Chapter 917: Earth Wood Golden Immortal

“How long will that take?”

“30 years.”

“……”

Hearing this, Xu Fan rubbed his chin.

After already traveling for so long in the star region, it seemed a bit pathetic to still be on the way to the Immortal Realm.

“Teleport me to The Power of the Giant City!”

Yet, the Immortal Jade in his treasury led Xu Fan to choose the most cost-effective method.

A Void Teleportation Formation lit up, enveloping Xu Fan and directly transporting him outside The Power of the Giant City.

Xu Fan looked at the densely carved defensive formations on the city walls and couldn’t help but pause to observe for a moment.

“It doesn’t seem that impressive; if a Golden Immortal really came, they could hold on for just about a month,” Xu Fan said as he stepped into The Power of the Giant City.

At that moment, the Giant City felt somewhat desolate because many people had left due to the news of the Earth Wood Tribe’s army approaching.

Only the ordinary cultivators with low cultivation levels, who couldn’t afford the teleportation fees, remained.

In Xu Fan’s perception, the entire Giant City had only one true immortal left, likely maintaining the defensive formations, allowing The Power of the Giant City to function.

“Everyone, don’t be nervous. As soon as the Earth Wood army arrives, we will immediately activate the Giant City’s defensive array and open the teleportation formation for free.”

The lone remaining true immortal’s voice echoed throughout The Power of the Giant City.

“That’s pretty quick. Just got back and they’re already teleporting people away,” Xu Fan said with a slight smile.

At that moment, Xu Fan focused his thoughts, his figure suddenly disappearing and reappearing in the core private room of the Giant City’s defensive formation.

Ignoring the astonished true immortal, he directly activated the defensive formation.

In that instant, a hand large enough to cover the entire Giant City appeared in the sky.

With the power of celestial might, it aimed to crush the Giant City in one blow.

“Boom!!”

The giant hand smashed into the defensive formation of the Giant City, a crack began to extend from that hand, causing the entire Giant City to sink several feet into the ground.

“Friend, let me take over!”

The true immortal, who had originally been controlling the defensive formation, finally reacted and began to manipulate the formation.

The cracks in the defensive formation started to slowly mend, and the giant hand transformed into a virtual image and disappeared.

“A Golden Immortal from the Earth Wood Tribe has arrived!!”

In an instant, the whole plaza went into chaos, with those low-level cultivators frantically rushing towards the teleportation formation.

Xu Fan merely looked up at the sky; through the defensive formation, he saw a figure above.

A being clad in a green robe, with dark green skin and a hint of fluorescence in the center of its brow, stood high in the sky, coldly gazing down at The Power of the Giant City.

At that moment, all the cultivators gathered at The Power of the Giant City’s teleportation formation went wild.

Xu Fan and his companions realized that while the teleportation formation was free to use, they lacked the necessary Spatial Energy to activate it. Attempting to supplement it with Immortal Jade was futile, as they didn’t have enough.

Xu Fan glanced at the millions of low-level cultivators in The Power of the Giant City, then turned to the true immortal. "These cultivators are just bait you’ve left behind, aren’t they? You’re planning to abandon this clone too," Xu Fan remarked calmly.

"Exactly," the true immortal controlling the defensive formations replied with a hint of madness. "The powerful true immortals have all fled, leaving me, a mere clone. But those low-level cultivators are even more pitiful. They’ve become the Earth Wood Tribe Golden Immortal’s scapegoats, all for the selfish desires of the ruling true immortals."

The Earth Wood Golden Immortal loomed over the city, his oppressive aura sealing off the surrounding space. Even with Immortal Jade, escape was impossible.

"Just arrived in the Immortal Realm and already caught up in this mess. What rotten luck," Xu Fan sighed.

Chaos erupted in The Power of the Giant City. Core Formation stage cultivators, driven by desperation, began slaughtering those weaker than themselves, looting space rings in search of Immortal Jade to activate the teleportation formation.

"Silence!" Xu Fan’s voice thundered through the souls of every low-level cultivator in the city, stunning them into stillness. The frenzied killers had their souls obliterated on the spot.

"Disperse! Return to your homes. Someone will come to guide you to safety," Xu Fan’s voice echoed through the city, igniting a spark of hope in everyone.

Millions dropped to their knees, thanking Xu Fan for his mercy.

"If I hadn’t encountered this, I wouldn’t have intervened. But since I have, I can’t just stand by," Xu Fan said, his gaze lifting to the Earth Wood Golden Immortal in the sky.

The Golden Immortal’s eyes met Xu Fan’s through the layers of defensive formations.

"A prodigy of the human race. This time, I’ve hit the jackpot," the Earth Wood Tribe’s true immortal sneered cruelly.

Xu Fan muttered, "Golden Immortals aren’t all they’re cracked up to be."

"Grape, activate the Wankong big weapon. Let’s give the Earth Wood Golden Immortal a taste," Xu Fan commanded.

They both turned their attention skyward, eager to witness the fruits of their labor on Hidden Spirit Island.

"Understood!" Grape responded with excitement.

Xu Fan and his clone had worked tirelessly to secure their place in the Immortal Realm, crafting numerous big weapons, though only a few held significant power.

The Earth Wood Golden Immortal felt Xu Fan’s gaze and a sudden sense of danger. As he prepared to evade, he caught the mockery in Xu Fan’s eyes.

Anger flared within him. What did a mere Quasi-Immortal think he could do?

The Earth Wood Golden Immortal wasn’t naive; even two Golden Immortals from the Western Spirit Immortal Domain couldn’t best him.

Suddenly, a cubic chaotic protective shield enveloped the Earth Wood Golden Immortal. The protective shield of The Power of the Giant City began to fracture, space cracks forming around the chaotic shield like countless blades slicing through the void.

Inside the shield, the wide road laws were being drained, turning the area into a lawless vacuum.

The Earth Wood Golden Immortal’s expression shifted as he suspected an ambush by a peer. A small green tree apparition sprouted behind him, growing rapidly to breach the space. The unique wide road laws of the Earth Wood Tribe emanated from the tree, bolstering the Golden Immortal.

But to his horror, the chaotic shield began absorbing even his tribe’s unique laws.

The space grew unstable, splitting under the vacuum. The Earth Wood true immortal’s true form was severed, only to reform instantly—a testament to the Golden Immortal’s resilience.

The cycle repeated: space split, the true form shattered, and reformed.

Outside the chaotic shield, Xu Fan observed the broken space calmly. Among his arsenal, the Wankong was the most lethal single-target weapon.

"If it were a weaker Golden Immortal, I might have actually killed them," Xu Fan mused regretfully.

Outside The Power of the Giant City, a seedling sprouted from the ground, rapidly growing into a giant tree that overshadowed the entire city in mere moments.
