Three immortals, two from the Divine Ruins and Immortal Shangzhen, besieged the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, demanding Nanhua's surrender and the vacation of their mountain gate. Immortal Cangwu shattered the Sacred Land's Mountain Protection Array with a single strike, leaving defenders helpless. As destruction loomed, Fairy Yuehua of the Night Moon Elf Race intervened, pleading for mercy against the juniors.

"I merely hope, Fellow Daoist Cangwu, that you'll exercise some mercy—and the utmost if you can."

"Are you instructing me on what to do?"

Much like Immortal Shangzhen, Immortal Cangwu showed no respect toward Fairy Yuehua at this instant either.

He cast a frigid glance her way and spoke in a detached tone:

"What right do you have to demand mercy for them? Simply because you're from the Night Moon Elf Race, a people reduced to mere singing courtesans?"

"You..."

Fairy Yuehua's lovely visage shifted abruptly.

Rage surged within her, mingled with a touch of sorrow she couldn't suppress.

Indeed.

The Night Moon Elf Race's standing in the Upper Realm had truly fallen to what Immortal Cangwu described—like entertainers who sang for a living.

Yet hearing such blunt words directed at her made it bitterly hard to swallow.

"Conveniently, my dwelling lacks performers such as dancers right now.

Daoist Yuehua, since you're here, why not join me afterward to pick out some singers and dancers from your Night Moon Elf Race for my place?"

Immortal Cangwu suddenly added these words.

They were even more brazen this time.

As he uttered them, a horrifying aura exploded from his frame.

The surrounding space trembled violently under its pressure.

Fairy Yuehua and all onlookers felt a deep shock in their cores.

"Immortal Transformation Third Layer Heaven!"

This revelation stunned the crowd.

Immortal Cangwu before them had actually reached the Immortal Transformation Third Layer Heaven realm.

Everyone knew that in today's Lower Realm, Immortal Transformation Third Layer Heaven stood as the peak of battle prowess.

Without a supreme Immortal Treasure or a banned artifact,

No one could easily challenge an Immortal at the Immortal Transformation Third Layer Heaven.

Fairy Yuehua proved no different.

Her graceful form backed away step by step, distorting rule ripples across the void.

Finally, her porcelain cheeks flushed red.

Clearly, that unseen clash had cost her dearly.

Now, Immortal Cangwu shifted his stare from her to the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, murder flashing in his eyes.

"Evidently, none of you desire that chance to live.

In that case, don't fault me for my ruthlessness."

With those words, the Immortal Dao runes hovering above Immortal Cangwu's head morphed anew into countless blades, hacking at the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land's Mountain Protection Array.

Boom!

It resembled the sky crumbling down.

The Mountain Protection Array of the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, freshly reignited, dimmed under the barrage and soon buckled.

A deafening explosion rang out.

In that instant, the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land's Mountain Protection Array burst apart completely.

Worse still, Immortal Cangwu's assault pressed on relentlessly.

The moment the Mountain Protection Array shattered, his conjured swords streaked straight into the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.

One could imagine the devastation if those strikes landed—the whole Sacred Land reduced to rubble in a flash.

Buzz!

Yet at that very moment, a scroll unfurling in the heavens unleashed mighty fluctuations, abruptly blocking Immortal Cangwu's momentum.

"What?"

The sight startled many onlookers.

Even Immortal Cangwu, Immortal Shangzhen, and the gray-haired elder saw their pupils shrink.

"An Immortal Treasure!"

No one had anticipated this.

Saint Master Luo Changsheng, Spiritual Abyss Saint King, and the rest felt their hearts quake.

For they now identified the scroll as their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land's heirloom, the Ten Thousand Laws Map!

Previously, this treasure resided in the Ten Thousand Laws Tower of their Holy Land, acting as its cornerstone and aid for cultivation insights.

Luo Changsheng and others recognized its exceptional power.

But none had dreamed its true rank soared to that of an Immortal Treasure.

Now, the Ten Thousand Laws Map radiated endless rule radiance, blanketing the full expanse of the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.

From within emerged the Artifact Spirit, Elder Wan.

He eyed Immortal Cangwu, Immortal Shangzhen, and the gray-haired man, then declared steadily:

"Fellows, for offenses of old, I extend my deepest regrets.

Should amends be needed, our Upper Realm Master will return and perhaps journey to your Divine Ruins himself to settle them.

Today, however, in deference to our Upper Realm Master, please spare the young ones of my Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land any further hassle.

Afterward, count this as our personal debt to you; does that suffice?"

Elder Wan's words drew a sneer across Immortal Cangwu's features.

His eyes burned with greed toward the Ten Thousand Laws Map as he let out a sudden laugh:

"Oh?"

But why bother with talks when I could seize you today as that compensation?"

He chuckled to himself.

"Haha, who would've thought raiding your Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land would bring such a bonus prize.

A full Immortal Treasure—excellent indeed."

"Daoist friend, is negotiation truly impossible?"

Seeing Immortal Cangwu's response, Elder Wan, the Artifact Spirit of the Ten Thousand Laws Map, could only sigh in resignation.

In his former days, such submission would never have crossed his mind.

But he grasped the dire straits now.

Battling Immortal Cangwu in his Immortal Treasure state?

Forget facing three Immortals at once.

Even victorious, safeguarding all the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land disciples from harm would prove impossible.

Besides, his once-mighty power had faded long ago.

Taking on just Immortal Cangwu alone would tax him greatly.

Yet the foe rejected his proposal outright.

No alternatives remained.

With that thought, his eyes turned to nearby Fairy Yuehua, and he requested:

"Daoist Yuehua, in a moment, kindly shield the disciples of my Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land."

Those words spoken, his true form unleashed a barrage of Dao techniques.

Rule light blazed across the firmament in terror.

Immortal Cangwu's gaze sharpened at once.

"Dreaming of dragging us all down—too greedy by far?"

As he finished, dazzling immortal radiance burst from Immortal Cangwu's body.

It wove into rule nets.

Buzzing fiercely.

They swiftly ensnared the entire Ten Thousand Laws Map.

A thunderous roar.

The sky appeared to shatter.

Storms, fires, thunderbolts—like doomsday rules—made all who felt the aura blanch.

Even Fairy Yuehua sensed crushing pressure then.

As she moved to heed Elder Wan's plea and guard the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land's disciples, Immortal Shangzhen blocked her path.

"Haha, Daoist Yuehua, best stay out of it.

Interfere, and your Night Moon Elf Race courts utter disaster."

"You..."

Fairy Yuehua's exquisite face twisted again.

Before she could respond, Immortal Shangzhen lunged at her.

"If you insist on acting, then let's exchange moves."

Buzz!

With that, radiant immortal glow also erupted from Immortal Shangzhen.

This ignited resolve in Fairy Yuehua's eyes at last.

Even statues harbor some fury.

After endless provocations, how could her spirit remain unstirred?

Thus,

In the blink of an eye, the two Immortals clashed fiercely.

Celestial brilliance flooded the domain, dread rule chains weaving wildly.

In seconds, huge swaths of void collapsed into black holes.

The whole Central Earth Divine Continent quaked fiercely, teetering on the brink of ruin.
