Chapter 1047 The 5 Great 9th Grade True Immortals
Three thousand eight hundred cosmic years away from the True Extreme Domain, there lies a vast and boundless domain—the Fire Crow Domain.
This domain has a diameter exceeding three thousand cosmic years, as vast as a starry sea. Compared to it, the True Extreme Domain is merely an insignificant younger brother, not even a tenth of its territory. The entire Fire Crow Domain is firmly controlled by the Fire Crow Clan. The numerous True Immortal races and thousands of Immortal Sects within the domain are all vassal forces of the Fire Crow Clan, required to regularly offer war merits and await orders.
The terrifying power of the Fire Crow Clan is evident; in this Nine Domains Continent, there are no more than fifty people who can rival them.
At the heart of the Fire Crow Domain stands a colossal city stretching for a hundred million light-years—the Heavenly Crow Immortal City. The entire city is forged from Nine Heavens Profound Fire Crystals, with eternal flames flowing between its bricks and stones. From afar, it resembles a gigantic three-legged fire crow that has lain dormant for billions of years, its outstretched wings covering billions of stars. The raging aura of scorching heaven and boiling seas swirling around its body even distorts the outer galaxies, as if it might rise into the sky at any moment and devour all living beings with the force of a wildfire.
The city walls, millions of light-years high, stood like a natural barrier separating immortals from mortals, enveloped by nine layers of immortal arrays and seventy-two restrictions. As the array patterns swirled, dark red ghostly flames and golden solar fire alternately spewed forth, emanating a pressure that made even ninth-rank True Immortals tremble—even some weaker half-step Golden Immortals, if they dared to trespass into this city, would surely be annihilated by the array, suffering the destruction of both body and soul.
This is the foundation of the Fire Crow Clan on the Nine Domains Continent, a forbidden land that countless living beings fear.
"Dang...dang...dang..."
Suddenly, a rapid and heavy bell rang out from the direction of the ancestral temple in the center of Tianwu Immortal City. The bell sound was like thunder rolling across the air, penetrating through layers of space, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to every corner of the entire Tianwu Immortal City.
This bell is not a festive sound, but the "Blood Bell" used by the Fire Crow Clan to signal the highest level of emergency. It may not even appear once in several Nine Realms Immortal Wars.
next moment……
"boom......"
Terrifying pressure surged forth from the palaces and mansions surrounding the immortal city, as if a dormant volcano had suddenly awakened. The weakest of these pressures were those of a seventh-grade True Immortal, interspersed with dozens of eighth-grade True Immortal auras that shook the void, and more than ten ninth-grade True Immortal pressures that pierced the clouds like pillars supporting the sky, freezing the air in the entire immortal city as solid as iron.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of fire ripped through the void, converging towards the ancestral shrine in the center of Tianwu Immortal City like a meteor shower. These were the escape lights transformed from the high-level True Immortals of the Fire Crow Clan—the crimson ones were seventh-grade True Immortals, the purple-gold ones were eighth-grade True Immortals, and those with tails of flame hundreds of light-years long, radiating an aura of destruction, were the ninth-grade True Immortals of the clan.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of figures had gathered in the central square of Tianwu Immortal City. They were all dressed in the unique flame battle robes of the Fire Crow Clan, embroidered with three-legged fire crow totems. Their faces were solemn as iron, and their gazes were all fixed on the blood-red jade mirror floating above the ancestral shrine.
A faint yet clear bloodline fluctuation was rhythmically pulsating above it, and the coordinates of the source of the fluctuation pointed directly to the True Extreme Domain Falling Phoenix Valley, like a brand.
"It's Elder Lie Huo's bloodline mark!" A ninth-rank True Immortal clad in purple-gold armor clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. His eyes blazed with astonishing fury, and his voice, like a quenched blade, shattered the silence of the plaza. "He's still alive! His coordinates are in Falling Phoenix Valley of the True Extreme Domain!"
An uproar erupted in the plaza. The True Immortals of the Fire Crow Clan were filled with rage, and their fiery aura surged dramatically. Elder Lie Huo was one of the few late-stage Ninth-Rank True Immortals in the clan, holding a revered position. When he mysteriously disappeared over 50 billion years ago, the clan dispatched several elite forces to search for him, but they had never heard from him. Unexpectedly, he had sent a message today in such a manner that was almost a cry for help!
"Dare to touch my Fire Crow Clan? You're courting death!" A red-haired True Immortal roared, flames erupting from his body millions of light-years high, scorching the surrounding void with crackling sounds.
“True Extreme Domain? That’s the territory of the Profound True Immortal Domain, just a middle domain.” Another ninth-rank True Immortal, dressed in a crimson-gold battle robe, frowned and pondered, the flame totem on the robe fluctuating with his aura. “As far as I know, the strongest people there are only a few quasi-ninth-rank True Immortals. Even if someone takes the final step in these ten cosmic eras, they would never be a match for Elder Lie Huo. There must be something else going on in this matter.”
