Entering Ultimate Immortals Monument

Cheng Yan asked his two brothers, “Coming home?”

Lie Shang pursed his lips. “… Not yet.”

“But we’re family.” Xiang Nan did not look back at Cheng Yan, perhaps out of guilt or perhaps to avoid facing Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan set aside his emotions and drew his sword in synchrony with his two brothers. Meanwhile, two from shadow race and another pair from shadowless race entered Ultimate Immortals Monument. Gu Yitian also went after them since he could not be of much assistance in a fight between almost a dozen Apotheosis Realm adepts. Hun Kui did not bother stopping them, either, as he forecasted a rough war.

Just as both sides powered up to commence, rustling sounds accompanied two pairs of brisk footsteps. Plants sprouted behind him as he strode toward them. The young boy accompanying him had a candied haw skewer in each hand, merrily eating from each side alternatingly. The young man did not deploy a domain, yet none of the active domains perturbed or impacted him. “I was wondering if I might’ve been running late.”

A smile came to Cheng Yan’s lips. “You’re not.”

“Let’s get down to business.” Lie Shang doused his blade in flames.

“Together?” Xiang Nan asked.

“Ptoo!” Xiaoshuai emptied his mouth and said, “Why is everyone just standing there? The entrance to the monument is going to close in a few more minutes.”

“Exactly.” Mu Yu ruffled Xiaoshuai’s hair in a friendly manner. “I prefer to toy with the soul race using celestial preservation energy before I wipe them out.”

Xiaoshuai reverted to his beast form and hopped onto Mu Yu’s shoulder. Instead of fighting, Mu Yu flashed over to the monument and, prior to entering, declared, “I will kill anyone affiliated with Five Mountains Alliance.”

Cheng Yan and his brothers followed suit. Hun Kui did not impede for the timer was almost done, meaning his five subordinates might not have been able to enter if they started tussling.

“Make sure to take one spot!” Hun Kui ordered.

“Understood.”

The monument returned to its dull colour once the five soul race members went in after the others, while Hun Kui departed after shooting the cultivators waiting a glare.

Ultimate Immortal Monument communicated all of the details of the test straight into Mu Yu’s mind once he entered from the ultimate immortal crest on his arm. He simply had to collect nine ultimate immortal gems to be granted entry to the ancient battlefield to decide who the last nine standing would be. His crest turned into a thumb-sized crystal, which was one of the nine ultimate immortal gems he needed to gather. The other eight contestants had to find the gems themselves. In other words, they could rob others, a conclusion that everyone quickly drew.

“I can’t disperse the fog here, and the eerie cries are annoying me.” Xiaoshuai could not wag away the white mist in the barren plain just as Mu Yu could not.

“I have about fifty metres of vision, and I can’t control any of the plants here,” Mu Yu noted as he crouch down to try manipulating a blade of grass. “That means this is a separate world with its own laws. Anyway, the easy way to collect nine will be to pinch them. Guess there’s no flying through this dense fog if I can’t even see the ground, though.”

Two hours later…

“Man, it’s been two hours, yet all we’ve seen is a forest and mount-, I smell blood coming from the valley interior.”

Mu Yu rushed toward the valley to find mountains of bones. “These people must’ve died centuries, if not more than millenniums, ago judging from their condition. Human bones. Fiend bones? Long horns sprouting out of the chest?”

“Flesh-winged horny mountains!” exclaimed Xiaoshuai.

“Check out this golden human skeleton, though. I can still sense their Apotheosis Realm qi even though they’re dead.”

The skeleton was in a genuflected posture, hand gripping their blemished sword to support their body, yet their head was up similarly to someone who had not surrendered. Mu Yu felt as though there were irascible golden flames in their eye sockets. “I wonder if he killed everyone here.”

Upon setting foot inside the valley, the skeleton came to life, and, accompanying a thunderous howl, it attempted to halve Mu Yu. Mu Yu promptly deflected the attack with a horizontal slash, knocking the skeleton back and its golden glow away.

“What the?” Mu Yu picked up the long sword belonging to the skeleton. “This is a good sword.”

“Hey, there’s an ultimate immortal gem in its eye socket,” hollered Xiaoshuai, digging out the gem that sustained the skeleton’s cultivation.

“What an odd place.” Mu Yu stowed away the gem Xiaoshuai retrieved.

Boom!

“Hargh!”

“Sounds like we’ve found some people fighting.”
