Chapter 2464: Mystic Immortal Mountain

Chapter 2464: Mingtu Xian Shan

"Stop him."

The gods of Mingtu roared fiercely, each gripping their battle spears and charging forward. Many wielded imperial artifacts, unleashing emperor's path immortal techniques—palm strikes, fist shadows, blade lights, sword gleams, magical tools, and bursts of imperial immortal radiance filled the sky. All carried destructive power, sweeping down upon Ye Chen like a tidal wave.

Boom!

Before the attacks could fully land, the azure sky of Mingtu had already shattered.

Ye Chen's lips still curved into a slight, mocking smile. He ignored the onslaught completely, using an ethereal emperor's path evasion to dodge, step by step advancing deeper into Mingtu. Xie Bing Xie looked down on him, but what interested Ye Chen was the person deep within.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His footsteps remained heavy, making the heavens and earth of Mingtu tremble.

With each step he took, another divine mark appeared on his forehead—it was a curse mark. This meant the curse of Motian Emperor had fully manifested, with no possibility of concealment. If it could be removed now, it would vanish forever, but only if he could be suppressed.

Boom! Rumble!

As the Heavenly Emperor's curse fully awakened, Ye Chen's demonic power grew even stronger. Rolling demonic aura flooded every inch of Mingtu's lands, each thread as heavy as a mountain.

Gazing closely into his eyes, they were pitch-black like voids, devoid of pupils, yet filled with visions of destruction—lightning flashed and thundered within, scorching suns collapsed, and stars disintegrated. It was unimaginably terrifying.

A supreme demon god had fully awakened—not an emperor, yet not inferior to one.

"Where do you think you're going?"

An elderly god of Mingtu bellowed, crossing through the cosmos in a single step to block his path. Burning his origin, he activated numerous forbidden seals and swung his dark battle spear down from the heavens.

"Overestimating your abilities."

Ye Chen's eyes were full of disdain as he casually swung a sword, shattering the dark battle spear and sending the old god flying. Before the god could stop, his divine body exploded, leaving only a faint primordial spirit.

Suppress!

Nine gods of Mingtu arrived, each holding an imperial sword. They formed seals with one hand, and emperor's path array patterns spread across the sky, converging into an imperial formation that descended to seal Ye Chen.

Ye Chen chuckled darkly and used Flying Thunder God to escape, then swept out with a palm, knocking the nine gods aside.

Exterminate!

Dozens of peak quasi-emperors filled the void, summoning the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea. It covered the sky, with roaring waves inscribed with emperor's path divine principles, driven by imperial artifacts to engulf Ye Chen.

Seal!

Hundreds of gods acted in unison, some wielding imperial artifacts, some activating magical tools, and others using sealing divine abilities. Without exception, they all reinforced the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea, layering seals upon seals. The sealing power was horrific—even a saintly sovereign trapped inside would have their divine soul obliterated in an instant.

"Seal me?"

A faint laugh echoed from within the immortal sea, laced with supreme demonic power.

Immediately, a pillar of black light shot straight into the sky. Centered on the pillar, a layer of demonic halo infused with rolling demonic aura spread out, forcefully devouring the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea in reverse.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Blood flowers bloomed spectacularly as countless gods were flung back by the demonic halo. Numerous ultimate imperial artifacts were also sent flying through the air, unable to withstand the annihilating halo.

"All beings are mere ants."

Ye Chen emerged like a sovereign overlooking the eight directions.

He bore wounds, inflicted by the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea.

However, those injuries were superficial and vanished in an instant. His bloodline limit of immortality and indestructibility meant that unless struck down in one blow, even a single drop of blood could rebuild his divine body—that was the dominance of his bloodline limit.

Unfortunately, few could land a hit on him.

A supreme demon god, with divine-level enhancements throughout his body, was no mere decoration.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

More banging sounds followed as Ye Chen strolled leisurely, a playful smile on his lips, step by step heading deeper. It seemed he was in no hurry, or perhaps savoring the sensation.

