Undying Life

Chapter 637: Chapter 637: The Four Grades of Immortals - Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow

"If you can't handle him, then I'll take over!" Zhong Shan said firmly.

His confident tone made both Yin Luoyue and the Witch Tribe member pause. Although Tian Xiao had been easily defeated by this Witch Tribe member, the fighting spirit of a true warrior cannot be easily suppressed. With Zhong Shan as a reliable backup, Yin Luoyue clenched his fists and stepped forward. The Witch Tribe member's strength, though formidable, was certainly diminished under the constraints of the Lesser Thousand World. This limitation was precisely what Yin Luoyue was counting on.

The "World" ability restricted numerous experts, rendering them immobile. However, those with the embryonic form of a "Heaven" could resist the world's laws with their own "Heaven."

"Young Master of the Tian Family, how long are you going to keep up this act?" Zhong Shan said with a peculiar smile.

Zhong Shan's sudden remark made Yin Luoyue stumble and drew the Witch Tribe member's attention.

Young Master of the Tian Family? What did Zhong Shan mean?

Everyone turned to look at Tian Xiao, whose face was still pitch black after being struck by the Witch Tribe member. As the crowd focused on him, Tian Xiao's eyelids twitched.

Everyone: "..."

Sure enough, the blackness on Tian Xiao's face began to fade, and he slowly sat up.

Everyone: "..."

"How are you unscathed?" the Witch Tribe member asked in a raspy voice, staring at Tian Xiao.

Yin Luoyue was equally puzzled.

Tian Xiao was unharmed? Was he pretending all along? Both the Witch Tribe member and Yin Luoyue looked at the slowly rising Tian Xiao with utter bewilderment. What was he doing earlier? Faking his death? And so dramatically at that?

"I thought that by pretending to be mortally wounded, I could avoid being targeted by you and Xing Taidou. I didn't expect you to have mastered the 'World' ability, a miscalculation on my part!" Tian Xiao shook his head, staring at the Witch Tribe member.

When he was severely injured by the Witch Tribe member, Tian Xiao realized Xing Taidou intended to kill everyone to silence them. Severely wounded and unable to escape, his only option was to feign death. Pretending to be gravely injured was the only way to make them lower their guard. His strategy had partially succeeded; the Witch Tribe member no longer targeted him, and Xing Taidou didn't immediately kill him.

At the same time, in the Yang Realm, within the Longevity Hall of the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, Zhong Shan sat on his throne, with a group of ministers from the Great Zong before him.

"Wang Ku, do you know about the 'World' ability of immortals?" Zhong Shan asked.

Wang Ku was slightly surprised but nodded.

"What kind of power do those who possess a 'World' have?" Zhong Shan asked.

"The Grand Thousand World is home to many races, but there is a common hierarchy. Starting from the Black Immortal, one can have a rudimentary 'World,'" Wang Ku explained.

"Oh? Black Immortal?"

"Indeed. This classification begins before becoming an immortal. Before achieving immortality, each realm has ten levels, much like your current Imperial Extreme Realm, which also has ten levels. However, the Heavenly Extreme Realm has twelve levels."

"Understood."

"At the ninth level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, one can undergo tribulation to become an immortal and ascend to the Grand Thousand World. However, many choose not to. Do you know the primary reason for this?" Wang Ku asked.

"Oh? What is the reason?"

"There are four grades of immortals—Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. They correspond to Heavenly Immortal, Earth Immortal, Black Immortal, and Yellow Immortal. Achieving immortality at the ninth level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm results in becoming a Yellow Immortal, also known as a Human Immortal. At the tenth level, one becomes a Black Immortal; at the eleventh level, an Earth Immortal; and at the twelfth level, a Heavenly Immortal," Wang Ku explained.

"So, the higher the Heavenly Extreme Realm level, the higher the grade of immortality one achieves?" Zhong Shan asked solemnly.

"Yes, the lifespan of the Heavenly Extreme Realm is ten thousand years. Naturally, the higher the realm at the time of tribulation, the better. Breaking through after becoming an immortal is exponentially more difficult. The difference in power between a Heavenly Immortal and a Human Immortal is vast," Wang Ku explained.

"Twelve levels? Heavenly Immortal?" Zhong Shan said gravely.

"In that case, Ancient Shentong must have been at the twelfth level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm! Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to create the heavens and earth!" Zhong Tian nodded in agreement.

"No wonder Your Majesty once said that even immortals might not be as powerful as Ancient Shentong," Zhao Suoxiang remarked.

In the Nether Realm, at the location of Zhong Shan's shadow body.

"Supreme Yin, I was indeed injured earlier. However, don't worry about fighting him. His 'World' is just in its embryonic form, equivalent to the power of a Black Immortal, and he is suppressed by the Lesser Thousand World. You can definitely fight him!" Tian Xiao shouted to Yin Luoyue.

"Bullshit, why don't you fight him?" Yin Luoyue glared at Tian Xiao.

"A Black Immortal? You actually know about Black Immortals?" The Witch Tribe member laughed eerily.

