BXBX NOVEL Chapter 506: Separated Immortal is Possessed!_1
At this moment, the entire Xianlin Realm was filled with the pervasive aura of the Immortal World. Many cultivators craned their necks, eager to glimpse the world beyond the Immortal Gate that countless practitioners had been dreaming of for countless years.
However, they were unable to see anything.
At this very moment, the vibrant multicolored glow became even more dazzling. It descended from the sky, wrapping around Bingmeng Fairy in its radiance. Underneath its cover, she seemed to have transformed into a true Immortal!
But just then.
An unexpected incident occurred.
There was a sudden tremor in the endless void above.
Immediately afterward, a terrifying giant hand shattered the void, reaching out from a place of nothingness, grasping towards the multicolored glow.
As soon as this giant hand appeared, it was as if a hornet’s nest had been stirred. Other giant hands attacked one after another from several other directions.
“Separated Immortals!”
Tao Yao murmured softly.
To be precise, they were demons of the Separated Immortal level.
Even a Separated Immortal couldn’t utilize this multicolored glow, for this was a baptism from the Immortal World for Bingmeng Fairy. It would be of little use to others, and might even have detrimental effects instead.
But for the demons of the Separated Immortal level…it was extremely useful.
These creatures appeared to have launched their attack from the Spirit Realm.
Though the passage to the Spirit Realm was not open, if these creatures wanted to come in person, it would have been a little troublesome.
However, they seemed to be capable of breaking through the void through some means and attacked across realms.
Even though the Spirit Realm is a world of its own, it is ultimately not as difficult to enter as the Immortal World. The Separated Immortals are equivalent to half of an immortal, and it was entirely possible for them to attack across the realms.
The cost and consumption for these demons at the Separated Immortal level to take such action is certainly not small.
However, at such a critical moment, their gains far exceed their losses.
“Look!”
In the Xianlin Realm, the cultivators were also startled by the commotion.
They saw, in the boundless skies above, that the giant hands of the demons of the Separated Immortal level were all reaching out towards the pillar of multicolored light.
Such a light pillar was emitted from the Immortal Gate and enveloped Bingmeng Fairy.
The aim of these demons at the Separated Immortal level was not Bingmeng Fairy.
Instead, they were after the energy contained within the glow.
This energy represented the baptism of the Immortal World.
It was of great benefit to the demons of the Separated Immortal level.
However, this was not exactly friendly to Bingmeng Fairy.
By now, her consumption of energy had already reached a critical level.
If the constant baptism ceased, it was highly likely that she wouldn’t be able to perform her remaining two punches in her ascension process.
“Attack together!”
They saw, at the emergence of these towering giant hands, many cultivators in the Beidou Holy Land roared in unison.
Immediately following, four formations consisting of Combine Body and Void Refinement launched their assaults in unison, charging towards the giant hands reaching high into the sky.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
They observed that under these assaults, the towering giant hands shook and each shrank a little.
However, they had already captured a considerable amount of the radiant energy, causing a momentary fracture on the light pillar.
The towering giant hands quickly withdrew.
But as soon as they withdrew, they reappeared.
“Oh, for the love of…”
Bingmeng Fairy’s ascension was unexpectedly exploited by these creatures.
This was only the beginning. If they were to continue like this, her chances of success would be quite low.
Bingmeng Fairy paid no attention to these towering giant hands, she continued to pound at the Immortal Gate relentlessly.
At this point, it was not realistic for her to divert her attention to deal with these demons of the Separated Immortal level.
“Rumble”
In the vicinity, numerous great arrays rose.
However, as Bingmeng Fairy needed to strike the Immortal Gate, these great arrays could barely offer any defense. The four formations made up of Combine Body and Void Refinement cultivators then soared into the sky, trying to block the towering giant hands launched by the demons of the Separated Immortal level.
“Boom!”
Another giant hand surged forth, with twenty cultivators at the Combine Body stage and over three hundred at the Void Refinement stage, all simultaneously deploying their magic.
“Roar!”
They all seemed to transform into a fierce tiger, letting out a ground-shaking roar, and striking hard with their tiger claws.
Then, the towering giant hand trembled under the tiger’s attack. Under the combined assault of so many cultivators, it was forced to halt.
“Hmph!”
But with a soft huff, the Separate Immortal towering behind the giant hand, visibly enraged, struck again.
Suddenly, an even larger giant hand struck forward.
The fierce tiger attacked again.
But this time, the tiger failed to block the attack and was sent flying by the giant hand.
“Re-form the array!”
At this point, a cultivator at the Tribulation Passing stage from the Beidou Holy Land couldn’t hold back any longer, he rushed into the formation to act as the array head.
It wasn’t just one formation. Other formations also began falling behind in their clashes with demon-like Separate Immortals.
Despite the large number of cultivators at the Combine Body and Void Refinement stage in these formations, they were simply unable to resist the overwhelming power of the Separate Immortals.
Even though they took action while Bingmeng Fairy was ascending, their strength was so tremendous that it was boundless even across the Spirit Realm.
The cultivation of Separate Immortals can also keep increasing over time.
Some ancient Separate Immortals might even be on par with true Immortals in terms of pure strength.
Of course, the Separate Immortals of the righteous path wouldn’t interfere. Only those at the level of Separate Immortal demons took action.
It wasn’t long after these demons started taking action that the Tribulation Passing cultivators from Beidou Holy Land were pushed into responding.
In the four formations, one Tribulation Passing cultivator was sent into each.
These Tribulation Passing cultivators, not necessarily all in a state of calm, were simply unable to fight for a prolonged period of time.
The battle in the high sky suddenly became more intense.
The Separate Immortal level demons, separated by the Spirit Realm, kept the attack coming with their giant hands while the Beidou Holy Land was putting everything into defense.
Despite repeatedly breaking up giant hands, more kept appearing.
The tri-colored glow was occasionally interrupted by these giant hands, cutting away large chunks from it.
“At this rate, Bingmeng Fairy will struggle to succeed.”
Qin Changqing made this observation.
The interruption of the tri-colored glow was impacting Bingmeng Fairy as her progress attacking the Immortal Gate slowed significantly.
At this point, the situation took another turn.
In the high sky, more giant hands appeared but this time, they were white rather than black.
They began clashing with the Separate Immortal level demons.
“These should be the Separate Immortals behind Beidou Holy Land.”
Thought Qin Changqing.
Every Holy Land, more or less, had Separate Immortals behind them.
Beidou Holy Land obviously had some too.
However, after the Separate Immortals behind Beidou Holy Land took action, not only did the Separate Immortal level demons not reduce in number, but they became even more numerous.
For a time, the sky was filled with even more giant demon hands.
Now, it was even more challenging for Beidou Holy Land to fend them off.
“How could there be so many?”
Qin Changqing thought.
He felt that there were just too many demons at the Separate Immortal level.
“My husband, I had heard that in the last one hundred thousand years, many Separate Immortals have fallen into demonic ways.”
At this point, Master Fengtian’s voice sounded.
Separate Immortals becoming demons!
“Becoming Separate Immortals is too hard, but after falling into demonic ways, they have another choice – ascending to the Demon Realm, or the Chaos Realm. That is one of the reasons why the Demon Saint Palace has grown more powerful in these years.”
Master Fengtian explained.
