Undying Life

Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Zhong Shan vs. Ancestor Xue Mei

In the mortal realm, the entire populace of the Great Ying Imperial Court erupted with excitement!

The Saint King's voice, Zhong Shan's voice, echoed through every city, filling the air with endless cheers.

The soldiers on the front lines, upon hearing Zhong Shan's voice, felt their blood boil. In an instant, their fighting spirit surged by more than thirty percent, their morale soaring.

This was the foundation! Zhong Shan was the foundation of Great Ying. With strengthened morale, they could exert extraordinary power.

All across the battlefield, the previously retreating Great Ying soldiers fought back with renewed vigor, astonishing the enemy forces and causing them to retreat. The enemy generals were bewildered by the sudden change.

Except for the soldiers fighting the enemy, almost all the citizens of Great Ying raised their right hands. That familiar feeling returned.

After a moment of exhaustion, an immense amount of energy converged towards the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, then transferred into Zhong Shan's body!

A continuous, terrifying surge of energy from the imperial court's populace!

Zhong Shan faced off against Ancestor Xue Mei!

At this moment, Ancestor Xue Mei's eyes were streaming with blood tears! Merged with the Heavenly Dao, she let out a mournful roar to the sky.

"Zhong Shan, I'm going to kill you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

Ancestor Xue Mei screamed, filled with frustration.

In that moment, Ancestor Xue Mei understood what had happened. She had absorbed all the bad luck. Initially, she had planned to use the Plum Blossom Eye to counter Zhong Shan's divine ability, but before she could, her Plum Blossom Eye was completely destroyed.

The Plum Blossom Eye was one of her strongest cards, never shown to anyone. Had she not been extremely curious about Zhong Shan's eye technique, she would never have used it.

And yet, it shattered as soon as it was used!

Losing her disciples did not compare to the pain of losing the Plum Blossom Eye.

Ancestor Xue Mei was truly enraged. Only by torturing Zhong Shan to death could she relieve her hatred!

This grudge had become enormous!

With a wave of her hand, the world turned white, covered in heavy snow. The vast sky and earth were instantly shrouded in snow and clouds. The Heavenly Dao that Ancestor Xue Mei had merged with was related to snow!

The powerful force of the Heavenly Dao caused the surrounding vegetation to shatter from the cold, and even some mountains cracked and were covered in snow.

Weaker cultivators felt a chilling cold.

At the same time, a powerful white pillar of light descended from the sky.

Wherever the white pillar passed, all surrounding gases froze, forming snow, ice, and various white crystals. As the white pillar descended, it resembled a massive avalanche, roaring towards Zhong Shan.

It was so vast that it chilled the hearts of many who witnessed it.

"Saint King~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!" Luo Xingchen exclaimed in alarm.

But it was too late. The powerful avalanche had already sealed off that area, and the white pillar was right in front of Zhong Shan.

Countless experts felt their scalps tingle. The power of the Heavenly Dao was overwhelming.

It was certain death; an enraged Ancestor Xue Mei was not holding back, delivering a fatal blow to Zhong Shan from the start.

"He's done for!"

"He's definitely done for. If Zhong Shan survives this Heavenly Dao attack, I'll gouge out my eyes!"

All around, people felt pity for Zhong Shan.

But to everyone's astonishment, Zhong Shan assumed a stance and threw a punch towards the sky!

The fist met the descending white pillar of light. Instead of being overwhelmed, Zhong Shan's punch seemed to merge with the energy gathered from all of Great Ying. The force of his punch, combined with the energy of millions of citizens, created an explosive impact that resonated through the battlefield.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still. The punch shattered the white pillar of light, sending shockwaves rippling through the air and dispersing the surrounding avalanche. The sheer power of the punch, fueled by the collective strength of Great Ying, overwhelmed Ancestor Xue Mei's Heavenly Dao force.

Ancestor Xue Mei staggered back, disbelief and horror etched on her face as her attack was neutralized. The crowd, initially filled with despair, now erupted in cheers and amazement at Zhong Shan's incredible feat.

The battle between Zhong Shan and Ancestor Xue Mei had taken a dramatic turn, showcasing the indomitable spirit and unity of Great Ying under Zhong Shan's leadership.

Zhong Shan's punch met the white pillar of light, confronting the force of the Heavenly Dao.

"Is this for real? What am I seeing?"

"Zhong Shan is fighting back?"

People watched in astonishment, seeing a Great Immortal face the power of the Heavenly Dao. It was as if a praying mantis was trying to block the foot of an elephant with its tiny arms.

Could the mantis's arms stop the elephant's foot? Clearly not.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

With a deafening roar, the avalanche around Zhong Shan exploded outward in all directions. The terrifying impact sent powerful ripples through the void.

Endless snow shot out in all directions, and at the center of the blizzard, snow filled the air and ground, making it impossible to see inside. But people could see Ancestor Xue Mei.

Ancestor Xue Mei's eyes streamed with blood tears, her face extremely grim. There was even a look of disbelief.

"Did Zhong Shan actually block the power of the Heavenly Dao? What a joke!"

"The blizzard covers everything; we can't see clearly!"

"I don't believe it!"

People were torn. Could a Great Immortal really block the power of the Heavenly Dao? Was that possible?

The truth emerged as the snow settled, revealing Zhong Shan at the center—a towering figure, ten thousand zhang tall.

"Is he a monster?"

"That big?"

