Chapter 1108: Xiao Yangzi, I Really Can't Bear to Leave You

Boom!

The battle erupted entirely as two supreme immortals locked in a duel, the power of nirvana clashing against the power of immortality, annihilating time and distortioning space.

Huidoudou was completely bathed in gray flames, space collapsing and the void shattering; this was the world-ending fire that burned the immortal body and immortal soul to ashes, never to be extinguished, and should she wish, even the vast Eastern Sea could be boiled dry by these apocalyptic flames.

Fighting against her, the greatest taboo was to be touched by the apocalyptic flames, which were like maggots clinging to bone; once an immortal body was tainted, a price of blood had to be paid to dispel them.

The Immortal Ying Tian had lost his physical body largely because he had encountered this very fire during his battle with Huidoudou!

Yet the Immortal Fairy was utterly fearless, choosing instead to clash head-on with Huidoudou, smashing a fist directly into Huidoudou's face, though she was consequently tainted by the apocalyptic flames.

The Immortal Fairy's immortal soul was undying, allowing the apocalyptic flames to burn freely without inflicting a single shred of harm upon her!

"Not enough strength, Immortal." Huidoudou's crooked face, struck askew, pressed against the Immortal Fairy's fist and slowly straightened back up; this kind of punch was completely negligible to her.

"Unafraid of the apocalyptic flames, truly worthy of the Immortal Dao Fruit."

With every gesture of the two immortals, the wind and clouds transformed, chaos emerged, and immortal light surged violently as their attacks fell like a furious storm, fighting from the ground to the heavens, and then into the cosmos, where the phantoms of the stars trembled incessantly, as if on the verge of collapsing at any moment!

...

"This tremor..."

In the forbidden grounds of the Great Xia Imperial Palace, Meng Junzi and Jiang Ping'an rose to their feet together, revealing expressions of sheer disbelief.

"Is that direction the Demon Realm?!"

The two looked at each other, both deeply shocked; the Demon Realm was so tremendously far from the Great Xia Imperial Palace, yet they could actually perceive the fluctuations of the battle—just who on earth was fighting?

Back when Meng Junzi had clashed with Huidoudou in the Buddhist Kingdom, Jiang Ping'an, who was presiding over Great Xia, had not perceived any movement at all, only finding out about it after the fact!

"Has the battle finally begun after all?" Yun Zhi was currently plucking the leaves of the Enlightenment Tree in the medicine garden; sensing the fluctuations of the battle from an extreme distance, she could guess without even checking that it was the two senior fairies engaged in combat.

After gathering the leaves, she leisurely returned to Heavenly Gate Peak to brew and savor her tea.

"An epochal battle, what a pity I cannot go to witness it; Fairy Huidou carries the fortune of the senior fairy, possessing the ability to pursue fortune and avoid disaster, to turn crisis into safety, and only by fighting the senior fairy, where their fortunes cancel each other out, will she remain unable to sense whether this battle will end in victory or defeat."

"Junior Brother has not called for me either, presumably because the senior fairy expressed that she did not wish for me to interfere in this matter."

After a clash in the Eastern Sea and several subsequent trials, Yun Zhi had come to understand that to resolve the issue of Fairy Huidou, the senior fairy would ultimately have to take action herself.

"Little Yun, has an immortal war broken out?"

Daoist Master Hanhai had also sensed the battle above the Demon City and hurriedly came to Yun Zhi's place to inquire about the situation, except he could not judge exactly how many immortals were participating in the fight.

"Yes."

"Then shall we go over and take a look?" Daoist Master Hanhai felt a itch in his heart; this was an immortal war, something one might not see once in several lifetimes, and having missed the Battle of the Imperial City, he absolutely could not afford to miss it this time.

He roughly calculated the coordinates of the battlefield and opened a spatial gate, only to find that the spatial gate collapsed the very moment it formed.

"This is..." Daoist Master Hanhai's pupils shrank sharply; he had never encountered such a situation before.

Yun Zhi finished her cup of tea, poured another, and invited Grandmaster Hanhai to sit down and drink tea as well, kindly advising: "My recommendation is not to go; the space at the battlefield has already become completely chaotic, making it impossible to teleport there."

...

"Self-detonation!"

