On the square in front of the main hall of the Fire God Palace, thousands of disciples stood in neat formation, their crimson armor glinting with blood-red light under the sunlight, and the spears, swords, and scimitars in their hands glinting coldly under the morning light.
Their faces looked grim, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit, but deep within their eyes lay an almost imperceptible fear.
David’s name has spread throughout the Eighteen Heavens.
An Eighth Level True Immortal eliminated a Fifth Level Golden Immortal, Holy Light Heavenly Venerate, and led three hundred disciples from Qingyun Grotto Heaven to destroy the Bright Hall and massacre the entire sect.
A track record like that was enough to instill fear in anyone.
Yan Wuji stood on a high platform, his golden red armor gleaming dazzlingly under the sunlight. The armor was covered in fire runes, each of which rotated slowly and emitted a scorching aura.
He held a golden red longsword in his hand, the blade blazing with raging flames. It was the treasure of the Fire God Palace—the Fire Emperor Sword, which was said to be the ancient Fire Emperor sword, containing a glimmer of his divine will, and possessed immense power.
Beside him stood a burly middle-aged man with a stern face and a silver mark between his eyebrows, the symbol of a high-ranking member of the Void Merchant Guild.
Han Qianshan, a sixth-rank Gold Immortal and Inspector of the Void Merchant Guild.
Behind Han Qianshan, more than thirty cultivators from the Void Merchant Guild, wearing silver-white robes, stood in neat rows, each with a cultivation level of at least the third rank of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Their faces were expressionless, their eyes void of emotion, like a group of cold statues; only the eerie aura emanating from them proved that they were living, breathing humans.
The combined pressure was like an invisible mountain pressing down on the square, making the Fire God Palace disciples almost unable to breathe.
Yan Wuji smiled with satisfaction, his eyes sparkling with pride.
Han Qianshan, a level six Gold Immortal from the Void Merchant Guild, along with over thirty elite Gold Immortals, thousands of disciples from his Fire God Palace, dozens of elders, and the Heaven Flame Capital Divine Fire Formation.
With this kind of lineup, let alone David, even if the entire Qingyun Cave Heaven came out, he would not be afraid.
“Palace Master, David has arrived.”
A scout flew from a distance, landed in front of the platform, knelt on one knee, and his voice trembled slightly.
Yan Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint radiating from his golden red pupils.
How many people came?
“More than three hundred people, all the disciples of Qingyun Cave Heaven have been mobilized. David is leading the team.”
Yan Wuji’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“Over three hundred people? With that many, you think you can raze my Fire God Palace to the ground?” His voice was full of disdain. “I want to see what David is capable of.”
Han Qianshan stood aside, his golden red eyes staring into the distance, without saying a word.
His divine sense had detected David’s aura, an aura that was as deep as an abyss and as heavy as a mountain, carrying a sense of oppression that made people’s hearts tremble.
Golden Immortal Realm, Level One.
Forty days ago, David was only at the eighth level of the True Immortal Realm.
Forty days later, he had successfully broken through to the first rank of the Golden Immortal Realm.
This cultivation speed made even Han Qianshan, a sixth-rank Gold Immortal, feel chills down his spine.
However, he quickly suppressed the cold feeling.
Between the first and sixth ranks of the Golden Immortal Realm, there are five small realms, each of which is an insurmountable chasm.
Even if David was very strong, he couldn’t possibly challenge someone five levels higher than him.
He was a level six Gold Immortal, not a level five Gold Immortal like Holy Light Heavenly Venerate.
With that in mind, Han Qianshan felt at ease.
David’s team stopped on the outskirts of the Fire Mountains.
Three hundred Qingyun Cave disciples stood in formation at the foot of the mountain, their blue Daoist robes a stark contrast to the red spiritual mist. At the same time, the longswords at their waists were unsheathed, their light sparkling in the sunlight, like a forest of blue swords.
David stood at the very front of the row, his purple eyes staring at the Fire God Palace on the distant mountain peak. His gaze penetrated the layers of spiritual mist and fell onto the enormous golden-red spiritual energy barrier.
Fiery Heavenly God Fire Formation.
He had heard of the name of this formation: a legacy ancient formation with infinite power. That said, even a rank-six Gold Immortal would have difficulty breaking this formation in a short period of time.
However, David’s lips only curved into a cold smile.
A big formation?
There was no formation that could withstand his sword attack.
If so, then there are two swords.
“Walk.”
David lifted his feet and walked up the mountain, his steps were neither fast nor slow, every step was very steady and heavy.
Master Yuxu and Jiang Xuelan followed behind him, one on each side. Three hundred disciples filed in, a long turquoise dragon winding its way along the red mountain path. Their Daoist robes fluttered in spiritual mist, and their longswords clattered at their waists.
The spiritual trees on both sides of the path on the mountain were filled with fiery red spiritual fruits, which were faintly visible within the spiritual mist and emitted a scorching aura.
