Chapter 2005: Chapter 2005: Xiao Jiteng, Mutation, War

"Who?" Everyone followed the sound and looked over.

In the void.

A man with a somewhat effeminate appearance appeared, exuding the aura of a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Level, with extremely solid foundations, instantly causing a sensation across various realms.

This person was none other than Xiao Fangu in disguise.

"That’s my son, Xiao Jiteng!"

"Heavens, how did he become a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor?"

"Does my grandson have the posture of proving the Dao?"

In the Immortal Realm, the Xiao Family, the ancestors and many cultivators looked towards the sky above the Heavenly Origin Sea, their gaze falling upon the suddenly appearing Xiao Fangu, all of them very shocked.

That turned out to be the prodigy of their clan!

However, he was previously only at the Sixty-layered Immortal Emperor Realm. Though already quite strong, he was far from the terror he displayed now.

"Xiao Jiteng?"

Cultivators from various realms were stunned upon hearing this name, as it was too unfamiliar.

"Do you know this person?"

"Not sure."

"I know him, seems to be the prodigy of the top family Xiao in the Immortal Realm Continent. However, when he appeared some time ago, he was only a Sixty-layered Immortal Emperor with combat power of Four Star, quite poor."

"It seems he hid his strength."

"Terrifying, hidden so deeply."

The strong ones of all realms began to discuss.

No one knew that the real Xiao Jiteng had long been possessed and merged by Xiao Fangu. The one who appeared now was merely using Xiao Jiteng’s identity.

"Who are you?"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign looked at Xiao Fangu, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Immortal Realm, Xiao Family, Xiao Jiteng." Xiao Fangu crossed his arms behind his back, looking very arrogant.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Xiao Fangu appeared before the last Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Proving Dao qualification mark.

"Kid, you’re quite arrogant, but without a combat power of at least King Nine Stars, it’s impossible to merge this qualification mark... Huh?!"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign was about to continue speaking but discovered that Xiao Fangu had already merged the mark.

Thus, the five quotas were filled.

This Proving the Dao battle could begin at any time.

"Just now, who did you say doesn’t have a King Nine Stars combat power?" Xiao Fangu, after merging the mark, looked at Emperor Dragon Sovereign with a provocative gaze.

"Very arrogant, you will pay the price later."

Emperor Dragon Sovereign narrowed his eyes but did not continue to argue with Xiao Fangu, instead closing his eyes to rest.

The Proving Dao was about to begin.

He and others had to remain composed, keeping themselves in peak condition to gain the upper hand in the upcoming Proving the Dao battle.

The Crimson Queen, Tiangang Immortal Emperor, and Gong Qingqiu all scrutinized Xiao Fangu, then moved their gaze away.

"Xiao Jiteng?"

"Didn’t expect so many hidden experts."

In the Misty Holy Sect, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others stared at Xiao Fangu, first stunned, then feeling a slight familiarity but not knowing who he was.

"It’s him!"

Only Ye Feng saw through the truth.

[Name: Xiao Fangu]

[Disguised Identity: Xiao Jiteng]

[Grade: Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm]

[Introduction: A Chaos Dao Body formed from the fusion of the bodies and souls of several top-tier experts and Outer Universe Abyss Clan operatives, including Xiao Fangu, Feng Chuan, a Peerless Beauty, Zhu Yongfu, Dong Yuandong, and Xiao Jiteng; extremely powerful in combat force]

[Remarks: According to soul strength, Xiao Fangu was supposed to be dominated by the Outer Universe Abyss Clan expert, but during the fusion was influenced by the Cosmic Consciousness, giving the leading role to the local cosmic lifeform Xiao Fangu]

The above is the information Ye Feng read.

"What a fellow, I must exclaim, what a fellow!"

Ye Feng was astonished and speechless.

Now that he had mastered the second layer of the Insightful Eye, he could naturally see through Xiao Fangu’s disguise and true origin.

For this reason, he was very shocked.