A Black Immortal, even the weakest, was still an immortal. Although it was unclear why there was no heavenly repulsion in this realm, his immense power was undeniable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to severely injure Tian Xiao with one move. Moreover, immortals have their own mysterious techniques, and this was his world.

"And you, how did you know I wasn't really unconscious?" Tian Xiao suddenly stared at Zhong Shan.

"Young Master of the Tian Family, do you really faint that easily?" Zhong Shan replied with a question.

Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Tian Xiao furrowed his brows again.

"Supreme Yin, let's begin!" Zhong Shan said firmly.

"Alright!" Yin Luoyue nodded, flipping his hand to produce a long spear, from which a murderous aura emanated.

"Cackle... You think you can beat me? One of you is at the eighth level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, another at the first level, and yet another at the first level of the Imperial Extreme Realm?" The Witch Tribe member let out an eerie laugh.

Reaching out, the Witch Tribe member extended his palm. A faint spatial ripple spread from his palm.

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

Yin Luoyue's spear shot towards the Witch Tribe member, a powerful aura directly targeting him. Around the spear, a giant tiger head made of energy roared towards the Witch Tribe member.

"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

The spear roared as it collided with the energy emanating from the Witch Tribe member's palm.

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

With a powerful collision, Yin Luoyue's spear stopped three feet from the Witch Tribe member's palm, unable to advance. Yin Luoyue's eyes were filled with shock. Was the Witch Tribe member truly this powerful?

"Cackle..."

As the Witch Tribe member let out a cold laugh, a white light flashed, and Tian Xiao suddenly vanished from his original spot, thrusting his life staff towards the Witch Tribe member.

Tian Xiao understood that if the Witch Tribe member wasn't eliminated, he would surely die. Yin Luoyue couldn't lose; they needed to take down the Witch Tribe member in one strike.

"Buzz～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

The Witch Tribe member turned his face towards Tian Xiao, and it seemed as if a massive energy wall appeared in front of Tian Xiao. His forward momentum slowed drastically, and like Yin Luoyue, he couldn't advance any further, his staff stopping three feet away.

"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

Yin Luoyue and Tian Xiao both let out fierce battle cries, united against a common enemy. However, the Witch Tribe member at the Black Immortal level was too powerful; they couldn't get close or inflict any damage.

Zhong Shan stood with his hands behind his back, observing. But was he really just observing?

As Yin Luoyue charged, Zhong Shan's pupils contracted and turned green. His eerie gaze locked onto the Witch Tribe member.

With the opening of the Samsara Eyes, yin and yang were reversed!

A powerful force that could shake souls emanated from Zhong Shan's eyes, directly targeting the Witch Tribe member.

The Witch Tribe member's sinister laugh abruptly ceased as the hairs on his body stood on end when Zhong Shan's Samsara Eyes activated. A massive suction force pulled at him.

The moment the Witch Tribe member relaxed slightly, Yin Luoyue and Tian Xiao's weapons advanced another half-foot.

"Who are you?" the Witch Tribe member demanded fiercely.

Zhong Shan was equally astonished. The opening of the Samsara Eyes and the reversal of yin and yang had only a minor effect on the Witch Tribe member?

Facing this powerful foe, Zhong Shan realized that they needed to act quickly to eliminate him.

Zhong Shan's eyes glowed intensely green.

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

The entire dark world shook violently as if on the verge of collapse.

"What are you doing?" the Witch Tribe member shouted in horror.

Not only the Witch Tribe member but also Yin Luoyue and Tian Xiao felt a strange atmosphere, though they couldn't turn to look, focusing entirely on the Witch Tribe member.

Before Zhong Shan, endless black energy gathered. From this darkness, a green dot emerged, growing larger until a massive green portal appeared, as if leading to another world.

The portal emitted an eerie green light, and deep within, it shimmered with myriad colors. Violent astral winds danced inside, creating a suffocating pressure.

Yin Luoyue and Tian Xiao were filled with strange fear but couldn't look back, knowing that losing focus meant death.

The portal was incredibly bizarre.

The Witch Tribe member let out a scream of terror: "No, how is this possible?"

His scream confirmed Yin Luoyue's suspicion—Zhong Shan possessed an uncanny and powerful strength.

The portal of reincarnation opened!

The powerful Myriad Shadows Heaven Scripture could forcibly open a path to reincarnation.

The portal not only exerted a suction force but also had a destructive power. This force shattered the Witch Tribe member's hat.

With the hat gone, a hideous face of skin and bones, with sparse hair and dark skin, was revealed. The Witch Tribe member's appearance was so grotesque it sent chills down one's spine.

Despite his terror, the Witch Tribe member's eyes were filled with fierce anger as he stared at the portal before Zhong Shan.

"Reincarnation? A portal of reincarnation? Are you a disciple of the Reincarnation Saint?" the Witch Tribe member screamed.

The Reincarnation Saint? Zhong Shan had no idea who that was, but it didn't affect his resolve to kill the Witch Tribe member.

"Yin-Yang Reversal, Samsara Annihilation!"
