Chapter 1973 — 1973: The Mystic Sea Dragon Clan's Invasion(5)

Noticing how fast their army was falling apart, the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan's Immortals could no longer sit still and went after Yuan.

"About time I have some worthy opponents!" Yuan laughed as he confronted a Bronze Immortal, and their Immortal Qi clashed.

'What?! I'm being pushed back?!'

The Bronze Immortal was utterly stunned that he was being forced back by someone still in the Immortal Ascension Realm, a human cultivator who hadn't even truly stepped into immortality.

"How is his Immortal Qi so powerful?! He's not even an Immortal yet!"

The other Immortals were equally shaken by the sheer intensity of Yuan's Immortal Qi, and the True Immortals there wore grim expressions, unable to hide their disbelief. Yuan's Immortal Qi rivaled their own, despite still being in Immortal Ascension, while they stood at the very peak of the Immortal Realm, on the verge of stepping into God Ascension.

In the cultivation world, one only attains true immortality after transcending the Immortal Ascension Realm and stepping into the ranks of Bronze Immortals.

Though the Immortal Realm consists of only four distinct stages—Bronze, Silver, Golden, and True Immortal—the gap between each is vast, often requiring as much time and cultivation as ascending through all nine levels of Immortal Ascension. Yet Yuan, a mere cultivator still within Immortal Ascension, had already surpassed even the True Immortals.

What would happen if Yuan were to become a Bronze Immortal, let alone a True Immortal? How terrifying would his power become then? No one present could begin to fathom it—not even the God Ascension cultivators, who already stood beyond immortality.

'We must kill that human now or he'll become a huge threat to the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan and our plans!'

The Immortals quickly exchanged voice transmissions in secret, and after a brief but heavy silence, reached a unanimous decision—to strike at Yuan together, even if it meant staining their pride and shattering their reputation.

Suddenly, the battlefield shifted dramatically. Without warning, hundreds of Immortals, even those already locked in fierce combat, abandoned their fights and turned their focus toward a single target: Yuan.

"Senior Envoy! Watch out! They're all targeting you!"

Members of the Azure Dragon Clan hurriedly shouted warnings to Yuan as they pursued the forces of the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan going after him.

"Oh?"

Despite the looming threat, Yuan showed not the slightest trace of panic. In fact, a faint smile tugged at his lips.

"To think so many mighty Immortals would band together against a mere mortal like me… I'm truly honored."

"To show my gratitude," Yuan said calmly, his smile widening, "allow me to face you all with my full strength."

"What?!" The Bronze Immortal fighting Yuan was shocked to hear he wasn't even fighting at his full potential.

As the Immortals closed in, a profound, chaotic, and overwhelming aura erupted from Yuan's body like a volcanic explosion, shaking the battlefield and halting even the boldest in their tracks.

"What is that ominous energy?! It's making my soul tremble!"

The Immortals cried out in alarm, their faces twisted with confusion and unease as they encountered Chaos Energy for the first time—its presence utterly foreign, yet instinctively terrifying.

Although Yuan's main cultivation had already surpassed that of his Chaotic Heart, he intended to use it solely to enhance his own physique. And with the unparalleled destructive force of Chaos Energy, his combat prowess rose to an unfathomable degree while his cultivation remained the same.

"Why did you all stop?! If you won't come to me, then I'll come to you!" Yuan laughed, his voice echoing with battlelust as he lunged toward the Bronze Immortal before him, his speed and power now magnified many times over.

Overwhelmed by Yuan's chaotic aura, the Bronze Immortal instinctively took a step back. But the moment he turned to retreat, Yuan's eyes blazed with radiant gold.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Yuan roared, unleashing Dragon's Gaze at full power, his voice thundering like the heavens themselves.

The Bronze Immortal instantly froze in place, his soul gripped by an overwhelming pressure that crashed down like a divine hammer.

In the very next moment, without Yuan lifting a finger, the Bronze Immortal coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed—his soul shattered under the weight of Dragon's Gaze.

After all the power he had gained within the Primal Expanse, especially with his dragon powers, Yuan's Dragon's Gaze had evolved to a terrifying degree. It was potent enough to shatter souls outright, especially when unleashed at full intensity.

"D-Did he just use Dragon's Gaze?! Why does he know that technique?! I thought he was human!"

Even though they weren't directly targeted, Yuan's Dragon's Gaze was so powerful that it sent tremors through the souls of everyone nearby, leaving them shaken to their core.

"Not just Dragon's Gaze—he can use Dragon Awakening too! He's definitely a dragon!"

"We were fooled into underestimating him!"

Snapping out of their daze, the Immortals steeled themselves and renewed their assault, launching a coordinated attack against Yuan with grim determination.

Not daring to get too close to Yuan because of his Dragon's Gaze, the Immortals attacked him from afar.

Hundreds of martial techniques rained down on Yuan all at once, yet he made no effort to dodge or defend. He simply continued to charge forward, letting the attacks crash against his body without the slightest concern.

The combined assaults from the Bronze and Silver Immortals couldn't even leave a scratch on Yuan's body, while strikes from the Golden Immortals merely allowed him to feel the sting of real pain. As for the True Immortals, their attacks were powerful enough to tear through his defense and draw blood, yet he regenerated any damage received instantly, recovering in full before the Immortals could even blink their eyes in astonishment.

"What the fuck kind of physique does he have?!"

The Immortals were in utter disbelief, their eyes wide with shock as they witnessed the futility of their combined assault.

Meanwhile, every time Yuan struck with Dragon God's Vengeance, it would claim a life without fail.

"I-It must be a trick! Don't let him deceive you! Keep attacking!"

The Immortals resumed their assault, their faces with deep, growing despair.