"Zhong Shan can transform?"

Cries of astonishment spread.

"No, it's the power of the imperial domain. Zhong Shan is borrowing the power of Great Ying's domain?" someone suddenly exclaimed.

"The power of Great Ying's domain? Indeed, the lord of an imperial court can challenge an Ancestral Immortal, but only within their own domain. But this isn't the territory of Great Ying!"

"Zhong Shan has mastered the ability to borrow power from afar? Few imperial courts in this world can do that!"

Zhong Shan's muscular, gigantic form was awe-inspiring, standing ten thousand zhang tall. It was an incredibly shocking sight.

Zhong Shan! Ancestor Xue Mei?

This battle was far from over!

"Unfortunately, Zhong Shan still can't defeat Ancestor Xue Mei," Guiguzi shook his head.

"Why?" Bai Qi asked in confusion.

"Great Ying's territory is still relatively small. Borrowing the power of Great Ying's domain only provides so much. If Ancestor Xue Mei were a newly ascended Ancestral Immortal, Zhong Shan might have a chance. But Ancestor Xue Mei is already in a semi-fused state with the Heavenly Dao!" Guiguzi explained.

"Semi-fused with the Heavenly Dao?"

"Yes, like you see now. Ancestor Xue Mei isn't fully merged with the Heavenly Dao, but in a semi-fused state, which is tens of times stronger than Randeng in the past. Zhong Shan is in a tough spot," Guiguzi evaluated.

"Let's wait. There might still be a sudden change," Ying said calmly.

"Yes."

In the arena, Zhong Shan's punch had destroyed Ancestor Xue Mei's Heavenly Dao force, but the mountain beneath him was also shattered by his immense power.

Zhong Shan, without hesitation, charged towards the Heavenly Dao where Ancestor Xue Mei stood. Swinging his terrifyingly large fist, he aimed a powerful blow at Ancestor Xue Mei.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

With a deafening roar, the surrounding snow was blasted away, sending shockwaves through the air and creating powerful spatial ripples.

As Zhong Shan's punch landed, the white Heavenly Dao remained unmoved, but Ancestor Xue Mei's body trembled inside.

Ancestor Xue Mei's heart skipped a beat. Zhong Shan intended to force her out of the Heavenly Dao? Quickly, she waved her hands, sending beams of white light, like the ones before, crashing down towards Zhong Shan.

The power of the Heavenly Dao surged towards Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan's fists, like the finest divine weapons, repeatedly struck upwards, clashing forcefully with Ancestor Xue Mei's attacks.

The continuous booming sounds produced powerful spatial ripples around Zhong Shan, making it difficult to see inside.

"He's a monster!"

"Zhong Shan is too fierce!"

"A madman! This giant is too domineering!"

Those below the level of Great Immortal couldn't help but exclaim in shock. Zhong Shan's actions were not only a display of power but also a visual spectacle that left a lasting impact.

Some even began to wonder if they should seek high positions under Zhong Shan if he reestablished control over Great Ying.

Inside the white Heavenly Dao, Ancestor Xue Mei's body trembled continuously, a flash of anger in her eyes. She suddenly produced a massive turtle shell.

The turtle shell was of a purple jade color, emitting a faint glow, and it was divided into nine neatly arranged sections.

"Nine Palaces Pushing the Sky Turtle Shell?" someone in the distance exclaimed.

"What is that?"

"Ancestor Xue Mei's treasure, used for calculations and also for defense. It's rumored she once used it to kill a newly ascended Ancestral Immortal!" the person explained.

Zhong Shan, seeing the turtle shell, became cautious.

Although it seemed he was overpowering Ancestor Xue Mei, Zhong Shan knew he couldn't truly harm her. Despite his immense strength, he was still an ant before the mighty Heavenly Dao. His attacks barely affected Ancestor Xue Mei; her true lethal move had yet to come.

Seeing the Nine Palaces Pushing the Sky Turtle Shell, Zhong Shan knew Ancestor Xue Mei was about to strike hard.

Staring intently at Zhong Shan, Ancestor Xue Mei tossed the turtle shell into the sky. Instantly, the enormous turtle shell merged into the massive Heavenly Dao.

The turtle shell vanished, but in its place appeared an even larger turtle shell.

It was now part of the Heavenly Dao. A massive white turtle shell emerged from the Heavenly Dao, amplifying the power of the Nine Palaces Pushing the Sky Turtle Shell by billions of times, enveloping Zhong Shan's colossal form.

In an instant, Zhong Shan disappeared from view, replaced by the massive Heavenly Dao and the white turtle shell. The giant turtle shell was a million zhang high, integrated with the Heavenly Dao.

"It's over. Zhong Shan is imprisoned by Ancestor Xue Mei's 'Heavenly Dao Cage'. He's doomed!"

"A person merged with the Heavenly Dao is truly invincible!"

"If Zhong Shan doesn't die from this, I'll gouge out my eyes!"

"Uh, didn't you say that earlier? And you still haven't done it?"

The situation was changing too rapidly, shocking everyone's senses.

"The Nine Palaces Pushing the Sky Turtle Shell is just a catalyst, used to trigger the Heavenly Dao Cage! Ancestor Xue Mei is no ordinary opponent. Even in a semi-fused state with the Heavenly Dao, she can devise ways to perform acts of complete fusion. Truly, she deserves her reputation as one of the old Ancestral Immortals," Guiguzi commented.