He hadn’t expected that the fourth disciple, Xiao Fangu, who once betrayed the Misty Sect, had grown to this extent.

"Chaos Dao Body!"

"I really want to see how strong Xiao Fangu, who has the Peerless Beauty’s top-tier physique, is."

Ye Feng was very interested.

If it was someone else advancing to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, Ye Feng felt he wouldn’t have a handle on them. But as for the composite Xiao Fangu, it’s different; he could definitely separate him using the complete version of the Decrypting Eye.

"Today, I shall just watch the spectacle."

Ye Feng was confident, thus standing with arms crossed at the summit of Misty Peak, attentively observing the battle.

Heavenly Origin Sea.

The five Provers-of-the-Dao were observing one another, with Emperor Dragon Sovereign, the Crimson Queen, and Xiao Fangu the most confident, while Gong Qingqiu and Tiangang Immortal Emperor showed worry on their faces.

"The Sect Leader is right, even after my hard training during this period, I may not be able to prove the Dao."

Gong Qingqiu mused.

She had improved significantly, and if she were to employ the first layer of the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability Infinite Combat Power, she could amplify her combat power by over ten times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme. But Emperor Dragon Sovereign and the Crimson Queen were at such levels too.

In a battle of equal combat power, her odds of victory were not high.

"What are you waiting for? Why not start now?" Xiao Fangu suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Jiteng, you’re quite arrogant!" Emperor Dragon Sovereign fixed his gaze on Xiao Fangu, fists clenched, immediately covering himself with a luminous Dragon Scale Armor, with a giant dragon shadow emerging behind him, exuding terrifying pressure.

"Hoo hoo hoo, fight, fight!"

The Crimson Queen watched the fun without fear of trouble, instigating from the side, while quietly retreating, enveloped in a pink mist that emerged behind her.

"Looks like it’s a fight."

Tiangang Immortal Emperor formed seals with both hands, his pupils turning into thunder orbs, with countless Punishment Divine Thunder emerging behind him, overshadowing the sky, almost smiting through the world.

"Proving the Dao is really hard!"

Gong Qingqiu also retreated, forming seals with both hands, with Taiji Discs appearing in front and behind her for protection.

"Five people, is it a free-for-all?"

Xiao Fangu continued to stand with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the faces of Emperor Dragon Sovereign, the Crimson Queen, Tiangang Immortal Emperor, and Gong Qingqiu, always full of confidence.

"Why not take on us four alone?" Emperor Dragon Sovereign laughed, using provocation.

"You take me for a fool?" Xiao Fangu sneered; he was strong, but facing four top-tier experts simultaneously would certainly lead to elimination.

Thus, the five fell silent again.

Nobody wanted to make the first move.

After all, that would trap them in a passive situation. They all taunted each other not out of low intelligence but to draw out flaws in their opponents.

But the five present were all quite shrewd.

Despite mutual insults and constant exchange of provocations, none of them acted.

"Are we gentlemen who argue but don’t fight?"

"Why not fight, what’s the use of all this bickering? Must the most proficient insulter become the victor in this Proving the Dao battle?"

"Wouldn’t that make them the Foul-Mouthed Venerable?"

Cultivators from various realms couldn’t help complaining.

...

Cosmic Sea, waves surged.

Beneath the Abyss.

Venerable Hong Mei extended a hand to grasp the strange, pitch-black Destroyer’s Treasure Box, gazing at the patterns protruding on it, her eyes reflecting countless images of worlds before annihilation, with her lips curling upwards, appearing maniacal and bloodthirsty.

"Finally, it’s accomplished."

As soon as the words fell, Venerable Hong Mei slowly turned around and waved to Venerable Silver Eyebrow beside him.

"Senior Brother, what are your orders?"

"Launch a full-scale attack on the Twin Universe!"