"Stop him."

The gods of Mingtu shouted in fury, charging forward wave after wave.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The entire Mingtu shook violently, stained with fresh blood.

Outside the forbidden zone, many bold and high-realm elders had gathered.

Unfortunately, their vision was limited; they could only see scenes of destruction—annihilating immortal lights crisscrossing, mountains collapsing, and palaces exploding. All they could hear were roars of anger shaking the heavens and earth.

"Too powerful."

The elders' voices trembled, their hearts pounding with shock. After all these years, Mingtu had never been beaten so badly! Compared to Ye Chen, the Seven Sons of Donghua and the Six Paths were just playing around. This one was the true demon god, slaughtering Mingtu's forces into utter disarray.

"If it's just Ye Chen alone, what if the two great sacred bodies joined him? Wouldn't Mingtu be utterly destroyed?"

More people clicked their tongues in amazement, still believing that Di Huang and the Female Sacred Body were the main force, with Ye Chen merely their vanguard.

"What about Da Chu's Nine Emperors? Or the Divine Generals of the Emperors? Are they just standing by?"

"Intervene? Who dares?"

"Honghuang has already been suppressed—who can withstand the might of two great sacred bodies?"

"The other four forbidden zones must be sending reinforcements."

Discussions erupted everywhere, as people incredulously watched the forbidden zone, which even past great emperors had feared, now being attacked. If word spread, few in the world would believe it.

Boom! Rumble!

Amid the discussions, more rumbling sounds arose.

From a distance, it was clear that reinforcements from the four forbidden zones—Donghuang, Purgatory, Wangchuan, and Huangquan—had arrived. Their armies blanketed the sky, led by ultimate imperial artifacts, with majestic momentum and surging killing intent. Every pair of eyes was etched with icy coldness.

Slay Immortal Sword!

Accompanied by this furious roar, the reinforcements from the four forbidden zones charged into Mingtu.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Deafening rumbles followed, not only shaking Mingtu but also causing the lands outside the forbidden zone to sway back and forth, affecting the entire Southern Domain and even the whole Xuanhuang realm. The Xuanhuang Star Sea churned with waves, leaving countless beings unable to stand steady.

More people gathered, clueless about the events, only knowing that the Tenth Emperor of Da Chu was attacking Mingtu and had already breached the forbidden zone, causing chaos.

In Mingtu, blood stained the azure sky.

Even with the five forbidden zones united, they couldn't defeat Ye Chen—or more precisely, couldn't stop him. His movements were too unpredictable; the barrage of attacks could barely touch him, while he struck back, making them bleed repeatedly.

It was like a grand battle of gods and demons, with countless figures falling from the sky and others surging upward. Blood and bones flew everywhere, turning the dim heavens of Mingtu into a gruesome sight.

"Our Heavenly Court, to have such a day."

In various corners of Mingtu, too many eyes were wet with tears—mostly younger generations, peers of Tianxu Emperor's Son, and soldiers below quasi-emperor level. They had no right to join the battle and trembled at the sight of their elders fighting so fiercely, their souls roaring involuntarily.

Recalling the past, what a presence the Heavenly Court had been—ruling the four seas and eight wastelands, supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths, unchallenged across the universe.

Alas, a great catastrophe had destroyed that prosperous dynasty.

In that war, emperors fell, the Heavenly Court was annihilated, and peak divine generals were nearly wiped out. The remnants, like defeated dogs, had barely survived through countless eons.

Now, tens of thousands of years later, the Heavenly Court's divine might was gone, invaded by a single person. Looking at their forces, not even one could hold the line. Who could understand such a state of mind?

"Emperors, show your spirits!"

Too many knelt on the ground, crying out hoarsely, calling upon their ancestral emperors. Their sobs were filled with grief, like funeral dirges echoing through Mingtu.