Continuous massive explosions occurred within the cosmos, fire piercing the heavens; though it was already night, it remained as bright as daytime.

Huidoudou suffered severe injuries, her blood staining the sky, but her wounds were healing at a rapid pace!

"Possessing only a soul without a physical body, how many fractions of your true strength can you actually exert!" Huidoudou said arrogantly, striding forward; she could quickly recover from her injuries solely because her physical body was excessively powerful, inherently possessing the power of self-healing without any need for a Dao Fruit.

She braved the might of the self-detonation and walked straight toward the center of the explosion, swinging a fist the exact moment the Immortal Fairy restored her physical body.

"Immortal Dao Killing Fist!"

This was a fist technique uniquely created by Huidoudou, originating from the Nirvana Dao Fruit; the punch was unparalleled, capable of triggering anomalies in heaven and earth, and the power of nirvana it contained was boundlessly vast, able to obliterate all vitality, causing even lifespan to flee rapidly into the five signs of celestial decay until death by old age!

Although the Immortal Fairy did not lack vitality, rendering the effect of obliterating vitality useless against her, even setting aside that effect, this punch still contained a force capable of shattering heaven and earth, blasting her directly away!

Huidoudou's attacks followed in quick succession, granting the Immortal Fairy no chance to breathe, hammering her directly from the cosmos down to the sixth continent—the Spiritless Continent!

This continent was like a replica of the Central Continent, featuring mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, lush and green, yet it possessed no spiritual energy, nor did any living creatures reside here, making it a rather primitive and pure place.

"All Things Wither!" Huidoudou exuded a dense aura of death; wherever she passed, vegetation withered, mountain ranges collapsed into flat land, rivers dried up, and deserts expanded before turning to ash and dissolving into nothingness.

The power of nirvana caused all things to return to nothingness.

"Constant and Unchanging!"

The Immortal Fairy shouted loudly, locking down this region and placing herself along with this place into an "eternal" state that no external force could alter.

"Truly a troublesome ability; no wonder back when you were a half-immortal, you abandoned the Nirvana Dao Fruit in favor of the Immortal Dao Fruit." Huidoudou said coldly; among all the opponents she had fought, the Immortal Dao Fruit was the most difficult to deal with, or rather, the Immortal Dao Fruit was an existence diametrically opposed to her own.

"If you only possess this much skill, you can go ahead and die!"

...

"What is the status of the battle?"

Lu Yang and the others waited anxiously for the outcome of the fight; after the Immortal Fairy and Huidoudou fought their way into the cosmos, it became impossible to distinguish which side held the advantage, and once they fought onto the Spiritless Continent, all traces of the engagement were completely lost.

Boom!

A figure was shot down, falling straight down and smashing a crater into the ground that was comparable to the size of the Demon City.

"Fairy!"

Lu Yang shouted excitedly; the person shot down was actually the Fairy!

"Don't come over!" the Immortal Fairy shouted loudly; she was currently entangled with the power of nirvana, and if Little Yangzi caught even a shred of it, he would die!

Huidoudou landed, approaching the Immortal Fairy lying on the ground step by step!

"For Xiao He's sake, I can spare your life, but everyone else besides you must die."

Huidoudou turned her head to look at Lu Yang, her eyes filled with a murderous intent too dense to dissolve: "Especially you, who knew of my existence and utilized me to resolve the corpse of Ying Tian."

The Immortal Fairy stood up unsteadily, blocking Huidoudou's path, her eyes fierce and predatory: "Little Yangzi is someone under my protection, no one is allowed to touch him!"

She looked back at Lu Yang, giving a tragic smile.

"Little Yangzi, I really am reluctant to leave you."

"Fairy, what are you trying to do!" Lu Yang's face paled with fright, and he wanted to desperately rush forward to stop her.

But it was already too late; the Immortal Fairy seemed to have made a certain determination as her soul began to glow, and her originally dim soul grew replete.

No, it was not merely replete, but had completely transformed into a body of flesh and blood!

Huidoudou looked at the Immortal Fairy in shock; this was manifesting a physical body out of the Immortal Dao Fruit?!

The Immortal Fairy stared fixedly into Huidoudou's shocked eyes, pronouncing each word distinctly: "I originally did not want to come to this step, it is you who forced me!"
