless spiritual lights, and the purple qi surrounding him merged into his body, transforming him into a dazzling spirit form. The boundless spiritual power from his body caused a spiritual storm over Tianluo Continent.
"Celestial Spirit Form, huh? I have that too!" Xiao Tian's body absorbed the flames around him, transforming into a fiery spirit form. At that moment, his flesh turned into pure spiritual energy, capable of unleashing terrifying power with every movement.
"It seems you've only just become a Celestial Supreme and haven't refined the spiritual veins within your body!" Purple Qi Immortal, as an experienced Celestial Supreme, quickly identified Xiao Tian's shortcomings. Xiao Tian had indeed recently ascended to Celestial Supreme and hadn't refined any spiritual veins. However, Purple Qi Immortal was unaware that Xiao Tian had broken through within the core of a realm where time flowed differently, allowing him to cultivate for an extended period.
Moreover, Xiao Tian's body contained the potent bloodlines of the Xiao Clan, the Gu Clan, and the Dragon Phoenix Clan. These bloodlines couldn't manifest as divine abilities like spiritual veins but could integrate into his Celestial Spirit Form, continuously strengthening his physical body.
As Xiao Tian's bloodlines empowered him, his body grew increasingly formidable. Consequently, his decision to fuse his Celestial Spirit Form with his body had turned out to be a wise choice, even if made inadvertently.