Yet, what responded was only the thunderous booms, like tolling death knells.

"This feeling is truly wonderful."

Listening to the Heavenly Court's cries, Ye Chen laughed mockingly, with an added touch of enjoyment.

In the distance, a vast and ethereal immortal mountain came into his view.

The mountain was wondrous, like a dream or illusion, enveloped in dazzling immortal light. Every flower, plant, tree, and blade of grass within exuded spirituality, with ancient visions flickering in and out. It seemed to sit at the end of time, visible but unattainable, with the sounds of the Great Dao resonating like a purifying immortal melody filling the world.

Who would imagine that in the dark Mingtu, such a ethereal immortal mountain existed?

From a bird's-eye view in the void, it was like a pearl embedded in the darkness, strikingly conspicuous.

And the target of the Slay Immortal Sword's journey was precisely this immortal mountain, or rather, the person sealed within it.

"Stop him."

Countless gods howled, dragging their blood-soaked bodies across the sky to block Ye Chen's path. Others stood guard before the immortal mountain, using their blood and bones to build a crimson wall for it and the person inside.

"How boring."

Ye Chen laughed sinisterly, his body turning ethereal again. Ignoring the onslaught, he stepped through the cosmos, bypassed the gods, and surged with towering demonic aura as he entered the immortal mountain in one stride.

Instantly, the wondrous immortal mountain was engulfed by demonic aura, its dazzling light vanishing. Every flower, plant, tree, and blade of grass withered at a visible speed, while spiritual springs and immortal pools dried up. Everything was shrouded in demonic aura, transforming the once beautiful immortal mountain into a demonic one, gleaming with an evil light.

"Damn it." The forbidden zone experts roared in anger, charging into the immortal mountain one after another.

"Get out!"

A single word boomed like thunder, cold and authoritative.

Then, figures were sent flying out of the immortal mountain in droves. Those with weaker cultivation had their bodies destroyed, leaving only their primordial spirits vulnerable.

Even so, more pressed forward relentlessly.

But it was all in vain—whatever went in was thrown out. No one could withstand Ye Chen's attacks, and even the buzzing ultimate imperial artifacts were sent flying one by one.

The immortal mountain was drenched in blood, its last traces of elegance scattered amid the flying blood mist.

In that moment, the heavens and earth seemed to freeze, silent and eerily still.

"Impossible, this is impossible."

After the silence, a roar erupted from within the immortal mountain—it was Ye Chen's voice, but the Slay Immortal Sword speaking. The tone was full of disbelief, laced with terror.

It seemed to have seen something dreadful. Despite the surging demonic aura and having entered the mountain, it was now retreating step by step. Perhaps retreating too hastily, it nearly stumbled. Ye Chen's eyes, like black voids, no longer showed visions of destruction but were etched with fear.

It wasn't Ye Chen who feared—it was the Slay Immortal Sword. It retreated step by step, as if it wouldn't stop until the end of time, desperate to flee this immortal mountain as quickly as possible.

As it retreated, it suddenly halted, its expression turning ferocious in an instant.

"I don't believe it."

With a roar, it stomped through the heavens, attempting to re-enter the mountain.

But before it could step inside, a crystalline jade hand emerged from the immortal mountain and struck out.

That hand was fair and luminous, tinged with immortal haze, beautifully formed yet ancient and weathered. Its slender fingers bore not only stories but also world-ending divine might.

Pfft!

Ye Chen spat blood, taking the full force of the strike. He was sent flying from the immortal mountain, soaring across the dark Mingtu, over the Southern Domain's lands, and through the Xuanhuang Star Sea, trailing blood light as he crashed back into the vast starry sky, smashing countless stars along the way.

Who would have thought that a supreme demon god, on par with a great emperor, would have his divine body obliterated by that single palm? Amid his immortality and indestructibility, he rebuilt repeatedly, only to be destroyed again and again, until his bloodline limit was completely shattered.
