The Universe Sundering Art was the number one art in the world when it came to shattering Stellar Energy, and even the most powerful defenses had little to boast about in front of Xie Guangting. But Xie Guangting had only just charged out when Wang Chong soared into the sky like a leaf in a gale, wrapped up in a fierce energy.
Xie Guangting didn't have time to stop him. He could only look up into the sky as, in a flash of light, Wang Chong vanished like a popped bubble.
”!!!”
Even someone as shrewd and experienced as Xie Guangting couldn't help but be startled by this sight. His vast sea of Stellar Energy roiled around him, not knowing where to go.
”It's the Origin Immortal Mountain's seal!”
After a moment of thought, Xie Guangting understood what was going on.
”Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu took him into the Origin Immortal Mountain!” Song Yuanyi observed as he stepped forward, his solemn eyes focused on the same point as Xie Guangting. ”The seal of the Origin Immortal Mountain has been completely opened!”
As if in response to Song Yuanyi's words, the opening of that crack that extended from the middle of the sky down to the ground accelerated. The ground began to shake and sway as the illusions of the Origin Immortal Mountain surrounded by the dazzling glow disappeared, replaced by an ever-widening ripple. At the center of this ripple, a heaven-soaring peak, its surface black and brown, began to slowly emerge from behind that vast fissure in space.
As that craggy and precipitous mountain slowly emerged, everyone present had a strange feeling that this divine Origin Immortal Mountain had been there the entire time. It had just been concealed in a fold in space.
Now that the space was unfolding, this mysterious mountain was finally appearing before mortal eyes.
”Look over there!”
Someone pointed and shouted, and a moment later, everyone saw what that person had noticed: a gigantic stone stele placed in front of the Origin Immortal Mountain. This stele had been forged from the toughest Xuanwu stone, and two rows of golden words had been chiseled onto it.
'Treasury of the Origin Immortal Art, left behind for the destined ones'!
Everyone could clearly make out those dazzling words, and the mood of the region instantly changed.
”It's the Origin Immortal Art, the Origin Immortal Art… It really is here!”
An unaffiliated martial artist's eyes went wide and his breathing became fast and ragged. Other martial artists went red in the eyes, avarice emerging on their faces.
The Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art was the strongest martial art of the Central Plains. Anyone who knew its name knew just how powerful it was.
Song Yuanyi's Immortal Universe Eternal Spring Mantra was unparalleled when it came to recovery ability, repulsing power, and long-term combat. Xie Guangting's Universe Sundering Art was incomparably powerful when it came to offensive ability, shattering Stellar Energy, and direct combat. The Myriad Ghost Ancestor's Myriad Ghosts Pilgrimage Great Yin Art and Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu's Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art also belonged to the ranks of the supreme arts of the world.
If one could learn any one of these techniques, they could become a tyrant or hegemon of the world that others would have to look up to in awe and respect.
But the above-mentioned arts, no matter how formidable, all paled in comparison to the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art. Of the ten supreme arts, only the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art was known as an 'immortal' art.
”The Origin Immortal Art, the Origin Immortal Art… as long as I can find this art, I can surpass Song Yuanyi, the Black Yin Ancestor, and even Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu! Haha, the treasury is open! This number one art of the world is mine!” an unaffiliated martial artist muttered to himself, turning insane eyes on the Origin Immortal Mountain. Swoosh! He lunged forward while the others were still immersed in shock, charging toward the mountain.
Whether it was Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, or Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu, these were all dreaded hegemons of the world of sects, but at this moment, the enormous temptation of the number one art had made everyone forget their fear. As they said, riches and honor were found in danger, and even if they had to venture through a sea of fire and travel over a mountain of blades, they did not care.
”Who dares to fight over this with me!? Out of my way!”
As that first unaffiliated martial artist charged forward, a sword shot with astonishing speed at his back.
”Ah!”
This martial artist was unable to react in time, and the sword pierced through him, dropping him dead to the ground.
”Out of my way! The Origin Immortal Art is mine! Anyone who stops me will die! The one who obtains the Origin Immortal Art will be the strongest expert in the world!”
……
Hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of martial artists charged at the Origin Immortal Mountain.
The crowd was thrown into a frenzied disarray, and the sight of those people with their red eyes alarmed and frightened many Righteous Alliance disciples. In this situation, not even the Righteous Alliance dared try to stop these people.
”Alliance Lord, what do we do?”
Sikong Yuanjia and Ouyang Changheng leaped forward to Song Yuanyi's side. They had come to deal with Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu, but the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art was also one of the Righteous Alliance's objectives.