"Understood!" Venerable Silver Eyebrow instantly charged out, arriving at a sea area. With a single arm swing, hundreds of Half-Step Heavenly Venerables and over ten billion Immortal Emperor Level Cosmic Sea Fish troops were ready to engage and invade the Universe at any moment.

"Remember, leave no one alive!"

Venerable Silver Eyebrow shouted.

The next moment, he and Venerable Hong Mei appeared near the giant vortex of the Twin Universe, then looked up to the sky. One could vaguely see a small area of spatial distortion, which was the Black Prison Peak passage.

"Venerable, why attack from here instead of entering through the vortex?" Moon-Worshipper Elder was puzzled.

Venerable Silver Eyebrow looked askance at Moon-Worshipper Elder: "The vortex beneath us leads to a One-Way Extraterritorial Gate, considered the universe’s mouth, specifically for consuming things. Once an army enters, the loss rate would exceed ninety-nine percent. In that case, what kind of Cosmic Grade War could we fight?"

"What?" Moon-Worshipper Elder was taken aback.

Venerable Silver Eyebrow added: "The Black Prison Peak passage is different. It’s a two-way passage. When Cosmic Sea Creatures enter from there, they won’t be attacked by the Cosmic Consciousness, ensuring safe passage."

"Oh, I understand now." Moon-Worshipper Elder hadn’t expected Venerable Silver Eyebrow to be so knowledgeable.

"Next, my Senior Brother and I will jointly open the Black Prison Peak passage, then the troops will enter immediately to launch a Cosmic Grade War, understand?"

Venerable Silver Eyebrow said.

The reason they knew the Black Prison Peak was a two-way passage was due to Venerable Silver Eyebrow’s analysis of prior intelligence from Moon-Worshipper Elder. After inferring, he concluded that the Black Prison Peak passage was the optimal invasion point.

"Understood!"

Moon-Worshipper Elder and over a hundred other Half-Step Heavenly Venerable powerhouses all nodded, prepared for action.

The next moment.

Venerable Hong Mei and Venerable Silver Eyebrow appeared near that distorted temporal-spatial area in midair and began exerting their power.

Black Prison Peak, silence reigned.

Inside a large wooden house on a Floating Ancient Tree.

The Black Prison Demonic Beast lay upon a carpet, feeling an icy chill throughout its body, as if a significant event was unfolding.

"I shouldn’t die, right?"

"I can’t die! I still have countless Cosmic Sea Fish to devour. I must live until eternity. Even if there’s a cosmic explosion, I must survive!"

The Black Prison Demonic Beast trembled with fear.

It sensed the impending crisis.

Bang!

The carpet suddenly shook, and the area that once covered the rectangular passage entrance exploded, causing the entire wooden house to tremble, then collapse.

"The prophecy is coming true!"

The Black Prison Demonic Beast saw the collapsing wooden house, quickly grabbed its personal belongings, and fled.

Crash!

The next moment, the entire wooden house crumbled into powder, revealing the surrounding scene.

One could see the rectangular passage entrance was actually a tree hole on the trunk of the Floating Ancient Tree, though its shape was irregular, with a diameter of only about three meters.

But, in the next moment.

The entire Floating Ancient Tree expanded infinitely, transforming into a gigantic tree that blotted out the sky and rooted at the peak of Black Prison Peak. Countless leaves withered and burned, making the entire ancient tree appear dilapidated, as if deceased.

The tree hole on the trunk began to enlarge.

After a short while.

The tree hole became a gateway, its base connecting to the peak of Black Prison Peak, hundreds of meters in width and height, capable of accommodating numerous large creatures.

In the distant void.

The Black Prison Demonic Beast glanced back at the enormous gateway atop Black Prison Peak and sighed deeply.

"Attention all, the Black Prison has fallen!"

With these words, the sound instantly echoed through the space rifts nearby, spreading throughout the universe, even stunning the five people preparing to prove the Dao in the Heavenly Origin Sea.

Black Prison Peak has fallen?

What’s going on?!