"Elder Lieshan is absolutely right." A True Immortal immediately chimed in, his voice laced with disdain, "Those aphid-like forces in the True Extreme Domain, let alone whether they have the strength, even if they did, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on our clan's elders. There must be some unknown force pulling the strings in the shadows, trying to use this to provoke the might of our Fire Crow Clan!"
Amidst the discussions, a ninth-rank True Immortal with a resolute face and a scar on his chin stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, let's go to Falling Phoenix Valley and rescue that old ghost Lie Huo first! He's been forced to use the Bloodline Resonance Technique, so Lie Huo's situation is probably extremely dire, and he might even be on the verge of death!"
"Lie Huan is right." A deep, resonant voice rang out. Everyone turned to look and saw an old man in a black fire robe, his face aged but his eyes sharp as an eagle, slowly walking out. It was none other than Lie Min, the current Grand Elder of the Fire Crow Clan. His hair fluttered like flames as his gaze swept over the pulsating light reflected in the blood-red jade mirror. He said in a deep voice, "We can investigate later who is plotting against our clan's elders. The most urgent task is to rescue Elder Lie Huo. Second Elder, Third Elder, and Lie Shan and Lie Yun, you will all accompany me to Falling Phoenix Valley."
The four people whose names were called were all top-tier ninth-grade True Immortals in the clan. Among them, the Second Elder, Lie Qiong, was a ninth-grade Perfect True Immortal, just like the First Elder, Lie Min. Upon hearing this, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully replied, "I will obey the First Elder's order!"
On the other side, Elder Lie Huan hesitated slightly, then stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Elder, that mysterious force was able to force Elder Lie Huo to such an extent, so its strength must be considerable. At least a peak ninth-grade True Immortal must have intervened, or even a perfect ninth-grade True Immortal. Should we... contact the elders?"
Elder Lie Min waved his hand, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "The ancestors are at a critical moment right now, and we must not disturb them. The Second Elder, the Third Elder, and I are enough."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a crimson seal engraved with a three-legged fire crow pattern in his palm. The moment the seal appeared, the surrounding air boiled violently, and even a half-step Golden Immortal could feel a heart-palpitating pressure. "I will also carry the Blazing Crow Seal. With the help of this seal, plus the assistance of the Second Elder and the others, I am more than capable of contending with a mid-stage half-step Golden Immortal. You have no need to worry."
"Second Elder, Third Elder, Lieshan, Lieyun, let's not delay, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Lie Min turned around and transformed into a dark red streak of light, soaring into the sky. Wherever he passed, the clouds were burned to ashes.
Second Elder Lie Qiong followed closely behind, unleashing the terrifying aura of a perfect ninth-grade True Immortal. Flames, like wings, pierced the sky, leaving a trail of fire that stretched across heaven and earth.
The Third Elder, Lie Kun, along with Lie Shan and Lie Yun, two peak Ninth-Rank True Immortals, immediately followed. The five figures, carrying the momentum of burning the heavens and boiling the seas, instantly broke through the protective array of Tianwu Immortal City and sped towards the direction of Luofeng Valley in the True Extreme Domain. Even space was torn apart by their speed, leaving dark cracks.
......
Time flies, and 180 million years have passed like sand slipping through our fingers.
In the southern part of the True Extreme Domain, there is Fallen Phoenix Valley.
Unbeknownst to many, the Four Symbols Suppressing Immortal Array had quietly restarted, once again enveloping the entire valley. The phantoms of the four divine beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—manifested amidst the flowing array patterns, blotting out the sky and the sun. However, their aura was far weaker than when they suppressed Elder Lie Huo—the Azure Dragon's scales were dull, the White Tiger's claws and teeth were missing, the Vermilion Bird's wings were burning with remnants of flame, and the Black Tortoise's tortoise shell was covered in cracks. The edges of the phantoms even had a somewhat transparent blur. Upon closer inspection, they could barely reach the level of a peak ninth-grade True Immortal, as if they were barely maintaining their form and would dissipate into specks of light at any moment.
At the center of the grand formation, Elder Lie Huo's figure remained upright, yet his disheveled state was undeniable. His aura had weakened by nearly half, almost dropping him to the level of a mid-stage ninth-grade True Immortal. The flames swirling around him had also dimmed considerably, and even his hair was scorched and curled. Above his head floated a pearl shimmering with dark purple light, his natal True Immortal artifact—the Profound Fire Heavenly Pearl. Strands of pure Profound Black Heavenly Fire dripped from the pearl, enveloping his entire body like a curtain, desperately resisting the occasional sharp claws and flames from the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts.
Surprisingly, his gaze was clear at this moment, his eyes flashing with restraint and sharpness, showing no trace of the dullness of a puppet on strings, as if the image of being manipulated by others 180 million years ago was just a vivid illusion.
"They've finally arrived. Two perfect ninth-grade True Immortals and three peak ninth-grade True Immortals. That's quite a grand gesture. It's a pity that no half-step Golden Immortals came."
