Chapter 287: The Overturning of a Sword
"Fear not, everyone!"
"Our Blissful Immortal Palace's defensive array can withstand the full-force attacks of Emperor Spirit Realm experts for seven days, and those of Emperor Ethereal Realm experts for one day."
"Even the top experts among the celestial forces cannot breach the array within an hour."
"Guard the defensive array, we await the return of our master!"
Amidst the anxious atmosphere of Blissful Immortal Palace, the newly appointed elder stepped forward.
Though she did not rank high among the elders, circumstances dictated her leadership due to the casualties.
At this moment, the new elder led the elders and disciples, exerting all efforts to activate the defensive array against the impending strike of a green sword aura.
As the defensive array solidified, the people of Blissful Immortal Palace seemed to regain confidence.
"With our blessings, the defensive array's defense is even more astonishing. This person's sword aura cannot possibly breach it."
"I have sent word to our master. They shall return to the celestial realm soon."
"When the master returns, we shall coordinate inside and out, even if it means the demise of these insignificant foes!"
The new elder of Blissful Immortal Palace gazed proudly at the defensive array, believing it to be secure.
However, in the next moment, the green sword aura arrived in an instant!

Crack!
A crisp sound reverberated, and the eyes of everyone within the defensive array widened with shock and fear!
"No!"
"This cannot be!"
As the sword aura descended, the elder of Blissful Immortal Palace found it hard to believe, yet immediately summoned her own life-saving artifact to defend herself.
The other elders did the same.
The disciples, previously exerting all their effort to activate the defensive array, were struck down as the array shattered, each one spitting blood from the backlash.
Before they could even deploy their artifacts, they were enveloped by the sword aura and perished one by one!
Under the cover of the sword aura, the elders did not hold out for long.
With the defensive array crumbling, they fell one after another.
Only the newly appointed elder had prepared early, knowing full well that her position wasn't worth a damn...
At the moment of death, she hastily ensconced her soul in a golden talisman, narrowly escaping death.
"Escape!"
"We must escape!"
With one thought on the talisman, the elder knew she had to survive before even considering the master's return for revenge, or even knowing who wielded that terrifying sword.
Such a formidable opponent was beyond what Blissful Immortal Palace could withstand.
Perhaps the master could... what a load of crap, the master probably couldn't even handle them single-handedly; they'd likely need to seek help from some superior sect in the Immortal Realm...
But before that, she had to ensure her own survival!
Fleeing all the way, the elder dared not leave through the boundary gate, instead directly entering a spatial rift beside it.
Entering the spatial rift in her soul state, though perilous, was still better than facing that peerless powerhouse directly, offering a glimmer of hope for survival.
In the chaotic flow of space, the elder's soul grew weaker and weaker.
Her cultivation plummeted to the early stages of the Immortal Stage, before finally escaping the small world of Blissful Immortal Palace.
Just as she emerged from the small world, she encountered a fully armed cultivator.
"Senior, spare me!"
"Senior, spare me!"
The elder immediately begged for mercy.
She thought the person in front of her was that peerless powerhouse.
"Senior?"
Chen Feng snapped out of his realization and immediately noticed a golden talisman begging for mercy.
What in the world was this?
Oh well, regardless... A treasure plus a residual soul, another stroke of luck has come!
Chen Feng's eyes lit up instantly.
"Surrender the treasure, and I will spare your life."
"What?"
The elder was taken aback.
Wasn't this the terrifying entity that had just destroyed their sect? How come the focus was now on some treasure, acting like an uncultured bumpkin...
With these thoughts in mind, she cautiously released a strand of divine consciousness.
Huh??
Mid King Stage!
What nonsense!
Her anger surged instantly, ready to strike and annihilate the ant before her.
But just as she was about to act, she suddenly realized.
This person seemed to have been in a state of realization just now and was standing behind that peerless powerhouse, observing...
Could it be a descendant of that peerless powerhouse? Or a lackey?
If she could capture this person, perhaps...
The elder's mind raced, eyes flashing with cold light as she decided to take action. However, this time, her strike wasn't meant to kill.
Despite her cultivation plummeting to the early stages of the Immortal Stage, she had once been an Emperor Realm expert. Dealing with a mere mid-King Stage cultivator should be child's play, right?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Golden serpents flew out from the golden talisman, directly coiling towards Chen Feng.
"So, you're a troublemaker!"
"Could it be you're the old fart who managed to escape from Blissful Immortal Palace? Damn it..."
"Heh, but your attacks aren't that impressive!"
Chen Feng instantly conjured a shield and giant pincers in his hands, blocking the attacks of the golden serpents.
Damn it!
It's an Immortal Stage artifact!
This guy must be related to that powerhouse. Anyone who can carry something like this around must have an extraordinary relationship, even providing so many life-saving defenses!
Quickly deciding, the newly appointed elder unleashed her soul's potential.
The golden serpents immediately became denser, swinging their heads towards Chen Feng.
"Ah!"
"You sneaky bastard, biting my ass!"
"If you have the guts, come for my armor! Come for my shield!"
"You damn old coin!"
Chen Feng ran around, dodging the attacks of the golden serpents.
[The Destiny Boy by your side is getting beaten, Destiny +3000, +3000, +3000...]
Outside the boundary gate, Gu Lan retrieved the Hongmeng Sword.
With one strike, Blissful Immortal Palace was already destroyed.
A strand of remnant soul fled, but it couldn't escape her soul perception.
If it weren't for the fact that the soul happened to collide with Chen Feng from the spatial rift, she would have obliterated it with a mere thought.
Great tasks are bestowed upon great individuals...
Hmm, brushing up on Destiny is good too.
Gu Lan took out her jade fan, released a clone to clean up the battlefield in the small world, and then began to watch the battle.
A stick of incense's time passed.
Chen Feng was bitten by the golden serpents, his buttocks swollen and bruised. But with his defensive artifacts and plenty of healing pills, he managed to endure.
"You old fart, can't take it anymore, huh?"
"Young man... cough, I can still take it!"
"Come on then!"
He raised his shield, ready to counterattack.
Chen Feng had noticed that the soul aura in the golden talisman was growing weaker, making it the perfect time to strike back.
"Kid! You're asking for death!"
The elder was enraged.
She hadn't expected that as a dignified Emperor Realm cultivator, a pillar of Blissful Immortal Palace, she would end up in such a humiliating situation, unable to defeat even a King Stage cultivator! It was a great humiliation!
She no longer held back, and the golden serpent conjured by the golden talisman immediately merged into one, transforming into a giant golden python, biting toward Chen Feng.
This strike could severely wound Chen Feng, even leading to his death.
But the elder couldn't afford to consider much. If that peerless powerhouse noticed, she would be doomed.
She had to make a run for it now!
"Oh no!"
"The old fart is going all out!"
Chen Feng felt the danger but found himself locked in and unable to escape!
No way out!
He had to go all in!
In his mind appeared the image of Gu Lan's sword strike just now.
He closed his eyes and wielded the pincers like a sword.
Slash!
With a loud bang, Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes, greeted by a dazzling golden light.
Under his giant pincers, the golden python had turned into scattered golden specks.
"I fought back?"
"Damn, I've realized it!"
Excitement filled Chen Feng's eyes as if he saw his future as a sword immortal.
He swung the giant pincers again, extinguishing the golden light before him.
"Uh, Sen... Senior!?"
Chen Feng was instantly stunned.
Where the golden talisman was originally located, Gu Lan stood tall, holding a struggling golden talisman in her hand...