"Invaders?" Ye Feng was immediately alert, tearing through the void and appearing in the Black Prison void, and was shocked by the changes he saw.

Woosh, woosh, woosh!

Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor, Hu Feifei, and others appeared one after another. Green Destiny Immortal Emperor, Heavenly Venerable Lu, Xiao Cangtian, Heavenly Emperor Lingtian also arrived.

In an instant, the Black Prison was filled with tens of thousands of high-level Immortal Emperor Realm individuals, including Ye Feng.

"Invaders? Where are they?"

The Ancient Sky Tribe Ancestor, Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, Qingchen Ancient Immortal, and Six-Eyed Divine King, all Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, arrived as well.

But they all took their cues from Ye Feng.

Although he was currently only a Ninety-Five-Layered Immortal Emperor, he was the unchallenged center. Even the few Half-Step Heavenly Venerables stood aside.

"They’re there, almost here."

Ye Feng pointed to the tree hole at the peak of Black Prison Peak.

"Ye Feng, this is bad. The legendary cosmic crisis prophecy is coming true." The Black Prison Demonic Beast, from who knows where, shouted towards Ye Feng.

"What prophecy?"

Ye Feng and the others looked at the Black Prison Demonic Beast.

"According to legend, the universe will face a catastrophe, and Black Prison Peak will become the battlefield of a cosmic-grade war. Furthermore, the Floating Ancient Tree will turn into a super massive tree, unleashing countless terrifying cosmic external beings from the tree hole. This war could very well lead to the collapse of the entire universe."

The Black Prison Demonic Beast solemnly explained.

"Is that so?" The Ancestor of Demons also tore through the void, arriving at the Black Prison, his face changed dramatically.

With a shattered nest, no egg remains unbroken!

If the universe were to fall, despite his overpowering combat prowess, he would likely lose his chance to prove the Dao.

After all, there would be no universe left by then.

"No wonder this Origin Era released the Dao-Proving quota for three True Heavenly Venerables, ten Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, and over a hundred Half-Step Heavenly Venerables. It turns out the Cosmic Consciousness sensed the crisis and thus cultivated cosmic protectors on a large scale."

The Ancestor of Demons realized the truth.

Ye Feng looked toward the Ancestor of Demons, "Correct!"

"Ye Feng, do you have a way? Here, you are the most formidable." The Ancestor of Demons inquired.

"For soldiers, we will counter them with generals; for waters, we will counter them with earth." Ye Feng drew the Primordial Sword Embryo from his back, his aura surged, elevating his state to its peak, exuding a terrifying momentum.

Even the Ancestor of Demons felt as if he were a withered leaf in a violent gust, utterly powerless to resist.

"Dammit, this is terrifying!"

The Ancestor of Demons trembled, feeling that not antagonizing Ye Feng was a very wise decision.

Above the Heavenly Origin Sea.

"A Cosmic Grade War is breaking out?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Quickly engage in battle and prove the Dao. Once one of us becomes a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, we can certainly turn the tide and suppress the external foes."

Emperor Dragon Sovereign and Gong Qingqiu spoke out consecutively.

"Indeed, let’s fight!" The Crimson Queen also realized the severity of the situation, feeling no room for delay.

"Damn, why is it a Cosmic Grade War breaking out now? But it’s also fine; once I prove the Dao, I shall crush all opposition, haha..."

Xiao Fangu snickered darkly.

The next moment, the five engaged in chaotic battle.

Light waves clashed chaotically, the void shattered, releasing copious temporal-spatial turbulence that obscured visibility. No one knew the current state of the battle.

In the Black Prison.

Ye Feng stood at the front, holding the Primordial Sword Embryo, and solemnly said, "Let’s hold off the Outer Realm Evil Spirits for those five individuals to gain time to prove the Dao. Once a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable emerges, the pressure will be much less."

"Understood!" Everyone chimed in unison.

"Haha..."

At that moment, a spine-chilling and sinister laugh echoed from the dim tree hole.
